In this study, an experimental research on the acceleration effect of dredged soil's self weight consolidation with seepage consolidation and PBD was conducted. The middle-sized consolidation equipment had been manufactured in order to investigate the acceleration of sedimentation and self-weight consolidation by PBD and a lower drainage. Seepage pressure was applied to the PBD installed in the center of the test equipment and a drainage by seepage pressure was allowed. The comparison between cases with and without PBD and seepage pressure reveals that the quantity of drained water and the amount of settlement was nearly 1.2 times to 3.68 times greater in the case with PBD and seepage. Early consolidation completion and the use of reclaimed site are expected due to the acceleration of settlement and increase of the quantity of reclamation if PBD is installed while being reclaiming using the result of the research.

The defect chemistry and electrical characteristics of the grain boundaries of semiconducting SrTiO3 ceramics synthesized with wet-chemically surface-coated powders were investigated. The starting powders were separated into groups of 1-10${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ 10-20${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ etc by sedimentation and sieving methods. Na+ ions were absorbed on the powder surfaces by wet chemical-treatment method. The width of the grain boundary ranged up to several nm and the intergranular materials was amorphous. The additives coated on the surface of the powders were observed to be present at the grain boundaries of the ceramics. The diffusion depth of the additives into grains was about 30nm for the SrTiO3 ceramics synthesized with 5w/o coated materials, The threshold voltage grain boundary resistance and boundary potential barrier of the ceramics increased from 0.67V/cm 2.27k$\Omega$ and 0.05eV to 80.9V/cm 13.0k$\Omega$ 1.44eV with increasing the amount of the additives from 0 to 5 w/o respectively .

The one-dimensional compressibility of sand is an important property for the estimation of settlement or deformation of sand deposits. The $K_0$ value of sand is also an important design parameter. Experimental results are presented in this paper to study the compressibility of sand in $K_0$ consolidation tests. The $K_0$ consolidation tests were carried out using a triaxial cell and a plane-strain apparatus. Specimens prepared using both the moist tamping and the water sedimentation methods were tested. The testing data demonstrate that the type of testing apparatus does not affect the $K_0$ measurement if proper boundary conditions are imposed in the tests. The data also show that the compressibility and the $K_0$ value of loose sand specimens prepared using the moist tamping method are very sensitive to the variation of void ratio. The $K_0$ values measured from these tests do not agree with the $K_0$ values calculated from Jaky's equation. The compressibility and $K_0$ values of sand obtained from tests on specimens prepared using different preparation methods are different which may reflect the influence of soil fabrics or structures on the one dimensional compression behavior of sand.

Excess sludge treatment and disposal currently represent a rising challenge for domestic or wastewater treatment plants due to economic, environmental and regulation factors. Conventional gravity sedimentation process has been widely used in sludge thickening. The operation method of the process is very simple, but the process requires long detention time for sludge thickening, uses polymers, and shows low sludge thickening efficiency. To solve the problems, we studied on DAF (Dissolved Air Flotation) system. We use bulking sludge of a paper manufacturing plant. The effects of parameters such as SVI (Sludge Volume Index), storage time, initial concentration and wet density of excess sludge were examined. The results showed that the more SVI was low, the more sludge was thickened. As storage time goes by, SVI was increased and thickening performance was deteriorated. In order to improve flotation performance at high concentration, high recycling ratio and pressure did not increase the concentration due to thickening limitation. The addition of 0.8 g/L of loess was increased flotation efficiency of 1.41 times.

The object of study were the development of membrane process and the optimization of operation condition for membrane system, which was used the pre-treatment system of tap water treatment in steady of conventional process such as coagulation, sedimentation. The higher steady flux is very important factor, by a suitable pre-treatment and optimization of operating condition such as fouling control, crossflow and backwashing method, in membrane system. So, we were observed the effect of flux decline for membrane used by 4 type ultrafiltration(UF) membrane pre-treatment process, and optimized the operation condition of filtration system under various MWCO(Molecular weight cut-off), operation pressure, linear velocity and temperature to maintain higher flux. From these experiment, we were identified that UF process showed a slower flux decline rate and a higher flux recovery than microfiltration(MF) membrane. The water quality of UF permeate was better than that of MF, and was not effected pre-treatment process. In the operation condition, the rate of flux decline was diminished by a higher linear velocity and operation temperature, lower pressure.

댐은 하천의 흐름을 막아 그 저수를 생활 및 공업용수, 농업용수, 발전, 홍수조절, 특정용도로 이용하기 위한 구조물을 일컫는다. 여러 가지 용도로 만든 댐의 저수지에는 상류에서 들어오는 유사가 저수지 바닥에 가라앉아 쌓이게 되는데 이를 저수지 퇴사(reservoir sedimentation)라 하며, 이는 저수지 유효 용량을 감소시키고 홍수시 유입 하천의 홍수위를 상승 및 저수지 수질을 악화시키는 등의 문제를 일으킨다. 저수지를 관리함에 있어 저수지로 유입되어 바닥에 가라앉는 퇴사량을 분석하고 저수용량과 수면적의 감소율을 예측하는 것은 효율적인 저수지 장기운영에서 매우 중요한 사항이다. 본 연구에서 향후 저수지로 유입되는 일유출량의 예측을 위해 과거 1987~2011년(25년)의 충주 댐 일유입량($m^3/s$) 자료를 단순반복시켜 향후 50년 동안의 일유량($m^3/s$)을 산정하였고, 일단위 모의가 가능한 유역단위의 분포형 장기 강우-유출모형인 SWAT를 이용하여 산정된 일유량($m^3/s$) 자료를 비교 평가하여 모형의 검증을 실시하였다. 유량-유사량 관계곡선을 이용하여 분석 대상 기간 동안의 총유사량을 구할 수 있으며, 한강유역조사(2002)에서 유도한 충주댐 상류 정선지점의 유량-유사량 관계식으로부터 향후 50년의 일유량($m^3/s$) 자료를 이용하여 총유사량를 산정하였다. 또한, 경험적 면적감소법을 이용하여 임의의 기간에 대한 실측치와 모의치 각각에 대한 퇴사분포 및 퇴사량을 산정 및 평가하였다. 이를 통해 효율적인 용수관리를 위한 저수지 퇴사관리 방안의 시기별 도출이 가능하였다.

