Recently, there has been a growing global interest in environmental conservation, and the field of electric power equipment has been working to become more environment-friendly. Accordingly, the low noise cooling fan of power transformers was developed through the improvement of blade shape. These are expected to apply to existing power transformers and low noise transformers. It is essential for low noise fan to possess good cooling performance as well as low audible noises. But, there was not analysis on the audible noise level and the cooling performance for low noise cooling fans until present. In this paper, we measure the audible noise level and the flow rate of low noise cooling fans to inspect the performance, Also, we confirmed that the low noise cooling fan is available to apply to power transformers through temperature rise tests of power transformers.

Red peppers(Capsicum annuum L.), 'Geumtap' and 'Bugang', were cultivated at main producing areas in Korea, and harvested 4 times in 1998 and 1999. The relationships between internal qualities such as reducing sugar, capsaicinoids, and vitamin C contents, and regional climatic elements such as total accumulated air temperature, total amount of precipitation and sunshine duration during the fruit growing periods were compared. The amount of reducing sugar increased as the harvest time was late. Capsaicinoids content varied by harvest dates and cultivated years. Vitamin C content was influenced by cultivated year more than cultivars. Reducing sugar content showed a negative relationship with total amount of precipitation but showed a positive relationship with sunshine duration. There were negative relationship between the contents of capsaicinoids and vitamin C and total amount of precipitation.

The objective of this study is theoretically to suggest the effective heat exchanger design method using boundary layer analysis. The boundary layer formation and interruption on rectangular plate and round plate fins are explained and the heat transfer coefficients showed with the variation of the velocity and temperature boundary layer. In addition, the flow pattern on one plate fin surface considered as external flow and flow pattern between fins considered as internal flow. As a result, theoretical method for the boundary layer interruption avoidance is suggested and the heat transfer coefficient of the round plate fin was higher than that of the rectangular plate fin because of the less thermal and velocity boundary layer thickness except the centerline.

In this study, modified catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CCVD) method was applied to control the CNTs (carbon nanotubes) growth. Since titanium (Ti) substrate and iron (Fe) catalysts react one another and form a new phase ($Fe_2TiO_5$) above $700^{\circ}C$, the decrease of CNT yield above $800^{\circ}C$ where methane gas decomposes is inevitable under common CCVD method. Therefore, we synthesized CNTs on the Ti substrate by dividing the tube furnace into two sections (left and right) and heating them to different temperatures each. The reactant gas flew through from the end of the right tube furnace while the Ti substrate was placed in the center of the left tube furnace. When the CNT growth temperature was set $700/950^{\circ}C$ (left/right), CNTs with high yield were observed. Also, by examining the micro-structure of CNTs of $700/950^{\circ}C$, it was confirmed that CNTs show the bamboo-like structure.

A bacteriocin producing microorganism, which inhibits the growth of Lactobacillus sake, was screened and isolated from Kimchi. This microorganism was identified and named as Lactobacillus sp. Oh-B3, The maximum amount of bacteriocin was produced when the isolated microorganism was cultured in MRS media(pH 8.0) for 24 hours at 25℃. The bacteriocin from the isolated microorganism was purified through ammonium sulfate precipitation, dialysis and ultrafiltration. The bacteriocin was stable on the wide pH range of 2.0-9.0, and showed antimicrobial activity on some of gram positive bacteria, not on gram negative. The antimicrobial activity of bacteriocin was mostly removed by treatment of proteolytic enzymes. But, the bacteriocin was very stable on the heat treatment, and more than 50％ of activity was remained at autoclaving. The action mode of the bacteriocin showed bacteriocidal pattern, being same as that of general bacteriocins.

To examine the influences of water temperature and stocking density on feeding, growth and blind-side hypermelanosis of the starry flounder Platichthys stellatus, we performed an experiment with fry at two densities: 2 and 8 fish/L. The fry had a total length of $3.2{\pm}0.1cm$, body weight $0.6{\pm}0.1g$, and pigmented patches (pigmented ratio $2.6{\pm}0.4%$) on the blind side. Duplicate experiments were conducted in 93.7 L glass tanks for 120 days, from July to November. We determined daily food intake (DFI), food efficiency (FE), growth, survival rate, ratio of hypermelanic fish, and pigmented area rate on the blind side at 60-day intervals. The DFI was less than 50 mg/fish/day, and growth was delayed from July to September (water temperature [WT]> $20^{\circ}C$). After October, when WT < $20^{\circ}C$, the DFI increased significantly and the growth was accelerated, suggesting that the rearing temperature of starry flounder in artificial facilities should be < $20^{\circ}C$. While the FE, and survival did no differ between the two density groups, DFI and growth were significantly higher at 2 fish/L than at 8 fish/L. There was no difference in the pigmented area ratio between the two density groups. Although the hypermelanosis was not correlated with body size, the malpigmentation increased with growth. These results suggest that a high stocking density is not the main cause of blind-side hypermelanosis, although it can accelerate hypermelanosis in the starry flounder.

