Eosin yellow is used a dye and colorant but it is harmful toxic substance. In this paper, batch adsorption studies were carried out for equilibrium, kinetics and thermodynamic parameters for eosin yellow adsorption by activated carbon with varying the operating variables like pH, initial concentration, contact time. Equilibrium adsorption data were fitted into Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherms. By estimated Langmuir constant value, $R_L$=0.067-0.083, and Freundlich constant value, $\frac{1}{n}=0.237-0.267$, this process could be employed as effective treatment for removal of eosin yellow. From calculated Temkin constant, value, B=1.868-2.855 J/mol, and Dubinin-Radushkevich constant, value, E=5.345-5.735 kJ/mol, this adsorption process is physical adsorption. From kinetic experiments, the adsorption process were found to confirm to the pseudo second order model with good correlation coefficient($r^2$=0.995-0.998). The mechanism of the adsorption process was determined two step like as boundary and intraparticle diffusion.

This study examines the effect of submergence on phosphorus adsorption characteristics in Gangseo(paddy soil), Yesan(non-cultivated soil), and Jungdong soil(upland soil). The soils were submerged with glucose sol'n at $28^{\circ}C$ for 17 days. After the submergence, the phosphorus adsorption was conducted at three temperatures(5, 25 and $45^{\circ}C$). The phosphorus adsorption maximum($X_m$) and the equilibrium constant(K) were obtained by Langmuir adsorption isotherm, and the heat of adsorption(${\Delta}H$) was calculated by van't Hoff's equiation. Results obtained are as follows ; 1. The amounts of adsorbed P were increased with temperature, but the effects of temperature on rate of P adsorption were very small in all three soils. 2. By submergence, $X_m$ were increased from 500mg P/kg to 850mg P/kg in Gangseo soil, from 1,850mg P/kg to 3,300mg P/kg in Yesan soil, and from 310mg P/kg to 670mg P/kg in Jungdong soil. But the effects of temperature on $X_m$ were very small in all three soils. 3. Submergence decreased K for Gangseo and Yesan soils, but increased for Jungdong soil. Whereas K were increased with temperature in all three soils. 4. By submergence, ${\Delta}H$ for Gangseo soil was greatly increased (from 2.2 Kcal/mole to 3.5 Kcal/mole), whereas that for Yesan soil changed little (from 5.7 Kcal/mole to 5.5 Kcal/mole). It was 4.4 Kcal/mole in submerged Jungdong soil.

This study was carried out to investage the effect of cryoprotectant concentration and equilibration time on volume change and in vitro development of intact and bisected mouse embryos by rapid freezing. When compacted morulae were rapidly frozen in 3.0 to 4.0 glycerol or DMSO with 0.25M sucrose solution, the superior(P<0.05) post-thaw survival rate was obtained at the glycerol concentration of 4.0M(89.4%) than 3.0M(71.4%) or 5.0M(42.4%), but at the DMSO concentration of 3.0M(84.5%) than 4.0M(51.1%) or 5.0M(0.0%). The optimal equilibraton time for rapid freezing of ZP-free or bisected morulae in 4.0M glycerol with 0.25M sucrose was found tobe 3 minutes. The minimal volume of compacted morulaewhich corresponded with 61 to 62% of pre-equilibrated embryo volume was obtained from equilibration for 3 minutes in both 3.0 and 4.0M glycerol solutions with 0.25M sucrose.

The phototaxis of common carp Cyprinus carpio was studied tinder laboratory conditions to find out distributional pattern of the fish under light gradient and to find the light intensity which causes the maximum gathering rate. The optimum light intensities were determined, The fish tended to escape from tile light source when the light intensity was stronger or weaker than a certain optimum value. The mean illumination intensity which caused the maximum gathering rate was 3.813lux (2.99-4.76 lux) in the daytime and 6.292 lux (5.0-7.89 lux) at night. The gathering rate of the fish could be divided into two types: reflex gathering rate and equilibrium gathering rate. The reflex gathering rate appeared quickly soon after lighting and gradually changed as time elapsed, while the equilibrium gathering rate was almost always constant.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of concentration, kinds of cryoprotectants, equilibration time, optimum thawing temperature on the survival rate of rapidly frozen porcine embryos. The porcine embryos following dehydration by cryoprotectants containing sucrose were directly plunged into liquid nitrogen and thawed in 30, 35 or 37$^{\circ}C$ water bath, Survival rate was defined as development rate on in vitro culture or FDA-test. The results are summarized as follows : 1. The high survival rate of porcine frozen embryos after rapidly thawed in freezing medium was attained 2.0M DMSO, 2.0M glycerol, 2.0M propanediol, 1.5M ethyleneglycol. 2. The high survival rate of porcine frozen embryos after rapidly thawed in freezing medium was obtained using single cryoprotectant(16.6~40.0%) than mixed cryoprotectants(12.5~33.3%). 3. The eqilibration time on the survival rate of rapidly thawed porcine frozen embryos was attained after short period of time(15.0~33.3%) in the freezing medium higher than long period of time(9.10~30.0%). 4. The thawing temperature on the survival rate of rapidly thawed porcine frozen embryos was attained at 3$0^{\circ}C$ of thawing temperature(33.3~40.6%) in the freezing medium higher than 25 or 37$^{\circ}C$ of thawing temperature.

