항만산업은 수출입 중심인 우리나라의 경제구조에서 중요한 국가기간산업이라 할 수 있다. 특히 국내 컨테이너 물동량의 75%를 처리하는 부산항은 지속적으로 글로벌 선사 물동량 유치를 위해 정기선 항로 서비스를 확대하는 노력 등 컨테이너 정기선 항로에 대한 중요도가 높아질 것으로 예상된다. 본 연구는 사회연결망 분석을 활용하여 2012년부터 2016년까지 부산항을 기항하는 컨테이너 정기선 항로 패턴분석을 통해 세계 주요항만과의 중심성을 파악하여 부산항과 연결되어 있는 항만 네트워크의 구조적인 특성을 파악하였다. 부산항 컨테이너 정기선 항로 네트워크상에 연결정도 중심성, 근접중심성, 매개중심성이 높은 항만은 싱가포르항으로 분석되었으며, 실제 연도별 부산항 주요 국가 항만별 처리물동량 순위와 부산항 컨테이너 정기선 항로 네트워크 중심성 분석 결과 간 순위 비교는 서로 상이한 것으로 나타났다. 이를 통해 부산항 처리 물동량의 높은 비율을 차지하고 있는 중국 동부항만이 부산항 컨테이너 정기선 네트워크상에서 보았을 때 부산항의 허브항으로 보기 어렵다는 점을 확인하였다. 또한 부산항 컨테이너 정기선 서비스 항로 수는 증가하더라도 해당 항로에 투입되는 선박이 중소형으로 한정되어 있거나 네트워크상 부산항이 싱가포르항 기항을 위한 피더항(Feeder Port)의 성격을 띄고 있는 것으로 추정된다.

Temporal and spatial characteristics of the frequency of several weather types and the change in air pollutant concentrations according to these weather types were analyzed over a decade (2007-2016) in seven major cities and a remote area in Korea. This analysis was performed using hourly (or daily) observed data of weather types (e.g., mist, haze, fog, precipitation, dust, and thunder and lighting) and air pollutant criteria (PM10, PM2.5, O3, NO2, CO, and SO2). Overall, the most frequent weather type across all areas during the study period was found to be mist (39%), followed by precipitation (35%), haze (17%), and the other types (≤ 4%). In terms of regional frequency distributions, the highest frequency of haze (26%) was in Seoul (especially during winter and May-June), possibly due to the high population and air pollutant emission sources, while that of precipitation (47%) was in Jeju (summer and winter), due to its geographic location with the sea on four sides and a very high mountain. PM10 concentrations for dust and haze were significantly higher in three cities (up to 250 μg/m3 for dust in Incheon), whereas those for the other four types were relatively lower. The concentrations of PM2.5 and its major precursor gases (NO2 and SO2) were higher (up to 69 μg/m3, 48 ppb, and 16 ppb, respectively, for haze in Incheon) for haze and/or dust than for the other weather types. On the other hand, there were no distinct differences in the concentrations of O3 and CO for the weather types. The overall results of this study confirm that the frequency of weather types and the related air quality depend on the geographic and environmental characteristics of the target areas.

Background: Cassia tora L., an annual or perennial plant of the Fabaceae family, is traditional medicine with various biological activities, including anti-constipation and, anti-inflammation. Chemical compounds such as anthraquinone glycoside and naphthalene derivatives have been isolated from this plant. Cassia tora L. is a common contaminant of agricultural commodities, but is toxic to cattle and poultry. Methods and Results: To investigate the potential toxicity, Cassia tora L. aqueous extract (CO) was administered orally to rats for 26 weeks at 0 (control), 300, 1,500 and 3,000㎎/㎏/day (n = 10 for male rats for each dose). The positive control comprised animals orally administered anthraquinone 100㎎/㎏/day. There was no treatment-related mortality. An increase in the kidney weight was observed at 3,000㎎/㎏/day of CO and anthraquinone 100㎎/㎏/day. Macrophage infiltration in the colon was observed at CO 1,500 and 3,000㎎/㎏/day and anthraquinone 100㎎/㎏/day, but there were no significant toxicological changes in the incidence and severity of the finding. Conclusions: The oral no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) of CO was 3,000㎎/㎏/day in male rats and no target organs were identified. In addition, 300㎎/㎏ was found to be the no-observed-effect level (NOEL) for systemic toxicity under the conditions of the study.

