기후변화는 생물계절반응 변화와 식물 자생지 이동을 초래한다. 우리나라 상록활엽수림도 과거 20년에 비해 분포역이 넓어지고 있으며, 자생지 범위가 북상하고 있다. 이에 따른 녹나무과 상록활엽수의 자생지 변화 예측을 위해 먼저, 식생의 분포와 관련이 깊은 온량지수와 한랭지수, 최한월 최저기온, 연평균기온 등 기후지표를 분석하였다. 그 변화량과 공간분포분석 을 통해 우리나라 난온대 지역에 분포하는 녹나무과 상록활엽수 8종의 자생지 기후지표특성을 파악하였다. 또한, 기후지표특성 을 바탕으로 MaxEnt 종 분포모형을 적용하여 기후변화 시나리오(RCP 4.5/8.5)에 따른 21세기 자생지 변화를 예측하였다. 녹나무과 상록활엽수 8종의 자생지 월 평균 기후지표 특성은 온량지수 116.9±10.8℃, 한랭지수 3.9±3.8℃, 연강수량 1495.7±455.4㎜, 건습지수 11.7±3.5, 연평균 기온 14.4±1.1℃, 동계 평균 최저기온 1.0±2.1℃로 나타났다. 기후변화 시나리 오 RCP 4.5에 근거한 녹나무과 상록활엽수의 분포는 전라남도와 경상남도를 포함하는 도서지방과 서·남해안의 인접지역, 동해안의 강원도 고성까지 분포가 확대되는 것으로 분석되었다. 기후변화 시나리오 RCP 8.5에 근거한 분포의 경우 전라남도 와 경상남도의 전 지역과 전라북도, 충청남도, 경상북도, 수도권의 일부 지역을 제외한 대부분 지역으로 분포가 확대될 것으로 분석되었다. 기후변화에 대비한 녹나무과 상록활엽수의 보전을 위해서는 자생지 내·외 보전 기준설정 및 다양한 자생지 특성 분석이 수행되어야 한다. 또한, 기후지표를 기반으로 한 생물계절정 자료를 통해 기후변화에 따른 녹나무과 상록활엽수의 분포, 이동, 쇠퇴 등의 미세변화를 선제적으로 감지하고 보전관리 방안을 수립하여야 할 것이다.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are of significant interest because of their high porosity, which facilitates their utilization in gas storage and catalysis. To enhance their current properties in these applications, it is necessary to elucidate the interactions between molecules in a confined environment that differ from those in bulk conditions. Herein, we study the confined molecular interaction by investigating the solvent-dependent photophysical properties of two different-sized molecules inside MOF-5. Ruthenium tris-bipyridine (Rubpy) and coumarin 153 (C153) are encapsulated in MOF-5. Rubpy with MOF-5 (Rubpy@MOF) is prepared by building MOF-5 around it, resulting in limited space for solvent molecules in the pores. The smaller C153 is encapsulated in the preformed MOF-5 (C153@MOF) by simply soaking the MOF in a concentrated C153 solution. C153@MOF permits more space for solvent molecules in the pore. Their characteristic absorption and emission spectra are examined to elucidate the confined molecular interactions. Rubpy@MOF and C153@MOF exhibit different spectral shifts compared to the guest molecules under bulk conditions. This discrepancy is attributed to the different micro-environments inside the pores, derived from confined host-guest interactions in the interplay of solvent molecules.

Numerous chemical modifications on activated carbon such as acidic conditioning, thermal treatment and metal impregnation have been investigated to enhance adsorption capacities of micropollutants in water treatment plants. In this study, chemical modification including acidic, alkaline treatment, and iron-impregnation was evaluated for adsorption of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP). For Fe-impregnation, three concentrations of ferric chloride solutions, i.e., 0.2 M, 0.4 M, and 0.8 M, were used and ion-exchange (MIX) of iron and subsequent thermal treatment (MTH) were also applied. Surface properties of the modified carbons were analyzed by active surface area, pore volume, three-dimensional images, and chemical characteristics. The acidic and alkaline treatment changed the pore structures but yielded little improvement of adsorption capacities. As Fe concentrations were increased during impregnation, the active adsorption areas were decreased and the compositional ratios of Fe were increased. Adsorption capacities of modified ACs were evaluated using Langmuir isotherm. The MIX modification was not efficient to enhance 2,4-DCP adsorption and the MES treatment showed increases in adsorption capacities of 2,4-DCP, compared to the original activated carbon. These results implied a possibility of chemical impregnation modification for improvement of adsorption of 2,4-DCP, if a proper modification procedure is sought.

