대기중의 암모니아가스와 암모늄염의 필터포집법에 관하여 연구하였다. 표준가스 발생장치로 발생시킨 암모니아가스를 3% 붕산-25% 글리세린 혼합액이 스며든 유리섬유 필터에 포집하였다. pH조절법으로 발생시킨 암모니아가스와 대기중의 암모니아를 5회씩 포집하여 측정한 결과 포집효율은 각각 96.4${\pm}$ 2.15%와 97.4${\pm}$1.06%였다. 시판되는 유리섬유 필터 및 Polycarbonate 필터에 대하여 암모니아가스의 흡착 및 탈리현상을 검토한 결과 유리섬유 및 석영 섬유 필터에서는 암모니아가스의 흡착과 약간의 암모늄염이 탈리되었으나, Polycarbonate 필터는 대기중의 암모늄염을 포집하는데 적합한 것으로 판단되었다. 지름 47mm의 필터에 20l/min의 유량으로 60분동안 대기를 포집하여 인도페놀법에 의한 분광광도법으로 측정 할 경우, 측정가능한 암모니아가스의 최저농도는 0.83ppb (약 0.63$\mug$/$m^3$)이다. 이 방법은 종래의 용액포집법에 의한 분광광도 측정법에 비하여 감도가 20배나 높으므로 대기중의 암모니아 농도의 변화를 단시간(약 60분)내에 측정할 수 있다.

활성코우크스 촉매상에서 $SO_2$와 $NO_x$의 제거는 1단계에서 $SO_2$가 $H_2SO_4$로 산화되고 2단계에서 $NO_x$가 $N_2$로 환원되는 2단계 반응으로 이루워진다. 2단계 영역에 미반응 $SO_2$가 유입되면 암모니아와로 반응하여 $NO_x$환원이 저하된다. 이러한 문제점을 해결기 위하여 본 연구에서는 황산으로 활성화된 코우크스 촉매상에서 $SO_2$와 $NH_3$와의 촉매반응에 의하여 생성된 물질의 규명과 반응성을 검토하고자 실험실 규모의 반응관을 이용하여 실험을 수행하고 반응전후 촉매의 원소분석, DTA, TGA, SEM를 조사 분석하였다. 반응온도에 따른 반응성을 검토하기 위해 $SO_2$의 반응속도와 반응속도의 경시변화에 따른 파과곡선 등을 측정하였다. 실험으로부터 얻어진 결과는 다음과 같다; 황산으로 활성화된 코우크스는 탄소성분은 감소하고 산소와 황성분(O+S)은 증가하였다. 활성 코우크스 촉매상에 형성되는 반응생성물은 황산암모늄($(NH_4)_2SO_4$)으로 반응관에 축적되어 압력손실을 일으켰다. 반응온도에 따른 전체적인 반응성의 크기는 $150^{\circ}C$ > $200^{\circ}C$ > $100^{\circ}C$의 순서이었다. 이는 활성코우크스에 흡착된 암모니아 흡착량과 상관성을 가지고 있었다.

The increase in the rearing intensity of pigs has caused deterioration in the pig house's internal environment such as temperature, humidity, ammonia gas, and so on. Traditionally, the widely used method to control the internal environment was through the manipulation of the ventilation system. However, the conventional ventilation system had a limitation to control the internal environment, prevent livestock disease, save energy, and reduce odor emission. To overcome this problem, the air-recirculated ventilation system was suggested. This system has a semi-closed loop ventilation type. For designing this system, it was essential to evaluate the ventilation rates considering the pressure loss of ducts. Therefore, in this study, pressure loss calculation and experiment were conducted for the quantitative ventilation design of a semi-closed loop system. The results of the experiment showed that the inlet through which external air flows should always be opened. In addition, it was also found that for the optimum design of the semi-closed loop ventilation system, it was appropriate to install a damper or a backflow prevention device rather than a ventilation fan.

