In this study, we investigated the characteristics of meteorological factors influencing odor emissions based on odor complaint records and meteorological observation data collected from 2014 to 2021 in Seoul, a megacity with a high population density and no regulated facilities or management zones apart from public environmental infrastructure and neighborhood living facilities. A total of 134,976 odor complaints were recorded over eight years (2,922 days), with a daily peak of 946 cases. From 2018 onward, daily complaints consistently exceeded 200 cases, reaching their highest level in 2019. Complaints were regularly and intensively concentrated during specific periods of the year. Among meteorological factors, dry tide time and dominant wind direction exhibited bimodal distributions within the observation range, while the other 11 meteorological factors were concentrated at a single value. The average meteorological conditions during the period with the highest number of odor complaints and observation days were: temperature 24.2oC, surface temperature 26.7oC, local pressure 1,000.4 hPa, sea-level pressure 1,010.8 hPa, vapor pressure 4.3 hPa, solar irradiance 10.5 MJ/m2, precipitation 0.6 mm, relative humidity 61.5%, wind speed 2.2 m/ s, and dominant wind direction 57.9o. These factors corresponded with the periods of highest odor complaints and observation days; however, dew point temperatures (15.3oC and 19.1oC), dry tide times (14.7 hours and 9.7 hours), and sunshine times (15.1 hours and 9.0 hours) did not coincide with those periods. The meteorological factors with the highest odor complaint emission rates (SROCE, cases/day) across 13 sections, ranked in descending order, were: dry tide time (73.5), surface temperature (67.7), solar irradiance (65.1), sea-level pressure (64.3), temperature (62.7), local pressure (62.7), dew point temperature (60.3), vapor pressure (58.7), sunshine times (54.1), relative humidity (53.1), wind speed (51.2), dominant wind direction (48.7), and precipitation (46.3). The intensity of odor complaint emission (IOCE, cases/day), calculated across the entire meteorological observation range, was highest in the following order: solar irradiance (63.8), dry tide time (60.5), sunshine times (60.3), local pressure (57.2), surface temperature (57.1), sea-level pressure (57.0), temperature (56.4), vapor pressure (55.8), dew point temperature (55.7), relative humidity (49.4), dominant wind direction (49.2), wind speed (49.0), and precipitation (46.5). The IOCE for solar irradiance was 37.2% higher than that for precipitation, which had the lowest IOCE. Additionally, the average IOCE of sunlightrelated meteorological factors such as dry tide time, sunshine times, and solar irradiance was 61.5 cases/day, which is 29.5% higher than that of moisture-related factors, including precipitation and relative humidity (47.5 cases/day). These results suggest that sunlight-related factors significantly contribute to odor complaints. This study evaluated the characteristics of odor emissions associated with complaints within the meteorological observation range, identified meteorological factors corresponding to the highest observed odor emissions, and assessed the contribution of these factors to odor emissions based on the IOCE metric. Based on these results, we anticipate being able to predict odor emission levels using weather forecast data.

This study evaluated the emission characteristics of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from 29 asphalt concrete (ascon) manufacturing facilities in South Korea. VOC concentrations were measured inside industrial stacks and storage silos and during and after the truck loading process. Based on these measurements, emission factors were calculated according to facility type and fuel consumption rate. Afterward, they were compared with emission factors set by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA). The major VOCs emitted from ascon manufacturing facilities were identified as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and the xylene isomers (o-xylene, m-xylene, and p-xylene). The emission concentrations of the VOCs were found to be relatively higher inside industrial stacks and storage silos. Emission factors varied depending on the facility type, with lower values observed in manufacturing facilities using recycled ascon compared to conventional ascon facilities. The emission factors derived in this research were found to be lower than those reported by the U.S. EPA. This difference is attributed to the fact that the emission factors in this study were calculated based on VOC concentrations after treatment by pollution control facilities. As the Clean Air Policy Support System (CAPSS) also sets emission factors based on post-treatment concentrations, this study’s findings can serve as fundamental data to enhance the accuracy of VOC emission estimations.

The management of pollutant emissions from industrial sites involves various crucial steps, including estimating emission quantities and assessing their impact on surrounding areas. While emissions from point sources, such as exhaust outlets, are relatively easier to manage, emissions from area sources, such as workshops and livestock facilities, are often challenging to measure due to various constraints. To address this issue, this study proposes a method for estimating emissions from area sources by utilizing data collected at site boundaries and applying a reverse modeling approach. Using data from actual livestock facilities, along with reverse modeling results, this study identified a strong correlation between the facility area and the number of livestock raised. Correlation analyses revealed positive relationships between the facility area and the average odor emission rate, as well as between the number of livestock and the average odor emission rate. In addition, the results of reverse modeling confirmed a significant correlation between odor emissions, the number of livestock, and the facility area. Based on these findings, this study developed an odor emission factor for livestock facilities using the number of livestock and the facility area as activity indicators. The odor emission factor is expressed in units of OU/s/pig/m², where “OU” represents odor units, “s” denotes seconds, “pig” corresponds to the number of livestock, and “m²” refers to the total facility area. By multiplying the number of livestock by the facility area, the total odor emission rate (OU/sec) can be calculated. Unlike traditional emission factors that rely solely on the number of livestock, this newly developed factor incorporates all facilities contributing to odor emissions within a livestock operation. This approach allows for the estimation of odor emissions using external measurement data and facility information, even in cases where direct measurements are impractical. The results of this study are expected to be effectively utilized for odor evaluation and management in livestock facilities.

