미래를 위협하는 요인의 하나로 이산화탄소 증가로 인한 지구온난화가 지적되고 있다. 각 나라들과 각 산업별로 이산화탄소 배출량을 줄이고자 하는 노력을 기울이고 있으며 전과정 평가라는 정량화된 방법으로 구조물 및 건축물의 전과정 동안 발생하는 환경부하 및 환경영향을 정량적으로 평가하고 았다. 하지만 건설분야의 경우에는 LCI DB도 충분히 구축되어 있지 않고 전과정 기간이 매우 길고 구조물 및 건축물도 유일무이한 경우가 많아서 전과정 평가를 수행하는데 많은 노력과 시간이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 아주 정확한 탄소배출량을 추정하기 보다는 발주가 또는 설계자가 환경부하 저감과 관련한 신속한 의사결정이 필요한 경우에 적은 노력으로 이산화탄소 배출량을 편리하게 추정할 수 있는 간략화된 추정모델을 제시하는 것을 목적으로 하고 있다. 전국 25개 도로현장 데이터를 이용하여 일반적인 LCA를 수행하였으며 수행된 결과를 이용하여 다중회귀분석을 실시하여 간편 추정식을 도출하였다. 간편 추정식으로 산출된 이산화타소 배출량과 일반적인 LCA를 수행하여 추정한 배출량을 비교한 결과 16개 도로현장의 경우에 오차율이 5% 미만으로 의미있는 결과가 도출되었다.

본 연구에서는 태양광 폐모듈 해체과정에서 회수한 실리콘을 재활용하여 기계구조용 메커니컬 실을 제조하는 공정에 대해 전과정평가 방법에 의한 환경성평가를 수행하였다. 재활용 실리콘은 고순도 정제 후 탄소와 반응시켜 β-SiC 입자로 합성하고 압축 성형, 소결 및 열처리를 거쳐 제품을 생산한다. 현장 데이터 수집 및 환경부 LCI DB를 활용하여 각 단계별로 자원고갈, 산성화, 부영양화, 지구온난화, 오존층파괴, 광화학산화물 등 6개 영역의 환경영향을 산정하였다. 영향범주 별 환경영향은 지구온난화 45 kg CO₂, 광화학산화물 2.23 kg C₂H₄으로 크게 나타났으며 가중화 분석결과 광화학산화물, 자원고갈 및 지구온난화에 의한 환경영향이 98.7%로 높은 기여도를 차지하였다. 원료 실리콘과 탄소를 미분쇄 혼합하는 습식공정과 β-SiC 과립화 공정이 주요한 환경영향 유발요인이므로 건식공정으로 전환 및 대기 배출되는 용매는 회수하여 재이용하는 시스템으로 개선이 필요하다. 폐모듈 실리콘의 재활용에 의해 자원고갈의 영향은 53.9%, 지구온난화는 60.7% 감소하며 가중화 결과 전체적인 환경영향이 27% 감소하는 것으로 분석되어 폐모듈 재활용은 자원절약과 탄소중립 실현의 주요 수단이 될 수 있음을 LCA 분석으로 확인하였다.

Pursuing sustainable development throughout society and industry and the field of environmental policy, each international organization or nation has performed international standardization projects on environmental management activities for their system as well as environmental assessment for a product such as life cycle assessment (LCA) and life cycle inventory database (LCI DB), and the environmental aspects have been increasingly demanded as crucial evaluation specifications. Moreover, the conventional environmental policy, which represents the direct-control, has been more dependent on the market forces and product itself after the Climate Change Convention., and the Integrated Product Policy (IPP, EU) is applied vigorously to strengthen global competitiveness of a product and to achieve the effect of environmental improvement for it. According to change of the international railway market, the value of Eco-Design has been increasingly important in developed countries including EU. Thus, each country is establishing its own guidelines, software and database for each product, and developing new policies through Eco-Design with practical results in marketing. To react this and develop Korean railway as an environment-friendly industry with priority to other transportation system as well as maintain high place in technology, the direction of RACE software development of main function is introduced, which is exclusively used for EMU to assess both environmental and economic aspects with LCA and eco-efficiency (EE).

Changes of lipocortin 1 (LC1) in the brain induced by immobilization stress were investigated in rats. Rats were immobilized for 0,1,2,3,4, and 5 h, and the brain slices were immunostained with anti-human LC1 antibodl (anti-LC1). Immunoreactivity of LCI (iLC1) was most prominent in neuronal cell bodies and processes of hippocampal CA regions and dentate gyrus. At rest without stress, most of the LC1 in the neuron located in the cytoplasm with the nuclei exhibiting relatively scarce immunoreactivity. Immobilization stress changed this intracellular distribution of LC1 by increasing nuclear LC1. The change was apparent in 1 h and reached the peak by 3 h. However, by 5 h of immobilization, the distribution pattern returned to that of the resting state. This transient nuclear translocation of LC1 was most prominent in $CA_1$ pyramidal neurons, and was not observed in areas other than the hippocampus. Adrenalectomy abolished this transient translocation of LC1. The roles of hippocampal LC1 as a mediator of glucocorticoid feedback signal and/or as an intracellar stress signaling protein could be suggested.

