유기 전구체와 금속 이온, 또는 금속-옥소 클로스터 간의 규칙적 배열을 통한 종의 다양성을 장점으로 하는 금속- 유기 골격체(Metal-Organic Frameworks, MOFs)는 에너지 사용량이 높은 상변화 기반 분리공정을 대체할 수 있는 에너지 효율 적인 막 기반 분리 기술의 개발 가능성을 열어주었다. 이에 최근 10년 동안 다결정 MOFs 분리막 합성 기술에서 상당한 진전 이 있었지만, 매우 제한된 종류의 MOFs만이 활용되고 있다. 이러한 기술 개발의 정체는 다결정 분리막의 비 선택적인 확산 경로인 결정 사이 결함(intercrystalline defects)에 대한 명확한 해결법이 없기 때문이다. 후처리 성능 제어기술(postsynthetic modifications, PSMs)은 기존 분리막을 플랫폼으로 활용하고 이를 물리적 그리고/혹은 화학적으로 처리함을 통해 분리 특성 을 개선 혹은 변경하는 기술을 말한다. PSMs 기술은 특정 분리막을 개발하는 데 있어서 새로운 MOFs를 설계하거나 막 합성 기술을 개발하지 않아도 된다는 장점이 있어서 다결정 MOF 분리막의 다양성을 제공하기 위한 새로 부상하는 전략으로 평가 된다. 본 총설에서는 PSMs 기술을 7개의 세부기술((1) 공유결합법, (2) 결정간 결함 플러깅법, (3) 결정 내부 결함 치유법, (4) 기공내 기능성 소재 함침법, (5) 기공 경화법, (6) 전구체 치환법 및 (7) 비정질화법)로 분류하고, 각 세부기술의 연구 동향 및 도전과제 그리고 향후 연구 방향에 대해 논의하고자 한다.

본 연구는 식품 생산 환경에서 A. ochraceus를 저감하기 위하여 물리적 제어기술인 광살균(LED, UV), 열수 처리를 통하여 그 효과를 확인하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 A. ochraceus 포자 현탁액(107-8 spore/mL)를 스테인리스 칩에 1 mL 접종하고 37oC에 건조한 후 각각의 물리적 처리에 적용하였다. LED를 활용하여 30분, 1, 2, 5, 8, 11시간 처리하였으나 균수에서 유의적인 차이를 확인하지 못하였으나 UV-C와 열수침지에서는 모두 A. ochraceus가 유의적으로 감소하였다. UV-C를 단독으로 스테인리스 칩에 360 kJ/m2까지 조사한 결과 A. ochraceus가 1.27 log CFU/ cm2 까지 유의적으로 감소한 것을 확인하였다. 열수 처리에서는 가장 고온인 83oC에서 5분간 침지할 경우 A. ochraceus 초기 접종농도인 6.49 log CFU/cm2를 모두 사멸 시켰다. 그러나 고온의 열에너지를 5분간 현장에서 유지하는 것이 쉽지 않으므로 경제성과 사용 적합성 등을 고려하여 비교적 저온인 60oC와 자외선을 복합처리 하여 적절한 저감 조건을 확인하고자 하였다. 복합처리 결과 미온수에서도 침지시간 증가와 UV-C 조사량 증가에 따라 유의적으로 감소하여 불검출되었다. 이러한 결과들을 바탕으로 미온수인 60oC 물에 작업도구 등을 침지하여 3분 간 침지한 후 10분 이상 UV 살균처리 장치에 비치하여 둔다면 작업 중 A. ochraceus가 식품으로 교차오염되는 가능성을 줄일 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

