Background : This study was conducted to investigate the effect of soluble silicate and germanium on the characteristics of soil and growth in ginseng (Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer) cultivated in blue-white plastic houses. Methods and Results : Seedlings (n = 63 per 3.3 ㎡) of Korean ginseng cultivar were planted on April 10, 2015. Shading material of plastic house [8 m (W) × 3.5 m (H) × 50 m (L)] was blue-white vinyl. From May to September of each year, 1,000 times diluted sol. of germanium and silicate and these mixed solutions were drenched once a month. The chemical properties of the soil are as follows : pH, EC, organic content, and P2O5 of the soil were within the proper range, and the Mg content of the Ex-cations was lower than the standard value in 3 treatments except treatment of germanium 1,000 times. The total nitrogen content was 0.13 - 0.14%, which was higher than the optimum value. The number of soil microorganisms (Actinomycetes etc.) was higher in the treatment than in the non-treatment of inorganic components. The photosynthetic rate of ginseng leaves was 2.25 μmole CO2/㎡/s in the non-treatment and 2.91 to 3.17 μmole CO2/㎡/s in the inorganic treated. The growth characteristics of the aerial parts (leaf and stem) of the ginseng plants were generally better than that of non-treatment. Especially, in the treatment with silicate 1,000 times showed better growth, leaf area and leaf width growth. The growth of the underground part (root weight etc.) were also better than non-treatment. Specially, at 1,000 ppm treatment with soluble silicate, the root length and diameter were longer and the weight was was 72.2 g per plant. The ginsenoside content of each treatment is under analysis. The disease incidence (Alternaria panax etc.) rate was 20.1% in the untreated and 6.4% to 10.0% in the inorganic components treatment. Conclusion : By soil drench of inorganic compononts such as soluble silicate in ginseng blue-white plastic house cultivation, the growth of the aerial and root parts in ginseng were more improved than non-treatment. There are a lot of soil microorganism and less disease.

Background : Atractylodes macrocephala is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the family Asteraceae and should be cultivated in field soils with good water dripping due to plant characteristics. However, cultivating farmers mainly have recently been cultivated in paddy soil due to their regional characteristics, which causes the decrease in yield due to poor drainage. Therefore, this study was carried out to investigate the cultivation in high ridge and subsoil breaking effect for stable paddy soils cultivation technology of A. macrocephala. Methods and Results : Soil was paddy soils in the fall of 2017, and the pH (1 : 5) was 6.61 ± 0.15 as a result of chemical and physical properties. EC was 0.49 ± 0.05 dS/m, and organic matter content was 28.69 ± 69 g/㎏ and effective phosphoric acid was 306 ± 17.8 ㎎/㎏. As a result of the soil layering survey, the surface layer was 0 - 26 ㎝ deep as paddy soil mounded with sandy loam in the past. In the surface layer, there was a light layer after 17 ㎝ depth, and volume density was 1.71 ± 1.3 g/㎤. The porosity of the plow pan was 33.41 ± 2.34%. The cultivation methods were cultivation in high ridge (30 ㎝ or more) and level row (10 ㎝ or less) at 2 levels and 3 repetitions. In subsoil breaking, the depth of the plow pan was increased from 17.1 ± 0.5 ㎝ before treatment to 31.1 ± 3.6 ㎝ after treatment and the hardness was 24.8 ± 1.5 ㎜. In the case of rotary plowing, the depth of the plow pan was 17.1 ± 1.9 ㎝ before treatment and 26 ± 2.4 ㎝ after treatment and the hardness was 25.8 ± 2.9 ㎜. The medium growth characteristics of A. macrocephala per treatment showed the tendency of increase in plant length, culm length, number of nodes, number of leaves, and fresh weight in level row cultivation after subsoil breaking. Root growth of cultivation in high ridge after subsoil breaking tended to be good with rhizome weight of 11.6 g per hill. The survival percentages were 98.8 - 100% and the bolting rate was 93.4 - 96.2% Conclusion : In cultivation in high ridge after subsoil breaking in the paddy field of Gangwon area, the decrease of yield of A. macrocephala due to drainage was expected to be alleviated, but final conclusion should be drawn after analyzing soil temperature and soil moisture data.

