There are many engineering applications that demand settling acceleration and volume reduction of fine solid suspensions. It is a matter to Improve the dredged soil thickening as well as the dewatering characteristic, because settling acceleration of dredged soil decreases the scale of industrial process and volume reduction of dredged soil decreases environmetal challenge to the disposal sites. Direct electric current induces the movement of fine solid particles suspended in water. Upon formation of a soil structure, the current further induces the movement of water and contaminant in the soil skeleton. Theses phenomena are known as electrokinetics. This study investigates the viability, of using the technique of electrokinetic dewatering to river dredged soil for settling acceleration and volume reduction. The aspect, such as sedimentation velocity, final volume and current variation are discussed.

Hypertonicity (hypernatremia) of extracellular fluid causes water movement out of cells, while hypotonicity(hyponatremia) causes water movement into cells, resulting in cellular shrinkage or cellular swelling, respectively. In most part of the body, the osmolality of extracellular fluid is maintained within narrow range($285-295 mOsm/kgH_2O$) and some deviations from this range are not problematic in most tissue of the body except brain. On the other hand, the osmolality in the human renal medulla fluctuates between 50 and $1,200 mOsm/kgH_2O$ in the process of urine dilution and concentration. The adaptation of renal medullary cells to the wide fluctuations in extracellular tonicity is crucial for the cell survival. This review will summarize the mechanisms of urine concentration and the adaptation of renal medullary cells to the hyper tonicity, which is mediated by TonEBP transcription factor and its target gene products(UT-A1 urea transporter etc.).

The one-dimensional finite element program was developed to analyze the coupled behavior of heat, moisture, and air transfer in unsaturated porous media. By using this program, the simulation results were compared with those from the laboratory infiltration tests under isothermal condition and temperature gradient condition, respectively. The discrepancy of water uptake was found in the upper region of a bentonite sample under isothermal condition between numerical simulation and laboratory experiment. This indicated that air pressure was built up in the bentonite sample which could retard the infiltration velocity of liquid. In order to consider the swelling phenomena of compacted bentonite which cause the discrepancy of the distribution of water content and temperature, swelling and shrinkage factors were incorporated into the finite element formulation. It was found that these factors could be effective to represent the moisture diffusivity and unsaturated hydraulic conductivity due to volume change of bentonite sample.

해양경찰 소형 경비정에 주로 장착되었던 물분사(water jet type) propeller가 중대형 경비함으로 점차 확대되고 있으며, 축 형식은 2~4축, 유동을 제어하는 bucket 유형도 DRB, CSU(SRB) 방식으로 나뉘어져 있다. 그러나, W/Jet 추진기 고유의 운동 특성이 반영된 조함법의 연구가 부족한 편이다. 여기서는 함정에 장착된 W/Jet 유형별 SHS를 통하여 직접 구현해 보고, SHS 구현이 현실적으로 어려운 함정은 해양경찰 함정장들의 면담을 통하여 습득한 것을 이론적으로 구현 제시하여, 함정 조함시 지식적인 인적오류를 최소화하여 W/jet 추진기가 장착된 함정 승조원의 조함 능력 향상 및 안전운항에 기여하고자 한다.

Taken from the entrance of Juam Dam to 11km long as survey, this study predicted the bed change according to the movement of sediment in jet flow zone. The result of applying compound model and jet model turned out to be satisfactory, though the latter was the better. The jet constant of Juam Dam could be controlled between 0.5 and 0.65. In the jet flow zone of the dam, the prediction of the bed change by the numerical motel showed almost the same to the observed data.

Objective : This study was designed to investigate the correlation between Qi movement stagnation condition, stress level and xerostomia in halitosis patients. Methods : Ninety-nine halitosis patients visiting the Halitosis Clinic in the hospital of Oriental medicine, Kyung Hee University from January, 2010 to May, 2010 were recruited. The subjects were assessed on their stress levels(based on the Stress Response Inventory), xerostomia symptoms(based on the 8-item Visual Analogue Scale xerostomia questionnaire), and Qi movement stagnation(氣鬱) condition(one of the subcategories in the Qi, blood and water pattern identification(氣血水辨證)). Salivary functions were evaluated using the unstimulated whole salivary flow rate measurements. Results : Compared to the non-Qi movement stagnation group(Qi movement stagnation pattern identification score < 30), the confirmed Qi movement stagnation group(Qi movement stagnation pattern identification score $\geqq$ 30) showed higher levels of xerostomia and stress. In the regression analysis, the Qi movement stagnation condition and stress levels showed a significant correlation. Furthermore, the Qi movement stagnation condition and stress levels each displayed significant correlations with xerostomia. Conclusions : The results of this study suggest that stress and Qi movement stagnation condition contribute to xerostomia symptoms in halitosis patients. Considering the correlation found between the Qi movement stagnation and stress, this study suggests a novel methodology in treating xerostomia, halitosis, and other stress-related disorders through the Qi movement stagnation-related approach.

