Plasticizers are materials added to give softness and elasticity to plastics having rigid properties to give soft properties as products, and they are mainly added to high molecular materials to give flexibility to improve workability and to improve cold resistance, resistance to volatility and electrical properties. It is used for the purpose. Most plasticizers are inert liquids, similar in function to solvents but with high molecular weight and no volatility. In addition, when dissolved in petrochemical products, only the plasticizer is separated by the matrix effect with other compounds, and qualitative and quantitative analysis. In this study, qualitative and quantitative analysis of DOA and DOP, which are representative components of petrochemical products, were conducted using MD-GC/MS and developed an optimal plasticizer analysis method.

Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), two-dimensional atomic layered materials with direct bandgap in the range of 1.1-2.1 eV, have attracted a lot of research interest due to their high response to light and capability to build new types of artificial heterostructures. However, the large-area synthesis of high-quality and uniform TMDC films with vertical-stacked heterostructure still remains challenge. In this study, we have developed a metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) system for TMDCs and conducted a systematic study on the growth of single-layer TMDCs and their heterostructures. In particular, using a bubbler-type organometallic compound sources, the concentration and flow rate of each source can be precisely controlled to obtain uniformly single-layered MoS2 and WS2 films over the centimeter scale. In addition, the MoS2/WS2 vertical heterostructure was achieved by growing WS2 film directly on the MoS2 film, as confirmed by electron microscopy, UV-visible spectrophotometer, Raman spectroscopy, and photoluminescence spectroscopy.

In platoon driving, several autonomous vehicles communicate to exchange information with each other and drive in a single cluster. The platooning technology has various advantages such as increasing road traffic, reducing energy consumption and pollutant emission by driving in short distance between vehicles. However, the short distance makes it more difficult to cope with an emergency accident, and accordingly, it is difficult to ensure the safety of platoon driving, which must be secured. In particular, the unexpected situation, i.e., variability that may appear during driving can adversely affect the safety of platoon driving. Because such variability is difficult to predict and reproduce, preparing safety guards to prevent risks arising from variability is a challenging work. In this paper, we studied a simulation method to avoid the risk due to the variability that may occur while platoon driving. In order to simulate safe platoon driving, we develop diverse scenarios considering the variability, design and apply safety guards to handle the variability, and extends the detail functions of VENTOS, an open source platooning simulator. Based on the simulation results, we have confirmed that the risks caused form the variability can be removed, and safe platoon driving is possible. We believe that our simulation approach will contribute to research and development to ensure safety in platoon driving.

The purpose of this study was to analyze experiments for the rules of material change unit in 9th grade science textbooks and develop experiments applying small-scale chemistry (SSC). For this study, experimental methods for the precipitation experiment, water electrolysis experiment, decomposition of hydrogen peroxide experiment presented in the 9 science textbooks were analyzed. Problems and improvements that were needed were extracted by 13 science teachers performing the experiments. Experiments applying SSC were developed based on the improvements needed. Afterwards, 19 pre-service science teachers performed both the developed SSC experiments and the science textbooks' experiments. A questionnaire about merits and demerits of the experiments applying SSC was performed. According to the results of this study, most of the 9th grade science textbooks included the lead iodide precipitation experiment, water electrolysis experiment by Hoffman voltameter, and decomposition of hydrogen peroxide experiment using catalytic manganese dioxide. Improvements were needed on the quantity of reagents, time for performing experiments, and scale of experimental apparatus. Merits of the developed experiments applying SSC which used small amount of reagents were safety, easy waste material disposal, short reaction time, and reproducible experimental results. Demerits of the experiments applying SSC were difficulty in observing, decreased achievement, and lack of skill in handling small-scale apparatus. Therefore, if the experiments developed applying SSC were to be utilized in 9th grade science experiments, it will be possible to use less reagent and be able to teach and carry out reproducible experiments at the same time. Also, the reproducible experiments based on SSC will help students under stand the scientific concepts for the rules of material change unit.

