Biodiesel fuel(BDF) can be effectively used as an alternative fuel in diesel engine. However, BDF may affect the performance and exhaust emissions in diesel engine because it has different physical and chemical properties from diesel fuel such as viscosity, compressibility and so on. To investigate the effect of injection timing on the characteristics of performance and exhaust emissions with BDF in IDI diesel engine, it was applied the BDF derived from soybean oil in this study. The engine was operated at seven different injection timings from TDC to BTDC $12^{\circ}CA$ and six loads at a single engine speed of 1500rpm. When the fuel injection timing was retarded, better results were showed, which may confirm the advantages of BDF. The simultaneous reduction of smoke and NOx was achieved at some fixed fuel injection timings of an IDI diesel engine.

A CRDI diesel engine used to commercial vehicle was fueled with 20% biodiesel fuel(BDF 20) in excess of 150 hours. Engine dynamometer testing was completed at regularly scheduled intervals to monitor the engine performance and exhaust emissions. The engine performance and exhaust emissions were sampled at 1 hour interval for analysis, Also, BSEC with BDF 20 resulted in lower than with diesel fuel. Since the biodiesel fuel used in this study includes oxygen of about 11%, it could influence the combustion process strongly. So, BDF 20 resulted in lower emissions of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and smoke emissions without special increase of oxides of nitrogen than diesel fuel. It was concluded that there was no unusual deterioration of the engine, or any unusual change in exhaust emissions from using the BDF 20.

The purpose of this study was to estimate seasonal variation of nutritional intake and quality in adults in longevity areas. Dietary survey was given to 469 subjects over age 20 living Bukjeju-gun, Yecheon-gun, and Sunchang-gun of Korea, using 24-hour recall method every 4 seasons over one-year period. The mean daily intakes (%RDA) of 4 seasons were 1313.3 ㎉ (72.0%) for energy, 47.3 g (82.2%) for protein, 20.2 g for fat, 228.0 g for carbohydrate, 12.8 g for dietary fiber. The differences were hardly significant among the seasons. Mean daily intakes of most of the vitamins and minerals were lower than RDA except vitamin C and folate, especially %RDAs of Ca, vitamin D, vitamin B$_2$, vitamin E were less than 60% of RDA. In general, nutrient intake were high in spring compared to other seasons except vitamin C which was high in fall and winter. Mean daily intakes of cholesterol were 151.7 mg and 124.3 mg in males and females, respectively. The differences was significant between the two sexes but not among the seasons. PUFA : MUFA : SFA ratio of the subject was 1.0 : 1.3 : 1.2. Average CPF ratio of energy intake was 72.7 : 14.4 : 12.9, and energy intake ratio from carbohydrate was low in spring, in contrast energy intake ratios from protein was significantly high in spring. Mean adequacy ratio (MAR), an index of overall nutritional quality was 0.64 for female and 0.71 for male. The indices of nutritional quality (INQ) were over 1 for most of nutrients except 0.73 of Ca, 0.87 of vitamin A, 0.69 of vitamin B$_2$, and 0.65 of vitamin E. Both MAR and INQ were significantly different among sex and seasons, values were higher in males than in females and were higher in spring with the exception of vitamin C. In conclusion, subjects in longevity areas did not consume enough nutrients quantitatively as well as qualitatively, especially Ca, vitamin A, vitamin B$_2$, and vitamin E. Also mean daily intakes of most of vitamins and minerals were insufficient in females, and were significantly different among season. Therefore we must consider a counterplan to augment nutrition intake for them. In addition, it seems to be essential to micro nutrients to the food composition database to estimate dietary intakes more accurately.

Earth outer core is composed of iron mainly with some diluent elements, which account for the observed ca. 10% density deficit compared to the pure iron. Among candidates as the light diluents, hydrogen and oxygen were selected, and the thermodynamic stability of the following reaction was calculated; hematite + hydrogen $\to$ goethite + iron. At ambient conditions, Gibb's free energy of this reaction is 12.62 kJ/mol. On increasing pressure at room temperature, it decreases to zero at 0.068 GPa. This energy decreases at constant rate down to 200 GPa, which shows -208.26 kJ/mol at that pressure. From these results, this chemical reaction prefers the reduction environment forming the iron element and iron oxyhydroxide, so possible presence of iron oxyhydroxide with iron at proto-core can not be ruled out.

As one of the methods for recycling the FRP from the small and medium waste ships, separation of roving layer from the mat has some merits in a sense of the recycling energy and the environmental effects. Similar characteristics, however, between the roving and the mat even with different ratio of the resin and the glass and the thickness of the roving, much thinner than the mat, make the mechanically automatic differentiation difficult. In this study spectrochemical differentiation between the two layers has been made using (1) boiling concentrated sulfuric acid which can dissolve the resin in the FRP layer, (2) methanol and isopropanol solution saturated with KOH which can dissolve the glass, or (3) hydrogen fluoride(HF) solution which can reacts with $SiO_2$ fragments of the glass. Furthermore coloring water-soluble dye following the HF treatment makes the roving layer more distinguishable photo-physically.

