Over 100 experiments have been conducted at the University of Maryland to evaluate the performance of a water mist fire suppression system for protection of an interstitial space below a raised subfloor. Experiments are conducted as part of an ongoing research effort to compare the fire suppression capabilities of various water mist system designs in a raised subfloor space. Water mist system design parameters considered in the investigation include means of actuation, concentration of water mist required for extinguishment of fires, and delivery mechanisms of water mist within close proximity to the fire. Delivery of the required concentration of water mist within close proximity to the fire is a principal factor governing the adequacy of water mist systems. Two sets of experiments have been conducted to document the performance of water mist system designs. One set is involved in documenting the concentration of water mist as a function of position within the space. The second set of experiments is concerned with the ability of water mist system designs to control fires in the space. One result of the research is the assessment of the ability of a water mist system to control fires at particular locations as a function of water mist density at that location.

The relationships between subjective symptoms of toluene exposed workers and concentration of their urinary excretion of hippuric acid were investigated. The exposed groups of 146 workers exposed to toluene and the control groups of 47 workers have never been exposed to toluene in Ulsan area were selected and studied. Hippuric acid was measured by HPLC, and counts of blood cells and liver function test were also performed. The mean value of urinary hippuric acid concentration of the control group was 0.322($\pm$0.267) g/L, while that of the exposed group was 1.260($\pm$0.395) g/L. As the concentration of hippuric acid had statistical proximity in $0.1\%$ level, WBC, GOT, and GPT didn't have any proximity(P>0.05). The exposed group showed lower level of leucocyte counts 6522.40(1710.3) than the control group 6891.50(1483.7). The exposed group showed higher level of GOT(25.75), GPT(27.09) than GOT(23.75), GPT(25.21) of the control group. Dried skin was the highest complained symptom of toluene exposed workers, the second strained eye, the third poor auditory function, and the fourth was headache.

Concentrations of fine particulate matter ($PM_{2.5}$) and several of its particle constituents measured outside homes in Houston, Texas, and Los Angeles, California, were characterized using multiple regression analysis with proximity to point and mobile sources and meteorological factors as the independent variables. $PM_{2.5}$ mass and the concentrations of organic carbon (OC), elemental carbon (EC), benzo-[a]-pyrene (BaP), perylene (Per), benzo-[g,h,i]-perylene (BghiP), and coronene (Cor) were examined. Negative associations of wind speed with concentrations demonstrated the effect of dilution by high wind speed. Atmospheric stability increase was associated with concentration increase. Petrochemical source proximity was included in the EC model in Houston. Area source proximity was not selected for any of the $PM_{2.5}$ constituents' regression models. When the median values of the meteorological factors were used and the proximity to sources varied, the air concentrations calculated using the models for the eleven $PM_{2.5}$ constituents outside the homes closest to influential highways were 1.5-15.8 fold higher than those outside homes furthest from the highway emission sources. When the median distance to the sources was used in the models, the concentrations of the $PM_{2.5}$ constituents varied 2 to 82 fold, as the meteorological conditions varied over the observed range. We found different relationships between the two urban areas, illustrating the unique nature of urban sources and suggesting that localized sources need to be evaluated carefully to understand their potential contributions to $PM_{2.5}$ mass and its particle constituents concentrations near residences, which influence baseline indoor air concentrations and personal exposures. The results of this study could assist in the appropriate design of monitoring networks for community-level sampling and help improve the accuracy of exposure models linking emission sources with estimated pollutant concentrations at the residential level.

목적: 섬광 근접측정법은 항원 항체 반응 후 결합 분획과 유리분획을 분리하는 과정이 필요없다. 이러한 원리를 검체 내 hCG와 항 ${\alpha}$ hCG 항체간의 항원 항체 반응에 적용하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 항 ${\alpha}$ hCG 항체를 biotin과 결합시켜 SPA bead에 부착된 streptavidin과 부착 가능하게 만들었다. 이 측정법은 항 ${\alpha}$ hCG 항체가 부착된 SPA beads에 대해 혈청내 hCG와 표지항원인 $[^{125}I]hCG$간의 경쟁 반응을 기본 원리로 이용하였다. Biotin 표지 항 ${\alpha}$ hCG 항체를 $[^{125}I]hCG\;100{\mu}{\ell}$와 표준용액이나 환자 혈청 $200{\mu}{\ell}$이 들어있는 실온에서 20분 방치하였다. 그리고 streptavidin이 붙은 SPA beads $20{\mu}{\ell}$를 바이알에 넣고 10분 더 방치한다. 환자 혈청의 수치를 표준 응답곡선을 통해 계산하였다. 결과: SPA측정법에 사용되는 방사성 핵종의 방사능 양에 따라 반응용액 속에서 SPA bead와 자유 방사성 핵종에 의한 배후 방사능이 측정값에 영향이 없음을 확인하였다. SPA 방법을 응용한 측정에서 적합한 표준 응답곡선을 얻었고, 실제 환자혈청에서의 hCG 농도를 결정할 수 있었다. 결론: 이 실험을 통해 SPA 방법을 이용한 측정법이 임상진단에 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The concentration fields in the proximities of a local gas emission source are experimentally analyzed in several combinations of wind incidences and source emissions. These conditions are determined by the plume buoyancy, emission velocity and incident flow wind speed. Concentration measurements are performed by an aspirating probe in a boundary layer wind tunnel. The analysis included the mean concentration values and the intensity of concentration fluctuations in a neutral atmospheric boundary layer flow. Different configurations are tested: an isolated stack in a homogeneous terrain and a stack with a bluff body in close proximity, located windward and leeward from the emission source. The experimental mean concentration values are contrasted with Gaussian profiles and the dilution factor is analyzed with respect to the empirical curves of the minimum dilution. Finally, a study on the plume intermittency is performed in a cross-sectional plane near the emission source. It is possible to highlight the following observations: a) plume vertical asymmetry in the case of an isolated emission source, b) significant differences in the dispersion process related to the relative location of the emission source and bluff body effects, and c) different probabilistic behavior of the concentration fluctuation data in a cross-sectional measurement plane inside the plume.

