Thermodynamic data of mineral reactions were used to construct a phase diagram for the formation of illite from andalusite at one bar and 325${\circ}C$ in the hydrothermal alteration. Based on chemical compositions, the free energy of formation of illite coexisting with andalusite was calculated by assuming the ideal mixing ina bunary system consisting of muscovite and pyrophyllite components. For illite with structural formula $K_{0.86}Al_{2.93}Si_{3.03}O_{10}(OH)_2$, its free energy of formation is -1147.727 kcal/mole at the condition under consideration. The stability area of illite is more narrow than that of end-member muscovite and prefers lower activity of silica. Illite was formed by hydration of andalusite while pyrophyllite decomposed. Illitization took place preferentially at margin and/or along fractures of andalusite.

The transport rates of $K^+$ion through CHCl$_3$ liquid membrane containing dibenzo-18-crown-6(DBC) as a carrier molecule have been determined at $25^{\circ}C$. The transport rates depend highly on the ion concentration and on the nature of anion. It is concluded that $K^+$ions are transported in the form of ion-pair. In the case of potassium picrate, however, it is found that the transport proceeds with the formation of the incomplete ion-pair in the concentration less than 1.0 ${\times}10^{-3}$M of picrate, while with the complete formation of ion-pair in the concentration more than 1.0 ${\times}10^{-3}$M of picrate. Seven steps of the transport process are suggested and they can be illustrated in terms of energy barrier model as a function of the position of ionic species in the membrane.

최근 들어 이상 강우 현상으로 인한 기록적인 집중 강우와 더불어 토지 이용 변화로 인해 탁수의 발생 빈도가 증가하고 있다. 강우 유출로 유입한 탁수는 저수지 내 장기간 체류하면서 하류 하천의 수질 및 수생태계 뿐만 아니라 저수지 내부의 영양단계에도 많은 영향을 준다. 특히, 성층화된 저수지의 경우 높은 영양염류 농도를 포함한 탁수는 밀도류 거동 특성을 보이면서 수평 및 수직 혼합 과정을 거치면서 국부적인 부영양화 현상과 조류의 수화 현상의 원인이 되고 있다. 따라서 대형 저수지의 수질관리에 있어 하천 유입 탁수의 밀도류 해석, 저수지의 수온 성층 구조 변화, 부유입자의 동력학적 해석이 중요한 요소로 부각되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 소양호를 연구 대상 지역으로 선정하여 2005년과 2007년 수문 사상을 바탕으로 2차원 횡방향 수치 모형을 구축하였다. 수치모형을 통해 수온 성층 구조의 재현성을 확인하였으며, 다양한 탁수 거동 모형을 구축하여 적용성을 평가하였다. 유입수의 SS(Suspended Solid)를 단일 입경으로 가정한 TM-1 모형, SS의 입경분포에 따라 3개의 그룹(SSi)으로 구분한 TM-2 모형, 3개 그룹을 포함하면서 저수지내 탁수 장기화로 인한 탁수 저감 효과를 1차 반응상수로 매개 변수화(유기물 함량($a_0$) ${\times}$ 분해속도(${\lambda}_a$))하여 수정된 지배방정식을 적용한 TM-3 모형을 사용하였다. 각각의 탁수 거동 모형은 2005년과 2007년 수문 조건에서 수온 성층 구조를 잘 재현하였다. TM-1 모형과 TM-2 모형을 비교해보면, 탁수 중심축의 최고 탁도에 대한 예측 성능은 TM-2 모형이 우수한 결과를 나타냈었다. 하지만, 장기 탁수 모의 시 저수지 수중 잔류 SS가 지속적으로 높게 나타나 중층 탁도를 과대평가하는 경향을 보였다. TM-3 모형이 TM-2 모형에 비해 수심별 탁도 분포에 대한 중심축 탁도가 저평가되는 경향을 보였지만 저수지 내 잔류 탁도에 대한 영향 부분에서는 개선된 결과를 나타내었다. 본 연구 결과는 저수지 탁수 밀도류 해석 및 운영 시스템에 활용 될 수 있으며, 선택 취수 설비 등의 수리 구조물의 영향 평가에 활용할 수 있다.

