내연기관 연구에 전념하는 모든 사람들의 한결같은 3대 염원은 연비향상, 비출력증대 및 유해 배기가스 성분 감소이다. 이중 비과급 가솔린 기관의 경우 비출력 증대를 위한 4-stroke cycle 엔진에서의 여구는 현지까지 헤아릴 수 없이 많은 연구가 진행되어 발전의 한계에 도달한 느낌 이다. 따라서 이의 실질적인 증대는 시각을 달리하여 2-stroke cycle로의 전환으로서만 가능하리 라 본다. 2-stroke 엔진은 원래 이목적으로 고안된 것이라는 것은 주지의 사실이다. 그러나 이 장치가 비출력면에서 효과적인 가솔린엔진의 경우에서도 현재까지 별로 각광을 받지 못한 것은 다음과 같은 몇가지 두드러진 이유 때문이라고 본다. 첫째 흡입연료의 일부가 소기(scavenging) 과정에서 배기공으로 곧바로 유출됨으로 배기 공해성분을 증가시키고 연료손실에 따른 연비저감 을 초래하는 것이다. 둘째로 crankcase 소기를 이용하는 소형가솔린 2-stroke 엔진에서는 새 공 기의 흡입이 충분치 못하여 일방적으로 높지 않은 소기효율을 고려한 최종 흡입 체적효율은 상당 히 낮아지게 됨으로써 목적하는바의 비출력 증대의 득을 별로 얻지 못함은 물론 잔류가스율이 높아 저부하, 저속도에서 엔진의 구동이 손조롭지 못ㅎ하고 시동이 어려워지는 특성을 나타나게 된다. 따라서 이러한 바람직하지 못한 결과를 감수할 수 있는 경우에는 소형원동기에 주로 2-stroke 가솔린 엔진이 이용되어 왔다. 요사이 이러한 약점들을 타개할 수 있는 고안들이 미국 SAE지에 소개되어 관심을 끌고 있어 이에 대해 요저먹으로 소개하고자 한다.

Recently, because of the increased oil prices globally, there have been studies investigating the improvement of fuel-conversion efficiency in internal combustion engines. The improvements realized in thermal efficiency using lean combustion are essential because they enable us to realize higher thermal efficiency in gasoline engines because lean combustion leads to an increase in the heat-capacity ratio and a reduction of the combustion temperature. Gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines enable lean combustion by injecting fuel directly into the cylinder and controlling the combustion parameters precisely. However, the extension of the flammability limit and the stabilization of lean combustion are required for the commercialization of GDI engines. The reduction characteristics of three-way catalysts (TWC) for lean combustion engines are somewhat limited owing to the high excess air ratio and low exhaust gas temperature. Therefore, in the present study, we assess the reaction of exhaust gases and their production in terms of the development of efficient TWCs for lean-burn GDI engines at 2000 rpm / BMEP 2 bar operating conditions, which are frequently used when evaluating the fuel consumption in passenger vehicles. At the lean-combustion operating point, $NO_2$ was produced during combustion and the ratio of $NO_2$ increased, while that of $N_2O$ decreased as the excess air ratio increased.

Although the environmental conflicts regarding noise and vibration are continually increasing during construction, noise and vibration occurring in construction are only managed in construction phase. Noise and Vibration occurring in construction are considered to be insufficient, so we find that noise and vibration management in design phase has to be operated for reducing. The objective of this paper is to present noise and vibration management lists to consider in design phase for enhancing efficiency in noise and vibration management and to develop the appraisal sheets for designers to evaluate and the manuals to easily use management lists. To achieve this, we identify the noise and vibration management lists to consider in design phase through analyzing the previous literatures and confirm the 9 lists through conducting a research with experts in environmental area for verifying the propriety of lists. Also, this study applies to AHP technique to identify the priority and the weight evaluation among the lists. Through this study, we identify the most efficient lists, including from the low noise and low vibration methods, the noise and vibration reduction by blasting works, the installment and the arrangement of noise and vibration control equipments, for noise and vibration management in design phase. The achievement of this study will help to prevent the environmental disputes and conflicts in advance and will consider utilizing for the successful construction project.

The mixing treatment process using lime (CaO) and limestone ($CaCO_3$) as the immobilization amendments was applied for heavy metal contaminated filmland soils around Goro abandoned Zn-mine, Korea in the batch and pilot scale continuous column experiments. For the batch experiments, with the addition of 0.5 wt.% commercialized lime or limestone, leaching concentrations of As, Cd, Pb, and Zn from the contaminated filmland soil decreased by 70, 77, 94, and 95 %, respectively, compared to those without amendments. For the continuous pilot scale column experiments, the acryl column (30 cm in length and 20 cm in diameter) was designed and granulated lime and limestone were used. From the results of column experiments, with only 2 wt.% of granulated lime, As, Cd, and Zn leaching concentrations decreased by 63%, 97%, and 98%, respectively. With 2 wt.% of granulated limestone, As leaching concentration reduced from 135.6 to 30.2 ${\mu}g/L$ within 5 months and maintained mostly below 10 ${\mu}g/L$, representing that more than 46% diminution of leaching concentration compared to that without the amendment mixing. For Cd and Zn, their leaching concentrations with only 2 wt.% of limestone mixing decreased by 97%, respectively compared to that without amendment mixing, suggesting that the capability of limestone to immobilize heavy metals in the filmland soil was outstanding and similar to that of lime. From the column experiments, it was investigated that if the efficiency of limestone to immobilize heavy metals from the soil was similar to that of lime, the limestone could be more available to immobilize heavy metals from the soil than lime because of low pH increase and thus less harmful side effect.

