Mobile sources are one of the most significant contributors to the inventory of greenhouse gas (GHG). The administration in Korea has set a goal of cutting GHG emissions of vehicles by 34.3% compared to Business As Usual (BAU) by 2020. To achieve this goal, GHG emission standards for vehicles have been applied since 2012, and now light-duty trucks are under consideration to be included to the vehicle types that will be regulated in the new version of GHG emission standards. Therefore, this study focuses on analyzing characteristics of exhaust GHGs (CO2, CH4, and N2O) emissions of diesel light-duty trucks according to their various driving modes. GHGs emissions of diesel light-duty trucks reduced in inverse proportion to the speed of the vehicles. GHGs emissions from the combined mode were 8% and 14% lower than those from the CVS- 75 and NEDC modes, respectively.

Telecommunication satellite consists of a bus system and an RF payload system with high efficiency and high gain reflector antennas. Antenna measurement and also RF system performance (antenna under test, payload and satellite level) have to be evaluated enough before launching in the far-field range or equivalent test range. Basically far-field range is required in a range from two hundred meters to several kilo meters, and it is highly constrained to the externa1 environment, like the RF and the whether environment So the compact antenna test range is developed and used efficiently without external environments as in-door facility. This paper describes the configuration of the compact antenna test range, the range error, and the physical concept of the plane wave illumination Also, it provides a overall design of the anechoic chamber and range parameter values to accommodate the precision measurements in antenna test range.

This study evaluated the reduction performance of ambient temperature and the amount of evaporation that takes place depends on the temperature difference of paving blocks which are used in the sidewalk, roadway, parking lot, park, plaza, and etc. The water-retentive block of the LID (Low Impact Development) practice was compared with the conventional concrete block. For the quantitative performance evaluation, experiments were performed in a climatic environment chamber capable of controlling the climatic environment (solar radiation, temperature, humidity, rainfall, and snowfall). The method for performance evaluation was proposed using temperature, humidity, and ambient air of paving blocks which changes according to the solar radiation and the wind speed after the rainfall. As a result, the evaporation amount of the water-retentive block was 2.6 times higher than that of the concrete block, the surface temperature of water-retentive block was $10^{\circ}C$ lower than the concrete block, and the air temperature of water-retentive block was $4.6^{\circ}C$ lower than the concrete block. Therefore, it is analyzed that the water-retentive block with a large amount of evaporation is more effective in reducing the urban heat island phenomenon as compared with the concrete block.

In recent years, extreme rainfall and rainy seasons caused by climate change have caused river flooding and flooding damage, and it is urgent to solve economic and environmental problems in the city center due to the increase in the number of peak homes. The gap block, called the fitting block, is designed to facilitate rainwater pitching by forming a gap between the block and the block by forming a concave part and a protrusion of the block differently without the use of an existing spacer. In this study, for the production of such a gap block, the existing cement content was reduced and aramid fibers and exploration fibers, which are industrial by-products such as Goroslag fine powder and reinforcing fibers, were applied.

This study was conducted to provide basic data for crop monitoring by comparing and analyzing changes in reflectance and vegetation index by sensor of multi-spectral sensors mounted on unmanned aerial vehicles. For four types of unmanned aerial vehicle-mounted multispectral sensors, such as RedEdge-MX, S110 NIR, Sequioa, and P4M, on September 14 and September 15, 2020, aerial images were taken, once in the morning and in the afternoon, a total of 4 times, and reflectance and vegetation index were calculated and compared. In the case of reflectance, the time-series coefficient of variation of all sensors showed an average value of about 10% or more, indicating that there is a limit to its use. The coefficient of variation of the vegetation index by sensor for the crop test group showed an average value of 1.2 to 3.6% in the crop experimental sites with high vitality due to thick vegetation, showing variability within 5%. However, this was a higher value than the coefficient of variation on a clear day, and it is estimated that the weather conditions such as clouds were different in the morning and afternoon during the experiment period. It is thought that it is necessary to establish and implement a UAV flight plan. As a result of comparing the NDVI between the multi-spectral sensors of the unmanned aerial vehicle, in this experiment, it is thought that the RedEdeg-MX sensor can be used together without special correction of the NDVI value even if several sensors of the same type are used in a stable light environment. RedEdge-MX, P4M, and Sequioa sensors showed a linear relationship with each other, but supplementary experiments are needed to evaluate joint utilization through off-set correction between vegetation indices.