This study aims to introduce greenhouse gas emission trading in Korea as a highly cost-effective mechanism for controlling emissions. The Basic Act on Low-Carbon Green Growth will cover methods of emissions allocation, national inventory, and trading systems (i.e. emissions trading platforms, national registry,and clearing and settlement platforms). The Korean emission scheme will be based on the Korean Climate Change Act proposed by the National Assembly and Government with a cap-and-trade scheme. The national allowances will be allocated by the hybrid system. To establish the national inventory, TRADEMARKS (Telemetering System) and emissions factors are effective for greenhouse gas emissions measurement. It will likewise be effective for the national registry to be implemented via a Korean Integrated Registry, the emissions trading platform via the KRX (Korean Exchange), and the clearing and settlement platform via the KSD (Korean Securities Depository). In other words, the KRX will manage product development and marketing for Korean Carbon Financial Instruments (including commodities, futures, and options contracts) listed and admitted to trading on the KRX. All emissions trades will be standardized and cleared by the KSD.

Oxygen consumption (OC), ammonia nitrogen (AN ) excretion and body composition were measured to study the effects of energy/protein ratio (EPR) on the utilization of protein and energy in juvenile rockfish, Sebastes schiegeli. Juvenile rockfish were divided into three groups that they fed three isocaloric diets (3,5kcal/g) containing 30 (I), 40 (II) or $50\%$ crude protein (III). EPR of the three experimental diets were 11.5 (I), 8.7 (II) and 7.0kcal/g III), respectively. Juvenile rockfish (wet wt. 2.9-3.1g) were cultured in 501 aquaria with the constant environmental condition of $20-24^{\circ}C$ water temperature and $34\%o$ salinity. For 24 hr after feeding the diets, juvenile rockfish fed diet III had a higher OC than did the fish from groups fed diets I and II, and average OC of the fish fed diets I, II and III were $0,93\pm0.02^a,\;0.92\pm0.02^a\;and\;1.03\pm0.03^bml\;O_2/g/h$, respectively. AN responses of juvenile rockfish to increasing levels of dietary protein (decreasing dietary EPR) were significantly different among three groups in which dietary protein at elevated levels increased the excretion of AN for 24 hr after feeding the diets. Average AN excretion of the fish fed diets I, II and III were $9.14\pm0.39^a,\;12.41\pm 0.53^a\;and\;14.89\pm0.55^c\;{\mu}g\;N/g/h$ respectively. The body protein content of the fish fed diet II for 59 days was significantly higher than that of the fish fed the other diets. But, there were no significant differences between three groups in body lipid, carbohydrate and ash contents. These results indicate that EPR of 9.7kcal/g (diet II) could be a optimum EPR in juvenile rockfish diet.

전자빔의 운동에너지를 변화시켜 전자기장을 발생시키는 진공튜브 장치는 기본적으로 전자빔 발생부인 전자총을 핵심 구성부로 사용한다. 이러한 전자총을 이용하는 진공튜브로는 핵융합을 위해 플라즈마 가열용의 RF를 발생시키는 자이로트론 튜브와 방사광 가속기에서 전자를 가속시키는데 이용되는 클라이스트론 튜브 등이 있으며, 군사적으로는 레이더를 비롯하여 유도미상일에 들어가는 탐색기, 전투기에서 사용되는 송수신용 마이크로파 발생장치 등의 핵심부품인 진행파관 진공튜브 등이 있다. 이러한 응용분야에서는 기본적으로 고출력의 전자파를 필요로 하기 때문에 반도체를 이용한 장치로는 그 성능을 구현할 수 없다. 따라서 열음극을 사용하는 전자총을 기반으로 한 다양한 형태의 진공튜브 장치가 주로 이용되고 있다. 현재 고출력 마이크로파 진공튜브용 열음극 전자총은 대부분 외국에서 수입하고 있는데 그 이유는 전자총의 핵심 부품인 열음극 캐소드를 국내에서 개발하지 못하였기 때문이다. 하지만 본 연구에서는 텅스텐 기반의 함침형 열음극 캐소드를 국내에서 자체 개발하는데 성공하였다. 전통적으로 미국에서 개발해온 함침형 열음극 캐소드는 텅스텐 소결체에 기공을 학보하고 여기에 Ba을 중심으로 한 알칼리성 물질들을 일정비율로 혼합하여 함침한 것으로 일함수 2.1~2.3 eV 수준의 물성을 갖는다. 이에 따라 방출할 수 있는 전류의 양은 운용 온도 $1000^{\circ}C$ 정도에서 전류밀도로 대략 수 $A/cm^2$ 수준이다. 본 연구에서 개발한 캐소드는 S-type으로 알려진 것으로 BaO : CaO : $Al_2O_3$ = 4 : 1 : 1 비율로 함침되었다. 고진공장치에서 전류측정 결과 $1040^{\circ}C$에서 $10.6A/cm^2$의 전류밀도를 기록하였으며 이에 대하여 Richardson-Dushman equation으로 계산하였을 때, 약 1.9 eV의 일함수를 갖는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이는 현재 많은 응용분야에서 사용하고 있으며 함침형 캐소드에 Os이나 Ir 등의 물질을 코팅하여 일함수를 낮추고 전류밀도를 향상시킨 M-type 캐소드의 결과와 유사한 수준이다.

