This study proposes the use of a cobalt-based Prussian blue analogue (Co-PBA; potassium cobalt hexacyanoferrate), as an adsorbent for the cost-effective recovery of aqueous ammonium ions. The characterization of Co-PBA involved various techniques, including Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, nitrogen adsorption-desorption analysis, and zeta potential. The prepared Co-PBA reached an adsorption equilibrium for ammonium ions within approximately 480 min, which involved both surface adsorption and subsequent diffusion into the interior. The isotherm experiment revealed a maximum adsorption capacity of 37.29 mg/g, with the Langmuir model indicating a predominance of chemical monolayer adsorption. Furthermore, the material consistently demonstrated adsorption efficiency across a range of pH conditions. Notably, adsorption was observed even when competing cations were present. Co-PBA emerges as a readily synthesized adsorbent, underscoring its efficacy in ammonium removal and selectivity toward ammonium.

최근 전 세계적으로 VRㆍAR 시장이 지속적으로 성장하고 있는 추세로 국내외 기업들이 VRㆍAR 관련 기술 및 콘텐츠 개발에 적극적으로 나서고 있는 상황이다. 그러나 VRㆍAR 기술에 전통적인 교육 방식이 결합된 산업인 에 듀테크 분야에 있어서는 새로운 혁신적 교육 모형 및 비즈니스 모델에 대한 연구가 부족한 편으로 에듀테크를 구체 적으로 실현할 수 있는 기술과 사업 환경 개선을 위한 연구가 필요한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구는 기존에 널리 활용되 어 온 터치 패널 기반 디스플레이툰 콘텐츠와 VR툰 콘텐츠의 사용자 경험을 비교 분석해 VR툰 개발에 필요한 사용 성 요소들을 선정하는 것을 연구 목적으로 삼았다. 연구 수행을 위해 태블릿 PC툰 및 VR툰을 분석 도구로 선정했으 며, 10대부터 40대까지의 30명(남자 19명, 여자 11명)의 실험 참가자들을 대상으로 기기를 사용하게 한 후 설문을 진행했다. 설문은 AttrakDiff 평가 방법을 통한 정량적 방법과 9가지 항목(만족도, 신규성, 조작성, 창의성, 이해성, 교육성, 흥미성, 참여성, 표현력)에 따른 정성적 평가방법으로 구성되었으며, 결과를 토대로 두 기기의 사용성을 비교했다. 그 결과 VR툰은 실용성은 떨어지나 자극성은 상대적으로 높은 기기인 반면 태블릿 PC툰은 자극성은 떨어지나 실용성은 상대적으로 높은 기기인 것으로 평가되었으며 전반적으로 태블릿 PC툰에 비해 VR툰에 대한 만족도가 컸다.

