역세척이 가능한 평막형 분리막 모듈을 분리막 생물반응기(MBR)에 침지시켜 운전 시간에 따른 흡입 압력을 측 정하였다. MLSS 8,000 mg/L 활성 슬러지 수용액에 공칭 세공크기가 0.2 μm, 유효막면적이 128 cm2인 분리막 모듈을 침지 시킨 후 투과 유속, quorum qeunching (QQ) 비드를 변화하며 흡입 압력을 확인하였다. Vacant bead (VB), BH4와 DKY-1의 실험군에서 FR과 SFCO 운전방식에 따른 효과를 비교, 분석하였다. 투과 유속 40 L/m2⋅h 이고 DKY-1 QQ 비드를 주입할 경우 흡입 압력 감소는 가장 효과적이었다. 또한 역세척에 의한 흡입 압력 감소 효과는 DKY-1 QQ 비드의 경우보다 2배 이 상 높게 나타났다.

COVID-19가 전 세계를 강타하면서 각 국가는 대혼란에 빠졌다. 전 세계 화물교역은 80 % 이상이 해상운송을 통해 이루어지고 있어 화물과 여객을 포함한 해상운송업은 COVID-19의 큰 영향을 받는 산업으로 예측되었다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 코로나 팬데믹 (Coronavirus Pandemic) 발생 전후로 아시아 주요 항만 컨테이너 항구의 팬데믹 전후 운영효율성을 분석하는 것이다. 항만의 운영효율성을 분석하기 위해서 자료포락분석(DEA)을 이용하였다. 본 연구의 분석 기간은 5년(2016~2020년)으로 2016년, 2017년, 2018년, 2019년을 코로나 이전으로 하고, 2020년을 포스트 코로나 시대로 설정하였다. 또한, 분석 대상으로는 아시아 상위 10개 항구 중 동종 DMU의 DEA 요건을 충족시킨 상하이, 광저우, 선전, 닝보-저우산, 부산 및 싱가포르 총 7개 항구를 선택하였다. DEA의 CCR 및 BCC 모델의 결과는 몇 가지 비효율성이 확인되었음에도 COVID-19 팬데믹 발생 시점에서 몇 개월 이후부터는 전반적으로 운영효율성이 코로나 이전 몇 년 동안보다 상대적으로 높았음을 확인하였다. 하지만 일부 항만 (부산, 광저우)의 경우에는 더욱 나은 운영효율성을 위해서 항만의 규모와 운영의 기술적 능력 등을 제고 할 필요가 있다.

구조 건전도 모니터링 시스템과 응답기반모드해석 기법의 발전과 함께 토목구조물의 고유진동수나 감쇠비, 모드형상과 같은 동특성의 변화를 통해 구조물의 상태를 평가하거나 손상도를 추정하는 연구가 지속적으로 수행되었다. 그러나 온도나 풍속, 진폭 같은 환경 및 거동조건에 따른 동특성의 변동성으로 인해 구조물의 손상이나 상태 변화에 의한 영향만을 파악하는 데 한계점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 복잡한 공기역학적 특성을 보이는 장대교량의 동특성과 환경 및 거동조건 사이의 상관성을 분석하기 위한 다중선형회귀분석 기반의 예측모델을 제안하였다. 응답기반모드해석 기법을 적용하여 3달간의 계측데이터로부터 대상 구조물의 고유진동수와 감쇠 비를 추정하고 온도나 풍속, 구조물의 진폭 등 환경 및 거동조건과의 다중선형회귀분석을 통해 각 요인의 변화가 동특성의 변동성에 미치는 영향을 정량화하였다. 또한, 랜덤 추출한 80%의 데이터를 토대로 다변수 회귀모델을 구축하고 나머지 20% 데이터의 환경 및 거동조건으로부터 예측한 값과 실제 추정치를 비교함으로써 제안한 모델의 예측 성능을 검증하였다. 마지막으로 단계적 회귀분석을 통해 기여도가 높은 독립변수를 파악하고 예측 성능을 개선하였다.

본 연구는 환경역동성이 기업의 동적역량과 운영역량의 변화와 혁신성과에 미치는 영향을 실증하였다. 이를 위하여 기업역량을 동적역량과 운영역량의 계층적 구조로 정의하고 계량화를 위하여 각 역량의 개념과 정의를 정리하였다. 동적역량, 운영역량, 혁신성과 및 환경역동성에 대한 선행연구를 통해 5개의 연구가설을 설정하였고, 우리나라 제조기업 300개 기업의 표본을 대상으로 가설을 검증하였다. 그 결과, 동적역량은 운영역량에 정(+)의 영향을 미치며 운영역량도 혁신성과에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 환경역동성이 높은 기업군은 운영역량이 급진적 혁신에 정(+)의 영향을 주며, 반대로 환경역동성이 낮은 기업군은 운영역량이 점진적 혁신에 정(+)의 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 환경역동성은 동적역량이 운영역량에 미치는 영향에 조절효과가 유의하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 동적역량과 운영역량을 프로세스로 구체화하여 기업의 동적역량 특성을 실증적으로 분석할 수 있는 기반을 마련하고, 환경변화가 기업역량과 혁신성과에 미치는 영향을 실증 한 것에 의의가 있다. 또한 급변하는 환경 속에서 기업이 경쟁우위를 지속하기 위해서 어떻게 역량을 변화해야 하는지에 대한 시사점을 제시한 것에도 의의가 있다.

