오늘날 급격한 인구증가 및 도시화로 인해 음식물류 폐기물 발생량이 크게 증가하였으며, 음식물류 폐기물에서 발생되는 음폐수의 적절한 처리방안에 대한 관심이 증가하였다. 혐기성 소화(Anaerobic digestion; AD)는 음폐수의 바람직한 처리방법으로 알려졌지만, 긴 처리기간 및 공정 불안정 등의 문제로 개선이 필요하며, 그 중 기존 AD에 보조 반응조를 추가한 보조 미생물전기화학적 혐기성소화(Auxiliary bioelectrochemical anaerobic digestion; ABEAD)가 적절한 개선방안으로 제시되었다. 하지만 아직 20 L 이상 용량에서의 연구는 이뤄지지 않았으며, 따라서 본 연구에서는 100 L의 용량에서 ABEAD의 성능향상을 평가하고 규모증가에 따른 성능변화를 비교하였다. 반응조는 AD와 ABEAD로 구성되었다. 유효용량 100 L, 유기물부하율 4 kg/m³/d, HRT 20 days 및 중온소화(35℃) 조건으로 운전하였으며, AD는 기계적 교반, ABEAD는 기계적 교반 및 펌프를 통한 bulk 용액 순환이 이뤄졌다. ABEAD의 전극재질은 SUS304를 사용하였고, 0.4V의 전압을 공급하였다. 성능비교는 pH, 휘발성지방산(Volatile fatty acids; VFAs), 유기물제거율 및 메탄 생성량을 비교해 수행하였다. 실험결과 AD는 pH 및 VFAs가 각각 평균 7.37 및 3,880 mg/L, ABEAD는 각각 평균 7.5 및 2,870 mg/L로 VFAs의 빠른 처리를 통해 공정안전성 향상되었고, 유기물제거율 및 메탄생성량의 경우 AD는 각각 평균 65.8 % 및 85.1 L/d, ABEAD는 각각 평균 76.1 % 및 108.1 L/d로 유기물의 빠른 처리 및 메탄전환이 이루어져 비교적 큰 규모에서도 ABEAD의 성능향상이 나타남을 확인하였다. 또한 이전 소규모 연구들과 비교를 통해 규모에 따른 성능향상폭을 비교했을 때에도 큰 차이가 나지 않는 것으로 판단되며, 따라서 ABEAD는 BEAD 기술의 상용화 및 적용에 적합한 것으로 사료된다.

The primary objective of this study was to examine the toxic effects of PCP on activated sludge and to analyze its metabolic responses while treating wastewater containing pentachlorophenol (PCP) in a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) system operating under different control strategies. This study was conducted in two phases 1 and 2 (8-hr and 12-hr cycles). Each phase was operated with two control strategies I and II. Strategy I (reactor 1) involved rapid addition (5 minutes to complete) of substrate to the reactor with continuous mixing but no aeration for 2 hours. Strategy ll (reactor 2) involved adding the feed continuously during the first 2 hours of the cycle when the system was mixed but not aerated. During both phases each reactor was operated at a sludge age of 15 days. The synthetic wastewater was used as a feed. The COD of the feed solution was about 380 mg/l. After the reference response for both reactors was established, the steady state response of each system was established for PCP feed concentrations of 0.1 mg/l, 1.0 mg/l, and 5.0 mg/l in SBR systems operating on both 8-hr and 12-hr cycles. Soluble COD removal was not inhibited at any feed PCP concentrations used. At 5.0 mg/l fined PCP concentration and in SBR systems operating on phase 2, the concentrations of MLVSS were decreased; selective pressure on the mixed biomass might be increased, narrowing the range of possible ecological responses; the settleability of activated sludge was poor; the SOURS were increased, showing that the systems were shocked. Nitrification was made to some extent at all concentrations of feed PCP in SBR systems operating on phase 2 whereas in SBR systems operating on phase 1 little nitrification was observed. Then, nitrification will be delayed as much as soluble COD removal is retarded due to PCP inhibition effects. Enhanced biological phosphorus removal occurring in the system operating with control strategy I during phase 1 of this work and in the presence of low concentrations of PCP was unreliable and might cease at anytime, whereas enhanced biological phosphorus removal occurring in the system operating with either control strategy I or II during phase 2 of this work and in the Presence of feed PCP concentrations up to 1.0 mg/l was reliable. When, however, such processes were exposed to 5.0 mg/l PCP dose, enhanced phosphorus removal ceased and never returned.