최근 방사선 진단 영역에 이용되고 있는 증감지는 입사된 방사선의 감도를 증가시키기 위해 형광체를 사용하고 있으며, 외부의 에너지를 흡수하여 빛으로 방출하는 역할을 한다. 이는 방사선 검출기, 디스플레이, 의료기기 등 다양한 분야에 활용되고 있다. 필름에 X선을 노출 할 경우 형광체의 사용 유무에 따라 방사선 흡수 효율에 영향을 미치며, 이는 발광 효율 및 감도에 주요한 인자로 작용한다. 현재 상용화되어 있는 형광체는 낮은 발광 효율로 인한 한계를 가지므로, 발광 효율 향상을 위하여 제작 구조에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 이 중 반사막을 활용하는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 일반적으로 형광체의 제조를 위하여 보편적으로 이용하고 있는 스크린프린팅 방법에서 건조 공정을 수행 시 균일도가 감소하는 현상이 발생한다. 이러한 현상은 반사막의 증착을 불균일하게 만드는 원인으로 작용하고 빛의 산란을 초래하는 현상을 초래한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 증착 시 투명도 저하에 따라 반사율이 증가되는 반사막 성질을 가지며, 방수성 및 절연성과 같은 보호층 특성을 지닌 유기성 투명 박막 페를린에 대하여 연구하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 화학적 증기 증착법(Chemical Vapor Deposition, CVD)을 이용하여 투명 필름의 상단에 페를린을 코팅한 시편과 코팅하지 않은 시편으로 구분하여 제작하였고, 상단에 스크핀프린팅 방법을 활용하여 형광체를 도포 하였다. 시편 제작 후 실험은 시편을 필름 상단에 위치시키고, 일반진단에너지 대역(Model-SF 80)의 X선을 조사하였다. 이 후 현상기(model-pro14)를 통해 현상된 필름에 나타난 광학적 농도(Optical Density, O.D)를 농도계(Fluke Biomedical Nuclear Associates Densitometer)로 측정하였는데, 불확실성을 줄이기 위하여 총 5회를 측정하여 그 중 2번째로 높은 값을 도출하였다. 측정 결과, 페를린을 코팅한 형광체에서는 1.71의 O.D 값이 측정되었고, 페를린을 코팅하지 않은 형광체에서는 1.43의 O.D 값이 측정되었다. 이를 이용하여 투명도를 산출한 결과 상대적으로 약 1.76% 차이가 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 페를린 활용 시 환자의 피폭 선량 저감화 및 해상력 개선을 도모할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

In this study, to investigate the effect of stabilization of Pb-contaminated soil near a smelter site for the reduction of environmental risk of Pb leaching, commercial stabilizers were amended with the Pb-contaminated soil and evaluated leaching characteristics of Pb in soil by TCLP and SPLP leaching test. Also, performing sequential extraction procedure speciation of Pb in the amended soil was investigated. Limestone, AC-2 (Amron), Metafix (Peroxychem) that possess stabilization performance towards heavy metal in soil and mass production is available were selected as candidates. AC-2 contained a CaCO₃ and MgO crystalline phase, while Metafix had a Fe₇S₈ crystalline phase, according to XRD studies. Pb content in SPLP extract was lower than the South Korean drinking water standard for Pb in groundwater at 4% AC-2 and Metafix treatment soil, and TCLP-based stabilization effectiveness was more than 90%. The findings of the sequential extraction method of soil treated with Metafix revealed that fractions 1 and 2 of Pb, which correspond to relatively high mobility and bioavailable fractions, were lowered, while the residual fraction (fraction 5) was raised. As a consequence, the order of performance for Pb stabilization in polluted soil was Metafix>AC-2>limestone.

Ultrafast ultrasound imaging has been applied to various imaging approaches, including shear wave elastography, ultrafast Doppler, and super-resolution imaging. However, these methods are still challenging in real-time implementation for three Dimension (3D) or portable applications because of their massive data rate required. In this paper, we proposed an adaptive quantization method that effectively reduces the data rate of large Radio Frequency (RF) data. In soft tissue, ultrasound backscatter signals require a high dynamic range, and thus typical quantization used in the current systems uses the quantization level of 10 bits to 14 bits. To alleviate the quantization level to expand the application of ultrafast ultrasound imaging, this study proposed a depth-sectional quantization approach that reduces the quantization errors. For quantitative evaluation, Field II simulations, phantom experiments, and in vivo imaging were conducted and CNR, spatial resolution, and SSIM values were compared with the proposed method and fixed quantization method. We demonstrated that our proposed method is capable of effectively reducing the quantization level down to 3-bit while minimizing the image quality degradation.

