The objective of this research was to evaluate the growth performance, the apparent ileal digestibility of nitrogen and energy, the retention of nutrients and the apparent metabolizable energy corrected to zero nitrogen retention (AMEn) in broiler chickens supplemented with increasing doses of a worm leachate (WL) as a source of humic substances (HS) in the drinking water. In Exp. 1, 140 male broilers were penned individually and assigned to four WL levels (0%, 10%, 20%, and 30%) mixed in the drinking water from 21 to 49 days of age. Water was offered in plastic bottles tied to the cage. In Exp. 2, 600 male broilers from 21 to 49 days of age housed in floor pens were assigned to three levels of WL (0%, 10%, and 20%) mixed in the drinking water. The WL was mixed with tap water in plastic containers connected by plastic tubing to bell drinkers. The results of both experiments were subjected to analysis of variance and polynomial contrasts. In Exp. 1, the daily water consumption was similar among treatments but the consumption of humic, fulvic, and total humic acids increased linearly (p<0.01) as the WL increased in the drinking water. The feed conversion (p<0.01) and the ileal digestibility of energy, the excretion of dry matter and energy, the retention of dry matter, ash and nitrogen and the AMEn showed quadratic responses (p<0.05) relative to the WL levels in drinking water. In Exp. 2, the increasing level of WL in the drinking water had quadratic effects on the final body weight, daily weight gain and feed conversion ratio (p<0.05). The addition of WL as a source of HS in the drinking water had beneficial effects on the growth performance, ileal digestibility of energy, the retention of nutrients as well on the AMEn in broiler chickens; the best results were observed when the WL was mixed at levels of 20% to 30% in the drinking water.

The study was carried out to examine the distribution and survival rate of Listeria monocytogenes (L monocytogenes) from various source of waters using improved isolation method. In comparision of enrichment media for isolation of L monocytogenes from water, the isolation rate and 50% detection limit of the pathogen were higher in UVM modified Listeria enrichment broth (UVM) than Listeria enrichment broth (LEB). On the other hand, when compared the selective media for isolation of the pathogen from water, the isolation rate was highest in culture at Oxford agar followed by Fraser agar, and LEB agar. In order to improve enrichment method, 100 ml of water samples with 0.1 CFU/ml of L monocytogenes was inoculated into 10 ml of UVM concentrated at 10-fold, and incubated for 24 h at $36^{\circ}C$. Isolated frequency of the pathogens in improved enrichment method completely corresponded with common (filter) method. Of a total mumber of 147 water samples from river, lake and sea, the pathogen was isolated from 1 of 39 (2.6%) river water samples and 1 of 75 (1.3%) sea water samples, but no pathogen was isolated from 33 lake water samples. Serotypes of 2 isolates were identified as type 1. L monocytogenes decreased in number from 7.2-7.4 to 4.2-4.7 log CFU/ml for 1 week poststorage (5 and $20^{\circ}C$), but the pathogens were able to be detected in river and sea water until 8 weeks after storage. However, in tap water, L monocytogenes were decreased to undetectable level after 2 weeks of storage.

최근 지표수의 취수원 다변화 및 수질에 대한 불신 등으로 강변여과 개발에 관심이 모아지고 있다. 선진국에서의 강변여과 개발은 150년 정도의 역사를 가지고 있으며, 우리나라에서도 지속적으로 증가하고 있는 용수수요에 안정적으로 대처하기 위한 원수 확보방안으로 강변여과에 대한 조사가 1990년대부터 시작되었고, 현재 낙동강을 중심으로 몇몇 지자체에서는 강변여과를 활용한 상수도 공급이 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 지금까지는 강변여과에 의한 개발가능량 산정과 관정개발에 연구가 집중되어 개발가능지 선정에 관한 체계적인 연구가 이루어지지 않고 있는 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 게임이론을 활용한 강변여과 개발 적지선정에 대해 연구하였다. 게임이론은 수학적 분석이론의 하나로 사회과학(특히 경제학)과 생물학, 공학, 컴퓨터과학 등에 적용되고 있으며, 본 연구에서는 강변여과 개발을 위한 적정 후보지 결정에 이용되었다. 제안된 정책모형은 확률적 접근을 시도한 새로운 방법론이며, 적지선정을 위한 효율적인 분석이 가능한 것으로 나타났다.

