본 연구에서는 water/oil 유화연료를 제조하여 제조된 연료의 점도, 밀도, 최적의 조사시간, 유화 안정성 등의 유화연료 특성 및 배기배출물 특성인 NOx, THC, CO의 농도와 smoke density를 측정하였다. 유화연료는 경유, 물, 유화제를 첨가한 후 homogenizer와 초음파 발생장치를 일정시간 조사하여 제조하였고, 배출가스 시험은 2476 cc diesel engine을 사용하여 engine dinamo meter로 실험하였다. 유화연료에서 함수율이 증가할수록 밀도가 증가하였으며, 점도는 함수율 60%까지는 W/O type이 형성되어 증가하다가 70%에서는 O/W type이 형성되어 감소하였다. 배출가스 시험결과 함수율이 증가할수록 NOx 농도와 smoke density는 감소하고, THC와 CO 농도는 증가하였다. 출력감소 시험 결과 함수율이 증가할수록 배출온도와 출력이 감소하였다. 위의 결과로부터 압축착화 디젤기관에 유화연료를 사용하는 것은 NOx와 smoke를 제거하는 효과적인 방법이라고 사료되어진다.

To know if small changes in rearing water temperature and density affect the number of bacterial and fungal colonies in metamorphosed frogs, Dybowski's frog tadpoles were reared from Gosner 25-26 stages at either low ($1^{\circ}C$ low to ambient water temperature), ambient, or high ($1^{\circ}C$ high) water temperature (each 15 tadpoles in 20 L water) condition and at either low (10 tadpoles/20 L water), medium (20 tadpoles), or high (30 tadpoles) density condition. Immediately after metamorphosis, we sampled bacteria and fungi from skin, liver, and heart of six metamorphosed frogs, randomly selected for each treatment group. After separate incubation of bacteria and fungi on 3M Petrifilm plates, we counted the number of bacterial and fungal colonies appeared on the plates and compared the numbers among the temperature and density treatment groups. For temperature treatment, high-temperature group had fewer bacterial colonies, while low-temperature group had more fungal colonies than the other two groups. For density treatment, low-density group had fewer bacterial colonies than the other two groups, but the number of fungal colonies were not different among the groups. Our results suggest that small increased rearing water temperature and lowered rearing density could potentially reduce pathogens in farming frogs.

The productivity of ultra-small rotifer, Synchaeta kitina was investigated at the exchange rate of culture water (10, 20, 30, 40 and 50%) and initial inoculation densities (250, 600 and 900 inds. per mL) in semi-continuous culture. Also, the possibility of mass culture was investigated in a 100 L culture tank. Tetraselmis suecica was used as the feed for S. kitina in all experiments. The production of S. kitina increased with an increase in exchange rate of culture water. The highest production ($82.0{\times}10^5$ inds.) was achieved at 40% exchange rate of culture water. The production of S. kitina increased with an increase of initial inoculation density during the first week and the highest total production ($17.4{\times}10^6$ inds.) was achieved at 900 inds. per mL of initial inoculation density. However, on the second week, all treatments were not significantly different in total production (P>0.05). During the two weeks, total production of S. kitina at 900 inds. per mL of initial inoculation density was higher than at 600 inds. of initial inoculation density, but there was no significant difference (P>0.05). In the 100 L culture tank, density of S. kitina was kept from 516 to 890 inds. per mL and S. kitina was daily harvested $15.5{\times}10^6$ to $26.7{\times}10^6$ during the experimental period. The production cost for 100 million rotifers in semi-continuous culture was 63,656 won. The results from this study indicate that the optimal exchange rate of culture water and initial inoculation density for the semi-continuous culture of ultra-small rotifer, S. kitina are 40% and 600 inds. per mL, respectively.

댐 저수지 수위는 댐 운영에 있어서 핵심적인 수문자료라고 할 수 있다. 댐 저수위를 이용하여 저수량을 산정하기도 하고 가뭄 및 홍수 등 재해에 대비하기도 한다. 그러나 저수위는 댐 부근에서만 계측되어 넓은 면적을 가지는 저수지를 대표하기 어렵고 댐 부근은 방류 등의 영향으로 수면이 왜곡될 가능성이 높다. 또한 조사 결과 저수지 수면은 일정하지 않고 불규칙하며 구간별로 하강과 상승을 반복하는 것으로 나타났다. 이렇게 복잡하고 불규칙한 지수지의 대표 저수위 산정을 위해서 저수지 수위 관측밀도를 높여야 하며 본 연구에서는 화천댐에 대하여 최적의 수위 관측밀도를 도출하고자 하였다. 종방향으로 조사된 저수지 수면 표고를 통계분석하여 저수위 계측 적정 개소수를 도출하였다. 저수지 규모 별로 관측 밀도가 다르게 나타날 수 있어 괴산댐과 보성강댐에 대해서 같은 분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과 화천댐은 4개소, 괴산댐은 3개소, 보성강댐은 7개소의 관측밀도가 필요한 것으로 분석되었다.

Globalization, industrialization, mining, and uncontrolled population growth have fostered a shortage of potable water. Therefore, it has become imperative to understand an effective and reasonable water purification technique. A renewed interest in electrocoagulation (EC) has been spurred by the search for reliable, cost-effective, water-treatment processes. This paper has elucidated a technical approach for getting rid of heavy metals and total suspended solids (TSS) from synthetic water using an aluminum electrode. The effect of operational parameters, such as current density, inter-electrode distance, operating time, and pH, were studied and evaluated for maximum efficiency. This study corroborates the correlation between current density and removal efficiency. Neutral pH and a low electrode gap have been found to aid the efficacy of the EC setup. The outcome indicates that a maximum TSS removal efficiency of 76.6% occurred at a current density of $5.3mA/cm^2$ during a contact time of 30 min. In the case of heavy metals remediation, 40 min of process time exhibited extremely reduced rates of 99%, 59.2%, and 82.1%, for Cu, Cr, and Zn, respectively. Moreover, kinetic study has also demonstrated that pollutants removal follows first-and second-order model with current density and EC time being dependent.

