2000년 삼척산불지역의 복원유형별 식생구조와 종다양도를 파악하여 복원의 효과를 정략적으로 평가하고자 영구조사지를 대상으로 매목조사와 군집분류를 수행하였다. 조사구 26개소를 대상으로 이원지표종분석(TWINSPAN)과 DCA분석을 통해 분류한 결과, 소나무 군집(군집Ⅰ), 신갈나무 군집(군집 Ⅱ) 및 굴참나무 군집(군집 Ⅲ)으로 분류되었다. 군집별 상대우점치 분석 결과, 군집 I은 혼효림으로서 천이가 예상되며, 군집 II는 신갈나무 군집으로 군집 Ⅲ은 굴참나무 군집을 유지할 것으로 예상된다. 군집 간 유사도지수는 49.46% ∼ 70.69%이며, 종다양도지수는 1.5441 ∼ 1.7924로 나타났다. 인공복원지와 자연복원지(잔족목 제외)간 생장은 거의 유사한 편이나, 굴참나무의 경우 수고는 자연복원에서 직경은 인공복원에서 생장이 원활한 것을 확인하였다. 자연복원과 인공복원간의 생장의 큰 차이를 보이지 않으므로, 종자재생과 맹아재생간의 경쟁을 통한 자연복원과 지속적 관리를 통한 인공복원 중 대상지에 적합한 복원 방향을 설정하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 서식 환경에 따라 구분된 3화기 미국흰불나방(Hyphantria cunea Drury)을 숙주로 하는 기생파리의 종과 기생률의 차이를 확인했다. 조사 기간은 2023년 10월 24일부터 29일까지로, 방제를 실시한 서천군 국립생태 원과 방제를 실시하지 않은 군산시 근린공원에서 숙주인 미국흰불나방의 유충을 채집하였다. 유충은 기주식물 인 수국을 급여하여 실내 개별 사육하였다. 각 조사지에서 미국흰불나방의 기주식물은 국립생태원에서 8종, 근린공원에서 6종이 확인되었다. 총 숙주 380마리 중 기생파리는 106개체로 총 27.9%의 기생률을 보였고(유충 92개체, 미동정 알 14개체), 기생률은 근린공원이(39.6%) 국립생태원(12.5%)보다 더 높았다. 성충의 우화율은 63.0%로, 동정 결과 4속 92개체가 나타났다. 전체 종과 가장 많은 개체가 확인된 Exorista japonica (Townsend, 1909)의 조사지에 따른 유충 생존율과 성충 우화율은 모두 근린공원이 더 높은 것으로 확인 되었다. 조사결과 E. japonica가 미국흰불나방의 생물적 방제제로 유효할 것이라 판단되며, 근린공원에서의 더 높은 기생파리 유충 생존율과 성충 우화율을 통해 인간에 의한 교란이 적은 환경에서 기생파리를 이용한 미국흰불나방 방제가 더 효과적일 것이라고 고려된다. 또한 숙주의 생존율과 기생파리의 우화율을 비교한 결과 해충 방제가 이뤄지지 않는 환경에서 천적 개체군이 유지될 가능성이 더 높다고 사료 된다.

Lactuca scariola L. is one of ecosystem-disturbance plants that grow everywhere such as roadsides, grasslands, railroads, banks, and fields. L. scariola usually occurs in autumn. It overwinters in rosette form. It flowers and produces seeds in early summer of the next year. Seeds of L. scariola can germinate immediately without dormancy when the temperature is over 20°C. Due to endogenous bacteria in seeds of L. scariola, it has a strong drought tolerance. Thus, it can grow well on roadsides. L. scariola should be controlled as it can result in 60-80% of soybean yield loss at densities above 50 plants m-2. It is advisable to remove L. scariola as it competes with native plants by acting as a pioneer to other ecosystem-disturbance plants. Among various control methods, chemical control is the most effective method that is widely used. Soil treatment with herbicides such as oxyfluorfen EC and pendimethalin EC can inhibit the development of L. scariola. Foliar treatment herbicides glyphosate and glufosinateammonium are widely used. L. scariola is resistant to 2,4-D, dicamba, and MCPA among foliar treatment herbicides. Thus, it is recommended to apply herbicides with different modes of action.

This paper describes the design of H-infinity controller for robust control of a DC motor system. The suggested controller can ensure robustness against disturbance and model uncertainty by minimizing H-infinity norm of the transfer function from exogenous input to performance output and applying the small gain theorem. In particular, the controller was designed to reduce the effects of disturbance and model uncertainty simultaneously by formalizing these problems as a mixed sensitivity problem. The validity of the proposed controller was demonstrated by computer simulations and real experiments. Moreover, the effectiveness of the proposed controller was confirmed by comparing its performance with PI controller, which was tested under the same experimental condition as the H-infinity controller.

