The effects of light, desiccation and salinity on the discharge of spores in Korean agarophyte, Gracilaria verrucosa were studied. Among the examined factors, light after darkness was the most effective for spore discharge. The maximum release of tetraspores was induced at 24 h after the treatment. Desiccation also seems to be conductive to the release of tetraspores. However, its effect, as in treatment of distilled water for salinity, was hardly found in induction of carpospore discharge. This may suggest that spore discharge in this alga is primarily related with photoperiodic rhythm. Also it appears that the amount of light energy received by fertile thalli also significantly affects to the spore release, considering relationship between the amount of the discharged spores and the elapsed time after treatment.

This Daper presents effective simulation of the dispersion of thermal discharge which can be relesed at Boryong power plant. Applied numerical models are finite difference method for hydrodynamic analysis and Masch-model comprised of conditions for ambient current velocity. Application of these models is done in Cheonsu Bay Summing up the results of this study are as follows; 1. It is found that the result for measurements of temperature appears high at southwardly Songdo on flood. The reason is that tidal currents which flowed north direction were accompanied with southwardly dispersed thermal discharge. A minute Particle of thermal Plume has a tendency to dispels inward Deacheon Bay. 2. According to the results of numerical experiment, maximum distance for thermal discharge dispersion appeared 10.8 km at lower part and 8.6 km at upper part with power plant outlet as starting point. 3. Comparative the numerical simulation and Airbone Multispectral Scanner indicated that thermal discharge should be verified separative phenomena. The simulated results were compared with field data set showing good agreement. It is concluded that these model can be simulated well.

In this experimental study we Proposed the double dielectric barrier discharge (DDBD) reactor to produce as high an electric field as possible. The experiment are conducted for applied voltage from 15 to 20[tV], flow gas rage at 2[1/min] and pulse rate at 120[pulses/s] and 240[pulses/s]. SPD connection of DDBD which combine the surface discharge with the silence discharge was most effective to reduce the NOx. In the decomposition efficiency per watt, the low pulse rate gave hotter efficiency than that of the high pulse rate. However in DeNOx rate, the high pulse rate gave better performance than that of the low pulse rate. NOx removal rate increased with increasing the applied voltage in all reactors.

Halogen-based fire suppressing agents have been the most effective fire suppressants and widely used for flammable liquid and electric fire. However they have environmental problems causing stratospheric ozone depletion and globe warming. As a substitution of halon, fire suppression system using fine water mist is one of an effective fire suppressant. Suffocating and cooling effects of water mist are increased by the evaporation characteristics because it has droplet size less than 1,000 $\mu{m}$ and very large surface area. In this study, the extinguishing characteristics of fire was measured with changing of water mist droplet size, flow density; discharge pressure, and fire size. As a result, the extinguishing time of pool fire was shortened with the increase of flow density and in case of low flow density less than 0.5$\pm$0.05 ml/$\textrm{cm}^2$ . min, the extinguishing time was shortened with the increase of droplet size. The cycling discharge was effective for $\eta$-heptane pool fire, and total amount of water mist required to extinguish fire was reduced to a quarter compare with continuous discharge.

A safety valve has a valve mechanism for the automatic release of gas from piping system when the pressure exceeds preset limit cause of a defect of a pressure regulator, condensation of water in a pipe. Therefore, for the safety of pressure regulating station, it is essential to study the flow regime and characteristics of safety valve. This article presents the numerical analysis on the flow analysis, the ejection capacity and required effective discharge area of the safety valve that is established in pressure regulating station. Then, the results are compared and analyzed with domestic and foreign regulations such as API(America Petroleum Institute), EN(European Standard), and NF(Norme Francise). Moreover, the installation number of safety valve is considered by using domestic and foreign regulations and maximum reguired effective discharge area of safety valve.

A compact discharge plasma system with a photocatalyst has been proposed and investigated experimentally for application to air conditioners. It was found that there was intense ultra violet radiation with high energy of 3.2 eV from the corona discharge due to the DC-biased pulse voltage applied on a wire. An electrophotochemical reaction took place apparently on the surfaces of the photocatalyst of $TiO_2$ irradiated ultra violet front the discharge plasma in the proposed plasma system. The proposed discharge plasma system with the photocatalyst of $TiO_2$ showed very high removal efficiency of VOCs by tile additional electrophotochemical reactions on the photocatalyst. The proposed discharge plasma system also showed very high removal efficiency of particles such as smokes, suspended bacteria, and pollen and mite allergens by the electrostatic precipitation part. This type of corona discharge plasma system with a photocatalyst can be used as an effective means of removing both indoor pollutant gases and particles including suspended allergens.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of the discharge education program on compliance with the sick role behavior for patients having undergone cerebrovascular surgery. Method: Research was done using a posttest only design. The subjects were 60 patients who were admitted to the neurosurgery unit at C.N.U. Hospital in G. City and were divided into the experimental and control groups. The discharge education program were intervened two times in the experimental group by the researcher; the first one was at the time of discharge using a booklet about knowledge related to disease and compliance, and the other one was a telephone education session after a week from discharge. Data were collected two times by interview and telephone using questionnaires from January 19, to June 10, 2000. The first one was at hospital before discharge, and the other one was one month later from discharge. Data were analysed by $\chi^{2}$, t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation. Results: The experimental group showed a higher score of compliance(t=2.772, p=.008) than those of the control group, but knowledge about CVD was not significant between the two groups(p>.05). Conclusion: The discharge education program was effective on the compliance of the patients having undergone cerebrovascular surgery.

A demand of marine outfall system has been much increased for the effective disposal of the wastewater due to population and industrial development at the coastal areas. The outfall system discharges primary or secondary treated effluent into the coastline, or at the deep water, or between these two. The discharge is carried out by constructing a pipeline on the sea bed with a diffuser or with a tunnel, risers and appropriate. The effluent, which has a density similar to that of fresh water, rises to the sea surface forming plume or jet, together with entraining the surrounding salt water and becomes very dilute. Thus there have been growing interests about plume behaviour around the outfall system. Plume or jet discharged from single-port or multi-port diffuser might cause certain impacts on coastal environment. Near field mixing characteristics of discharged water field using CORMIX model have been studied for effective outfall design various conditions on ambient current, depth, flow rate, effluent concentration, diffuser specification, port specification etc.. This kind of analysis is necessary to deal with water quality problems caused by the ocean discharge. The analyzed result was applied to the Pusan Jungang effluent outfall system plan.
