The dynamic characterization of a three-story auxiliary building in a nuclear power plant (NPP) constructed with a monolithic reinforced concrete shear wall is investigated in this study. The shear wall is subjected to a joint-research, round-robin analysis organized by the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, South Korea, to predict seismic responses of that auxiliary building in NPP through a shake table test. Five different intensity measures of the base excitation are applied to the shaking table test to get the acceleration responses from the different building locations for one horizontal direction (front-back). Simultaneously to understand the global damage scenario of the structure, a frequency search test is conducted after each excitation. The primary motivation of this study is to develop a nonlinear numerical model considering the multi-layered shell element and compare it with the test result to validate through the modal parameter identification and floor responses. In addition, the acceleration amplification factor is evaluated to judge the dynamic behavior of the shear wall with the existing standard, thus providing theoretical support for engineering practice.

The impact of storage temperature on the changes in acid value(AV), peroxide value(POV), color value, total phenolic content(TPC), and antioxidant activity in perilla seed(PS) was investigated. The PS was stored at 25, 35, and 45℃ for four weeks. An increase in the storage temperature resulted in significantly increased AV, POV, redness, and yellowness of the PS. Conversely, TPC, antioxidant activity, and redness of the PS significantly decreased. The changes in the AV and POV followed a first-order kinetic model, and the kinetic parameters such as k, t1/2, Q10 and Ea were calculated. The k and t1/2 values decreased with increasing storage temperature and the Q10 values for the AV and POV were 1.56, 1.91, 4.61, and 3.43, respectively. The Ea for the changes in of the AV and POV in the PS were 70.40, 102.63 kJ/mol, respectively. The half-life values for the AV and POV of the PS at 25℃ were 169.52 and 373.18 days, respectively, while the values at 45℃ for those, were 28.47 and 27.93 days, respectively.

본 연구에서는 염 용액과 당 용액의 농도를 달리하여 적합한 소라 중간수분식품을 제조하기 위해 삼투 침지 후 열풍 건조 시 건조 특성 및 소라 중간수분식품의 품질을 분석하고자 하였다. 그 결과 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 건조온도가 높을수록 건조속도가 빨랐지만, 가열로 인해 시료의 경도가 높아졌기 때문에 50℃에서 건조하는 방법이 중간수분식품의 제조에 가장 적합하였다. 또, 염침지와 당침지 공정으로 인해 소라의 건조 시 수분함량 및 수분활성도를 감소시켜 건조속도가 높아졌고, 전단가가 감소하였으며, 삼투작용을 통해 소라내부의 물질이동 즉 수분이동을 통해 수분의 확산을 유발하고, 건조 시 표면의 피막 생성을 억제시켜 시료가 내부까지 균일하게 건조되도록 하였으며 조직의 경화를 억제하였다. 소라의 건조시 지수함수식의 모델식을 통한 수분활성도와 수분함량의 관계에서 당과 염을 동시에 침지 시 동일한 수분활성도에 해당하는 수분함량이 증가하였다. 또 당침지와 염침지 공정을 통해 수분보유력의 증가와 더불어 근원섬유단백질이 붕괴하여 조직이 연화되었으며, 특유의 질긴 조직감을 개선함과 동시에 향미가 부여되어 관능적 기호도가 높게 나타났다. 결론적으로 염침지 공정 및 당침지 공정을 통해 우수한 품질을 지니는 소라 중간수분식품을 제조할 수 있었고, 단독으로 침지시 보다 병행하여 침지한 경우 더 나은 전체적인 결과를 가져왔다. 특히 5% 염 + 5% 당침지액을 이용하여 침지한 후 50℃에서 180분간 건조하여 소라 중간수분식품을 제조할 경우 품질이 우수한 중간수분식품을 제조 할 수 있었다.

In this study, we investigated the effects of pre-soaking in salt and sugar solution prior to air drying at 50℃ on the characteristics of dried apples. Pre-soaking solutions included single solutions of salt 2% and sugar 2%; and combined solutions of salt 2%+sugar 2% and salt 2%+sugar 5%, respectively. The effects of pre-soaking condition and drying were evaluated in terms of moisture content (MC), water activity, color, antioxidant activity determined by DPPH radical scavenging activity, shear force, microbial contents, and sensory evaluation of apple slices. The control sample without pre-soaking showed the most rapid drying rate; in addition, the single solutions showed higher MC and water activity after drying time of 120 min, as compared to combined solutions. In all samples, MC and water activity showed high correlation coefficients of 0.91 to 0.97; whereas, shear force was negatively correlated with MC and water activity. The single solution of salt 2% showed decrease in change of color, including L, a, and b values, and the number of aerobic bacteria during drying. In addition, highest antioxidant activity and values of sensory preferences were observed in the dried apple pre-soaked in single solution of salt 2%.

In this study, Stockbridge damper was adopted to reduce the reponses of structures under earthquakes. A finite element analysis software, SAP2000, was used to simulate the structural response and the control device under dynamic loads. A 3 story frame model and the proposed control device, Stockbridge damper, were designed under laboratory conditions. In this research, a pendulum type tuned mass damper (PTMD) was also adopted in order to compare with the Stockbridge damper. Harmonic loads were applied to verity the control performance of both control devices in each mode. In results, it has been found that the Stockbirdge damper decreases significantly the responses of the structure more than the PTMD under the harmonic loadings. The El Centro and Northridge earthquakes were also applied in order to investigate the performance by both control devices. The responses of the building demonstrate that the Stockbridge damper reduces the response of the building structure during earthquakes more effectively than the PTMD.

