The increasing industrialization of the world has led to precipitous rise for the demand of petroleum-based fuels. The world is presently confronted with the twin crises of fossil fuel depletion and environmental pollution. The search for alternative fuels, which promise a harmonious correlation with sustainable development, energy conservation, efficiency and environmental preservation, has become highly pronounced in the present. Bioenergy is playing an increasingly important role as an alternative and renewable source of energy. Use of Bioenergy has several potential environmental advantages. The most important perhaps is reduction in life cycle greenhouse gases emissions relatives petroleum fuels, since bioenergy is derived from plants which convert Carbon dioxide ($CO_{2}$) into Carbohydrates in their growth. Bioenergy includes solid biomass, biomas and liquid bio-fuels which are fuels derived from crop plants, and include biomass that's directly burned. The two most important bio liquid fuels today are bioethanol from fermenting grain, grass, straw or wood, and biodiesel from plant seed oil.

기후변화를 대비하여 국내 수자원 확보를 위한 해수담수화 플랜트의 필요성이 점차 높아지고 있어 향후 해수담수화 플랜트 건설시 경제적 판단의 근간이 될 수 있는 자료의 필요성도 또한 높아졌다. 이에 본 연구에서는 국내 해수담수화 플랜트 설치가 가능한 지역, 인천, 대산, 여수, 부산, 울산, 속초시를 대상으로 생산수 단가를 추정하여, 향후 플랜트 건설시 참고 자료로 활용이 가능하도록 제안하고자 하였다. 동해바다를 취수원으로 하는 속초와 울산시 생산수 단가는 부산과 여수시의 단가와 유사하였으나, 서해바다를 취수원으로 하는 인천과 대산에 비해 취수시설 건설비용 저감으로 인하여 비교적 경제적인 생산수 단가 범위를 나타내었다. 염도 조건은 비교적 유사하여 생산수 단가에 큰 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 사료되나, 계절별 수온 차에 의한 영향은 역삼투막의 생산수량 차이에 의해 높게 나타날 것으로 사료되었다. 가장 크게 생산수 단가에 영향을 미치는 요소는 생애주기 분석 시 적용되는 감가상각 연수와 플랜트 용량이었으며, 인천과 대산의 경우 감가상각 연수에 따라 최대 29%, 플랜트 용량에 따라 22%까지 차이가 발생하였다. 그러나 본 연구에서 추정된 생산수 단가는 간접비 등을 고려하지 않은 것으로 국내에서 생산할 수 있는 최소한의 단가로 고려되었으며, 실질적인 공사 시에는 제시된 생산수 단가보다 증가될 것으로 사료된다.

The allelopathic effects of Lantana camara L. (Family:Verbenaceae) on germination and seedling establishment of some agricultural crops and weed species have been identified. Aqueous extracts of dry leaves and contaminated soil where L. camara is grown were used to verify allelopathic effect on seed germination of five bioassay species; Raphanus sativas, Capsicum annum, Lycopersicum esculantem, Crotalaria juncia and Chromoleana odorata. Fifty seeds from each bioassay species were placed in a petri dish containing leaf extracts or contaminated soil, and seed germination were examined after 3 days. The plant house experiments were carried out to evaluate the impact of L. camara contaminated soil and leaf debris using L. esculantem as the indicator plant. Seed germination of L. esculentem, C. junica and Capsicum annum was significantly inhibited by L. camara contaminated soil. However, the degree of inhibition varied among the bioassay species. The aqueous extract of dry leaves of L. camara was highly phytotoxic and it significantly reduced seed germination of all bioassay species. There was a decline in plant height, leaf area and shoot dry weight of tomato only in early growth stages when grown in L. camara contaminated soils. However, incorporation of leaf debris into soil affected the vegetative growth of tomato in early stages when the leaf debris concentration was increased. Growth recovered at the latter part of the life cycle. On the basis of these results it can be concluded that the allelochemicals in L. camara contaminated soils are harmful to the seed germination of crop species. The adverse effect was present only during the early growth stages and it did not suppress the latter part of the plant growth. These responses are attributed to allelopathic effects which need confirmation under field conditions.

