We present a rare case of a pituitary adenoma revealing a sedimentation level on MRI, which has not been previously documented. This 55-year-old woman was referred with the diagnosis of craniopharyngioma. She presented with four-month history of progressive headache and visual dimness. Neurological examination revealed a bitemporal hemianopsia and decreased visual acuity. Laboratory data including endocrine examination were unremarkable. An additional three-dimensional MRI was taken for further evaluation, and demonstrated a sedimentation level within the tumor. The patient underwent transcranial removal of the tumor. About 12cc of dark-red blood was aspirated from the tumor. Histological examination revealed a pituitary adenoma with hemorrhage. Postoperatively, the patient showed gradual improvement of visual function. Considering that the pituitary adenoma is one of more common tumors that cause tumoral bleeding, a cystic sellar tumor that has a sedimentation level should be sought first for a pituitary adenoma rather than a craniopharyngioma. This may have an important impact when deciding surgical approach.

This study was performed to obtain optimal conditions for reduction of color in dye wastewaters using coagulation-sedimentation processes with redox reactions. The reduction of color as well as organic matters variation was observed after coagulation-sedimentation processes using FeSO$_4$ $\cdot$ 7H$_2$O and NaOCl. Coagulation-redox reaction was done with the dose of Coagulant and oxidant at various pH values. Redox reaction was done through jar-mixing and aeration. The results of study were as follows: 1. In the coagulation-sedimentation processes using FeSO$_4$ $\cdot$ 7H$_2$O, color reduction was heigher at pH 3. With variance of dosage of FeSO$_4$ $\cdot$ 7H$_2$O, color reduction was higher at 250 mg/l. When coagulation-sedimentation using FeSO$_4$ $\cdot$ 7H$_2$O 250 mg/l was added at pH 3, the reduction of color, COD$_{Mn}$, and COD$_{Cr}$ showed 47.6%, 21.3% and 22.1%, respectively. 2. When NaOCI was added at level of 100 ppm in raw wastewater at pH 3, the reduction of color, COD$_{Mn}$, and COD$_{Cr}$ showed 30.2%, 5.5% and 6.2%, respectively. 3. After coagulation-sedimentation processes by addition of FeSO$_4$ $\cdot$ 7H$_2$O, when NaOCl was added at level of 250 mg/l in supernant, color reduction was 47.8% in aeration and 37.5% in jar-mixing. 4. Color reduction by aeration was higher than that by jar-mixing.

Sediment from the upstream channel has been deposited near the Nakdong River Estuary Barrage (NREB) due to the mild slope and decreased velocity. The annual mechanical dredging to ensure the flood capacity has been performed to remove the deposited sediment. However, the dredging method is not considered as an effective countermeasure due to high cost and long time to operate. Therefore, many methods for sedimentation reduction have been proposed for NREB. Especially, the channel contraction method to mitigate sedimentation problem by changing the channel geometry from 2 km to 3 km upstream of NREB has been recently suggested as an effective countermeasure. However, there is the possibility that the channel contraction method induces flood level increase compared to original condition. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate quantitatively the flood level changes in the upstream and downstream section due to the channel contraction method for NREB. In this study, water level changes by 10% channel contraction of whole width has been evaluated using the HEC-RAS model and simulated with and without channel contraction for various flood discharge. As a result, water level in the section where the channel was contracted was decreased by 0.02 m and flood level at the upstream of channel contracted was increased up to 0.015 m for the 500-year flood.

본 논문에서는 유기물질로 오염된 퇴적토에서 동전기 침전 및 정화 기법을 이용하여 초연약한 퇴적토의 침하를 촉진시켜 밀도를 증진시키는 연구를 수행하였다. 본 논문에서는 인체에 무해한 에틸렌글리콜 유기물질을 일반수와 적정하게 섞은 오염수에 카오리나이트 점토를 혼합하여 함수비가 높은 슬러리 상태를 조성하여 만든 오염된 퇴적토를 시료로 사용하였다. 일반적으로 동전기기법을 이용한 전기영동 및 전기삼투에 의하여 슬러리내의 고형물 입자를 음극으로 이동시키고 간극수를 양극으로 배제시킬 수 있는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 오염된 퇴적토에 대하여 고형물함량, 공급전압 및 오염농도를 변화시키면서 동전기침전 및 동전기정화 시험을 연속적으로 동시에 수행하였으며 동전기침전 및 동전기정화 공정에서 발생한 시료의 침하 및 밀도 변화에 대하여 살펴보았다. 시험결과 오염퇴적토의 침하량은 공급전압이 클수록 고형물함량 및 오염농도가 작을수록 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 오염퇴적토의 밀도는 동전기 침전단계에서는 시료의 침하에 의하여 증가하고 동전기 정화단계에서는 물보다 무거운 유기물질의 유출에 의하여 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.

Numerical model introduced in this study combines wave refraction-diffraction, breaking, bottom friction, lateral mixing, and critical shear stress and three sub-models for simulating waves, currents, and bottom change were briefly discussed. Simulations of beach processes and harbor sedimentation were also described at the coast neighboring Bangpo Harbor, Anmyundo, Chungnam, where the area has suffered from accumulation of drifting sand in a small fishing harbor with a wide tidal range. We also made model test for the case of a narrow tidal range at Nakdong river's estuary area to understand the effect of water level variation on the littoral drift. Simulations are conducted in terms of incident wave direction and tidal level. Characteristics of wave transformation, nearshore current, sediment transport, and bottom change are shown and analyzed. We found from the simulation that the tidal level impact to the sediment transport is very important and we should apply the numerical model with different water level to analyze sediment transport mechanism correctly. Although the model study gave reasonable description of beach processes and harbor sedimentation mechanism, it is necessary to collect lots of field observation data, including waves, tides and bottom materials, etc. for better prediction.

