For the photoproduction of molecular hydrogen by photosynthetic bacteria in outdoor conditions, we constructed automatically controlled semi-continuous culture system. When the amount of hydrogen gas produced can be measured by a gas meter with a pulse generator, the same amount of substrate consumed for hydrogen production could be supplied by micro pump related with timers. Using the apparatus, we examined hydrogen production with immobilized cells of Rhodopseudomonas sPhaeroides B6 in outdoor conditions. In spite of severe fluctuation of weather and illumination, the culture was maintained under good control with regard to hydrogen productivity. It was possible to automate the semi-continuous outdoor culture of photosynthetic bacteria for hydrogen production.

We implemented DPU(Double-Pass Gain-Clamped) L-band EDFA for highly efficient amplification. A lasing signal generated within the linear cavity, can minimize the fluctuation of surviving channels when several WDM(Wavelength Division Multiplexing) channels are added or dropped. The new method measuring the characteristics of transient response of surviving channels quantitatively is suggested. It is to measure the ratio of lasing output before add or drop to that after add or drop. We investigated dynamic characteristics by using this method according to lasing wavelengths and propagation directions within the cavity. Experimental measurements show that the short lasing wavelength and backward propagation direction is the best condition for small fluctuation of surviving channels.

우리나라는 1960년대 경제개발에 의한 산업화 이후, 토지이용이 꾸준히 확대되어 왔으며, 이로 인해 불투수면적 증가하였고, 배수시설의 확장은 표면조도계수 및 침투율을 급격히 감소시키는 요인으로 작용하여 우수 및 오수의 유출속도가 증가하여 홍수방어능력이 감소하였다. 또한 기후변화로 인한 국지성 집중호우의 발생빈도가 증가함에 따라 이로 인한 피해가 더욱 가중되고 있다. 현재 이에 대한 대응능력을 갖추기 위한 치수대책을 꾸준히 실시하고 있으나 주로 홍수량을 줄이기 보다는 증가하는 홍수량을 처리하기 위한 하천정비, 하수관, 유수지 및 펌프장 증설을 중심으로 이루어지고 있다. 이는 하천 하류의 홍수량을 증가시켜 하천주변에 침수피해를 일으키고 있어 보다 항구적인 대책이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 특정유역에 침수가 발생할 시 횡월류위어 가동방식(고정보-가동보)에 따라 미치는 침수영향에 대해 저류조 유입특성(총 유입량, 유입유량 첨두치), 침수지역 침수특성(첨두유량, 첨두수위, 첨두유속, 침수면적, 월류시간)을 정량적으로 분석하여 향후 저류지 설치에 따른 횡월류위어 가동방식 선정에 기여하고자 한다.

A blisk with rotor shroud is usually adopted in LRE turbine to maximize its performance. However it experiences severe thermal load and resulting damage during engine stating and stop. Shroud splitting is devised to relieve thermal stress on the turbine rotor. Structural analysis confirmed the reduction of plastic strain at the blade hub and tip. However, split gap at the rotor shroud entails additional tip leakage and results performance degradation. In order to assess the effect of shroud split on the turbine performance, tests have been performed for various settings of shroud split. For the maximum number of shroud splitting, measured efficiency reduction ratio was 2.65% to the value of original shape rotor.

21세기로 접어들면서 기후변화는 인류에게 가장 큰 위협적인 요소로 인류의 생활터전인 도시환경에 큰 영향을 미치고 있다. 그래서 기후변화와 빠른 도시화로 인해 도시지역의 물순환 문제를 해결하고, 지속 가능한 도시홍수 저감 대안 및 최적화 방안 메뉴얼을 제시하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 수재해 저감방법 및 최적화 기법에 대해 설명 하고, 이러한 개념을 적용할 수 있는 폭함수기반단위도법(WFIUH)을 소개하고 연구 대상지역을 선정하여 시범 적용했다. 시범유역을 대상으로 실질적으로 적용이 가능한 그린인프라 대안을 검토하고, 이 중 불투수면적 직접유출의 투수지역 전환, 투수포장 등을 적용하여 이의 영향을 정량적으로 고려하여 대상 유역에서의 첨두유출 감소효과를 분석하였다. 이를 토대로 펌프장 증설, 관망 개선과 같은 전통적인 도시홍수 저감 대안과 그린인프라 대안을 시나리오별로 적용하여 각 대안 조합 시나리오의 홍수저감 편익과 도입 비용을 산정하고, 경제성 평가를 통한 최적화된 대안을 도출하였다. 이러한 방법들은 인위적인 조작 및 운영으로 인한 위험성을 제거함으로써 기존의 구조적 대책들에서 발생할 수 있는 위험성을 보완할 수 있는 방법으로 사용할 수 있으며, 또한 기존의 구조적 대책 및 비구조적 대책과 병행을 할 경우 도시유역에서 발생하는 홍수에 대하여 적극적이며, 능동적으로 대처할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Agricultural workers who mix/loads and spray pesticide in fields expose to pesticide through dermal and inhalation routes. In such situation, exposed amount should be measured quantitatively for reasonable risk assessment. Patch, gloves, socks and mask will be good materials for monitoring for dermal exposure while personal air monitor equipped with solid adsorbent and air pump will be a tool for inhalation exposure. For extrapolation of absorbed amount in dermal exposure matrices and of trapped amount in solid sorbent to total deraml or inhalation exposure, Korean standard body surface area and respiration rate were proposed in substitution of EPA data. Important exposure factors such as clothing and skin penetration ratio of dermal and inhalation exposure were suggested based on Spraying time for exposure monitoring must be long enough that the amount of pesticide to get absorbed/trapped in exposure matrices results in reasonable analytical value. In domestic case for the both of speed sprayer and power spray machine, spraying time of 20~40 minutes (0.1~0.2 ha) will be reasonable per single replicate before extrapolating to 4 hours a day with triplicates experiment.

