The purpose of this study is to simulate the riverbed profile changes downstream of Daecheong re-regulation dam from 1988 to 2001, to evaluate the model's applicability and to predict a long-term riverbed-level variation between 2002 and 2017. As a result of simulation 14 sediment transport equations provided by GSTAR-1D, it was found that Acker's & White formula was the most stable relatively. The interval used to calculate its stability was 7 days for bankful discharge$(1,000m^2/s)$, 3 days for daily maximum flow$(4,273m^2/s)$, 1 day for hourly maximum flow$(7,605m^2/s)$ and minimum flow$(8.5m^2/s)$. The simulation results of river bed changes were evaluated and compared to its measure data from 1988 to 2001. It was showed that there was the degradation for a section between Daecheong re-regulation dam and Maepo water stage gage station due to bed-material, and the degradation for a reach between Maepo and Gongju water stage gage station due to massive aggregate collection. Also, as a result of simulating the river profile change for 2002 to 2017, it was predicted that the section between Daecheong re-regulation dam and Geumnam Bridge would remain as the present profile and the reach between Maepo and Gongju water stage gage station would have some degradations in several parts, which would be stable as a whole unless it was due to artificial river profile change.

This study investigated the production of catalase from Bul-kyo soil bacteria through fermentation process. Isolation and selection of bacteria was performed through chemical and physiological analysis. Catalases were produced from bacteria which belong to 3 different species (Bacillaceae bacterium BKBChE-1, Bacillus sp. BKBChE-2, Bacillus flexus BKBChE-3) confirmed by using 16S rDNA sequence method. The catalases were found to be stable in the temperature range of $30^{\circ}C-60^{\circ}C$ for BKBChE-1, BKBChE-2 and BKBChE-3 and also in the pH range of 9.0-12.0 for BKBChE-1 and BKBChE-3. Long-term stability of the catalases was about 20 days at $4^{\circ}C$. However, BKBChE-2 has kept its activity over 30 days at $4^{\circ}C$.

Patient's respiration can have an effect on movement of tumor range and peripheral organs. Therefore, the respiratory signal was acquired by relation between external markers and movement of patient's abdomen during radiational therapy in order to minimize the effect of respiration. Based on this technique, many studies of rational therapy to irradiate at particular part of stable respiratory signals have executed and they have been clinically applied. Nevertheless, the phase-based method is preferred to the amplitude-based method for the rational therapy related to respiration. Because stabilization of the respiratory signal are limited. In this study, a in-house respiratory signal analysis program was developed for the phase reassignment and the analysis of the irregular respiratory signals. Various irregular respiratory patterns was obtained from clinical experimental volunteers. After then, the in-house program analyzed the factors affecting to phase assignment which is directly related to irradiated sector. Subsequently, accuracy of phase assignment was improved with removement of irregular signals by self-developed algorithm. This study is considered to be useful for not only image reconstruction and elevation of irradiating accuracy through phase assignment of RPM system but also analysis of respiratory signals. Moreover, development of 4D CT image is planed with phantom researches or clinical experiments based on this program.

${\gamma}-Oryzanol-loaded$ calcium-pectin micro- and nanocapsules were prepared by ionic gelation to improve oxidation stability and the effect of particle size on capsule properties was investigated. The physical properties were influenced by preparation conditions such as concentrations of pectin, $CaCl_2$, ${\gamma}-oryzanol$, and hardening time. Particle sizes of micro- and nanocapsules that showed the maximum encapsulation efficiency and sustained release were $2.27{\pm}0.02mm$ and $347.7{\pm}58.1nm$, respectively. Microcapsules showed higher encapsulation efficiency ($50.73{\pm}1.98%$) than nanocapsules ($17.70{\pm}2.04%$), while nanocapsules showed more sustained release and higher stability than microcapsules. Release of ${\gamma}-oryzanol$ from both microand nanocapsules, which was low in gastric environments and promoted in intestinal environments, showed suitable characteristics for oral administration. Furthermore, antioxidant activity of ${\gamma}-oryzanol$ against autoxidation of linoleic acid was prolonged by both micro- and nanoencapsulation in a ferric thiocyanate test. Therefore, micro- and nanoencapsulation using pectin can be effective for improving biodelivery, stability, and antioxidant activity of ${\gamma}-oryzanol$.

