  • 2010년 약 19.5 GWp 의 규모로 성장한 태양광 시장의 주요 소재는 실리콘을 이용한 태양전지이며, 고성능 및 고효율 태양전지 시장이 급성장 하였다. 이러한 고품질 태양전지에 사용되는 주요 원료인 9N 급 폴리실리콘은 2008년 4월 $265/kg 까지 상승하였으나, 점차 하향안정세에 있으며, 급속한 가격 경쟁을 통해 당분간 장기공급가가 50$/kg 이하로 하락할 것으로 전망된다. 이러한 실리콘 제조기술 중 가장 많이 사용되는 기술은 Trichloro-silane (TCS) 또는 Mono-silane (MS)를 사용하는 기상법인 일명 Siemens 공정이다. 이러한 기상법의 경우 12N 이상의 초고품질 실리콘 제조가 가능하나, 대규모의 설비투자(1억원/폴리실리콘 1톤)와 높은 에너지(120 kWh/kg)가 요구된다. 이에 최근 기상법이 아닌 야금학적인 정련법에 대한 기술이 개발되고 있으며, 이는 금속 실리콘을 슬래그 처리, 편석 분리, 응고 급랭, 전자빔, 플라즈마 등을 이용하여 정련하는 공정을 말한다. 야금학적 정련법은 순도 면에서 기상법에 비하여 낮은 단점이 있음에도 불구하고, 여러 장점들로 인해 활발히 연구되며 점차 실용화 되고 있는 매우 유용한 기술이다. 야금학적 정련법의 주요 장점은 기상법에 비해 약 25% 정도의 설비 투자비로 가능하고, 금속 실리콘을 직접 사용하며, 에너지 payback이 짧다. 또한, 산 및 염화실렌을 사용하지 않으므로 환경 문제를 적게 야기하고, 생산설비의 확장성도 매우 높다. 본 연구에서는 국내 규석광을 이용하여 일련의 정련 공정을 거쳐 고순도SG(Solar Grade)급 실리콘을 제조하고자 하였다. 실리콘 용융 환원로를 개발하고 순도를 높이기 위해 슬래그정련법을 이용하였으며, 생산된 3N 급의 금속 실리콘을 비기상법정련 방식인 일방향 응고와 플라즈마 정련 및 전자기유도 용해법을 이용하여 고순도의 실리콘을 제조하였다. 본 연구에서는 상업생산을 개시한 외국의 E사와 비교하여 산침출공정을 거치지 않으므로 실리콘회수율 및 환경부하 절감의 장점을 갖고 있으며 최종 순도 실리콘 6N 이상, 보론 함유량 0.2 ppm 이하를 달성하였으며, 기존 기상법 대비 약 20%의 전력 감소와 약 13%의 금속실리콘 원료 절감 효과가 있었다. 저가/고순도 SG급실리콘의 제조기술 개발은 향후 세계 태양광 시장에 대한 경쟁력을 확보하고, 시장 점유율 상승에 기여할 수 있으며, 산업 확대를 통한 주변 산업으로의 파급 효과가 매우 클 것으로 예상된다.

  • This Study was Conducted in 3 glasshouse to examine the Possibility for cultivation of plug seedlings using four growing media containing recycled PET-bottle-particles (PBT) as a medium component. Plug seedlings of 'Seokwang' tomato were grown in media containing $100\%$ PBT, $100\%$ peatmoss, or $50\%$ $PBT+50\%$ peatmoss. A commercial plug medium (Tosilee) was used as the control. All seeds were sown in 128 cell plug trays on July 12, 2004. Seedling growth was measured at 30 days after sowing. Percent seed germination was greater than 95% in all treatments. Plant height, shoot fresh and dry weights, leaf area, and hypocotyl length were the greatest in the control treatment. Root length and weight were the greatest in the $100\%$ PBT treatment, which had a medium pH of 7.3. Leaf area and shoot dry weight were greater in the $50\%$ $PBT+50\%$ peatmoss treatment, than in the $100\%$ PBT treatment, while they were the smallest in the $100\%$ peatmoss treatment. No toxicity symptoms caused by the use or PBT had been observed in any treatment. The results suggest a possibility of recycled PBT, a valuable reusable resource, to be used as a component for medium amendments in horticultural transplant production.

