In this study, the relationships between hydraulic conductivity of GCLs and physico-chemical properties of bentonites were assessed. In addition to four factory manufactured GCLs, six artificially prepared GCLs (AP-GCLs) were tested. AP-GCLs were prepared in the laboratory without bonding or stitching. A total of 20 hydraulic conductivity tests were conducted using flexible wall permeameters ten of which were permeated with distilled deionized water (DIW) and the rest were permeated with tap water (TW). The hydraulic conductivity of GCLs and AP-GCLs were between $5.2{\times}10^{-10}cm/s$ and $3.0{\times}10^{-9}cm/s$. The hydraulic conductivities of all GCLs to DIW were very similar to that of GCLs to TW. Then, simple regression analyses were conducted between hydraulic conductivity and physicochemical properties of bentonite. The best correlation coefficient was achieved when hydraulic conductivity was related with clay content (R=0.85). Liquid limit and plasticity index were other independent variables that have good correlation coefficients with hydraulic conductivity (R~0.80). The correlation coefficient with swell index is less than other parameters, but still fairly good (R~0.70). In contrast, hydraulic conductivity had poor correlation coefficients with specific surface area (SSA), smectite content and cation exchange capacity (CEC) (i.e., R < 0.5). Furthermore, some post-test properties of bentonite such as final height and final water content were correlated with the hydraulic conductivity as well. The hydraulic conductivity of GCLs had fairly good correlation coefficients with either final height or final water content. However, those of AP-GCLs had poor correlations with these variables on account of fiber free characteristics.

Geosynthetic Clay Liners (GCLs) have been used for the applications of the hydraulic containment system in landfill due to inexpensive costs, simple workability and distinguished ability as a barrier material. However, bentonite of GCLs is easy to be damaged by the chemical solutions. Thus, there is a need to evaluate the potential susceptibility of GCLs causing Increase the hydraulic conductivity when GCLs are exposed to raw leachate and dissolved humic substances from landfill leachate. The hydraulic conductivity tests were performed with flexible-wall permeameter (the falling -headwater/rising -tailwater procedure) in order to verify the potential susceptibility of GCLs. The values of the hydraulic conductivity conducted with raw leachate as a permeant liquid increased considerably; however, The change of the hydraulic conductivity in the case of humic and fulvic acid were not worthy of notice. As the results of swelling tests of bentonite, however, humic substances can affect badly on the dispersion behavior of bentonite. These results indicate that humic substances dissolved in leachate could reduce the hydraulic conductivity of GCLs in landfill.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate immediate outcomes and clinical courses of patients with early gastric carcinoma with lymphoid stroma (GCLS) who underwent endoscopic resection. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 40 patients (mean age, 56.9 years; 90.0% male) who underwent endoscopic resection and were pathologically diagnosed with GCLS confined to the mucosa or to the submucosa between March 1998 and December 2017. Results: Forty GCLS lesions in 40 patients were treated using endoscopic resection. Only 4 (10%) patients received diagnosis of GCLS before endoscopic resection. Fourteen (35.0%) lesions were intramucosal cancers and 26 (65.0%) exhibited submucosal invasion. En bloc resection (97.5%) was achieved for all lesions except one, with no significant complications. The complete resection rate was 85.0% (34 of 40 lesions). After endoscopic resection, 17 patients were referred for surgery and underwent gastrectomy with lymph node (LN) dissection because of deep submucosal invasion (n=16) and misclassification as undifferentiated cancer (n=1). No LN metastasis was determined in the specimens obtained during surgery. During a mean follow-up period of 49.7 months for 23 patients without surgical treatment, no regional LN enlargements, distant metastases, or gastric cancer-related deaths were found, although 1 metachronous lesion (undifferentiated adenocarcinoma, follow-up duration: 7 months) was observed. Conclusions: In patients with early GCLS, endoscopic resection is technically feasible and has favorable clinical outcomes. Therefore, endoscopic resection might represent an alternative treatment modality in patients with early GCLS with a low likelihood of LN metastasis.

Geosynthetic Clay Liners(GCLs) have been widely used as hydraulic barrier in landfills and remediation projects of contaminated sites. The aim of this research is to modify GCLs for effective removal of contaminants. We perform the free swell test, hydraulic conductivity test, and contaminants (TCE, hexavalent chromium, and nitrate) removal test on the bentonite-ZVI mixture with various ZVI content. As the ZVI content increased, contaminants removal efficiencies and swell volume increased, and hydraulic conductivity decreased.

근래에 들어, 복합 라이너 시스템에서 점토차수재를 대신하여 GCL(Geosynthetic clay liner)의 사용이 급증하고 있다. 그러나, 과연 GCL의 수리학적 특성이 점토차수재와 대등하게 매립장 설계규준을 만족 시키는가의 여부는 오래동안 논란이 되어왔다. 실내시험 및 현장조사 결과 여러 가지 원인에 의해 GCL에 응력집중이나 비등방 분포 하중이 생길 때 국부적인 벤토나이트 유실로 팽윤된 GCL의 두께가 감소할 수 있음을 보여준다. 이 논문에서는 현장조사를 통하여 실내시험에서 얻어진 벤토나이트 유실을 확인하고 감소된 GCL 두께에 대한 수리학적 특성을 분석했다.

