본 연구는 주류 제조과정에서 발생하는 생전분발효 부산물을 펠릿(pellet)연료로 전환하는 과정에서 효율적인 방법에 대해 기술한다. 술을 정제하는 과정에서 발생하는 주박을 펠릿화하고 재생청정에너지인 폐자원의 효율성을 높이기 위한 방법을 제안한다. 술을 정제하고 남은 지게미를 주박(酒粕, 술지게미)이라 하고 흔히 부드러운 것을 단단하게 뭉친 알갱이를 펠릿이라 한다. 현재 펠릿화는 폐목재를 분쇄후 성형, 가공하여 목재펠릿을 만들어 상용화하고 있다. 목재펠릿은 성형, 가공하는데 비용이 주박보다 많이 들고 열량도 더 낮음을 확인하였다. 목재소에서 나온 나무(톱밥)와 주박을 열량측정기를 이용하여 측정한 결과로 나무는 약 1850 Kcal이고 주박은 약 1989 Kcal가 측정되었다. 나무는 일반 목재소 세 곳에서 채취한 것이고 주박은 막걸리, 약주 및 청주의 술지게미를 실험에 사용한다. 주류업체에서도 술을 정제하고 남은 주박을 처리하는데 많은 곤란과 비용이 든다. 또한 주박을 해양에 투척하여 처리해 왔으나 2012년부터 해양투기가 금지되어 더욱 처리에 곤란을 겪게 된다. 최근 주박을 토양개량제(비료)로 개발하여 사용하기도 하나 본 연구에서 제안하는 장점은 농산물을 재배해서 주류제조시 발생되는 주박을 펠릿화하여 연료로 사용하고 남은 재를 토양개량제로 사용하는 장점이 있다. 제품의 전체 라이프 사이클을 통해 환경으로 방출되는 모든 것을 가능한 한 0(zero)으로 하는 활동인 제로-이미션(zero-emision)이 된다. 이는 단순히 배출량만을 줄이는 것이 아니라 폐기물을 유용한 자원으로 활용한다는 측면이 가장 큰 이점이 된다. 주박의 효율성을 높이기 위해 주박을 종류별로 주박과 목재를 섞는 방법으로 열량을 측정하였다. 먼저 열량이 높은 순서로 막걸리 주박과 약주 주박의 비율을 1:1, 1:0.5, 1:0.2, 두 번째 막걸리 주박과 청주 주박의 비율을 1:1, 1:0.5, 1:0.2, 세 번째 막걸리 주박과 나무 톱밥의 비율을 1:1, 1:0.5, 1:0.2로 섞어서 열량을 측정하였다. 열량이 높은 순서는 세 번째(2015Kcal), 두 번째(1995Kcal), 첫 번째(1868Kcal)의 순이었다. 가장 열량이 높은 막걸리 주박과 나무 톱밥을 섞은 것이 가장 효율성이 높다. 주박 펠릿의 장점은 친환경적인 소재이고 지속적으로 재생이 가능한 에너지원이다. 더욱이 주박 펠릿은 발열량이 높고 다른 바이오매스 원료에 비해 청정하다는 큰 장점을 지니고 있다. 또한 사용에 소요되는 유지 관리비용을 최소화할 수 있고 자동화가 가능하여 사용에 편리하다. 가격면에서 화석연료에 비해 안정적이고 체적 또한 작아 이송의 큰 장점을 가지고 있다. 현재 펠릿의 경우는 목재펠릿이 제품화되어 있지만 주박을 이용하여 제품의 펠릿화를 통한 연료원으로 사용하는 경우는 전 세계 전무한 상태로 폐자원을 재사용하는 효율성이 제시된다. 향후 과제로 주박을 이용한 펠릿 연료원의 기술이 개발되고 기계적인 시스템을 개발하면 저탄소 녹색성장 신재생에너지 연료의 획기적인 미래형 에너지시스템이 될 것이다.

