  • 국내에는 약 18,000여개의 댐이 있는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 이 중에서 대댐으로 분류되는 1,200여개의 대댐은 비교적 양호하게 운영 관리되고 있으나, 지자체 등에서 관리하는 소규모의 댐들은 대부분 제체를 관통하는 복통을 갖고 있으며, 제도적 장치의 미비와 전문 인력의 부족으로 체계적인 유지관리가 거의 이루어지지 않고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 소규모 댐들에서 자주 발생하는 결함의 유형에 대해서 고찰하고, 결함의 보수보강을 통하여 소규모 댐의 안전을 확보할 수 있는 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 또한, 전기비저항 탐사를 통하여 결함의 진행정도를 파악하고, 보수보강 이후의 보수보강 효과를 판정하는 방법론을 제시하고자 하였다.

  • The numerical simulations were conducted to investigate the thermal-fluid phenomena occurred inside the experimental apparatus during a PCCS, used to remove heat released in accidents from a containment of light water nuclear power plant, operation. Numerical simulations of the flow and heat transfer caused by wall condensation inside the containment simulation vessel (CSV), which equipped with 18 vertical heat exchanger tubes, were conducted using the commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software ANSYS-CFX. Shear stress transport (SST) and the wall condensation model were used for turbulence closure and wall condensation, respectively. The simulation using the actual size of the apparatus. However, rather than simulating the whole experimental apparatus in consideration of the experimental cases, calculation resources, and calculation time, the simulation model was prepared only in CSV. Selective simulation was conducted to verify the effects of non-condensable gas(NC gas) concentration, CSV internal pressure, and wall sub-cooling conditions. First, as a result of the internal flow of CSV, it was observed that downward flow due to condensation occurred surface of the vertical tube and upward flow occurred in the distant place. Natural convection occurred actively around the heat exchanger tube. Due to this rising and falling internal flow, natural circulation occurred actively around the heat exchanger tubes. Next, in order to check the performance of built-in condensation model using according to the non-condensable gas concentration, CSV internal flow and wall sub-cooling, the heat flux values were compared with the experimental results. On average, the results were underestimated with and error of about 25%. In addition, the influence of CSV internal pressure and wall sub-cooling was small, but when the condensate was highly generated due to the low non-condensable gas concentration, the error was large compared to the experimental values. This is considered to be due to the nature of the condensation model of the CFX code. However, in spite of the limitations of CFD, it is valid to use the built-in condensation model of CFD for PCCS performance prediction from a conservative perspective.

  • Blind hydraulic backfilling is a commonly used technique for subsidence control of the strata over unapproachable waterlogged underground excavations. In this investigation model studies on all the three variants of this technique, namely, hydro-pneumatic or air-assisted gravity backfilling, pumped-slurry backfilling and simple gravity backfilling, have been carried out in fully transparent models of the underground excavations. On examination of the filling process, it was revealed that in all the three cases, the basic process of filling occurs by sand transport along one or more meandering channels. The relative influence of sand, water and air flow rates on the area of filling from a single inlet point and the hydraulic pressure loss per unit length were studied in details. In hydro-pneumatic backfilling process, the air bubbles while moving upward through the meandering channels provide an additional buoyant force over and above the available hydraulic head. In this way the area of filling from a single borehole may be quite large even at small flow rates of water. During actual field implementation the injected air, if not released completely from the rise side holes, may cause troubles by way of creating potholes on the surface. The pumped-slurry technique has shown its capability of filling a relatively larger area at faster rate, especially when high-volume, low-pressure method was selected. But simple gravity filling was also found to be equally effective method as slurry pumping, especially when flow rates were high. In the second and third method discussed above, examination of variations of injection pressure was also done and its relation with physical phenomenon was also attempted. Some empirical relationships were also developed using multivariate regression with a view to help the practicing engineers.

  • Background: There is a long standing interest in natural compounds especially those with a high polyphenolic content and high scavenging activity for hazardous free radicals. Cornus mas (CM) fruit is well known for its antioxidant activities; however, its toxicity against human cancers needs to be addressed. Here, we investigated selective anticancer effects of CM on different human cancer cells. Materials and Methods: A hydro-alcoholic extract of CM (HECM) was prepared and total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC) were determined by colorimetric assays. Antioxidant activity was assessed with respectto DPPH radical scavenging. MTT assays were used to evaluate the cytotoxicity of different doses of CM (0, 5, 20, 100, 250, 500, $1000{\mu}g/ml$) towards A549 (lung non small cell cancer), MCF-7 (breast adenocarcinoma), SKOV3 (ovarian cancer) and PC-3 (prostate adenocarcinoma) cells. Results: Significant (P<0.05) or very significant (P<0.001) differences were observed in comparison to negative controls at all tested doses ($5-1000{\mu}g/ml$). In all cancer cells, HECM reduced the cell viability to values below 26%, even at the lowest doses. In all cases, $IC_{50}$ was obtained at doses below $5{\mu}g/ml$. The mean growth inhibition was 81.8%, 81.9%, 81.6% and 79.3% in SKOV3, MCF-7, PC-3 and A549 cells, respectively. Conclusions: Altogether, to our best knowledge, this is a first study that evaluated toxicity of a HECM with high antioxidant activity in different human cancer cells in vitro. Our results indicated that a hydro-alcoholic extract of CM possesses high potency to inhibit proliferation of different tumor cells in a dose independent manner, suggesting that an optimal biological dose is more important and relevant than a maximally tolerated one.