Background : The rhizome of ginger (Zingiber officinale) is widely used as a spice or a traditional medicine. It contains the phenolic compounds, such as gingerol, zingerone and shogaols as the major pungent compound. Ginger is commonly used for various types of "stomach problems," including motion sickness, colic, upset stomach, gas, diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), nausea. The cultivation area of ginger is 1,046 ha, and it is cultivated as 5th of 55 medicinal crops in Korea (2016). When ginger is cultivated in a vinyl house, the growing periods can be prolonged by early sowing and the yield is improved compared to the conventional cultivation. This experiment was carried out to investigated on growth, rhizome shape and yield as affected by the soil covering in rain-shelter greenhouse. Methods and Results : Seed ginger was planted on March 10 at 75 × 15 ㎝ planting density in greenhouse. The soil covering on furrow area was carried out on June 20, July 20 and August 20. The control, conventional cultivation was planted four rows on 120 ㎝ wide ridge. As a results of applying the soil covering, emergence was 2 - 3 days earlier than that of conventional cultivation. On November 5, samples were harvested for each treatment, and growth characteristics, tuber shape, and yield were investigated. As the number of soil-cover increased up to 3-times, the weight of the tuber increased to 44.4% and the length to 21.9% as compared with the control. However, as the number of soil-cover increased, workspace was needed, resulting in fewer seeding gingers and lower total yield. Therefore, it was advantageous to perform two times soil-cover to obtain the maximum yield. In the case of soil cultivation, the length of the foot was longer than that of conventional cultivation, and the quality was improved. Conclusion : From the above results, it is recommended that the soil covering is carried out twice at greenhouse’s cultivation. The first covering is in mid-June, and the second is in mid-July.

Background : We examined the inorganic compounds, compressive strength, yield, and functional substances of five steam-treated deciduous tree species to address the problem of the low degradation activity of conventional oak trees in the cultivation of Gastrodia elata in indoor facilities. Methods and Results : With the exception of Ca in cherry blossom tree (CBT), the content of the major inorganic elements (N, P, Mg, K, and Ca) in alternative trees were 1.5 - 3.6, 1.3 - 2.6, 3.3 - 5.3, 4.4 - 7.5, and 0.9 - 3.9 times those in oak (control group), respectively. The content of trace elements (Zn, Cu, Fe, and Mn) were equivalent to or slightly lower than those in oak, depending on tree species. The compressive strength of alternative trees was 9.3%–34.9% lower than that of oak. The compressive strength after steaming was lower in the order CBT (8.0%), mulberry tree (MBT: 7.0%), chestnut tree (CNT: 7.2%), Siebold's crab (SBC: 6.9%), black locust (BLL: 6.1%), and oak (5.4%). The total weight of oak was 893 g in comparison with the 1,107, 902, 952, 813, and 813 g of MBT, CNT, CBT, SBC, and BLL, respectively. The mature tuber and seed tuber ratios were 31%, 34%, 32%, 32%, 34%, and 30%, and 67%, 75%, 68%, 70%, 73%, and 65%, respectively. The yield index increased overall by 1% - 14%. Total weight after steaming increased by 10%, 18%, 14%, 16%, 20%, and 12% in oak, MBT, CNT, CBT, SCB, and BLL, respectively. Mature tuber and seed tuber ratios after steaming increased by 1%, 1%, 0%, 1%, and 2%, and 5%, 3%, 7%, 2%, 5%, and 5%, respectively. There were no significant difference among tree species in drying ratio, hardness, chromaticity for quality comparisons, and steaming. However, the results of functional substance analysis revealed significant differences in gastrodin, gastrodigenin, p-hydroxybenzaldehyde, and ergothioneine according to tree species. Conclusion : From the above results, we may believed that five tree species including MBT might have useful as alternative to oak when the cultivation of G. elata in Indoor Facilities.

