Colloids such as exogenous biocolloids in a bioremediation operation can enhance the transport of contaminant in ground water by reducing retardation effects. Because of their colloidal size and favorable surface conditions in addition to their low density, bacteria can act as efficient contaminant carriers. When mobile bacteria are present in a subsurface environment, the system can be treated as consisting of three phases: water phase, bacterial phase, and the stationary solid matrix phase. In this work, a mathematical model based on mass balances is developed to describe the facilitated transport and fate of a contaminant in a porous medium. Bacterial partition between the bulk solution and the stationary solid matrix, and the contaminant partition among the three phases are represented by the equilibrium relationships. Solutions were obtained to provide estimates of contaminant and bacterial concentrations. A dimensionless analysis of the transport model was utilized to estimate model parameters from the experimental data. The model results matched with experimental data of Jenkins and Lion (1993). The presence of mobile bacteria enhances the contaminant transport. However, bacterial consumption of the contaminant which serves as a bacterial nutrient, can attenuate the contaminant concentration.

Polychloinated biphenyls (PCBs) 및 유기염소계 농약은 UNEP에서 지속성유기오염물질(POPs)로 규정하고 있는 화합물로서 환경내 잔류성이 강하고 먹이사슬을 딸라 생물증폭되는 화합물로 알려지고 있다. 광양만의 유기염소계화합물의 오염현황을 파악하고자, 표층퇴적물, 생물, 해수 중의 농도를 정량ㆍ정성분석하였다. 해수의 용존상을 제외한 모든 매질에서 PCBs와 DDT 화합물이 주요 유기염소계 화합물로 검출되었다. 퇴적물 중의 총 PCBs, DDTs, CHLs(클로르단 화합물), HCHs (헥사클로르사이클로헥산)의 농도는 각 각 0.61-1.97 ng/g, 0.16-1.16 ng/g, nd-0.51 ng/g, 0.05-0.79 ng/g의 농도 범위를 나타냈다. 퇴적물 중의 유기염소계화합물의 농도수준은 우리나라 주요 만 (부산만, 영일만, 울산만, 경기만)에서 조사된 퇴적물 중의 농도와 비교할 때 낮은 수준이며, 저서생물에 독성학적 위해를 일으킬 수 있는 수준에 미치지 못한다. 이매패류 중의 유기염소계화합물의 농도는 총 PCBs (4.42-19.ng/g), 총 BBTs (7.54-22.6ng/g), CHLs (0.49-2.0ng/g), HCHs (0.82-7.32ng/g)의 범위를 나타었다. PCBs의 경우 산업시설 및 도시 주변에서 상대적으로 높았으나 전반적으로 비슷한 수준을 나타냈다. 해수 중의 PCBs 농도는 제철소 인근에서 상대적으로 높았으며, 해수의 용존상에서는 입자상에서와 달리 DDTs보다 HCHs가 상대적으로 높은 농도로 검출되었다. 이는 두 상에 분배되는 이들 화합물의 성향에 따르는 것으로 파악된다.

Based on Maxwell-Eucken(ME) model, which is one of structural models, a new model for predicting the effective thermal conductivity of variably saturated porous materials is proposed. The new model is a linear combination of three ME models having matrix, water, and air as a continuous phase. The coefficient of the corresponding linear equation is defined by a parameter referred to as 'the continuity coefficient', which provides a relative degree of continuity of each phase. The continuity coefficient of matrix is assumed to be linearly proportional to porosity. The model can be linear or nonlinear depending on how the continuity coefficients of water and air vary with water saturation. The feasibility of the proposed model was examined by both numerical and experimental results. Both linear and nonlinear models showed a high accuracy of prediction with $R^2$ values of 0.86-0.98 and 0.88-0.99, respectively. The numerical and experimental results also showed that the continuity coefficient of matrix was linearly proportional to porosity. Therefore, the proposed prediction model can be effectively used to estimate effective thermal conductivity of unsaturated porous materials by measuring porosity, water content and mineralogical compositions of matrix.

Slug tests are the most widely used field method for quantification of hydraulic conductivity of porous media. Well recovery is affected by well casing, borehole radii, screened length, hydraulic conductivity, and specific storage of porous media. In this study, a new slug tests model was developed through finite element approximation and the validity and usefulness of the model were tested in various ways. Water level fluctuation in a well under slug test and cons-equent groundwater flow in the surrounding porous medium were appropriately coupled through estimation of well-flux using an iteration technique. Numerical accuracy of the model was verified using the Cooper et al. (1967) solution. The model has advantages in simulations for monitored slug tests, partial penetration, and inclusion of storage factor. Volume coverage of slug tests is significantly affected by storage factor. Magnitude and speed of propagation of head changes from a well increases as storage factor becomes low. It will be beneficial to use type curves of monitored head transients in the surrounding porous formation for estimation of specific storage. As the vertical component of groundwater flow is enhanced, the influence of storage factor on well recovery decreases. For a radial-vertical flow around a partially penetrated well, deviations between hydraulic estimates by various methods and data selection of recovery curve are negligible on practical purposes, whereas the deviations are somewhat significant for a radial flow.

