도로상에서 운전자에게 길안내 역할을 하는 도로표지는 운전자가 자신이 원하는 목적지를 쉽고 정확하게 찾을 수 있도록 설계되고 설치되어야 하며, 이는 도로이용자의 도로이용 효율성 및 교통 안전성 향상을 위해 충분히 고려되어야 한다. 현재 우리나라에서 사용하고 있는 도로표지 경로안내방식은 점개념 안내방식이며, 도시부에서는 부분적으로 선개념 안내방식을 도입하고 있으나 안내지명 선정방법에 대한 기준이 미흡하고, 도로의 기능별 안내지명선정 및 지역적 특성을 감안한 안내지명 선정에 대한 구체적인 기준이 없어 안내지명간의 전체적인 연계성이 결여되는 문제점이 나타나고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 현 도로표지규정집에서 규정하고 있는 도로표지 안내지명 선정기준을 재검토하여 특정 구간(지역)에서의 안내지명 선정방법 및 연계성을 확보하는 과정에서 발생할 수 있는 문제점을 다각적으로 분석해 보고, 도로의 기능별 및 지역적 특성을 감안한 안내지면 선정방법을 도출하는 것을 목적으로 한다.

상변화형 광디스크의 보호막으로 사용되는 ZnS-SiO2 유전체막을 RF magnetron 스퍼트링방법에 의하여 제조하는 경우에 기판 바이어스전압의 영향을 조사하기 위하여, 알곤가스 분위기에서 ZnS(80mol%)-SiO2(20mol%)타겟을 사용하여 Si Wafer와 Corning flass 위에 박막을 증착시켰다. 본 실험에서는 여러 실험 변수를 효과적으로 조절하면서 실험의 양을 줄이고 도시의 산포를 동시에 만족시키는 최적조건으로 타겟 RF 출력 200W, 기판 RF 출력 20W, 아르곤 압력 5mTorr과 증착시간 20분을 얻을 수 있었으며, 신뢰구간 95%에서 확인실험을 수행하였다. 증착된 박막의 열적 저항성을 측정하기 위해 300˚C와 600˚C에서 열처리시험을 수행하였고, Spectroscopic Ellipsometry 측정을 통한 광학적 데이터를 바탕으로 Bruggeman EMA(Effective Medium Approximation)방법을 이용하여 기공(void)분률을 측정하였다. 본 연구결과에 의하면 특성치 굴절률에 대하여 기판 바이어스인자와 증착시간 사이에는 서로 교호작용이 강하게 존재함을 확인할 수 있었다. TEM분석과 XRD 분석 결과에 의하면 기판 바이어스를 가한 최적조건에서 증착된 미세조직은 기존의 바이어스를 가하지 않을 조건에서 증착시킨 박막보다 미세한 구조를 가지며, 또한 과도한 바이어스전압은 결정구조의 조대화를 야기시켰다. 그리고 적절한 바이어스전압은 박막의 밀도를 증가시키며, 기공분률을 약 3.7%정도 감소시킴을 확인할 수 있었다.

This study evaluated the biochemical methane potential (BMP) of primary sludge, secondary sludge, and food waste in batch anaerobic mono-digestion tests, and investigated the effects of mixture ratio of those organic wastes on methane yield and production rate in batch anaerobic co-digestion tests, that were designed based on a simplex mixture design method. The BMP of primary sludge, secondary sludge and food waste were determined as 234.2, 172.7, and 379.1 mL CH4/g COD, respectively. The relationships between the mixing ratio of those organic wastes with methane yield and methane production rate were successfully expressed in special cubic models. Both methane yield and methane production rate were estimated as higher when the mixture ratio of food waste was higher. At a mixing ratio of 0.5 and 0.5 for primary sludge and food waste, the methane yield of 297.9 mL CH4/g COD was expected; this was 19.4% higher than that obtained at a mixing ratio of 0.3333, 0.3333 and 0.3333 for primary sludge, secondary sludge, and food waste (249.5 mL CH4/g COD). These findings could be useful when designing field-scale anaerobic digersters for mono- and co-digestion of sewage sludges and food waste.

