This study is carried out to investigate the water quality changes in Busan Metropolitan streams, The results are as follows. The level of organic contaminants($BOD_{5}$ and $COD_{Mn}$) is found to be low and does not show seasonal variation in domestic waste water streams. But, the level of organic contaminants in industrial waste water streams is relatively high and seems to be seasonally variable, which is affected by other factors. The nutrient materials, such as nitrogen(as T-N, about 20mg/L) and phosphorus(as T-P about 2.0mg/L), are abundant than Nak Dong River and the general trends of contaminants level are similar to those of organic contaminants. The chronic water qualities, including organic, nutrient contaminants levels, show that the loading rates in 1998 are smaller than the past(1983, 1992). And this trend is more evident in industrial waste water streams than domestic waste water streams.

In this study, Sulgidduk samples were prepared with substitutions of 1, 2, 3, and 4% tomato powder, along with a control, and were then analyzed for quality characteristics such as moisture content, water activity, color, textural characteristics, and sensory qualities, in order to determine the optimal ratio of tomato powder in the formulation. According to the results, moisture content and water activity were not significantly different among the Sulgidduk samples. In terms of color, as the level of tomato powder content increased, lightness decreased, while the a-value (+redness/-greenness), and yellowness increased. For the textural characteristics, the samples showed significant differences for hardness, adhesiveness, and gumminess, while fracturability was not significantly different. In addition, the samples containing tomato powder presented significantly higher springiness, cohesiveness(except the 1% substitution level), chewiness, and resilience than the control group. In the sensory evaluation, the control group had significantly higher scores for color and flavor as compared to the tomato powder samples. Furthermore, flavor and overall acceptability decreased, while tomato flavor, sourness, and off-flavor increased with increasing tomato powder content. Sweetness and after-taste were not significantly different among the samples. In conclusion, the results indicate that substituting 2${\sim}$3% tomato powder in Sulgidduk is optimal for quality, and provides a product with reasonably high overall acceptability.

The binder plays important roles in determining the quality of pigment coating. In addition to its primary role of binding the pigment to the base paper, the binder performs several other important functions. The binder, also referred to as the adhesive, is the dominant in the aqueous phase of the formulation. Thus it plays a major role in determining viscosity, rheology, water release, and setting time for the coating. Latices based on styrene-butadiene dominate the market for synthetic paper coating binders. Consumption is high and is expected to increase further due to the present tendeyncy toward high-solids coating. The purpose of this study is understanding the impact of various parameters of latex(i.e. Tg, Particle size) affecting prontabilities and optical properties of the coated papers, as well as providing basic information on the use of amphoteric latex for improving print qualities of coated papers. Recently, amphoteric latices, Which are cationic at low pH's but turn anionic at high pH's have attracted interests of paper scientists and engineers. Therefore we investigated the effect of the Tg(glass transition temperature) and particle size of amphoteric latex on the coating qualities. We also studied the effect of mixing ratios (Amphoteric / Anionic)of latex on the coating qualities. Our results showed that Tg and particle size of amphoteric latex have to be controlled for optimizing coated paper qualities. The formulation consisting of 10 parts of amphoteric latex and 5 parts of anionic latex gave best results in ink receptivity, smoothness, air permeability, opacity and sheet gloss. If the results hold for the industrial paper coatings, the amount of expensive amphoteric latex can be reduced while achieving best available printing quality.

This paper aims to assessing impact of reduction of non-point source pollution in the Bokha Stream watershed. The BASINS/HSPF model was calibrated and verified for water flow and water qualities using Total Maximum Daily Load 8days data from 2006 to 2007. Accuracy of the BASINS/HSPF models in simulating hydrology and water quality was compared and there were somewhat differences of statistical results, but water flow and water quality were simulated in good conditions over the study period. The applicability of models was tested to evaluate non-point source control scenarios to response hydrology and water quality in the Bokha stream using various measures which include BMPs approach and change of landuse. The evaluation of reduction of non-point source pollution was developed using load-duration curve. Despite strong reduction of non-point source, there are not satiated target quality at low flow season.

