A feasibility study was performed to examine the agronomic application of treated sewage on paddy rice culture by field experiment for two consecutive years. The domestic sewage was treated by the constructed wetland system which was in subsurface flow type and consisted of sand and macrophyte. The effluent of the wetland system was used for irrigation water. The effluent was diluted to maintain the total nitrogen concentration below $26mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ in the first year and used without dilution in the second year experiment. Growth components and yields were compared against the CONTROL plot where conventional method was applied. And also, soil characteristics of the plots before and after reclaimed sewage irrigation were analyzed. Generally, addition of the treated sewage to the irrigation water showed no adverse effects on paddy rice culture, and even enhancement was noticed in both growth and yield. Irrigation of treated sewage after concentration adjusted with conventional fertilization showed the better result, and the yield exceeded that of CONTROL case where clean water was irrigated. Soil characteristics changed after irrigation, and significant EC increasing was observed for the reclaimed sewage irrigation plots. From this study, it appears that reuse of treated sewage, as supplemental irrigation water could be a feasible and practical alternative. For full-scale application, further study is recommended on the specific guideline of major water quality components in treated sewage for irrigation and public health.

In this paper, a linear programming was used for determining the optimum efficiency required of each wastwater treatment facility and minimum total treatment casts in order to meet any set of stream dissolved oxygen standards within a river basin. The optimum solution of water quality control which was obtained with the inventory equation of Camp-Dobbins' equation incorporated into the constraints of linear programming was compared with that of Streeter-Phelps' equation. It can be concluded that correlation coefficient was 0.997. Then the linear programming incorporating the inventory equation of selected streeter-Phelps equation was used in order to obtain the optimum solution of water quality control based on data form the Nakdong River.

Herein the water film was introduced to the hydrophilic area on the line patterned surface to solve the contradiction caused by surface roughness (high different wettability has advantage to control the droplet but high roughness for that high wettability difference causes obstruction of droplet moving). Thus the droplet on the water film could not be hindered to line direction but restricted to orthogonal direction, effectively. In addition, droplet behaviors according to droplet volume and line thickness were studied. Droplet fell off the line with narrowing the interface between the droplet and the water film on the line. When the droplet fell off the line, the plate angle was designated as a critical plate angle and it used as an indicator of surface capability to control the droplet. As a result critical plate angle increases as droplet volume decreases and line thickness increases.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to examine preventive effects of tailored water drinking on orthostatic hypotension and heart rate variability in the elderly. Methods: A non-equivalent control group pre and post time-series design was adapted. Among a total of 64 elderly people admitted to two nursing homes, 35 elderly were assigned to the experimental group and 29 were assigned to the control group. As for the elderly people in the experimental group, tailed water drink was provided according to the scheduled time for six weeks. Blood pressure and heart rate were measured twice before the intervention in both groups. The data were analyzed with SPSS program using t-test, ${\chi}^2$-test, and repeated measure of ANOVA. Results: There were significant differences in blood pressure and heart rate variability between the two groups. Conclusion: Tailored water drinking had preventive effects on decreasing blood pressure fall as well as prevalence of orthostatic hypotension in the elderly people.

For the purpose of developing a new drug against cerebral infarction, we chose Ijintang which is frequently applied in the field of Jung Pung of traditional medicine. From this formula, water extract and methanol extract were prepared respectively. Animals were divided into three groups; control group, water extract medicated group, methanol extract treated group. water extract was given 195mg／kg orally and methanol extract, 165mg／kg for 2 weeks in case of cerebral edema and 1 month in regional cerebral blood flow. On the regional cerebral blood flow, the drug medicated groups showed no significant changes as compared gith control group. There was no significant difference on the cerebral edema among the groups. According to the results above, it is suggested that oral medication of water extract and methanol extract from Ijintang have no effect on the change of rCBF and edema after acutely induced cerebral infarction. However, it is thought that modification of administration method and development of new animal model for traditional medicine are needed.

It is the most important subject to figure out characteristics of the wastewater inflows of sewerage treatment plant(STP) when situation models are applied to operation of the biological processes and in the automatic control based on ICA(Instrument, Control and Automation). For the purposes, real-time influent monitoring method has been applied by using on-line monitoring equipments for the process optimization in conventional STP. Since, the influent of STP is consist of complex components such as, COD, BOD, TN, $NH_4$-N, $NO_3$-N, TP and $PO_4$-P. MRA2(Microbial Respiration Analyzer 2), which is capable of real-time analyzing of wastewater characteristics is used to overcome the limitations and defects of conventional online monitoring equipments in this study. Rapidity, accuracy and stability of developed MRA2 are evaluated and compared with the results from on-line monitoring equipments for seven months after installation in Full-scale STP.

This investigation was performed to study the effect of Ginseng water extract on the cardiac sarcolemma $Na^+,\;K^+-ATPase$ activity of rat hearts. The Ginseng water extract (100mg/kg/day) was administered orally to Sprague-Dawley rats for one, four and seven days. The fragment of sarcolemma was prepared by the method of Matsui and Erdmann and the $Na^+,\;K^+-ATPase$ and $Mg^{++}-ATPase$ activity were measured by the method of Martins and Doty. $Na^+,\;K^+-ATPase$ activity in the rat heart treated with Ginseng water extract for 1 day was not significantly different from control value, but the activity was decreased by 13.4% in the rat heart treated for 4 days and was decreased by 20.4% in the 7 days treated group. $Mg^{++}-ATPase$ activity in the rat treated with ginseng water extract was similar to control value. It may be concluded that chronic administration of Ginseng may inhibit the $Na^+,\;K^+-ATPase$ enzyme activity, but single administration may not inhibit the activity.

Black liquor staining for the development of natural color of bleached Hanji caused problems of discoloration and degradation. This study was carried out not only to complement these problems but also to develop natural dyeing method that was similar to the color of unbleached Hanji, through the dyeing of rice straw extractives. The dyeing properties of Hanji were influenced more by dyestuffs extraction method than extraction and dyeing time. Dyeing ability of hot water extractives was superior to cold-water extractives. Without the relation to the time of extraction and dyeing, the color of Hanji dyeing hot water extractives were similar to the control, and the color of Hanji dyed for 45 min with hot water extractives that extracted for 120 min, were almost same as the control. As natural dyestuffs, hot water extractives of rice straw showed that excellent dyeing ability for the development of various natural colors similar to unbleached Hanjis.

One of the best way to control Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) is proposed to construct first flush storage tank. But there is little known parameters for optimum design of these facilities. This study was conducted to get optimum design parameters for a first flush storage tank construction. The optimization of the tank is generally based upon some measure of SS(Suspended Solid) mass holding efficiency. Water quality deterioration of receiving water body happened right after first time occurring rainfall in dry weather seasons. So, design rainfall intensity is used at 2 mm/hr for peak of monthly average intensities of dry seasons. The capacities for each evaluated catchment are designed from 14.4 min to 16.1 min HRT of CSOs flow at design rainfall intensity. Owing to all storage tanks are connected to interception sewer having a redundancy, the suggested volume could be cut down.
