Two sets of four parallel activated sludge reactors (ASRs) maintaining an MLSS of 3000 mg/L were operated to investigate the effect of DO, HRTs and bio-contact media (BCM) packing ratios on the removal efficiency of organic matters and nitrogen. Packing ratios of BCM to BCM-ASR systems 1, 2, 3, and 4 were 0% (suspended growth only), 10%, 15% and 20%, respectively. All systems were operated at an HRT of 4 hr, 6 hr, and 8 hr, respectively; DO concentration was maintained 0.5~1.0 mg/L and 1.5~2.0 mg/L for each HRT condition. In terms of TSS, TCODcr and SCODcr removal efficiency, all systems had a similar level of the removal efficiency under varied HRTs, and DO. But organic removal efficiency of systems with BCM was approximately 3~5% higher than systems without BCM at the same HRT and the DO. About the nitrification efficiency, with high DO (1.5~2.0 mg/L), as HRT (4 hr, 6 hr, 8 hr) or BCM packing ratio increased, the slight increment of nitrification efficiency was observed. However, under the low DO (0.5~1.0 mg/L), increase of BCM packing ratio and HRT resulted in large increase of the nitrification efficiency. At the same HRT and BCM packing ratio, the nitrification efficiency increased greatly with up to 15% as DO increased. When the HRT increased from 4hr to 8hr, the denitrification efficiency slightly increased by 5~10% only, under all DO conditions. Systems with BCM had higher denitrification efficiency, ranged 62.7~91.1% than systems without BCM showed 32.1~65.6%. And the increase in BCM packing ratio from 10% to 20% resulted in about 14~16% denitrification efficiency increment. BCM packing ratio showed great effect on the denitrification. The increase of the DO (from 0.5~1.0 mg/L to 1.5~2.0 mg/L) at the same HRT and BCM packing ratio resulted in slight decrease of denitrification efficiency with up to 7% for systems with BCM. But for systems without BCM, the denitrification efficiency decreased with up to 28%. In all system, the denitrification efficiency had more influence on the TN removal efficiency than nitrification efficiency. So, BCM packing ratio (0%, 10%, 15%, 20%) has greater effect on the TN removal than HRT and DO. The TN removal efficiency increased as packing ratio of BCM increased with up to 45%. As a result, the highest TN removal efficiency was observed 73.7% at the condition showed the highest denitrification efficiency that DO of 0.5~1.0 mg/L, an HRT of 8 hr, and 20% of BCM packing ratio was maintained.

Activated sludge reactors maintaining an MLSS of 3,000 mg/L and packed Bio Contact Media (BCM fixed beds) was studied in lab-scale to determine the optimal packing ratio and an HRT of aerobic reactor in terms of organic removal, nitrification, denitrification efficiencies. At all HRTs of 3 hr, 5 hr, 7 hr respectively, reactors without BCM, control reactors, had the lowest TCODcr removal efficiency about 74.6%, and reactors with the BCM packing ratios of 10%, 15%, 20% had a greater TCODcr removal efficiency above 81.4%. As HRT decreased, the TCODcr removal efficiency decreased also in all reactors. However, a better utilization of TCODcr even at a higher organic loading was observed in reactors with BCM. The nitrification efficiency at all reactors was greater than 94%, and reactor with 20% packing of BCM had the highest nitrification efficiency at 97.9% while the TKN loading increased at $0.085mgTKN/m^3{\ast}day$ as HRT decreased, In terms of denitrification efficiency, the reactor without BCM ranged from 11.6% to 13.7%, and the reactors with BCM ranged from 28.3% to 63.4% which suggests that the more BCM is packed in the reactors, the higher the denitrification efficiency is achieved. Two parallel $A^2/O$ systems maintaining an MLSS of 3,000 mg/L were operated to investigate the effect of BCM packing ratio of 20% on organic removal, nitrification, denitrification efficiencies. Packing with BCM in system of aerobic reactor affected the SCODcr removal efficiency that increased from 73% to 78%. The nitrification efficiency for both systems with or without BCM was greater than 95%. The denitrification efficiency of systems with BCM and without BCM was 85.8% and 81.8%, respectively which appears that the denitrification efficiency was increased slightly by packing BCM. Compared denitrification efficiency in $A^2/O$ system to previous experimental study with activated sludge reactors operates with the same HRT $A^2/O$ system showed only 29% greater denitrification efficiency. It suggests that $A^2/O$ system with BCM can achieve a similar level of denitrification efficiency when the HRT of anoxic reactor is decreased to some extent.

