The $Ph{\acute{e}}bus$ FP project is an international reactor safety project. Its main objective is to study the release, transport and retention of fission products in a severe accident of a light water reactor (LWR). The FPT4 test was performed with a fuel debris bed geometry, to look at late phase core degradation and the releases of low volatile fission products and actinides. Post Test Analyses results indicate that releases of noble gases (Xe, Kr) and high-volatile fission products (Cs, I) were nearly complete and comparable to those obtained during $Ph{\acute{e}}bus$ tests performed with a fuel bundle geometry (FPT1, FPT2). Volatile fission products such as Mo, Te, Rb, Sb were released significantly as in previous tests. Ba integral release was greater than that observed during FPT1. Release of Ru was comparable to that observed during FPT1 and FPT2. As in other $Ph{\acute{e}}bus$ tests, the Ru distribution suggests Ru volatilization followed by fast redeposition in the fuelled section. The similar release fraction for all lanthanides and fuel elements suggests the released fuel particles deposited onto the plenum surfaces. A blockage by molten material induced a steam by-pass which may explain some of the low releases. The revaporisation testing under different atmospheres (pure steam, $H_2/N_2$ and steam /$H_2$) and up to $1000^{\circ}C$ was performed on samples from the first upper plenum. These showed high releases of Cs for all the atmospheres tested. However, different kinetics of revaporisation were observed depending on the gas composition and temperature. Besides Cs, significant revaporisations of other elements were observed: e.g. Ag under reducing conditions, Cd and Sn in steam-containing atmospheres. Revaporisation of small amounts of fuel was also observed in pure steam atmosphere.

Although dental laboratory technicians are prone to be exposed to various work-related health hazardous materials such as dusts, chemicals, etc., the prevalence and nature of work-related health problems of them have not been a matter of great concern in the field of occupational health service in Korea. The purpose of the present investigation was to describe a collected profile of subjective health symptoms and their attributable factors in Korean dental laboratory technicians. A questionnaire listing five groups of health symptoms and five health symptom-related factors was mailed to randomly selected 1,900 dental laboratory technicians. Among them, 1,344 dental laboratory technicians filled out the questionnaires and returnde them. Five groups of health symptoms included musculoskeletal symptom, dermal symptoms, respiratory symptoms, eys symptoms, and ear symptoms. Five health symptom-related factors were occupational environment-related health risk factors, work history, health related habits and status, use of personal protective equipment and general characteristics. Detailed parameters of health risk factors were work posture, vibration, and chemical or physical hazards such as dust, fume, vapor, solvent, light, and noise for occupational environment-related factors; work place, area, number of employees, work hours, career, work part, and work load for work history; Broca's index, hours of sleep, eating, smoking, alcohol, exercise, health examination, and self assessed health status for health habits and status; face masks, goggles, and so on for use of personal protective equipment, and; age, sex, marital status, and education for general characteristics. Before the start of main survey, a pilot survey was carried out for validity and reliability tests of the questionnaire. All the data obtained were coded and analyzed with PC/SAS 6.12 program. The prevalence of health symptoms was the highest in musculoskelton (87.3%), and followde by eyes (78.9%), respiratory organs (64.3%), ears (57.8%), and skin (52.2%) in descending order. Statistically significant risk factors by multiple logistic regression analyses were sex, health examination, self assessed health status, and hand/finger posture in musculoskeletal symptoms; sex, self assessed health status, career, acid gas, and hand contact with resin mixture in deraml symptoms; Broka's smoking, exercise, self assessed health status, and face mask in respiratory symptoms; sex, hours of sleep, self assessed health status, work hours, work load, plaster dust, inadequate lighting, and goggle in eys symptoms, and eating, smoking, self assessed health status, and work load in ear symptoms. With the above considerations in mind, prevalence of subjective symptoms among Korean dental laboratory technicians was relatively high, and they were attributable to most of the occupational environment-related factors, work history, use of personal protective equipment, health habits and status, and general characteristics. Particularly, it is suggested that health promotion programs for promoting self- assessed health status and smoking cessation, preventive measures for protection of the female technicians’health, and reducing work load be necessary, since those factors were associated with more than one subjective symptom.