Post-disturbance recovery pattern of subtidal soft corals-macroalgae mixed community and the role of water depth were investigated. The experiment was conducted in a subtidal rock wall of Munseom, Jeju Island, Korea for 2.5 years. Artificial disturbance was done at established treatment plots at depths of 10, 15 and 20 m and were then compared with undisturbed control plots. After disturbance, recovery of soft corals was very slow, whereas macroalgae quickly occupied the plots and reached a similar level as the control in 6 months, and this pattern was consistent at all water depths. This unbalanced speed of recovery caused higher macroalgae establishment than soft corals in treatment compared to control plots, indicating a possible phase shift in the community structure. This study provides an important implication for the necessity of monitoring the influence of disturbance at a larger scale, from a conservation perspective of soft corals in Jeju coast.

Pollution of agricultural soil by alkaline salts, such as Na2CO3, is a critical and long-lasting problem in cultivable land. The aim of the study was to examine the putative role of citric acid (CA) in alleviating Na2CO3-stress in alfalfa. In this study, Na2CO3 significantly induced leaf chlorosis, inhibited plant growth and photosynthesis related parameters, increased hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and reduced major antioxidant enzymes (SOD ,CAD, APX) in alfalfa. However, the presence of CA these negative effects of Na2CO3-stress largely recovered. Interestingly, expression of antioxidant and ion transporter genes (Fe-SOD, CAT, APX, DHAR and NHX1) involved in Reactive oxygen species (ROS) homeostasis and oxidative stress tolerance in alfalfa. These findings suggest that CA-mediated Na2CO3 stress alleviation is an ecofriendly approach that would be useful to local farmer for alfalfa and other forage crop cultivation in alkaline soils.

This paper deals with the disturbance observer (DOB) based sliding mode control (SMC) for a DC motor to control motor rotating speed precisely and to ensure strong robustness against disturbance including load torque and parameter variation. The reason of steady state error in speed on conventional SMC without DOB is analyzed in detail. Especially, the suggested DOB is designed to prevent measuring noise and harmonics caused by derivative operation on rotating speed. The control performance of the DOB based SMC is evaluated by the various simulations. The simulation results showed that the DOB based SMC had more robust performance than the SMC system without DOB. Especially, precise speed control was possible even though motor parameter variation and load torque was added to the system.

Nicotine is a component of tobacco products and is one of the most commonly abused substances that leads to addiction. Therefore, the present study was performed to investigate the behavioral pattern and toxicity by nicotine exposure in planarians. Basically, planarians were exposed to different concentration of nicotine for 5 min. To investigate detoxification effect, planarians were exposed to nicotine for 5 min, and treated glycyrrhizin for 5 min, then motility and seizure-like behavior were observed for 5 min. As a result, the motility of nicotine-exposed planarians decreased approximately more than 50% compared to freshwater control. However, the motility of glycyrrhizin-exposed planarians recovered than nicotineexposed planarians. In the assessment of seizure-like behavioral pattern, planarians exposed to nicotine showed head-bop or c-like type rather than screw-like or snake-like patterns. However, planarians exposed to glycyrrhizin showed no seizure-like behavior. To examine the oxidative stress response, planarians were cultured in fresh water containing 1 mM nicotine for 1 day. Planarians were homogenized and extracted to assay the contents of reactive oxygen species (ROS), lipid hydroperoxides (LH), glutathione (GSH), catalase (CAT), and superoxide dismutase (SOD). The result showed that a significantly higher level of ROS, LH indicated in planarians exposed to nicotine, on the other hand, glycyrrhizin-exposed planarians were significantly decreased ROS, LH levels. In conclusion, the motility decreased when planarians were exposed to nicotine, in a dose-dependent manner, whereas seizurelike behavior increased. Nicotine induced behavioral disturbances and cell toxicity in planarians were recovered by glycyrrhizin, suggesting a candidate substance for nicotine addiction treatment.

The Korean aquaculture industry was generally began in the 1970s and has gradually increased. Now, the number of households is about 7,068 and the scale of an aquaculture farm is about 248,014 ha; the value of all production in the industry is estimated to be about 1602.2 billion won. The aquaculture industry is very valuable and important for future food resources. However, the aquaculture industry was damaged by several marine ecological disturbance causing organisms. The Ascdiella aspersa colonized on the shell of scallop and then scallops were detached from rope. The patterns of damage in the aquacultures were observed in Tongyeong (oyster), Geojedo (oyster), and Gangneung (sea squirt) in June, 2017, as well as in Tongyeong (oyster) in November, 2017 by SCUBA divers. The species Halichondria bowerbanki, Bugula neritina, Mytilus galloprovincialis, Balanus amphitrite, Ascidiella aspersa, Ciona intestinalis, Didemnum sp, Styela plicata in Tongyeong, M. galloprovincialis, A. aspersa, C. intestinalis, D. vexillum, S. plicata in Geojedo, and M. galloprovincialis in Gangneung were all usually found in their farms. The marine ecological disturbance causing organisms gave rise to a reduced number of aquaculture products.

