In order to evaluate the grouting effects of water-rich fault in tunnels systematically, a feasible and scientific method is introduced based on the extension theory. First, eight main influencing factors are chosen as evaluation indexes by analyzing the changes of permeability, mechanical properties and deformation of surrounding rocks. The model of evaluating grouting effects based on the extension theory is established following this. According to four quality grades of grouting effects, normalization of evaluation indexes is carried out, aiming to meet the requirement of extension theory on data format. The index weight is allocated by adopting the entropy method. Finally, the model is applied to the grouting effects evaluation in water-rich fault F4-4 of Qingdao Jiaozhou Bay Subsea Tunnel, China. The evaluation results are in good agreement with the test results on the site, which shows that the evaluation model is feasible in this field, providing a powerful tool for systematically evaluating the grouting effects of water-rich fault in tunnels.

This study was undertaken to prolonging the freshness in Squid(Todarodes pacificus) on the effects of ice storage methods(tap water ice, electrolytic water ice) using stainless diaphragm electrolytic instrument and also test an efficiency of instrument. Basically, stainless diaphragm electrolytic instrument studied for changes of pH on difference water flow and ampere. The lower water flower and higher ampere made low pH on acid part of electrolytic instrument. Squid samples were stored in tap water ice, acid part of electrolytic water and base part of electrolytic water and used in studying the changes of VBN and skin color through storage. Acid water had strong sterilization effects and VBN was lower levels of acid water than the others. Base water had not sterilization effects. Tap water ice storage was more sterilizing effects than base water ice storage but less effects than acid water ice storage. Lightness of Squid skin showed getting decrease at storage of ice water of all storage methods but acid water ice storage showed more retarding than the other two storage. From these results, it could be suggested that acid electric water ice storage is effective in extendance the shelf-life of squid at chilled storage.

We studied to know the anti-inflammation effect on water extracts of Lophatheri Herba which was growing in every places in our country. We objected free radical scanvenger effect and nitrite eliminate effect of the Lophatheri Herba water extracts, and the cell viabillity, the effects of Lophatheri Herba water extracts on NO production, iNOS synthesis induced by LPS. Free radical scavenger effects were $27.91{\pm}0.12%$, $38.96{\pm}0.10%$, $46.22{\pm}0.15%$ depend on 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 mg/ml each dose of Lophatheri Herba water extracts. Nitrite eliminate effects were $9.86{\pm}0.3%$, $80.61{\pm}0.23%$, $97.62{\pm}0.56%$ in 0.1, 1.0, 2.0 mg/ml Lophatheri Herba water extracts on pH 1.2. NO production and iNOS synthesis induced by LPS were reduced in RAW 264.7 cell by Lophatheri Herba water extracts. As the above results, Lophatheri Herba water extracts have anti-inflammation effects via NO production decrease, iNOS synthesis decrease mechanism. So Lophatheri Herba water extracts will be used as the protection or treatment in chronic inflammation desease like a asthma, stomatitis etc.

Background: The popularity of the water pipe, also referred to as hookah, narghile, shisha or hubble-bubble, has increased tremendously during the past few decades. This study was conducted to determine student water pipe smoking status and perceptions about the effects of water pipe smoking on health in a state university in Ankara. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted between September 2014 and January 2015. The data were collected with a questionnaire and "The Scale of Perception about the Effects of Water Pipe Smoking on Health". The data obtained were evaluated in IBM SPSS (version 20.0) statistical package program in computer. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used for the analyses by checking homogeneity of variances and Student's t-test. Values of p<0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: The total mean score obtained by young people who took part in the study was determined as ($\bar{X}=65.20{\pm}1.25$, min=33, max=75). Upon comparison of the total mean scores obtained by young people from the Scale of Perception about the effects of water pipe smoking on health and gender variable, the scores obtained by the females students were higher than those of the male students with a statistically significant difference (t=7.525, p<0.05). A statistically significant difference was observed between the total mean scores obtained by young people with cigarette and water pipe smoking status (for each, t=-3.731, p<0.05; t=-13.987, p<0.05). Conclusions: In conclusion, university students have wrong knowledge on the dangers of water pipe smoking. There was a high prevalence of using water pipes among university students. Gender significantly affected the perceptions about the effect of water pipe smoking on health in our sample.

