본 연구에서는 토지피복 중 교통지역을 대상으로 장기 모니터링된 비점오염원 부하유출 결과를 검 보정 자료로 적용하여 SWMM 모형을 지점별로 구축하였다. SWMM을 통해 모의된 EMCs값의 변동범위는 BOD, $COD_{Mn}$, SS, T-N, T-P 농도가 각각 5.7~14.4 mg/L, 12.9~59.6 mg/L, 13.74~46.20 mg/L, 2.03~5.21 mg/L, 그리고 0.117~0.415 mg/L이었다. 또 이 결과를 현장 실측치와 비교한 결과, 실측치에 대한 모의치 오차(%)가 각각 4.2%, 4.8%, 2.3%, 5.7%, 14.4%으로 총인의 14.4%를 제외하고 오차범위가 10% 이하이었다. 문헌조사 결과와의 비교에서도, BOD, T-P의 경우는 문헌조사 농도변화 범위 내에 포함되었으며, CODMn, SS의 경우 범위보다 낮게 산정되었다. 그러나 T-N의 경우 범위보다 높았다. 이러한 차이는 기존 문헌이 조사된 시기와 토지이용형태가 달라진 최근의 비점오염원 유출 농도를 장기 모니터링하고, 이 결과를 바탕으로 구축, 모의 된 EMCs의 경우 실측값을 잘 대변하였다. 따라서 문헌 결과와의 일부 차이는 조사 시기별 토지이용 형태에 의한 차이로 보이며, 향후 좀 더 다양한 강우사상 및 지점에 대한 모니터링을 통해 국내 대푯값으로 적용할 수 있는 EMCs를 산정할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

In order to fad the most fitted biodegradation model, biodegradation kinetics model to the initial phenol and p-cresot concentrations were investigated and had been fitted by the linear regression. Bacteria capable of degrading p-cresol were isolated from soil by enrichment culture technique. Among them, strain Ml capable of degradillg p.rcresol has also degraded phenal and was identified as the genus Micrococcus from the results from of taxonomical studies. The optimal tonditlons for the biodegradation of phenal and p-cresol by Micrococcus sp. Ml were $NH_4NO_3$ 0.05%, pH 7.0, 3$0^{\circ}C$, respectively, and medium volume 100m1/250m1 shaking flask. iwicrococcus sp. Ml was able to grow on phenal concentration up to 14mM and p-cresol concelltration up to 0.8mM. With increasing substrate concentraction, the lag period increased, but the maximum specific growth rates decreased. The yield coefficient decreased with increasing substrate concentation. The biodegradation kinetics of phenol and p-cresol were best described by Monod with growth model for every experimented concentration. In cultivation of mixed substrate, p-cresol was degraded first and phenol was second. This result implies that p-cresol and phenol was not degraded simultaneously.

Major factors inhibiting nonenzymatic browning in stored ginger paste were investigated using aqueous model systems with temperature, water activity, pH and sulfur compounds. Browning index and total gingerols were measured during storage. The rate of nonenzymatic browning reactions showed a strong depencence on temperature and pH and a negligible influence on water activity. It was also reduced by the addition of 0.04% N-actyl-L-cysteine(NAcCys), effectively. Activation energies for aqueous ginger model systems with and without 0.04% NAcCys were 29.0 and 25.8kcal/mole, respectively.

The adsorption characteristics of chromium (VI) and phosphate on calcined Mg-Al-$CO_3$ layered double hydroxides (CLDH) were investigated in single and binary systems. A series of batch experiments were performed to study the influence of various experimental parameters. In this study, CLDH exhibited a high adsorption capacity for Cr (VI) and P in a single system. The experimental data were close to the theoretical adsorption capacity given by the Langmuir isotherm, the calculating adsorption capacities of Cr (VI) and P were up to 70.42 mg/g and 97.09 mg/g, respectively. It was found that the initial pH was approximately 6 and it took 24 h to reach equilibrium when P and Cr (VI) were added simultaneously. The experimental data were best fitted by a pseudo-second-order kinetics model. Competitive adsorption between Cr (VI) and P existed in the binary system. The presence of Cr (VI) had no significant influence on P adsorption. However, the suppression of Cr (VI) adsorption was obvious when the initial concentration of P was up to 10 mg/L with a concentration of 0.5 g/L of CLDH.