Investigation on the compressibility and shear strength of compacted loess is of great importance for the design and operation of engineering infrastructures in filling area. In this study, the mechanical behaviors of Yan'an compacted loess are investigated at various dry densities and water contents by conducting one dimensional compression and direct shear tests. And the elastic compressibility, plastic compressibility, yield stress and strength are obtained from the experiments. Results show that when water content increases, plastic compressibility parameter increases, but yield stress decreases. However, the increase of dry density leads to a decrease in plastic compressibility parameter but an increase in yield stress. In addition, elastic compressibility parameter is found to be a constant which is irrelevant to water content and dry density. As for strength, cohesion and internal friction angle is directly proportional to dry density, but inversely proportional to water content. Moreover, the mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) tests were also performed to observe the pore size distribution and microstructure of the specimens. Finally, by using results of MIP and SEM tests, the compressibility and strength behaviours of Yan'an compacted loess are explained from the perspective of pore-size distribution and microstructure.

Reliable long-term streamflow forecasting is invaluable for water resource planning and management which allocates water supply according to the demand of water users. It is necessary to get probabilistic forecasts to establish risk-based reservoir operation policies. Probabilistic forecasts may be useful for the users who assess and manage risks according to decision-making responding forecasting results. Probabilistic forecasting of seasonal inflow to Andong dam is performed and assessed using selected predictors from sea surface temperature and 500 hPa geopotential height data. Categorical probability forecast by Piechota's method and logistic regression analysis, and probability forecast by conditional probability density function are used to forecast seasonal inflow. Kernel density function is used in categorical probability forecast by Piechota's method and probability forecast by conditional probability density function. The results of categorical probability forecasts are assessed by Brier skill score. The assessment reveals that the categorical probability forecasts are better than the reference forecasts. The results of forecasts using conditional probability density function are assessed by qualitative approach and transformed categorical probability forecasts. The assessment of the forecasts which are transformed to categorical probability forecasts shows that the results of the forecasts by conditional probability density function are much better than those of the forecasts by Piechota's method and logistic regression analysis except for winter season data.

Water parsley(Oenanthe javanica(Blume) DC) was raised with varying population density(S) in the laboratory aquarium unit to determine the growth equation. The population density was measure after 7 days. The resultant growth curve was well fit to the equation 1/S = A+B (1/S0) with a high correlation coefficient ($R^2$ = 0.999). The maximum specific absorption rate was $9.011 \times 10^{-5}$ kg $NO_x-N/kg$ water parsley$\cdot$day and $1.31 \times 10^{-5}$ kg $PO_4-P/kg$ water parsley$\cdot$day when the average population density was $2.62 kg/m^2$. The relationship between population density and nutrient absorption rate, the absorption rate of $NO_x-N$ was 5.04~5.24 mg/l$\cdot$day when the population density was $7.51~10.0 $mg/m^2\cdot day$ and the absorption rate of $PO_4-P$ was 0.56~0.78 mg/l$\cdot$day when the population density was 5.02~10.0 $kg/m^2\cdot day$. Taking into account the nutrient absorption rate and growth rate, the population density between $7.0 kg/m^2\cdot day$ and $8.0 kg/m^2 \cdot day$ was selected. The removal rate of nutrient was investigated after 7 days culture. Removal rate of $NO_x-N$ was 95.6~99.95% with initial concentration of 35 mg $NO_x-N/l$, and the removal rate of $PO_4-P$ was also high, indicating 80.24~98.9% with initial concentration of 5.95 mg $PO_x-P/l$.

팔당호 연안대에서 수심에 따른 줄(Zizania latifolia) 개체군의 저토 환경, 경엽부의 밀도, 높이 및 현존량을 조사하였다. 저토의 pH, 유기물함량, 총질소량, 유호태 인량 및 치환성 칼륨량은 수심에 따른 유의한 차이가 없었으나, 모래 함량은 수심이 깊을수록 적었다. 줄 경엽부의 밀도는 수심이 깊을수록 경엽부의 키가 높았고 경엽무 하나의 건물량과 단위면적당 현존량이 많았다. 경엽무 높이의 빈도분포는 줄이 생장함에 따라서 J자형과 첨두형으로 변하였으며, 높이의 불균등도는 감소하였는데, 그 변화는 수심이 깊은 곳에서 보다 빨리 일어났다. 따라서 줄은 수심이 깊을수록 경엽부의 밀도가 낮아지고, 그 높이와 현존량이 증가하여 수면 위로 경엽부를 돌출시키는 생장전략을 가지는 것으로 해석된다.

Three kinds of experiments were conducted to test existing methods and develop an effective methodology for the remediation of DNAPL trapped in vertical dead-end fractures. A water-flushing method failed to remove TCE from vertical dead-end fractures where no fluid flow occurs. A water-flushing experiment implies that existing remediation methods, utilizing water-based remedial fluid such as surfactant-enhanced method, have difficulty in removing DNAPL trapped from the vertical downward dead-end fractures, because of no water flow through dead-end fractures, capillary, and gravity forces. Fluid denser than TCE was injected into the fracture network, but did not displace TCE from the vertical dead-end fractures. Base(B on the analysis of the experiments, the increase in the density of the dense fluid and the addition of surfactant to the dense fluid were suggested, and this composite dense fluid with surfactant effectively removed TCE from the vertical dead-end fractures.
