This research investigated the influences of excessively careful driving as well as chronic disease and medications on dangerousness of traffic accident in elderly drivers. Ninety-one drivers aged 65 years and older participated in the research. To evaluate the driving behavior, we used the self-rating on driving ability questionnaire asking driving speed, the amount of driving and driving situation adaptability' and surveyed the drive career, the number of violations and accidents experience(crash, crashed) for last three years. A review of the driving patterns of elderly drivers showed that the speed and amount of driving were decreased by increasing age. 'Driving- Situational Adaptability (DSA)' consisted of 2 factors such as 'Social Environment(SE)' and 'Physical Environment(PE)'. Elderly drivers reported that their confidence level was lower in PE than in SE. Moreover they had higher difficulty and stress in PE than in SE. DSA of elderly drivers had significant correlations with 'crash' and 'crashed'. This implies that excessively careful driving of elderly drivers directly associated with accidents. Elderly drivers who have nervous system disease or gastritis had more crash accidents. The majority of elderly drivers which take medicine by chronic disease don't think that medications give don't difficulty or inconvenience in driving and constantly drives during a term of taking medicine.

중유를 연소하는 D 발전소 탈황설비는 운전시간의 경과에 따라 흡수탑 중간층에 석고가 쌓이고 가스분사 파이프 내에 경질석고 스케일이 부착됨으로써 발전설비 및 탈황설비의 정상적인 운전이 어렵게 된다. 흡수탑 내부에 발생된 스케일을 제거하지 않을 경우에는 탈황효율의 저하에 따른 SO2 배출농도의 증가로 발전가능 최대출력의 하향조정이 발생되고 나아가 발전정지를 초래한다. 스케일 제거를 위한 탈황설비 세정은 발전가능 최대출력의 하향조정이 발생하는 시점으로 결정할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 탈황설비의 운전 자료를 분석하여 발전가능 최대출력의 하향조정이 발생되기 6주 전은 탈황설비 출구 SO2 농도값이 130ppm을 초과하고 동시에 흡수탑 차압은 380mmH2O을 초과하며, 직전 흡수탑 세정 이후 44주가 경과된 시점이 됨을 확인하였다. 그리고 흡수탑의 세정시기는 세정준비기간 6주와 발전가능 최대출력 하향이 발생되기 6주 전까지의 운전경과일수 44주를 더하여 직전 세정시점으로부터 50주가 경과된 시점임을 예측하였다.

PWR 원전의 냉각재 화학 및 체적제어 계통(CVCS) 정화 탈염기는 핵연료에서 방출된 핵분열 생성물질과 방사성 부식생성물을 제거하여 계통 내 방사능 준위를 낮추고, 부식을 유발하는 불순물을 제거하여 계통의 건전성을 유지하며, pH 조절제인 리튬($^{7}$ Li$_3$)의 농도조절을 통해 냉각계 수화학 환경을 최적으로 유지시킨다. 이를 위해 CVCS에는 정화용 혼상 탈염기와 $^{7}$ Li$_3$ 조절용 양이온 탈염기가 설치되었으며, 각각의 탈염기는 독립적인 기능을 수행한다. 이는 원전 운전 중 중성자와 붕소($^{10}$ B$_{5}$ )의 핵반응으로 생성된 $^{7}$ Li$_3$3 의 회수가 불가능하기 때문에 정화 탈염기에는 값비싼 $^{7}$ Li$_3$ 포화형 수지를 충전하여야 한다. Pn 원전은 연료교체를 위해 주기적으로 연료계장전 기간을 갖으며 이에 따라 원자로 기동 수화학, 운전중 B/Li 농도조절에 의한 pH 화학, 원자로 정지화학 등의 주기적인 냉각재 수화학 관리를 해오고 있다. 본 연구에서는 효율적인 정화탈염기의 운영방안을 제시함으로 운전중 붕소의 핵분열로 생성되는 $^{7}$ Li$_3$ 의 회수가 가능하고 수지의 사용량 절감으로 수지폐기물 발생량 저감화를 이를 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