Four parallel $A^2/O$ systems maintaining an MLSS of 3,000 mg/L were operated to investigate the effects of varying an HRT of anoxic reactors and packing Bio contact media (BCM, fixed beds) in aerobic reactors on organic matter removal and nitrification/denitrification efficiencies. All systems were operated under conditions that the external recycle ratio was kept 0.5 Q while the internal recycle ratio was changed 1.0 Q to 1.5 Q with that $NH_4-N$ concentration of feed was increased to 40 mg/L by adding $NH_4Cl$. In terms of TSS and TCODcr removal efficiency, both systems with BCM and a system without BCM, respectively, had a similar level of the removal efficiency under varied HRTs of anoxic reactors (0.6 hr, 1.3 hr, 2 hr, 2 hr; control, without BC M) showing that varying an HRT of anoxic reactors did not affect the removal efficiency. While SCODcr removal efficiency of systems with BCM was improved approximately 4~5% at the same HRT of anoxic reactor, the removal efficiency of system with BCM was slightly decreased by reducing an HRT of anoxic reactor. The nitrification efficiency for both systems with BCM and a system without BCM was above 94% showing that packing BCM in aerobic reactors and varying an HRT of anoxic reactors did not affect the efficiency significantly despite of increasing $NH_4-N$ concentration of feed. The denitrification efficiency increased from 81.4% to 85.4% at system with BCM while the efficiency decreased when a shorter HRT of anoxic reactors was kept. The excellent effluent quality for $NO_3-N$ concentration was observed although the $NO_3-N$ concentration increased in anoxic reactors that $NH_4-N$ concentration of feed sufficiently converted into nitrate through nitrification. As a result, packing 20% BCM to an aerobic reactor with HRT of 1.3 hr of anoxic reactor in $A^2/O$ system can achieve a similar level of nitrogen removal efficiency in $A^2/O$ system which the aerobic reactor had no BCM and HRT of 2 hr for anoxic reactor is maintained.

For enhancement of cis,cis-muconate productivity from benzoate, catechol 1,2-dioxygenase (C12O) which catalyzes the rate-limiting step (catechol conversion to cis,cis-muconate) was cloned and expressed in recombinant Pseudomonas putida BCM114. At higher benzoate concentrations (more than 15 mM), cis,cis-muconate productivity gradually decreased and unconverted catechol was accumulated up to 10 mM in the cae of wild-type P. putida BM014, whereas cis,cis-muconate productivity continuously increased and catechol was completely transformed to cis,cis-muconate for P. putida BCM114. Specific C12O activity of P. putida BCM114 was about three times higher than that of P. putida BM014, and productivity was enhanced more than two times.

Purpose: Our aim was the longitudinal assessment of cyst size in fetuses with biliary cystic malformation (BCM) to explore its etiology and the possibility of antenatal differentiation between biliary atresia (BA) and congenital biliary dilatation (CBD). Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of all patients diagnosed antenatally with BCM from 1994 to 2014 at our institutions. Results: The study cohort comprised of three patients with BA and six with CBD. There were no significant differences in the gestational age and cyst size at the first detection of BCM between the two groups. In fetuses with CBD, the cyst size steadily increased as the gestational age advanced, while it fluctuated around 1.5 cm and remained below 2.1 cm in those with BA. However, the ratio of cystic area to fetal trunk area was approximately constant due to linear fetal growth in fetuses with CBD. Conclusion: Fetuses with BCM <2.1 cm in the late gestation period were more likely to have BA than CBD. Our observation of cyst enlargement with advancing gestational age in the CBD group was attributed solely to fetal growth. Biliary dilatation in fetuses with CBD and BA might be completed at the onset of BCM.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of breath-counting meditation (BCM) and deep breathing (DB) on heart rate variability (HRV). These breathing techniques have the characteristics of non-paced and self-controlled breathings, resulting in less increase of HRV. We also compared BCM and DB with usual breathing (UB) or relaxing breathing (RB) which can reveal the characteristics of those. Methods: 83 healthy volunteers sitting in chairs performed non-paced breathing; UB, RB, BCM, and DB each for 5 minutes. One minute of relaxation was permitted between breathings. Participants surfed the internet sitting in front of a computer during UB, while for RB, they remained steady with eyes closed. For BCM, they breathed inwardly counting from 1 to 10 repetitively, while they took a deep breath during DB. Physiological indices were simultaneously recorded with a biofeedback system. Results: Respiration rate, thoracic amplitude, and mean heart rate decreased in RB compared with UB, but there was no change in HRV. Respiration rate in BCM and DB was lower than that in UB or RB, and the amplitude of thorax or abdomen, and HRV all increased (p<0.05). However, mean heart rate and skin conductance decreased in BCM compared with UB (p<0.05), whereas those were no different between DB and UB. Conclusion: BCM, just concentrating mentally on breathing with counting each breath, can increase HRV with less sympathetic activation, while DB, actively moving thorax and abdomen for achieving the deepest respiration rate, can greatly raise HRV with the maintenance of mean vagal or sympathetic tone.

