How to compare the environmental damage caused by vehicles with different foe]s and drive trains\ulcorner This paper describes a methodology to assess the environmental impact of vehicles, using different approaches, and evaluating their benefits and limitations. Rating systems are analysed as tools to compare the environmental impact of vehicles, allowing decision makers to dedicate their financial and non-financial policies and support measures in function of the ecological damage. The paper is based on the "Clean Vehicles" research project, commissioned by the Brussels Capital Region via the BIM-IBGE (Brussels Institute for the Conservation of the Environment) (Van Mierlo et at., 2001). The VriJe Universiteit Brussel (ETEC) and the universite Libre do Bruxelles (CEESE) have jointly carried out the workprogramme. The most important results of this project are illustrated in this paper. First an overview of environmental, economical and technical characteristics of the different alternative fuels and drive trains is given. Afterward the basic principles to identify the environmental impact of cars are described. An outline of the considered emissions and their environmental impact leads to the definition of the calculation method, named Ecoscore. A rather simple and pragmatic approach would be stating that all alternative fuelled vehicles (LPG, CNG, EV, HEV, etc.) can be considered as ′clean′. Another basic approach is considering as ′clean′ all vehicles satisfying a stringent omission regulation like EURO IV or EEV. Such approaches however don′t tell anything about the real environmental damage of the vehicles. In the paper we describe "how should the environmental impact of vehicles be defined\ulcorner", including parameters affecting the emissions of vehicles and their influence on human beings and on the environment and "how could it be defined \ulcorner", taking into account the availability of accurate and reliable data. We take into account different damages (acid rain, photochemical air pollution, global warming. noise, etc.) and their impacts on several receptors like human beings (e.g., cancer, respiratory diseases, etc), ecosystems, or buildings. The presented methodology is based on a kind of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in which the contribution of all emissions to a certain damage are considered (e.g. using Exposure-Response damage function). The emissions will include oil extraction, transportation refinery, electricity production, distribution, (Well-to-Wheel approach), as well as the emission due to the production, use and dismantling of the vehicle (Cradle-to-Grave approach). The different damages will be normalized to be able to make a comparison. Hence a reference value (determined by the reference vehicle chosen) will be defined as a target value (the normalized value will thus measure a kind of Distance to Target). The contribution of the different normalized damages to a single value "Ecoscore" will be based on a panel weighting method. Some examples of the calculation of the Ecoscore for different alternative fuels and drive trains will be calculated as an illustration of the methodology.

건설공사의 특성상 공사중 설계변경이 불가피한 경우가 많다. 문제는 설계변경의 양과 정도에 따라 작업생산성 저하를 초래 할 수 있다는 것인데, 이를 설계변경의 파급효과(Ripple effect) 또는 누적영향(Cumulative impact)이라 한다. 미국과 달리 국내의 경우 설계변경의 영향에 대한 연구를 찾아보기 힘든 것이 사실이다. 본 연구는 공공공사 설계변경의 현황과 그 영향을 조사하기 위하여 1991년도부터 2004년도까지 수행된 14개 공공기관의 공사비 100억 이상 공사 1439건의 설계변경 데이터를 수집, 분석하였다. 국내 공공공사 설계변경의 특성을 파악하기 위하여 평균낙찰률, 설계변경규모, 설계변경횟수, 설계변경금액 등을 분석하였으며, 설계변경이 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위하여 변경률(%CO), 손실률(%Delta), 지연률(%T) 등의 개념을 정립하였다. 개발된 변경률, 손실률, 지연률 등의 개념을 수집된 설계변경 자료에 적용 사례조사를 하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 낙찰률과 설계변경량의 관계, 설계변경횟수와 공사지연간의 관계, 공기지연과 손실률간의 관계, 설계변경량과 손실률간의 관계를 도출하였다. 결과적으로 설계변경횟수가 많아질수록 공기가 더욱 지연될 수 있으며, 지연된 공기는 더 많은 손실을 발생시킬 수 있음이 증명 되였다. 또한 설계변경의 양이 많아질수록 손실량도 증가하며 서로간 강한 상관관계가 있음을 발견하였다. 본 연구에서 도출된 관계식들은 공사금액을 바탕으로 개발되었기에 프로젝트의 생산성손실 분석을 위한 직접적인 적용은 어렵다. 하지만 향후 국내 주요건설사들이 추진하고 있는 작업일보시스템에 작업시간(Man-hour)기반의 생산성 자료들이 축척되면 추후 그 데이터를 바탕으로 국내 환경에 적합한 생산성측정모델 구축이 가능하리라 판단된다. 아울러, 공사중 작업생산성 관련 자료의 관리를 선진화 하고, 그 신빙성을 높이는 일은 우리 건설계 모두의 노력이 필요하리라 사료된다.