It has been generally recognized that the conventional rockfall protection nets have several problems to actual field application in the aspect of shock absorption, lack of pullout bearing capacities, and net damages. Because of the recognition, authors have tried to develop a new rockfall protection system consisted of shock absorption parts and hexagonal net configuration. In the previous research by the authors, the performance of the newly developed rockfall protection system has been investigated through the laboratory tests and the full-scale testing. In this study, subsequently, numerical analysis program is organized to make a confirmation of the structural stability and performance. For the correct design procedure of the hexagonal net system, it is essential to understand the various mechanical behavior of the entire system. It is also important to be reproduced the systematic characteristics of the system acquired by laboratory and full-scale testing by numerical analysis in order to carry out the numerical experiment to understand various mechanical behavior of the system. As a conclusion, the hexagonal net has better performance in mechanical and physical behavior compared with that of the rectangular net. Furthermore, due to the hexagonal net shows a good performance in aspect of the load distribution, it gives a good alternative in long-term management of the rockfall protection net.

It is difficult to solve problems regarding the adjustment on demand and supply of LNG due to seasonal variations of domestic demand of LNG, a discordance among import pattern and limits of storage facilities and so on. Also, there may be instability in LNG supply due to chances of accidents at LNG producing areas. Therefore, it is very important to secure large LNG storage facilities and to stabilize LNG supply management on a long term basis. The objective of this study is to examine the real-scale applicability of a lined underground rock storage system, which have been verified by a successful operation of the Daejeon LNG pilot plant. The new technology has many advantages of better economy, safety and environment protection, for above-ground and in-ground storage systems. The results of this study may promote the first ever real scale underground LNG storage system in a rock cavern.

Stabilization of metals in contaminated soils using various waste materials has been reported. Alkaline materials (limes, shells, industrial byproducts, etc.), phosphorous (P) containing materials (animal bones, phosphate rock, etc.), organic materials (composts, manures, biochars, etc.) and others (zerovalent iron, zeolite, etc.) were widely evaluated to ensure its effectiveness/applicability of stabilization of metals in soils. Stabilization mechanisms of those materials above were partially revealed, but the related literatures are still lacked and not sufficient for approaching to long-term stability/applicability in the field. The aims of this review are to summarize current knowledge of metal stabilization in contaminated soils using various waste materials and to suggest a direction for future field research.

Retrograde peri-implantitis (RPI) is defined as a clinically symptomatic periapical lesion. RPI is generally accompanied by symptoms of pain, tenderness, swelling and fistula. Several etiologic factors of RPI were possible, residual bacteria would be the main cause of RPI. Various treatment modalities have been introduced: debridement only or a combination of debridement with the grafting material accompanied by a detoxification of the infected implant surfaces, apicoectomy and so on. Although the definitive management methods remain undefined, many favorable clinical results of a treatment of RPI have been published. This case report introduces the 7-year long-term clinical result of the application the principle: implant surface detoxification using saline and chlorhexidine and guided bone regeneration with bone graft material and barrier membrane. If the implant was not mobile, it would be possible to treat RPI according to surgical approach and good results will be maintained over long term.

An accurate implant placement with ideal location is significant for long-term success of the implant. An exact evaluation of nearby anatomic structures such as quality of residual bone, an inferior alveolar bone and a maxillary sinus is required. For a prosthetic-driven treatment, planned surgery, precise prosthesis and communication with the patient are significant requisites especially for full-mouth rehabilitation. In this case, the patient with severe alveolar bone resorption had a CT guided surgery supported by CT data and the data from scanning diagnostic wax-up. Afterward, edentulous area was restored by full mouth implant-supported prosthesis by using monolithic zirconia and CAD/CAM technique. This paper reports the outcome of the procedure which was remarkable both esthetically and functionally.

In general, many instrumentations of slope rely on theory or experience because on-site accessibility and long term instrumentation are difficult to conduct the instrumentation of slopes. Also the prediction of disaster is very difficult. Therefore experimental research was conducted about an effective method to predict collapse of slope and on-site applicability in this study. The collapse of slope was able to be predicted by applying AE sensor which we call WEAD to the failure criteria. The parameters of AE generated during the collapse of slope were secured through bending shear test. Test construction was applied to the slope with a history and a possibility of collapse. As a result, it is shown that AE parameters do not exceed the failure criterion and is found to be stable slopes. As the real symptoms of collapse did not appear, AE was found to have excellent applicability.
