This study aims to measure sedimentation status change with the changes in internal pressure for dry chemical extinguishers of various use periods and analyze the suitability of the fire extinguishers' performance criteria. When the internal pressure of the fire extinguisher is 0%, 2 out of 10 new dry chemical powders for the 5 elapsed years were noted to be suitable, including 3 recycled dry chemical powders with 5 elapsed years that were found eligible. One out of 10 new dry chemical powders for 10 elapsed years was shown as suitable. Also, one new dry chemical powder for 13 elapsed years was suitable. When the internal pressure of the fire extinguisher was 50%, all 10 out of 10 new dry chemical powders for 5 years, recycled one with 5 elapsed years, and a new one with 10 elapsed years were found to be suitable, while 9 new dry chemical powders for 13 years were shown as suitable. When the internal pressure of the fire extinguisher was normal, new ones with 5 elapsed years, recycled ones with 5 elapsed years, new ones with 10 elapsed years, and new ones with 13 elapsed years were all 10 out of 10 samples noted as suitable. In summarizing the experiment results, it was found that the sedimentation status, one of the fire extinguisher's physical properties experiments, affects the fire extinguisher's performance criteria rather than the change with use periods.

농지 개발로 인한 다량의 세립토사 유입은 타호부호수의 생태계를 악화시키고 있다. 호수 퇴적물의 물리적 특성, $^{137}Cs$, 과 화산재를 이용한 연대측정을 위해 호수 퇴적물 시료 15개를 채취하였다. 타호부호수에서 과거 300년간 토사퇴적속도를 조사한 결과, 유역에서 인위적 개발이 없는 1898년 이전 자연상태에서는 토사퇴적량이 0.1-1.1 mm $year^{-1}$였고, 인위적 개발이 시작된 1898년 이후에는 0.6-12.8 mm $year^{-1}$로 급격하게 증가하였다. 즉, 산림벌채, 하천공사와 농지개발 이후 토사퇴적량은 자연상태보다 6-12배 증가하여 호수의 수심이 얕아지는 현상을 가속시켰다. 1898년부터 1963년 사이의 호수 토사퇴적속도는 개별 소유역으로부터 토사유입 영향에 따라 공간적인 변화가 나타났다. 특히 1898년부터 1963년 사이의 호수 남쪽부분의 토사퇴적량은 산림벌채에 의한 숯 생산과 생산된 숯을 수송하기 위한 운하공사로 인해 호수 중앙과 북쪽부분보다 많았다. 하지만 1963년 이후 남쪽부분의 토사퇴적량이 감소하고 중앙과 북쪽부분에서 토사퇴적량이 증가하여 호수 안에서 토사퇴적의 공간적 변화는 없었다. 왜냐하면 호수 남쪽부분에서 많은 양의 토사퇴적은 호수 수심을 얕게 하여 토사를 침전시키는 능력을 감소시켰기 때문으로 생각되었다. 특히 하천 출구에 위치한 지점의 토사퇴적량은 자연상태에 비해 5-32배 높았다. 그리고 쿠시로강(평상시 타호부호수는 쿠시로강으로 배수)은 홍수시 탁수가 역류하여 호수로 유입하기 때문에 토사 유입 증가에 공헌하고 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Intestinal parasitic infections remain a serious public health problem globally and have usually been associated with human malnutrition. This study was performed to observe the present status of intestinal helminthes infections among the primary school children in Iksan, Korea, during the period from June to August, 2006. A total of 974 fecal samples (male 479, female 495) were collected and examined by formalin-ether sedimentation technique for intestinal helminthes eggs. Of the 974 samples examined, 2 (0.2%) were egg positive for intestinal helminthes, and only eggs of Clonorchis sinensis were observed in the 2 cases. These C. sinensis egg were found in grade 5 (male, 1 case) and grade 6 (female, 1 case), respectively. The egg positive rate of male and female were 0.2%, respectively. Through this survey, I found that the C. sinensis infection is prevalent among primary school children in Iksan, Jeonbuk, and a continuous health education for school children is recommended to prevent the potential infection of C. sinensis.

지난 20여년간 다양한 공사가 시행된 금강하구에서 퇴적으로 인한 수로매몰을 분석하기 위하여 1988년부터 2000년까지 매 2년 간격으로 7가지 경우에 대해 단계별로 수치수동역학모형을 적용한 후측실험이 실시되어 바닥마찰응력의 변화와 상관된 퇴적율 평가가 실시되었다. 금강하구둑 건설로 최대마찰응력장이 약 $1-2N/m^2$ 에서 $0.2-0.6N/m^2$크게 줄어들고, 특히 1994년 금강하구둑의 수문 폐쇄 이후에 장항수로에서는 해저마찰응력이 한계마찰응력으로 제시된 $0.4N/m^2$ 이하로 급감하면서 퇴적환경으로 전이되고 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 하구둑건설은 금강 상류로 전파되는 조석에너지를 차단함으로써 조석수동역학의 급격한 변화를 초래하고 하구둑 전면에 퇴적환경이 급속도로 진행되는 직접적인 원인을 제공하고 있는 것으로 추론되었다. 소형어선의 통행지장을 겪는 장항수로의 매몰평가는 평균대조 조석을 적용하여 분석한 결과 기존에 비해 20% 이상 통행지장을 받는 것으로 평가되었다.

