Photosynthesis and respiration of seagrasses are mainly controlled by water temperature. In this study, the photosynthetic physiology and respiratory changes of the Asian surfgrass Phyllospadix japonicus, which is mainly distributed on the eastern and southern coasts of Korea, were investigated in response to changing water temperature (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30°C) by conducting mesocosm experiments. Photosynthetic parameters (maximum photosynthetic rate, Pmax; compensation irradiance, Ic; and saturation irradiance, Ik) and respiration rate of surfgrass increased with rising water temperature, whereas photosynthetic efficiency (α) was fairly constant among the water temperature conditions. The Pmax and Ik dramatically decreased under the highest water temperature condition (30°C), whereas the Ic and respiration rate increased continuously with the increasing water temperature. Ratios of maximum photosynthetic rates to respiration rates (Pmax : R ) were highest at 5°C and declined markedly at higher temperatures with the lowest ratio at 30°C. The minimum requirement of Hsat (the daily period of irradiancesaturated photosynthesis) of P. japonicus was 2.5 hours at 5°C and 10.6 hours at 30°C for the positive carbon balance. Because longer Hsat was required for the positive carbon balance of P. japonicus under the increased water temperature, the rising water temperature should have negatively affected the growth, distribution, and survival of P. japonicus on the coast of Korea. Since the temperature in the temperate coastal waters is rising gradually due to global warming, the results of this study could provide insights into surfgrass responses to future severe sea warming and light attenuation.

This study has been conducted to investigate the North Korea water supply system. For this purpose, laws and regulations concerning the North Korea water utilities were analyzed. According to this study, the water supply system of North Korea is similar to that of South Korea. The major difference between these two systems lies in the national water supplier: South Korea has the national water supplier as well as the municipal suppliers, while there is no national water supplier in North Korea. It is noted that the North Korean water utilities depend on outside suppliers for resources necessary for water production such as electricity, chemicals, spare parts, etc. This could damage the North Korean water utilities. If required resources were not delivered properly (deficient quantity and/or at delayed timing), the water suppliers would encounter difficulties in water production.

It is investigated in this study how the water supply system has been developed in North Korea. Articles published in the Rodong Newspaper (North Korea official newspaper) were mainly reviewed for this purpose. It was found in this study that the development of the water supply system in the North Korea was affected by their socioeconomic situations. Their water supply development was categorized into six groups in this study since the first water supply system built in Pyongyang (1910); Occupation period (1910~1945); Introduction period (1946~1950); Restoration period (1951~1960); Advancement period (1961~1970); New village period (1971~1974); Depression period (1974~).

다중 하중 과도응답해석은 시간에 따른 작용 하중에 대한 과도응답을 확인하므로 정교한 시스템 모델링 및 조밀한 시간 간격을 가 질수록 해당 시스템에 대한 동특성은 정확하게 나타내지만 이에 따른 계산 시간은 크게 증가하게 된다. 크리로프 부공간 기반 모델차 수축소법은 기계 시스템이 가지는 동적 특성과 거의 동일한 결과를 나타내면서 계산 시간을 줄일 수 있기 때문에 효율적인 과도응답 해석 방법이다. 본 연구에서는 다중 하중 및 이동 하중을 가지는 수치 예제를 통하여 크리로프 부공간 모델차수축소법 기반 과도응답 해석을 수행하고, 이를 통해 초기 시스템 및 축소차수 모델의 정확성 및 효율성을 비교하였다. 또한, 시스템 행렬 추출, 크리로프 부공 간의 기저 벡터로 구성되는 변환행렬 생성 및 축소차수모델 생성 그리고 이를 바탕으로 과도응답해석을 하는 절차를 수립하여 상용 유한요소 프로그램인 ANSYS Workbench ACT를 통해 과도응답해석 과정 자동화를 구현하여 그 효용성과 효율성을 보였다.

ODA finance in the water sector has decreased after reaching a peak in 2012 although total ODA commitments have steadily increased according to OECD DAC data. However, climate finance in the water sector has increased so much since 2013 according to 7 MDB Joint report on Climate Finance. Water, especially, in climate change is the main issue for adaptation, and the total finance in the water sector reached 50% of the international public adaptation finance in 2016. However, the procedures for approval and the requirements of the proposals for climate funds are different from those for development finance. Notwithstanding the changes in money flows in the water sector, most korean engineering consulting firms in the water infrastructure area are not ready to win the funds relating to climate change. Therefore, It is important to understand a variety of sources of climate funds, characteristics, funding scale on each purpose and procedures for approval. Korean government needs to provide the firms the opportunities to buildup experiences by getting involved in climate adaptation projects with the financial support for developing PPFs, concept notes, and proposals.