  • Although many researchers propose that market-driven journalism is incurred by the worsening of financial situation as a result of intensifying competition in mass media industry, few studies investigated this claim with actual news data. This study analyzed the headline news of eight major newspapers and two terrestrial TV companies to find the weakening of 'orientating-journalism' function of Korean news media. The results revealed that the duplication rate of news items among ten news companies were decreasing, and the range of news subjects were broadened into diverse topics during last ten years. Therefore it seemed that the tendency of monopolization of a certain events or issues was weakening in news reporting. The financial situation of news companies is an important factor in explaining the change of news reporting. The companies with more worse financial situation have higher duplication rate of news topics along as the more amount of soft news items, leading to the gradual deterioration of their own voices in reporting. The rate of 'independent issue report' was also less than seven precent, thus their reporting is evaluated as having many limitations. In sum, the major newspapers and network broadcasting companies are still exerting strong influences in agenda-setting, but they(mostly newspapers) are suffering from the financial problems, resulting the deterioration of performing orientation journalism function. This study concluded with remarks about the role of major news media in current changing situation.

  • This study was carried out to provide basic data for efficient park management by analysing visitors' satisfaction factors and estimated regression model through questionnaire survey method at Taeanhaean National Park in Korea. Performance(satisfaction) variables as 'touting', 'illegal merchant', 'noise', 'indiscreet use' and 'collection of natural plants or animals', and Importance variables as 'littering problem', 'water pollution act', 'careless cooking' and 'exorbitant pay' were relatively high score. It was clarified that the 'souvenir & special product', 'lack of use program' 'lack of public facility', 'lack of information facility', and 'lack of commercial facility' were 'concentrate here' ones by the Importance-Performance analysis. 'Facility management', 'Use management' and 'Resource management' factors were found out by Factor Analysis and the 'Facility management' was the biggest factor accounting for 32.6% of all. In the estimated model by Multiple Regression Analysis, 'lack of employee's guidance or kindness', 'lack of convenience facility', 'noise', 'lack of facilities to stay' and 'charge of user fee, parking fee' were the variables to impact visitors' satisfaction and to need concentrated management. These results were unique characteristics of marine national park and then the different management strategy and policy from mountain national park were necessary.

  • As commercial use of genetic resources increases in modern society, calls for fair and equitable sharing of the benefits thereof have become increasingly prominent, particularly from developing countries. As a result, negotiations have been ongoing for the "International Regime on Access and Benefit Sharing (ABS)" for genetic resources as a successor to the non-binding Bonn Guideline. 2010 has been set as the target date for the Agreement. As South Korea is more likely to be a user country of genetic resources, it will be necessary for it to take part in the negotiating process and contribute to creating the International Regime on ABS, to ensure both appropriate access to genetic resources and fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising there from. To develop appropriate response strategies for South Korea, it is critical not only to closely examine the negotiations within the framework of the CBD but also to engage in discussions within thescope of related international organizations and domestic legislation. To achieve this goal, it is imperative for South Korea to form a comprehensive Government Response System, composed of relevant governmental bodies including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, and the Ministry of Environment, etc.