Flow rate, watertable and selected water quality of 2 small rural streams and 6 observation well located in Kangwon-do, Korea, were monitored land use of the watersheds was investigated to describe the trend of stream water quality for 2 years and groundwater quality for 1 year. Water qualities were analyzed with respect to BOD, SS, T-N, Nitrate, T-P and E-coli. Stream water quality and gorundwater quality directly concerned with the amount of rainfall and paddy fields. but water quality of watersheds is existed with other factor. Therefore, We have to continued monitoring and developing the best management practice.

The rapid industrialization and urbanization in Osaka Bay have produced many serious water pollution problems since the 1960s. A symbolic phenomenon is algae bloom (red tide), which occurred 53 times in 1976. The special law was enacted in 1973 and a number of administrative steps were taken, such as cutting COD loading, reductions in phosphorus (P) and restriction of land reclamation. As a result, the pollution of Osaka Bay has gradually been reduced, and the environment has been improved to some extent. In this study, to analyze the relations between water qualities as well as a social, economic activity by the coastal zone, the water quality data in Osaka Bay of 70 years past since 1921 were collected. Data such as population, livestock, fertilizer, industrial product etc. were also collected for estimating nutrients flowing into bay from land. It was found that the water quality was changed of a similar trend of estimated nutrients load, with delay of about four or five years.

Forestry and agricultural land uses constitute 85% of Korea and these land uses are typically mixed in many watersheds. Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) concentration is a primary factor for managing water qualities of the water resources in Korea. BOD loadings from diffuse sources, however, not well monitored yet. This study aims to assess BOD loadings from diffuse sources and their affecting factors to conserve quality of water resources. Event Mean Concentration (EMC) of BOD was calculated based on the monitoring data of forty rainfall events at four agricultural-forestry watersheds. Exceedence cumulative probability of BOD EMCs were plotted to show agricultural activities in a watershed impacts on the magnitude of EMCs. Prediction equation for each rainfall event was proposed to estimate BOD EMCs: $EMC_{BOD}(mg/L)=EXP(0.413+0.0000001157{\times}$(discharged runoff volume in $m^3$)+0.018${\times}$(ratio of agricultural land use to total watershed area).

Bread is an essential food consumed worldwide. Bread rapidly loses its desirable texture and flavor qualities associated with freshness through a process known as staling. The shelf life of bread is limited by this staling leading to economical losses in the range of one billion dollars per year. There are a number of mechanisms thought to be related to the staling process, such as water migration and redistribution, starch retrogradation, and gluten transformation. In this review, roles of water and water migration on bread staling are summarized and discussed.

The physicochemical properties and cooking qualities of six cultivars of covered barley, four malting barley and six naked barley were investigated. The 1, 000 kernel weight was heavier in the malting barley and ash content was the highest in covered barley. The varietal variation of amylose content was 17.7 to 20.2%. $\beta$-Glucan viscosity was generally lower in the malting barely, and varied greatly among barley cutivars with 2.16 to 8.47 cSt. The pearling rate was highest in naked barley with a mean of 75.5% and protein content of aw and pearled barely was significantly different with cultivars. In the cultivars tested, Doosan 8, Youngsan and Iri 5 showed the higher milling rate. Amylose patterns showed that the covered barley cultivars has lower gelatinization temperature and higher peak height and height at 50 $^{\circ}C$ than the malting and naked barley. The water absorptions were highest in covered barley cultivars , and lowest in naked barley cultivars. The soluble solid was highest in naked barley cultivars.

A spacer grid assembly, which is an interconnected array of slotted grid straps and is welded at the intersections to form an egg crate structure, is one of the main structural components of the nuclear fuel assembly for pressurized water reactors(PWRs). The spacer grid assembly is structurally required to have enough buckling strength under various kinds of lateral loads acting on the nuclear fuel assembly so as to keep the nuclear fuel assembly straight. To meet this requirement, it is necessary to weld the welding parts carefully and precisely. In this study, weld qualities such as, weld bead size, penetration, spatter, etc. manufactured by various welders were compared and analyzed. Comparison results show that the weld qualities could be improved by selecting the optimal welding condition and also improving the welding technique.
