  • Many of the world's large ecosystems are severely stressed due to population growth, water quality and quantity problems, vulnerability to flood and drought, and the loss of native species and cultural resources. Consequences of climate change further increase uncertainties about the future. These major societal challenges must be addressed through innovations in governance, policy, and ways of implementing management strategies. Science and engineering play a critical role in helping define possible alternative futures that could be achieved and the possible consequences to economic development, quality of life, and sustainability of ecosystem services. Science has advanced rapidly during the past decade with the emergence of science communities coalescing around 'Grand Challenges' and the maturation of how these communities function has resulted in large interdisciplinary research networks. An example is the River Experiment Center of KICT that engages researchers from throughout Korea and the world. This trend has been complemented by major advances in sensor technologies and data synthesis to accelerate knowledge discovery. These factors combine to allow scientific debate to occur in a more open and transparent manner. The availability of information and improved communication of scientific and engineering issues is raising the level of dialogue at the science-policy interface. However, severe challenges persist since scientific discovery does not occur on the same timeframe as management actions, policy decisions or at the pace sometimes expected by elected officials. Common challenges include the need to make decisions in the face of considerable uncertainty, ensuring research results are actionable and preventing science being used by special interests to delay or obsfucate decisions. These challenges are explored in the context of examples from the United States, including the California Bay-Delta system. California transfers water from the wetter northern part of the state to the drier southern part of the state through the Central Valley Project since 1940 and this was supplemented by the State Water Project in 1973. The scale of these activities is remarkable: approximately two thirds of the population of Californians rely on water from the Delta, these waters also irrigate up to 45% of the fruits & vegetables produced in the US, and about 80% of California's commercial fishery species live in or migrate through the Bay-Delta. This Delta region is a global hotspot for biodiversity that provides habitat for over 700 species, but is also a hotspot for the loss of biodiversity with more than 25 species currently listed by the Endangered Species Act. Understanding the decline of the fragile ecosystem of the Bay-Delta system and the potential consequences to economic growth if water transfers are reduced for the environment, the California State Legislature passed landmark legislation in 2009 (CA Water Code SS 85054) that established "Coequal goals of providing a more reliable water supply for California and protecting, restoring, and enhancing the Delta ecosystem". The legislation also stated that "The coequal goals shall be achieved in a manner that protects and enhances the unique cultural, recreational, natural resource, and agricultural values of the Delta as an evolving place." The challenges of integrating policy, management and scientific research will be described through this and other international examples.

  • 비포화 흐름에 관하 실험은 토양내 물의 이송특성을 밝히는 매우 중요한 의미를 가지고 있다. 하지만 Tensiometer와 같은 전통적인 측정방법은 비교적 길기 때문에 함수량이 급격하게 변하는 비정상류 비포화흐름을 측정하는데 상당한 어려움이 따른다. 본 연구에서는 TDR을 이용하여 이러한 문제를 해결할 수 있는 함수량 측정방법을 소개하고자 한다. TDR은 구형파를 발생시키는 함수방생기와 반향파를 분석하는 오실로스코프로 구성되어 있다. 토양속에 설치된 탐침을 지나는 구형파는 임피던수가 변하는 지점에서 반향되며 주변토양의 우전율상수 변화에 따라 전파속도가 달라지게 된다. 이 때 토양내 함수량은 함수량에 따른 반향시간특성을 이용하여 추정되어진다. TDR을 이용하는 함수량측정의 검증실험에 의하면 오븐 건조한 함수량에 대한 TDR측정 함수량의 오차율이 3.5% 이내 이었다. 따라서 TDR은 국내토양에 대한 비정상류 상태의 비포화흐름을 측정하는데 매우 훌륭한 실험장치로 판단된다.

  • Implementation of disease-warning systems often results in substantial reduction of spray frequency (Lorente et al., 2000; Madden et al., 2000). This change reduces the burden of pesticide sprays on the environment and can also delay the development of fungicide and bactericide resistance. To assess the risk of outbreaks of many foliar diseases, it is important to quantify leaf wetness duration(LWD) since activities of foliar pathogen depend on the presence of free water on host crop surface for sufficient periods of time to allow infection to occur.(omitted)

  • This study consolidation undrain Triaxial Compression Tests using constant confining pressure in clay that receive preconsolidation stress that is different and, void ratio, pore water pressure coefficient, shear strength compare with another thing theory and studied analyzing change relation of elastic modules. The summary of analysis is follows: If preconsolidation stress increases in same confining stress in relation of preconsolidation stress and deviator stress, deviator stress is proportional and increased. Can know that excess void pressure is proportional and decreases in size of preconsolidation stress in same confining stress state if preconsolidation stress increases preconsolidation stress and relation of excess void pressure. Also, over consolidated state can assume that this is thing by Dilatancy's effect though excess void pressure decreased remarkably. Preconsolidation stress and relation of stress path can know that shear strength degree increases preconsolidation stress increases, and specially, preconsolidation stress was appear in stress path form of overconsolidated state case of clay that receive at 300, 400, 500kPa in 100, 150kPa's deviator stress.

