To verify the possibility of a power generation system using biogas from the waste of pig farm for rural electric production, a SI gasoline engine is modified to use biogas fuel and was installed in a 20 KVA power generation system. An electronic speed regulation unit is developed to keep the system speed at 1500 rpm. Experimental investigations have been carried out to examine the performance characteristics of power generation system (such as: system frequency, phase output voltage,$\ldots$). In addition, the operating parameters and output emissions ($NO_x$, HC, and $CO_2$) of biogas-fueled engine are preliminary evaluated and analyzed for the change of system load. Results indicated that the researched power generation system shows a high stability of output voltage and frequency with help of speed regulator. Biogas fuel (mainly $CH_4$ and $CO_2$) has an environmental impact and potential as a green alternative fuel for SI engine and they would not require significant modification of existing engine hardware. Output emissions of biogas-fueled engine are found to be relative low. $NO_x$ emission increases with the increase of output electric power of the power generation system.

In order to investigate the laser effects resulted from the behaviors of carriers for BOPP film, experiment of TSC were carried out on the specimen with 15[$\mu\textrm{m}$] thick irradiated by He-Ne laser. The TSC spectras were observed in the temperature range of -100[$^{\circ}C$] to 130[$^{\circ}C$] with the electric field of 20∼60[MV/m], had show four of the distinguished peak such as ${\alpha}$$_1$, ${\alpha}$$_2$, ${\beta}$ and ${\gamma}$, which appeared at 115, 80, 17 and -30[$^{\circ}C$] respectively. Specially, ${\alpha}$$_1$ was observed and anomalous TSC flowing in the same direction as the charging current on the high-electric field such as 50∼60[MV/m]. In according on the consequences obtained from the studies, the origin of ${\alpha}$$_1$peak was attributed to the detrapping process form trap with 2.88[eV] deep of injected space charge from the chathode in the crystaline regions. The origin of ${\alpha}$$_2$ peak was regarded as the detrapping process of ions trapped with 0.9[eV] deep originated from impurity-ion remained in the specimen during production process of the material, in the crystalline regions. The origin of ${\beta}$ peak was concluded to be due to the depolarization process of "C=0"dipole with the activation energy of 0.75[eV] in the amorphous regions. The origin of ${\gamma}$ peak was responsible to the process combined with the depolarization of "CH$_3$", chain segment, with the activation energy of carriers from the shallow trap with 0.4[eV], in he amorphous regions.

The indiscriminate growth in global population poses a threat to the world in handling and disposal of Municipal solid waste. Rapid urban growth increases the production, consumption and generation of Municipal solid waste which leads to a drastic change in the environment. The methane produced from the Municipal Solid waste accounts for up to 11% global anthropogenic emissions, which is a major cause for global warming. This study reports the methane emission estimation using IPCC default, TNO, LandGEM, EPER and close flux chamber from open dump yards at Perungudi and Kodungaiyur in Chennai, India. The result reveals that the methane emission using close flux chamber was in the range of 8.8 Gg/yr-11.3 Gg/yr and 6.1Gg/yr to 9.1 Gg/yr at Kodungaiyur and Perungudi dump yard respectively. The per capita waste generation was estimated based on waste generation and population. The waste generation potential was projected using linear regression model for the period 2017-2050. The trend of CH₄ emission in the actual field measurement were increased every year, similarly the emission trend also increased in IPCC default method (mass balance approach), EPER Germany (zero order decay model) where as TNO and Land GEM (first order decay model) were decreased. The present study reveals that Kodungaiyur dump yard is more vulnerable to methane emission compared to Perungudi dump yard and has more potential in waste to energy conversion mechanisms than compare to Perungudi dump yard.

The Measurement of Pollution in the Troposphere (MOPITT) instrument is an eight-channel gas correlation radiometer that launched on the Earth Observing System (EOS) Terra spacecraft in 1999. Its main objectives are to measure carbon monoxide (CO) and methane (CH4) concentrations in the troposphere. This study analyzes tropospheric carbon monoxide distributions using MOPITT data and compare with ozone distributions in Northeast Asia. In general, seasonal CO variations are characterized by a peak in spring and decrease in summer. Also, this study revealed that the seasonal cycles of CO are maximum in spring and minimum in summer with average concentrations ranging from 118ppbv to 170ppbv. The monthly average of CO shows a similar profile to those of O3. This fact clearly indicates that the high concentration of CO in spring is caused by two possible causes: the photochemical CO production in the troposphere, or the transport of the CO in the northeast Asia. The CO and $O_3$ seasonal cycles in the Northeast Asia are influenced extensively by the seasonal exchange of the different types of air mass due to the Asian monsoon. The continental air masses contain high concentrations of $O_3$ and CO due to higher continental background concentrations and sometimes due to the contribution of regional pollution. In summer the transport pattern is reversed. The Pacific marine air masses prevail over Korea, so that the marine air masses bring low concentrations of CO and $O_3$, which tend to give the apparent minimum in summer.

