The dissolved air at the bottom layer of the deep aeration tank transforms into fine gas bubbles within the MLSS (Mixed Liquor Suspended Solid) floc when exposed to the atmosphere. MLSS floc flotation occurs when MLSS from the deep aeration tank enters the secondary clarifier for solid-liquid separation, as dissolved air becomes fine air within the MLSS floc. The floated MLSS floc causes a high SS (Suspended Solid) concentration in the secondary effluent. The fine air bubbles within the MLSS floc must be removed to achieve stable sedimentation in the secondary clarifier. Fine bubbles within the MLSS floc can be removed by air sparging. The settleability of MLSS was measured by sludge volume indexes (SVIs) after air sparging MLSS taken at the end of the deep aeration tank. MLSS settling tests were performed at MLSS heights of 200, 300, 400, and 500 mm, and compressed air was fed at the bottom of the settling column with air flow rates of 100, 300, and 500 ml/min at each MLSS height, respectively. Also, at each height and air flow rate, air was sparged for 3, 5, and 7 minutes, respectively. SVI was determined for each height, air flow rate, and sparging time, respectively. Experimental results showed that a 300 mm MLSS height, 300 ml/min air flow rate, and 3 minutes of sparging time were the least conditions to achieve less than 120 ml/g of SVI, which was the criterion for good MLSS settling in the secondary clarifier.

As aeration is an energy-intensive process, its control has become more important to save energy and to meet strict effluent limits. In this study, predictive aeration control based on the respirometric method has been applied to the sequencing batch reactor (SBR) process. The variation of the respiration rate by nitrification was great and obvious, so it could be a very useful parameter for the predictive aeration control. The maximum respiration rate due to nitrification was about 60 mg O2/L‧h and the maximum specific nitrification rate was about 7.5 mg N/g MLVSS‧h. The aeration time of the following cycle of the SBR was daily adjusted in proportion to that which was previously determined based on the sudden decrease of respiration rate at the end of nitrification in the respirometer. The aeration time required for nitrification could be effectively predicted and it was closely related to influent nitrogen loadings. By the predictive aeration control the aerobic period of the SBR has been optimized, and energy saving and enhanced nitrogen removal could be obtained.

This study aimed to evaluate the characteristic differential between whole cabbage kimchi (pogi kimchi) and sliced cabbage kimchi (mat kimchi) during kimchi fermentation at 6oC. The difference of microbial and physicochemical properties was investigated until 6 weeks. For the changes in the microbial flora, both kimchi samples exhibited a continuous increase in total aerobic bacteria and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) population size up to 2 weeks followed by a stationary phase until 5 weeks. Interestingly, the number of LAB of mat kimchi was overall higher than that of pogi kimchi during kimchi fermentation. We speculate that mat kimchi has in a more advantageous growth condition than pogi kimchi for microbial growth because small kimchi cabbage size appropriately derives nutritional supply in order to increase the LAB growth. During lactic fermentation at 6oC, physicochemical changes in the pH, salinity, and titratable acidity was observed to be no significant differences between two types of kimchi. Furthermore the contents of organic acids such as oxalic acid, citric acid, malic acid, lactic acid, fumaric acid, and acetic acid was not significantly different (p>0.05) between both kimchi samples as well as the contents of total free amino acid.

As the sequencing batch reactor process is a time-oriented system, it has advantages of the flexibility in operation for the biological nutrient removal. Because the sequencing batch reactor is operated in a batch system, respiration rate is more sensitive and obvious than in a continuous system. The variation of respiration rate in the process well represented the characteristics of biological reactions, especially nitrification. The respiration rate dropped rapidly and greatly with the completion of nitrification, and the maximum respiration rate of nitrification showed the activity of nitrifiers. This study suggested a strategy to control the aeration of the sequencing batch reactor based on respirometry. Aeration time of the optimal aerobic period required for nitrification was daily adjusted according to the dynamics of respiration rate. The aeration time was mainly correlated with influent nitrogen loadings. The anoxic period was extended through aeration control facilitating a longer endogenous denitrification reaction time. By respirometric aeration control in the sequencing batch reactor, energy saving and process performance improvement could be achieved.

