  • This study used biofilm process, which needs simple operation, maintenance and smaller facility area than conventional activated sludge process with the small plant operation, in the treatment of increasing sewage with the rapid industrial growth. The reactor used in this study consists of one anaerobic and one aerobic chamber filled with waste ceramic and waste vinyl as media and the treated sewage was from restaurant source. The experiment was scaled up from lab. to pilot scale and lasted for about 100 days. We focused on the removal efficiency of organics, nitrogen and phosphorus with constant HRT and continuous aeration. The removal efficiency of $BOD_5$ and SS were 94.33% and 87.77% respectively, which was a satisfaction level. However the removal efficiency of $COD_{Cr}$ was 81.46% somewhat below the desired level of 90%, and that of T-N and T-P showed 71.92% and 21.10% respectively, that was below the expected value. The removal efficiency of $COD_{Cr}$ and T-N in the pilot scale was about 10% low compared with the lab.-scale.

  • Isochrysis sp. is a sea microalga that has become a species of interest because of the extreme lipid content and rapid growth rate of this organism indicating its potential for efficient biofuel production. Using genome sequencing/genome-scale modeling for the prediction of Isochrysis sp. metabolic utilities there is high scope for the identification of essential pathways for the extraction of byproducts of interest at a higher rate. In our work, we design and present iIsochr964, a genome-scale metabolic model of Isochrysis sp. including 4315 reactions, 934 genes, and 1879 metabolites, which are distributed among fourteen compartments. For model validation, experimental culture, and isolation of Isochrysis sp. were performed and biomass values were used for validation of the genome-scale model. OptFlux was instrumental in uncovering several novel metabolites that influence the organism's metabolism by increasing the flux of interacting metabolites, such as Malonyl-CoA, EPA, Protein and others. iIsochr964 provides a compelling resource of metabolic understanding to revolutionize its industrial applications, thereby fostering sustainable development and allowing estimations and simulations of the organism metabolism under varying physiological, chemical, and genetic conditions. It is also useful in principle to provide a systemic view of Isochrysis sp. metabolism, efficiently guiding research and granting context to omics data.

  • The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of Small-Scale Chemistry(SSC) lab program on the academic self-efficacy and the science-related affective domain of 11th grade science-majored students. For this study, a SSC lab program was developed on the basis of analyzing the textbook of high school chemistry I in the 7th curriculum, and the experimental group was received SSC experiment lessons(SSC group), and the comparison group was received traditional experiment lessons. After students were grouped high and low level according to the students' prior science achievement score, the differences between the two groups were investigated using 2-way ANCOVA. From the result of this study, we found that the SSC lab program was more effective than the traditional Large-Scale lab program based on the textbook in academic self-efficacy. And the scores of interest toward science-related careers and creativity for the SSC group, which are subcategories of science-related affective domain were significantly higher than those for the comparison group. In students' perceptions on the SSC lab program, majority of students thought that the SSC lab program was convenient, effective and interesting.

  • For Lab-scale Hybrid Rocket's Ignition, It is needs of heat source to vaporize solid fuel. We used Nichrome wire which has a electric resistance for ignition. But Ignition system by using Nichrome wire is not only the disposable system, but also the system which has an affect on the Hybrid rocket's structures(nozzle throat diameter). The new Ignition system composed of Butane+propane gas' supply devices and spark plug. RPL(Rocket Propulsion Lab.) perform the hybrid rocket experiments over 50 times by using new ignition system. The fact that is possible to throttle the Thrust in hybrid rocket is confirmed.

  • Thin films of diblock copolymers may be suitable for semiconductor device applications since they enable patterning of ordered domains with dimensions below photolithographic resolution over wafer-scale area. We obtained nanometer-scale cylindrical structure of dibock copolymer of polystyrene-block-poly(methylmethacrylate), PS-b-PMMA, also demonstrate pattern transfer of the nanoporous polymer using both reactive ion etching. The size of fabricated naonoholes were about 10 nm. Fabricated nanopattern surface was observed by field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM).