Efforts for reducing greenhouse gas emission coping with climate change have also been performed in the field of water and wastewater works. In particular, the technical development for reducing energy has been applied in operating water distribution system. The reduction of energy in water distribution system can be achieved by reducing structural loss induced by topographic variation and operational loss induced by leakage and friction. However, both analytical and numerical approaches for analyzing energy budget of water distribution system has been challengeable because energy components are affected by the complex interaction of affecting factors. This research drew mathematical equations for 5 types of state (hypothetical, ideal, leak-included ideal, leak-excluded real, and real), which depend on the assumptions of topographic variation, leakage, and friction. Furthermore, the derived equations are schematically illustrated and applied into simple water network. The suggested method makes water utilities quantify, classify, and evaluate the energy of water distribution system.

기후변화로 인하여 전 세계적으로 이상기후가 진행되고 있다. 우리나라의 경우 홍수와 가뭄 등의 이상 강수가 빈번히 발생하고 있으며, 이로 인한 비점오염물질의 유출과 집적이 발생하고 있다. SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool)과 HSPF (Hydrological Simulation Program)등의 다양한 모델이 비점오염의 유출을 모의하기 위하여 활용되고 있으나, 농장 단위에서 유역 단위까지 다양한 대상지역에 대한 장기 모의와 BMP적용에 따른 효율평가가 어려운 실정이다. Texas A&M Agrilife Research에서 개발한 APEX(Agricultural Policy Environmental eXtender model) 모형의 경우, 농장 단위에서 유역 단위의 대상지역에 대하여 최대 100년까지 일단위 모의가 가능한 특징이 있다. 하지만 APEX 모형은 개발된지 상당한 시간이 지났으며, 데스크탑 기반의 모형이므로 다양한 플랫폼에서의 활용이 어려운 한계점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 1. 기존 데스크탑 기반의 APEX 모형을 웹에서 구동할 수 있도록 웹 기반 시스템을 구축하였으며, 2. 양분유출에 대한 모의 평가가 가능하도록 결과를 시스템화하는 모듈을 추가하였다. 또한, 3. 웹 기반 APEX 모형의 활용도를 위하여 최적관리기법을 적용할 수 있는 모듈을 개발 및 추가하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 향후 농업비점오염원 지역의 양분유출을 확인·예측하고 관리하기 위한 기초자료로 활용될 것으로 기대하며, 최적관리기법을 활용한 저감 정책을 수립하기 위한 평가도구로 활용될 수 있을 것이다. 또한, 기존 데스크탑 기반의 모형을 웹 기반으로 이전하였으므로, APEX 모형 혹은 다른 데스크탑 기반 모형들의 웹 이전을 통한 사용자 편의성 증대를 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다. 아울러 본 연구의 결과는 APEX 모형의 작물 매개변수가 국내 환경에 최적화 되어있지 않으므로 정확한 BMP 저감효과 모의에는 한계가 있으므로, 이에 대한 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

The in-situ remediation of a solidified stratum containing a large amount of fine-texture material like clay or organic matter in contaminated soil faces limitations such as increased remediation cost resulting from decreased purification efficiency. Even if the soil conditions are good, remediation generally requires a long time to complete because of non-uniform soil properties and low permeability. This study assessed the remediation effect and evaluated the field applicability of a methodology that combines pneumatic fracturing, vacuum extraction, and plasma blasting (the PPV method) to improve the limitations facing existing underground remediation methods. For comparison, underground remediation was performed over 80 days using the experimental PPV method and chemical oxidation (the control method). The control group showed no decrease in the degree of contamination due to the poor delivery of the soil remediation agent, whereas the PPV method clearly reduced the degree of contamination during the remediation period. Remediation effect, as assessed by the reduction of the highest TPH (Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons) concentration by distance from the injection well, was uncleared in the control group, whereas the PPV method showed a remediation effect of 62.6% within a 1 m radius of the injection well radius, 90.1% within 1.1~2.0 m, and 92.1% within 2.1~3.0 m. When evaluating the remediation efficiency by considering the average rate of TPH concentration reduction by distance from the injection well, the control group was not clear; in contrast, the PPV method showed 53.6% remediation effect within 1 m of the injection well, 82.4% within 1.1~2.0 m, and 68.7% within 2.1~3.0 m. Both ways of considering purification efficiency (based on changes in TPH maximum and average contamination concentration) found the PPV method to increase the remediation effect by 149.0~184.8% compared with the control group; its average increase in remediation effect was ~167%. The time taken to reduce contamination by 80% of the initial concentration was evaluated by deriving a correlation equation through analysis of the TPH concentration: the PPV method could reduce the purification time by 184.4% compared with chemical oxidation. However, the present evaluation of a single site cannot be equally applied to all strata, so additional research is necessary to explore more clearly the proposed method's effect.
