The way we work is changing significantly with the rapid development of digitaltechnology, and paper documents are being replaced by electronic documents. However, in accordance with the Enforcement Decree and Enforcement Regulation of the Environmental Impact Assessment Act, the environmental impact assessment report must submit a set number of paper reports to organizations related to the project, and about 42 years have passed since it was submitted as a paperreport. In 2022, the National Institute of Ecology introduced a system to review paperreports as electronic documents in line with the trend of digital transformation. The cost reduction and carbon emission reduction effects of electronic document review were analyzed for 1,398 environmental impact assessments submitted and reviewed in 2022. In addition, a satisfaction survey was conducted targeting type 1 environmental impact assessment companies that were directly affected, and a total of 134 people responded. As a result of analyzing the effect of reviewing electronic documents, costs are reduced by a total of 101,424,900 won per year and carbon emissions are reduced by about 59.7 tons. As a result of the satisfaction survey, 94.8% of the respondents said electronic documentreview was very helpful, and 4.5% said it was helpful. The effectiveness of electronic documentreview was high, with 94.8% of respondents saying it was helpful in economic terms and 91.8% saying it was helpful in reducing work hours. If electronic documents are reviewed through the revisions to the Enforcement Decree and Enforcement Regulation of the Environmental Impact Assessment Act, the implementation of electronic document review is expected to have a ripple effect across the country, not only reducing costs and carbon emissions, but also reducing administrative time and saving storage space. Rapid changes in law and administration are needed to adapt to the digital transformation era.

This paper evaluated the construction costs of 11 design cases to decrease the horizontal forces applied to the abutment. They include two abutment types, which are to improve backfill materials for a reversed T-shaped abutment and geosynthetic Reinforced Abutment for Railways (RAR). The first type of economic analysis was that the internal friction angles of backfill materials were increased from Φ=35° to Φ=40° and 50° for a reversed T-shaped abutment. In addition, the second type was the cases with the design of geosynthetic RAR. When friction angles of 40° or 50° were applied through the improvement of the backfill material, the decrease in construction cost of the abutment was not large (2.0~3.9%), even though the horizontal forces applied to the abutment had decreased to 18~48%. In the case of applying the RAR, however, a maximum 30% cost reduction was evaluated by the decrease in horizontal force to "0" theoretically. The cost reduction resulted from the decrease in wall thickness, base slab size, and number and material change of pile foundation for the abutment.

화석연료의 점진적 고갈과 그 사용에 따른 지구온난화 그리고 에너지 안보를 해결하기 위하여 세계 각국에서는 대체에너지 개발에 노력을 기울이고 있다. 그 중 수소는 가장 주목받고 있는 대체에너지 원으로 현재 기술개발을 통하여 상업화 시기를 앞당기려고 하고 있다. 다시 말해서, 현재는 수소에너지 시대의 진입 시점이라고 할 수 있다. 이러한 수소는 다양한 소스에서 생산될 수 있으며, 수송연료로 연소 시, 유해 배출물이 거의 나오지 않는 장점이 있다. 그러나 수소는 그 생산 경로에 따라서, 다양한 환경성 및 경제성을 나타낼 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내 수소 생산 방식으로 개발/상업화 되어 있는 NGSR, Naphtha SR, WE에 대하여, LCA와 LCCA 방법을 통하여, 수소 경로 전반 즉, 원료채취에서부터 자동차로 주행하였을 때까지를 포함하여 각 대상 수소 경로의 환경성과 경제성을 평가하였다. LCA와 LCCA 결과를 살펴보면, Naphtha SR 및 NGSR 수소 경로에서는 지구온난화와 화석자원 소모 부문 모두 기존연료와 비교해보았을 때 개선효과가 뚜렷하게 나타났으나, WE 수소 경로에서는 오히려 환경부하가 증가되는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 비용적인 측면에서 살펴보면, 수소에 가솔린과 동일한 연료 세율을 부과하더라도 수소가 가솔린에 비하여 주행 시 연료 비용이 저감되어 연료로서 가격경쟁력을 확보하였으며, 연료세를 부과하지 않는 다면, Naphtha SR로 생산하여 유통한 수소가 수송연료로써 가장 비용 효율적인 것으로 나타났다.

In Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations(CAFOs), emission of ammonia from stored manure contributes negatively on the wellness of livestock. In CAFOs facilities, indoor aerial ammonia concentration oftentime surpasses the critical level potentially harmful to livestock's immune system. Understandably, numerous researches to control aerial ammonia have been conducted in countries where CAFOs were practiced for many decades. Some innovative technologies, such as scrubber, bio-filter, and additives emerged, as a result. Among them, microbial additives became popular in Korea, due to an easiness of use and affordability. However, microbial additives still have some weaknesses. Their price is still high enough to discourage farmers who run a small scale farm and their effectiveness are still questioned by many users and researchers. In the present study, we found soluble carbohydrates, such as sugar, glucose, and molasses, when supplemented to pig slurry manure, can mitigate ammonia emission. To be more specific, pig manure slurry(120kg), stored in container(200L), was supplemented with sugar at 0.1%(w/w) and was, subsequently, monitored for pH and aerial ammonia for next 10 days. From this experiment, it was found that the sugar supplementation was effective in mitigating the aerial ammonia concentration (33% in average) when monitored daily. Also, the pH of manure slurry was maintained at relatively low level(8.2) in sugar-supplemented manure slurry while it was elevated to 8.5 in untreated slurry. Conclusively, the obtained data suggest that soluble carbohydrate can mitigate ammonia emission by acidifying manure slurry. Additionally, it can be suggested that soluble carbohydrates, such as sugar, glucose, and molasses, can be reasonable choices for animal farmers who have been looking for an alternative choice to replace expensive microbial additives.