High protein beverage of cow-soy milk was prepared by mixing the soymilk and commercial homogenized cow milk in the various ratios. Effect of heat treatment, pH and addition of calcium and sucrose was studied on the water-soluble nitrogen of cow-soy milk The heat-treated soymilk at 10$0^{\circ}C$ were centrifuged at the range of 830~29,900xg for 30 min and 11,200xg was found to be proper for determination of the degree of protein denaturation by centrifugal method. When soymilk was heated at 70~10$0^{\circ}C$ for 30~240 min, soluble nitrogen (QA SN) in supernatant of protein was decreased to 78.0~56.8% due to protein denaturation. Most of heat denaturation of protein was found to be occurred during Initial heating 10$0^{\circ}C$ for all mixed cow-soy milk. The sedimentation of SN was maximum at pH 4.0 In the range of pH 3~8. Addition of sucrose affected little on oASN while calcium addition reduced %SN significantly to approx. 55% for soymilk(100%). The effect of Ca was less as the ratio of cow milk increased.

This paper reviews various bulk-type cloud microphysics parameterizations (BCMPs). BCMP, predicting the moments of size distribution of hydrometeors, parameterizes the grid-resolved cloud and precipitation processes in atmospheric models. The generalized gamma distribution is mainly applied to represent the hydrometeors size distribution in BCMPs. BCMP can be divided in three different methods such as single-moment, double-moment, and triple-moment approaches depending on the number of prognostic variables. Single-moment approach only predicts the hydrometeors mixing ratio. Double-moment approach predicts not only the hydrometeors mixing ratio but also the hydrometeors number concentration. Triple-moment approach predicts the dispersion parameter of hydrometeors size distribution through the prognostic reflectivity, together with the number concentrations and mixing ratios of hydrometeors. Triple-moment approach is the most time expensive method because it has the most number of prognostic variables. However, this approach can allow more flexibility in representing hydrometeors size distribution relative to single-moment and double-moment approaches. At the early stage of the development of BMCPs, warm rain processes were only included. Ice-phase categories such as cloud ice, snow, graupel, and hail were included in BCMPs with prescribed properties for densities and sedimentation velocities of ice-phase hydrometeors since 1980s. Recently, to avoid fixed properties for ice-phase hydrometeors and ad-hoc category conversion, the new approach was proposed in which rimed ice and deposition ice mixing ratios are predicted with total ice number concentration and volume.

In the shallow coastal area, located off the northwestern Taean Peninsula of the eastern Yellow Sea, geoacoustic models with two layers were reconstructed for underwater acoustic experimentation and modeling. The Yellow Sea experienced glacio-eustasy sea-level fluctuations during Quaternary period. Coastal sedimentation in the Yellow Sea was characterized by alternating terrestrial and shallow marine deposits that reflected the fluctuating sea levels. The coastal geoacoustic models were based on data from piston, grab cores and the high-resolution 3.5 kHz, chirp seismic profiles (about 70 line-kilometers, respectively). Geoacoustic data of the cores were extrapolated down to 3 m in depth for geoacoustic models. The geoacoustic property of seafloor sediments is considered a key parameter for modeling underwater acoustic environments. For simulating actual underwater environments, the P-wave speed of the models was adjusted to in-situ depth below the sea floor using the Hamilton method. The proposed geoacoustic models could be used for submarine acoustic inversion and modeling in shallow-water environments of the study area.

Annual sediment deposition in reservoirs behind weirs poses flood risk, while its accurate prediction remains a challenge. Sediment management by hydraulic flushing is an effective method to maintain reservoir storage. In this study, an integrated approach to predict sediment inflow and sediment flushing simulation in reservoirs is presented. The annual sediment inflow prediction was carried out with Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) modelling. RESCON model was applied for quantification of sediment flushing feasibility criteria. The integrated approach was applied on Sangju Weir and also on estuary of Nakdong River (NREB). The mean annual sediment inflow predicted at Sangju Weir and NREB was 400,000 ㎥ and 170,000 ㎥, respectively. The sediment characteristics gathered were used to setup RESCON model and sediment balance ratio (SBR) and long term capacity ratio (LTCR) were used as flushing efficiency indicators. For Sangju Weir, the flushing discharge, Q_f = 140 ㎥/s with a drawdown of 5 m, and flushing duration, T_f = 10 days was necessary for efficient flushing. At NREB site, the parameters for efficient flushing were Q_f = 80 ㎥/s, T_f = 5 days, N = 1, El_f = 2.24 m. The hydraulic flushing was concluded feasible for sediment management at both Sangju Weir and NREB.