During an earthquake on December 29th 2020, the Krško NPP automatically shutdown due to the trigger of the negative neutron flux rate signal on the power range nuclear instrumentation. From the time course of the detector signal, it can be concluded that the fluctuation in the detector signal may have been caused by the mechanical movement of the ex-core neutron detectors or the pressure vessel components rather than the actual change in reactor power. The objective of the analysis was to evaluate the sensitivity of the neutron flux at the ex-core detector position, if the detector is moved in the radial or axial direction. In addition, the effect of the core barrel movement and core inside the baffle movement in the radial direction were analysed. The analysis is complemented by the calculation of the thermal and total neutron flux gradient in radial, axial and azimuthal directions. The Monte Carlo particle transport code MCNP was used to study the changes in the response of the ex-core detector for the above-mentioned scenarios. Power and intermediate-range detectors were analysed separately, because they are designed differently, positioned at different locations, and have different response characteristics. It was found that the movement of the power range ex-core detector has a negligible effect on the value of the thermal neutron flux in the active part of the detector. However, the radial movement of the intermediate-range detector by 5 cm results in 7%-8% change in the thermal neutron flux in the active part of the intermediate-range detector. The analysis continued with an evaluation of the effects of moving the entire core barrel on the ex-core detector response. It was estimated that the 2 mm core barrel radial oscillation results in ~4% deviation in the power and intermediate-range detector signal. The movement of the reactor core inside baffle can contribute ~6% deviation in the ex-core neutron detector signal. The analysis showed that the mechanical movement of ex-core neutron detectors cannot explain the fluctuations in the ex-core detector signal. However, combined core barrel and reactor core inside baffle oscillations could be a probable reason for the observed fluctuations in the ex-core detector signal during an earthquake.

본 연구에서는 정밀관수를 위한 관수시간, 점적라인 설치 등 관수시스템 설계를 위한 기초 데이터를 얻고자 점적관수 시 토성에 따른 물의 수분함량변화를 공간적, 시간적 변이의 차이를 구명하였다. 20cm의 간격의 노즐로 설치된 1열 점적관을 이용 관수 하였을 경우 양토와 사양토내의 수분은 중심을 따라 대칭 형태를 유지하면서 이동하였으나 수분확산 폭은 양토가 더 넓고 속도가 느린 경향을 나타내었다. 상대적으로 높은 모래성분 함량을 갖는 양질사토의 경우는 낮은 수분 보유력으로 인하여 위치별 수분함량의 변화는 상대적으로 낮았으며 그만큼 물 빠짐정도가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 관수개시점과 종말점을 고려하였을 때 사양토의 경우 20cm 깊이에서 관수개시 30분 후에 수분의 포화가 이루어졌으나 양토와 양질사토의 경우는 약 80분이 소요되어 효율적인 수분공급 측면에서 관수시간은 토성별로 달리해야 하는 것으로 나타났다. 깊이 10cm에서의 시간에 다른 토양수분의 감쇠특성은 지수함수의 형태를 나타내었으며 토양별 안정된 상태에서의 수분함량은 양토, 사양토, 양질사토 각각 17.6%, 6.2%, 4.2%로 예측되어 토성에 따라 잔여수분함량은 차이가 있음을 확인하였다. 토양수분함량과 토양수분퍼텐셜과의 관계를 나타내는 수분특성곡선은 시험 토양의 경우 모두 높은 결정계수를 갖는 지수함수로 근사가 가능하여 수분퍼텐셜을 이용하여 측정하는 재배시스템에서 대응하는 수분함량 예측에 유용한 관계식을 얻었다.

토양수분(土壤水分) 조건을 달리하였을 때 토양(土壤)에 시용한 양분(養分)이 작물(作物) 생육시기별(生育時期別)로 어떻게 이동(移動)하는가를 구명(究明)하기 위하여 본양(本良) 사양토(砂壤土) (Typic Udifluvents)에서 Ladino clover를 공시작물(供試作物)로 하여 microplot(D 20cm, L 85cm)시험(試驗)을 수행하였다. 토양수분장력(土壤水分張力)을 0.2, 1.0, 5.0 bar, 및 무관수의 4수준으로 하였을때 염소(鹽素) 이온의 하향(下向)이동은 토양수분(土壤水分) 조건이 좋을수록 빠르게 진행되어 관수점(灌水点) 0.2bar 처리구에서는 5.5개월후에는 모든 처리구에서 microplot 내 토층(土層)에서 Cl이온은 검출되지 않았다. 공시토양(供試土壤)은 유효인산(有效燐酸)함량이 매우높고 사질(砂質)임에도 인산비료(燐酸肥料)로 용과린을 사용하였기 때문에 인산(燐酸) 시용량이 많으며, 관수량이 많았으나 인산(燐酸)이 거의 이동(移動)되지 않아 시용 인산(燐酸)의 대부분이 시비지점(施肥地點)에 분포되어 있었다. 토양수분장력(土壤水分張力)이 낮게 유지된 구의 토양(土壤)일수록 유효태(有效態)로 침출되는 인산(燐酸)이 많고 식물체(植物體)에 의하여 흡수되는 양도 증가 하였다. 최종수확기(最終收穫期)에 무관계구에서는 시용(施用) 인산(燐酸)의 13%가 유효태(有效態)로 침출되고 14%가 작물(作物)에 흡수되었는데 비해 관수점(灌水点) 0.2bar 처리구에서는 24%가 침출되고 23%가 작물(作物)에 의해 흡수(吸收)되었다.

Porous ceramic cups are used for monitoring ion concentration in soil solutions in various time course and depth. A soil solution sampler was constructed in laboratory by inserting pliable perfluoroalkoxy(PFA) tubings into porous cup through holes in PVC rod segment which plugged top opening of the porous cup. The system was installed in drip irrigated soil in a vertical position, and nitrogen movement below the drip basin was monitored. To collect soil solution, vacuum in the cup was applied with a hand vacuum pump. The samples obtained were sufficient enough to run quantitative analyses for a number of chemicals. Nitrogen transformation and movement could be well defined, and the system seemed to be relevant to the other soil solution samplers in monitoring chemical movement in soil. Although this system has general deficiencies found in the other samplers using ceramic cup, it could be easily constructed at a low cost. Since the tubing was pliable, the cups could be installed in horizontal position, and this allows installations of the cups at more precise depth increments and also more precise samplings of soil solution at each depth.
