In the present work, we synthesize nano-sized ZnO, SnO2, and TiO2 powders by hydrothermal reaction using metal chlorides. We also examine the energy-storage characteristics of the resulting materials to evaluate the potential application of these powders to dye-sensitized solar cells. The control of processing parameters such as pressure, temperature, and the concentration of aqueous solution results in the formation of a variety of powder morphologies with different sizes. Nano-rod, nano-flower, and spherical powders are easily formed with the present method. Heat treatment after the hydrothermal reaction usually increases the size of the powder. At temperatures above 1000oC, a complete collapse of the shape occurs. With regard to the capacity of DSSC materials, the hydrothermally synthesized TiO2 results in the highest current density of 9.1 mA/cm² among the examined oxides. This is attributed to the fine particle size and morphology with large specific surface area.

A lean alloy is defined as a low alloy steel that minimizes the content of the alloying elements, while maintaining the characteristics of the sintered alloy. The purpose of this study is to determine the change in microstructure and mechanical properties due to the addition of silicon or tin in Fe-Mo-P, Fe-Mn-P, and Fe-Mo-Mn-P alloys. Silicon- or tin-added F-Mo-P, Fe-Mn-P, and Fe-Mo-Mn-P master alloys were compacted at 700 MPa and subsequently sintered under a H2-N2 atmosphere at 1120oC. The sintered density of three alloy systems decreases under the same compacting pressure due to dimensional expansion with increasing Si content. As the diffusion rate in the Fe- P-Mo system is higher than that in the Fe-P-Mn system, the decrease in the sintered density is the largest in the Fe-PMn system. The sintered density of Sn added alloys does not change with the increasing Sn content due to the effect of non-dimensional changes. However, the effect of Si addition on the transverse rupture strengthening enhancement is stronger than that of Sn addition in these lean alloys.

Squid is one of the important fisheries resources in Korea. Therefore, squid has been designated and managed as a target species of total allowable catch (TAC) since 2007, but the catch amount is gradually decreasing. The analysis was conducted to identify the change of relative fishing power index to develop the vessel and gear technology that may have improved the fishing efficiency of the offshore squid jigging fishery from 1960s to 2010s. Gross tonnage per fishing vessel increased with the increase in size until 1990, but then gradually decreased to 41.0 tons in 2000 and 37.1 tons in 2010. The illuminating power (energy consumption) by fishing lamps increased to 180 kW in 2005 and stabilized to 120 kW in 2015. Jigging machine started to be supplied to fishing vessels from the early 1970s, and fish finders began to be supplied in the early 1980s and gradually increased. Therefore, the relative fishing power index in the offshore squid jigging fishery increased from 1.0 in 1980 to 1.1 in 1990, to 3.5 in 2000 and to 2.5 in 2010, but the increment rate slowed down gradually. The results are expected to contribute to reasonable fisheries stock management.

PURPOSES: Most of the traffic surveys are carried out by an inspection method by the manpower. In some cases, the video equipment is used only in some regions when the traffic volume is surveyed. In this case, there is environmental restriction that the road equipment to fix the video equipment should exist. Also, in areas where information such as digital maps and satellite photographs is old or not provided, they are forced to rely on manpower research, but it is difficult to put huge amounts of time and money into the research in places where labor supply and demand is difficult. This difficulty is particularly pronounced in overseas business. METHODS : The purpose of this study is to improve the efficiency of business by using the drones in the traffic investigation through analysis of the cost reduction effect between the existing method and the proposed method in the overseas business traffic survey. The scope of the research is limited to the scope of research, and based on the case of overseas projects, the method of using drone for each research sector is suggested. RESULTS: In the traffic condition survey section, we propose the use of drone for traffic survey and queue length survey, and it is confirmed that there is a cost saving effect of 16% ~ 27% compared with the existing method. In the road condition survey, we propose the use of drones for road surface linear survey, geometry survey, and obstacle survey, and it was confirmed that the cost reduction effect is 39% ~ 93% compared to the existing method. CONCLUSIONS: In addition to overseas business, it is expected that it will have a positive effect on research time and cost reduction by using drone in traffic survey in domestic area where labor supply is not easy or basic data is insufficient.

