To investigate the applicability of montmorillonite to capping material for the remediation of contaminated marine sediment, adsorption characteristics of $PO{_4}{^{3-}}$ onto montmorillonite were studied in a batch system with respect to changes in contact time, initial concentration, pH, adsorbent dose amount, competing anions, adsorbent mixture, and seawater. Sorption equilibrium reached in 1 h at 50 mg/L but 3 h was required to reach sorption equilibrium at 300 mg/L. Freundlich model was more suitable to describe equilibrium sorption data than Langmuir model. The $PO{_4}{^{3-}}$ adsorption decreased as pH increased, due to the $PO{_4}{^{3-}}$ competition for favorable adsorption site with OH- at higher pH. The presence of anions such as nitrate, sulfate, and bicarbonate had no significant effect on the $PO{_4}{^{3-}}$ adsorption onto the montmorillonite. The use of the montmorillonite alone was more effective for the removal of the $PO{_4}{^{3-}}$ than mixing the montmorillonite with red mud and steel slag. The $PO{_4}{^{3-}}$ adsorption capacity of the montmorillonite was higher in seawater than deionized water, resulting from the presence of calcium ion in seawater. The water tank elution experiments showed that montmorillonite capping blocked well the elution of $PO{_4}{^{3-}}$, which was not measured up to 14 days. It was concluded that the montmirillonite has a potential capping material for the removal of the $PO{_4}{^{3-}}$ from the aqueous solutions.

GDD models of corn were developed in bare soil, while sweet and super sweet corns are grown under black polyethylene (P. E.) film mulch in Korea. To develop a suitable GDD model under black P. E. film mulch, a super sweet com hybrid "Cambella-90" was planted from 1 April to 30 June in 2003 at the 10-day intervals under black P. E. film mulch and in bare soil. In bare soil the best GDD model was $GDD\;=\;{\sum}[H"+L')/2\;-\;10^{\circ}C]$, where H" was daily maximum temperature but is was substituted for $30^{\circ}C$ - (daily maximum temperature - $30^{\circ}C$) when higher than $30^{\circ}C$ and L' was daily minimum temperature, but it was substituted for $10^{\circ}C$ when lower than $10^{\circ}C$. The same GDD model could be adapted for com grown under black P. E. film mulch, but base temperature was substituted for $9^{\circ}C$. To determine planting date for the scheduled harvests, accumulated GDDs were calculated using 30-year average temperature data during the growing season. Under black P. E. film mulch planting dates were determined by subtracting GDD of the hybrid, $970^{\circ}C$, from accumulated GDD of scheduled harvest dates.

The sewage treatment plants to be built to improve the water quality of the Mankyung River will total 11, of which combined capacity will reach $39,850m^3/day$, and saying in detail, 5 at Gunsan city, 2 at Iksan city, 1 at Kimje city and 3 at Wanju gun, The scenario for water quality improvement was developed, considering the conditions of plant operation ratio and the accomplishment of the water quality target (BOD 4.4 mg/L, T-P 0.356 mg/L) at the end of the watershed of Mankyung B was predicted, making use of QUAL2E model. As a result of prediction using QUAL2E model based on scenarios with 70% and 100% of operation ratio, respectively, at 11 plants in 2010, the water quality at the watershed of Mankyung B was estimated at 4.322 mg/L which was lower than the target of BOD 4.4 mg/L, indicating the target water quality was achieved, when it comes to 70% of operation ratio, But in case of T-P, it was estimated at 0.565 mg/L, which was higher than the target. When it comes to 100% of operation ratio, T-P also was 0.563 mg/L which exceeded the target, 0.356 mg/L. As indicated above, the effect of water quality improvement appeared very insignificant, which was attributable to the limit of small scale sewage treatment plant in total reduction capacity. Hence, the measures for additional reduction in a bid to achieve the target water quality of T-P at the designated location need to be taken, and the measures to build the Sewage treatment facilities at the place where the pollution is significantly caused by T-P appeared to be required as well.