In this paper, based on evidence of coastal sediment, we show that erosion and sedimentation environments are very sensitive to sea level changes during the Medieval Warm Period (MWP) and the Little Ice Age (LIA). We identified four sedimentary units(4.57-3.07m), which formed in the Dark Age Cool Period (DACP), MWP and LIA were classified based on the lithostratigraphy, grain size distribution, magnetic susceptibility and geochemistry of a drilling core taken from the west coast of Hwaseong City. The unconformity surfaces as boundaries of the units were also identified by the lithostratigraphy shown on the drilling core. We propoese that sedimentation was dominant in the area during the periods of sea level rise, whereas erosion prevailed during the periods of sea level fall. Particularly, extreme events, such as floods and typhoons are believed to have accelerated these processes, and we found the associated evidence in sediments of two units. This study provides an example of estimating the relative sea level variation using coastal sediments and may be useful for studying past sea level changes around the Korean Peninsula.

항구 주변 하천의 퇴적현상은 하천에 위치한 항구들이 공통적으로 직면하고 있는 문제이나, 그 심각성은 퇴적 속도, 수로 모양 및 크기, 강의 유체 역학적 거동 및 항구의 중요성에 따라 달라진다. 미얀마의 가장 큰 항구인 양곤항이 위치한 양곤강의 높은 퇴적율은 경제적인 측면에서 해결이 절실한 심각한 문제이다. 높은 퇴적물 침강 속도의 결과로 나타나는 양곤강, 파젠달 크릭 및 바고강이 합류하는 지역의 얕은 수심은 양곤항으로 향하는 항로를 막을 뿐만 아니라 양곤항으로 향하는 선박의 크기도 제한한다. 미얀마의 경제발전은 양곤항을 통한 교역에 크게 의존하기 때문에 양곤강의 퇴적물 수송 문제를 해결하기 위해 이 지역의 퇴적현상을 이해하는 연구가 필요하다. 본 논문은 Bagnold(1966) 이론을 적용하여 퇴적물 수송량을 계산하고 양곤 강의 강바닥 고도 변화를 예측하는 것을 목표로 한다. 양곤 강의 우기와 건기 사이의 상하수 운송에서 큰 차이가 발견 되며, 따라서 운송 된 퇴적물이 감소하는 건기에는 침강 문제가 더 심해진다. 건기에 계산한 퇴적율에 따르면 문제가 되는 양곤항 인근 하상 상승률은 연간 약 0.063 m로, 이 지역 연간 준설량을 고려할 때 향 후 50년간 하상이 약 3.15 m 상승할 것으로 예상되며 정확한 예측을 위해 보다 정밀한 관측과 수치모델 등을 사용한 심화연구과 필요하다.

최근의 기후변화는 산지가 많은 우리나라에서 토석류를 발생시켜 하류에 많은 재난을 야기하였다. 산지에서 발생한 토석류는 퇴적과 침식을 반복하며 하류로 이동하고, 유동화된 토사-물 혼합물 형태로 나타난다. 이처럼 강한 운동성의 토석류를 해석하기 위하여 연속방정식 및 운동량 방정식을 적용하였고, 퇴적 및 침식에 관한 속도식은 세립사가 포한된 수정형을 적용하였다. 본 연구는 산지 상류부에서 발생 가능한 퇴적토사량의 변화에 대한 하류부에서의 토석류 거동을 분석한 것이다. 조립토사의 포설 길이 변화에 따른 수로 하류단에서 토사체적농도를 분석해 보면, 공급유량이 많고 포설길이가 길수록 토사농도의 고저차가 크게 나타났고, 변곡점 발생 시점도 빨라진 것을 알 수 있다. 본 연구의 결과는 급경사의 비탈사면에서의 침식 및 퇴적 가능 여부를 알 수 있는 침식-퇴적 속도를 판단하여 토석류 재해에 대한 대책을 세우는 데 좋은 정보를 제공할 것이다.

A Study on the precipitation characteristics of nickel hydroxide as well as carbonate and sulfide is carried out to determine the proper treatment condition of the wastewater induced from nickel-plating industry. The nickel concentrations in the effluent could be kept lower than 5ppm when the value of pH was maintained higher than 10. The precipitation of nickel salts by alkaline addition to the nickel containing model wastewater was conducted by using proper amount of sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate and sodium sulfide. In case of the sulfide treatment, the residual nickel concentration in the clear water after precipitates removed showed the lowest value. The influences of the precipitation condition upon the particle size of the crystals precipitated were also investigated. In spite of the various precipitation conditions were adopted, the particle size of the precipitated crystals showed no great differences. The sedimentation rates of the precipitated particle bed were observed and the free sedimentation period was terminated within 20 minutes. Although the hindered sedimentation as well as bed compaction progressed subsequently, the bed heights were maintained almost the same level after two hours of sedimentation.
