산업 고도화로 인하여 복잡하고 다양한 유기물의 사용량이 증가하였으며, 공공수역 내 새로운 오염물질이 유입됨에 따라 생화학적 산소요구량(BOD) 중심의 수질평가에 한계를 나타내었다. 이후 난분해성 물질을 고려한 유기물관리 정책과 총량관리의 필요성이 제기되었고 국내 하천과 호소에서는 총 유기탄소(TOC)를 유기물 관리지표로 설정하였다. 그러나 부영양 하천과 호소에서 TOC는 외부 부하뿐만아니라 식물플랑크톤의 과잉성장에 의해 증가할 수 있는 항목이므로 TOC 관리정책 추진을 위해서는 유기물의 기원에 대한 파악이 필요하다. 특히, 국내 하천에서 나타나고 있는 난분해성 유기물 오염도의 증가 추세에 대응한 실효성 있는 유기물 오염관리 정책을 수립하기 위해서는 다양한 유기물의 근원을 정확하게 파악하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 본 연구의 목적은 금강 수계 최대 상수원인 대청호를 대상으로 3차원 수리-수질 모델을 적용하여 유기탄소 성분 별 유입과 유출, 내부생성 및 소멸량을 평가하고 저수지시스템에서의 유기탄소 물질수지를 해석하는 데 있다. 유기탄소 물질수지 해석을 위해 AEM3D 모델을 사용하였으며 2017년을 대상으로 입력자료를 구축한 후 보정을 수행하였고 2018년을 대상으로 모델을 검정하였다. 모델은 유기탄소를 입자성, 용존성, 그리고 난분해성과 생분해성으로 구분하여 모의하며 유기물질 성상별 실험결과를 이용하여 입력자료를 구축하였다. 유기탄소 물질수지 해석을 위해 4가지의 탄소성분과 조류 세포 내 탄소의 질량 변화율을 계산하였다. 이를 위해 외부 유입·유출부하율, 수체 내 생성(일차생산, 재부상, 퇴적물과 수체 간 확산) 및 소멸률(POC 및 조류 침강, DOC 무기화, 탈질)을 고려하였다. 모델은 2017년과 2018년의 물수지를 적절히 재현하였으며 저수지의 성층구조를 잘 재현해내면서 전반적인 수온, 수질을 적절하게 모의하였다. 연간 TOC 부하량 중 내부기원 부하량은 2017년 68.4 %, 2018년은 높은 강우량의 영향으로 55.0%로 산정되었다. 내부 소멸 기작 중 침전으로 인한 손실이 가장 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 2017년과 2018년 각각 31.3%, 29.0%로 나타났다. TOC의 공간분포는 Chl-a 농도 분포와 유사하게 나타났으며, 댐 설치로 형성된 정체수역은 유역의 유기물 순환에 많은 영향을 미치는 것으로 평가되었다. TOC 관리 정책 기초자료 확보를 위해서는 향후 유역-저수지 시스템을 연계한 유기물 물질순환 심층 연구가 필요하다.

The effect of high ambient temperature and pressure conditions on the combustion performance of n-butanol, n-heptane and its mixing fuel (BH 20) were studied in this work. To reveal this, the closed homogeneous reactor model applied and 1000-1200 K of the initial temperature, 20-30 atm of initial pressure and 1.0 of equivalence ratio were set to numerical analysis. It was found that the results of combustion temperature was increased and the ignition delay was decreased when the ambient conditions were elevated since the combustion reactivity increased at the high ambient conditions. On the contrary, under the low combustion temperature condition, the combustion pressure was more influenced by the ambient temperature in the same ambient conditions. In addition, the total mass and the mass density of tested fuels were influenced by the ambient pressure and temperature. Also, soot generation of mixing fuel was decreased than n-heptane fuel due to the oxygen content of n-butanol fuel.

Zoogloea ramigera 115 was cultured for biopolymer production and its bioflocculant usages. Cultural conditions of the organism were examined with regard to high production of the microbial polysaccharide. The most suitable medium was found to contain glucose as a carbon source, $NaNO_3$ as a nitrogen source, and yeast extract as an organic nutrient. The initial pH of 6.0 proved to optimal. The biopolymer was extracted effectively using ultrasonication and high speed centrifugation, followed by propanol addition. Jar test results indicate that the polysaccharide produced by the organism is an effective flocculant.

This study was conducted to find an optimal TNT transformation condition with the addition of different carbon and energy sources in a batch reactor. When TNT and nitrate were present in the medium, the cell growth and TNT transformation was slower because nitrate and TNT was competitively served as electron acceptor. Transformation of TNT was faster when TNT in the medium was nitrogen source and acetate as a carbon source. Cell growth and nitrate transformation was slower when yeast extract was not present in the medium. The proposed intermediates of TNT biotransformation from the earlier studies was not detected in this experiment but the intermediates are tentatively proposed as nitro and amino-free compounds. These results should be helpful for the operation of the munition waste treatment in the future.

