This work is concerned with a plan for preventing accidents of CO gas leak from gas boilers, involving the enforcement of installations of both CO alarm system and condensing boilers, and financial support of government grants. If amongst 1,460,000 beneficiaries of basic livelihood security, one million households in use of gas boilers receive 3-year support of 200,000 won, the difference of prices between common and condensing boilers, the government grants would be 2,000 billion won. If 3 million common householders are in 3-year support of 100,000 won, government grants would be 3,000 billion won. Therefore, 3-year grand total of government grants would be 5,000 billion won. Finance for government grants can be purveyed from energy saving; yearly 2,000 billion won of energy saving by enforcing to replace one million existing boilers with condensing boilers, leading to 2 trillion won of energy saving for 10 years. In this way, 6,000 billion won of 3-year grand total of government grants for CO alarm system and condensing boilers can be purveyed. The rest amount would be fundraised for energy savings. We claim that our proposal can make an achievement of more than 50% reduction of CO leak accidents during 10 years.

GPR (Ground Penetrating RADAR) is a sensor that inspects the pavement state of roads, sinkholes, and underground pipes. It is widely used in road management. MMS (Mobile Mapping System) creates a detailed and accurate road map of the road surface and its surroundings. If both types of data are built in the same area, it is efficient to construct both ground and underground spatial information at the same time. In addition, since it is possible to grasp the road and important facilities around the road, the location of underground pipelines, etc. without special technology, an intuitive understanding of the site is also possible, which is a useful tool in managing the road or facilities. However, overseas equipment to which this latest technology is applied is expensive and does not fit the domestic situation. LiDAR (Light Detection And Raging) and GNSS/INS (Global Navigation Satellite System / Inertial Navigation System) were synchronized in order to replace overseas developed equipment and to secure original technology to develop domestic equipment in the future, and GPR data was also synchronized to the same GNSS/INS. We developed software that performs georeferencing using the location and attitude information from GNSS/INS at the time of acquiring synchronized GPR data. The experiments were conducted on the road site by dividing the open sky and the non-open sky. The road and surrounding facilities on the ground could be easily checked through the 3D point cloud data acquired through LiDAR. Georeferenced GPR data could also be viewed with a 3D viewer along with point cloud data, and the location of underground facilities could be easily and quickly confirmed through GPR data.

As a result of the rapid entry into an aging society and westernized eating habits, the number of heart disease patients caused by angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, and high blood pressure has increased by more than 100,000 over five years. Heart disease has consistently ranked second in the cause of death in Korea over the past eight years, and medical expenses consumed annually reach 6 trillion won. While various treatments are being proposed for more patients, drug-coated balloon catheters have been developed and gradually commercialized to solve the disadvantages of stent implantation such as restenosis and increased risk of bleeding due to long-term double antiplatelet medication. In Korea, it began to use a drug-coated balloon catheter with the first release of it called "SeQuent Please^Ⓡ (Bibrown Korea)" in 2010. Its demand increased gradually as insurance benefits were applied in 2012. Drug-coated balloon angioplasty is increasing in use not only in Korea but also around the world, especially in the Asia-Pacific region, including Japan. Until now, the demand for domestic products is increasing, and if the efficiency in vivo and clinical trials is proven in the future, it is expected to be an effective procedure compared to high-risk stent implantation.

The structures to be demolished have become diverse in types from reinforced concrete to steel. The demand for demolition of steel structures is recently increasing in Korea. Most of flexible linear-shaped charges for steel demolition are now imported from foreign countries. To determine the optimum parameters of design far domestic development of flexible linear-shaped charges, some basic experiments have been carried out and their results are summarized as follows; Copper is shown to be superior to aluminium and lead as a liner material. It is also proved that the optimum apex angle of liner is 90$^{\circ}$ in comparision with 45$^{\circ}$, 60$^{\circ}$ and 120$^{\circ}$ Adequate thickness of liners, standoff distance in terms of quantity of explosives are also examined. Explosives and liners are required to be plasticized in order to improve the bond between explosives and various shapes of steel structures.

