The effect of temperature and pH on the degrdation of minoxidil in the aqueous solution was investigated and the stability of pharmaceutical preparation for solution was also studied. The degradation of minoxidil in the aqueous solution was first order type reaction and the rate constant at $20^{\circ}C$ in pH 7.0 phosphate buffer solution was 9.464${\times]10^{-3} day^{-1}$ and calculated activation energy was 11.7 kcal/mol. The degradation of minoxidil was acid-base catalytic reaction and the most stable range of pH was about 5.0. The liquid pharmaceutical preparation was very stable in 3 months.

Study on high temperature properties of concrete and internal force estimation of structural member subjected to high temperature mainly applied high temperature strength model based on experimental results with concrete under 40MPa. However, it is reported that degradation of internal force at high temperature and spalling of ultra high strength concrete are higher than that of normal strength concrete. Therefore, this study attempts to propose compressive strength degradation model which is suitable to ultra high strength concrete comparing to existing model by evaluating high temperature properties of ultra high strength concrete.

Vapor injection technique has been applied to prevent performance degrdation of a heat pump at low ambient temperatures. In this study, the heating performance of a heat pump with a variable speed injection scroll compressor using R-410A was investigated by applying sub-cooler vapor injection(SCVI) and flash tank vapor injection(FTVI). The heating performance of the heat pump was measured by varying compressor frequency and outdoor temperature. The heating capacity of the FTVI system was 8~10% higher than that of the SCVI system at all operating conditions. On the other hand, the heating performance improvement with the increase in the compressor frequency was more prominent in the SCVI system than in the FTVI system.

Isolated Gram-negative bacteria, being capable of degrading toxic, recalcitrant, and pigment-producing furfural, were tentatively identified as Pseudomonas testosteroni, Pseudomonas maltophilia, Klebsiella Pneumoniae, and Pseudomonas fluorescens. They exhibited synergistic effects between P. testosteroni and the others in the degradation of colourproducing furfural. Synergistic effects and possible sequence of its degradation were attempted by manometric technique. P. testosteroni could degrade furfural to decolourize it and produce ninhydrin-reaction postive substance (NPS) which could be utilized by P. maltophilia and K. pneumoniae and the latter two bacteria could ,degrade furfural to 2-furoic acid as an oxidized form. Finally 2-furoic acid was further oxidized by P. fluorescens. Once NPS and 2-furoic acid were produced, the degradation efficiency was enhanced by competing four bacteria against furfural and 2-furoic acid.

Photobiological $H_2$ production was compared using purple non-sulfur bacteria Rhodobacter sphaeroides KD131 in the medium containing various organic acids as the carbon source and electron doner under illumination of $110\;W/m^2$ using halogen lamp at $30^{\circ}C$. The organic acids used were 0~120 mM acetate, butyrate, lactate and malate. Initial pH 7.0 and cell concentration 1.0 at 660nm were increased to pH 8 and 4.4~5.1, respectively during 24hrs of photo-fermentation when lactate and malate were used. However, acetate and butyrate increased pH to 9 and cell concentration to 3.2~3.9 of malate at the same experimental conditions. Optimum ranges of organic acids concentration and carbon/nitrogen ratio were 30~60 mM and 10~20, respectively. When malate was used as the substrate, maximum $H_2$ production 1.1 ml $H_2$/ml broth, which is equivalent to 1.97 mol $H_2$/mol malate was observed.

TPH degrdation patterns in diesel contaminated soil was investigated with microwave radiation. When microwave radiation on the soil was applied, temperature increment of the aridic soil was quite low, but temperature in the moist soil was dramatically increased even if short period of running time. Up to 20% of the moisture content, the higher moisture content has more increment of temperature, whereas over 20% of the moisture content, temperature in the soil was rather decreased. when 100~700 W power of microwave radiation was applied into the contaminated soil, a lot of TPH removals was observed under 300 W, but negligible increment of TPH removal was detected over 300 W. 60% of TPH removal was achieved with initial 20% moisture content and microwave radiation. Additional 25% removal was accomplished when moisture content was kept constant during radiation period. It indicated that maintaining of constant moisture is an important factor for TPH removal with microwave radiation because moisture and temperature in the soil are decreased with reaction time.

The purpose of this study is to simulate the riverbed profile changes downstream of Daecheong re-regulation dam from 1988 to 2001, to evaluate the model's applicability and to predict a long-term riverbed-level variation between 2002 and 2017. As a result of simulation 14 sediment transport equations provided by GSTAR-1D, it was found that Acker's & White formula was the most stable relatively. The interval used to calculate its stability was 7 days for bankful discharge$(1,000m^2/s)$, 3 days for daily maximum flow$(4,273m^2/s)$, 1 day for hourly maximum flow$(7,605m^2/s)$ and minimum flow$(8.5m^2/s)$. The simulation results of river bed changes were evaluated and compared to its measure data from 1988 to 2001. It was showed that there was the degradation for a section between Daecheong re-regulation dam and Maepo water stage gage station due to bed-material, and the degradation for a reach between Maepo and Gongju water stage gage station due to massive aggregate collection. Also, as a result of simulating the river profile change for 2002 to 2017, it was predicted that the section between Daecheong re-regulation dam and Geumnam Bridge would remain as the present profile and the reach between Maepo and Gongju water stage gage station would have some degradations in several parts, which would be stable as a whole unless it was due to artificial river profile change.