근래 들어 도심지 구간에서 공동주택 건설과 같은 개발행위가 빈번히 이루어짐에 따라 운영 중인 기존 지하철과 인접하여 지상구조물이 시공되는 경우 지하철 구조물 및 궤도에 영향을 끼쳐 안정성 및 사용성에 문제를 발생시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 지하철 인접 지상구조물 시공시 기존 지하철의 안정성 확보를 위한 종합관리대책을 제안하였다. 기존 지하철에 대한 근접도 평가, 기존 구조물 안정성 검토, 궤도 안정성 검토, 집중관리구간 선정 및 계측계획 수립 등의 4단계 종합관리대책을 수립하여 인접시공 영향을 최소화하였다. 1단계 근접도 평가를 통해 계측 점검주기를 선정하고, 2단계 시공단계 및 지하수 영향을 고려한 3차원 수치해석을 통해 기존 지하철 및 정거장 구조물의 변위, 응력 등 안정성을 검토하고, 3단계 궤도틀림 등 궤도 안정성을 검토하여 열차운행의 안전성을 검토하며, 4단계 수치해석 결과를 바탕으로 변위 집중구간을 집중관리구간으로 선정하여 중점적인 계측관리가 수행하도록 제안하였다.

I use panel data of sales by the foreign subsidiaries of the U.S. MNCs to examine whether trading blocs create more or less FDI and the impacts on FDI of the extended market size created by forming blocs. By employing a region-fixed effects model, I find that countries forming trading blocs attract more FDI, particularly from non-member countries, but that FDI does not always increase with the market size of the blocs. As the market size increases, FDI increases only for large blocs. However, these findings are sensitive to model specifications. A policy implication is that a country considering forming or joining a trading bloc with a view to attract FDI may want to form a trading bloc with a country or countries with a large market size.

The spatial distribution and the energy spectrum of the neutron yield were investigated with the neutron activation analysis and MCNP simulation was carried out to verify the analysis results and to extend the results to a 3D mapping of the neutron yield distribution in the KSTAR. High purity Ni specimen was selected in the neutron activation analysis. Total neutron yields turned out to be 3.76 × 10¹² n/s - 7.56 × 10¹² n/s at the outer vessel of the KSTAR, two orders of magnitude lower than those at the inner vessel of the KSTAR, which demonstrates the attenuation of neutron yield while passing through the different structural materials of the reactor. Based on the fully expanded 3D simulation results, 2D cross-sectional distributions of the neutron yield on XY and ZX planes of KSTAR were examined. The results reveal that the neutron yield has its maximum concentration near the center of blanket and decreases with increasing proximity to the vacuum vessel wall.

전국 65개 산림지역을 대상으로 확산형 패시브 샘플러를 이용하여 2002년부터 2009년까지 월 단위로 대기 중 이산화질소($NO_2$) 농도를 측정하고 도시지역에서의 결과와 비교함으로써 산림지역에서의 이산화질소농도의 시간적 및 공간적 분포 특성을 규명하였다. 연구기간 동안 산림 내 $NO_2$의 농도는 서서히 감소하는 경향을 보였으며, 전국 산림의 연평균 농도는 8ppb로 도시지역의 평균값(19.4ppb)과 생태적 기준값(14.6ppb) 보다 낮았다. 계절별로는 $NO_2$의 농도가 산림지역과 도시지역 모두에서 동절기(3.8ppb)에 높고 하절기(2.8ppb)에 낮은 경향을 보였는데, 도시지역이 더 뚜렷한 계절변화를 보였. 지역별로는 다른 지역에 비해 수도권 지역과 인접한 경기와 충남에서 이산화질소의 연평균 농도가 높게 나타났다. 이러한 지역간 이산화질소 농도 차이의 원인을 규명하기 위해 질소산화물 배출량과 이산화질소 농도 간의 상관관계를 분석한 결과, 유의적인 정의 상관성이 나타남에 따라 질소산화물 배출원의 규모와 근접성이 대기 중 이산화질소의 농도를 결정짓는 중요한 인자임을 시사하였다.

The mechanism of interaction of cyanocobalamin (CB) with bovine serum albumin (BSA) has been investigated by spectrofluorometric and circular dichroism methods. Association constant for the CB-BSA system showed that the interaction is non-covalent in nature. Binding studies in the presence of an hydrophobic probe, 8-anilino-l-naphthalene sulphonic acid, sodium salt (ANS) showed that there is hydrophobic interaction between CB and ANS and they do not share common sites in BSA. Stern-Volmer analysis of fluorescence quenching data showed that the fraction of fluorophore (protein) accessible to the quencher (CB) was close to unity indicating thereby that both tryptophan residues of BSA are involved in drug-protein interaction. The rate constant for quenching, greater than $10^{10}$ $M^{-1}$ $s^{-1}$, indicated that the drug binding site is in close proximity to tryptophan residue of BSA. Thermodynamic parameters obtained from data at different temperatures showed that the binding of CB to BSA involves hydrophobic bonds predominantly. Significant increase in concentration of free drug was observed for CB in presence of paracetamol. Circular dichroism studies revealed the change in helicity of BSA due to binding of CB to BSA.