  • Maxwell-Displacement-Current(MDC) measuring technique has been applied to the study of monolayers of Dilauroylphosphatidylcholine (L-.alpha.-DLPC) and Dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (L-.alpha.-DMPC). The displacement current was generated from monolayers on a water surface by monolayer compression. Displacement current was generated when the area per molecule was about 250.angs.$^{2}$, 280.angs.$^{2}$. Displacement current was generated in the gas state, gas/liquid state, and liquid state in the course of monolayer compression. The orientational change of molecules in monolayers was discussed on the basis of the MDCs obtained. Finally, we measured differential thermal analysis of sample.

  • Incorporating nano-materials in thin-film composite (TFC) membranes has been considered to be an approach to achieve higher membrane performance in various water treatment processes. This study investigated the rejection efficiency of three target compounds, i.e., reserpine, norfloxacin and tetracycline hydrochloride, by TFC membranes with different graphene oxide proportions. Graphene oxide (GO) was incorporated into the polyamide active layer of a TFC membrane via an interfacial polymerization (IP) reaction. The TFC membranes were characterized with FTIR, FE-SEM, AFM; in addition, the water contact angle measurements as well as the permeation and separation performance were evaluated. The prepared GO-TFC membranes exhibited a much higher flux ($3.11{\pm}0.04L/m2{\cdot}h{\cdot}bar$) than the pristine TFC membranes ($2.12{\pm}0.05L/m2{\cdot}h{\cdot}bar$) without sacrificing their foulant rejection abilities. At the same time, the GO-modified membrane appeared to be less sensitive to pH changes than the pure TFC membrane. A significant improvement in the anti-fouling property of the membrane was observed, which was ascribed to the favorable change in the membrane's hydrophilicity, surface morphology and surface charge through the addition of an appropriate amount of GO. This study predominantly improved the understanding of the different PA/GO membranes and outlined improved industrial applications of such membranes in the future.

  • Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) have emerged to combine the advantages of polymeric nanoparticles and lipid emulsions in early 1990s. SLNs can present several desirable properties derived from the solid state core. When formulating SLNs, there should be careful considerations about the physical state of the inner solid lipid core and its polymorphism and supercooling behavior. In this review, SLNs were compared to lipid emulsion and emulsion of supercooled melt to understand the unusual behaviors compared to lipid emulsions and to have insights into stability and release mechanism. SLNs have been regarded as biocompatible system because lipids are usually well-tolerable ingredients than polymers. Several studies showed good tolerability of SLNs in terms of cytotoxicity and hemolysis. Similar to various other nanoparticulate drug delivery systems, SLNs can also change biodistribution of the incorporated drugs in a way to enhance therapeutic effect. Most of all, large scale production of SLNs was extablished wihtout using organic solvents. Although there is no SLN product in the market till date, several advantagious properties of SLNs and the progress we have seen so far would make commercial product of SLNs possible before long and encourage research community to apply SLN-based formulations for water-insoluble drugs.

  • The $4^{th}$ Industry Revolution was advocated by Klaud Schwab who is founder of World Economic Forum at the Davos Forum in 2016, and there are big differences on ICT based $4^{th}$ Industry revolution in the aspects of speed, scope and impact compared with the 3rd Industry revolution. Creating new industries and values through technology such as internet of things, cloud, big data, and artificial intelligence are included in the meaning of The $4^{th}$ industry revolution. In this article, the direction of change to water technology in response to the $4^{th}$ Industry revolution is surveyed. 4G Water Infra should minimize environmental impact under the consideration of sustainable development and advanced technologies. To solve the existing water infra problems, it is common and fundamental that the intake water from nature can be regarded as borrowed from nature and it should be returned to natural state with improved water quality. Government, academic organizations and industries should prepare and collaborate together in order to help our country with outstanding capabilities in infrastructure construction and ICT to lead the 4G water technology development.

  • We experimented on growth in light and production of hydrogen and organic matters in dark fermentation by using C. reinhardtii. In the light, growth rate of C. reinhardtii following $CO_2$ fixation was proportional to consumption rate of nitrogen source. And the starch in cell was accumulated more when the period of culture was lengthened more. But the accumulation rate of starch in cell was decreased when the growth rate of cell become dull. In the dark fermentation, the production volume and production rate of hydrogen were the highest value in the mid exponential state among other states. The utilization efficiency of substrate was better in the early exponential state than other states. In production of organic matters, acetic acid didn't change remarkably and ethanol showed the highest value in early exponential state.