인공지능기술은 사용자의 언어, 목소리 톤, 표정을 인지하고 학습하여 다양한 맥락에서 사용자의 감정에 대응할 수 있도록 발전하고 있다. 여러 인공지능 기반 서비스 중에서 특히 사용자와의 커뮤니케이션이 중요한 서비스 다수는 감정을 표현하는 인터랙션을 제공한다. 그러나 인공지능 시스템의 감정을 표현하는 수단으로서의 비언어적 인터 랙션에 관한 연구는 아직 미비하다. 이에 조명효과 중 특히 색상과 깜빡임 운동을 중심으로 인공지능 디바이스의 감성 인터랙션을 연구하였다. 본 연구에서 구현한 인공지능 디바이스 프로토타입은 red, yellow, green, blue, purple, white 6가지의 조명 색상과 느림, 중간, 빠른 세 단계 속도의 깜빡임 효과로 감정을 표현한다. 프로토타입을 활용하여 20대부터 30대 남녀 50명을 대상으로 인공지능 디바이스의 색상별, 속도별 조명 효과가 표현하고 있는 감정에 응답 하는 실험을 진행하였다. 실험 결과 각 조명 색상은 기존 색채감성연구에서 드러난 감성적 이미지와 대체로 유사한 감정을 나타내는 것으로 평가되었다. 조명의 깜빡임 속도는 감정의 각성과 밸런스의 변화에 영향을 주었으며, 이 때 각성의 변화 양상은 모든 색상에서 유사한 기조를 보였다. 밸런스 변화 양상은 기존 색채감성연구의 감성적 이미지와 어느 정도 관련이 있지만 색상 별 차이가 있는 것으로 관찰되었다. 인공지능 시스템을 탑재한 사물의 종류와 인공지능 디바이스가 점점 다양해지는 현 시점에서, 본 연구결과는 조명을 통한 인공지능의 감성 인터랙션을 설계할 때 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Prussian blue is known as a superior material for selective adsorption of radioactive cesium ions; however, the separation of Prussian blue from aqueous suspension, due to particle size of around several tens of nanometers, is a hurdle that must be overcome. Therefore, this study aims to develop granule type adsorbent material containing Prussian blue in order to selectively adsorb and remove radioactive cesium in water. The surface of granular activated carbon was grafted using a covalent organic polymer (COP-19) in order to enhance Prussian blue immobilization. To maximize the degree of immobilization and minimize subsequent detachment of Prussian blue, several immobilization pathways were evaluated. As a result, the highest cesium adsorption performance was achieved when Prussian blue was synthesized in-situ without solid-liquid separation step during synthesis. The sample obtained under optimal conditions was further analyzed by scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive spectrometry, and it was confirmed that Prussian blue, which is about 9.7% of the total weight, was fixed on the surface of the activated carbon; this level of fixing represented a two-fold improvement compared to before COP-19 modification. In addition, an elution test was carried out to evaluate the stability of Prussian blue. Leaching of Prussian blue and cesium decreased by 1/2 and 1/3, respectively, compared to those levels before modification, showing increased stability due to COP-19 grafting. The Prussian blue based adsorbent material developed in this study is expected to be useful as a decontamination material to mitigate the release of radioactive materials.

In this study, we compared the MZVI (Microscale Zero-Valent Iron) and NZVI (Nanoscale Zero-Valent Iron) for reactivity and mobility in a column to reduce nitrate, which is a major pollutant in Korea, and investigated the effect of operational parameters on the NZVI filled column. For the comparison of MZVI and NZVI, samples were collected for 990 minutes using fractionator in the similar operation conditions (MZVI 10g, NZVI 2g). The nitrate reduction efficiency of NZVI was about 5 times higher than that of MZVI, which was about 7.45% and 38.75% when using MZVI and NZVI, respectively. In the mobility experiment, the MZVI descended due to gravity while NZVI moved up with water flow due to its small size. Furthermore, the optimum condition of NZVI filled column was determined by changing the flow rate and pH. The amount of Fe ions was increased as the pH of the nitrate solution was lowered, and the nitrate removal rate was similar due to the higher yield of hydroxyl groups. The removal rate of nitrate nitrogen was stable while flow rate was increased from 0.5 mL/min to 2.0 mL/min (empty bed contact time: 2.26 min to 0.57 min). NZVI has a high reduction rate of nitrate, but it also has a high mobility, so both of reactivity and mobility need to be considered when NZVI is applied for drinking water treatment.

It is necessary to develop a mobile water production system in order to provide stable water supply in case of disasters such as floods or earthquakes. In this study, we developed a modular mobile water production system capable of producing water for various uses such as domestic water and drinking water while improving applicability in various raw water sources. The water production system consists of three stages of filtration (sand filtration - activated carbon filtration - pressure filtration) to produce domestic water and an additional reverse osmosis process to produce drinking water. In laboratory and field experiments, the domestic water production system showed excellent treatment efficiency for particulate matter, but showed limitations in the treatment of dissolved substances such as dissolved organic matter. In addition, ultraviolet irradiation was considered as additional disinfection step, because it does not form precipitates of manganese oxides after disinfection. Reverse osmosis process was added to increase the removal efficiency of dissolved substances and the treated water satisfied drinking water quality standards. Fluorescence analysis of dissolved organic matter showed that the fulvic acid-like substances in raw water was successfully removed in the reverse osmosis process. The mobile water production system developed in this study is expected to be used not only in water supply in case of disaster, but also widely used in islands and rural area.

