In the dismantling of nuclear power plants, various forms of radioactive gaseous waste are generated when cutting concrete and metal structures. Large amounts of radioactive dust and aerosols generated during the cutting process of each structure can cause radiation exposure to the environment around the workplace and to the radiation exposure in the body of workers. When cutting structures, water is sprayed to reduce the generation of aerosols, so early saturation of the filter is expected due to radioactive aerosols and fine particles containing a large amount of moisture. A mobile air purification device is being developed to a fast and efficient air purifier that can be used for a long time operation to protect workers from radiation exposure in high radiation areas and to minimize the amount of secondary waste generated. In this paper, the direction for a new concept of unit technology that can achieve the development purpose is described.

Although the proportion of coal-fired power generation is decreasing, efficient operating technology is needed to continuously invest in facilities and reduce maintenance costs until it is abolished. Boilers, one of the main facilities of power plants, operate for a long time in harsh environments of high temperature and high pressure. In addition, damage due to deterioration is likely to occur depending on the fuel and tube material used. It is very important to judge soundness because damage caused by deterioration adversely affects facility operation. Previously, replication method was used to analyze the progress of deterioration. In the replication method, pre-treatment such as chemical treatment is performed on the boiler tube in the field, the area is reproduced by attaching a film, and the replicated film is determined by an expert in the laboratory with an expensive microscope. However, this method involves substantial costs and time requirements, as well as the possibility of human errors. To address these issues, we developed a mobile health assessment system in this research. Since it is detachable and takes images in real time, this system enables swift evaluations across a broad range and facilitates the assessment of preprocessing quality. In addition, it was intended to reduce existing human mistakes by developing a degradation classification algorithm using the merger cluster method.

This study assessed the measurement technique of odorous substances using a GC/MOS system with MOS sensor at the detector and the method detection limits were determined for odorous substances such as hydrogen sulfide, acetaldehyde, toluene, m,pxylene, and o-xylene. The portable GC/MOS system was able to separate and measure about 16 out of 22 odorous substances including sulfur compounds, aldehydes, and VOCs. The peak values for hydrogen sulfide, acetaldehyde, toluene, m,p-xylene, and o-xylene showed a nonlinear relationship with concentration and a correlation coefficient of 0.95 or higher was confirmed. The method detection limits for hydrogen sulfide, acetaldehyde, toluene, m.pxylene, and o-xylene using the portable GC/MOS system were determined to be 0.005, 0.023, 0.016, 0.004, and 0.051 ppm, respectively. It is expected that the system can measure odor samples with concentrations of least 50 ppb without additional pretreatment or concentration processes.

Background: The Natural killer cell activity measurement test of the ELISA method developed by company A could have many economic benefits in terms of cost and time compared to the existing 'cytotoxicity test method'. A portable incubator capable of culturing the specimen while moving was developed as a way to save test time and secure the stability of the specimen when transferring the specimen to the entrusted institution. Objectives: This study investigated efficacy evaluation of NK cell activity measurement in a portable incubator. Design: Experimental research. Methods: 100 participants were selected to measure NK cell activity. The collected blood was placed in a general incubator and a portable incubator at the same time to start culturing, and the plasma was separated by centrifugation. The NK cell activity test was measured by enzyme immunometry. Results: In the verification of the culturing performance of the developed portable incuvator, no significance was found between the general incuvator and the portable incuvator, and the same performance was maintained in culture. Conclusion: Portable incubators have a great effect on shortening the test time and securing the stability of samples.

작물 수분스트레스 지수(CWSI; Crop Water Stress Index)를 통해 관개 시기를 판단할 경우, 정확한 잎의 온도 및 대기 환경을 측정하는 것이 중요하다. 그리하여 본 연구에서는 실시간으로 작물의 생체정보(엽온) 및 대기 환경(대기온·습도, 일사량)을 측정하고 자동으로 CWSI 값이 산정되는 휴대용 수분스트레스 계측기기를 개발하였다. 또한 휴대용 수분스트레스 계측기기와 고정식 온도 측정 방법과의 비교 분석을 통해 휴대용 수분스트레스 계측기기의 성능을 평가하고자 하였다. 본 계측기기는 CWSI 산정을 위한 생체신호 및 기상 데이터를 측정하는 센싱부, 측정된 데이터를 저장하고 CWSI를 산정하는 데이터 수집부, 장치의 기능을 조작하고 측정값을 표시하는 시스템 제어부로 구성하였다. T-test를 실시하여 두 계측 방법에서 측정된 엽온, 일사량, CWSI 평균값의 유의 관계를 분석한 결과, 유의확률은 0.089, 0.318 그리고 0.028로 각각 나타났다. 엽온과 일사량은 유의수준 0.05보다 크므로 유의미한 차이가 나타나지 않았지만 CWSI는 유의확률이 유의수준보다 작으므로 두 측정 방법에 따라 유의미한 차이가 나타났다.