월동기간 동안 월동조류의 생리 및 영양학적 상태는 이후 번식지로의 이동성공과 번식성공에 영향을 줄 수 있음은 잘 알려져 있다. 그러나 환경적 요인들이 월동기간 동안 어떻게 몸 상태에 영향을 주어 장기적으로 이동과 번식에 영향을 주는지에 대해서는 아직까지 잘 알려져 있지 않다. 본 연구는 월동기간 동안 온도변화와 월동지에서의 인간 활동에 따른 방해가 개체수준에서의 월동하는 조류의 생활사에 미치는 영향과 번식지로의 이동 및 잠재적 번식 성공에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 동적상태의존 월동 생활사 모델을 개발하였다. 모델에 사용된 지수는 월동개체군에 대한 연구가 잘 수행되어 있는 철원의 두루미 자료를 이용하였다. 모델은 온도 변화나 인간의 방해요인의 영향이 생존과 번식지로의 이동을 위한 에너지 축적 그리고 누적된 스트레스의 감소를 위한 자원 분배에 영향을 주는 것으로 예측하였다. 특히 월동지에 도래한 두루미 몸무게의 회복률은 기온변화가 적고 방해요인의 영향이 낮을수록 빨랐으며, 체내의 누적 스트레스는 기온변화가 크고 방해요인의 영향이 높을수록 회복속도가 낮을 것으로 예측되었다. 또한 월동지의 취식지를 공유하는 다른 종의 밀도가 높을수록 두루미의 몸무게 회복률이 낮은 것으로 예측되었다. 끝으로 모델의 예측된 결과를 통해 월동지에서의 월동조류 보전전략에 대해 고찰하였다.

Stream ecosystems are closely related to many human activities. Therefore, streams are affected by anthropogenic disturbances such as riverine development and gravel-mining as well as deterioration of water quality. The goal of this study was to elucidate the recolonization process of the macroinvertebrate community after a small-scale anthropogenic disturbance. Field studies were conducted at three sites in a natural stream. The number of recolonizing species tended to increase slightly over time, exceeding the total species number of the control. Ephemeroptera contributed the most to shaping the recolonizing pattern of the entire community. From the result of changes in dominant species, the early recolonizers of each site were the species that showed more frequent occurrence particulary at each sites. But the late recolonizers are Chironomidae at all the sites commonly. This result implies that the actual differences exist among the recolonizing trends of each benthic macroinvertebrate taxon. Collector-gatherers and scrapers comprised about 70% of the recolonizing species. These results indicate that the recolonizing process of an aquatic community after an artificial disturbance depends on the environmental conditions(particularly substratum composition or organic pollution) of the habitat.

Intermediate disturbance hypothesis is one of important hypotheses for presenting the diversity patterns under disturbances. To investigate the diversity patterns of benthic macroinvertebrate communities under various disturbances, we collected macroinvertebrates in 47 sites representing various habitat types as well as pollution gradients in Southeastern Korea in summer and winter. Environmental variables such as depth, velocity, substrate and conductivity, and biological water quality indices (e.g., BWMP) were measured to show the intensity of disturbance in each site. Species abundance distributions (SADs) which are one of the efficient ways to assess community structure states based on macroecology were also considered to represent the pollution status based on the community patterns along an established pollution gradient. The community patterns were broadly divided into log-normal distribution and geometric series groups according to SAD models with weak and strong disturbance, respectively. According to the application of physicochemical water quality variable (conductivity), the gradient of community indices showed higher values on the intermediate disturbance state. Higher values of community indices, however, were presented on the low disturbance state with the gradient from BMWP. The parameters of SAD models, log-normal distribution, γ, and geometric series, k, were additionally calculated and compared with the traditional community indices.

Distribution of aquatic organisms is governed by various environmental factors Hydromorphological characteristics which are heavily affected by heavy rains in stream are one of the fundamental factors to influence the distribution of aquatic organisms. In this study we evaluated the difference response of two aquatic species Chironomus yoshimatisui and Limnodrilus hoffmesteri habiting to changes of discharge due to heavy rains. We compared the differences in their resilience and recover to disturbances. Our results showed that after a heavy rain during the sampling periods, the proportion of macrosubstrate highly increased and was not recovered into the previous states. Nonmetric Multi-dimensional scaling based on Chironomidae and Oligochaeta biota well represented annual and seasonal differences with heavy rain effects. Random forest model showed that the abundance of C. yoshimatisui were mainly influenced by microsubstrate, precipitation and Reynolds number, whereas stream roughness, mesosubstrate and macrosubstrate much more influenced the abundance of L. hoffmesteri.

Smart Door(SD) is a human friendly power-assisted door system for passenger car doors. It offers comfort and safety to passengers and drivers by supplying additional power. In this study, dynamic system model and the equation of motion derivation are derived. And we propose the disturbance observer based collision detection algorithm for safety when opening the door. A disturbance caused by collision has a fast response compared to a friction, uncertainties and so on. The main idea this study is to estimate a variation of disturbance for stably and effectively detecting a collision. In order to evaluate a performance of collision detection, an experiment set up is constructed. The experimental results validate the usefulness of the proposed collision detection algorithm.