수온과 기후 지수 자료를 이용하여 한국주변해 상층부의 수온변동과 북태평양 기후체제와의 관계를 분석하였다. 1970, 1980 그리고 1990년대 후반에 발생한 기후체제전환은 해양생태계의 구조 변화에 중요한 영향을 끼쳤다. 북서태평양 대륙주변부에 위치한 우리나라 주변해역 또한, 10년 이상의 장주기적인 변화의 영향을 받지만, 해역별 반응은 다르다. 동해, 서해 , 남해 상층부(10 m)의 경우 1988년의 기후체제전환은 3개 해역의 상층부 수온변화에서 동시에 나타난다. 반면, 1998년은 동해남부해역과 서해, 1976년의 기후체제전환은 전해역의 겨울철 수온변화에서만 그 영향이 나타난다. 1998년 기후체제전환 이후, 서해, 동중국해, 동해 남부의 수온은 점차 감소하지만, 동해 북부해역은 1988년 기후체제전환 이후 증가하는 형태이다.

톱다리개미허리노린재[Riptortus pedestris (Fabricius) (Hemiptera: Alydidae)]의 방제를 위해서 집합페로몬트랩이 일부 사용되고 있으나 실제 방제 효과가 있는지에 대한 연구는 드믄 편이다. 2013년 안동지역 콩 경작지에서 집합페로몬트랩의 설치시기에 따른 노린재 방제 효과에 대한 연구 중 트랩설치가 콩의 재배 후반부에 톱다리개미허리노린재 밀도를 오히려 상승시키는 것을 발견하고, 이를 실험적으로 확인하기 위해 안동대학교 시험포에서 추가 연구를 수행하였다. 본 발표에서는 그 결과를 보고하고 토론하고자 한다.

This study was performed to determine the transfer rates of each foodborne pathogen from pork meat packaging during the processing. We analyzed the transfer rate of Listeria monocytogenes from contaminated pork meat to worker's hands (wearing polyethylene gloves, PEG; cotton gloves, CG; and bare hands), cutting boards and knives, and vice versa. Transfer rate of CG 100.00% was higher than that of bare hands 2.513% and PEG 1.511%. In particular, when wearing CG, the transfer rate from the CG to bare hands with CG was 0.08%. Also, the range of transfer rates from contaminated pork meat to cutting board and knife was 0.352-3.791%. In contrast, transfer rates from the workers’ hands (with PEG/CG and bare hands) to cutting board, knife, and pork meat ranged from 0.001 to 0.141%. There was a lower transfer rate from workers’ hands than from pork meat. These findings indicate that use of PEG could effectively reduce or prevent the cross-contamination compared to CG and provide important information concerning the consecutive transfer of L. monocytogenes during food processing.

In this study, the emission characteristics of landfill gas (LFG) were investigated with respect to reduced sulfur compounds (RSC) and elemental mercury. To describe their emission characteristics accurately, methane and dilution-to-threshold (D/T) ratio were also analyzed as reference. LFG samples were collected in three different pathways; (1) old landfill (LF), (2) new LF, and (3) composite from both LFs. Differences in RSC concentrations between two LFG samples were relatively insignificant in the case of H2S, CS2, and SO2. On the other hand, a significant reduction in CH3SH and DMS concentrations was observed from old landfill. The concentration data of Hg and methane showed a similar spatial trend between new and old LF, as seen from RSC. In general, a large quantity of trace gas pollutants came out from new rather than old LF. The correlation analysis indicated strong relationship between most sulfur compounds, while it is not for other components including Hg, CH4, and D/T ratio. It suggests that trace composition of LFG comply well with the maturity of landfill.

Failure risk investigation of any structure in a seismic zone can be done by the seismic probabilistic risk assessment (SPRA), which became a very attractive area of research in terms of safety measurement. This paper introduces such kind of concept to identify which magnitude in a specific seismic zone will contribute more vulnerable failure point in a structure. Here, for implement this idea a case study on a concrete gravity dam has been carried out. In order to make a correlation between the magnitude and failure risk contribution based on different damage stage, a combination of seismic hazard analysis and the probability of structural collapse is adopted. Therefore, the deaggregation of the mean annual frequency of failure risk by magnitude is used in this study to quantify four different limit stages of failure identification criteria. Consequently, from analyzing the result, in case of concrete gravity dam, this deaggregation approach shows the tensile crack in the base looks more vulnerable damage stage for the specific seismic zone.

This paper concern the performance of tuned mass damper (TMD) and dynamic behaviour of TMD controlled structure considering constitutive material model. A three-storied reinforced concrete frame is modelled using OpenSees for this study. Considering the non-linear materials model, the performance of the TMD not only rely on the mass, stiffness and damping of the system but also on the parameter to be controlled by TMD and the input ground motion types. For this reason in this study some practical, sine sweep and damped sine sweep are considered as input excitation to the evaluate exact dynamic behaviour of TMD controlled structure.
