The number of vehicles applied diesel engine are rapidly rising for fuel economy. Accompanying this trend, application of an after-treatment system is strictly required as a result of reinforced emission regulation. The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) system is considered as the most efficiency method to reduce particulate matter (PM) by car makers but also in retrofit market. In recently, various kinds of partial flow DPF are widely used for proper filtration performance and reducing of pressure drop but it is difficult to define the characteristics of these filters because the filtration mechanism is obscure according to the status of these systems. In this paper we investigated the characteristics of cell open type DPF according to the status of filter especially, PM loading. The PM loading mass in the p-DPF are predicted from increase of differential pressure of DPF and the trend of filtration efficiency so that we can measure filtration efficiency and Balance Point Temperature (BPT) of this p-DPF according to PM loading.

Diesel particulate filter is being recognized that it is the most effective technologies to reduce particulate matter. In this study, to determine the characteristics of the cell-open-type pDPF, we employed p-DPF to exhaust gas tunnel of diesel engine and surveyed filtration efficiency and BPT on the basis of PM which is exhausted from engine. In this paper the soot loading mass in DPF can be predicted from increase of differential pressure of DPF so that we can measure filtration efficiency and Balance Point Temperature (BPT) by soot loading mass. The result of the research showed that the filtration efficiency is 65% in ESC mode with 0.7mm hole diameter. For the results of the characteristics of filtration efficiency and BPT according to mass_exh, we found that if mass_exh increases, filtration efficiency increases and BPT decreases.

Emission characteristics of regulated pollutants (CO, NOx, HC and PM) and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) from diesel heavy duty trucks equipped with EGR+pDPF and SCR for Euro 5 emission standards were investigated using a chassis dynamometer. In the case of regulated pollutants, diesel heavy duty trucks with EGR+pDPF emitted 79% less CO than those with SCR. Also, those with the SCR emitted 36% less NOx than those with the EGR+pDPF. The results of VOCs have show that alkanes emissions for heavy duty trucks with the EGR+pDPF and the SCR have been higher than alkenes, cycloalkanes and aromatics. In the case of individual VOCs, the highest of propene emissions for 11.3~16.1% occupied. For aromatics group, benzene emissions are the highest percentage for 4.4~15.5%. In the future, the results of present study will provide basic data to set up HAPs emissions inventory for mobile source.

This paper is to investigate the influence of driving patterns of slow and high speed vehicles on the performance of continuously regenerating diesel particulate filter(DPF) system matched with operating conditions in field application. The DPF performance test for field application was carried out for two identical DPFs installed to slow and high speed vehicles. A slow speed vehicle was selected among local buses which have driving patterns to repeat running and stop frequently, while a high speed vehicle was prepared to have long route of high speed over 60km/h like inter-city buses. In this test, the regeneration performance on the DPF of slow speed vehicle deteriorated because of high soot load index(SLI) in spite of same balance point temperature(BPT) distribution for high speed vehicle. The DPF of slow speed vehicle melted in the end because the rapid increase of back pressure caused high temperature over $1200^{\circ}C$ in the ceramic wall of DPF. The PM components like ash collected to the filter in the DPF were analyzed in order to investigate the cause of the defect and provide an operation performance of DPF system. In the result of the analysis, high levels of lubrication oil ash(Ca, Mg, P, Zn) were detected.

