The continued rise in the number of automobiles on the roads is prompting air pollution to emerge as a serious problem due to the harmful exhaust gas emissions throughout the world. Specifically, based on the exhaust gas regulation in North America represented by PZEV, the regulation on evaporative emission, which originates from the intake manifold system when the engine is stopped, is substantially being intensified. And the technology that can meet and satisfy these regulations has been needed. This study aimed to analyze and evaluate the butane working capacity (BWC) of HC adsorption filter according to the shape of it, which was developed to reduce evaporative emission, and the effect of HC adsorption filter on the engine performance. As a results, HC adsorption filter of the plate type, which was improved compared to that of the corrugated type and also became thinner, indicates higher absorption performance compared to the corrugated one. The absorption performance of the honeycomb type, derived from improving the shape of plate type, is 33.5% higher than that of the corrugated type. However, there was no significant difference in engine performance in all shapes.

자연계에서는 오염물질이 단일물질로 존재하기보다는 혼합물로 존재하는 것이 대부분이다. 본 연구에서는 지하수 오염물질 chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbon(CAH)들 중 trichloroethylene(TCE), vinyl chloride(VC)에 대해서 Fe$^{\circ}$와 함께 미생물, 활성탄을 이용하여 단일물질 및 혼합물질상태에서 그 분해특성을 살펴보았다. 실험은 120$m\ell$ serum bottle을 이용하여 단일물질 및 혼합물질상태에서 그 분해특성을 살펴보았다. 실험은 120$m\ell$ serum bottle을 이용하였고 headspace 50${\mu}\ell$를 GC에 주입하여 각 오염물질 농도를 분석하였으며, Fe$^{\circ}$, Fe$^{\circ}$+ cell, Fe$^{\circ}$+ 활성탄 3가지 조건에서 TCE (25${\mu}\ell$)가 단일화합물 또는 VC(10$\mu\textrm{m}$)와 혼합화학물로 존재시 분해특성을 조사하였다. 단일화합물로 존재시 2시간후 TCE농도 측정 결과 Fe$^{\circ}$만을 이용하였을 때보다 활성탄, Cell을 함께 이용하였을 경우 그 분해율이 각각 1.6배, 1.8배 높게 나타났다. 그러나, VC와 혼화합물로 존재시 TCE 분해율은 단일 화합물로 존재시와 비교 Fe$^{\circ}$, Fe$^{\circ}$+ 활성탄, Fe$^{\circ}$+ cell 조건에서 각각 63%, 28%, 5%로 나타났다. VC는 Fe$^{\circ}$만으로는 분해가 되지 않았지만 cell에 의해 완전분해 되었으며, 함께 존재시 TC는 Fe$^{\circ}$만으로는 분해가 되지 않았지만 cell에 의해 완전분해 되었으며, 함께 존재시 TCE분해에 저해작용을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

In power system research fields, one of current key issues is the construction and commercialization of micro grid site which is called green island, carbon zero island, energy independent island, building micro grid, etc. and various affiliated technologies have been being vigorously developed to realize. In addition, various researches about electric vehicles (EVs) are in progress and it is expected to penetrate rapidly with the next a few years. Some new load models should be developed integrating with electric vehicle loads because the EVs' deployment could cause the change of load composition rate on power system planning and operations. EVs are also resources for micro grid as well as distributed generation and demand response so that various supply and demand side resources should be considered for micro grid researches. In this paper, the load composition rate of residential sectors is prospected considering the deployment of EVs and the resource configuration of micro grid is optimized based on net present cost. In the optimization, the load patten of case studies includes EV's charging characteristics and various cases are simulated comparing micro grid environment and normal condition. HOMER is used to compare various cases and economic effects.

Background: Benzene is a known occupational and environmental pollutant. Its urinary metabolite trans, trans-muconic acid (tt-MA) has been introduced by some environmental and occupational health regulatory associations as a biological index for the assessment of benzene exposure; however, recently, doubts have been raised about the specificity of tt-MA for low-level benzene exposures. In the present study, we investigated the association between urinary levels of tt-MA and inhalational exposure to benzene in different exposure groups. Methods: Benzene exposure was assessed by personal air sampling. Collected benzene on charcoal tube was extracted by carbon disulfide and determined by a gas chromatograph (gas chromatography with a flame ionization detector). Urinary tt-MA was extracted by a strong anion-exchange column and determined with high-performance liquid chromatography-UV. Results: Urinary levels of tt-MA in intensive benzene exposure groups (chemical workers and police officers) were significantly higher than other groups (urban and rural residents), but its levels in the last two groups with significant different exposure levels (mean = 0.081 ppm and 0.019 ppm, respectively) showed no significant difference (mean = $388{\mu}g/g$ creatinine and $282{\mu}g/g$, respectively; p < 0.05). Before work shift, urine samples of workers and police officers showed a high amount of tt-MA and its levels in rural residents' samples were not zero. Conclusion: Our results suggest that tt-MA may not be a reliable biomarker for monitoring low-level (below 0.5 ppm) benzene exposures.