Background: Small particles increase airway inflammation upon reaching the alveoli. Here, we investigated the protective or therapeutic effects of Salvia plebeia R. Br. (SP_R) extracts on airway inflammation. Methods and Results: To investigate the anti-inflammatory activity of SP_R extracts, we measured their inhibitory effect on the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) expression of inflammatory mediators, and immune cell infiltration in MH-S alveolar macrophage cells and in the ambient particulate matter (APM)-exposed airway inflammation mice model. The SP_R extracts inhibited the production of ROS and expression of IL-4, IL-10, IL-15, and IL-17A mRNA in APM-stimulated MH-S cells. Oral administration of SP_R extracts suppressed APM-induced inflammatory symptoms, such as high alveolar wall thickness, excess collagen fibers, decreased mRNA expression of chemokines (Ccr9, Ccl5, Ccr3), inflammatory cytokines (IL-15, TNF-α), and IL-4 Th2 cytokine in the lung. The SP_R extracts also inhibited ROS production, granulocyte (CD11b+Gr-1+) infiltration, IL-17A, TNF-α, macrophage inflammatory protein (Mip-2), and chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 1 (Cxcl-1) production in the airway. The specific compounds in the SR-R extracts that mediate the anti-inflammatory effects were identified. Conclusions: In this study, SP_R extracts effectively inhibited airway inflammatory responses, such as ROS production and granulocyte infiltration into the airway, by regulating the expression of chemokines and inflammatory cytokines.

This study was conducted to dentify the optimum plantlet type of ‘Solara’ potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) for growth in an aeroponics system. Plantlets of ‘Solara’ were transplanted on March 16, 2015 in a greenhouse, and growth and yield characteristics were investigated at 70 and 78 days after transplanting, respectively. Stem length was shorter in plantlet of 15-day-old stem cuttings and acclimatization of culture, and the stem length of plantlets of stem cuttings tended to increase with increasing stem cutting age. The fresh weight of plants was the highest in the plantlets of 40-day-old stem cuttings and the lowest in non-rooted stem cuttings and acclimatization of culture. The highest number of first stolons was obtained in 35-day-old stem cuttings. The number of second stolons was the highest in plantlets of 35-day-old stem cuttings, acclimatization of culture, and 30- day-old stem cuttings. The total number of tubers was higher in plantlets of 35-day-old stem cuttings and acclimatization of culture, and the number of tubers above 3 g was the highest in plantlets of 35-day-old stem cuttings. The weight of tubers above 3 g was the heaviest in plantlets of 35-day-old stem cuttings(1,947 g per 10 plants), followed by plantlets of 30-day-old stem cuttings. These results indicate that plantlets of 30 to 35-day-old stem cuttings could be the best for production of ‘Solara’ potato tubers in an aeroponics system.

