Refuse collection, one of important elements in reverse logistics, is an activity rendering recyclables or wastes and moving them to some points where further treatment is required. Among various decisions in the collection activity, we focus on network design, which is the problem of locating collection points as well as allocating refuses at demand points to collection points while satisfying the capacity restriction at each collection point. Here, the collection point is the place where recyclables or wastes near the point are gathered, and locating the collection points is done by selecting them from a given set of potential sites. The objective is to minimize the sum of fixed costs to open collection points and transportation costs to move refuses from demand points to collection points. An integer programming model is developed to represent the problem mathematically and due to the complexity of the problem, two types of heuristics, one with simultaneous and the others with separate location and allocation, are suggested. Computational experiments were done on test problems up to 500 potential sites, and the results are reported. In particular, some heuristics gave near optimal solutions for small-size test problems, i.e., 2% gaps in average from the optimal solution values.

Particle collection characteristics of the MOUDI cascade impactor has been studied for coarse particles in the range of 2 to 20$mu extrm{m}$ in aerodynamic diameter. A vibrating orifice aerosol generator was empolyed to generate monodisperse test aerosols. The oleic acid and sodium chloride(NaCl) particles were used as test aerosols. Aluminum foil and Teflon filter were selected as impaction media. The sampling flow rate was changed from 25 to 35L/min. Particle collection efficiency for single stage was examined for liquid particles. The stage response was obtained experimentally for the cascade impactor composed of three stages and a backup filter. The results showed that most of particle collection efficiencies measured in this work are similar to the efficiency curves obtained by Marple et al.(1991). For particles less than cut-off size of the stage, the collection efficiencies of solid particles are similar to those of loquid particles. However, the collection efficiency of solid particles decreases with mereasing particle diameter for the particles greater than the actual cut-off size of the impactor. The particle collection efficiency increases with increasing sampling flow rate at the same particel size. However, the collection efficiency curves seem not to be greatly shifted with the flow rate. The stage responses obtained by direct measurements in this work are in good agreement with those derived from the collection efficiency curves for single stage.

Refuse collection network design, one of major decision problems in reverse logistics, is the problem of locating collection points and allocating refuses at demand points to the opened collection points. As an extension of the previous models, we consider capacity and maximum allowable distance constraints at each collection point. In particular, the maximum allowable distance constraint is additionally considered to avoid the impractical solutions in which collection points are located too closely. Also, the additional distance constraint represents the physical distance limit between collection and demand points. The objective is to minimize the sum of fixed costs to open collection points and variable costs to transport refuses from demand to collection points. After formulating the problem as an integer programming model, we suggest an optimal branch and bound algorithm that generates all feasible solutions by a simultaneous location and allocation method and curtails the dominated ones using the lower bounds developed using the relaxation technique. Also, due to the limited applications of the optimal algorithm, we suggest two heuristics. To test the performances of the algorithms, computational experiments were done on a number of test instances, and the results are reported.

Object: In the present study, we compared the positive cytodiagnostic test rates with discrepancies using self-collection devices for cervical cancer screening. We made this survey to examine whether or not our self-smear preparation method using the Kato self-collection device contributed to an improved rate of detecting atypical cells compared with existing recommended preparation methods. Methods: Specimens were collected at 14 facilities handling self-collection methods, and samples were collected by a physician in 2 facilities. The chisquared test was performed using the SPSS ver. 20 statistical software to determine the relationships between the positive cytodiagnostic rate, specimen preparation methods, and self-collection devices. Results: Collecting cells using the Kato self-collection device and preparing liquid-based specimens, we obtained a significantly higher rate of positive cytodiagnosis and our results were equal to those obtained with the direct method. Conclusions: Taking into consideration increased needs for screening using the self-collection method in future, with even more improved test accuracy, a screening test that is acceptable to society needs to be established.

It has been reported that destruction test by core collection is the most reliable of the structural concrete strength in present building construction field. But it causes low efficiency by damage and cutting in structure due to the core collection. It also has some problems in repairing. Additionally in case of strength test with management specimen, different environment compared to the structure environment cause problems about estimation precise structure strength. Therefore, it is required to develop structure direct strength test that has test values and credibility above the ones obtained by core specimen collection strength test and seasonal specimen test to suggest a reasonable and practical management method of structural concrete.