Xylanase is a class of enzymes that hydrolyze the linear polysaccharide ${\beta}$-1,4-xylan into xylose. This enzyme is applied in the process of paper making and may be used for the process of biofuel production in the future. The Paenibacillus donghaensis JH8, isolated from Donghae deepsea sediment and reported as a novel bacterium, was known to degrade xylan and its xylanase was characterized in this study. The enzyme was maximally induced in the presence of 0.1% xylan. The production of xylanase was started at early logarithmic phase and reached about 55 miliunit at stationary phase of growth. The optimal temperature and pH of extracellular xylanase were found to be $40^{\circ}C$ and pH 6.0, respectively. The activity of xylanase was inhibited by the presence of $Ca^{2+}$, $Mn^{2+}$, $Fe^{2+}$, $Cu^{2+}$, $Al^{3+}$ or EDTA, and activated by $K^+$, $Ag^+$ or DTT. This xylanase was stable at $40^{\circ}C$ for 120 min, but lost almost their activity in 30 min at $60^{\circ}C$. Zymography analysis of concentrated culture supernatant revealed one major band at 42 kDa and two faint bands at 68 and 120 kDa.

As we move into the 21st century, the importance of marine resources is certain to increase due to the accelerated exhaustion of land resources. For the sustainable development of the world, therefore, we need to develop marine chemical bioindustries which enable us to produce industrial chemicals, advanced materials, fuels, and minerals from marine resources such as seaweeds and seawater. In this review, we selected five marine chemical bioindustries which include 1) seaweed polysaccharide industry, 2) marine advanced materials industry, 3) marine biofuel industry, 4) marine sea salt industry, and 5) deep-sea water industry, and discussed the current status and future prospects of each industry sector. It has been assessed that the future of marine chemical bioindustry looks very promising although there are many needs for more intensive research investments on marine bioprocess development through close cooperation between marine biologists and biochemical engineers.

The main industries in Chungcheongbuk-do are the smart IT parts; bio-health; and transportation machinery, materials and parts. The transportation, machinery, materials and parts (TMMP) industry is a key source technology for environmentally friendly and intelligent vehicles related to future vehicles in the machinery sector. Business support projects to improve this industry are currently underway. In this study, the number of enterprises, number of employees, amount of shipment, and added value of the enterprises in Chungbuk area were analyzed for the downstream and rear industries of the transportation, machinery, materials, and parts industry to set targets and directions for the technical support projects during the enterprise support. In particular, for the SMEs with less than 50 employees, the changes in the value added per enterprise were analyzed according to the period from the year of foundation. In the case of the rear industry, the value added by companies within three years after foundation has decreased gradually each year, so technical support is needed at the beginning of the startup. Companies between the ages of five and nine years are showing a fluctuating trend each year. Therefore, it is necessary to support business diversification or find new items.

Recently, when evaluating the technology values in the fields of biotechnology, pharmaceuticals and medicine, we have needed more to estimate those values in consideration of the period and cost for the commercialization to be put into in future. The existing discounted cash flow (DCF) method has limitations in that it can not consider consecutive investment or does not reflect the probabilistic property of commercialized input cost of technology-applied products. However, since the value of technology and investment should be considered as opportunity value and the information of decision-making for resource allocation should be taken into account, it is regarded desirable to apply the concept of real options, and in order to reflect the characteristics of business model for the target technology into the concept of volatility in terms of stock price which we usually apply to in evaluation of a firm's value, we need to consider 'the continuity of stock price (relatively minor change)' and 'positive condition'. Thus, as discussed in a lot of literature, it is necessary to investigate the relationship among volatility, underlying asset values, and cost of commercialization in the Black-Scholes model for estimating the technology value based on real options. This study is expected to provide more elaborated real options model, by mathematically deriving whether the ratio of the present value of the underlying asset to the present value of the commercialization cost, which reflects the uncertainty in the option pricing model (OPM), is divided into the "no action taken" (NAT) area under certain threshold conditions or not, and also presenting the estimation logic for option values according to the observation variables (or input values).