  • Korean regional network of tower flux sites, KoFlux, has been initiated to better understand $CO_2$, water and energy exchange between ecosystems and the atmosphere, and to contribute to regional, continental, and global observation networks such as FLUXNET and CEOP. Due to heterogeneous surface characteristics, most of KoFlux towers are located in non-ideal sites. In order to quantify carbon and energy exchange and to scale them up from plot scales to a region scale, applications of various methods combining measurement and modeling are needed. In an attempt to infer regional-scale flux, four methods (i.e., tower flux, convective boundary layer (CBL) budget method, MM5 mesoscale model, and NCAR/NCEP reanalysis data) were employed to estimate sensible heat flux representing different surface areas. Our preliminary results showed that (1) sensible heat flux from the tower in Haenam farmland revealed heterogeneous surface characteristics of the site; (2) sensible heat flux from CBL method was sensitive to the estimation of advection; and (3) MM5 mesoscale model produced regional fluxes that were comparable to tower fluxes. In view of the spatial heterogeneity of the site and inherent differences in spatial scale between the methods, however, the spatial representativeness of tower flux need to be quantified based on footprint climatology, geographic information system, and the patch scale analysis of satellite images of the study site.

  • This paper presents a construction method of logic-based switching control system which operates in widely changing environments. The logic-based switching controller is composed of a family of candidate controllers together with a supervisor. The system does not require any identification schemes of environments. Switching from one candidate controller to another is carried out based on monitoring the output of the system. The basic ideas of adaptation are as follows: (1)each candidate controller is prepared for each environment in advance; (2)the supervisor applies a sequence of speculative controls to a plant with candidate controllers just after the control has started and just after the change of the environment has been detected. It is important that each candidate controller can keep the system stable during a sequence of speculative controls, and the most appropriate candidate controller for the environment to which the system is exposed can be selected before the last speculative control is ended. An application to an antiskid braking system clarifies the effectiveness of the proposed method.

  • Contrail is a kind of cloud that is formed during the flight by vapor condensation of engine exhaust in a cold atmospheric condition. Owing to the negative effects of contrails on the environment and in military applications, several studies for contrail mitigation had been performed in developed countries. The goal of this research is to design a lab-scale contrail generator, and to validate the contrail mitigation technology suggested by previous studies. The contrail generator was made using superheated vapor and a low temperature wind tunnel. Using this generator, the ineffectiveness of ethanol and surfactant suggested in the previous paper on contrail mitigation was found experimentally.

  • 국내외 기상이변으로 인한 하천허용유량의 초과가 많이 일어나고 있다. 이때 사람이 직접 도섭으로 하천의 정보 대한 정보를 취득하기 어렵기 때문에 간접적인 방법으로의 정보취득이 중요시 되어야 한다. 그에 따른 방법으로 주입식의 표면부자를 활용한 방법이나, PIV 기법을 활용한 표면영상유속계측법을 이용한 유속측정방법 등이 있다. 하지만 이런 표면영상유속계측법은 영상의 변위가 커지게 되어 시간간격 설정에 대한 어려움 등이 있고, 표면부자법의 경우 표면 유속을 대변 할 수 있을지에 대한 분석연구가 필요하다. 따라서 이러한 표면 영상 유속계측법과 표면부자의 수표면 유속 측정 능력 등을 분석하여 GPS 전자부자의 활용성을 확인해 보고자 하였다. Lab-Scale 수로에서 GPS전자부자를 입자로 활용하여 주입 후 흘러가는 부분을 영상촬영하고, LS-PIV 기법을 활용하여 분석한 후 검증이 된 전자유속계 (FlowTracker)의 데이터를 참값으로 비교 분석하였다. LS-PIV 기법을 통해서 GPS 전자부자의 표면 유속 측정 능력을 잘 검증해낸다면, 유속측정에 용이하고 접근성 및 안정성까지 확보할 수 있다. 더 나아가 홍수 시 사용뿐만 아니라, ADCP나 ADV로 측정이 불가능한 저수심·저유속의 중소하천에서도 적용할 수 있다. GPS전자부자의 지속적인 연구는 향후 하천 측정 시스템에 많은 도움을 줄 것으로 사료된다.
