일반적 중 저농도형 하수처리시설을 통해서는 처리가 힘든 고농도 유기성 폐수의 경우 재생에너지 생산이 가능한 혐기성 분해로 처리하는 것이 유리하다. 기존 호기성 처리에서 이미 그 실용성과 우수성이 입증된 E-PFR을 혐기성 처리에 적용하여 그 효용성과 재생에너지 생산 효율 증대 효과 등을 검증하고, 효율적인 재생에너지 생산을 위한 조건 등을 제시하기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. N 음식물쓰레기 처리시설에서 발생하는 탈리액을 대상으로 수행한 Pilot Plant 규모의 실험 연구에서 반응기의 구조적 특성으로 인해 혐기성 분해의 효율 향상 및 메탄가스 발생량이 증가함을 확인하였다. 이러한 처리 효율의 향상은 유체 이동관과 각단을 분리하는 격벽을 설치한 E-PFR의 구조적 특성에 기인한 원활한 혼합조건 형성과 스컴제어로 혐기성 처리에 있어서도 매우 이상적인 반응 조건을 형성시키기가 용이하였기 때문이다. E-PFR은 상향류식 폐수 유입과 각 단별로 분리된 다단형 처리로 인해 폐수 유입 구역에는 상대적으로 높은 MLSS가 유지될 수 있으므로 충격부하에 대한 내성이 강하고, 전체적으로 혐기성 최적 pH인 7.0~8.0 정도를 유지하여 상대적으로 높은 가스 발생량 및 메탄가스 함량을 유지하는 것이 가능하였다. 뿐만 아니라, 각 단별로 각기 다른 MLSS를 유지시키면서 SRT를 상대적으로 길게 유지함으로써 유기물 분해 및 가스 발생 효율을 증가시키는 효과가 있었다. 향후, 반응기의 구조적 개선과 발생가스를 이용한 교반 효과 개선 등을 통해 메탄가스 함량 70 % 수준의 안정적 혐기성 분해가 가능한 실증 플랜트 설계가 가능할 것으로 판단되며, 이를 통해 한층 향상된 재생에너지 획득 시스템 확보가 가능할 것이다.

