Natural green rust (GR) can retard the migration of anions through geological media because it has a Layer Double Hydroxyl (LDH) structure with a positive charge. In this study, the sorption behaviors of anions such as selenite ($Se(IV)O{_3}^{2-}$), selenate ($Se(VI)O{_4}^{2-}$), and iodide ($I^-$) onto green rusts with different structures, i.e., GR($Cl^-$) and GR($CO{_3}^{2-}$), were investigated by conducting batch sorption experiments in an anoxic condition. Experimental results showed that selenite was mostly sorbed onto GR($CO{_3}^{2-}$) and then partly reduced to metal selenium, Se(0). However, little selenate and iodide was sorbed onto GR($CO{_3}^{2-}$) while some iodide was sorbed onto GR($Cl^-$). It is presumed from the experimental results that the major sorption mechanism of $SeO{_3}^{2-}$ and $I^-$ onto green rusts is the anion exchange reaction with the anions existing in the interlayer of the rusts. Green rust, therefore, can play an important role in the retardation of anions migrating through deep geological environments owing to its LDH structure with a high anion exchange capacity.

상대적으로 유역의 관측 자료가 충분하지 못하거나 검증되지 않았을 경우 미계측 유역으로 정의되며 수문모형의 매개변수 검정을 할 수 없으므로 다른 방법을 고안해야 한다. 이를 위해 기존 연구에서는 지역적 특성을 고려한 지역회기분석을 통해 미계측 유역의 유량을 산정하였는데, 대부분 유역의 특성과 연 평균 유출량 자료의 관계를 이용한 회귀식으로 실시간 유량의 변화를 고려하기 어려웠다. 본 연구에서는 개념적 강우-유출모형으로 많이 사용되고 있는 개념적 수문모형인 GR4J의 매개변수에 대해 미계측 유역의 특성을 고려한 변수들을 이용하여 회귀식을 구하고 그 적용성을 평가하였다. 이를 통해 미계측 유역의 유량 시계열 자료를 생성할 수 있었다. 또한 IPCC에서 발간한 AR5의 RCP 4.5 시나리오를 적용하여 미래 유출량을 산정하였다. 우선 지역회귀분석을 적용하기 위해 수문모형을 이용한 계측 유역의 유출량을 구하였으며 22개의 전국 댐 상류 지점을 기준으로 SCE 알고리즘을 이용하여 GR4J의 최적 매개변수를 구하고 각 유역별로 물리적, 지형적, 기상학적 특성을 고려하여 11개의 변수를 선택하였다. 각 변수간 다중공선성(Multicollinearity)를 고려하기 위해 VIF(Variation Inflation Factor) test를 적용하여 최종 7개의 변수를 선정하고 단계별 회귀방법(Stepwise regression)을 이용하여 GR4J의 매개변수별 회귀식을 생성하였다.

In this study, the effects of specimen size and side-groove on the results of the J-R test for leak-before-break (LBB) evaluation were investigated. A series of J-R tests were conducted at both RT and $316^{\circ}C$, using three different sizes of compact tension (CT) specimens machined from SA508 Gr.1a piping material: 12.7 mm-thick 1T-CT, 25.4 mm-thick 1T-CT, and 25.4 mm-thick 2T-CT with and without side-groove. The results showed that side-grooving reduced the J-R curve for all specimens and the effect of side-grooving was more significant at $316^{\circ}C$ than at RT. As the thickness of the specimens decreased and the width of the specimens increased, the J-R curve slightly decreased at RT but it increased at $316^{\circ}C$. However, the variation in the J-R curve of SA508 Gr.1a with the thickness and width of CT specimen was insignificant.

