In this study, mixing and dilution characteristics of vertical multijet discharged by multiport diffuser into stagnant water are investigated. The results obtained from the experiment of multiport diffuser performed in the three dimensional flume are as follows. As far as merging process of multiport diffuser is concerned, merging starts at about z/l = 3 although merging length is dependent upon stability condition and thereafter lateral temperature distribution becomes gradually uniform which is typical distribution of plane jet. Analyses of experimental data for minimum dilution show that characteristics of minimum dilution are described based on three regions which are jet region where momentum is dominated, intermediate region, and plume region where buoyancy is dominated. Minimum dilution coefficient in plume region of multiport diffuser obtained in this study is 15% higher than that of plane diffuser. This is because individual jet of multiport diffuser entrains more ambient water before merging is occurred, and therefore dilution increases.

Field and laboratory studies of the near field behavior of the San Francisco ocean outfall were reported. The data sets cover broad ranges of discharge conditions and oceanic conditions, and are associated with a typical type of outfall discharges with multiport diffusers. The laboratory data sets were obtained in density-stratified towing tanks to replicate the field tests. Model studies of wastefield behavior using these data sets were predicted by the mathematical models UM, UDKHDEN, RSB, and CORMIX2 for minimum dilution, the height to top of wastefield, and wastefield thickness. In this paper, the results are discussed and compared measurements with mathematical model predictions. The hydraulic model studies reproduced the major features observed in the field. It also afforded considerable insight into the mechanics of mixing of multiport risers which could have been obtained neither from the field test nor the mathematical models.

Mixing zone characteristics of the wastewater effluents discharged from Sokcho ocean outfall have been investigated using an outfall mixing zone model which was developed on the basis of Huang et al.'s(1996) analysis method. The model was applied to Sokcho ocean outfall case and was used to simulate the concentration distribution of wastewater effluents using winter season's data, ie. daily effluent flowrate, ocean current and density stratification data which were measure for two months in the outfall area. Hourly concentration distribution of outfall effluent discharges was calculated and they were averaged for the period of 15 days which covers the ambient flow variability of the neap and the spring tidal currents. The results show that near-field dilution was relatively high with the minimum dilution of 130 for the winter season. The mixing zone was extended to the coastal beach area rather than offshore because of major direction of coastal currents. This may cause a deteriorating impact on coastal water quality, especially to the adjacent swimming beach area.

To reduce volumetric shrinkage of the commercially available polymeric dental composite during curing reaction, (2,2-bis [4-(2-hydroxy-3-methacryloyloxy propoxy) phenyl] propane) (bis -GMA) derivatives, i.e., (2,2-bis[3-methyl, 4-(2-hydroxy-3-methacryloyloxy propoxy) phenyl] propan) (DMBis-GMA) and (2,2-his [3,5-dimethyl ,4- (2-hydroxy-3-methacryloyloxy propoxy) phenyl] propane) (TMBis-GMA) were synthesized and then new dental composite resin composed of Bis-GMA derivatives, diluent, spiro orthocarbonate (SOC), and inorganic filler was produced. Among the Bis-GMA derivative/Bis-GMA derivative/diluent mixtures, Bis-GMA/ TMBis-GMA/TEGDMA mixture exhibited the lowest volumetric shrinkage. Volumetric shrinkage of this mixture was further reduced by adding SOC. Volumtric shrinkage of dental composite prepared from commercially available resin monomer mixture was $2.5\%$, while that prepared from resin monomer mixture having minimum volumetric shrinkage was reduced to $0.7\%$. Mechanical strength of this dental composite was nearly the same with that of commercial products but the time required for the curing reaction was retarded.

