세계의 많은 도시들은 하천과 항구와 함께 발전해 왔으며, 고대부터 현대까지 교통과 물류의 주요한 축으로 기능하였다. 본 연구는 한강이 가로지르는 서울을 포함하여, 세계 여러 도시에서 현재 운영되고 있는 수상교통 시스템을 조사하였고, 이를 바탕으로 설문조사 를 통해 데이터를 수집, 다항 로지스틱 회귀분석을 통해 수상교통에 대한 사람들의 인식에 영향을 미치는 요인을 알아보았다. 연구의 목적은 수상교통의 특성, 이용자의 개인적 성향 등을 고려하여 수상교통의 이용 의향 여부와 통근형과 관광형 수상교통에 대한 선호 도를 분석하는 것이다. 서울에 거주하고 근무하는 150명의 직장인을 대상으로 온라인 설문조사를 실시하였으며, 세계 각국의 도시 수 상교통에 대한 사전 조사를 통해 공통적 특성을 파악하였다. 설문조사는 인구통계학적 특성, 직업 관련 요인, 도시 수상교통에 대한 인식, 교통수단 특성의 중요성, 개인 성향 등을 조사할 수 있도록 구성하였다. 분석은 빈도분석, 요인분석, 신뢰도 분석을 거쳐 다항 로지스틱 회귀분석을 통해 각 요인의 영향을 정량적으로 파악하였다. 분석 결과, 수상교통의 이용 의향 여부에 유의미한 영향을 미치 는 요인에는 연령, 출근 시간, 출근 시 주 교통수단, 그리고 개인 성향 중 이동 시 넓은 시야를 확보하고 풍경을 관람하는 것을 선호 하는 성향, 새로운 것을 시도하는 것을 좋아하는 성향이 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 통근형과 관광형 간의 선호도에 유의미한 영향을 미 치는 요인으로는 출근 시간과, 개인 성향 중 교통수단의 안전성에 대한 민감도, 여행 중 야외 활동에 대한 선호도가 있는 것으로 분석 되었다. 본 연구는 도시 수상교통에 대한 이용자 특성과 선호도 간의 관계를 파악하여 향후 수상 공간의 교통수단 계획에 기여할 수 있는 통찰을 제공한다.

시멘트 모르타르 및 콘크리트 구조물은 물의 침투로 인한 열화현상으로 인해 외관 손상 및 내구성 저하를 유발할 수 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 본 연구는 위해 소수성 혼화재료를 혼입하여 방수 성능을 개선한 모르타르를 개발하고 역학적 성능을 분석하고자 하 였다. 소수성 혼화재료로써 스테아레이트산을 기반한 재료들을 혼입하였으며 역학적 성능 분석을 위해 압축강도, 휨강도, 물의 접촉각 시험, 모세관 흡수 시험을 진행하였다. 발수성 혼화재료를 혼입하였을 때 압축강도 및 휨강도는 OPC(Ordinary Portland Cement) 비교군 보다 상대적으로 낮게 측정되었으나 급속염소이온침투저항성과 모세관 흡수 저항성이 증가하여 우수한 방수 성능을 나타내었다. 이러 한 결과는 모르타르의 방수 성능을 개선하여 건물 외곽 또는 건설재료에서 방수코팅 등으로써 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Ethylene-responsive factors (ERFs) are important plant transcription factors (TFs) that regulate plant responses against various abiotic stresses. However, little information of ERF genes involved in abiotic stress is available in petunia (Petunia ×hybrida). In this study, a petunia ERF gene, PhERF039, was cloned and functional analysis was performed. The quantitative PCR analysis revealed that PhERF039 was induced at the early stage of water deficit stress. Under-expression of PhERF039 (UE) exhibited rosette growth habit, higher number of branches, and delayed flowering compared to the wild type (WT). The UE petunia was evaluated under various volumetric water contents (θ): 0.25, 0.15, 0.10, or 0.05 m3·m-3 using an automated irrigation system. Transgenic plants did not delay plant wilting, but the θ for UE reached to the set point later than that for WT. A lower stomatal conductance was observed in UE than WT under all treatments. These results suggested that PhERF039 could be involved in plant responses under water deficit by regulating stomatal movements as well as branching pattern and flower development.