There is a growing need to introduce advanced pressure vessel steels with higher strength and toughness for the optimizatiooCn of the design and construction of longer life and larger capacity nuclear power plants. SA508 Gr.4N Ni-Cr-Mo low alloy steels have superior strength and fracture toughness, compared to SA508 Gr.3 Mn-Mo-Ni low alloy steel. Therefore, the application of SA508 Gr.4N low alloy steel could be considered to satisfy the strength and toughness required in advanced nuclear power plants. The purpose of this study is to characterize the microstructure and mechanical properties of SA508 Gr.4N low alloy steels. 1 ton ingot of SA508 Gr.4N model alloy was fabricated by vacuum induction melting followed by forging, quenching, and tempering. The predominant microstructure of the SA508 Gr.4N model alloy is tempered martensite having small packet and fine Cr-rich carbides. The yield strength at room temperature was 540MPa, and it was decreased with an increase of test temperature while DSA phenomenon occurred at around $288^{\circ}C$. Overall transition property of SA508 Gr.4N model alloy was much better than SA508 Gr.3 low alloy steel. The index temperature, $T_{41J}$, of SA508 Gr.4N model alloy was $-132^{\circ}C$ in Charpy impact tests, and reference nil-ductility transition temperature, $RT_{NDT}$ of $-105^{\circ}C$ was obtained from drop weight tests. From the fracture toughness tests performed in accordance with the ASTM standard E1921 Master curve method, the reference temperature, $T_0$ was $-147^{\circ}C$, which was improved more than $60^{\circ}C$ compared to SA508 Gr.3 low alloy steels.

The heat-affected zone (HAZ) of SA508 Gr.4N Ni-Mo-Cr low alloy steel, which has higher Ni and Cr contents than SA508 Gr.3 Mn-Mo-Ni low alloy steel, was investigated on the microstructure and mechanical properties. The HAZ was categorized into seven characteristic zones (CGCG, FGCG, ICCG, SCCG, FGFG, ICIC and SCSC-HAZ) according to the peak temperature from the thermal cycle experienced during multi-pass welding. Post Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT) was conducted in the temperature range of $550{\sim}610^{\circ}C$ for 30 hours to evaluate the effect of PWHT conditions on the microstructure and mechanical properties. Before PWHT, CGHAZ and FGFGHAZ showed high yield strength (YS) ranging from 1000 to 1250 MPa, while YS of SCSCHAZ decreased from 607 MPa (observed for base metal) to 501 MPa. The Charpy impact energies of sub-HAZs fell below 100J at $-29^{\circ}C$, except in the SCSCHAZ. By applying PWHT to sub-HAZ specimens, YS decreased as the PWHT temperature increased. In the case of CGHAZs and FGFGHAZ heat-treated at $610^{\circ}C$, YS dropped drastically to the range of 654~686 MPa. From the Charpy impact test, the upper-shelf energy (USE) increased to approximately 250J and Index temperature ($T_{68J}$) decreased below $-50^{\circ}C$. Specifically, in FGFG, ICIC and SCSC-HAZ, $T_{68J}$ was below -110, which was lower than the case of base metal.

These experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of Glycyrrhizae Radix extract(GR) on histamine synthesis, lymphocyte blastogenesis in C57BL/6J mice splenocytes, IL-1 production, $Ca^{2+}$ uptake by macrophage-like P388D$_{1}$ cells and plaque forming cell assay against SRBC. Histamine contents, lymphocyte blastogenesis, IL-1 activity, $Ca^{2+}$ uptake and plaque forming cell were determined by enzyme isotope method, [$^{3}$H]-thymidine incorporation, C3H/HeJ mouse thymocytes proliferation, the addition of 5 $\mu$Ci/ml $^{45}Ca^{2+}$ to P388D$_{1}$ cell suspension and assay to sheep red blood cell, respectively. Cytotoxicity, which was expressed as 50% mortality, was occurred by the addition of GR(10$^{-3}$g/ml). Histamine production in mouse spleen cell culture was significantly increased by 48 hour incubation added 0.25$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml of Con A. Con A-dependent T-lymphocyte proliferation was also enhanced by the addition of 0.25 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml of Con A. GR depressed histamine contents at 10$^{-9}$~10$^{-4}$g/ml. and Con A (0.25 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml) dependent T-lymphocyte proliferation at 10$^{-5}$~10$^{-4}$g/ml. IL-1 activity was significantly decreased by 10$^{-8}$~10$^{-4}$g/ml of GR. $Ca^{2+}$ uptake was not changed by GR, but antibody production markedly increased at 10.0~50.0 mg/kg of GR. From the above results, it is suggested that GR have immuno-regulatory action; GR decreased cell-mediated immune response and increased antibody production by B lymphocyte at high doses.

