Economic development has resulted in the concentration of population and industry in the metropolitan area. Additionally, the Republic of Korea is experiencing this phenomenon, with more than half of the population living in the Seoul capital area. To alleviate this concentration of population, the Korean government implemented the new town development policy. Unfortunately, this has led to an increase in the commuting population, causing an imbalance in transportation services due to financial and policy differences in each region. This paper analyzes the level of user satisfaction with mega commuting in three aspects: mobility, accessibility, and connectivity. To objectively assess the level of user satisfaction, which is qualitative data, the Rasch Model is used to analyze the collinearity of user data. The results indicate that the level of user satisfaction differs by region, and service satisfaction with mobility is lower than that with accessibility and connectivity. Therefore, prior to the introduction of new town policies, it is necessary to develop metropolitan transportation infrastructure.

This study was carried out to investigate into the effect of light-emitting diode (LED) for the light quality as a light source on the broccoli seed germination and the physiological activity of vegetable sprouts. We have also germinated seeds of the broccoli and applied LED as a light quality such as blue, green, red, white, yellow and red + blue color lights to their sprouts for 14 hours and kept dark for 10 hours at the temperature of $25^{\circ}C$ (day)/$18^{\circ}C$ (night). Broccoli sprouts were extracted by methanol and their physiological activities were examined. All broccoli seeds were germinated at 3 days after seeding regardless of the light color. Total sprout fresh weight were mostly became highest by 0.389g (10 plants) at 8 days after seeding when their sprouts were grown under blue color light. Total phenol compound contents in broccoli sprouts were extremely increased by $83.0\;mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ under the white light, and total flavonoid contents were most much more by $72.6\;mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ under the blue light. DPPH radical scavenging activity at $2,000\;mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ were most highest by 93.5% in broccoli sprouts grown under the white light. Nitrite radical scavenging activity at the concentration of $500\;mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ in sprout extracts were the most increased by 66.9% under the yellow light, and tyrosinase inhibition activity at $2,000\;mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ in sprout extracts were by 14.5% under red light.

The increasing demand of maritime transportation and port development especially due to increased international trade resulted in a strengthening of regulating the greenhouse gas emissions mainly from ships by International Maritime Organization (IMO). Responding to these international environmental regulation and enforcement, the United States and the European seaports have expanded their Green Port Policy, which can promote the public welfare by reducing pollution caused by ships and ports. Accordingly, in 2010, Korean government enacted "The Framework Act on Low Carbon, Green Growth" and had pushed for all Korean ports to establish and implement their own green port policies. Therefore, the objective of this study is to establish the Green Port Policy Plan for sustainable and environmental friendly operations and developments of Ulsan port, which plans to be the oil hub port of Northeast Asia. To this end, we studied the current status of the environmental policy issues in Ulsan Port and international-&-domestic case studies on establishment of green port policy. With these studies, Ulsan green policy alternatives were identified that through the experts advice, and then were prioritized by adopting AHP survey analysis. As the result of this study, it was notified that LED lights replacement and AMP establishment as the hardware policy and the port environmental management department as the software policy were equally important policy options for the implementation of sustainable Ulsan Green Port Policy to meet port's characteristics.

$Er^{3+}$ and $Yb^{3+}$ co-doped $Y_3Ga_5O_{12}$ polycrystalline powders were prepared by using a solid-state reaction method, and their crystallinities were measured using X-ray diffraction. According to the results of X-ray diffraction, the powders showed a polycrystalline tetragonal structure. The photoluminescence and the upconversion luminescence properties of the $(Y_{0.85-x}Yb_{0.15})_3Ga_5O_{12}:Er^{3+}_x$ (x = 0.03, 0.06, 0.09, 0.12 and 0.15) phosphors were investigated in detail. Green and red upconversion emissions were observed for the phosphors excited by 980 nm radiation from a semiconductor laser. The powders exhibited strong green and weak red upconversion emission peaks at 553 and 660 nm, respectively. Also, their upconversion processes were explained using an energy-diagram analysis and the strongest upconversion intensity was emitted by the powder with a 0.12 mol $Er^{3+}$ ion concentration.

Intravenous injection is widely used for patient treatment, including injection drugs, fluids, parenteral nutrition, and blood products, and is the most frequently performed invasive treatment for inpatients, including blood collection, peripheral catheter insertion, and other IV therapy, and more than 1 billion cases per year. Intravenous injection is one of the difficult procedures performed only by experienced nurses who have been trained in intravenous injection, and failure can lead to thrombosis and hematoma or nerve damage to the vein. Nurses who frequently perform intravenous injections may also make mistakes because it is not easy to detect veins due to factors such as obesity, skin color, and age. Accordingly, studies on auxiliary equipment capable of visualizing the venous structure of the back of the hand or arm have been published to reduce mistakes during intravenous injection. This paper is about the development of venous detection equipment that visualizes venous structure during intravenous injection, and the optimal combination was selected by comparing the brightness of acquired images according to the combination of near-infrared (NIR) LED and Filter with different wavelength bands. In addition, an image processing algorithm was derived to threshehold and making blood vessel part to green through grayscale conversion, histogram equilzation, and sharpening filters for clarity of vein images obtained through the implemented venous detection experimental module.