In this paper, we covered the basic design process of water-cooled cabinets and studied how to determine the target performance of heat exchanger design, which is essential in water-cooled cabinet design. A theoretical method was presented to set the target efficiency of the heat exchanger, and the pressure drop of air passing through the heat exchanger was predicted analytically. A cabinet-level thermal analysis was performed using the target efficiency and pressure drop data of the heat exchanger. The accuracy of the theoretical method was judged by comparing the theoretically predicted operating environment of the internal equipment with the analytically predicted operating environment of the internal equipment.

From 2020, Korean Animal and Plant Quarantine Agency has reset the withdrawal time (WT) for veterinary drugs typically used in livestock in preparation for the introduction of positive list system (PLS) program in 2024. This study was conducted to reset the MRL for tiamulin (TML) in broiler chickens as a part of PLS program introduction. Forty-eight healthy Ross broiler chickens were orally administered with TML at the concentration of 25 g/L (TML-1, n=24) and 50 g/L (TML-2, n=24) for 5 days through drinking water, respectively. After the drug treatment, tissue samples were collected from six broiler chickens at 1, 2, 3 and 5 days, respectively. According to the previously established analysis method, residual TML concentrations in poultry tissues were determined using LC-MS/MS. In TML-1, TML in all tissues was detected less than LOQ at 2 days after drug treatment. In TML-2, TML in liver and kidney was detected more than LOQ at 2 days after treatment. According to the European Medicines Agency’s guideline on determination of withdrawal periods, withdrawal periods of TML-1 and TML-2 in poultry tissues were established to 0 and 2 days, respectively. In conclusion, the estimated WT of TML in poultry tissues is shorter than the current WT recommendation of 5 days for TML in broiler chickens.

This study utilizes association rule learning and clustering analysis to explore the co-occurrence and relationships within ecosystems, focusing on the endangered brackish-water snail Clithon retropictum, classified as Class II endangered wildlife in Korea. The goal is to analyze co-occurrence patterns between brackish-water snails and other species to better understand their roles within the ecosystem. By examining co-occurrence patterns and relationships among species in large datasets, association rule learning aids in identifying significant relationships. Meanwhile, K-means and hierarchical clustering analyses are employed to assess ecological similarities and differences among species, facilitating their classification based on ecological characteristics. The findings reveal a significant level of relationship and co-occurrence between brackish-water snails and other species. This research underscores the importance of understanding these relationships for the conservation of endangered species like C. retropictum and for developing effective ecosystem management strategies. By emphasizing the role of a data-driven approach, this study contributes to advancing our knowledge on biodiversity conservation and ecosystem health, proposing new directions for future research in ecosystem management and conservation strategies.

본 연구는 8월에 한반도를 우회하며 동해상으로 빠져나간 2018년 제 19호 태풍 Soulik과 서해상으로 북진하여 통과한 2020년 제 8호 태풍 Bavi을 통해 태풍 유입 전‧후에 따른 한반도 해역별 수온 변동성을 분석하였다. 분석자료는 국립수산과학원 실시간 수온 자료와 수온관측소 근처 AWS의 바람자료 및 NOAA/AVHRR 위성 수온자료를 활용하였다. 분석 결과 이동경로가 다른 태풍이 한반도를 통과할때 동해에서는 풍속과 풍향에 따라 수온의 상승(북풍)과 하강(남풍)이 반복적으로 발생하였는데 특히 태풍 Soulik 유입 시 10 ℃ 안팎의 급격 한 수온 하강을 보였다. 서해는 태풍 Bavi의 중심부가 통과되면서 서해 일부 해역에서 수온이 상승되었고, 차가운 물덩어리가 존재했던 남 해 일부 해역에서도 태풍 Bavi의 이동으로 따뜻한 수온이 유입되어 평년 수온으로 회복된 것으로 나타났다. 또한 태풍 유입시 서해와 남해 는 지형적‧환경적 조건으로 인해 각 해역별 특성에 맞게 수온 변동이 다르게 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 태풍으로 인한 한반도 해역별 수 온 변동을 해석함으로써 이상기후에 따른 양식 생물의 부정적인 영향을 최소화하고 해역별 수산재해의 피해대응 전략을 수립하는데 기여 할 것으로 사료된다.

