A cantilevered piezoelectric energy harvester(PEH) and an auxiliary mass-spring unit can be integrated into a novel two-degrees-of-freedom PEH where its lowest eigenmode is not an in-phase modes but an out-of-phase mode. This typical behavior was shown to enhance output power considerably compared with its stand-alone counterpart. The objective of this study is to newly develop a continuum-based mathematical model suitable for efficient analysis of the mode-sequence reversed PEH. Once such a mathematical model is available, various physical behaviors can be analytically investigated for better designs. After a new mathematical model is developed, its validity is checked by using ANSYS results, in terms of resonant frequency, open-circuit voltage, and output power with a specified external resistance.

For most applications of the vibration energy harvesting technology as in wireless sensor networks for smart buildings and plants, the evaluation of DC output performance of vibration energy harvesters is typically required. However, there is no dedicated algorithm for the evaluation. The lack of a dedicated algorithm results from difficulties in the direct incorporation of nonlinear rectifying and regulating circuitry into finite element models of piezoelectric vibration energy harvesters. In this study, we develop a dedicated algorithm and present software based on it for the evaluation of not only AC but also DC electrical quantities. Here, an equivalent electrical circuit model is employed. The COMSOL multiphysics simulation tool is adopted for extracting equivalent electrical circuit parameters of a piezoelectric vibration energy harvester and MATLAB is used to make a graphical user interface. The AC voltage and power outputs calculated by the proposed algorithm under various conditions are compared with those by a traditional finite element analysis. The DC output voltage and power through a rectifier are obtained for varying values of smoothing capacitance and external resistance.

The use of equivalent circuit models of piezoelectric energy harvesters is inevitable when power circuitry including rectifying and smoothing circuit elements is connected to them for evaluating DC electrical outputs. This is because it is difficult to incorporate the electro-mechanical coupling resulting from the additional circuitry into the conventional finite element analysis. Motivated by this observation, we propose a method to accurately extract the equivalent circuit parameters by using commercially available FEM software such as ANSYS which provides three-dimensional AC piezoelectric analysis. Then the equivalent circuit can be analyzed by circuit simulators such as $SimPowerSystems^{TM}$ of MATLAB. While the previous works have estimated the circuit parameters by experimental measurements or by analytical solutions developed only for limited geometries and boundary conditions, the proposed method has no such limitation because piezoelectric energy harvesters of any shapes and boundary conditions can be treated in FEM software. For the verification of the proposed method, multi-modal AC electrical power output by using a corresponding equivalent circuit is compared with that by ANSYS. The proposed method is then shown to be very useful in the subsequent evaluation of DC electrical output which is obtained by attaching a bridge diode and a storage capacitor to a piezoelectric energy harvester.

Vibrational energy harvester based on piezoelectricity has been expected to be the dominant energy harvesting technology due to the advantages of high conversion efficiency, light weight and small size, night operation, etc. Its commercialization is just around the corner but the integration with power management electronics should be solved in advance. In this paper, therefore, fully-integrated design environment for piezoelectric energy harvesting systems is presented to assist co-design with the power management electronics. The proposed design environment is capable of analyzing the energy harvester including the package-induced damping effects and simulating the device and its power management electronics simultaneously. When the developed design environment was applied to the fabricated device, the simulated resonant frequency matched well with the experimental result with a difference of 2.97% only. Also, the complex transient response was completed in short simulation time of 3,001 seconds including the displacement distribution over the device geometry. Furthermore, a full-bridge power management circuit was modeled and simulated with the energy harvester simultaneously. Therefore the proposed, fully-integrated design environment is accurate and fast enough for the contribution on successful commercialization of piezoelectric energy harvester.

Much attention has been focused on the activity of the natural antioxidants present in fruits and vegetables, because potentially these components may reduce the level of oxidative stress. Especially, mulberry leaves containing many natural components are considerable resource far natural antioxidants. The antioxidant capacity of mulberry leaves was investigated with minilum L-100 device and ARAW-KIT (anti-radical ability of water-soluble substance), in comparison to the ascorbic acid. The appropriate conditions for pre-treatments of mulberry leaves were 80% MeOH, 30 sec. vortex mixing. The antioxidant capacity of 16 varieties was 3303.4 nmol (ascorbic acid equivalents) at opening stage of five leaves in spring. The highest stage of antioxidant capacity (3708.0 nmol) and yield rate was just before the coloration stare with anthocyanin in fruits, whereas the lowest stage was middle of June (2231.6 nmol) and about two months growing stage after summer pruning (2064.6 nmol). But after summer pruning, the antioxidant capacity of mulberry.