Recently, the permanent magnet linear synchronous motor as low noise, high speed and high thrust force transportation system has been proposed but this motor causes an increase of material cost because of its characteristic arranging the armature on the full length of transportation lines when this system is applied to the long distance transportation system. Therefore, we suggested discontinuous arrangement method of the armature to solve this problem. However, Detent force which causes thrust force ripple generating noise, vibration and decline of performance is generated when a mover pass between the armatures. Thus, in this paper, we examined characteristic of detent force to reduce the end edge effect according to the end edge teeth's height and auxiliary teeth and suggested the shape that can the most reduce the detent force.

본 고에서는 강한 바람이나 지진에 의한 고층 구조물의 진동을 감소시키기 위하여, 능동제어장치가 효과적으로 사용될 수 있음을 보이었다. 그러나 능동제어장치를 실제 구조물에 널리 적용하기에는 아직 많은 문제점들이 남아있다. 첫째, 효과에 비해 고가의 진동제어장치가 필요하며 유지관리에도 많은 비용이 필요하다. 또한 진동제어장치가 원활히 작동하기 위해서는 계속된 에너지의 공급이 있어야 하는데, 지진과 같은 과도한 구조물의 진동시 이를 보장할 수는 없다. 그러므로 극한상황에서는 진동을 오히려 증폭시킬 수도 있다. 둘째, Control Force의 산정시 사용되는 목적함수의 가중행렬을 결정하는 정형화된 방법이 아직 존재하지 않으며 효율적인 산정을 위해서는 많은 시행착오가 필요하다. 그밖에도 복잡한 실제 구조물의 단순한 모형화에 따라서 여러 문제점들이 발생하기 쉬우며, 실제 제어시에는 시간지연효과나 측정되지 못한 거동에 의한 문제 등이 있다. 구조물의 진동 저감방안에 대한 지금까지의 연구결과로는, 일반적인 경우에 있어서는 Base Isolator와 같이 재료의 감쇠특성을 이용하는 방법이 추천되고 있으나, 현재 내진설계된 고층건물과 같은 대형 구조물의 진동제어 등의 몇몇 경우에 있어서 능동제어의 필요성이 인정되고 있다. 좀더 안정적이고 효율적인 제어기법의 개발에 의해 많은 실제 구조물에 적용 범위를 넓힐 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Random PWM 방식은 기본파의 배수 고조파에 밀집된 성분을 광대역화할 수 있기 때문에 특정 주파수의 노이즈 감소 및 소음 저감 등에 효과가 있는 인버터 스위칭 방식이다. Random PWM을 구현하는 방법은 랜덤 변수를 생성하고 이를 이용하여 스위칭 주파수를 가변하거나, 인가되는 벡터의 위치를 변화시키는 등의 다양한 방법이 있다. 본 연구에서는 Random PWM 구현 방식, 랜덤 변수의 변동 주기, 랜덤 변수가 적용되는 크기 등의 차이에 따라 주파수 광대역화에 미치는 효과를 분석하였다. 이 결과로부터 구현을 위해 요구되는 조건에 따른 Random PWM의 효과를 비교할 수 있으며, 투입 비용 및 시스템 제한 조건 대비 최적의 Random PWM 방식을 선정할 수 있는 기준으로 활용될 수 있다.

The purpose of this study is to experiment and simulate the newly-updated Second Generation Model for Korea (SGM-Korea). With the updated model, we tried to simulate effect of carbon tax on $CO_2$ emissions and other macroeconomic variables for Korea. The baseline data are compared with projected profiles by various scenarios to evaluate its performance. Our contribution in this study is to having up-graded the model from its earlier version by building new hybrid input-output table based on 2000 input-output and energy balanced tables. According to our estimation, total $CO_2$ emission in Korea has already increased in 2000 to about 1.86 times the 1990 figure. The level of carbon tax required for the current level of $CO_2$ emission to be reduced to the 1995 or 2000 level seems to be too high for Korean economy to bear. It is possible to find a reasonable level of carbon tax, however, if it can combine it with improvement of energy efficiency at the rate of 0.5% to 1% per year. For Korea to meet its obligation to reduce $CO_2$ emissions, therefore, it is imperative for her to improve energy efficiency as well as to develop alternative energy source reducing its dependence on fossil fuel.

Construction of large-scale structures such as dams would be suggested actively to cope with change of flood characteristics caused by climate change. However, due to environmental, economic and political issues, dams are not ideally constructed. Thus flood damage reduction planning projects would get started including washland or detention pond for sharing the flood in basin. The washland made artificially by human being is an area of floodplain surrounded by bank to be intentionally inundated by overflowing through overflow structure adjacent to main channel during flood season. Flood reduction capacity at just downstream of each washland could be affected by type, length, and crest elevation of overflow structure in addition to shape of design hydrograph, storage volume of washland, etc.. In this study flood reduction effects of washland are estimated for overflow weir type and gate type to compare the results of flood reduction respectively subjected to given hydrograph in sample site, the Cheongmicheon stream. It has been shown that even if gate type at overflow structure could yield more flood reduction than overflow weir type, economic aspect such as initial cost, operation cost and maintenance cost should be considered to select the type of overflow structure because flood reduction rate by gate type could not be significant value from engineering point of view.
