After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the Kra-Araks Basin (KAB) became an international river basin with respect to the South Caucasus states of Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia. However, there are no agreements regarding water allocation, water quality, or ecosystem maintenance among the aforementioned riparians. The main water problems in the basin include not only water quantity and quality, but also the lack of joint management. The aforementioned countries share many similar circumstances: location in a politically unstable but strategic region bureaucratic and structural issues; and more importantly, ongoing ethnic and related conflicts. Despite these obstacles, the countries recognize that they depend greatly on the basin, whose waters they must share. To that end, they proposed and participated in the joint NATO-OSCE South Caucasus River Monitoring (SCRMP) project between 2002 and 2009.The SCRMP sought to investigate and characterize the surface water quality in the KAB by providing equipment and training to all three countries. Several years' worth of water quality data were collected in the KAB: major ions; heavy metals; POPs (persistent organic pollutants); and radionuclides; The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (primary funder) and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europesupported the SCRMP not only to build capacity but also to promote cooperation and minimize conflict over water and other resources, thus providing a measure of security for Europe and other regions. The South Caucasus is a strategically-important region, functioning as a bridge between Asia and Europe. Energy-rich Azerbaijan seeks to become a key player in trade by serving as a transportation and energy hub between the energy and mineral-rich Central Asian KUT countries (Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan) and Western Asia, Europe, and other areas. The presentation will summarize the scientific results of the SCRMP, elucidate the regional water-energy-security nexus, discuss future work in the region, and explain why the world needs to be concerned about the KAB and the entire South Caucasus.

본 연구에서는 KS C 9306에 따른 난방 제상능력 시험조건(건구온도 $2^{\circ}C$/습구온도 $1^{\circ}C$)에서 확대모형이 아닌 실제 열교환기의 전방에 디지탈 현미경과 광센서의 발광부와 수광부를 나란히 설치하여 광센서 출력전압과 서리 높이간의 연관성을 규명하기 위한 실험을 수행하였다. 150개의 실험 데이터로부터 서리높이를 예측할 수 있는 선형 상관식을 개발하여 계산한 결과, 측정값의 54%가 상관식으로 예측한 값의 ${\pm}10%$ 이내에서 일치하였으며 서리 높이가 0.3mm 이상의 실험데이터에서는 데이터의 90% 이상이 ${\pm}10%$ 이내에서 일치하였다. Xiao 등의 상관식과 비교하였을 때 출력전압 변화에 따른 서리 높이의 변화를 나타내는 기울기는 2.3% 오차 범위에서 일치하였으나 Xiao 등의 상관식은 실제 열교환기가 아닌 모사 열교환기를 사용한 이상적인 조건에서 개발되었기 때문에 절편 값에서는 큰 차이를 보였다.