The amplifier properties of single distributed feedback dye laser with 106 ps pulse width and 616 nm wavelength were invested using only one XeCl-excimer laser as pump source. For optimized amplification of DFDL, the three-stage amplifiers were arranged with increasing cross-section and accordingly increasing pump energies. The first AmpI, II stages were dye cell of 5 mm, 10 mm and contained a $6{\times}10^{-4}$ [mol/l](solvent : Methanol) of Rhodamine 610. Double-pass amplification in the AmPII was measured to suppress the ASE by using a diffraction grating. The beam intensity of AmpI, II was saturated with a gain of respectively 10 and 48. The last AmpIII was Bethune cell of 30 mm and contained a $3{\times}10^ {-4}$ [mol/l] (solvent : Ethanol) of Rhodamine 610. In the single-pass and double-pass amplification, the output energy was obtained 168.2 $\mu$J and 471$\mu$J respectively.

A strategic question in groundwater contaminant transport modeling is whether we need to treat waste packages or drums as individual, discrete sources or as approximately lumped sources. In this paper we present analyses of array sources in porous media. We analyze a planar array of sources in porous media with groundwater flow. We compare the concentration field predicted by a detailed model of individual point sources to concentration fields predicted by an infinite plane source and a single point source, all of the same equivalent strength. From this study we identified three regions: (1) a region close to the sources where the effects of adjacent sources are significant and individual source models should be used, (2) a region extending from a few meters to hundreds to thousands of meters downstream, where an equivalent source of infinite extent gives accurate results, and (3) a far-field region, where in an equivalent source of finite extent gives accurate results.

Step-drawdown tests were conducted at four pumping Wells, two in porous media and two in fractured rocks, respectively. In general, P = 2.0 suggested by Jacob (1947) is applied to porous media and fractured rocks in terms of drawdowns of step-drawdown test. In an attempt to review problems of linear model (Jacob's graphic method) in interpreting the step-draw down test, the outcomes of well parameters (aquifer loss coefficient (B), well loss coefficient (C) and well loss exponent (P)) calculated from linear and nonlinear model (Labadie and Helweg's least-squares method) were compared and analyzed. The values of C and P calculated from linear and nonlinear models differed according to permeability of aquifer and the conditions of pumping well. The value C obtained from nonlinear models in porous media and fractured rocks is about $10^0{\sim}10^{-2}$ and $10^{-3}{\sim}10^{-6}$ times lower than in their linear models, respectively. The value P of porous media obtained from nonlinear model ranged from 2.123 to 2.775, while it ranged from 3.459 to 5.635 for fractured rocks. In case of nonlinear model, well loss highly depends on the value P. At this time, well efficiencies calculated from linear and nonlinear models were $1.56{\sim}14.89%$ for porous media and $8.73{\sim}24.71%$ for fractured rocks, showing a significant error according to chosen models. In nonlinear model, it was found that the regression analysis using the least squares method was very useful to interpret step-drawdown test in all aquifer.

현재 고속 판독률(fast-readout-rate)과 고밀도(high-capacity) 디지털 데이터 정보저장을 위해 불륨 홀로그래피(volume holography) 기술에 많은 관심이 집중되고 있다. 이러한 특징들은 다중 데이터 페이지(mulitple data page)들을 중첩(superposition)시킴으로서 이루어지며, 각각의 페이지들은 100만 픽셀이상의 정보를 가지고 page/msec의 속도로 병렬 엑세스가 가능하다. 최근 연구논문에서는 10,000 페이지의 충첩 홀로그램,$^{[1]}$ 데이터 추출을 위한 디지털 처리기술의 사용,$^{[2]}$ 광학적인 데이터 접근$^{[3]}$ , 박막 매질을 이용한 높은 면적 밀도(10bits/$mu extrm{m}$$^2$)$^{[4]}$ 등이 구현되었다. 그러나 이들 실험들은 대량의 병렬 데이터 페이지들의 실질적인 광-전 변환(optical-electrical conversion)을 구현하지 못해 고밀도와 빠른 접근 속도를 동시에 만족시키지 못하고 있다. 이러한 원인중에 하나로 출력의 CCD 픽셀 격자위에 입력의 SLM픽셀 격자를 정확하게 결상시키는데 어려움이 있기 때문이다.

Nowadays, the field hydraulic test is still an only method to evaluate groundwater characteristics in subsurface. The results of hydraulic test are very important for the concept model of fracture hydrogeology as well as the geometric pattern of fractures. The hydraulic tests performed in Korea are generally analysed under such assumption as steady radial flow in homogeneous aquifer or along simple geometry of fractures. Also the transmissivity measured in a fixed interval length is equivalent to a sum of individual fracture transmissivities in test legth. The boundary effects of weH hydraulics and the geometry of flow paths are hardly obtained from the test results analysed by a steady flow method. To circumvent this problem, the flow dimensional analysis was attempted from the results of constant pressure injection test carried out in a fractured granite area. A comparison of the hydraulic conductivity values from the transient and steady analysis shows that the latter is about a factor of 2~3 higher than the former. However, it was possible to analyse a flow dimension of each test interval from flow rate variation with time. The upper part of the bedrock(<10m deep) indicates an open boundary and the flow dimension shows nearly steady states, while the lower part of the bedrock(>25m deep) is characterized as sublinear flow dimension with a dosed boundary. In one of the test sections(15m deep), the flow dimension was changed from linear flow to spherical flow. From the experience of this study, one of the immediate problems to be solved is to enhance the field testing equipments, i.e., an accurate flowmeter with autorecording and a pressure detecting device to be able to install in the test section.
