The dietary value and fatty acids composition for the hatched neonates from the resting eggs of marine roofers, Brachionus plicatilis and B. rotundiformis were compared with that for mass-cultured rotifers (control) by feeding them to larvae of flounder (Paralichthy olivaceus) and parrot fish (Oplegnathus fasciatus). Resting eggs were mass-produced in $1~4m^3$tanks by feeding Chlorella sp. and baker's yeast. The B. plicatilis and B. rotundiformis eggs were preserved at $5^{\circ}C$ in darkness for 3 and 5 months, respectively, and hatched at $28^{\circ}C$ under continuous light. The hatched neonates from the resting eggs and mass-cultured rotifer, which was used as a rontrol were fed to fish larvaes. The growth and survival rates of parrot fish larvae fed on the neonates from the resting eggs of B. rotundiformis were similar to those of fish larvae fed on the control rotifer. And the growth and survival rates of the flounder larvae with neonates from the resting eggs of B. plicatilis were similar or higher than those fed the control rotifer. Also the fatty acids composition of the neonates from the resting eggs of B. plicatilis and B. rotundiformis were similar to those from the control rotifers. This results showed that the hatched neonates from resting eggs of rotifer could be used as an effective diet for flounder and parrot fish larvae.

$CO_2$ is generated by the combustion reaction, when getting the energy from fossil fuel. If the carbon dioxide emissions increases more, the global warming problem will become more serious. CCS (carbon capture storage) needs to be developed for the prevention of this. When liquefied $CO_2$ is transported, BOG (boil-off gas) is generated because of several problems. In the study, by injecting liquefied $CO_2$ in two tanks which contains $40m^3$each, the amount of BOG and its composition were measured during 30 days when generating pressure changes and external heat, loading, unloading. In result, 16,040 kg of BOG was generated and the composition has been found out to be 99.95% $CO_2$ and 0.05 % $N_2$. Also, we conducted simulation process for reliquefaction of generated BOG with vapor compression cycle using the PRO/II with PROVISION version 9.2. As a result, the refrigeration cycle of the total circulation flow rate was 42.07 kg/h and the condenser utility consumption was 48.85 kg/h.

Water temperature tolerance of spats of the Manila clam, Ruditapes philippinarum was investigated in the different temperature groups, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35$^{\circ}C$. The survival rates of the groups were 99.7%, 91.0%, 88.7%, 73.3% and 0%, respectively (p < 0.05). When the temperature of the water decreased from 15$^{\circ}C$ to 5$^{\circ}C$, the survival of spats was higher than when the temperature increased. The growth and survival of spats were investigated in different types of bottom substrates in the tanks. The spats grew the best in the polyvinyl plates, the average shell length was 3.9 ${\pm}$ 0.4 mm. In the FRP tank bottom and sand bottom, the average shell lengths of spats were 3.6 ${\pm}$ 0.3 mm and 3.2 ${\pm}$ 0.3 mm, respectively. The best survival of spats cultured in the FRP tank bottom (22.9 g) and in the polyvinyl plates (20.6 g) (p < 0.05).

Currently the fish aquaculture industry of Korea is focused on the mass culture of flatfish (Paralichthys olivaceus) and and rockfish (Sebastes schlegeli) with completely controlled culture techniques. Recently, there has been considerable interest in new species development, such as the starry flounder (Platichthys stellatus). The value of starry flounder (Platichthys stellatus) as a raw fish increases with time because it is tasty, light, and bouncy. In this paper, the growth characteristics dependent on the LED wavelengths and the optimal growth conditions of the starry flounder were studied. In these experiments 4 different kinds of LED lighting, configurations were designed and prepared using red, green, blue and white, respectively. The fish aquaculture experiments were conducted over 10 weeks in four fish tanks, each installed with a different color of LED lighting. 10 starry flounders of 13 ~ 17g were placed into each tank. The effects of each color of light on the growth rate of the starry flounders were then examined. As a result, the starry flounders under the green LED lighting showed the highest growth rate, followed by the white, red, and blue LED lighting. Based on these results, a green light provides a suitable breeding environment for the starry flounder.

We investigate the effect of soil-structure interaction (SSI) on the response of LNG storage tanks to vertical seismic excitation depending on the type of foundation. An LNG storage tank with a diameter of 71 m on a clay layer with a thickness of 30 m upon bedrock, was selected as an example. The nonlinear behavior of the soil was considered in an equivalent linear method. Four types of foundation were considered, including shallow, piled raft, and pile foundations (surface and floating types). In addition, the effect of soil compaction within the group pile on the seismic response of the tank was investigated. KIESSI-3D, an analysis package in the frequency domain, was used to study the SSI and the stress in the outer tank was calculated. Based on an analysis of the numerical results, we arrived at three main conclusions: (1) for a shallow foundation, the vertical stress in the outer tank is less than the fixed base response due to the SSI effect; (2) for foundations supported by piles, the vertical stress can be greater than the fixed base stress due to the increase in the vertical impedance due to the piles and the decrease in radiation damping; and (3) soil compaction had a miniscule impact on the seismic response of the outer tank.