반도체 기반 양자점 (QD)소재와 CsPbX3 (X=Cl, Br, I)기반 perovskite 양자점 또는 나노결정 소재(PNC)는 매우 우수한 양자효율과 좁은 발광 선폭으로 고색재현성 디스플레이 색변환 소재 또는 발광 소재로서 각광을 받고 있다. 그러나, 기존 화학적 합성법을 통해 제조되는 QD 및 PNC 소재는 취약한 열 및 화학적 안정성으로 인해 장기 내구성의 개선이 요구된다. 이들 QD 및 PNC 소재는 모두 완전 무기 소재인 산화물 기반 유리 소재내에 생성이 가능하며, 이를 통해 장기 내구성을 근본적으로 개선할 수 있다. 반도체 기반 QD 함유 유리소재 (QDEG)의 경우, 유리 내 core/shell 구조를 가진 QD의 생성으로 양자효율의 향상이 가능했으나, 콜로이드 기반 양자점 (cQD)과 달리 다중 shell의 형성이 어려워 양자효율이 제한되고, 발광 선폭이 넓어 고색재현성 디스플레이용 색변환 소재로 적용되기에는 아직 한계가 있다. 한편, Perovskite 양자점 (또는 나노결정) 함유 유리소재 (PNEG) 소재는 QDEG과 달리 콜로이드 기반의 PNC (c-PNC)가 가지는 우수한 양자효율과 20 nm 수준의 좁은 선폭을 유리 내에서도 가지며, c-PNC 대비 열적, 화학적 및 광학적 안정성이 획기적으로 향상되어 실질적인 응용 가능성을 높이고 있다. 특히, 일반적인 용융-급랭법으로 제조하여 대량생산에 용이하고, 분말 또는 판상 등 다양한 형태로의 제작이 가능한 장점이 있다. 현재까지 제조된 PNEG의 최대 PL-QY는 450 nm 여기 시 녹색 및 적색에서 약 60% 수준이며, Al₂O₃ 분말을 이용할 경우 최대 80% 수준까지 달성이 가능하다. 또한, PNEG과 blue LED를 이용하여 백색 LED를 구현할 경우 color filter를 적용하지 않을 때, NTSC 대비 최대 약 130 % 수준의 높은 색재현 영역을 보여 주고 있으며, 실제 LCD용 BLU로 적용 시 기존 상용 c-QD 소재와 동등 이상의 색재현 영역을 보이고 있어, 실질적인 응용 가능성이 매우 높음을 확인하였다. PNEG의 상업적인 응용을 위해서는 몇 가지 추가적인 연구 개발이 필요하다. 기존 c-QD 또는 c-PNC는 나노 수준 크기의 입자가 액상에 분산된 형태로 입도 제어가 용이하나, PNEG의 경우 분말 제조 시 유리 형성 후 분쇄를 통해 제조되며, 입도가 대개 수십 ㎛ 이하로 작아질 경우 PL-QY가 저하되어, 향후 잉크젯 공정 응용을 위해서는 고효율의 분말 제조공정 개발이 필요하다. 또한, 유리 소재의 경우 절연체로서 기존 QD 소재 대비 electro-luminescence(EL) 소자의 활성층으로 사용하는데 제약이 있어 PNEG을 이용한 EL 소자 제작에 대한 연구도 필요하다. 마지막으로, 기존 c-PNC 소재와 같이 Pb가 함유되지 않은 PNEG 소재의 개발이 선결되어야 할 것으로 판단된다. 이와 같은 해결 과제들에도 불구하고, PNEG 소재는 기존 c-QD 소재 대비 매우 우수한 안정성을 기반으로 고품위 고색재현 디스플레이용 색변환 소재로서 다양한 응용에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The effects were investigated of different lengths and numbers of slitwalls in drainless containers on growth and change in soil moisture volumes on the growth of Diffenbachia amoena 'Marianne' and Begonia rex. Drainless containers filled with amended soil, with square shape ($240mm{\times}240mm$) were used, as well as three different sets of slitwalls (2, 4 or 8, respectively) in addition to non-slitwall containers. Two indoor foliage plants were grown in slitwall containers in randomized blocks with 3 replications in greenhouse conditions, from March to September, 2009. Soil moisture volumes per container were measured by weighing containers every 2 hours during the day. The change in soil moisture volumes showed considerable differences among slitwalls tested in comparison to control containers before and after twice-weekly irrigation. Particularly, the differences in the S2 (195mm, slitwall 2) containers were significantly greater than other containers tested. For Diffenbachia amoena 'Marianne', plant height, length of leaf, dry weight and fresh weight were higher with S2 containers than with those grown in other containers tested. The Begonia rex with the best quality in terms of plant height, length of leaf and width of leaf was grown in S8 (360mm, slitwall 8) containers. Particularly, statistical analysis has indicated that shoot fresh weights of Begonia rex grown in S8 were 3-fold higher than those grown in CS8 containers. The different results obtained within the two species led us to hypothesize a species-specific influence on indoor foliage plant performance. However, plants of both species grown in slitwall containers showed good results compared with plants grown in non-slitwall containers.

