Facilities for low impact development (LID) or groundwater recharge have the high potential spreading groundwater nitrate contamination because of the rapid infiltration. This study was initiated to remove nitrate from the waters using agricultural byproducts as organic sources for denitrification during infiltration. As the first step of this purpose, we experimentally tested the denitrifying efficiency of 4 organic materials (pine tree woodchips, cherry leaves, rice straws, and rice hulls) and tried to identify the key factors controlling the efficiency. For this study, we precisely investigated the change of chemical reactions during the experiment by analyzing various geochemical parameters. The result shows that the denitrification efficiency is not simply linked to the availability of the easily decomposable contents in the organic matter. It is found that avoiding the severe pH decrease due to the CO₂ generation is the essence to derive the efficient denitrifying conditions when organic matters were used.

This paper presents micromachining results on planar-lightwave-circuit (PLC) chips with Si substrate and the quartz substrate by using Ti:Sapphire femtosecond-pulsed laser. The ablation process with femtosecond laser pulses generates nothing of contamination, molten zone, microcracks, shock wave, delamination and recast layer. We also showed that the micromachine for PLC using femtosecond pulsed lasers is superior to that using nanosecond pulsed lasers. The insertion loss and the optical return loss of the 1 ${\times}$ 8 optical power splitters packaged with micromachined input- and output-port U-grooves were less than 11.0 ㏈ and more than 55 ㏈, respectively. The wavelength dependent loss (WDL) was distributed within $\pm$0.6 ㏈ and the polarization dependent loss (PDL) was less than 0.2 ㏈.

In order to understand the biological role of calmodulin in plants, transgenic tobacco plants expressing a calmodulin mutant (VU-4 calmodulin, lys to ile-115) gene have been analyzed. SDS-PAGE and Western-blot analyses showed that the foreign calmodulin mutant is stably and highly expressed in the transgenic tobacco plants. The levels of $H_2O_2$were elevated approximately 2-fold in the transgenic plants. Furthermore, the transgenic tobacco plants have more than 6-fold higher levels of NADPH compared to control tobacco plants. The present findings, combined with previous data showing differences in the susceptibility of the transgenic tobacco seeds and normal tobacco seeds to fungal contamination (Oh and Yang, 1996), suggest that the expression of the calmodulin derivative gene in tobacco plants could increase resistance to infection by fungal pathogens.

This study investigated the purification process of groundwater contaminated with zinc and arsenic using a permeable reactive barrier with a zero-valent iron/pumice mixture. We determined the removal rates of the contaminants for 30 days. In this study, column reactor filled with the zero-valent iron/pumice reactive mixture was used. Experimental results showed that the mixture exhibited an almost complete removal of the zinc and arsenic ions. Arsenic was removed via co-precipitation and adsorption processes while zinc ions were asorbed in active sites.The purification process of water from the metal ionscontinued for 30 days with constant hydraulic conductivity because of the enhanced porosity of the pumice and interparticle distance between the zero-valent iron and pumice. Contaminants removal rates and the remediation mechanism for each reactive system are described in this paper.

The longitudinal velocity (forward speed) having significant importance in proper running of railway wheelset on track, depends greatly upon the adhesion ratio and creep analysis by implementation of suitable dynamic system on contamination. The wet track condition causes slip and slide of vehicle on railway tracking, whereas high speed may also increase slip and skidding to severe wear and deterioration of mechanical parts. The basic aim of this research is to design appropriate model aimed estimator that can be used to control railway vehicle forward velocity to avoid slip. For the filtration of disturbance procured during running of vehicle, the kalman filter is applied to estimate the actual signal on preferered samples of creep co-efficient for observing the applied attitude of noise. Thus error level is detected on higher and lower co-efficient of creep to analyze adhesion to avoid slip and sliding. The skidding is usually occurred due to higher forward speed owing to procured disturbance. This paper guides to minimize the noise and error based upon creep coefficient.

This research presented an implementation of autostereoscopic virtual three-dimensional (3D) button device as non-contact style. The proposed device has several characteristics about visible feature, non-contact use and artificial intelligence (AI) engine. The device was designed to be contactless to prevent virus contamination and consists of 3D buttons in a virtual stereoscopic view. To specify the button pressed virtually by fingertip pointing, a simple deep learning network having two stages without convolution filters was designed. As confirmed in the experiment, if the input data composition is clearly designed, the deep learning network does not need to be configured so complexly. As the results of testing and evaluation by the certification institute, the proposed button device shows high reliability and stability.