Observations show that the accretion flows in low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (LLAGNs) probably have a two-component structure with an inner hot, optically thin, advection dominated accretion flow (ADAF) and an outer truncated cool, optically thick accretion disk. As shown by Taam et al. (2012), within the framework of the disk evaporation model, the truncation radius as a function of mass accretion rate is strongly affected by including the magnetic field. We define the parameter ${\beta}$ as $p_m=B^2/8{\pi}=(1-{\beta})p_{tot}$, (where $p_{tot}=p_{gas}+p_m$, $p_{gas}$ is gas pressure and $p_m$ is magnetic pressure) to describe the strength of the magnetic field in accretion flows. It is found that an increase of the magnetic field (decreasing the value of ${\beta}$) results in a smaller truncation radius for the accretion disk. We calculate the emergent spectrum of an inner ADAF + an outer truncated accretion disk around a supermassive black hole by considering the effects of the magnetic field on the truncation radius of the accretion disk. By comparing with observations, we found that a weaker magnetic field (corresponding to a bigger value of ${\beta}$) is required to match the observed correlation between $L_{2-10keV}/L_{Edd}$ and the bolometric correction $k_{2-10keV}$, which is consistent with the physics of the accretion flow with a low mass accretion rate around a black hole.

We examined whether several reeds, which are found around Ulsan area, could be used for downflow reed-bed to remove pollutants of sewage. Three kinds of reed, such as Phagnltes auspuis, ha orientdls, and Phduis aundinacea L., were collected from their habitats near the Taehwa River in Ulsan City. In the minimized model system of dowMlow reed-bed, P.auskdls appeared to reduce BOD more than others did but s119h11y Increase total amount of nitrogen(N). When p. auspdis were placed in the sterilized water. total nitrogen was found to be signincantly increased dependent on the number of experimental plant In the sterilized state, but it was rather decreased in the non-sterilized state. With these results, nlicroorganisms attached to p.auspuis roots can be thought to work for removal of pollutants. Therefore, these microorganisms and their habitat, p. auskdis reed bed, together can be used for sewage treatment It was suggested that oxygen Is produced by photosynthesis reaction of P ecustrdis. The increased oxygen may help microorganisms in their habitats to work on the removal of pollutants.

Parametric method of flood frequency analysis involves fitting of a probability distribution to observed flood data. When record length at a given site is relatively shorter and hard to apply the asymptotic theory, an alternative distribution to the generalized extreme value (GEV) distribution is often used. In this study, we consider the beta-P distribution (BPD) as an alternative to the GEV and other well-known distributions for modeling extreme events of small or moderate samples as well as highly skewed or heavy tailed data. The L-moments ratio diagram shows that special cases of the BPD include the generalized logistic, three-parameter log-normal, and GEV distributions. To estimate the parameters in the distribution, the method of moments, L-moments, and maximum likelihood estimation methods are considered. A Monte-Carlo study is then conducted to compare these three estimation methods. Our result suggests that the L-moments estimator works better than the other estimators for this model of small or moderate samples. Two applications to the annual maximum stream flow of Colorado and the rainfall data from cloud seeding experiments in Southern Florida are reported to show the usefulness of the BPD for modeling hydrologic events. In these examples, BPD turns out to work better than $beta-{\kappa}$, Gumbel, and GEV distributions.

This study aimed to investigate the melanogenesis inhibitory activity of epicatechin-3-O-gallate (ECG) isolated from Polygonum amphibium L. ECG was isolated from the ethanol extract of P. amphibium L, and its chemical structure was determined using spectroscopic methods such as LC-ESI-MS, 1D-NMR, and UV spectroscopy. ECG inhibited the melanogenesis of B16F10 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Particularly, it decreased the melanin content by 27.4% at 200 µM concentration, compared with the control, in B16F10 cells, without causing cytotoxicity. It is noteworthy that the expression of three key proteins, including tyrosinase, tyrosinase-related protein-1 (TRP-1), TRP-2, and microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF), involved in melanogenesis, is significantly inhibited by ECG. The ECG isolated in this study caused the inhibition of body pigmentation and tyrosinase activity in vivo in the zebrafish model. These results suggest that the ECG isolated from P. amphibium L. is an effective anti-melanogenesis agent.