본 연구는 array 코일을 이용한 검사 시 코일의 위치변화에 따른 신호강도를 측정하여 영상의 신호강도가 급격히 저하되지 않는 기준 방향과 거리를 제시함으로써, 동일선상에 코일들이 위치하지 않았을 경우 신호강도가 저하되는 문제점을 개선해 보고자 하였다. 연구방법은 두 부분으로 나눠져 있는 array 코일에 multi-purpose MRI 팬텀을 위치시킨 다음 array 코일의 앞부분을 상, 하, 좌, 우 네 방향으로 중심에서 2 cm씩 10 cm 까지 이동하며 영상을 획득한 후 신호강도를 측정하여 비교평가 하였다. 연구결과, T1, T2 강조영상 모두 상 방향을 제외한 하 방향과 좌, 우 방향의 위치변화가 2 cm 이내인 경우 기준 신호강도인 중심의 신호강도와 유의한 차이가 없어 동일한 신호강도를 나타냄을 알 수 있었다. 결론적으로 array 코일을 이용한 검사 시 여러 가지 원인에 의해 동일선상에 코일들을 위치시킬 수 없을 경우 상 방향을 제외한 나머지 방향의 위치변화를 중심에서 2 cm 이내로 설정한다면 위치변화로 인해 신호강도가 저하되는 문제점을 개선할 수 있다.

방사선 영상 기술은 피사체의 조성 및 두께에 따라 변화되는 X선의 흡수계수 차이를 기반으로 형성되는 대조도를 영상화하는 기술로서 영상 검출기에 입사하는 1차선 뿐 만 아니라 산란선이 영상 품질에 큰 영향을 미친다. 이에 본 연구에서는 피사체 두께, 조사야 변화에 따라 발생하는 산란선이 영상 품질에 미치는 영향을 고찰하고자 몬테카를로 시뮬레이션을 통하여 FSR 및 SPR 분석을 수행하였다. 연구 결과, 피사체 두께에 따른 FSR은 최대 15.3%p, SPR은 2.00 ~ 4.54로 분석되었으나, 조사야 변화에 대해서는 일정한 값을 유지하는 것으로 분석되었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 피사체 두께는 영상 품질에 영향을 미치는 인자로서 고려되어야 하지만, 조사야는 영상 품질에 영향을 미치지 못하는 인자임을 검증하였다. 이러한 본 연구 결과는 영상 품질 개선을 위한 산란선에 대한 기초 자료로서 활용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of long - term deterioration factor of 12 months on 6 kinds of coating waterproofing materials (polyurethane 1, 2, acrylic rubber, polyurea, rubber asphalt, cement - As a part of the study to characterize the performance change in material aspect, the research was carried out on the tensile strength of the polyurea coating waterproofing material against the performance change in the long term exposure to the chemical erosion environment. As shown in the test results, it was mainly performed in an acidic environment, and it can be confirmed that polyurea is not resistant to acid. In the alkali and sodium chloride environment, the tensile strength after immersion for the last 12 months showed a decrease in strength within about 10% of the initial tensile strength, and it was confirmed that the resistance was excellent in an alkali environment.

This study evaluated the duck growth performance and the economic benefits on using illite as a feed additive for ducks. Illite powder at three levels (0%, 1%, and 1.5%) was added to commercial duck diets, and fed to 180 one-day-old ducks (Pekin, 3 replicates, 20 ducks per pen) using a randomized block design for 39 days. During the experimental period, there were no significant growth performance differences between treatments (p>0.05), except with the feed conversion ratio (p<0.05), for all periods (8-39 days). In addition, the dietary supplementation of 1% and 1.5% illite did not significantly improve (p>0.05) Feed Intake Cost (FIC), Weight Gain Value (WGV), Meat Production Cost (MPC), Economic Efficiency (EE), Profitability (P), or cost benefit ratio for 8 to 21 d, 22 to 39 d, and 8 to 39 d. However, the differences in meat production cost and profitability between treatments were statistically significant (p<0.05) for all periods (8-39 d). In conclusion, adding 1% and 1.5% illite to duck diets is not beneficial for improving either the duck growth performance or the economic indicators.