One of the major problems associated with operation of domestic sewer lines involves hydraulic problems such as insufficient conveyance capacity, exceeding maximum velocity, and deficiency of minimum velocity. It has also been pointed out that influent concentration lower than design concentration of pollutants, which is mainly caused by unidentified inflow and infiltration, degrades the operational efficiency of many sewage treatment plants (STPs). A computer-added analysis method supporting a coupled simulation of sewage quality and quantity is essentially required to evaluate the status of existing STPs and to improve their efficiency by a proper sewer rehabilitation work. In this study, dynamic water quality simulations were conducted using MOUSE TRAP to investigate the principal parameters that governs the changes of BOD, ${NH_4}^+$, and ${PO_4}^{3-}$3- concentrations within the sewer networks based on data acquired through on-site and laboratory measurements. The BOD, ${NH_4}^+$ and ${PO_4}^{3-}$3- concentrations estimated by MOUSE TRAP was lower than theoretical pollution loads because of sedimentation and decomposition in the sewer. The results revealed that sedimentation is a most important factor than other biological reactions in decreasing pollutant load in the sewers of C-city. The sensitivity analysis of parameters pertaining to water quality changes indicated that the effect of the BOD decay rate, the initial DO concentration, the half-saturation coefficient of dissolved BOD, and the initial sediment depth is marginal. However, the influence of settling rate and temperature is relatively high because sedimentation and precipitation, rather than biological degradation, are dominant processes that affect water quality in the study sewer systems.

Objectives: The study aimed to determine changes in laboratory data for cancer patients receiving Korean medicine (KM) care, with a focus on patients' functional status, cancer-coagulation factors and cancer immunity. Methods: We conducted an observational study of various cancer patients in all stages admitted to the East-West Cancer Center (EWCC), Dunsan Korean Hospital of Daejeon University, from Mar. 2011 to Aug. 2011. All patients were under the center's multi-modality Korean-medicine-based inpatient cancer care program. The hospitalization stay at EWCC ranged from 9 to 34 days. A total of 80 patients were followed in their routine hematologic laboratory screenings performed before and after hospitalization. Patients were divided into three groups depending on the status of their treatment: prevention of recurrence and metastasis group, KM treatment only group, and combination of conventional and KM treatment group. The lab reports included natural killer cell count (CD16 + CD56), fibrinogen, white blood cell (WBC), lymphocytes, monocytes, neutrophil, red blood cell (RBC), hemoglobin, platelet, Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR), and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status. Results: With a Focus on patients' functional status, cancer-coagulation factors and cancer immunity, emphasis was placed on the NK cell count, fibrinogen count, and ECOG scores. Data generally revealed decreased fibrinogen count, fluctuating NK cell count and decreased ECOG, meaning improved performance status in all groups. The KM treatment only group showed the largest decrease in mean fibrinogen count and the largest increase in mean NK cell count. However, the group's ECOG score showed the smallest decrease, which may be due to the concentration of late-cancer-stage patients in that particular group. Conclusions: Multi-modality KM inpatient care may have positive effect on lowering the cancer coagulation factor fibrinogen, but its correlation with the change in the NK cell count is not clear.

An improving example for traditional rapid mix system was studied in the base of mechanisms of alum coagulation. Local status of the major water treatment plants was also investigated and evaluated for upgrading these plants. A new design and operating criterium for rapid mix system was proposed to velocity gradient, G of $1,000-1,500sec^{-1}$ and detention time, t of 1 sec from the results of experiments and literature reviews. Comparing the present rapid mix system to this criterium, apparent difference existed between them. In this study, for improving Seongnam water treatment plant, a design criterium of velocity gradient, and detention time was set to $1,100sec^{-1}$, 1 sec, respectively. A new rapid mix system adopted the nozzle injection countcurrently cross the inlet pipe to the whole area. The injection velocity was 17m/s, nozzle diameter was 1.0mm, and number of nozzle was 70. The new modified system without running present four 75 HP agitators was able to improve water quality(based on sedimentation effluent) by 15-35% and to reduce electrical energy by 98%.

An analysis of the current water leak status of understand structure (underground parking lots, staircases, plumbing systems, water reservoirs, etc.) of multi-family housing in South Korea shows that water leaks are found from cracks in all areas of the underground structure caused by the degradation environment (water pressure by underground water, humidity, temperature, earth pressure, soil behaviour and vibration, etc.), which result in various problems, including mold, malodour, debonding of finishing materials, exfoliation, breakout, water leaks in electrical boxes, efflorescence, sedimentation of calcium hydroxide, decoloration, rusting, damages and pollution among others. Therefore, this study aims to analyse the current status of water leaks in underground structure and use the results as the basic data for developing a standard guideline for water leaks and maintenance by parts of the underground structure of multi-family housing.
