These studies were conducted to investigate the changes and relation in protein, rheology and bread-mating properties during hard and soft wheat maturation. Samples were collected from the fields at 25 to 50 days after heading at intervals of 5 days. Protein content, sedimentation value and Pelshenke value of the tested wheat kernel or flour differed significantly between hard and soft wheat, and was relatively constant at 35 to 40 days after heading in each cultivar. In Mixogram water absorption of the flour, soft wheat increased only slightly, while intermediate and hard wheat increased remarkedly with maturation of the kernel. Total Mixogram characteristics increased and reached its maximum level at 35 days after heading. Farinogram pattern and bread loaf volume of the flour was greatly differences at the early stages of development due to cultivar, and was relatively constant at 40 days after heading. Significant positive and negative correlations were obtained among the protein and rheological properties, and tread loaf volume as the kernel matured.

This research was conducted as a part of continuous development of a bioprocess to treat thiocyanate($SCN^-$) in the leachate from an industrial landfill site. Detailed characteristics of the leachate, physical and chemical, was analyzed in this study. Time to reach equilibrium in $SCN^-$ degradation at different temperature, similar to the annual variation. was investigated for posssible adaptation of the bioprocess in the treatment site. Complete mineralization of $SCN^-$ to ammonia. bicarbonate and sulfate at all temperature range with except $5^{\circ}C$ trial was observed with different time elapsed to reach equilibrium. which shortened as the process of Fill-Draw proceeded. The final metabolites were mainly nitrate and sulfate. No fouling odor was detected and the settling characteristic of the biomass after the treatment was good(i.e., sludge volume index(SVI) ${\le}$80). Using MWT sludge as an inoculum showed better performance with respect to the elapsed time for treatment and sedimentation characteristics than those of using 2BET sludge.

This paper was made to evaluate the effect of the type of latex for coating on the printability by investigating the structure of pore such as the pore fraction, the number of pores, pore size and distribution of coated paper. The coated structure is mainly depend on the results of interaction between pigment and binder. It means that the structure of pore formed is chiefly affected by the type of latex. This physical properties of pore have a close relation with ink set-off associated with the drying rate, the speed of penetration of ink into base paper and printing gloss. Therefore it was necessary to find out the relationship between pore structure and the performance of printability by modifying the type of latex to vary the pore structure of coated paper. Acrylic latex was superior to S/B latex in the sedimentation volume, compressibility, smoothness, pore fraction and its number, the weight of transferred ink onto the coated paper and ink repellance. In contrast, water retention and ink setting were not good. in the comparison of anionic and amphoteric latex, amphoteric latex showed better performance in the thickness, smoothness, pore fraction and its number, pore size, the weight of ink transmitted and K&N ink receptivity, etc.

This study was carried out to determine the ways in which drying improves and develops dredged soils which exist widely in the lowlands of Korea. Before drying there were large variations in the fundamental physico-chemical properties of dredged soils collected from different places. In the sample soils, saturated hydraulic conductivity decreased gradually with an increase in bulk density with the exception that in air-dried soils a reverse trend was observed. Also in the sample soils, the sedimentation volume and the consistency limits decreased gradually with the decrease in soil water content after the air-drying treatment. The porosity of the sample soils decreased from $0.67{\sim}0.87m^3/m^3\;to\;0.58{\sim}0.66m^3/m^3$ and the liquid-phase range decreased from $0.41{\sim}0.83m^3/m^3\;to\;0.29{\sim}0.71m^3/m^3$. The solid-phase range of sample soils increased $0.13{\sim}0.33m^3/m^3\;to\;0.24{\sim}0.37m^3/m^3$ same as above with air-drying treatment. In conclusion the air-drying treatment caused an irreversible effect on some physical properties. Accordingly, these facts indicate that the effects of air-drying treatment on these properties are considered to be resulted from irreversible changes in the structural status of the sample soils.

The Yellow River Basin located in the Northern part of China is well-known not only as the seriously limited water sources but the greatest sediment-carrying stream in the world. The observed annual average sediment concentration in this area is $37.6kg/\textrm{mm}^3$, and 3.1% of the water volume is occupied by sediments. Due to the reason, water development has been extremely limited and it has been appeared as one of the most difficult problems in reservoir development and management. The major obstacle to surface water uses is reservoir sedimentation so that it has been strongly requested to seek the method managing sediment by optimal fashion. To solve this problem, KOWACO (Korea Water Resources Corporation) has developed various methods on the optimal reservoir management schemes including sediment management for the Upper Fenhe Basin Reservoir System at the cooperation project with Chinese. Information Variable Dynamic Programming. which is one of them, was developed for the reservoir sediment management and a set of non-dominated solutions are generated to choose the best alternative in water supply and reservoir sediment objective problem.