The exhaust emissions of diesel engine are recognized as a major cause influencing environment strongly. In this study, the possibility of biodiesel fuel and oxygenated fuel(dimethoxy methane; DMM) was investigated as an alternative fuel for a naturally aspirated direct injection diesel engine. The smoke emission of blending fuel(biodiesel fuel 90vol-%+DMM 10vol-%) was reduced approximately 70% at 2500rpm, full load, in comparison with the diesel fuel. But, power, torque and brake specific energy consumption showed no significant differences. But, NOx emission of biodiesel fuel and DMM blended fuel increased compared with commercial diesel fuel due to the oxygen component in the fuel. It was needed a NOx reduction counterplan that EGR method was used as a countermeasure for NOx reduction. It was found that simultaneous reduction of smoke and NOx emission was achieved with BDF(95 vol-%) and DMM(5 vol-%) blended fuel and cooled EGR method(15%).

자연적으로 발생되는 파도, 비, 우박 등과 철도, 차량 및 엘리베이터 등과 같은 인위적인 설치, 이동에 의해 발생되는 진동에너지는 우리 일상생활에서 가장 흔하게 발생할 수 있는 에너지원인데, 이러한 진동에너지는 압전 소재를 이용하여 재생 가능하여 최근에는 이에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되어 왔다. 예를 들면, 미국의 MIT에서는 인간이 걸을 때 신발에 가해지는 압력을 이용하여 전력을 발생시키는 연구를 진행하여 2.9 mW의 전력을 얻었다. 특히 이러한 기술은 인간의 걷기 운동 등과 같은 일상적인 동작으로 필요한 전력을 얻을 수 있고, 세라믹 소자를 이용하기 때문에 전자노이즈가 발생되지 않을 뿐 아니라 반영구적으로 사용할 수가 있어서, 소형 전자기기 등에 서 기존 이차전지를 대체 또는 보완 할 수 있는 기술로 검토되고 있다. PZT계 세라믹스는 높은 유전상수와 우수한 압전특성으로 이러한 압전발전 분야에서 가장 널리 사용되어지고 있다. 하지만 에너지 효율을 높이기 위하여 적층 구조의 제작 시 구조적 특성상 내부전극이 도포된 상태에서 동시 소결이 필요한데, $1000^{\circ}C$ 이상의 높은 소결온도 때문에 소재 원가가 낮은 Ag전극 대신 값비싼 Pd나 pt가 다량 함유된 Ag/Pd, Ag/Pt 전극이 사용되고 있어 경제성이 떨어지는 단점을 갖게 된다. 순수 Ag 전극을 사용하거나 Ag의 비율이 높은 내부전극을 사용하기 위해서는 $900^{\circ}C$ 이하에서 소결되고 우수한 전기적 특성을 보이는 압전 세라믹스 소재를 개발 하는 것이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 압전특성이 우수한 $(Pb_{1-x}Cd_x)(Ni_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})_{0.25}(Zr_{0.35}/Ti_{0.4})O_3$ 계의 조성을 설계하고, 소결온도를 낮추기 위해서 2 단계 하소법을 이용하였다. 또한 $MnCO_3$, $SiO_2$, $Pb_3O_4$ 등을 소랑 첨가하여 액상 소걸 특성을 부여하여 소결 온도를 감소시키려는 시도도 하였다. 소결체의 전체적인 제조 공정은 일반적인 벌크 세라믹의 소걸 공정을 따랐다. 최종 소결된 시편을 XRD분석을 통하여 상을 확인하였고 SEM을 이용하여 미세조직을 관찰 하였다. 전기적 특성을 평가하기 위하여 두께를 1mm로 연마한 시편에 Ag 전극을 도포하여 $650^{\circ}C$ 에서 열처리한 후, 분극처리 하였다. Impedance analyzer를 이용하여 압전 특성 (전기기계결합계수 및 기계적품질계수)을 측정 하였고, 압전전하상수는 $d_{33}$-meter로 측정하였다. 본 연구에서는 압전체에 가해지는 하중의 크기, 시편의 크기, 하중을 가하는 방법, 에너지 저장회로의 최적화 등을 다양하게 시도하면서 에너지 변환 및 저장 효율을 평가하였다.
