Agricultural areas in the north region of Bangladesh suffer from water shortages during the dry season as well as dry spells in the monsoon period. The Teesta Barrage was constructed in 1990 to provide supplemental irrigation water during the monsoon period. After completion of the project high yielding variety of crops were introduced more in the project area. Due to this reason unforeseen needs of irrigation water during the dry season has emerged. This study reviews the current irrigation status and related constraints to a full development of the project and provides suggestions for future improvement of the project. Also suggested is to apply remote sensing technique for the management of the system as a whole. Use of remote sensing technique for the management of irrigation water resources is a new approach in Bangladesh. Application of such a powerful tool will provide better management options for large-scale irrigation projects in the country.

Licenses for the storage of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) and vitrified highly active waste in casks under dry conditions are limited to 40 years and have to be renewed for prolonged storage periods. If such a license renewal has to be expected since as in accordance with the new site selection procedure a final repository for spent fuel in Germany will not be available before the year 2050. For transport and possible unloading and loading in new casks for final storage, the integrity and the maintenance of the geometry of the cask's inventory is essential because the SNF rod cladding and the cladding of the vitrified highly active waste are stipulated as a barrier in the storage concept. For SNF, the cladding integrity is ensured currently by limiting the hoop stress and hoop strain as well as the maximum temperature to certain values for a 40-year storage period. For a prolonged storage period, other cladding degradation mechanisms such as inner and outer oxide layer formation, hydrogen pick up, irradiation damages in cladding material crystal structure, helium production from alpha decay, and long-term fission gas release may become leading effects driving degradation mechanisms that have to be discussed.

The small modular reactors (SMRs) of the integrated pressurized water reactor (IPWR) type have been widely developed owing to their enhanced safety features. The SMR-IPWR adopts passive residual heat removal system (PRHRS) to extract residual heat from the core. Because the PRHRS removes the residual heat using the latent heat of the water stored in the emergency cooldown tank, the PRHRS gradually loses its cooling capacity after the stored water is depleted. A quick restoration of the power supply is expected infeasible under station blackout accident condition, so an advanced PRHRS is needed to ensure an extended grace period. In this study, an advanced design is proposed to indirectly incorporate a dry air cooling tower to the PRHRS through an intermediate loop called indefinite PRHRS. The feasibility of the indefinite PRHRS was assessed through a long-term transient simulation using the MARS-KS code. The indefinite PRHRS is expected to remove the residual heat without depleting the stored water. The effect of the environmental temperature on the indefinite PRHRS was confirmed by parametric analysis using comparative simulations with different environmental temperatures.

The long-term storability of home-made dry sausage and ham in terms of peroxide value and thiobarbituric acid value, the effects of nitrite and NaCl contents on the deterioration of the products and the public acceptance of dry ham were studied. The results of this study are as follows: 1. Because the storability of the dried meat products is mainly affected by the fat rancidity of the fat content, POV of 10 was assumed the critical point of storability. The sample dry sausage used in this experiment has lost its storability within a ripening period of 5 weeks. And dry ham was lost its peculiar relish within 50 days. 2. The variations of the NaCl contents of the dry products were reflected in the ripening process. The correlation coefficient between the variations of the NaCl contents and the decrease in the weight of the dry ham was 0.85. 3. The survey of public taste for dry ham was conducted on 35 college students, who think it a bit tasteful or tasteless account for 66% of the total and those who think it a simple relish account for 60%, thus indicating that the dry ham still remains far away from the dining table.

To investigate geomorphic development of alluvial plains and climatic environment change during the late Holocene carbon dating, soil organic carbon analysis and humus analysis of sediments from alluvial plain of Hampyeongcheon basin were performed. The lowest peat layer was formed under warm and humid climates, which is considered to correspond to the Atlantic period in the Holocene. Yellowish brown sandy clay layer was deposited in the natural levee, which we think were deposited in the generally warm and dry climates. The carbon dating age is 1,879-1,532 BC, and this period correspond to the Sub-boreal period in the Holocene. Light brown clay layer is assumed to have been deposited in transitional environment from the natural levee to the back marsh. The climatic environment was warm and humid, which is considered as transitional period from the Sub-boreal to the Sub-Atlantic in the Holocene. Light yellowish brown and light brown clay layer of the upper part are regarded as sediments of the back marsh. Light yellowish brown clay layer was deposited in the cold and dry climates, which is considered to correspond to the Sub-Atlantic period in the Holocene. Light brown clay layer was deposited in the warm and dry climates. The carbon dating age is 211-427 AD, this period corresponds to the Post Roman Warm Period in the Holocene.