Prior to the design and production stages of the center pillar, the structural analysis must be carried out at the concept stage. Commercial softwares for the structural analysis provide benefits such as performance prediction and deformation. In this study, the structural analysis using SolidWorks was performed to investigate the stress and displacement characteristics of the center pillar for two types of collision positions and velocities. As the impact velocity increased, the maximum equivalent stress and displacement of the center pillar were larger. In the case of passenger cars, the equivalent stress and displacement according to the velocity change increased by about 133% and 116% at 16.5m/s , based on 5.5m/s . Also, the equivalent stress and displacement in the SUV car increased by about 119% and 378%, respectively

The cooling operating characteristics of the 3 room air conditioner are experimentally investigated for the number of the indoor units (A, B, C) and the operating conditions (standard, overload) under the cooling operation. The cooling capacity and COP were calculated using a multi-type calorimeter. Also, EEV opening, compressor frequency, and superheat degree were obtained when the compressor started. From the experimental results, we can see that the performance and operation characteristics of the air conditioner depend on the indoor unit operation method. In case of simultaneous and single operation, the cooling overload performance was measured lower than the standard condition. Also, in the overload operation, the power consumption of the compressor was greatly increased and the COP was also decreased.

Prior to the experimental and production stages of the center pillar, a structural analysis must be carried out at the design stage. The commercial software for the structural analysis at the design stage provides benefits such as cost-effective and time economy. In this study, the structural analysis was performed to investigate the stress and displacement characteristics of the center pillar for five types of the applied loads using SolidWorks. The equivalent stress was relatively larger on the outside plate than the inside plate. The maximum equivalent stress according to the change of the applied loads increased linearly in the range of 47~181%. The deformation was larger at the upper end of the center pillar, and the maximum displacement was linearly increased in the range of 35~187%. The analysis results of the center pillar according to the applied loads show that the location and distribution of the maximum stress and displacement of the center pillar can be predicted.

For diamond/metal composites it is better to use diamond particles coated with metal carbide because of improved wettability between the diamond particles and the matrix. In this study, the coating of diamond particles with a chromium carbide layer is investigated. On heating diamond and chromium powders at 800~900 oC in molten salts of LiCl, KCl, CaCl2, the diamond particles are coated with Cr7C3. The surfaces of the diamond powders are analyzed using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The average thickness of the Cr7C3 coating layers is calculated from the result of the particle size analysis. By using the molten salt method, the Cr7C3 coating layer is uniformly formed on the diamond particles at a relatively low temperature at which the graphitization of the diamond particles is avoided. Treatment temperatures are lower than those in the previously proposed methods. The coated layer is thickened with an increase in heating temperature up to 900 oC. The coating reaction of the diamond particles with chromium carbide is much more rapid in LiCl-KCl-CaCl2 molten salts than with the molten salts of KCl-CaCl2.

Tungsten oxide(WO3) films with uniform surface morphology are fabricated using a spin-coating method for applications of electrochromic(EC) devices. To improve the EC performances of the WO3 films, we control the heating rate of the annealing process to 10, 5, and 1 oC/min. Compared to the other samples, the WO3 films fabricated at a heating rate of 5 oC/min shows superior EC performances for transmittance modulation(49.5 %), response speeds(8.3 s in a colored state and 11.2 s in a bleached state), and coloration efficiency(37.3 cm2/C). This performance improvement is mainly related to formation of a uniform surface morphology with increased particle size without any cracks by an optimized annealing heating rate, which improves the electrical conductivity and electrochemical activity of the WO3 films. Thus, the WO3 films with a uniform surface morphology prepared by the optimized annealing heating rate can be used as a potential candidate for performance improvement of the EC devices.