현대의 우리는 순간적으로 무차별 생성되는 가공된 이미지 정보들을 수용할 수밖에 없다. 이미 오래 전부터 사회는 이미지 사회로 이동했다. 상업적으로 소비자의 시선을 끌려는 시도는 지속적으로 치열하게 이루어지고 있으며, 소비자는 그렇게 시도된 이미지에 자연스럽게 굴복한다. 그러한 과정에서 발생하는 대중매체의 가공된 이미지 권력에 대한 수용과 사고와 행동방식을 살펴야하는 상황에 이르렀다. 오늘날 현대인들은 가공된 이미지가 원형 그 자체보다 더 품위를 지니는 세계의 공간에 익숙해져 있다. 제품과 소비자를 매개하는 이미지는 이제 단순한 매개체가 아니다. 이미지들은 일방적인 권력적 성향을 가질 수밖에 없다. 가공된 이미지의 대중매체 속성과 이념과 성향이 소비자를 지배한다. 이미지가 소비자를 따라가는 게 아니라 소비자가 이미지를 따라간다. 이로 인해 소비자들은 제공된 이미지에 대한 사고능력이 저하되고 현실과 비현실을 구별하지 못하게 된다. 매끄러움, 상큼 함, 깔끔함의 ‘과잉자극’이 없는 세상이 가능할까? 우리는 이미 너무나 많은 자극적으로 가공된 이미지와 많은 시간을 같이 하면서 살 수밖에 없다. 이제 현대인들은 가공된 이미지와 서로 비춰 보는 거울의 역할을 하면서 가공된 이미지와 사랑에 빠져 있음을 알 수 있다.

과거 1983년에 발생한 동해 중부 지진해일과 1993년 북해도 남서외해 지진해일에 의해 임원항 지역에 인명피해 및 재산피해가 발생하였다. 최근에는 2011년 동일본 지진해일이 발생하였으며, 일본지역에 많은 피해를 일으켰다. 이러한 일본의 피해를 통해 우리나라도 지진해일에 대한 관심이 한층 더 높아졌다. 지진해일이 발생하여 육지로 진행하면서 제일 먼저 마주치는 것이 방파제이다. 방파제는 지진해일의 에너지를 분산시켜 지진해일에 의한 재산피해 및 인명피해를 줄이는 역할을 한다. 따라서 지진해일이 발생했을 때 방파제 주변의 세굴 깊이를 예상하여 방파제 주변 변화를 예측하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 원해에서 발생하여 전파해오는 지진해일을 수치모의할 경우에는 분산효과를 고려하여 선형 천수방정식을 지배방정식으로 사용하였고, 근해의 경우 비선형 천수방정식을 지배방정식으로 사용하였다. 이에 본 연구에서는 울진원자력발전소 주변의 방파제를 대상으로 지진해일에 의한 유사가 발생하는 영역을 소류사에 의해 구성되는 소류층과 부유사의 거동이 주가되는 부유층으로 분리하여 고려하는 방법으로 방파제 주변 변화를 예측하는 수치모의를 수행하였다.

최근 몇몇의 거대한 영향을 준 지진해일은 주로 태평양 주위에서 발생하고 있으며, 그 중 2011년 3월 11일 일본에서 발생한 지진해일은 사회적, 과학적으로 관심을 끌고 있다. 동일본 지진해일 발생으로 인해 사망(실종 포함) 20,000명 이상의 많은 인명피해와 엄청난 재산손실을 입혔다. 대한민국은 삼면이 바다로 둘러싸이고, 연안역에서 활발한 사회, 경제적인 활동이 이루어지고 있기 때문에 지진해일 발생시 피해가 클 것이라 예상된다. 이러한 지진해일 재해에 대한 방호계획이 매우 시급한 상황이므로 가장 효과적이고 경제적인 방법으로 취약지역인 연안에서 비상 대처 행동 계획을 개발해야 한다. 그럼에도 예상치 못한 지진해일 대한 피해는 계속적으로 발생되었으며, 보다 현실적인 대응 방안의 수립이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라의 강원도 주요 항만인 삼척항에 과거 지진해일 피해사례 및 지형적 특성을 통해서 고려하여 산정하고 그 지역의 지진해일 발생시 침수방지를 위한 지진해일 보호대책을 연구하고자 한다. 삼척항 인근에 위치한 정라항 입구에 게이트 설치와 배후지역에 약 1km의 방호벽과 방호문 시설이 건설됨으로써, 주민의 생명과 재산을 안전하게 보호할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

