In this study, the effect of high-energy proton irradiation on the optical properties of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) films was investigated. PAN thin films spin-coated on a substrate were irradiated 150 keV proton ions at various fluences. The changes in the chemical structure and optical properties were investigated by FT-IR and UV-vis spectroscopy. The results of the FT-IR analysis revealed that the cyclization reaction took place by proton irradiation and the degree of cyclization increased with an increasing fluence. Based on the UV-vis analysis, the optical band gap of PAN decreased from 2.84 to 2.52 eV with an increasing fluence due to the formation of carbon clusters by proton irradiation. In addition, the number of carbon atoms per carbon cluster and the number of carbon atoms per conjugation length were found to be increased with an increasing fluence.

The number of cable-stayed bridges has been increasing worldwide, causing issues in maintaining the structural safety and integrity of bridges. The stay cable, one of the most critical members in cable-stayed bridges, is vulnerable to wind-induced vibrations owing to its inherent low damping capacity. Thus, vibration mitigation of stay cables has been an important issue both in academia and practice. While a semi-active control scheme shows effective vibration reduction compared to a passive control scheme, real-world applications are quite limited because it requires complicated equipment, including for data acquisition, and power supply. This study aims to develop an Arduino-based integrated cable vibration control system implementing a semi-active control algorithm. The integrated control system is built on the low-cost, low-power Arduino platform, embedding a semi-active control algorithm. A MEMS accelerometer is installed in the platform to conduct a state feedback for the semi-active control. The Linear Quadratic Gaussian control is applied to estimate a cable state and obtain a control gain, and the clipped optimal algorithm is implemented to control the damping device. This study selects the magnetorheological damper as a semi-active damping device, controlled by the proposed control system. The developed integrated system is applied to a laboratory size cable with a series of experimental studies for identifying the effect of the system on cable vibration reduction. The semi-active control embedded in the integrated system is compared with free and passive mode cases and is shown to reduce the vibration of stay-cables effectively.

Optical remote sensing sensors provide visually more familiar images than radar images. However, it is difficult to discriminate sea ice types in optical images using spectral information based machine learning algorithms. This study addresses two topics. First, we propose a semantic segmentation which is a part of the state-of-the-art deep learning algorithms to identify ice types by learning hierarchical and spatial features of sea ice. Second, we propose a new approach by combining of semi-supervised and active learning to obtain accurate and meaningful labels from unlabeled or unseen images to improve the performance of supervised classification for multiple images. Therefore, we successfully added new labels from unlabeled data to automatically update the semantic segmentation model. This should be noted that an operational system to generate ice type products from optical remote sensing data may be possible in the near future.

최근 환경부에서 발표한 국가물관리기본계획에서 수자원 총량 중 생활·공업·농업·유지용수의 이용량은 365억m³/년으로 약 29.4%로 발표되었다. 유지용수를 제외한 농업용수 이용량의 비중은 약 60.5%이며, 이 중 약 80%가 논에서 활용되고 있다. 이러한 농업용수 이용량 중 사용되지 않고 하천으로의 방류량이 존재하는데 이를 관개회귀수량이라하며, 농업용수의 약 35%가 하천으로 회귀된다 발표하나 지역에 따른 편차가 존재하기에 정확한 회귀수량을 산정하기엔 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 네트워크 모형을 통한 용배수로 구축 이후 회귀수 정량화를 하고자 하며, 정량화를 위한 네트워크 모형은 EPA-SWMM(Storm Water Management Model) 모형을 활용하였다. 해당 모형은 미국 환경 보호국(U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, EPA)에서 개발한 네트워크 물리모형으로 다양한 환경적 요소에 따른 수문 영향을 확인 가능한 모형이다. 해당 모형의 다양한 네트워크 기능을 통해 논배수로 네트워크를 구축하여 회귀수 정량화를 진행하고자 한다. 논배수로 네트워크를 구축하기 이전 현장조사를 진행하였다. 현장조사를 통한 용수계통도를 작성하였으며, 모형의 입력자료로 필요한 네트워크 용배수로관 표고값을 측량하였다. 이후 현장조사 및 측량 자료를 활용하여 네트워크 물리모형의 입력자료 구축을 진행하였으며, 해당 자료 구축은 지리 정보 시스템 중 ArcGIS와의 연계를 통해 구축하였다. 모형의 수리학적 입력자료는 해당지역의 계측자료를 활용하였으며, 필지 사이의 내리흐름 및 펌프를 통한 용수 또한 네트워크 물리모형의 기능을 활용하여 구축하였다. 이후 계측자료와의 비교를 통한 매개변수 보정을 진행하였으며, 전체 논배수로에 대한 농업용수의 흐름 및 회귀수량을 분석하였다. 해당 연구를 통해 농업용수의 회귀수 산정 및 지역 편차에 따른 회귀수 정량화 등의 연구에 활용될 것으로 기대한다.