본 실험은 LED 광원이 시금치 품종 별 생육, 잎 형태 변화 및 세포 길이에 대한 영향을 구명하고자 수행하였다. 최아된 시금치(Spinacia oleracea.) 품종 ‘월드스타’와 ‘수시로’를 버미큘라이트에 육묘한 후 NFT 시스템에 정식 한 뒤 LED 적색광(R), 청색광(B), 혼합광(적색:청색=2:1)(RB) 및 백색광(W)에서 130μmol·m-2·s-1 PPFD 광도로 25일간 재배하였다. 정식 후 일주일 간격으로 25일 동안 엽장, 엽폭, 엽병, 엽수, 광합성률을 측정하였고, 상편생장지수(leaf epinasty index, LEI)는 잎이 최대로 전개된 후에 측정하였다. 상편생장이 발생된 잎 가운데와 가장자리를 자른 조직의 세포길이, 폭 및 세포면적은 400배율 광학현미경을 이용하여 측정하였다. 정식 후 25일째에는 엽면적, 뿌리길이, 지상부 및 지하부의 생체중, 건물중을 조사하였다. 지상부 생체중과 건물중, 엽수, 엽면적 모두 월드스타 품종이 수시로 품종에 비해 유의적으로 높았다. 건물중은 월드스타 품종의 경우 혼합광(RB)와 적색광(R) 두 처리구에서 청색광(B)와 흰색광(W) 두 처리보다 약 35% 유의적으로 높았다. 수시로 품종의 경우 혼합광(RB) 처리구에서 지상부 건물중이 가장 높아 건물중이 가장 낮았던 흰색광(W) 처리구에 비해 40% 높은 건물중 결과를 보였다. 두 품종 모두 혼합광(RB)와 적색광(R) 두 처리구에서만 정식 21일 이후 잎 상편생장(leaf epinasty)이 나타났고 적색광(R) 처리구에서 혼합광(RB) 처리구 보다 유의적으로 높아 잎 상편 생장은 적색광(R)과 관련이 있는 것을 알 수 있었다. 잎 가운데와 가장자리 부위 세포크기를 현미경으로 관찰한 결과 두 품종 모두 상편생장이 나타난 적색광(R) 처리구의 잎 가장자리 세포밀도가 잎 가운데 보다 낮은 것으로 나타나 앞서 보고된 연구결과들에서 제시한 상편생장과 잎 가운데와 가장자리 부위의 세포크기 차이 연관성을 뒷받침하고 있다. 또한 청색광(B)이 적색광(B)에서 발생되는 상편생장을 완화시켜주는 역할을 하는 것으로 보여 앞으로 두 광원의 적절한 혼합비율 규명이 필요한 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 엽형 변화가 심했던 수시로 품종보다는 월드스타 품종이 LED 광원을 이용한 식물공장 재배에 더 적합한 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구의 목적은 2단 베드 벤치 시스템에서 딸기를 재배하는 동안 상단베드에 의한 차광으로 광량 부족한 하단 베드에서 자란 딸기의 생산량 및 과일 품질에 LED 보광의 영향을 확인하기 위한 것이다. 딸기 전용상 토로 충진된 2단 베드 벤치에 2015년 10월부터 2016년 1월까지 점적 관수로 딸기를 재배하였다. LED 광이 처리되지 않은 상단과 하단 베드를 대조구로 이용하였고, LED 광 처리를 위해서 오전 10시부터 오후 4시까지 하 단 베드에 각각 청색, 적색, 그리고 청색과 적색을 혼합 한 LED 광을 100μmol·m-2·s-1의 광량으로 보광 하였다. 딸기의 수확량에 있어서, 하단 베드의 청색 LED 보광된 처리에서 자란 딸기는 하단 부분 대조구와 비교하여 유의하게 증가되었으며, 상단 베드 대조구에서 자란 딸기 생산량의 90% 수준까지 증가되었다. 청색 및 혼합 LED와 상단베드에서 생육된 딸기 과일의 유리당 함량은 적색 LED와 하단 베드 부위 대조구에 비하여 높았다. 안토시아닌의 함량은 자연 광을 많이 받는 상단 베드에서 생육된 딸기 과일이 가장 높았지만, 하단베드 처리만을 비교하할 때, LED를 보광한 모든 딸기과일이 보광하지 않은 하단 부분의 대구조의 딸기 과일보다 높았다. 따라서 딸기 2단 베드 재배 시 하단 베드에 청색 LED 보광이 생산 증대 및 품질 향상에 유리할 것으로 판단된다.

