서해 상에서 저기압과 태풍 통과 시 해상상태를 비교 분석을 하였다. 1999년 4월 9일∼12일에 강한 저기압이 화중지방에서 발생하여 서해를 지나 한반도에 영향을 미친 경우의 9905호 태풍 NEIL과 9907호 태풍 OLGA가 서해를 통과하면서 서해 연안에 영향을 미친 사례이다. 봄철 이동성 저기압 발생 시 에는 저기압 중심부의 풍속이 주변 지역에 비해 위상이 빠르고 강하게 나타나며, 이에 수반되어 발생하는 파고는 주변의 지형적 영향으로 다르게 나타날 수 있다. 이에 비해 두 태풍에 의해 발생한 파고는 태풍 Olga가 서해 남부해역에서 북상할 시기에 칠발도 근해상에서 5m이상의 높은 유의파고를 발생한 것 이외에는 저기압 통과 시보다 파고가 낮다. 해일도 태풍보다 저기압 통과 시에 더 크게 나타나는데, 이러한 결과는 강하지만 국지적이고 빠르게 이동하는 태풍보다 종관적이고 느리게 이동하는 기압장에 의해 발생한 파도와 해일이 더 클 수 있음을 보여준다.

2002년 7월 8일에서 10일까지 AWS와 CTD를 이용하여 서해 중부 연안역에서 해양기상관측을 실시하였다. 수심이 낮은 태안반도 연안역에서 17˚C 이하의 냉수가 출현하였고, 36˚20'N와 36˚30'N 사이에 정선을 따라 조석전선이 형성되었다. 기온의 분포는 수온의 분포양상과 유사하게 나타났다. 덕적도 주변(Al)에서 24시간 연속관측결과, 조류와 같은 주기로 북동부로부터 고온저염수와 남서부로부터 저온고염수의 이동이 관측되었다. 관측기간 중에 7월 8일 23시에서 9일 1시 30분까지, 9일 3시에서 5시까지 해무가 발생하였다. 해무발생 시 북태평양 고기압이 약해지면서 기온은 18˚C까지 하강하였고, 바람은 2-4m/s의 북동풍이 불었다. 위성사진을 분석하였을 때, 이 안개는 표층수온이 높은 황해서부를 중심으로 발생하여 시간이 지나면서 관측해역으로 확장된 증기안개이다. 이 해무는 기온과 풍속이 상승하면서 소멸되었다.

The purposes of this study were to investigate the customers' perception on nutrition information provided on a family restaurant menu, to examine customers' intention to use the nutrition information when eating out if nutrition information would be provided, and to identify what kinds of nutrient information the customers want. A total of 265 respondents were answered. Female was sixty-six percents, and eighty-four percent of the respondents was less than thirty-five years old. The patrons' perception about nutrition information on the menu showed the level of 2.5 points out of 5 points, which pointed out that family restaurant patrons were not satisfied with receiving nutritional information related to the menu. The customers perceived that restaurants had responsibilities for providing nutritional information about menu items. Sixty-six percent of respondents showed a positive intention to the question item about how much the customer would use nutritional information provided on the menu. The customers, who were female (p<0.05), who had a good health status, who showed higher interest on weight control (p<0.01), and who were health-oriented (p<0.01), showed the higher intention to use nutritional information. Nutrient information in which the customers were interested strongly was a fat content, followed by cholesterol content and calorie information. According to the trends of eating out, preferring family restaurants, and increasing interests in a healthful menu, nutrition information demand in restaurant operations would be increased rapidly in the near future. Providing nutrition information at the point of menu choice might result in the improvement of customers' nutritional and health status by encouraging proper dietary habits of patrons as well as providing nutritional education. Therefore, it is recommended that government and restaurant firms should recognize the importance of nutrition information and make strategic plans for the future.