This study investigated the quality change in dry aged beef cattle loins (temperature: $3{\pm}1$, lative humidity: $75{\pm}5%$, period: 14 days), compared to non-aged beef cattle loins (control). The water content of dry aged loins was lower than that of the control (p<0.001). The fat content, protein content, pH value, and redness in dry aged loins were higher than in the control. Moreover, dry aging significantly improved the water holding capacity and cooking yield of beef cattle loin (p<0.001). The shear force of dry aged loins was significantly lower than in the control (p<0.01). The flavor, tenderness, juiciness, and overall acceptability of dry aged loins were higher than in the control according to sensory evaluation. Therefore, dry aging can improve the quality properties of beef cattle loins.

The friction and lubrication characteristics of joint cartilage were investigated using the metatarso-phalangeal joint cartilage of rabbit against rotating stainless steel disk. Friction tests were conducted by dry and bovine serum lubricated sliding at room and body temperatures. For the dry sliding tests, low friction coefficient of 0.1-0.15 was observed at the early period of test, and then the friction coefficient increased as a test continued. With increasing applied load the early period of low friction lengthens. For the lubricated sliding tests, the coefficient of friction decreased as the applied load increased. And also the coefficient of friction decreased continuously to 0.07 as the test duration increases. These results can be interpreted that the squeeze or weeping lubrication mechanism dominates the friction and lubrication characteristics in the joint cartilage of rabbit.

The studies of density effect or the effect of population density on plant growth have been done on basis of dry matter production with Raphanus acanthiformis var. simoodaeguen, Brassica campestris var. Pekinensis f. namsounsokoombecheu, Oryza sativa f. kimmajae and O. sativa f. mangyeng grown in the various spacing. 1. In the early period of plant growth in dry weight was not different each other among varying densities, but as time advanced the plant grown vast space grew sufficiently compared with those of narrow one. 2. Iogarithmic relation between the growth of plant (W) and the density (P), log W-log P in the material plants, were approximated by two straight lines, one was horizontal line and another inclined: the former showed non-competition density and the latter competition density addition to these the point interlinking both lines were implied of the optimum density per unit land area at certain growth period. 3. The values of relatvie growth rate (RGR) and net assimilation rate (NAR) were decreased as increase in the density, while those of leaf area ratio (LAR) were rather increased in the same condition, with minor exception. From these results and relation between the productive structure and due to lack of the recieved light intensity owing to the mutal shading among the plants.

Dry matter production of herb community in the Central Korea was studied. Generally, the maximum standing crop in the Central Korea can be observed during the period from July through September with somewhat differences between the herb communities of different floristic composition. Differences in standing crop between the communities of similar floristic composition in different regiions were insignificant while those between different floristitc community were relatively great, ranging from 308.7 d.w.g/$m^2$ in Phragmites prosturatus community. It seems that regional difference in standing crop of herb community of the same floristic composition in the Central Korea is greatly influenced by grazing effect rather than any other conditions. The maximum leaf area index (LAI) of different herb communities was observed during the period from July through September, ranging from 3.0 in Plantago asiatica community to 16.0 in Phragnites longivalvis community.

This study was conducted to identify the runoff characteristics of non-point source according to rainfall in Nam watershed. Land-uses of the Nam watershed were surveyed paddy field 4.5%, crop field 6.8%, mountainous 78.7%, urban 2.4%, and etc. 7.7%. Mean runoff coefficients in each area were observed Ⅰ area 0.08, Ⅱ area 0.08, and Ⅲ area 0.05. In the relationship between the rainfall and peak-flow, correlation coefficients(r) were investigated Ⅰ area -0.8609, Ⅱ area 0.6035, and Ⅲ area -0.4913. In the relationship between the antecedent dry period and first flow runoff, correlation coefficients(r) were investigated Ⅰ area -0.9093, Ⅱ area -0.1039, and Ⅲ area -0.7317. The discharge of pollutant concentrations relates to the flow rate of storm-water. In the relationship between the rainfall and watershed loading, exponent values of BOD, COD, SS, and T-N were estimated to 1.2751, 1.2003, 1.3744, and 1.1262, respectively.
