본 연구에서는 제연방식 중 대형공간에서 주로 사용하는 거실급배기 방식에서 급기방식 및 방향에 따른 연기의 이동현상에 대해 CFD 도구인 FDS(Fire Dynamics Simulator) 프로그램을 이용하여 확인해 보았다. 거실급배기 방식에서는 Sequence 설계의 어려움으로 주로 한쪽 방향에서만 급기가 이루어지는데, 한 방향에서만 급기를 실시할 경우 연기의 팽창압력에 급기되는 공기의 압력이 가중되어 원하지 않는 인접구역으로의 연기확산 속도가 빨라진다. 연기가 인접구역으로 확산되는 것을 최소화 하고 재실자의 피난시간을 최대한 보장하기 위해 급기를 한 방향이 아닌 화재실 인접구역에서 나누어 시행해 보았으며, 결론적으로 화재실 주변의 가시거리 감소시간은 인접구역이 비슷한 수준으로 조정되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구는 프라우드 상사와 등온기체모델을 적용한 축소모형실험을 실시하여, 터널화재시 연기의 거동과 부분배연설비의 배연효율을 분석함으로써 방재설비의 운영방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 실험 결과 터널 화재시 입계유속 이상의 제연 풍량이 유지 될 경우 부분 배연 갤러리의 배연효율은 그룹댐퍼와 균일댐퍼 모두 거의 유사하였다. 또한, 터널내 차량이 정체시 화재가 발생할 경우, 화재초기에는 화원 앞 뒤에 위치해있는 부분 배연 갤러리만을 열어 연키의 성총회률유지하면서 연층을 배연시키고 제트팬은 가동시키지 않고 이후 승객이 모두 대피할 수 있는 충분한 시간이 지난 후 제트팬을 함께 가동시켜 터널 내의 연기를 배출하도록 하며 교통 소통이 원활한 경우에는 터널의 제연설비를 가몽하여 연기의 후방전파를 차단하고 통시에 부분배연 설비를 가동할 것을 제안하였다.

According to building law, there are only regulations on the fire prevention compartments that can perform the function of partial smoke compartment, but the building law management of the smoke compartment for effective smoke diffusion prevention and control is not possible. The lack of control on the smoke compartment such as leakage rate on the penetrating part, and the lack of leakage rate in the design of smoke control of fire safety law resulted in the absence of fundamental safety technology. Therefore, this study seeks to find solutions to domestic problems after reviewing relevant domestic laws and regulations.

The static and dynamic behaviour of VGT and EGR systems has a significant impact on overall engine performance, fuel economy and exhaust emissions. This is because they define the state and composition of the air charge entering the engine. This work focused on the effect of the aperture ratio of VGT and EGR on the emission and flow characteristics under partial loads conditions. The investigation carried out using 2 liter PCCI 4 cylinder diesel engine with VGT and EGR. The result of this study shows that smoke increases with increasing EGR rate and NOx decreases with increasing EGR rate. It was also found that the residual gas contents greatly impact on soot emission under partial load condition. Finally, it can be concluded that VGT and EGR aperture ratio can greatly impact not only on soot and NOx but also air charging.

Although prion diseases, a group of fatal neurodegenerative diseases of human and animals, are presumed to be caused by several mechanisms including abnormal change of prion protein, oxidative stress is still believed to play a central role in development of the diseases. Cigarette smoking has a few beneficial effects on neuronal diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease despite of many detrimental effects. In this study, we investigated how chronic cigarette smoking could exert such beneficial effect against oxidative damage. For this study, homogenates of 87V scrapie-infected brain was inoculated on intracerebral system of IM mice through stereotaxic microinjection and biochemical properties concerning with oxidative stress were examined. The scrapie infection decreased the activity of mitochondrial Mn-containing superoxide dismutase by 50% of the control, meanwhile the effects on other antioxidant enzymes including Cu or Zn-containing superoxide dismutase were not significant. Additionally, the infection elevated superoxide level as well as monoamine oxide-B (MAO-B) in the infected brain. Interestingly, many of the detrimental effects were improved in partial or significantly by long-term cigarette smoke exposure (CSE). CSE not only completely prevented the generation of mitochondrial superoxide but also significantly (p<0.05) decreased the elevated mitochondrial MAO-B activity in the infected brain. Concomitantly, CSE prevented subsequent protein oxidation and lipid peroxidation caused by scrapie infection; however, it did not affect the activities of antioxidant enzymes. These results suggest that chronic exposure of cigarette smoke contribute to in part preventing the progress of neurodegeneration caused by scrapie infection.