In the nuclear power plants, stainless steel is widely used for fabrication of various components such as piping and pipe fittings. These piping components are subjected to cyclic loading due to start up and shut down of the nuclear power plants. The application of cyclic loading may lead to initiation of crack at stress raiser locations such as nozzle to piping connection, crown of piping bends etc. of the piping system. Crack initiation can also take place from the flaws which have gone unnoticed during manufacturing. Therefore, prediction of crack initiation life would help in decision making with respect to plant operational life. The primary objective of the present study is to compile various analytical models to predict the crack initiation life of the pipes with notch. Here notch simulates the stress raisers in the piping system. As a part of the study, Coffin-Manson equations have been benchmarked to predict the crack initiation life of pipe with notch. Analytical models proposed by Zheng et al. [1], Singh et al. [2], Yang Dong et al. [25], Masayuki et al. [33] and Liu et al. [3] were compiled to predict the crack initiation life of SA312 Type 304LN stainless steel pipe with notch under fatigue loading. Tensile and low cycle fatigue properties were evaluated for the same lot of SA312 Type 304LN stainless steel as that of pipe test. The predicted crack initiation lives by different models were compared with the experimental results of three pipes under different frequencies and loading conditions. It was observed that the predicted crack initiation life is in very good agreement with experimental results with maximum difference of ±10.0%.

국내외 탄소발자국 연구 동향을 분석하였으며 뉴질랜드 참다래의 전과정 평가 방법의 체계를 해석하였고, 경남지역 참다래를 중심으로 과수의 탄소발자국표지 적용에 대하여 제언하였다. 제품의 탄소발자국은 일반적으로 ISO14040 시리즈, PAS 2050, GHG Protocol 등과 같은 국제표준에 따라서 평가된다. 국내 탄소발자국 표지는 한국환경산업기술원이 환경부의 위탁하에 한국 표준을 마련하고 "기후변화대응", "저탄소상품"이란 문구가 표시된 탄소성적표지를 운영하고 있지만 현재까지 농산물은 인증대상에서 제외되어 있다. 반면 영국, 스웨덴, 덴마크, 뉴질랜드 등은 농산물의 전 과정 평가를 이미 수행하고 있다. 뉴질랜드 참다래의 전과정 평가는 ISO 표준 방법들을 준용하고 ISO 표준에서 분명한 기준이 없는 경우에는 PAS 2050 표준을 준용한다. 시스템 경계는 뉴질랜드 참다래의 총 온실가스 배출량에 대한 각 단계에서의 영향을 이해하기 위해서 과원 생산에서 소비까지의 모든 전과정 단계들을 포함하였다. 전과정 평가 결과에서 총 온실가스 배출량에 대한 각 단계의 영향은 과원 생산 17%, 포장(냉장) 12%, 뉴질랜드 항구 선적 1%, 선박운송 41%, 영국 Zeebrugge에서의 재포장 3%, 대형유통점 6%, 소비 및 쓰레기처리 21%로 나타났다. 선박운송과 같은 장거리 운송은 무역에서 장애물이 될 수 있으며, 이것을 극복하기 위해서는 과원과 냉장에서 온실가스의 감축이 필요하다. 국내 산업현황 분석에 따르면 최근 참다래 수입량은 매우 빠르게 증가하고 있음에도 불구하고 참다래 재배면적과 생산량은 감소하고 있으며, 수출량도 감소하고 있다. 그 이유는 수입 농산물들에 의해서 경제적 이익이 감소하였기 때문인데, 탄소발자국 표지는 참다래뿐만 아니라 국내 과수산업의 새로운 활력을 가져올 수 있다. 과수의 국제 표준에 의한 탄소발자국 도입은 가능한 한 조속히 수행되어야 할 것이다. 본 논문에서 제시된 뉴질랜드 참다래의 전과정 평가 방법 체계는 이를 위해서 유용하게 활용될 수 있다.
