미분탄 순산소 연소는 기존의 연소 방법과는 달리 산화제로 O2/CO2를 사용함으로써 NOx의 발생을 감소시킬 수 있으며, 고농도의 CO2를 쉽게 회수 할 수 있어 큰 주목을 받고 있다. NOx의 배출저감을 위한 기술로는 로 내에서의 재연소(reburning), 단계(staging) 연소등이 있으며, 후처리 NOx 저감기술로는 SCR, SNCR등이 있다. 그러나 이러한 기술들은 비용이 비싸다는 단점이 있으며, 미분탄 순산소 연소조건에서는 화염 안정성이 감소하는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 화염의 안정성과 밀접한 관련을 가지는 화염전파속도에 대해 미분탄 순산소 연소에서 석탄 입자의 물성치와 주위 기체의 특성이 화염전파속도에 미치는 영향을 수치적 방법을 통하여 해석하였으며, NO 저감의 한 방법인 연소가스 재순환(Flue Gas Recirculation)에 따른 연소특성 및 NO 생성 메커니즘의 영향과 석탄을 가스화 시키는 방법에 따른 연료의 연소특성에 대해 해석하였다.

서 론: 중환자실에서 집중적 인슐린 요법에 의한 평균혈당강하는 사망률을 감소시키는 것으로 나타났으나 이로 인한 저혈당 및 혈당변동은 새로운 문제로 대두되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 혈당과 관련한 여러 요인들이 사망에 미치는 영향을 규명하고 적정 혈당치를 확인하고자 하였다. 연구방법: 2008년 2월부터 7월 사이인 6개월 동안 서울아산병원 외과계 중환자실에서 4일 이상 재실한 18세 이상의 성인 환자를 대상으로 전자 의무기록 조사를 통해 후향적으로 연구가 진행되었다. 연구를 위해 환자의 인구학적 특성, 수술의 종류, 중환자실에서의 재실기간, 사망여부, 스테로이드 사용 유무, 기계적 인공호흡기의 사용유무, 신대체요법의 사용유무, 혈당치, 재실기간 중 스테로이드 사용유무와 인슐린 양, 입원 후 첫 24시간 동안의 포도당 주입속도, 입원 후 2일 이내와 그 이후에 발생한 균혈증 감염, APACH II와 SOFA 점수를 조사하였다. 혈당수치는 각각의 환자에서 중환자실 입실 후 가장 처음 측정된 혈당, 재실기간 중 가장 높은 혈당과 가장 낮은 혈당수치를 조사하였고 중환자실 전체 재실기간 동안 혈당수치의 평균과 변동계수를 계산하였다. 이상의 혈당관련지표를 포함한 인자들이 일차 종속변수인 사망에 어떠한 영향을 주는지를 환자를 생존군과 사망군으로 나누어 분석하였고 ROC (receiver operator characteristic) 곡선을 사용하여 혈당지표와 APACH 및 SOFA 점수의 cut-off치를 구하여 이로부터 단변량 및 다변량 분석을 시행하였다. 결 과: 연구에 포함된 환자는 170명 이었고 그 중 23명이 연구 기간 중 중환자실에서 사망하였다. 생존자에 비해 사망자의 최대혈당은 유의적으로 높았고 최소혈당치는 유의적으로 낮아 높은 변동계수를 보였다. ROC곡선으로부터 산출된 혈당치들의 cut-off 수치는 최소혈당치 70 mg/dL, 변동계수 25%, 최대혈당치 250 mg/dL, 평균혈당치 150 mg/dL이었다. 다변량분석에서 최소혈당이 70 mg/dL 보다 큰 경우가 낮은 경우에 비해 오즈비가 0.922(95% 신뢰구간 0.881-0.965)로 유의성 있게 낮았으며 변동계수가 25% 보다 높은 집단의 경우 그보다 낮은 집단에 비해 오즈비가 1.121(95% 신뢰구간 1.017-1.236)로 유의성 있게 높았다. Kaplan-Meier 생존분석 결과 최소혈당치 70 mg/dL와 변동계수 25%에 따라 생존기간에 유의성 있는 차이가 나타났다.(각각 P < 0.001, P < 0.05) 결 론: 고혈당 발생의 감소뿐 아니라 최소혈당치를 70 mg/dL 이상으로 유지하면서 변동을 최소화하는 것이 외과계 중환자실에서의 사망률감소를 위한 중요한 요인임을 알 수 있었다.

Vertical structures of wind-driven and tidal currents in a rectangular shaped uniform-depth basin of homogeneous water have been investigated using a mode-splitted, multi-level grid-box, hydrodynamic numerical model. The model was verified using analytical solutions for various vertical eddy viscosity profiles such as: a constant eddy viscosity, a linearly decreasing or increasing variation with depth, a quadratic variation with depth and an exponential variation with depth. Particular attention has been paid on the effects of "near-surface wall layer" on vertical shear of velocity. In numerical calculations, the whole water depth was divided into 13 levels with an unequal grid spacing. the model satisfactorily reproduces the velocity profile, but in case the eddy viscosity decreases rapidly with depth as in quadratical or exponential variation with depth, the vertical gradient of velocity near the bottom became very steep, and analytical solutions and numerical results showed some discrepancy. The vertical structures of horizontal velocity vary with both the depth-averaged value of eddy viscosity and its profiles. the velocity near the sea surface and near the bottom responded sensitively to the eddy viscosity of wall layer. For wind-driven current, the strong velocity shear was generated near the sea surface as eddy viscosity near the surface became small. For tidal current, the velocity above the sea bottom layer was almost constant regardless of the profiles of vertical eddy viscosity, but velocity in the sea bottom layer showed strong shear as eddy viscosity became small.

