This study focusses on how the skirt or slacks wearing habit affects the female physiology in her daily life. The healthy female college students have been trained to wear either skirt (group A) or slacks (group B) from late August to early January in order to study the effects of clothing habit on thermoregulatory responses. Also, the themoregulatory responses have been compared the healthy students groups with a physical trained students group (group C) to examine the effects of clothing habit. The changes in body temperatures of students have been studied under the cool environmental condition (15$\pm$1$^{\circ}C$, 60$\pm$5% RH, 0.25 m/sec). The results were as follows: 1. Rectal temperature of the group A was 0.4$^{\circ}C$ lower at 36.9$^{\circ}C$ than that of the group B The groups A and B were found identical before the training, while the groups A and C were identical after the training. 2. Mean skin temperature of the group A was 1.2$^{\circ}C$ lower than that of the group B. The groups A and C were identical after the training. 3. The thermal sensation was reflected to be cool by the group A and to be cold by the group B. As for the humidity sensation, the group A felt average, whereas the group B reported between average and slightly humid. In the case of comfort sensation, the group A felt average, while the group B felt between average and slightly uncomfortable. In summary, the 18 weeks of training has provided the skirt group an improved acclimatization to the cold environment . This group also showed an insulative-hypothermic adapta lion in a cold ambient temperature, as was the case for the physical trained group. It is concluded that wearing a skirt for a long period of time can be helpful to human body through gaining of thermoregulatory abilities.

This study establishes basic data for the development of a new Chemical, Biological, and Radioactive (CBR) protective clothing by selecting the ventilation position to optimize thermal comfort on the basis of the opening and closing of each part. Participants were eight men in their 20s who had previously worn CBR protective clothing. After vigorous exercise and perspiration, the microclimate of the clothing and skin temperature was measured. Results revealed that when the ventilation zipper was opened after exercising, the skin and clothing microclimate temperatures, which had increased during the exercise, decreased in the chest and shoulder blade regions. The clothing microclimate humidity decreased in the chest area. The change was greatest in the chest region; the skin temperature decreased by 0.2℃, the clothing microclimate temperature by 2.7℃, and the clothing microclimate humidity by 3.2%RH through ventilation. Thus, the opening that allows the exchange of accumulated heat and moisture while wearing the CBR protective clothing is efficient.

The environmental control based on interactive thermoregulatory behavior for swine production has many advantages over the conventional temperature-based control methods. Therefore, this study was conducted to compare various feature selection methods using postural images of growing pigs under various environmental conditions. A color CCD camera was used to capture the behavioral images which were then modified to binary images. The binary images were processed by thresholding, edge detection, and thinning techniques to separate the pigs from their background. Following feature were used for the input patterns to the neural network ; \circled1 perimeter, \circled2 area, \circled3 Fourier coefficients (5$\times$5), \circled4 combination of (\circled1 ＋ \circled2), \circled5 combination of (\circled1 ＋ \circled3), \circled6 combination of (\circled2 ＋ \circled3), and \circled7 combination of (\circled1 ＋ \circled2 ＋ \circled3). Using the above each input pattern, the neural network could classify training images with the success rates of 96%, 96%, 96%, 100%, 100%, 96%, 100%, and testing images with those of 88%, 86%, 93%, 96%, 91%, 90%, 98%, respectively. Thus, the combination of perimeter, area and Fourier coefficients of the thinning images as neural network features gave the best performance (98%) in the behavioral classification.

Dynamic pricing refers to a system in which a tariff varies, according to a level of charging and applied time depending on time change. The power billing system used in the Korean Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) is based on time of use (TOU) pricing, which is one of the dynamic pricing systems. This paper aimed to determine the operational results of a variable refrigerant flow system, to which a new control algorithm was applied, in order to respond to dynamic pricing, in summer and the utility of the new control. To do this, real measured data was acquired from a VRF system installed in a building for educational purposes, where dynamic pricing was applied for about 100 days during summer time. At the maximum load operation time period in TOU, the new control minimized operation within the indoor comfort range, an increase in refrigerant evaporation temperature in the indoor unit and the number of revolutions in a compressor in the outdoor unit was limited. As a result, power usage was decreased by 11%, and the operational cost by 14.6%. Furthermore, measurement results using the Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) model, that represented satisfaction of thermal environment, showed that 82.8% to 90.4% of the occupants of the building were satisfied during operation when the new control was applied.