Livestock manure treatments have become a more serious problem because massive environmental pollutions such as green and red tides caused by non-point pollution sources from livestock manures have emerged as a serious social issue. In addition, more food wastes are being produced due to population growth and increased income level. Since the London Convention has banned the ocean dumping of wastes, some other waste treatment methods for land disposal had to be developed and applied. At the same time, researches have been conducted to develop alternative energy sources from various types of wastes. As a result, anaerobic digestion as a waste treatment method has become an attractive solution. In this study has three objectives: first, to identify the physical properties of the mixture of livestock wastewater and food waste when combining food waste treatment with the conventional livestock manure treatment based on anaerobic mesophilic digestion; second, to find the ideal ratio of waste mixture that could maximize the collection efficiency of methane (CH4) from the anaerobic digestion process; and third, to promote CH4 production by comparing the biodegradability. As a result of comparing the reactors R1, R2, and R3, each containing a mixture of food waste and livestock manure at the ratio of 5:5, 7:3, and 3:7, respectively, R2 showed the optimum treatment efficiencies for the removal of Total Solids (TS) and Volatile Solids (VS), CH4 production, and biodegradability.

The development of GIS technology has enabled the analysis of heavy rainfall vulnerability based on spatial analysis. In general, spatial analysis is performed based on property data and spatial data. Spatial data and attribute data differ in the generation units due to various reasons. The difference in these units can also cause problems in the results of the analysis. In particular, the Modifiable Areal Unit Problem (MAUP) that occurs according to the spatial unit setting is the most representative. The Modifiable Temporal Unit Problem (MTUP), which occurs according to the recent time unit setting, is also being raised. In this study, we analyzed the vulnerability of heavy rainfall in consideration of MAUP and MTUP. To analyze the effect of the MAUP, different administrative units were constructed and analyzed. In Seoul, Busan, and Ulsan, there was a scale effect in which disaster vulnerability was analyzed differently according to the analysis unit. In order to analyze the impact of MTUP, the range of study period was configured differently. The impact of the temporal boundary, in which overall disaster characteristics change and disaster vulnerability changes, has been identified. Analysis of regional disaster vulnerability considering MAUP and MTUP will be effective not only for the study of heavy rainfall disaster but also for setting the standard of disaster prevention policy.

대한민국 첫 상업원전인 고리1호기는 40년간의 성공적인 운전을 끝내고 2017년 6월 18일 영구정지 되었다. 고리1호기는 본격적인 해체에 앞서 터빈건물에 폐기물처리시설 건설을 계획하고 있다. 각종 방사성폐기물은 폐기물처리시설에서 제염, 해체, 절단, 용융되어 자체처분 되거나 방사성폐기물 처분장으로 보내 진다. 해체폐기물 중 대형금속방사성폐기물은 주로 1차 계통측 기기들로 높은 방사능을 띄고 있어 해체활동 중 작업자의 피폭관리가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 대형금속방사성폐기물 중 크기가 가장 크고 형상이 복잡한 증기발생기를 선정하여 RESRAD-RECYCLE 코드를 이용하여 작업자 피폭선량을 평가하고 저감화 방안을 수립 하고자 한다.

