A single-stage deammonification with a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) that simultaneous nitritation, anaerobic ammonia oxidation (anammox), and denitrification (SNAD) occur in one reactor has been widely applied for sidestream of wastewater treatment plant. For the stable and well-balanced SNAD, a feeding strategy of influent wastewater is one of the most important operating factors in the single-stage deammonification SBR. In this study, single-stage deammonification SBR (working volume 30L) was operated to treat a high-strength ammonium wastewater (1200 mg NH₄⁺-N/L) with different feeding strategies (single feeding and nine-step feeding) under the condition without COD. Each cycle of the step feeding involved 6 sub-cycles consisted of aerobic and anoxic periods for partial nitritation (PN) and anammox, respectively. Contrary to unstable performance in the single feeding, the step feeding showed better deammonification performance (0.565 kg-N/m³/day). Under the condition with COD, however, the nitrogen removal rate (NRR) decreased to 0.403 kg-N/m³/day when the Nine-step feeding strategies had an additional denitrification period before sub-cycles for PN and anammox. The NRR was recovered to 0.518 kg-N/m³/day by introducing an enhanced multiple-step feeding strategy. The strategy had 50 cycles consisted of feed, denitrification, PN, and anammox, instead of repeated sub-cycles for PN and anammox. The multiple-step feeding strategy without sub-cycle showed the most stable and excellent deammonification performance: high nitrogen removal efficiency (98.6%), COD removal rate (0.131 kg-COD/m³/day), and COD removal efficiency (78.8%). This seemed to be caused by that the elimination of the sub-cycles might reduce COD oxidation during aerobic condition but increase the COD utilization for denitrification period. In addition, among various sensor values, the ORP pattern appeared to be applicable to monitor and control each reaction step for deammonification in the multiple-step feeding strategy without sub-cycle. Further study to optimize the number of multiple-step feeding is still needed but these results show that the multiple-step feeding strategy can contribute to a well-balanced SNAD for deammonification when treating high-strength ammonium wastewater with COD in the single-stage deammonification SBR.

1997년 3월에 대구광역시 동구 미대동 삼마산(333 m)의 일부 지소에 산불이 발생하여 약 6 ha의 소나무림과 임상식생이 전소되어 산화 당년에 벌목되었고 그 이듬해에 잣나무를 조림하였다. 산화 2년째인 1998년 4월에서 10월까지 산화지와 대조구인 비산화지를 선정하여 산화지의 효율적인 관리를 위한 기초자료를 제공하기 위해 식생조사와 토양조사를 실시하였다. 산화지에서는 총 43종류, 비산화지에는 총35종류의 식물이 출현하였으며, 적산우점도(SDR₃)는 산화지에서 참싸리(96.87), 졸참나무(77.90), 방동사니(46.22), 억새(38.33), 칡(36.84) 순이고, 비산화지에서 교목층은 소나무(100.00), 굴참나무(66.10), 개암나무(31.36)순, 관목층은 졸참나무(100.00), 산초나무(64.89), 참싸리(21.60)순, 초본층은 졸참나무(76.30), 억새(72.84), 산거울(64.89) 순으로 나타났다. 출현한 식물의 생활형은 산화지는 Th-D₁-R/sub 5/-e형, 비산화지는 H(M)-D₁-R/sub 5/-e형으로 나타났다. 두 지소간 유사도지수는 0.41이었고, 천이도(DS)는 산화지 609, 비산화지 1168, 종다양성지수(H)는 산화지 2.499, 비산화지 2.807, 균등성지수(e)는 산화지 0.664, 비산화지 0.789, 우점도지수(C)는 산화지 0.155, 비산화지 0.099이었다. 토양성분은 산화지에서는 pH, NO₃/sup -/-N함량, 유효인산, 치환성 양이온 K/sup +/, Ca/sup 2+/, Na/sup +/, Mg/sup 2+/이 비산화지보다 더 높은 값을 보였고, 유기물함량, 총탄소함량, 총질소함량, NH₄/sup +/-N함량은 비산화지보다 더 낮은 값을 보였다. 이상의 결과로 보아 본 조사지에서 산화지의 식생천이양상은 산화 당년에 억새와 참싸리, 산화 2년째에 참싸리와 졸참나무가 우점해 있고 앞으로 새로운 교란요인이 발생하지 않는다면 졸참나무군락으로 천이가 진행됨을 예상할 수 있다. 산불로 인해 식생이 파괴된 우, 그 이전의 상태로 회복되기까지 많은 시간이 걸린다는 점을 고려해서 장기적인 계획에 의한 더욱 구체적이고 체계적인 연구가 효율적인 산화지 관리면에서 수행될 필요성이 있다.