A simple experimental method was developed to help students understand the effect of the Coriolis force on typhoon genesis and movement. It consists of rotating tanks with and without a sloping bottom, and a small stirrer to produce cyclonic typhoon-like vortices by locally stirring the water. Vortices were able to last for more than 3 minutes without dissipation in the rotating tank. However, vortices were hardly maintained without rotation, and would rather disappear as soon as the stirrer stopped mixing. Since the dynamical properties of the rotating water are similar to those of the atmosphere influenced by the Coriolis force, the experiments show that the Coriolis force is indispensable to the typhoon genesis. When the tank had both the sloping bottom and rotation, vortices would move in a particular direction. Considering the topographical beta effect, this result indicates that typhoons are drifted not only by the steering wind but also by the meridional gradient of the Coriolis force. The methodology developed in this study, would be useful for both students and teachers to better the relationship between the Coriolis force and the typhoon genesis.

The shipbuilding industry uses large stationary tanks to store low-pressure air, which is used to open and close large shut-off valves. However, when supplying air from the tank to a distant valve, there are problems related to the need for supplementary pipes and the pressure drop during transportation. In this study, a portable welded vessel for storing high-pressure nitrogen (11 kg, 10 L, and 50 bar) was designed to prevent air leakage and improve the convenience of workers. This pressure vessel was elliptical to reduce the number of welded parts, which are structurally weak. The thickness and ratio of the major and minor axes of the pressure vessel were calculated to verify its structure stability at the working pressure (50 bar), and that the proposed weight and capacity were satisfactory. The residual stress caused by the welding process was calculated by performing a transient thermal-structural coupled field analysis using the ANSYS parametric design language (APDL), and the fatigue life of the vessel was verified based on the Goodman criterion.

Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET) has gone through a rich amount of research and currently is making its way towards the deployment. However, surprisingly it evolved to rather more applications and services-rich breed referred to as VANET-based clouds due to the advancements in the automobile and communication technologies. Security and privacy have always been the challenges for the think tanks to deploy this technology on mass scale. It is even worse that some security issues are orthogonally related to each other such as privacy, revocation and route tracing. In this paper, we aim at a specific VANET-based clouds framework proposed by Hussain et al. namely VANET using Clouds (VuC) where VANET and cloud infrastructure cooperate with each other in order to provide VANET users (more precisely subscribers) with services. We specifically target the aforementioned conflicted privacy, route tracing, and revocation problem in VANET-based clouds environment. We propose a multiple pseudonymous approach for privacy reasons and leverage the beacons stored in the cloud infrastructure for both route tracing and revocation. In the proposed scheme, revocation authorities after colluding, can trace the path taken by the target node for a specified timespan and can also revoke the identity if needed. Our proposed scheme is secure, conditional privacy preserved, and is computationally less expensive than the previously proposed schemes.

The existence of high temperature equipment such as steam pipe, deaerator, steam storage tanks and main steam stop valves makes relatively higher workplace temperature in a power plant of the turbine building. In order to cool down the air temperature in the turbine building, the outside air flow with lower temperature passes through the window and the hotter air in the building is extracted to the outside by installing the ventilation fan on the roof. Nevertheless, higher temperature regions near the high temperature equipment still exist in the turbine building and additional fans for the temperature reduction in the higher temperature region should be examined for the optimal location and mass flow rate. The purpose of the present study is to suggest the optimized location and capacity of the additional ventilation fans for a comfortable working environment. From the present study, it has been elucidated that the additional ventilation fans might be located near the high temperature deaerator and it could reduce the mean temperature in the turbine building by $3.0^{\circ}C$ and the temperature near the deaerator could be reduced by $4.2^{\circ}C$.

Storage materials for a minimized storage system should be able to store much energy in small quantities, and to solve such a problem, salt hydrates such as CALCIUM CHLORIDE, SODIUM SULFATE, SODIUM PHOSPHATE etc. were considered as most suitable storage media in which phase change phenomena take place at low temperature. Therefore those salt hydrates were used as storage media in this study, and piped-storage tanks were manufactured vertically for the experiment. The characteristics of thermal storage media were investigated and the results are summarized as follows: 1. From the experiment of radial temperature distribution of vertical piped-storage system, the latent heat phenomenon did not occur in all storage media during heating process because of generations of heat due to the reduction in the number of water molecules. However, among those storage media CALCIUM CHLORIDE had most remarkable latent heat phenomenon during cooling process. Therefore CALCIUM CHLORIDE was considered as most suitable storage media. 2. Heat quantity transferred to the storage media was the largest in case of CALCIUM CHOLORIDE under the same conditions during heating and cooling process.
