꽃노랑총채벌레(Frankliniella occidentalis)와 오이총채벌레(Thrips palmi)는 경제적으로 오이의 중요한 해충이며 이들의 방제를 위해 사용 되는 화학약제는 효과적일 수 있으나 생식용으로 소비되는 오이에서 자주 사용하는 것은 바람직하지 않다. 따라서, 이들의 방제를 위해 화학농약 을 대체할 수 있는 천적인 미끌애꽃노린재(Orius laevigatus)의 방제효율을 증대시킬 수 있는 방법으로 미끌애꽃노린재의 천적유지식물을 선발하 였다. 실험실 조건에서 4가지 식물종에 대한 미끌애꽃노린재 부화율, 출현율, 생존률, 생식력을 조사하였고 오이 재배시설 내에서 선발된 2종의 천적유지식물에 대하여 미끌애꽃노린재 밀도를 조사하였다. 미끌애꽃노린재 알 부화율은 채송화가 92%로 가장 높았고 출현율은 바질이 81.4% 로 가장 높았으며, 생존률은 채송화와 바질이 각각 70.8%와 69.1%로 통계적 차이를 보이지 않았다. 미끌애꽃노린재 생식력과 산란기간은 모두 채송화가 각각 209.8개와 20.2일로 가장 좋았고 바질은 각각 160.2개와 15.8일이었다. 식물체 꽃의 개화시기는 화밀을 대체먹이로 하는 미끌애 꽃노린재의 생존에 중요한 요소이기 때문에 채송화와 바질의 개화시기를 조사한 결과 채송화는 7월에서 10월 개화하는 반면 바질은 4월부터 9월 까지 개화하였다. 시설 오이에 미끌애꽃노린재의 천적유지식물로 바질과 채송화를 투입하고 미끌애꽃노린재 밀도를 조사한 결과 바질이 투입된 곳에서 밀도가 높게 조사된 반면 채송화를 투입한 곳에서는 거의 보이지 않았다. 따라서, 바질은 미끌애꽃노린재의 천적유지식물로서 잠재적 가 치가 가장 높았으며 총채벌레 방제를 위해 미끌애꽃노린재를 이용할 경우 바질을 천적유지식물로 동시에 사용한다면 미끌애꽃노린재의 생물적 방제효과에 대한 효력을 증대시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

UAM 등 신교통수단의 등장으로 인해 고속도로는 경쟁력 제고가 필요한 실정이다. 해외 국가에서는 고속도로의 제한속도를 상향하 고 있으며 국내에서도 고속도로 경쟁력 확보를 위한 방안으로 초고속도로 도입을 고려하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 초고속도로 도입에 따른 사회적 편익을 분석하고자 하였다. 분석을 위해 교통수요분석 프로그램 TransCAD를 활용하였으며 속도 상향 시나리오별 (140km/h ~ 200km/h) 편익을 도출하였다. 그 결과, 전국 고속도로의 속도를 상향할 때 전국 도로 네트워크의 총편익이 증가하는 것으 로 나타났다. 본 연구는 향후 초고속도로 도입을 위한 정책 기초 자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

PURPOSES : A methodology for estimating micro-emission factors using vehicle trajectory data collected from navigation and DTG devices and basic emission factors for each vehicle type of the MOtor Vehicle Emission Simulator (MOVES) is presented. The methodology can calculate micro-emissions based on only the traffic volume and average speed for each vehicle type. METHODS : Cluster analysis was performed by accumulating the trajectories of individual vehicles on a specific road section into speed groups in which vehicles drove with the same range of average speed. Then, the micro-emission factors were estimated for each speed group. RESULTS : Using the vehicle trajectory data revealed that the emissions calculated from micro-emission factors estimated by the proposed methodology were similar to the sum of the emissions calculated from the vehicle trajectories for each vehicle. CONCLUSIONS : The micro-emission factor database for each road type and vehicle type proposed in this study should be useful for estimating vehicle emissions on the road. The proposed method can calculate emissions in the same way as the macroscopic analysis method, using the traffic volume, average speed, and link length.

PURPOSES : This study prioritizes the potential technology for establishing an efficient traffic control in the ramp junction of urban deep underground tunnels in the future. We considered most of the applicable technologies that ensure traffic safety at the on-off ramp junction. METHODS : This study proposes a methodology to prioritize the applicable technology for establishing efficient traffic control in the ramp junction of an urban deep underground tunnel using an analytical hierarchy process (AHP). First, an AHP structure was developed. Second, an individual survey was conducted to collect the opinions of road and transportation experts. Based on the survey results, weights were estimated depending on the relevant criteria of the developed structure. The estimated weights were verified using the consistency index (CI) and consistency ratio (CR). In addition, a sensitivity analysis was performed to confirm the reliability of the estimated weights. Finally, the potential technology for an efficient traffic control in the ramp junction of an urban deep underground tunnel was prioritized. RESULTS : In the first level of hierarchy, traffic demand control had the highest priority, and ramp metering, section speed control, and shoulder lane control were selected in the second level of hierarchy. CONCLUSIONS : These results implied that prioritizing would be useful in establishing traffic operation strategies for traffic safety when constructing and opening deep underground tunnels in urban areas in the future.