This paper is concerned with design, manufacturing and performance test of LIPCA ( Lightweight Piezo- composite Curved Actuator) using a top carbon fiber composite layer with near -zero CTE(coefficient of thermal expansion), a middle PZT ceramic wafer and a bottom glass/epoxy layer with high CTE. The main point of this design is to replace the heavy metal layers of THUNDER by thigh tweight fiber reinforced plastic layers without losing capabilities to generate high force and large displacement. It is possible to save weight up to about 30% if we replace the metallic backing material by the light fiber composite layer. We can also have design flexibility by selecting the fiber direction and the size of prepreg layers. In addition to the lightweight advantage and design flexibility, the proposed device can be manufactured without adhesive layers when we use epoxy resin prepreg system. Glass/epoxy prepregs, a ceramic wafer with electrode surfaces, and a graphite/epoxy prepreg were simply stacked and cured at an elevated temperature (177 $^{circ}C$ after following an autoclave bagging process. It was found that the manufactured composite laminate device had a sufficient curvature after detached from a flat mold. The analysis method of the cure curvature of LIPCA using the classical lamination theory is presented. The predicted curvatures are fairly in agreement with the experimental ones. In order to investigate the merits of LIPCA, a performance test of both LIPCA and THUNDE$^{TM}$ were conducted under the same boundary conditions. From the experimental actuation tests, it was observed that the developed actuator could generate larger actuation displacement than THUNDERT$^{TM}$.

최근에 저탄소녹색성장 및 OPC 절감의 요구에 따라 BS와 같은 산업 부산물을 많이 사용하고 재건축의 증가 및 건설폐기물 발생량이 많아지면서 RA 사용 확대하게 되며, RA 및 무 시멘트 결합재 관심 증대 되고 있다. 무 시멘트 결합재와 RA의 활용을 모두 만족시키기 위하여, RA와 철강 산업 부산물인 BS을 혼합함으로써, 100% 순환자원만을 활용하여 무 시멘트 상태에서 강도발현성을 확인한 바 있다.이에 본 연구는 OPC를 사용하지 않고, BS과 RA 및 CS를 사용하여 모르타르를 제조함으로써 기존 강알칼리를 투입하여 제조하는 지오폴리머 모르타르(Geopolymermortar)와 또 다른 관점에서 접근하였다. 결과적으로, RFA의 유동성 저하 및 초기강도 저하문제만 해결 될 수 있다면, BS에 CS를 15% 치환하고 RFA골재를 사용하는 무 시멘트 모르타르가 OPC 100%를 사용한 종래의 시멘트 모르타르 만큼의 품질을 발휘할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

국토교통부는 녹색건축물 조성을 촉진하기 위해 '17년 공동주택은 냉,난방 에너지 90%('90년 대비) 절감 목표를 수립하였으며, 2015년 UN 기후변화회의(2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference)에서 당국은 2030년 배출전망 (BAU)인 8억 5060만 ton $CO^2$ 대비 37%를 감축하겠다고 발표하였다. 이를 만족하기 위해서는 가장 많은 탄소 발생을 야기하는 건축물에서 탄소배출 최소화를 위한 조치가 시급하며, 이에 건물 사용 시 발생하는 탄소배출 감축을 위해 필요한 건물 성능 강화를 유도하는 커미셔닝에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 그러나 현재 건설업계에서 커미셔닝은 법제화되어 있지 않고 건설 참여자의 수행의지 및 효과 홍보 부족으로 인해 활성화 되어있지 않다. 또한, 녹색건축으로의 인증을 획득하는 과정에서 조차 커미셔닝은 필수 수행 항목으로 지정되어 있지 않아 국내 커미셔닝은 그 효과 대비 저평가 받고 있는 실정이다. 이에, 본 연구에서는 커미셔닝의 효과에 대해 기술하고, 해외 녹색건축인증 LEED, BREEAM을 기준으로 커미셔닝이 녹색건축에 있어서 어떻게 평가받고 있는지 국내 G-SEED와 비교, 분석하여 국내 녹색건축인증에서의 커미셔닝 필수화를 제안하고 나아가 커미셔닝이 국내에서 활성화 될 수 있도록 건설 주체자의 인식 변화를 유도하고자 한다.

Sustainable design is getting to be controversial issue in all industries over the world particularly, in architecture as the amount of energy usage in architecture occupies 40%. Therefore, it is essential to make the standard for the sustainable design. In order to construct the sustainable design, firstly it should be considered that sustainable design elements based on natural resources to increase building energy efficiency is established and classified. The method of sustainable design divides into passive design and active design. Passive design method should be examined with active one simultaneously for more efficient usage of energy. Next, the study is followed how the sustainable design elements is adopted in buildings through the comparison of cases study of domestic and oversea. The result of case study shows similar adoption of sustainable design elements between oversea and domestic. However, the difference is shown in the building orientation and shape and the window size and position in Solar energy as well as high performance structure in Heat energy. These elements are the most significant elements in order to reduce energy load. In oversea, sustainable design is generated by architects, a client, and consultants based on the close cooperation in the beginning of early design phase before deciding building shape and envelope while in the domestic field adoption for sustainable design is conducted after deciding building shape and material. In order to design sustainable architecture more study is necessary in early stage for Zero Carbon and reducing building energy load through relation with specialists, a client and architects.