천연(天然) 제오라이트, 벤토나이트, 버미큐라이트에 의한 $^{42}K$, $^{45}Ca$ 흡착(吸着)이 Frendlich와 Langmuir 등온흡착방식(等溫吸着方式)에 맞는지, 또한 이들 흡착체(吸着體)에 흡착(吸着)된 방사성(放射性) 핵종(核種)이 $NH_4$에 의해서 탈착(脫着)되는 정도(程度)를 이들 광물(鑛物)의 결정구조적(結晶構造的) 특성(特性)과 관련시키면서 상호(相互) 비교(比較)해 봤다. 우선 $^{42}K$, $^{45}Ca$ 흡착(吸着)은 두 가지 흡착방식(吸着方式)에 잘 맞는다. Langmuir 최대흡착량(最大吸着量)은 버미큐라이트를 제외(除外)하고는 제오라이트와 벤토나이트 모두 $^{42}K$ 흡착량(吸着量)이 $^{45}Ca$ 흡착량(吸着量) 보다 많다. $^{42}K$ 흡착량(吸着量)의 크기를 보면 zeolite(Zt) > Bentonite (Bt) > Vermiculite (Vt)의 순(順)이고 $^{45}Ca$의 경우는 Bt>Vt>Zt이다. 제오라이트가 $^{42}K$를 $^{45}Ca$ 보다 더 많이 흡착(吸着)하는 것은 이온반경(半徑)과 제오라이트 공동(空洞)의 크기와 밀접한 관계가 있는 것으로 보여진다. Ca 이온반경(半徑)은 작기 때문에 공동(空洞)으로 부터 빠져 나온다. 벤토나이트가 $^{45}Ca$를 더 흡착(吸着)하는 것은 하전밀도(荷電密度)가 K의 하전밀도(荷電密度) 보다 크기 때문이라고 본다. $^{42}K$, $^{45}Ca$의 흡착강도(吸着强度)는 Langmuir 정수(定數)(k)와 비교(比較)해 보면 $^{42}K$의 경우는 k값이 $^{45}Ca$의 k값 보다 작다. k값이 작으면 흡착강도(吸着强度)는 약(弱)하다고 본다. $^{42}K$의 탈착율(脫着率)은 Zt>Bt>Vt 의 순(順)이고 $^{45}Ca$는 Vt>Zt>Bt 의 순(順)이다. 버미큐라이트의 $K^+$에 대한 선택적 고정은 제외하고 k값이 작은 것이 탈착율(脫着率)은 높다. 결론적(結論的)으로 제오라이트는 다른 개량재(改良材)보다 $^{42}K$를 더 흡착(吸着)하고 방출(放出)도 많다. 벤토나이트는 다른 개량재(改良材)보다 $^{45}Ca$를 더 흡착(吸着)하나 탈착(脫着)은 적다.

This study investigated the chemical characteristics and microbial population during incubation of four kinds of aerated compost teas based on oriental medicinal herbs compost, vermicompost, rice straw compost, and mixtures of three composts (MOVR). It aimed to determine the effects of the aerated compost tea (ACT) based on MOVR on the growth promotion of red leaf lettuce, soybean and sweet corn. Findings showed that the pH level and EC of the compost tea slightly increased based on the incubation time except for rice straw compost tea. All compost teas except for oriental medicinal herbs and rice straw compost tea contained more ${NO^-}_3-N$ than ${NH^+}_4-N$. Plate counts of bacteria and fungi were significantly higher than the initial compost in ACT. Microbial communities of all ACT were predominantly bacteria. The dominant bacterial genera were analyzed as Bacillus (63.0%), Ochrobactrum (13.0%), Spingomonas (6.0%) and uncultured bacterium (4.0%) by 16S rDNA analysis. The effect of four concentrations, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.4% and 0.8% MOVR on the growth of red leaf lettuce, soybean and sweet corn was also studied in the greenhouse. The red leaf lettuce with 0.4% MOVR had the most effective concentration on growth parameters in foliage part. However, 0.8% MOVR significantly promoted the growth of root and shoot of both soybean and sweet corn. The soybean treated with higher MOVR concentration was more effective in increasing the root nodule formation by 7.25 times than in the lower MOVR concentrations Results indicated that ACT could be used as liquid nutrient fertilizer with active microorganisms for culture of variable crops under organic farming condition.