This study sought to determine family restaurant patrons' attitudes toward nutrition and healthy menus. A written questionnaire was handed out to 300 dine-in customers at the three different sites of T brand family restaurant. A total of 265 questionnaires were usable for data analysis, resulting in 88% response rate. Two attitude statements eliciting the strongest agreement were that 'Diet and chronic diseases risk are closely connected each other(4.44)' and 'Koreans are more nutrition & health conscious than they were in the past(4.41)'. The attitude statement-that nutrition is important when I eat out- received the lowest scores(2.92), which indicated that nutrition was not yet considered the most important factor when dining out. 23% of the respondents were interested in healthful foods, while 30% said they were unconcerned. Nutrition conscious group showed significantly (p<.000) higher attitude scores for most of statements than unconcerned group. Significant differences were found in age groups(p<.05, p<.01, p<.001), income levels(p<.05), educational levels(p<.05), health status groups(p<.05), and weight control interest groups(p<.05). Older respondents, respondents with higher income and educational levels were more interested in nutrition and healthy menus. Respondents who reported good health status and showed higher interest in weight control were more interested in nutrition and healthy menus. These findings indicate that restaurant firms should respond to consumers' increased interest in nutrition and healthy menus by offering healthful menus and increasing nutrition marketing activities. This may positively result in increasing customer counts and revenue as well as customer satisfaction level and brand image of restaurant firms. Moreover, restaurant firms are strongly encouraged to play an active role in promoting public's nutritional and health status because increasing consumption of meals away from home will seriously affect good health of our consumers.

The purposes of this research were to; (a) identify useful information source; (b) assess the usefulness of the Internet as an information source; and (c) assess the degree of Internet utilization for purchasing process in food service industry. The results were as follows; 1. 'personal experience and colleague recommendation' was perceived as the most useful information source, whereas the most frequently used source was 'Internet web site' for real purchasing practice. 2. the most frequently used purchasing activity through Internet was 'online ordering', followed by 'gathering product/component information', however e-marketplace or Internet bidding were less performed by Internet. 3. acquisition of real time information, rapidity, accuracy, and increasing effectiveness of purchasing process were reported the advantages of Internet utilization. 4. respondents somewhat or strongly agreed with the importance of Internet in terms of present and future purchasing management. The results of the research suggest that Internet should be able to improve purchasing process and enhance buyer-supplier relationship directly or indirectly, therefore food service industry should consider making attempt to new purchasing systems through Internet for strategic sourcing and effective procurement management.

기상청에서 덕적도와 칠발도에 설치한 해양기상 관측부이 자료를 이용하여 해양 및 대기 특성과 해양-대기간의 열교환을 살펴보았다. 각 관측지점에서의 일평균 현열속 및 잠열속은 벌크공기역학법을 적용하여 계산하였다. 표층수온은 기온과 같이 뚜렷한 연주기를 보이지만, 1달 정도 시간지연을 가진다. 해면기압은 7월에 가장 낮았고 겨울에 가장 높았으며, 습도는 5-8월 사이 비교적 높았다. 풍속은 가을과 겨울에 평균 5m/s 이상으로 강한 편이었다. 현열속 분석결과 가을부터 겨울에 걸처 해양의 열손실이 두드러졌으며, 봄과 여름에는 반대로 대기에서 해양으로의 약한 열전달이 이루어져 연중 순현열속은 해양에서 대기로의 열전달을 보여주었다. 잠열속 분석결과 봄에서 여름까지 대기의 열손실이 나타나지만, 그 외 기간에는 해양의 열손실이 월등히 크게 나타났다. 현열속과 잠열속의 크기를 비교해 볼 때,1-2월을 제외하고는 전반적으로 현열속보다 잠열속에 의한 해양의 열손실이 우세함을 알 수 있었다. 관측지점별로 분석한 열속의 크기와 변동폭은 대체적으로 덕적도에서 더 크게 나타났다. 일정 기간을 선정한 사례연구에서, 1998년 5월사례의 경우 현열속과 잠열속 모두 칠발도에서 더 크고, 1996년 11월 사례의 경우에는 덕적도에서 훨씬 크게 나타났다.

상층과 하층의 대기구조 특성을 알아내기 위하여, 해양의 특성을 잘 표현한다고 사료되는 섬(충남 보령시 오천면 외연도리)을 관측지점으로 선택하여 라디오존데를 이용하여 대기의 연직구조를 관측하였다. 관측결과를 이용하여, 저 고기압이 통과할 때의 상대습도, 기온과 바람의 변화를 분석하였으며 각각의 경우에 대해 결과치들을 비교하였다. 해양과 육상에서의 대기구조를 비교하기 위하여 오산의 관측 결과를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 상대습도가 고 저기압의 통과에 따라 변화함을 알 수 있었다. 즉, 저기압이 다가올 때는 상대습도는 하층보다 상층에서 먼저 증가하였으나 고기압이 다가올 때는 상층에서 10%까지 급격하게 감소하였다. 또, 상대습도 변화폭이 육상에서보다 큰 것으로 분석되었다. 앞으로 해양과 육상에서의 수증기간의 관계를 계절별, 그리고 일별로 동시간 관측을 통해 찾고자 한다.

