Purpose : In evaluation of patients, laboratory results are crucial in determination of a treatment plan. Obtaining venous blood from infants and children is a difficult procedure. Substitution of a capillary blood sample for a venous blood sample has been suggested. However, there are few studies showing mutual correlation between C-reactive protein (CRP) results in capillary and venous blood. This study was designed to determine whether the result of the capillary sample is the same as the result of the venous blood sample. Methods : After informed consent, a pair of venous and fingertip capillary blood samples were simultaneously collected from 100 children. The LC-178CRPTM was used for analysis of capillary blood and the Hitachi 7180 automatic hematology analyzer was used for analysis of venous blood. We compared CRP of both venous and capillary blood samples. Results were analyzed by crosstabulation analysis, simple regression analysis and the Bland Altman Plot method. Results : A close correlation (90.63%) was observed between capillary and venous blood analyzed by crosstabulation analysis. CRP results were similar between the two groups and showed a high coefficient correlation ($\beta$=1.3434, $R^2$=0.9888, P<0.0001) when analyzed by a simple regression model. The average value in venous blood was also higher compared to capillary blood. According to Bland Altman Plot analysis, lab results were measured at a 95% confidence interval. Conclusion : CRP results from capillary blood showed close correlation with venous blood sampling. At present, venous blood sampling is the preferred method. However, due to difficulty in venous blood sampling, capillary sampling could be considered as an alternative technique for use with children.

Recently, advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) has been recognized as a core technology of smart water grid, and the relevant market is growing constantly. In this study, we developed all-in-one smart water meter of the AMI system, which was installed on the test-bed to verify both effectiveness and field applicability in office building water usage. Developed 15 mm-diameter smart water meter is a magneto-resistive digital meter, and measures flow rate and water quality parameters (temperature, conductivity) simultaneously. As a result of the water usage analysis by installing six smart water meters on various purposes in office building water usage, the water usage in shower room showed the highest values as the 1,870 L/day and 26.6 liter per capita day (LPCD). But, the water usage in laboratory was irregular, depending on the many variables. From the analysis of the water usage based on day of the week, the water usage on Monday showed the highest value, and tended to decrease toward the weekend. According to the PCA results and multivariate statistical approaches, the shower room (Group 3) and 2 floor man's restroom sink (Group 1-3) have been classified as a separate group, and the others did not show a significant difference in both water use and water quality aspects. From the analysis of water usage measured in this study, the leak or water quality accident did not occur. Consequently, all-in-one smart water meter developed in this study can measure flow rate and water quality parameters (temperature, conductivity) simultaneously with effective field applicability in office building water usage.

The purpose of study was to improve the storage time of breads with spices. The quality of breads with garlic, ginger and cinnamon powder containing 1 % concentration were investigated using sensory and mechanical evaluation. For 14 days, total microbial count and chemical properties were analyzed at 18$^{\circ}C$. The result of sensory evaluation was not significantly different between control and breads with spices powder. But breads with spices powder were significantly higher than control in texture and acceptability. Especially, bread with cinnamon powder was most favorable in acceptability. The result of total microbial count showed that breads with spices powder were reduced with storing time passed and bread with cinnamon powder was most reduced in breads with spices powder. ks storing time passed, moisture contents and pH range were decreased and L, a and b value were decreased in all breads. Hardness, gumminess and brittleness of torture analysis were increased as storing time passed, but springiness and cohesiveness were decreased. A negative correlation was observed between the sensory and mechanical properties in general. Sensory Properties of springiness and swelling were positively correlated with the acceptability. In the analysis of correlation between the chemical and mechanical properties showed that lightness of mechanical properties had positive correlation with pH range and moisture contents. Moisture contents of chemical properties had negative correlation with hardness, but had positive correlation with cohesiveness of mechanical properties.

The purpose of this study is to utilize conventional procedures for evaluation of liquefaction potential and to compare the results obtained by modified detailed method based on Korean earthquake magnitude (M=6.5). Liquefaction potential is assessed by comparing liquefaction strength of soil and cyclic shear stress generated in the soil layers during earthquakes. The cyclic shear stress is computed from the earthquake response analysis, and liquefaction strength of soil is evaluated by using results from cyclic triaxial tests. The cyclic triaxial tests are performed on many different conditions of sample ; relative densities(50%, 60%, and 70%), initial effective confining pressures (70kPa, 100kPa, and 150kPa), and fine contents(10%, 20%, and 30%). From the result of comparing the conventional procedure with the modified detailed method, it is found that the modified detailed method tends to evaluate larger safety factor against liquefaction in the weak sand site$(FS \leq1.5)$. Therefore in this case, it is suggested that liquefaction potential should be evaluated by using the modified detailed method based on cyclic triaxial tests. It is also found that in modified detailed method based on earthquake magnitude 6.5, critical depth where liquefaction can be generated is around 15m from the ground surface.

This study evaluated CO₂ removal efficiency, monitoring data analysis / evaluation efficiency and energy reduction efficiency in the liquor factory by L-alanine applied scrubber. The average removal rate of the scrubber was 90.45%, and it was confirmed that the removal efficiency was excellent above 10,000ppm of inlet CO₂ concentration. After the scrubber operation, the CO₂ concentration in the workplace was maintained under 2,000ppm(the carbon dioxide reduction efficiency was about 74%). and the energy saving efficiency was calculated to 7.26% by reducing the power consumption. As a result of applying the developed product, it was possible to improve the working environment of workers by reducing the carbon dioxide concentration in the workplace at low concentration without ventilation, and to reduce the energy consumption. Therefore, it is expected that the scrubber will be useful as a high CO₂ removal process in food and liquor factories.
