This study is aimed to figure out the productivity and variability of cage-aquaculture changes. According to the analysis, the productivity of major fish species has been increasing, except mullet. Although the regional productivity has decreased in the last two years, it has been on the rise considering as a whole. Gyeongsangnam-do showed the highest level of productivity by region. Productivity by species was also higher than other regions in the cases of rock fish, mullet and sea bream followed by productivity of Chungcheongnam-do. The production of marine cage-culture in Jeollanam-do is the second largest in Korea in value/weight while its productivity is lower than that of Chungcheongnam-do. When it comes to comparison by region, Gyeongsangnam-do shows the lowest productivity variation. And Jeollanam-do shows the second-lowest variation in productivity that is only about half of that of Chungcheongnam-do province. Thus, it is found that Jeollanam-do region has an advantage in management stability while its productivity is low. On the other hand, productivity by species was also analyzed. Gyeongsangnam-do has the highest productivity by species for rock fish, mullet and sea bream whereas rock bream productivity is the highest in Jeollanam-do. Therefore, it probably needs to reflect these results when choosing regional-focused incubation fish species.

Osmotic power is to produce electric power by using the chemical potential of two flows with the difference of salinity. Water permeates through a semipermeable membrane from a low concentration feed solution to a high concentration draw solution due to osmotic pressure. In a pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) process, river water and wastewater are commonly used as low salinity feed solution, whereas seawater and brine from the SWRO plant are employed as draw solution. During the PRO process using wastewater effluent as feed solution, PRO membrane fouling is usually caused by the convective or diffusive transport of PRO which is the most critical step of PRO membrane in order to prevent membrane fouling. The main objective of this study is to assess the PRO membrane fouling reduction by pretreatment to remove organic matter using coagulation-UF membrane process. The experimental results obtained from the pretreatment test showed that the optimum ferric chloride and PAC dosage for removal of organic matter applied for the coagulation and adsorption process was 50 mg/L as FeCl3 (optimum pH 5.5). Coagulation-UF pretreatment process was higher removal efficiency of organic matter, as also resulting in the substantial improvement of water flux of PRO membrane.

Purpose: This study compares the chest compression quality, and the willingness and confidence to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) before and after education between the compression only CPR (COCPR) group and the standard CPR (STCPR) group using manikins. Method: This study employs a randomized controlled trial design. A total of 219 and 214 individuals were randomly assigned to the COCPR and STCPR groups, respectively. Both groups were asked to perform CPR for 2 min before and after education. The willingness and confidence to perform CPR were surveyed through a questionnaire. Results: Before education, the STCPR group had a significantly higher mean chest compression depth and accuracy than the COCPR group for the entire 2 min. After education, the STCPR group had a significantly higher mean chest compression depth for 2 min and higher compression accuracy for late 1 min than the COCPR group. However, no significant difference in the willingness and confidence to perform CPR according to the compression method was evident. Conclusion: Repeated training is required to maintain chest compression quality. CPR education improves willingness and confidence to perform CPR.

Pretreatment system of desalination process using seawater reverse osmosis(SWRO) membrane is the most critical step in order to prevent membrane fouling. One of the methods is coagulation-UF membrane process. Coagulation-UF membrane systems have been shown to be very efficient in removing turbidity and non-soluble and colloidal organics contained in the source water for SWRO pretreatment. Ferric salt coagulants are commonly applied in coagulation-UF process for pretreatment of SWRO process. But aluminum salts have not been applied in coagulation-UF pretreatment of SWRO process due to the SWRO membrane fouling by residual aluminum. This study was carried out to see the effect of residual matal salt on SWRO membrane followed by coagulation-UF pretreatment process. Experimental results showed that increased residual aluminum salts by coagulation-UF pretreatment process by using alum lead to the decreased SWRO membrane salt rejection and flux. As the salt rejection and flux of SWRO membrane decreased, the concentration of silica and residual aluminum decreased. However, when adjusting coagulation pH for coagulation-UF pretreatment process, the residual aluminum salt concentration was decreased and SWRO membrane flux was increased.

