The coagulation efficacy of Al-based coagulants (such as Alum, PACS, and PACC) was investigated to ascertain removal efficiencies of turbidity and phosphate with variation of solution pH, coagulant dosages, and pre-dilution ratios. The efficacy of Al-based coagulants was maximized in the pH range of 6~9. Under the initial condition of pH 8, $10mg/L\;{PO_4}^{3-}$, and 20 NTU, Al-based coagulants exhibited a similar efficacy in the removal of turbidity, whereas the removal efficiency of phosphate was clearly dependent on the basicity of coagulants: Alum (0%) > PACS (45~50%) > PACC (70%). At high initial turbidity of 100 NTU, polymeric coagulants, such as PACS and PACC, exhibited a higher removal efficiency of turbidity compared to Alum. In comparison to direct injection of coagulants at low initial turbidity (20 NTU), 500~2000 times pre-diluted Alum, exhibited reduced coagulation efficacy; however, removal efficiencies of turbidity and phosphate increased with the increase of retention time. Pres-diluted PACC exhibited the enhanced coagulation efficacy followed by silght decrease of the removal efficiencies with increase of the retention time. At high initial turbidity of 100 NTU, pre-diluted Alum and PACC exhibited higher removal efficiencies of turbidity and phosphate.

In order to find a solution to protect pigs from bacterial diarrhea and the nasty smell in stalls which are the most trouble, we composed a bio-formula with Stretococcus thermophilus, Bacillus amyloliquifaciens and Bacillu subtilis. The antagonistic microbe Bacillus amyloliquifaciens can control the growth of Salmonella typhimurium KCTC 1926, Escherichia coli O-157, Listeria and Staphylococcus. S. thermophilus from pig's stomach can live in gastric juice so it also control germs. They worked in its living cell state and its culture fluid. As a result of feeding with piglings, it showed effects of preventing diarrhea and increasing the weight.

This study was conducted to seek optimum concentration and treatment time of fermented rice water (Rizen) to disinfect food-borne bacteria in kitchen towel. $2.65\;log_{10}cfu/g$ of E. coli was reduced when double or triple diluted fermented rice water was treated during 2 hours. In case of concentrated fermented rice water, crude and double diluted solutions showed complete sterilization after 2 and 5 hours, respectively. On the other hand, triple, quadruple, quintuple diluted solutions needed 24 hours for complete sterilization. The effect of fermented rice water as a disinfectant was compared with water, detergent and chlorine treatment against E. coli and S. Typhimurium contaminated in kitchen towel. The initial number of E. coli in untreated kitchen towel were $5.0\;log_{10}cfu/g$ and were decreased to 4.32, 3.70 and 3.02 by treatments of water, detergent and chlorine, respectively. The double and triple diluted fermented rice water and double diluted concentrated fermented rice water also reduced the E. coli in kitchen towel to 2.43, 2.30 and $1.88\;log_{10}cfu/g$, respectively. The initial number of S. Typhimurium in untreated kitchen towel were $4.80\;log_{10}cfu/g$ and were decreased to 4.12, 3.58 and 2.81 by treatments of water, detergent and chlorine, respectively. The double and triple diluted fermented rice water and double diluted concentrated fermented rice water also reduced the E. coli in kitchen towel to 2.14, 2.03 and $1.59\;log_{10}cfu/g$, respectively. Consequently, the fermented rice water is thought to be a good disinfectant to reduce food-borne bacteria like E. coli and Salmonella contaminated in kitchen towel.

This study examines the dilution-dispersion phenomen in the main stream when a polluted branch stream flows into it. A hydraulic model was used for it. As the discharge of the main stream and the branch one were changing, the qualitative dispersion, the stream regimen, the velocity of the flow and the hydraulic properties were observed. It was found that the faster the velocity was and the greater the flow discharge ratio was, the more dilution-dispersion phenomenon occurred. And as the velocity of the flow was increasing, so was the longitudinal dispersion velocity. But the transverse dispersion velocity was relatively reduced. Therefore, it is concluded that the dispersion by the distribution of velocity is increased.

It is possible to cultivate Pleurotus ostreatus on the crush medium of Reynoutria sachalinensis. The crush of leaves and stems of Reynoutria sachalinensis with water (1:8 W/V) enhanced mycelial growth of P. ostreatus. That mycelial growth of P. ostreatus on the crush medium was accelerated three times as fast as that on malt extract agar (MEA), and mycelial compactness was denser than that of on MEA. The same result was obtained on mixture of saw dust and the crush of leaves and stems in test tube and bottle. The addition of rice bran and the crush to saw dust was best for mycelial growth. Regardless of pH (4.5, 6.5 and 8.5), P. ostreatus could suppress the growth.

