DBPs and T&O(taste-and-odor) compounds in drinking water is one of main source to deteriorate water quality. So, these compounds can cause adverse health effects and result in many consumer complaints aesthetically. This experiments carried out to investigate the effect of boiling water on DBPs and T&O compounds in the tap water. THMs and TCM concentration were reduced by 91.3%, 88.9% after 5 min of boiling, respectively. It is certainly, resulted from volatilization of TCM. TCAA concentration decreased when the water was boiled, too. By contrast, the concentration of DCAA was increased with duration time from boiling-point. The reduction of TCAA from the boiled water can be attributed to chemical transformation like decarboxylation. T&O compounds such as geosmin and 2-MIB was effectively removed by boiling of water, resulting in the removal efficiency of 97.1%, 94.4% after 5 min of boiling, respectively.

The characteristic of cold water by upwelling in the southeast of the Korean Peninsula and the effect of sea breeze in this region are investigated. The coastal upwelling around the southeast coast of the Korea Peninsula is analyzed by using Coastal Oceanographic Data statistical analyses for 5 years were carried out. The period of an cold water event, on the average, was observed southwesterly wind events. The analysis suggests that strong and persistent southwesterly winds in period of an cold water play an important role of bring the moisture to the surface, generating persistent cyclone as jangma. In order to investigate the effect of cold water on sea breeze, we considered two case. First, Exp. 1 is not occurred coastal upwelling on sea breeze. Second, Exp. 2 is occurred cold water on sea breeze. Two experiments were completed separately to the effects of cold water by upwelling. The results show the sea breeze is stronger in Exp. 2, when the cold water occurs, and weaker in Exp. 1, when there is no cold water. In order to verify the effect of the sea breeze on the cold water by upwelling, on the intensification and change of direction of the prevailing wind, the sea breeze effectively intensify cold water condition.

The effect of water level on the free vibration of a partially water-filled two rectangular plates structure was investigated by experimental modal analysis and finite element analysis using ANSYS computer program. Modal parameters of two rectangular plates coupled with water were obtained by means of experiment and the FEM solutions were compared with the experimental solutions to verify the finite element model. As a result, the comparison between the experiment and FEM results showed excellent agreement. The transverse vibration modes, in-phase and out-of-phase, were observed alternately in the fluid-coupled system. The effect of water level and water gap size on the fluid-coupled natural frequency were investigated. It was found that the natural frequency of the partially water-filled two rectangular plates are not proportional to the water level, but depend on mode number of plates.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of hot water soluble extract from Angelicae Radix on the components of serum and liver and the effects on the antioxidant system. For this purpose, five experimental groups were set up. And for fat source, perila oil enough with unsaturated fatty acid and beef tallow enough with saturated fatty acid were supplemented to the rats together with hot water soluble extract from Angelicae Radixs. Five experimental groups kept eight Sprague-Dawley rats respectively. They were CO group supplemented with basic diet of AIN-93, PO group supplemented with perila oil, POA group supplemented with perila oil and hot water soluble extract from Angelicae Radix, BT group supplemented with beef tallow, and BTA group supplemented with beef tallow and hot water soluble extract from Angelicae Radix. The results were; 1) Final weight, weight gain, fluid intake and FER were not different significantly among the experimental groups, 2) Significant difference of food intake was observed(p<0.05) in BTA group only, 3) No significant difference was observed in serum total lipid, serum triglyceride and HDL cholesterol among experimental groups. Serum total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol were significantly low(p<0.05) in the group supplemented with beef tallow which was with hot water soluble extract from Angelicae Radix (BTA group). 4)Liver total cholesterol in liver was low in groups supplemented with perila oil and hot water soluble extract from Angelicae Radix. In summary, hot water soluble extract from Angelicae Radix did not affect the weight gain, fluid intake and food efficiency ratio among the experimental groups, but had an effect of lowering food intake, serum total cholesterol and serum LDL cholesterol significantly in the groups which were supplemented with beef tallow and hot water soluble extract from Angelicae Radix. The effect of lowering liver total cholesterol with the supplementation of hot water soluble extract from AnRelicae Radix was observed in perila oil group only. The effect of lowering cholesterol with the supplementation of hot water soluble extract from Angelicae Radix was observed both in serum and in liver.