A coal dust scattered from storage and transfer facilities of coal power plant is led to a air pollution. It is difficult to reduce some scattered coal dust by used filter system such as bag filter and electric precipitator because of being scattered in the large area. The need to cut down coal dust generation has been increased as being reinforced regulation to reduce dust from coal power plant. So this is a experimental basic study which reduces coal dust generation. This study is to reduce scattering rate of the coal dust by collision and interception between fine fog droplet and coal dust particles. The reducing rate of coal dust is evaluated by droplet size of 10㎛ sprayed. It is evaluated that capture efficiency is lower as a coal dust concentration become higher. And also it is increase as droplet size is decrase and droplet density is increase. It is resulted that coal dust coefficient to optimize the fog system design is 25μg/m3/l/hr and capture efficiency of coal dust is about 80%.

신재생 에너지의 확대를 위한 대용량 에너지 저장장치로서 레독스 흐름전지 기술의 중요성이 부각되고 있다. 레독스 흐름전지는 양극 및 음극 전해액을 셀에 순환시켜 전해액에 용해되어 있는 활물질의 산화 및 환원 반응을 유도시키는 전지로서 전지의 효율 및 수명 확보를 위해서 양쪽 전해액을 분리시켜 주며 이온전달을 일으킬 수 있는 멤브레인의 사용이 필수적이다. 그러나 기존 레독스 흐름전지에 사용되는 멤브레인은 활물질 차단 특성, 이온 전달 특성, 물리화학적 내구성 및 가격 측면에서 부족한 특성이 많으며, 이를 개선함으로서 레독스 흐름전지의 효율, 수명 향상 및 가격저감 효과를 얻을 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 레독스 흐름전지용 멤브레인의 문제점을 정리하고, 이를 개선시키기 위한 멤브레인 소재 및 구조설계 전략에 대해 논의한다. 특히 활물질 차단과 내구성 향상 혹은 가격저감을 동시에 만족시키는 복합막 기술을 소개한다.

Stable slurries of YSZ in aqueous suspension with added polymer dispersants, namely, poly-methacrylic acid ammonium salt (PMMA), poly-acrylic acid (PAA) and poly-acrylic-co-maleic acid (PAMA), were mixed with the monomolecular dispersants citric acid and oxalic acid. The dispersion properties of the suspension were investigated using PSA, viscosity, sedimentation, and FT-IR. The polymer dispersants and monomolecular dispersants were attached to the YSZ surface by the carboxylic group, as shown by the FTIR results. A stabilized aqueous suspension was obtained when the polymer dispersant and citric acid were mixed and compared to the use of citric acid alone as a dispersant agent. When the polymer dispersant and citric acid were mixed and milled through attrition milling, there was a smaller particle size compared to when the polymer dispersant alone was used as a dispersant agent. This study determined that the particle size of the mixed dispersant was affected by the properties of the monomolecular dispersant and that the stability of the suspension was affected by the polymer dispersant. However, when slurries of YSZ were mixed with oxalic acid, the particle bridging behavior was the result of the high degree of viscosity and the small sedimentation height.

This study was conducted to report the census survey results of south Korean Chikso (Korean Brindle Cattle) distribution and to diagnose the current coat color expression patterns. Two years Chikso census showed that there were 2,413 Chikso in 2013 and 2,754 in 2014 in south Korea. Number of animals between 0 to 35 months of age was 1,632 heads in 2014 which comprised 59% of total Chikso population size. The percentages of animals between 36 ~ 71 months of age and over 6 years of age were 31% and 10% of total. Out of 2,416 animals with class numbers assessed by their coat colors, 1,249 heads (52%) were in group I (with black stripes, class no. 1 ~ 3) and the others (class no. 4 ~ 7) were in group II (1,167 heads, 48%). Among the 1,551 animals that were photographed twice in 2013 and in 2014, 226 animals were assessed different coat color class numbers, and round 90% of which were within the ages less than 48 months. The number of animals switched in coat color pattern groups over a year was 56, which was 3.6% of total number of animals on survey. And around 88% of the animals switched in group category was of the animals younger than 24 months of age. Therefore, we conclude that the coat color pattern becomes rather stable at around 24 months of age in Chikso populaion in south Korea.

