IMO MEPC에서는 지구온난화를 늦추기 위해서, 선박에서 배출되는 GHG(Green House Gas)인 $CO_2$를 줄이기 위한 방안으로 선속을 다운시켜 운항할 것을 제안한바 있으며, 해운회사에서도 연료비 절감을 위해서 자발적으로 감속운항(Low steaming)을 하고 있어, 국제항해에 종사하고 있는 대부분의 컨테이너선들이 감속운항을 하고 있다. 또한, 날로 증가되고 있는 해운 물동량 증가로 선박의 연료비 부담이 증가되고 있어 연료비 절감 기술개발이 절실히 요구되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 디젤엔진의 성능을 향상시킬 수 있는 연료첨가제(유용성 칼슘계 유기금속화합물)를 일정량 투입(사용 연료량의 0.025%) 하여 연료비를 절감하는 방법을 시도하였다. 실험의 정확도를 위해서 육상 발전소에 설치된 2행정 대형 디젤엔진을 실험 대상으로 하였다. 실험 엔진의 부하는 저, 중 및 고 부하(50, 75, 100%)로 나누어서 실시하였으며, 연료첨가제의 투입 전과 투입 후의 엔진성능(출력, 연료소비율, 최고연소압력(P-max), 배기온도)을 비교 분석 하였다. 본 실험을 통해서 연료첨가제를 투입함으로써 저부하(50%) 에서 2% 이상의 연료비 절감 효과를 확인 할 수 있었으며, 최고연소압력은 상승하는 반면에 배기온도는 하강함을 알 수 있었다.

Methylmercury (MeHg) is an environmental pollutant with neurotoxic effects on the central nervous system. The major exposure route of MeHg to humans is via consumption of fish and shellfish which accumulate the chemical through the food web in an aquatic environment. Hair mercury level is an excellent marker for MeHg exposure. We have been conducting a survey on hair mercury contents among general populations from 14 districts to estimate the current Japanese MeHg exposure level. Total mercury levels of all hair samples collected (12923 in total) were analyzed by the oxygen combustion-gold amalgamation method using an atomic absorption mercury detector. Multiple regression analysis revealed that mercury levels were significantly correlated with several covariates, such as sex, age, the amount of daily intake of total fish/shellfish, a preference for certain fish such as tuna or bonito, and artificial waving. The geometric means for the population without artificial waving were 2.47 and 1.65 ${\mu}g/g$ for males (n = 5623) and females (n = 3470), respectively. Hair mercury levels varied with age, and the variations were more significant in males. Since the difference between sexes was not evident at younger ages, some hormonal control might also be involved in the mercury uptake by human hair. The average mercury levels in our hair samples varied among the sampling districts. Tuna is a major carnivorous fish with high mercury accumulations that is often consumed in Japan. The amount of fish consumption and the preference rate far tuna would appear to be responsible far the regional variation in hair mercury levels in Japan. Recently, a provisional tolerable weekly intake (PTWI) of MeHg was revised by 61st JECFA to 1.6 ${\mu}g/kg/week$, which was about half that of the Japanese standard, and corresponded to a hair level of 2.2 ppm. The distribution of hair mercury levels in Japanese populations in the present study indicated that 25% of the Japanese females of child-bearing age were estimated to be exposed to MeHg over the PTWI level. This would reflect the high Japanese consumption of marine products. However, not only mercury contamination, but also the nutritional benefit may have to be considered when discussing the risk involved in the current level of fish and shellfish consumption in Japan.

우주비행체는 우주공간에서 소형 추력기를 통해 연소가스를 노즐 외부로 배출시킴으로써 궤도보정 및 자세제어에 필요한 반작용 모멘텀을 발생시킨다. 이때 배출된 배기가스가 우주비행체의 표면과 충돌하면서 발생된 교란 힘 및 교란토크, 열 부하, 표면 오염 등은 우주비행체의 수명 단축 및 기능저하를 유발시킬 수 있으므로 추력기 배기가스 거동에 관한 예측은 우주비행체 설계시 매우 중요한 절차라고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 우주비행체의 자세제어용 추력기로 사용되는 10 N급 이원추진제 추력기의 배기가스 거동을 수치적으로 해석함으로써 우주비행체 설계에 필요한 핵심기술을 확보하는 것이 목적이다. 이를 위해 모노메틸하이드라진(MMH) 연료와 사산화이질소(NTO) 산화제의 화학평형반응과 추력기 노즐 내부 연속체 영역 계산을 수행한 후 배기가스 해석을 위한 직접모사법(DSMC)의 유입조건으로 적용하였다. 해석 결과, 이원추진제 추력기 노즐 부근에서 배기가스의 화학종 박리와 같은 비평형 팽창과 후방유동의 특성들을 예측할 수 있었다.