This study was conducted to remove the urban heat island effects embedded in the interpolated surfaces of daily minimum temperature in the Korean Peninsula. Fifty six standard weather stations are usually used to generate the gridded temperature surface in South Korea. Since most of the weather stations are located in heavily populated and urbanized areas, the observed minimum temperature data are contaminated with the so-called urban heat island effect. Without an appropriate correction, temperature estimates over rural area or forests might deviate significantly from the actual values. We simulated the spatial pattern of population distribution within any single population reporting district (city or country) by allocating the reported population to the "urban" pixels of a land cover map with a 30 by 30 m spacing. By using this "digital population model" (DPM), we can simulate the horizontal diffusion of urban effect, which is not possible with the spatially discontinuous nature of the population statistics fer each city or county. The temperature estimation error from the existing interpolation scheme, which considers both the distance and the altitude effects, was regressed to the DPMs smoothed at 5 different scales, i.e., the radial extent of 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, 3.5 and 5.0 km. Optimum regression models were used in conjunction with the distance-altitude interpolation to predict monthly normals of daily minimum temperature in South Korea far 1971-2000 period. Cross validation showed around 50% reduction in terms of RMSE and MAE over all months compared with those by the conventional method.conventional method.

In engineering practices, the superstructure was analyzed under a fixed boundary condition and the foundation was designed by considering the loading condition of superstructure. It may result in overestimation of forces, the bending moment, settlement of superstructure and foundation. In this study, an interactive analytical method is proposed for the interaction between the superstructure and the piled raft. The overall objective of this study is focused on the application of interactive analysis method for predicting behavior of entire structures. And a series of numerical analyses are performed to verify the interactive analysis routine in comparison to the unified analysis method. Through the comparative studies, it is found that the iterative and interactive analysis gave similar results of settlement and raft bending moment compared with those of finite element analysis. And it is also found that the proposed design method considering interaction between superstructure and foundation is capable of predicting reasonably well the behavior of entire structures. It can be effectively used to the design of a superstructure-piled raft foundation system.

In this study, the behaviors of friction pile groups are investigated using 3D finite element (FE) analysis. The emphasis was quantifying on the shear load transfer (f-w) characteristics of pile groups and the shaft group effects. A framework for determining the f-w curve is proposed based on both theoretical analysis and field load test database. Through comparisons with case histories and FE results, it is shown that the proposed f-w curve is capable of predicting the behavior of a friction pile in deep soft clay. Additionally, a numerical analysis that takes into account the group efficiency factors were performed for major parameter on group pile-soil interaction, such as the pile spacing, pile arrangement, soil condition, and location of pile cap. Based on these results, the shaft group efficiency factors were also proposed.

This study describes the three-dimensional behavior of pile foundations based on a numerical study. A series of numerical analyses were performed for connectivity conditions between piles and cap under vertical and lateral loadings. It is shown that a fixed connection between pile and cap is able to transfer significant bending moment through the connection and increases the pile lateral stiffness and the bending moment. Based on the results obtained, it was found that the cross sectional shear force in the raft with fixed head condition was larger than that of pinned head condition. Thus, the reinforcement of pile head and thickness of the raft also increases in fixed pile head condition. From the results, it is found that the overall behavior and cross sectional forces of pile foundations is affected significantly by the pile head conditions. Furthermore, the design of pile foundations with pinned head condition was judged to be less costly and very useful for preliminary design stages.

Vegetable soybeans were blanched at 80, 90 and $100^{\circ}C$ for 30, 20 and 10min, respectively. NaCl(3%) was also used to measure the protective effect of soybean color. The color of vegetable soybeans was measured by colorimeter, -a value (greenness) was highest at $100^{\circ}C$-10min. However, the chlorophyll contents was highest at $80^{\circ}C$-30min. NaCl (3%) decreased the loss of chlorophyll in blanched vegetable soybeans. The reaction rate constant for the thermal degradation of chlorophyll and greenness doubled per $10^{\circ}C$. The activation energy chlorophyll a of pod for thermal degradation of chlorophyll a in pods were 138.02 (unsalted), 146.63 (salted) Kcal/mol, respectively.

Air-staged combustion is known to be one of the techniques of NOx reduction. The objective of this study is to determine the optimal ratio of air flow distributed for CCOFA and SOFA; at this optimal ratio, the combustion and exhaust emission characteristics of a pulverized coal-fired boiler are maintained at a satisfactory level. A numerical investigation was performed at various airflow ratios of 16.7/83.3%, 25/75%, 50/50%, 75/25%, and 83.3/16.7%. An inert gas was considered as a substitute for air to isolate the effects of the cooling process and chemical reaction on NOx reduction; during NOx reduction in air-staged combustion, both the effects typically occur simultaneously. The results of our study show that the optimum condition, under which the maximum NOx reduction and highest boiler efficiency can be obtained, corresponds to the equal splitting of the over-fire air between CCOFA and SOFA.