Purpose: Obstructive sleep apnea and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are independent risk factors of cardiovascular disease (CVD), and their coexistence is known as overlap syndrome (OS). Endothelial dysfunction is the initial stage of CVD; however, underlying mechanisms linking OS and CVD are not well understood. The aim of this study was to explore whether OS can lead to more severe inflammation and endothelial apoptosis by promoting endothelial dysfunction, and to assess the intervention effects of antioxidant tempol. Materials and Methods: Male Wistar rats (n=66) were exposed to normal oxygen [normal control (NC) group], intermittent hypoxia (IH group), cigarette smoke (CH group), as well as cigarette smoke and IH (OS group). Tempol intervention was assessed in OS group treated with tempol (OST group) or NaCl (OSN group). After an 8-week challenge, lung tissues, serum, and fresh blood were harvested for analysis of endothelial markers and apoptosis. Results: The levels of intracellular adhesion molecule-1, vascular cellular adhesion molecule-1, and apoptosis in circulating epithelial cells were the highest in OS group and the lowest in NC group. These levels were all greater in IH group than in CH group, and were lower in OST group than in OS and OSN groups (all p<0.001). Conclusion: Synergistic effects of IH with cigarette smoke-induced emphysema produce a greater inflammatory status and endothelial apoptosis. OS-related inflammation and endothelial cell apoptosis may play important roles in promoting cardiovascular dysfunction, and antioxidant tempol could achieve a partial protective effect.

The effect of long-term ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) administration on the clearance of carboxyhemoglobin (CO-Hb) and the property of blood gases was investigated in rats. Rats were received ginseng water extract (0.025% in drinking water) for 42 weeks starting at the age of 6 weeks. They were exposed to the diluted mainstream smoke generated from 15 filter cigarettes for 20 min in a round polycarbonate chamber (D37 cmXH13 cm). Under this condition, the mean CO-Hb content of control and the ginseng-treated rats immediately after the exposure was nearly the same as 13.8$\pm$2.9 f) and 13.9$\pm$1.6%, respectively. However, CO-Hb was more rapidly removed from blood in the ginseng treated rats than in untreatEd control with the laps of time, namely, its biological half life In the former was 36.9$\pm$1.5 min and in the latter was 56.9$\pm$13.2 min. Although long-term ginseng treatment did not affect the content of hemoglobin and blood pH of rats, it slightly increased blood oxygen content and its partial pressure value, and decreased levels of carbon dioxide and bicarbonate. These results suggest that long-term administration of rats with ginseng extract accelerate the elimination of CO from the blood. This effect seems to be related to the enhancement of oxygen consumption of the rat by a certain action of ginseng components as previously reported.

Currently, due to the serious world-wide air pollution by substances emitted from vehicles, emission control is enforced more firmly and it is expected that the regulation requirements for emission will become more severe. A new concept combustion technology that can reduce the NOx and PM in relation to combustion is urgently required. This study used a split injection method at a 4 cylinder common-rail direct injection diesel engine in order to apply the partially premixed charge compression ignition combustion method without significantly altering engine specifications And it is investigated that the effects of the injection ratio and SCV(swirl control valve) to emission characteristics. From these tests, soot(g) and NOx(g) emission could be reduced to 40% and 92% compared to base engine performance at specified engine driving conditions(6 points with weight factors) according to application of split injection and SCV(swirl control valve).

본 연구에서는 입자상물질 저감을 위해 개발한 디젤미립자 필터를 선박용 고속 디젤엔진에 적용하여 측정방법에 따른 저감효율을 비교 분석하였다. 시험에 사용된 엔진은 최고출력 403 kW의 4행정 기계식 선박용 고속 디젤엔진이며, 선박 엔진의 부하와 회전속도 제어를 위해 AC 동력계를 사용하였다. 선박 엔진 시험주기인 E3 cycle의 네 운전조건에서 저감효율을 측정하였으며, 측정방법으로는 입자상물질 및 soot의 저감특성을 살펴보기 위해 분류희석 방법과 광흡수법이 적용된 계측기를 각각 이용하였다. 디젤미립자 필터 적용에 따른 저감효율 측정 결과, 엔진허용 배압을 충족함과 동시에 입자상물질의 경우 76 ~ 91 %, soot(${\approx}$블랙카본)은 90 %이상 확인할 수 있었다. 이 결과로부터, 선박용 디젤엔진에서 배출되는 입자상물질 및 soot 저감기술로 디젤미립자 필터 적용 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 측정방법별 저감효율이 상이한 결과로부터 측정방법의 단일화 필요성을 확인할 수 있었다.