To estimate greenhouse gas (GHG) emission, the inventory of rice cultivation at the farming without agricultural chemicals was established from farmers in Gunsan, Jeonbuk province in 2011~2012. The objectives of this study were to calculate carbon footprint and analyse the major factor of GHGs. To do this, we carried out a sensitivity analysis using the analyzed main factors of GHGs and estimated the mitigation potential of GHGs. Also we suggested agricultural methods to reduce GHGs that can be appled by farmers at this region. At the farming system without agricultural chemicals, carbon footprint of rice production unit of 1 kg was 2.15 kg $CO_2.-eq.kg^{-1}$. Although the amount of carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) emission was the largest among GHGs, methane ($CH_4$) emission had the highest contribution to carbon footprint on rice production system when it was converted to carbon dioxide equivalent ($CO_2-eq.$) multiplied by the global warming potential (GWP). Main source of $CO_2$ emission in the rice farming system without agricultural chemicals was combustion of fossil fuels used by agricultural machinery. Most of the $CH_4$ was emitted during rice cultivation practice and its major emission factor was flooded paddy field in anaerobic condition. Also, most of the $N_2O$ was emitted from rice cultivation process. Major sources of the $N_2O$ emission was application of fertilizer such as compound fertilizer. As a result of sensitivity analysis in energy consumption, diesel had the highest sensitivity among the energy inputs. With the reduction of diesel consumption by 10%, it was estimated that $CO_2$ potential reduction was about 2.0%. With reducing application rate of compound fertilizer by 10%, the potential reduction was calculated that $CO_2$ and $N_2O$ could be reduced by 0.5% and 0.9%, respectively. At the condition of 10% reduction of silicate and compost, $CO_2$ and $CH_4$ could be reduced by 1.5% and 1.6%, respectively. With 8 days more drainage than the ordinary practice, $CH_4$ emission could be reduced by about 4.5%. Drainage and diesel consumption were the main sources having the largest effect on the GHG reduction at the farming system without agricultural chemicals. Based on the above results, we suggest that no-tillage and midsummer drainage could be a method to decrease GHG emissions from rice production system.

NIRS uses reflectance signals resulting from bending and stretching vibrations in chemical bonds between carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, sulfur and oxygen. These reflectance signals are used to measure the concentration of major chemical composition and other descriptors of homogenized and freeze-dried whole broiler carcasses. Six strains of chicken were analyzed and the NIRS model predictions compared to reference data. The results of this comparison indicate that NIRS is a rapid tool for predicting dry matter (DM), fat, crude protein (CP) and ash content in the broiler carcass. Males and females of six commercial strain crosses of broiler chicken (Gallus domesticus) were used in this study (6$\times$2 factorial design). Each strain was grown to 16 weeks of age, and duplicate serial samples were taken for body composition analysis. Each whole carcass was pressure-cooked, homogenized, and a representative sample was freeze-dried. Body composition determined as follows: DM by oven dried method at 105$^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours, fat by Mojonnier diethyl ether extraction, CP by measuring nitrogen content using an auto-analyzer with Kjeldhal digest and ash by combustion in a muffle furnace for 24 hour at 55$0^{\circ}C$. These homogenized and freeze-dried carcass samples were then scanned with a Foss NIR Systems 6500 visible-NIR spectrophotometer (400-2500nm) (Foss NIR Systems, Silver Spring, MD., US) using Infra-Soft-International, ISI, WinISl software (ISI, Port Matilda, US). The NIRS spectra were analyzed using principal component (PC) analysis. This data was corrected for scatter using standard normal “Variate” and “Detrend” technique. The accuracy of the NIRS calibration equations developed using Partial Least Squares (PLS) for predicting major chemical composition and carcass descriptors- such as body mass (BM), bird dry matter and moisture content was tested using cross validation. Discrimination analysis was also used for sex and strain identification. According to Dr John Shenk, the creator of the ISI software, the calibration equations with the correlation coefficient, $R^2$, between reference data and NIRS predicted results of above 0.90 is excellent and between 0.70 to 0.89 is a good quantifying guideline. The excellent calibration equations for DM ($R^2$= 0.99), fat (0.98) and CP (0.92) and a good quantifying guideline equation for ash (0.80) were developed in this study. The results of cross validation statistics for carcass descriptors, body composition using reference methods, inter-correlation between carcass descriptors and NIRS calibration, and the results of discrimination analysis for sex and strain identification will also be presented in the poster. The NIRS predicted daily gain and calculated daily gain from this experiment, and true daily gain (using data from another experiment with closely related broiler chicken from each of the six strains) will also be discussed in the paper.