A comprehensive fractionation technique was applied to a set of water samples obtained along drinking water treatment process with ozonation and biological activated carbon (BAC) process to obtain detailed profiles of dissolved organic matter (DOM) and to evaluate the haloacetic acid (HAA) formation potentials of these DOM fractions. The results indicated that coagulation-sedimentation-sand filtration treatment showed limited ability to remove hydrophilic fraction (28%), while removal of hydrophobic and transphilic fraction were 57% and 40%, respectively. And ozonation and BAC treatment showed limited ability to remove hydrophobic fractions (6%), while removal of hydrophilic and transphilic fractions were 25% and 18%. The haloacetic acid formation potential (HAAFP)/dissolved organic carbon (DOC) of hydrophilic fraction was the highest along the treatment train and HAAFP/DOC of hydrophilic fraction was higher than hydrophobic and transphilic fraction as 23% 30%, because of better removal for hydrophobic fraction both in concentration and reactivity.

In this study we followed biofilm formation and development in a granular activated carbon (GAC) filter on pilot-scale during the 12 months of operation. GAC particles and water samples were sampled from four different depths (-5, -25, -50 and –90 cm from surface of GAC bed) and attached biomass were measured with adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP) analysis and heterotrophic plate count (HPC) method. The attached biomass accumulated rapidly on the GAC particles of top layer throughout all levels in the filter during the 160 days (BV 23,000) of operation and maintained a steady-state afterward. During steady-state, biomass (ATP and HPC) concentrations of top layer in the BAC filer were 2.1 μg·ATP/g·GAC and 3.3×108 cells/g·GAC, and 85%, 83% and 99% of the influent total biodegradable dissolved organic carbon (BDOCtotal), BDOCslow and BDOCrapid were removed, respectively. During steady-state process, biomass (ATP and HPC) concentrations of middle layer (-50 cm) and bottom layer (-90 cm) in the BAC filter were increased consistently. Biofilm development (growth rate) proceed highest rate in the top layer of filter (μATP = 0.73 day-1; μHPC = 1,74 day-1) and 78%∼87% slower in the bottom layer (μATP = 0.14 day-1; μHPC = 0.34 day-1). This study shows that the combination of different analytical methods allows detailed quantification of the microbiological activity in drinking water biofilter.

Adsorption and biodegradation performance of tetracycline antibiotic compounds such as ttetracycline (TC), oxytetracycline (OTC), minocycline (MNC), chlortetracycline (CTC), doxycycline (DXC), meclocycline (MCC), demeclocycline (DMC) on granular activated carbon (GAC) and anthracite-biofilter were evaluated in this study. Removal efficiency of seven tetracycline antibiotic compounds showed 54%∼97% by GAC adsorption process (EBCT: 5∼30 min). The orders of removal efficiency by GAC adsorption were tetracycline, demeclocycline, oxytetracycline, chlortetracycline, doxytetracycline, meclocycline and minocycline. Removal efficiencies of seven tetracycline antibiotic compounds showed 1%∼61% by anthracite biofiltration process (EBCT: 5∼30 min). The highest biodegradable tetracycline antibiotic compound was minocycline, and the worst biodegradable tetracycline antibiotic compounds were oxytetracycline and demeclocycline.

자유무역협정은 국가 또는 지역간에 교역의 장벽이 되는 관세를 폐지하는 것으로서 궁극적으로 해상운송 및 항만물동량에 영향을 미친다. 한국은 2004년 처음으로 칠레와 자유무역협정을 체결하였고 그 이후 양국간 교역이 크게 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 동 협정이 해상운송과 항만물동량에 미치는 여향을 분석한 연구는 극히 미흡하다. 이에 본 연구는 한-칠레 자유무역협정이 부산항에서 처리하는 대칠레 수입 컨테이너 물동량에 미치는 영향을 분석하는 것을 주목적으로 한다. 이를 위하여 2000년부터 2011년까지 물동량, GDP, 관세율, 해상운임 등을 포함하는 횡단면 자료와 시계열 자료가 결합된 패널자료를 수집하여 중력모형을 적용하였다. 분석 결과 GDP와 관세율은 통계적으로 유 의하게 나타났으나 해상운임 변수는 통계적 유의성과 모수 부호에 일관성을 보이지 못하였다.

