Renewable energy (RE) is essential to comprise sustainable societies, especially, in rural villages of developing countries. Furthermore, application of off-grid RE systems to health care can improve the quality of life. In this research, a RE-based vaccination supply management system was constructed to enlarge the cold-chain in developing countries for the safe storage and delivery of vaccines. The system was comprised of the construction of RE plants and development of vaccine carriers. RE plants were constructed and connected to health posts in local villages. The cooling mechanism of vaccine carriers was improved and monitoring devices were installed. The effect of the system on vaccine cold-chain was evaluated from the field test and topographical analysis in the southern village of Nepal. RE plants were normally operated for the vaccine refrigerator in the health post. The modified vaccine carriers had a longer operation time and better temperature control via monitoring and RE-based recharging functionality. The topographical analysis estimated that the system can cover larger region. The system prototype showed great potential regarding the possibility of a sustainable and enlarged cold-chain. Thus, RE-based vaccine supply management is expected to facilitate vaccine availability while minimizing waste in the supply chain.

The purpose of this study was to develop the safety theme-based integrated teaching learning process plans for the middle school Home Economics(HE) Instruction and ultimately to contribute for the middle school students to live their safe lives. To achieve the goals of this study, HE curriculum documents from the 1st to the 2015 revision were analyzed and a survey was conducted to identify the middle school students' current status of safety accidents and needs on the HE safety education. The respondents of the survey were the 512 students of one ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$ Girls' Middle School in Busan. And then, the seven integrated themes were selected, each seven integrated theme-networks were formed, and safety theme-based Home Economics curriculum and learning materials were developed. The results of this study were as the follows. The safety education content has continually been included from the first HE curriculum of 1954 to the 2015 revised HE curriculum. The middle school student respondents highly needed the content of 'the methods to deal with sexual violence and prostitution prevention', 'suicide prevention', and 'bullying net' for the HE safety education. All the 42 items were needed for the HE safety education by the respondents. The safety theme-based HE teaching learning process plans developed finally included the seven integrated themes, which were (1) dietary life safety, (2) adolescents' sex and safety, (3) adolescents' relationships with friends and safety, (4) family life and safety, (5) dwelling life and safety, (6) adolescents' egos and safety, and (7) social environment and safety. Each integrated theme consisted of three to six small themes, which amounted to total 28(for 35 lessons). Each small theme was presented with learning objectives and particular goals. The total 157 learning materials including the Home Economics curriculum were developed, which offered learning objectives and content for each safety theme, total 28 teaching and learning plans(for 35 lessons) were developed, which offered specific instructions for the easy implementation of the curriculum in the classroom, 28 PPTs, 25 film materials, four reading materials, 61 workbooks, 14 activity sheets, 16 evaluation sheets, 3 test sheets, 2 reference materials, and 4 learning material models(the refrigerator model, traffic lights for discussions, food tray model and stickers, and food mileage card). In this study, the safety education themes of 'clothing life and safety', 'conflict and safety', 'professional life and safety', and 'consumer and safety' were not addressed because these theme were not needed highly by the respondents. Therefore, for the further development of the teaching learning process plans for the HE safety education, it is necessary to develop and evaluate the teaching learning process plans to address the themes of 'clothing life and safety', 'conflict and safety', 'professional life and safety', and 'consumer and safety'.

Since nitrogen(N) is a volatile compound affected by many environmental factors, determining the N content of manure tends to be difficult. Upon arrival in the laboratory, the manure should be moist and refrigerated. Manure samples will have variable N contents due to drying temperature, and the presence of soil in the sample will affect N content. Acidification of the sample prevents ammonia volatilization and should be done before drying. It is recommended that manure samples be pretreated with a strong oxidizing agent, KMnO$_4$, followed by digestion under reduced conditions (reduced Fe-$H_{2}$ $SO_{4}$ ), which achieves a complete recovery of both $NO_{3}$ -N and $NO_{2}$ -N without a low recovery of $NH_{4}$ -N, resulting in a more accurate determination of N content. Accuracy of results for N content determined by recently developed rapid analysis techniques in the field should be tested by comparison with results obtained at laboratories using approved standard methods. Most commonly, the Kjeldahl system is used to determine manure N content. More research is needed on the effects of species, breed, age and individuals on the nutrient contents of manure. The procedures for manure sampling on the farm, shipping and handling of the sample until it reaches the laboratory, and the methods of sampling of the manure at the laboratory must be studied. Development of animal agricultural laboratories where feed, manure, soil, and water are all analyzed by appropriate specialists is needed.