This study was conducted to determine physico-chemical properties and degree of heavy metal contamination of sediments collected at Yeosu harbor. Outside of harbor (Y1, Y2, and Y3) showed relatively lower ignition loss than those for Y4 and Y5. All sediment samples had similar oxides and minerals based on the XRD and XRF analyses. Heavy metal contamination of the sediments was evaluated using USEPA, Ontario sediment quality guidelines, index of geoaccumulation and total enrichment factor. In summary, sediment Y5 was classified as moderately contaminated region based on index of geoaccumulation and heavily polluted based on standards of USEPA, Ontario sediment quality guidelines, and total enrichment factor. Sample Y5 obtained from the inner side of harbor showed the highest heavy metal contents. Among five heavy metals measured at Y5, Cu concentration was extremely high, which indicated that harbor activity might influence the Cu concentration in harbor sediment.

In this study, five sediments samples were collected at near Hansan island. These samples were characterized whether they were contaminated or not. For this purpose, physico-chemical properties and metal contents were analyzed. From the elemental analyses, XRD, and XRF analyses, all samples showed similar elements, oxides, and minerals. In general, Cd, Cr, Ni, Pb, and Zn concentrations were below the contamination standards. Concentrations of Cu, however, exceeded the contamination standards of USEPA and Ontario sediment quality guidelines for some sampling sites. Ignition losses of the all samples were greater than 8%, which is a value indicating whether the sample is heavily polluted or moderately polluted. All the samples were classified as heavily polluted due to the high value of ignition loss. Therefore, sediments of the near Hansan island are required for periodic and strict management to prevent any harmful effects to the surrounding environments.

This paper presents the results of the electrochemical treatment of chemical oxygen demand(COD) and total nitrogen(T-N) compounds in the wastewater generated from flue gas desulfurization process by using a lab-scale electrolyzer. With the increase in the applied current from 0.6 Ah/L to 1.2 Ah/L, the COD removal efficiency rapidly increases from 74.5% to 96%, and the T-N removal efficiency slightly increases from 37.2% to 44.9%. Therefore, it is expected that an electrochemical treatment technique will be able to decrease the amount of chemicals used for reducing the COD and T-N in wastewater of the desulfurization process compared to the conventional chemical treatment technique.

This study was conducted to determine physico-chemical properties and degree of heavy metal contamination of sediments collected at Tongyong channel. From XRF and XRD analyses, all samples consisted of similar oxides and minerals. TOC ranged between 1.73 and 2.79%. Ignition loss ranged between 9.31 and 12.28%. Degree of heavy metal contamination of sediments was performed based on standards proposed by USEPA, Ontario sediment quality guidelines, index of geoaccumulation and total enrichment factor. In summary, sediment T9 was classified as moderately contaminated region based on standards of USEPA, index of geoaccumulation and total enrichment factor. In addition, T7 and T8 were classified as moderately contaminated region based on only USEPA standard. However, concentrations of Cu and Zn of T7 and T8 gradually increased to the level of T9 where it was close to Tongyong harbor. Therefore, the regions of T7, T8 and T9 need to be monitored and if possible required to remediate contaminated sediments.

Sediments samples were collected at Busan South harbor where dredging has been initiated since 2010 to clean up the bottom of harbor. In this study, we tried to determine physico-chemical properties and heavy metal contents of sediments for the purpose of deciding contamination levels of the sediments. From the total organic carbon, XRD, and XRF analyses, all samples showed similar elements, oxides, and minerals. In general, moderately high concentrations of Cu, Pb, and Zn were found in the samples. Heavy metal contents of sediments were compared with USEPA sediment quality standards and ontario sediment quality guidelines. Ignition losses of the samples were greater than 8%, which is a value indicating whether the sample is heavily polluted or moderately polluted. All the samples were classified as heavily polluted. Therefore, sediments obtained from dredging should be carefully treated to avoid other adverse environmental effects.

The purpose of this study was to determine optimum conditions for the cultivation of Tetraselmis suecica (T. suecica) under illumination of four different types of LEDs (i.e., blue, red, white, and mixed). Initial cell concentration was 4×104 cells/mL and temperature of reactor was maintained between 21-240C. Specific growth rates were 0.72 day-1(white), 0.58 day-1(red), 0.49 day-1(mixed), and 0.49 day-1(blue). Thus, white LEDs was used for the cultivation of T. suecica. Tests with white LEDs under different light intensity, which was conducted to determine optimum light intensity of white LEDs, showed that 9,000 lux of illumination resulted in fastest cell growth and greatest cell concentrations. To avoid shadow effects by dense cell populations, aeration was performed. Cell concentration increased 3.8 times when aeration was used.
