먹는샘물 제조업체의 경우 주기적인 환경영향조사, 일취수량 제한, 그리고 취수량 및 수위, 수질(pH, EC, 온도)을 1시간 간격으로 계측하여 매월 보고하고, 정기 수질검사 등을 통해 엄격히 관리하고 있어 과잉 취수로 인한 지하수위 강하와 같은 문제가 발생하는 사례가 적으나 제조업체 주변 지하수관련 민원의 원인 제공자로 각인되고 있는 실정이다. 그러므로 환경영향조사의 물수지 분석 시 수문분야 전문가들의 평가에 부합하고, 비전문가에게도 쉽게 접근할 수 있는 기법의 제시가 필요하다고 판단된다. 따라서 샘물 취수정이 위치한 소유역의 지표수 수위 및 유출량을 측정하고 상시하천의 월별 기저유출량을 분리하였다. 또한 동일 유역의 지하수(취수정), 지표수, 강수의 산소, 수소 동위원소를 분석하여 지하수와 지표수의 함양특성에 관하여 추정하였다.

The effects of energy-yielding substrates on coronary circulation, myocardial oxygen metabolism, and intramyocytic adenylates of perfused Wistar control rat(WC) and spontaneously hypertensive rat(SHR) hearts were examined under basal and $\beta$-adrenergic stimulation conditions. The perfusion medium (1.0mM Ca2+) contained 5mM glucose (+5U/l insulin) in combination with 5mM pyruvate, 5mM lacate, 5mM acetate, or 5mM octanoate as energy substrates. Hearts were perfused with each substrate buffer for 20min under basal conditions. Coronary functinal hyperemia was induced by infusing for 20min isoproterenol (ISO, 1uM), a $\beta$-receptor agonist. Cardiac adenylates, glycolytic intermediates, and coronary venous lactate were measured by using an enzymatic analysis technique. Under basal conditions, acetate and octanoate significantly increased coronary flow(CF) of WC in parallel with myocardial oxygen consumption. However, CF of SHR was partly attenuated by coronary vasoconstriction despite metabolic acidosis. In addition, pyruvate and lactate depressd ISO-induced coronary functional hyperemia in SHR. It should be noted that octanoate exhibited coronary dysfunction under ISO conditions. On the other hand, fat substrates depleted myocardial high energy phosphate pool and accumulated breakdown intermediates. In SHR with coronary vasoconstriction under basal conditions, and with depressed coronary functional hyperemia, high energy phosphates were greatly depleted. These results suggest that energy substrates in the myocardium and coronary smooth muscle alter remarkably coronary circulation, and that coronary circulatory function is associated with a reserve of high energy phosphates and a balance between breakdown and nono synthesis of energy phosphates. These findings could be explained by alterations in the cytosolic redox state manipulated by LDH and hence in the cytosolic phosphorylation potential, which might be involved in hypertension of SHR.

A balance between production and degradation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is critical for maintaining cellular homeostasis. Increased levels of ROS during oxidative stress are associated with disease conditions. Antioxidant enzymes, such as extracellular superoxide dismutase (EC-SOD), in the extracellular matrix (ECM) neutralize the toxicity of superoxide. Recent studies have emphasized the importance of EC-SOD in protecting the brain, lungs, and other tissues from oxidative stress. Therefore, EC-SOD would be an excellent therapeutic drug for treatment of diseases caused by oxidative stress. We cloned both the full length (residues 1-240) and truncated (residues 19-240) forms of human EC-SOD (hEC-SOD) into the donor plasmid pFastBacHTb. After transposition, the bacmid was transfected into the Sf9-baculovirus expression system and the expressed hEC-SOD purified using FLAG-tag. Western blot analysis revealed that hEC-SOD is present both as a monomer (33 kDa) and a dimer (66 kDa), as detected by the FLAG antibody. A water-soluble tetrazolium (WST-1) assay showed that both full length and truncated hEC-SOD proteins were enzymatically active. We showed that a potent superoxide dismutase inhibitor, diethyldithiocarbamate (DDC), inhibits hEC-SOD activity.

A study was made on the primary production of Lake Changjamot during the spring season of 1973 by menas of the oxygen method. The stratification of temperature and dissolved oxygen were formed in May with the stratified structure of phytoplankton. The range of Secchi disc transparency was from 0.8m to 2.3m during the nine months of this investigation, which was begun in January, 1973. The value was lowest in early June when the phytoplankton blooming reached the peak. The concentration of PO4-P, NH3-N, NO3-N and NO3-N was reduced at the beginning of the phytoplankton blooming and increased again after May except PO4-P. It might have been caused by the inflow of the nitogenous fertilizer from the surrounding agricultural area since May when farming was started. The total amount of chlorophyll-a in the entire water column varied from 25mg/$m^2$ to 277mg/$m^2$ from January till September with the maximum value occurring in early June. These values show a considerable eutrophication of the in comparison with the data obtained in 1969. The daily gross production in the lake varied from a low of 655mgC/$m^2$ to a high of 2,859 mgC/$m^2$ during the spring season and this corresponds to the variation of the amount of chlorophyll. The total amount of daily respiration varied from 650mg C/$m^2$ in winter to 2,307 mg C/$m^2$ in late spring and exceeds gross primary production especially in late May showing the negative balance of daily production and consumption of organic material at that time. In conclusion, Lake Changjamot is a fairly productive and a moderately autotrophic lake and has been eutrophicated much during the past four years.