Organoleptic parameters such as color, odor, and flavor influence consumer perception of drinking water quality. This study aims to evaluate the taste of the selected bottled and tap water samples using an electronic tongue (E-tongue) instead of a sensory test. Bottled and tap water's mineral components are related to the overall preference for water taste. Contrary to the sensory test, the potentiometric E-tongue method presented in this study distinguishes taste by measuring the mineral components in water, and the data obtained can be statistically analyzed. Eleven bottled water products from various brands and one tap water from I city in Korea were evaluated. The E-tongue data were statistically analyzed using multivariate statistical tools such as hierarchical clustering analysis (HCA), principal component analysis (PCA), and partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA). The results show that the E-tongue method can clearly distinguish taste discrimination in drinking water differing in water quality based on the ion-related water quality parameters. The water quality parameters that affect taste discrimination were found to be total dissolved solids (TDS), sodium (Na+), calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+), sulfate (SO4 2-), chloride (Cl-), potassium (K+) and pH. The distance calculation of HCA was used to quantify the differences between 12 different types of drinking water. The proposed E-tongue method is a practical tool to quantitatively evaluate the differences between samples in water quality items related to the ionic components. It can be helpful in quality control of drinking water.

Recently, the International Maritime Organization is strengthening regulations for ships operating in polar regions. Hence, insulated multi-core tubes as components for vessels operating in extreme cold need to be investigated in various aspects. Furthermore, the demand for research on electric propulsion vessels is also increasingly growing. Thus, to utilize a 4-core insulated multi-core tube with glass wool as insulation, which was previously developed for ships operating in polar regions, as a water-cooled electrical cable, this study conducted an experiment on the temperature change when water at normal temperature 25℃ was supplied as a coolant under the overcurrent varied from 10A to 25A. As a result, the temperature increase of the core in 10A condition was 3.3℃, but it increased to 13.05℃ in the 25A condition. This showed that a temperature difference of approximately 9.75℃ occurred according to the overcurrent load. However, the coolant inlet and outlet temperatures were relatively uniform around 1℃ in all conditions. This suggests that increasing the residence time by proper control of the coolant flow in the future could achieve a higher cooling effect.

In light of recent social concerns related to issues such as water supply pipe deterioration leading to problems like leaks and degraded water quality, the significance of maintenance efforts to enhance water source quality and ensure a stable water supply has grown substantially. In this study, scan statistic was applied to analyze water quality complaints and water leakage accidents from 2015 to 2021 to present a reasonable method to identify areas requiring improvement in water management. SaTScan, a spatio-temporal statistical analysis program, and ArcGIS were used for spatial information analysis, and clusters with high relative risk (RR) were determined using the maximum log-likelihood ratio, relative risk, and Monte Carlo hypothesis test for I city, the target area. Specifically, in the case of water quality complaints, the analysis results were compared by distinguishing cases occurring before and after the onset of "red water." The period between 2015 and 2019 revealed that preceding the occurrence of red water, the leak cluster at location L2 posed a significantly higher risk (RR: 2.45) than other regions. As for water quality complaints, cluster C2 exhibited a notably elevated RR (RR: 2.21) and appeared concentrated in areas D and S, respectively. On the other hand, post-red water incidents of water quality complaints were predominantly concentrated in area S. The analysis found that the locations of complaint clusters were similar to those of red water incidents. Of these, cluster C7 exhibited a substantial RR of 4.58, signifying more than a twofold increase compared to pre-incident levels. A kernel density map analysis was performed using GIS to identify priority areas for waterworks management based on the central location of clusters and complaint cluster RR data.

This study investigated ethopabate (EPB) residues in edible tissues of broiler chickens given in drinking water and established the withdrawal time (WT) of EPB in poultry tissues. Twenty-four healthy Ross broiler chickens were orally administered with EPB at the concentration of 3.8 mg/L for 14 days (EPB-1, n=24) and 15.2 mg/L for 7 days (EPB-2, n=24) through drinking water, respectively. After the drug treatment, tissue samples were collected from six broiler chickens at 0, 1, 3, and 5 days, respectively. EPB residue concentrations in poultry tissues were determined using LC-MS/MS. Correlation coefficient values ranged from 0.9980 to 0.9998, and the limits of detection and quantification (LOQ) were 0.03~0.09 and 0.1~0.3 μg/kg, respectively. Mean recoveries in muscle, liver, kidney and skin/fat tissues were 95.9~109.8, 108.7~115.3, 89.9~96.6 and 86.7~96.8%, respectively, and coefficient of variations were less than 17.11%. At the end of the drug-administration period (0 day), EPB was detected at levels under the LOQ in all tissues from both the EPB-1 and EPB-2 groups. According to the results of EPB residue in Ross broiler tissues, withdrawal periods of both EPB-1 and EPB-2 in poultry tissues were established to 0 day. In conclusion, the developed analytical method is suitable for the detection of EPB in poultry tissues, and the estimated WT of EPB in poultry tissues will contribute to ensuring the safety of Ross broiler chickens.