The strategy for increasing the palatability of Hanwoo beef through fattening could lead to a decline in yield grade. The aim of this study was to examine the meat quality traits of Longissimus dorsi (LD) muscle from carcasses of Hanwoo steers at different yield grades. A total of 246 Hanwoo steers was divided into the following yield grades: A (n=77), B (n=76) and C (n=93). Meat quality traits, including proximate composition, cholesterol content, nucleotide content, dipeptide content, creatine and creatinine, free amino acid content, fatty acid composition, instrumental meat color, pH, water holding capacity, drip loss, cooking loss, and sensory qualities of the LD muscle from the 3 yield grades of Hanwoo carcasses were measured. The decline in yield grade from A to C resulted in an increase in crude fat and cholesterol content as well as a decrease in inosine 5'-monophosphate and aspartic acid in the LD muscle (p<0.05). In terms of fatty acid composition, the LD muscle from yield grade A had higher SFA and PUFA and lower MUFA content than that from yield grade C (p<0.05). However, the ratio of PUFA/SFA and n-6/n-3 did not differ among LD muscles from the 3 yield grades. There were no significant differences among other meat quality traits in relation to the yield grade. In conclusion, we suggest that the changes of substances related with health and flavor can be considered in order to obtain better quality Hanwoo beef.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to develop bridge deck concrete materials based on ordinary Portland cement concrete, and to evaluate the applicability of the developed materials through material properties tests. METHODS : For field implementation, raw material (cement, fine aggregate, and coarse aggregate) properties, fresh concrete properties (slump and air content), strength (compressive, flexural and bond strength) gain, and durability (freeze-thaw resistance, scaling resistance, and rapid chloride penetrating resistance) performance were evaluated in the laboratory. RESULTS : For the selected binder content of $410kg/m^3$, W/B = 0.42, and S/a = 0.48, the following material performance results were obtained. Considering the capacity of the deck finisher, a minimum slump of 150 mm was required. At least 6 % of air content was obtained to resist freeze-thaw damage. In terms of strength, 51.28 MPa of compressive strength, 7.41 MPa of flexural strength, and 2.56 MPa of bond strength at 28 days after construction were obtained. A total of 94.9 % of the relative dynamic modulus of elasticity after 300 cycles of freeze-thaw resistance testing and $0.0056kg/m^2$ of weight loss in a scaling resistance test were measured. However, in a chloride ion penetration resistance test, the result of 3,356 Coulomb, which exceeds the threshold value of the standard specification (1000 Coulomb at 56 days) was observed. CONCLUSIONS : Instead of using high-performance modified bridge deck materials such as latex or silica fume, we developed an optimum mix design based on ordinary Portland cement concrete. A test construction was carried out at ramp bridge B (bridge length = 111 m) in Gim Jai City. Immediately after the concrete was poured, the curing compound was applied, and then wet mat curing was applied for 28 days. Considering the fact that cracks did not occur during the monitoring period, the applicability of the developed material is considered to be high.

A multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT)/graphene (GR) composite was synthesized for an enhanced supercapacitor. Aerosol spray pyrolysis (ASP) was employed to synthesize the MWCNT/GR composites using a colloidal mixture of MWCNT and graphene oxide (GO). The effect of the weight ratio of the MWCNT/GO on the particle properties including the morphology and layered structure were investigated. The morphology of MWCNT/GR composites was generally the shape of a crumpled paper ball, and the average composite size was about $5{\mu}m$. MWCNT were uniformly dispersed in GR sheets and the MWCNT not only increase the basal spacing but also bridge the defects for electron transfer between GR sheets. Thus, it was increasing electrolyte/electrode contact area and facilitating transportation of electrolyte ion and electron in the electrode. Electrochemical data demonstrate that the MWCNT/GR (weight ratio=0.1) composite possesses a specific capacitance of 192 F/g at 0.1 A/g and good rate capability (88% capacity retention at 4 A/g) using two-electrode testing system.

The proprietary post-combustion CO₂ solvent (KoSol) developed by the Korea Electric Power Research Institute (KEPRI) was applied at the Shanghai Shidongkou CO₂ Capture Pilot Plant (China Huaneng CERI, capacity: 120,000 ton CO₂/yr) of the China Huaneng Group (CHNG) for performance evaluation. The key results of the pilot test and data on the South Korean/Chinese electric power market were used to calculate the predicted cost of CO₂ avoided upon deployment of CO₂ capture technology in commercial-scale coal-fired power plants. Sensitivity analysis was performed for the key factors. It is estimated that, in the case of South Korea, the calculated cost of CO₂ avoided for an 960 MW ultra-supercritical (USC) coal-fired power plant is approximately 35~44 USD/tCO₂ (excluding CO₂ transportation and storage costs). Conversely, applying the same technology to a 1,000 MW USC coal-fired power plant in Shanghai, China, results in a slightly lower cost (32~42 USD/tCO₂). This study confirms the importance of international cooperation that takes into consideration the geographical locations and the performance of CO₂ capture technology for the involved countries in the process of advancing the economic efficiency of large-scale CCS technology aimed to reduce greenhouse gases