Single beam echo sounding was used to delineate bathymetry sea bottom in the area of hydrography and marine navigation. This research was aimed at measuring the thickness of floating silty clay sediment with dual frequencies echo sounding system. There occur discrepancies in penetrating depth through sea beds between high frequency(200 KHz) and low(33 KHz) frequency. RI density logging was employed to characterize the floating silty clay sediment of Guangyang bay, which was chosen to investigate the proposed site for reclamation field. The volume of floating silty clay sediment was used to design by estimating size of reclamation site. The estimation strategies developed in this study will be readily applicable to measure the Pattern of sedimentation via regular hydrographic survey in the future.

Some pretreatment methods have been proposed to enhance the biodegradability and to shorten the hydrolysis reaction time. By means of efficient pretreatment the suspended solids (SS) can be made of better accessible for the anaerobic bacteria. There are several ways how this can be accomplished, which include biological, mechanical, thermal, and chemical methods. For the sludge solubilization using the cavitation phenomenon, we have tried to develop a pretreatment process consisted of a reactor and pumps. The objectives of this study were to develop a advanced wastewater treatment consisted of IABR and the cavitation with PGA. The most effective removal for organic matter and nutrients were occured when both cavitation pretreatment and ${\gamma}$-PGA were applied at the IABR process. Only small portion of ${\gamma}$-PGA at a rate of 1.38mg/L, was enough to improve sedimentation ability, SS removal efficiencies, and sludge volume reduction. After the sludge solubilization by the cavitation, SCOD increased to 193% and SS decreased to 36%. The removal ratio of BOD was 94.5%, T-N removal ratio was 85.5% and T-P removal ratio was 84.9%. The combination process of the IABR with the cavitation and PGA addition seems to be very effective alternative wastewater treatment process.

Flour physicochemical properties of six Korean waxy wheat lines and their parental plants, including Kanto 107 and BaiHuo, which have partially null in GBSS (granule bound starch synthase), were evaluated in this study. The very low amylose content (3.20%) of Korean waxy wheat lines, which had been influenced by the null in all three GBSS isoforms encoded by three Wx loci, could result in the higher starch swelling power (25.15%), lower starch and flour pasting temperature (61.37$^{\circ}C$; 65.85$^{\circ}C$), and higher starch pasting peak viscosity and breakdown (246.60 RVU; 161.50 RVU) than those of their parental plants. In addition to high swelling and pasting properties, Korean waxy wheat lines had the higher protein content (12.80%), alkaline water retention capacity (97.39%), SDS sedimentation volume (80.33 $m\ell$) and damaged starch content (4.35 %) than those of their parental plants.

The disposal of stormwater is one of the major problems in urban water management. One method of reducing peak runoff rates and other detrimental impacts of stormwater is detention storage. Detention ponds as a water quality control alternatives have been investigated by a number of researchers. Recognizing multiple roles such as flood peak attenuation, pollution removal and aesthetic enhancement, the design and management of detentions ponds deserve more research. The purpose of this research is to establish design criteria wet detention ponds to improve water quality. Water quality in detention pond discharge might be improve with physical, chemical and biological alterations. Physical alteration was focused in this study. There are several methods for estimating the suspended solid control capability of wet detention ponds. Existing models of suspended solids removal are based on sedimentation and gravity settling theory. The pollutant trap efficiency of pond is a function of several interrelating factors. Detention time is the most important factor, because it determine gravity settling quantities of pollutants. Desirable modification of physical factors for improvement of water quality in wet detention ponds are volume ratio, area ratio, length to width ratio, depth, out let location, bottom soil type. In order to apply design procedure in actual site, Namak new town development area was selected.

Settling velocity is one of major parameters determining algal biomass in water quality modeling. In this study, the settling velocity of phytoplankton was measured in reservoir and stream sites of the Nakdong River, Korea. Settling velocities of various phytoplankton species were determined by measuring algal cell biomass settled in a sedimentation cylinder. Mean settling velocities were $0.22m\;day^{-1}$ in reservoir sites and $0.33m\;day^{-1}$ in stream sites, which were relatively higher compared with other default values suggested by water quality models (e.g. $0.1m\;day^{-1}$ in CE-QUAL-W2). The lower settling velocity in reservoirs than in stream implies the adaptation of phytoplakton to low turbulence in lentic environments. Cyanobacteria showed lower settling velocity ($0.2m\;day^{-1}$) than diatoms ($0.3m\;day^{-1}$), and this phenomenon may have resulted from buoyancy mechanisms of cyanobacteria. Cell volume did not show a significant correlation with settling velocity in this study, implying that conformation factors of colonies or other factors had large effects on settling velocity of algal cells as well as cell size. The result of this study may suggest proper coefficients of settling velocity of phytoplankton in the calibration of water quality model.