To provide more information on the enteric pathogen Campylobacter jejuni in the view of food sanitation, survival characteristics of two strains of C. jejuni in the different conditions were investigated. When $10^7{\;}or{\;}10^3{\;}per{\;}ml$ of C. jejuni cells were inoculated in the supplemented Brucella broth and kept at $42^{\circ}C,{\;}25^{\circ}C{\;}and{\;}5^{\circ}C$ under the static aerobic condition for 7 days, organisms exponentially proliferated to $a{\;}>10^8$, even in the $10^3{\;}per{\;}ml$ inoculated-sample at $42^{\circ}C{\;}for{\;}1{\sim}2{\;}days$ and the considerable level of viability maintained during 7 days. At $5^{\circ}C$, most of the initial level of organisms survived at the early period and only $a{\;}<{\;}0.5-log_{10}$ cells decrease were observed during the 7 days. At $25^{\circ}C$, a remarkable number of C. jejuni declined within $1{\sim}2{\;}days$ and showed undetectable level of cells after 4 days. When sterile milk and minced chicken meat were artifically inoculated with $10^7{\;}per{\;}ml$ of C. jejuni, mostly, a $1-to{\;}2-log_{10}$ count decrease occurred at $42^{\circ}C{\;}and{\;}5^{\circ}C$ while $a{\;}>3{\;}log_{10}$ decrease at $25^{\circ}C$ during 7 days. Unexpectedly, no colonies appeared on the plate inoculated from the minced chicken meat sample kept at $42^{\circ}C$ after 4 days. The results suggest that C. jejuni contaminated to food can survive at the refrigeration temperature whereas they are sensitive to at the room temperature. Also, it is shown that the growth of C. jejuni at the optimal temperature may vary to the food sources.

In sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) growing there are several severe problem which have to be overcome to produce highly graded fruits because of fruit rots and fruit crackings, if there is frequent precipitation during immature fruit step and picking season. In order to reduce fungicide sprayings and produce qualified fruits in areas with rainy season like as South Korea, rain-sheltered growing is necessary absolutely. Sweet cherry blooms early to medium April in southern area of South Korea. If we depend on honeybees (Apis mellifera) distributed in natural ecosystem, it is not easy to get normal fruit-set every season because of low temperature around blooming time. And also bee keepers seldom sell honeybee hives as a pollinator during spring, instead they keep honeybee hives to get honey. Recently use of B. terrestris as a pollinator of cherry tomato, oriental pumpkin etc. grown in protected cultivation system increase abundantly. Therefore, in this study we studied B. terrestris as an alternate of honeybee to pollinate sweet cherry grown in rain shelter. In part of foraging activity B. terrestris shows staying on a cherry flower for about six second and visiting frequency of 11 flowers per minute. However A. mellifera stayed about 15 second on a flower and visited 4~5 flowers per minute. There were no significant difference in fruit-setting rate and fruit characteristics after using B. terrestris and A. mellifera as pollinators of sweet cherry. Consequently there is no negative effect when we use B. terrestris as an alternate pollinator of A. mellifera in sweet cherry cultivation under rain shelter.

In this paper, the behavior of offshore wind turbine(OWT) foundation which is modeled by using existing design method and FEM is compared. When the same type of foundation is designed under the same sea and ground condition, the behavior characteristics with each model are compared. As a result, the member forces between apparent fixity and distributed spring type foundation which consider the ground stiffness are not different markedly, while fixed-base type foundation shows relatively lower member forces, which results in smaller safety margin. In other words, considering ground stiffness is reasonable because soil-pile interaction affects significantly on the analysis result. A case study with a monopile shows significant errors between p-y and FEM model at the head and tip of the pile. Also, it shows that the errors at the tip with diameter increase of the pile is larger. Thus, considering ground characteristics and engineering judgment are necessary in practice. A comparison of reliability analysis between tripod and monopile type foundation on the same condition shows larger probability of failure in monopile type and it indicates that the safety margin of monopile type can be lower.