창조경제는 전체산업이 융합하는 현상과 관련이 있으며, 융합은 기술 및 창의적인 아이디어의 다차원적 결합을 의미한다. 첨단기술과 대규모자본을 투입하지 않더라도 창의적인 컨셉과 융합아이디어를 바탕으로 성공사례를 만들 수 있는 강점이 있으며 제조업 분야에서는 최근 들어 IT 기술과의 융합을 기반으로 한 제3차 제조업혁명이 확산되고 있으며, 생태계 내의 네트워크화를 통해 기업의 경쟁력을 향상시키는 동인으로 작동하고 있다. 그간 국내에서의 융합은 주로 대기업에서 관심을 가지고 추진한 것이 사실이다. 중소기업의 경우 융합에 대한 관심은 높으나 구체적인 추진은 부족하여, 이에 대한 정책적인 고려가 요구되는 상황이다. 창조적인 아이디어가 가미된 융합은 중소기업에게 성공을 위한 새로운 기회를 제공할 수 있으므로 대기업에 비해 상대적으로 자원이 부족한 중소기업도 융합 아이디어만 있으면 부가가치를 높이고 신사업을 창출함으로써 성공 가능하므로 단순히 기술 결합에 의한 기술제품의 개선이나 시장 확대가 아니라 창조적인 아이디어를 부가하는 것이 관건이 된다. 따라서 중소기업 융합 활성화를 위해서는 첫째, 융합을 통한 중소기업 R&D 역량 강화 방안 둘째, 중소기업 융합성과의 보호 및 활용도 제고 셋째, 중소기업융합 인프라를 확충시킬 수 있는 과제가 우선적으로 추진될 필요가 있다.

Recently, many utilities have considered interim dry storage of spent nuclear fuel as an option for increasing spent fuel storage capacity. Foreign nuclear regulatory committees have provided some regulatory and licensing requirements for relatively low- and medium-burned spent fuel with respect to the prevention of spent fuel degradation during transportation and interim dry storage. In the present study, the effect of cladding creep and hydride distribution on spent fuel degradation is reviewed and performance tests with high-burned Zircaloy-4 and advanced Zr alloy spent fuel are proposed to investigate the effect of burnup and cladding materials on the current regulatory and licensing requirements. Creep tests were also performed to investigate the effect of temperature and tensile hoop stress on hydride reorientation and subsequently to examine the temperature and stress limits against cladding material failure. It is found that the spent fuel failure is mainly caused by cladding creep rupture combined with mechanical strength degradation and hydride reorientation. Hydride reorientation from the circumferential to radial direction may reduce the critical stress intensity that accelerates radial crack propagation. The results of cladding creep tests at $400^{\circ}C$ and 130MPa hoop stress performed in this study indicate that hydride reorientation may occur between 2.6% to 7.0% strain in tube diameter with a hydrogen content range of 40-120ppm. Therefore, it is concluded that hydride re-orientation behaviour is strongly correlated with the cladding creep-induced strain, which varies as functions of temperature and stress acting on the cladding.

기존 비보강 조적벽체의 내진 성능과 에너지 효율을 동시에 보강하기 위한 TCP 보강 공법을 개발하였다. TCP는 경량 모르타르 내 격자형 탄소섬유 시트와 모세관 튜브를 매립하여 일체로 타설한 패널로 조적벽체에 부착하여 탄소섬유 시트에 의한 내진보강과 모세관 튜브에 온수를 공급함으로써난방 또는 단열 등의 에너지 보강을 동시에 달성할수 있는 보강 공법이다. 본 연구에서는 TCP의 내진 보강 효과를 파악하기 위하여 TCP 보강 유무에 따른 조적 벽체를 대상으로 정적가력실험을 실시하였다. 실험 결과, TCP 보강에 의해 최대 강도 및 변위가 약 1.4배증가하였으며, 초기 강성과 에너지 흡수능력에 효과가 있음을 보였다. 또한, 손상에 따른 조적 벽체의 변형이 제어됨에 따라 취성 파괴를 예방할수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