Pb(Zr0.5Ti0.5)O3 강유전체의 상부 전극 크기를 변화시키며 펄스 전기장에 의한 전자 방출 특성 및 열화에 대하여 연구하였다. 상부 전극 크기 감소에 따라 상부 전극 모서리 부근에서 분극 반전에 기여하는 강유전체 분율이 증가되어 분극이 높아졌으며, ANSYS 5.3에 의한 전기장 시뮬레이션을 통하여 비대칭 전극 구조에서의 상부 전극 모서리 부근의 전기장이 증가한다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 분극 증가에 기여하는 상부 전극 모서리 주변의 강유전체의 부피 및 전극크기당 전자 방출량은 상부 전극 크기에 무관하였다. 전자 방출 횟수에 따라 상부 전극이 침식되어 분극 및 유전 상수는 감소하였으나 전극 복구에 의해 재생되었으며, 강유전체의 표면 손상에 의해 항전계 및 유전 손실은 증가되었다.

In this study, to investigate an optimal configuration method for the modeling system, we performed an optimization experiment by controlling the types of compilers and libraries, and the number of CPU cores because it was important to provide reliable model data very quickly for the national air quality forecast. We were made up the optimization experiment of twelve according to compilers (PGI and Intel), MPIs (mvapich-2.0, mvapich-2.2, and mpich-3.2) and NetCDF (NetCDF-3.6.3 and NetCDF-4.1.3) and performed wall clock time measurement for the WRF and CMAQ models based on the built computing resources. In the result of the experiment according to the compiler and library type, the performance of the WRF (30 min 30 s) and CMAQ (47 min 22 s) was best when the combination of Intel complier, mavapich-2.0, and NetCDF-3.6.3 was applied. Additionally, in a result of optimization by the number of CPU cores, the WRF model was best performed with 140 cores (five calculation servers), and the CMAQ model with 120 cores ( five calculation servers). While the WRF model demonstrated obvious differences depending on the number of CPU cores rather than the types of compilers and libraries, CMAQ model demonstrated the biggest differences on the combination of compilers and libraries.

Provider-oriented weather information has been rapidly changing to become more customer-oriented and personalized. Given the increasing interest in wellness and health topics, the demand for health weather information, and biometeorology, also increased. However, research on changes in the human body according to weather conditions is still insufficient due to various constraints, and interdisciplinary research is also lacking. As part of an effort to change that, this study surveyed medical practitioners at an actual treatment site, using questionnaires, to investigate what kind of weather information they could utilize. Although there was a limit to the empirical awareness that medical staff had about weather information, most respondents noted that there is a correlation between disease and weather, with cardiovascular diseases (coronary artery disease (98.5%) and hypertension (95.9% ), skin diseases (atopic dermatitis (100%), sunburn (93.8%)) being the most common weather-sensitive ailments. Although there are subject-specific differences, most weather-sensitive diseases tend to be affected by temperature and humidity in general. Respiratory and skin diseases are affected by wind and solar radiation, respectively.

Background : Ancanthopanax senticosus Fruits Extracts were studied in order to develop as functional pigment. The extracts were evaluated for physicochemical properties and biological activity. Methods and Results : Ancanthopanax senticosus fruits extracts were extracted by the rate of ethanol and distilled water in 1% citric acid. The extracts were evaluated for physicochemical properties by chromaticity, total sugar content, free sugar content, acidity, total anthocyanin contents. Total sugar and acidity were 0.10 brix and 0.44% respectively. Fructose and glucose were 1.54% and 0.36% respectively. The 60% ethanol extracts showed the highest extraction yield and total anthocyanin content. The α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of 60% and 80% ethanol extracts higher than other extracts. Conclusion : These results suggest that Ancanthopanax senticosus fruits extracts may be useful purple pigment for anti-diabetes activity.