성게의 정자를 이용한 생물검정은 해양환경의 독성평가에 널리 사용되고 있다. 그러나, 국내산 성게류의 경우 산란기가 3~11월로 겨울에는 생물검정 실칩이 불가능한 단점이 있다. 이를 보완하기 위하여 겨울에 산란이 가능한 아무르불가사리(Arterias amurensis)를 생물검정용으로 개발하였다. 불가사리류의 생식과 발생과정은 성게류와 유사하므로 성게류를 이용한 실험 방법을 아무르불가사리에 적용할 수 있다. 그러나, 생물검정 실험 결과의 유효성은 실험조건에 의하여 달라질 수 있으므로, 본 연구에서는 실험 결과에 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있는 조건들 즉. 수정막의 발달 시간, 정자와 알의 비율, 정자의 활력이 유지되는 시간, 정자의 노출 시간, 그리고 시료의 염분 범위 등을 최적화 하고자 하였다. 수정막의 발달이 완전하게 이루어지는 최소 시간은 60분이었고, 시료에 주입할 정자와 알의 비율은 3,000이상일 때 수정률이 높게 유지되었다(70%이상). 정자의 활력은 해수에 희석한 후 3시간 이상이 경과하면 급격히 감소하였다. 정자의 노출시간은 20~60분의 범위에서 구리에 대한 $EC_{50}$이 크게 달라지지 않았다(변동계수: 17%).실험에 적절한 시료의 염분 범위는 26~38 psu이었다. 아무르불가사리 정자의 민감도는, 일반적으로 해양환경 평가에 흔히 사용되는 생물들의 민감도 범위의 중간 정도에 해당하였다. 따라서 아무르불가사리의 정자는 해양환경 평가를 위한 생물검정용으로 적합한 것으로 여겨진다.

The synthetic procedures to synthesize polymethacryloylsulfadiazine were searched by DCC method and Acid Chloride mothod. Polymeric drug was synthesized by Acid Chloride method in high yield (72%) but DCC method in low yield (23%). The antimicrobial activities of polymeric drug were investigated in terms of minimum inhibitory concentrations by the common two-fold dilution technique. Polymeric drug revealed an excellent antimicrobial Bacillus subtillis ATCC 6633, Mycrobacterium phlei IFO 3158, Micrococus luteus ATCC 9341, Salmonella typhimurium KCTC 1925, Klebsiella pneumoniae KCTC 1560 and similar activity against Staphylococcus aureus IFO 12732, Escherichia coli BE 1186, Escherichia coli AB 0111, Pseudomonas aeruginosa IFO 13130. Polymeric drug have no antimicrobial activity against Candida albicans IFO 1594.

In this study, we characterized extended-spectrum $\beta$-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae isolated from clinical specimens in Korea and found two strains harboring plasmid-mediated $bla_{SHV-11}$, Klebsiella pneumoniae. First, the isolates were detected using the Vitek system and confirmed by the double-disk synergy test. The classification of gene coding for ESBL was also performed by polymerase chain reactions and followed by DNA sequencing. The transmission of genes was confirmed by transconjugation and transformation. Resistant expression of transformants was determined by broth microdilution minimal inhibitory concentration test. Genotypic analysis revealed that one strain harbored the $bla_{TEM-1}$, $bla_{SHV-11}$ and $bla_{CTX-M-15}$ and the other strain harbored the $bla_{SHV-11}$ and $bla_{CTX-M-15}$. They showed high resistance to oxyiminocephalosphorins (3rd-generation cephalosporins), while the transformant containing only $bla_{SHV-11}$ did not show any resistance to the antibiotics.

Background: The use of video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) to perform major pulmonary resection with systematic node dissection (SND) for lung cancer by is commonly used in clinics. However, the feasibility of SND by VATS remains controversial. Video-assisted mediastinal lymphadenectomy (VAMLA) increases the quality of mediastinal lymph node staging in lung cancer. The video-mediastinoscope allows systematic lymphadenectomy by bimanual preparation. This study was conducted to assess safety and usefulness and clinical feasibility of VAMLA expanding Linder-Dahan mediastinoscope with VATS lobectomy for left sided lung cancer. Material and Method: Between February 2004 to April 2008, a total 50 patients who underwent VATS lobectomy for left sided lung cancer were analyzed retrospectively. Thirty patients (group A) underwent VAMLA followed by VATS lymphadenectomy and 20 patients (group B) underwent VATS lymphadenectomy for SND. Result: There were no statistical differences in operation times, chest tube indwelling times, or hospital days between the 2 groups. The number of dissected total nodes (p=0.001) and N2 nodes (p=0.013) were higher in group A than in group B, but there was no difference in N1 nodes. Postoperative complications included 2 prolonged air leakages (${\geq}$10 days) in each group, one pneumonia in group A, and one vocal cord palsy in group B. There were no early operative mortalities. Conclusion: Mediastinal staging of resectable lung cancer is performed by VAMLA. This new technique is the basis for VATS lobectomy particularly for left-sided lung cancer, because a higher percentage of mediastinal lymph nodes undergo complete resection using VAMLA.
