The degree and intensity of unpleasant and disgusting odors perceived through a person's sense of smell can vary depending on personal or social and cultural characteristics. In addition, it is not effective to manage odors solely on the basis of concentration levels because odors can be combined according to temperature, humidity, and frequency, so that they can be recognized differently even if the same person smells the same substance. The mobile odor application was developed to enable real time monitoring of odor characteristics reflecting the actual condition of the field. Accordingly, the Green Future Foundation, a civic group, conducted an environmental campaign to record and share the information of odors in school zone using the first version of the application. The real time monitoring of field odor was able to improve the problems of the current standard methods for the examination and assessment of odors. However, with regard to the first version of the application, the process and results of odor recording through odor measurement applied the direct olfactory method and were less relevant. Therefore, it was difficult to organize data due to duplicate selection. For that reason, this study was conducted to overcome the problems of the first version of the mobile application and to effectively and accurately reflect odors and personal characteristics. This odor application that has been developed is able to monitor and assess odors based on 5 features: classification, character, strength level, hedonic tone, and acceptability.

In this research, the applicability of modified fouling index (MFI) on ultrapure water (UPW) production system was assessed to predict performance of reverse osmosis (RO) process. The practical study on MFI-UF was first performed at a pilot-scale UPW plant (Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-do, Korea), monitoring water quality parameters (i.e., conductivity, turbidity and TOC) as well as MFI-UF of pretreatment stage for 10 months. While water quality parameters were maintained in a stable manner, the MFI-UF was fluctuated implying the different propensity of RO influent. The increment of fouling potential was intimately related with RO performance, the aggravation of permeate quality. The sensitivity of MFI-UF was also verified by evaluating the fouling potential of reclaimed water in UPW production system.

Time-temperature indicators or integrators (TTIs) indicate food quality changes based on time-temperature history. Whilst many types of TTIs have been developed and commercialized, educated consumers often refuse to purchase food products with attached TTI labels showing even a slight color change. In this study, a novel on-off diffusion-based TTI coupled with polydiacetylene/silica nanocomposites has been proposed. The prototype TTI tag has a multilayer structure comprised of a self-adhesive base layer, a middle microporous sheet, and an upper opaque white layer coupled with a square reservoir of Tween 20 attached to an activation stripe. At the end of the diffusion path, polydiacetylene/silica nanocomposites were injected into a loading site as a fine blue stripe. After activation, Tween 20 diffused and reached the loading site, where it rapidly changed from blue-to-red via solvatochromism. This alternative and innovative TTI continuously showed a blue color until reaching the end point, at which stage a red color rapidly appeared, indicating product rejection. Thus, this novel TTI it is of great benefit to the brand owner. The developed prototype was characterized and evaluated for its ability to monitor microbial quality based on published, isothermal, microbial growth data of modified-atmosphere packaged minced beef, Mediterranean fish, and ground pork. The diffusion of Tween 20 in the TTI system was measured under various isothermal conditions and a kinetic model, based on the association between diffusion and time-temperature, was investigated. The Gaussian-estimated activation energy value was 51.082kJ mol-1. Tween 20 diffusion of 6.10, 5.15 and 6.15mm along the TTI systems were considered to be end points and the 95% confidence interval between the times taken for TTI to display OFF and for the foods to reach their deterioration thresholds were 23.30-23.70, 23.00-23.50 and 23.44-24.05h for total aerobic bacteria, Shewanella putrefaciens, and Pseudomonas spp. respectively. The TTI performance test for reproducibility and accuracy revealed a normal frequency distribution with 35004.90, 1200.254.82 and 549.811.09min at 0, 11 and 25C, respectively in accordance with the investigation of diffusion in the TTI.

We probe the feasibility of high-frequency radio observations of very rapid flux variations in compact active galactic nuclei (AGN). Our study assumes observations at 230GHz with a small 6-meter class observatory, using the SNU Radio Astronomical Observatory (SRAO) as an example. We find that 33 radio-bright sources are observable with signal-to-noise ratios larger than ten. We derive statistical detection limits via exhaustive Monte Carlo simulations assuming (a) periodic, and (b) episodic flaring flux variations on time-scales as small as tens of minutes. We conclude that a wide range of flux variations is observable. This makes high-frequency radio observations – even with small observatories – a powerful probe of AGN intra-day variability; especially, those which complement observations at lower radio frequencies with larger observatories like the Korean VLBI Network (KVN).

