The differential enhanced degradation of cis- and trans-1,3-D was observed in the previous two studies performed by Ou et al. (1995) and especially Chung et al. (1999). This study was initiated to investigate the involvement of microorganisms in the differential enhanced degradation of the chemicals. As expected, microorganisms were responsible for the enhanced degradation of the chemicals. A mixed bacterial culture capable of degrading 1,3-D was isolated from an enhanced soil sample collected from a site treated with 1,3-D. Similar to the enhanced soil, the mixed culture degraded trans-1,3-D faster than cis-1,3-D. This mixed culture could not utilize cis- and trans-1,3-D as a sole source of carbon for growth. Rather, a variety of second substrates were evaluated to stimulate the differential enhanced degradation of the two isomers. As a result, the mixed culture degraded cis- and trans-1,3-D only in the presence of a suitable second substrate. Second substrates that had the capacity to stimulate the degradation included soil leachate, tryptone, tryptophan, and alanine. Other substrates tested, including soil extract, glucose, yeast extract, and indole (ailed to stimulate the degradation of the two isomers. Therefore, it appeared that the degradation of cis- and trans-1,3-D was a cometabolic process. The mixed culture was composed of four morphologically distinctive bacterial colonies.

The effect of enhanced geometry (pore diameter, gap width) is investigated on the pool boiling of R-123/oil mixture for the enhanced tubes having pores with connecting gaps. Tubes with different pore diameters (and corresponding gap widths) are specially made. Significant heat transfer degradation by oil is observed for the present enhanced tubes. At 5% oil concentration, the degradation is 26 to 49% for $T_{sat}=4.4^{\circ}C$. The degradation increases 50 to 67% for $T_{sat}=26.7^{\circ}C$. The heat transfer degradation is significant even with small amount of oil (20 to 38% degradation at 1% oil concentration for $T_{sat}=4.4^{\circ}C$), probably due to the accumulation of oil in sub-tunnels. The pore size (or gap width) has a significant effect on the heat transfer degradation. The maximum degradation is observed for $d_p$ = 0.20 mm tube at $T_{sat}=4.4^{\circ}C$, and for $d_p$=0.23 mm tube at $T_{sat}=26.7^{\circ}C$. The minimum degradation is observed for $d_p$=0.27 mm tube for both saturation temperatures. It appears that the oil removal is facilitated for the larger pore diameter (along with larger gap) tube. The highest heat transfer coefficient with oil is obtained for $d_p$ =0.23 mm tube, which yielded the highest heat transfer coefficient for pure R-123. The heat transfer degradation increases as the heat flux decreases.

A microorganism, Klebsiella gr. 47, capable of degrading BTX(benzene, toluene and xylene) was isolated from oil-contaminated soil and its characteristics of BTX degradation were investigated. When benzene and toluene were fed to Klebstella gr. 47 simulataneously, they showed competitive ingibition. The degradation rate of xylene was enhanced as much as 3 times when xylene was fed with benzene or toluene. Degradation rate of benzene and toluene was also enhanced by cocultured with Alcaligenes xylosoxidans. When benzene-adapted microorganism was used, each BTX compound was degraded efficiently within 5 hours.

Organochlorine pesticide residues continue to remain as a major environmental threat worldwide. Lindane is an organochlorine pesticide widely used as an acaricide in medicine and agriculture. In the present study, a new lindane-degrading yeast strain, Pseudozyma VITJzN01, was identified as a copious producer of glycolipid biosurfactant. The glycolipid structure and type were elucidated by FTIR, NMR spectroscopy, and GC-MS analysis. The surface activity and stability of the glycolipid was analyzed. The glycolipids, characterized as mannosylerythritol lipids (MELs), exhibited excellent surface active properties and the surface tension of water was reduced to 29 mN/m. The glycolipid was stable over a wide range of pH, temperature, and salinity, showing a very low CMC of 25 mg/l. Bio-microemulsion of olive oil-in-water (O/W) was prepared using the purified biosurfactant without addition of any synthetic cosurfactants, for lindane solubilization and enhanced degradation assay in liquid and soil slurry. The O/W bio-microemulsions enhanced the solubility of lindane up to 40-folds. Degradation of lindane (700 mg/l) by VITJzN01 in liquid medium amended with bio-microemulsions was found to be enhanced by 36% in 2 days, compared with degradation in 12 days in the absence of bio-microemulsions. Lindane-spiked soil slurry incubated with bio-microemulsions also showed 20-40% enhanced degradation compared with the treatment with glycolipids or yeast alone. This is the first report on lindane degradation by Pseudozyma sp., and application of bio-microemulsions for enhanced lindane degradation. MEL-stabilized bio-microemulsions can serve as a potential tool for enhanced remediation of diverse lindane-contaminated environments.

국내 가동중 원자력발전소는 KEPIC MI 또는 ASME Code Sec. XI 등의 기술기준에 따라 가동중검사를 수행하며, 이를 통해 주요 기기 및 배관의 건전성을 확인하고 있다. 하지만, 원전 설계단계에서 고려되지 못한 다양한 손상기구에 대해서는 별도의 강화 검사프로그램을 통해 건전성을 확인하고 있다. 이러한 강화 검사프로그램에 대한 요건은 규제기관에서 개발하거나, 발전사업자가 자발적으로 규정을 마련하는 경우가 있으며, 사업자가 개발한 검사프로그램에 대해서는 규제기관의 심사과정을 거쳐 적합성 여부를 확인하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 원자력발전소 설계단계에서부터 반영된 기술기준 KEPIC 또는 ASME Code에 따른 가동중검사 외에, 발전소 손상경험 등을 반영하여 강화된 검사프로그램을 중점적으로 고찰하고, 비파괴검사 관련 요건을 검토하였다.

