In this paper, the effects of free surface fluctuation on the dynamic response of offshore structure is studied. In order to make the mathematical treatment of problem more tractable, only a single degree of freedom system subjected a long crested, stationary, Gaussian, non-breaking random waves of arbitrary bandwidth is considered. Wave force is computed based on the Morison equation in which wave induced fluid particle velocity and acceleration are modified to account for the effect of intermittent submergence of structural members near the free surface. It is shown that the response spectrum is reduced and higher harmonic response component appears when the intermittent submergence of structural member is considered. Furthermore, it is also found that the amount of reduction in the response spectrum is getting smaller as frequency is increased which might be attributed to the higher harmonic component caused by intermittent submergence and these effects are getting profound as water depth is decreased.

Korea has experienced 10 a Cochlodinium polykrikoides red tide outbreaks during the last 10 years (1993-2002). The monitoring activities at National Fisheries Research and Development Institute (NFRDI) in Korea have been extended to all the coastal waters after the worst of fish killing by C. polykrikoides blooms in 1995. NFRDI is looking forward to finding out the feasibility of red tide detection around Korean waters using satellite remote sensing of NOAA/AVHRR, Orbview-2/SeaWiFS, IRS-P4/OCM and Terra/MODIS on real time base. In this study, we used several alternative methods including climatological analysis, spectral and optical methods which may offer a potential detection of the major species of red tide in Korean waters. The relationship between the distribution of SST and C. polykrikoides bloom areas was studied. In climatological analysis, NOAA, SeaWiFS, OCM satellite data in 20th and 26th August 2001 were chosen using the known C. polykrikoides red tide bloom area mapped by helicopter reconnaissance and ground observation. The 26th August, 2001 SeaWiFS chlorophyll a anomaly imageries against the imageries of non-occurring red tide for August 20, 2001 showed the areas C. polykrikoides occurred. The anomalies of chlorophyll a concentration from satellite data between before and after red tide outbreaks showed the similar distribution of C. polykrikoides red tide in 26th August, 2001. The distribution of the difference in SST between daytime and nighttime also showed the possibility of red tide detection. We used corrected vegetation index (CVI) to detect floating vegetation and submerged vegetation containing algal blooms. The simple result of optical absorption from C. polykrikoides showed that if we use the optical characteristics of each red tide we will be able to get the feasibility of the red tide detection.

The effects of the Froude numbers on turbulent flow patterns downstream of a non-submerged spur dike were investigated in a laboratory flume. Three-dimensional velocities and water depths were measured using Acoustic Doppler Velocimetry and distance sensors under three Froude number conditions ($Fr_d=0.31$, 0.38, and 0.46). The results show that there are marginal differences in the velocity fields downstream of a spur dike due to the change of the Froude number. However, an increase of the Froude number was found to reduce cross-sectional area in the flow and to increase the strength of the jet-like flow. The jet-like flow was observed to displace the location of the maximum turbulence kinetic energy within a cross section toward the inner bank in the transverse direction.

Pharmacological research on (CHA), a marine-derived quinazolinone alkaloid with significant cytotoxic activity, is restricted by low yields and is a problem that needs to be settled urgently. In this work, the selection of additional nitrogen sources and the optimization of additional concentrations and longer fermentation times using ammonium acetate, were investigated. CHA production was optimized to 62.1 mg/l with the addition of 50 mM ammonium acetate at 120 h of the fermentation in the shaker flask. This feeding strategy significantly increased 3-deoxy-arabino-heptulosonate-7-phosphate synthase activity and transcript levels of critical genes (laeA, dahp, and trpC) in the shikimate pathway compared with the non-treatment group. In addition, the selection of the feeding rate (0.01 and $0.03g/l{\cdot}h$) was investigated in a 5-L bioreactor. As a result, CHA production was increased by 57.9 mg/l with a $0.01g/l{\cdot}h$ ammonium acetate feeding rate. This work shows that the strategy of ammonium acetate supplementation had an effective role in improving CHA production by Aspergillus fumigatus CY018. It also shows that this strategy could serve as an important example of large-scale fermentation of a marine fungus in submerged culture.