A simple and rapid method was developed for monitoring of Gram-positive bacteria in the wastewater treatment system. Culture suspensions of 4 Gram-positive and 4 Gram-negative strains were filtrated and stained with a polyethersulfone membrane filter and Toluidine Blue-O. To establish quantitative color image analysis, the intensity value of RGB (red-green-blue) color of a scanned filter image was analyzed with a photographic program. Red and green color values of Gram-positive bacteria were higher than those of Gram-negative bacteria. This method was applied to the activated sludge mixed with the Gram-positive bacteria. Although evaluation was difficult due to the irregular size and shape of flocs, the population of Gram-positive bacteria in the activated sludge could be monitored with floc dispersion technique. The more amounts of Gram-positive bacteria in the activated sludge led to the increase of red and green color values. This method provides a rapid and quantitative measurement of Gram-positive bacteria within the wastewater treatment systems.

Effects of irradiation on the physical and functional characteristics of egg whites were investigated. Fresh shell eggs were irradiated at 0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0kGy. Egg whites were separated from eggs kept at 3$0^{\circ}C$ for 2hr. There was a considerable decrease in viscosity of egg whites with irradiation. Irradiation made egg whites darker and less greenish. The foaming properties including foaming ability and stability were examined. Irradiation led to increase in whipping power and decrease in drainage in an irradiation dose-dependent manner. These results showed that irradiated egg whites had good foaming ability and stability.

GaP는 가시광선 발광다이오드을 얻을 수 있는 적절한 재료중의 하나로 해당영역의 파장에 대하여 높은 양자효율을 얻을 수 있고, 깊은 준위 재결합이 없기 때문에 GaP 녹색 및 As 첨가한 GaAsP 적색 LED 에 적용할 수 있습니다. 또한, 상온에서 2.2 eV 에 해당하는 넓은 에너지 밴드갭을 가지고 있으므로, 소음이 없는 자외선 검출기에도 적합합니다. 이 물질에 대한 소자들은 기존에 GaP 기판을 사용하였습니다. 최근, GaP 와 격자상수가 비슷한 Si 기판을 활용하여 그 위에 성장하는 방법에 대한 관심이 많아졌습니다. Si는 물리적 및 화학적으로 안정하고 딱딱한 소재이며 대면적 기판을 쉽게 얻을 수 있어 전자 기기 및 대규모 집적 회로의 좋은 소재입니다. Si 와 대조적으로 GaP은 깨지기 쉬운 재료이며 GaP 기판은 Si와 같은 대면적 기판을 얻을 수 없습니다. 이러한 문제의 한 가지 해결책은 Si 기판위에 GaP 층의 성장입니다. GaP 과 Si의 조합은 현재의 광전소자 들에 더하여 더 많은 응용프로그램들을 가능하게 할 것입니다. 그러나, Si 기판위에 GaP 성장 시 삼차원적 성장 및 역위상 경계면과 같은 문제점들이 발생하므로 질이 높고 균일한 결정의 GaP 를 얻기가 어렵습니다. 따라서, Si 에 GaP 의 성장시 초기 단계를 제어하는 성장 기술이 필요합니다. 본 연구에서는, 유기금속화학증착법을 이용하여 Si 기판위에 양질의 GaP를 얻을 수 있는 최적의 성장조건을 얻고자 합니다. 실험 조건은 Si에 GaP의 에피택셜 성장의 초기 단계에 영향을 주는 V/III 비율, 성장압력, 기판방향 등을 가변하는 조건으로 진행하였습니다. V/III 비율은 100~6400, 성장 압력은 76~380 Torr로 진행하였고, Si 기판은 just(001)과 2~6도 기울어진 (001) 기판을 사용하였습니다.
