A modified VIStA (vortex inertial staged air) burner was developed and used in a once-through-type boiler. For safety, the combustion in this burner is of the non-premixed type. An air damper is installed to control the distribution of air to each combustion chamber. The effects of the air-fuel ratio and air distribution on NOx formation were investigated. The newly modified VIStA burner gives NOx reduction effect by maximum 20% in the combustion chamber of a boiler, while it yields more uniform flame than the conventional burner.

Selecting the evaluation index to determine water resources system design yield is an important problem for water resources engineers. Reliability, resilience and vulnerability are three widely used indices for yield analysis. However, there is an overlap region between indices as well as resilience and vulnerability can show improvement in non-monotonic phenomena although yield condition becomes worse. These problems are usually not recognized and the decisions are made according to calculated estimates in real situation. The reason for this is caused by a diverse characteristics of water resources system such as seasonal variability of hydrologic characteristics and water demands. In this study, the applicability of resilience and vulnerability for multi indices application in addition to reliability which is applied generally is examined. Based on highly seasonal irrigation water demand ratio, the correlation and non-monotonic phenomena of each index are analyzed for seven selected reservoirs. Yongdam reservoir which supplies constant water supply showed the general tendency, but Chungju, Andong, Namgang and other reservoirs which supplies irrigation water showed clear non-monotonic phenomena in resilience and vulnerability.

In this study, we investigated the effect of the generation of NOx and CO by adjusting the overfire air supply position and ratio using the boiler that was converted from coal burning to wood pellet boiler. When the amount of the overfire air is relatively increased, the amount of NOx is slightly decreased but CO is sharply decreased when burning at low excess air ratio (1.10) that is due to a small fuel particle size. However, NOx slightly increased when burning at high excess air ratio (1.33) due to the large fuel size, but CO was hardly affected. Also, When the amount of overfire air was same, The more supply position was concentrated to upper portion of the main combustor, the more NOx and CO was lowered. And in case of the excess air ratio was high, the generation of NOx and CO I can see that it keeps the level irrelevant to the amount of air for the second stage combustion.

마그네트론 스퍼터링을 이용하여 질소와 탄소를 함유한 티타늄 화합물을 합성하고, 조성 변화에 따른 색상 변화를 통해 티타늄 화합물로 구현할 수 있는 색상에 대해서 알아보았다. 스퍼터 타겟은 4"X1/4" 크기의 고순도(99.99%) 티타늄을 사용하였다. 시편은 알코올과 아세톤에서 각각 5분간 초음파 세척된 SUS304를 사용하여, 진공용기에 시편을 장착하고 압력을 $3{\times}10^{-6}\;Torr$까지 배기한 후, Ar 가스를 주입하여 진공도가 $2{\times}10^{-2}\;Torr$에 이르면 펄스 전원 공급 장치를 이용하여 800 V의 전압으로 1시간 동안 글로우 방전을 시켜 시편 청정을 실시하였다. 시편 청정이 끝나면 다시 $3{\times}10^{-6}\;Torr$까지 진공배기를 실시하고, Ar 가스를 진공용기 내로 공급하여 $1{\sim}3{\times}10^{-3}\;Torr$에서 스퍼터링을 실시하여 완충층으로 티타늄 박막을 코팅하였다. 티타늄 화합물은 티타늄을 스퍼터링 하면서 진공용기 내에 질소와 메탄가스를 적절한 비율로 공급함으로써 코팅하였다. 박막 증착 시 시편 온도는 $200^{\circ}C$, 타겟과의 거리는 12 cm를 유지하였으며, 시편을 회전시켜 코팅하였다. 티타늄 화합물의 두께와 미세구조, 조성 그리고 색상은 투과전자현미경(transmission electron microscope, TEM), 글로우 방전 분광기(glow discharge light spectroscope, GDLS), 및 색차계(spectrophotometer)를 사용하여 각각 분석하였다. TEM 분석결과 TiN의 박막 두께는 약 300 nm로 공극이 존재하지 않는 치밀한 다결정 구조를 나타내었고, TiCN은 약 600 nm로 TiN과 두 배의 두께 차이를 보였다. 이는 탄소의 공급원인 메탄가스의 주입으로 증착률이 증가한 것으로 판단된다. 또한 소량의 질소와 메탄가스의 유량 조절로 화합물의 조성을 변화시킬 수 있었으며, 이러한 조성 변화는 화합물의 색상변화로 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구에서 얻어진 결과를 외관 코팅 분야에 응용한다면 다양한 색상 구현과 외관의 경도, 내마모성, 내식성의 향상 등 많은 장점을 가질 것으로 판단된다.