Effects of operating variables on temperature profile and performance of 3 MWth chemical looping combustion system were estimated by mass and energy balance analysis based on configuration and dimension of the system determined by design tool. Air reactor gas velocity, fuel reactor gas velocity, solid circulation rate, and solid input percentage to fluidized bed heat exchanger were considered as representative operating variables. Overall heat output and oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas from the air reactor increased but temperature difference decreased as air reactor gas velocity increased. Overall heat output, required solid circulation rate, and temperature difference increased as fuel reactor gas velocity increased. However, overall heat output and temperature difference decreased as solid circulation rate increased. Temperature difference decreased as solid circulation rate through the fluidized bed heat exchanger increased. Effect of each variables on temperature profile and performance can be determined and these results will be helpful to determine operating range of each variable.

본 연구에서는 탄소 균형 및 1차식에 의한 공연비 산정방법을 대체연료에 적용하여 그 결과를 비교하였다. 이전의 연구에서는 Eltinge 차트의 확장, 미연탄화수소의 보상 및 다양한 방법으로부터 계산한 결과를 비교하였다. 또한 Eltinge 방법은 현재 공연비를 산정하는 방법 중 가장 일반적인 식이라는 것을 확인하였다. 그러나 최근 지구온난화 방지를 포함하여 환경 보호와 에너지보존에 대한 요구가 증가하면서 내연기관에 대체연료를 사용이 도입되기 시작하면서 이러한 대체연료들에 대한 공연비의 정확한 산정이 필요하게 되었다. 특히, 산소를 포함하는 연료에서는 Eltigne방법을 제외하고 모든 공연비 산정법들이 다시 유도되어야한다. 이 연구에서는 이미 그 정확성이 확인된 탄소균형식을 이용하여 대체연료의 공연비를 산정하기 위해 다시 유도하였고, 각 대체 연료에 실제로 적용이 가능한 1차식을 새로이 제시하였다. 평가 결과, 탄소균형식으로 계산한 공연비는 가솔린 연료와 비교하여 다소 오차가 증가하였지만, 그 정확도는 다양한 대체 연료들에 적용하기에 충분하다는 결론을 얻었다. 또한, 제시된 1차식은 $\lambda=1.2$이하에서는 그 정확도가 매우 높았다.

Fuel cells are devices that convert chemical energy directly into electrical energy. Owing to the high efficiency of the fuel cells, a large number of research work have been done during these years. Among many kinds of the fuel cells, a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell is such kind of thing which works under low temperature. Because of the specialty, it stimulated intense global R&D competition. Most of the major world automakers are racing to develop polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell passenger vehicles. Unfortunately, there are still many problems to be solved in order to make them into the commercial use, such as the thermal and water management in working process of PEMFCs. To solve the difficulites facing the researcher, the analysis of the inner mechanism of PEMFC should be implemented as much as possible and mathematical modeling is an important tool for the research of the fuel cell especially with the combination of experiment. By regarding some of the assumptions and simplifications, using the finite element technique, a two-dimensional electrochemical mode is presented in this paper for the further comparison with experimental data. Based on the principals of the problem, the equations of electronic charge conservation equation, gas-phase continuity equation, and mass balance equation are used in calculating. Finally, modeling results indicate some of the phenomenon in a unit cell, and the relationships between potential and current density.

Organics may be divided into biodegradable and nonbiodegradable fractions on the basis of biodegradability. Biodegradable organics may be subdivided into readily and slowly biodegradable fractions. As this biodegradability of organics in municipal wastewater has a great influence on the efficiency of a biological nutrient removal process, it has been assessed by respirometry. The respirometer, which consisted of a respiration chamber and a respiration cell, was used to measure the respiration rate of biomass utilizing the readily biodegradable organics. The readily biodegradable organics are about 10% of the COD in municipal wastewater. The adequate ratio of wastewater to sludge volume and the concentration of sludge are required in measuring the respiration rate due to the readily biodegradable organics. By using a biochemical oxygen demand test, the slowly biodegradable organics including biomass are estimated about 66% of COD. The soluble inert organics are about 11% of COD. On the basis of mass balance, the particulate inert organics are estimated about 13% of COD.

Recently, interests to remove nitrogen in the nitritation process have increased because of its economical advantages, since it could be a short-cut process to save both oxygen for nitrification and carbon for denitrification compared to a typical nitrification. However, the kinetics related with the nitritation process has not yet been fully understood. Furthermore, many useful models which have been successfully used for wastewater treatment processes cannot be used to estimate effluent nitrite concentration for evaluating performance of the nitritation process, since the process rate equations and population of microorganisms for nitrogen removal in these models have been set up only for the condition of full nitrification. Therefore, the present study was conducted to estimate an effluent nitrite concentration in the nitritation process with a concept of enzymatic inhibition kinetics based on long-term laboratory experiments. Using a nonlinear least squares regression method, kinetic parameters were accurately determined. By setting up a process rate equation along with a mass balance equation of the nitrite-oxidizing step, an effluent nitrite concentration in the nitritation process was then successfully estimated.
