In this study, the effect on the economy-energy-environment gap among regions of reducing GHGs is analyzed under various scenarios, using a multiregional dynamic CGE model. Regions in Korea are classified as six metropolitan areas. Scenarios are set in three cases such as self-regulatory measures, carbon tax and emissions trading scheme. The reduction target under each scenario is again classified according to volume basis and intensity basis. In results, self-regulation is shown to deepen the economic divide mostly, followed by a carbon tax, emissions trading scheme in order. This result could be interpreted such that a system based on market incentives gives less effect on the gap among regions. However, market incentives based system is expected to take time to build. Thus in implementing policies to increase short-term effects of the reduction targets, complementary policies are needed to reduce the regional devide.

소수성의 특성을 가지는^g , pp (polypropylene)의 표면을 이온 보조 반응법(IAR)으로 처리하여 친수성으로 개질하였다. 이온빔 보조 반응법은 고에너지 이온빔을 이용한 기존의 표면처리 방식과는 달리 1keV 영역의 에너지를 가진 이온빔을 조사하면서 시료 주위에 반응성 가스를 불어넣어 줌으로써 표면의 성질을 변화시키는 방법이다. 여기서 조사된 수소이온의 에너지는 0.6에서 1.0keV까지 변화시키고 시료의 주변에 불어주는 산소의 양은 0에서 8ml/min으로 변화시켰으며 이온 조사량은 5x1014에서 1x1017ions/$\textrm{cm}^2$까지 변화시켰다. 그 결과 처리하지 않은 시료의 접촉각은 93$^{\circ}$이었으며 이온조사량이 1x1017ions/$\textrm{cm}^2$이고 가속에너지가 1.0keV인 조건에서 수소 이온빔만으로 처리한 시편의 경우 접촉각은 60$^{\circ}$정도 였으나 수소이온보조 반응법으로 처리한 시편의 경우는 $10^{\circ}$이하까지 접촉각이 감소하였음을 알 수 있었다. 이는 표면처리에 따른 표면의 친수성 작용기의 형성을 예상할 수 있으며 그 존잴르 확인하기 위하여 대기중과 물속에서 각각 보관한 시료의 접촉각과 표면에너지를 계산하여보았다. 그 결과 대기중에서 방치한 시편의 경우40$^{\circ}$ 정도로 감소하였으나 증류수에 보관한 시료의 경우는 15$^{\circ}$정도의 변화를 보였다. 물과 Formamide의 접촉각의 측정으로 표면에너지를 계산한 결과 산소분위기에서 수소이온빔으로 처리된 시료는 23dyne/cm에서 64dyne/cm이상까지 변화함을 관찰하였다. 위의 결과들이 표면거칠기에 미치는 영향을 고찰하기 위해 처리되지 않은^g , pp 의 근(root mean square)값은 8.30nm이었고 1kevdpsj지에서 불어준 산소4ml/min이고 이온 조사량이 1x1017ions/$\textrm{cm}^2$인 경우 접촉각은 $10^{\circ}$를 나타냈으며 rms값은 20.8nm를 나타내었다. XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) 분석을 통하여 1x1017ions/$\textrm{cm}^2$에서 산소기체를 4ml/min 불어넣어준 후 C-O, C=O, (C=O)-O등의 친수성 작용기가 형성되었음을 확인하였다.^g , pp 의 접착력을 알아보기 위해 유성 페인트를 전도성 고분자위에 후막 처리하였다. 스카치 테이프를 테스트를 통하여 이온 보조 반응법으로 처리된^g , pp 표면이 처리하지 않은 시편에 비하여 접착력 향상되었음을 확인하였다.