Supply chain management can be defined as an information system that connects the inside and outside of a company. Its purpose is to systematically and strategically manage the flow of information, resources and services to improve the long-term performance of the entire organization, including individual companies connected to the supply chain, and the quality of service provided to customers. The ultimate goal of SCM is to create synergy through organic integration of supply and demand based on cooperation and collaboration with stakeholders in the supply chain. This study is based on the hypothesis that the company's management performance will improve as the level of SCM improves. Most of the previous studies dealt with the relationship between corporate performance and SCM in the IT area. In this study, research was conducted through human capacity with IT system. The causal relationship was demonstrated, and there was a difference in the perception of the results of this study depending on whether or not smart factories were consulted in the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution. There is a need to examine the links between management's value chain and its causal relationship.

The emission of odor, characterized by the combustion conditions and biomass types resulting from the use of a biomass incinerator, was analyzed. The following biomass types were considered: bark, board waste, sawdust, wood flour, wood fiver, wastewater sludge, and timber wastewater. As a study method, the physico-chemical characteristics of each biomass type were analyzed to predict the potential substances that might be emited under incomplete combustion conditions. And, the emission components of odor emission by biomass were analyzed at the laboratory level using a combustion device. In addition, the characteristics of the contaminant (odor) emission per mixture ratio of biomass were analyzed in a stoker incinerator that is in operation in an actual establishment at a scale of 300 ton/day. In the biomass emission experiment using the combustion device at the laboratory level, the major substances such as Acetic acid, Styrene, Toluene, Benzene, Dichloromethane, etc. were analyzed, and these components were determined to increase odor index. VOCs measurement in the outlet of the stoker incinerator indicated that Acetaldehyde, Ethanol, Acetonitrile, Ethyl acetate, Toluene, etc. were detected as the major substances. These were similar to the emission substances presented by the experiment that had investigated emissions by biomass type. A study on the Effect of Operational Conditions in biomass stocker incinerator on the concentration of odorous materials emitted from stack showed a close relationship between the input by biomass type and urea, temperature in the incinerator, and the tendency to emit/produce odor.

The purpose of this research is to examine the mediating effect of enterprise competitiveness on the relationship between operational service quality management and customer perception level of freight forwarders’ services in East Coast region of Peninsular Malaysia.

Despite the low removal efficiencies reported by previous studies, electro-flotation still stands out among other microalgae removal methods for its economical and environmental benefits. To enhance removal efficiency, the important factors that limit the performance of this method must be investigated. In this study, the possible ways of increasing the removal efficiency of microalgae have been explored by investigating the effects of several important variables in electro-flotation. Eight parameters, namely flotation time, rising time, current density, pH, conductivity, electrode distance, temperature and initial concentration were evaluated using a one-parameter-at-a-time approach. Results revealed that the operational parameters that greatly affected the removal efficiency of microalgae were electro-flotation time, current density, pH, and initial concentration. The effect of conductivity, electrode distance, and temperature on removal efficiency were insignificant. However, they exhibited positive an indirect positive effect on power demand, which is nowadays considered an equally important aspect in the running of a feasible and economically efficient electro-flotation process.

This study was performed to evaluate the drying characteristics of food waste in oil vacuum evaporation system withdrying conditions and composition of food waste. The food waste was collected and separated into 4 categories such asvegetables, fruits, grain (rice), meats and others. which composition were 41.9%, 26.7%, 2.8%, 25.5% and 0.4%,respectively. Each food waste separated was dried and compared its characteristics in the same condition of vacuumpressure (−450mmHg), temperature (110oC) and mixing ratio (oil:food waste=1:1) for 90min of drying period. Theexperimental results showed that the moisture contents of dried vegetables, fruits and meats were less than 10%. Howeverthe grain was hard to be dried which moisture content was much high as 24.5%. This high value of the grain was thoughtdue to the viscosity of grain which prohibit oil penetration and water vaporization during drying process. In order tocompare drying characteristics with operating parameters, vacuum pressure, temperature and mixing oil type were changed.The operating temperature and vacuum pressure were major sensitive parameters. As the temperature increase and thepressure lower, the drying rate of food waste was increased and its efficiency was also improved. Especially, the moisturecontent of dried food waste was lower than 5% which was satisfied SRF standard 10% at the temperature over 110oC.Compared the effect of mixing oil type, waste cooking oil was more effective than refined oil in viewpoint of dryingefficiency. However, there is no difference of drying efficiency between fresh and waste cooking oil.