지반의 하부에 설치되는 지하매설물은 중요한 토목구조물로서 상·하수도관, 지중전력선, 각종 통신선로, 도시가스관 등이 이에 해당한다. 이런 지중매설물들은 시공 시 집중강우, 차량하중 등과 같은 외부적인 요인에 의해서 위험에 노출될 수 있고 이로 인한 피해가 발생할 수 있어 적절한 뒤채움재의 선정과 시공이 중요하다. 현재 주로 사용하는 공법으로는 지하매설물 주변을 흙으로 메우고 다짐을 하는 방법이 사용되고 있는데 이는 매설관 하부의 다짐이 어렵고 다짐효율이 떨어져서 지하매설물의 안정성을 저감시키고 이로 인해 각종 파손이 발생한다. 또한 개착 시 원지반 교란에 따라 지반의 강도가 저하되고 시공 과정이 복잡하며 공기가 길어져 공사비가 증가하는 등의 단점이 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하는 방법 중 하나가 유동성 채움재를 활용하는 것이다. 유동성 채움재는 자기 수평능력, 자기다짐, 유동성, 인위적인 강도조절, 유지보수를 위한 재굴착이 가능한 저강도 발현 등의 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 지하매설물을 설치한 후 되메움을 하는 재료로서 해양점토와 고화재 및 현장에서 발생하는 현장토를 활용한 유동성 채움재의 특성을 규명하기 위하여 일축압축강도 시험과 유동성 시험을 수행하였으며, 동결에 의한 강도 특성을 파악하기 위하여 동결융해시험을 수행하였고 채움재가 지중배관의 부식에 미치는 영향을 검토하기 위하여 전기비저항시험과 pH시험을 수행하였다.

The abatement of methane emission from ruminants is an important global issue due to its contribution to greenhouse gas with carbon dioxide. Methane is generated in the rumen by methanogens (archaea) that utilize metabolic hydrogen ($H_2$) to reduce carbon dioxide, and is a significant electron sink in the rumen ecosystem. Therefore, the competition for hydrogen used for methanogenesis with alternative reductions of rumen microbes should be an effective option to reduce rumen methanogenesis. Some methanogens parasitically survive on the surface of ciliate protozoa, so that defaunation or decrease in protozoa number might contribute to abate methanogenesis. The most important issue for mitigation of rumen methanogenesis with manipulators is to secure safety for animals and their products and the environment. In this respect, prophylactic effects of probiotics, prebiotics and miscellaneous compounds to mitigate rumen methanogenesis have been developed instead of antibiotics, ionophores such as monensin, and lasalocid in Japan. Nitrate suppresses rumen methanogenesis by its reducing reaction in the rumen. However, excess intake of nitrate causes intoxication due to nitrite accumulation, which induces methemoglobinemia. The nitrite accumulation is attributed to a relatively higher rate of nitrate reduction to nitrite than nitrite to ammonia via nitroxyl and hydroxylamine. The in vitro and in vivo trials have been conducted to clarify the prophylactic effects of L-cysteine, some strains of lactic acid bacteria and yeast and/or ${\beta}$1-4 galactooligosaccharide on nitrate-nitrite intoxication and methanogenesis. The administration of nitrate with ${\beta}$1-4 galacto-oligosaccharide, Candida kefyr, and Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis were suggested to possibly control rumen methanogenesis and prevent nitrite formation in the rumen. For prebiotics, nisin which is a bacteriocin produced by Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis has been demonstrated to abate rumen methanogenesis in the same manner as monensin. A protein resistant anti-microbe (PRA) has been isolated from Lactobacillus plantarum as a manipulator to mitigate rumen methanogenesis. Recently, hydrogen peroxide was identified as a part of the manipulating effect of PRA on rumen methanogenesis. The suppressing effects of secondary metabolites from plants such as saponin and tannin on rumen methanogenesis have been examined. Especially, yucca schidigera extract, sarsaponin (steroidal glycosides), can suppress rumen methanogenesis thereby improving protein utilization efficiency. The cashew nutshell liquid (CNSL), or cashew shell oil, which is a natural resin found in the honeycomb structure of the cashew nutshell has been found to mitigate rumen methanogenesis. In an attempt to seek manipulators in the section on methane belching from ruminants, the arrangement of an inventory of mitigation technologies available for the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and Joint Implementation (JI) in the Kyoto mechanism has been advancing to target ruminant livestock in Asian and Pacific regions.