Two experiments were conducted to examine the production and quality of cassava hay and its utilization in diets for dairy cows. In experiment I, a $2{\times}2$ Factorial arrangement in a randomized complete block design with 4 replications was carried out to determine the effects of different initial (IC) and subsequent cutting (SC) on yield and composition of cassava plant. The results revealed that cassava could produce from 4 to 7 tonne of DM and 1.2 to 1.6 tonne of CP for the first six months after planting. CP content in cassava plant ranged from 20.8 to 28.5% and was affected by different SC regimes. Condensed tannin in cassava foliage ranged from 4.9 to 5.5%. Initial cutting at 2 months with subsequent cutting at 2 month intervals was the optimal to obtain high dry matter and protein yield. In the second experiment, five crossbred Holstein-Friesian cows in mid lactation with an initial live-weight of 505${\pm}6.1kg$ and average milk yield of 10.78${\pm}1.2kg/d$ were randomly assigned in a $5{\times}5$ Latin square design to study the effects of 2 levels of CH (1 and 2 kg/hd/d) and concentrate (1 to 2 kg of milk and 1 to 3 kg of milk) on milk yield and milk composition. The results showed that cassava hay increased rumen $NH_3-N$ and milk urea nitrogen (MUN) (p<0.05). Cassava hay tended to increase milk production and 4% FCM. Milk protein increased in cows fed cassava hay (p<0.05). Moreover, cassava hay could reduce concentrate levels in dairy rations thus resulting in increased economic returns. Cassava hay can be a good source of forage to reduce concentrate supplementation and improve milk quality.

Objective: This study was to examine in vivo digestibility, nitrogen balance and ruminal fermentation of tamarind (Tamarind indica) kernel powder extract residue (TKPER) compared to soybean products and by-products in wethers. Methods: Four wethers with initial body weight (BW) of $51.6{\pm}5.5kg$ were assigned in a $4{\times}4$ Latin square design to investigate nutritional characteristics of TKPER, dry heat soybean (SB), dry soybean curd residue (SBCR) and soybean meal (SBM) feeding with ryegrass straw (R) at a ratio of 1:1 at 2% of BW in dry matter (DM) on a daily basis. Results: The digestibility of DM, crude protein, and ether extract (EE) of TKPER-R diet were 57.0%, 87.0%, and 86.0%, respectively. Higher non-fiber carbohydrates digestibility was observed in TKPER-R diet (83.2%) than in SB-R diet (73.9%, p<0.05). Wethers fed the TKPER-R diet had lower retention of nitrogen (N) and ruminal ammonia nitrogen ($NH_3-N$) contents at 4 h after feeding than those fed the SBM-R diet (p<0.05), which had values similar to the SB-R or SBCR-R diet. The TKPER feeding had higher propionate (C3) and lower butyrate content, as well as lower acetate to propionate ratio (C2:C3) in rumen fluid than SBM feeding at 4 h after feeding (p<0.05). Conclusion: TKPER did not bring any side effect to the wethers although it was lack of fiber, and could be used as a high protein and energy ingredient in concentrate with appropriate roughage to meet the fiber requirement for ruminants.

