In this study, the malt residue was torrefied. The torrefaction of malt residue was investigated in a horizontal tubular reactor under nitrogen flow at a temperature ranging from 200 to 450℃. This study presents the effects of torrefaction on the basic characteristics of malt residue. The torrefied malt residue products were characterized in terms of their energy yield, ash content and volatile fraction. The gaseous products were also analyzed. It was found that the malt residue undergoes changes in their physical and chemical properties during torrefaction. Furthermore, the energy and mass yield were found to decrease with an increase in the torrefaction temperature, whereas the higher heating value increased gradually up to 450℃ on increasing the torrefaction temperature.

It was observed from the test results that splitting tensile strength and flexural strength of the cementitious composites were significantly improved than plain mortar but compressive strength and elastic modulus were only a slightly increased.

The purpose of this research is to evaluate the standard deviation and coefficient of variation for flexural strength of lathe scrap reinforced cementitious composites. For this purpose, the cementitious composites containing lathe scrap were repeatedly made 5 times for water-binder ratio of 30%, 2mm width and 40mm length of lathe scrap, and then the standard deviation and coefficient of variation of the cementitious composites were estimated.

Soybean is one of the important food crop around the world. Especially in East Asia, it is the main ingredient for traditional food like soy sauce and soy paste. The double cropping system including soybean following onion, Chinese cabbage, and potato is widely adopted in Southern region of Korea. In this system, sowing date of second crop (soybean) can be delayed depending on first crops’ growth period and weather condition. When planting date is delayed it is known that soybean yield is declined because of shorter vegetative growth period and earlier flowering induced by warm temperature and changes in photoperiod. The objective of this study was to determine soybean growth and yield responses as plant populations at late planting date. Field experiment was conducted at Department of Functional Crop, National Institute of Crop Science, RDA located in Miryang, Gyeongsangnam-Do for two years (‘13-’14) in upland field with mid-late maturity cultivar Daewon. A split-plot block design was used with three replications. Main plots were three sowing dates from June 20 to July 20 with 15 days intervals, and subplots were 4 levels of planting densities. Data of maturity (R8) was recorded, yield components and yield were examined after harvesting. Experimental data were analyzed by using PROC GLM, and DMRT were used for mean comparison. Optimum planting population for maximizing soybean yield in late planting which compared with standard population. In mid-June planting, higher planting density causes increased plant height and decreased diameter which lead to higher risk of lodging, however, reduced growth period due to late planting alleviated this problem. Therefore higher seeding rates can provide protection against low seedling emergence caused by late planting in this region.

정밀안전진단시 콘크리트 강도를 추정하기 위한 방법으로 강도추정식을 이용한 방법이 많이 사용되며, 이용되는 추정식은 외국에서 이미 제안된 식이 대부분이고, 적용되는 추정식에 따라서 추정강도의 차이가 심하게 발생하며, 전반적으로 강도추정의 신뢰도가 낮아져 정밀안전진단 결과의 신뢰성에도 상당한 영향을 미친다. 이런 문제점은 일부 국한된 부분에서 발생하게 되어 다수의 실험을 통하여 신뢰도를 높일 수 있다. 본 논문은 이와 같은 필요성을 포괄하기 위해 실내압축강도와 관련된 신뢰도 평가식을 제안하였다. 확률론적 기법을 이용하여 신뢰도 평가식의 유용성을 검증하였으며 실내압축강도와 추정압축강도의 추이 그래프를 비교하였다. 비교결과, 본 연구에서 제시된 신뢰도 평가식의 유용성을 확인하였다.