국내 육성된 양송이 ‘새도’ 등 5개 품종으로 수확주기별 버섯의 형태적 변화를 확인하기 위하여 농가현장 시험을 통하여 생산성 및 품질을 평가하였다. 공시품종의 재배적 특성을 종합해보면 버섯발생 및 생육에 관련한 부분은 거의 비슷한 특성을 보였다. 전반적으로 균사 활력은 비슷하였으나 재배농가의 평가에서는 ‘새 도’ 품종이 강한 편이며, ‘새한’ 품종이 약한 것으로 평가하였다. 자실체의 개체중은 품종특성 보다는 농가별 퇴비의 상태 및 발생량이 관여하는 것으로 추정되며, 품종간의 차이를 구별할 수 없었다. 자실체의 갓 직경, 갓 두께, 대 길이 등의 특성에서 달성군, 용인시, 보령시 지역농가의 경우는 품종에 관계없이 첫주기에 대비하여 주기가 진행되면서 감소하였다. 하지만 대 굵기는 품종에 관계없이 첫 주기에 대비하여 2, 3주기에는 증가하는 경향이었다. 하지만 경주는 품종과 주기에 따른 어떤 경향을 확인할 수 없었으며, 부여에서는 갓 직경과 대 길이는 ‘새정’을 제외 한 품종들은 주기가 진전함에 따라 감소하였고, 갓 두께와 대 굵기는 품종간 일정하지 않았다. 이러한 수확주기 별 형태적 특성의 차이는 품종보다는 수확주기별로 배지에서의 양분의 공급량과 사용한 퇴비의 품질과 재배환경의 변화에 따른 차이에 의해 발생하는 것으로 예상된다.

Microstructural characteristics of directionally solidified René 80 superalloy are investigated with optical microscope and scanning electron microscope; solidification velocity is found to change from 25 to 200 μm/s under the condition of constant thermal gradient (G) and constant alloy composition (Co). Based on differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurement, γ phase (1,322 oC), MC carbide (1,278 oC), γ/γ' eutectic phase (1,202 oC), and γ' precipitate (1,136 oC) are formed sequentially during cooling process. The size of the MC carbide and γ/γ' eutectic phases gradually decrease with increasing solidification velocity, whereas the area fractions of MC carbide and γ/γ' eutectic phase are nearly constant as a function of solidification velocity. It is estimated that the area fractions of MC carbide and γ/γ' eutectic phase are determined not by the solidification velocity but by the alloy composition. Microstructural characteristics of René 80 superalloy after solid solution heat-treatment and primary aging heat-treatment are such that the size and the area fraction of γ' precipitate are nearly constant with solidification velocity and the area fraction of γ/γ' eutectic phase decreases from 1.7 % to 0.955 %, which is also constant regardless of the solidification velocity. However, the size of carbide solely decreases with increasing solidification velocity, which influences the tensile properties at room temperature.

Expensive PCBN or ceramic cutting tools are used for the processing of difficult-to-cut materials such as Ti and Ni alloy materials. These tools have a problem of breaking easily due to their high hardness but low fracture toughness. To solve this problem, cutting tools that form various coating layers are used in low-cost WC-Co hard material tools, and researches on various tool materials are being conducted. In this study, WC-5, 10, and 15 wt%Ni hard materials for difficult-to-cut cutting materials are densified using horizontal ball milled WC-Ni powders and pulsed current activated sintering method (PCAS method). Each PCASed WC–Ni hard materials are almost completely dense, with a relative density of up to 99.7 ~ 99.9 %, after the simultaneous application of pressure of 60 MPa and electric current for 2 min; process involves almost no change in the grain size. The average grain sizes of WC and Ni for WC-5, 10, and 15 wt%Ni hard materials are about 1.09 ~ 1.29 and 0.31 ~ 0.51 μm, respectively. Vickers hardness and fracture toughness of WC-5, 10, and 15 wt%Ni hard materials are about 1,923 ~ 1,788 kg/mm2 and 13.2 ~ 14.3 MPa.m1/2, respectively. Microstructure and phase analyses of PCASed WC-Ni hard materials are performed.

Due to the serious air pollution problem, interest in eco-friendly vehicles is increasing. Solving the problem of pollution will necessitate the securing of high energy storage technology for batteries, the driving force of eco-friendly vehicles. The reason for the continuing interest in the transition metal oxide LiMO2 as a cathode material with a layered structure is that lithium ions reveal high mobility in two-dimensional space. Therefore, it is important to investigate the effective intercalation and deintercalation pathways of Li+, which affect battery capacity, to understand the internal structure of the cathode particle and its effect on the electrochemical performance. In this study, for the cathode material, high nickel Ni0.8Co0.1Mn0.1(OH)2 precursor is synthesized by controlling the ammonia concentration. Thereafter, the shape of the primary particles of the precursor is investigated through SEM analysis; X-ray diffraction analysis is also performed. The electrochemical properties of LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 are evaluated after heat treatment.