본 연구는 선회유동과 연소인자가 9.4L인 터보과급 디젤엔진의 성능과 배기가스특성에 미치는 영향을 실험적으로 고찰하였다. 일반적으로 디젤엔진의 연소과정에서 선회유동은 분사되고 있는 연료와 흡칩공기의 혼합을 촉진시켜 줌으로써 엔진성능을 향상시키는데 매우 중요한 인자가 된다. 특히 터보과급 디젤엔진에서는 실린더내의 고온.고압가스로 인하여 연비와 NO$_{x}$ 농도는 서로 상반관계를 가지므로 적절한 용량의 과급기선정으로 흡.배기시스템, 분사시스템 및 연소실의 설계 등을 고려할 필요가 있다. 본 연구의 결과로서, 정상유동실험을 통하여 선회비가 증가함으로써 평균유량계수가 감소하고, 반면에 걸프 펙터가 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 엔진실험을 통하여 흡기포트의 선회비 2.43, 분사시기 BTDC 13$^{\circ}$ CA, 압축비 16, 리앤트란트 5$^{\circ}$형 연소실, 노즐분공경 $\Phi$0.28*6 및 과급기 GT40(압축기 A/R 0.58, 터빈 A/R 1.19)의 적용인자가 최적의 성능 및 배기가스를 만족시킬 수 있었다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to enhance the application of analytical method of polar solvents(alcohols) by GCOTC (gas chromatography open tubular column) through the system suitability test(SST) to estimate the whole chromatographic system performance(integral part). Methods: To perform the SST, carried out repeatability(n=6) as analytical method of polar solvents by GCOTC, got the retention time($t_R$), standard deviation(${\sigma}_{n-1}$) of $t_R$, baseline width($w_b=4{\sigma}_{n-1}$) and calculated dead time($t_m$) by $v_m=d^2{\pi}L(f/4)$ and $v_m=t_m$ x flow rate. Results: In this experiment, obtained the basic data, there were $t_m=2$ min, methanol($t_R=3.569$, ${\sigma}_{n-1}=0.01$, $w_b=0.04$), ethanol ($t_R=3.892$, ${\sigma}_{n-1}=0.004$, $w_b=0.016$), isopropanol($t_R=4.209$, ${\sigma}_{n-1}=0.004$, $w_b=0.016$). By using these data, calculated the corrected retention time($t_R{^{\prime}}$), capacity factor(k), separation factor(${\alpha}$), number of theoretical plate(n) and resolution($R_s$) for SST and got the good results. Conclusions: Through the SST, could reconfirm the whole chromatographic performance system(integral part) for analytical method of polar solvents by GCOTC. Therefore, this analytical method expect to be widely applied at the related areas.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is well-known as toxic gas and intrinsic signaling molecule such as neurotransmitter and blood vessel relaxant. Recently, it has been reported that low concentration of CO exerts therapeutic actions under various pathological conditions including liver failure, heart failure, gastric cancer, and cardiac arrest. However, little has been known about the effect of CO in neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's disease (PD). To test whether CO could exert a beneficial action during oxidative cell death in PD, we examined the effects of CO on 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-induced cell death in C6 glioma cells. Treatment of CO-releasing molecule-2 (CORM-2) significantly attenuated 6-OHDA-induced apoptotic cell death in a dose-dependent manner. CORM-2 treatment decreased Bax/Bcl2 ratio and caspase-3 activity, which had been increased by 6-OHDA. CORM-2 increased phosphorylation of NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) which is a transcription factor regulating antioxidant proteins. Subsequently, CORM-2 also increased the expression of heme oxygenase-1 and superoxide dismutases (CuZnSOD and MnSOD), which were antioxidant enzymes regulated by Nrf2. These results suggest that CO released by CORM-2 treatment may have protective effects against oxidative cell death in PD through the potentiation of cellular adaptive survival responses via activation of Nrf2 and upregulation of heme oxygenase-1, leading to increasing antioxidant defense capacity.

Many studies on methane ($CH_4$) and nitrous oxide ($N_2O$) emissions from livestock industries have revealed that livestock production directly contributes to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through enteric fermentation and manure management, which causes negative impacts on animal environment sustainability. In the present study, three essential values for GHG emission were measured; i.e., i) maximum $CH_4$ producing capacity at mesophilic temperature ($37^{\circ}C$) from anaerobically stored manure in livestock category ($B_{0,KM}$, Korean livestock manure for $B_0$), ii) $EF_{3(s)}$ value representing an emission factor for direct $N_2O$ emissions from manure management system S in the country, kg $N_2O-N$ kg $N^{-1}$, at mesophilic ($37^{\circ}C$) and thermophilic ($55^{\circ}C$) temperatures, and iii) $N_{ex(T)}$ emissions showing annual N excretion for livestock category T, kg N $animal^{-1}$ $yr^{-1}$, from different livestock manure. Static incubation with and without aeration was performed to obtain the $N_2O$ and $CH_4$ emissions from each sample, respectively. Chemical compositions of pre- and post- incubated manure were analyzed. Contents of total solids (% TS) and volatile solid (% VS), and the ratio of carbon to nitrogen (C/N) decrease significantly in all the samples by C-containing biogas generation, whereas moisture content (%) and pH increased after incubation. A big difference of total nitrogen content was not observed in pre- and post-incubation during $CH_4$ and $N_2O$ emissions. $CH_4$ emissions (g $CH_4$ kg VS-1) from all the three manures (sows, layers and Korean cattle) were different and high C/N ratio resulted in high $CH_4$ emission. Similarly, $N_2O$ emission was found to be affected by % VS, pH, and temperature. The $B_{0,KM}$ values for sows, layers, and Korean cattle obtained at $37^{\circ}C$ are 0.0579, 0.0006, and 0.0828 $m^3$ $CH_4$ kg $VS^{-1}$, respectively, which are much less than the default values in IPCC guideline (GL) except the value from Korean cattle. For sows and Korean cattle, $N_{ex(T)}$ values of 7.67 and 28.19 kg N $yr^{-1}$, respectively, are 2.5 fold less than those values in IPCC GL as well. However, $N_{ex(T)}$ value of layers 0.63 kg N $yr^{-1}$ is very similar to the default value of 0.6 kg N $yr^{-1}$ in IPCC GLs for National greenhouse gas inventories for countries such as South Korea/Asia. The $EF_{3(s)}$ value obtained at $37^{\circ}C$ and $55^{\circ}C$ were found to be far less than the default value.