1970년대에 개발된 마이크로 프로세서는 제어기기 분야 및 소형 컴퓨터에서 주로 사용되어 오다가 1980년대에 이르러 RISC(Reduced Instruction Set Computer) 구조의 도입으로 중대형 컴퓨터에 이르기까지 광범위하게 사용되고 있다. 또한 반도체 기술의 급격한 발전으로 슈퍼스칼라 구조가 마이크로 프로세서에서도 적용되고 있으며 동작 속도도 수백 MHz에 이르고 있다. 마이크로 프로세서는 프로그램을 수행하기 위해서 프로그램과 데이터를 메모리로부터 읽어 와야 한다. 그런데 메모리 용량은 빠른 속도로 증가하고 있지만 동작 속도는 마이크로 프로세서의 동작 속도에 크게 미치지 못하고 있다. 1980년에 DRAM의 접근 속도는 250nsec이었으나 1998년에 RDRAM의 동작속도는 300MHz로 70여배 빨라졌다. 그러나 마이크로프로세서는 1980년에 8086의 동작 속도가 8MHz이던 것이 1998년에는 팬티엄-2가 500MHz에 이르고 있다. 더욱이 팬티엄-2는 슈퍼스칼라 구조이므로 이를 감안하면 1GHz 이상에 이르러 120여 배 빨라진 것을 알 수 있다. 이와 같은 메모리 속도와 마이크로 프로세서 속도 차이에 더하여, 메모리와 마이크로 프로세서를 인쇄 회로 기판에서 연결하는데 따른 물리적 특성은 변화하지 않으므로 데이터 전송 폭을 넓히는 것에는 한계가 있다. 따라서 향후 컴퓨터 성능 발달을 제한하는 주요 요소 중 하나는 마이크로 프로세서와 메모리 사이의 데이터 전송 폭이다. 프로그램과 데이터가 메모리에 저장되는 본 뉴먼 방식의 컴퓨터에서 데이터 전송 폭을 줄이기 위해서는 코드 밀도(Code Density)가 높은 컴퓨터 구조를 연구하는 것이 필요하다. 한편 마이크로 프로세서는 실장 제어용으로 거의 모든 전자 제품 및 자동화 기기에서 채용하고 있다. 특히 냉장고, 에어콘, 전축, TV, 세탁기 등 가전기기와 Fax, 복사기, 프린터 등 사무용기기와 자동차, 선박, 자동화기계 등 사무 및 산업용 기기와 PDA(휴대용 정보 기기), NC(Network Computer) 등 정보 기기 그리고 각종 오락기, 노래 반주지 등 정보 기기 등에서 사용하는 실장 제어용 마이크로 프로세서 시장은 매년 10% 이상씩 성장하고 있으며, 21세기 산업을 주도하는 핵심 기술로 자리 매김하고 있다. 이러한 실장 제어용 기기는 마이크로 프로세서와 메모리 및 입출력 자이가 하나의 반도체에 집적되는 경우가 많다. 그런데 반도체 가격은 반도체 크기에 따라 결정되며, 가장 넓은 면적을 차지하는 것은 메모리이다. 따라서 반도체 가격을 낮추기 위해서는 메모리 크기를 줄여야 하며, 이를 위해서 또한 코드 밀도가 높은 컴퓨터 구조에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 최근에는 322비트 RISC 명령어를 16비트 명령어로 축약한 구조가 연구되었다. ARM-7TDMI는 ARM-7의 16비트 축약 명령어 구조이며, TR4101은 MIPS-R3000의 16비트 축약 명령어 구조이다. 이들 16비트 축약 명령어 RISC는 종래 RISC와의 호환성을 위하여 2가지 모드로 동작하므로 구조가 복잡하고, 16비트 명령어에서는 8개의 레지스타만을 접근할 수 있으므로 성능이 크게 떨어지는 단점을 가진다.