In this paper, we empirically evaluate the potential performance of energy conversion policy and analyze its effects on power generation sector. We first examine the degree of substitutability between energy inputs by measuring the price elasticities of energy demands and then estimate the changes in CO₂ generation when the proportions of nuclear power plants and renewable power generation are increased. The shadow prices of nuclear power and renewable energy are calculated to compare the potential costs of power generation between the two energy sources. We analyze the impacts of the expansion of nuclear power plants and renewable power generation on power supply price. Nuclear and renewable energy were measured to be complementary to each other. The expansion of nuclear power plants has been more effective in reducing CO₂ emissions than increasing renewable power generation. In most years over 2002 to 2016, the impact of nuclear power expansion on the power supply price was generally higher than that of renewable power generation, with relatively large range of fluctuations.

In this paper, a methodology for reinforcing reverse logistics (RL) activities in a closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) model is proposed. For the methodology, the activities of the recovery center (RC) which can be considered as one of the facilities in the RL are reinforced. By the reinforced activities in the RC, the recovered parts and products after checking and recovering processes of the returned product from customer can be reused in the forward logistics (FL) of the CLSC model. A mathematical formulation is suggested for representing the CLSC model with reinforced RL activities, and implemented using a hybrid genetic algorithm (HGA) approach. In numerical experiment, two different scales of the CLSC model are presented and the performance of the HGA approach is compared with those of some conventional approaches. The experimental results show that the former outperforms the latter in most of performance measures. The robustness of the CLSC model is also proved by regulating various rates of the recovered parts and products in the RC.

최근 인구 증가, 도시화 및 산업의 발달로 인해 생활·공업용수의 수요가 증가하면서, 상대적으로 농업용수의 비율은 감소하고 있는 추세이다. 하지만 수자원이용 현황 중 농업용수는 전체 물 사용량의 48%로 여전히 가장 큰 비중을 차지하고 있다. 환경부 중심의 물관리 일원화 관련법 시행으로 국가 통합물관리 정책이 본격 추진됨에 따라 농업용수 가치의 재평가가 요구되고 있으며, 현재 수원공 확대의 경우 환경보호와 같은 이유로 농업용수 확보에 대한 많은 제약이 발생하고 있다. 공급된 농업용수 중 작물에 의해 소비되지 않고 하천으로 회귀되는 회귀수량은 하천 건천화 방지, 용수공급계획, 하천 유황예측 등 기여하는 바가 크다. 하지만 관개량과 회귀수량의 비로 나타내는 회귀율의 경우 지역에 따라 38.1%에서 70.5%로 큰 차이를 보이고 있으며, 지역별 회귀율 정량화에도 한계가 있다. 본 연구에서는 경기도 안성에 위치한 관개면적 429ha인 마둔 저수지를 대상으로 회귀율을 산정하고 농촌용수종합정보시스템 (Rural Agricultural Water Resource Information System, RAWRIS)에서 제공하는 저수지 수위 자료를 활용하여 마둔 저수지의 4월부터 9월 관개기 강수량, 저수율, 증발산량을 구축하였다. 물수지 분석 기반 회귀수량 산정모형으로부터 회귀율을 추정하였으며, 수로 네트워크 기반의 SWMM (Storm Water Management Model)과 비교를 통해 정량적인 회귀수량 및 회귀율을 산정하고자 한다. 본 연구의 결과를 통해 정량적인 회귀수량 및 회귀율 자료가 구축된다면, 농업용수의 재이용, 환경용수 및 하천유지용수, 용수공급계획 등 효율적인 농업 수자원관리에 기초자로로써 활용 가능할 것이라 판단된다.

