In this study, we listed the VOCs focusing on ozone precursors emitted from printing shops in urban areas. The emission characteristics of the VOCs from workplaces were evaluated in terms of the used inks. As a result of field measurements, more than 80% of detected VOCs showed high values of photochemical ozone creation potential (POCP). The main species were aromatic hydrocarbons such as ethylbenzene, toluene, ethyltoluene, xylene, trimethylbenzene and their isomers, and paraffin hydrocarbons such as nonane, decane, and octane. Comparative examination between pristine ink and the printing process revealed the emission of hydrocarbons with 8 to 12 carbons such as o-xylene to n-dodecane from the used inks and with 3 to 7 carbons such as acetone to 3-methylhexane from the printing process. The major contributors to ozone production in printing industries were toluene (12.2%), heptane (7.43%), and 1,2,3-trimethylbenzene (7.21%) in every step.

The push-out tests have been conducted on the specimens which consist of the steel beam with U-shape section and the continuous cap-type shear connector. Existing formulas for the elevation of shear connector capacity were investigated on the basis of test results. The shear capacities of continuous cap-type shear connectors distinctly declined as the diameters of side-hole in the shear connector increased. The rebars through side-hole for the transverse reinforcement improved the shear capacity of continuous cap-type connector by 20 to 30 percent. It was not feasible to obtain the appropriate capacity values of continuous cap-type shear connectors made of thin steel plate like those of in this study, using the existing formulas. The new formula for reflecting the shear strength of penetrative bars was proposed based on the shear equation of Eurocode 4. The slip capacities of continuous cap-type shear connectors were shown to exceed the limit value of 6mm for the sufficiently ductile behavior.

사과 표면의 온도 측정 결과, ‘후지’ 품종에서 무처리구가 44oC로 가장 높게 나왔으며, 미세살수 처리구가 35oC로 가장 낮아 사과의 표면온도를 직접적으로 낮추는데 가장 효과적이었고, ‘홍로’ 품종에서는 방풍망 처리구가 무처리구에 비해 약 9oC의 온도하강 효과를 나타내었다. 조도 및 광량은 방풍망 처리구가 53.263lx로 무처리구의 90.283lx에 비하여 유의하게 낮은 결과를 보였다. 그리고 오후 시간의 햇볕은 파장이 긴 적색광으로 과실의 품온이 증가하고 광합성량이 증가되는 반면 과실의 호흡량이 증가하여 색소 발현 및 저장양분의 축적에 저해요인으로 작용하는 것으로 판단되었다. 또한, 방풍망을 이용한 차광으로 빛의 강도와 온도를 인위적으로 낮추어 광포화점이 발생하지 않는 정도에서 충분한 채광시간과 효율적인 광합성작용을 유도 하는 것이 과실품질을 향상시킬 수 있는 방법으로 판단되었다. ‘후지’와 ‘홍로’의 최대양자수율 Fv/Fm 값이 다른 처리들보다 무처리구에서 0.74로 가장 낮은 것으로 조사되었는데 이는 미세살수, 방풍망 처리구가 무 처리구에 비해 높은 광합성 효율을 나타내고 있음을 시사하였다. ‘후지’의 일소피해 조사결과 미세살수 처리구는 5%, 방풍망 처리구는 7%로 무처리구에 비하여 일소발생이 약 15% 경감되었고 ‘홍로’의 경우는 미세살수 처리구는 22%, 방풍망 처리구는 25%로 무처리구에 비하여 일소발생이 약 7% 감소하였다. ‘홍로’의 일소피해 발생이 ‘후지’ 에 비해서 높았던 이유는 ‘홍로’가 ‘후지’보다 비대 속도가 빠르며 광을 받는 과실 표면의 면적이 상대적으로 컸기 때문으로 판단되었다. 착색지수 중 적색도(a*)의 경우 ‘후지’ 품종에서 무처 리구에 비하여 미세살수와 방풍망 처리구가 각각 26% 및 34%로 착색향상을 개선할 수 있었다. 이상의 결과를 종합하면, 사과 주요 품종에 대한 미세살수 및 방풍망 처리는 추후 기후변화로 인인 사과생육기 고온증상으로 발생할 수 있는 과실일소 및 착색불량 등 과실품질저해 요인을 저감할 수 있는 현장적용이 가능한 기술로 판단 되었고, 또한 이로 인한 상품성 증가로 농가 소득증대에 기여할 것으로 판단되었다.

