The main function of conventional insulation materials is only to block the heat transfer and reduce heat loss from the building. On the other hand, thermal storage materials can work as an energy saver by absorbing or emitting heat within a specific temperature range. Thermal storage materials for building can maintain a constant temperature by effectively regulating the cycle of indoor temperature. As a result, we can enhance the performance of a cooling and heating system efficiently. In this study, phase change materials (PCMs) were added as thermal storage materials into gypsum boards which are extensively used for building material and we found out the thermal environmental characteristics. In addition, we checked out some problems when applying the thermal storage materials to buildings. Finally, This study set out to examine the degree of environmental-friendly characteristics of thermal storage building materials by analyzing the amount of TVOC and HCHO contents with the possibility of pollutants emission.

Hot air sparging is a groundwater remediation technique, in which organic contaminants volatilized into hot air from the saturated to vadose zone. In the laboratory diesel (10,000 mg TPH/kg) was spiked in contaminated saturated aquifer soil. The hot air ($34.9{\pm}2.7^{\circ}C$) was injected in intermittent (Q=1,500 mL/min, 10 minute injection and 10 minute idle) modes. We performed microcosm tests using the groundwater samples to assess TPH reductive remediation activity. For Terminal-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (T-RFLP) analysis of eubacterial communities in sludge of wastewater treatment plants and soil of experiment site, the 16S rDNA was amplified by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) from the sludge and the soil. The obtained 16S rDNA fragments were digested with Msp I and separated by electrophoresis gel. We found various sequence types for hot air sparging experiment with sludge soil samples that were closely related to Bacillus (149 bp, Firmicutes), Methlobacterium (149 bp, Euryarchaeotes), Pseudomonas (492 bp, ${\gamma}$-Proteobacteria), etc., in the clone library. In this study we find that TPH-water was reduced to 78.9% of the initial value in this experiment aquifer. The results of the present study suggests that T-RFLP method may be applied as a useful tool for the monitoring in the TPH contaminated soil fate of microorganisms in natural microbial community.

한국 식품화의 위상은 구이류 및 전골류 조리시 발생하는 냄새, 연기, 기름 튐 등의 문제로 인해 낮게 평가 되고 있는 실정이다. 현재 사용하고 있는 불판 및 가열원료가 다양하여 맛의 균일화가 어렵고 사용 후 세척처리가 번거로운데다 환경오염까지 발생시킨다. 구이 및 전골에 소비되는 에너지가 잔량을 모두 섭취할 동안 연속적으로 공급하므로 에너지 소비 및 내부 공기조건이 열악한데 반해 연기 및 냄새와 관련된 제품의 개발과 생산에 참여하는 업체는 증가하고 있다. 하지만 기술력 및 자본력이 미미한 수준에 있어 많은 기술적 측면의 보완이 요구된다. 또 소스, 양념, 부재료 등의 가공처리를 외국인의 식문화에 적합하도록 맛, 향, 관능의 관점에서 규격화 및 현지화도 요구되며, 공급되는 원재료의 고기종류, 규격, 등급 등의 조건들이 국내 관능뿐만 아니라 외국인의 관능적인 관점에서 표준화가 시급하다. 주한 외국인을 대상으로 한 설문에서 59%가 한국음식의 세계화가 가능하고 89.9%가 한식메뉴를 소개할 의사가 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 이는 외국인 소비자의 인지도에서 불고기와 갈비 등의 구이류가 다른 한식보다 선호도가 증가하는 것이기 때문인 것으로 분석된다. 2009년 농림수산식품부가 '한식 세계화 프로젝트'를 선포하여 1만여 곳의 해외식당을 2017년까지 4만 곳으로 증가할 예정이다. 따라서 한식문화의 표준화를 위한 용어 재료 기구 단위 등의 표준화 기반개발을 바탕으로 조리 및 식문화의 표준화가 요구되고 있다. 우리나라는 구이전문점들이 일반주거 및 아파트 단지에 위치하고 있어 연기와 냄새에 대한 민원 및 분쟁이 발생되고 있다. 이에 집진, 제연 설비의 설치비용이 많이 소요되고 있으며 대부분의 구이설비가 수입제품으로 규모가 매우 크다. 일본의 경우 2002년도부터 음식점에서 발생하는 연기에 관한 규제를 법제화하였다. 위의 기술적, 경제 산업적, 사회 문화적 측면의 필요성을 바탕으로 본 연구는 연기 음식 냄새 저감 성능이 뛰어난 친환경 저에너지의 가열조리 기구 개발 및 국내외 현장적용 산업화 모델 구축을 통해 한식당 시설 개선 및 고급화를 유도하고 세계시장에서의 한식문화 경쟁력을 확보코자 한식문화 경쟁력 확보와 경제, 문화, 산업적 성공 비즈니스 모델을 제시하였다.

The miniaturization of electrostatic precipitator is becoming a key element to the success of the efficient electrostatic precipitator due to the limited space allowed to install electrostatic precipitator in subway tunnel. Nowadays, a research on electrostatic precipitator in urban railroad equipment technology is under an active study. Finite element method has been used one of the most popular techniques, but it consumes a lot of time especially in computation iterations. Accordingly, the lumped parameter analysis can be an alternative tool to FEM because of its computation iteration capability with fair accuracy. In this paper, lumped parameter model and the simulation results are presented. In addition, the result of lumped parameter analysis is compared with those obtained from finite element analysis for verification.

Recently, as industrialization is rapidly growing and the standard of life is rising, the quantities of waste glasses have been hastily increased and most of them are not recycled but abandoned. It cause some problems such as the waste of natural resources and environmental pollution. Therefore, this study was conducted basic experimental research to analyze the possibilities of recycling of waste glasses(crushed waste glasses outbreaking from our country such as amber, emerald-green, flint and mixed) as fine aggregates for concrete. Test results of fresh concrete, slump and compacting factors decrease because grain shape is angular and air content increase due to involving small size particles so much in waste glasses. Also compressive, tensile and flexural strengths decrease with increase of the content of waste glasses. In conclusion, the content of waste glasses below 30% is reasonable and usage of pertinent admixture is necessary to obtain workability and air content.

In Seoul, skyscrapers are built in commercial zones known as residential-commercial complexes, which cause such environmental problems as urban heat islands(UHI) and air pollution. To investigate air temperature differences in areas near skyscrapers at Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea, fixed air temperature observation and traverse observations were performed from March 16, 2008 to March 15, 2009. The annual mean air temperature at Tower Palace(TPL) was higher than that at Sookmyung Girls' High School(SMG) by $0.7^{\circ}C$, although the distance between the two observation positions is only 200m. The number of tropical nights at TPL was 13, while that at SMG was 5. The higher air temperature at TPL was due to a significantly lower sky view factor(SVF), which prevented long-wave radiation from emitting into the sky. The highest air temperature increases near TPL occurred on summer nights because of the high-electricity consumption value of $70.22Wh/m^2$ for the TPL block in August due to air conditioning for cooling. It is concluded that the warm air pocket centered on TPL.