Owing to the rising concerns about the safety of nuclear power plants (NPP), it is essential to study the venturi scrubber in detail, which is a key component of the filtered containment venting system (FCVS). FCVS alleviates the pressurein containment byfiltering and venting out the contaminated air. Themain objective of this research was to perform a CFD investigation of different configurations of a circular, non-submerged, self-priming venturi scrubber to estimate and improve the performance in the removal of elemental iodine from the air. For benchmarking, a mass transfer model which is based on two-film theory was selected and validated by experimental data where an alkaline solution was considered as the scrubbing solution. This mass transfer model was modified and implemented on a unique formation of two self-priming venturi scrubbers in series. Euler-Euler method was used for two-phase modeling and the realizable K-ε model was used for capturing the turbulence. The obtained results showed a remarkable improvement in the removal of radioactive iodine from the air using a series combination of venturi scrubbers. The removal efficiency was improved at every single data point.

Purpose: This study was conducted to assess the effect of hard and/or soft tissue grafting on immediate implants in a preclinical model. Methods: In 5 mongrel dogs, the distal roots of P2 and P3 were extracted from the maxilla (4 sites in each animal), and immediate implant placement was performed. Each site was randomly assigned to 1 of the following 4 groups: i) gap filling with guided bone regeneration (the GBR group), ii) subepithelial connective tissue grafting (the SCTG group), iii) GBR and SCTG (the GBR/SCTG group), and iv) no further treatment (control). Non-submerged healing was provided for 4 months. Histological and histomorphometric analyses were performed. Results: Peri-implant tissue height and thickness favored the SCTG group (height of periimplant mucosa: 1.14 mm; tissue thickness at the implant shoulder and ±1 mm from the shoulder: 1.14 mm, 0.78 mm, and 1.57 mm, respectively; median value) over the other groups. Bone grafting was not effective at the level of the implant shoulder and on the coronal level of the shoulder. In addition, simultaneous soft and hard tissue augmentation (the GBR/SCTG group) led to a less favorable tissue contour compared to GBR or SCTG alone (height of periimplant mucosa: 3.06 mm; thickness of peri-implant mucosa at the implant shoulder and ±1 mm from the shoulder: 0.72 mm, 0.3 mm, and 1.09 mm, respectively). Conclusion: SCTG tended to have positive effects on the thickness and height of the periimplant mucosa in immediate implant placement. However, simultaneous soft and hard tissue augmentation might not allow a satisfactory tissue contour in cases where the relationship between implant position and neighboring bone housing is unfavorable.

The biocompatibility and durability of implant fixtures are major concerns for dentists and patients. Mechanical complications of the implant include abutment screw loosening, screw fracture, loss of implant prostheses, and implant fracture. This case report aims to describe management of a case of fixture damage that occurred after screw fracture in a tissue level, internal connection implant and microscopic evaluation of the fractured fixture. A trephine bur was used to remove the fixture, and the socket was grafted using allogeneic bone material. The failed implant was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), which revealed a fractured fixture with both normal and irregular bone patterns. The SEM and EDS results give an enlightenment of the failed fixture surface micromorphology with microfracture and contaminated chemical compositions. Noticeably, the significantly high level of gold (Au) on the implant surface and the trace amounts of Au and titanium (Ti) in the bone tissue were recorded, which might have resulted from instability and micro-movement of the implant-abutment connection over an extended period of time. Further study with larger number of patient and different types of implants is needed for further conclusion.