This study was carried out to examine the effects of pills made of mulberry leaves and silkworm powder on lowering blood glucose level. Experimental animals were Sprague-Dawley male rat weighing 100$\pm$10 g and pills were supplemented with 0.4% (4 g/kg) diet. Experimental groups were assigned to diabetic group (DM group) and pill supplemented groups. Pill supplemented groups were classified 100% mulberry leaves (M group), mixing 25% silkworm powder to mulberry leaves (25SM group), mixing 50% silkworm powder to mulberry leaves (50SM group), mixing 70% silkworm powder to mulberry leaves (75SM group) and 100% silkworm powder (100S group). Experimental diets and water fed ad libitum, and streptozotocin was injected to induce diabetic state after 3rd weeks and sacrificed on the 9th day. The contents of 1-deoxynojirimycin(DNJ) were increased with adding the silkworm powder. The contents of GABA and rutin were increased with adding the mulberry leaves. In vitro, intestinal mucosa $\alpha$-glucosidase inhibitory activities were significantly increased in pills which mixed with silkworm powder by 50%. Blood glucose levels were high in groups which mixed with silkworm powder by 50% compared to DM group. Intestinal mucosa maltase activity in proximal part was significantly reduced in pill supplemented group compared to DM group and pill supplemented groups were no significant difference. Enzyme activity in middle part was no significant difference in experimental groups. Enzyme activity in distal part was decreased in pill supplemented groups, especially in 50SM, 75SM and 100S groups were significantly reduced compared to DM group. Sucrase and lactase activities in pill supplemented groups were significantly reduced at proximal part, and there was no significant difference in middle and distal parts. In conclusion, pills made of mulberry leaves and silkworm powder increased the $\alpha$-glucosidase inhibitory activity in vitro and reduced the blood glucose levels by controlling the disaccharidase activities of intestinal proximal part in STZ-induced diabetic rat. The synergistic effect was the highest when mulberry leaves was mixed with silkworm powder by the ratio of 50 : 50.

제 3차 국가에너지기본계획이 시행됨에 따라 전체 에너지 공급량 중 신재생에너지가 차지하는 비율은 점차 늘어날 전망이다. 이와 관련하여 2012년부터 RPS 시행이 확정되었다. RPS(신재생에너지 의무비율할당제)는 신재생에너지에 의한 발전 비율을 설정함으로써 공급을 늘리는 긍정적인 측면이 있으나 이와 동시에 전기요금 인상을 수반한다. 요금 인상으로 인하여 발생할 수 있는 소비자의 반감을 완화시키고 전기요금에 대한 현실적인 합의점을 찾으려면 소비자가 재생에너지 전력에 대하여 어느 정도의 지불의사를 가지고 있는지에 대한 연구가 선행적으로 진행되어야 한다. 한편 RPS의 도입은 신재생에너지 원간 가격경쟁을 촉진시키게 된다. 이 과정에서 성장잠재력이 높은 에너지원이라 하더라도 현재의 발전단가가 높다면 잠재력을 발휘하기 전에 도태될 가능성이 있다. 이러한 RPS 도입의 영향에 대처할 수 있는 정책수립의 기초자료를 마련하기 위해, 재생에너지 전력에 대한 소비자 측면의 효용이 원별로 분석될 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 조건부 가치평가법(Contingent Valuation)을 적용하여 수력, 풍력, 태양광으로 발전된 재생에너지 전력에 대한 지불의사액(Willingness to Pay)을 추정하였다. 단일 설문지 내에서 여러 에너지원에 대한 지불의사액을 순차적으로 물어보게 될 경우, 질문순서가 지불의사액 추정에 편의를 가져오는 순서효과(Sequence Effect)가 발생할 수 있다(Boyle et al.,1993). 이러한 순서효과를 제거하기 위해서 유형에 따라 질문순서를 다르게 하여 각 에너지원에 대한 지불의사액을 묻는 방향으로 설문을 설계하였다. 분석결과 수력, 풍력, 태양광으로 발전한 전력에 대한 지불의사액 간에는 유의한 차이 가 나타나지 않았으며, 순서효과로 인한 편의 또한 지불의사액에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 관측되었다.