Objectives : Taraxaci Herba et Radix (THR) is widely used as a food and medicinal herb in Korea. It has been used for treatment of virus inflammatory disease, liver diseases and gastritis. So far, anti-inflammatory effects and constituents of various species in THR has not been studied for comparison. The aim of this study is to compare the anti-inflammatory effects of the aerial part and root from various THR. Also, we have compared the contents of its known constituents with each. Methods : In this study, we estimated anti-inflammatory effect and compared their constituent by HPLC. For the determination of anti-inflammatory effects, we investigated NO and $PGE_2$ production by ELISA. The expressions of iNOS was determined by western blotting in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 macrophage cells. And, standard compounds which are methyl gallate, gallic acid, syringic acid and esculetin of THR were analyzed by HPLC using a $C_{18}$ column. Results : Methanol extracts of THR decreased NO and $PGE_2$ production. The expressions of iNOS protein were also decreased in methanol extracts of THR. As a result, HPLC analysis showed that they showed similar patterns. Methyl gallate and esculetin showed the highest content. Methyl gallate was included over 10% content in each aerial part and root of THR. Conclusions : These results indicate that most of THR distributed in Korea might represent therapeutic agent for treatment of inflammatory diseases.

This study presents an application of GIS technologies to construct the graphic user interface for 3-dimensional exhibition of the results obtained by ocean hydrodynamic model. In coastal management studies, GIS provide a receptacle for scattered data from diverse sources and an improvement of the 3D visualization of such data. Within the frame of a GIS a variety of analytical, statistical and modeling tools can be applied to transform data and make them suitable for a given application. A 3D hydrodynamic model was driven by time-dependent external forcing such as tide, wind velocity, temperature, salinity, river discharge, and solar radiation under the open boundary condition. The Jinhae Bay was selected as a case study. Here, we have used GeoMania v2.5 GIS software and its 3D Analyst extension module to visualize hydrodynamic model result that were simulated around the Jinhae Bay.

This research studied the utilization of the bed log wastes as a papermaking grade pulp. Five different bed log samples from shiitake mushroom (Lentinus edodes (Berk.) Sing) cultivation were collected by the cultivating periods of 1 to 5 years. The wood chemical composition and the characteristics of kraft pulping of each sample were investigated. The results of chemical composition showed that the rate of carbohydrate (glucose and xylose) content in sapwood was decreased as the cultivation period was increased. In heartwood, there was no significant difference. The screening yield of non-cultivated bed log from kraft pulping was higher than that of cultivated one, but the reject of cultivated one, especially for 5 year-cultivated, was lower than non-cultivated bed log. The fiber length and width was continuously decreased as the cultivation period was increased. Therefore, the freeness of the pulp from the cultivated bed log was sharply decreased comparing to non-cultivated due to the fiber cutting and the increased fine content. The dry strengths were increased according to the increasing addition level of bed log kraft pulp to KOCC and non-cultivated wood pulp. From the overall results, the pulp from 5 years cultivated bed log can be reasonably used if it is mixed with long fiber pulp for advantages such as reducing beating time.

