In recent geotechnical engineering, geothermal approach has been on the horizon to deal with geoenvironmental issues, freezing and thawing problems, and seepage phenomenon in dams and embankments. In this study, geothermal characteristic through inner body of dams and its influence on the seepage flow were experimented by lab test and field instrumentation. Also, one of up-to-date temperature monitoring technique, called as multi-channel thermal line sensing, was evaluated its availability. As a result of lab test, it is found that the seepage flow has influence on the geothermal characteristic and a potential of finding phreatic line and seepage fluctuation could be possible by continuous temperature monitoring using thermal line sensing skills. These kine of geothermal information could be available to the modelling of water geo-structure interaction. Out of short-term field tests, clear water table and temperature distribution of a dam were easily found through temperature monitoring in holes located near a reservoir and holes within a depth of constant temperature layer. However, it is also found that the geothermal flow and finding seepage line could not be easily understandable through multi-channel temperature monitoring because of the existence of constant temperature field, thermal conductivity of soils and rocks, and unsaturated characteristics of geo-material. In this case, long-term geothermal monitoring is recommended to find sudden fluctuation of seepage line and amount of leakage.

현재 각 지자체가 생산 공급하는 수돗물의 생산비와 가격에 관해서는 지자체별 격차가 매우 크다는 것과, 공급 가격이 생산단가보다 상당한 정도로 낮아 수도사업의 만성적인 적자 원인이 된다는 점이 비교적 널리 알려져 있다. 본고는 수도산업의 이러한 특성 가운데 특히 생산비와 가격의 지자체별 격차가 발생하는 주원인이 무엇인지를 획득할 수 있는 자료를 이용해 통계적으로 규명하고자 하였다. 본고는 2000년~2007년간의 패널자료를 이용하여 각 지자체별 특성이 수돗물의 생산비와 가격에 미치는 영향을 계량분석하였고, 확률효과와 고정효과 추정법을 모두 사용하고, 설명변수 중 일부가 내생성을 가질 수 있는 문제까지도 고려하였다. 추정결과에 의하면, 급수인구 규모, 상수도 보급률, 유수율, 누수율, 원정수 구입여부, 보조금 규모, 그리고 모형에 따라서는 고도정수 여부 등이 통계적으로 신뢰할 수 있는 정도로 수돗물 생산비와 가격에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나다났다. 그러나 "상수도통계"에서 동일하게 중요한 변수로 집계되고 있는 변수들이지만 도수관 길이, 부채액, 면적 등의 변수가 수돗물 가격이나 비용에 미치는 영향의 통계적 신뢰도는 낮은 것으로 나타났다.

The downstream submergence damages caused during the flood season in 2020, around the Yongdam-dam and five other sites, were analyzed using related dam management data. Hourly- and daily-data were collected from public national websites and to conduct various analyses, such as autocorrelation, partial-correlation, stationary test, trend test, Granger causality, Rescaled analysis, and principal statistical analysis, to find the cause of the catastrophic damages in 2020. The damage surrounding the Yongdam-dam in 2020 was confirmed to be caused by mis-management of the flood season water level. A similar pattern was found downstream of the Namgang- and Hapcheon-dams, however the damage caused via discharges from these dams in same year is uncertain. Conversely, a different pattern from that of the Yongdam-dam was seen in the areas downstream of Sumjingang- and Daecheongdams, in which the management of the flood season water level appeared appropriate and hence, the damages is assumed to have occurred via the increase in the absolute discharge amount from the dams and flood control capacity leakage of the downstream river. Because of the non-stationarity of the management data, we adapted the wavelet transform analysis to observe the behaviors of the dam management data in detail. Based on the results, an increasing trend in the discharge amount was observed from the dams after the year 2000, which may serve as a warning about similar trends in the future. Therefore, additional and continuous research on downstream safety against dam discharges is necessary.

