본 연구는 서로 다른 조건에서 질산화를 유도한 반응기의 군집동태를 살피기 위해 DGGE를 이용하여 반응기 초기의 슬러지 구성 군집의 상태와 질산화 유도후의 군집변화를 살펴보고자 하였다. DGGE의 전체 profile에 의하면 군집을 조성하는 개체군의 수가 상당히 축소되었다는 점과 비배양적인 질산화균이 여전히 많다는 점, 그리고 호기조건과 미호기/무산소 조건에 공존하는 band가 많은 것으로 볼 때 예상보다는 산소에 대해 내성이 있는 질산화균이 많다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study is to confirm the effects of a 6-week high-intensity combined training program on canoe athletes' cardiorespiratory function, isokinetic trunk strength, and anaerobic power. For the purpose of this study, the high-intensity combined training program was applied to 9 high-school canoe athletes. The high-intensity combined training program consists of aerobic exercise performed 2 times a week (Tuesday and Thursday), anaerobic exercise performed 3 times a week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday), and flexibility exercise performed 5 times a week. The core of the high-intensity combined training program was the anaerobic training program performed with 100% weight for repetition; otherwise, the existing training method was divided into the percentage (%) of the 1RM. The aerobic exercise and the gym ball exercise are performed subsidiarily. Results showed that there was a statistically significant difference in height and muscle mass, whereas there was no statistically significant difference in weight, body fat percentage, and BMI followed by the high-intensity combined training program. There were statistically significant differences in maximum oxygen uptake and total exercise time. The angular velocity of 30°/sec showed a statistically significant difference in the peak torque item of flexors only. Also, the angular velocity of 120°/sec showed a statistically significant difference in the total work item of extensors only; however, there was no statistically significant difference in all the items of peak power, average power, and peak drop. In conclusion, it seems that the high-intensity combined training program may be applied as a training program for enhancing canoe athletes' performance. For further studies, more than 6 weeks training program with more participants would show improved results of isokinetic strength and anaerobic power in athlets.

Objective : Cardiopulmonary exercise test is a useful tool to evaluate the operative risk and to plan exercise treatment for the patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD). In cardiopulmonary exercise test, most of the measured parameters are recorded at the time of peak exercise, which are hard to attain in COPD patients. So we evaluated the usefulness of the parameter, breathing reserve index(BRI=minute ventilation [$V_E$]/maximal voluntary ventilation[MVV]) at the time of anaerobic threshold($BRI_{AT}$) for the differentiation of COPD patients with normal controls. Methods : Thirty-six COPD patients and forty-two healthy subjects underwent progressive, incremental exercise test with bicycle ergometer upto possible maximal exercise. All the parameters was measured by breath by breath method. Results : The maximal oxygen uptake in COPD patients (mean$\pm$SE) was $1061.2{\pm}65.6ml/min$ which was significantly lower than $2137.6{\pm}91.4ml/min$ of normal subjects(p<0.01). Percent predicted maximal oxygen uptake was 54.3% in COPD patients and 86.0% in normal subjects(p<0.01). Maximal exercise(respiratory quotient; $VCO_2/VO_2{\geq}1.09$) was accomplished in 7 of 36 COPD patients(19.4%) and in 18 of 42 normal subjects(42.9%). The $BRI_{AT}$ of COPD patients was higher($0.50{\pm}0.03$) than that of control subject($028{\pm}0.02$, p<0.01), reflecting early hyperventilation in COPD patient during exercise. The correlation between $BRI_{AT}$ and BRI at maximal exercise in COPD patients was good(r=0.9687, p<0.01). Conclusion : The $BRI_{AT}$ could be a useful parameter for the differentiation of COPD patients with normal controls in the submaximal cardiopulmonary exercise test.

In the operation of submerged membrane-coupled sequencing batch reactor, the effect of filling step on the removal efficiency and filtration performance were investigated. Two sets of operation modes, the filling step located in the beginning of aerobic step (Mode-1) and the beginning of anoxic step (Mode-2), during 89 days were conducted. There was no wide difference in the COD removal and filtration performance between two sets of operation modes. But in the removal efficiency of nutrients (total nitrogen and total phosphorous), Mode-2 was more effective than Mode-1. In the case of Mode-2, average removal efficiencies of COD, total nitrogen, and total phosphorous were 99.1, 73.3, and 77.3%, respectively.

The purposes of this study were to observe the effects of the exercise programs which have different order of walking and resistance exercises on the composition of the abdominal fat and the blood lipid profiles of the obese college women and to provide basic materials for the development of more effective and more efficient exercise program in order to reduce and prevent obesity. Classification of group, "A" group(resistance exercise after aerobic exercise) is a group of 12 people, "B" group(resistance exercise after aerobic exercise) is a group of 12 people. To determine the abdominal fat, intestine fat area, subcutaneous fat area, ratio of intestine fat area/subcutaneous fat area were analyzed, while for the blood lipid profiles, total cholesterol, triglyceride, high density lipid protein, and low density lipid protein were analyzed. First, there was statistically significant difference in the interaction in the abdomen subcutaneous fat. In the post analysis, the Resistance first group showed significantly more reduction to confirm that there was difference according to the order of the exercises. Second, there was statistically significant difference in the interaction effects in the factor of triglyceride. In the post analysis, the Resistance first group only showed significant reduction in the triglyceride to confirm that resistance exercise followed by aerobics would be better for the reduction of the triglyceride.

