To clarify the effect of forest environmental changes (forest type difference and clearcut) on water storage capacity in soil and stream flow, watershed had been investigated in Pyungchang, Kangwon-Do during 1983∼1993. Hydrological datas such as runoff, monthly ratio of runoff to precipitation, runoff-duration, monthly runoff(by plenty, ordinary, low and scanty duration), total runoff, direct runoff by runoff components, bulk density, porosity, coarse pore, fine pore, permeability and effective water storage were obtained from Backokpo and Yimokjong watersheds. The monthly ratio of runoff to precipitation, runoff and runoff-duration were higher in Yimokiong than in Backokpo due to forest type difference. On compararing pre-treatment with trement period in two experimental watersheds, pre-treatment period was lower than treatment period. Physical properties of soil such as bulk density, porosity, permeability, and effective water storage capacity conditions were better during the pre-trement period than treatment period in the two experiment plots.

The completely mixed flow and plug flow (CAP) water quality model was developed for streams with discontinuous flows, a condition that often occurs in low base flow streams with in-stream hydraulic structures, especially during dry seasons. To consider the distinct physical properties of each reach effectively, the CAP model stream network can include both plug flow (PF) segments and completely mixed flow (CMF) segments. Many existing water quality models are capable of simulating various constituents and their interactions in surface water bodies. More complicated models do not necessarily produce more accurate results because of problems in data availability and uncertainties. Due to the complicated and even random nature of environmental forcing functions, it is not possible to construct an ideal model for every situation. Therefore, at present, many governmental level water quality standards and decisions are still based on lumped constituents, such as the carbonaceous biochemical oxygen demand (CBOD), the total nitrogen (TN) or the total phosphorus (TP). In these cases, a model dedicated to predicting the target concentration based on available data may provide as equally accurate results as a general purpose model. The CAP model assumes that its water quality constituents are independent of each other and thus can be applied for any constituent in waters that follow first order reaction kinetics. The CAP model was applied to the Geum River in Korea and tested for CBOD, TN, and TP concentrations. A trial and error method was used for parameter calibration using the field data. The results agreed well with QUAL2EU model predictions.

To look over the effect of mixed proportion of cement, sand and water on strength, 162 tests were made for 9 mix proportions. It was observed that strength increased as water in the mixture is reduced. As a result of the control of sand ratio by 50%, the execution strength increased when the sand ratio is raised. Strength was consistent during curing period on each mix proportion, but there were sections where it suddenly increased. Poisson's ratio widely ranged from 0.13 to 0.27, and Young's modulus also broadly ranged from 13.79MPa to 33.25MPa. Poisson's ratio had nothing to do with uniaxial compressive strength, wheras Young's modulus was concerned with it. Young's modulus from theory and experiment showed similar outcome on the 3rd curing day, however, the strength from theory was higher than that from test after 3rd day. In consequence, there was a great change of strength between 3rd and 7th curing day. In addition, it is more efficient to use field strength value between the 3rd and 7th day and to apply Young's modulus on it for determining the exact time.

1,3,5-benzenetricarbonyl trichloride is a chemical substance in which three acyl chlorides are located at 1,3,5 position in the benzene ring, and is an important chemical for the area where the good physical and chemical properties are required through high degree of crosslinking. In particular, it is possible to form a three-dimensional structure having a certain pore size, it is used in various separation and purification fields. However, the high reactivity of acyl chloride has the advantage of a fast reaction rate, which means that it is difficult to control chemically to have a certain performance in other aspects. Therefore, in this study, we observed how the chemical change of 1,3,5-benzenetricarbonyl trichloride affected the membrane performance.

Bismuth telluride ($Bi_2Te_3$) thin films were prepared with various electrolyte temperatures ($10^{\circ}C-70^{\circ}C$) and concentrations [$Bi(NO_3)_3$ and $TeO_2:1.25-5.0mM$] in this study. The surface morphologies differed significantly between the experiments in which these two electrodeposition conditions were separately adjusted even though the applied current density was in the same range in both cases. At higher electrolyte temperatures, a dendrite crystal structure appeared on the film surface. However, the surface morphology did not change significantly as the electrolyte concentration increased. The dendrite crystal structure formation in the former case may have been caused by the diffusion lengths of the ions increasing with increasing electrolyte temperature. In such a state, the reactive points primarily occur at the tops of spiked areas, leading to dendrite crystal structure formation. In addition, the in-plane thermoelectric properties of $Bi_2Te_3$ thin films were measured at approximately 300 K. The power factor decreased drastically as the electrolyte temperature increased because of the decrease in electrical conductivity due to the dendrite crystal structure. However, the power factor did not strongly depend on the electrolyte concentration. The highest power factor [$1.08{\mu}W/(cm{\cdot}K^2$)] was obtained at 3.75 mM. Therefore, to produce electrodeposited $Bi_2Te_3$ films with improved thermoelectric performances and relatively high deposition rates, the electrolyte temperature should be relatively low ($30^{\circ}C$) and the electrolyte concentration should be set at 3.75 mM.

