Acetanilide may be released into the environment through air and wastewater from its production and use sites as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and dyes. Acetanilide is biodegraded rapidly under aerobic conditions and decomposed by indirect photolysis in the presence of OH radicals. An estimated bioconcentration factor of 4.5 suggests that bioaccumulation in aquatic organisms is low. Ecotoxicological data on acetanilide exist on acute toxicity to fishes of 4 species only. According to the EUSES system, the lowest PNEC (Predicted no effect concentration) in fishes is 0.01 mg/1 and PEC (Predicted environmental concentration) for surface water on a regional scale is 9.1$\times$10$\^$－5/mg/l as the worst case. RCR (Risk characterization ratio) of acetanilide for surface water on a regional scale was estimated as 9.1$\times$10-3, which is safe enough for fishes, RCR on a local basis slightly exceeds the value 1 in water and sediment; that is, 1.3 and 1.6, respectively, which suggests the existence of ecotoxicological risk at the vicinity of the manufacturing site. For the refinement of environmental risk assessment on acetanilide, more data should be collected regarding prolonged fish toxicity, acute toxicity toward daphnia and algae. It is, therefore, recommended that acetanilide should be a candidate for further work to supplement the lacking data until it is proved to be safe in the ecotoxicological aspects.

In this research hydrogen sulfide, ammonia and toluene were designated as the representative source of malodor and VOC, respectively, frequently generated at the compost manufacturing factory and publicly owned facilities. The optimum operating condition to treat the waste air(2 L/min) containing malodor was constructed using photocatalytic reactor/biofilter process with humidifier composed of fluidized aerobic anf anoxic reactor. The ammonia(300 ppmv) of fed-waste air was removed by 22, 55 and 23% at the stage of photocatalytic reactor, humidifier and biofilter, respectively. The toluene(100 ppmv) of fed-waste air was removed by 20, 10 and 70% at the stage of photocatalytic reactor, humidifier and biofilter, respectively. Therefore the water-soluble ammonia and the water-insoluble toluene were treated mainly at the stage of humidifier and biofilter, respectively. In addition, hydrogen sulfide(10 ppmv) was almost treated at the stage of photocatalytic reactor and its negligible trace was absorbed in humidifier so that it was not detected before biofilter process. The nitrate concentration of the process water from anoxic reactor was found lower by 3 ppm than that from fluidized aerobic reactor. Besides, the dissolved ammonia-nitrogen concentration of the process water from humidifier remained at the high value of 1,500-2,000 ppm, which may be attributed to the existence of ammonium chloride and other source of ammonium nitrogen.

영광 3/4호기 mid-loop 운전중 잔열제거(RHR) 기능 상실사고시 열수력적 현상을 최적 전산코드인 CATHARE2를 이용하여 해석하였다. 이러한 사고시 열수력적 현상은 일,이차측 냉각재 방출유로와 계통내 비응축성 가스의 거동에 의해 크게 영향을 받는다. 본 연구에서는 2개의 경우를 모의하였는데, 하나는 계통내 방출유로가 있는 경우이며 다른 하나는 방출유로가 없는 경우를 계산하였다. 이 때 사용된 가정은 다음과 같다. (가) 계통은 부분충수 운전 상태로 상부에 비응축성 가스나 증기로 가득 차 있다. (나) 증기발생기는 1대만이 이용 가능하고 이차측은 습식보관 상태이며, 보조급수는 공급되지 않고 이차측 압력은 대기압 상태이다 (다) 사고는 원자로 정지후 2일후 발생한다. 이와같은 조건하에서 사고시 계통 최대압력은 방출유로가 있는 경우 사고후 6,000 초에 0.27 MPa이며, 방출유로를 통한 유량은 총 2.4 kg/s이다. 이 방출유량을 외삽하여 계통수위가 고온관 바닦까지 도달하는데 걸린 시간은 사고후 약 5.67시간이다. 증기발생기 U-튜브를 통한 열전달에 의해 이차측 증기 발생으로 이차측 수위가 하락하면 증기발생기 reflux cooling은 제한을 받을 수 있다. 이 경우 이차측 수위가 U-튜브의 active 영역 상부까지 도달하는데 걸리는 시간은 사고후 약 10시간으로 계산되었다. 그러므로 이 경우 보조급수 공급 여유시간보다 노심 노출시간이 더 빨리 도달하여 노심을 손상시킨다. 사고시 수위지시계는 계통감압에 큰 영향을 주지 못하기 때문에 가능한 빨리 닫아 계통 inventory를 유지하는 것이 이차측 보조급수공급보다 우선한다.합한 설계방안으로 분석되었다.크다는 단점이 있다.TEX>$_2$O$_3$ 흡착제 제조시 TiO$_2$ 함량에 따른 Co$^{2＋}$ 흡착량과 25$0^{\circ}C$의 고온에서 ZrO$_2$와 $Al_2$O$_3$의 표면에 생성된 코발트 화합물을 XPS와 EPMA로 부터 확인하였다.인을 명시적으로 설명할 수 있다. 둘째, 오류의 시발점을 정확히 포착하여 동기가 분명한 수정대책을 강구할 수 있다. 셋째, 음운 과 정의 분석 모델은 새로운 언어 학습시에 관련된 언어 상호간의 구조적 마찰을 설명해 줄 수 있다. 넷째, 불규칙적이며 종잡기 힘들고 단편적인 것으로만 보이던 중간언어도 일정한 체계 속에서 변화한다는 사실을 알 수 있다. 다섯째, 종전의 오류 분석에서는 지나치게 모국어의 영향만 강조하고 다른 요인들에 대해서는 다분히 추상적인 언급으로 끝났지만 이 분석을 통 해서 배경어, 목표어, 특히 중간규칙의 역할이 괄목할 만한 것임을 가시적으로 관찰할 수 있 다. 이와 같은 오류분석 방법은 학습자의 모국어 및 관련 외국어의 음운규칙만 알면 어느 학습대상 외국어에라도 적용할 수 있는 보편성을 지니는 것으로 사료된다.없다. 그렇다면 겹의문사를 [-wh]의리를 지 닌 의문사의 병렬로 분석할 수 없다. 예를 들어 누구누구를 [주구-이-ν가] [누구누구-이- ν가]로부터 생성되었다고 볼 수 없다. 그러므로 [-wh] 겹의문사는 복수 의미를 지닐 수 없 다. 그러면 단수 의미는 어떻게 생성되는가\

