This study has performed comparative analysis on characteristics of contaminated 35 tributaries on seasonal variation/point discharge load/pollutant distribution of water quality factors(8) in order to understand the effect of the watershed in Nakdong River Basin. As a results, the water quality of $BOD_5$(Biochemical Oxygen Demand), Chl-a(Chlorophyll a) and Fecal E. Coli shows II grade at tributaries of more than 50% without COD(Chemical Oxygen Demand), TP(Total Phosphate), TOC(Total Oxygen Carbon) and TN(Total Nitrogen) factors. The specific discharge(Q) were occupied about 54.4% (19 sites) as $0.05m^3/sec/km^2$ value. Among these results, the contaminant level of Dalseocheon, Hyeonjicheon, Seokkyocheon 1, Uriyeongcheon and Dasancheon was also high, which has to consider a discharged pollutant load(kg/day). The 35 major tributaries of Nakdong River were included in 7 mid-watershed, such as Nakdong Waegwan, Geumho River, Nakdong Goryung, Nakdong Changnyung, Nam River, Nakdong Milyang, Nakdong River Hagueon. Especially, the discharged pollutant load of Nam River and Geumho River also was high according to the amount of discharge such as Kachang dam, Gongsan dam and Nam river dam. Seasonal difference of the water quality factors such as $BOD_5$, TN, SS and Q was observed largely, on the other hand the TP and Chl-a was not. This is guessed due to the precipitation effect of site, biological and physicochemical degradation properties of pollutant and etc. The co-relationship between the seasonal difference and water quality factors was observed using a Pearson correlation coefficients. Besides, the Multiple Regression analysis using a Stepwise Regression method was conducted to understand the effect between seasonal difference and water quality factors/regression equations. As a result, the Multiple Regression analysis was adapted in the spring, summer and autumn without the winter, which was observed high at spring, summer and autumn in the order COD/TP, Chl-a/TOC, TOC/COD/$BOD_5$ water quality factors, respectively.

The effect of coated polyester (PET) textiles with metal oxide, chitosan, and copper ion on the antibacterial and antiviral activities was evaluated to investigate the applicability of multi-coated PET textiles as antiviral materials. Compared to coated PETs with a single agent, multi-coated PETs reduced the loading amount of coating materials as well as the contact time with bacteria for a bacterial cell number of < 10 CFU/mL, which was not detectable with the naked eyes. Metal oxides generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as free radicals by a catalytic reaction, and copper ions can promote contact killing by the generation of ROS. Chitosan not only enhanced antibacterial activities due to amine groups, but enabled it to be a template to load copper ions. We observed that multi-coated PET textiles have both antibacterial activities for E. coli and S. aureus and antiviral efficiency of more than 99.9% for influenza A (H1N1) and SARS-CoV-2. The multi-coated PET textiles could also be prepared via a roll-to-roll coating process, which showed high antiviral efficacy, demonstrating its potential use in air filtration and antiviral products such as masks and personal protective equipment.

Since 1990s, some events - detection of a dirty bomb in a Russian nation park in 1995, 9/11 terrorist attack to WTC in 2001, discovery of Al-Qaeda's experimentation to build a dirty bomb in 2003 etc - have showed that nuclear or radiological terrorism relating to radioactive materials (hereinafter "radioactive materials" is referred to as "nuclear material, nuclear spent fuel and radioactive source") is not incredible but serious and credible threat. Thus, to respond to the new threat, the international community has not only strengthened security and physical protection of radioactive materials but also established prevention of and response to illicit trafficking of radioactive materials. In this regard, our government has enacted or revised the national regulatory framework with a view to improving security of radioactive materials and joined the international convention or agreement to meet this international trend. For the purpose of prevention of nuclear/radiological terrorism, this paper reviews physical characteristics of nuclear material and existing detection instruments used for prevention of illicit trafficking. Finally, national detection regime against nuclear/radiological terrorism based on paths of the smuggled radioactive materials to terrorist's target building/area, national topography and road networks, and defence-in-depth concept is suggested in this paper. This study should contribute to protect people's health, safety and environment from nuclear/radiological terrorism.

This study was carried out to empirically analyze the hypothesis that the impact of the welfare status on the welfare attitudes is moderated by each individual's level of confidence in government. To do this, this study focused on the welfare status known as the significant predictors of welfare attitudes and measured the welfare status as a gap between 'welfare contribute' and 'welfare benefit' in a single dimension, which is defined as 'material sacrifice'. Also, this study examined the main effect of material sacrifice and trust in government on the welfare attitudes and moderating effect of trust in government on relationship between material sacrifice and welfare attitudes. This study was performed with secondary data from 8th year of "2013 Korea Welfare Panel Study". Hypothesis of this study were verified using hierarchical multiple regression analysis. The major findings of this study are summarized as follow. 'Material sacrifice' was found to be negatively associated with the welfare attitudes. However, as the confidence in which social policies will be carried out competently by government increases, it was confirmed that the negative effect of material sacrifice on the welfare attitudes was moderated. It suggests that self-material interests associated with welfare could be moderated by beliefs and expectations about the government's functions, which means that expanding the reliance on the social policy is an important task in order to lead a social consensus for the welfare expansion.