신품종 ‘제서’는 제주특별자치도농업기술원 감자 육종프로 그램에 의해 육성되었다. 1999년부터 2001년 까지 ‘체세포잡 종’을 모본으로 ‘대지’를 화분친으로 하여 2회의 여교잡에 의 해 유래되었다. ‘제서’를 대상으로 2001년부터 2005년까지 괴경특성, 병 저항성, 생육 및 수량을 조사하였다. 또한 2년 동안 4개 지역에서 지역적응시험을 실시하였다. 이 품종의 괴 경특성은 원형, 얕은 눈의 깊이, 황색의 표피색과 짧은 휴면 기간을 갖고 있다. 또한 이 품종은 더뎅이병, 무름병, 및 감자 잎말림바이러스에 강한 저항성을 보였다. 그러나 감자 바이러 스 Y와 역병에는 감수성이었다. ‘제서’의 평균 수량은 2012 년 봄, 가을재배 결과 38.8 ton/ha로 ‘대지’의 수량보다 적었다.

While a range of natural organic matter (NOM) types can generate high levels of disinfection by-products (DBPs) after chlorination, there is little understanding of which specific compounds act as precursors. Use of eight model compounds allows linking of explicit properties to treatability and DBP formation potential (DBPFP). The removal of model compounds by various treatment processes and their haloacetic acid formation potential (HAAFP) before and after treatment were recorded. The model compounds comprised a range of hydrophobic (HPO) and hydrophilic (HPI) neutral and anionic compounds. On the treatment processes, an ozone oxidation process was moderate for control of model compounds, while the HPO-neutral compound was most treatable with activated carbon process. Biodegradation was successful in removing amino acids, while coagulation and ion exchange process had little effect on neutral molecules. Although compared with the HPO compounds the HPI compounds had low HAAFP the ozone oxidation and biodegradation were capable of increasing their HAAFP. In situations where neutral or HPI molecules have high DBPFP additional treatments may be required to remove recalcitrant NOM and control DBPs.

We report a double primary gastric cancer of different types seen on an endoscopy at the same time. At the first gastroscopy, Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma (LELC) appeared to be a benign submucosal tumor (SMT) and gastric adenocarcinoma was limited to the mucosa. Adenocarcinoma was removed by endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). However, a followup gastroscopy revealed an enlarged SMT, and another ESD was performed. The patient was additionally diagnosed with gastric LELC. This is the only case that LELC and gastric adenocarcinoma were found at the same time in Korea; therefore, the authors report this case with literature review.

In this study, a comprehensive field monitoring was conducted to understand habitat conditions of fish species in up and downstream of Hoengseong Dam. Based on the monitoring data, riverine health conditions such as composition ratio of fish species, bio-diversity (dominance index, diversity, evenness and richness), index of biological integrity (IBI) and qualitative habitat evaluation index (QHEI) were assessed, and optimal ecological flowrates (OEF) were estimated using the habitat suitability indexes (HSI) established for three fish species Coreoleuciscus splendidus, Pungtungia herzi and Microphysogobio longidorsalis selected as icon species using the physical habitat simulation system (PHABSIM). The total number of species sampled was 20 species, and two species of Zacco platypus (30.4%) and C. splendidus (20.9%) dominated the fish community. As a result, it was revealed that IBI and QHEI values decreased from upstream to downstream along the river. The estimated IBI value ranged from 24 to 36 with average being 30.9 out of 50, rendering the site ecologically fair to good health conditions. HSI for C. splendidus were determined according to three different month in terms of season: Spring (April), Summer (August) and Autumn (October). HSI for flow velocity were estimated at 0.7 to 0.8 m/s for the Spring, 0.5 to 1.0 m/s for the Summer and 0.8 to 0.9 m/s for the Autumn. HSI for water depth were estimated at 0.3 to 0.5 m for the Spring; 0.3 to 0.5 m for the Summer; and 0.3 to 0.4 m for the Autumn. OEF was estimated at 4.2 and 6.5 m3/s for the Spring and Autumn, and 12.0 m3/s for the Summer. Overall, it was concluded that the Hoengseong Dam has been relatively well protected from the anthropogenic disturbance for the legally protected species including the endemic species studied in this study.