미세먼지발생 문제는 커다란 사회적 문제로 대두되고 있다. 선박에서는 주 추진 동력원으로 디젤엔진을 주로 사용하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 디젤엔진에서 발생하는 미세먼지로 알려진 입자상 물질을 줄이기 위해서 디젤엔진의 후처리시스템으로 사용 중인 DPF(디젤미립자 필터, Diesel particulate filter)를 소개하고자 한다. DPF의 소재로는 Cordierite와 SiC (Silicon carbide)의 두 가지가 사용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 SiC DPF에 사용되는 접합제의 물성 향상을 위해서 기존 접합제로 사용된 SiC 계열의 물질 대신 코디얼라이트를 사용하여 열팽창계수 변화를 통한 고온 변형에 대한 열 내구성을 평가하였으며, 접합제와 Segment 사이의 결합을 결정짓는 바탕제에 주성분인 실리카졸의 pH 변화에 따른 물성 변화를 확인하였다. 이를 기반으로 실리카 졸의 반응성을 높이기 위해 Siline계 커플링제를 첨가하거나 SiC를 일부 첨가함으로써 접합제의 물성 변화의 영향에 대해서 실험을 통하여 확인하였다.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the diesel retrofit program which have been proceeded for the last 7 years in Gyeonggi-do. Diesel retrofit programs in Gyeonggi-do consist of the attachment of DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter), p-DPF (partial-DPF) and DOC (Diesel Oxidation Catalyst), switching to LPG engine, scraping an old cars. Emission reduction by diesel retrofit program was estimated $N_2O$ 8,313.4 ton/year, PM10 3,626.4 ton/year, VOC 8,078.5 ton/year in 2010. The benefit-cost analysis shows that the 964 billion wons of benefits are greater than the 853 billion wons of total costs. Diesel retrofit programs could be one of the most effective measures to improve PM10 concentration in metropolitan area. But retrofit programs also need to be properly maintained by each vehicle.

Totally, one hundred and sixty 1-day-old Ross 308 broiler chicks were fed with a diet containing 0, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 mg of aflatoxin $B_1(AFB_1)/kg$ of feed for 21 days. Body weight was lower for the $AFB_1$-treated broilers than for the control group. At 14 and 21 DPF, the broilers fed with 2.0 mg of $AFB_1/kg$ of feed weighed significantly lower than those of the other groups (p<0.05). Relative liver weights increased significantly in a dose-dependent manner, and relative spleen weights were significantly high in the chicks fed with 2.0 mg of $AFB_1/kg$ of feed at 21 DPF (p<0.001). Biochemical analyses showed that total protein and albumin levels decreased significantly at 7 and 14 DPF for the chicks of the group fed with 2.0 of mg $AFB_1/kg$ of feed, compared with those fed with 0.5 and 1.0 mg of $AFB_1/kg$ of feed (p<0.05). AST and ALT levels increased significantly at 14 and 21 DPF (p<0.05), and the AST levels, particularly, increased dose-dependently (p<0.05). Histopathological analyses showed that the liver tissues of the $AFB_1$-treated chicks showed significant lesions, including hemorrhage, hepatocyte necrosis, inflammatory cell infiltration, and fatty degeneration. The severity of both hepatocyte necrosis and inflammatory cell infiltration appeared to increase dose- and time-dependently. Similarly, hepatic fibrosis increased dose-dependently (p<0.05). The results of this study could improve our understanding of parameters used for evaluating aflatoxicosis in poultry.

The sea cucumber, Apostichopus japonicus, is one of the most valuable aquatic species. The color of body wall and appearance are important for the value of sea cucumbers. To examine expression pattern of long-chain acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase (LCAD), nuclear distribution C-containing protein 3 (NUDCD3), and receptor tyrosine kinase Tie-1 (TIE1), previously reported as differently expressed genes during the pigmentation of sea cucumber, we analyzed the temporal profiles of LCAD, NUDCD3, and TIE1 mRNAs in LED-exposed and light-shielded A. japonicus. Real-time quantitative PCR revealed that the LCAD, NUDCD3, and TIE1 mRNAs from the juveniles at 40-60 days post-fertilization (dpf) exhibited increasing patterns as compared to those of an early developmental larva (6-dpf). At 60-dpf juveniles, the LCAD and TIE1 mRNA levels of LED-exposed individuals were higher than those of light-shielded ones, whereas at 40-dpf and 50-dpf juveniles, the NUDCD3 mRNA expression was higher in the light-shielded condition (p<0.05). In the pigmented juveniles (90-dpf), the LCAD and TIE1 mRNA levels tended to show higher levels in red individuals than those in green ones, but there was a conversely higher level of NUDCD3 mRNA in green larva. In situ examination of LCAD and NUDCD3 mRNAs in light-shielded 6-dpf larva revealed that both genes are mainly expressed in the internal organs compared to the body surface. Together, these results may provide insights into the differential gene expression of LCAD, NUDCD3, and TIE1 during pigmentation process of the sea cucumber.