본 연구는 저영양 비육돈 사양이 고영양 사양에 비해 도체 및 돈육의 질을 개선시킬 수 있을지를 조사하기 위해 수행되었다. 체중 약 50kg의 LYD 교잡종 암퇘지와 거세돼지 각각 68두씩을 8돈방에 배치하고 3.54Mcal DE/kg과 1.00% 라이신을 함유한 고영양사료 혹은 3.02Mcal DE/kg과 0.68% lysine을 함유한 저영양사료를 약 120kg까지 급여하고 도살하였다. 총 20개의 도체로부터 삼겹살, 등심, 뒷다리 및 목심을 잘라내고 삼겹살과 등심, 뒷다리 및 목심의 대표적인 근육의 질에 관한 이화학적 분석과 관능검사를 수행하였다. 일당증체량, 사료효율 및 등지방두께는 고에너지구보다 저에너지구가 낮았다(p<0.05). 목심의 가열감량, 경도 및 씹힘성 수치는 저영양구가 고영양구보다 낮았다. 신선육(근육)에 대한 관능평가에서 등심의 색깔, 상강도 및 기호도 평점은 저영양구가 고영양구보다 높았고, 삼겹살의 근육:지방 균형 평점은 저영양구가 고영양구 보다 높은 경향을 나타냈다(p<0.10). 또한 뒷다리 가열육에 대한 관능평가에서는 풍미 및 다즙성 평점이 저영양구가 고영양구보다 높았다. 결론적으로, 이상의 결과는 저영양으로 비육돈을 사양하면 고영양 사양에 비해 성장성적은 저하되지만 도체 및 돈육의 질을 향상시킬 수도 있음을 시사한다.

In the present work, we synthesize nano-sized ZnO, SnO2, and TiO2 powders by hydrothermal reaction using metal chlorides. We also examine the energy-storage characteristics of the resulting materials to evaluate the potential application of these powders to dye-sensitized solar cells. The control of processing parameters such as pressure, temperature, and the concentration of aqueous solution results in the formation of a variety of powder morphologies with different sizes. Nano-rod, nano-flower, and spherical powders are easily formed with the present method. Heat treatment after the hydrothermal reaction usually increases the size of the powder. At temperatures above 1000oC, a complete collapse of the shape occurs. With regard to the capacity of DSSC materials, the hydrothermally synthesized TiO2 results in the highest current density of 9.1 mA/cm² among the examined oxides. This is attributed to the fine particle size and morphology with large specific surface area.

It is known that the cooling performance can be improved about 5~12% and the COP (Coefficient of Performance) can be improved about 10~15% when the IHX (Internal Heat Exchanger) was applied in a vehicle. Thus, the aim of this study was to observe the influence of the fins shape on the turbulence flow and turbulence kinetic energy gradient in IHX. All the applied parameters of the fin such as rotation angle, spacing ratio, height ratio and mass flow rate are changed. The governing equations for the flow motion simulation were applied to continuity equation and Navier-Stokes equation, and the turbulence model was applied by the Shear Stress Transport(SST) model, which has the advantage of turbulence simulation. As the rotation angles of the front and back fins were increased, the difference in the maximum turbulent kinetic energy gradient between fins was reduced. As the inlet flow mass increased, the turbulent kinetic energy difference between front and back fins were increased. The turbulence area tended to increase with increasing fin height ratio.

Background: It is very difficult for hemiplegic patients to effectively perform the sit-to-stand (STS) movements independently because of several factors. Moreover, the analysis of STS motion in hemiplegic patients has been thus far confined to only muscle strength evaluation with little information available on structural and environmental factors of varying chair height and foot conditions. Objects: This study aimed to analyze the change in biomechanical factors (ground reaction force, center of mass displacement, and the angle and moment of joints) of the joints in the lower extremities with varying chair height and foot conditions in hemiplegic patients while they performed the STS movements. Methods: Nine hemiplegic patients voluntarily participated in this study. Their STS movements was analyzed in a total of nine sessions (one set of three consecutive sessions) with varying chair height and foot conditions. The biomechanical factors of the joints in the lower extremities were measured during the movements. Ground reaction force was measured using a force plate; and the other abovementioned parameters were measured using an infra-red camera. Two-way repeated analysis of variance was performed to determine the changes in biomechanical factors in the lower extremities with varying chair height and foot conditions. Results: No interaction was found between chair height and foot conditions (p>.05). All measured variables with varying chair height showed a significant difference (p<.05). Maximum joint flexion angle, maximum joint moment, and the displacement of the center of mass in foot conditions showed a significant difference (p<.05); however the maximum ground reaction force did not show a significant difference (p>.05). Conclusion: The findings suggest that hemiplegic patients can more stably and efficiently perform the STS movement with increased chair height and while they are bare-foot.