Commercialized carbon fiber obtained from polyacrylonitrile(PAN) precursor is subjected to oxidation stabilization at 180 to 300℃ in air atmosphere and carbonization process at 1600℃ or lower in inert gas atmosphere. Both of these processes use a lot of time and high energy, but are essential and important for producing high-performance carbon fibers. Therefore, in recent years, an alternative stabilization technology by being assisted with various other energy sources such as plasma, electron beam and microwave which can shorten the process time and lower energy consumption has been studied. In this study, the PAN precursor was stabilized by using plasma treatment and heat treatment continuously. The morphology, structural changes, thermal and physical properties were analyzed using Field emission scanning electron microscopy(FE-SEM), X-ray diffraction(XRD), Fourier transform infrared(FT-IR), Thermogravimetric analysis(TGA) and Favimat.

Porous concrete has good permeability sine it contains about 10∼20 ％ of voids, had has been introduced to korea in early 1980's. It, however, has problems such as a lack of optimized mixture, low strength and durability, and etc. It is thus Interesting to manufacture high-performance porous concrete satisfying the mechanical characteristics to be supplied In practical construction. The results of this study were as follows : the compressive strength was 132∼221 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$, the splitting tensile strength was 15∼25 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$, the flexural strength was 36∼54 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$, and the coefficient permeability was 1.05${\times}$10$\^$-1/ ∼ 9.20${\times}$10$\^$-2/ cm/sec. In order to change the maximum size of aggregate, It is believed that other mixtures should be studied further.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the possibile clinical application of electroplating to increase diameter of an orthodontic wire, through examining the change of physical properties. The diameter of stainless steel orthodontic wire was increased from 0.016 inch to 0.018 inch by electroplating in a bath of nickel sulfate 100g/L, nickel chloride 60g/L, boric acid 30g/L, and sodium chloride 50g/L, under the conditions of 1.7V, $25\~29^{\circ}C\;and\;3.1\~3.3pH$. During the electroplating, the rate of diameter increase was measured every minute. To investigate uniformity, the diameter was measured at three different locations of each wire specimen aster electroplating. An X-ray diffraction test was performed to analyze the nature of the electroplated metal. Following heat treatment to improve adhesion between the wire and electroplated metal, a three-point bending test was conducted to compare stiffness, field strength, and ultimate strength among four wire groups; 0.016 inch, electroplated 016, electroplated and heat-treated 016, and 0.018 inch wires. Through the comparison of each wire group, following results were obtained. 1. In the load-deflection graph, the curve of the electroplated group was Placed between that of the 0.016 inch group and the 0.018 inch group, and the owe was closer to the 0.018 inch group by heat treatment. 2. In the electroplated and heat-treated 016 wire group, the values of stiffness, yield strength and ultimate strength showed higher tendency than in the original 0.016 Inch group. Stiffness and ultimate strength showed statistically significant differences between two groups. 3. Stiffness, yield strength, and ultimate strength of electroplated wire presented lower values than those of 0.018 inch wire group. 4. Stiffness, yield strength, and ultimate strength of electroplated and heat-treated wire showed higher tendency than those of electroplated wire group, and ultimate strength showed statistically significant difference between two groups. 5. After electroplating, the difference in diameter between the three locations was within $0.1\~0.3\%$ variation, and showed no statistical significance.

In addition to responding to the environmental pollution caused by fossil fuels, the enforcement of Renewable Fuel Standard(RFS) system has increased the utilization of renewable energy such as refined fuels oil. The by-product fuel oil(No. 2) and the refined fuel oil(reduced-pressure) are strictly regulated by the domestic legislation and the chemical property changes of the refined fuel oil(reduced-pressure) mixed with the by-product fuel oil(No. 2) were analyzed. As a result of analyzing the physical properties of refined fuel oil(reduced pressure) obtained by mixing 1 : 1 of by-product fuel oil(No. 2), it satisfied the quality standards stipulated by the domestic Enforcement Decree of the Wastes Control Act. However, the results of the additional tests related to the fuel showed a high aromatic content. The high content of aromatic in a fuel is likely to cause the soot and ehaust emission gas during the combustion of the used equipment.

The purpose of this study was to develop EM media for water treatment and to remove nitrogen and phosphorus which cause water algae boom in water system. The ideal mixing ratio of raw material such as clay: zeolite: vermiculite: activated carbon for manufacturing the EM media was 10: 2.5: 0.1: 2, and the calcination temperature was $700^{\circ}C$. The comparison of the physical properties of manufactures using distilled water and EM activated liquid as the material mixture are as follows. Porosity and density of EM media were 39.98 % and $1.13kg/m^3$, adsorption efficiencies of nitrogen and phosphorus were 69.3 % and 38.9 %. In contrast, porosity and density of distilled water media were 37.80 % and $1.11kg/m^3$, and adsorption efficiencies of nitrogen and phosphorus were 62.5 % and 37.8 %. The adsorption rate of nitrogen and phosphorus in the EM media was higher than that of the distilled water made one by 6.8 % and 1.1 %, respectively. The adsorption characteristics of the media to nitrogen and phosphorus could be expressed by the Freudlich adsorption isotherm. The change of calcination time did not affect the adsorption efficiency of phosphorus and nitrogen when EM media was formed, but it was considered that it affects the strength of media. Nitrogen removal efficiency was the best record in 4 hours of calcination time and 3 hours of calcination time in phosphorus removal efficiency.
