Objectives: Carbon nanotubes are an important new class of technological materials that have numerous novel and useful properties. Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), which is a nanomaterial, is now in mass production because of its excellent mechanical and electrical properties. Although MWCNTs appear to have great industrial and medical potential, there is little information regarding their toxicological effects on researchers and workers who could be exposed to them by inhalation during the handling of MWCNTs. Methods: The generation of an untangled MWCNT aerosol with a consistent concentration without using surfactants that was designed to be tested in in vivo inhalation toxicity testing was attempted. To do this, MWCNTs were dispersed in deionized water without the addition of any surfactant. To facilitate the dispersion of MWCNTs in deionized water, the water was heated to $40^{\circ}C$, $60^{\circ}C$, and $80^{\circ}C$ depending on the sample with ultrasonic sonication. Then the dispersed MWCNTs were atomized to generate the MWCNT aerosol. After aerosolization of the MWCNTs, the shapes of the NTs were examined by transmission electron microscopy. Results: The aerosolized MWCNTs exhibited an untangled shape and the MWCNT generation rate was about 50 $mg/m^3$. Conclusion: Our method provided sufficient concentration and dispersion of MWNCTs to be used for inhalation toxicity testing.

Acyclovir (ACV) is one of the most effective and selective agents against viruses of the herpes group. Because of low solubility, bioavailability of ACV has shown below 30% with oral dosage form. In our previous study, we reported that the fabrication of solid dispersion of ACV was possible and the solid dispersion of ACV and PVP was the most useful in all samples. In this study, we examined the effect of mixture ratio of polymers (PEG and PVP) to ACV. Solubility of ACV was dramatically increased up to 25 mg/ml in $80^{\circ}C$ distilled water. So water was used as a solvent to eliminate problem of residual solvent. Spray drying method was used for the solid dispersion of ACV as solvent extraction. Different scanning calorimeter was used to check degradation of drug. Polymer carriers were PEG 6,000 and PVP. In summary, ACV-PVP (1:3) showed the best solubility in distilled water.

A three-dimensional numerical model using POM (the Princeton Ocean Model) is established in order to understand the dispersion processes of the Yangtze River water in the Yellow and East China Seas. The circulation experiments for the seas are conducted first, and then on the bases of the results the dispersion experiments for the river water are executed. For the experiments, we focus on the tide effects and wind effects on the processes. Four cases of systematic experiments are conducted. They comprise the followings: a reference case with no tide and no wind, of tide only, of wind only, and of both tide and wind. Throughout this study, monthly mean values are used for the Kuroshio Current input in the southern boundary of the model domain, for the transport through the Korea Strait, for the river discharge, for the sea surface wind, and for the heat exchange rate across the air-sea interface. From the experiments, we obtained the following results. The circulation of the seas in winter is dependent on the very strong monsoon wind as several previous studies reported. The wintertime dispersion of the Yangtze River water follows the circulation pattern flowing southward along the east coast of China due to the strong monsoon wind. Some observed salinity distributions support these calculation results. In summertime, generally, low-salinity water from the river tends to spread southward and eastward as a result of energetic vertical mixing processes due to the strong tidal current, and to spread more eastward due to the southerly wind. The tide effect for the circulation and dispersion of the river water near the river mouth is a dominant factor, but the southerly wind is still also a considerable factor. Due to both effects, two major flow directions appear near the river mouth. One of them is a northern branch flow in the northeast area of the river mouth moving eastward mainly due to the weakened southerly wind. The other is a southern branch flow directed toward the southeastern area off the river mouth mostly caused by tide and wind effects. In this case, however, the tide effect is more dominant than the wind effect. The distribution of the low salinity water follows the circulation pattern fairly well.

토양의 입단은 토양의 물리적 구조를 형성함에 있어서 매우 중요한 특성이며 토양의 양분 및 수분의 이동 및 토양관리방법 등과 매우 밀접한 연관이 있다. 그러나 토양의 입단과 토양특성에 대한 상호관계에 관한 연구가 매우 미흡하다. 본 연구에서는 토양의 내수성 입단과 토양 물리화학적 특성관계를 구명하고자 토양의 토양물리 화학성과 함께 내수성 입단을 측정하여 상관관계를 분석한 결과, 토양의 내수성 토양입단형성에 미치는 토양물리성 입자 중 미사($r=0.82^{***}$)와 점토($r=0.75^{***}$) 함량은 유의성이 있는 정의 상관을 보였으며, 모래($r=-0.82^{***}$)는 유의성 있는 부의 상관을 나타내었다. 토양화학적 특성은 Ca > Mg > CEC > OM > K > Al 순으로 내수성 토양입단 함량과 통계적으로 유의한 상관성을 나타내었다. Middleton의 분산율 (0.05mm 이하)과 내수성 토양입단함량과는 통계적으로 유의한 상관 ($r=-0.76^{***}$)을 나타내었다. 내수성 입단 함량 추정을 위한 Middleton의 분산율의 유의한 회귀모형이 산출되었다 (Y=-0.79X+96.49; $r^2=0.58^{**}$). 결론적으로, Middleton의 분산율을 이용하여 토양의 내수성 토양 입단함량을 간편하고 빠르게 측정할 수 있었다.