The slope stability of waste landfill has been a problem in domestic and foreign countries. Waste landfills are being constructed in a reclaimed land or mountainous area. But most of these places are consisted of steep slope and hence it is necessary to use the geosynthetic liners in there. The large size direct shear test(30cm x 30cm) equipment was used to determine the interface friction angles between CCLs and soil & geomembranes. The centrifuge model tests were performed to investigate the slope stability with considering various geosynthetic liners conditions and degree of slope. The results of centrifuge model test indicate that the degree of saturation of GCL, roughness of geomembrane, and slope of landfill have greatly influenced on the slope stability of solid waste landfill.

오늘날 폐기물 매립장의 구조적 안정성문제는 국내.외적으로 중요한 문제로 대두되고 있으며, 특히, 사면의 차수체계에서의 안정성에 대한 논란이 사회적 문제로 대두되고 있다. 또한, 우리 나라는 주민들의 NIMBY 현상과 국토의 효율적 활용을 위하여, 폐기물 매립장을 해안매립지나 산간지방에 많이 건설하고 있다. 그러나, 이러한 경우 사면구배가 급해지고 토목섬유의 활용이 불가피해져 안정성에 많은 문제점을 내포하게 된다. 이 연구는 폐기물 매립장 사면의 안정성을 해석하기 위하여, 원심모형실험을 실시하였다. 또한, 이론식 및 사면안정 해석 프로그램을 이용하여 안전을 산정하였다. 이 연구에 사용한 토목섬유 점토차수재(GCLs)의 팽윤도는 침출수와 증류수의 투과수에 대하여 22~25%의 팽윤도를 보였으며, 투수계수는 투과수가 침출수일 경우, 1.47$\times$10-10cm/sec, 증류수일 경우, 8.75$\times$10-11cm/sec의 값을 나타내었다. 원심모형실험 결과, 토목섬유 점토차수재의 포화여부와 지오멤브레인(HDPE)의 표면거칠기에 따라 사면 안전율이 각각 변화함을 알 수 있었으며, 표면이 거친 지오멤브레인과 건조한 토목섬유 점토차수재를 사용하였을 때, 파괴가 발생되지 않아 사면안정성이 높은 것으로 평가되었다. 또한, 이론에 의해 도출된 사면의 안전율과 사면안정 해석프로그램에 의한 안전율 계산 시, 전자의 경우가 후자의 경우보다 작게 평가됨을 알 수 있다.

폐기물 매립지 최종복토의 주요 기능중 하나는 매립지 내부로 우수의 침투를 억제하는 것이다. 이러한 기능을 담당하는 차단층은 폐기물 관리법상 다짐점토층(45cm)의 단독포설이나 다짐점토층(30cm)상부에 HDPE를 복합으로 포설하도록 되어 있다. 그러나 바닥층 사면부에서와 같이 최종복토층 끝단 사면부에서 다짐점토층의 포설이 어렵다는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 토목합성물질 사이에 차수성이 뛰어난 벤토나이트를 삽입한 토목합성수지점토라이너(Geosynthetic Clay Liner; GCL)를 다짐점토층 대신 적용하여 최종복토 끝단 사면부에서 차단층으로서의 적용가능성을 평가해 보고자 HELP 분석과 사면에서의 안정성 검토, 환경적 내구성 검토를 수행하였다. 그 결과 GCL이 기존의 다짐점토층보다 안정된 결과를 나타내고 있어 GCL을 최종복토의 차단층으로서 사용하도록 제안하고자 한다.

The main purpose of this study was to improve the efficiency and quality of in vitro embryo production in Korean Native Cows (KNC). We examined the effects of ovarian morphologies (Experiment 1) and the culture vessel (Experiment 2) on in vitro maturation (IVM). We measured the subsequent development rates and cell numbers of blastocysts. In Experiment 1, the ovaries of KNC were divided into six groups, based on follicle and corpus luteum (CL) morphology. The development rates to the 2- and 8-cell stages were similar among the six groups. The development rates to blastocyst stages were significantly higher in the group without a CL or follicle (WOCL/F) than in the groups with follicular cysts (FCs), regressive CLs (RCLs) or cystic CLs (CCLs) (p<0.05). The cell number of the inner cell mass (ICM) of blastocysts in the FCs and RCLs groups, and the number of cells in the trophectoderm (TE) in the WOCL/F group, FCs, growing CLs (GCLs) and RCLs were significantly higher than in other groups (p<0.05). The total cell number (TCN) in the WOCL/F, FC and RCL groups was also significantly higher than in other groups (p<0.05). The ICM cell number/TCN ratio was significantly higher in the FC and RCL groups than in the GCL and DF groups (p<0.05). In Experiment 2, oocyte IVM was carried out in culture dishes, in 0.25- or 0.5-ml straws used for freezing sperm. The development rate to the 2-cell stage was significantly higher in the 0.5-ml straw group than in the 0.25-ml straw group. The development rates to the blastocyst stage were similar in the dish and the two straw groups. There were no differences in the cell numbers of ICM, TE or TCN or ICM cell number/TCN ratios between groups.