This cepseiment was carried out to cerify the effect of thawing methods and preservative temperature on the sperm motility and fertility after thawing semen with plastic straws in fresh and warm water. Sperm motility in vitro stored at room temperature after thawing were conducted by the various storage hours. A field trial after thawing semen with warmed water in straws from Cheju native cows involving 4 technicians and 800 cows first (or second) services gave the following results. The thawing methods of warmed water for one minute in semen motility were considerably higher than that in iced water during 12 hours after thawing semen, however, the sperm survival index of ice-water shwed a better results according as the time passed away, but not significant differences. Preservative temperaure at 5$^{\circ}C$ (iced water) after thawing gave significantly better results than that of thawed at 3$0^{\circ}C$ (warmed water). The N R rate to 175 inseminations with semen thawed at 15-2$0^{\circ}C$ (fresh water) was 82.8%, 80.9% for 610 inseminations thawed in warm water. Conception rate ofthe semen thawed in warm water for 10-60 secs gave no significant difference among storage hours, because the semen used to be inseminated within one hour almost, but in decreased when semen thawed at the period of one minute over.

Estuary barrier is a hydraulic structure constructed to supply safely water as protecting chlorine penetration of sea water. However, the barrier brings about a problem which decreases original functions of estuary because hydraulic ecology was disrupted as obstructing natural water exchange between fresh water and sea water. It is important to supply Enough fresh water in the estuary ecosystem. But it is possible to reduce the problems brought from barrier throughout efficient water gate operation of estuary barrier. It was shown in this study that the environmental effect of estuary in Nakdong river was investigated according to the control of water level. Also, the basic information about the effective water gate operation was provided. The analysis results showed that the release rate of estuary was increased about 20% as changing the operational water levels. This helps supplying fresh water durably to the mixing zone. Also, CE-QUAL-W2 model was utilized to assess water quality. The values of BOD and COD were not changed in estuary area. From the result, it was analyzed the effect of water quality according to the water gate operation was not indicated.

As a countermeasure for reduction of corrosion in the delivery and distribution pipes used for tap water, materials for the pipelines in-houses and the effect of water quality on corrosivity of water pipelines were investigated in the distribution system of Han river. As the corrosion index at 6 water purification facilities of Han river, average Langelier Saturation Index (LI) of raw and finished water were -1.0 and -1.4 respectively and average Larson Index (LR) were 9.5 and 9.9, respectively. And also corrosion potential showed corrosivity in finished water (-431~-462 mV) as well as raw water (-426~-447 mV). This results indicate that tap water quality of han river have corrosivity. To understand the corrosivity effect in pipe material used for premise distribution system, water quality of stagnant tap water and tap water were analyzed and the differences between them were calculated. The difference concentration of iron, copper and zinc were $12.9{\mu}g/L$, $31.0{\mu}g/L$ and $45.0{\mu}g/L$ respectively in galvanized steel pipe for use more than 15 years and showed highest concentration. As a result, the control to corrosivity in the water pipelines, corrosivity control treatment in the water purification system can be applied. In advance it is necessary to monitor corrosivity of water quality using corrosive index because corrosivity may differ from the seasonal and regional characteristics and water chemicals dosage. For the future the guideline for corrosion index have to be established.

The antioxidative effect of mugwort extracts was measured by DPPH and LDL with four different solutions (70% acetone, ethanol, hot water, cold water). Mugwort extracts contained 3.2% of polyphenol, 380 RE/l00 g of vitamin A, 16.2 mg/100 g of vitamin C, and 5.1 ${\alpha}$-TE/100 g of vitamin E. DPPH revealed the effect in the order of 70% acetone, hot water, ethanol, and cold water. In particular, 70% acetone showed outstandingly stronger activity than the control group. Also, when 10 ${\mu}\ell$ was added, the effect was well noticed. But the antioxidative activity was hardly seen at 15 ${\mu}\ell$. LDL exhibited the same order of strength in proportion to mugwort＇s concentration. Against the control group, the activity of 70% acetone was 7 times, hot water and ethanol 6 times, and cold water 2 times. This result is attributable to the antioxidative increase of polyphenol and antioxidative vitamins.

A fresh water generation system is designed for converting brackish water or seawater into fresh water. In this paper fresh water generation by distillation process that evaporates feed water and subsequently condenses vapor as evaporation product to get fresh water was studied and city water was employed as feed water. The system uses the ejector to create a vacuum, under which liquid can be evaporated at lower temperature than it at normal or atmospheric condition, hence less energy consumption. The effect of various operating conditions i.e. temperature of feed water and different orifice diameters were studied experimentally to investigate the characteristic of the system. It was found that these parameters have significant effect in the performance of fresh water generation system with low pressure evaporation.
