This study was aimed to investigate the possibility of using raw and anaerobically-digested piggery wastewater as culture media for a green microalga Chlorella vulgaris (C. vulgaris). Due to high concentration of ammonia and dark color, the microalga did not grow well in this wastewater. In order to solve this problem, air stripping and NaOCl-treatment were applied to reduce the concentration of NH₃-N and the color intensity from the wastewater. Algal growth was monitored in terms of specific growth rate, biomass productivity, and nutrient removal efficiency. As a result, C. vulgaris grew without any sign of inhibition in air-stripped and 10-folds diluted anaerobically-digested piggery wastewater with enhanced biomass productivity of 0.57 g/L·d and nutrient removal of 98.7-99.8% for NH₃-N and 41.0-62.5% for total phosphorus. However, NaOCl-treatment showed no significant effect on growth of C. vulgaris, although dark color was removed greatly. Interestingly, despite that the soluble organic concentration after air stripping was still high, the biomass productivity was 4.4 times higher than BG-11. Moreover, air stripping was identically effective for raw piggery wastewater as for anaerobic digestate. Therefore, it was concluded that air stripping was a very effective method for culturing microalgae and removing nutrients from raw and anaerobically-digested piggery wastewaters.

가축분의 퇴비화 효과에 미치는 이탄의 영향을 구명하기 위하여 수분조절제(톱밥, 톱밥+이탄, 이탄)를 달리 혼합한 3종(우분, 돈분, 계분)의 가축분을 퇴비화시킨 후 수분함량, 유기물, 유기물대 질소비, 비료성분(N, P, K) 및 중금속(As, Cd, Hg, Pb, Cr, Cu) 함량과 미생물(호기성종속영양세균, 고온성세균, 곰팡이, 방선균) 밀도의 차이를 비교 분석한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1) 퇴비화 과정을 거친 3종의 가축분 모두에서 사용된 톱밥+이탄, 이탄, 톱밥 혼합순으로 유기물함량이 높게 나타나 이탄이 유기물함량을 증가시키는 요인으로 작용하였다. 2) 유기물대 질소비와 수분함량은 모든 가축분별로 톱밥을 부재료로 이용한 것보다 이탄 또는 톱밥+이탄을 부재료로 이용한 것이 낮게 나타나 이탄이 퇴비화 숙성과정에 긍정적으로 영향하였다. 3) 비료성분(N, P, K)은 톱밥을 부재료로 이용한 것보다 이탄을 부재료로 혼합한 것에서 높게 나타났으나, 중금속함량은 모든 부재료 처리에서 유사한 수준이었다. 4) 미생물적 특성을 비교한 결과 톱밥만을 이용한 것보다 이탄을 부재료로 이용한 것이 호기성 종속영양세균, 고온성세균 및 곰팡이의 밀도가 높게 나타나 이탄을 혼합할 때 미생물 활동량 증가에 따른 퇴비 분해가 왕성한 것으로 나타났다. 5) 이러한 결과를 종합할 때 이탄이 혼합된 퇴비는 3종의 가축분 모두에서 톱밥보다 퇴비화 효과가 좋은 것으로 나타나 향후 이탄 활용으로 퇴비의 품질향상을 기대할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is a useful rapid prototyping technique for the manufacture of three dimensional (3D) solid objects directly from a scanning data. A new approach called a Selective Multi-Laser Sintering (SMLS) system has been developed at Korea Institute Machinery & Materials (KIMM) as an industrial type SFFS. This SMLS machine is built with a frame, heaters, nitrogen supply part, laser system. This system uses the dual laser and 3D scanner made in $Solutionix^{TM}$ to improve the precision and speed for large objects. The three-dimensional solid objects are made of polyamide powder. The investigation on each part of SMLS system is performed to determine the proper theirs design and the effect of experimental parameters on making the 3D objects. The temperature of the system has a great influence on sintering the polymer. Because the stability of the powder temperature prevents the deformation of each layer, the controls of the temperature in both the system and the powders are very important during the process. Therefore, we simulated the temperature distribution of build room using the temperature analysis with ANSYS program. Selected radiant heater is used to raise temperature of powder to melting point temperature. The laser parameters such as scan spacing, scan speed, laser power and laser delay time affect the production the 3D objects too. The combination of the slow scan speed and the high laser power shows the good results without the layer curling. The work is under way to evaluate the effect of experimental parameters on process and to produce the various objects. We are going to experiment continuously to improve the size accuracy and surface roughness.