  • This study analyzed urban greenspace area and vegetation structure by land use types for Kangnam-gu and Junglang-gu in Seoul different in income and building construction date. The study districts had a similar areal distribution of land use types. Residential lands accounted for about 32~37% of total area, natural lands, 19~22%, commercial and industrial lands(including transportation), 13~18%, and institutional lands, 13~17%. Greenspace covered only 20~30% of urban residential and commercial area in which human activities of living concentrate. Canopy stocking level in urban lands (all land uses except natural and agrecultural lands) was about 39% for Kangnam-gu and 50% for Junglang-gu, showing tree planting potential slightly higher in Kangnam-gu than in Junglang-gu. Woody plant cover was approximately 13%, and tree density was 3 trees/100m$^{2}$ forurban lands in both districts. The tree-age structure was largely characterized by young, growing tree population, and species diversity within a diameter class decreases as the diameter classes get larger. Urban lands of both districts had quite a similar species composition of woody plants (similarity indez of 0.70). Income and bulding construction date did not result in significant diference between the two districts in vegetation structure for urban lands. Some strategies were ezplored to solve problems found in the present greenspace structures. They included increase of biomass and greenspace area through minimization of unnecessary impervious surfaces, creation of multilayered and multiaged vegetation structures, and avoidance of intensive tree pruning and relocation of above ground utility lines.

  • Recently, the demand for a PRT(Personal Rapid Transit) system based on autonomous navigation is increasing. Accordingly, the applicability investigations of the PRT system on rail tracks or roadways have been widely studied. In the case of unmanned vehicle operations without physical guideways on roadways, to monitor the position of the vehicle in real time is very important for stable, robust and reliable guidance of an autonomous vehicle. The Global Positioning System (GPS) has been commercially used for vehicle positioning. However, it cannot be applied in environments as tunnels or interiors of buildings. The PRT navigation system based on magnetic markers reference sensing that can overcome these environmental restrictions and the vehicle dynamics model for its H/W configuration are presented in this study. In addition, the design of a control S/W dedicated for unmanned operation of a PRT vehicle and its prototype implementation for experimental validation on a pilot network were successfully achieved.

  • This study was conducted to examine effects of harvest time (09:00 vs. 14:00), precooling at $4^{\circ}C$ vs. no precooling, and storage temperature (4 vs. $8^{\circ}C$) on the storage life of 'Maehyang' strawberry fruits for export. Fruits at a 60% ripe stage were harvested from a commercial greenhouse in Gyeongsangnamdo, Jinju on May 4, 2010. Fruits were precooled by a forced draft cooling for three hours, transported for about 30 minutes and then stored, immediately. Small precoolers set in the farm were used for precooling. Fruits were placed in constant temperature chamber (4 or $8^{\circ}C$) after packaging using PVC wrap and a cardboard box. Fruits were examined for their changes in weight, hardness, Hunter color values, soluble solids content (SSC), and incidence of gray mold (Botrytis cinerea) during storage at a two days interval from May 6 to May 14, 2010. Hardness and SSC decreased as the ripening stage progressed. The Hunter's 'L' and 'a' value of fruit color decreased as time passed. Also, fresh weight decreased during storage at all temperatures. Soft rot appeared on epidermal tissues and followed by gray mold. Incidence of gray mold was greater at $8^{\circ}C$ storage temperature than in $4^{\circ}C$ storage temperature. However, no difference by the harvested time and precooling. The results indicate that effectiveness for keeping the freshness was best achieved by precooling at $4^{\circ}C$ and storage at $4^{\circ}C$, respectively.

  • Greenhouse gas(GHG) inventories and basic strategies for Jeonbuk regional government were established to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The method to construct GHG inventories of Jeonbuk followed the 'Revised IPCC 1996 Guidelines'which was used for the 'Third National Communication of the Republic of Korea under UNFCCC'. Korean government could use primary energy consumption for the energy industries section in the national GHG inventories. However, regional governments should use secondary energy consumption (included electricity consumption) for the energy industries section for their GHG inventories because they could not control the emission of energy transformation section. In the result of Jeonbuk GHG inventories in 2006, carbon dioxide($CO_2$) emissions from fuel combustion covered 87.1% of total emissions. Methane($CH_4$), carbon dioxide($CO_2$) from other sections, nitrous oxide($N_2O$) and F-gas(HFCs, PFCs, $SF_6$) accounted for 8.1, 2.2, 1.6 and 1.0% of total emissions, respectively. The sectional emission decreased in the order of the energy(88.0%), agriculture(7.6%), waste(2.3%) and industrial processes(2.1%) section. The energy industries section that contained electricity consumption was the most dominant emission source in the energy section. F-gas consumption, rice cultivation and waste incineration were main emission sources in the industrial processes, agriculture and waste section, respectively. In this study, basic directions of each section were established by the results of Jeonbuk GHG inventories in 2006.