We report our experience with a case of performing laparoscopy-assisted total gastrectomy along with pancreas-preserving splenectomy for treating early gastric cancer. laparoscopy-assisted total gastrectomy was planned for a 62-year-old male patient with a double early gastric cancer located in the upper and lower third of the stomach. Five trocars were placed and we used a harmonic scalpel to dissect the greater curvature. Enlarged splenic hilar lymph node was encountered and they were proved to be metastasis by frozen section biopsy. We then performed total gastrectomy with pancreas-preserving splenectomy for the purpose of completely dissecting the lymph nodes along the splenic artery and splenic hilum. We created a 4 cm sized longitudinal mini-laparotomy below the xiphoid process to remove the specimen, and anastomosis was done via the Roux-en-Y method. The patient was discharged on the 9th postoperative days after an uneventful recovery. Our experience shows that laparoscopy-assisted total gastrectomy with pancreas-preserving splenectomy is a relatively safe procedure for treating upper third early gastric cancer with metastatic splenic hilar lymph nodes.

The landfill gas produced in landfill is generally made up of methane(CH4) and carbon dioxide(CO2) of more than 90%, with the remainder made up of hydrogen sulfide(H2S). However, separate pre-treatment facilities are essential as hydrogen sulfide contained in landfill gas is combined with oxygen during the combustion process to generate sulfur oxides and acid rain combined with moisture in the atmosphere. Various desulfurization technologies have been used in Korea to desulfurize landfill gas. Although general desulfurization processes apply various physical and chemical methods, such as treatment of sediment generation according to the CaCO3 generation reaction and treatment through adsorbent, there is a problem of secondary wastes such as wastewater. As a way to solve this problem, a biological treatment process is used to generate and treat it with sludge-type sulfide (S°) using a biological treatment process.In this study, as a basic study of technology for utilizing the biological treatment by-products of hydrogen sulfide in landfill gas, an experiment was conducted to use the by-product as a mixture of concrete. According to the analysis of the mixture concrete strength of sulfur products, the mixture of sulfur by-products affects the strength of concrete and shows the highest strength value when mixing 10%.

Spray characteristics of the APU gas turbine engine were investigated. In order to understand blow out phenomena of the APU engine, we performed fuel spray test. In the test, four operating conditions such as sea level idle, sea level max power, 20,000 feet idle, 20,000 feet max power were used as spray experimental conditions. PDPA(phase Doppler Particle Analyzer) was used for measuring the particle diameter and velocity. Also spray visualization was performed by using ND-YAG sheet laser beam. From the test result, in the case of 20,000 feet idle condition, SMD is about 100 ${\mu}m$ and maximum particle velocity is about 10 m/s. For the flame stability, spray quality should be improved at 20,000 feet idle condition.

최근 EV(Electric Vehicle), PHEV(Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle), HEV(Hybrid Electric Vehicle) 등 친환경 차량의 개발 및 출시가 진행되고 있고 이들 친환경 차량의 궁극적 목적은 엔진과 배터리 혹은 배터리 단독 사용에 의한 고연비, 배기가스 배출 저감 등을 목적으로 하고 있다. 하지만 기존 내연기관 차량과 비교시 차량가격이 높게 형성되어 시장 활성화는 다소 시간이 소요될 것으로 판단된다. 이러한 친환경 차량 기술은 신차에만 국한되어 적용되고 있고 현재 도로상에서 운행중인 대부분의 차량은 기존의 저연비, 다량의 배기가스 배출문제를 여전히 내포하고 있는 실정이다. 이에 대한 대안으로 기존의 차량 보조배터리에 지능형 배터리 센서(IBS, Intelligent Battery Sensor)를 장착하고 이를 통해 ISG(Idle Stop&Go)을 수행하는 Mild HEV 형태의 차량이 개발되고 있다.