Purpose: The purpose was to identify the influence the quality of head and clinical nurses' LMX (Leader-Member Exchange) on job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Methods: The participants were 42 head nurses and 202 clinical nurses who worked in 7 hospitals with more than 300 beds in I-city. The data were collected from March 10 to April 10, 2013 using a self-report questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using hierarchical regression with the SPSS/WIN 20.0 program. Results: The mean score for head nurses' LMX quality was 3.66 and for clinical nurses, 3.51. Clinical nurses' LMX quality and age had a positive impact on job satisfaction (F=8.00, p<.001). Clinical nurses' LMX quality and marriage (not single) had a positive impact on organizational commitment (F=6.76, p<.001). Conclusion: The LMX quality of head nurse was higher than that of clinical nurses, but did not positively affect clinical nurses' job satisfaction or organizational commitment indicating that the LMX quality of clinical nurses is more important than that of head nurse. Thus head nurses should make efforts to lead their units or teams in a positive and friendly way. This positive recognition will promote greater job satisfaction and organizational commitment of clinical nurses.

A 70-${\AA}$ nanowire field-effect transistor (FET) for sub-10-nm CMOS technology is designed and simulated in order to investigate the impact of an oxide trap on random telegraph noise (RTN) in the device. It is observed that the drain current fluctuation (${\Delta}I_D/I_D$) increases up to a maximum of 78 % due to the single electron trapping. In addition, the effect of various trap positions on the RTN in the nanowire FET is thoroughly analyzed at various drain and gate voltages. As the drain voltage increases, the peak point for the ${\Delta}I_D/I_D$ shifts toward the source side. The distortion in the electron carrier density and the conduction band energy when the trap is filled with an electron at various positions in the device supports these results.

Tungsten (W) is recently gaining attention as a potential candidate to replace Cu in semiconductor metallization due to its expected improvement in material reliability and reduced resistivity size effect. In this study, the impact of electron scattering at grain boundaries in a polycrystalline W thin film was investigated. Two nominally 300 nm-thick films, a (110)-oriented single crystal film and a (110)-textured polycrystalline W film, were prepared onto (11-20) Al2O3 substrate and thermally oxidized Si substrate, respectively in identical fabrication conditions. The lateral grain size for the polycrystalline film was determined to be $119{\pm}7nm$ by TEM-based orientation mapping technique. The film thickness was chosen to significantly exceed the electron mean free path in W (16.1 and 77.7 nm at 293 and 4.2 K, respectively), which allows the impact of surface scattering on film resistivity to be negligible. Then, the difference in the resistivity of the two films can be attributed to grain boundary scattering. quantitative analyses were performed by employing the Mayadas-Shatzkes (MS) model, where the grain boundary reflection coefficient was determined to be $0.42{\pm}0.02$ and $0.40{\pm}0.02$ at 293 K and 4.2 K, respectively.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of radiotherapy on mandibular bone tissue in head and neck cancer patients through an analysis of pixel intensity and fractal dimension values on digital panoramic radiographs. Materials and Methods: Thirty patients with radiographic records from before and after 3-dimensional (3D) conformational radiotherapy were selected. A single examiner carried out digital analyses of pixel intensity values and fractal dimensions, with the areas of interest unilaterally located in the right angle medullary region of the mandible below the mandibular canal and posterior to the molar region. Results: Statistically significant decreases were observed in the mean pixel intensity (P=0.0368) and fractal dimension (P=0.0495) values after radiotherapy. Conclusion: The results suggest that 3D conformational radiotherapy for head and neck cancer negatively affected the trabecular microarchitecture and mandibular bone mass.

Since 1970's rapid urbanization and economic growth, the population was highly increased and residential type was changed from single detached house to high density and high-rise apartment. Recently more high-rise residential building generates more traffic volumes and it makes spatial concentration. The highly traffic volumed road and high residential building was constructed nearby, it occurs noise problem. The purpose of this study is comparing the performance of three type noise barrier between noise source and receiver using a noise map simulation. Three types were composed as road side planting trees, building side planting trees and noise barrier wall. Planting trees is less effective than noise barrier wall as a noise barrier. And they are all effective under 3 stories than over 5 stories, especially noise barrier function can't work over 5 stories.