The possibility of using Chinese cabbage juice as a substrate for the production of Candida utilis cell mass was explored. Dry cell weight production and cell yield coefficient were 1.35-1.45 g/100 ml undiluted juice and 47-50%, respectively, when C. utilis was grown by shake flask culture at $30^{\circ}C$ for 24 hr on more than three-fold diluted Chinese cabbage juice to make the final sugar content be equal to or less than 1.0%. Supplementation of glucose(2%), $KH_2PO_4(0.2%)$ and $(NH_4)_2SO_4(0.2%)$ to three-fold diluted Chinese cabbage juice did not enhance the dry cell weight yield or the protein content of the yeast cell, while supplementation of yeast extract(0.2%) and peptone(0.2%) increased dry cell weight production and protein content but not as much as the amount of each nutrient added. It was found that Chinese cabbage juice was an excellent substrate for the cultivation of C. utilis.

Experiments were performed to obtain cryopreservation techniques of black seabream (Acanthopagrus schlegeli) sperm. For sperm collection, brood stock reared in recirculating seawater system and fed with the commercial feed during experimental period. The results indicated that following cryopreservation method in block seabream sperm could be employed. Post-thaw survival rate of sperm revealed the highest value ($80{\pm}1.4$%) in 3% sodium citrate as a diluent for the cryopreservation. Cryopreserved sperm diluted with 5.4% glucose showed the highest fertilization rate to the ovulated eggs. Glycerol was a better cryoprotectant than dimethyl sulfoxide in sperm cryopreservation : survival rate and fertilizing capacity of cryopreserved sperm were decreased according to increase of glycerol concentration and varied in renges of 0.8~59.3% and 32.5~69.4% with 5~30% glycerol, respectively. A few of cryopreserved spermatozoa showed the enlarged head with granulated chromatin and ruptured plasma membrane by freezing and thawing injuries compared with unfrozen normal spermatozoa.

The tensile properties of short nylon6 fiber reinforced NR and SBR have been investigated as functions of fiber aspect ratio(AR), diameter ratio(DR), interphase condition, and fiber content. The tensile strength increased with increasing fiber AR(20 min.) and good interphase conditions. The short-fiber(DR=3 and AR=20 min.) reinforced SBR did not show the dilution effect for all interrhase conditions. And the short-fiber(DR=3 and AR=20min.) reinforced NR did not show the dilution effect except for the no-coating. The tensile moduli were significantly improved due to fiber AR. fiber content, and good interphase at same DR. The better interphase condition showed the higher pull-out force at same DR. Also, the stress analysis near the fiber end carried out using axisymmetric FEA to be convinced of the reinforcing mechanism. It is found that the fiber AR, interphase and DR have an important effect on tensile properties.

In this study, we analyzed the soil salinity of Saemangeum agricultural land using GIS spatial interpolation method. Dominant soils series of experimental sites were Munpo (coarseloamy, mixed, non-acid, mesic, typically fluvaquents), which was based on the fluvio-marine deposit. Soil samples were periodically collected at 0~20cm and 20~40cm layer from each site. First, the distribution characteristics of EC, ESP, and SAR according to spatial interpolation were analyzed using 142 sample points. Through the error analysis of 143 validation points, the IDW method for EC and SAR, and the Kriging interpolation method for ESP were selected as the optimal interpolation method. Using the optimal interpolation method, the characteristics of EC, ESP, and SAR were analyzed for the change of soil salinity from 2014 to 2016. As a result, EC, ESP and SAR were decreased by 0.26mg/L, 5.97mg/L and 0.73mg/L respectively due to the dilution effect caused by rainfall.

Some insecticides were evaluated on the effect of single ULV foliar spray in the control of the pine gall midges (Thecediplosis japonensis Uchida et Inouye) when the formulated (undiluted) and/or diluted insecticides were applied by ULV Sprayer (Battery-type of 12 voltage, devised by Union Carbide) With the formulated insecticide spray (30ml per plot; ten pine trees of 1.5 to 2m in height), the order of control effectiveness was Salithion (Ec 25), $Sumithion^{(R)}$ (ULV 80), Dimethoate (Ec 50), $Sevin\;oil^{(R)}$ (ULV 50), $Zolone^{(R)}$ (Ec 25) and $Folimat^{(R)}$ (Ec 50). However, except Zolone, other insecticides tested caused relatively severe phytotoxicity on the pine needles in all treatments. The dilluted insecticides (200ml Per Plot) of Salithion and Dimethoate with 10,20 and 40 times of water solution showed better control effect than with the formulated insecticides, and no phytotoxicity was observed. Salithion was more effective than Dimethoate. In conclusion, the desirable results in the pine gall midge control in this experiment were obtained by single ULV foliar spray of Salithion with 10 to 20 times of water solution, and the feasible timing of insecticide application would be from late in May to early in June.
