고분자 분리막의 대표적인 형태 중 하나인 평판형 분리막은 제조가 용이하여 실험실에서 분리막 소재 연구에서부 터 실제 상용 분리막 생산에 이르기까지 널리 활용되는 분리막의 형태이다. 정밀여과 및 한외여과 등에 사용되는 평판형의 다공성 고분자 분리막은 주로 상분리 공정을 통해 제조할 수 있으며, 여기에는 비용매 유도 및 증기 유도 상분리 공정이 활 용된다. 그러나 상분리 공정 특성상 주변 환경과 실험자에 따라 샘플 간 편차가 쉽게 발생하여 재현성의 확보가 어려운 점이 있다. 따라서 개발된 제조기술을 스케일업 및 재현성 확보를 위해 제어된 환경에서 연속식 대면적 제조가 가능한 롤투롤 제 조장치가 필요하며, 본 연구에서는 실험실 스케일의 제조기술을 나이프 및 슬롯다이 롤투롤 공정으로 스케일 업 했을 때 나 타나는 제조 환경 차이에 따른 분리막의 특성 변화를 비교하였다. 최종적으로 연속식 제조공정 인자에 대한 최적화를 통해 대면적 제조 시 분리막의 균일성을 확보하였다.

Although thin-film nanocomposite membranes (TFNs) have paved the way to develop high-performance reverse osmosis (RO) membranes, scale-up production of TFNs is still challenging issue. Herein, we introduced a novel preparation method for TFNs using spray-assisted nanofiller pre-deposition (Spray method) to circumvent the limitations in conventional method. The precise control of nanofiller (ZIF-8) loading was possible by simply varying the spraying ZIF-8 concentration. Most importantly, TFNs prepared by both Spray and conventional method showed similar RO performances, while Spray method only requires ~100 times minimized amount of ZIF-8 with an unprecedentedly short deposition time (< 1 min) ever reported. Our results revealed that Spray method would be promising for the scale-up of TFNs in terms of cost, time, and controllability.

The lack of seed sludges for Ammonium Oxidizing Bacteria (AOB) and slow-growing ANaerobic AMMonium OXidation (ANAMMOX) bacteria is one of the major problem for large-scale application. In this study, 24m3 of single-stage SBR (Sequencing Batch Reactor) was operated to remove nitrogen from reject water using AOB and ANAMMOX bacteria cultivated from activated sludge in the field. The ANAMMOX activity was found after 44 days of cultivation in the ANAMMOX cultivation reactor, and then 0.66 kg N/m3/d of the nitrogen removal rate was achieved at 0.78 kg N/m3/d of the nitrogen loading rate at 153 days of cultivation. The AOB cultivation reactor showed 0.2 kg N/m3/d of nitrite production rate at 0.4 kg N/m3/d of nitrogen loading rate after 36 days of operation. The cultivated ANAMMOX bacteria and AOB was mixed into the single-stage SBR. The feed distribution was applied to remove total nitrogen stably in the single-stage SBR. The nitrogen removal rate in the single-stage SBR was gradually enhanced with an increase of specific activities of both AOB and ANAMMOX bacteria by showing 0.49 kg N/m3/d of the nitrogen removal rate at 0.56 kg N/m3/d of the nitrogen loading rate at 54 days of operation.

Fish skin peptide-loaded liposomes were prepared in 100 mL and 1 L solution as lab scales, and 10 L solution as a prototype scale. The particle size and zeta potential were measured to determine the optimal conditions for the production of fish skin peptide-loaded liposome. The liposome was manufactured by the following conditions: (1) primary homogenization at 4,000 rpm, 8,000 rpm, and 12,000 rpm for 3 minutes; (2) secondary homogenization at 40 watt (W), 60 W, and 80 W for 3 minutes. From this experimental design, the optimal conditions of homogenization were selected as 4,000 rpm and 60 W. For the next step, fish peptides were prepared as the concentrations of 3, 6, and 12% at the optimum manufacturing conditions of liposome and stored at 4ºC. Particle size, polydispersion index (pdI), and zeta potential of peptide-loaded liposome were measured for its stability. Particle size increased significantly as manufacture scale and peptide concentration increased, and decreased over storage time. The zeta potential results increased as storage time increased at 10 L scale. In addition, 12% peptide showed the formation of a sediment layer after 3 weeks, and 6% peptide was considered to be the most suitable for industrial application.

최근 정삼투 기술 연구는 정삼투막 물질이동, 다양한 분야 적용과 관련된 연구가 주로 수행되었다. 정삼투 공정 실용화를 위해서는 공정설계와 관련 된 파일럿 규모 연구가 추가적으로 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 평판형 정삼투 모듈을 이용하여 운전조건(유도용액 및 유입수 유량과 농도, 모듈 개수)에 따른 모듈 성 능을 분석하고, 이를 바탕으로 정삼투 공정 설계 방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 직렬로 연결된 평막 모듈의 개수가 증가함에 따라 운전압력이 증가하였으나, 나권 형 모듈에 비해 압력 증가량이 낮아 평막 모듈 형태가 정삼투 공정 스케일 업에 적합하다고 판단된다. 유입수 유량대비 막면적은 삼투압차를 근거로 예측한 회수율을 얻는 주요 인자임을 제시하였고, 이를 바탕으로 정삼투 공정설계 연구 결과를 나타내었다.