We perform density functional theory calculations to study the CO and O2 adsorption chemistry of Pt@X core@shell bimetallic nanoparticles (X = Pd, Rh, Ru, Au, or Ag). To prevent CO-poisoning of Pt nanoparticles, we introduce a Pt@X core-shell nanoparticle model that is composed of exposed surface sites of Pt and facets of X alloying element. We find that Pt@Pd, Pt@Rh, Pt@Ru, and Pt@Ag nanoparticles spatially bind CO and O2, separately, on Pt and X, respectively. Particularly, Pt@Ag nanoparticles show the most well-balanced CO and O2 binding energy values, which are required for facile CO oxidation. On the other hand, the O2 binding energies of Pt@Pd, Pt@Ru, and Pt@Rh nanoparticles are too strong to catalyze further CO oxidation because of the strong oxygen affinity of Pd, Ru, and Rh. The Au shell of Pt@Au nanoparticles preferentially bond CO rather than O2. From a catalysis design perspective, we believe that Pt@Ag is a better-performing Ptbased CO-tolerant CO oxidation catalyst.

Particle size reduction is an important step in many technological operations. The process itself is defined as the mechanical breakdown of solids into smaller particles to increase the surface area and induce defects in solids, which are needed for subsequent operations such as chemical reactions. To fabricate nano-sized particles, several tens to hundreds of micron size ceramic beads, formed through high energy milling process, are required. To minimize the contamination effects during highenergy milling, the mechanical properties of zirconia beads are very important. Generally, the mechanical properties of Y2O3 stabilized tetragonal zirconia beads are closely related to the mechanism of phase change from tetragonal to monoclinic phase via external mechanical forces. Therefore, Y2O3 distribution in the sintered zirconia beads must also be closely related with the mechanical properties of the beads. In this work, commercially available 100μm-size beads are analyzed from the point of view of microstructure, composition homogeneity (especially for Y2O3), mechanical properties, and attrition rate.

Needle-like NiO protecting layers on NiCrAl alloy foam, used as support for hydrogen production, are introduced through electroplated Ni and subsequent microwave annealing. To improve the stability of the NiCrAl alloy foam, oxygen concentration of microwave annealing to form a needle-like NiO layer with good chemical stability and corrosion resistance is controlled in a range of 20 and 50 %. As the oxygen concentration increases to 50 %, needle-like NiO forms a dense coating layer on the NiCrAl alloy foam; this layer formation can be attributed to accelerated growth of the (200) plane. In addition, the increased oxygen concentration causes increased NiO/Ni ratio of the resultant coating layer on NiCrAl alloy foam due to improved rate of the oxidation reaction. As a result, the introduction of dense needle-like NiO layers formed at 50 % oxygen concentration improves the chemical stability of the NiCrAl alloy foam by protecting the direct electrochemical reaction between the electrolyte and the foam. Thus, needle-like NiO can be proposed as a superb protecting layer to improve the chemical stability of NiCrAl alloy form.

본 연구는 도로변 선형의 가로녹지 조성이 고밀시가지 대로와 건물 사이에 조성한 보행로 및 오픈스페이스의 미세먼지 농도에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고자 부산시 중앙대로와 부산광역시청 건물 사이에 폭 약 70m로 조성된 오픈스페이스를 대상으로 연구를 진행하였다. 조사결과 가로녹지가 없는 지역의 경우 주중과 주말 모두 차도와 인접한 오픈스페이스의 농도차이가 미미하였으나, 반대로 가로녹지가 조성되어 있는 지역은 차도에 비해 오픈스페이스의 농도가 현저히 높음을 확인할 수 있었다. 특히 가로녹지가 조성된 지역은 차도와 보도 모두에서 미조성지역보다 미세먼지량이 높게 나타나고 있어 차도와 건축물 사이가 넓은 공간의 경우 가로녹지의 조성이 전체적으로 도로 밖 오픈스페이스의 미세먼지농도를 높이는 효과를 보였으며, 특히 차도보다 오픈스페이스에 미치는 영향이 더 큰 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 현상은 차량에 의해 발생한 미세먼지가 빠른 바람흐름에 의해 가로변 관목림을 통과하지만 바람흐름이 줄어든 보행공 간에서는 확산이 이루어지지 않아 발생하는 것으로 판단되었다. 본 연구에서와 같이 넓은 오픈스페이스를 확보하고 있는 도심 도로변 지역의 경우에는 가로녹지가 오히려 바람에 의한 확산을 억제하여 하여 차량이동에 따른 부유 미세먼 지를 녹지 내부에 가두어 보도를 포함한 오픈스페이스의 미세먼지 농도를 높이는 것으로 확인되었다. 도로에서 발생하는 미세먼지를 줄이기 위한 가로녹지의 조성에 있어 도로와 건물의 거리는 매우 중요하게 작용하는 것을 확인하였다.