본 연구의 목적은 DGPS와 자이로 센서를 장착하여 무인으로 콤바인을 직선주행, 선회 및 곡선주행, 직진주행 중 1 m 오프셋(offset) 주행시켰을 때, 무인 자율주행의 성능을 분석하고 개선하는데 있다. 콤바인의 무인자율주행 시스템은 콤바인의 현재위치를 인식하고, 주행하고 있는 콤바인의 주행방향을 감지하여 미리 설정된 경로를 따라 자율적으로 주행하며, 주행 중에 장애물이 검출되면 정지할 수 있도록 개발하였다. 콤바인의 무인 자율주행시스템은 DGPS의 입력 신호로부터 콤바인의 현재위치를 결정하고, 자이로 센서의 입력신호로부터 주행방향을 알 수 있다. 또한 장애물의 감지를 위한 초음파 센서, 콤바인의 주행방향을 조정하는 유압 작동부, 좌.우의 조향레버를 조정하는 서보모터 시스템, 마이크로 컴퓨터로 구성된 제어기와 입출력 인터페이스로 구성되어 있다. 콤바인 자율주행시스템의 프로그램은 DGPS 신호, 자이로 센서 등을 수신하는 수신 프로그램, DGPS 신호등으로부터 관련 변수들을 분석하여 콤바인의 조향수준을 결정하고, 유압실린더 등을 제어하는 제어 프로그램과 콤바인의 이동경로를 저장하는 저장 프로그램으로 구성되어 있다. 콤바인의 무인주행 실험결과 RMS 오차는 50 m 직선주행에서 7.52 cm, 20 m 직선주행 후 1 m 오프셋 된 30 m의 직선주행에서 21.85 cm, 20 m 직선주행 후 90$^{\circ}$선회하여 25 m 직선주행에서 7.55 cm, 반지름 23 m의 원주 사분면 곡선주행에서는 25.98 cm로 각각 나타났다. 소 구획의 포장에서 벼는 가로 방향으로 25~30 cm, 세로 방향으로 15~20 cm의 간격으로 심어져 있다. DGPS 신호에 의한 위치 결정을 할 때 자체 오차 10 cm를 고려하여도 콤바인이 직선구간 및 선회구간을 주행하며 수확작업이 가능함을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 곡선구간에서는 최대오차가 65.5 cm로 매우 크게 나타나, 콤바인을 무인 자율주행으로 수확하기에는 어려움이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 실제 포장은 이론적인 완전한 직선보다는 작은 굴곡이 있는 곡선의 형태가 이루어져 있으므로 주행 오차를 감소하기 위해서는 기계시각을 이용하면 보다 정밀한 조향을 이룰 수 있을 것으로 예상된다. 포장에서 DGPS 신호, 자이로 센서 등을 이용한 콤바인의 무인주행 장치는 무인 수확작업을 위한 가능성을 보여주었고, 일부의 센서의 기능을 개선하면 만족한 성능을 나타낼 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This study was carried out to characterize aroma of semi-fermented teas made traditionally in Korea temple. These teas had favorable floral aroma. The extraction of aroma compounds was accomplished by a simultaneous distillation and extraction method using a Likens and Nickerson's extraction apparatus. The concentrated extract was analyzed and identified by GC and GC-MSD. The main aroma components of these teas were 3-methylbutanal, 2-methylbutanal, (E)-2-hexenal, phenylacetaldehyde, 2-phenyl ethanol, geraniol, ${\beta}-ionone$ and nerolidol. Particularly, the concentration of phenylacetaldehyde was much higher concentration in semi-fermented teas than in green tea prepared from same place. The GC patterns of the aroma components in the semi-fermented teas were slightly different, though they were prepared in same place.

In this paper, it was investigated how the amount of energy harvesting will be varied from the FTEH which has inlet area is wider than outer area and attaching cantilever type MFC (Macro Fiber Composite) using by theoretical and experimental approaches. When MFC length increased 50 % vibration displacement also increased 3.5 times. When thickness decreased vibration displacement increased 30.9 times. In underwater tank experiments FTEH with spiral screw, flexible support, vertical direction fabrication cases showed maximum energy harvesting more 5 times than the case of MFC installed horizontally without spiral screws and on rigid supports. When the flow speed of 0.24 m/s FTEH's optimal resistance applied 4,10 kΩ, energy storage in the capacitor was measured 4 ㎼·s during 350 seconds. It was confirmed that the charging energy can be increased by lengthening the capacitor charging time of the large-area MFC installed vertically on the flexible support at high flow speed.

