The established mathematical modeling methods have limitation to know the hydraulic characteristics at the wastewater treatment plant which are complex and nonlinear systems. So, an artificial neural network (ANN) model based on hydraulic characteristics is applied for modeling wastewater quality of a full-scale wastewater treatment plant using DNR (Daewoo nutrient removal) process. ANN was trained using data which are influents (TSS, BOD, COD, TN, TP) and effluents (COD, TN, TP) components in a year, and predicted the effluent results based on the training. To raise the efficiency of prediction, inputs of ANN are added the influent and effluent information that are in yesterday and the day before yesterday. The results of training data tend to have high accuracy between real value and predicted value, but test data tend to have lower accuracy. However, the more hydraulic characteristics are considered, the results become more accuracy.

This paper tried to identify recognition and historical background about western table decoration. For the study, the documentary study would be accomplished. the range of time was during Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo, and Neo-classic period, and the range of space was among Italy, France, and England. Styles for example architectures, interior designs, arts, and sculptures represented their own period, and had great influences on eating habits, and the eating habits would be influent on kitchen utensils. As a results of the fact, the structural elements and decoration of table would be showed different characteristics according to periods of time. Today's food cultural trends consisted of consumption, taste, sense, and consumers' demands become diversified, so the paper would be an important data to understand new designs proper for our own modem sense that cope with modem feeling.

The treatment performances of anaerobic-aerobic activated sludge Process were investigated under various operation conditions. The treatment system proposed in this study gave a relatively stable performance against hourly change of the flow rate and showed a satisfactory removal efficiency of nitrogen and phosphorus compounds under experimental conditions. The average removal efficiency of total nitrogen gradually decreased as the influent total nitrogen concentration was increased. High C/N ratio of the wastewater was required for the complete removal of nitrogen. Glucose as a carbon source was more efficient than starch and the removal ability for all components become hither with the increase of the fraction of glucose.

An aerated submerged biofilm reactor is the reactor in which influent organic substrates are aerobically oxidized by suspended biomass and attached biomass of biofilm grown on the surface of submerged media. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of aeration intensity on microbial characteristics and treatment efficiency in submerged biofilm process. In the organic loading rate (4.3kg BOD/$m^{3} \cdot day$), biofilm thickness (420-780$\mu$m) and attached biomass(1.79-2.94mg/cm$^{2}$) increased as the aeration intensity increased (2-8m$^{3}$ air/$m^{2} \cdot hr$), but biofilm density decreased (42.25-37.69mg/cm$^{3}$). The minimum aeration intensity for prevention of deposited biomass was 2m$^{3}$ air/$m^{2} \cdot hr$. The minimum dissolved oxygen of 2.5mg/l had to be maintained for improved efficiency.

The purpose of this study is to investigate on the water quality of the upper region of Wonchun stream located in Suwon city by chemical analysis and EROD-microbioassay methods using rat hepatoma cell line H4IIE. The water samples were collected at 6 sampling sites from sept. to Nov. 1999 and determined the quantitative toxic effects. Higher levels of BO $D_{5}$, CO $D_{Cr}$ and CO $D_{Mn}$ were determined at M6 site where the influent contains domestic and industrial wastewater. EROD activity of water samples was ranged from 3.43$\pm$0.08 to 9.05$\pm$0.10 pmol/mg protein/min. High correlation with EROD activities and COD values was observed. From the results, the upper region of Wonchun stream water area was presumed to be highly polluted with various persistent organic chemicals.s.

A batch-type study was conducted to investigate the phosphorus release and uptake under anaerobic and aerobic conditions according to organic loading changes. As organic loading increased, anaerobic P release increased but aerobic P uptake decreased. Where organic carbon contents remain high in aerobic conditions, PHB consumption within the microbial cells diminished, therefore it was found that in order to enhance P uptake rate, it should reach the endogenous growth stage where the entire organic loading was consumed.

A bench-scale continuous activated sludge system was operated in order to study the effects of solid waste landfill leachate on municipal wastewater treatment. The leachate sample was collected from Nanjido landfill. During the 7 weeks of operational period, the leachate content in the influent fed to the system was increased stepwise from 3% to 5% and 7%. The solids retention time was the major process control parameter, and it was 10 days. With the municipal wastewater alone, COD removal was 75%. The removal percents, however, decreased to 60% and 45% when the leachate content was 3% and 7%, respectively. For the wastewater spiked with the leachate, the sludge production was higher than for the municipal wastewater alone. Sludge settleability determined by SVI deteriorated with the increase of leachate content. The specific oxygen uptake rate, however, was measured higher as leachate content increased.

To investigate bioassay for toxic level evaluation of wastewater, toxic levels were checked influents and effluents of 6 wastewater discharge facilities with Daphnia magna and Vibrio fischeri. In view of test duration, D. magna is preferred at 48 hours. And it was judged to efficient that one of the two was choosen for toxicity test method (Daphnia test and Vibrio test). Analysis data for wastewater is average toxic level for influent more higher than effluent. And effluent toxic level is sharp decrease than effluents.

The facility of constructed wet land combined with filter media was examined in order to improve the water quality of a polluted stream, which has been performed as a part of national projects. Throughout 2 years of operation for a stream, it can provide the design and operating parameters for the purpose of future construction. The influent flow rate was about 50% against the design capacity. The removal efficiencies of BOD, $COD_{Mn}$, SS, T-N and T-P were 62.9%, 47.1%, 74.8%, 22.4% and 33.5%, respectively. In order to keep this facility stable, the removal of surface filter media and supplement should be periodically conducted. In addition, the proper selection of sites is recommended not to be flooded.

Enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) behavior and microbial characteristics in the anaerobic-aerobic SBR (PAO SBR) and the anaerobic-anoxic SBR (DPAO SBR) were examined in this research. For 392 days of operation, both SBRs have exhibited a good EBPR (or denitrifying EBPR) performance. $P_{release}/P_{influent}$ ratio was highest in both reactors after the stabilization, while the efficiency of phosphorus removal was decreased since the sludge granulation has been visually observed within the reactor. The comparative analysis of Pyrosequencing-based microbial population between PAO and DPAO sludges showed indirectly that Dechloromonas spp. could utilize $O_2$ and $NO_3{^-}-N$ as an electron acceptor and Accumulibacter phosphatis use only $O_2$ in EBPR system. Also, we concluded that Thauera spp. as a denitrifier contribute significantly to the anoxic phosphorus removal in the DPAO system.