This study was carried out to investigate the changes of the microbiological contamination levels, pH, acidity, solid contents, total phenol contents, and color difference of cold-brew coffee products during 4 weeks at room and cold temperatures. The 17 sample coffees were purchased from regional cafes in Jeonju. Each coffee was self-blended by the cafes. Esherichia coli was not detected in all the samples, but bacteria were detected in 1 sample and yeast and molds were detected in 4 samples. Of the samples stored at room temperature (25oC) after 4 weeks, general bacteria were detected in 4 samples (3.0×101 cfu/ml-1.7×103 cfu/ml), and yeast and molds were detected in 11 samples (1.3×101 cfu/ml - 3.1×105 cfu/ml). In the case of the samples stored at cold temperature (4oC), general bacteria were detected in 3 samples, and yeast and molds were detected in 6 samples although the level of contamination was lower than that at room temperature. pH and acidity decreased during the storage period, but the total phenol content did not change. In the case of chromaticity, redness and yellowness tended to decrease.

High-performance vehicles with V6 or higher are designed with a dual exhaust system to satisfy both performance and quietness at the same time, and have a confluence geometry for the purpose of stably maintaining the back pressure inside the pipe. The exhaust system generates noise and vibration under the influence of the rotating engine. In particular, in a state such as idling, vibration occurs in a certain frequency range, which may affect the natural vibration of the exhaust system. Therefore, in this study, the optimal shape is proposed by comparing the ignition frequency calculated based on the vibration measurement result in the idle state and the numerical analysis result.

Effects of Sc addition on microstructure, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and mechanical properties of the as-cast and as-extruded Al-2Zn-1Cu-0.3Mg-xSc (x = 0, 0.25, 0.5 wt%) alloys are investigated. The average grain size of the as-cast Al-2Zn-1Cu-0.3Mg alloy is 2,334 μm; however, this value drops to 914 and 529 μm with addition of Sc element at 0.25 wt% and 0.5 wt%, respectively. This grain refinement is due to primary Al3Sc phase forming during solidification. The as-extruded Al-2Zn-1Cu-0.3Mg alloy has a recrystallization structure consisting of almost equiaxed grains. However, the asextruded Sc-containing alloys consist of grains that are extremely elongated in the extrusion direction. In addition, it is found that the proportion of low-angle grain boundaries below 15 degree is dominant. This is because the addition of Sc results in the formation of coherent and nano-scale Al3Sc phases during hot extrusion, inhibiting the process of recrystallization and improving the strength by pinning of dislocations and the formation of subgrain boundaries. The maximum values of the yield and tensile strength are 126 MPa and 215 MPa for the as-extruded Al-2Zn-1Cu-0.3Mg-0.25Sc alloy, respectively. The increase in strength is probably due to the existence of nano-scale Al3Sc precipitates and dense Al2Cu phases. Thermal conductivity of the as-cast Al-2Zn-1Cu-0.3Mg-xSc alloy is reduced to 204, 187 and 183 W/MK by additions of elemental Sc of 0, 0.25 and 0.5 wt%, respectively. On the other hand, the thermal conductivity of the as-extruded Al-2Zn-1Cu-0.3Mg-xSc alloy is about 200 W/Mk regardless of the content of Sc. This is because of the formation of coherent Al3Sc phase, which decreases Sc content and causes extremely high electrical resistivity.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the quality properties of Meju prepared by inoculating two strains of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens HJ5-2, and Aspergillus oryzae PS03. The three soybean varieties that include Daewonkong, Daechan, and Saedanbaek were used in this experiment. The fermentation temperature during the Meju aging varied at 20℃, 30℃, and 40℃, respectively. The physicochemical analysis of the soybeans, showed that the cured protein and fat contents were 34.83~43.49% and 12.91~18.90%, respectively. The pH and total acidity were 6.47~6.93 and 0.11~1.22%, respectively. The change in appearance of the Meju was that the yellow-green mold was well formed on seven days at fermentation temperature of 20℃ and 30℃, but at 40℃, there was minimal mold formation and cracking of the surface. The amino nitrogen content was highest on the Daechan Meju at 621.83 mg% for seven days. The amylase increased as the fermentation period increased in all samples, and the protease increased rapidly until the first day of the fermentation, and then gradually increased thereafter. The total number of bacteria increased or decreased as the fermentation proceeded to 6.66~10.07 log CFU/g. The mold counts increased with increasing fermentation period in the range of 6.38~8.79 log CFU/g.

