The purpose of this study is to evaluate the suspended solids and eutrophication processes relationships in Chungju lake using CE-QUAL-W2, two-dimensional (2D) longitudinal/vertical hydrodynamic and water quality model. For water quality modeling, the lake segmentation was configured as 7 branches system according to their shape and tributary distribution. The model was calibrated (2010) and validated (2008) using 2 years of field data of water temperature, suspended solids (SS), total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP) and algae (Chl-a). The water temperature began to increase in depth from April and the stratification occurred at about 10 m early July heavy rain. The high SS concentration of the interflow density currents entering from the watershed was well simulated especially for July 2008 heavy rainfall event. The simulated concentration range of TN and TP was acceptable, but the errors might occur form the poor reflection for sedimentation velocity of nitrogen component and adsorption-sediment of phosphorus in model. The concentration of Chl-a was simulated well with the algal growth patterns in summer of 2010 and 2008, but the error of under estimation may come from the use of width-averaged velocity and concentration, not considering the actual to one side inclination by wind effect.

The kinetics of the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis and water gas shift reactions over a precipitated iron catalyst were studied in a 5 channel fixed-bed reactor. Experimental conditions were changed as follows: synthesis gas $H_2$/CO feed ratios of 0.5~2, reactants flow rate of 60~80 ml/min, and reaction temperature of $255{\sim}275^{\circ}C$ at a constant pressure of 1.5 MPa. The reaction rate of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis was calculated from Eley-Rideal mechanism in which the rate-determining step was the formation of the monomer species (methylene) by hydrogenation of associatively adsorbed CO. Whereas water gas shift reaction rate was determined by the formation of a formate intermediate species as the rate-determining step. As a result, the reaction rates of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis for the hydrocarbon formation and water gas shift for the $CO_2$ production were in good agreement with the experimental values, respectively. Therefore, the reaction rates ($r_{FT}$, $r_{WGS}$, $-r_{CO}$) derived from the reaction mechanisms showed good agreement both with experimental values and with some kinetic models from literature.

This study was conducted to analysis a major cause of rice yield reduction in 4 research points, 1, 2, 3, and 5km, from coastline in the East Sea. There were great changes of temperature in each research point, though the average temperature a day was no difference between each research point. Each temperature in 1, 2, and 3km research points was 8, 7, and $4^{\circ}C$ lower than in 5km when cold salty wind was generated due to cold pool. As it was close in coastline, its soil was abundant sand components, little silt and clay soil components and lacking in cation exchange capacity(CEC). And plant height became a smaller, heading date was delayed for 3～4 days, and dry weight was reduced. Also, it was to be down percent of fertile grain. As cultivation site was close in seaside, its decline was larger because of reduction of panicle number per hill. It was "Samdeogbyeo" that was variety adapted in cold salty wind, having yield potential more than 90% in 2km.

원자층 증착(Atomic Layer Deposition: ALD) 방법은 반응물질들을 펄스형태로 챔버에 공급하여 기판표면에 반응물질의 표면 포화반응에 의한 화학적 흡착과 탈착을 이용한 박막증착기술이다. ALD법은 기존의 화학적 기상증착(Chemical Vapor Deposition: CVD)과 달리 자기 제한적 반응(self-limiting reaction) 에 의하여 반응가스가 기판 표면에서만 반응하고 가스와 가스 간에는 반응하지 않는다. 따라서 박막의 조성 정밀제어가 쉽고, 파티클 발생이 없으며, 대면적의 박막 증착시 균일성이 우수하고, 박막 두께의 정밀 조절이 용이한 장점이 있다. 이러한 ALD 방식으로 3차원의 반도체 장치 구조물에 산화막 등을 형성하는 공정에서 중요한 요소 중의 하나는 전구체의 충분한 공급이다. 따라서 증기압이 높은 전구체를 선호하는 경향이 있다. 그러나 증기압이 낮은 전구체를 사용할 경우, 공급량이 부족하여 단차 도포성(step coverage)이 떨어지는 문제가 있다. 원자층 증착 공정에서 전구체를 충분히 공급하기 위해전구체 온도를 증가시키거나 전구체의 공급시간을 늘리는 방법을 사용한다. 그러나 전구체 온도를 상승시키는 경우, 전구체의 변질이나 수명을 단축시키는 문제점을 발생시킬 수 있으며. 전구체를 충분히 공급하기 위하여 전구체의 공급시간을 늘이는 방법을 사용하면, 원하는 박막을 형성하기 위하여 소요되는 공정시간과 전구체 사용량이 증가된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 반응기 안에서 전구체 노출 시간을 조절하는 새로운 ALD 공정을 소개한다. 특히 이러한 기술을 적용하면 나노튜브를 성장시키는데 매우 유리하다. 본 연구에서 전구체 노출 시간을 조절하기 위하여 사용된 ALD 장비는 Lucida-D200-PL (NCD Technology사)이며 (TEMA)Zr와 H2O를 사용하여 ZrO2 나노튜브를 폴리카보네이트 위에 성장시켰다. 전구체의 노출 시간은 반응기의 Stop 밸브를 이용하여 조절하였으며, SEM, TEM 등을 이용하여 나노튜브의 균일성과 단차피복성 등의 특성을 관찰하였다. 그 결과 전구체 노출시간을 조절함으로써 높은 종횡비를 갖는 나노튜브를 성장 시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 낮은 증기압을 가지는 전구체를 이용하여도 우수한 특성의 나노튜브를 균일하게 성장시킬 수 있었다.