Purpose: Many recent studies have reported on the feasibility and usefulness of laparoscopy assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG) for treating early gastric cancer. On the other hand, there has been few reports about laparoscopy assisted total gastrectomy (LATG) because upper located gastric cancer is relatively rare and the surgical technique is more difficult than that for LADG, We now present our procedure and results of performing LATG for the gastric cancer located in the upper or middle portion of the stomach. Materials and Methods: From Jan 2005 to Sep 2007, 96 patients underwent LATG by four surgeons at the Asan Medical Center, Seoul, Korea. Among them, 48 consecutive patients who were operated on by asingle surgeon were analyzed with respect to the clinicopathological features, the surgical results and the postoperative courses with using the prospectively collected laparoscopy surgery data. Results: There was no conversion to open surgery during LATG. For all the reconstructions, Roux-en Y esophago-jejunostomy and D1+beta lymphadenectomy were the standard procedures. The mean operation time was $212{\pm}67$ minutes. The mean total number of retrieved lymph nodes was $28.9{\pm}10.54$ (range: $12{\sim}64$) and all the patients had a clear proximal resection margin in their final pathologic reports. The mean time to passing gas, first oral feeding and discharge from the hospital was 2.98, 3.67 and 7.08 days, respectively. There were 5 surgical complications and 2 non-surgical complications for 5 (10.4%) patients, and there was no mortality. None of the patients needed operation because of complications and they recovered with conservative treatments. The mean operation time remained constant after 20 cases and so a learning curve was present. The morbidity rate was not different between the two periods, but the postoperative course was significantly better after the learning curve. Analysis of the factors contributing to the postoperative morbidity, with using logistic regression analysis, showed that the 8MI is the only contributing factor forpostoperative complications (P=0.029, HR=2.513, 95% CI=1.097-5.755). Conclusions: LATG with regional lymph node dissection for upper and middle early gastric cancer is considered to be a safe, feasible method that showed an excellent postoperative course and acceptable morbidity. BMI should be considered in the patient selection at the beginning period because of the impact of the BMI on the postoperative morbidity.

Animal Welfare is spreading throughout the world, but remains weak in Korean swine farms. Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify the effect of floor type and hanging type environmental enrichment on the behavior of growing pigs under the traditional feeding environment. A total of 45 crossbred pigs (Yorkshire${\times}$Landrace${\times}$Duroc; average weight, $33.35{\pm}5.5kg$) were assigned into three treatments consisting of control, hanging type(T1) and floor type(T2) with three replicates in semi-slurry pen. The hanging enrichment was suspended at shoulder height of the pigs, and the floor enrichment was fixed in the center of the pens. Growth and cortisol were estimated at the end of the experimental period. Behaviour patterns were analyzed on the first and eighth days after starting the experiment. Growth was not differed among control and treatments. However, cortisol was decreased in T2 compared to control(25.28 vs. 46.75 ng/mL; p<0.05). On the first day, movement and aggression were lower in both treatments than in control(p<0.01). On the eighth day, time and frequency of playing action were increased in T2 compared to T1(p<0.01) and both treatment groups showed more active behaviour than control(p<0.01). These results suggested that the enrichment may meet the natural action requirement of pigs. Therefore, our data can be utilized as basic information for welfare with environmental enrichments in farm animals.

A fuel spiking test was performed to measure the surge margin of the compressor in a gas turbine engine. During the test, fuel spiking signal is superposed on the engine controller demand signals and the combined signals are used to control a fuel control valve. For the superposition, a subsystem composed of a fuel controller and a function generator is used. The real engine test was performed at the Altitude Engine Test Facility (AETF) in Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI). In the preliminary test, the fuel spiking signals are in good agreement with the dynamic pressure at the fuel line and at the compressor discharge point. After the preliminary test, a fuel spiking test to measure the surge point at a specific engine speed was performed. The test results show that the fuel spiking test is very effective in the measurement of surge.

This research is to identify how much toxic combustion gases are produced from Korea standardized real fire test (Class A&B) by using Room Corner Tester (RCT) and how much those gases are possibly dangerous to testing personnel by estimating the level of carboxyhemoglobin (% COHb). It is confirmed that testing personnel can be affected as more than 40% COHb from Class A 9th and 10th rating in respiration minute volume (RMV) 2 and from Class A 5th to Class A 10th rating in RMV 3 during the time for initial three minutes. Also, in the case of Class B real fire tests, although it is considered rather safe for the initial 1 minute, testing personnel can be affected as more than 20% COHb from Class B 16th to 20th rating in RMV 3 during total test time. Currently, the Korea standard is only focusing on the protection measures against the heat, but the it is neglecting the protection measures against toxic combustion gases. Therefore, according to this study, it is strongly recommended that testing personnel should wear a self-contained breathing apparatus, or the equivalence depending on the real fire test rating.