In this paper, we propose a method to optimize the geometry and installation position of the mixer in the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system by computational fluid dynamic(CFD). Using the commercial CFD software of CFD-ACE+, the flow dynamics of the flue gas was numerically analyzed for improving the injection uniformity of the reduction agent. Numerical analysis of the mixed gas heat flow into the upstream side of the primary SCR catalyst layer was performed when the denitrification facility was operated. The characteristics such as the flow rate, temperature, pressure loss and ammonia concentration of the mixed gas consisting of the flue gas and the ammonia reducing gas were examined at the upstream of the catalyst layer of SCR. The temperature difference on the surface of the catalyst layer is very small compared to the flow rate of the exhaust gas, and the temperature difference caused by the reducing gas hardly occurs because the flow rate of the reducing gas is very small. When the mixed gas is introduced into the SCR reactor, there is a slight tendency toward one wall. When the gas passes through the catalyst layer having a large pressure loss, the flow angle of the exhaust gas changes because the direction of the exhaust gas changes toward a smaller flow. Based on the uniformity of the flow rate of the mixed gas calculated at the SCR, it is judged that the position of the test port reflected in the design is proper.

A 3-year-old female Connemara pony was referred to Jeju National University Equine Hospital because of weight loss and prolonged anorexia. On admission, heart and respiratory rates were slightly elevated while body temperature was within the normal range. The color of the conjunctival and oral mucosa was yellowish pink. The blood chemistry results showed that total bilirubin, aspartate aminotransferase, and gamma-glutamyl transferase levels were remarkably elevated while blood urea nitrogen was within the reference range. Transcutaneous abdominal ultrasound revealed an enlarged right lobe of the liver with prominently increased parenchymal echogenicity, reduced hepatic vessels, and rounded caudal border. The pony was tentatively diagnosed with chronic hepatitis and icterus; rest and supportive treatments were provided. Clinical signs aggravated on day 2 with hind quarter paresis and cranial nerve signs such as circling, drooping, jerking, and head pressing against walls. Recumbency and generalized ataxia (grade 5/5) were shown on day 3. Plasma ammonia concentration on day 3 was as high as 656 µmol/L. Necropsy and histopathologic examinations strongly supported a diagnosis of hepatic encephalopathy. This case of hepatic encephalopathy exhibited rapid progress from low to terminal grade within 4 days in a Connemara pony. The results provide well-established clinical and pathological data for future application.

인공신경망을 이용한 모델 개발에서 데이터의 품질은 모델 성능에 큰 영향을 주고, 양질의 충분한 데이터가 인공신경망 훈련을 위해 필요하다. 하지만, 공학 분야에서는 적은 양의 데이터로 모델을 개발해야 하는 경우가 자주 발생한다. 본 논문은 토양에 살포된 축산 분뇨로부터 암모니아 방출량에 대한 적은 수의 데이터(83 개)를 사용하여 인공신경망 모델의 예측 성능을 향상할 수 있는 방안을 제시하였다. Michaelis-Menten 식으로 표현되는 암모니아 방출량 문제는 11개 입력변수에 대하여 2개 출력변수로 구성되었다. 출력변수는 최대 질소 발생량(N_max, kg/ha)과 N_max의 절반에 도달하는 시간(K_m, h) 이다. 범주형 입력변수에 대해 다차원 등간격 기법인 one-hot encoding 을 이용하여 데이터 전처리를 수행하였고, 훈련데이터 66개에 대하여 generative adversarial network (GAN)을 이용하여 13개 데이터를 추가로 보강하였다. 또한, 인공신경망의 초매개변수인 은닉층 수, 각 은닉층 내 뉴런 수, 활성화 함수의 최적 조합을 찾기 위하여 Gaussian process (GP)를 사용하였다. 기존의 인공신경망 구조(Lim et al., 2007) 는 17개 평가데이터에 대하여 mean absolute error (MAE)는 K_m에서 0.0668, N_max에서 0.1860이었다. 본 연구에서 제시된 인공신경망 모델은 K_m에서 0.0414, N_max에서 0.0818로 MAE 가 기존 모델 대비 각각 38%, 56% 감소하였다. 본 연구에서 제시된 방법은 적은 양의 데이터를 갖는 문제에서 인공신경망 성능을 향상하기 위하여 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