To develop small-scale sewage treatment apparatus for detached house of agricultural village, a small-scale sewage treatment apparatus by natural purification method that consisted of packaged form of aerobic, anoxic and anaerobic bed was constructed. The efficiency of sewage treatment according to the sewage treatment method, sewage loading, and the injection method of sewage were investigated for small-scale sewage treatment apparatus of packaged form of aerobic, anoxic and anaerobic bed. The removal rate of pollutants according to the sewage treatment method for small-scale sewage treatment apparatus was high in the order of aerobic-anoxic-anoxic bed < aerobic-anoxic-anaerobic bed. The optimum filter media in small-scale sewage treatment apparatus was a broken stone. The removal rate of pollutants according to sewage loading in small-scale sewage treatment apparatus was high in the order of $1,200L/m^2{\cdot}day\fallingdotseq900L/m^2{\cdot}day\fallingdotseq600L/m^2{\cdot}day$. The removal rate of pollutants according to injection method of sewage in small-scale sewage treatment apparatus was high in the order of continuous injection $\fallingdotseq$ intermittent injection. When loaded under the optimum conditions, removal rate of BOD, COD, SS, T-N and T-P were 99, 95, 99, 83 and 96%, respectively, through this 3-stepped small-scale treatment apparatus arrayed with the order of aerobic, anoxic and anaerobic bed.

A total of 110 surface sediment were analyzed in order to understand the geochemical eharacteristics of the surface sediments and to evaluate the benthic environmental condition of Gwangyang Bay. The surface sedimentary distribution can be classified by five facies; mud (M), sandy mud (sM), sand (S), muddy sand (mS) and gravely sand mud ((g)sM). However, mud face is the predominant sedimentary feature of the Gwangyang Bay. The benthic environment based on total organic carbon/total nitrogen (C/N) and total organic carbon/total sulfur (C/S) ratios of organic matter showed that anoxic environment is prevailed in some parts of the study area because the C/S ratio of organic matter was higher than 2.8. The hydrogen sulfide (H$_2$S) content showed extreme variability from site to site. It varies from 307 ppm to 1 ppm (average, 92 ppm). The inter-relationship of redox-sensitive elements (Mn, V, Mo and Cr) showed a relatively strong positive relationship with high accumulation in the sediment at the inner sites of the Bay (left of Myo Island). High content of TOC and hydrogen sulfide, and a high accumulation rate of redox- sensitive element were predominant characteristics in the sediments at the inner sites of the Bay (left of Myo Island), suggesting that this area is in an oxygen deficient, and potentially polluted condition.

Surface of hydrophobic media was modified to become hydrophilic by ion beam irradiation. Fixed bed biofilm reactors packed with or without surface modification were used to remove organics, nitrogen, and phosphorus from sewage. This system composed of anoxic/oxic cycles to increase the nutrient removal. A cylindrical polyethylene was used as a packing media in this study. With 12 hours of hydraulic retention time (HRT), the reactors with and without surface modification showed 95% and 92% $COD_{cr}$ removal, respectively. Both reactors showed over 95% $COD_{cr}$ removals for a longer HRT of 16 hours. Nitrogen removal ranged 54.8% to 70.2% for the surface modified system and 57.5% to 76.5% for the non-modified system under same condition. Finally, phosphorus removal ranged 59.4% to 69.8% for the surface modified system and 51.3% to 63.4% for the non-modified system under same condition. From this study organics and phosphorus were better removed in using surface modified media and vice versa for nitrogen removal.

A membrane bioreactor (MBR) is an effective tool for wastewater treatment with recycling. MBR process has several advantages over conventional activated sludge process (ASP); reliability, compactness, and quality of treated water. The resulting high-quality and disinfected effluents suggest that MBR process can be suitable for the reused and recycling of wastewater. An anoxic/oxic (A/O) type MBR was applied to simultaneous removal of organics and nutrients in sewage. At first, the efficiency of submerged MBR process was investigated using a hollow fiber microfiltration membrane with a constant flux of $10.2L/m^2{\cdot}h$ at each solids retention time (SRT). Results showed that protein/carbohydrate (P/C) ratio increased and total extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) remained constant with SRT increased. Secondly, A/O type MBR with a reverse osmosis (RO) membrane was employed to treat the municipal wastewater. The performance of A/O type MBR-RO process is better for the treatment of organics and nutrients than ASP-MF-RO process in terms of consistent effluents quality.

The feasibility and stability of ORP, pH(mV) and DO as a real-time control parameter for SBR process were evaluated in this study. During operation, NBP(nitrogen break point) and NKP(nitrate knee point), which reveal the biological and chemical changes of pollutants, were clearly observed on ORP and pH(mV)-time profiles, and those control points were easily detected by tracking the moving slope changes(MSC). However, when balance of aeration rate to loading rate, or to OUR(oxygen uptake rate), was not optimally maintained, either false NBP was occurred on ORP and DO curves before the appearance of real NBP or specific NBP feature was disappeared on ORP curve. Under that condition, however, very distinct NBP was found on pH(mV)-time profile, and stable detection of that point was feasible by tracking MSC. These results might mean that pH(mV) is superior real-time control parameter for aerobic process than ORP and DO. Meanwhile, as a real-time control parameter for anoxic process, ORP was very stable and more useful parameter than others. Based on these results, a stable real-time control of process can be achieved by using the ORP and pH(mv) parameters in combination rather than using separately. A complete removal of pollutants could be always ensured with this real-time control technology, despite the variations of wastewater and operation condition, as well as an optimization of treatment time and capacity could be feasible.