30 LMH의 정유량 플럭스로 운전하는 MBR에서, 휴지 및 역세정에 따른 한외여과 분리막의 오염을 조사하였다. 또한, 연속적인 공기세정과 비교하여 분리막 여과저항을 최소화하기 위한 간헐적인 공기세정을 평가하였다. 여과 조건은 14.5분 여과와 0.5분의 휴지를 유지하였으며, 역세정 시간은 휴지 시간과 동일하게 운전하였다. 공기세정이 정지하는 동안에 분리막 표면의 겔층 위에 케잌이 빠르게 축척되었으며, 역세정으로 겔층과 케잌층의 복합층은 쉽게 제거되었다. 역세정 후에 공기세정이 정지하는 동안 분리막 표면에 케잌이 형성되어 공경 내부의 오염현상을 억제하였다. Pearson 상관성을 조사한 결과, 간헐적인 공기세정에서 공기 세정이 정지하는 시간과 분리막의 오염은 매우 연관성이 높다는 것을 알았다. 즉, 간헐적인 세정에서 공기세정이 정지하는 시간이 갈수록 오염억제에 효과적이었다.

베른협약에서는 저작인격권의 포기에 대해 명문으로 금지하고 있지 않다. 따라서 저작인격권 포기는 각국에서 입법으로 규정되어 있거나, 명문의 규정이 없는 경우에는 해석에 맡겨져 있다. 영미법계에서 저작인격권 포기의 명문 규정은 일종의 불협화음을 해소하기 위한 입법적 의도라고 해석될 수 있다. 반면 대륙법계에서 탄생하고 발전한 저작인격권은 ‘일신전속성’이라는 개념적 울타리에서 ‘포기’와는 친숙하지 않았다. 그러나 이러한 기준이 무색할 만큼 각국의 입법 태도는 다양하고, 이는 저작인격권의 포기에 관한 논의에서 보다 유연한 사고가 필요하다는 점을 시사한다. 우리 학설은 저작인격권의 일신전속성에 비추어 저작인격권은 포기될 수 없다는 견해가 다수설이다. 그러나 저작인격권의 자연권성을 부정하거나, 저작인격권의 특수성을 긍정하는 입장에서 저작인격권의 포기성을 긍정하는 소수설이 제기되고 있다. 저작인격권은 저작물을 매개로하는 인격적 이익을 보호한다는 점에서 성명권, 명예권, 초상권 등과 완전히 구분되는 별개의 권리라고 보기 어렵다. 그리고 비포기성은 저작인격권의 본질을 해하지 않는 범위 내에서 유동적으로 해석될 수 있는 개념이다. 결국 저작인격권의 본질이 인격적 이익 보호에 있다면, 반대로 저작자의 인격적 이익을 훼손하지 않은 범위 내의 저작인격권 포기는 인정됨이 타당하다.

근래 인문학은 과학기술의 발전, 진화생물학의 도전, 본질주의에 대한 회의에 직면하여 인간이란 무엇인가를 다시 질문하고 있다. 신학적 인간학(Theological Anthropology) 역시 같은 도전에 직면하여 신학의 기본 개념들, 신의 이미지로 창조된 인간, 죄, 은혜의 개념들을 다시 성찰하고 있다. 대다수는 더 이상 고정된 교리나 교권에 매이지 않고, 대체로 사랑하는 인간 존재, 관계적 존재성에 기반하여 인간에 대한 새로운 정의를 시도한다. 한강은 '채식주의자'에서 인간이란 무엇인가를 질문한다. 모든 작품에 걸쳐 한강이 탐구하는 이 질문은 '채식주의자'에서 인간이란 사랑하는 자, 그러나 사랑에 실패하는 자, 그럼에도 계속 사랑하는 자로 형상화된다. 영혜는 지고의 사랑을 마침내 성취하는 영웅이 아니라, 궁극적 사랑, 폭력 없는 완전성을 성애(性愛)와 식물적 삶에 두고 추구하다 결국 자신을 파괴하고 타인을 파괴하는 데 이르는 영락 없는 실패자다. 본 논문은 채식의 저항적 의미에만 치중하였던 기존 논문들의 공백을 메우고, 작품의 의미를 사랑과 실패에 두어 새롭게 해석하고자 했다.