PURPOSES : The retroreflectivity of pavement markings for road safety was evaluated. METHODS : Field tests of pavement markings, which are characters, symbols, crosswalks, and stop lines, but do not include line markings, were conducted using a portable retroreflectometer with the purpose of evaluating the retroreflectivity according to the type of pavement markings and roads. Furthermore, changes in retroreflectivity due to wheel passing and wet conditions were evaluated. Here, 192 test points for evaluating the retroreflectivity of pavement markings, 5 test points for evaluating reductions in retroreflectivity during conditions of wetness, and 28 test points for checking variability due to type of testing device were selected on major and minor arterial roads in Seoul. RESULTS : The average retroreflectivity of pavement markings measured in this study was 115.7 (mcd/m2·lux), which is lower than the minimum retroreflectivity required six months after installation but higher than the minimum remarking retroreflectivity required by Seoul city. The retroreflectivity of pavement markings measured on minor arterial roads was 69.1% of that on major arterial roads. The average retroreflectivity of pavement markings was reduced to 43.1% by wheel passing, which is below the remarking criterion. The average retroreflectivity measured on wet pavement markings was 43.7 (mcd/m2·lux), which is a ninth of that under dry conditions. The test results showed that retroreflectivity in the rain was much lower than the required value in the case of rain, which is 175 mcd/m2·lux, as issued by Seoul city. Compared with mobile retroreflectometers, a portable retroreflectometer produced 17% higher retroreflectivity based on the results of 28 test points. CONCLUSIONS : Based on the field tests, the retroreflectivity of pavement markings, i.e., characters, symbols, crosswalks, and stop lines, was higher than the average remarking criterion. However, the retroreflectivities of pavement markings passed by the wheel or in rain were lower than the remarking criteria. Considering that the remarking criteria in Seoul city are higher than those in Europe and the test results in this study indicate much lower values than those required in Seoul, further study is necessary to be able to properly modify the criteria for retroreflectivity.

This paper suggests a nonlinear pressure consideration scheme through an unsteady pipe network analyzer for leakage detection with a portable pressure wave generator. In order to evaluate the performance of a proposal scheme, linear input pattern has been simulated and experiments had been carried out under both no leakage and one leakage conditions in a reservoir-pipeline-valve system. This method using portable pressure wave generator showed that a leakage can be detected from a reflection where a leakage is originated through time domain analysis. Meaningful similarity in pressure response between nonlinear input pattern and experimental results were found both no leakage and a leakage conditions.

The purpose of this study is to create a new odor analysis technology that combines the separation technology of GC and the measurement of MOS sensors. The detector of the GC system is replaced with the MOS sensor to analyze various odor compounds. Carrier gas also used air in the normal atmosphere through a micro pump. Therefore, it is possible to develop a portable odor analysis device since no additional cylinder is needed. Retention times for H2S, C7H8, and C2H4O analyzed by the combined GC/MOS system were identified as 1.28 minutes, 3.88 minutes and 1.77 minutes, respectively. Measurement reproducibility of odorous RT was very good at less than 1.2 %RSD. Also, the magnitude of the peak as a result of changes in the concentration of each odor showed a linear proportional relationship. Thus, a new method could be proposed to analyze various odorous substances with the combined GC/MOS system.

In order to increase the production efficiency of the ship and shorten the production cycle, it is important to evaluate the accuracy of the ship components efficiently during the drying cycle. The accuracy control of the block is important for shortening the ship process, reducing the cost, and improving the accuracy of the ship. Some systems have been developed and used mainly in large shipyards, but in some cases, they are measured and managed using conventional measuring instruments such as tape measure and beam, optical instruments as optical equipment, In order to perform accuracy control, these tools and equipment as well as equipment for recording measurement data and paper drawings for measuring the measurement position are inevitably combined. The measured results are managed by the accuracy control system through manual input or recording device. In this case, the measurement result is influenced by the work environment and the skill level of the worker. Also, in the measurement result management side, there are a human error about the lack of the measurement result creation, the lack of the management sheet management, And costs are lost in terms of efficiency due to consumption. The purpose of this study is to improve the working environment in the existing accuracy management process by using the augmented reality technology to visualize the measurement information on the actual block and to obtain the measurement information And a smart management system based on augmented reality that can effectively manage the accuracy management data through interworking with measurement equipment. We confirmed the applicability of the proposed system to the accuracy control through the prototype implementation.