The abundant nutrients contained in deep seawater are delivered by natural upwellings from the deep sea to the surface sea. However, the natural upwelling phenomenon is limited to specific areas of the sea; in other areas, the thermocline separates the surface sea from the lower layer. Thus, the surface layer is often deficient in nutritive salts, causing the deterioration of its primary productivity and ultimately leading to an imbalance in the marine ecosystem. Without a consistent supply of nitrogenous nutritive salts, they are absorbed by phytoplankton, resulting in a considerable problem in primary productivity. To solve this issue, a floating type of artificial upwelling system is suggested to artificially pump up, distribute, and diffuse deep seawater containing rich nutritive salts. The key technologies for developing such a floating artificial upwelling system are a floating offshore structure with a large diameter riser, self-supplying energy system, density current generating system, method for estimating the emission and absorption of CO2, and way to evaluate the primary production variation. Strengthening the primary production of the sea by supplying deep seawater to the sea surface will result in a sea environment with abundant fishery resources.

최근 국토의 균형 있는 발전을 위하여 서해안 및 남해안 지역에 주로 분포되고 있는 연약지반에 대한 건설공사가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 이러한 연약지반은 지반의 강도가 약하고, 압축성이 강해서 구조물을 축조하기 전에 반드시 표층안정처리, 압밀촉진, 치환공법 등의 지반개량이 선행되어야 한다. 이러한 연약지반 개량공법 중 표층처리공법은 샌드매트의 포설을 이용한 처리가 주를 이루었다. 그러나, 샌드매트공법에 요구되는 모래의 양이 증가함에 따라 공급이 원활하게 이루어지고 있지 않은 상태이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하고자 샌드매트 대체제로서 풍쇄 슬래그의 사용이 적합한지를 판단하기 위하여 기본 물성시험, 실내 통수능 시험, 침하특성 분석을 통해서 확인하고자 한다.

As a demand for an automobile increases, air pollution and a problem of the energy resources come to the fore in the world. Consequently, governments of every country established ordinances for green-house gas reduction and improvement of air pollution problem. Especially, as international oil price increases, engine using clean energy are being developed competitively with alternative transportation energy sources development policy as the center. Bio ethanol, one of the renewable energy produced from biomass, gained spotlight for transportation energy sources. Studies are in progress to improve fuel supply methods and combustion methods which are key features, one of the engine technologies. DI(Direct Injection), which can reduce fuel consumption rate by injecting fuel directly into the cylinder, is being studied for Green-house gas reduction and fuel economy enhancement at SI(Spark Ignition). GDI(Galoine Direct Injection) has an advantage to meet the regulations for fuel efficiency and $CO_2$ emissions. However it produces increased number of ultrafine particles, that yet received attention in the existing port-injection system, and NOX. As fuel is injected into the cylinder with high-pressure, a proper injection strategy is required by characteristics of a fuel. Especially, when alcohol type fuel is considered. In this study, we tried to get a base data bio-ethanol mixture in GDI, and combustion for optimization. We set fuel mixture rate and fuel injection pressure as parameters and took a picture with a high speed camera after gasoline-ethanol mixture fuel was injected into a constant volume combustion chamber. We figured out spraying characteristic according to parameters. Also, we determine combustion characteristics by measuring emissions and analyzing combustion.

To seek for a stable supply source of taxol as an anticancer agent urgently needed for the treatment of ovarian cancer, the concentrations of taxol and cephalomannine in bark and needles of 37 yew (Taxus cuspidata S. et Z.) trees grown in 6 locations of Cheju Island were analyzed by using HPLC. A considerable variation in the content was observed in plant part and the location. The average taxol content in the needles ($220.3{\;}{\pm}{\;}56{\;}{\mu}g$ per g dry wt) was ca. 4 times hgher than that in the bark, whereas the content of cephalomannine in the needles $(353{\;}{\pm}{\;}141{\;}{\mu}g)$ was ca. 5 times higher than that in the bark. Particularly, even within Cheju Island, needles from trees grown near the coast including Sogwipo area contained much higher taxol contents than needles from trees grown at mountain locations, indicating that taxane level is affected by environmental effects. Taxol in the needles was confirmed by electrospray mass spectrometry. These results suggest that the needles of yew trees growing in Cheju Island may provide a renewable source for taxol.
