The study for soil has been conducted separately by several areas such as soil mechanics and soil chemistry. Soil is important in terms of prediction of how the plant grow with nutrient requirement. Also, soil is important for machines to work on to solve labor shortage and save farmers from harsh environment during farm work. To meet diverse needs related to soil in agriculture, the soil related study needs to be conducted synthetically. Thus, we tried to obtain the data related to soil chemistry including pH and Electrical Conductivity (EC) with data related to soil mechanics including Cone Index (CI), moisture content, soil classification. Specifically, the condition of the field was set to be cultivated at least for five years continuously at a first step. The soil was taken from 30 sites. CI was obtained using the soil penetrometer and soil classification was conducted using sieve analysis with eight kinds of sieve. The soil was taken on December when is during winter in Korea. There was variation of data including moisture content and CI.

섬유염색산업 중 면섬유의 염색과정에서 발생되는 머서라이징 폐액은 폐수처리장의 pH(수소이온농도)를 올리는 주원인이 되고 있어, 높은 pH에 따른 폐수처리 부과금이나 황산을 이용한 폐수 중화에 사용되는 약품비용이 과다하게 소요되고 있으며, 머서라이징공정에 사용되는 약품인 가성소다 비용이 계속 증가하고 있어, 기업의 환경처리비용 및 약품소모비용에 대한 부담이 매우 큰 실정이다. 본 기술은 머서라이징 폐액에 멤브레인 공정에 적용하여 폐가성소다로부터 가성소다를 회수할 뿐만 아니라, 회수된 가성소다를 다시 머서라이징 공정에 재이용할 수 있도록 하여 약품 절감효과 뿐만 아니라 폐수의 발생량과 오염물질의 농도의 획기적인 저감이 가능한 것이다. 본 연구에서는 서로 다른 기공크기를 갖는 막을 적용하여 투과플럭스, 부피회수율, 부유물질 및 유기물 제거율, 가성소다회수율, 파울링지수 등을 고려하여 폐수 특성에 맞는 가장 적합한 막을 선정하고, 각각의 막에 대하여 온도조건, 압력조건, 화학세정 등의 운전변수를 최적화, 고효율 폐알카리 회수 장치의 경제성 및 기술적 타당성 평가를 통한 가성소다 회수공정을 구성하였다.

Yoneyama 등이 2001년 기존의 potentiometry 형의 요소 센서보다 우수한 성능을 갖는ampeometry 정의 요소 센서를 제안한 이후, 전자 전달 메커니즘에 관한 관심이 집중되어 왔으나, urease로부터 전극 기질까지의 전자 전달 매질로서 전도성 고분자보다 쉽고 단순한 공정은 아직까지 제시된 바 없다. 본 논문에서는 전도성 고분자로서 polypyrrole(PPy)과 poly(3-methylthiophene)(P3MT)을 이용하여 다공성 실리콘(PS) 요소 센서를 제작하고 각각의 특성을 전기화학적으로 분석하였다. Urease 고정화 전압, 고정화 시간, 고정화 시의 효소 농도, 수소이온 농도 등이 감도에 미치는 영향은 PPy 와 P3MT 각각의 경우 유사한 경향성을 보였다. 감도 특성의 경우, PPy는 다공질 실리콘 전극과 평면 전극 각각에 대하여 1.55 ${\mu}A/mM{\cdot}cm^2$와 0.91 ${\mu}A/mM{\cdot}cm^2$였고, P3MT의 경우는 각각 8.44 ${\mu}A/mM{\cdot}cm^2$와 4.28 ${\mu}A/mM{\cdot}cm^2$의 감도를 보였다. 즉, PPy가 P3MT 보다 일반적으로 높은 감도를 보였고, 다공질 실리콘 전극을 사용하는 경우, 그렇지 않은 경우보다 약 2배외 감도 향상 효과를 기대할 수 있었다. 재현성이나 안정성의 경우는 P3MT 가 PPy 보다 우수하였다. 사용 빈도에 따른 감도 저하는 다공질 실리콘 전극의 경우 직선적으로 감소하셨으나 평면 전극의 경우는 지수함수적으로 감소하였다 시간에 따른 감도 저하 현상은 만15일 이후의 감도를 기준으로 하여, 10% 미만의 감도저하를 보임으로써 PPy, P3MT 모두 우수한 특성을 보였다.

Purpose : With improved survival of extremely low birth weight infants (ELBWI), there is an increase in the incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) requiring laparotomy, and the risk of morbidity and mortality in these ELBWI is increased. Thus, we determined the prognostic factors in ELBWI who underwent laparotomy for NEC. Methods : We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 35 ELBWI who underwent laparotomy for NEC from January 2001 to December 2008 at Samsung Medical Center. Results : Of 480 ELBWI, 35 required laparotomy for NEC; the mortality rate was 20% (Alive group n=28, Dead group n=7). The values of preoperative score for neonatal acute physiology-II (P =0.022) and fraction of inspired oxygen (P <0.001) were significantly higher in the dead group and values of base excess (P =0.004) were significantly lower in the dead group. Values of preoperative heart rate, respiration rate, mean blood pressure, pH, $CO_2$, and potassium ion were not significantly different between the study groups. Intraoperative fluid volume was significantly higher in the alive group than in the dead group (P =0.045). Postoperative infusion rate was significantly lower in the alive group than in the dead group (P =0.022). Conclusion : Good preoperative condition, more intraoperative fluid infusion, and stable postoperative hemodynamic condition were factors associated with favorable prognosis of laparotomy for NEC in ELBWI.