Time-series and spatial analysis of collected odor complaints in Seoul megacity during 2014~2021 were conducted for the characterization of odor complaints emitted from the living environment. The ratio of odor complaints in the environmental complaints was 16.7%, and odor complaints increased 3.3 times from 9,053 cases in 2014 to a maximum of 29,425 cases in 2019. In the time-based evaluation (monthly, daily (day of the week), and hourly variations), the highest number of complaints occurred in June, Monday, and 9:00 AM, respectively. While the lowest number of complaints occurred in December, Sunday, and 3:00 AM, respectively. Among 25 provinces in Seoul megacity, the odor complaints that occurred from 2014 to 2021 were concentrated in Eunpyeonggu. The odor complaints of Seodaemun-gu and Nowon-gu occurred at the highest levels in January-February and June, respectively. Based on the characteristics of odor complaint occurrence according to the above time-series and spatial analyses, more effective odor management and control can be implemented by focusing on those hotspot areas and specific time periods.

강재를 대처할 수 있는 다양한 복합재료 중 CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer)를 사용하여 인장 물성 실험을 실시한다. KS F ISO 10406 (콘크리트용 섬유강화 폴리며(FRP 보강재 - 시험방법) 에서 FRP의 측정길이는 지름 (D)의 40 배를 기준으로 제시되어진다. 그러나 25 mm 이상의 시험체는 양단 보강부를 포함하게 된다면 대략 2 m 이상으로 제작되어지게 되고 시험이 상당히 번거롭게 됨으 로써 시험법 개선을 위해서 측정 길이별로 설정하여 성능평가 후 비교분석 한다.

PSC 공법으로 시공된 구조물에서 긴장력을 도입시키는 주요 재료인 PS 강연선은 뛰어난 성능을 보 유하고 있으나, 강재로 제작되어 부식에 취약한 단점 또한 가지고 있다. 이에 한국건설기술연구원에서 는 PS 강연선을 대체할 목적으로 비부식 탄소섬유 케이블을 개발하고 있다. 비부식 탄소섬유 케이블은 PSC 구조물에 사용될 목적으로 개발하고 있기 때문에 인장강도 등 단기 성능 외에도 크리프 및 릴랙 세이션 등 장기 성능 또한 보유하고 있어야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 하중을 일정하게 유지시킨 상 태로 시편의 변형을 살펴보는 크리프 시험과 변위를 일정하게 고정시킨 후에 도입된 하중의 변화를 살펴보는 릴랙세이션 시험을 수행하여 탄소 섬유 케이블의 장기 성능을 검증해 보았다. 각 시험을 수 행하고 데이터를 분석한 결과, 본 연구에서 개발한 탄소섬유 케이블은 크리프와 릴랙세이션에 대해서 일반적으로 PSC 구조물에 사용되는 PS 강연선에 비해 동등 이상의 성능을 보유하고 있는 것으로 판 단된다.

이 연구에서는 CFRP 케이블의 압착형 정착장치의 강종에 따른 피로성능을 평가하였다. 실험결과, CFRP 케이블 압착형 정착시스템은 정착장치의 강종에 상관없이 도로교설계기준의 포스트텐션용 정착 구에 대한 피로시험 조건을 만족시켰다. 그러나 피로시험이후 인장성능 실험에서 SM45C 강종의 정착 장치는 최대내력 도잘전에 케이블과 정착장치 사이에서 미끄러짐이 발생하였으며, 듀플렉스 강종의 정 착장치는 최대 내력 도달과 동시에 CFRP 케이블이 파단되었다.