  • Background: Medicinal plants, especially examples rich in polyphenolic compounds, have been suggested to be chemopreventive on account of their antioxidative properties. Melissa officinalis L. (MO), an aromatic and medicinal plant, is well known in thios context. However, toxicity against cancer cells has not been fully studied. Here, we investigated the selective anticancer effects of an MO extract (MOE) in different human cancer cells. Materials and Methods: a hydro-alcoholic extract of MO was prepared and total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC) were determined by colorimetric assays. Antioxidant activity was determined by DPPH radical scavenging activity. MTT assays were used to evaluate cytotoxicity of different doses of MOE (0, 5, 20, 100, 250, 500, $1000{\mu}g/ml$) towards A549 (lung non small cell cancer cells), MCF-7 (breast adenocarcinoma), SKOV3 (ovarian cancer cells), and PC-3 (prostate adenocarcinoma) cells. Results: Significant (P<0.01) or very significant (P<0.0001) differences were observed in comparison to negative controls at all tested doses ($5-1000{\mu}g/ml$). In all cancer cells, MOE reduced the cell viability to values below 33%, even at the lowest doses. In all cases, $IC_{50}$ values were below $5{\mu}g/ml$. The mean growth inhibition was 73.1%, 86.7%, 79.9% and 77.8% in SKOV3, MCF-7 and PC-3 and A549 cells, respectively. Conclusions: Our results indicate that a hydro-alcoholic extract of MO possess a high potency to inhibit proliferation of different tumor cells in a dose independent manner, suggesting that an optimal biological dose is more important than a maximally tolerated one. Moreover, the antiprolifreative effect of MO seems to be tumor type specific, as hormone dependant cancers were more sensitive to antitumoral effects of MOE.

  • 국내 원전에서 공기 중 삼중수소 농도를 평가하기 위해 사용하는 삼중수소 버블러의 포집효율에 대하여 고찰하였다. 수증기 형태인 공기 중 삼중수소는 기포가 물을 통과하는 동안 평형농도에 도달하게 된다. 많은 양의 기체시료를 통과시킬 경우 포집수의 삼중수소 농도가 높아지고 포집수가 감소하거나 증가하는 현상이 발생하여 포집효율에 영향을 미치게 된다. 이러한 영향을 고려한 포집수의 예측농도는 실측값과 잘 맞았다. 통상적인 방식과 같이 초기 포집수량을 이용하여 삼중 수소 포집량을 평가할 경우 기체시료의 상대습도가 0.5보다 높으면 포집효율은 1보다 낮아지고 상대습도가 0.5보다 낮으면 포집효율은 1보다 높아진다. 상대습도가 0.5가 아니더라도 $\frac{포화수증기량\times기체통과량}{포집수량}$을 작게 하면 포집효율을 1에 가깝게 유지할 수 있다.

  • 장주기의 가뭄과 빈번하게 발생하는 봄철 가뭄으로 연천지역 주민의 생계 수단인 농작물의 피해가 발생하고 있다. 연천의 가뭄에 대한 정도를 분석하기 위해 강수, 하천 유량 자료를 통해서 월별 유량 비율 등을 검토하였으며, 표준 강수 지수와 하천 유출 가뭄지수를 산정하였다. 연천군 유역 인근의 강수, 유량 관측소를 활용하여 가뭄 분석을 진행한 결과 모든 가뭄지수에서 공통적으로 2014년에 발생한 가뭄이 2019년까지 크거나 작게 지속된 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 지속기간 12개월의 가뭄지수의 경우 가뭄기간이 24개월이 지속됨에 따라 가뭄으로 인한 피해가 극심했을 것으로 예상된다. 가뭄 피해를 대처하기 위해 가뭄의 현재 상태를 파악하고 예측하는 것이 중요하며 가뭄의 정도 및 지속 기간에 따른 하천, 수공 구조물 등의 통합 운영관리 전략을 수행하는 것이 시급할 것으로 판단된다.