휘발성 훈증제인 cis-와 trans-1,3-D의 각각에 대한 분해력 향상은 몇몇 연구자들에 의해 이루어져왔다. 본 연구는 cis-와 trans-1,3-D에 대해 서로 다른 속도에서 각각의 분해력 증진과 미생물과의 관련성을 조사한 것으로, 미생물이 휘발성을 갖는 독성 유기화합물의 분해를 향상시키는 데 관여하고 있음이 관찰되었다. 1,3-D로 야외(field)처리되어 적응되어 왔던 토양으로부터, 1,3-D의 분해가 확인된 토양시료를 채취하여 1,3-D를 분해할 수 있는 혼합 배양세균을 분리하였다. 이렇게 분리된 혼합 배양세균은 cis-1,3-D보다는 trans-1,3-D를 더 빨리 분해 시켰으나, 미생물 성장을 위한 탄소원으로 cis-와 trans-1,3-D만이 제공되었을 때는 분해가 일어나지 않는 반면, 적절한 2차 탄소원들이 존재할 때에는 cis-와 trans-1,3-D를 분해시켰다. 따라서, cis-와 trans-1,3-D의 분해는 공동대사과정(cometabolism)인 것으로 판단된다. 두 이성질체는, 토양여과액(soil leachate), tryptone, tryptophan, alanine이 포함된 시료가 2차 탄소원으로 제공되었을 때에는 분해가 이루어졌으나, 고온고압하에서 멸균시킨 토양추출액(soil extract), glucose, yeast extract 및 indole이 포함된 시료가 2차 탄소원으로 제공되었을 때는 두 이성질체 모두를 분해시키지 못했다. 상업용 훈증제로 이용되는 cis-와 trans-1,3-D를 다른 속도로 개별적으로 분해하는 혼합 미생물군은 형태학적인 구별방법에 의해 4개의 독립된 순수 colony로 구성되어 있는 것으로 관찰되었다.

본 논문에서는 Dual oxide를 갖는 Nano-scale CMOSFET에서 각 소자의 Hot carrier 특성을 분석하여 두 가지 중요한 결과를 나타내었다. 하나는 NMOSFET Thin/Thick인 경우 CHC stress 보다는 DAHC stress에 의한 소자 열화가 지배적이고, Hot electron이 중요하게 영향을 미치고 있는 반면에, PMOSFET에서는 특히 Hot hole에 의한 영향이 주로 나타나고 있다는 것이다. 다른 하나는, Thick MOSFET인 경우 여전히 NMOSFET의 수명이 PMOSFET의 수명에 비해 작지만, Thin MOSFET에서는 오히려 PMOSFET의 수명이 NMOSFET보다 작다는 것이다. 이러한 분석결과는 Charge pumping current 측정을 통해 간접적으로 확인하였다. 따라서 Nano-scale CMOSFET에서의 NMOSFET보다는 PMOSFET에 대한 Hot camel lifetime 감소에 관심을 기울여야 하며, Hot hole에 대한 연구가 진행되어야 한다고 할 수 있다.

We accomplished optimization for pump and treat (P&T) designs in consideration of degradation processes such as retardation and biodegradation, which are significant for contaminant fate in hydrogeology. For more desirable remediation, optimal pumping duration and minimum pumping rate constraint problems are studied. After a specific P&T duration, it replaces the P&T with the enhanced natural attenuation (ENA), which induces aerobic biodegradation by maintaining oxygen concentration. The design in this strategy carries out the optimization for the number and locations of oxygen injection wells.

Enhancing with non-metallic elemental nitrogen(N) is one of several methods that have been proposed to modify the electronic properties of bulk titanium dioxide($TiO_2$), in order to make $TiO_2$ effective under visible-light irradiation. Accordingly, current study evaluated the feasibility of applying visible-light-induced $TiO_2$ enhanced with N element to cleanse aromatic compounds, focusing on xylene isomers at indoor air quality(IAQ) levels. The N-enhanced $TiO_2$ was prepared by applying two popular processes, and they were coated by applying two well-known methods. For three o-, m-, and p-xylene, the two coating methods exhibited different photocatalytic oxidation(PCO) efficiencies. Similarly, the two N-doping processes showed different PCO efficiencies. For all three stream flow rates(SFRs), the degradation efficiencies were similar between o-xylene and m,p-xylene. The degradation efficiencies of all target compounds increased as the SFR decreased. The degradation efficiencies determined via a PCO system with N-enhanced visible-light induced $TiO_2$ was somewhat lower than that with ultraviolet(UV)-light induced unmodified $TiO_2$, which was reported by previous studies. Nevertheless, it is noteworthy that PCO efficiencies increased up to 94% for o-xylene and 97% for the m,p-xylene under lower SFR(0.5 L $min^{-1}$). Consequently, it is suggested that with appropriate SFR conditions, the visible-light-assisted photocatalytic systems could also become important tools for improving IAQ.

To induce the enhanced mutants of dinitroaniline herbicide pendimethalin degrading bacterium, Bacillus sp. MS202 was irradiated with gamma radiation at the dose of $LD_{99}$ (3.35 kGy). Three enhanced mutants (MS202m7, MS202m14, MS202m18) were isolated from the candidates by the generation - isolation method. Clear zone formation and the GC analysis confirmed that the degrading activity of each enhanced mutant (MS202m7, MS202m14, MS202m18), the formation of pendimethalin metabolite, increased by $11\%,\;45\%,\;and\;32\%$ than a wild type, respectively. It suggested that these mutants induced by gamma radiation could be useful for the application of pesticide degradation.