강우-유출에 대한 수문해석에 있어 유효강우량 산정방법으로는 여러 가지가 있으나 국내외로 미농무부(United States Department of Agriculture)에서 제안한 NRCS-CN 방법이 널리 사용되고 있다. SCS-CN 방법은 1개의 매개변수만을 사용하여 방법이 간략하고 유역 토양특성의 반영이 가능하다는 장점이 있으나 공간적 규모에 따른 효과반영이 불가하고 초기손실우량비를 0.2로 고정하는 가정의 문제점 등이 있다. 많은 연구자들이 SCS-CN 방법의 문제점을 보완하고자 다양한 방법을 제시하였으며 특히 Michel 등(2005)은 토양수분계산가정(Soil Moisture Accounting Procedure)에서 유출기준저류고를 새로운 매개변수로 제안하여 초기손실우량비 가정의 불합리성을 개선하고 새로운 AMC 조건식을 산정하였다. 그러나 범용적인 AMC 조건식을 제안하고자 140개 유역에 적용한 결과를 통해 유출기준저류고는 토양의 최대잠재보유수량의 1/3으로 일괄 적용하는 문제점이 있으며, 민감도분석을 통해 전체 결과의 효율이 좋은 값으로 선정하였다. 이에 본 연구에서는 일 단위 집중형 장기유출모형인 GR4J(Ge'nie Rural a' 4 parame'tres Journalier)를 Michel이 제안한 모형을 적용하기 위해 선정하였으며 토양수분계산과정에서 새로운 매개변수인 유출기준저류고를 최적화기법인 화음탐색법을 적용하여 결정하였다. 적용대상은 국내의 달방댐, 횡성댐, 섬진강댐, 청주댐, 대청댐유역에 적용하였으며 본 연구에서 제안한 방법이 강우-유출 결과의 정확성을 향상시키는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 최종적으로 최적화된 유출기준저류고와 유역크기와의 상관성분석을 통하여 관계식을 도출하였다. 토양수분과정에 대한 고려는 유출량을 산정하는 데 있어서 정확성을 높이는 데 기여할 수 있으며 더불어 본 연구에서 제안한 관계식을 통하여 유출기준저류고와 유역특성과의 연관성을 확인할 수 있었다.

CR asthma is associated with disease chronicity, a positive family history of asthma and in vitro and in vivo defects in mononuclear cell function. The HPA axis in CR asthmatics is suppressed normally by dexamethasone and the pharmacokinetic profile of an oral dose of prednisolone is similar to that found in CS subjects. In addition, competitive binding studies have shown that the ligand binding and nuclear translocation functions of the GR are similar in the two groups. Studies using gel retardation assay have indicated a defect in DNA binding in CR subjects. Chemical mutational analysis of the GR has shown that is not due to a defect in its structure at the cDNA level. Scatchard analysis of the GR/DNA and GR/ligand interactions suggests that there may be transcriptional interference of the GR with other transcriptionally active molecules leading to defective gene transcription.

Convective heat transfer in a two-dimensional horizontal and vertical channel with isothermal rectangular beams attached to one adiabatic wall is investigated from the numerical solution of Navier-Stokes and energy equations. The solutions have been obtained for dimensionless beam spacings, S/L=1~4, aspect ratios of beam, H/B=0.25~4, Reynolds numbers, Re=50~1000 and Grashof numbers, $Gr=0{\sim}5{\times}10^4$. The total mean Nusselt number, Nu_T for horizontal and vertical channels shows same value at Gr=0. As Gr increases, Nu_T for horizontal channel increases, but Nu_T for vertical channel shows similar value at S/L=2, H/B=0.25, Re=100. The total mean Nusselt number for horizontal channel is higher than that for vertical channel. As H/B increases, $Nu_T$ for both channel decrease at $Gr=10^4$, Re=100.

Flow and heat transfer characteristics of mixed convection heat transfer in a rectangular en-closure with various outlets are numerically investigated. The parameters considered here include Reynolds number, Grashof number and the position of outlet. The results show streamlines, isotherms, Nusselt numbers, velocity and temperature distributions. It has been shown that as Reynolds number increases, the size of cell decreases at Re$\leq$100 and increases at Re>100 for $Gr=10^4$. There is a minimum size of cells at Re=100, $Gr=10^4$. The maximum mean Nusselt number occurs at Re=400, $Gr=10^4$ and one right outlet. The mean Nusselt numbers can be formulated by the correlation equation $Nu=C{\cdot}Gr^a{\cdot}Re^b$.