Methyl Bromide (MB) has been regulated by montreal protocol due to ozone depletion since 1992, and there is a need to develop MB alternative fumigation methods. To find out the efficacies and tolerance in developmental stages of citrus mealybugs (Planococcus citri) which frequently infested in imported pineapples, phosphine(PH3) gas was tested in different exposure times (2~24 hr) and concentrations (0.1∼2g/m3) in small desiccators at 8℃. Based on Lethal 99% concentration × time products (LCTP 99%) of PH3 gas to target developmental insect, 2g/m3 PH3 was applied for 24 hr in 300 m3 fumigation facility, which was designed in well sealed and evacuation system (5 air exchange/min). We monitored PH3 gas in fumigation facility to confirm CTP and checked PH3 gas in atmospheres in air ventiliation process after fumigations to make quarantine guideline and protocol for worker safety as well as efficacy to target pest.

Malaysia is currently implementing the use of the Frog Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) in all government schools in the country. This paper outlines the basis for introducing the VLE in leveraging teaching and learning in Malaysian schools. It discusses the state of current literature associated with the use of VLE. In addition, it articulates the need for programme evaluation as a means for decision-makers to plan and take necessary corrective action to better implement VLE among teachers and students in schools. To sustain the implementation of this endeavour, a monitoring and evaluation mechanism must be put in place. This would determine how the VLE is performing and ascertain key success factors with the use of the Frog VLE among teachers and students. For this purpose, a survey research was undertaken using a sample comprising 426 teachers and 223 students from primary and secondary schools throughout the country. Reliability computations show Cronbach alpha values greater than .90 for the various constructs in the scaled items of the teachers’ and students’ questionnaires. The key findings of the study show significantly different perceptions (p < .05) in the use of Frog VLE as a learning tool between primary pupils and secondary students with significantly higher perceptions from secondary students on all aspects ranging from ease of use of Frog VLE to using Frog VLE as a collaborative tool for interaction within and outside the classroom. Factor analysis via the Principal Component Analysis method shows 3 critical success factors cited by teachers in the use of Frog VLE. The first factor concerns the functionality of VLE as a pedagogical tool; the second is associated with the user-friendliness of the VLE; and the third concerns the VLE as a tool for collaboration. An analysis of ranks derived from the mean computations of the variables within the first factor shows the VLE provides a platform for teachers to share ideas and opinions being ranked first. This is followed by VLE being used by students to obtain learning materials, which is ranked second. Third, the VLE being used by teachers to source for new teaching materials. Other major findings include issues associated with slow and unstable internet connectivity where secondary schools fared worse compared to primary schools and that rural schools tended to have more problems in connectivity as compared to urban schools. This paper puts forth a proposition that educational technology needs continuous monitoring and evaluation and effective change management is imperative to attain success in its implementation.

Balance is a complex motor skill that depends on interactions between multiple sensorimotor processes and environmental and functional contexts. Many rehabilitation specialists believe that balance assessment under multitask conditions may be a more sensitive indicator of balance problems and falls than balance assessment in a single-task context. Functional Gait Assessment has many tasks that allow for testing under multitask conditions. The purpose of this study was to determine the concurrent validity between the Functional Gait Assessment (FGA), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), and Timed "Up & Go" Test (TUG) in patients with stroke. One hundred and five participants with at least 3 months post stroke and able to walk at least 6 m with or without a mono cane, participated in this study. Concurrent validity between the FGA, BBS, and TUG was assessed using Spearman rank order correlation. The FGA correlated with the BBS (r=.80, p<.01) and TUG (r=-.77, p<.01). The good and moderate correlation between the FGA, BBS, and TUG establishes the concurrent validity of the FGA in patients with stroke. These measures provide clinicians with valuable information about patients' functional balance capabilities.