이식된 포기거머리말의 현장 적응성을 알아보기 위해 철사고정법으로 포기거머리말을 이식후 이식된 개체(이식구)와 인근 자연군락 포기거머리말 (대조구)의 밀도, 형태적 특성과 생산성의 변화를 약 2년간 조사하였다. 대조구에서는 봄 여름에 증가하고 가을 겨울에 감소하는 밀도변화를 보였으나, 이식구에서는 조사기간 동안 지속적으로 증가하였으며, 초기 밀도감소가 나타나지 않았다. 엽초 길이, 잎 폭, 개체 길이와 엽초, 잎, 개체의 무게는 이식초기에는 대조구에 비해 이식구에서 감소하는 경향이 보였으나 약 5개월 후부터는 대조구와 이식구가 유사해졌다. 잎 생산성도 대조구와 이식구 모두 봄 여름에 증가하고 가을 겨울에 감소하는 뚜렷한 계절 경향을 보였으나, 이식초기 이식구의 개체 잎 생산은 생산성이 낮은 가을인데도 불구하고 증가하였다. 철사고정법으로 이식된 포기거머리말은 개체의 유실이 없었고, 형태적 특성으로 보아 약 5개월의 현장적응기간을 소요하는 것으로 판단된다.

폭기조를 간헐 폭기로 운전하여 호기/무산소(oxic/anoxic) 시간 비율과 무산소 조건에서 호기 조건으로의 전환시 공기세정이 투과플럭스 및 투과압력에 미치는 영향을 조사하였으며, 호기조건에서 무산소 조건으로 전환 시 펌프의 회전력에 의한 흡인압력이 투과플럭스와 투과 압력에 주는 영향을 조사하였다. 또한 긴 슬러지체류시간(SRT; Sludge Retention Time)과 고농도의 MLSS 유지시에 발생하는 미생물 대사산물이 분리막에 미치는 영향과 응집제를 투여하였을 때 분리막에 작용하는 플러스 효과에 대하여 조사하여 보았다. 호기/무산소(oxic/anoxic)의 시간비율에 따른 유기물 및 질소 제거효율을 조사해본 결과 폭기 40 비폭기 20분의 시간배분 조건에서 처리효율이 가장 양호하였으므로 호기/무산소(oxic/anoxic) 조건을 40/20분으로 한 조건(step-7)에서 약품주입 실험을 수행하였다. 액체 명반을 폭기조에 직접 투여할 경우 약품의 농도가 질산화 및 탈질 미생물에 많은 영향을 주는 것을 알 수 있었으며, MBR공정에서 인 1 mg/L를 제거하기 위해서는 약 0.7 mg/L의 액체명반이 필요한 것으로 확인되었다.

The present study investigated the effect of treatment with nocodazole on the efficiency of cell cycle synchronization and development of mouse 4-cefl embryos. In addition, developmental ability of reconstituted embryos that received nuclei from 4-cell embryos synchronized with nocodazole at M phase was examined in vitro and in vivo. (1) When 4-cell blastorneres exposed to culture medium containing lg /ml nocodazole for 2, 4, 6 and 8 hrs, 40% (40/10l), 75% (l19/159), 85% (87/102) and 97% (155/160) of nuclei were synchronized at M phase, respectively. (2) Treated with nocodazole for 4 hrs, the proportion of 4-cell embryos developed to blastocysts (98%, 60/61) was not significanUy different from that of the control embryos (98%, 196/201). However, the developmental ability of 4-cell embryos treated for 8 (87%, P<0.05)and 12 hrs (76%, P