하이드록시프로필 셀룰로오스와 암모니움 퍼설페이트를 각각 입자 안정제와 개시제로 사용하여 에틸 알코올/물 혼합 분산매에서 아크릴아미드의 분산 중합을 다양한 중합 조건하에서 수행하여 생성되는 poly(acrylamide) (PAM) 라텍스의 평균 입자경, 라텍스 고분자의 점도 평균 분자량, 수용화 정도 등을 관찰하였다. 일반적으로 PAM 라텍스의 평균 입자경은 개시제의 농도, 분산매 중의 물의 농도, 중합 온도가 증가함에 따라 증가하였으나 단량체의 농도, 입자 안정제의 농도는 감소함에 따라 증가하였다. 라텍스 상태로 얻어진 PAM 고분자의 점도 평균 분자량은 단량체의 농도, 입자 안정제의 농도, 분산매 중 물의 농도가 증가함에 따라, 또는 개시제의 농도, 중합 온도가 감소함에 따라 증가하였다. 본 연구에서 얻어진 PAM 라텍스는 0.5~2.4 $\mu\textrm{m}$의 평균 입자경과 20000~335000g/㏖의 점도 평균 분자량을 나타내었으며 이들은 물중에 분산하였을 때 순간적으로 수용화되었다.

Water-based magnetic fluids were made of the synthesized ultrafine magnetite with surfactants such as sodium oleate and loeic acid. The water-based magnetic fluid was prepared under the condition that added amounts of sodium oleate and oleic acid dissolved with NH4OH were 2.64$\times$10-2 mol, 1.5~2.0$\times$10-2 mol respectively. The water-based magnetic fluid was stable and should be dispersed well dispersion in the range of pH 9.0 to pH 11.0. As the solid content increased from 0.05 g/cc to 0.4 g/cc, the viscosity of water-based magnetic fluids increased from 2.5 cP to 152 cP and their magnetization at 5 KOe linearly increased from 3.1 emu/g to 26 emu/g. The aggregated powder after drying the water-based magnetic fluid was also successfully re-dispersed in dilute NH4OH solution and in kerosene.

본 연구의 목적은 하천에서 흐름방향 유속의 횡분포식에 기반하여 1차원 종분산계수를 이론적으로 유도하고 이들의 타당성을 검증하는 것이다. 이를 위해 본 논문의 전편 "I. 흐름방향 유속의 횡포식"에서는 SKM을 도입하여 삼각형 단면수로에서 횡분포식을 해석적으로 유도하였다. 본 논문의 후편 "II. 종분산계수"에서는 전편에서 유도된 유속의 횡분포식을 기반으로 1차원 종분산계수 이론식을 새롭게 개발하였다. 개발된 종분산계수 이론식을 검증하기 위해 전편과 동일한 하천에서 수행된 추적자 농도 실험 결과를 이용한 관측 종분산계수와 비교 분석하였다. 또한 개발된 종분산 계수식을 기존의 식들과 비교하여 본 연구에서 개발된 식의 차별점 및 우수성을 검토하였다. 결과적으로 무차원 종분산계수는 무차원 횡확산계수에 반비례하고, 하폭 대 수심비의 제곱에 비례하였다. 그리고 Manning의 조도계수의 제곱에 반비례함을 확인할 수 있었다.

The dispersion of surface oil is generally described as a break-up of oil slick into small oil droplets. These small droplets are subjected to turbulence and vertical circulation so that it can be entrained into subsurface. Sometimes they tend to be submerged into sea bottom permanently. The diameter of oil droplets is a critical parameter to determine their behavioral characteristics under water surface. At the same time the variations of droplet stability depends on the weathering of it. That is why the weathered oil has different mechanism from the unweathered one. The variability of physical properties of oil including viscosity and density contribute to interfere with effective separation of oil and emulsion droplets in water. Also in the presence of interactions among the droplets there are coalescing or coagulating effects on the dispersion process of droplets.
