Currently, the commercialization of the 5th Generation (5G) service is becoming more prevalent in domestic communication network technology. This has reduced communication delay time and enabled large-capacity data transmission and video streaming services in real-time. In order to keep pace with these developments, K-water has introduced a smart process control system in water purification plants to monitor the status of the water purification process. However, since wireless networks are based on the public Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, communication delay time remains high, and high-resolution video services are limited. This is because communication networks still have a closed structure due to expense and security issues. Therefore, with 5G in its current form, it is very difficult to accommodate future services without improving the infrastructure of its communication networks. In recognition of these problems, this study implemented the authentication and management function of wireless networks on a wired network management system in the K-water Bansong water purification plant. The results confirmed that wired Local Area Network (LAN) services give a higher security performance than an expensive commercial wireless LAN system. This was achieved by using an Internet Protocol (IP) address management system of wired networks and the packet filtering function of the Layer2 (L2) switch. This study also confirmed that it is possible to create a wireless LAN service that is 3.7 times faster than the existing LTE communication network.

포토리소그래피는 웨이퍼 위에 선폭을 나노급으로 줄인 패턴을 제조하는 반도체 제조 공정의 핵심 기술이며 선폭을 줄이고 불량을 줄이기 위하여 photo-resist 용액 제조 및 정제 기술이 중요하다. 특히 photo-resist solution 내에 함유되어 있는 soft particle의 정제가 매우 중요하다. 현재 개발되어 있는 멤브레인 필터는 soft particle 정제 성능이 상당히 미흡한 수준이다. 나일론이나 폴리에틸렌 위에 아라미드 고분자를 함침하여 soft particle 정제 특성을 살펴보았다. 또한 팔라듐 나노입자를 합성하여 투과 특성에 사용하였다.

Biogas produced in anaerobic digestion process has been considered as a renewable energy source. To recover biogas from the anaerobic effluent and thereby maximize the energy recovery from anaerobic processes, membrane contactor employing hydrophobic porous hollow fiber membrane has been applied. By optimizing the surface hydrophobicity and the porosity of membranes, a desirable CH4 flux could be achieved. Biogas recovered can be upgraded by applying required purification processes for the injection into natural gas grid or for the use as vehicle fuel. My group has synthesized various microporous materials including zeolites, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and amine-appended sorbents that are selectively transport CO2 molecule and incorporated them into polymeric films to design high performance gas separation membranes.

Owing to the development in information and communications technologies have improved the technology for high-speed transmission of massive data, which has changed closed-circuit television (CCTV) video transmission technology. In particular, digitization of the CCTV video format and streaming technology has made it possible to minimize transmission loss and integrate video transmission and camera control(pan/tilt). It has also become possible to provide additional services like remote emergency warning broadcasting with just Internet Protocol (IP). However, because of the structural problems of IP, these changes have also brought about the threat of hacking of CCTV monitoring systems. In this study, we propose a methode to optimize network management by examining cases of enhancement of operational efficiency and security by improving the structure of CCTV monitoring network.

In this study, finite element (FE) analysis was performed to evaluate the seismic performance of the water treatment plant, which is a major state of the art water treatment plant, to predict tensile cracks and compressive failure. The FE model simulation for two facilities of the water purification plant was made considering the initial conditions, boundary conditions and water effect. For the nonlinear dynamic analysis, seismic analysis was performed using ground acceleration. Tensile cracks and compressive failure are analyzed and the effects on the structures are analyzed. As a result of the analysis, tensile cracks can be predicted to occur in the main structure.

Beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua, is known to be hard-to-kill pest by having high resistance to insecticides and its control is intensely dependent on fewer insecticides. In this study, the ethyl acetate extract of Streptomyces sp. was evaluated to find novel insecticidal agents against S. exigua. In order to determine the identity of insecticidal compounds, the crude ethyl acetate extract was fractionated based on the TLC profiling and bioassay-guided monitoring. These results indicated that the non-polar fraction have high level of insecticidal activity against second instars of S. exigua. These findings suggested that secondary metabolites produced by Streptomyces sp. could be considerable potential resources as novel insecticidal formulation candidates.

Alginate lyase from Streptomyces violaceoruber was purified by DEAE sephacel chromatography and SP sepharose chromatography. The specific activity of the purified enzyme was 14.6 units/mg protein, representing a 40.6-fold purification of the crude extract. The final preparation thus obtained showed a single band on Tricine-SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis whose molecular weight was determined to be 23.3 kDa. The polyMG block of sodium alginate was hydrolyzed by the purified alginate lyase and then separated by activated carbon column chromatography and bio gel P-2 gel filtration. The main hydrolysates were composed of hetero type M/G-oligosaccharides with the degrees of polymerization (D.P.) being 6 and 8. To investigate the effects of hetero type M/Goligosaccharides from the sodium alginate on the growth of some intestinal bacteria, cells were cultivated individually on the modified-MRS medium containing D.P. 6 and 8 M/G-oligosaccharides. B. longumgrew 4.25-fold and 6.44-fold more effectively by the treatment of D.P. 6 and 8 M/G-oligosaccharides compared with those of standard MRS medium. In addition, B. bifidumgrew 3.3-fold and 5.4-fold more effectively by the treatment of D.P. 6 and 8 M/G-oligosaccharides. In conclusion, D.P. 8 was more effective than D.P. 6 hetero M/G-oligosaccharides as regards the growth of Bifidobacteriumspp. and Lactobacillus spp

Phospholipase A2 (PLA2) hydrolyzes phospholipids at sn-2 position to release free fatty acids. PLA2 consists of a superfamily mainly categorized as secretory PLA2 (sPLA2), cellular Ca 2+ -dependent PLA2 (cPLA2), and cellular Ca 2+ -independent PLA2 (iPLA2). We are the first to report iPLA2 in insect. Here an objective of our study is to purify a recombinant iPLA2 protein (SeiPLA2) of Spodoptera exigua using bacterial expression system. An open reading frame of SeiPLA2 was cloned into an expression vector and then transformed into Escherichia coli BL21. Over-expression with IPTG yielded recombinant SeiPLA2 (rSeiPLA2), which was then purified by an affinity chromatography using Ni-NTA column. The purified rSeiPLA2 gave significant PLA2 activity using a pyrene substrate. Its activity was inhibited by an iPLA2 specific inhibitor (BEL), but not by sPLA2 inhibitor (BPB) or cPLA2 inhibitor (MAFP

In this study, refined finite element (FE) analyses intended to evaluate the capacity of the existing water purification plant structures against seismic force are conducted with an aim to predict possibility generating tension crack and compression crushing. The FE models for three types of main plant structures were constructed to take ground condition, boundary condition, and water interaction into consideration for advanced simulation. The nonlinear dynamic analyses were performed by using ground motion data which have been used for seismic design. Both compression crushing and tention crack, which are distributed over concrete plant structures during peak ground acceleration (PGA), are investigated by analyzing failure possibility controlled with the strain limits. After observing FE analysis results, it is possible to predict tenstion cracking which can be found at some parts of the main structure.