비시장재의 변화에 의한 후생변화 측정치로서 쓰이는 지불의사(WTP)와 수용의사(WTA) 개념은 경제이론적으로는 소득효과가 크지 않다면 서로 크게 다르지 않을 것이라고 예측되고 있다. 그러나 실증분석결과들은 WTA 측정치가 WTP의 측정치보다 훨씬 큰 것으로 관찰되고 있다. 본 연구는 우리나라에서는 처음으로 실험시장접근법을 사용하여 비시장재의 하나인 먹는 물에 잔류가능성이 있는 유해물질(비소, 납, 트리할로메탄 중의 하나)로부터의 건강위험변화에 대한 WTP와 WTA를 측정하고 이 두 측정치에 차이가 존재하는지 실증적으로 분석하였다. 대학생들 15명씩의 참가자들을 대상으로 총 여섯 번의 실험시장을 개설하였다. 시장거래경험의 유무에 따른 차이를 검증하고자 사적 시장재인 캔디바 실험경매도 도입하였고, 반복경험에 따른 학습효과를 관찰하기 위하여 20번의 실험경매를 시도하였고, 정보제공효과를 관찰하기 위하여 10번째 경매 후에 객관적 건강위험에 관한 확률정보를 제공하였다. 시장재 비시장재의 구분없이 첫 번째 실험경매에서는 WTA가 통계적으로 유의하게 WTP를 초과하였다. 실험경매가 진행됨에 따라 사적 시장재는 WTA와 WTP의 차이가 사라지고 시장평균가격에 수렴하였다. 그러나 비시장재인 건강위험변화에 대한 결과는 혼재되어 있었다. 건강위험이 가장 큰 비소에 대해서는 건강위험 감소에 대한 WTP가 건강위험 증가에 대한 WTA보다 통계적으로 유의하게 적었다. 반면에 건강위험이 상대적으로 적은 납과 트리할로메탄에 대해서는 WTP와 WTA의 평균이 같다는 귀무가설을 기각할 수 없었다. 실험참가자들은 실험경매 중간에 제공된 건강위험정보에 대해 합리적으로 반응하였고, 실험경매가 진행됨에 따라 경험획득에 의한 학습효과도 긍정적이었다. WTP는 실험 초반에 학습효과가 주로 관찰된 반면에 WTA 측정치는 실험경매 후반에 학습효과가 관찰되었다.

BACKGROUND: Groundwater is believed to possess many beneficial effects due to its natural source of various minerals. In this study, we examined the effects of natural Jeju groundwater S1 (Samdasoo$^{TM}$), S2 and S3 pumped up from different locations of Jeju Island, Korea, along with local tap water, on body weight gain, serum lipids and lipoproteins, and liver histopathology in high-fat diet-induced hyperlipidemic rats. MATERIALS/METHODS: Rats were randomly and equally divided into 6 groups. Different water samples were supplied to the hyperlipidemic rats as their daily drinking water and the widely-used anti-hyperlipidemic drug simvastatin was used as a positive control. Body weight, serum lipids and lipoproteins were measured weekly. Liver weight, liver index and liver histopathology were examined after the execution of the rats. RESULTS: After drinking Jeju groundwaters for two months, S2 but not S3 significantly reduced weight growth and serum triglycerides levels and increased high density lipoprotein-C (HDL-C) without affecting total cholesterol or LDL-C. S1 and particularly S2 significantly reduced the severity of liver hypertrophy and steatosis. All Groundwaters had much higher contents of vanadium (S3>S2>S1>>tap water) whereas S1 and S2 but not S3 markedly blocked autoxidation of ferrous ions. CONCLUSION: Jeju Groundwater S1 and particularly S2 exhibit protective effects against hyperlipidemia and fatty liver and hypothesize that the beneficial effect of Jeju Groundwaters may be contributed from blockade of autoxidation of ferrous ions rather than their high contents of vanadium.

Recent reports indicate that shorter etching times than 60 seconds can be adopted without affecting the bond strength and clinical disadvantages. The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the shear bone strength and to measure depth of etch at different etching time length. One hundred and eight extracted bovine lower central incisors were embedded each in a tooth cup with cold-cure acrylic resin. The facial surfaces of the teeth were ground wet with 600-, 800-, 1000-, and 1200-grit Sic papers, and finally polished with a water slurry of extrafine silicon carbide powder, washed with tap water, and dried with hot air. Nine groups of nine prepared teeth were etched with a commercial($38\%$ phosphoric acid solution) for 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 60, 90, and 120 seconds, respectively, rinsed with tap water, and dried with hot air. One conditioned teeth from every group was selected randomly for the scanning electron microscopic examination, and the remaining eight teeth of the groups were used for measuring the push shear bond strength after bonding brackets and immensing them in the $36.5^{\circ}C$ water for 24 hours. Another nine groups of three teeth were used for measuring the depth of etch and surface roughness with a surface profilometer. after pieces of adhesive tape of 3mm inner diameter positioned on the ground enamel surfaces, and etched with the above mentioned. The data obtained form the above expeiments were analysed statistically with one way ANOVA and Dunkan's multiple range test with the $95\%$ confidence level. The results and conclusion of the study were as follows; 1. The results of shear bond strength for the given experimental etching times were not statistically different, but showed the tendency of decreasing shear bone strength after over 60 seconds etching times. 2. On the scanning election microscopic examination, it was observed that the morphological patterns of etched enamel surface for 5 to 20 seconds were similar and consitent, and those for 30 to 120 seconds showed increasing over-etched patterns depending on the length of etching times. 3. The depth of etch was increased almost proportionally by the length of etching times, but it was not associated with the shear bond strength. 4. The surface roughness increased depending on the length of etching times, but it was not associated with the shear bond strength. 5. This experiment indicated that proper etching time with $38\%$ phosphoric acid solution is in the range of 5 to 30 seconds.

