In the design of an electric power plant, the capacity to meet the peak load demand is one of the important factors to be considered. This peak load usually occurs when the most of the cooling air conditioning systems are being operated during daytime in summer season, which inevitably entails the construction of an additional electric power plant. This study is aimed to carry out a basic experiment for the development of a cooling air conditioning system using the ice energy by the surplus electric power during the night-time. The experimental apparatus consists of four major parts; (1) the heating section consisting of the air duct and I.D. fan, (2) the cold section with the ice chamber, (3) the bundle of heat pipes made in a form of the staggered arrangement with ${C_y}/{d_o}$=2.0 and ${C_x}/{d_o}$=1.73, (4) the refrigerator system to cool down the ice chamber. This study involves an intensive experiment concerning the convective heat transfer of the air flow surrounding the bundle of heat pipes. This major experimental parameters are the amount of working fluid, the velocity of air and the working temperature. The major findings of the present study are as follows; (1) The optimum amount of the working fluid necessary for the horizontal heat pipes is much more than that for the vertical type. (2) The convective heat transfer coefficients of the air are coincided with the empirical equations of Grimson and ${\breve{Z}ukauskas}$. (3) The equation of the mean heat transfer coefficient obtained in the present study is ${N_um}=0.32 {Re_max^{0.63}}$.

This survey was conducted to investigate the current situation of ground condition of barn, moisture condition, feeding facilities, disinfection tool, etc. The data from a total of 305 farms were collected and analysed for establishment of managemental target in Hanwoo farm. The ground condition of barn was evaluated as a result of "moderate level" (46.4%). The moisture removal on the ground was conducted with the aid of electric fan (36.4%). The natural wind and sunlight should be used gradually for economic effect in farm. The exchange of floor straw was mostly conducted to remove the bad smell of barn (33.7%). 37.0% of farms had no the electric fan in internal barn, this instrument must be installed for control of body temperature and internal moisture in the future. Most of feeding facilities were operated by hand(88.2%). Modern farms should be installed with automatic feeding system. Farmer's skill of management was evaluated as a "2.80" of 5 points. Accordingly, farmers should be trained with high level of technical competitive skill. In conclusion, Hanwoo farms should be promoted and improved for enhancement of income through introduction to scientifically modern feeding skill.

When $Cu^{2+}$ was used as an electron acceptor, removal of $Cu^{2+}$ was achieved from the synthesized wastewater (SW) in the cathode compartment of a microbial fuel cell (MFC). By addition of $KNO_3$, the different initial pH of the SW showed no effect on the removal efficiency of $Cu^{2+}$. For $Cu^{2+}$ concentration of 50 mg/L the removal efficiencies were found to be 99.82%, 99.95%, 99.58%, and 99.97% for the $KNO_3$ concentrations of 0, 50, 100 and 200 mM, and to be 99.4%, 99.9%, 99.7%, and 99.7% for pH values of 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively. More than 99% $Cu^{2+}$ was removed for the $Cu^{2+}$ concentrations of 10, 50, and 100 mg/L, while only 60.1% of $Cu^{2+}$ was removed for the initial concentration of 200 mg/L (pH 3). The maximum power density was affected by both $KNO_3$ concentration and initial concentration of $Cu^{2+}$. It was increased by a factor of 1.5 (from 96.2 to 143.6 mW/$m^2$) when the $KNO_3$ concentration was increased from 0 to 200 mM (50 mg/L $Cu^{2+}$), and by a factor of 2.7 (from 118 to 319 mW/$m^2$) when $Cu^{2+}$ concentration was increased from 10 to 200 mg/L (pH 3).

Emission gas regulations and constantly increasing fuel costs call for the worldwide use of environmentally friendly and energy-efficient machines in industry. To meet these requirements, a hybrid excavator prototype has been developed that incorporates an electric swing motor, engine assist motor, and ultra-capacitor module into a conventional hydraulic excavator of the 22-ton class. This paper mainly describes a few techniques to optimize its energy efficiency. These include 1) controlling the engine speed in proportion to the load torque, 2) controlling the pump displacement when driving the electric swing system, 3) managing the ultra-capacitor voltage to minimize the electrical energy loss, and 4) reducing the cooling fan speed to improve the energy efficiency of the system.

According to global trend, despite the overall scale of agricultural industry has been downsized, agriculture accommodating cutting-edge ICT technologies has been proliferated, and various timely-issued relevant researches have been on progress to deploy the future food cultivation. In this paper, we propose an effective nutrient management system with web-based monitoring with functionality of controlling temperature, humidity, pH (hydrogen ion), EC (Electric Conductivity), LED and cooling fan to maintain the hydroponic nurturing environment being optimal. In this paper, in order the arduino hardware and java software are employed to control the nurturing environment automatically in optimal fashion. In proposed system, due to the usage of WiFi router with the socket communication and DB-assisted Web server with proper interfaces, it allows to facilitate the management to keep monitoring and controling overall hydroponic nurturing environment. Since the proposed Web-based management system provides the superior reliability, the short nurturing period and the robustness to the pest by controlling LED emitting color rather than conventional system, so it can be applied and appropriate for in-house vegetable factory overcoming limitation of time and location.

In this study , quasi-MFISFET (Metal-Ferroelectric-Insulator-Semiconductor FET) devices are fabricated using PLZT(10/30/70), PLT(10), PZT(30/70) thin film and their drain current properties are investigated. It is found that the drain current of quasi-MFISFET is directly influenced by the polarization strength of ferroelectric thin fan. Also, when the gate voltages are ${\pm}5\;and\;{\pm}10V$, the memory windows are 0.5 and 1.3V, respectively. It means that the memory window is changed with the variation of coercive voltage generated by the voltage applied on ferroelectric thin film. The electric field and the leakage current with time delay of PLZT(10/30/70) thin lam are measured to investigate the retention property of MFISFET device. Some material parameters such as current density constant, $J_{ETO}$, electric field dependent factor K and time dependent factor m are obtained. The variation of charge density with time is quantitatively analyzed by using the material parameters.

This study was conducted to investigate effects of cooking method on physicochemical characteristics and qualities of hamburger patties processed with ground pork/beef meat $(20\%\;fat)$. Hamburger patties were cooked by electric griddling, fan frying, microwave, conventional cooking, and charbroiling. Cooking rates were affected by cooking methods, had the highest in patties cooked in microwave oven. Hamburger patties by microwaving were also higher moisture content, but were lower protein and fat content compared to other methods. Electric griddling and microwaving were higher cooking yield, lower diameter changes in patties than other methods, but pan frying showed the opposite effects. Higher values of hardness and brittleness in pan frying than those of other methods were showed, but pan frying had the highest overall acceptability in sensory evaluations.