In this study, a MWCNT(multi-wall carbon nanotube) was added to polysulfone(PSf) support layer to improve flux of TFC(thin film composite) RO(reverse osmosis) membrane. Two different kinds of MWCNT were used. Surfaces of some MWCNTs were modified hydrophilically through acid treatment, while those of other MWCNTs were modified through heat treatment to maintain their hydrophobicity. MWCNT/PSf support layer was prepared by adding PSf to the NMP mixed solvent containing 0.1 wt% MWCNTs using a phase inversion method. The surface porosity of the MWCNT/PSf support increased by 42~46% while its surface pore size being maintained. The TFC RO membrane made of MWCNT/PSf support layer showed a 20% flux increase while its salt rejection characteristics is sustained. In addition, the MWCNT/PSf support layer has better mechanical stability than the PSf support layer, there resulting in an increased resistance of flux reduction due to physical pressure.

This study was aimed to examine inorganic fouling and fouling reduction method in direct contact membrane distillation(DCMD) process. Synthetic seawater of NaCl solution with CaCO3 and CaSO4 was used for this purpose. It was found in this study that both CaCO3 and CaSO4 precipitates formed at the membrane surface. More fouling was observed with CaSO4(anhydrite) and CaSO4･0.5H2O(bassanite) than CaSO4･2H2O(gypsum). CaCO3 and gypsum were detected at the membrane surface when concentrates of SWRO(seawater reverse osmosis) were treated by the DCMD process, while gypsum was found with MED(multi effect distillation) concentrates. Air backwash(inside to out) was found more effective in fouling reduction than air scouring.

Reverse osmosis seawater desalination facilities can extend the cleaning cycle and replacement time of the reverse osmosis membrane by pretreatment process. Selection of pretreatment process depends on water quality. It was attempted in this study to select approriate pretreatment process for the Masan bay, which was high in particles and organic content. For this purpose, performances of pretreatment processes such as filter adsorber (FA), pore controllable fiber (PCF), and ultrafiltration (UF) were compared based on the silt density index (SDI). The SDI value of the filtrate should be less than 3. The study results showed that UF can produce the filtrate quality satisfying the requirement. However, the transmembrane pressure (TMP) of UF increased quickly, reaching 0.6 bar within 4 days. In order to secure stable operation, FA and PCF were combined with UF. The study results showed that combination of PCF and UF was able to extend the filtration duration (more than 2 months) until to reach TMP of 0.6 bar.

A-KRS는 한국원자력연구원에서 개발한 파이로프로세싱 처리된 폐기물을 처분하는 개념이다. 고준위 방사성폐기물은 파이로프로세싱에 의하여 최소화되며, 최종 발생된 고준위 방사성폐기물은 모나자이트 세라믹 폐기물 형태로 제조된다. 모나자이트 세라믹 폐기물은 처분공에 영구 처분되어 열을 발생시킨다. 발생된 열은 폐기물을 보호하는 캐니스터 및 완충재의 온도를 상승시켜 설계 기준을 초과 시킬 수 있다. 온도는 처분공 간의 거리로 조절 가능하며 한국원자력연구원에서 해석한 바 있다. 한국원자력연구원에서 해석한 경계조건은 완벽 접촉을 가정한 것이기 때문에, 최초 처분 시에 발생하는 간격에 의해 발생하는 열 저항에 의한 온도 분포는 알 수 없다. 이를 보완하기 위하여, 본 논문에서는 최초 처분 시 존재하는 간격에 의한 열 전달 해석을 수행하였다. 또한 발열체와 캐니스터 간의 공극을 추가하여 온도 분포 해석을 수행하였다. COMSOL 전산해석 소프트웨어를 이용하여 열전달 해석을 수행하였다.

The games called Jenga and Cubes are developed by using unity3D. Potential immersion and usability of games displayed by integral video method is experimentally tested. Experiment participants played the test games and are surveyed to measure immersion and potential usability. In this survey, the immersion scored 3.83 out of 5 in average, and we confirmed relatively higher satisfaction than 2D display. Positive results on implementation of non-glass 3D display on game contents are obtained from the experiment and survey.

Seawater desalination market after global economic crisis has been stalled due to the market uncertainties and decreased demand in desalination. It is important to review the status of the market and to estimate the appropriate share of Forward osmosis-Reverse Osmosis (FO-RO) hybrid desalination technology by figuring out the outlook of the desalination market. Main part of the desalination market will still be MENA (Middle East and North Africa) in the near future due to the fast population increase and high dependency of fossil fuel in the region. The market for FO-RO hybrid technology, however, might be smaller than the conventional SWRO desalination market anyway because of aesthetic issues from using wastewater as raw water and higher costs associated with capex. Therefore, it is essential to improve FO membrane performance and system operation technologies in order to make the hybrid technology attractive compared to the conventional SWRO technology.