  • 도시의 개발을 통한 발전방향은 지역별 기술력을 바탕으로 시대의 흐름과 문화, 경제, 도시정책 등에 따라 다양하다. 특히, 워터프론트는 도시와 가장 근접한 친수공간으로 단어자체에 도시'라는 개념이 포함되어 있다. 즉 도시가 큰 강이나 바다, 호수 등과 접하고 있는 공간을 말한다. 우리나라는 도시계획차원에서 도시 수변공간(urban waterfront)으로 설정하고, 레크레이션, 공원, 경관형성, 환경오염 저감, 정서함양, 생산 등의 다양한 기능을 갖고 있는 매우 공공성이 높은 도시지역의 주요 공간지역으로 의미를 부여하고 있다. 그러나 워터프론트를 개발계획을 수립하는 과정에서 교통계획, 홍수 등의 재해시설, 환경 등에 대한 평가가 제대로 이루어지지 않고 있으며(한국일보, 2011), 개발 계획 추진은 주민 공감대 형성, 사업타당성 검토 없는 '밀어부치기식' 개발 지상주의로 전락하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 국내 워터프론트 개발사업 계획을 추진하고 있는 지역으로 인천 송도지역과 부산의 수산시장으로 유명한 자갈치시장 일대의 개발계획, 마산 도시재생지구의 항만 재개발계획 사례를 분석하여 개발계획의 문제점과 언론상에 비춰지는 개발의 현 실태, 지역개발의 효과 등에 대한 시사점을 도출하였다. 사례지역을 비롯한 대부분의 기존 워터프론트 개발은 경제성을 위해 규모가 큰 상업시설 위주로 개발이 이루어지고 있으며, 주거시설이나 문화시설을 비롯한 다양한 시설의 구성이 부족한 특수성을 갖추어 가고 있다. 또한, 기존의 유휴공간을 재개발하면서 도시와의 관계를 제대로 설정하지 못하여 도시와 분리된 폐쇄공간으로 개발이 이루어지고 있으며, 도시구조에 통합되지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 무엇보다 워터프론트 개발사업에 관계된 여러 집단들, 즉 중앙정부, 지방자치단체, 개발주체, 시민 등 이들 사이에 합의 도출의 어려움이 많아 좋은 계획안이 무산되거나 사업이 지체 혹은 중단되는 사례가 많았다. 워터프론트 개발에 대한 지역민사회의 충분한 공감대가 결코 형성되지 않았음에도 오히려 요식적 여론수렴 절차를 강조하고 있으며, 친환경적 도시개발이라는 사업의 목적과 맞지 않는 계획이 많았다. 특히, 관련 사업 중 항만재개발사업에는 막대한 초기 투자비가 소요되어 재개발사업을 위한 자금의 확보가 어려운 경우가 많이 있었으며, 도시의 장기발전계획과 통합된 장기적인 개발전략이 필요한데 이를 소홀히 하는 경우가 있었다. 본 연구를 통해 기존 워터프론트 개발계획의 문제점과 향후 정비계획이 추구해야 하는 친수구역의 관리방법, 주민참여 방안의 대안제시가 이루어 질 수 있었으며, 이를 바탕으로 국내 친수공간 정비계획을 재 고찰 할 수 있는 기회가 되었으면 한다.
