In the late Joseon Dynasty, the floor of the royal palace was covered with grass mat called ji-ui. Ji-ui was produced by connecting several mats named seokja(席子) and trimming the edge with narrow fabric named seon (縇). The standard manufacturing technique was to connect the shorter sides of the seokjas by overstitching them. A room was covered with either single or multiple ji-uis, depending on the case. In the case of the main and the subsidiary halls (jeong-jeon and pyeon-jeon, respectively) where the king conducted official meetings with the civil servants, multiple ji-uis were laid out to signify the division of space, which reflected the ceremonial aspects of the governing acts. The most essential division was the distinction of yeong-wae(楹外) and yeong-nae(楹內), with the jeon-goju (a tall frontal pillar inside the hall) functioning as the breakpoint. Jeong-jeon was divided into four spaces each covered with one ji-ui: yeong-nae, yeong-wae, and the left and the right sides of the royal seat named jwa-tap(座榻). Pyeon-jeon was covered with three ji-uis that divided the hall into three spaces: yeong-nae, yeong-wae, and hu-twae(後退) (the hind section) where the royal seat was placed on.

Recently, reverse osmosis (RO) is the most common process for seawater desalination. A common problem in both RO and thermal processes is the high energy requirements for seawater desalination. The one energy saving method when utilizing the osmotic power is utilizing pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) process. The PRO process can be used to operate hydro turbines for electrical power production or can be used directly to supplement the energy required for RO desalination system. This study was carried out to evaluate the performance of both single-stage PRO process and two-stage PRO process using RO concentrate for a draw solution and RO permeate for a feed solution. The major results, were found that increase of the draw and feed solution flowrate lead to increase of the production of power density and water permeate. Also, comparison between CDCF and CDDF configuration showed that the CDDF was better than CDCF for stable operation of PRO process. In addition, power density of two-stage PRO was lower than the one of single-stage. However, net power of two-stage PRO was higher than the one of single-stage PRO.

This study is objected to investigate the repairing method and the modification period of rafters via the transformation traces left in the superciliums, where repair process takes places frequently. This is the basic research of analyzing the architectural features of Deokkeori, one of the additional-rafter methods. Deokkeori method can be described as using Deokdori in the top section of Hayeon, and placement of Sangyeon above it. This method was started to be used since middle of the Joseon dynasty period(middle 18th Century) and mainly used at 19th Century to resist the transformation caused by repairing. It had been gradually developed from non-application stage to application stage including additional usage of complement.

본 연구는 음향증폭시스템 중에서 청취자에게 가장 많은 영향을 미치는 스피커 시스템의 배치방식과 스피커 특성변화에 따른 청취자들의 주관적 반응을 명료도와 음향선호도 측면에서 측정하고 비교 분석함으로써 향후 대공간의 음향증폭시스템의 설계 시 활용할 수 있는 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 연구 결과, 전체적으로 실의 흡음률이 결정적인 영향을 미치며, 천장의 흡음률이 높을수록 지각된 명료도는 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 스피커가 낮게 설치된 경우에는 적용된 스피커의 개수가 많고 지향각이 좁은 스피커들이 사용된 경우의 명료도가 가장 높게 평가되었다. 그러나 전체적으로는 스피커가 천장 흡음면에 가까울수록, 그리고 60도 이하의 좁은 지향각을 갖는 스피커를 사용할 때 높은 명료도를 얻을 수 있으며, 본 연구의 검토범위에서는 8~10개 정도의 스피커가 적용되었을 때 주관적인 명료도 및 선호도가 가장 높게 평가되었다.
