  • In spite of lab safety act for over 10 years, over 100 safety accidents in the laboratory have been constantly occurring. The ideal safety management system is to prevent accidents by differential classifying and managing laboratory regulatory materials according to the risk level. In order to approach this system, in-depth interviews with safety managers were first conducted to identify the current status of safety management in domestic university laboratories. And then through comparative analysis of safety management systems in domestic and foreign laboratories, a new regulatory substance classification standard based on the analysis of the hazards and the classification of risk grades, and a safety management system are proposed. From this study, it will contribute to the creation of a safe laboratory environment by differential classification and management laboratory regulatory materials based on the risk level.

  • Daylighting affects the luminous environment and provides comfortable environment to the occupants. However, excessive daylighting might have negative influences on the visual comfort. Skylight, light intensity and distribution, and insolation could cause glare effects on the occupants. This study analyzed the effect of fenestration on the interior glare effects, and verified luminous environment adjustability through mock up test of conventional fenestration and 'Convergence Window System' by analyzation of luminance, luminance contrast, and glare effect. Consequently, room installed Convergence Window System was improved luminance contrast and PGSV Level.

  • The alarming climate change impacts are demanding the use of renewable energy sources like never before. Hydropower is one of the most cost-effective and environmental friendly energy technology recognized in the world. Big hydropower projects come up with the requirements of huge investment costs along with environmental impacts, whereas small hydropower(SHP) are considered a best solution for the economical source of energy. SHP, basically Run-of-River (RoR) type plants can be sustainable renewable energy sources and given the nature of perennial rivers flowing from steep gradient and rugged topography, feasibility of such plants is equally high in Nepal. The objective of this study is to determine the primary potential sites for the development of RoR type SHP sites using Geo-spatial Information System(GSIS). The use of GSIS enables precise survey of large area within a short period of time. This study has focused on the determination of locations by establishing defined criterions and methodologies and hence have located multiple locations rather than selecting one best location. The approach is applicable for the rapid initial screening of potential locations and results can facilitate detail feasibility study for the technical and economic analysis of SHP in the basin.

  • The objective of this study were to assess rooftop urban agriculture and analyze the differences in soil, growth, physiology, and productivity to elucidate the effect of companion planting with various plants, including lettuce (Lactuca sativa), rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus), marigold (Tagetes patula), Korean perilla (Perilla frutescens), and garlic chives (Allium senescens). Measurements were taken every other week from May to August 2023, totaling eight measurement. Regarding the characteristics of the soil planted with lettuce and aromatic plants, the combined planting of lettuce and garlic chives created a favorable soil environment for plant growth. Consequently, the best growth was observed when lettuce and garlic chives were companion planted. Companion planting of lettuce and garlic chives appears to be the most efficient concerning growth and physiology. The productivity of companion planting lettuce and aromatic plants also showed high-quality lettuce when lettuces and garlic chives were companion planted. Therefore, companion planting of lettuces and garlic chives in rooftop urban agriculture is suitable for growth, physiology, and productivity.

  • A total of 94 taxa were identified from the Southern Ocean, 140-148 $^{\circ}E$ and 40-53 $^{\circ}S$, as an early austral summer phytoplankton. They were 53 diatoms, 37 dinoflagellates, 2 silicoflagellates, 1 prymnesiophyte, and 1 coccolithophorid. Integrated cell numbers of nanoplankton dominated microphytoplankton from 8 stations, especially from Subantarctic zone, but integrated biomass was lower than microphytoplankton. Integrated cell numbers of diatoms dominated dinoflagellates, coccolithophorids, and prymnesiophyte, but integrated biomass of microphytoplankton were dependent to the biomass of dinoflagellates except north of the Subtropical convergence zone and south of the Antractic convergence zone. Phytoplankton community changed across the fronts and 3 different communities were observed. Fronts seem to influence on the phytoplankton community from the west Pacific Sector of the Southern Ocean.

  • In recent years, the Internet was a lot of information on the use of Tesla coils bifilar [1] in conjunction with induction cooker, for "free" electricity during power resistive load, including different incandescent lamps. With the development of scientific and technological progress, the demand for electricity in each year is increasing, and at the same time, the need to increase the capacity of electricity production, which entails large investments and, consequently, increase of prices for consumers. As before today, the search for free electric energy is an up-to-date and still open topic. The purpose of research - simplification of information on the possibility of using bifilar coils as an electric current source in conjunction with induction cooker. Consequently, it can be concluded from the above that the use of Tesla coils in combination with induction cooker has very low k.k.d. and it is not possible to obtain excessive electric energy using the Tesla coil under the connection schemes considered.

  • For this purpose, the authors proposed and proved usefulness of the modified mean skin temperature which is integrated mean radiation temperature and the effect of floor contacted heat conduction. The mean radiation temperature is applied form factor between half cross-legged human body and surrounding wall of indoor. In addition the floor contacted heat conduction is applied heat transfer coefficient of half cross-legged human body. Eight Korean young men were targeted for the experiment. From the experiment the authors excerpted physiological reaction and psychological reaction in Ondol environment which is combined physiccal environmental factor of artificial climate chamber, air and floor temperature. As a result of the experiment it is confirmed that heat conduction has more impact than heat exchange from existing research for the heat exchange between half cross-legged human body and surrounding wall in Ondol thermal environment. Thereby, it is proved the effectiveness of the modified mean skin temperature which is added floor contacted temperature to the Ondol thermal environmental evaluation index.

  • To elucidate the mechanism associated with the development of heavy precipitation system, a field experiment was carried out in Jejudo (or Jeju Island) and Marado, Korea from 22 June to 12 July 2006. The synoptic atmospheric conditions were analyzed using the National Centers for Environmental Prediction-National Center for Atmospheric Research's (NCEP/NCAR) reanalyzed data, weather maps, and sounding data. The kinematic characteristics of each precipitation system were investigated by dual Doppler radar analysis. During the field experiment, data of four precipitation events with more than 20 mm rainfall were collected. In F case (frontal precipitation), a typical Changma front was dominant and the observation field was fully saturated. However there was no convective instability near the surface. LF case (low pressure accompanied with Changma front) showed strong convective instability near the surface, while a strong convergence corresponded to the low pressure from China accompanied with Changma front. In FT case (Changma front indirectly influenced by typhoon), the presence of a convective instability indicated the transport of near surface, strong additional moisture from the typhoon 'EWINIAR'. The convergence wind field was ground to be located at a low level. The convective instability was not significant in T case (precipitation of the typhoon 'EWINIAR'), since the typhoon passed through Jejudo and the Changma front was disappeared toward the northeastern region of the Korean peninsula. The kinematic (convergence and divergence) characteristics of wind fields, convective instability, and additional moisture inflow played important roles in the formation and development of heavy precipitation.