From 2020, Korean Animal and Plant Quarantine Agency has reset the withdrawal time (WT) for veterinary drugs typically used in livestock in preparation for the introduction of positive list system (PLS) program in 2024. This study was conducted to reset the MRL for amprolium (APL) in broiler chickens as a part of PLS program introduction. Forty-eight healthy Ross broiler chickens were orally administered with APL at the concentration of 60 mg/L (APL-1, n=24) for 14 days and 240 mg/L (APL-2, n=24) for 7 days through drinking water, respectively. After the drug treatment, tissue samples were collected from six broiler chickens at 0, 1, 3 and 5 days, respectively. Residual APL concentrations in poultry tissues were determined using LC-MS/MS. Correlation coefficient (0.99 >), the limits quantification (LOQ, 0.3~5.0 μg/kg), recoveries (81.5~112.4%), and coefficient of variations (<15.5%) were satisfied the validation criteria of Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety. In APL-1, APL in all tissues except for kidney was detected less than LOQ at 3 days after drug treatment. In APL-2, APL in liver and kidney was detected more than LOQ at 5 days after treatment. According to the European Medicines Agency’s guideline on determination of withdrawal periods, withdrawal periods of APL-1 and APL-2 in poultry tissues were established to 3 and 2 days, respectively. In conclusion, the developed analytical method is sensitive and reliable for detecting APL in poultry tissues. The estimated WT of APL in poultry tissues is longer than the current WT recommendation of 2 days for APL in broiler chickens.

새만금호는 우리나라 최대의 인공호수로 호수의 수질은 갈수록 악화되어 가고 있어 호수의 특성에 맞는 새로운 수질관리 대 책이 필요하다. 이에 새만금호의 국가수질측정망 자료를 이용하여 통계분석 기법에 의한 새만금호의 시공간적 수질특성을 분석하였다. 수질항목간의 상관성에서 수온과 TP는 상관성이 있고, 염분과 TN, 그리고 pH와 COD가 상관성이 높았다. 그 외 항목들 간에는 낮은 상관 성을 나타내어 관련성이 낮았다. 주성분 분석을 이용한 새만금호의 공간적 수질특성을 보면, 크게 4개의 그룹으로 구분되었는데, 담수 영 향구역과 해수 영향구역, 해수와 담수가 혼합되는 중간 수역이 2개 그룹으로 구분되어 각각 다른 수질특성을 나타내었다. 주성분분석을 이용한 시간적 수질특성은 계절적으로 4가지 그룹으로 구분되었다. 그룹Ⅰ은 늦봄과 초여름에 해당되는 5, 6월이고, 그룹 Ⅱ는 계절적으 로 초봄(3, 4월)과 늦가을(11, 12월)에 해당되는 시기로 나타났으며, 그룹 Ⅲ은 낮은 수온에 의한 용존산소의 증가가 나타나는 계절인 겨울 철(1, 2월)의 수질 특성을 보였고, 그룹 Ⅳ는 하계(7, 8, 9, 10월) 성층의 발달로 저층 퇴적물의 높은 인농도와 하계 고수온의 상관성을 가지 는 그룹으로 구분되었다. 이는 새만금호가 인위적으로 조성된 호수로써 상류 만경강과 동진강의 유입 영향을 받는 것과 동시에 새만금 방조제에 설치된 가력과 신시갑문을 통한 외해수 유입의 영향을 받음으로써 수질의 변동요소가 달라진 것으로 평가된다. 새만금호의 목 표수질을 달성하기 위해서는 상류 유역의 오염원 관리 대책과 함께 새만금호의 수질관리 대책을 수립할 필요가 있다.
