Methane is the main greenhouse gas released from rice paddy field. Methane from paddy fields accounts for 11 % of the global total methane emission. The global warming potential (GWP) of methane is 25 times more than that of carbon dioxide on a mass basis. It is well known that most effective practice to mitigate methane in paddy is related to the water management during rice growing season and the use of organic matters. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of tillage and cultivation method on methane emission in paddy. Tillage (tillage and no-tillage) and cultivation methods (transplanting and direct seeding) were combined tillage-transplanting (T-T), tillage-wet hill seeding (T-W), tillage-dry seeding (T-D) and no-till dry seeding (NT-D) to evaluate methane mitigation efficiency. Daily methane emission was decreased on seeding treatments (T-W, T-D, NT-D) than transplanting treatment (T-T). Amount of methane emission during rice growing season is highest in T-T ($411.7CH_4\;kg\;ha^{-1}y^{-1}$) and lowest in NT-D treatment (89.7). In T-W and T-D treatments, methane emissions were significantly decreased by 36 and 51 % respectively compared with T-T. Methane emissions were highly correlated with the dry weight of whole rice plant ($R^2=0.62{\sim}0.93$). T-T treatment showed highest $R^2$ (0.93) among the four treatments. Rice grain yields did not significantly differ with the tillage and cultivation methods used. These results suggest that direct seeding practice in rice production could mitigate the methane emissions without loss in grain yield.

The top seeded solution growth (TSSG) method is an alternative technique to grow high-quality SiC crystals that has been actively studied for the last two decades. However, the TSSG method has different issues that need to be resolved when compared to the commercial SiC crystal growing method, i.e., physical vapor transport (PVT). A particular issue of the TSSG method of results from the presence of liquid droplets on the grown crystal that can remain even after crystal growth; this induces residual stress on the crystal surface. Hence, the residual droplet causes several unwanted effects on the crystal such as the initiation of micro-cracks, micro-pipes, and polytype inclusions. Therefore, this study investigated the formation of the residual droplet through multiphysics simulations and lead to the development of a liquid droplet removal method. As a result, we found that although residual liquid droplets significantly apply residual stress on the grown crystal, these could be vaporized by adopting thermal annealing processes after the relevant crystal growing steps.

Green technology encompasses a growing group of methods and materials, from techniques for generating energy and alternative resources to non-toxic cleaning products. Green technology is expected to solve current problems in atmospheric environment such as climate changes due to green house gases and hazardous air pollutants. This paper provides a review on the status of green technology and policy guidelines in Korea as well as the green technology for air pollutants. It presents the R&D projects and future direction in atmospheric environment, and the green technology in mobile source air pollution. Emerging green technology contributes to sustainable growth and development of atmospheric environmental industry for better air quality.

The attention of brand apartment is flourishing along with growing concerns about resident's health and their housing. This study examined the environment-friendly features on six brand apartments in Kangnam area in Seoul since 2000. The findings were as follows: The environment-friendly features of most brand apartments are in satisfactory level. The environment-friendly parking lot and greenzone were satisfactory on the viewpoint of ecology. From the perspective of relationship between housing and environment there was lack of the consideration of locality issues. However, from the perspective of health and comfortability there was lack of indoor planting.

Since the first sewage treatment plant had been in operation in 1976, the Korean water industry was in the logarithmic growing stage corresponded with the country's rapid economic expansion up to late 1990's. Unfortunately, however, the current industry status seems to require not only new paradigm for water environment but the development of new growth engine, since there are various warning signals for stalling growth from the field engineers to policy makers. Because of sharing of the awareness, the Korean government recently launched an ambitious development policy for water industry. This paper describes the new paradigm-shift in water environment in view point of the water as renewable resources. Based on the new paradigm, it has been suggested the prerequisite conditions to meet for the development of a new Korean water industry.

The management of return flows induced by the various forms of reuse of products and materials in industrial production processes has received growing attention throughout this decade. As one of the developing countries in the world trade market, we have to apply the reverse logistics system considering an environment seriously, and to implement reverse logistics activities abreast with the forward logistics system of a companies. Therefore, the objective of this study was to discuss what the reverse logistics system of Environmentally Conscious Logistics Systems(ECLS) is by introducing a case study.

With the increasing concern over the air quality degradation, there are growing demands to accurately and precisely measure air quality. In this article, the general principles and approaches were described to help aid proper evaluation of air quality. In order to introduce the basic approaches for conducting field/laboratory experiments and for interpreting experimental data sets, we explained all the common methodologies involved and provided some insights into the desirable protocols for air quality measurements.

과채류의 생산에 있어서 육묘는 매우 중요하다. 육묘 시 묘의 생육에 미치는 요인은 다양하나 그 중 배양토는 가장 기본적인 요소가 된다. 배양토는 보수성이 좋고 균질, 무균이어야 할 뿐만 아니라 운송성, 이식성 등이 고려되어야 하며, 이·화학적 성질의 균일성이 필수적으로 요구된다. 이에 본 실험에서는 현재 외국에서 배양토로 많이 사용되고 있는 peatmoss(원예용상토), TKS, vermiculite, perlite 및 이들 인조 배양토에 밭흙ㆍ모래를 배합했을 시 물리ㆍ화학적 특성을 조사하고, 이들 배양토가 고추묘의 생육에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다.