The Nakdong River being used as drinking water sources for the Busan metropolitan city has the vulnerability of water management due to the fact that industrial areas are located in the upper Nakdong River. This study used emergy analysis method to evaluate ecological-economics of water treatment systems of D water treatment plant (WTP) where located in the downstream of the Nakdong River. The emergy methodology is a system evaluation tool that uses energy as the common currency to compare different resources on a common basis. Emergy yield ratio (EYR) and emergy sustainability index (EmSI) of D WTP were 1.16 and 0.18, respectively. It means not resources and sustainable system but consumer goods and not sustainable system. Ratio of emergy benefit to the purchaser (EBP) shows 2.7 times higher than economic costs. To change the weak water source and situations we need to diversity water intake.

The concentration of organic compounds was analyzed at each step of BAC process though BDOCtotal/rapid/slow. Further, bacteria communities and biomass concentrations measured FISH and ATP methods were analyzed. The bed volume (BV) of steady state is different from that of based on assessment of organic compounds removal. Bed volumes in DOC, BDOCrapid and BDOCtotal/slow removal at steady state were around 27,500 (185.8 day), 15,000 (101.4 day) and 32,000 (216.2 day), respectively. A biomass didn't change after the bed volume reached 22,500 (152.0 day) according to analyzing ATP concentration of bacteria. The concentration of ATP was 2.14 μg/g in BV 22,500 (152.0 day). The total bacterial number was 4.01±0.4×107 cells/g at the bed volume 1,150 (7.8 day) (the initial operation) and the number of bacteria was 9.27±0.2×109 at the bed volume 58,560 395.7 day) that increased more than 200 times. Bacterial uptrend was reduced and bacterial communities were stabilized since BV 18,720 (126.5 day). When BV were 1,150 (7.8 day), 8,916 (60.2 day), 18,720 (126.5 day), 31,005 (209.5 day), 49,632 (335.3 day), 58,560 (395.7 day), a proportion of total bacteria for the Eubacteria were 60.1%, 66.0%, 78.4%, 82.0%, 81.3% respectively. γ-Proteobacteria group was the most population throughout the entire range. The correlation coefficient (r2) between Eubacteria biomass and ATP concentration was 0.9448.

본 연구에서는 기후변화에 따른 수온상승이 낙동강 유역 어류 서식지에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 이를 위해 낙동강 유역에 서식하는 어종 중 22개 어종에 대한 최대내성한계온도를 산출하였으며, 이를 토대로 수온 상승에 따른 어류 서식지 및 서식지 지점별 어종 영향 정도를 분석하였다. 산정된 최대내성한계온도의 범위는 27.7～33.1℃의 범위를 나타났다. 또한 기존에 예측된 기온 상승 데이터를 이용하여, 낙동강 78개 지점에서의 2100년도까지의 수온 상승을 예측하였으며, 수온 상승 예측을 위하여 낙동강 유역 78개 각 지점에서의 기온-수온의 회귀식을 산정하였다. 그 결과 S1 기간(2011～2040년)에 평균 0.69℃, S2기간(2041～2070년)에는 평균 1.76℃, S3기간(2071～2100년)에는 평균 2.32℃의 수온이 상승되는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 수온상승에 따라 낙동강 22개 어종에 대해 S1-S3 각 기간별로 평균 21.9%, 36.3%, 51.4%의 서식처가 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다.