Cohesive sedimentation mechanism is affected by various physico-chemical factors. Thus, the field observations and the laboratory experiments for cohesive sediment have been reported for decades. Erosion and deposition test was carried out with cohesive sediment material sampled in the Keum River Estuary in this study. The change of the suspended cohesive sediment concentration was measured for various flow conditions, which have the purpose to determine the critical shear stress and the coefficients for erosion and deposition . The critical shear stress and the coefficient for erosion were determined in the flume test. The equilibrium concentration was determined for each shear stress and the relationship between the normalized equilibrium cocentration with the initial cocentration (Ceq/co) and the equivalent shear stress was obtained. The experimental results were compared with the other results and showed fairly well agreements with them.

This study was undertaken in an effort to develop a cryopreservation system of immature and mature porcine oocytes. For this aim, the experiments were designed to examine the effect of cryoprotectants and equdibration time on the viability of frozen-thawed oocytes by using trypan blue(TB) and fluorescene diacetate(FDA) test. The viability of frozen immature oocytes evaluated by TB test was slightly higher than that of frozen mature oocytes. The viability(25.O%) after IVM of frozen-thawed immature oocytes greatly decreased that(42.9%) of oocytes just after thawing, but it was higher than frozen-thawed mature oocytes(15.8%). When immature oocytes were equilibrated for 10, 20 and 30 minutes before freezing the oocyte viability was 20.0, 31.3 and 42.9%, respectively. There was a tendency for long equilibration before oocyte freezing to be more effective for the immature oocytes and a short equilibration time for mature oocytes. Although there was no difference in viability index of frozen oocytes hetween the viability test methods, the index of TB test was slightly higher than that of FDA test. The viability(FDA test) of frozen-immature oocytes with 3 different crtoprotectants was 22.2% for propylene glycol(PG), 9.3% for polyehtylene glycol(PEG) and 65.6% for PG+PEG, in which PG+PEG was more protective against freezing effect.

Before the commercialization of polymeric membranes applicable for industrial application, the homework remains for the high-performance polymers to overcome the practical challenge: long-term stability for prolonged service time. Polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIMs), exhibiting exceptionally high fractional free volume and high permeability, are susceptible to physical aging where the extra volume created by the inefficient ladder-type packing will lead them from the volumetric equilibrium and reduce the free volume/permeability over time. Here, we will re-examine the physical aging of polymers of intrinsic microporosity, and discuss some of the most prominent attempts to mitigate physical aging in PIMs.

The aim of this study is to assess the importance of ballast water discharge as a vector for the introduction of exotic species into Pusan and Daesan Ports, Korea. We also examined to understand the impacts of environmental factors on the survival success of introduced species by ship's ballast water in laboratory experiments. Seven ship's ballast water originated from the coastal water of China (Taicang, Ningbo and Jinshan), Japan (Tokuyama, Moji and Akita), and Singapore. According to PCA (principal components analysis) analysis, environmental factor in the each ballast and shipside waters were different by bioregion. Based on cluster analysis, the phytoplankton community structures were distinguished for ballast water origin. Most of the major taxonomic groups were diatoms and, the others were dinoflagellate, silcoflagellate and several fresh-waters species. In particular, species number and standing crops of phytoplankton in the ballast tanks decreased with the increasing age ofballast water(r = -0.35 for standing crop; r = -0.63 for species number). In the laboratory study, although phytoplankton in ballast water treatment did not survive even in optimal temperature, the in vivo fluorescence of phytoplankton viability increased under the nutrient typical of shipside water and F/2 medium at $15^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$. The diatoms species such as Skeletonema costatum and Thalassiosira pseudonana in ballast water were successfully regrown. On the salinity gradient experiments for Shui Shan (2) vessel, several freshwater species, brackish and marine species were successfully adapted. Of these, S.costatum was able to tolerate a wide range of salinities (10 to 30 psu) and its species-specific viability was suitable for colonization.

The dependency of criteria used to terminate compatibility tests on the prehydration and quality of bentonite in geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) is evaluated based on permeation with chemical solutions containing 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 mM calcium chloride ($CaCl_2$). The hydraulic conductivity tests are not terminated before chemical equilibrium between the effluent and the influent chemistry has been established, resulting in test durations ranging from < 1 day to > 900 days, with longer test durations associated with lower $CaCl_2$ concentrations. The evaluation includes both physical termination criteria (i.e., volumetric flow ratio and steady hydraulic conductivity based on ASTM D 5084, ${\ge}2$ pore volumes of flow, constant thickness of specimen) and chemical termination criteria requiring equilibrium between influent and effluent chemistry (viz., electrical conductivity, pH, and $Ca^{2+}\;and\;Cl^-$ concentrations). For specimens permeated with 5, 10, and 20 mM $CaCl_2$ solutions, only the criterion based on chemical equilibrium in $Ca^{2+}$ concentration correlates well with equilibrium in hydraulic conductivity, regardless of prehydration or quality of bentonite. However, all of the termination criteria, except for the volumetric flow ratio and 2 pore volumes of flow for the prehydrated specimens, correlate well with equilibrium in hydraulic conductivity regardless of prehydration or quality of bentonite when permeated with 50 and 100 mM $CaCl_2$ solutions. The results illustrate the uniqueness of the termination criterion based on solute concentration equilibrium between the effluent and the influent with respect to both prehydration and quality of bentonite in the GCLs.