Carbon-encapsulated Ni catalysts are synthesized by an electrical explosion of wires (EEW) method and applied for CO₂ methanation. We find that the presence of carbon shell on Ni nanoparticles as catalyst can positively affect CO₂ methanation reaction. Ni@5C that is produced under 5 % CH₄ partial pressure in Ar gas has highest conversions of 68 % at 350 ℃ and 70 % at 400 ℃, which are 73 and 75 % of the thermodynamic equilibrium conversion, respectively. The catalyst of Ni@10C with thicker carbon layer shows much reduced activity. The EEW-produced Ni catalysts with low specific surface area outperform Ni catalysts with high surface area synthesized by solution-based precipitation methods. Our finding in this study shows the possibility of utilizing carbon-encapsulated metal catalysts for heterogeneous catalysis reaction including CO₂ methanation. Furthermore, EEW, which is a highly promising method for massive production of metal nanoparticles, can be applied for various catalysis system, requiring scaled-up synthesis of catalysts.

Two Bacillus strains, K3 and K208, both demonstrating strong fibrinolytic activities were isolated from Kimchi, a traditional Korean preparation of fermented vegetables. Isolates were subjected to various molecular biology based identification methods including RAPD-PCR and identified as B. subtilis and B. velezensis, respectively. Tryptic soy broth (TSB) was found to best maintain both the growth and the fibrinolytic activity of these strains. Culture supernatants were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and fibrin zymography, and the results indicate that a 40 and 27 kDa band seem to be responsible for the fibrinolytic activities of these two isolates and the 27 kDa band was subsequently identified as the mature form of AprE, the major fibrinolytic enzyme. Thus the aprE genes were cloned and the translated amino acid sequences demonstrated 99.3% identity with each other, and 86.5% identity with BsfA, a fibrinolytic enzyme from B. subtilis ZA400 also isolated from Kimchi, and AprE2, a fibrinolytic enzyme from B. subtilis CH3-5 isolated from Cheonggukjang, a traditional Korean fermented soy. Given this B. subtilis K3 and B. velezensis K208 may be promising starter cultures in the production of fermented foods.

Alloy 617 is a Ni-base superalloy and a candidate material for the intermediate heat exchanger (IHX) of a very high temperature gas reactor (VHTR) which is one of the next generation nuclear reactors under development. The high operating temperature of VHTR enables various applications such as mass production of hydrogen with high energy efficiency. Alloy 617 has good creep resistance and phase stability at high temperatures in an air environment. However, it was reported that the mechanical properties decreased at a high temperature in an impure helium environment. In this study, high-temperature corrosion tests were carried out at $850^{\circ}C-950^{\circ}C$ in a helium environment containing the impurity gases $H_2$, CO, and $CH_4$, in order to examine the corrosion behavior of Alloy 617. Until 250 h, Alloy 617 specimens showed a parabolic oxidation behavior at all temperatures. The activation energy for oxidation in helium environment was 154 kJ/mol. The SEM and EDS results elucidated a Cr-rich surface oxide layer, Al-rich internal oxides and depletion of grain boundary carbides. The thickness and depths of degraded layers also showed a parabolic relationship with time. A normal grain growth was observed in the Cr-rich surface oxide layer. When corrosion tests were conducted in a pure helium environment, the oxidation was suppressed drastically. It was elucidated that minor impurity gases in the helium would have detrimental effects on the high-temperature corrosion behavior of Alloy 617 for the VHTR application.

In recent years, there has been a growing argument attributing the primary cause of global climate change to livestock industry, which has led to the perception that the livestock industry is synonymous with greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, a closer examination of the global GHG emission by sector reveals that the energy sector is responsible for the majority, accounting for 76.2% of the total, while agriculture contributes 11.9%. According to data from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the total GHG emissions associate with the livestock supply chain amount to 14.5%. Within this, emissions from direct sources, such as enteric fermentation and livestock manure treatment, which are not part of the front and rear industries, represent only 7%. Although it is true that the increase in meat consumption driven by global population growth and rising incomes, has contributed to higher methane (CH₄) emissions resulting from enteric fermentation in ruminant animals, categorizing the livestock industry as the primary source of GHG emissions oversimplifies a complex issue and disregards objective data. Therefore, it may be a misleading to solely focus on the livestock sector without addressing the significant emissions from the energy sector, which is the largest contributor to GHG emissions. The top priority should be the objective and accurate measurement of GHG emissions, followed by the development and implementation of suitable reduction policies for each industrial sector with significant GHG emissions contributions.

