In 1924, natural roack asphalt, which is called Asbuton, was found in South East Sulawesi, Buton Island, Indonesia. Since 2006, Asbuton has been widely applied on national road, provincial road and district roads not only for low volume traffic roads but also for the medium and heavy traffic roads. The use of Asbuton in Indonesian road infrastructure development is increasing because the deposits are estimated to be 677 million tons while current annual production is only approximately 20,000 tons. Asbuton mainly consist of asphalt and mineral like a Trinidad Lake Asphalt. The asphalt content of Asbuton is about 35% or less. Many researchers agreed that pure asphalt binder should be separated from its minerals of Asbuton in order for the conventional asphalt binder to be used widely and economically. Asbuton could replace the conventional asphalt binder. In this study, fundamental and reheological properties of pure asphalt binder extrcted from Asbuton are evauluated to find a possiblity to repalce it as the conventional asphalt binder. The first, pure asphalt binder extrcted from Asbuton through extraction process. Second, penetration test, softening point test, ductility test, and flash point test are conducted to measure physical properties of pure asphalt binder extrcted from Asbuton. Third, dynami shear rheometer (DSR) test, rolling thin film ovens(RTFO) test, pressure aging vessel(PAV) test, and bending beam rheometer(BBR) test are conducted to determine perfoemance grade as a reheological properties. Based on the limited laboratory test results, pure asphalt binder extrcted from would be possibly used as modified additive to improve physical properties and the performance grade at high tempertaure.

In order to study for the growth of fish in the aquaculture industry, the behavior analysis of rock bream (Oplegnathus fasciatus) depending on the temperature and LED lights was conducted. In this study, water temperatures from 10 to 30 degrees were used. One red light (wave length: 622 nm; light power: 811 mW) and one green light (wave length: 518 nm; light power: 648 mW) were used. Behavior of the rock bream was analyzed at an average moving distance for one minutes (AMD) and a rate of movement. The mean AMD were respectively 5.3 m, 7.3 m and 3.0 m in the red LED light, green LED light and control condition. The mean rates of movement were 77%, 88% and 61% respectively in the red LED light, green LED light and control condition. The mean AMD during 24 hours were 3.1 m, 3.1 m and 3.3 m respectively in the red LED light, green LED light and control condition.

제주 연안 저서생물(해조류, 무척추동물)의 군집구조가 저서 기질 형태에 따른 차이를 파악하기 위해 신흥해역에서 2015년 2월부터 11월까지 매월 조사되었다. 암반정점에서는 해조류 57종과 무척추동물 102종이 출현하였고, 몽돌정점 에서는 해조류 42종과 무척추동물 67종이 관찰되어 암반기질에서 저서생물의 출현종수가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 해조 류의 연평균 생물량은 암반정점에서 1,601.13 g wet wt./㎡으로 몽돌정점의 448.85 g wet wt./㎡보다 약 4배 높았다. 감태는 암반정점에서 전체 생물량의 62.64% (1,002.93 g/㎡)를 차지하는 우점종이었고, 몽돌정점에서는 넓은게발, 감태, 붉은뼈까막살, 자루바다표고, 갈래곰보가 우점하였다. 저서무척추동물의 개체수 및 생물량은 암반정점에서 각각 106.9 indivi./㎡, 871.93 g/㎡이며, 몽돌정점에서는 64.6 indivi./㎡, 984.28 g/㎡로 나타났다. 무척추동물의 생물량 우점종을 파악한 결과, 암반정점에서는 소라(36.40%), 바퀴고둥(19.18%), 보라성게(13.61%)였고, 몽돌정점에서는 거 품돌산호(54.13%)와 그물코돌산호(24.28%)로 기질에 따른 우점종의 차이를 확인하였다.