In order to assess sewage treatment technology necessary to achieve water quality criteria in the watershed and to ensure best treatment technology is applied in building and expanding PSTWs when establishing the Watershed Sewer System Maintenance Plan, it is necessary to develop assessment guidelines to determinate the best treatment technologies applicable to the public sewage treatment works(PSTWs). Sewage treatment technologies such as anaerobic-anoxic-aerobic treatment process are employed at PSTWs, and treatment efficiency varies due to many factors such as how the PSTWs are operated. Therefore, analyzing assessment guideline of best available technology(BAT) using currently in USA and EU, this study presents assessment parameters for the assessment guidelines to be used in determining the best treatment technologies applicable to PSTWs. We have a plan to implement pilot assessment in preparation for the final assessment guidelines based on the results of professionals survey and to determine weighted factors and assessment parameters using analytic hierarchy process (AHP).

Butanol-resistant bacteria were isolated from butanol solvent. The cell growth of isolated strains declined with increasing concentrations of butanol, and isolated strain BRS02 displayed more resistance to 12.5 g/L of butanol than other isolated strains. In addition, strain BRS251, which was resistant to even higher concentrations of butanol, was developed by the mutation of BRS02 using UV. BRS251 could grow in LB medium containing up to 17.5 g/L of butanol, 32.5 g/L of propanol, or 6 g/L of pentanol, whereas the control strain Escherichia coli was found to be tolerant to 7.5 g/L of butanol, 20 g/L of propanol, or 2 g/L of pentanol. The isolated BRS02, a Gram(+) bacterium seen to have a cocci form under the microscope, grew in 6.5% NaCl. According to biochemical tests, BRS02 can metabolize and produce acid with D-galactose, D-maltose, D-mannitol, D-mannose, methyl-${\beta}$-Dglucopyranoside, D-ribose, sucrose, or D-trehalose, as carbon sources. Also, this strain showed resistance to bacitracin, vibriostatic agent O/129, and optochin, alongside positive activities for arginine dihydrolase, ${\alpha}$-glucosidase, and urease. The BRS02 strain was identified as Staphylococcus sp. by analyses of the 16S rRNA gene, phylogenetic tree, and biochemical tests.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the concentration of seminal plasma in aerobic and anaerobic conditions on the total motility(TM) and the progressive motility(PM) of spermatozoa in long term preservation of cooled equine semen. We also examine the pregnancy rates after artificial insemination using fresh, cooled or frozen semen, and different durations of cooled-preserved equine semen. In the aerobic state of cooled-preserved semen, As the increase of preserved duration to 24h, 48h, 72h, and 96h, TM tended to decrease in each of different concentrations of formalin-containing experimental group, TM tended to decrease regardless of the concentrations of SP. In different concentrations of SP, TM of without seminal plasma(SP W/O) group tended to be higher than that of SP 20%, SP 33% and SP 50%, especially TM of SP W/O group was significantly higher than other groups at 96 h (p<0.05). PM was higher in the groups of SP W/O and SP 20% than in the groups of SP 33% and SP 50% from 24 h to 72 h in cooled-preservation, especially PM of SP W/O group was significantly higher than other groups at 96 h (p<0.05). In the anaerobic condition of cooled-preserved semen, the results of TM and PM at different concentrations of SP were similar to the results in the aerobic condition although there was a difference in the ratio. The pregnancy rates of fresh-cooled, cooled-preserved and frozen semen were 66.3%, 60.7% and 34.5%, respectively, and the pregnancy rate of frozen semen was the lowest. We also found that it is possible to pregnancy after artificial insemination using 72 h cooled-preserved equine semen. There was similar of the pregnancy rates in the different month from April to August.