Phthalate is an endocrine disruptor that interferes with homeostasis and developmental regulation. It is highly toxic to the environment and is associated with various diseases of the human body. Using biological samples from 140 adult subjects, to evaluate the influencing factors which are related to contaminant concentration levels, we used correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis. Lastly, in order to analyze the health effects related to exposure to phthalates, we conducted a risk assessment by estimating acceptable daily intake exposure according to the influential factors. When we compared the concentration level according to influential factors, in general, the subjects who had engaged in home remodeling work had higher urinary phthalate metabolite concentrations levels than the subjects who had not engaged in home remodeling work. We can confirm statistically significant differences in DBP metabolites. In addition, we can confirm the concentration appeared higher in the categories such as using air freshener, sofa and foods. Through conducting a risk assessment of DEHP, BBzP, DiBP, and DnBP by using data on phthalate metabolite concentration in urine, it was found that the average concentration of all metabolites did not exceed TDI.

국제해사기구(IMO)를 중심으로 해사안전, 해양환경 분야에 대한 국제기술 규제에 대한 논의가 활발히 진행되고 있다. IMO의 전문위원회에서는 선박평형수 기술, e-Navigation, 온실가스 배출 저감기술, 수중소음 저감기술 등에 대해 공동 대응하는 한편 자국의 이익을 극대화하기 위한 기술표준 선점을 위해 경쟁을 하고 있다. 우리나라에서도 중장기적인 관점에서 해사안전 분야에 있어서 국제사회에서 선도할 수 있는 기술에 대한 개발 필요성이 증가하고 있다.

The objective of the present study was to estimate the health risk level for children exposed to phthalate and identify the pathways including indoor floor dust, surface wipe and hand wipe in elementary-schools and institutes. The samples of indoor place were collected at children's facilities (50 elementary-schools and 46 academies) in summer (Aug ~ Sept, 2008), winter (Dec 2008 ~ Feb, 2009) and Spring (Mar ~ Apr, 2009) periods. Hazard Index (HI) were estimated for the non-carcinogens and the examined phthalate were diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), dibutyl-n-butyl phthalate (DnBP), butylbenzyl phthalate (BBzP). Risk analysis indicates that did not exceed 0.01 (HI) for all subjects in all facilities it's 50^th % and 95^th % value. For DEHP, DnBP and BBzP their detection rates through multi-pathways were high and their risk based on health risk assessment was also observed to be acceptable.

The aim of this study was to calculate the health risks which children were exposed to trace metals through several pathways including air, floor dust, wipe and hand wipes in elementary-schools and academies. The samples were collected at children's facilities (50 elementary-schools and 46 academies) in summer (Aug ~ Sept, 2008), winter (Dec 2008 ~ Feb, 2009) and Spring (Mar ~ Apr, 2009) periods. The lifetime Excess Cancer Risks (ECRs) were estimated for carcinogen trace elements such as As, Cd, and Cr. For carcinogens, the Excess Cancer Risk (ECR) was calculated by considering the process of deciding Cancer Potency Factor (CPF) and Age Dependent Adjust Factor (ADAF) of the data of adults. Hazard Quotients (HQs) were estimated for the non-carcinogens trace metals like Cd, Cr, Hg and Pb. The average ECRs for young children were 1×10^-9~1×10^-8 (50%th percentile) level in all facilities. Non-carcinogens did not exceed 0.1 for all subjects in all facilities. For trace metals their risk based on health risk assessment was also observed to be acceptable.

In the environment of 450mm wafers production known as the next-generation semiconductor production process, one of the most significant features is the full automation over the whole manufacturing processes involved. The full automation system for 450mm

In 450mm wafers production environment for next-generation semiconductor production, one of the most significant features is the adoption of full automation to the whole manufacturing processes involved. The full automation system applied to the whole manufacturing processes will prevent the workers from intervening the manufacturing processes as much as possible and increase the importance of each individual wafer noticeably, and thus require a more robust scheduling system for entire semiconductor manufacturing processes. The scheduling system for 450mm wafers production also should be capable of monitoring the status of each individual wafer and collecting useful fab data in real time. Based on data (or information) gathered in each process, the real-time scheduling system function efficiently to control the whole semiconductor manufacturing processes. In this study, we first carry out preliminary survey on the system requirements and the necessary functions for constructing the real time scheduling system with considering the changes from 300mm wafer production environment to 450mm wafer production environment, and then propose the scheduler system architectures for the cluster-type production processes which are the general in 450mm wafer production environment for the efficient production scheduling. The system architectures proposed in this study involve the modules for real-time scheduling, the modules for supporting the cluster-type production, the modules for finding optimal schedules, and so on. Also, we provide the specifications of the key required functions and capabilities of the modules and the relationship among the modules proposed.