최근 집중호우의 발생빈도가 증가하고 있으며, 이를 고려한 강우분석을 실시하여야 한다. 현재 수문설계를 위한 강우분석은 한반도 조밀도 36 km 인 기상청 관할 종관기상관측지점(Automated Surface Observing System, ASOS)의 시 단위 강우를 이용하고 있다. 이로 인해 같은 강우지점의 티센망에 포함되는 중소규모 유역은 동일한 확률강우량과 강우시간분포로 분석하게 됨으로 유역특성을 고려하지 못하는 문제가 발생한다. 또한, 10~20 km 범위 내에서 발생하는 집중호우의 시 ․ 공간적 변화를 고려하지 못하는 문제점이 발생한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 종관기상관측지점에 비해 상대적으로 조밀도가 우수한 방재기상관측지점(Automatic Weather System, AWS)의 분 단위 강우자료를 이용하여 집중호우를 고려한 확률강우량을 산정하였다. 또한, 유역에 적합한 Huff의 4분위 방법 산정을 위해 Case별 시간분포 산정과 유출분석을 실시하였다. 이는 집중호우와 유역특성을 반영한 설계수문량 산정에 크게 기여할 것으로 판단된다.

안면부 CT검사 시 치아교정용 충전물과 주변 해부학적 구조와의 밀도차이에 의해 발생한 화질 저하 정 도와 화질개선 방향을 실험을 통해 정량 및 정성적 분석방법을 통해 알아보고자 하였다. 실험은 64-MDCT (Discovery 750 HD, GE HEALTH CARE, Milwaukee, USA)를 사용하여 치아 충전물로 교정한 치아를 스캔 하였으며 관전압 변화, 실리콘 적용, MAR 알고리즘 적용 유무에 따라 비교하였다. 그 결과 관전압 변화 시 140 kVp에서 10.36 % CT value가 감소하였으며, Silicon 물질 적용 시 약 5.81 %가 감소하여 감소율이 가장 적었다. 정성적 평가결과 MAR 알고리즘 적용 시 관찰자 10명 중 Equivalent가 7명, Acceptable로 3명이 평가하여 MAR 알고리즘 적용 시 상대적으로 가장 화질 개선 효과가 있다고 평가되었다. 따라서 현재 임상 에서 사용하고 있는 검사 파라미터와 더불어 고밀도 인공물을 감소시킬 수 있는 다양한 알고리즘을 적용 하여 스캔 한다면 방사선 피폭선량에 대한 불필요한 부담을 줄일 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 고밀도 인공물을 감 소시켜 영상 데이터의 소실을 줄여 보다 많은 영상정보를 제공 할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

하복부 MRI 검사에서 환자는 body array coil과 물리적으로 접촉하여 검사를 받는다. 이 연구에서는 아크릴 보조장치(ACR)를 설계하여 코일과 환자의 비접촉식 스캔을 가능하게하고, ACR을 이용해서 획득 한 영상을 ACR 없이 얻은 영상와 비교하여 실현 가능성을 평가하였다. Ingenia 3.0TTM MR 시스템과 dStreamTM torso coil (Philips Healthcare, Netherlands)을 사용하여 10건(F : 5, m : 5)을 테스트하였다. 대표적인 두가지 pulse sequence(T1 AXE TSE, eTHRIVE (GRE))를 사용하여, 스캔 한 영상을 정량적, 정성적으로 비교 분석 하였다. 정성적으로 보면, TSE는 ACR의 유무에 관계없이 4.44와 4.56의 평균값을, GRE에서는 각각 4.34와 4.28을 보여준다. 정량적으로, TSE는 ACR 유무에 관계없이 12.15 CNR, 17.95 SNR 및 12.71 CNR, 18.96 SNR을 보였으며, GRE는 ACR이 있는 경우와 없는 경우 각각 17.72 CNR, 22.59 SNR 및 18.26 CNR, 24.47 SNR을 보여 주었다. 즉, ACR의 사용이 환자를 편안하게 하지만, 화질에는 큰 영향이 없음을 확인하였다. 우리는 하복부 환자의 MRI 검사용 아크릴 보조 장치를 설계하고 적용해보았다. 우리의 결과는 환자와의 물리적 접촉없이 현재의 복부 MRI 스캔과 유사한 이미지 품질을 얻을 수 있음을 보여주었다.