본 연구에서는 오염된 무균포장밥으로부터 미생물의 분리 동정을 실시하고 AESS의 살균효과를 측정하였으며, 이를 취반수로 이용하여 취반미의 pH를 저하시킨 후 오염된 미생물의 사멸 및 생육억제 효과를 검토하였다. 오염된 3종의 시료로부터 총 6주의 오염미생물을 분리하여 생리화학적 방법에 의하여 5주의 Bacillus subtilis와 1주의 B. cereus로 동정하였다. 이 결과는 지방산 분석법에 의한 미생물동정기를 사용하여 확인하였다. AESS의 살균효과는 0.1% NaOCl 및 70% ethanol 용액의 그것과 유사하거나 보다 우수한 것으로 나타났으며, Bacillus spp.를 제외한 다른 시험미생물들은 5초간의 노출로 모두 사멸하였다. Bacillus spp.에 대해서는 AESS가 NaOCl이나 ethanole보다 우수한 살균 또는 성장 억제효과를 갖는 것으로 나타났으며, 5분간의 노출로 모두 사멸하였거나 성장 억제되었다. 또한 AESS를 취반수로 사용하면 pH $3.6{\sim}4.3$ 범위의 취반미를 얻을 수 있었으며, 제조된 밥의 pH는 저장기간 중 거의 변화를 보이지 않았다. 여기에 오염된 무균포장밥으로부터 분리된 Bacillus 균현탁액을 조제하여 접종 밀봉하고 $37^{\circ}C$에서 2주간 저장한 결과 수도수로 제조된 밥에서는 정상적인 성장을 나타냈으나, AESS로 제조된 밥에서는 오염 미생물들의 생육이 완전히 억제되었다.

Micropollutants emerge in surface water through untreated discharge from sewage and wastewater treatment plants (STPs and WWTPs). Most micropollutants resist the conventional systems in place at water treatment plants (WTPs) and survive the production of tap water. In particular, pharmaceuticals and endocrine disruptors (ECDs) are micropollutants frequently detected in drinking water. In this review, we summarized the distribution of micropollutants at WTPs and also scrutinized the effectiveness and mechanisms for their removal at each stage of drinking water production. Micropollutants demonstrated clear concentrations in the final effluents of WTPs. Although chronic exposure to micropollutants in drinking water has unclear adverse effects on humans, peer reviews have argued that continuous accumulation in water environments and inappropriate removal at WTPs has the potential to eventually affect human health. Among the available removal mechanisms for micropollutants at WTPs, coagulation alone is unlikely to eliminate the pollutants, but ionized compounds can be adsorbed to natural particles (e.g. clay and colloidal particles) and metal salts in coagulants. Hydrophobicities of micropollutants are a critical factor in adsorption removal using activated carbon. Disinfection can reduce contaminants through oxidation by disinfectants (e.g. ozone, chlorine and ultraviolet light), but unidentified toxic byproducts may result from such treatments. Overall, the persistence of micropollutants in a treatment system is based on the physico-chemical properties of chemicals and the operating conditions of the processes involved. Therefore, monitoring of WTPs and effective elimination process studies for pharmaceuticals and ECDs are required to control micropollutant contamination of drinking water.

This study aimed to develop a method to optimize residual chlorine concentrations in the process of providing water supply. To this end, this study developed a model capable of optimizing the chlorine input into the clearwell in the purification plant and the optimal installation location of rechlorination facilities, and chlorine input. This study applied genetic algorithms finding the optimal point with appropriate residual chlorine concentrations and deriving a cost-optimal solution. The developed model was applied to SN purification plant supply area. As a result, it was possible to meet the target residual chlorine concentration with the minimum cost. Also, the optimal operation method in target area according to the water temperature and volume of supply was suggested. On the basis of the results, this study derived the most economical operational method of coping with water pollution in the process of providing water supply and satisfying the service level required by consumers in the aspects of cost effectiveness. It is considered possible to appropriately respond to increasing service level required by consumers in the future and to use the study results to establish an operational management plan in a short-term perspective.