Many researchers have studied the relationship between the information structure and intonation. Arguments about the relations between the information structure and intonation researched so far can be summarized as follows: the intonation of topic and focus in English information structure is represented as i) a pitch accent, ii) a tune (a pitch accent + an edge tone), or iii) a boundary tone. The purpose of this paper is to study various informational patterns of the topic in English information structure, using real TV discussion data. In this paper, the topic is classified as contrastive topics and non-contrastive topics, based on contrastiveness. The results show that the intonation of the topic in English information structure is implemented as a pitch accent, neither a tune nor a boundary tone. Of the non-contrastive topics, while anaphoric determinative NP topics (Lnc, Lncd) are mainly represented as a H* pitch accent, the pronoun topic(Lp) does not have a pitch accent. Of contrastive topics, while the semantically focused topic(Lci) is mainly represented as a H* pitch accent, the contrastively focused topic(Lcc) is represented as both H* and L+H* pitch accents. It shows that it is not always true that the topic or focus to have the meaning of contrast is represented as a L+H* pitch accent as argued in the previous researches.

저수지와 양수장은 우리나라에서 용수공급면적기준으로 전체 공급량의 78%를 차지하는 중요한 용수 공급시설이다. 본 연구의 목적은 저수지와 양수장의 환경영향을 LCA기법을 이용해 비교 분석함으로써 두 시설들의 환경영향을 정량적으로 평가하는데 있다. 연구대상 수리시설로서 경기도 안성에 위치한 이동저수지와 은산양수장을 선정하여 각각에 대하여 농업수리시설의 전과정평가를 실시하였다. 평가를 위하여 네덜란드 Pre사가 개발한 소프트웨어 Simapro 7.1를 이용하였다. 두 시설에 대한 원료물질 취득 단계부터 건설, 운영, 유지관리 및 폐기단계까지 전과정의 환경영향을 분석한 결과, 두 종류의 시설 설치에 따른 토지이용, 상 하류의 생태적 영향 등이 고려되지 않았지만 저수지에 의한 농업용수 공급이 양수장에 의한 용수 공급보다 환경친화적이라고 볼 수 있다. 저수지의 경우 건설단계의 환경영향이 크고, 양수장의 경우, 운영단계에 환경영향이 큰 것으로 분석되었다. 단계별로 환경영향은 저수지는 건설단계에 건설재료 예를 들어 레미콘, 시멘트 등이 환경부하를 크게 발생시키기 때문이고, 양수장은 이용 단계에서 용수공급을 위한 전력사용에서 기인하는데, 이는 전력생산시 화석연료와 같은 자원소비가 많기 때문이다. 이번 연구는 토목시설물중 농업 용수 공급시설의 전과정에서 환경영향을 종합적으로 평가하는데 LCA가 활용되었다는 점에서 의의가 있으며, 향후 하드웨어적인 시설뿐만 아니라 농업용수 공급에 따른 전과정평가를 수행하고, 농업용수 LCI D/B 구축에 기초자료를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

The purpose of this study is to validate the environmental performance of the 'eco-friendly lightweight form' in the construction process. Unlike existing euro form and aluminum form, the proposed form does not require form oil during the process of concrete casting and is lightweight because it is made of engineering plastic. Therefore, eco-friendly lightweight form will reduce the $CO_2$ emissions in the construction process. To verify the hypothesis, the study compared existing forms and eco-friendly light weight form's $CO_2$ emissions in each stage in construction process when using 1,000 forms and 100 times from the LCI(Life Cycle Inventory) data. The total $CO_2$ emissions of the eco-friendly light weight form were 30,487kg $CO_2$, which equated to about 58% and 20% less emissions than the euroform and aluminum form. The result of the study verified that the eco-friendly lightweight form was effectively reduced $CO_2$ emission in the construction process.

The new paradigm called 'Low Carbon Green Growth' involved in reducing greenhouse gas is on the rise as a critical issue worldwide. The essential of Kyoto protocol issued in 1997 is to achieve the sustainable economic growth environments by converting existing production system to eco-friendly one. The protocol imposes the liability to reduce greenhouse gas to the countries joined to it. The paradigm is directly involved in the energy consumption and environmental pollution caused by construction activities. Value Engineering which are mainly applied in the design phase in practice is a measure to improve the value of a constructed facility by analyzing and/or appraising the functions and costs of it. However, an appropriate method which assesses eco-friendliness of constructed facility has not been propose by researchers. This paper proposes a method which assesses the performance involved in eco-friendliness of constructed facility using Value Engineering (VE) in the design phase. The method estimates the environmental cost relative to the amounts of energy consumption and environmental pollution occurred over the entire project life cycle. The database called "Life Cycle Inventory DB", which stores information about the amounts of environmental pollution, is used. The algorithm which retrieves the amounts of environmental pollutions from the DB and converts them into environmental costs is developed. The algorithm is implemented into a system which quantifies the eco-friendliness of constructed facility in the design phase using VE.