기후변화에 관한 정부 간 협의체 6차 보고서에 따르면 강우 변동성이 증가함에 따라 홍수 피해가 빈번해질 것으로 예상된다. 집중호우, 태풍, 장마 등 물 관련 재해의 발생빈도와 규모가 댐의 홍수조절능력을 초과하는 경우 홍수량을 예측하고 댐 모의 운영을 통해 댐 방류량을 결정하기 어렵다. 그러므로 댐의 안정성 확보를 위해 기존의 댐 운영방식을 검토하고 개선하여 홍수조절용량을 확보하는 과정이 필요하다. 본 연구의 목적은 기존의 저수지 운영방식을 분석하고 극한의 홍수에 대비하여 저수지 운영 방식을 개선하는데 있다. 연구 대상 댐으로는 합천댐과 섬진강댐을 선정하였다. 합천댐과 섬진강댐은 홍수조절을 위해 Rigid ROM(일정률-일정량 방식)을 사용하고 있으며 200년 빈도 홍수량에 맞춰 설계되었다. 그러나 합천댐은 계획방류량(6,200 m³/sec)이 댐 하류지역의 설계홍수량(2,885 m³/sec)보다 2배 이상 크기 때문에 계획방류량만큼 방류하지 않더라도 하류에서 홍수피해가 발생하는 문제가 있다. 2020년, 섬진강댐은 200년 빈도의 홍수량보다 작은 홍수가 발생했음에도 불구하고 하류 지역에서 홍수 피해가 발생하였다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라에서 홍수기에 일반적으로 사용되는 저수지 운영 방식 - Auto ROM, Rigid ROM, Technical ROM -을 적용하여 댐의 안정성과 하류 홍수피해를 최소화하기 위한 최적의 운영 방안을 검토하였다. 200년 빈도 홍수량과 2020년 홍수 자료를 이용하고 저수지 운영 방식의 변경을 통해 홍수조절효과를 검토하였다. 또한, 홍수조절효과가 미약할 시 사전 방류를 통해 홍수조절효과를 향상시켰다. 본 연구는 안전하고 효율적인 댐 운영 방식을 분석함으로써, 타 다목적 댐 운영에 대한 참고자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

African swine fever virus (ASFV) is a highly contagious and lethal pathogen that poses a threat to the global pork industry. The World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH) has placed strict surveillance measures for ASFV. The possibility of long-term survival of ASFV in raw meat or undercooked pork has been reported. Accordingly, the problem of secondary infection in food waste from households or waste disposal facilities has emerged, raising the need for ASFV monitoring of food waste. However, most of the previously reported ASFV gene detection methods are focused on clinical monitoring of pigs. There are very few cases in which their application in waste has been verified. Since ASFV diagnosis requires rapid monitoring and immediate action, loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) may be suitable, but this requires conformity assessment for LAMP to be used as a diagnostic technique. In this study, six LAMP methods were evaluated, and two methods (kit and manual) were recommended for use in diagnosing ASFV in food waste.

Biogasification is a technology that uses organic wastes to reproduce as environmental fuels containing methane gas. Biogasification has attracted worldwide attention because it can produce renewable-energy and stable land treatment with prohibit from landfilling and ocean dumping of organic waste. Biomethane is produced by refining biogas. It is injected into natural gas pipeline or used transportation fuel such as cars and buses. 90 bio-gasification facilities are operating in 2016, and methane gas production is very low due to it is limited to organic wastes such as food waste, animal manure, and sewage sludge. There are seven domestic biomethane manufacturing facilities, and the use of high value-added such as transport fuels and city-gas through upgrading biogas should be expanded. On the other hand, the rapid biogasification of organic wastes in domestic resulted in frequent breakdowns of facilities and low efficiency problems. Therefore, the problem is improving as technical guidance, design and operational technical guidance is developed and field experience is accumulated. However, while improvements in biogas production are being made, there is a problem with low utilization. In this study, the problems of biomethane manufacturing facilities were identified in order to optimize the production and utilization of biogas from organic waste resources. Also, in order to present the design and operation guideline of the gas pretreatment and the upgrading process, we will investigate precision monitoring, energy balance and economic analysis and solutions for on-site problems by facility.

This study carried out on-site investigation and precision monitoring to prepare proper design and operation technical guidelines for the use of bio gas in organic waste resources (fertilizing urine, food waste, food waste, food waste, etc.). According to the government's mid- and long-term policy on bio gasification, the expansion of waste resources is actively being pushed forward. However, facilities that use the biogas produced for urban gas and transportation are still under-efficient. Precision monitoring was carried out for biogasification facilities of organic waste resources in seven locations nationwide. When the results of precision monitoring were summarized with the four-season average, the efficiency analysis of each organic waste resource showed that the organic breakdown rate was 66.3% on average on VS basis. Analysis of biogas characteristics before and after pretreatment revealed that the $H_2S$ average of the entire facility was measured at 949.7 ppm using iron salts and desulfurization (dry, wet) and that the quality refining facility shearing and rear end was 29.0 ppm and 0.3 ppm. The methane content was found to be reduced by 65.6% at the rear of the fire tank, 63.5% at the back and 97.5% at the rear.

In this study, to optimize the production and utilization of biogas for organic waste resources, the precision monitoring of on-site facilities and the energy balance by facility were analyzed, and the solutions for field problems were investigated, and the design and operation guidelines for pretreatment facilities and generators were presented. Gas pre-treatment is required to solve frequent failures and efficiency degradation in operation of high quality refining facilities, and processing processes such as desulfurization, dehumidification, deoxidization, dust treatment, volatile organic compounds, etc. Since these processes are substances that are also eliminated from the high-quality process, quantitative guidelines are not presented in the gas pretreatment process, but are suggested to operate during the processing process as a qualitative guideline. In particular, dust, siloxane, and volatile organic compounds are the main cause of frequent failure of high-quality processes if they are not removed from the gas pretreatment process. Design of the biogas high-quality process. The operation guidelines provide quality standards [Methane content (including propane) of 95% or more] with 90% or more utilization of the total gas generation, two systems, and a margin of 10% or more. It also proposed installing gas equalization tank, installing thermal automatic control system for controlling equalization of auxiliary fuel, installing dehumidification device at the back of high quality for removing moisture generated in the process of gas compression, installing heat-resisting facilities to prevent freezing of facilities in winter and reducing efficiency, and installing membrane facilities in particular.