In this study, a polymer/graphene hybrid composite was prepared by a simple roll-method and a simple sensor was produced by a convenient surface engineering procedure. The sensor performance was examined and the effect of graphene content on the sensing behavior was monitored. A polymer (polydimethylsiloxane, PDMS) paste containing graphene powder was prepared by a three-roll apparatus and polymer/graphene hybrid composite was produced by a two-roll technique. The sensing medium, cyclodextrin (CD) was introduced by a convenient bio-conjugation method. The efficacy of surface modification was confirmed by FT-IR spectroscopy and the ohmic relation was observed on composite surfaces. An analyte (e.g., methyl paraben, MePRB) at a 10 nM concnetration could be detected. When the graphene loading was low, the sensor performance was relatively poor. This was attributed to the absence of graphene alignments, which were observed for the composites having a high graphene loading. This indicates that the sensor performance was influenced by physical alignments of the filler. This article can provide important information for future research on developing sensing devices.

In the conventional recirculation fish farms, there is a lot of difficulties due to lack of professional manpower and high reliance on imported measurement equipment. In this paper, we implement an automatic water quality measurement system which can measure the pollution degree in a water tank of fish farms using an optical sensor(pH, DO) with the IoT technology. The problem with existing systems is that the fish tank should be checked by means of human, or put the measuring equipment into the water tank of fish farms and measurement directly. But, it has a bad influence on the growth of fish. In this paper, we propose a method of indirect measurement without immersing the measurement equipment in a water tank of fish farm and develop a sustainable measurement system in an environment containing salt and lots of pollutants without affecting the growth of fish within the water tank of fish farms.

분석 방법의 간편함과 용이함의 장점은 물론, 시료 전처리 과정이 적어 시료물질의 임의 파괴나 훼손을 방지한다는 이유에서 최근 10년 간 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있는 대기압 질량분석 기술은 기압차이가 없는 대기압 분위기에서 질량분석이 이루어지기 때문에 시료를 질량분석기 입구 바로 앞에 스테이지를 설치하고서 시료를 이온화하는 경우가 대부분이다. 이 때문에 균질하지 않은 시료의 관심 영역을 모니터링하면서 질량분석을 하기에는 어려움이 있으며, 공간 정보를 추가한 질량분석 이미징에 한계가 있었다. 이에 본 연구팀은 질량분석기 입구에 챔버와 보조 펌프를 장착하여 강제로 기체 흐름 일으켜 시료로부터 발생한 이온을 질량분석기 입구로 유도하여, 원거리에서 시료를 이온화해도 질량분석기 입구까지 이온을 성공적으로 전달시키는 방법을 제안한다. 이를 이용하면 분석하고자 하는 시료를 현미경 스테이지 위에 위치시켜 분석하고자하는 부분을 현미경으로 확인하면서 질량분석을 할 수 있으며, 나아가 대기압 질량 분석 이미징 기술을 구현할 수 있다. 대기압 탈착/이온화원은시료에 열적 손상이 없는 조건으로 시편의 이온화 및 탈착 과정이 이루어지게 하기 위해 저온 대기압 헬륨 플라즈마 젯과 펨토초 레이저를 결합하여 대기압 이온화원을 제작하였다. 이온 전달관은 1/4" (6.35 mm) 외경의 60 cm 길이의 스테인리스 스틸관을 사용하여 질량분석기에서 약 60 cm 떨어진 현미경 위의 시료의 질량분석이 가능하게 했다. 보조 펌프의 계기압과 저온 대기압 헬륨 플라즈마 젯의 헬륨 기체의 유속을 변화시키면서 시료인 PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) 의 질량 스펙트럼 (m/z 270.314) 세기를 관찰하여 최적의 이온 전달 조건을 찾았다. 추가로 현미경 스테이지에 정밀 2-D 자동 스캐닝 스테이지를 장착하여 질량분석 정보에 공간 정보를 더할 수 있는 질량분석 이미징 기술 방법을 개발하여 생체 시편의 질량분석 이미징을 얻었다.

