  • In this study, in order to investigate how consecutive treatments of glass surface with HF acid and water vapor/Ar plasma affect the quality of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane self-assembled monolayer (APS-SAM), poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) thin films were vapor phase-polymerized immediately after spin coating of FeCl3 and poly-urethane diol-mixed oxidant solution on the monolayer surfaces prepared at various treatment conditions. For the film characterization, various poweful tools were used, e.g., FE-SEM, an optical microscope, four point probe, and a contact angle analyzer. The characterization revealed that HF treatment is not desirable for the synthesis of a high quality PEDOT thin film via vapor phase polymerization method. Rather, sole treatment with plasma noticeably improved the quality of APS-SAM on glass surface. As a result, a highly dense and smooth PEDOT thin film was grown on uniform oxidant film-coated APS monolayer surface.

  • 본 연구는 생물학적 기법에 의한 수와호 생태계 보전방안에 있어서 자연재생법의 일환으로 조개를 활용한 내용을 소개하였다. 수와호는 과거 먹이연쇄구조에서 일차생산자의 증식을 제어할 수 있는 생물 (여과일차소비자)의 결손이 있었던 호소환경이었고, 최근까지도 이에 대한 지속적인 관리방안 및 대책을 시행해 왔다. 그 일환으로서 이매패류를 호수 내 부유식 cage를 이용하여 양식하는 방식이 대표적인 성공사례이다. 이는 식물플랑크톤의 소비를 촉진을 통한 수질정화를 도모하고 장래적으로는 수와호 저질환경개선을 유도함으로써 호소생태계의 생물 군집의 균형을 회복시키는 중요한 호소생태계복원과정의 롤모델이 될 것이라 기대하고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고, 조개와 관련한 산업화에는 여전히 해결해야 할 과제들이 산적해 있다. 우선적으로 패류의 양식을 위한 연구비용과 양식에 드는 비용적인 측면에서 자금의 조달이 가장 큰 현안이 되고 있다. 이에 대한 방안으로 공공지원자금에만 의존하기 보다는 지역특산품개발 및 자연복원을 고려한 활동을 추진할 필요성이 있다. 조개를 이용한 수와호의 수질정화 및 지역발전 계획은 주민단체인 "수와호 클럽"이 중심이 되어 2010년부터 시작한 프로젝트의 하나이다. 이 프로젝트는 초기 단계에 있는데 그 기초이론은 기존의 보고된 연구 결과나 각지에서의 수질정화 대책들을 차용한 것이며, 특별히 새로운 것은 아니다. 수와호를 더 깨끗하게 하고 싶다는 현지의 요구를 충족하기 위해서는 하드공법도 생각할 수 있지만, 자연생태복원을 목적으로 한다면 더 자연스러운 방법, 생물활성을 이용하는 방법이 있지 않을까 생각할 때 떠오른 것이 패류의 복원이었다. 이에 장기적 비전으로 지역경제발전책을 포함하여 주민들이 자발적으로 계획을 만들어 제안할 수 있다면 수와호의 자연생태복원도 꿈이 아니라고 기대하고 있다.

  • The transfer function was introduced to establish the prediction method for the DO concentration at the intaking point of Kongju Water Works System. In the mose cases we analyze a single time series without explicitly using information contained in the related time series. In many forecasting situations, other events will systematically influence the series to be forecasted(the dependent variables), and therefore, there is need to go beyond a univariate forecasting model. Thus, we must bulid a forecasting model that incorporates more than one time series and introduces explicitly the dynamic characteristics of the system. Such a model is called a multiple time series model or transfer function model. The purpose of this study is to develop the stochastic stream water quality model for the intaking station of Kongju city waterworks in Keum river system. The performance of the multiplicative ARIMA model and the transfer function noise model were examined through comparisons between the historical and generated monthly dissolved oxygen series. The result reveal that the transfer function noise model lead to the improved accuracy.

  • Ba Ria - Vung Tau province in Southern Vietnam is one of the fastest economic growing areas in the country, characterized by the rapid port and industrial development along the Thi Vai river. The socio-economic situation of the area has generally been improved; however, its part of the local inhabitants has not gained benefits from the changes. 35 surface water samples and 25 sediment samples were analysed with the interpretation of the SPOT images for 1995 and 2005. The data showed that rapid port and industrial development have resulted in significant losses of mangroves and agriculture land. The surface water was seriously polluted, particularly in terms of organic materials and suspended solids. It contained high and increasing oil concentrations. The river sediment was saline and slightly alkaline. It was heavily reduced, organic-rich, and contaminated with oil and heavy metals (Cu, Pb, and Cr).

  • The performances of electroflotation (EF) on the thickening of activated sludge were investigated using laboratory scale batch flotation reactors. Four activated sludges including bulking sludges were tested. After 30minutes of EF operation, 57-84 % of sludge volume reduction could be achieved by EF, while only about 1.5-14% could be obtained by gravity thickening for the same period. After thickening the effluent water quality in terms of TCOD, SS, and turbidity was improved by EF operation for all sludge samples. It is induced that the air bubbles entrapped in the thickened sludge play a key role in the observed improvement of sludge thickening and effluent quality.