최근의 고유가와 환경오염에 대한 대응 수단으로 수송용 바이오연료의 보급에 대한 관심이 세계적으로 높아지고 있다. 이 중 바이오디젤은 동식물성 기름으로부터 메탄올과의 전이에스테르화 반응에 의해 생산되는 경유대체 연료로서 환경 친화성과 지속가능성이 인정됨에 따라 그 생산량이 급격히 증가하고 있다. 바이오디젤의 생산량이 증가함에 따라 대두유, 유채유, 팜유 등의 원료유 가격 상승 및 수급 불안정 문제가 대두되고 있으며 식량자원과의 충돌 문제도 발생되고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위한 방안으로 유리지방산 함량이 높은 저가유지 자원(폐식용유, 폐돈지, 폐우지, soapstock, trapped grease)을 이용한 공정 개발 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 비활용되고 있는 해외 열대작물 열매씨앗에서 착유한 식물성 오일의 바이오디젤 원료유로서의 사용 가능성을 검토하였다. 열대작물 오일의 물성 분석 결과 고형물, 수분, 인, 유리지방산 함량이 대두원유보다 매우 높게 나타났다. 오일 중의 인지질은 바이오디젤 제조 반응후 에스테르와 글리세린의 층분리를 방해하여 공정 효율을 감소시키고 유리지방산은 염기촉매와 결합하여 지방산염을 생성해 생산수율을 감소시키는 문제를 일으킨다. 고형물과 수분은 여과와 감압증발에 의해 쉽게 제거가 가능하였다. 15~20%의 유리지방산 함유 열대작물 오일의 전처리를 위해 균질계 산촉매와 비균질 고체 산촉매를 이용해 에스테르화 반응 효율을 조사한 결과 황산이 가장 높은 효율을 보였다. 반응표면분석법(Response Surface Method, RSM)을 적용해 메탄올과 촉매량의 2변수 에스테르화반응 최적화를 수행한 결과 메탄올 26%, 촉매 0.98%로 최적 조건이 도출되었으며 초기 산가 33mgKOH/g에서 0.98mgKOH/g으로 감소됨을 확인하였다. 전처리 정제한 오일의 물성분석 결과 고형물 0.1%, 수분 0.10%, 산가 1.0mgKOH/g, 인함량 20ppm 이하로 바람직한 원료유가 생산됨을 알 수 있었다. 제조된 원료유를 이용해 전이에스테르화 반응 최적화 실험을 RSM에 근거하여 진행한 결과 KOH 0.8%, 메탄올:오일 몰비 6.2:1, 반응온도 $60^{\circ}C$, 교반속도 200rpm, 반응시간 30분으로 나타났으며 증류 정제전 97.3%, 증류후 100.0%의 바이오디젤을 생산 할 수 있었다. 열대작물 오일의 전처리 공정은 메탄올을 과잉양으로 사용함으로 효과적인 알콜 회수 공정이 중요하다. 전처리 후 층분리를 통해 회수되는 메탄올 중의 수분함량은 2%~7%로서 이를 전처리 반응에 재사용하기 위해서는 0.3%이하의 수분함량으로 정제가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 고가의 증류탑 형태가 아닌 단증류방식으로 2단계 내지 3단계로 0.3% 수분의 메탄올 회수 조건을 도출하였으며 파일롯 공정 설계를 진행하고 있다. 이로서 본 연구의 열대작물 오일은 저가로 충분한 물량의 확보가 가능하다면 바이오디젤 원료 자원으로서 큰 활용가치가 있는 것으로 판단된다.