In this paper, the removal efficiency of THMs (Trihalomethanes) and DOC (Disolved organic carbon) was compared under different GAC (Granual activated carbon) filling methods. One method is "full filling method" in which column is fully filled with GAC at once and the other is "periodic cumulative method" in which column is partially filled with GAC (10, 20, 33 and 50% of total column volume) and added each ratio during 300 days. The effluent concentration of both THMs and DOC under full filling method was low during the initial period, however, steadily increased with operating time. In the contrast, with periodic cumulative method, it maintained (relatively) evenly during the operating period. Periodic cumulative method was more efficient for removing THMs than full filling method. However, when the ratio of chlorodibromomethane or bromoform among THMs was significantly higher than chloroform and bromodichloromethane, full filling method was more efficient than periodic cumulative method. Full filling method had benefit to total DOC removal and control of average DOC concentration in effluent. Overall, periodic cumulative method is more efficient to equalize the removal efficiency of THMs and DOC, so the more frequent refilling of column with small amount of GAC is more advantageous.

Molecular methods were employed to investigate microorganisms in a thermophilic continuous stirred tank reactor(CSTR) used for continuous $H_2$ production. The reactor was inoculated with heat-treated anaerobic sludge and fed with a glucose-based medium. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis showed dynamic changes of bacterial populations in the reactor during 43 days of operation. Gas composition was constant from approximately 14 days but population shift still occurred. Populations affiliated with Fervidobactrium gondwanens and Thermoanaerobacterium thermosaccharolyticum were dominant on 21 and 41 days, respectively. Keeping pH of the medium at 5.0 could suppress methanogenic activity that was detected during initial operation period. $CH_4$ and mcrA detected in the samples obtained from the reactor or inoculum suggested the heat treatment condition employed in this study is not enough to remove methanogens in the inoculum. PCR using primer sets specific to 4 main orders of methanogens suggested that major $H_2$-consuming methanogens in the CSTR belong to the order Methanobacteriales.

This research investigated the effect of COD/N ratio on nitrogen removal, and the use of organics in raw wastewater as a carbon source for denitrification in SBR(Sequencing Batch Reactor) systems. Four laboratory scale reactors were operated in three modes. Only the difference between modes were; Mode I operated in aerated condition during fill while Mode II in anoxic condition and Mode III operated on two fills per cycle in anoxic condition. When COD/N ratio increased, total nitrogen removal efficiencies increased from 8.7 to 57.7 percent in Mode I, from 28.9 to 83.2 percent in Mode II and from 42.7 to 97.8 percent in Mode III, respectively. COD removal efficiencies ranged from 93 to 98 percent throughout the study. SBR operation in Mode III of feeding twice per cycle in anoxic condition was an effective operating method for nitrogen removal and nitrogen concentration in effluent can be estimated using influent COD and nitrogen concentrations.

This study was conducted to evaluate the performance of methane fermentation from effluent of hydrogen fermentation reactor in anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR) and anaerobic sequencing batch reactor (ASBR). Two reactors were operated at organic loading rate of $1.0kg\;COD/m^3{\cdot}d$ and hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 20 day. Methane production rates of ABR and ASBR for start-up periods were 0.04 L/L/d and 0.19 L/L/d, respectively, whereas maximum methane production rates of ABR and ASBR were 0.25 L/L/d and 0.31 L/L/d, respectively. Removal rates of chemical oxygen demand (COD) in ABR and ASBR for start-up periods were 89% and 92%, respectively. After startup periods, removal rates of COD and volatile solids (VS) in ABR and ASBR were maintained over 90%. The specific methanogenic activity (SMA) increased as microorganism acclimated to the substrate.

This study was conducted to evaluate the feasibility and characteristics of poly acrylamide (PAA) immobilized sludge as a microbial entrapment bead for wastewater treatment. In the PAA method of immobilized sludge, it was found that the optimum acrylamide concentration for actual wastewater treatment was to be 12%. When the sequencing batch reactor (SBR) was operated during 30 days, removal efficiencies of TOC and phosphate was 95% and 70ft, respectively. From this research, repeated cycle of anaerobic and aerobic conditions is required to enhance the removal of TOC and phosphate. During the operation, immobilized cells could be used without being disrupted.