최근 호두 기내 소비량은 급증하나 대부분 실생묘로 조림되어 결실까지 장기간 소요되며, 무성 번식률이 낮아 보급확대가 어렵다. 본 연구는 호두나무 관행 묘목 번식법 개선이 가능한 우량 국산묘 대량증식 기술 개발로 최적 배양조건을 구명하고자 수행하였디. 호두나무 등 목본류는 식물 조직배양 기본배지에서 산화방지제를 첨가하여 사용하는 경우, 배양체에서 생기는 페놀 화합물(Phenolic compound)의 작용을 억제하여 배양 식물체의 갈변(Browning) 또는 흑변(Blackening) 현상을 감소시키는 효과가 있다. 페놀 추출물은 배지로 빠져나와 갈변시키며 생존율을 저하시키는 원인이 되고 이를 제거하는 산화방지제는 배양 식물체의 생산효율을 높이는 효과를 나타내는 강력한 항산화제(Antioxidant) 역할을 한다. 호두나무의 액아를 배양하게 되면 조직 및 배지의 갈변화가 심하게 일어나는데, 휴면 정도가 깊을 수록 정단에서 추출되는 페놀성 물질의 함량이 증가하며, 식물 조직 내 페놀성 물질의 함량 정도와 배양의 고사율과는 상관관계가 있다. 이러한 식물 배양체에서 생기는 페놀 화합물에 의해 발생되는 배양상의 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 계대배양을 자주해 주거나 활성탄(Activated charcoal), Ascorbic Acid 등의 첨가물을 배지에 추가하는 방법이 있다. 이에 따라 호두 '신령' 품종의 액아배양의 페놀집적을 제거하기 위해 배지 내에 산화방지제 첨가물질 등을 농도별로 처리하였다. 호두나무 액아 배양 후 8주차 산화화방지제 첨가물질의 농도별 처리 효과는 생존율은 85.3%를 보였으며, 신초 형성율 76.4%, 신초수 1.9개/주, 신초장 27mm/주의 양호한 결과를 나타냈으며, 페놀 제거 및 유식물체 고사 억제 효과를 보였다.

저급의 고지 원료를 두께 방향으로 고온 압착을 가하여 건조함으로써 전반적인 종이 물성 을 향상시키는 콘디벨트 건조 방식은 70년대 중반부터 80년대에 이르는 10여년에 걸친 개발 과정을 거쳤으며 90년대에 들어서 핀랜드의 Inkeroinen에 위치한 V alemt- Tarnpella의 연구 소에 최초의 파일로트 설비가 설치되었으며 그 후 1996년에는 핀랜드 ENSO사의 P Pank밟oski 판지공장에 설치됨으로써 세계 최초의 상업생산설비를 이루게 되었다. 기존의 실린더 건조 기술과 비교할 때 콘디벨트 건조방식은 건조속도를 약 5-15배 향상시킬 수 있 으며, 건조 에너지 절감에 큰 효과가 있을 뿐만 아니라 기존의 실린더 건조시 종이가 폭방 향으로 수축되 어 인장 stiffness와 압축 강도 동의 종이 물성 이 저 하되 는 반면 습윤상태 의 섬유를 120도씨이상에서 가열에 의해 리그닌을 연화시킴과 동시에 섬유의 유연성을 증가시켜 준다. 그리고 높은 압력을 가해줌으로써 섬유간의 결합 면적을 증가시키고 건조시 종이의 폭방향의 수축을 감소시켜 인장강도, 내부결합강도, 밀도, 표면평활성, 투기저항성 등 종이의 물성을 대폭 향상시켜주는 혁신적인 제지기술로 인정받고 있으며 국내의 경우 현재 1998년 부터 상업생산을 이루어짐으로써 그 공헌도는 매우 크다고 할 수 있다. 골판지의 주원료가 되는 국산 골판지 고지 (Korean old corrugated container, K KOCC)의 거듭된 재생처리로 인하여 미세분의 함량이 전체 지료의 절반 이상에 달할 뿐만 아니라, 섬유가 각질화와 단섬유화로 인하여 고온압착 건조처리 만으로는 골판지 고지로 생 산된 원지의 강도를 버진펄프로 생산된 원지가 가지는 강도에 준하는 강도로 향상시키는데 한계점을 가지게 된다. 유럽의 제지선진국들은 골판지 원지의 강도를 향상시키는 방편으로 표변에 전분 사이즈 프레스 처리를 도입하였으며 본 연구에서는 고온 압착 건조 처리 설비를 활용한 전분 표면처리의 가능성을 검토하고 골판지 원지의 강도를 향상시키기 위한 표면처리조건을 탐색하였다.