PURPOSES : This study prioritizes the potential technology for establishing an efficient traffic control in the ramp junction of urban deep underground tunnels in the future. We considered most of the applicable technologies that ensure traffic safety at the on-off ramp junction. METHODS : This study proposes a methodology to prioritize the applicable technology for establishing efficient traffic control in the ramp junction of an urban deep underground tunnel using an analytical hierarchy process (AHP). First, an AHP structure was developed. Second, an individual survey was conducted to collect the opinions of road and transportation experts. Based on the survey results, weights were estimated depending on the relevant criteria of the developed structure. The estimated weights were verified using the consistency index (CI) and consistency ratio (CR). In addition, a sensitivity analysis was performed to confirm the reliability of the estimated weights. Finally, the potential technology for an efficient traffic control in the ramp junction of an urban deep underground tunnel was prioritized. RESULTS : In the first level of hierarchy, traffic demand control had the highest priority, and ramp metering, section speed control, and shoulder lane control were selected in the second level of hierarchy. CONCLUSIONS : These results implied that prioritizing would be useful in establishing traffic operation strategies for traffic safety when constructing and opening deep underground tunnels in urban areas in the future.

급변하는 환경에서 지속 가능한 경쟁우위를 확보하기 위해 기업들은 끊임없이 새로운 지식을 획득해야 한다. 인수합병이나, 지식재산권의 구매 등이 이를 위한 대표적인 수단이나, 합작회사의 설립도 보완자산을 내재화하기 위한 효과적인 지식 획득 방법으로 주 목받고 있다. 그러나 모든 합작회사가 새로운 지식을 성공적으로 획득하는 것은 아닌데, 이는 기업들이 획득하고자 하는 지식의 특성에 맞는 적절한 학습전략 및 조직 구조를 갖추지 못했기 때문인 경우가 많다. 본 연구는 이 같은 문제의식 하에 상황이론 관점에서 지식의 특성을 다차원 적으로 구분하고 지식 특성에 맞는 학습전략과 조직구조의 필요성을 자동차 부품분야의 국제 합작회사 사례를 통해 살펴보았다. 하드웨어 기술에 최적화된 사례 회사(국제 합작회사)는 다른 성격의 지식인 소프트웨어 기술을 습득하기 위해 차별화된 학습 전략과 조직구조를 갖추지 못했고, 이러한 미스매치로 인해 합작회사를 통한 새로운 지식(엔진제어시 스템 기술)의 흡수에 실패하였다. 본 연구는 기업이 성공적 지식흡수를 위해 고려해야 할 요소들을 이론적 프레임워크를 통해 제시하고 실증분석을 통해 이를 검증함으로써 합작회사 설립, 인수합병 등 조직 변화를 통해 동태적 역량을 확보하고자 하는 기업들에게 실무적 시사점을 제공하고 있다.

This paper presents a literature review on the active technologies to regulate the levels of carbon dioxide and oxygen in Kimchi packaging. In this study, laser-etched pouches and O2 scavengers were used for Kimchi packaging, and the efficiency of each packaging technique to regulate the CO2 and O2 levels inside Kimchi packages was investigated. When Kimchi was packaged with a laser-etched pouch, the CO2 concentration in the sample with a high gas transmission rate was less than that in other pouches (p<0.05), and a low CO2 level had little effect on the expansion of the package volume. Kimchi treated with an O2 absorber exhibited a significantly lower (p<0.05) O2 concentration inside the packages relative to the control. A low O2 concentration inside the Kimchi package effectively inhibited the growth of total aerobic bacteria and lactic acid bacteria, as well as yeasts and molds on Kimchi. These results suggest that O2 absorbers have a positive effect on the microbial quality of Kimchi. Therefore, packaging in a laser-etched pouch and the use of an O2 scavenger could provide a novel packaging material for regulating the CO2 and O2 levels during Kimchi packaging.

Layered-double hydroxide (LDH)-based nanostructures offer the two-fold advantage of being active catalysts with incredibly large specific surface areas. As such, they have been studied extensively over the last decade and applied in roles as diverse as light source, catalyst, energy storage mechanism, absorber, and anion exchanger. They exhibit a unique lamellar structure consisting of a wide variety of combinations of metal cations and various anions, which determine their physical and chemical performances, and make them a popular research topic. Many reviewed papers deal with these unique properties, synthetic methods, and applications. Most of them, however, are focused on the form-factor of nanopowder, as well as on the control of morphologies via one-step synthetic methods. LDH nanostructures need to be easy to control and fabricate on rigid substrates such as metals, semiconductors, oxides, and insulators, to facilitate more viable applications of these nanostructures to various solid-state devices. In this review, we explore ways to grow and control the various LDH nanostructures on rigid substrates.