This study was conducted in order to evaluate three different non- invasive blood pressure measurement methods (NIBP) in comparison with direct blood pressure measurements in anesthetized dogs. Ten normal healthy Beagle dogs (mean age; 3.7 ± 1.01 yrs, mean body weight 10.2 ± 1.15 kg) were enrolled in this study. BP was measured using three different methods, i.e., Doppler (DOP), oscillometric, and high density oscillometric (HDO) methods, simultaneously, five times in each subject under anesthesia at three different locations (right, left front legs, and tail). The blood pressure value measured by the Doppler method was the closest to the value measured by the direct method. Although the accuracy and consistency of BP measured by three different non-invasive methods differed according to the method, all methods, except the conventional oscillometric method, were acceptable for monitoring systolic blood pressure in anesthetic dogs. The inter-measurement variations in DOP and HDO were minimal without affecting the consistency of the test results.

In this study, amenity evaluation technique for indoor air quality in the underground space was developed and evaluated real-time amenity by utilizing real-time sensor monitoring system equipped with the technique. The factors used for amenity evaluation were PMV value, VOCs, illumination, PM₁₀ and CO₂. The amenity value with 60 percent represents the environmental standards of subjected factors. Based on the field survey using the monitoring system developed under this study, the amenity values of CO₂ whose environmental standard is 1,000ppm were 97% for 400ppm and 26% for 1,100ppm, respectively. That of PM₁₀ having 150㎍/㎥ as an environmental standard were 99% for 25㎍/㎥ and 80% for 100㎍/㎥. Evaluated amenity based on VOCs concentration at the subjected areas was in bad condition. And those for PM10 and CO₂ were dependant on the floating population. From the results of this study, the real-time sensor monitoring system installed with the amenity evaluation technique could be a practical tool to evaluate indoor air quality to manage air quality of underground spaces like subway station. New amenity assessment technique using a real-time sensor monitoring of indoor air quality as well as physical environmental properties was developed in this study. The concentrations of CO₂, PM₁₀, VOCs were considered as new parameters to analyze the indoor air quality and they are included in an amenity assessment program of indoor area. We found that the new method is better to express the amenity degree of residents through field tests than conventional thermal comfort technique.

This study was conducted with respect to the causal factors revealed through the investigation of the recent airlines aircraft crash accident which occurred while aircraft was on the climb-out or on the final approach. This study also highlighted the importance of flight deviation and exceedance occurrences in consideration of Flight Operational Quality Assurance Program(FOQA). Twenty airline pilots participated in the flight experiment to perform ten(10) sets of simulated approaches and landings. As a result, Twelve(12) kinds of deviation events were discovered. In this respect, The FOQA program must be fully implemented to prevent any flight safety incident under the auspices of the Korea domestic aviation community as well.

To reduce winging scapula, various exercise protocols have been widely used by clinicians. Selective serratus anterior strengthening, and restoring balanced function, are especially recommended to reduce winging scapula. The purpose of this study was to investigate visual biofeedback using a real time video camera display system for monitoring scapular winging during arm lowering. For this study, 13 males with winging scapular were recruited during arm lowering. Electromyography (EMG) activity was recorded from the serratus anterior (SA) and upper trapezius (UT) of the right side and compared with normal EMG activity using a paired t-test. The study showed, through visual biofeedback, that EMG activity significantly increased in the SA and significantly decreased in the UT (p<.05). These results suggest that visual biofeedback can be recommended as an effective method for scapular eccentric control, to prevent scapular winging during arm lowering.

비둘기 깃털을 이용하여 섬지역(경기도 덕적도), 도심지역(서울), 공단지역(여천, 안산, 울산, 부산)의 납 오염 수준을 모니터링 해본 결과, 깃털의 평균 납 농도는 섬지역이 2.55 μg/wet g, 도심 지역이 4.99 μg/wet g, 공단지역이 3.08~9.01 μg/wet g, 으로 각 지역간에 유의한 농도 차이가 있는 것으로 조사되었다(p〈0.05). 다만, 여천 공단의 경우 다른 공단에 비해 상대적으로 낮게 나타났으며 섬지역과 비슷한 수준의 납이 검출되었다. 이러한 각 지역간 깃털의 납 농도는 대기오염 농도와도 비슷한 경향을 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 납 농도가 비교적 낮은 덕적도와 여천 공단의 경우 간과 깃털 조직간에 정의 상관관계가 있는 것으로 밝혀졌지만(p〈0.05) 그외의 지역에서는 상대적으로 간 농도에 비해 깃털의 농도가 높았으며, 두 조직간에 상관관계가 없는 것으로 조사되었다(p〉0.05) 이와 같은 결과는 덕적도와 여천 공단지역의 깃털 중 납의 대부분은 체내 조직으로부터 깃털로 이행되어진 것으로 판단되지만, 그 외 지역에서는 체내 조직에서 깃털로 이행된 양보다는 외부로부터 깃털에 부착된 양이 더 크다는 것을 시사한다.