$CoSi_2$ was formed through annealing of atomic layer deposition Co thin films. Co ALD was carried out using bis(N,N'-diisopropylacetamidinato) cobalt ($Co(iPr-AMD)_2$) as a precursor and $NH_3$ as a reactant; this reaction produced a highly conformal Co film with low resistivity ($50\;{\mu}{\Omega}cm$). To prevent oxygen contamination, $ex-situ$ sputtered Ti and $in-situ$ ALD Ru were used as capping layers, and the silicide formation prepared by rapid thermal annealing (RTA) was used for comparison. Ru ALD was carried out with (Dimethylcyclopendienyl)(Ethylcyclopentadienyl) Ruthenium ((DMPD)(EtCp)Ru) and $O_2$ as a precursor and reactant, respectively; the resulting material has good conformality of as much as 90% in structure of high aspect ratio. X-ray diffraction showed that $CoSi_2$ was in a poly-crystalline state and formed at over $800^{\circ}C$ of annealing temperature for both cases. To investigate the as-deposited and annealed sample with each capping layer, high resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) was employed with electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS). After annealing, in the case of the Ti capping layer, $CoSi_2$ about 40 nm thick was formed while the $SiO_x$ interlayer, which is the native oxide, became thinner due to oxygen scavenging property of Ti. Although Si diffusion toward the outside occurred in the Ru capping layer case, and the Ru layer was not as good as the sputtered Ti layer, in terms of the lack of scavenging oxygen, the Ru layer prepared by the ALD process, with high conformality, acted as a capping layer, resulting in the prevention of oxidation and the formation of $CoSi_2$.

이 논문에서 광방출 분석법을 응용하여 반응용기 내부 오염과 특정 파장 크기변화의 관계를 알아보았다. 광방출 분석법을 이용하면 $O_2$ 플라즈마에서 폴리머가 제거되는 것이 관찰된다. 하지만 광방출 분석법은 외부영향에 의한 노이즈로 분석이 힘들며 다양한 조건에서의 폴리머 제거 상태를 비교하는 건 쉽지 않다. 이를 해결하고자 diff_CO 함수를 정의하고, 여러 경우에서의 diff_CO 함수 변화를 확인하였다. diff_CO 함수는 RF 인가시간이 증가함에 따라 최대값의 크기 감소와 작은 꼭지점 개수의 증가를 관찰할 수 있으며, 이를 이용하면 반응용기를 열지 않고도 반응용기 내부 오염정도를 파악하여 반응용기 세정 시점을 정할 수 있었다.

Urban groundwater has a unique hydrologic system because of the complex surface and subsurface infrastructures such as deep foundation of many high buildings, subway systems, and sewers and public water supply systems. It generally has been considered that increased surface impermeability reduces the amount of groundwater recharge. On the other hand, leaks from sewers and public water supply systems may generate the large amounts of recharges. All of these urban facilities also may change the groundwater quality by the recharge of a myriad of contaminants. This study was performed to determine the factors controlling the recharge of deep groundwater in an urban area, based on the hydrogeochemical characteristics. The term ‘contamination’ in this study means any kind of inflow of shallow groundwater regardless of clean or contaminated. For this study, urban groundwater samples were collected from a total of 310 preexisting wells with the depth over 100 m. Random sampling method was used to select the wells for this study. Major cations together with Si, Al, Fe, Pb, Hg and Mn were analyzed by ICP-AES, and Cl, N $O_3$, N $H_4$, F, Br, S $O_4$and P $O_4$ were analyzed by IC. There are two groups of groundwater, based on hydrochemical characteristics. The first group is distributed broadly from Ca-HC $O_3$ type to Ca-C1+N $O_3$ type; the other group is the Na+K-HC $O_3$ type. The latter group is considered to represent the baseline quality of deep groundwater in the study area. Using the major ions data for the Na+K-HC $O_3$ type water, we evaluated the extent of groundwater contamination, assuming that if subtract the baseline composition from acquired data for a specific water, the remaining concentrations may indicate the degree of contamination. The remainder of each solute for each sample was simply averaged. The results showed that both Ca and HC $O_3$ represent the typical solutes which are quite enriched in urban groundwater. In particular, the P$CO_2$ values calculated using PHREEQC (version 2.8) showed a correlation with the concentrations of maior inorganic components (Na, Mg, Ca, N $O_3$, S $O_4$, etc.). The p$CO_2$ values for the first group waters widely ranged between about 10$^{-3.0}$ atm to 10$^{-1.0}$ atm and differed from those of the background water samples belonging to the Na+K-HC $O_3$ type (<10$^{-3.5}$ atm). Considering that the p$CO_2$ of soil water (near 10$^{-1.5}$ atm), this indicates that inflow of shallow water is very significant in deep groundwaters in the study area. Furthermore, the P$CO_2$ values can be used as an effective parameter to estimate the relative recharge of shallow water and thus the contamination susceptibility. The results of our present study suggest that down to considerable depth, urban groundwater in crystalline aquifer may be considerably affected by the recharge of shallow water (and pollutants) from an adjacent area. We also suggest that for such evaluation, careful examination of systematically collected hydrochemical data is requisite as an effective tool, in addition to hydrologic and hydrogeologic interpretation.ion.ion.