This study examined the optimal temperature and time conditions to maintain high quality Dongchimi during the fermentation and storage period. Dongchimi was fermented at low (5oC), medium (10 and 15oC), and high (20oC) temperatures until the acidity reached 0.2, 0.3, and 0.4%. respectively. From the consumer’s preference test enrolling five consumers, Dongchimi fermented at 15oC until an acidity of 0.3% (for approximately six days) was evaluated to be the optimal status because of its high score of overall acceptance, taste, and odor of consumers. To determine the optimal storage temperature of fermentation, Dongchimi was stored at three different temperatures (−1, 2, 5oC) for four weeks after fermenting at 15oC for six days. During the storage period, most of the physicochemical properties (pH, acidity, reducing sugar content, and organic acid) and microbiological properties changed significantly in the 2 and 5oC groups, resulting in a significant change in descriptive sensory analysis of Dongchimi. These results indicate that fermentation at 15oC and storage at −1oC for Dongchimi enables it to maintain the best quality for a long time.

Smart farm is a high-tech type of plant factory that artificially makes environmental conditions suitable for the growth of plants and manages them to automatically produce the desired plants regardless of seasons or space. This study was conducted by identifying the effects of Hertz and Duty ratio on the photosynthetic rate of ginseng, a medicinal crop, to find the optimal conditions for photosynthetic responses in smart farms. The light sources consisted of a total of 10 chambers using LED system, with 4 R+B (red+blue) mixed lights and 6 R+B+W (red+blue+white) mixed lights. In addition, the Hertz of the R+B mixed light was treated at 20, 60, 180, 540, 1620 and 4860 hz respectively. The R+B+W mixed light was treated with 60, 180, 540, and 1620 hz. Afterwards, experiments were conducted with the duty ratio of 30, 50, and 70%. As a result, the photosynthetic rate of ginseng according to duty ratio and Hertz was the highest at 60 hz when duty ratio was set to 50%. On the other hand, that was the lowest when the duty ratio was 30% at the same 60 hz. In addition, the photosynthetic rates were highest in the R+B mixed light and R+B+W mixed light at 60 hz. Therefore, the condition with the highest photosynthetic rate of ginseng in smart farms is 60 hz when the duty ratio in R+B mixed light is 50%.

본 연구에서는 국내 빗물정원과 같은 소규모 저류지공원 적합한 식물을 선발하기 위하여 수변 또는 척박지 녹화용으로 활용되고 있는 초화류 7종을 대상으로 일정 수위를 항시 유지하는 저면 침수와 식물 기부가 물에 잠긴 상태로 3일간 간 침수처리를 반복하는 완전 침수 두 가지 수분 상황에서 식물의 생장 특성을 조사하였다. 습지식물인 갈대는 침수처리에 의한 생장과 생리적 차이를 보이지 않았고, 억새와 리아트리스는 침수처리에 의해 광합성량은 저면관수 시 21.4%, 침수처리 시 60.4%로 낮아졌으나 수분이용효율은 차이를 나타내지 않아 침수 내성종임을 알 수 있었다. 벌개미취와 해국은 침수처리에 의해 생장이 저조했고 광합성량은 82.7% 이상 감소하고 수분이용효율도 29.2% 증가하여 수분스트레스 상태였으나 이후 정상적인 관수에 의해 광합성량과 수분이용 효율이 회복되어 빗물정원 식물로 적합한 식물임을 알 수 있었다. 무늬쑥부 쟁이는 저면침수에서는 광합성효율은 낮아졌으나 수분이용효율은 차이가 없어 습지에 적합하나, 완전침수에서는 수분스트레스가 79.8%로 매우 높았고 침수 후 회복율도 낮아 완전침수에는 적합하지 않은 것으로 나타났다.

In this paper, the displacement response to seismic loads was analyzed after installing TMD in spatial structures and high-rise buildings. In the case of a spatial structures, since it exhibits complex dynamic behavior under the influence of various vibration modes, it is not possible to effectively control the seismic response by installing only one TMD, unlike ordinary structures. Therefore, after installing eight TMDs in the structure, the correlation between displacement response and mass ratio was examined while changing the mass. The TMD must be designed to have the same frequency as the structure frequency so that the maximum response reduction effect can be exhibited. It can be confirmed that the most important variable is to select the optimal TMD mass in order to install the TMD on the structure and secure excellent control performance against the earthquake load. As a result of analyzing the TMD mass ratio, in the case of high-rise buildings, a mass ratio of 0.4% to 0.6% is preferable. In spatial structures, it is desirable to select a mass ratio of 0.1% to 0.2%. Because this study is based on the theoretical study based on numerical analysis, in order to design a TMD for a real structure, it is necessary to select within a range that does not affect the safety of the structure.
