The present study was sought to clarify whether the combination of mental activity with subway noise affects hematological variables. Fifty-six healthy volunteers participated in this experiment and underwent a stress task consisting of combination_of mental activity (mental arithmetic) with subway noise for 50 min and 60min of recovery after the end of the stress task. Venous blood samples were collected for measuring CBC, prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), fibrinogen concentration, D-dimer and high sensitive C-reactive protein (H-CRP) levels before (baseline), 50min of stress task (S-50m), and 60 min of recovery (R-60m). Total leukocyte, neutrophil and lymphocyte counts significantly increased at R-60m compared with baselines. RBC count at S-50m was higher, while monocyte counts at S-50m and R-60m were lower than those of baselines. aPTTs shortened at S-50m and R-60m, but PT reduced at R-60m as compared with baselines. D-dimer and H-CRP levels at S-50m and R-60m were significantly higher than those of baselines. These findings imply that a combination of mental activity with subway noise nay cause leukocytosis, homo-concentration, shortened PT and aPTT, decreased ESR, and raised D-dimer and H-CRP levels, suggesting possible development of inflammation and prothrombogenic reaction attributable to a subway environment.

The effect of small and medium scale shipyard operations on environmental pollutions related with civil appeal of nearby residential areas was estimated. PM-10(particles with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to 10 $\mu$m) concentrations were higher, as the sampling sites were nearer from shipyards. PM-10 concentrations of sampling sites closer to shipbuilding companies were higher during the normal operation periods than on vacation at which only small works were done. The larger amount of dry deposition was observed as the sampling sites were closer to shipyards. The odor intensity was highly influenced by ambient temperature. Almost all odor intensities measured by air dilution sensory test went over the emission standard in summer. Odor properties measured by instrumental analysis were observed to exceed the emission standard enforced to the shipyards. Odor compounds such as ammonia, sulfur compounds and trimethylamine went over the standard. Concentrations of styrene and aldehydes were lower than the olfactory threshold. All equivalent sound levels measured at daytime except the value of SP-3 pont were in excess of the environmental standard. Almost all sound levels at nighttime in all measuring sites were higher than the environmental standard. The results of this study shows counterplans need to be established for reducing the civil appeal related pollutions in the research areas.

This study aims to provide the basic data useful in assessing indoor-noise and designing sound devices in office buildings of HVAC system. The measurements of HVAC noise were carried out in office room and mechanical room. The performance of absorptive chamber and side branch was also estimated in the office buildings which have HVAC noise problems. The results of experiments show that the NR value of indoor HVAC noise is rather higher than that of ISO recommendations at the frequencies below 500Hz. In addition, the results indicated that the absorptive chamber attenuates noise over broad band frequencies and side branch reduces noise at the special resonant frequency.

본 연구에서는 소음 센서와 진동 센서를 사용하여 층간소음 정보를 받아 기준치를 초과하면 소음 제공자에게 경고를 할수 있는 소음관리 시스템을 제안하였다. 소음 정보를 입력 받아 경고를 하는 알고리즘을 처리하기 위해 아두이노 보드를 사용하였고, 여러 주소로부터 전송되는 다수의 센서들을 적은 전력으로 전송할 수 있도록 Wi-fi shield와 MQTT 앙상블 데이터 전송방식을 적용하였다. 전송된 정보들은 Firebase 플랫폼을 통해 사용자들이 쉽게 정보에 접근할 수 있도록 구성하였다. 또한 저장된 대용량의 데이터에 대한 체계적인 관리를 위해 R 프로그램을 이용하여 데이터의 특징을 분석하였다. 제안된 시스템의 기능 및 동작을 실험한 결과 정상적으로 동작함을 확인하였다.

1000MW급 증설과 관련하여 발전소 주변지역으로부터 민원이 제기된 3000MW급 화력발전소는 넓은 평지에 위치하여 발전소의 영향이 그대로 주변지역에 전달되는 상태임에도 일상 소음레벨이 환경 기준치를 만족하는 상태였으나 향후 증설에 따른 소음도 증가에 대비하여 소음영향을 예측하고 저감 대책을 검토하였다. 대형 화력발전소의 옥외소음원은 Booster fan, I.D.fan, 주변압기, 대형 철탑, 해수순환수 펌프 전동기, 증기방출관 등이 있다. 대상 주거지역의 경우는 대형팬에 의한 지향성이 크게 나타났다. 따라서, 발전소가 주변지역에 주는 소음별 기여도를 평가하고 영향이 큰 대형팬에 대한 대책으로써 기기주변에 방음벽을 설치하는 방안과 함께 소음원의 크기를 저감시킬 수 있는 소음기 대책을 추천하여 증설 예정호기를 비롯한 기존 호기중 주거지역에 영향이 큰 3000MW에 대하여 수립함으로써 소음저감 목표치를 달성하는 결과를 도출하였다.

Main transformer's integrity assessment in nuclear power plant is estimated by the electrical test of electrical core and wire and the chemical analysis of insulating oil. Mechanical test or analysis has not been so far. So this study makes it with the vibration velocity rating. The vibration velocity rating in main transformer which is based on the real data of vibration velocity measurement under operating and other machinery vibration code such as ISO code is renewed.

Airborne noise is one of the considerable environmental factors for navy ship personnel who should accomplish their tasks in restricted ship spaces against adverse health effect of noise. However, it is difficult to find studies on actual condition of airborne noise for navy ships. In this study, we measured airborne noise levels at 379 compartments of 33 Korean navy ships. Using the measured data, we presented mean values and their standard deviations of measured noise levels with factors of ship type, compartment category, and operation mode. Additionally, we evaluated the mean value and cumulative probability of airborne noise levels of compartments with those of the US navy ships. These results can be rationally used in making the proper airborne noise criteria of the navy ship for the future.