유동층 연소 방식의 화력발전소에서 발생된 석탄 비산재를 점토와 혼합하여 8 mm 크기의 구형 성형체를 제조한 후, $1050^{\circ}C{\sim}1250^{\circ}C$에서 10분 직화 소성하여 인공골재를 제조하고, 골재의 발포특성에 미치는 비산재의 영향을 분석하였다. 비산재가 50 wt% 미만으로 첨가원 시편은 발포되면서 black-coring 현상을 나타내었다. 비산재가 50 wt% 이상 포함되면, 소성온도와 함께 골재의 부피비중이 높아지면서 시편 전체가 검은색으로 변하였다. 이는 미연탄소 함량의 증가로 인해 과도한 환원분위기가 형성되고 따라서 가스가 급속히 방출됨과 동시에 대부분의 산화철이 환원되기 때문이다. 소성온도가 같을 경우 비산재 함유량이 높을수록 골재의 부피비중은 낮아지는 경향을 보였다. 비산재 첨가량이 10 wt%인 경우를 제외한 모든 시편들은 소성 온도를 높이면 홉수율이 감소하였는데 이는 고온일수록 액상이 많이 형성되었기 때문이다. 본 연구에서 제조된 유통층 연소기 석탄 비산재에 점토가 10~90 wt% 첨가된 시편들은 부피비중이 0,9~1.8, 흡수율이 8~60%로 다양한 특성을 나타내어 중량 내지 경량골재로 사용이 가능할 것으로 생각된다.

In this study, measurements of size-segregated particulate matter (PM) emitted from the combustion of rice straw, pine needles, and sesame stem were conducted in a laboratory chamber. The collected samples were used to analyze amounts of organic and elemental carbon (OC and EC), water-soluble organic carbon (WSOC), humic-like substances (HULIS), and ionic species. The light absorption properties of size-resolved water extracts were measured using ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. A solid-phase extraction method was first used to separate the size-resolved HULIS fraction, which was then quantified by a total organic carbon analyzer. The results show that regardless of particle cut sizes, the contributions of size-resolved HULIS ($=1.94{\times}HULIS-C$) to PM size fractions ($PM_{0.32}$, $PM_{0.55}$, $PM_{1.0}$, and $PM_{1.8}$) were similar, accounting for 25.2-27.6, 15.2-22.4 and 28.2-28.7% for rice straw, pine needle, and sesame stem smoke samples, respectively. The $PM_{1.8}$ fraction revealed WSOC/OC and HULIS-C/WSOC ratios of 0.51 and 0.60, 0.44 and 0.40, and 0.50 and 0.60 for the rice straw, pine needle, and sesame stem burning emissions, respectively. Strong absorption with decreasing wavelength was found by the water extracts from size-resolved biomass burning aerosols. The absorption ${\AA}ngstr{\ddot{o}}m $ exponent values of the size-resolved water extracts fitted between 300 and 400 nm wavelengths for particle sizes of $0.32-1.0{\mu}m$ were 6.6-7.7 for the rice straw burning samples, and 7.5-8.0 for the sesame stem burning samples. The average mass absorption efficiencies of size-resolved WSOC and HULIS-C at 365 nm were 1.09 (range: 0.89-1.61) and 1.82 (range: 1.33-2.06) $m^2/g{\cdot}C$ for rice straw smoke aerosols, and 1.13 (range: 0.85-1.52) and 1.83 (range: 1.44-2.05) $m^2/g{\cdot}C$ for sesame stem smoke aerosols, respectively. The light absorption of size-resolved water extracts measured at 365 nm showed strong correlations with WSOC and HULIS-C concentrations ($R^2=0.89-0.93$), indicating significant contribution of HULIS component from biomass burning emissions to the light absorption of ambient aerosols.
