최근 새로운 천연가스 수송/저장법으로 가스 하이드레이트 형성법이 주목받고 있다.본 연구에서는 천연가스의 저장 매체로 다공성 매질인 실리카 젤을 사용하였다. 다공성 실리카 젤을 사용할 경우 물과 기체의 접촉면적을 극대화 시킬 수 있어 가스하이드레이로의 전환율을 높일 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 천연가스 주성분인 에탄과 프로판 기체를 사용하였으며, 기공의 직경이 각각 6.0 nm, 15.0 nm, 30.0 nm, 100.0 nm의 다공성 실리카 젤을 사용하였다. 에탄은 270 $\sim$ 285 K의 온도범위와 9 $\sim$ 25 bar의 압력범위, 프로판은 260 $\sim$ 280 K의 온도범위와 1.8 $\sim$ 2.8 bar의 압력범위에서 기공 크기의 분포를 고려하여 하이드레이트(H)-물($L_W$)-기상(V)의 3상 평형점을 측정하였다. 측정 결과 기공의 크기가 작아질수록 각각의 벌크 상태의 에탄 및 프로판 하이드레이트에 비해 하이드레이트의 평형조건이 온도는 낮아지고 압력이 높아지는 저해효과가 커짐을 알 수 있었다. 천연가스 수송/저장으로서 응용을 고려할 경우 저해효과가 적은 100.0 nm이상의 다공성 실리카 젤을 사용하는 것이 적절할 것으로 사료된다. 본 연구에서 얻어진 결과는 천연가스 수송/저장뿐만 아니라 심해저 천연가스 개발, 이산화탄소 심해저장 등의 가스 하이드레이트 용용 연구에도 유용한 기초 자료가 될 것이다.

Quality changes of fruit vegetables were investigated during simulated export and marketing to find out the optimum shipping temperature. Fruit vegetables were loaded into a small refrigerated-container and kept for four days at various temperatures, and fruit quality was assayed immediately after harvest, 4 days after storage and 4 days after marketing at ambient temperature. In 'Back Seong Ilho' cucumber fruits, fresh weight loss was further reduced at $13^{\circ}C$ and $11^{\circ}C$ than at $15^{\circ}C$ and room temperature. Soluble solid contents remained at relatively lower levels when cucumbers were stored at $13^{\circ}C$ and $11^{\circ}C$. In 'Chun Ryang' eggplant fruits, fresh weight loss was greatly increased at all the temperatures (room, $12^{\circ}C,\;9^{\circ}C,\;and\;6^{\circ}C$). However, flesh browning, a primary quality factor of eggplant fruit, was most effectively inhibited at $9^{\circ}C$, whereas chilling injury occurred in fruit flesh at $6^{\circ}C$. Water loss of 'Eals Seinu' melon fruits was most inhibited and soluble solid contents at harvest were maintained for the longest period at $4^{\circ}C$. In 'Pe Pe' cherry tomatoes, storage at $10^{\circ}C$ and $7^{\circ}C$ seemed to more effectively inhibit metabolic changes and the incidence of cracking, the severest disorder than room temperature. But the fruits stored at $10^{\circ}C$ contained higher level of soluble solids than those at $7^{\circ}C$. The overall results suggest that the optimum shipping temperature range is 11 to $13^{\circ}C$ for cucumbers, around $9^{\circ}C$ for eggplant fruit, $4^{\circ}C$ for melons, and $10^{\circ}C$ for cherry tomatoes.