The effects of purine catabolites in growth media on the biosynthesis of Serratia marcescens and Lactobacillus plantarum purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) activity were examined. Serratia PNP activity was decreased approximately by 30% in the presence of high concentrations of inosine $(5{\sim}15\;mM)$, but was not affected at low concentrations of inosine $(0.1{\sim}1\;mM)$. However, Lactobacillus PNP activity was increased above 60% by inosine among the range from 5 to 15 mM. Serratia PNP activity was decreased approximately by 45% in the presence of high concentrations of hypoxanthine $(5{\sim}15\;mM)$, but was not affected at low concentrations of hypoxanthine $(0.1{\sim}0.5\;mM)$. Lactobacillus PNP activity was increased approximately by 20% in the presence of low concentrations of hypoxanthine $(0.1{\sim}0.5\;mM)$, and increased approximately by $50{\sim}65%$ in the presence of concentrations of hypoxanthine $(1{\sim}15\;mM)$. Serratia and Lactobacillus PNP activity was increased 20% by low concentrations of uric acid (0.5 mM), but was decreased $40{\sim}80%$ at high concentrations of same purine catabolite $(10{\sim}15\;mM)$. These data suggest that purine nucleoside phosphorylase in Serratia marcescens ATCC 25419 and Lactobacillus plantarum ATCC 8014 is positively regulated by a low uric acid concentration, and then may play a regulatory role in a purine nucleotide catabolic pathway.

The feasibility of using bacterial cultures with the ultimate aim for the marine environmental clean-up was explored. The present study reports on the bacterial elimination of nitrogens and phosphorus by strains CK-10 and CK-13 isolated from shrimp farming pond. The strains were identified as genus Bacillus on the basis of BIOLOG test, and designated as Bacillus sp. CK-10 and Bacillus sp. CK-13, respectively. Removal of nitrogens $(NH_4^+,\;NO_2^-,\;or\;NO_3^-)$ or phosphorus $(PO_4^{-3})$ as single N or P source was studied with single cultures under aerobic conditions. Complete elimination of all nitrogens in the concentration range of $100-400{\mu}M$ was achieved in single cultures as well as co-cultures within the given incubation period. Similar results were obtained from the test cultures containing $125-599{\mu}M\;PO_4^{3-}$. Simultaneous removal of all N/P was monitored in the co-cultures. As the results, $400{\mu}M\;NH_4^+\;and\;NO_2^-$ were eliminated within 12hrs and $400{\mu}M\;NO_3^-\;and\;500{\mu}M\;PO_4^{-3}$ were completely disappeared within 36 hrs from the media. The work demonstrated that co-cultures improved the concurrent removal of N/P from the media.

In this study, we report the effect of VI/III ratio on ${\alpha}-Ga_2O_3$ epilayer on sapphire substrate by halide vapor phase epitaxy. The surface of ${\alpha}-Ga_2O_3$ epilayer grown with various VI/III ratios was flat and crack-free. To analyze the optical properties of the ${\alpha}-Ga_2O_3$ epilayers, the transmittance and an optical band gap were measured. The optical band gap was shown to be around 5 eV and showed a proportional increase in VI/III ratios. To determine the crystal quality of alpha gallium oxide grown with a ratio of 23, closed to the theoretical optical band gap, the FWHM was measured by HR-XRD. The calculated dislocation density of screw and edge were $1.5{\times}10^7cm^{-2}$ and $5.4{\times}10^9cm^{-2}$, respectively.