CBCT는 치료부위의 정확도 향상에 유용하지만, 반복적인 사용으로 피폭선량이 높아지는 단점이 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 차폐체를 사용한 모의실험과 선량감소 효과를 데이터화하여 CBCT 시행 시 선량 저감화를 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 MCNPX를 통해 CBCT를 모사하여 광자선을 분석한 후, UF-revised 인체 모의 피폭체를 대상으로 흉복부 촬영 시 장기의 흡수선량을 계산하였다. 이 때, 차폐체(납, 안티몬, 황산바륨, 텅스텐, 비스무 스) 유무와 차폐 재질에 따른 장기선량을 평가하였다. 차폐를 하지 않고 CBCT 촬영을 하였을 경우 유방과 척추에서 선량이 높게 계산되었으며, 식도와 폐에서 선량이 낮게 계산되었다. 차폐체 재질에 따른 선량은 황산바륨, 안티몬, 비스무스, 납, 텅스텐 순으로 선량이 높게 계산되었다. 차폐체 유무에 따른 선량 감소율을 평가해 보면 흉선(73.6%), 유방(59.9%)에서 가장 차폐율이 높고, 폐(2.1%), 척추(12.6%)에서 가장 낮은 차폐율을 보였다.

Local government should have waste treatment facilities to provide good service to local residents, even though private recycling is working. There was a problem with plastic waste management in Korea in 2018. Therefore, study was conducted on whether local government has the capacity to handle additional waste streams. The study was conducted, solely using government statistics, on domestic mixed solid waste. The amount of additional plastic waste to be disposed was 2,418 ton/day (incinerate 713 ton/day + landfill 1,705 ton/day), and paper waste was 4,469 ton/day (incinerate 1,104 ton/day + landfill 3,365 ton/day). Current incinerator capacity is sufficient, and if paper waste is added, the incinerator capacity is found to be under1,544 ton/day. Landfill capacity is sufficient even if plastic and paper waste is added, but the residual life of the landfill was reduced from 31.4 years to 25.4 years. Regionally, Gyeongbuk, Daejeon, Jeju, and Sejong should develop new plans for waste management.

Plastics, such as fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP), from vessels, nets, ropes and buoys that are found in marine materials are refined by various factors in the ocean. These microplastics are present in the surface, middle, deep and sedimentary layers of the ocean depending on their physical and chemical properties. In this study, the distribution characteristics of microplastics in mud flats are investigated and their sources are estimated. The highest percentage of microplastics consisted of blue paint fragments, which seemed to be paint from a ship. In addition, many fibrous microplastics were found in the surface layer of the mud flats. These results suggest that low-density fibers are partially retained on the surface of mud flats during high and low tide. The differences in the amount and types of microplastics at the survey sites are considered to be influenced by the surrounding environment, such as fishing vessels and farms.

A comprehensive water budget analysis considering the water consumed for landfill gas formation was performed for Sudokwon Landfill Site 2 (LS2) from October 2000 through December 2016. The weighted average mole ratios of carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O) of the total disposed waste were 30.4%, 48.8%, and 20.8% respectively. The total emitted H and O as CO2 and CH4 from landfill gas was 2,812×103 Mg, of which 28.6% (803×103 Mg) was supplied from water. The total emitted water quantity consisted of landfill gas at 8.4%, leachate at 90.2%, and vapor in landfill gas at 1.4%. The total supplied water quantity to LS2 was 22.0×106 Mg, and the quantity supplied from water included in disposed waste was 62.9%. Considering the supplied and emitted water quantity, the retained quantity in LS2 was estimated to be 12×106 Mg, and the emitted and retained quantities were 43.3% and 56.7%, respectively. Considering the retained quantity, the water content in LS2 was estimated to be 26.0%, far below the optimum level for landfill site stabilization.
