오늘날 해안의 인구 증가와 산업화로 인하여 해안의 수질오염이 날로 증가하고 있으며, 이로 인한 생태계가 파괴됨으로써 수산물 양식업에 많은 문제를 발생시키고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 해상 양식장이 육상 양식장으로 이동하고 있다. 본 논문은 육상 양식장에서의 자동 먹이 공급 시스템에 관하여 설명하고자 한다. 현재의 자동 먹이 공급 장치는 먹이양의 정확도가 떨어지고 먹이 공급 모터에 의해 먹이가 부서지는 단점을 지닌다. 그러나 제안하는 시스템은 현재의 시스템과 비교했을 때 로드 셀과 밸브의 조합을 사용하여 제어함으로써 높은 정확도를 가지고 먹이를 공급할 수 있으며, 먹이를 육상 양식 수조에 안전하게 공급할 수 있다. 실제 시스템을 통한 실험을 수행함으로써 모든 상황에서 육상 양식장 수조에 먹이를 공급할 수 있음을 입증한다.

Road and maritime transport which connecting main cities in the world is already fully saturated, and the loss cost caused by recent high oil prices is getting bigger. Transportation by inland waterway is rising as an alternative method of them. Concerning this, the GI Waterway is on construction to connect the Yellow sea and Seoul. Nevertheless, there are no existing aids to navigation around the area and no studies have been carried out for them. As the construction progresses, installation of proper aids to navigation should be considered and profound studies need to be carried out. This study focused on introduction of the cases and the systems of other countries inland waterway aids to navigation and suggested a suitable navigation aids system along the inland waterways in Korea and a way of installation for that system.

The chemical and meteorological effects on the concentration variations of air pollutants (O3 and its precursors) were evaluated based on ground observation data in coastal and inland regions, Busan during springs and summers of 2005-2006. For the purpose of this study, study areas were classified into 5 categories: coastal area (CA), industrial area (IA), downtown area (DA), residential area (RA), and suburban area (SA). Two sites of Dongsam (DS) and Yeonsan (YS) were selected for the comparison purpose between the coastal and inland regions. O3 concentrations in CA and SA were observed to be highest during spring (e.g., 40 ppb), whereas those in DA and RA were relatively low during summer (e.g., 22～24 ppb). It was found that O3 concentrations in IA were not significantly high although high VOCs (especially toluene of about 40 ppb) and NOx (≥ 35 ppb) were observed. On the other hand, the concentration levels of O3 and PM10 at the DS site were significantly higher than those at the YS site, but NOx was slightly lower than that at the YS site. This might be caused by the photochemical activity and meteorological conditions (e.g., sea-land breeze and atmospheric stagnance). When maximum O3 (an index of photochemical activity) exceeds 100 ppb, the contribution of secondary PM10 ((PM10)SEC) to total observed PM10 concentrations was estimated up to 32% and 17% at the DS and YS sites, respectively. In addition, the diurnal variations of (PM10)SEC at the DS site were similar to those of O3 regardless of season, which suggests that they are mostly secondary PM10 produced from photochemical reactions.

This study was conducted to evaluate the status of habitat distribution, environmental characteristics and plant species growing with Lonicera japonica in its habitats. In the distribution of plant coverage below 30%, it was 84.6% in the inland area and 80.7% in the seashore area. There was similar coverage in both inland and seashore areas. But the average relative coverage in the seashore area was 26.1%, which is a little higher than that of the inland area (22.5%). In the habitats, both inland and seashore areas showed a high distribution ratio below 10 degrees. But among them, inland areas showed a high distribution ratio (62.4%) below 10 degrees, which was about twice as much as the seashore areas (32.2%). Habitat distribution was most often found on the southern slopes in both inland and seashore areas. The average soil pH of Lonicera japonica habitat was 5.2 in the inland areas and 6.9 in the seashore areas. Also, the seashore areas showed little content of P2O5, but high content of K, Mg, Na on the other hand compared to the inland area. Miscanthus sinensis was the highest importance value (16.4) among plants growing with Lonicera japonica in their habitats in both inland and seashore areas. But in the inland areas, Artemisia princeps showed the highest importance value, and Miscanthus sinensis was the highest in the seashore areas.
