This study was carried out to estimate aboveground biomass and net primary production in an average 37-year-old Quercus acutissima stand of Pohang area. Ten sample trees were cut in the forest and soil samples were collected in August, 2001. Estimation for aboveground biomass and net primary production was made by the equation model Wt=$aD^b$ where Wt is ovendry weight in kg and D is DBH in cm. Total aboveground biomass was 115.47ton/ha in the study forest. The proportion of each tree component to total aboveground biomass was high in order of bolewood(63.9%), branches(19.8%), bolebark(16.2%) and leaves(1.2%) in the study forest. Aboveground total net primary production was estimated at 7.89ton/ha in the study area. The proportion of each tree component to total net primary production was high in order of bolewood, bolebark, branch, and leaves.

Optimal design of the direct-driven PM Wind Generator, combined with DEAS(Dynamic Encoding Algorithm for Searches) and FEM(Finite Element Method), has been proposed to maximize the Annual Energy Production(AEP) over the whole wind speed characterized by the statistical model of wind speed distribution. In particular, DEAS contributes to reducing the excessive computing time for the optimization process.

This paper presents optimal design of direct-driven PM wind generator using MADS (Mesh Adaptive Direct Search). Optimal design of the direct-driven PM Wind Generator, combined with MADS and FEM (Finite Element Method), has been performed to maximize the Annual Energy Production (AEP) over the whole wind speed characterized by the statistical model of the wind speed distribution. In particular, the newly applied MADS contributes to reducing the computation time when compared with Genetic Algorithm (GA) implemented with the parallel computing method.

This article aims to summarize the recycling status of scrap gold, silver, platinum, and palladium by regions and industries in order to utilize the data for securing raw materials of the domestic urban mining industry. The amount of gold from scrap has shown a tendency to decrease in countries other than China over the last ten years, which is attributed to the increase in scrap containing gold in China. The industry demand for gold is the highest in electronic products, but it is decreasing. The amount of scrap recycling for silver has declined but total silver production has increased by increasing mine products. As production and demand from platinum and palladium scrap are mostly for catalysts, their demand could be affected by the electric vehicle industry.

The assessment of the current and future climate change-induced potential wind energy is an important issue in the planning and operations of wind farm. Here, the authors analyze spatiotemporal characteristics and variabilities of wind energy over Korean Peninsula in the near future (2006-2040) using Representative Concentration Pathway(RCP) scenarios data. In this study, National Institute of Meteorological Research (NIMR) regional climate model HadGEM3-RA based RCP 2.6 and 8.5 scenarios are analyzed. The comparison between ERA-interim and HadGEM3-RA during the period of 1981-2005 indicates that the historical simulation of HadGEM3-RA slightly overestimates (underestimates) the wind energy over the land (ocean). It also shows that interannual and intraseasonal variability of hindcast data is generally larger than those of reanalysis data. The investigation of RCP scenarios based future wind energy presents that future wind energy density will increase over the land and decrease over the ocean. The increase in the wind energy and its variability is particularly significant over the mountains and coastal areas, such as Jeju island in future global warming. More detailed analysis presents that the changes in synoptic conditions over East Asia in future decades can influence on the predicted wind energy abovementioned. It is also suggested that the uncertainty of the predicted future wind energy may increase because of the increase of interannual and intra-annual variability. In conclusion, our results can be used as a background data for devising a plan to develop and operate wind farm over the Korean Peninsula.

Factors of Zero-Energy Building are divided into active and passive factor. Passive factor means insulation, heat bridge of building like insulation, windows and doors, awning, outside etc. and active factor means energy output and efficiency coefficient. Energy output of active factor is achieved by new generating energy. This study anticipated how many effects will be produced when not new generating energy but Vehicle to Building; V2B, bi-directional charging and discharging technology, is applied to Zero-Energy Building. In new generating energy, power generation will be anticipated by geography and climate, but in V2B, several input variable like user's discharging intention and number of usable charger etc. should be considered. We can check how much V2B contribute to the Zero-Energy Building by anticipated results, and that results should be anticipated by using probabilitic method because there is few statistical data. This study anticipate change of charging and discharging pattern, based by Demand Response slot, by using monte carlo method among the probabilitic methods.

북한의 심각한 식량난 문제는 남한은 물론 국제사회의 커다란 관심사가 되어오고 있다. 식량난은 영양공급을 감소시킴으로써 노동생산성을 저하시키게 되고 결국 경제성장에도 부정적인 영향을 미치게 된다. 그러나 북한 식량난에 대한 대부분의 연구는 식량난 정도의 파악 혹은 지원이나 협력을 통한 해결방안의 모색에 머무르고 있을 뿐, 식량난의 경제적 파급효과에 대한 연구는 거의 없는 실정이다. 본 연구는 1995년 이후 북한이 겪고 있는 심각한 식량난으로 인하여 북한주민의 에너지 섭취량이 어느 정도 저하되어 있는가를 파악하고, 이러한 에너지 섭취량의 저하가 노동생산성에 어떠한 여향을 미치고 있는가를 추정하고 있다. 추정결과에 의하면, 1997년 현재 북한주민의 하루 평균 에너지 섭취량은 1,600kcal 수준으로 1994년에 비하여 약 20% 감소되었으며, 이는 노동생산성과 생산량을 약 13% 저하시킨 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 추정결과는 남한이나 중국의 경우와 비교한 결과 설득력이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 한편 이 기간중 북한 경제규모 축소의 약 30%는 에너지 섭취량의 감소에 따른 노동생산성의 저하에 기인하는 것으로 추정되었다.

본 연구에서는 자연광 이용 온실의 재배면적을 최대화 하기 위하여 작물생강 모델링, 태양의 위치 및 일사량을 이용하여 2단재배 시스템을 위한 한계일사량 산정 모델, 2단재배 광환경 분성 모델을 개발하였다. 그리고 광환경의 변화에 따른 작물 생장 지체시간을 이용하여 작물의 생산량이 최대가 될 수 있는 한계 일사량의 값을 산정하여 2단 재배 시스템을 최적 설계 하였다. 2단재배 시스템의 최적설계를 위한 분석결과 총 생산량이 약 3.669 kg (d.m.)${\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}yerar^{-1}$이며, 기존 재배방식보다 130.2 %의 생산 증대 효과를 잦는 것으로 계산 되었다. 이와 같은 다단재배 시스템은 온실 내부의 공간을 효율적으로 이용하여 제배면적 대비 에너지 투입 비용을 절감 할 것으로 기대 된다.