This study was conducted to provide a basis for raising farm income by increasing the yield and extending the cultivation period by creating an environment where crops can be cultivated normally during high temperatures in summer. The maximum cooling load of the multi-span greenhouse with a floor area of 504 ㎡ was found to be 462,609 W, and keeping the greenhouse under 32℃ without shading the greenhouse at a high temperature, it was necessary to fog spray 471.6 L of water per hour. The automatic fog cooling control device was developed to effectively control the fog device, the flow fan, and the light blocking device constituting the fog cooling system. The fog cooling system showed that the temperature of the greenhouse could be lowered by 6℃ than the outside temperature. The relative humidity of the fog-cooled greenhouse was 40-80% during the day, about 20% higher than that of the control greenhouse, and this increase in relative humidity contributed to the growth of cucumbers. The relative humidity of the fog cooling greenhouse during the day was 40-80%, which was about 20% higher than that of the control greenhouse, and this increase in relative humidity contributed to the growth of cucumbers. The yield of cucumbers in the fog-cooled greenhouse was 1.8 times higher in the single-span greenhouse and two times higher in the multi-span greenhouse compared to the control greenhouse.

본 연구는 풋콩 탈협기 개발을 위한 기초연구로서 풋콩 탈협기의 급치를 교환할 수 있고, 급동의 주속도와 송풍팬의 회전속도 및 공기 흡입구의 개구면적을 조절할 수 있는 실험장치를 제작하고, 급치의 종류가 풋콩의 탈협 및 손상에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 또한 송풍팬의 회전속도와 흡입 공기구의 개구비 변화 따른 선별 성능을 분석하였다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1 급치의 종류에 따른 풋콩의 미 탈협율은 철선 급치가 최대 1.6%, 최소 0.0%,평균 0.7%로서 가장 낮게 나타났고, 그 다음이 경도 60의 고무제 급치로서 최대 2.0%, 최소 0.0% 평균 1.1%, 경도 80의 고무제 급치는 최대 2.5%, 최소 0.0% 평균 1.7% 순으로 높아졌다. 또한 풋콩의 미탈협율은 급동 원주속도가 18m/s에서 55m/s로 증가할수록 감소하였다. 이는 급동의 원주 속도가 증가함에 따라 급치의 선단이 풋콩 꼬투리에 가하는 타격력이 증가하기 때문인 것으로 생각된다. 2. 급치의 종류에 따른 풋콩의 손상율은 경도 80의 고무제 급치는 최대 5.2%, 최소 1.3%, 평균 2.8%로서 가장 낮게 나타났고, 그 다음이 경도 60의 고무제 급치로서 최대 5.7%, 최소 2.4% 평균 3.8%, 철선 급치는 최대 6.3%, 최소 2.6% 평균 4.2% 순으로 높아졌다. 또한 풋콩의 손상율은 급동 원주속도가 증가할수록 풋콩 꼬투리의 손상율은 증가하였다. 이 또한 급등의 원주 속도가 증가함에 따라 급치의 선단이 풋콩 꼬투리에 가하는 타격력이 증가하기 때문인 것으로 생각된다. 3. 공기흡입구의 개구면적을 증가시킬수록 선별율은 높게 나타났으나 개구비가 60%이상에서는 선별율이 크게 차이가 나지 않았으며, 송풍팬의 원주속도를 높일수록 선별율은 높게 나타났다.도 콤바인이 직선구간 및 선회구간을 주행하며 수확작업이 가능함을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 곡선구간에서는 최대오차가 65.5 cm로 매우 크게 나타나, 콤바인을 무인 자율주행으로 수확하기에는 어려움이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 실제 포장은 이론적인 완전한 직선보다는 작은 굴곡이 있는 곡선의 형태가 이루어져 있으므로 주행 오차를 감소하기 위해서는 기계시각을 이용하면 보다 정밀한 조향을 이룰 수 있을 것으로 예상된다. 포장에서 DGPS 신호, 자이로 센서 등을 이용한 콤바인의 무인주행 장치는 무인 수확작업을 위한 가능성을 보여주었고, 일부의 센서의 기능을 개선하면 만족한 성능을 나타낼 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.dislocations form local defect arrangements at the grooves permitting the substantial reduction in defect density over the remainder of the interfacial area.한 최대의 감자 재배지역을 형성하였다. 제주도는 산지지형과 따뜻한 기온으로 2기작이 가능하고, 감자가공 공장설립과 교통발달에 따른 육지 시장과의 접근이 용이해졌기 때문에 남한에서 2번째로 큰 감자재배지역이 되었다.(요약 및 결론에서 발췌)그람양성균에서 효과적이었으며, 농도별 항균력시험 결과 농도가 증가할수록 비례하여 저해율도 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 첨가농도를 달리하여 미생물의 생육도를 측정한 결과, fraction II磎꼭\ulcorner경우 그람양성균에 대해 500 ppm 이상에서 뚜렷한 증식억제효과를 나타내었다.서 뚜렷한 증식억제효과를 나타내었다.min/+}$계 수컷 이형접합체 형질전환 마우스에 AIN-76A 정제사료만을 투여한 대조군은 1.40$\pm$
