This study performed in order to evaluate the effects of pipe materials on corrosion and bacteria regrowth using a laboratory scale batch test. Two varieties of feed water with different microbial conditions were selected: tap water, surface river water (Han River water), and five pipe materials; carbon steel, copper, galvanized iron, stainless steel, and PVC. Carbon steel and galvanized iron pipes showed higher corrosion rates than other materials. In terms of attached bacterial growth, pipes with PVC and stainless steel showed higher bacteria concentration compared to other materials. Pseudomonas vesicularis was the predominant bacteria found on biofilm. The behavior of bacterial growth in the pipes was observed using a scanning electron microscope.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of an empowerment program, using horticultural therapy among the elderly clients of an In-Home Service Center at a Community Social Welfare Center. The empowerment program applied in this study included group horticultural activities, garden activities, home horticultural activities, selling the products and a self-help group. This program had 49 sessions in total and was held from April 2004 to February 2005. The results of this research are as follows. According to the results of the pre-, mid-term, and post-test, there were significant improvements among the subjects who participated in the horticultural therapy program, especially in terms of intrapersonal empowerment, and interpersonal empowerment of self-esteem of the elderly using In-Home Services. Through using those common and familiar sources of horticultural materials, what the elderly found is the fact that they have the ability to create and raise plants of their own and to utilize this ability in their lives. Thus, it can be said that horticultural therapy program is helpful to empower the elderly in terms of developing their potentials in productivity and encourages them to utilize and maintain their horticultural skills and productivity in their lives.

This study was carried out to investigate apprehension and application of a group work in 38 horticultural therapists and pre-horticultural therapists. Inquiring performance score of group work for objects took 76 percents among upper grades about apprehension of group and an individual, least of things took over 30 percents in upper grades. Performance of those groups work for objects results are shown by high performance score. Scrutinizing score of the achievements of group work, depend on field experience, over one year working groups took the high score than in other group. In accordance with experience growing largely, the score of the group work grows with significance at .00 (<α=.05). 76 percents of objects has not enlightened professionally and then 74 percents of objects felt that they need a professional education of group work.

방사성폐기물 시료 중 Am 과 Cm 을 정량하기 위하여 음이온교환수지 및 DTPA-lactic acid 용리액을 사용하는 HDEHP 추출크로마토그래피로 이들 핵종을 분리하였다 분리된 핵종은 황산염 매질에서 전착한 다음 알파분광분석법으로 각 핵종의 방사능을 측정하였다. 모의 시료용액 중 Am 및 Cm 을 측정한 결과 각각 85.2 및 86.3 의 회수율을 나타내었다. 본 방법을 방사성 농축폐액 시료에 적용하여 Am 과 Cm 을 정량한 결과 각각 1.5-1.9 Bq/g 및 -1.7 Bq/g 의 방사능 값을 나타내었다.

An agricultural land application of swine slurry is one of the best management practices in Jeju island whose ground water must be protected. So as to study the effect of appling swine slurry on ground water or aquifer, incubation-leaching technique was used by assuming the incubating period of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32 days, and application rate of 3200.0㎎T-N/ℓ, 820.0㎎T-P/ℓ, and 1887.0㎎K+/ℓin swine slurry. The leachates were collected from the soil columns(PVC 30cmL×5.5cmD) packed 15cm in depth with Gangjeong soil series by washing with 100mL distilled water. The leached components were measured by using Ion chromatography for Cl-, NO3-N, F-, Br-, Na+, K+, Ca2+, and Mg2+, atomic absorption spectrophotometry for Fe and Mn, and UV-Vis spectrophotometry for T-N and T-P. Application of swine slurry in naked soil could influence on the ground water or aquifer by increasing nitrate-nitrogen in leachate with time, or leaching the cations present in soils in accompany with anions because of H+ produced in nitrification. Therefore, careful consideration should be taken about what amount, when, where, and how for protecting ground water system.

흘란다이트 터널 구조내의 A자리 양이온인 Ba2+ 이온을 K+ 이온이 치환하면서 결정의 구조에 어떠한 변화가 있는지 알아보기 위해 K-Ba 전구간 완전고용체로 치환된 7개의 합성 흘란다이트형 광물(K2x Ba1 -x/Cr2Ti6 O16 , x=0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9, 1.0)에 대하여 X선 회절분석과 리트벨트 구조분석법을 실시하였다. 리트벨트 계산 결과, 구조의 정밀도를 나타내는 R 지수값을 보면 Rexp에 대한 Rwp 값(Rwp /Rexp )은 15.77%/20.90%~14.74%/l9.37%의 범위를 보여주며, RB 값은 6.45~8.97%, S (GofF)값은 1.45~l.63으로 각각 계산되었다. 합성 홀란다이트는 K-Ba 전구간에서 Ba의 함량에 관계없이 모두 공간군 14/m을 가지며, 단위포의 크기는 a=10.1194(2) ~ 10.0599(2)a, c=2.9572(6)~2.9512(7)a, V=302.75~298.66a3의 범위를 보여주며, K 함량이 50% 이상에서는 금홍석이 부산물로 합성되었다. 그 결과 A자리의 Ba와 K의 치환관계에서는 비록 단위포의 크기에 일정한 변화를 보여주었으나 구조적 변이에 영향을 주기에는 충분치 않은 것으로 밝혀졌다. 따라서 정방정계에서 대칭성이 낮은 단사정계로의 구조적 변이는 A자리에 대한 K-Ba 치환보다는 다른 양이온의 치환이나 B자리의 치환 등 다른 요인에 의할 것으로 생각된다.다.