Control degree and property changes of dissolved organic matter (DOM) were conducted by coagulation of chemical treatment for 2 sewage treatment plants with different technical methods. As the result, SUVA value of the second treated water (supernatant of the second settling pond after biological treatment) was increased and DOC was reduced in comparison with supplied raw water. And, SUVA value and DOC were reduced by coagulation after coagulation treatment of the second treated water. Properties of dissolved organic matter for 2 sewage treatment plants's DOC were divided. As the result, there was lots of hydrophilic component with hydrophilicity in case of plant A. In case of the second treated water, Plant A showed fulvic acid with little molecular weight was reduced among the hydrophobic component with hydrophobicity, but numic acide with lots of molecular weight was increased. However, in case of plant B, both fulvic acid with little molecular weight and humic acid with lots of molecular weight were increased among the hydrophobic components with hydrophilicity. Before the operation of phosphorus facility, properties of dissolved organic matter after biodegradation with effluent water showed hydrophilic components were reduced and hydrophobic components were increased. However, after coagulation treatment of the second treated water, hydrophilic components and hydrophobic components were outstandingly decreased or increased. During the biodegradation after coagulation treatment, hydrophilic components were significantly decreased and hydrophobic components were increased.

동부, 녹두, 올방개 전분의 호화특성을 알아보고, 3가지 전분으로 제조한 묵의 texture를 비교하여 보았다. 고속호화점도계(RVA)를 이용하여 3가지 전분의 호화패턴 측정 결과, 동부전분과 녹두전분은 유사한 패턴을 나타내었고, 올방개 전분은 유의적으로 높은 최고점도(peak viscosity)값과 breakdown값을 나타내었다. 전분의 색상이 묵 제조시 어떠한 영향을 나타내는지 확인하기 위해 묵의 색도를 측정하였다. 밝은 정도를 나타내는 L값의 경우, 동부묵과 녹두묵이 유사하게 나타났고, 올방개묵은 유의적으로 낮게 나타났고, a값과 b값은 가장 높게 나타났는데 올방개를 첨가한 묵의 색도도 유사한 경향을 보여 주었으며, 이는 전분의 색이 묵의 색에 영향을 미치는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, texture analyser를 이용하여 3가지 전분으로 제조한 묵의 texture특성을 비교하였다. 동부묵과 녹두묵의 hardness는 각각 1083.03 g, 980.95 g로 유사한 값을 나타내었고, 올방개묵은 499.43 g으로 유의적으로 낮은 값을 나타내었다. 호화특성과 texture특성이 다른 올방개 전분을 나머지 두 가지 묵에 첨가하였을 때 묵의 변화를 알아보기 위해 동부묵과 녹두묵에 올방개 전분을 0, 10, 20 및 30%첨가하여 hardness와 관능평가를 진행하였다. 관능평가결과, 동부묵의 경우 올방개 전분 첨가량에 따라 유의적인 hardness값의 변화를 나타내지 않았으나, 녹두묵은 20%이상 첨가시 hardness값이 유의적으로 낮아졌다. 전반적인 기호도의 경우에도 동부묵은 유의차가 없었으나, 녹두묵은 올방개전분 첨가량이 증가할수록 값이 높아지는 경향을 나타내었다. 따라서 호화특성 및 texture특성이 다른 올방개 전분을 녹두묵에 20%이상 첨가시 묵의 관능 및 물성이 변화되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 올방개 전분이 첨가된 묵과 첨가되지 않은 묵의 저장 중 hardness변화를 측정하였다. 올방개 전분을 30%첨가한 녹두묵과 첨가하지 않은 녹두묵, 올방개묵의 3가지 묵을 25oC와 35oC에 10일간 저장하면서 hardness를 측정하였다. 측정결과, 올방개묵과 올방개 전분을 30%첨가한 녹두묵은 25oC와 35oC 모두 10일간 유의적인 변화를 나타내지 않았으나, 올방개 전분을 첨가하지 않은 녹두묵의 경우 25oC 저장 4일-8일차부터 유의적으로 hardness가 상승하는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 따라서, 올방개 전분을 첨가하여 혼합묵 형태로 제조할 경우 hardness가 낮은 묵의 제조가 가능하며, 저장기간 중 묵의 물성변화를 최소화 할 수 있다는 것을 확인하였다.