제천, 충주, 단양의 3 개 지자체에 걸쳐 있는 충주호는 매년 여름철 집중호우시 부유쓰레기가 $3,000\~45,000\;m^3$ 의 범위에서 반복하여 발생하고 있으며 이들 대부분은 제천시 관내에서 수거되고 있다. 현재 부유쓰레기의 수거 및 육상 집하는 수자원공사가 담당하고 있으며 제천시는 이를 폐기물 매립장으로 운반하여 매립하고 있다. 이러한 부유쓰레기는 무게로는 그리 많지 않으나 부피가 매우 커 운반시 수거 차량의 운행대수가 많아지고 매립지 용량을 크게 소모하는 등 쓰레기 처리과정상의 문제점을 발생시키고 있으며 특히 부유쓰레기의 발생은 1 회성이 아니라 매년 장마와 홍수가 발생하면 되풀이되는 현상으로, 수자원 확보 및 홍수조절을 위해 설치된 댐에 의해 집중호우시 발생된 부유쓰레기가 댐 수위가 낮아짐에 따라 댐 주변부에 잔류하게 되어 수자원 및 수질 관리에 큰 어려움을 발생시키고 있다. 이러한 부유쓰레기는 댐 상류지역에 방치된 쓰레기들이 강우시 지표류와 함께 떠내려 온 것들로서 발생원인의 완전 제거는 불가능한 실정이므로 발생된 부유쓰레기를 최대한 신속히 수거하고 수거된 쓰레기는 소각이나 톱밥 생산 등의 물질자원화 방법으로 매립 양을 최소화 할 필요가 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 충주댐에서 매년 집중호수시 발생하는 부유쓰레기의 발생 및 수거, 처리실태를 조사하며 또한 제천관내에 부유 쓰레기의 집중되는 원인을 분석하고 이로부터 적절한 부유쓰레기 관리대책을 수립하고자 하였다. 충주댐 부유물 발생 현황 조사 및 처리대책에 관한 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 부유쓰레기 발생량은 태풍의 발생에 따라 급격히 증가하여 년간 $12,587m^3\~45,356m^3$ 이 발생하고 있었다. 댐 및 하천 흐름 해석을 위해 2 차원 동수역학 모델인 RMA2 모형을 이용하여 충주댐에서의 물의 흐름을 해석한 결과 옥순대교$\~$청풍대교 구간 사이에 댐 및 지형적 영향으로 인해 잘 발달된 와류가 하도 전체를 통하여 발생되고 있었고 이는 댐 부유물 정체현상이 나타나는 지점과 잘 일치하고 있었다.

The NaCl contents of food waste composts made by various techniques known up to now were under the level of 1% by fresh weight basis. But these techniques has some problem that is environment pollution from treated water and high equipment cost. The application to agricultural land of food waste compost that is not sufficiently removed NaCl was considered to be improper due to salt accumulation in soils and plant growth inhibition by salt stress. The purpose of this study is to decompose NaCl in food waste compost using triple salt and this method is differ from existing chemical method. Also, reaction of NaCl with triple salt produced KCl that is basic material of potassium fertilizer. Moreover Also, there was temperature rise of average $5^{\circ}C$ as result that apply triple salt in food waste 600 ton in food wast composting productive capacity. Obvious odious smell reduction effect appeared pretreatment process and fermentation process with temperature rise and this is because triple salt activation of aerobe and removes odious smell cause material by salt content decrease effectively.

Currently, there are many programs which are now being developed or already developed to predict radionuclide and corrosion product at the stage of designing NPP. However, since there are not many developments in evaluating quantity of activation corrosion products occurring when disassembling a nuclear power plant there exist some difficulties in calculating accurately. In order to evaluate activation products inventory for the research of effect of neutron activation in the reactor vessel, component of nuclear reactor and adjacent structures, it should be evaluated by using operation history of nuclear reactor, material composition of structure and average neutron flux in every field representing fixed structure of nuclear reactor. In this study, CORA, PACTOLE, CRUDSIM, CREAT and ACE codes are analyzed to predict the quantity of radionuclide and corrosion product of primary reactor which is used at the stage of designing. As a future study, the accuracy in calculating the quantity of product corrosion can be increase by finding out the possibility of use and improvement for evaluation of the decontamination.