In this study, we evaluated the fruit quality indices and the incidence of physiological disorders of Korean new pear cultivar 'Whasan' to determine appropriate harvest time for exportation and to enhance storability and shelf-life of the fruits during simulated exportation and extending market environment under different temperature conditions. In the experiment of simulated exportation headed for North America including Canada and U.S.A., the fruits transported at $1^{\circ}C$ showed less weight loss than those of $5^{\circ}C$. Market temperature appeared as a key factor for keeping freshness of exported pear fruits rather than transportation temperature. Quality factors such as high flesh firmness and low incidence of fruit rot and physiological disorders including core breakdown and pithiness were attained at the fruits maintained at $18^{\circ}C$ when we compared with $25^{\circ}C$. The fruits of harvested early maturity at 135 day after full bloom showed 28.6 N of flesh firmness when the fruits stored at $1^{\circ}C$ of transportation and $18^{\circ}C$ of market temperature, while the fruits progressed $5^{\circ}C$ of transportation and $25^{\circ}C$ of market temperature dropped to 24.2 N during 30 days of shelf life. Also, a high incidences of physiological disorders and of fruit decay rates were obvious in the fruits distributed at $25^{\circ}C$ were observed approximately two times higher than the those of $18^{\circ}C$. Therefore, temperature management during marketing resulted as an important point for maintaining fruits quality in the process of pear fruit exportation.

This study examined the viability of canine oocytes following storage at 4 or 38$^{\circ}C$ for 5 h. Cumulus intact oocytes were collected from domestic dog following ovariohysterectomy at local veterinary clinics. In Exp I, the oocytes that collected from ovary transport different temperatures (4 or 38$^{\circ}C$) for 5 h, were cultured for (24 or 48 h). Survivability of oocytes judged by morphological appearance and PI (propidium iodide) staining. The survival rates at 4$^{\circ}C$ ovary transport group showed significantly lower than control group (0%; 0/129 vs. 72.9%; 129/177) 48 h after culture (P<0.05). In Exp II, to assess nuclear maturation of control group oocytes (ovary transported at 38$^{\circ}C$) after in vitro cultured for 24, 48 or 96 h. After 24 h and 48 h of culture, the metaphase I to metaphase II stages (MI to MII) was 8.3% (6/72) and 8.9% (9/101), and which was not increased at 96h (9.5%; 8/84). These results show that canine oocytes remarkably sensitive to low temperature and the percentage of oocytes reaching MI to MII did not increase 96 h after culture.

This study was carried out to compare the storability of Salsola komarovi Iljin and Suaeda maritima L. Dum which stored at different storage temperatures in MA storage. These plants that had grown in greenhouse packed with $50\;{\mu}m$ ceramic film and then stored in $2^{\circ}C$, $10^{\circ}C$, and $25^{\circ}C$ temperature. The fresh weight loss both plants was less than 1% in all temperature treatments. The highest fresh weight loss showed at $25^{\circ}C$ among storage temperature treatments in Salsola komarovi Iljin between plants. The highest carbon dioxide contents in package showed at $25^{\circ}C$ among storage temperature treatments in Salsola komarovi Iljin between plants, and at $2^{\circ}C$ and $10^{\circ}C$ temperature treatments remained less than 1%. Oxygen contents in package both plants showed the highest level at $2^{\circ}C$ temperature treatment, but Salsola komarovi Iljin showed less oxygen contents than Suaeda maritima L. Dum. Although there was no significant difference ethylene contents in package between $2^{\circ}C$ and $10^{\circ}C$ temperature treatments, the higher showed in $10^{\circ}C$ than $2^{\circ}C$ temperature treatments. The ethylene contents in package both plants were roughly $20\;{\mu}L{\cdot}L^{-1}$ and the higher was in Suaeda maritima L. Dum than Salsola komarovi Iljin at $2^{\circ}C$. As increasing the storage temperature, the contents of carbon dioxide and ethylene in package also increased in both plants. The carbon dioxide and ethylene contents of Salsola komarovi Iljin showed a significant difference between $2^{\circ}C$ and $10^{\circ}C$ temperature treatments, but Suaeda maritima L. Dum did not show. The shelf life of Salsola komarovi Iljin based on visual quality was 14 days at $2^{\circ}C$ temperature treatment and 7.5 days at $10^{\circ}C$ temperature treatment. However, the shelf life of Suaeda maritima L. Dum did not show a significant difference between $2^{\circ}C$ temperature treatment that was 11 days, and $10^{\circ}C$ temperature treatment that was 9.5 days. Considering visual quality and gas contents in package, Suaeda maritima L. Dum might appear chilling injury at $2^{\circ}C$ temperature treatment.