본 연구에서는 광섬유를 이용한 탄소섬유복합재료(CFRP) 긴장재 개발을 목표로 다양한 성능실험을 수행하였다. 광섬 유 센서를 활용한 탄소섬유 긴장재의 계측성능은 부착된 변형률 게이지의 계측 값과 비교한 결과, 3.7% 이내로 동일한 계측을 하는 것으로 나타났고, 탄소섬유 긴장재 파단까지 계측이 가능하기 때문에, 센싱용 긴장재로 활용이 가능함을 확인하였다. 현장 적용을 위한 장기성능 실험결과, 릴렉세이션의 경우 저릴렉세이션 강연선 기준 값인 2.5%를 만족하였고 피로시험의 경우 도로 교설계기준을 준용하여 200만회 이후 인장성능의 변화가 없는 것을 확인되어, 탄소섬유 긴장재 뿐만 아니라 정착구도 장기성능 을 확보한 것으로 판단된다

In this research, we examined the shifts in determinants influencing the frequency of eco-friendly food purchases pre- and post-COVID-19. Our analysis utilized filtered 2019-2021 Consumption Behavior Survey data from the Korea Rural Economic Institute Food, excluding any irrational responses. Given the nature of the dependent variable, a multinomial logistic regression model was employed with demographic factors, variables pertaining to food consumption behavior, and variables concerning food consumption awareness as predictors. Following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, an individual's level of education was observed to positively influence the frequency of eco-friendly food purchases. In contrast, income level and fluctuations in food consumption expenditure did not appear to have a discernible impact on the purchasing frequency of such eco-friendly products. Irrespective of the advent of COVID-19, variables such as the frequency of online food purchases, the utilization of early morning delivery services, dining out frequency, and the intake of health-functional foods consistently demonstrated a positive correlation with the propensity to purchase eco-friendly foods. Overall, consumers prioritizing safety, quality, and nutrition over price, taste, and convenience in their procurement decisions for rice, vegetables, meat, and processed foods exhibit an increased inclination toward the acquisition of eco-friendly food products.

This study was carried out in order to provide suggestions with regard to optimal control methods for various odor emission facilities (162 companies and 26 industrial classifications) through comparative analysis of effective odor treatment technologies for each type of odor substance by literature reviews, based on measured 22 odor substance data for 162 samples taken from A city. The industrial classification of Pulp showed the highest odor quotient (7,589 as average value) and was followed by the industrial classifications of Wastewater, Woods, and Furniture, indicating average odor quotient values of 2,361, 1,396 and 1,392, respectively. Absorption using chlorine dioxide and sodium hydroxide can be an optimal treatment method to remove the odor substances of sulfide and aldehyde groups. Biofilers with microbial communities will be effective to remove odors caused by volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and an absorption method using sulfuric acid is proper for the removal of odor substances caused by nitrogens.

본 연구는 이러닝 학습에서 간격학습과 차단학습의 비율을 조절한 혼합학습이 학생들의 학업성취도와 학습 만족도에 미치는 영향을 파악하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 이를 위해 간격학습과 차단학습의 비율에 따라 다섯가지 조건을 제작하 고 실험에 사용하였다. 실험에는 총 121명의 학생이 실험에 참가하였고 사전 수학 학업성취도를 비롯하여 사후 수학 학 업성취도, 학습 만족도, 예측 점수를 실험 절차에 따라 측정하였다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 먼저 사전 학업 성취도에 서는 다섯 개의 집단 모두 차이가 없었다. 하지만 사후 학업 성취도는 100% 차단학습으로 실시한 학생들보다 간격학습 으로 진행한 학생들이 높았다. 차단학습의 비율이 감소함에 따라 사후 학업 성취도도 서서히 증가하는 패턴을 발견할 수 있었다. 다음으로 학습 만족도와 예측점수의 경우 차단학습 비율이 증가하면서 점점 증가하는 패턴을 발견하였다. 결과 적으로 학생들에게 차단학습 비율을 증가시키면 학업성취도는 감소하지만 학습 만족도와 예측점수는 높아지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 마지막으로 차단학습 비율 정도와 평가시기(사전, 사후)에 따른 학업성취도의 차이를 분산분석을 통해 분석해 보았다. 그 결과, 차단학습이 없는 조건과 차단학습이 25% 실시된 조건간에 학업 성취도의 차이가 없는 것을 발견하였 다. 이 연구는 기존에 없던 차단학습과 간격학습을 섞은 혼합학습이라는 새로운 관점을 제시해주며, 적절한 혼합학습은 학생들의 성취도와 만족을 동시에 만족시킬 수 있다는 사실을 제시하였다.

CALMET (California Meteorological Model), which is a meteorological subroutine for an air quality dispersion mode (CALPUFF; California Puff Model), closely related with the land surface structure. In this study, the sensitivity of micro-meteorological parameters including wind speed and roughness height, Albedo, Bowen ratio, soil heat flux, and leaf area index were closely evaluated with change of land-use in relation to urban development. As a result, although no consistent dependence of roughness height on surface wind was found, it showed that high value of surface roughness could lead to the increase of friction velocity, influence the Monin-Obukhov length and the mixing height. At the same time, the increasing Albedo reduced friction velocity and mixing height. Thus, it was concluded for the CALMET modelling that it is necessary to first define the roughness height, Albedo, and Bowen ratio according to land-use.