A necessity for infants, diapers are not only used over long durations, but are also in direct contact to the infants' skin, making the choice of diaper to be of utmost importance. Current interest in cloth diapers is rapidly increasing because of issues concerning the baby's health, green environment, and economy. However, previous researches on cloth diapers are limited to simply investigating the form and material of commercial cloth diapers. There are few in-depth researches for the optimal cloth diaper development. This is therefore a fundamental research for the development of optimized cloth diapers, and analyzes the difference in absorption depending on the placement of seam line (liner, darts, and I pattern), the locations of liquid spraying (1 cm and 8 cm ahead of the center), and the amount of liquid capacity (10 and 20 ml). Currently, the development of diaper patterns considers the crotch shape of the infants and the skin length deformation. As a result, in the case of the I-pattern, the horizontal seam line prevents water from spreading to the front and back, thus reducing the absorbed area. This result was more clearly visible when water was sprayed at the center. The effect of the seam line became more obvious when there was more water (20 ml); also, when water was sprayed at the center, more leakage was observed. Using the results of this research, implementation of horizontal seam is expected to prevent the upward spread of urine.

Porous materials play a vital role in science and technology. The ability to control their pore structures at the atomic, molecular, and nanometer scales enable interactions with atoms, ions and molecules to occur throughout the bulk of the material, for practical applications. Three-dimensional (3D) porous carbon-based materials (e.g., graphene aerogels/hydrogels, sponges and foams) made of graphene or graphene oxide-based networks have attracted considerable attention because they offer low density, high porosity, large surface area, excellent electrical conductivity and stable mechanical properties. Water pollution and associated environmental issues have become a hot topic in recent years. Rapid industrialization has led to a massive increase in the amount of wastewater that industries discharge into the environment. Water pollution is caused by oil spills, heavy metals, dyes, and organic compounds released by industry, as well as via unpredictable accidents. In addition, water pollution is also caused by radionuclides released by nuclear disasters or leakage. This review presents an overview of the state-of-the-art synthesis methodologies of 3D porous graphene materials and highlights their synthesis for environmental applications. The various synthetic methods used to prepare these 3D materials are discussed, particularly template-free self-assembly methods, and template-directed methods. Some key results are summarized, where 3D graphene materials have been used for the adsorption of dyes, heavy metals, and radioactive materials from polluted environments.

The extreme 2017 spring drought affected a large portion of South Korea in the Southern Gyeonggi-do and Chungcheongnam-do districts. This drought event was one of the climatologically driest spring seasons over the 1961-2016 period of record. It was characterized by exceptionally low reservoir water levels, with the average water level being 36% lower over most of western South Korea. In this study, we consider drought response methods to alleviate the shortage of agricultural water in times of drought. It could be to store water from a stream into a reservoir. There is a cyclical method for reusing water supplied from a reservoir into streams through drainage. We intended to present a decision-making plan for water supply based on the calculation of the quantity of water supply and leakage. We compared the rainfall-runoff equation with the TANK model, which is a long-term run-off model. Estimations of reservoir inflow during non-irrigation seasons applied to the Madun, Daesa, and Pungjeon reservoirs. We applied the run-off flow to the last 30 years of rainfall data to estimate reservoir storage. We calculated the available water in the river during the non-irrigation season. The daily average inflow from 2003 to 2018 was calculated from October to April. Simulation results show that an average of 67,000 tons of water is obtained during the non-irrigation season. The report shows that about 53,000 tons of water are available except during the winter season from December to February. The Madun Reservoir began in early October with a 10 percent storage rate. In the starting ratio, a simulated rate of 4 K, 6 K, and 8 K tons is predicted to be 44%, 50%, and 60%. We can estimate the amount of water needed and the timing of water pump operations during the non-irrigation season that focuses on fresh water reservoirs and improve decision making for efficient water supplies.