This research aims the production of anti-tumor substances through in vitro culture of hairy roots transformed by Agrobacterium rhizogenes in Artemisia sylvatica MAX and the effect of culture conditions on optimum growth of hairy roots. We investigated the optimum medium, pH, carbon source, sucrose, light, Fe and polyamine conditions of various lines of hairy roots (NK3, NK4, YX. NK3-10) induced from Artemisia sylvatica to increase the optimum growth of hairy roots. MS medium was the best for optimum growth of hairy root clone, NK3-S10. The optimum culture period was 4 weeks for NK3-S10. The optimum sucrose concentration was 3.5%. The optimum concentration of FeSO$_4$, spermine and spermidine was 0.1 mM, 10 mM and 100 mM, respectively.

In an effort to identify structure and function of microbial loop in Paldang reservoir, we monitored environmental and biological factors at Kyungan stream (station K), Paldang dam (station P) and the confluence of North and South Han River (station M) from March to December, 2005. DOC concentration was higher in March to May and November than the others. Nutrient concentration in station K detected relatively higher than that of two stations. Both of phosphate and silicate gradually increased at all stations until September, after then decreased. The highest Chl-$\alpha$ concentration was observed at all stations in April, and November. The carbon biomass of bacteria and HNF were relatively higher in March, May and August than the others, whereas that of the ciliate showed no significant difference in monthly fluctuation. Nevertheless, the significant relationships revealed between ciliate (P<0.001) and HNF (P<0.05) and bacterial density. Tintinnopsis cratera, Didinium sp., Vorticella sp., Paramecium sp. and Strombidium sp. were dominant species in ciliate community. The dominant species of phytoplankton were Stephanodiscus hantzschii and Cyclotella meneghiniana at almost stations in Spring, Summer and Autumn. However, Aulacoseira granulata accounted for >95% of phytoplankton biomass at station P and M in Autumn. The carbon biomass of zooplankton was highest at station P and M in June, and relatively higher biomass observed at all stations in August, October and November. Diaphanosoma brachyurum and Bosmina longirostris were dominant in stations P and M of June and in all stations of October and November, respectively. The maximum growth (A. granulata: $0.17\;d^{-1}$, S. hantzschii: $0.14\;d^{-1}$) and grazing rate (A. granulata: 1.93 preys $d^{-1}$, S. hantzschii: 1.63 preys $d^{-1}$) of Bosmina longirostris revealed in algal preys as Aulacoseira granulata and Stephanodiscus hantzschii. In conclusion, these results suggest that bacteria and phytoplankton can play the most crucial source as prey within microbial food chain in Spring and Summer and grazing food chain in Autumn, respectively.

This study organized data from 2000 to 2014 for 20 grid-connected countries in Europe and analyzed the determinants of carbon emissions through the panel GLS method considering the problem of heteroscedasticity and autocorrelation. At the same time, the effect of introducing ETS was considered by dividing the sample period as of 2005 when the European emission trading system was introduced. Carbon emissions from individual countries were used as dependent variables, and proportion of generation by each source, power self-sufficiency ratio of neighboring countries, power production from resource-holding countries, concentration of power sources, total energy consumption per capita in the industrial sector, tax of electricity, net electricity export per capita, and size of national territory per capita. According to the estimation results, the proportion of nuclear power and renewable energy generation, concentration of power sources, and size of the national territory area per capita had a negative (-) effect on carbon emissions both before and after 2005. On the other hand, the proportion of coal power generation, the power supply and demand rate of neighboring countries, the power production of resource-holding countries, and the total energy consumption per capita in the industrial sector were found to have a positive (+) effect on carbon emissions. In addition, the proportion of gas generation had a negative (-) effect on carbon emissions, and tax of electricity were found to have a positive (+) effect. However, all of these were only significant before 2005. It was found that net electricity export per capita had a negative (-) effect on carbon emissions only after 2005. The results of this study suggest macroscopic strategies to reduce carbon emissions to green growth, suggesting mid- to long-term power mix optimization measures considering the electricity trade market and their role.

One hundred forty four bacterial colonies which were able to degrade crude oil were isolated from soil samples that were contaminated with oil in Daejeon area. Among them, one bacterial strain was selected for this study based on its emulsification activity, growth rate and surface tension activity, and this selected bacterial strain was identified as Pseudomonas sp. HN37 through physiological- biochemical tests and analysis of its 16S rRNA sequence. Pseudomonas sp. HN37 utilize the several aliphatic hydrocarbons, 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid and 2,4-dichlorophooxyacetic acid as a sole carbon source. And this bacterial strain showed a high resistance to antibiotics such as ampicillin and chloramphenicol, as well as heavy metals such as Ba, Cr, Li and Mn. Also, it was found that the optimal pH and temperature for the cell growth, surface tension, and emulsification activity of Pseudomonas sp. HN37 were pH 6.0-9.0 and $30^{\circ}C$, respectively. The emulsification and surface tension activity was reached the maximum to 1% (V/V) crude oil and 1% (W/V) NaCl concentration. The surface tension of the culture broth was decreased from 62 to 27 dyne/cm after fifteen hours of inoculation in LB media.

This paper covers the study on the properties of $TiO_2$ film deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD) using TTIP and water at various temperatures including the low temperature range of <$150^{\circ}C$. At low deposition temperature, ALD $TiO_2$ films showed uniform growth rate per cycle ($0.3{\AA}/cycle$), good uniformity, smooth surface, and homogenous amorphicity. They also showed good conformality of >80% on the trench structure with the high aspect ratio of up to 75. However, relatively high concentration of impurities (C~4-7 at%) in the film was observed due to low deposition temperature.