This study analyzed the effect of wearing a vest with an attached electric fan. Korean men in their 20s were given test "fan vests" equipped with fans on the chest, stomach, upper back, or lower back to wear. Participants wore them in a climate chamber set to replicate a summer environment (30±3℃, 75±1%RH, 0.2 m/sec). Subjective sensations and surface temperatures were measured. The attached fan on the front of the vest lowered the temperature of the vest and the skin surface where the fan was positioned, regardless of whether the wearer engaged in exercise. However, a fan attached to the lower back of the vest was effective in lowering the lower back of the vest as well as the upper back, back of the arm, and back of the neck. In addition, subjective evaluations indicated that a vest with fans attached to the stomach and lower back provided a cool sensation. However, it was confirmed that the design of an auxiliary tool capable of dispersing the weight is necessary since the weight of the fans can interfere with the comfort of wearing the vest.

The objective of this paper is to find out the most effective injection angle for the purpose of deicing through SC/Tetra, a commonly used CFD software. Nowadays, vehicles are developed giving priority to an improved interior which emphasizes a pleasant environment and thermal comfort without decreasing the basic performance. Clear visibility is one of the most important phenomenon. The primary factors which affect the efficiency of deicing are 3D geometry of Defrost Nozzle, the inlet velocity and temperature of the flow and the injection angle. However in this paper, all these parameters are optimized by changing the injection angle. A wide range of injection angle from 5 degree to 50 degree have been considered for analysis. A very good defrosting performance has been achieved with 45 degree injection angle which can satisfy the condition of NHTSA.

본 연구에서는 다양한 실내 온열환경 및 조도에서 재실자가 느끼는 조명에 대한 감성의 변화와 작업의 종류에 따라 생체신호를 분석하여 업무에 미치는 영향에 대해 살펴보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 실내 온열환경은 PMV(predicted mean vote) 지표 값을 기반으로 환경을 구성하였고, 조명환경은 LED광원을 이용한 스탠드를 통해 조명의 밝기에 변화를 주어 다양한 실내 환경을 구성하고 실험을 진행하였다. 주어진 환경에서 설문지를 통해 조명에 대한 감성을 평가하고 종류가 다른 오류검색수정 작업을 진행하면서 뇌파와 심전도를 측정하여 변화를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 작업의 종류에 대한 모든 생체신호는 온열환경의 변화와 유의적인 차이를 보였으며, PMV 지표 값이 0.8(온도: $25^{\circ}C$, 습도: 50 %)일 경우 집중력 및 주의력이 가장 활성화 되었다. 하지만, 조도의 변화에는 대체적으로 유의적인 차이는 보이지 않았다. 따라서 재실자의 업무 능력에 미치는 집중력은 온열환경과 밀접함을 확인할 수 있다. 또한, 조명에 대한 주관적인 감성은 조도가 낮을수록 편안함을 느꼈으며, 조도가 높을수록 불편함을 느꼈다. 하지만 온열환경의 변화에는 유의적인 차이가 없었다.

본 연구는 구성 요소가 다른 제주시 주차장 6곳에서 실측한 미기후 자료와 포장 알베도·수목 요소를 달리한 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해 여름철 인간 열환경을 분석하고 저감 방안을 제안하는 데 목적을 둔다. 실측한 경우, 알베도로 인한 결과는 유의성이 없었으나 양지와 음지의 차이는 유의성을 보였다. 양지는 PET가 '매우 더움' 단계였으나, 음지는 2단계 낮은 '따뜻함' 단계로 나타났고, UTCI 역시 양지가 '매우 강한 열 스트레스' 단계인 반면 음지는 1단계 낮은 '강한 열 스트레스' 단계를 보이며, 태양 복사에너지의 유입을 줄이는 교목의 역할을 확인할 수 있었다. 시뮬레이션 결과도 실측된 알베도 값을 사용했기 때문에 실측 결과와 유사하게 시나리오 간 차이는 크지 않았다. 수목의 경우, 수관폭이 넓고, 엽면적지수가 높으며, 식재 간격이 좁은 시나리오가 인간 열환경을 저감하는 데 효과적이었고, 수고에 따른 차이는 각 시나리오별 상이한 결과를 보였다. 가장 낮은 PET 값을 보인 시나리오는 H9W9L3D8(수고 9m, 수관폭 9m, 엽면적지수 3.0, 식재 간격 8m)로, 현재 조성된 시나리오와 비교했을 때 PET 0.7단계 하락한 것으로 나타났다. 이로써 조경 요소 중 바닥 포장보다는 교목이 여름철 인간 열환경에 주는 영향이 크다는 점을 확인할 수 있었다.
