The winter case of the near-field dilution at the Masan outfalls has been studied by field measurements and CORMIX model simulations. Dilution rates of the wastewater discharge in winter were obtained by a salinity deficit method using the field data observed in the neap tidal period of February, 1999. The observed dilution rates in winter season were found to be very high in the range of 90～130 due to the isopycnal mixing of ambient density compared with the summer range of 30～40 under weak neap tidal currents. The results of CORMIX model simulations also show that the winter dilution rates under a weak ambient current(Ua=6.0ms/s) were increased by 3-fold of the summer dilution rates. However, the difference between two seasons becomes small by 30% under a strong current(Ua=15.5cm/s). This result indicates that the dilution and hydrodynamic mixing process of the effluents are more influenced by ambient crossflow condition than by ambient density stratification at the outfalls site.

For the case of the capacity increase of Masan-Changwon wastewater treatment plant, the changes of near-field dilution rates due to the increased discharges into Masan Bay from the submerged multipart-diffuser were predicted by using CORMIX model. As the increase of wastewater discharges from currently 280,000 m3f day to 720,000 m3fday by 2011, the dilution rates become much lower than the present rates. To enhance the reduced dilution rates, the engineering design changes of diffuser length and alignment were considered as an optimal engineering option. According to the results of the model simulations for these changes, the dilution rates were increased in the strong ambient current of spring tide, but they were not affected by these changes in the weak current of neap tide in Masan Bay. From the analysis of oceanographic survey data, new outfalls sites have been searched. A promising outfalls site is selected and proposed on the basis of maximum obtainable dilution rates predicted by the model simulations.

The quality characteristics of 'Xiangshui' pears (Pyrus ussuriensis) treated with different concentrations of biomass pyrolysis liquid (BPL) during storage at $25^{\circ}C$ were investigated. The weight of 'Xiangshui' pears treated with BPL declined at a slower rate than that of the control. The rot index of BPL-treated 'Xiangshui' pears decreased with increasing storage times, and treatment with 20-fold-diluted BPL resulted in the lowest rot index after storage for 12 days. The total acid content of 'Xiangshui' pears treated with 20-fold-diluted BPL was 0.19%, and was the highest after storage for 12 days. After storage for 12 days, the total sugar content of 'Xiangshui' pears treated with 20-fold-diluted BPL was 7.19%; this was significantly higher than that of the control, but not significantly different from that of pears treated with other BPL dilutions. The vitamin C content of 'Xiangshui' pears showed a decreased trend, and pears treated with 20-fold-diluted BPL had a vitamin C content of 2.21 mg/100 g after storage for 12 days and showed the least decline compared to other treatments. In addition, respiration in 'Xiangshui' pears was effectively inhibited by treatment with BPL. In conclusion, BPL treatment exerts a protective effect on the quality of 'Xiangshui' pears during storage, with 20-fold-diluted BPL being the most effective.

This experiment was carried out to develop an environmental friendly agriculture material (EFAM) using neem extract i.e. azadirachtin (0.5%), especially against Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) in eggplant. Neem product was found to be very effective against both nymph and adult of B. tabaci. Yield and economic value of eggplant treated with neem extract were higher than other EFAMs used. Effect of different concentration of Neem product was also investigated on population density of B. tabaci. The growth and yield of eggplants were highest in plants treated with 500 times concentrated solution of neem product. Economic analysis showed that the income increased by 13,545 thousand won/10a from the plots treated with 500 times concentrated solution of neem product over control. The results suggested that 500 times concentrated solution of EFAM (azadirachtin 0.5%) could be a good controlling agent of B. tabaci in eggplants.

This study aims to identify the relationship between outcome expectancy and illegal use of music sources, and examined the parallel double mediating model of reward sensitivity and social dilution of responsibility on that relationship. To achieve the purpose this study, data were collected from 302 male and female high school students living in Seoul metropolitan area, and a double mediating effect was analysed with PROCESS Macro 3.5 Model 4. Results indicated that outcome expectancy was positively correlated with reward sensitivity, social dilution of responsibility, and illegal use of music sources of high school students, whereas reward sensitivity and social dilution of responsibility were positively correlated with illegal use of music sources. This study found that reward sensitivity and social dilution of responsibility were mediating outcome expectancy and illegal use of music sources in parallel. These findings suggest that psychological mechanisms lead adolescents use illegal music sources might be important, and provide useful information for making strategies to prevent adolescents' uses of illegal music sources.

This study was performed to investigate the effects of prolonged immersion vaccination in a dilute vaccine on the farmed olive flounder, Pararlichthys olivaceus. Juvenile olive flounders were immersed in the several diluted ($10^0$, $10^{-1}$, $10^{-2}$ and $10^{-3}$) commercial edwardsiellosis bacterins (5㎎/ℓ) for 2min (short immersion, SI) and 24 h (prolonged immersion, PI). After immunization, fish were analyzed to investigate on non-specific (serum lysozyme and bactericidal activity), specific immune responses (antibody agglutinin titer) and resistances against Edwardsiella tarda infection. The PI of the commercial vaccine diluted with $10^{-1}$ and $10^{-2}$ showed better results over the untreated control in terms of serum lysozyme, bactericidal activities and resistance against E. tarda infection. These results suggest that the prolonged treatments of the diluted vaccine might be a new approach improving the vaccination potential.