자연하천에서 식생의 성장은 유속 및 수위 변화에 중요한 영향을 미치며, 따라서 식생으로 인한 흐름저항은 흐름과 유사이송 모델링을 위한 중요 매개 변수가 된다. 즉, 수치 모델을 활용함에 있어 식생의 흐름 저항을 정확하게 추정하는 것이 매우 중요하며, 보다 정확한 추정을 위해 실험 혹은 현장 데이터를 활용한 보정과정이 필수적으로 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 식생 패치를 포함한 인공 수로의 흐름 모의를 위해 실규모 실험 수로에서 측정된 유속 및 수위 데이터를 활용하여 모델보정을 수행하고자 한다. 이를 위해 공간 분포 별로 각기 다른 흐름 저항식의 적용이 가능하며, 식생 저항 공식을 포함하고 있는 Delft3D 모델을 활용하였다. 또한 실규모 수로에서의 유속 및 수위 데이터 수집을 위해 한국건설기술연구원 하천연구센터에서 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 구간의 길이는 약 120 m이고 하폭은 11 m이며, 국내 하천에서 보이는 식생패치의 유사한 형태를 재현하기 위해 하천 내 가장 많이 활착되어있는 버드나무와 유사한 형태의 인공식생을 제작하였다. 인공 식생은 지그재그로 배치되었으며, 식생의 전체 높이는 1.1 m이고, 각 패치 당 23그루의 인공 식생이 총 8개 패치에 식재되었다. 모의 조건은 상류단 유입 유량 2.805 ㎥/s, 하류단수위 98.764 m의 정류 조건을 적용하였다. 또한 식생 패치 구간에서의 흐름 저항 추정을 위해 Delft3D 모델 내에서 선택가능 한 Baptist의 비침수(Non-submerged)식을 적용하였으며, 항력계수 결정을 위해 1과 1.5를 적용하여 측정 수위와 비교하였다. Delft3D의 흐름 모의 결과, 항력계수 1.5를 적용했을 때, 측정 수위와 거의 일치하는 것으로 나타났으며, 항력계수 1.0을 적용했을 경우, 측정 수위에 비해 다소 낮게 모의되는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 항력계수 1.5인 경우 식생 패치 구간에서 평균 0.65 m/s의 유속이 발생하였다.

The purpose of this investigation is to find out the effects on the changes of microflora and the effects on the inorganic nutrients of the fertilized soil and the non-fertilized soil under submerged condition with the treatment of butachlor at the levels of 250, 500, and 1000ppm respectively. The survey was made within the period of 72 days with 7-day intervals under the incubated condition. The result came out to be the following: 1. The Fluctuated changes of soil microflora A. Bacteria: The plots treated by 500ppm of butachlor in case of non-fertilized soil showed the decreasing tendency of bacteria until 21st day. But there were no effects on the other plots. The plots treated by 250ppm and 500ppm in case of fertilized soil showed decreasing tendency on the 7th day, and 1000ppm until 21st days. B. Actinomycetes: There was no effects on the actinotnycetes in case of the non-fertilized soil but the fertilized soil showed some decrease. In both cases, actinomycetes have generally shown a little increase according to the time passage. C. Fungi: In both cases of the fertilized soil and the non-fertilized soil, the plots treated by the media showed some decreasing tendency in comparison with the control plots. There was no change to the number of fungi according to the time passage. 2. The fluctuated changes of nutrient A. $NH_4-N$: The whole plots showed decrease of $NH_4-N$ by adding butachlor. The higher the intencity of butachiar showed the more decreasing tendency of $NH_4-N$. In case of the non-fertilized soil, the highest increase of $NH_4-N$ appeared from the 7th day to 14th day, but showed degrease thereafter. The increasing tendency was seen in case of the fertilized soil plots. B. $NO_3-N$: Decrease of $NO_3-N$ was shown in the whole plots by the treatment of media, and on the 44th day of cultivation almost none of $NO_3-N$ was detected. C. $NO_2-N$: Whole plots showed the number of $NO_2-N$ highest on the 35th day, and there were nothing measurable on the 44th day. D. Eh: On the fertilized soil, the condition of reduction went on strongly but on the non-fertilized soil, the condition of reduction kept on till 42nd day and oxidation appeared thereafter.

The water-soluble or ethanol-soluble materials extracted from fruit bodies and cultured products (mycelium and broth) of H. erinaceum were prepared, and their inhibitory effect on acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity from Electrophorous electricus was investigated. Inhibition of 75-85% for AChE activity at concentration of 10 mg/ml was obtained and the mechanism was due to general non-competitive inhibition. Especially, the supernatant of culture broth by ethanol treatment, exhibited a strong inhibition activity of 94% at 10 mg/ml. The samples from fruit body, mycelium and broth (supernatant and precipitate by ethanol treatment) which were extracted from H. erinaceum, were very effective to inhibit the initial stage oxidation of a linoleic acid at concentration of 0.1 mg/ml. The antioxidative activity of these samples were superior than rutin, vitamin C and tocopherol as antioxidative standards by FTC (ferric thiocyanate) method, and also showed the very strong antioxidative activity of 95% without significant difference of the samples by TBA-RS (thiobarbituric acid-reactive substance) method.
