Chlorination and UV illumination are being widely applied to inactivate a number of pathogenic microbials in the environment. Here, we evaluated the inactivation efficiency of individual and combined treatments of chlorination and UV under various aqueous conditions. UV dosage was required higher in waste water than in phosphate buffer to achieve the similar disinfecting efficiency. Free chlorine generated by electrolysis of waste water was abundant enough to inactivate microbials. Based on these, hybrid system composed of sequential treatment of electrolysis-mediated chlorination and UV treatment was developed under waste water conditions. Compared to individual treatments, hybrid system inactivated bacteria (i.e., E. coli and S. typhimurium) and viruses (i.e., MS-2 bacteriophage, rotavirus, and norovirus) more efficiently. The hybrid system also mitigated the photo re-pair of UV-driven DNA damages of target bacteria. The combined results suggested the hybrid system would achieve high inactivation efficiency and safety on various pathogenic microbials in wastewater.

유체 저장 구조물은 지진 시 유체의 출렁임에 의해 동수압이 발생한다. 이 때, 유체의 동수압은 지진의 강도뿐만 아니라 유체 자유수면의 출렁임 높이(sloshing height)에 의해서도 변화한다. 이러한 하중 변화에 영향을 미치는 인자로는 지진파의 형상, 최대지진강도, 유체 저장구조물의 크기, 구조물의 폭, 유체의 높이 등이 있으며, 본 연구에서는 유체높이와 구조물 폭의 비가 유체의 출렁임 특성에 미치는 영향을 규명하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 구조물의 폭이 500mm인 수조에 구조물의 전체 높이 대비 50%인 200mm와 35%인 140mm의 유체를 담아 실지진파를 적용시켜 유체 자유수면의 출렁임 높이를 측정하였다. 또한 수치해석기법 중 하나인 SPH기법을 통하여 실험과 해석의 유사성을 검증하였다. 실험과 해석의 비교를 통하여 유체의 자유 수면이 유사한 형상을 나타냄을 확인하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 SPH기법을 적용하여 유체높이와 구조물 폭의 비를 다양하게 변화시키면서 유체 자유수면의 출렁임 형상을 분석하였다. 이상의 결과를 바탕으로 지진시 유체 자유수면의 최대 높이 및 최소높이를 예측할 수 있는 식을 제안하였으며, 제안식에 의해 예측된 유체 자유수면의 최대 높이 및 최소 높이의 오차는 최대 3% 이내임을 확인하였다.

A sequencing batch reactor was operated under different pH conditions to see the influence of free ammonia (FA) and free nitrous acid (FNA) to microbial community on ammonium partial nitrification. Long-term influences of FA and FNA were evaluated by polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis and fluorescence in situ hybridization. Nitrite accumulation was successfully achieved at pH 8.2 and 6.3. The shifts in the microbial community were observed when influent ammonia concentration increased to 1 g $NH_4$-N/L at pH 8.2, and then when pH was dropped to 6.3. Both Nitrosomonas and Nitrosospira were selected during the startup of the reactor, and eventually became dominant members as ammonia-oxidizing bacteria. The results of molecular microbiological analysis strongly suggested that the composition of microbial community was changed according to the method used to control nitrite-oxidizing bacteria.

Calm water wave resistance plays a very important role in ship hull design. Numerical methods are meaningful for this reason. In this study, two prevailing methods, the Neumann-Kelvin and the Rankine source method, were implemented and compared. The Neumann-Kelvin method assumes linearized free surface boundary condition and only needs to mesh the hull surface. The Rankine source method considers nonlinear free surface boundary condition and meshes both the ship hull surface and free surface. Both methods were implemented and the wave resistance of a Wigley III and three Series 60(Cb=0.6, 0.7, 0.8) hulls were analyzed. The results were compared with experimental results and the merits of both numerical techniques were quantified. Based on the results, it is concluded that the Rankine source method is more accurate in the calculation of the wave-making resistance. Using the Neumann-Kelvin method, it is found to be easier to model the hull and can be used for slender ships to solve problems like wave current coupling calculation.

To investigate an effect of Gam-Roa tea on the free radical or alcohol detoxicating enzyme activities, the rats got a drink at the Gam-Roa tea instead of water for 3 months, and then the animals were sacrificed and obtained the following findings. The animals receiving Gam-Roa tea showed a decreasing tendency of hepatic xanthine oxithine oxidase activity and significantly incresed content of cytochrome P-450 compared with the control. Furthermore, hepatic superoxide dismutase and glutathione S-transferase activities were also more increased in rats received Gam-Roa tea than in the control group, those receiving water. On the other hand, alcohol or aldehyde dehydrogenase activities were more increased in rats receiving Gam-Roa tea than the control. In conclusion, it is likely that the liver of rats receiving Gam-Roa tea may have the oxygen free radical or alcohol detoxication potential.