This study numerically examined the mixing characteristics of rectangular cavity flows by using the hybrid lattice Boltzmann method (HLBM) applied to the finite difference method (FDM). Multi-relaxation time was used along with a passive scalar method which assumes that two substances have the same mass and that there is no interaction. First, we studied numerical results such as the stream function, position of vortices, and velocity profile for a square cavity and rectangular cavity with an aspect ratio of 2. The data were compared with previous numerical results that have been proven to be reliable. We also studied the mixing characteristics of a rectangular cavity flow such as the concentration profile and average Sherwood number at various Pe numbers and aspect ratios.

최근 고출력 펄스 스퍼터링, HPPMS (high power pulsed magnetron sputtering)을 개선한 기술이 개발되고 있다. High power impulse magnetron sputtering (HIPIMS)이라고도 불려지는 이 기술은 Kouznetsov1) 에 의해 개발되었으며, 짧은 주기 동안 높은 peak power 밀도를 얻을 수 있기 때문에, 스퍼터링시 높은 이온화율을 만들 수 있다. 스퍼터 된 종들의 높은 이온화는 다양한 분야에서 기존 코팅 물질의 특성 개선 및 self-assisted 이온 증착 공정을 통해 우수한 박막을 제조하는데 기여되고 있다. 그러나 HIPIMS는 순간 전력 밀도가 MW수준으로 높아서 고융점, 고열전도도의 물질에만 적용할 수 있다는 단점을 가지고 있다). 최근에 HIPIMS를 대체하기 위해 modulated pulse POWER (MPP)가 개발되었다. 이것은 스퍼터 된 종들의 이온화율을 높일 수 있음과 동시에 여러 가지 물질에 적용할 수 있다고 보고하고 있다. MPP와 HIPIMS와의 차이점은 HIPIMS는 간단한 하나의 초고출력 펄스를 이용하는 반면에, MPP는 펄스 길이 3 ms 안에서 다양하게 조절이 가능하며, 한 전체 펄스 주기 안에서 다중 세트 펄스와 micro 펄스를 자유롭게 조합하여 인가할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 본 실험에서는 In2O3 : SnO2의 조성비 10:1 wt% target을 사용하였으며, Ar:O2의 유량비는 10:1의 비율로, 기판의 온도를 올려 주지 않는 상태에서 실험을 하였다. Ar 유량을 40 sccm으로 고정시킨 후 O2의 유량을 2~6 sccm에 대하여 비교를 하였다. 박막의 두께를 100 nm로 이하로 하였을 때 비저항은 $7.6{\times}10-4{\Omega}cm$의 값을, 80% 이상의 투과도와 10 cm2/Vs 이상의 mobility를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 박막 두께 150 nm로 고정, substrate moving에 따른 ITO 박막의 차이를 알아보았다. 비저항의 값은 $5.6{\times}10-4{\Omega}cm$의 값을, 80% 이상의 투과도와 15 cm2/Vs의 값을 얻었다.

The Ministry of Environment simultaneously revised testing methods and emission standards of adhesives product on the "Law of indoor air quality management" for the effective management of the building materials releasing pollutants in great quantities. Accordingly, it is impossible to compare original standards with revised standards directly. The influences of each factor of the revised testing methods of adhesive product on the emission rate of pollutants are reviewed through comparing with the original testing method. Through this study, revised pollutant emission control standards were assessed. With the result that it is found that emission rate of adhesives product is weakened two and half times by changing test period and the emission rate resulting from changing drying time has little difference. As a result of comparing TVOC emission standards with the original testing method considering the modification of testing methods, it is found that the emission standard through this revision is strengthened about 2.1 times more than that of present testing method.

The heat of combustion of polymer materials is an important fire characteristics, which can be used with other fire parameter to predict the potential fire hazard in the polymer handling process. The aim of this study is to predict the heat of combustion for polymers which used in the building interior materials. By using the literature data and multiple regression, the new equation for predicting the heat of combustion of polymers is proposed. The A.A.p.E.(average absolute percent error) and the A.A.D.(average absolute deviation) of the reported and the calculated heat of combustion by means of the oxygen consumption calorimeter and the stoichiometric coefficient were 4.46 and 1.09, and the correlation coefficient was 0.972. The values calculated by the proposed equations were in good agreement with the literature data. Therefore, it is expected that this proposed equations will support the use of the research for other polymer materials.