Abstract PS-D2EHPA beads were prepared by immobilizing di-2-ethylhexyl-phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) with polysulfone (PSf). The removal experiments of Cu(II) and Pb(II) by the prepared PS-D2EHPA beads were conducted batchwise. The removal efficiency of Cu(II) and Pb(II) by PS-D2EHPA beads was increased with increasing pH of solution. The removal rate of Cu(II) and Pb(II) was well described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The maximum removal capacity of Cu(II) and Pb(II) obtained from Langmuir isotherm were 2.58 mg/g and 12.63 mg/g, respectively. External mass transfer coefficients for the removal of Cu(II) and Pb(II) by PS-D2EHPA beads were obtained 0.61×10-2∼ 5.87×10-2 /min and 1.55×10-2∼8.53×10-2 /min, respectively and diffusion coefficients were obtained 1.32×10-4∼ 3.98×10-4 cm2/min and 1.80×10-4∼2.28×10-4 cm2/min, respectively.

This paper proposes an underwater localization algorithm using probabilistic object recognition. It is organized as follows; 1) recognizing artificial objects using imaging sonar, and 2) localizing the recognized objects and the vehicle using EKF(Extended Kalman Filter) based SLAM. For this purpose, we develop artificial landmarks to be recognized even under the unstable sonar images induced by noise. Moreover, a probabilistic recognition framework is proposed. In this way, the distance and bearing of the recognized artificial landmarks are acquired to perform the localization of the underwater vehicle. Using the recognized objects, EKF-based SLAM is carried out and results in a path of the underwater vehicle and the location of landmarks. The proposed localization algorithm is verified by experiments in a basin.

Acoustic signal is crucial for the autonomous navigation of underwater vehicles. For this purpose, this paper presents a method of acoustic source localization. The proposed method is based on the probabilistic estimation of time delay of acoustic signals received by two hydrophones. Using Bayesian update process, the proposed method can provide reliable estimation of direction angle of the acoustic source. The acquired direction information is used to estimate the location of the acoustic source. By accumulating direction information from various vehicle locations, the acoustic source localization is achieved using extended Kalman filter. The proposed method can provide a reliable estimation of the direction and location of the acoustic source, even under for a noisy acoustic signal. Experimental results demonstrate the performance of the proposed acoustic source localization method in a real sea environment.

Anaerobic Baffled Reactor(ABR)는 혐기성 소화 공정 중 하나로 주로 중소규모의 폐수처리에 사용되며 반응조 내부에 설치된 격벽(Baffle)에 의해 산생성과 메탄생성의 공간적 분리가 뚜렷하고, 일정 수준의 고액분리 효과를 기대할 수 있으며, 비교적 짧은 HRT(Hydraulic Retention Time)와 긴 SRT(Solids Retention Time)를 유지할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 ABR 공정을 이용하여 하수처리공정에서 발생하는 1차 슬러지를 안정화시키는 과정에서 메탄생성을 억제하고 산생성을 최대화하여 고농도의 유기산(Volatile Fatty Acid, VFA)을 생산하고자 하였다. 이때 생산되는 유기산은 후단 탈질반응조의 외부 탄소원으로 이용되어 후탈질 공정으로 유입되는 고농도의 NO3-N을 제거하도록 하였다. 최적 설계 인자 도출을 위하여 ABR 형태의 산발효조와 탈질반응조의 HRT, SRT 및 슬러지 반송과 폐기량이 VFA 생성 및 탈질에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 실험실 규모의 연구결과 HRT 2, 4, 6 및 8일에서 ABR공정을 통한 1차 슬러지 유입 SCOD대비 VFA 생성율은 각각 107±121, 35±87, -82±9 및 -82±12%로 HRT 2일에서 가장 높은 산 생성율을 나타내었으며, HRT 6일 및 8일에서는 긴 체류시간으로 인해 생성된 유기산의 상당량이 메탄으로 전환되면서 VFA 생성율이 저하되는 결과를 보였다. 또한 각 조건에서 생산되는 VFA를 탈질반응조의 유입탄소원으로 이용하였을 때, 유입되는 SCOD의 70% 이상이 탈질에 사용되었으며, NO3-N의 제거율은 평균 82±11% 수준의 탈질효율을 확인하였다.