The objectives of the study were to analyze chemical water quality and physical habitat characteristics in the urban streams (Miho and Gap streams) along with evaluations of fish community structures and ecosystem health, throughout fish composition and guild analyses during 2006$\sim$2007. Concentrations of BOD and COD averaged 3.5 and 5.7 mg L$^{-1}$, in the urban streams, while TN and TP averaged 5.1 mg L$^{-1}$ and 274 ${\mu}g$ L$^{-1}$, indicating an eutrophic state. Especially, organic pollution and eutrophication were most intense in the downstream reach of both streams. Total number of fish was 34 species in the both streams, and the most abundant species was Zacco platypus (32$\sim$42% of the total). In both streams, the relative abundance of sensitive species was low (23%) and tolerant and omnivores were high (45%, 52%), indicating an typical tolerance and trophic guilds of urban streams in Korea. According to multi-metric models of Stream Ecosystem Health Assessments (SEHA), model values were 19 and 24 in Miho Stream and Gap Stream, respectively. Habitat analysis showed that QHEI (Qulatitative Habitat Evaluation Index) values were 123 and 135 in the two streams, respectively. The minimum values in the SEHA and QHEI were observed in the both downstreams, and this was mainly attributed to chemical pollutions, as shown in the water quality parameters. The model values of SEHA were strongly correlated with conductivity (r=-0.530, p=0.016), BOD (r=-0.578, p< 0.01), COD (r=-0.603, p< 0.01), and nutrients (TN, TP: r>0.40, p<0.05). This model applied in this study seems to be a useful tool, which could reflect the chemical water quality in the urban streams. Overall, this study suggests that consistent ecological monitoring is required in the urban streams for the conservations along with ecological restorations in the degradated downstrems.

The recent trend in multiple-use land management planning is using Model I and Model II formulations designed for timber activity scheduling problems. Numerous models hate been developed, with MUSYC(Johnson and Jones, 1979) being the first to incorporate both model structures. Currently the most popular computer program using both Model I and Model II is FORPLAN(Johnson and others, 1986). A Model I formulation requires fewer rows and provides more direct information on what happens to an acre from rotation to rotation. In some problems, Model II provides a much more compact problem matrix with much fewer columns and only a moderate increase in row number. In this paper we examined and evaluated their usefulness in comprehensive multiresource forest management planning.

In this study, a new design method of Pile-Bent structure considering plastic hinge was proposed on the basis of the beam-column model. To obtain the detailed informations, the optimized cross-section ratio between column and pile was analyzed to induce the plastic hinge at the joint section between the pile and column. Base on this study, the optimized diameter ratio of pile and column can be obtained below the inflection point of the bi-linear curve depending on the relations between column-pile diameter ratio ($D_c/D_p$) and normalized lateral cracking load ratio ($F/F_{Dc=Dp}$). Moreover, through comparisons with field cases to find out in-depth limit in which minimum concrete-steel ratio could be applied, in-depth limits ($L_{As=0.4%}$) normalized by the pile length ($L_p$) proportionally decrease as the pile length ($L_p/D_p$)increases up to $L_p/D_p=17.5$, and beyond that in-depth limit converges to a constant value (${\simeq}0.3$).

현재 새만금 호 내로 유입되는 만경, 동진강 유역은 대규모 관개시스템을 통해 하천수의 대부분을 농업용수로 취수하고 있어 하천의 건천화가 심화되고 이에 따라 수질관리와 수생태계 보전에 어려움이 있다. 또한 새만금호는 방조제 완공 이후 배수갑문을 통한 해수유통이 줄어들어 호 내중 하류부에만 영향을 미치고 상류부인 만경, 동진강의 유입부는 유입되는 유량과 오염부하량의 지배적인 영향을 받는다. 이러한 새만금유역과 호에 대해 적정수질유지 및 합리적인 수질관리 대책 수립이 중요하며, 이를 위하여 상류하천 및 새만금호의 주요 지점에 대한 지속적인 모니터링 및 유역과 수역의 기작 등을 합리적으로 구현할 수 있는 수질예측 모델을 구축, 운영 할 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 새만금유역에 대해 SWAT모형을 적용시켜 자료를 구축하였고, 그 결과를 토대로 3차원 수리?수질모델인 EFDC를 이용하여 2020년 호 내 수질을 모의하였다. 또한 제수문 방류조건(1cms방류, 65%방류, 전량방류)에 따른 수질 변화를 모의하여 호 내 수질변화와 영향범위를 추정하였다. 제수문에서의 1cms방류조건과 전량방류조건을 모의하여 연평균 농도를 비교 한 결과 M3지점에 서 COD 1.304mg/L 감소, T-N 1.207mg/L 감소, T-P 0.08mg/L 감소, Chl-a $5.095mg/m^3$ 감소, D3지점에서 COD 0.492mg/L 감소, T-N 0.205mg/L 감소, T-P 0.009mg/L 감소, Chl-a $2.117mg/m^3$ 감소하는 것으로 예측되어 수질이 개선되는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 만경강과 동진강 제수문의 증가된 방류량으로 인해 유황이 개선되고 호 내 오염부하농도가 감소하는 것으로 판단된다. 방류조건별 영향범위를 살펴본 결과, 65%방류조건에서는 호 내 상류구간에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났고, 전량방류조건에서는 호 내 중?상류구간이 지배적인 영향범위로 평가되었다. 따라서 유역 내 제수문 관리를 통한 방류량 조정은 새만금호의 효과적인 수질관리에 기여 할 것으로 예상되며, 향후 제수문의 체계화된 운영방안 수립대책이 필요하다.