본 연구는 내진설계가 되어 있지 않은 필로티 건축물의 부족한 횡력을 보강할 수 있는 외부부착형 내진보강공법(Binding Column Method, BCM)을 제안하였다. 또한, 제안된 내진보강공법을 대상으로 보강실험체 4개, 기준 실험체 1개를 제작하여 반복가력 실험을 통하여 보강 전·후의 내진성능향상 효과를 검토하였다. 실험 결과, 기준 실험체(SC1)는 급격한 강도저하와 함께 취성적인 전단파괴의 양상을 나타낸 반면, BCM 공법을 적용한 실험체(SC2, SC3, SC4, SC5)는 강도 및 강성의 증가와 함께 에너지 흡수 능력이 큰 타원형의 이력특성을 나타내었다. 또한, 간격이 좁고 토크가 크며, L자형 강판의 두께가 두꺼울수록 보강효과가 향상됨을 알 수 있다. BCM공법 중 전단보강간격이 작고, 조임력 값이 크며, 연결철물이 두꺼운 SC4실험체가 가장 뛰어난 내진성능보강 효과를 나타내었다.

본 연구에서는 2007년 IPCC AR4와 함께 제시된 SRES A2 시나리오를 이용해서 기후변화가 한반도 가뭄에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위한 방안을 제시하고자 한다. IPCC는 DDC를 통해서 총 24개의 기후모형의 결과를 월 단위로제공하고 있다. 이 중 노르웨이 BCCR의 BCM2 모형과 NCEP 자료를 이용하여 최근린법(K-NN)과 인공신경망(Artificial Neural Network)이론을 적용함으로써, 온도와 강수량을 기상청 산하 서울지점으로 축소하였다. 최근린법의 경우, 온도와 강수량 모두를 축소하는 것이 가능하였지만, 인공신경망이론을 적용하여 축소할 경우, 온도는 비교적 잘 축소하였으나 강수량의 경우는 발산하는 결과를 보였다. 마지막으로 기후변화가 가뭄에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위해서 최근린법으로부터 축소된 월 단위 강수량을 이용하여 서울지점의 표준강수지수를 산정하였다. BCM2 모형에 의하면 서울지점의 경우, 미래에는 전반적으로 온도가 증가하고 가뭄의 지속기간이 길어짐에 따라 가뭄이 더욱더 심각하게 된다는 결과를 예측하였다.

최근 지구온난화가 가속화되면서 전 세계적으로 기록적인 기상재해가 급증하고 있다. 특히 강우패턴의 변화로 인하여 강우강도가 증가하여 집중호우의 발생빈도가 높아지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기후변화 시나리오에 따른 강우패턴의 변화를 반영하여 목표연도 확률강우량을 산정하는 비정상성 강우빈도해석법을 제안하였다. BCM2 모형(A2 시나리오)과 NCEP 자료를 K-NN 축소기법을 사용하여 축소시킨 연 총 강우량을 이용하여 연 최대 강우량 평균, 연 최대 강우량 평균과 매개변수 간 통계학적 관계를 분석하여 목표연도 확률강우량을 산정하였다. 분포형은 Gumbel 분포를 사용하였으며 매개변수 추정법은 확률가중모멘트법을 사용하였다. 국내에서 가장 긴 관측 강우자료를 가진 서울지점을 대상으로 모형의 적합성 검증을 실시하였으며, 2006년 현재 통계학적으로 증가경향성을 가진 7개의 강우관측지점에 적용한 결과를 분석하였다. 기후변화 시나리오에 따른 지역적 연 총 강우량의 변화는 미래 확률강우량의 증감에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.