Salmonella spp. are gram-negative flagellated bacteria that cause a variety of diseases in humans and animals, ranging from mild gastroenteritis to severe systemic infection. To explore development of a potent vaccine against Salmonella infections, the gene encoding outer membrane protein L (ompL) was inserted into the swinepox virus (SPV) genome by homologous recombination. PCR, western blot, and immunofluorescence assays were used to verify the recombinant swinepox virus rSPV-OmpL. The immune responses and protection efficacy of rSPV-OmpL were assessed in a mouse model. Forty mice were assigned to four groups, which were immunized with rSPV-OmpL, inactive Salmonella (positive control), wild-type SPV (wtSPV; negative control), or PBS (challenge control), respectively. The OmpL-specific antibody in the rSPV-OmpL-immunized group increased dramatically and continuously over time post-vaccination, and was present at a significantly higher level than in the positive control group (p < 0.05). The concentrations of IFN-γ and IL-4, which represent Th1-type and Th2-type cytokine responses, were significantly higher (p < 0.05) in the rSPV-OmpL-vaccinated group than in the other three groups. After intraperitoneal challenge with a lethal dose of Salmonella typhimurium CVCC542, eight out of ten mice in the rSPV-OmpL-vaccinated group were protected, whereas all the mice in the negative control and challenge control groups died within 3 days. Passive immune protection assays showed that hyperimmune sera against OmpL could provide mice with effective protection against challenge from S. typhimurium. The recombinant swinepox virus rSPV-OmpL might serve as a promising vaccine against Salmonella infection.

본 연구에서는 소나무 종류인 Pinus densiflora로부터 채취한 수피를 이용하여 수용액으로부터 구리 제거를 위한 회분식 흡착 실험을 수행하였다. 구리 흡착에 수피의 화학적 처리가 미치는 효과를 알아보기 위해 1 N 수산화나트륨(NaOH)과 1 N 염산(HCl)을 이용하여 전처리하였다. 구리 농도가 100 mg/L이고 pH가 $3\sim6$인 수용액에서 수산화나트륨(NaOH)을 이용한 수피의 화학적 전처리는 구리의 흡착량을 $139\sim184%$ 정도 증가시키는 효과를 나타냈으나, 염산(HCl)을 이용한 수피의 전처리는 구리의 흡착량을 $37\sim42%$ 정도 감소시키는 효과를 나타냈다. 대체적으로 수피에 의한 구리 흡착은 pH $5\sim6$에서 최대 흡착량을 나타내기는 하였으나, 주어진 pH 범위내에서 수용액의 pH가 구리 흡착에 미치는 효과는 크지 않았다. 수피의 구리 흡착은 유사 2차 동역학 모델로 설명이 가능하였으며, 수산화나트륨(NaOH)으로 전처리한 수피의 경우 초기 농도가 100 mg/L에서 2배로 증가함에 따라 유사 2차 동역학 모델식으로부터 계산된 흡착량$(q_e)$은 6.58 mg/g에서 12.77 mg/g로 증가한 반면에 속도 상수$(k_2)$는 0.284 g/mg/min에서 0.014 g/mg/min으로 감소하였다. 수피의 구리 흡착특성은 Langmuir와 Freundlich 등온식에 의해 모두 잘 표현되는 것으로 나타났다. 수피에 존재하는 카르복실산(carboxylic acid, RCOOH)이 구리 이온의 흡착에 관여하는 것이 확인되었으며, 특히 수산화나트륨을 이용하여 전처리한 수피에서 나타나는 구리의 높은 흡착효율은 수피에 존재한 에스테르(ester) 화합물과 카르복실산(carboxylic acid) 화합물이 가수분해되어 생성된 카르복실산 염(sodium carboxylate) 때문인 것으로 판단되었다.