기후변화, 인구증가 및 경제발전으로 도시물순환시스템 내 용수 수요량과 물 이용에 필요한 에너지는 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 따라서 도시물순환시스템을 효율적으로 관리하기 위해 물 부문만을 고려하는 전통적인 방식을 벗어나 물과 에너지 부문 간 상승효과와 상충관계를 고려하는 넥서스 접근법이 주목받기 시작하였다. 이러한 넥서스 방법론을 적용하여 도시물순환시스템이 에너지 집약적인 시스템임을 증명하고, 에너지 원단위로 표현되는 물-에너지 효율 관계를 분석하며, 기후(장기 기후변동, 가뭄, 유형), 지리적 특징(표고차, 평지비, 위치), 시스템 특징(총급수량, 인구, 인구밀도, 관로연장) 및 운영관리 현황(상수관망 수압, 누수율, 물절약)이 미치는 영향을 규명하고자 하는 연구들이 수행되어왔다. 그러나 이를 통해 도시물순환시스템 관리자에게 정책 및 제도의 방향을 제시할 수 있으나 구체적인 정책을 수립하고 시행하는 데 한계가 있었다. 본 연구에서는 기존에 제시된 문헌 조사를 통해 시스템 및 공정별 에너지 원단위 매트릭스 구축하고, 물-에너지 넥서스 모델을 활용하여 도시여건, 외부영향 및 운영관리수준이 시스템에 미치는 영향을 정량화하였으며, 관리자가 벤치마킹할 수 있는 물-에너지 사용효율 기준을 제시하였다. 이를 활용하여 도시물순환시스템 관리자는 시스템의 효율적인 운영관리를 위한 전략과 실행계획을 도출할 수 있으며, 계획의 시행 후 적합성 및 타당성에 대한 평가가 가능할 것이다.

Intracoronal bleaching is currently disregarded by many clinicians because of the potential consequence of cervical resorption. To prevent this complication it is recommended that intra coronal barrier materials be placed over the root canal obturation and sodium perborate be used with water rather than with hydrogen peroxide. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the amount of the hydrogen peroxide penetration according to the difference in intracanal base materials and sodium perborate preparation. Fifty extracted intact premolars were instrumented, and filled with gutta-percha. And then the outer surface of the teeth was sealed with wax exposing the CEJ. The prepared teeth were placed in plastic tubes containing 1.5ml distilled water with their entire root submerged into the solution, The teeth were divided into the following five groups. In the first two groups gutta-percha was removed without placement of barrier, and then water or superoxole(30% $H_2O_2$) with sodium perborate were used respectively for bleaching. In the other three groups, after removal of gutta-percha, an intracanal isolating barrier(ZPC, IRM, Fuji II LC) was placed and then bleached with sodium perborate and superoxole. The bleaching procedure was performed 4 times with 1 week interval. The results were as follows : 1. All the groups showed a tendency of increasing penetration amount with increasing treatment times(P<0.05). 2. After the 1st and 2nd treatments, there was no significant difference in microleakage among the groups. 3. After the 3rd bleaching with superoxole and sodium perborate, there was no significant difference in microleakage between gutta-percha alone group and gutta-percha with ZPC, Fuji II LC barrier group. But significant difference was found between IRM barrier group and other groups(P<0.01). 4. After the 4th bleaching with superoxole and sodium perborate, there was no significant difference between gutta-percha alone group and gutta-percha with barrier groups. 5. After the 4th treatment, the group bleached with sodium perborate and water without barrier showed lower hydrogen peroxide penetration than that of other groups(P<0.01).

The leak before break(LBB) concept is difficult to apply to a structure with a thin tube that is immersed in a water environment. A heat exchanger in a nuclear power plant is such a structure. The present paper addresses an application of the LBB concept to a heat exchanger in a nuclear power plant. The minimum leaked coolant amount(approximately 37.9 liters) containing the radioactive material which can activate the radiation detector device installed in near the heat exchanger is assumed. A postulated initial flaw size that can not grow to a critical flaw size within the time period to activate the radiation detector is justified. In this case, the radiation detector can activate the warning signal caused by coolant leakage from initially postulated flaws of the heat exchanger. The nuclear plant can safely shutdown when this occurs. Since the postulated initial flaw size can not grow to the critical flaw size, the structural integrity of the heat exchanger is not impeded. Particularly the informational scenario presented in this paper discusses an actual nuclear plant.