Salmonella Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) is one of the common food pathogens which may cause gastroenteritidis in human and animals. The microorganism also causes the economic loss in animal farming and food industry. In this study, the disinfection efficacy of a powder disinfectant containing phosphate compounds as a main ingredient, was evaluated against S. Typhimurium. A bactericidal efficacy test by broth dilution method was used to determine the lowest effective dilution of the disinfectant following exposure to test bacteria for 30 min at $4^{\circ}C$. The disinfectant and test bacteria were diluted with hard water (HW) or organic matter suspension (OM) according to treatment condition. On HW and OM conditions, the bactericidal activity of the disinfectant against S. Typhimurium was 4- and 2-fold dilutions, respectively. As the disinfectant composed to phosphate compounds possesses bactericidal efficacy against pathogenic bacteria such as S. Typhimurium, the powder disinfectant can be used to control the spread of bacterial diseases.

신규 수자원개발을 위해서는 사회적으로 공감대를 형성해야 하며, 사업을 평가할 수 있는 기준과 방법이 객관성과 타당성을 가져야 한다. 이를 위해 수자원개발 사업시 대상이 되는 편익과 비용을 제시하여 계량화하는 것이 필요하다. 수자원사업에 따른 편익 및 비용의 대상 항목과 그 필요성은 기존에 이미 정립되어 있으나 용수공급과 홍수조절, 수력발전 등 일부 항목에 대한 계량화만이 비교적 실체적으로 연구되었을 뿐이다. 그러나 최근의 사회적 여건변화에 따라 환경개선, 관광 및 레크리에이션, 주운 등 다양한 편익항목의 계량화 방안 개발이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 댐에 의한 환경개선용수공급에 따른 하천수질개선 편익의 계량화 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 댐에 의한 하천의 수질개선은 크게 두 가지 측면에서 바라볼 수 있는데 하천유량 증대에 따른 희석효과와 수처리 시설에 의한 정수효과가 그것이다. 본 연구는 댐으로부터 공급되는 풍부한 유량을 바탕으로 희석효과에 의한 하류 수질개선 편익을 계량화하기 위한 것이다. 즉, 풍부한 유량으로 유량감소에 따른 수질악화를 막고, 희석작용에 의한 자정작용의 향상 및 이에 따른 수질개선 효과에 대한 편익이다. 본 연구는 이를 위하여 낙동강수계 내에 신규댐 건설에 의한 하류 수질개선 편익을 산정하고자 한다. 기존에는 환경개선용수 공급을 위한 댐의 편익산정에 대체댐에 의한 대체시설비용법을 적용하였으나, '댐을 대체하는 또 다른 댐'에 의한 편익산정이 갖는 이론적 모순이 제기될 수 있어 설득력을 갖기 힘든 면이 있었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 댐의 환경개선용수 공급을 통한 수질개선 효과를 산정한 후, 이에 상당하는 효과를 환경기초시설에 의해 구현하였을 때의 비용을 계산하여 환경개선용수 공급의 편익으로 가정하는 대체시설비용법을 제시하였다.

Disease control efficacy was evaluated with use of Bacillus subtilis KB-401 against cucumber powdery mildew in a greenhouse and fields. B. subtilis KB-401 showing inhibitory effect on mycelial growth of various phytopathogenic fungi was formulated for the evaluation. The formulated biofungicide of B. subtilis KB-401 was less effective at 1,000 times dilution rate than that at 250 or 500 times dilution rate. The powdery mildew was successfully controlled by the biofungicide at the early stage of disease development. The field performance of the biofungicde was conducted in Asan and Cheonan city. Three or four consecutive applications of the biofungicide at 500 dilution rate with 10-day intervals resulted in considerable efficacy of disease control as high as 83.3%.

동위원소희석법에 의한 열이온화 질량분석법(ID-TIMS)을 이용하여 한국지질자원연구원과 에너지기술연구 원내 지하수와 강우 희토류원소의 함량을 측정/해석하였다. 분석결과를 토대로 지하수의 희토류원소 함량은 강우의 함량과 비교해 볼 때, 상대적으로 낮은 값을 보여준다. 그리고 굴착 심도가 더 깊은 한국지질자원연구원의 지하수내 희토류원소 함량이 한국에너지기술연구원의 지하수내 함량보다 더 낮은 값을 보여준다. 이는 강우가 지하로 흘러들어 가면서, 희토류원소와 대수층 구성암석과의 흡착반응에 의해 심부로 갈수록 함량이 낮아졌을 가능성이 크다고 판단된다. 뿐만 아니라, 강우의 경우, 희토류원소의 W형-테트라드 효과가 매우 현저하게 나타나고, 지하수에서는 M형과 W형의 테트라드 효과가 동시에 존재하는 특성이 강한데, 이는 희토류원소의 수화수 및 화강암 대수층과의 물-암석 반응에 의한 결과인 것으로 사료된다.