Due to the strong dependence on fossil fuels within the history of human progress, it leads to disaster of the whole world like flood, shortage of water and extinction of the species. In order to curb carbon dioxide emissions, many technologies are being developed. Among them, porous carbon materials have important advantages over other absorbent, such as high surface area, thermal and chemical resistance, low cost, various pore distribution and low energy requirement for their regeneration. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) has attracted the significant research efforts for reducing green house gas emission using several absorbent and process. Moreover, the absorbent are used for the separation of bio mass gas that contains methane which is considered a promising fuel as new green energy resource. In this review, we summarized the recent studies and trend about the porous carbon materials for CCS as well as separation from the biogas.

Mandipropamid is a new mandelamide-type fungicide to control foliar Oomycete pathogens in some vegetables. An analytical method was developed to determine mandipropamid residues in agricultural commodities using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS). Mandipropamid was extracted with methanol from grape, tomato, green pepper, Chinese cabbage and potato samples. The extract was diluted with saturated sodium chloride solution and distilled water, and dichloromethane partition was followed to recover the mandipropamid from the aqueous phase. Florisil column chromatography was employed to further remove interfering co-extractives prior to HPLC analysis. Reverse-phased HPLC was successfully applied to determine mandipropamid in sample extracts with the detection at its ${\lambda}_{max}$ (223 nm). Overall recoveries of mandipropamid from fortified samples averaged $99.8{\pm}1.7$ (n=6), $89.3{\pm}5.3$ (n=6), $98.7{\pm}2.2$ (n=6), $99.7{\pm}6.8$ (n=6) and $91.1{\pm}3.1$ (n=6) for grape, tomato, green pepper, Chinese cabbage and potato, respectively. Limit of quantification of the method was 0.02~0.04 mg/kg for all samples. A LC/mass spectrometry with selected-ion monitoring was also provided to confirm the suspected residue. The proposed method was reproducible and sensitive enough to determine the terminal residue of mandipropamid in agricultural commodities.

As part of an on-going project investigating flux of materials in the Keum River Estuary, we have monitored seasonal variations of nutrients, suspended particulate matter (SPM), chlorophyll, and salinity since 1997. Meteorological data and freshwater discharge from the Keum River Dike were also used, Our goal was to answers for (1) what is the main factor for the seasonal fluctuation of nutrients in the Keum River Estuary? and (2) are there any differences in nutrient distributions before and after the Keum River Dike construction? Nitrate concentrations in the Keum River water were kept constant through the year. Whereas other nutrients varied with evident seasonality: high phosphate and ammonium concentrations during the dry season and enhanced silicate contents during the rainy season. SPM was found similar trend with silicate. During the rainy season, the freshwater discharged from the Keum River Dike seemed to dilute the phosphate and ammonium, but to elevate SPM concentration in the Keum Estuary. In addition, the corresponding variations of SPM contents in the estuarine water affected the seasonal fluctuations of nutrients in the Estuary. The most important source of the nutrients in the estuarine water is the fluvial water. Therefore, the distribution patterns of nutrients in the Estuary are conservative against salinity. Nitrate, nitrite and silicate are conservative through the year. The distribution of phosphate and ammonium on the other hand, display two distinct seasonal patterns: conservative behavior during the dry season and some additive processes during the rainy days. Mass destruction of freshwater phytoplankton in the riverine water is believed to be a major additive source of phosphate in the upper Estuary. Desorption processes of phosphate and ammonium from SPM and organic matter probably contribute extra source of addition. Benthic flux of phosphate and ammonium from the sediment into overlying estuarine water can not be excluded as another source. After the Keum River Dike construction, the concentrations of SPM decreased markedly and their role in controlling of nutrient concentrations in the Estuary has probably diminished. We found low salinity (5~15 psu) within 1 km away from the Dike during the dry season. Therefore we conclude that the only limited area of inner estuary function as a real estuary and the rest part rather be like a bay during the dry season. However, during the rainy season, the entire estuary as the mixing place of freshwater and seawater. Compared to the environmental conditions of the Estuary before the Dike construction, tidal current velocity and turbidity are decreased, but nutrient concentrations and chance of massive algal bloom such as red tide outbreak markedly increased.