Peltier 효과를 이용한 열전소자는 열응담 감도가 좋고 선택적 냉각이 가능하며 무소음, 무진동 및 소형화의 장점으로 각종 전자부품의 국부냉각소자로 응용되고 있다. 또한 최근 냉매의 사용없이 냉각이 가능한 열전재료를 이용한 자동차나 가정용 에어컨 및 냉장고 등의 각종 냉방시스템의 개발도 크게 주목을 받고 있다. 기존의 Bi2Te3계 단결정 열전재료는 성능지수는 우수하나, 기계적 취약성에 기인하여 소자가공시 수율 저하가 가장 큰 문제점으로 지적되고 있다. 이와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위해 최근 단결정에 비해 기계적 강도가 우수한 다결정 열전재료의 제조공정에 관한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있으며, 그 일환으로 기계적 합금화법을 이용한 열전재료의 제조공정이 연구되고 있다. 원료금속이 고 에너지 볼-밀 내에서의 연쇄적인 파괴와 압접에 의해 합금분말로 변화되는 기계적 합금화 공정은 상온공정으로 이를 사용하여 다결정 열전재료를 제조시 기존의 다결정 열전재료의 제조공정인 "용해 및 분쇄법'과 비교하여 제조단가를 낮출 수 있는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 전자냉각소자용 열전재료로서 상온부근에서 성능지수가 가장 우수한 p형 (Bi,Sb)2Te3 및 n형 Bi2(Te,Se)3 합금분말을 기계적 합금화 공정으로 제조하여 분말 특성을 분석하였으며, 가압소결 후 열전특성의 변화거동을 연구하였다. 순도 99.99% 이상인 Bi, Sb, Te, Se granule을 (Bi1-xSbx)2Te3 및 Bi2(Te1-ySey)3 조성에 맞게 칭량하여 불과 분말의 무게비 5:1로 강구와 함께 공구강 vial에 장입 후, Spex mixer/mill을 이용하여 기계적 합금화 하였다. 기계적 합금화 공정으로 제조한 분말에 대한 X-선 회절분석과 시차 열분석으로 합금화 정도를 분석하였다. (Bi1-xSbx)2Te3 및 Bi2(Te1-ySey)3 합금분말을 10-5 torr의 진공중에서 300℃∼550℃의 온도로 30분간 가압소결하였다. 가압소결체의 파단면에서의 미세구조를 주사전자현미경으로 관찰하였으며, 상온에서 가압소결체의 열전특성을 측정하였다. (Bi1-xSbx)2Te3의 기계적 합금화에 요구되는 공정시간은 Sb2Te3 함량에 따라 증가하여 x=0.5 조성에서는 4 시간 45분, x=0.75 조성에서는 5 시간, x=1 조성에서는 6 시간 45분의 vibro 밀링이 요구되었다. n형 Bi2(Te1-ySey)3 합금분말의 제조에 요구되는 밀링시간 역시 Bi2Se3 함량 증가에 따라 증가하였으며 Bi2(Te0.95Se0.05)3 합금분말의 제조에는 2시간, Bi2(Te0.9Se0.1)3 및 Bi2(Te0.85Se0.15)3 합금분말의 형성에는 3시간의 bivro 밀링이 요구되었다. 기계적 합금화로 제조한 p형 (Bi0.2Sb0.8)2Te3 및 n형 Bi2(Te0.9Se0.1)3 가압 소결체는 각기 2.9x10-3/K 및 2.1x10-3/K 의 우수한 성능지수를 나타내었다.

Sanitary management practices were assessed to insure the safety of school foodservice, to prevent the outbreak of foodborne illness, and to improve the quality of school foodservice. To accomplish these objectives, a survey was conducted and analyzed on elementary and high school foodservice operations located in Seoul area. A Questionnaire from based on HACCP standards was developed and used for self-reported evaluation of the school foodservice managers on their sanitary management practices. The results were analysed by examining their activities and identifying weaknesses in those activities. The questionnaire was composed of three sectors with all 53 questions; 33 questions for time-temperature management, 5 for personal hygiene and 15 for equipment/facility sanitation. Five-point-scale was used on the questionnaire answers. Among the schools responded,253 (98.4% of the total) were elementary schools and 19 (1.6%) were high schools. Among the three sectors, personal hygiene performance was mostly well conducted by marking average 4.06$\pm$0.57. Equipment/facility sanitation came next by marking average 3.84$\pm$0.53. Time-temperature marked average 3.45$\pm$0.46. “Storage after cooking (2.03$\pm$0.94)”was identified as the least managed activities because the school foodservice operations were not equipped well with hot holding and/or cold holding. “Separate use of sink per usage (3.03$\pm$1.10)” and “proper location of hand washing facility (3.07$\pm$1.13))” were identified as the least practiced activities in equipment/facility sanitation sector. To enhance these practices, proper number of sinks and hand washing facilities should be equipped first within the kitchen area.