A two-year study was conducted from 2017 to 2018 by the establishment of a test field at Chungju-si and Cheongyang-gun. Plant height, number of leaves, insects and diseases, and fresh and dry matter yields for corn hybrid('Kwangpyeongok') were investigated. Daily average, maximum, and minimum temperature, monthly average temperature, daily precipitation, and sunshine duration during the growing season were investigated. We selected climate-critical factors to corn productivity and conducted an evaluation of vulnerability to climate change from 1999 to 2018 for both regions. In 2018, the dry matter yield of forage corn was 6,475 and 7,511 kg/ha in Chungju and Cheongyang, respectively, which was half of that in 2017. The high temperature and drought phenomenon in the 2018 summer caused the corn yield to be low. As well as temperature, precipitation is an important climatic factor in corn production. As a result of climate impact vulnerability assessment, the vulnerability has increased recently compared to the past. It is anticipated that if the high temperature phenomenon and drought caused by climate change continues, a damage in corn production will occur.

본 논문은 최근 이슈가 되고 있는 해양에너지 중 해류의 흐름을 이용한 조류발전 시스템에 관한 것으로 대학 실험실규모에서 조류발전 시스템의 성능 및 특성을 효율적으로 시험 평가할 수 있도록 구성된 모의실험 장치에 관한 것이다. 조류발전은 타 에너지원에 비해 발전의 제한조건과 단점이 거의 없으며 국내 자연환경에 적용하기에 적합한 많은 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 조류발전 시스템의 성능 및 특성을 시험할 수 있도록 Motor-Generator Set(M-G Set)을 구성하였고, 최대출력제어를 위해 사전에 PSIM을 이용하여 시뮬레이션을 수행하여 최대 출력제어 알고리즘을 검증하였다. 구축된 조류 발전 모의실험 장치는 해양의 기후, 시간 변화에 따른 조류 속도 변화를 효율적으로 모의할 수 있도록 전동기 속도 제어를 가능하도록 하였다. 조류발전 시스템에서는 와류등으로 인해 유속을 측정하기 힘들고, 오차가 발생할 가능성이 많다. 그래서 유속 정보 없이 최대출력제어가 가능한 알고리즘을 시뮬레이션하여 수행하였다. 본 연구는 향후 실시간 발전 사항을 모니터링 할 수 있도록 LabVIEW 기반 모니터링 시스템에서 최대 출력제어 시스템을 구축하기 위한 좋은 자료로 쓰일 것이라 판단된다.

The amount of snow due to global warming and climate change has recently increased. The effective management of snow removal materials will be required. First, on the basis of domestic winter temperature, it is not necessary to get a baseline to less than the freezing point of $-52^{\circ}C$ for the calcium chloride($CaCl_2$) of 30%.. In terms of cost comparison between calcium chloride($CaCl_2$) and sodium chloride($NaCl$), the calcium chloride($CaCl_2$) is 2 to 3 times more expensive, and the supply of the calcium chloride($CaCl_2$) is not produced in domestic country and is in the conditions that have to imports all needed. Accordingly, the effective use scheme of snow removal materials should be considered to multifaceted ways. Thus, the objective of this study is to develop effective method and to replace from calcium choride($CaCl_2$) to sodium chloride($NaCl$) solution in the current snow removal operating system that uses a pre-wetted salt spreading method. The effective method that equals to the quality of the existing snow removal materials was developed in this study through performance tests for deicing chemicals, corrosion test of steel and freezing and thawing tests of concrete.

Acid mine drainage(AMD) treatment is classified as both passive and active treatment. During the treatment, about 5,000 tons of neutralization sludge is generated as a by-product per year in Korea. This study was conducted to evaluate the characteristics of sludge generated from physico·chemical treatment processes as an active treatment from 5 different sources (D, H, S, T, Y) and the possibility of the sludges being recycled. The sludges have a pH range of 5.86 ~ pH 7.89, and a water content range of 51% ~ 82%. Most of particle sizes were less than 25 ㎛. In analysis of inorganic elements, the concentration of Al, Fe, and Mn were between 1,189 mg/kg ~ 129,344 mg/kg, 106,132 mg/kg ~ 338,011 mg/kg, and 3,472 mg/kg ~ 11,743 mg/kg, respectively. The concentration of As and Zn in sludge-T, Cd in sludge-D, Ni in sludge-H, Zn in sludge-S, and Cd in sludge-Y exceeded the soil contamination standards of Korea. The results from 2 separate kinds of leaching test, the Korea Standard Leaching Test(KSLT) and Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure(TCLP), showed that all the sludges met the Korea groundwater standards. From the XRD and SEM-EDS analysis, the peaks of calcite and quartz were found in the sludges. The sludge also had a high proportion of Fe and O, and the majority of the composition was amorphous iron hydroxide.