In this research, problems of recent design methods and their improvement for SIP(Soil-Cement Injected precast Pile) in domestic areas were studied by using the properties of load-settlement curves and bearing capacity from field loading tests. Elastic and plastic settlement for total settlement in each loading step of loading tests conducted in domestic areas has been shown to have a tendency. From this tendency and bearing capacity determined by loading tests, it could be ascertained that empirical chart could be an assistant tool in SIP design. It was shown that SIP design using N-value in domestic area with soil condition of granitic type resulted in very conservative hearing capacity. On the other hands, in soil with unfitted geological conditions, the design could be insecure. Also, we could ascertain that Meyerhof's bearing capacity using modified N-value on the tip part of pile was more applicable than recent design method where tip bearing capacity was 20NA$_p$ N-value limited to 50. These results showed that modified design method could be more economic than those in the past because it used pile's bearing capacity unto tolerable load of pile material.

This paper proposes a structure of haptic collaboration system over high resolution tiled-display, and proposes a QoE (quality of experience) increase scheme in integrated system. Both haptic system and tiled-display system have requirements of computational power. A haptic device is unstable if haptic rendering rate is less than 1kHz, A requirement of tiled-display systeme is frame rate of display. It requires update of 30 frame fer sec. If we use these systems independently, we can satisfy each requirements. However, if we integrate two systems, performance of entire system significantly decreases because of lack of resources, and QoE of users also decrease. In this paper, therefore, we propose a QoE guaranty scheme which selectively allocates cpu resource between display update and haptic rendering. In order to increase QoE, we set a priority for visual and haptic in order to allocate more resource on visual or haptic. If a user sensitive about touch, then proposed scheme increases haptic rendering rate by allocating more resource. Otherwise a user more sensitive about visual than haptic, proposed scheme decreases haptic rendering rate and increases tiled-display update rate. Therefore, by selectively allocating limited cpu resource, proposed scheme guaranties QoE of both haptic and visual.

The DMPT produced by marine algae is the main biogenic precursor of oceanic DMS. Also, DMPT is an efficient stimulant for growth, feeding, and body movement of fish and striped prawn, and appears to play a physiologic role as an osmoprotectant in algae. This study was focused on the extraction of dimethyl-$\beta$-propiothetin as bioactive substance from green seaweed. Identification and quantification of dimethyl-$\beta$-propiothetin were measured by headspace gas chromatography after conversion to dimethyl sulfide by treatment with saturated NaOH solution. Dimethyl-$\beta$-propiothetin was extracted through various processes(solvent extraction, ultrasonication, boiling and autoclaving) from Enteromorpha intesinalis. The content of dimethyl-$\beta$-propiothetin extracted by autoclaving treatment showed higher than those of various extraction methods. Dimethyl-$\beta$-propiothetin content in extract of Enteromorpha Enteromorpha was 311,200ng/g after autoclaving at 121$^{\circ}C$ for 60min. Dimethyl-$\beta$-propiothetin in extract of Enteromorpha intestinalis was comparatively stable under low temperature. The retentions of dimethyl-$\beta$-propiothetin content in extract of Enteromorpha intestinalis were 75.8 ~99.8% by incubation at 10~6$0^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours. Chemical decomposition of dimethyl-$\beta$-propiothetin was observed under laboratory conditions at pH values higher than 9.5.

Slot coating has been widely spread in photo resist coating on glass for flat display monitor. High quality of coating is required as high quality of image in display is needed. Coating quality in the slot coating is divided into nozzle direction quality and machine direction quality. Nozzle direction quality is related to flow uniformity inside the die whereas machine direction quality is related to die lip design and operational conditions. In this study coating uniformity in the machine direction of slot coating has been investigated through computer simulation. Die lip angle and die lip length were considered as outside die geometry and coating speed was considered as operational condition. Coating behavior has been analyzed and coating quality has been evaluated through computer simulation. Coating thickness decreased and coating uniformity increased as coating speed increased. However, the stability of meniscus formation was reduced and subsequently coating stability was reduced as coating speed increased. Coating thickness deviation decreased as die lip angle increased in down stream die. Coating thickness decreased and time to reaching steady state increased as increased die lip length in down stream die.