Geochemical data of soil and water samples were presented in order to assess the environmental impart for drinking water sites. Microscopic observation of rock samples and physical and chemical analysis of soil and water samples were undertaken. The geology of study areas are classified into three groups such as granitic rocks, meta-sedimentary rocks and sedimentary rocks. Enrichment of heavy metals derived from those rocks is not found in this study areas. Soils were analyzed for Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd and Cr using AAS extracted by HNO$_3$+HClO$_4$ and 0.1 N HCl. Heavy metal concentrations in soils are within the range of those in uncontaminated soils. In comparison of metal contents extracted by 0.1 N HCl and HNO$_3$+HC1O$_4$, less than 10% of the heavy metals are present in the exchangeable fraction. In particular, an pollution index has been proposed to assess the degree of soil contamination. Pollution index in soils are between 0.03 and 0.47 therefore, soils are not polluted with heavy metals. Deep groundwaters within granitic rocks have been evolved into Na$\^$＋/-HCO$_3$$\^$-/ type, whereas other deep groundwaters evolved into Ca$\^$2＋/-HCO$_3$$\^$-/ type. The predominance of Na$\^$＋/ over Ca$\^$2＋/ in deep groundwaters within granitic rocks is a result of dissolution of plagioclase, but for sedimentary and meta-sedimentary rocks, dissolution of calcite is a dominant factor for their hydrogeochemistry. The pH, conductivity and contents of the most dissolved ions in the water increase with depth. Shallow groundwaters, however, are highly susceptible to pollution owing to agricultural activities, considering the fact that high contents of nitrate, chloride and potassium, and high K/Na ratio are observed in some shallow groundwaters. In a thermodynamic approach, most natural water samples are plotted within the stability fields of kaolinite and smectite. Therefore, microcline and other feldspars will alter to form clay minerals, such as kaolinite and smectite. From the modelling for water-rock interactions based on mass balance equation, models accord well with behavior of the ions and results of thermodynamic studies are derived.

The purpose of this study was to develop the wireless pH telemetry lasting longer than 24 hours in the mouth to overcome the limits of conventional wire telemetry previously used for salivary and plaque pH measurement, and to assess its effectiveness. We developed a wireless pH telemeter which can measure and store the pH profile data during more than 24 hours. It was composed of intraoral part; pH sensor of antimony electrode, battery and microprocessor for data storage, and extraoral part; control/data receiver and data analyzing software which was newly made for this device. After inspecting wireless electrode for accurate measurement, it was attached to the removable intraoral appliance and delivered to the volunteer who was told to wear except brushing time, retrieved after 24 hours and finally the pH profile data was extracted and analyzed. When compared with conventional wire telemetry, this device showed similar results and induced less discomfort to examinees. The data showed pH changes at same time when examinees ate various scheduled foods and beverages. With this method it became possible to accurately measure pH changes within mouth for long time in accordance with individual's lifestyle, definitely reducing the discomfort inflicted to the examinees' life.

Complex formation of magnesium-Eriochrome Black T at constant ionic strength and hydrogen ion concentration have been studied spectrophotometrically in acetonitrile solution. The measured pH values were calibrated with standard buffer solutions by using a glass electrode Ag/0.1M $AgNO_3$ reference electrode couple. The results are as follows;$E_{glass}=716+59.1\;logA_{H+}[mv]$+(in mv. vs. Ag reference electrode for picric acid $-10^{-3}M$ tetramethylammonium picrate buffer), and $E_{glass}=1,193+59.1\;logA_{H+}[mv]$(in mv. vs. Ag reference electrode for 1,3-diphenylguanidine $-3{\times}10^{-3}M $ 1,3-diphenylguanidine perchlorate buffer). The acid dissociation exponent of ligand, $ pK_{H,EBT-}$was found to be 9.1. The conditional formation constants of $MgEBT^{-}$complex by log-ratio method were 3.97 (when m = 2) and 5.02 (when m = 1) as $log K_n$, respectively, for the reaction of $H_mEBT^{(3-m)-} + Mg^{2+} {\leftrightarrow}MgEBT^{-} + mH^{+}$. The present study showed that$MgEBT^{-}$ has the composition of 1:1 which agrees with the result of Schwarzenbach et al. in aqueous solution.

In this study, the analysis of river naturalness and water quality were executed in the major rivers of the Nakdong River Basin. As a result, the assessment index of the General Evaluation was 1.428 to 4.107 as $1^{st}$ to $4^{th}$ grades. The River Shape was 1.929 to 4.429 as $2^{nd}$ to $4^{th}$ grades and the River Environment was 1.774 to 3.643 as $1^{st}$ to $4^{th}$ grades. As well, evaluation of water quality showed that concentration of pH was 7.102 to 8.497 mg/l, BOD was 0.748 to 5.271 mg/l, DO was 5.077 to 12.335 mg/l and 55 was 3.658 to 19.960 mg/l. The correlation between river naturalness and water quality was analyzed to investigate similarity and independence of river naturalness evaluation index. It was shown that coefficient of correlation was low with value of -0.1503 to -0.5886, therefore, was evaluated as independent.