This study was carried out to select the best cryoprotectant and to establish optimal concentration of the cryoprotectant in ultrarapid freezing of mouse 4-cell embryos and morulae, respectively. We investigated survival of ultrarapid frozen embryos according to various cryoprotectants such as glycerol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). Suvival of the embryos frozen at different concentrations (3.0, 4.0 and 5.0 M) of indivisual cryoprotectant was also tested. Preimplantation developmental rate (96.3%, 83/86) of 4-cell mouse embryos treated with 4.0 M ethylene glycol after ultrarapid freezing and thawing was higher than those of other cryoprotectants (glycerol, propylene glycol and DMSO). In the ultrarapid freezing of mouse morulae, the highest developmental rate (98.8%, 89 /90) of the embryos to blastocysts was shown in the group of 5.0 M glycerol. Thus, these results demonstrate that 4.0 M ethylene glycol and 5.0 M glycerol are optimal for ultrarapid freezing of 4-cell mouse embryos and morulae, respectively.

The efficient cryopreservation of embryos requires optimal times of dehydration and rehydration This study was carried out to investigate the effect of various times of dehydration and rehydration The effects were evaluated through testing morphological normality and developmental ability of 1 cell mouse embryos which were ultrarapidly frozen and thawed. The 1 cell embryos were dehydrated for 1.5, 3, 5, and 10 minutes using mPBS-BSA containing 3.SM DMSO and 0.25M sucrose on cooling chamber or on ice. After ultrarapidly frozen and thawed, they were rehydrated for 0, 0.5 and 5 minutes with mPBS-BSA containing 0.25M sucrose at room temperature. The results obtained were as follows: The embryos that were rehydrated for 0.5 minutes showed higher normality than the embryos for 0 and 5 minutes did. The embryos that were dehydrated for 10 minutes showed higher normality than the embryos for 1.5, 3, and 5 minutes did. The developmental ability of normal thawed-embryos was high in 10 minute dehydration treatment compared to other treatments. However, it was not affected by cooling methods (on ice and on cooling chamber) for embryo dehydration.

Cryopreservation of mouse embryos biopsied at 4-cell stage was investigated by ultrarapid freezing. Four-cell embryos were obtained from ICR mice on 55h after hCG injection. Zona pellucida of the embryos were partially dissected with a cutting pipet, and then single blastomeres were biopsied from the embryos followed by incubation in + and +-free M16 medium for 30min. Biopsied embryos cultured for lh or 15h were frozen by ultrarapid freezing method using 3M DMSO or 5M glycerol as a cryoprotectant, respectively. The developmental rate of biopsied embryos after ultrarapid freezing and thawing to blastocysts was 81 % in the group of biopsied embryos cultured for lb and 98% in the group of biopsied embryos cultured for 15h, respectively. When biopsied embryos after ultrarapid freezing and thawing were transferred to the uteri of pseudopregnant recipients, normal live young were born. These results suggest that this freezing method can efficiently cryopreserve biopsied mouse embryos.

This study investigated full-term development potential of ultrarap idly frozen and thawed mouse 2-cell embryos. Mouse 2-cell embryos, dehydrated by exposure to freezing medium, were directly immersed into liquid nitrogen and thawed in 37 water. The embryos that were frozen and thawed were cultured in uitro and transferred to foster mothers to examine there developmental potential. As a result, the frozen-thawed 2-cell embryos developed to blastocysts in vitro as a similar rate as control 2-cell embryos did(in vitro 2-cell, 86.4%; in vivo 2-cell, 90.9%; solution control, 89.9%; control, 89.7%). Normal live young were obtained from transfer of frozen-thawed embryos to the oviduct and uterus of pseudopregnant recipients (3l.4~56.7%).