점토와 같은 세립질 또는 유기물을 다량으로 함유하거나 다져진 지층을 대상으로 지중(in-situ) 정화를 진행하는 경우, 정화효율이 떨어져 정화비용이 증가하는 등의 한계가 발생한다. 또한, 토양조건이 양호하더라도 균일하지 않은 토질특성과 낮은 투수특성으로 인해 장기간에 걸쳐 정화를 수행하여 완료되는 것이 일반적이다. 본 연구는 기존 지중정화의 한계를 개선하기 위한 방법으로 공압파쇄, 진공추출, 플라즈마 블라스팅을 접목한 기술(PPV공법)의 정화효과 확인과 현장 적용성을 평가하고자 수행하였다. 상대적인 비교를 위하여 본 연구에 적용된 기술을 실험군으로 하고 기존 공법인 화학적산화공법을 대조군으로 하여 TPH로 오염된 토양에서80일에 걸쳐 각각 지중정화를 수행하였으며, 총 4차에 걸쳐 모니터링 시료를 채취하여 정화효과를 비교 평가하였다. 모니터링 결과, 대조군은 정화제 전달효과가 불량하여 오염도의 감소 경향성을 보이지 않는 반면 실험군(PPV공법) 적용에서는 정화시간이 경과함에 따라 뚜렷한 오염도 저감효과가 나타난다. 주입정으로부터 거리별 TPH 최고농도 저감율을 평가하면, 대조군은 경향성이 없으나 PPV공법은 주입정 반경 1 m 이내에서는 62.6%, 1.1~2.0 m에서 90.1%, 2.1~3.0 m에서 92.1%의 정화효과를 보인다. 주입정으로부터 거리별 TPH 평균농도 저감율을 평가하면, 대조군은 실질적인 정화효과가 없으나 PPV공법은 주입정 반경 1 m 이내에서는 53.6%, 1.1~2.0 m에서 82.4%, 2.1~3.0 m에서 68.7%의 정화효과가 확인되었다. TPH 최대 및 평균 오염농도의 변화를 토대로 실험군과 대조군의 정화효율을 평가한 결과, PPV공법은 대조군 대비 149.0~184.8%의 정화효과가 상승하는 것으로 평가할 수 있으며 평균 정화효과 상승률은 약167%이다. 시간경과에 대한 TPH 농도를 분석을 통해 상관관계식을 도출하고 이를 활용하여 최초 농도 대비 80% 저감기간을 평가한 결과 PPV공법을 적용하는 경우 화학적산화공법 적용시보다 184.4%의 정화시간 단축이 가능할 것으로 평가되었다. 다만, 단일 부지에 대한 평가 결과이기 때문에 모든 지층에 동일하게 적용될 수 없으므로 향후 이에 대한 추가적인 연구를 수행하여 그 효과를 보다 면밀히 검토할 필요가 있다.