This study analyzes the PM10 characteristics (particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter less than 10 ㎛), concentration, and emissions in eight large South Korean cities (Seoul, Incheon, Daejeon, Daegu, Gwangju, Ulsan, Busan, Jeju). The annual median of PM10 concentration showed a decline of 0.02~1.97 ㎍/㎥ in the regions, except for Incheon, which recorded an annual 0.02 ㎍/㎥ increase. The monthly distribution levels were high in spring, winter, fall, and the summer, but were lower in summer for all regions except for Ulsan. These differences are thought to be due to the dust in spring and the cleaning effect of precipitation in summer. The variation in concentrations during the day (diurnal variation) showed that PM10 levels were very high during the rush hour and that this was most extreme in the cities (10.00 and 18.00-21.00). The total annual PM10 emissions analysis suggested that there had been a general decrease, except for Jeju. On-road mobile (OM) sources, which contributed a large proportion of the particulates in most regions, decreased, but fugitive dust (FD) sources increased in the remaining regions, except for Daegu. The correlation analysis between PM10 concentrations and emissions showed that FD could be used as a valid, positive predictor of PM10 emissions in Seoul (74.5% (p<0.05)), Dajeon (47.2% (p<0.05)), and Busan (59.1% (p<0.01)). Furthermore, industrial combustion (IC) was also a significant predictor in Incheon (61.7% (p<0.01)), and on-road mobile (OC) sources were a valid predictor in Daegu (24.8% (p<0.05)).

The effect of weather on disease was investigated based on results reported in academic papers. Weather-sensitive disease was selected by analyzing the frequency distributions of diseases and correlations between diseases and meteorological factors (e.g., temperature, humidity, pressure, and wind speed). Correlations between disease and meteorological factors were most frequently reported for myocardial infarction (MI) (28%) followed by chronic ischemic heart disease (CHR) (12%), stroke (STR) (10%), and angina pectoris (ANG) (5%). These four diseases had significant correlations with temperature (meaningful correlation for MI and negative correlations for CHR, STR, and ANG). Selecting MI, as a representative weather-sensitive disease, and summarizing the quantitative correlations with meteorological factors revealed that, daily hospital admissions for MI increased approximately 1.7%-2.2% with each 1℃ decrease in physiologically equivalent temperature. On the days when MI occurred in three or more patients larger daily temperature ranges (2.3℃ increase) were reported compared with the days when MI occurred in fewer than three patients. In addition, variations in pressure (10 mbar, 1016 mbar standard) and relative humidity (10%) contributed to an 11%-12% increase in deaths from MI and an approximately 10% increase in the incidence of MI, respectively.

Sensitivity analysis of the WRF model according to the impact of nudging (e.g., nudging techniques and application domains) was conducted during high nocturnal ozone episode to improve the prediction of the regional ozone concentration in the southeastern coastal area of the Korean peninsula. The analysis was performed by six simulation experiments: (1) without nudging (e.g., CNTL case), (2) with observation nudging (ONE case) to all domains (domain 1∼4), (3) with grid nudging (GNE case) to all domains, (4)∼(6) with grid nudging to domain 1, domain 1∼2 and domain 1∼3, respectively (GNE-1, GNE-2, GNE-3 case). The results for nudging techniques showed that the GNE case was in very good agreement with those observed during all analysis periods (e.g., daytime, nighttime, and total), as compared to the ONE case. In particular, the large effect of grid nudging on the near-surface meteorological factors (temperature, relative humidity, and wind fields) was predicted at the coastline and nearby sea during daytime. The results for application domains showed that the effects of nudging were distinguished between the meteorological factors and between the time periods. When applied grid nudging until subdomain, the improvement effects of temperature and relative humidity had differential tendencies. Temperature was increased for all time, but relative humidity was increased in daytime and was decreased in nighttime. Thus, GNE case showed better result than other cases.

Recycling technology research in the copper smelting industry is necessary because the recovery of valuable metals from generated waste can offset the cost of raw materials. The cost of imported raw materials, can exert a significant impact on profitability. In order to perform this research review of previous studies about the base characteristics of the target waste was needed. In this study, copper slag and copper alloy smelting slag generated in the process, along with slag, ash, and sludge, were analyzed for particle size, distribution of the waste, physical characteristics, chemical composition, and inclusion of heavy metals. Copper slag and copper alloy particle separation results were able to remove most of the metal pieces that were at least 1 mm in size. In this waste, zinc, copper-containing metal were less than 80%. toxic substances, such as cadmium, arsenic and mercury, were removed by utilizing a hydrometallurgical process. The data suggests that this industry should be able to take advantage of new technologies the recover valuable metals from copper smelting waste.