Monodisperse micron-sized polystyrene (PS) spheres were successfully obtained using a single stage soap-free emulsion method in aqueous media mixed with ethanol (co-solvent) containing NaCI as the electrolyte. The optimum conditions for preparing the monodisperse PS microspheres, using soap-free emulsion polymerization in a water/ethanol mixture with an electrolyte, were studied. The presence of the co-solvent and electrolyte controlled the particle dispersion stability during the polymerization. The microspheres formed using PS, with a weight-average diameter of $2.6{\mu}m$, coefficient of variation of 5.3% and zeta potential of -15.1 eV, were successfully obtained in the presence of 0.1 wt% NaCI, 10 wt% monomer, 0.1 wt% initiator and 95/5 (g/g) of a water/ethanol mixture reacted at $70^{\circ}C$ for 24 h.

The influence of temperature and pressure on the free energy of the ion hydration has been considered. The ion radii measured by conductometric method and the saturated dielectric constant cited from other works were used to calculate the free energy in the hydration shell. The Born equation was modified in order to fit in our model. In our model, the environment of ion consists of three regions. The innermost one is the hydration shell in which water is immobilized and electrostricted, the middle one is the one which contains less ordered waters than the bulk medium, and the outermost one is the bulk water which is under the influence of the electric field of ion. Our results for the free energy of ion hydration were compared with those of other attempts. Especially, ${\Delta}$G$_{hyd}$ of $Li^+$ ion is considerably too negative in this study at given temperature, comparing with those of other attempts. But ${\Delta}$G$_{hyd}$ of other ions coincides with each other.

금속분말을 연료로 하는 연소기 개발에 있어 발생하는 문제점 중에 하나는 알루미나 slag 처리이다. 연소기 내부에 Water film을 형성시킴으로써 금속분말 연소기의 문제점을 해결할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다. 이를 위한 선행연구로 water film의 형성 조건에 대한 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 모델에 대하여 물 분사 속도가 증가할수록 원형 모델에 대한 water fim 각도가 작아져, 약 10 m/s이상에서 완전한 water film이 형성되는 것을 알 수 있었다.

A survey was carried out from August to December 2004 in Pusan, Korea to document the presence of free-living amoeba (FLA), including the genus Acanthamoeba, in both contact lens storage cases and domestic tap water. Acanthamoeba was isolated from $5(4.2\%)$ in 120 contact lens storage cases. Four house tap water samples from residents, whose contact lens storage cases had been contaminated by Acanthamoeba, were also found to be contaminated with Acanthamoeba. Therefore, the contamination rate of FLA and Acanthamoeba in domestic tap water was investigated in order to examine the role of domestic tap water in Acanthamoeba contamination of contact lens storage cases. FLA and Acanthamoeba were identified in $97(46.8\%)\;and\;16(7.7\%)$ of the 207 domestic tap water samples, respectively. There were no significant differences between the contamination rates of FLA in tap water according to the filtration plant of origin. No FLA was detected in the tap water directly supplied by the water purification plants. Water storage tanks appear to promote FLA colonization, including Acanthamoeba, in domestic tap water. This increases the risk of Acanthamoeba contamination in contact lens storage cases as well as increasing the risk of Acanthamoeba keratitis.

본 연구에서는 3차원 점성 흐름에 적용될 수 있는 비정수압 자유수면 모형을 수평방향 직교 곡선좌표계에서 개발하였다. 개발된 수치모형은 엇갈린 격자를 사용함으로써 발생되는 자유수면에서의 경계조건 종결 문제를 수면층 방정식을 도입하여 해결하였으며, 난류의 유동 해석을 위한 폐합식으로 등방성의 k-${\varepsilon}$ 난류모형을 이용하였다. 본 연구에서 운동량방정식은 이송-확산항만으로 중간단계의 유속을 예측하고, 압력 및 중력을 포함하는 생성항과 연속방정식을 결합하여 다음 시간단계의 유동장을 결정하는 계산 단계 분리법을 이용하였다. 수치모형의 적용성 평가를 위하여 폐쇄된 2차원 수조에서의 취송류, 급경사를 가지는 2차원 수로에서의 흐름, 원심력에 의한 이차류 흐름특성 분석을 위한 3차원 급변 만곡류에 대한 모의를 실시하였다. 수치모의 예측치는 수리모형 실험값과 수위, 유속, 난류특성 등에서 일치하는 양상을 보이는 것이 확인되었다.