The heat transportation from a complex of industry to a rural area needs more efficient method because the distance between them is usually more than 10km. Conventional heat transportation using steam or hot water via pipe line has limits in transportation distance (about 3-5 km) because of the heat loss and frictional loss in the pipe line. Metal hydride can absorb or discharge hydrogen through exothermic and endothermic reaction. After releasing hydrogen from metal hydride with heatings by waste heat from industry we can transport this hydrogen to the rural area via pipe line. In the urban areas other metal hydride reacts with this hydrogen and produces heat for heating. Cool heat is also obtained if it is possible to use metal hydride with low reaction temperature. So metal hydride can be used as a media for transportation, storage of heat. Some problems of the heat transportation using metal hydrides, and the example of heat transportation system were discussed.

A third of primary energy is lost as a waste heat. To improve this inefficient use of energy, systems using chemical reaction have been suggested and studied. In this study, methanol decomposition/synthesis reaction as a chemical reaction was selected for long time heat storage and long distance heat transport system because of safe, cheap and gaseous product. The purpose of this study is to find the optimal conditions in the methanol decomposition and synthesis reactions for long distance heat transport. Several parameters such as reaction temperature, pressure, $H_2$/CO ratio, space velocity, catalyst particle size were tested to find the effects on the reaction rates for the methanol synthesis. And the reaction temperature, space velocity, catalyst particle size were tested to find the effects on the production concentration for the methanol decomposition.

The concentrations of gaseous ammonia and particulate ammonium emitted from a urea plan were measured, and the conversion rate of ammonia to ammonium was estimated. The conversion of ammonia to ammonium has two stages with transport time in the atmosphere. In the initial 15min the conversion rate was 3.2% min$^{-1}$, and thereafter 0.26% min$^{-1}$. The high conversion rate of ammonia to ammonium at the initial period of it's transport might be due to the dissolution of ammonia into water droplets formed by the decrease in temperature of the stack effluent. The concentration of ammonium is further increased by the decomposition of urea in alkaline droplet formed. Half-lives of ammonia gas at initial and latter slag were 16 min and 192 min respectively. No correlation of particulate ammonium concentration to temperature, relative humidity, and concentrations of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and airborne particulate matter were found in this field measurement.

The thermal analysis on the spent fuel shipping cask for a PWR fuel assembly is performed. Under the normal and fire-accident conditions the temperature distribution through a multilayer cask calculated in compliance with 10 CFR Part 71. A KNU 5&6 spent fuel assembly is assumed to be the decay heat source, which has the maximum discharge turnup of 45, 000MWD/MTU and has been stored in the spent fuel storage pool for 300 days. As a result of thermal analysis, the maximum cladding temperature in case of dry cavity under fire-accident conditions is calculated to be 455$^{\circ}C$. This value is much less than the limiting value specified in 10 CFR Part 50.46. It indicates that no fuel rod cladding rupture could occur under fire-accident conditions. It was also found that no melting of lead would take place in the major shield region.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of pretreatment and shipping temperature on leaf chlorosis in cut Lilium Oriental hybrid 'Siberia'. Cut lilies were shipped under various temperatures (5, 10, 15, $25^{\circ}C$) for 5 days. When cut lilies were shipped at $25^{\circ}C$, leaf chlorosis was accelerated. However, chlorosis was significantly decreased by shipping at 5 to $15^{\circ}C$. In addition, leaf chlorosis was significantly decreased when the cut lilies were pretreated with a solution containing Promalin (BA + $GA_{4+7}$) as compared to the control. Promalin completely prevented postharvest leaf chlorosis, whereas $GA_3$ and Chrysal SVB were ineffective. Leaf chlorosis decreased more with Promalin dip treatment than with spray treatment. This pretreatment solution also extended the vase life of cut lilies. When cut lilies were pretreated with Promalin, yield (Fv/Fm) of chlorophyll fluorescence was highly maintained. Especially chlorophyll content was significant increased by Promalin treatment. Thus, shipping between 5 and $15^{\circ}C$ and Promalin dip pretreatment significantly decreased leaf chlorosis in cut 'Siberia' lilies.