The main objective of this paper is to develop computer simulation program for performance evaluation and cost estimation of a reverse osmosis (RO) and pressure-retarded osmosis (PRO) hybrid process to propose guidelines for its economic competitiveness use in the field. A solution-diffusion model modified with film theory and a simple cost model was applied to the simulation program. Using the simulation program, the effects of various factors, including the Operating conditions, membrane properties, and cost parameters on the RO and RO-PRO hybrid process performance and cost were examined. The simulation results showed that the RO-PRO hybrid process can be economically competitive with the RO process when electricity cost is more than 0.2 $/kWh, the PRO membrane cost is same as RO membrane cost, the power density is more than 8 W/m2 and PRO recovery is same as 1/(1-RO recovery).

23 완전요인배치법에 의해 설계된 반응조건에 따라 컨벡 션오븐을 반응기로 하여 제조된 starch citrate들의 반응성( 반응효율, 몰치환도), 저항전분 함량 및 페이스팅 점도 특 성을 조사하고, 분석된 특성치들을 이용한 요인분산분석을 통해 주요인들(전분종류, pH, 반응온도) 및 이들의 상호작 용들이 starch citrate의 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 아밀로오스 함량(전분종류)의 증가는 반응효율, 저항전분 함량을 증가시켰으며 페이스팅 점도 특성치들을 감소시키 는 효과를 나타내었다. pH의 증가는 반응효율, 몰치환도, 저항전분 함량을 감소시켰으나 반응온도는 반대의 경향을 나타내었다. 페이스팅 점도 특성에 있어 pH의 증가는 페이 스팅 온도, 최고점도, 최저점도, 최종점도 등을 증가시켰으 나 반응온도의 증가는 감소시키는 효과를 나타내었다. 한 편 주요인들의 상호작용에 있어 전분종류-pH와 pH-반응온 도는 반응효율, 몰치환도 및 저항전분 함량에 정도의 차이 는 있지만 유의적인 영향을 미쳤으나 전분종류-반응온도의 상호작용은 이들 특성치들에 대한 유의적인 효과를 나타내 지 않았다. 페이스팅 점도 특성들에 대해 전분종류-pH, 전 분종류-반응온도 및 pH-반응온도의 상호작용들은 유의적인 효과를 나타내었으며, 특히 전분종류-pH와 전분종류-반응 온도의 상호작용들은 페이스팅 점도 특성치들의 감소를 초 래하였다. 결과적으로 생전분의 건조중량 대비 10%의 구 연산, 3시간의 반응시간과 본 연구에서 채택된 반응조건들 의 범위 내에서 생전분의 아밀로오스 함량이 높을수록, pH 는 낮을수록, 반응온도는 높을수록 starch citrate의 저항전 분 함량이 증가하며, 생전분의 아밀로오스 함량이 낮을수 록, pH가 높을수록, 반응온도가 높을수록 페이스팅 점도와 같은 물리적 기능성이 향상된 starch citrate를 얻을 수 있 을 것으로 판단된다.

전분과 구연산 사이의 다중 에스테르화반응에 의한 starch citrate의 저항전분 함량에 대한 반응압출성형조건들의 영향을 조사하였으며, 이들의 페이스팅 점도 특성을 조사하여 산업적 활용도가 높은 starch citrate를 제조할 수 있는 반응조건을 탐색하였다. 반응압출성형에 의한 starch citrate를 제조하기 위해 성형노즐을 제거한 쌍축압출성형기를 사용하여 반응온도, 스크류 회전속도, 반응혼합물의 쌍축압출성형기 통과횟수를 변수로 하였다. 반응온도가 높아지면서, 스크류 회전속도가 느려지면서, 쌍축압출성형기 통과횟수가 증가하면서 starch citrate의 저항전분 함량은 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 40% 구연산 농도의 반응혼합물을 150oC와 스크류 회전속도 10 rpm의 쌍축압출성형기를 5회 통과시킬 때 90%의 저항전분을 보유한 starch citrate를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 40% 구연산 농도의 반응혼합물을 150oC와 스크류 회전속도 50 rpm의 쌍축압출성형기를 5회 통과시킬 때 58%의 저항전분을 보유한 starch citrate를 얻을 수 있었으며, 이는 유의적인 페이스팅 점도를 발달시켜 높은 저항전분 함량에도 불구하고 가공적성이 우수한 starch citrate를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 starch citrate의 제조 시 전통적으로 사용되는 컨백션 오븐 보다는 쌍축압출성형기를 사용하는 것이 가공적성이 우수한 starch citrate를 제조할 수 있을 것으로 보인다. 따라서 본 연구에서 보고한 50%(s.b) 이상의 저항전분을 보유하면서도 페이스팅 점도 특성을 잃지 않은 starch citrate와 쌍축압출성형기를 활용한 starch citrate 제조기법들은 산업적 활용도 높을 것으로 예상되며 기존의 저항전분 소재들을 대체할 수 있는 잠재력이 높은 저항전분 소재일 것으로 생각된다.