There is Increasing world-wide interest in diesel particulate filters (DPF) because of their proven effectiveness in reducing exhaust smoke and particulate emissions. Fine particulates have been linked to human health . DPF use requires a means to secure the bum-out of the accumulated soot, a process called regeneration. If this is not achieved, the engine cannot continue to operate. A number of techniques are available, but most are complex, expensive or have a high electrical demand. The use of fuel additives to catalyse soot bum-out potentially solves the problem of securing regeneration reliably and at low cost. Work on organo-metallic fuel additives has shown that certain metals combine to glove exceptional regeneration performance. Best performance was achieved with a combination of iron and strontium based compounds. Tests were carried out un a bed engine and on road vehicles, which demonstrated effective and reliable regeneration from a tow dose fuel additive, using a single passive DPF. No control valves, flow diverters. heaters or other devices were employed to assist regeneration. Independent particle size measurements showed that there were no harmful side effects from the use of the iron-strontium fuel additive.

아토피 피부염에서 유산균의 유익성에 대해서는 이미 많이 알려져 있고 우리나라 전통식품인 김치유산균의 유익성에 대한 연구도 많이 진행되었으나 아토피 피부염에서 김치 유산균의 효과에 관한 연구는 아직 미비한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 아토피 동물 모델인 NC/Nga mice에 김치유산균에서 추출한 유산균(L.plantarum K8)의 파쇄물과 유산균 및 ${\gamma}$-리놀렌산 복합체(L.rhamnosus GG 생균, B. lactis Bb-12Lb 생균, L. plantarum K8생균, L. plantarum K8 파쇄물, ${\gamma}$-리놀렌산)를 경구 투여한 후 혈청 면역지표(IgE, IL-4, IL-5, IFN-${\gamma}$)와 비장 배양액에서 IgE 농도를 측정하였다. 실험동물의 체중 및 사료섭취량은 사육기간이 지남에 따라 증가하는 경향을 보였으며 각 군 간에 유의적인 차이는 관찰되지 않았다. 실험 시작 시 혈청 IgE 농도는 각 군 간에 차이가 나타나지 않았으나 실험 전 기간 4주 동안 유산균 파쇄물(DPF), 유산균 및 ${\gamma}$-리놀렌산 복합체(DPOC), 항히스타민(DAH)을 섭취한 군에서 증류수(DDW)만을 섭취군에 비하여 유의적으로 낮게 나타났다. 혈청 IFN-${\gamma}$ 농도는 각 군에서 유의적인 차이가 나타나지 않았으나 혈청 IL-4 농도는 유산균 및 ${\gamma}$-리놀렌산 복합체를 섭취한 군(DPOC)에서 대조군에 비하여 유의적으로 낮게 나타났다. 혈청 IL-5 농도는 유산균 파쇄물(DPF), 유산균 및 ${\gamma}$-리놀렌산 복합체(DPOC), 항히스타민(DAH)을 섭취한 군에서 모두 대조군에 비하여 유의적으로 낮았다. 비장 임파구 배양 상층액의 IgE 농도는 각 군에서 군 간 유의적인 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 결론적으로, 아토피 동물모델 NC/Nga mice에 유산균 파쇄물(DPF)과 유산균 및 감마리놀렌산 복합체(DPOC)의 경구투여는 혈청 IgE, IL-4, IL-5를 감소시키는 것으로 나타났으며, 김치로부터 추출한 프로바이오틱스를 아토피 환자에게 섭취시켰을 때 IgE, IL-4, IL-5 감소와 같은 긍정적인 효과를 볼 수 있을 것으로 기대한다. 여러 종류의 프로바이오틱스는 아토피의 증상완화 또는 면역 체계에 미치는 영향과 정확한 메카니즘을 밝히기 위하여 과학적인 연구가 필요한 것으로 사료된다.