Block copolymers including ABA triblock architectures are useful as thermoplastic elastomers and toughened plastics depending on the relative glassy and rubbery content. These materials can be blended with other polymers and utilized as additives, toughening agents, and compatibilizers. Most of commercially available block copolymers are derived from petroleum. Renewable alternatives are attractive considering the finite supply of fossil resources on earth and the overall economic and environmental expenses involved in the recovery and use of oil. Furthermore, tomorrow's sustainable materials are demanding the design and implementation with programmed end-of-life. The present review focuses on the preparation and evaluation of new classes of renewable ABA triblock copolymers and also emphasizes on the use of carbohydrate-derived poly(lactide) or plant-based poly(olefins) having a high glass transition temperature and/or high melting temperature for the hard phase in addition to the use of bio-based amorphous hydrocarbon polymers with a low glass transition temperature for the soft components. The combination of multiple controlled polymerizations has proven to be a powerful approach. Precision-controlled synthesis of these hybrid macromolecules has led to the development of new elastomers and tough plastics offering renewability, biodegradability, and high performance.

This study estimated the amount of carbon stocks in harvested wood products (HWP) using accounting approaches suggested by 2006 IPCC guidelines and analyzed the impacts of different approaches on national greenhouse gas inventory and the forest sector in Korea. The change in carbon stocks was calculated at the level of semi-finished wood products, which cover sawnwood, wood-based panels, other industrial wood, paper and paperboard. An estimation of the changes in carbon stocks in HWP in use for the period 1970~2008 varied between -9,023 Gg $CO_2$/yr and 4,052 Gg $CO_2$/yr depending on the accounting approach used. The stock-change approach provided the most favorable results because Korea was a net importer of wood products. However, each approach generates different impacts on harvest, trade, the use of wood for energy production and recycling. When deciding its position on accounting approach, thus, the Government should consider future direction of national forest policies as well as the effect on national greenhouse gas inventory for the minimization of negative impacts resulting from its selection.

The successional status and potential natural vegetation were examined in the natural deciduous forest in Mt. Chombong area. The examination was based on the subsequent process of generation replacement by understory saplings for the dominant canopy trees within 106 20mx20m square sample plots. The transition matrix model, which was modified from mathematical theory of Markov chain, was employed to analyze the successional status of the study forest. The model suggests that study forest is still seral, and it is considered to be more than 500 years away from the steady state or climax in terms of species composition. The simulations predict a remarkable decrease in the proportion of species composition of the present dominant Quercus mongolica and Kalopanax pictus from current 42.6% and 8.1% to less than 13.3% and 0.5%, respectively, at the steady state. On the contrary, the proportions of Abies holophylla, Acer mono, Fraxinus mandshurica, Tilia amurensis, and Acer pseudo-sieboldianum will increase at the steady state. The change of predicted composition ratio was generally coincide with the result of tolerance index to be compared with the study model. The hypothesis and sensitivity of the model were also discussed to evaluate the applicability to the real situation. The overall results indicated that the present dynamics of the forest must reflect the seral state due to previous disturbance mainly by human related interference.

According to the World Agricultural Productivity Report, the current annual average growth rate of agriculture is 1.63%, which is lower than 1.73% to support the world's 10 billion people, which is growing by 2050. The demand for food, feed, and bioenergy is not growing enough to continue to meet the demand, and it is predicting a future food shortage. The purpose of this study was to create a regional irrigation control model for the purpose of reducing the production cost of crops, increasing production, and improving quality, and presenting a model that can give advice to farmers who start farming in the region. The irrigation control modeling presented in this study means to represent the change of medium weight·supply liquid·drainage amount due to changes in the root zone environment according to the passage of time and climate in a graph model. For water control modeling, we collected data on the change in the amount of the root zone environment and the weight of the badge·supply amount·drainage amount from March to June in Nonsan, Buyeo, and Yesan regions in Chungnam Province through the measuring device of the Ministry of Environment in the root region. We set up the parameters for derivation and derived an irrigation control model that can confirm the change in weight·supply liquid·drainage amount over time through the parameters.