CRT와 달리 PDP (Plasmadisplaypanel)에서의 휘도는 입력 계조에 따라 선형적으로 증가한다. 이와같은 휘도 특성으로 인해 PDP에서는 역감마 보정을 수행하여야 한다. 저계조에서 CRT의 휘도 증가율은PDP와 비교하여 매우 낮다. 따라서, 역감마 보정 후 저계조 영역에서 표시 가능한 휘도의 개수가 감소하게 되어 의사윤곽이 발생한다. 이와 같은 문제점의 해결을 위해 디더링 또는 오차확산이 사용되고 있다. 그러나, PDP의 저계조에서 이웃한 두계조의 휘도 차가 인간 시각이 인지 가능할 정도로 크기 때문에 디더링 또는 오차확산의 결과에서 소수화소들이 isolated 도트로 인지된다. 본 논문에서는 시공간적인 문턱값 변조를 통해 PDP에서의 저계조 재현 성능을 향상시키는 방법을 제안한다.

In this study, the antibiotic components in the final effluent from the 12 wastewater treatment facilities located in the Nakdong River basin were investigated, and the correlation between organic matters, nutrients and antibiotics was analyzed. In the final effluent of the wastewater treatment facilities, three sulfonamides antibiotics (sulfamethazine, sulfathiazole, sulfachlorpyridazine) and tetracyclines antibiotics (oxytetracycline, doxycycline) were detected. Sulfamethazine were detected at all points and ranged from 10.398 to 278.784 ng/L. Sulfathiazole were detected at 6 points (Andong, Gumi, Hapcheon, Miryang, Uiryeong, Haman), and ranged from 23.773 to 144.468 ng/L. The correlation coefficients between sulfathiazole and TSS, COD, TOC, NH3-N, NO2-N, and T-N components were high in the range of 0.73 to 0.92. The correlation coefficient between sulfamethazine and T-N was 0.48, and the correlation with the rest of the water quality components was low. The correlation coefficient between sulfamethazine and sulfathiazole was 0.78. Through this study, it was confirmed that the concentration of sulfonamides antibiotics was higher than the concentration of tetracyclines antibiotics in the final effluent of 12 wastewater treatment facilities in the Nakdong River basin, and the concentration of sulfathiazole increased with organic matters and nutrients.

This research investigated to reduce mass of heavy metals in AMD(acid mine drainage) by microbial mats formed on the channel bed. As, Cd, Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn components were monitored in water and microbial mats, at three points (AMD1, AMD2 and AMD3), in a total of six times. Average daily discharge mass of heavy metals was highest in July, Fe component contained more than 76% of total discharge mass. Discharge mass of heavy metals of AMD and heavy metal contents in microbial mats decreased with downstream at channel. Heavy metal components that average daily discharge mass is over 0.5 kg were Fe, Cu and Zn, and they were highest in July. Average removal efficiency of heavy metals in AMD was highest about 21% in Fe, this microbial mats were due to form from precipitation of Fe component in AMD by aerobic iron bacteria. Relative content for As component in microbial mats than AMD was over 16 times, this As components were due to absorb at iron oxide and iron hydroxide on the surface of microbial mats.

For this research, they were monitored CO2 flux and environmental factors (CO2 concentration, soil temperature, soil moisture, soil organic carbon, soil pH, soil Eh) in foreshore, paddy field and woods sites at the winter season (January 2009) and the summer season (September 2009). Seasonal and spatial variations for monitored data were analyzed, and linear regression functions of CO2 flux as environmental factors were estimated. CO2 fluxes averaged between surface and atmosphere monitored in foreshore and paddy field at the winter season were shown -8 mgCO2m-2hr-1 and -25 mgCO2m-2hr-1, respectively. CO2 fluxes averaged between surface and atmosphere monitored in foreshore and paddy field at the summer season were shown 47 mgCO2m-2hr-1 and 117 mgCO2m-2hr-1, respectively. Thus, CO2 was sunk from atmosphere to surface at the winter season and it was emitted from surface to atmosphere at the summer season. CO2 fluxes in woods site were emitted 145 mgCO2m-2hr-1 at the winter season and 279 mgCO2m-2hr-1 at the summer season.