본 연구는 해조류 첨가를 통한 음식물쓰레기의 소화효율 증대효과를 알아보기 위해 다양한 농도(2.5~10.0 g VS/L)와 혼합비율(FW:SW=100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75, 0:100, VS 농도 기준)에서 회분식 실험을 수행하였다. 음식물쓰레기의 단일소화의 경우 농도가 증가함(2.5~10.0 g VS/L)에 따라 메탄전환율이 394, 377, 276, $49mL\;CH_4/g\;VS_{added}$로 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 음식물쓰레기에 해조류의 첨가 비율이 높아질수록 낮은 기질농도(2.5~5.0 g VS/L)에서는 메탄전환율이 감소하였으나(최대 15% 감소) 높은 기질농도(7.5~10.0 g VS/L)에서는 메탄전환율이 증가하였다(최대 240% 상승). 또한 음식물쓰레기와 해조류의 단일소화 시 발생된 메탄가스의 양을 기반으로 상승효과에 의한 메탄발생량을 계산한 결과, 2.5, 5.0 g VS/L에서는 상승효과가 없었고, 7.5, 10.0 g VS/L의 경우에는 해조류의 비율이 높아질수록 상승효과가 최대 25 % (= 상승효과에 의한 메탄발생량/혼합소화 시 실제 발생한 메탄발생량, 기질농도 10.0 g VS/L, 혼합비율 50:50)까지 상승하였다. 음식물쓰레기의 농도가 10.0 g VS/L로 높은 경우 단일소화 시(FW=SW=100:0) 유기산 축적량이 7,426 mg COD/L까지 증가하였고, 해조류를 첨가하면(FW:SW=50:50) 유기산 축적량이 2,346 mg COD/L로 감소하였다. 이는 비교적 생분해도가 낮은 해조류를 첨가함으로서 유기산 생산속도의 조절을 통해 유기산이 축적되는 것을 억제하여 상승효과가 발생한 것으로 판단된다.

계종버섯은 중국에서 맛과 향에서 최고의 버섯으로 평가받고 있으며, 본초강목에 그 효능이 기록되어 전해지고 있으나 효능과 물질연구 및 인공재배법 개발이 요구되고 있는 상황이다. 항산화 활성과 항염증 활성을 가지는 기능성 물질의 확보와 기능성식품 개발을 위한 기초자료를 확보하기 위하여 유기용매 추출물과 열수 추출물을 제조하고, 활성이 높은 분획물을 얻고자 하였다. CH₂Cl₂와 MeOH 혼합용매로 추출한 다음 비극성용매와 극성용매로서 용해성에 따라 분획하고, 열수 추출로 추출물을 확보하였다. 분획물과 추출물을 이용한 항산화 활성 조사에서는 열수 추출물(TA4)의 DPPH 라디칼 소거능에 대한 IC₅₀값이 1.5 mg/mL로 나타났고, MeOH 분획물(TA2)에서는 IC₅₀값이 1.93 mg/mL로 높게 나타났다. NO생성 억제율로 조사한 항염증 활성은 EtOAc 분획물(TA1)은 조추출물이지만 100 ㎍/mL 처리농도에서는 79% NO생성이 억제되고, 200 ㎍/mL 농도에서는 NO가 전혀 생성되지 않았다. TA1 물질을 2차례 TLC로 분리한 TA1-5-6물질은 15 ㎍/mL 처리농도에서 대조구와 비교하여 NO생성이 86% 억제되었고, 30 ㎍/mL 농도에서는 NO 생성이 완전히 억제되었다. 그리고 세포독성 실험에서는 50 ㎍/mL 농도에서도 전혀 독성이 나타나지 않았다. MeOH 분획물(TA2) 유래의 TA2-1-5물질은 30 ㎍/mL 처리농도에서 75% 이상 NO생성이 억제되었으며, 세포 독성은 50 ㎍/mL에서도 아주 낮게 나타났다. 선택적 용매의 선별과 추출 방법의 개발을 통하여 세포 독성이 없고, 생리활성이 뛰어난 계종버섯 분획물 확보가 가능하였고, 기능성식품 및 건강 기능성소재로서의 충분한 잠재력을 확인할 수 있었다.
