  • University buildings are energy-guzzling facility that consume more than 10,000TOE within a campus annually. Even the consumption is on an upswing trend. Behind such high consumption are there cheap power rates for education facility, lack of high-efficiency equipment and ever-increasing use of various information equipment. Being keenly aware that greenhouse gas emission increases due to such rise of energy consumption, the present study carried out a case study. In the case study, the study chose the buildings of E university from top 10 universities that consume energy most in Seoul and examined the current status of their energy consumption and greenhouse gas emission. And then it set the reduction target of greenhouse gas by year. Putting aside a middle and long-termed strategy for later endeavor, it first established the 1st year's implementation plan (2014) for energy saving and greenhouse gas reduction with limited budget and according to greenhouse gas reduction target. The plan is specified as follows. Targets for energy saving are mainly divided into two sectors: machine equipment and electric equipment. 7 ideas were proposed. Three ideas to improve machine equipment are to replace with high-efficiency boilers and chillers and to adjust the position of the cooling tower. By doing so, it was estimated that energy could be saved by 176.34TOE in total and greenhouse gas could be reduced by 370.771t$CO_2$-eq. Four ideas to improve electric equipment include the replacement with LED lights, LED emergency lights and high-efficiency motors and the installation of motion sensors. It was calculated that such replacement could conserve 1,076.08TOE (electric energy) and reduce 2,181.420t$CO_2$-eq (greenhouse gas).

  • It is true color that is allocated 1 byte to three basic colors, red, green, and blue in order to represent a pixel of an image. It is a merit that almost all colors are representable by using the true color. However, it requires a lot of storages. An efficient image compression method is necessary. Most of the existing compression methods have not considered the characteristics of the true color images. Therefore, the efficient compression has been almost impossible. The differences of each pixel and its adjacent pixels in the true color images are few. Only a few bits in 3 bytes data which represent a pixel have different values. But the different bits are scattered in 3 bytes, so efficient compression results are not achieved. Therefore, in the study it is shown that the similarities of data are increased by relocating the data structures of true color images. And an efficient compression strategy which uses the similarities of data is proposed.

  • This study investigated the effects of thae persuader and the persuasion message in order to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and activate the exploration journey using bicycles, a form of green transportation, in this green society age. Furthermore, the effects that predictive variables related to the implementation of an infrastructure for bicycles have on the intentions toward an exploration journey using bicycles were examined. The questionnaire survey was administered to 257 respondents for 9 days from March 14 to March 22, 2009. Since Gyeongju has a number of cultural relics that people can look at in one day, Gyeongju is ideal for examining a variety of tourist opinions about exploring cultural relics using bicycles. In conclusion, it was found that the 'persuader' and 'persuasion message' enhanced the desire for bicycle exploration journeys from 'will use a bicycle if possible' to 'want to use a bicycle'. In accordance with two-way ANOVA results on the desire for bicycle exploration journeys by persuader and persuasion message, the persuasion approach emphasizing health effects and geared toward bicycle enthusiasts was significantly effective. Furthermore, the most effective approach was the persuasion strategy emphasizing the 'citizens' and 'health', and 'citizens' and 'eco-friendly' among the effects created by connection of persuader and persuasion message.

  • The subject of this research is to analyze the design characteristics of outdoor spaces in Good Design awarded apartment complexes in the past decade. The results are as follows. First, the overall outdoor space design theme, one of the conceptual elements, is focused on both 'nature' and 'story of various subject' that are similar to each other. Second, the case study object with the visual openness, which is secured between apartment blocks, is shown frequently in case box-shaped apartment blocks are arranged in a row. However, in case of Y-shaped block arrangement, the visual openness secured within an apartment complex is considered more important. Third, according to the result of circulation/ inner path element, the most frequently appeared inner path form is a grid pattern with straight path emphasis. While apartment complexes with the parking lot on the ground are only 3 out of 18 cases, it with circulation path for vehicle on the ground level are over 61%. Fourthly, the design characteristic of social space of physical outdoor design appears to be 'central link facility type'. In this case, the central community facilities are more likely to be combined with various functions, such as green, water, and social connection. Fifthly, in case of natural space, most of the apartment cases are shown over 45% green area ratio with wide green and water space provision. Especially, the differentiation is to provide the space where can stimulate a resident's participation.

  • Studies on the resistance monitoring of green peach ahpid, Myzus persicae, its development pattern by artificial selection with imidacloprid and cross-resistance were carried out to develope resistance management strategy. Resistance ratios of M. persicae collected at Hwachon and Dunnae among 5 locations in alpine cultivation area appeared to be high as 37.2 and 16.5, respectively. Resistance of aphid to imidacloprid developed slowly up to 20 time selection, and after that it grew quickly. Imidacloprid-resistant aphid strain showed low cross-resistance ratios(<10) to most of organophosphates, carbamates, and mixed insecticides except pirimicarb(487.8), but high ratios to acetamiprid(143.0) which is one of the neonicotinoids like imidacloprid, and pyrethroids such as deltamethrin(14.9), flucythrinate(12.9) and halothrin(15.9).

  • In this study, we suggest a facile method to control conditions of single component independently when preparing consisting two-component metal oxides nanofiber by simply dispersing nanoparticles in precursor solution. The well dispersed $SiO_2$ nanoparticles in $TiO_2$ nanofibers were successfully synthesized through a simple electrospinning process. The as-synthesized nanodfibers were investigated via FE-SEM, XRD and EDS for structural studies, furthermore, the analysis of UV-VIS and photocatalytic activity were carried out for demonstrate the effect of $SiO_2$ nanoparticles dispersed in $TiO_2$ nanofibers. As a result, $TiO_2$ nanofibres dispersed with $SiO_2$ nanoparticles have enhanced photocatalytic activity than that of $TiO_2$ nanofibres only. In this strategy, the introduction of $SiO_2$ nanoparticles in $TiO_2$ nanofibers were attribute to enlarge absorption in the visible region (380~440 nm). Additionally, $Br{\o}nsted$ acid sites generated in each metal oxide of Ti and Si increase OH radicals efficiently as well as it limit recombination loss by holding photogenerated electrons for high efficient photocatalytic activity.

  • To have global competitiveness in newly growing industry, good quality R&D's in convergence technology arerequired. Korean government also started to emphasize the importance of convergence technology as a new engine of growth for the future development. Since 2008, worldwide energy crisis and concerns on low carbon green growth made people focus on the convergence between information technology (IT) and energy technology (ET). However, the R&D performance comparison among the convergence technologies is not well explored so far. Therefore, this study uses Korea's patent citation database to measure the R&D performance of convergence technologies. We adopt technology development cycle, technology spillover analysis, and technology diffusion analysis to see the knowledge flow from R&D industry to others. We find that IT_ET convergence technology generally shows higher R&D performance than other convergence technologies. Contrary to public belief, convergence R&D by big companies has relatively low performance especially measures in technology spillover and technology diffusion. This implies that they might concentrate on delicate Fuel Cell Energy/Environment Technology (FEIT) or Nano Environment/Energy Information Technology (NEIT) rather than general energy information technologies. We also find that Korea's chemical industry may play a crucial role for the growth of other convergence technologies.