This study focused on enhancing the mechanical properties and thermal stability of bio-composites with natural agricultural residues and improving the interfacial adhesion between polymer and biodegradable agricultural residual waste fibers. To achieve this purpose, we proposed superheated steam (SHS) treatment method as a novel pre-treatment of fiber for improved of compatibility in polymer matrix. The use of SHS-treatment was investigated as a method for improving interfacial adhesion between agricultural residual waste fibers and polymer and with the goal of enhancing mechanical properties. We selected wheat straw fibers for agricultural waste fibers to improve the surface modification. Wheat Straw Fibers (WSF) was treated with SHS in order to modify its characteristics for bio-composite applications. Treatment was conducted at temperatures 200oC and 230oC for each 1 h. SHS-treated WSF was evaluated for its chemical composition, thermal stability, morphology and crystallinity. Thermal stability of the fibers was investigated using thermogravimetric analysis and found that the degradation temperature of the fibers is increased after of the SHS treatment. In addition, SHS treatment contained in the WSF reduce the rate of hemicellulose components. The WSF is polar nature of lignocellulose due to the presence of hydroxyl and carboxyl groups in cellulose and hemicellulose causes it to be incompatible with non-polar thermoplastics. SHS-treatment was found to be able to remove hemicellulose, which is the most hydrophilic and most thermally unstable component in WSF, since it has the lowest thermal resistance. Removal of hemicellulose makes the fiber less hydrophilic and this will potentially increase the compatibility of treated WSF and polymers and improves the mechanical properties and water resistance of composites.

농업 생산성을 높이기 위해 화학비료 소비량이 지속적으로 증가되어 왔고, 인산을 생산할 때 인광석 분쇄하여 황산으로 처리하는 습식 인산비료제조시설에서 폐인산석고가 다량 발생되었다. 이때 발생된 인산석고는 일부 재활용되고 있지만 재활용량이 많지 않아서 공장 인근 적치장에 장기간 적치되어 인산석고 적치장의 유지관리비용도 많이 소요되고 있다. 특히 폭우와 같은 기상재해로 인산석고가 환경 중으로 유출될 경우 환경 오염이 우려되며, 폐기물관리법 상 인산석고의 해안지역 성토재, 도로기층재, 복토재 등으로 재활용할 수 있으나 실제 재활용은 거의 없는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 인산석고의 재활용용도 확대를 위해 해안매립지역 염분 토양 개량제로서 인산석고의 일반 토양 복토높이 축소와 안전한 재활용을 위해 환경성 평가연구를 수행하였다. 폐인산석고는 인산석고 적치장에서 충분히 혼합하여 건조한 다음 맨 아래층에 해안준설토를 포설하고 그 위에 일반토양 충진컬럼(대조시료)과 일반토양과의 층별 혼합하여 충진한 컬럼(대상시료)실험을 수행하였다. 토양의 수분함량을 고려하여 증류수를 살포하고 2주정도 정치하여 안정화 기간을 거쳤다. 조사대상지역의 연평균강수량을 토대로 월간, 주간 평균 강수량과 Lysimeter 단면적을 기초로 산정하였고, 증류수(계산된 강수량)를 주 1회 살포하였다. 조사항목은 pH, 전기전도도, 중금속류(칼슘, 마그네슘, 나트륨, 칼륨, 비소 등 유해물질), 이온물질(불소이온, 질산성질소이온, 염소이온, 황산염이온 등)을 폐기물공정시험기준, 토양오염공정시험기준을 참고하여 토양 깊이 별로 시료를 채취한 후 분석하였다. 연구 결과 대조시료에 비해 조사대상 시료 컬럼의 나트륨 농도는 인산석고층 상부로 올라갈수록 염분농도가 낮아졌으며 시간이 지남에 따라 나트륨 농도가 더 낮아질 것으로 판단된다. 비소, 납, 카드뮴, 구리 등 유해중금속 농도는 폐기물관리법 유해물질 기준이하로 나타났다. 최상층 일반토양복토 깊이는 토지이용 및 식재되는 식물 종에 따라 0.5 ~ 1.5m 이하, 또는 나무식재 주변에 한해서 적용하는 것이 적정하다고 판단된다.