본 연구는 기저귀 재활용을 정책적으로 도입하고자 할 때 최적의 수거방안을 마련하고자 어린이집이 밀집된 지방자치단체와 수거 시범사업을 수행함으로써 수거에 따른 문제점을 파악하고 개선점을 도출해 보고자 하였다. 모니터링 결과 배출방식에 대한 명확한 안내와 배출량에 대한 면밀한 분석이 필요하고 언론홍보를 통한 기저귀 재활용의 중요성에 대한 교육적 역할이 중요하다는 점이 도출되었다. 또한 시범사업 참여자에게 인센티브 제공이 필요하며, 수거 인프라 관련 비용은 공공영역에서 부담해야 한다고 생각하고 있었다. 수거 비용 관련해서 본 시범운영에서는 기저귀 수거만 전문으로 할 수 있는 여건이 형성되지 않았기 때문에 경제성이 있는 수거비용이 산출되지 않았으나 향후 본 제도를 활성화하기 위해 수도권으로 확대할 경우 주 2회 빈도에 고효율 수집차량을 운행하면서 수거율 50% 수준의 수거모델을 운영한다면, 현행 음식물 쓰레기 처리비용 수준이하의 수거 비용을 확보하여 경제적 측면에서 효율적일 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 충분한 수거량 확보를 통한 안정적인 수거모델 구축과 함께 재활용 기술 개발이 진행된다면 기저귀 재활용을 통한 지속가능한 사회 구축에 한발 더 근접할 수 있을 것이다.

검색 시스템들의 평가를 위해 국내에서도 테스트 컬렉션에 관한 여러 연구가 진행되어왔다. 그러나 그 규모나 대상 분야가 편중되어 있고 질의 및 문헌 특성의 균형 등에 대한 고려가 반영되어 있지 않아 평가 결과를 객관화하기는 사실상 어려운 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 분야별, 사용자별 균형을 고려한 대규모 테스트 컬렉션인 HANTEC에 대해 기술한다. HANTEC 테스트 컬렉션은 총 12만 건의 문헌집합으로 구성되었는데 일반, 사회과학, 과학기술 각 분야별 4만 건씩으로 특정 분야에 편중되지 않도록 하였고 질의집합도 각 분야별 10개씩 30개로 구성하였다.

정보검색에 대한 연구를 위해 테스트 컬렉션은 필수적인 요소로 인식되어 왔다. 외국의 경우, 다양한 테스트 컬렉션들이 개발되어 정보 검색에 대한 연구에 이용되어 왔다. 그러나 국내의 경우, 최근에 한글 정보 검색에 대한 관심이 확산되었음에도 불구하고 정보 검색용 테스트 컬렉션에 대한 부족으로 인하여 한글 정보 검색에 대한 연구에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 본 연구에서는 연구개발정보센터 소유의 KRIST 데이타베이스를 기반으로 하여 개발된 KRIST 테스트 컬렉션에 대하여 기술한다. KRIST 테스트 컬렉션은 과기처 연구보고서에 대한 서지 레코드 13, 515건과 30개의 자연어 질의 그리고 각 질의에 대한 적합 문헌리스트로 구성된다.

Along with dust collection efficiency, pressure loss is a very important cyclone operation factor. A severe rise in pressure loss causes the problem of cost. To solve the problem, the method connecting axial-vane type cyclones in parallel is suggested recently. The axial vane type cyclone dust collector applied in this study is a small portable type. Multiple cyclones are installed in a round type. The basic performance test on the axial vane type cyclone dust collector was conducted. As a result, the cut size reduced along with a rise in the wind velocity of the cyclone dust collector inlet. According to the test on dust collection efficiency, the effect of dust collection began to appear in the range of 3㎛ and dust collection efficiency was greatly improved at 5 ㎛. The noise of the cyclone dust collector well met the fan sound power level of KSB 6361.