The effects and significance of ${\gamma}$-amino butyric acid (GABA) producing bacteria (GPB) on in vitro rumen fermentation and reduction of biogenic amines (histamine, methylamine, ethylamine, and tyramine) using corn meal as a substrate were determined. Ruminal samples collected from ruminally fistulated Holstein cows served as inoculum and corn was used as substrate at 2% dry matter (DM). Different inclusion rates of GPB and GABA were evaluated. After incubation, addition of GPB had no significant effect on in vitro fermentation pH and total gas production, but significantly increased the ammonia nitrogen ($NH_3$-N) concentration and reduced the total biogenic amines production (p<0.05). Furthermore, antioxidation activity was improved as indicated by the significantly higher concentration of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) among treated samples when compared to the control (p<0.05). Additionally, 0.2% GPB was established as the optimum inclusion level. Taken together, these results suggest the potential of utilizing GPB as feed additives to improve growth performance in ruminants by reducing biogenic amines and increasing anti-oxidation.

In this study, $Cl_2/BCI_3$ magnetized inductively coupled plasmas (MICP) were used to etch GaN and the effects of magnetic confinements of inductively coupled plasmas on the GaN etch characteristics were investigated as a function of $Cl_2/BCI_3$. Also, the effects of Kr addition to the magnetized $Cl_2/BCI_3$ plasmas on the GaN etch rates were investigated. The characteristics of the plasmas were estimated using a Langmuir probe and quadrupole ma~s spectrometry (QMS). Etched GaN profiles were observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The small addition of $Cl_2/BCI_3$ (10-20%) in $Cl_2$ increased GaN etch rates for both with and without the magnetic confinements. The application of magnetic confinements to the $Cl_2/BCI_3$ inductively coupled plasmas (ICP) increased GaN etch rates and changed the $Cl_2/BCI_3$ gas composition of the peak GaN etch rate from 10% $BCI_3$ to 20% $BCI_3$. It also increased the etch selectivity over photoresist, while slightly reducing the selectivity over $Si0_2$. The application of the magnetic field significantly increased positive $BCI_2{\;}^+$ measured by QMS and total ion saturation current measured by the Langmuir probe. Other species such as CI, BCI, and CI+ were increased while species such as $BCl_2$ and $BCI_3$ were decreased with the application of the magnetic field. Therefore, it appears that the increase of GaN etch rate in our experiment is related to the increased dissociative ionization of $BCI_3$ by the application of the magnetic field. The addition of 10% Kr in an optimized $Cl_2/BCI_3$ condition (80% $Cl_2/$ 20% $BCI_3$) with the magnets increased the GaN etch rate about 60%. More anisotropic GaN etch profile was obtained with the application of the magnetic field and a vertical GaN etch profile could be obtained with the addition of 10% Kr in an optimized $Cl_2/BCI_3$ condition with the magnets.

본 연구는 선박에서 배출되는 배기가스의 농도 측정, 연소효율 평가와 국제해사기구에서 권장하는 인덱싱 방법의 검토를 통해 이산화탄소 규제관련 대응전략 수립을 위한 기초자료 확보에 목적을 둔다. 평가된 평균 연소효율은 새 엔진의 경우 98%, 신조선의 경우 96.5%로 조사되었다. 연소효율은 엔진 및 선박의 노후로 점점 감소할 것으로 예상되며, 연소효율이 높으면 배기가스 중에 이산화탄소의 농도가 증가하고 연소효율이 낮으면 불완전연소 생성물의 방출이 증가되기 때문에 문제가 된다. 유해 오염물질을 방출하지 않고 가장 효율적으로 이산화탄소를 제어하기 위해 연료 대체, 연료 저소모 엔진 개발 및 경제적 선속 유지를 위한 해운사간 협조가 필요할 것이다. 국제해사기구의 인덱싱 방법을 검토한 결과, 보다 실제에 가까운 이산화탄소 배출량을 산출하기 위해서는 사용 연료의 탄소 함량을 조사하고 국제해사기구의 권장 수치와 비교하여 지수화 작업을 진행하는 것이 바람직한 것으로 나타났다.