Streptomyces chibaensis J-59 xylanase는 CSL 배지(1% corn steep liquor, 0.15% glucose, 0.1% $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$, pH 7.0)에서 1% xylan을 효소생산 유도물질로 첨가하였을 경우에 생산(0.83 unit/ml) 되었으나, xylose를 비롯한 각 종 탄소원을 포함하는 배지에서는 효소가 생산되지 않았다. S. chibaensis로 부터 생산된 세포외 xylanase를 $(NH_4)_2SO_4$ 분획침전, DEAE-Sephadex A-50 column chromatography, Sephadex G-200 gel filtration 과정으로 약 29%의 수율로 20배 정제하였다. 정제한 xylanase는 SDS-PAGE 및 Sephadex G-200 gel filtraion에서 분자량이 모두 25,000 Da으로 나타나 monomenc enzyme으로 확인되었다. 금속이온에 대한 영향은 $Fe^{3+}$, $Hg^{2+}$, $Cu^{2+}$, sodium dodecyl sulfate, N-bromosuccinide 등에서는 아주 강한 저해를 받았고, $Mn^{2+}$, $Zn^{2+}$에서는 약간의 저해를 받았다. 반면에 $Mg^{2+}$는 효소활성을 증가시켰다. Xylanase에 의한 xylooligo 당의 생산양상을 TLC로 조사한 결과 xylobiose, xylotriose 및 xylotetrose가 주 생산물이었으며, 반응 1시간 이후부터 소량의 xylose가 생성되었다. 따라서 본 효소는 전형적인 endotype xylanase로 확인되었으며 새로운 기능성식품인 자일로 올리고당(xylooligo-saccharides)의 제조에 이용할 수 있을 것이다.

The purpose of this study was to analyze chemical water quality, fish trophic guilds, tolerance indicators, and fish community conditions in the Gap Stream and to compare the stream conditions between the unimpacted site and impacted site. This study was conducted in the physically stable season (May 2008) to minimize physical impacts such as flow and hydrological disturbance, and applied the study in the Gap Stream with two sites of unimpacted upstream site (Unim-S), mainly surrounded by forested area and impacted site (Im-S), influenced by the wastewater disposal plants and industrial complex in the urban region. Chemical data analysis showed that the degree of organic matter pollution, based on BOD, and COD, was $2{\sim}3$ fold greater in the Im-S than the Unim-S, and that TP, as eutrophication indicators, was 4.7 fold greater in the Im-S. Also, $NH_3-N$ was in 8.2 fold greater in the Im-S ($6.25\;mg\;L^{-1}$) than the Unim-S ($0.76\;mg\;L^{-1}$), indicating a massive influence of wastewater from the disposal plant. Similar results were found in other chemical parameters. Thus, chemical impacts in the Im-S were evident, compared to the unimpacted site. Evaluations of tolerant indicator species indicated that sensitive species were dominant in the Unim-S (23.9%) and tolerant species were dominant (97.8%) in the Im-S. Condition factor (CF) was averaged 0.95 ($0.68{\sim}1.18$) in the Unim-S and 1.08 ($0.93{\sim}1.22$) in the Im-S. Fish community in the Unim-S and Im-S was categorized as Zacco-community and Hemibarbus-community, respectively, and the community diversity index (H') was significantly (p<0.05) higher in the Unim-S (0.810) than the Im-S (0.466). Overall, our results suggest that the comparison approach of various chemical and ecological indicators provide important information in identifying multiple stressors in the stream ecosystems.

Green phosphors $(Zn_{1-a-b}M_aM^{\prime}_b)_xGa_yS_{x+3y/2}:Eu^{2+}$ (M, M' = alkali earth ions) with x = 2 and y = 2-5 were prepared, starting from ZnO, MgO, $SrCO_3$, $Ga_2O_3$, $Eu_2O_3$, and S with a flux $NH_4F$ using a conventional solidstate reaction. A phosphor with the composition of $(Zn_{0.6}Sr_{0.3}Mg_{0.1})_2Ga_2S_5:Eu^{2+}$ produced the strongest luminescence at a 460-nm excitation. The observed XRD patterns indicated that the optimized phosphor consisted of two components: zinc thiogallate and zinc sulfide. The characteristic green luminescence of the $ZnS:Eu^{2+}$ component on excitation at 460 nm was attributed to the donor-acceptor ($D_{ZnGa_2S_4}-A_{ZnS}$) recombination in the hybrid boundary. The optimized green phosphor converted 17.9% of the absorbed blue light into luminescence. For the fabrication of light-emitting diode (LED), the optimized phosphor was coated with MgO using magnesium nitrate to overcome their weakness against moisture. The MgO-coated green phosphor was fabricated with a blue GaN LED, and the chromaticity index of the phosphor-cast LED (pc-LED) was investigated as a function of the wt % of the optimized phosphor. White LEDs were fabricated by pasting the optimized green (G) and the red (R) phosphors, and the commercial yellow (Y) phosphor on the blue chips. The three-band pc-WLED resulted in improved color rendering index (CRI) and corrected color temperature (CCT), compared with those of the two-band pc-WLED.
