Tritium ($^3H$ or T) has been produced mostly by atmospheric nuclear weapon tests, and entered the ocean in the form of water (HTO). As tritium exists as water itself, it has been regarded as an ideal tool to study the transport of water masses. In April 2001 we collected water samples in the western Japan Basin (WJB) for tritium and helium measurement. The timely sampling provided direct evidence of the bottom water formation, resulting in the drastic increase in tritium concentration from 0.3 TU in 2000 to 0.67 TU in 2001. Considering that the new bottom waters were found mostly in the WJB, it implies that maximum 1% of the whole bottom layer below 2600 m should be replaced with the surface water during the severely cold winter 2000 2001. $^3H-^3He$ age, showing the elapsed time since the water left from the surface, can be used to calculate oxygen utilization rate by dividing AOU by the age. Under the condition of 90% oxygen saturation in the surface water, the integration of OUR in the water column below 200 m yields net oxygen consumption of 12 mol $(O_2)m^{-2}yr^{-1}$, which corresponds to the export production of $99\;g\;C\;m^{-2}yr^{-1}$. This estimate is comparable to a previous estimate based on satellite data and implies that the ratio of export to primary production(f-ratio) is as high as 0.5 in the WJB.

밀집된 축사의 영향으로 충적층 지하수가 질산성 질소로 심하게 오염되어 있는 소유역을 흐르는 화봉천 수질의 계절 변화를 연구하였다. 이 하천에서 축산폐수의 직접 유입이 확인되었으며, 오염된 지하수 유입으로 인한 수질 변화가 나타났다. 건기에는 축산폐수의 직접 유입이 하천수질에 큰 영향을 미치고 있다. 우기에는 강수에 의한 희석효과에도 불구하고 지표수의 질산성 질소 농도가 오히려 증가하였으며, 질산성 질소로 오염된 지하수 유입량 증가가 큰 영향을 미친 것으로 판단된다. 지하수의 하천 유출은 산소, 수소 동위원소 조성을 이용하여 증명하였다. 질산성 질소 농도는 화봉천이 청미천보다 상대적으로 높으므로, 화봉천 유업에 의해 청미천의 질산성 질소 농도가 증가되고 있으며, 하천수의 질산성 질소 농도가 높아지는 우기에 이러한 수질 영향이 더욱 커졌다.

본 연구에서는 선택적 Gas-Liquid Contactor의 성능을 향상시키기 위하여 polyethersulfone(PES), polysulfone(PSf), polyvinylidenefluoride (PVDF) 등의 막에 $F_2$ gas를 이용하여 표면개질하였다. 표면개질된 막의 특성을 알아보기 위해 SEM, 표면접촉각, XPS, 물 투과 최소 압력 실험을 수행하였다. SEM 측정으로부터 막의 표면형태를 살펴본 결과 불소처리 시간이 증가함에 따라 막 표면의 roughness가 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 표면불소화한 막 표면에 $-CF_2$, $-CF_3$의 perfluoro group이 화학적으로 결합되어 막의 소수성이 증가된 것으로 나타났다. 또한 표면접촉각 및 물 투과 최소 압력 실험으로부터 표면불소화 처리시간이 증가함에 따라 측정값이 증가하여 막의 특성이 향상됨을 알 수 있었다.

These experiments were conducted to investigate water uptake, electrical conductivity, germination percentage, seedling growth, and seedling establishment rate in direct seeding cultivation of rice. The rice seeds of six japonica type varieties were coated with 12 kinds of polymers in a standard concentration of 0.2% using seed coating machine. The water absorption of the polymer-coated seeds under saturation conditions was not different among varieties, and was the highest in kulcel, maltrin, and waterlock on the polymer-coated seeds. The electrical conductivity with waterlock (55.0 $\mu scm^{-1}g^{-1}$) was higher than the control plot (45.6 $\mu scm^{-1}g^{-1}$) and other treatments. The germination of the polymer-coated seeds was 95.9% at control plot, 92.7% at low temperature and 35.7% at high temperature. The total dry weight of seed decreased in the order of low temperature, control plot, and high temperature, and was effective in pvp (polyvinyl pyrrolidone), opadry, and sacrust. The seedling establishment rate in direct seeding cultivation ranged from 74.9 to 81.0% in flooded paddy surface, and ranged from 64.7 to 76.6% in dry paddy. In both cases, it decreased in the order of early, medium and medium-late varieties, but was enhanced in daran 8600, sepirect, and sacrust. According to this study the recommended polymers for direct seeding cultivation of rice are daran 8600, sepirect, and sacrust.