The removal of chlorine from aqueous solutions on dried Chlorella vulgaris(DCV) and green tea powder(GTP) were investigated as a function of contact time, pH and initial chlorine concentration. Removal by DCV and GTP reached equilibrium after 3hrs and 0.5hr, respectively. Optimum removal pH values of DCV and GTP were determined as above 10. Both Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption models were suitable for describing the short-term removal of chlorine by DCV and GTP. According to Langmuir adsorption isotherms the maximum removal capacity of DCV (2.75mg $Cl_2/mg$) was nearly two times greater than those of GTP (1.53mg $Cl_2/mg$) and activated carbon (1.47mg $Cl_2/mg$). These results suggested that Chlorella vulgaris biomass might potentially be used as an alternative to traditional water treatment materials for removal of residual chlorine in drinking water or process waste-water.

대청호 수질관리를 위한 대책 수립시 상류유역의 유출 및 오염부하배출 특성을 평가하는 것이 중요하다. 유역의 수환경 영향을 평가하기 위해서 복잡한 수문 수질 모델을 이용하는데 사용자 편의성을 고려한 모델 개발과 이용이 필요하다. L-THIA ArcView GIS 모형은 토지이용도, 토양도, 일강우 자료만으로 직접유출의 모의가 가능하여 전 세계적으로 널리 이용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 L-THIA ArcView GIS 모형을 이용하여 대청호 상류유역인 안내천, 월외천 유역의 직접유출 및 비점오염 배출부하 특성을 평가하였다. 직접 유출량 평가 결과, 결정계수($R^2$)와 유효지수(EI)가 월외천 유역 및 안내천 유역에서 각각 0.95, 0.93 및 0.81, 0.71로 나타나, L-THIA ArcView GIS 모형이 실측치를 잘 재현하는 것으로 나타났다. 강우유출수에 포함된 SS 및 T-P 오염부하량 평가결과, 결정계수($R^2$)가 월외천 유역과 안내천 유역에서 각각 0.53, 0.95 및 0.89, 0.89로 평가되었다. 또한 유효지수(EI)가 월외천 유역과 안내천 유역에서 각각 0.44, 0.95 및 0.98, 0.99로 평가되었다. SS 부하량 평가 결과에서 월외천 유역이 안내천 유역보다 정확성이 낮은 것은 지역특성에 따라 SS 부하량 차이가 크기 때문이다. 따라서 L-THIA ArcView GIS 모형의 지속적인 개선이 이루어진다면 대청호 만입부 상류유역에서의 각종 수질관리대책 평가에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Direct numerical simulations (DNS) of turbulent channel flow for which the drag is reduced by using polymer additives have been performed by a pseudo-spectral method. The Reynolds number based on the friction velocity and half-channel height is 395, and the polymeric stresses due to the polymer additives are evaluated using the FENE-P (finitely extensible nonlinear elastic-Peterlin) model. The numerical results show that the drag reduction rate is significantly affected by the parameters used in the FENE-P model, such as the maximum extensibility and relaxation time of the polymer molecules. The turbulence data for both low- and high-drag reduction regimes are analyzed. In addition, the effects of FENE-P model parameters on the flow characteristics have been investigated for the same drag reduction rate due to the polymer additives. Finally, the present DNS results have been used to verify the correlation between rheological parameters and the extent of drag reduction, which was suggested by Li et al. (2006).