Alkali activators that stimulate mineral compounds are expensive materials, but in order to replace industrial products of high alkali in gredien ts, both product an d econ omic feasibility must be satisfied. In this study, alkali in dustrial waste(LW) from the LCD man ufacturin g process were used for the purpose of alkali active reaction of GGBFS for high stren gth concrete over 50MPa. Concrete mixed with LW had reduced workability, but it had the characteristic of increasing compressive strength. Analysis using ACI 209 Compressive Strength Model Equation was made to compare the changes in strength coefficients according to LW mixing. The durability test of concrete, such as Chloride Penetration Resistance and carbonation resistance, also showed excellent performance. In the Adiabatic temperature rise test results, the concrete mixed with LW had the effect of accelerating the initial hydration heat. However, the final Adiabatic temperature rise was not significantly affected by the mixing of LW.

Friedel's salt is an important product of chemical adsorption between cement hydrate and chloride ions because it contains chlorine in its structure. When cement reacts with water in the presence of chloride ions, the $C_3A$ phase, and $C_4AF$ phase react with chloride to produce Friedel's salt. If chloride ions penetrate into concrete from external environments, many calcium aluminate hydrates, including AFm, can bind chloride ions. It is very important, therefore, to investigate the chloride binding isotherm of $C_3A$ phase, $C_4AF$ phase, and AFm phase to gain a better understanding of chloride binding in cementitious materials. Meanwhile, the adsorption isotherm can provide us with the fundamental information for the understanding of adsorption process. The experimental results of the isotherm can supply not only the quantitative knowledge of the cement-Friedel's salt system, but also the mechanism of adsorption and the properties of their interactions. The purpose of this study is to explore the time dependant behaviors of chloride ions adsorption with $C_3A$, $C_4AF$ and AFm phases. The chloride adsorption isotherm was depicted with Langmuir isotherm and the adsorption capacity was low in terms of the stoichiometric point of view. However, the chloride adsorption of AFm phase was depicted with Freundlich isotherm and the value was very low. Since the amount of the adsorption was governed by temperature, the affecting parameters of isotherm were expressed as a function of temperature.

For the geological disposal of high-level radioactive wastes (HLW), an understanding of deep subsurface environment is essential through geological, hydrogeological, geochemical, and geotechnical investigations. Although South Korea plans the geological disposal of HLW, only a few studies have been conducted for characterizing the geochemistry of deep subsurface environment. To guide the hydrogeochemical research for selecting suitable repository sites, this study overviewed the status and trends in hydrogeochemical characterization of deep groundwater for the deep geological disposal of HLW in developed countries. As a result of examining the selection process of geological disposal sites in 8 countries including USA, Canada, Finland, Sweden, France, Japan, Germany, and Switzerland, the following geochemical parameters were needed for the geochemical characterization of deep subsurface environment: major and minor elements and isotopes (e.g., ³⁴S and ¹⁸O of SO₄^2-, ¹³C and ¹⁴C of DIC, ²H and ¹⁸O of water) of both groundwater and pore water (in aquitard), fracture-filling minerals, organic materials, colloids, and oxidation-reduction indicators (e.g., Eh, Fe²⁺/Fe³⁺, H₂S/SO₄^2-, NH₄⁺/NO₃^-). A suitable repository was selected based on the integrated interpretation of these geochemical data from deep subsurface. In South Korea, hydrochemical types and evolutionary patterns of deep groundwater were identified using artificial neural networks (e.g., Self-Organizing Map), and the impact of shallow groundwater mixing was evaluated based on multivariate statistics (e.g., M3 modeling). The relationship between fracture-filling minerals and groundwater chemistry also has been investigated through a reaction-path modeling. However, these previous studies in South Korea had been conducted without some important geochemical data including isotopes, oxidationreduction indicators and DOC, mainly due to the lack of available data. Therefore, a detailed geochemical investigation is required over the country to collect these hydrochemical data to select a geological disposal site based on scientific evidence.

Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is an inflammatory skin disease and regarded as a prototype of T-cell mediated delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions. Poly-${\gamma}$-glutamic acid (PGA) is a biodegradable polymer that is produced by Bacillus subtilis. This study was performed to assess the effects of PGA in a canine model of ACD. ACD was induced on the back of dogs induced by sensitization and repeated application by 2,4-dinitro-1-chlorobenzene (DNCB). Topical treatment of PGA was applied once a day for 12 days and skin biophysical parameters including transepidermal water loss (TEWL), skin hydration, skin pH, skin thickness and erythema index, were measured every two days during experimental periods. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry were performed to evaluate the antiinflammatory effect. In skin biophysical parameters, TEWL, skin hydration, skin thickness and erythema index were significantly increased, with a maximum increase appeared on day 2 (p < 0.05). On the other hand, skin pH was significantly decreased, with a maximum decrease appeared on day 2 (p < 0.01). After the completion of PGA treatment, skin biophysical parameters were significantly reached those of baseline in a time-dependent manner (p < 0.05). In histopathology, marked increases of epidermal thicknesses were induced after DNCB challenge with numerous inflammatory cell infiltrations and edematous changes, decreases of connective tissue occupied regions in dermis. In addition, marked increases of cytokine - tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ (TNF-${\alpha}$) and interferon-${\gamma}$ (IFN-${\gamma}$)-immunoreactivities in the dermis and of apoptotic markers - caspase-3 and PARP-immunoreactivities in the epidermis were observed in DNCB-PBS control as compared with intact control, respectively (p < 0.01). It means, the ACD and related apoptotic changes were induced by DNCB in the present study. However, these ACD induced by DNCB and related apoptosis in epidermis were significantly inhibited by treatment of PGA treated skin, the decreases of infiltrated inflammatory cells and related decreases of pro-inflammatory cytokine immunoreactivities were also observed (p < 0.01). Based on these findings, PGA may have anti-inflammatory and alleviatory effects in the allergic contact dermatitis.

Purpose: To study the effect of recombinant human epidermal growth factor (rhEGF) on oral mucositis induced by cisplatin and radiotherapy in a mouse model. Materials and Methods: Twenty-four ICR mice were divided into three groups-the normal control group, the no rhEGF group (treatment with cisplatin and radiation) and the rhEGF group (treatment with cisplatin, radiation and rhEGF). A model of mucositis induced by cisplatin and radiotherapy was established by injecting mice with cisplatin (10 mg/kg) on day 1 and with radiation exposure (5 Gy/day) to the head and neck on days $1{\sim}5$. rhEGF was administered subcutaneously on days -1 to 0 (1 mg/kg/day) and on days 3 to 5 (1 mg/kg/day). Evaluation included body weight, oral intake, and histology. Results: For the comparison of the change of body weight between the rhEGF group and the no rhEGF group, a statistically significant difference was observed in the rhEGF group for the 5 days after day 3 of. the experiment. The rhEGF group and no rhEGF group had reduced food intake until day 5 of the experiment, and then the mice demonstrated increased food intake after day 13 of the of experiment. When the histological examination was conducted on day 7 after treatment with cisplatin and radiation, the rhEGF group showed a focal cellular reaction in the epidermal layer of the mucosa, while the no rhEGF group did not show inflammation of the oral mucosa. Conclusion: These findings suggest that rhEGF has a potential to reduce the oral mucositis burden in mice after treatment with cisplatin and radiation. The optimal dose, number and timing of the administration of rhEGF require further investigation.