The objectives of this research are to remove dissolved organic matter and nitrogen compounds by using aerated submerged bio-film(ASBF) reactors in batch systems and improve understanding of dissolved organic matter and nitrogen compounds removal rates with dynamic relationships between heterotrophic and autotrophic bacteria in the fixed-film reactor. This research explores the possibility of enhancing the performance of shallow wastewater treatment lagoons through the addition of specially designed structures. These structures are designed to encourage the growth of a nitrifying bacterial bio-film on a submerged surface. Specially, the effects of cold temperatures on the dissolved organic matter and ammonia nitrogen performance of the ASBF pilot plant was investigated for the batch system. It is anticipated thai the ASBF would be used for a design of biological treatment for removing of dissolved organic matter and nitrogen compounds in new wastewater treatment plants as well as existing wastewater treatment plants.

Solar power generation system is a energy generation technology that produces electricity from solar power, and it is growing fastest among renewable energy technologies. It is of utmost importance that the solar power system supply energy to the load stably. However, due to unstable energy production due to weather and weather conditions, accurate prediction of energy production is needed. In this paper, an Artificial Neural Network(ANN) that predicts solar energy using 15 kinds of meteorological data such as precipitation, long and short wave radiation averages and temperature is implemented and its performance is evaluated. The ANN is constructed by adjusting hidden parameters and parameters such as penalty for preventing overfitting. In order to verify the accuracy and validity of the prediction model, we use Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) and Mean Absolute Error (MAE) as performance indices. The experimental results show that MAPE = 19.54 and MAE = 2155345.10776 when Hidden Layer $Sizes=^{\prime}16{\times}10^{\prime}$.

광전환 효율 20% (AM1.5G) 이상의 고효율 화합물 박막태양전지의 광흡수층으로 많은 관심을 받고 있는 $Cu(In,Ga)Se_2$ (CIGS) 태양전지의 광흡수층은 다양한 공정에 의해 제조가 가능하다. 현재 고효율 CIGS 셀 생성을 위해 널리 사용되고 있는 CIGS 흡수층 성장공정은 "co-evaporation (동시증발법)"과 2-step 공정이라 불리는 "precursorselenization(전구체-셀렌화)" 방법이다. 동시증발법은 개별원소 Cu, In, Ga, Se들을 고진공 분위기에서 고온(550~600$^{\circ}C$) 기판위에 증착하는 방법으로 소면적에서 가장 좋은 효율(~20%)을 보이는 공정이다. 하지만, 고온, 고진공 공정조건과 대면적 증착시 온도 및 조성 불균일 등의 문제점 등으로 상용화에 어려움이 있다. 전구체-셀렌화 공정은 1단계에서 다양한 방식(예: 스퍼터링, 전기도금, 프린팅 등) 방식으로 CuGaIn 전구체를 증착하고, 2단계에서 고온(550~600$^{\circ}C$)하에 H2Se gas 혹은 Se vapor와 반응시켜 CIGS를 생성한다. 일본의 Showa Shell와 Honda Soltec 등에 의해 이미 상업화 되었듯이, 저비용 대면적으로 상업화 가능성이 높은 공정으로 평가되고 있다. 하지만, 2단계에서 사용되는 H2Se 및 Se vapor의 유독성, 기상 Se과 금속전구체 간의 느린 셀렌화 반응속도, 셀렌화반응 후 생성된 CIGS 박막 두께방향으로의 Ga 불균일 분포, 생성된 CIGS/Mo 계면 접착력 저하 등의 문제점들이 개선, 해결되어야만 상업화에 성공할 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구에서는 Se layer가 코팅된 금속전구체의 셀렌화 반응메카니즘을 in-situ high-temperature XRD를 이용하여 연구하였다. 금속전구체는 스퍼터링, 스프레이 등 다양한 방법으로 제조되었고, 반응메카니즘 연구결과를 바탕으로 Se 코팅된 금속전구체를 이용한 급속열처리 공정의 최적화를 시도하였다.