두께가 서로 다른 $C_3$ 식물의 잎은 단위엽면적당 광합성 능력에 있어서도 차이가 나는 바 잎의 내부구조와 기체교환 사이의 관계를 바탕으로 그 원인을 구명하였다. 광합성의 2대 제한요인으로 기체확산과 생화학적 과정의 상대적인 중요도를 결정하기 위해 중엽세포의 표면은 기체확산 저항의, 그리고 세포의 체적은 탄소고정 능력의 지표로 가정하였다. 즉 세포의 표면적이 증가하면 이산화탄소의 액상확산 저항이 감소하며 체적이 증대되면 carboxylation, oxygenation, 그리고 dark respiration 반응속도가 증가한다고 간주하였다. 이러한 개념을 함축하는 광합성 모형을 작성하고 이 가설의 검증을 위해 대두 품종 Amsoy잎을 이용한 실험을 수행하였다. 생장조절실내에서 200, 400, 600$\mu$mol photons m$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$ PAR을 공급하여 서로 다른 두께의 잎을 준비하였으며 제3 및 4본엽에 대해 1,000 $\mu$mol photons m$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$ PAR 및 28 기온 환경하에서 이산화탄소 흡수속도를 측정한 결과 세포의 체적과 표면적의 영향을 동시에 고려한 광합성 모형이 세포 표면적만을 고려한 경우 보다 실측치에 가까운 예측치를 산출하였다. 이로 미루어 세포의 표면적과 체적은 잎의 두께 및 그에 따른 광합성 능력의 예측에 적절한 변수로 간주된다.

The objective of the study which utilised population based data was to determine the respiratory condition of elementary school children in Gangneung. From October 9th to December 14th, 2006, Pulmonary Function Tests (PFT) including Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) and Forced Expiratoy Volume in I Second $(FEV_1)$ were conducted on the target group of children using a spirometer. The prevalence of asthmatic symptoms was 29.8% among boys and 39.6% among girls. By using logistic regression, we found that family history of allergic rhinitis (OR=3.90, CI=1.05-14.51), experience of allergic conjunctivitis (OR=4.67, CI=1.54-14.16) and atopic dermatitis (OR=2.86, CI=1.17-7.05) significantly increased the asthmatic symptoms. Also, a family history of asthma and food allergy were associated with asthmatic symptoms. In relation to housing and environmental risk factors, residences under the ground (OR=3.59, CI=1.35-9.51) and big-size dolls (OR=2.71, CI=0.86-8.53) significantly increased the prevalence of asthmatic symptoms. For PFT, above four families, exposure of passive smoking and pets significantly reduced FVC in both groups (p<0.05). In girls, a big-size doll was significantly associated with decreased lung function (FVC and $FEV_1$). In boys, using bed significantly reduced $FEV_1$. Also, the risk of asthmatic symptoms was found to increase when the house has been built for 5 years or more, the house is close to a road $({\leq}100m)$, a gas/Kerosene heater or carpet is utilized within the house. However, their differences were not significant. It is concluded that genetic factor such as a family history of respiratory disease, allergic symptoms and housing risk factor are related to asthmatic symptoms. These results were worth noting because the findings will help address risk factors related respiratory symptoms especially in relation to housing and environment.