This study was designed to investigate the effects of Korean Lycii Fructus water extract in Pb-administered rats. The Pb exposed rats were given 100 ppm and 200 ppm in the distilled water. Sixty male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing between 90 and 110g were blocked into 6 groups according to body weight. The control group was fed a normal diet, without lead. The experimental groups, which was fed a normal diet plus 100 ppm and 200 ppm lead, and one group received a normal diet plus Lycii Fructus water extracts. The results: the Food intake, the weight gain, and the kidney weight content in the cadmium added groups were lower than those in the Lycii Fructus water extracts group. The contents of Pb in the kidneys of the rats were determined by using ICP(lnductively Coupled Plasma Spectrophotometer). The accumulation of lead in the kidney was lower in the Lycii Fructus water extracts group. The Plasma levels of renin activity was higher in the lead administration groups, as compared with the Lycii Fructus water extracts. Plasma levels of aldosterone activity was higher in the lead administration group, as compared with Lycii Fructus water extracts. These results suggest that Lycii Fructus water extracts has a lowering effects on the accumulation of pb on kidney and it is believed that the Lycii Fructus water extracts have some protective effects on lead-induced nephrotoxicity in rats, but the mechanism of these effects was obscure.

Increase in Earth's surface temperature, higher rainfall intensity rate, and rapid changes in land cover are just some of the most evident effects of climate change. Flooding, and river sedimentation are two inevitable natural processes in our environment, and both issues poses great risks in the dam industry when not addressed properly. River sedimentation is a significant issue that causes reservoir deposition, and thus causes the dam to gradually lose its ability to store water. In this study, the long-term effects of climate change on the sediment discharge in Yongdam Dam watershed is analyzed through the utilization of SWAT, a semi-distributed watershed model. Based from the results of this study, an abrupt increase on the annual sediment inflow trend in Yongdam Dam watershed was observed; which may suggests that due to the effects of climate change, higher rainfall intensity, land use and land cover changes, the sedimentation rate also increased. An efficient sedimentation management should consider the increasing trend in sedimentation rate due to the effects of climate change.

The effects of operational conditions of cooling water system on energy consumption for central cooling system are researched by using TRNSYS program. Cooling tower water pump flow rate, cooling tower fan flow rate, and condenser water temperature with various dry-bulb and wet-bulb temperatures are varied and their effects on total and component power consumption are studied. If the fan maximum flow rates of cooling tower is decreased, cooling tower fan and total power consumptions are increased. If the cooling tower water pump maximum flow rates is decreased, chiller and total power consumptions are increased. If condenser water set-point temperature is increased, chiller power consumption is increased and cooling tower fan power consumption is decreased, respectively.

It is desirable to reduce the amounts of fresh water and reuse the recycled water in papermaking process. In an attempt to improve the efficiency of recycling water refining treatment and to enhance the productivity of OCC recycling mill, up flow anaerobic sludge blanket(UASB) reactor was developed and introduced to Korea recently. In order to maximize the operating efficiency and minimize the adverse side effects it is imperative to estimate and evaluate the total effects of new system, UASB on the whole OCC recycling process. This study was carried out with a view to investigate the effects of the high temperature and alkalinity of process water on the quality ad productivity of testliner of OCC recycling mill which is equipped with UASB reactor and almost closed. Another object of this study was searching for the best available use of UASB treated process water. The results were as follows; Reuse of UASB treated water characterized with high temp and alkalinity was useful to improve the strength and drainage properties of recycled OCC owing to its good points of promoting OCC disintegration and reducing the calcium hardness of process water. However, it might not be avoidable to induce the increase of dissolved solids in process water in accordance with direct introducing of UASB treated water into the former stage of OCC stock preparation. So it would be advisable to adopt the UASB treated water in the stage of clean, screened OCC stock.