A connected control method for the adjacent buildings has been studied to reduce dynamic responses. In these studies, seismic loads were generally used as an excitation. Recently, multi-hazards loads including earthquake and strong wind loads are employed to investigate control performance of various control systems. Accordingly, strong wind load as well as earthquake load was adopted to evaluate control performance of adaptive smart coupling control system against multi-hazard. To this end, an artificial seismic load in the region of strong seismicity and an artificial wind load in the region of strong winds were generated for control performance evaluation of the coupling control system. Artificial seismic and wind excitations were made by SIMQKE and Kaimal spectrum based on ASCE 7-10. As example buildings, two 20-story and 12-story adjacent buildings were used. An MR (magnetorheological) damper was used as an adaptive smart control device to connect adjacent two buildings. In oder to present nonlinear dynamic behavior of MR damper, Bouc-Wen model was employed in this study. After parametric studies on MR damper capacity, optimal command voltages for MR damper on each seismic and wind loads were investigated. Based on numerical analyses, it was shown that the adaptive smart coupling control system proposed in this study can provide very good control performance for Multi-hazards.

We report the feasibility of TaC production via self-propagating high temperature synthesis, and the influence of the initial green compact density on the final composite particle size. Experiments are carried out from a minimum pressure of 0.3 MPa, the pressure at which the initial green body becomes self-standing, up to 3 MPa, the point at which no further combustion occurs. The green density of the pellets varies from 29.99% to 42.97%, as compared with the theoretical density. The increase in green density decreases the powder size of TaC, and the smallest particle size is observed with 1.5 MPa, at 10.36 μm. Phase analysis results confirm the presence of the TaC phase only. In the range of 0.3-0.5 MPa, traces of unreacted Ta and C residues are detected. However, results also show the presence of only C residue in the matrix within the pressure range of 0.6-3.0 MPa.

Corrosion inhibitors including calcium hydroxide have been used to prevent corrosion in the pipes for tap water supply. The corrosion index (i.e., Langelier Index) differs by area and water quality. The corrosion indices of the areas studied differed by more than 2.0. The ‘homogenized’ calcium hydroxide was added to the treated water at the K water treatment plant, in order to increase the value of the corrosion index and the concentration of calcium. As the result, the concentration of calcium was increased while the turbidity and pH changed little. The corrosion rate of the tap water with the 'homogenized' calcium hydroxide could be slowed down pretty much. The results suggested that the technology of 'homogenization' of calcium hydroxide can applied to tap water and desalinated water to prevent corrosion in water pipes even in corrosive pipes.

Automatic control systems in industrial manufacturing processes are becoming fundamental systems for maintaining effective productivity and high quality products. In addition to them, assisted utilities like electricity, steam, air or gas supplies and appropriate plc(programmable logic control) systems also must be adequately designed and installed for those manufacturing processes. Above mentioned automatic control systems and utility systems are made up with many kinds of electronic and electric parts like computers, plc’s, valves, switches, relays, sensors, guages, meters, etc., and should be mounted in control panels, so called control boxes or cabinets for easily operated and safely maintained. But these control boxes are usually exposed to unexpected environments like excessive high and low temperature, high humidity, dust, gas, vibration, impact, condensation, rain and snow, etc.. Nevertheless in those poor environments, the control systems should work always accurately, so the control boxes and all the parts inside the boxes should be made from the beginning to have durability against those environments suggested by some protection ratings standards. In Kimchi manufacturing fields also, there are also many kinds of control boxes for the variety of process lines, especially there are many damp and salty processes, and if the moisture contains salt ingredients and it affects 20% more than that of water-only moisture influences. In this presentation, the environments of general manufacturing fields are suggested and the strong environmental resistance control box design process are proposed. And some international standards examples are presented for the control boxes of the Kimchi manufacturing fields.