In this study, we write down the definitions, their causes and the techniques of analysis as a theoretical consideration of common cause failures, and investigate the limitation and the importance of the common cause failures by applying to the analysis on the fire protection as a representative safety facility. As you can know in the reliability analysis, most impressive cause is the malfunctions of pumping operations; especially the common cause failure of two pumps is dominant. In other words, it is possible to assess system-reliability as twice as actual without CCF From these, CCF is extraordinarily important and the results are highly dependent on the CCF factor. And although it would increase with multiple installations, the reliability are not defined as linear with those multiplications. In addition, the differences in results due to the models for analysis are not significant, whereas the various sources of data produce highly different results. Therefore, we conclude that the reliabilities are dependent on the quality of the usable data much better than the variety of models. As a result, the basic and engineering device for the preventions of CCF of the multiple facilities is to design it as reliably as to design the fire-water pump. That is to say, we must assess those reliabilities using PFD whether they are appropriate to SIL (Safety Integrity Level) which is required for the reliability in SIS (Safety Instrumented System). The result of the analysis on the reliability of the fire-water supply with CCF shows that PFD is 3.80E-3, so that it cannot be said to be designed as safely as in the level of SIL5. However, without CCF, PFD is 1.82E-3 which means that they are designed as unsafely as before.

RMembrane LNG storage tanks have been recently investigated to replace full-containment LNG storage tanks because of safety and cost aspects. Quantitative Risk Analysis (QRA) and Finite Element Method (FEM) were used to evaluate safety of membrane LNG storage tanks. In this study, structural safety evaluation results via FEM analysis showed that both membrane type and full-containment type cryogenic LNG storage tanks with 140,000 $m^3$ capacity were equivalently safe in terms of strength safety and leakage safety of a storage tank system. Also, Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) was used to improve the safety of membrane LNG storage tanks and membrane LNG tanks were modified by adding three safety equipments: impact absorber structure for the low part of the membrane, the secondary barrier to diminish the thermal stress of the corner part of the outer tank, and a pump catcher in case of falling of a pump. Consequently, the safety of the modified membrane LNG storage tanks were proved to be equivalent to that of full-containment LNG storage tanks.

The existence of shallow bedrock and the desire to use underground space necessitate the use of blasting methods. The standard blasting method under water after drilling is associated with certain technical difficulties, including reduced detonation power, the use of a fixed charge per delay, and decoupling. However, there is no blasting method to replace the existing blasting method. In this paper, a dry hole charged with ANFO blasting is assessed while employing a dry hole pumping system to remove water from the drill borehole. Additional standard blasting is also utilized to compare the blasting performances of the two methods. The least-squares linear regression method is adopted to analyze the blasting vibration velocity quantitatively using the measured vibration velocity for each blasting method and the vibration velocity model as a function of the scaled distance. The results show that the dry hole charged with ANFO blasting will lead to greater damping of the blasting vibration, more energy dissipation to crush the surrounding rock, and closer distances for the allowable velocity of the blasting vibration. Also, standard blasting shows much longer influencing distances and a wider range of the blasting pattern. The pilot test confirms the blasting efficiency of dry hole charged with ANFO blasting.

Non-revenue water reduction(NRW) technologies are implemented to evaluate and manage leakages scientifically in water distribution systems under local governments. A development of quantitative leakage indicator by measuring minimum night flow, pressure control policy by installation of PRV(pressure reducing valve) and the establishment of leakage prevention schemes by residual life modeling of deteriorated water pipes are reviewed and studied. Estimation models of allowable leakage are developed by measuring and analyzing minimum night flow at residential and commercial area in Nonsan city, which is suggested from UK water industry and can improve an existing leakage indicator for the evaluation of non-revenue water. Also, pressure control method is applied and analyzed to Uti distribution area in Sacheon city in the operation aspect. As results, $466\;m^3/day$ of leakage can be reduced and it is expected that 113million won of annual cost can be saved. In the part of corrosion velocity and residual life assessment, non-linear prediction models of residual thickness are proposed by assessment of corrosion velocity based on exposure years, soil and water quality etc., since the deteriorated water pipe play a major role to increase leakage. It is expected that collection data and analyzing results can be applied effectively and positively to reduce non-revenue water by accumulating surveying data and verifying the results in the business field of water distribution systems under local governments.