4 가지 탄종(Gunvor, Glencore, Noble, ECM)의 촤 산화반응 특성을 $900^{\circ}C$에서 $1300^{\circ}C$까지의 노내온도와 대기압 조건에서 DTF(drop tube furnace)를 이용하여 실험하였다. 촤 반응률은 FT-IR 장비로 측정한 CO, $CO_2$ 농도와 이색온도계로 측정한 입자온도를 통해 계산되었고 고회분탄의 활성화에너지(E)와 pre-exponential 상수(A)는 아레니우스 방정식을 기초로 계산되었다. 실험 결과는 석탄의 회분 함량이 늘어남에 따라, 입자온도와 면적반응성이 감소하였다. 이러한 결과는 회분의 큰 열용량, 회분의 기화잠열과 상대적으로 적은 고정탄소의 함량으로 인한 연소성 저하로 사료된다. 결과적으로 고회분탄은 높은 활성화 에너지(E)를 가진다.

The demand for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) carriers and LNG-fueled ships has significantly increased in recent years due to the sulfur-oxide emission regulations by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). The main goal of this paper is to introduce the process for the Engineering Critical Assessment (ECA) of IMO independent type-B cargo tanks made from 9% nickel alloy. A methodology proposed by the British Standard was used to conduct ECA for any structure with initial flaws. Based on this standard, a Matlab code was developed to perform ECA. Coarse mesh Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was performed on an independent type-B LNG cargo tank with a capacity of 15,000 m³. The location with the highest development of maximum principal stress was identified at the bottom of the cargo tank. Fine mesh FEA was performed to obtain the stress range required for ECA. The dynamic cargo tank loads used for FEA were determined using some ship rules presented by Det Norske Veritas. As a result of performing a 20-year long-term crack propagation analysis with a semi-elliptical surface crack, the fracture-to-yield ratio exceeded the Fracture Assessment Line (FAL) and some structural reinforcement was necessary. Performing a 15-day short-term crack propagation analysis, the fracture-to-yield ratio remained within the FAL, and no significant LNG leaks were expected. This paper is believed to provide a guide for performing ECA of LNG cargo tanks in the future by providing the basic theory and application sample necessary to perform ECA.

Objective: Our recent series of laboratory- and large-scale experiments confirmed that under aerobic and anaerobic conditions, sodium metabisulfite (SMB) was effective in preserving nutrients and antioxidant capacity of highly perishable fruit and vegetable discards (FVD). Hence, the purpose of this study was to examine how partial inclusion of SMB-treated FVD in total mixed ration (TMR) influences in vitro ruminal fermentation, whole-tract digestibility, nitrogen metabolism, blood metabolites, and voluntary feed intake of sheep. Methods: The FVD were mixed thoroughly with 6 g SMB/kg wet biomass and kept outdoors under aerobic conditions for 7 days. Four TMRs including four levels of SMB-treated FVD (as-fed basis) at 0%, 10%, 20%, and 30% (equaling to 0%, 1.9%, 3.8%, and 5.7% on dry matter basis, respectively), were prepared as replacement for corn grain. The ruminal fermentation metabolites were studied using an in vitro gas production test. Four mature male Corriedale sheep were assigned at random to the 4 diets for two separate sub-experiments; i) digestibility trial with four 21-d periods, and ii) voluntary feed intake trial with four 28-d periods. Results: Inclusion of SMB-treated FVD in the TMR tended to quadratically increase partitioning factor. No effect was seen on total-tract digestibility of organic matter, ether extract, crude protein, and acid detergent fiber, except for neutral detergent fiber digestibility that tended to linearly increase with increasing SMB-treated FVD in the TMR. The progressive increase of FVD preserved with SMB in the diet had no effect on nitrogen metabolism. Treatment had no effect on serum antioxidant capacity and blood metabolites assayed. Voluntary feed intake was not impaired by inclusion of SMB-treated FVD in the TMR. Conclusion: It appears that FVD preserved with SMB can be safely incorporated into TMR as replacement of corn grain without impairment of nutrient metabolism and feed intake.