In the present study, the white reduction system was designed and manufactured to evaluate the performance of a heat exchange system using a wave heat exchanger. The reducing effect of white smoke and the amount of heat recovered from cooling water were investigated experimentally using the cooling and dehumidifying method. The white smoke reduction system consists of two parts; the generating part and the reducing part of white smoke. Experimental conditions on EA(exhaust air) and SW(supply water) were fixed. And the outlet temperature and absolute humidity of EA were measured according to inlet velocity of SA(supply air). The outlet temperatures and absolute humidities of EA gradually decreased as inlet velocities of SA increased. From the experimental results, we can see that the absolute humidity reduction rate of EA was max. 84%, and the heat recovery rate of SW was max. 42%.

In this study, the structural analysis was performed by using Solidworks program to investigate the stress and displacement characteristics of upper desk and table arm depending on the types and positions of load applied to the height-adjustable table(Cases 1, 2, 3, 4). The simulation was used to model the table and create the mesh for computational analysis. The height-adjustable table consists of three parts, upper desk, table arm and support body. Case 3 with the side concentrated load showed the maximum stress and maximum displacement at table arm and upper desk. From the stress and displacement characteristics of the upper desk and table arm, the stresses at the bending part of table arm and the deflection at the front part of upper desk were the greatest.

Cu(II) can cause health problem for human being and phosphate is a key pollutant induces eutrophication in rivers and ponds. To remove of Cu(II) and phosphate from solution, chitosan as adsorbent was chosen and used as a form of hydrogel bead. Due to the chemical instability of hydrogel chitosan bead (HCB), the crosslinked HCB by glutaraldehyde (GA) was prepared (HCB-G). HCB-G maintained the spherical bead type at 1% HCl without a loss of chitosan. A variety of batch experiment tests were carried out to determine the removal efficiency (%), maximum uptake (Q, mg/g), and reaction rate. In the single presence of Cu(II) or phosphate, the removal efficiency was obtained to 17 and 16%, respectively. However, the removal efficiency of Cu(II) and phosphate was increased to 50~55% at a mixed solution. The maximum uptake (Q) for Cu(II) and phosphate was enhanced from 11.3 to74.4 mg/g and from 3.34 to 36.6 mg/g, respectively. While the reaction rate of Cu(II) and phosphate was almost finished within 24 and 6 h at single solution, it was not changed for Cu(II) but was retarded for phosphate at mixed solution.

In this paper, the recovery and nanoparticle synthesis of Ag from low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) by-products are studied. The effect of reaction behavior on Ag leaching conditions from the LTCC by-products is confirmed. The optimum leaching conditions are determined to be: 5 M HNO3, a reaction temperature of 75℃, and a pulp density of 50 g/L at 60 min. For the selective recovery of Ag, the [Cl]/[Ag] equivalence ratio experiment is performed using added HCl; most of the Ag (more than 99%) is recovered. The XRD and MP-AES results confirm that the powder is AgCl and that impurities are at less than 1%. Ag nanoparticles are synthesized using a chemical reduction process for recycling, NaBH4 and PVP are used as reducing agents and dispersion stabilizers. UV-vis and FE-SEM results show that AgCl powder is precipitated and that Ag nanoparticles are synthesized. Ag nanoparticles of 100% Ag are obtained under the chemical reaction conditions.