Difficulties associated with bioartificial liver (BAL) preservation limit not only the commercialization of BAL, but also its clinical trials. In this study, the possibility of cold preservation of BAL cartridges containing porcine hepatocytes was examined at 4$^{\circ}C$. In an in vitro perfusion culture System, BAL cartridges maintained cytochrome P450 metabolic function for at least 50 days. However, all BAL cartridges completely lost their ammonia eliminating ability when stored at 4$^{\circ}C$. We a1so studied the effect of cell density on the maintenance of BAL liver function In a highly differentiated and healthy state. As expected, BALs containing a larger number of hepatocytes demonstrated higher metabolic functions. When metabolic functions were compared per gram of hepatotytes, no large differences were observed between devices containing different densities of hepatocytes. Decreased cell density did not Successfully prolong BAL function. The viability and function of isolated hepatotytes highly depend on the culture conditions, such as cell density, substrata, culture media, and additives to the culture media. Perfusion culture of BAL cartridges at 4$^{\circ}C$ gave a promosing result with respect to the maintenance of P450 activity. However, as indicated by the rapid loss of ammonia metabolic activity, many factors still remain to be optimized for preservation of BAL keeping high metabolic functions for a longer time.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of waste cooking oil (WCO) addition on ammonia (NH₃) emissions during the composting of dairy cattle manure under two aeration conditions. Methods: The composting tests were conducted using the laboratory-scale composting apparatuses (14 L of inner volume). Three composting treatments (Control, WCO1.5, and WCO3, with WCO added at 0 wt%, 1.5 wt%, and 3 wt% of manure, respectively) were performed in two composting tests: aeration rate during composting was changed from 0.55 to 0.45 L/min in Test 1, and fixed at 0.3 L/min in Test 2, respectively. The NH₃ emitted and nitrogen losses during the composting were analyzed, and the effect of the addition of WCO on NH₃ emissions were evaluated. Results: Both tests indicated that the composting mixture temperature increased while the weight and water content decreased with increasing WCO content of the composting mixtures. On the other hand, the NH₃ emissions and nitrogen loss trends observed during composting in Tests 1 and 2 were different from each other. In Test 1, NH₃ emissions and nitrogen losses during composting increased with increasing WCO contents of the composting samples. Conversely, in Test 2, they decreased as the WCO contents of the samples increased. Conclusion: The WCO addition showed different effect on NH₃ emissions during composting under two aeration conditions: the increase in WCO addition ratio increased the emissions under the higher aeration rate in Test 1, and it decreased the emissions under the lower aeration rate in Test 2. To obtain reduction of NH₃ emissions by adding WCO with the addition ratio ≤3 wt% of the manure, aeration should be considered.

Gallium nitride (GaN) powders and nanowires were prepared by using tris(N,N-dimethyldithiocarbamato)gallium(III) (Ga(DmDTC)$_3$) and tris(N,N-diethyldithiocarbamato)gallium(III) (Ga(DeDTC)$_3$) as new precursors. The GaN powders were obtained by reaction of the complexes with ammonia in the temperature ranging from 500 to 1100 ${^{\circ}C}$. The process of conversion of the complexes to GaN was monitored by their weight loss, XRD, and $^{71}$Ga magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectroscopy. Most likely the complexes decompose to $\gamma$ -Ga$_2$S$_3$ and then turn into GaN via amorphous gallium thionitrides (GaS$_x$N$_y$). The reactivity of Ga(DmDTC)$_3$ with ammonia was a little higher than that of Ga(DeDTC)$_3$. Room-temperature photoluminescence spectra of asprepared GaN powders exhibited the band-edge emission of GaN at 363 nm. GaN nanowires were obtained by nitridation of as-ground $\gamma$ -Ga$_2$S$_3$ powders to GaN powders, followed by sublimation without using templates or catalysts.

This study investigated diurnal fasting and postprandial total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) excretion rates in juvenile Oplegnathus fasciatus (rock bream; mean body weight 45.8±1.1 g) at three temperatures (15, 20, and 25℃) in a recirculating system (three replicates). The fish were hand-fed twice daily (09:00 and 17:00 h) with commercial food (46.7% protein) until satiation. The results showed that the fasting and postprandial TAN excretion rates were temperature-dependent. The mean hourly rates were 7.7 (15℃), 10.2 (20℃), and 11.9 (25℃) mg kg fish-1 h-1 for fasting and 34.0 (15℃), 47.8 (20℃), and 60.2 (25℃) mg kg fish-1 h-1 for postprandial. At each temperature, two postprandial TAN excretion peaks were observed 2-4 h after feeding; the second peak was always higher. The TAN loss to nitrogen consumption ratio was 41.1-46.8 % and increased significantly with increasing temperature. Temperature affected fasting and postprandial TAN excretion in juvenile rock bream, providing insight for culture management.
