The objectives of the paper were to identify appropriate best management practices (BMPs) for reducing nonpoint source (NPS) pollutant loadings and to simulate the effects of the application of the several BMP scenarios on the study watershed using Agricultural Nonpoint Source (AGNPS) model. AGNPS model was calibrated and validated for runoff, sediment yield, and nutrient components using the observed hydrologic and water quality data. The simulated runoff, sediment, and nutrient components were well agreed with observed data. The validated AGNPS was applied to estimate the NPS pollution removal efficiency for BMP scenarios which were selected considering the pollutant characteristics of the study watershed.

Dispersion of carbon nanotubes in biocompatible media are of particular interest for diverse biomedical and nanomedicine applications. Various biomolecules and biopolymers such as DNA, proteins, poly L-lysine, starch, gelatin, steroid biosurfactants, and chitosan have shown capability for the effective dispersion of carbon nanotubes in water. Chitosan has demonstrated capacity for effective dispersion of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) in acidic medium and it also showed tendency to preferentially disperse smaller diameter nanotubes. Chemical functionalizations of chitosan enable its solubility in neutral pH water by reducing the intra and inter molecular hydrogen bonding. Herein, we present a neutral pH water soluble chitosan derivative, chitosan-hydroxyphenyl acetamide (CHPA), obtained by functionalizing the amino groups of chitosan with 4-hydroxyphenyl acetic acid, as an efficient biocompatible dispersant for debundling and solubilization of SWNTs in neutral aqueous solutions. Various process conditions for individual dispersion of SWCNTs are analyzed based on optical absorption and Raman spectroscopy.

Urea is liquefied when it is dissolved in water and has the effect of increasing water. It is known that when using urea, it is generally possible to reduce the number of design units in order to ensure the same flow-ability, because the effect of increasing the water when using urea in the manufacturing of concrete is known. In this study, the change of basic properties of concrete when using urea was investigated in concrete production, and the effect of reducing the unit yield was confirmed.

From the results of tracer test for the existing chlorine contactor in Y water treatment plant, $T_{10}$ and $T_{10}$/T were calculated as 130 min and 0.16, respectively. Therefore it required the modification schemes for improving hydraulic efficiency, surrogated by T10 and $T_{10}$/T, and disinfection performance. In this study, in order to reduce dead zone within contactor, the installation of porous baffles in the near of each corner was suggested and verified using transient CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulation technique and tracer tests on dynamic condition. From the results of simulation and tracer tests, it was revealed that porous baffles installed have been effective to reduce dead zone within contactor, and increase plug flow fraction.

Recently, a thermal energy storage system has been developed actively fur the purpose of saving energy and reducing the peak electrical demand. Especially, ice slurry is a promising working fluid for low temperature energy storage systems. A flow of ice crystals has a large cooling capacity as a result of the involvement of latent heat. However, there are still problems related to the recrystallization of ice crystals for realizing long term storage and long distance transportation. To find improvements fur this, a method for the creation of ice crystals resistant to recrystallization has been proposed and researched by the use of an antifreeze protein (AFP) solution etc. In the present study, it has been investigated the growth of ice crystal in several kinds of water solution added non-ionic surfactant. The results shows that size of ice crystal was smaller with increasing in added surfactant. And ice crystal was not increased with added surfactant.

Since the starting reactor used for reducing inrush current of high voltage induction motor applies an electric current only when it is at the stage of transition, it gets lots of electrical or mechanical stress. In this aspect, the reliability on the starting reactor is very important because the reactor-relating-accident takes 80% of all the accident concerned with high voltage motor starting panel. In this study, we conducted an insulation test of starting reactor of high voltage induction motor of intake pumping station to the Seoul area And the result from this study was used as data for determining whether it's still usable or not.

The effect of propylene oxide, butylene oxide, furan resin, and vinylpyrrolidinone in controlling wood dimensional stability have been examined. Wood in the green or ovendry condition was treated with various chemical treatments using a vacuum-pressure procedure, and treated specimens were tested for tangential sweelling, moisture gain, and changes in sorption hysteresis. Results' indicate that propylene oxide, and butylene oxide enhanced with the crosslin king agent trimethylol propane trimethacrylate and applied to ovendry wood were the most efficient chemical treatments in controlling tangential sweeling caused by liquid water or water vapor, and in reducing water vapor adsorption. The sorption behavior of treated wood as depicted by the ratios of sorption was "very favorable" in most instances. In the particular case of furan resin treatments, ratios of sorption were improved from 25 to 100 percent as compared to those of untreated wood.

Soybeans(Hwangkeum Kong) were stored at 5$^{\circ}C$, $25^{\circ}C$ and 35$^{\circ}C$ for 8 months to investigate the changes of the physicochemical properties. Less physicochemical changes were detected in the soybeans stored at 5$^{\circ}C$ than those stored at $25^{\circ}C$ and 35$^{\circ}C$. High temperature and long term storage caused a decrease in the nitrogen solubility index, whereas increases in acid value and organic acid content were detected. As the storage period was extended at high temperatues, the content of unsaturated fatty acids decreased, but the content of saturated fatty acids increased. Decoloration of soybeans was clearly recognized under high temperatures. The water soluble compoents such as total solids, nitrogen and reducing sugar during water-soaking at 2$0^{\circ}C$ for 16hrs were appreciably eluted from the soybeans stored for 8 months at high temperatures. The pH of the water extract slightly shifted to the acidic range.

The electrostatic interaction between emerging quantum-confined nanostructures with plasmonic structures is crucial for future biological applications. Water-soluble green fluorescent copper nanoparticles (Cu-NPs) were fabricated. We demonstrate that L-ascorbic acid is considered as a key to precisely control small Cu-NPs and the capability of the surface ligands, while cetyltrimethylammonium bromide is used as a stabilizing agent controls the particle growth, and stabilizes the nanoparticles. Water-soluble green fluorescent Cu-NPs are tunable through modification of the reaction periods.

Various catalysts such as formic acid, acetic acid, sodium hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate, carbon dioxide and nitrogen gas were used for hydrolyzates production from deoiled mackerel muscle by subcritical water hydrolysis. Above 99% hydrolysis yield was obtained using sodium bicarbonate catalyst at $260^{\circ}C/70bar$. Histamine and heavy metals concentration were reduced in hydrolyzates. Highest amount of amino acid (400.36 mg/g) and reducing sugar (24.75 mg/g) were found in hydrolyzate obtained at $260^{\circ}C/70bar$ and $220^{\circ}C/30bar$, respectively with sodium bicarbonate catalyst. Antioxidant and ACE-inhibitory activities were significantly higher in hydrolyzates obtained using sodium bicarbonate than that of others.
