A mixed bacterial culture capable of mineralizing methyl tort-butyl ether (MTBE), other fuel oxygenates ethers, tertiary carbon alcohols, benzene and toluene was used to inoculate batch reactor and sequence batch reactor (SBR) to treat gasoline contaminated ground water containing about 60 mg/L MTBE, 5 mg/L benzene, 5 mg/L toluene, and low concentrations of several other aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons. Respirometery studies showed that MTBE degrading mixed culture could treat MTBE contaminated ground water with addition of nitrogen and phosphate. SBR was operated to demonstrate the feasibility of using suspended growth activated system for the treatment of ground water and to confirm that the respirometry derived kinetics and stoichiometric coefficients were useful for predicting reactor performance. Theoretical performance of the reactor was predicted using mathematical models calibrated with biokinetic parameters derived from respirometry studies.

The vacuum preloading method has been used in many countries for ground improvement and land reclamation works. A sand cushion is required as a horizontal drainage channel for conventional vacuum preloading. In terms of the dredged-fill foundation soil, the treatment effect of the conventional vacuum preloading method is poor, particularly in Tianjin, China, where a shortage of sand exists. To solve this problem, straight-line vacuum preloading without sand is widely adopted in engineering practice to improve the foundation soil. Based on the engineering properties of dredged fill in Lingang City, Tianjin, this paper presents field instrumentation in five sections and analyzes the effect of a prefabricated vertical drain (PVD) layout and a vacuum pumping method on the soft soil ground treatment. Through the arrangement of pore water pressure gauges, settlement marks and vane shear tests, the settlement, pore water pressure and subsoil bearing capacity are analyzed to evaluate the effect of the ground treatment. This study demonstrates that straight-line vacuum preloading without sand can be suitable for areas with a high water content. Furthermore, the consolidation settlement and consolidation degree system is developed based on the grey model to predict the consolidation settlement and consolidation degree under vacuum preloading; the validity of the system is also verified.

Forest clear-cutting operations influence biodiversity through habitat changes and food resource availability for inhabitant species. This study examined the effects of clear-cutting on forest arthropod communities. Arthropods were collected from two different forest treatment areas (clear-cut and control) in summer and autumn. In each treatment area, arthropods were sampled from both crown and ground surfaces using sweeping and pitfall trap methods, respectively. Then, the taxonomic order of the collected arthropod specimens was easily identified. Results indicate that arthropod abundance and number of taxa present were higher at ground surface than at crown levels in both clear-cut and control areas. At crown level, more homopteran species were present in clear-cut areas than in control areas in summer. At ground surface, populations of Isopoda and Opiliones were higher in control areas than in clear-cut areas, whereas numbers of Araneae, Orthoptera, and Hymenoptera were greater in clear-cut areas. Cluster analysis and principal component analysis showed distinct differences between clear-cut and control communities at crown level in summer and at ground surface in autumn. Thus, our results indicate that clear-cutting significantly influences arthropod communities, and higher taxa are valuable for conducting rapid biological assessments of ecosystem disturbances.

Most firming agent used in Korea is cement-firming agent. Cement-firming agent absorb water for combination, and then it makes ettringite. Through this chemical process, soft ground is firmed by cement-firming agent. Although most cement-firming agent used in Korea made from CSA, it relies on imports. Therefore, the development of soft ground firming agent using new materials is required. In this study, we suggested that EAF reduction slag not used for anything in the steel industry is available for material of soft ground firming agent. If EAF reduction slag is used in soft ground firming agent, it will be possible to solve the problem with treatment of slag and improvement of soft ground.

This study was conducted to determine the effect of the homogenizing grade of sample on absorbance of near infrared reflectance spectrophotometer with which chemical compositions of food were rapidly and effectively analyzed. By the mathematical treatment of absorbance values standard error of prediction was reduced as follows. 1. The absorbance values of various samples ground for the same periods of time were calibrated before or after treatment with first or second derivative in an attempt to accurately predict the components of samples ground for the different periods of time. The standard error of prediction for moisture content were 1.478%, 0.658% and 0.580%, respectively, those for fat content 0.949%, 0.637% and 0.527%, respectively, and those for protein content 0.514%, 0.493% and 0.394%, respectively. Calibration of absorbance values after second derivative treatment showed the highest accuracy in predicting sample components. 2. The absorbance values of various samples ground for the different periods of time were calibrated before or after treatment with first or second derivative in order to accurately predict the components of samples ground for the different periods of time. The standard error of prediction for moisture content were 1.026%, 0.589% and 0.568%, respectively, and those for protein content 0.860%, 0.557% and 0.399%, respectively. The standard error of prediction were lower in the order of calibrations before and after first and second derivative treatments. As a result, calibration of absorbance values after second derivative treatment showed higher accuracy regardless of grinding time of samples.

This study was conducted to investigate effect of corn flake and corn ground on nutrient digestibility and fermentation characteristics of rumen in Hanwoo. The animals used were three Hanwoo cows implanted with ruminal fistula. Corn were categorized in 2 groups based on the corn processing method: Ground and Flake. The rumen digestibility of dry matter, starch, nitrogen free extract and non fiber carbohydrates were increased in flake compared to ground from 3 to 24 hours of incubation(P<0.05). The pH of rumen was lower in the flaked treatment than ground treatment at 3 hours after incubation, but average pH was no significantly difference between treatments. The average acetic acid, propionic acid and butyric acid were significantly increased in the flaked treatments compared to the ground treatment (P<0.05). Thus, flake processing can improve the carbohydrate availability of corn in the rumen and increase feed value.