Anaerobically grown cells of an Fe(III)-reducing bacterium, Shewanella putrefaciens IR-l, were electrochemically active with an apparent reduction potential of about 0.15 V against a saturated calomel electrode in the cyclic voltammetry. The bacterium did not grow fermentatively on lactate, but grew in an anode compartment of a three-electrode electrochemical cell using lactate as an electron donor and the electrode as the electron acceptor. This property was shared by a large number of Fe(III)-reducing bacterial isolates. This is the first observation of a direct electrochemical reaction by an intact bacterial cell, which is believed to be possible due to the electron carrier(s) located at the cell surface involved in the reduction of the natural water insoluble electron acceptor, Fe(III).

Membrane technology is widely employed as a means of producing various qualities of water from surface water, well water, brackish water and seawater. This is also used in industrial wastewater treatment and its recycling process. A large volume of wastewater is generated by the steel industry. Presently, the treated wastewater from the steel industry cannot be recycled, because some of its components cause either direct or indirect problems.(omitted)

In this study, the hydrological properties of permeable pavement were analyzed by the experiment and the numerical simulation. The numerical model used was a modified SWMM especially for considering the hydrological response of permeable pavement. The parameters of modified SWMM were revised by the experimental results, and then the practicability was evaluated through the comparison of the experimental and numerical simulation results. In the experiments, three different rainfall intensities such as 65 mm/hr, 90 mm/hr, 95 mm/hr were supplied for 4 hrs, and the hydraulic properties including surface outflow, subsurface outflow, ground water level, soil water contents were measured for 10 hrs. The results showed rainfall intensity effected directly on surface outflow volume and subsurface outflow volume was more effected by ground water level than rainfall intensity. The ground water level and the soil water contents were under estimated as compared with the experimental data except the portion of occurring direct runoff. The surface and subsurface outflow discharge were simulated very well in comparison with the experimental data. Consequently, the modified SWMM could be used very effectively to evaluate the hydrological property of permeable pavement.

본 연구에서는 지하 빗물저류시설 설치에 따른 유출저감 효과를 분석하기 위하여 실험실내 모형 빗물저류장치를 설치하여 강우강도 변화, 표층의 피복상태 변화, 표면경사 변화에 따른 유출량 변화 실험을 실시하였다. 실험결과 대상하천인 승기천의 토양조건하에서 강우강도가 40mm/hr-100mm/hr일 때 총유출량 감소는 42.3-52.9%로 나타났으며, 지하 빗물저류시설을 설치하는 경우 총유출량과 첨두유량의 감소를 가져올 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 경사변화에 따른 총유출량의 변화는 완만한 경사에서는 매우 크게 나타났으나 3%이상의 급경사에서 침투에 의한 저류량에 변화가 적고, 이는 산지와 같은 급경사지역에 빗물저류시설을 설치하는 경우 장기간의 홍수에 대하여 상당한 효과를 나타내는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 본 시스템은 하천이나 산지의 급경사에도 큰 결과를 기대할 수 있다.

The interaction of water molecules with solid surfaces has been a subject of considerable interests, due to its importance in the fields from atmospheric and environmental phenomena to biology, catalysis and electrochemistry [1,2]. Among various kinds of surfaces, a lot of theoretical and experimental studies have been performed regarding water on MgO(100), however, to date, there has been no direct observation of water molecules on MgO by scanning tunneling microscope (STM) as compared with those on metal surface. Here, we will present the direct observation and manipulation of single water molecules on ultrathin MgO(100) films using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscope (LT-STM) [3]. Our results rationalize the previous theoretical predictions of isolated water molecules on MgO including the optimum adsorption sites and non-dissociative adsorption of water. Moreover, we were able to dissociate a water molecule by exciting the vibrational mode of water, which is unattainable on metal surfaces. The enhanced residual time of tunneling electrons in molecules on the insulating film is responsible for this unique pathway toward dissociation of water.

Direct injection (DI) and solid phase extraction (SPE) methods for the simultaneous determination of pendimethalin (PDM) and dinoseb (DNS) in environmental water have been optimized using the ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method. The limits of quantification (LOQs) of PDM and DNS were $0.01{\mu}g/L$ using the DI method and $0.0001-0.0002{\mu}g/L$ using the SPE method. The precision by SPE UPLC-MS/MS was less than 11 % for intra-day and inter-day analyses. When the proposed SPE method was used to analyze two analytes in environmental water, PDM was detected in a concentration range of $0.0002-0.011{\mu}g/L$ in 31 samples of the 114 surface water samples, and DNS was detected in a concentration range of $0.0005-0.045{\mu}g/L$ in 17 samples of the 114 surface water samples analyzed. When the DI method was used to analyze target compounds in the same samples, the detected concentrations of the two analytes were within 21% in samples with concentrations above $0.01{\mu}g/L$. The DI UPLC-MS/MS method can thus be used for the routine monitoring of PDM and DNS in environmental water, and the SPE LC-MS/MS method can be used for the determination of the ultra-trace PDM and DNS residues in environmental water.