  • Purpose: This study is aimed at developing of the flex resistance testing process at low temperature with the waterproof fabric to suit the military environment, and is designed to fit for the purpose of the waterproof materials in order to optimize the test method by finding out matters to improve from existing the test method and through previous studies. Methods: The test method, which has been applied to flex resistance of existing water-repellent materials, was improved and consequently, differentiated test results could be obtained according to the test temperature, sample size, and flexing method. Results: The testing of the total of 8 samples revealed that performance of the military requirement could hardly be met just by presenting the materials or 2~3 layers when the quality criteria for high functional water repellent fabrics were applied. PTFE(Polytetrafluoroethylene) is preferred to PU(Polyurethane) to be used in the extremely low-temperature environment, but durability under the low-temperature environment may be varied depending on film thickness or laminating technique even if the materials of waterproof films are identical. Therefore, in addition to the material or texture, the test method capable of reflecting durability under the low-temperature environment shall be suggested, and the newly designed test method proposed in this study was shown to suggest differentiated quality criteria by the material. Conclusion: The water resistance measurement and the test method following flex resistance with expanded range of flex will enable the differentiable test of the samples according to the number of repetition. This study is meaningful in that it suggests a differentiable test method capable of establishing a basis of deciding suitable material when selecting military goods made of water repellent material by properly improving the test method.

  • Objective: To develop healthier comminuted meat products to meet consumer demand, the gel properties, rheological properties, microstructure and water distribution of pork meat batters formulated with various amounts of bamboo shoot dietary fiber (BSDF) were investigated. Methods: Different levels of BSDF (0% to 4%) were added to pork batters, and the pH, color, water-holding capacity, texture and rheological properties of pork batters were determined. Then, pork batters were analyzed for their microstructure and water distribution using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR). Results: Compared with the control, BSDF addition into meat batters showed a significant reduction in L*-value and a significant increase in b*-value (p<0.05). BSDF addition of up to 4% reduced the pH value of pork batters by approximately 0.15 units; however, the cooking loss and expressible water loss decreased significantly (p<0.05) with the increased addition of BSDF. The hardness and gel strength were noticeably enhanced (p<0.05) as the content of BSDF increased. The rheological results showed that BSDF added into pork batters produced higher storage modulus (G') and loss modulus (G") values. The SEM images suggested that the addition of BSDF could promote pork batters to form a more uniform and compact microstructure. The proportion of immobilized water increased significantly (p<0.05), while the population of free water was decreased (p<0.05), indicating that BSDF improved the water-holding capability of pork batters by decreasing the fraction of free water. Conclusion: BSDF could improve the gel properties, rheological properties and water distribution of pork meat batters and decrease the proportion of free water, suggesting that BSDF has great potential as an effective binder in comminuted meat products.

  • In this study, water quality data of eight main sites in the Geumho River watershed were collected and analyzed for long-term changes in water quality over the period from 2005 to 2015. The results showed that BOD concentration was gradually improved by the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL), stages 1 and 2. Recently, a tendency of increasing BOD concentration was observed in the downstream section of the river. The concentration of COD was analyzed to be contaminated throughout the water system regardless of the water quality improvement project, and the TN concentration tended to increase in the midstream of the river from 2013. The TP concentration has clearly decreased from 2012 after the second stage of TMDL. For the statistical analysis of PCA ordination, monthly water qualities (pH, DO, Electrical Conductivity (EC), Water Temperature (WT), BOD, COD, TN, TP, TOC, and SS) and flow rate data for 5 years from 2012 to 2016 were used. Seasonally the Geumho River showed an increase in the TN concentration at point sources during the dry season (December to February). TP showed the effect of non-point sources in the summer, because rainfall has caused a rise in flow rate in the upstream. Besides, the origin of pollution source was changed from non-point sources with BOD, COD, and TOC.

  • 생분해성 물질 지표인 BOD 중심의 환경규제와 환경기초시설의 집중 투자로 인하여 전국적인 BOD 오염도는 지속적으로 개선되었다. 그러나 COD 등의 난분해성 물질은 주요 상수원을 포함하여 전국적으로 정체 또는 증가 추세를 보임에 따라 BOD 관리체계의 한계를 드러냄과 동시에 정체수역 증가와 같은 수체 특성변화의 반영 등 달라진 환경여건을 반영할 수 있는 지표의 필요성이 끊임없이 제기되고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 수체의 변화된 유기물질 오염상태를 적절히 관리할 수 있는 유기물질 관리지표를 선정하였다. 지표전환의 항목으로 $COD_{Cr}$와 TOC를 검토해 본 결과 $COD_{Cr}$보다는 TOC를 향후 유기물질 관리지표로 선정함이 적정한 것으로 나타났다. TOC는 유기물지표로서 대표성,국제적 통용성, 모니터링 프로그램의 용이성, 분석기술의 유무, 정밀도 및 정확도, 분석에 소요되는 시간, 운전의 용이성, 소독부산물의 관리, 기존정책과의 연계성, 외국사례여부, 국내적용사례, 수생태계와의 상관성 등에 대한 평가 결과 타당한 것으로 나타났다.