실무에서 지진해석법으로 널리 쓰이는 방법은 등가정적해석법과 응답스펙트럼해석법이다. 이 중 등가정적해석법에 의한 밑면전단력은 구조물의 주축을 해석좌표축에 어떻게 배치하는가와 상관없이 일관된 값을 나타낸다. 그러나 응답스펙트럼해석은 해석좌표 축에 구조물의 주축을 다르게 배치하여 해석을 수행하면 밑면전단력이 각기 다르게 발생한다. 이는 엔지니어가 구조물을 설계함에 있어 구조물의 주축을 해석좌표축에 어떻게 설정했는지에 따라 설계부재력이 모두 달라질 수 있음을 뜻한다. 또한 응답스펙트럼해석은 지진을 가한 방향의 직각방향에서 적지 않은 응답이 발생하는 경우가 생긴다. 한방향 해석에 대한 X와 Y축을 따라 분리되는 이러한 양방향 응답은 보정계수 산정시 쓰이는 밑면전단력을 작게 만들며 이는 결과적으로 보정계수를 크게하여 과다설계의 우려가 생긴다. 내진설계시 발생하는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 수평의 강성 차이에 따라 구조물을 크게 세 가지(양방향 대칭 구조물, 한방향 비대칭구조물, 양방향 비대칭구조물)로 분류하여 각각의 경우에 대하여 간단한 모델을 선정하고 구조물의 주축을 회전시켜가면서 지진해석을 수행하였다. 각 경우의 예제구조물이 가지는 동적특성과 설계부재력을 살펴보았다. 현재 실무에서 적용되는 보정계수 산정법에 의한 설계부재력과 앞선 문제들을 해결하고자 본 논문에서 제안하는 새로운 보정계수 산정법에 의한 설계부재력을 비교하여 제안하는 보정계수 산정법의 효율성을 검토하였다. 그 결과로 새로 제안된 보정계수 산정법에 의하여 설계부재력을 산정하는 것이 내진설계시 엔지니어들이 겪을 수 있는 혼란을 덜어주며 경제적인 부재설계가 가능함을 알 수 있었다.되어 전 실험구 중에서 가장 높은 생존율 및 증식률을 보였다. 1.2-propanedial 1.5 M 실험구에서는 실험개시시 30\;{\times}\;10^4\;cell/ml이던 것이 3 일 후 138\;{\times}\;10^4\;cell/ml였고, 실험종료시인 5 일 후에는 385\;{\times}\;10^4\;cell/ml로 증식되어 가장 높은 증식률을 보였다. 참굴 D상 유생을 대상으로 먹이효과를 조사한 결과 실험구와 대조구간 유생의 성장 및 생존율에 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다.C에서 73.3%, 10^{\circ}C에서 63.3% 및 5^{\circ}C에서 56.7%로 수온이 30^{\circ}C 이내에서는 높을수록 높은 경향을 보였다. 염분에 따른 잠입 실험 결과는 실험 개시 300분 경과 후 염분 30 psu에서 93.3%로 가장 높았고, 35 psu에서 90.0%, 25 psu에서 83.3%, 20 psu에서 60.0%, 15 psu 이하에서는 거의 잠입이 이루어 지지 않았다. 따라서, 적정 살포를 위한 잠입률은 치패의 크기와 상관없이 저질종류는 모래 (75%) + 뻘 (25%), 입자크기는 1 mm 모래에서 높게 나타났다. 공기 중 노출시간은 짧을수록, 수온은 30^{\circ}C 이내에서 높을수록, 염분은 20-35 psu 이내에서 높을수록 잠입률이 높은 경향을 나타내었다. 교수학습모형에 관련된 지식을 묻는 내용으로 주로 출제되었다. 이에 구체적인 개선방안으로 특정 교수학습

This study aims to compare the relationship between the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) scores, Timed Up & Go (TUG), Functional Independent Measure (FIM), and subject characteristics. All of the 18 subjects were women between the ages of 68 and 91 (mean=80.2, SD=5.43), and they all lived at the nursing home in Wonju. Balance was measured using BBS, and functional mobility was measured using TUG. FIM was used to evaluate functional independence. Data were analyzed using Spearman correlation. Statistically significant differences were noted between BBS and TUG (r=-.486, p<.05). There were no significant statistical differences between total FIM and BBS, TUG. The FIM items "locomotion" and "communication" showed significant statistical differences between BBS and TUG. The results suggest that FIM may be able to predict dangerous falls in elderly people.

The purposes of this study were to find correlations among Fugl-Meyer Assessment scale, gait speed, and Timed Up & Go test (TUG) and to predict gait ability from subscales of Fugl-Meyer Assessment scale. The study population consisted of 30 stroke patients referred to the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine in the Bundang Jaesang General Hospital. All subjects were ambulatory with or without an assistive device. All participants were assessed on Fugl-Meyer Assessment scale and gait speed (m/s), TUG (s). The data were analyzed using independent t-test, Pearson product moment correlation analysis and stepwise multiple regression. The results revealed that all items of Fugl-Meyer Assessment scale, except passive joint range of motion were significantly correlated with gait speed and TUG. In particular, sensation score, lower extremity motor and coordination score have a significant correlation with gait speed and TUG (p<.05). The sensation score and lower extremity motor score were important factors in comfortable gait and maximal gait speed. Their power of explanation regarding comfortable gait and maximal gait speed were 63.0% and 65.0%, respectively. The sensation score and lower extremity coordination score were important factors in TUG. Their power of explanation regarding TUG was 55.0%. These results showed that Fugl-Meyer Assessment scale is significantly correlated with gait speed and TUG. Therefore Fugl-Meyer Assessment scale is an appropriate assessment tool to predict gait ability of patients with stroke. Further study about gait speed and TUG by change of Fugl-Meyer Assessment score is needed using a longitudinal study design.
