Mobile bacterial particles can act as carriers and enhance the transport of hydrophobic contaminants in ground water by reducing retardation effects. Because of their colloidal size and favorable surface conditions, bacteria can act as efficient contaminant carriers. When such carriers exist in a porous medium, the system can be thought of as three phases: an aqueous phase, a carrier phase, and a stationary solid matrix phase. Contaminant can be present in either or all of these phases. In this study, a mathematical model based on mass balances is developed to describe the transport and fate of biodegradable contaminant in a porous medium. Bacterial mass transfer mechanism between aqueous and solid matrix phases, and contaminant mass transfer between aqueous and bacterial phases are represented by kinetic models. Governing equations are non-dimensionalized and solved to analyze the bacteria facilitated contaminant transport. The numerical results of the facilitation effect match favorably with experimental data reported in the literature. Results show that the contaminant transport can be described by local equilibrium assumption when Damkohler numbers are larger than 10. Significant sensitivities to model parameters, particularly bacterial growth rate and influent bacterial concentration, were discovered.

The electronic products such as laptop PC, cellular phone, robots and etc. need the DC power source. Recently, the secondary battery is frequently used as the portable DC power source and it needs forming process. In this paper, we proposed the bidirectional converter that the battery can be charged with high power factor and the discharged energy is regenerated into AC power source. In the charging mode, the converter acts as the boost rectifier. And the AC input current is controlled in phase with the AC input voltage. As a result, the power factor is improved nearly to unity. In the discharging mode, the DC power of battery wasted in resistor is regenerated to the AC bus line. Finally, the validity of the proposed bidirectional converter is verified by computer simulations and experimentation.

최근 홍수로 제체누수 및 지반누수에 의해 제방이 피해를 입는 사례가 증가하였다. 특히 2000년대부터 Piping 현상으로 제방이 붕괴되는 일들이 다수 발생하고 있어 기존 제방의 안정성 검토와 신설 제방 설계의 필요성이 제기되고 있다. 우리나라의 제방 침투해석은 2차원 비정상 침투해석을 하고 있으나 이 경우 외력 조건으로 외수위에 대한 하천의 홍수파형이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 설계 홍수파형 유도를 위하여 금호강 상류지점인 금호 수위관측소에서 설계 홍수위 및 시간별 홍수위 등을 조사하여 과거 홍수사상의 시간별 수위곡선을 분석하였다. 수위곡선은 Huff의 4분위법에 따라 무차원화 시키기 위하여 각 홍수위의 누가지속시간과 누가 홍수위를 구하고 Weibull분포의 도시위치 공식을 적용하여 10~90％ 무차원 누가곡선을 도시하였다. 일반적으로 통계 해석상 중앙값을 나타내는 50％ 무차원 누가곡선을 사용하기 때문에 본 연구에서도 50％ 무차원 누가곡선을 사용하여 무차원 설계 홍수파형을 유도하였다. 새로이 유도한 무차원 설계 홍수파형을 외력 조건으로 하고, 금호강 유역의 인근 제방을 모형으로 하여 SEEP/W 프로그램으로 2차원 침투해석을 실시함으로써 그동안 외수위를 계획 제방고까지 인위적으로 연장시켜 사용하는 문제점을 해결하고 우리나라의 실정에 맞는 설계 홍수파형을 유도하여 하천제방 설계 및 기존 제방의 안정성 검토에 활용될 수 있는 연구를 수행하고자 한다.

최근 4대강 살리기 등 하천 개발 사업으로 인한 하천환경의 변화로 하도 내 유사의 세굴 및 퇴적 문제가 제기되고 있으며 이에 대한 대책수립이 요구되고 있는 실정이다. 국외의 경우 이미 수제와 같은 수공구조물의 설계 가이드와 유로 확보 및 하도 안정화를 위한 목적의 수제가 실제 하천에 적용된 사례를 확인할 수 있으며 경험적 공식 등을 통해 이미 실용화 단계에 있다. 그러나 국내의 경우 소수의 수제 설치 등 제한적인 연구만이 진행되고 있을 뿐 하도 안정화를 위한 적절한 기술 개발이 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 하도안정화를 위한 구조적 대책의 일환으로 이동상 수리모형 실험을 통해 단일 및 연속수제를 이용함에 있어 수제 설치에 따른 하상변화의 특성을 지배하는 매개변수(수심, 후루이드 수, 유속 등)를 검토하였다. 연구 결과 후루이드 수와 수심 뿐만 아니라 평균 유속 와 한계유속 $V_r$을 무차원화한 $V/V_{cr}$ 값이 하상 변동 양상에 지배적인 영향을 미친다는 사실을 확인하였다. 수제주변의 정량적 세굴 및 퇴적 깊이와 범위는 물론 수제가 수제부 하류에 미치는 하상 변화의 영향 범위를 지배하는 인자들의 상관관계를 유도하였다. 본 연구에서 확인한 수제 설치 시 하상변동 특성을 지배하는 주요인자들과 이들의 상관관계는 하상의 안정성 확보 및 수제 설계 가이드라인 수립을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Colloids such as exogenous biocolloids in a bioremediation operation can enhance the transport of contaminant in ground water by reducing retardation effects. Because of their colloidal size and favorable surface conditions in addition to their low density, bacteria can act as efficient contaminant carriers. When mobile bacteria are present in a subsurface environment, the system can be treated as consisting of three phases: water phase, bacterial phase, and the stationary solid matrix phase. In this work, a mathematical model based on mass balances is developed to describe the facilitated transport and fate of a contaminant in a porous medium. Bacterial partition between the bulk solution and the stationary solid matrix, and the contaminant partition among the three phases are represented by the equilibrium relationships. Solutions were obtained to provide estimates of contaminant and bacterial concentrations. A dimensionless analysis of the transport model was utilized to estimate model parameters from the experimental data. The model results matched with experimental data of Jenkins and Lion (1993). The presence of mobile bacteria enhances the contaminant transport. However, bacterial consumption of the contaminant which serves as a bacterial nutrient, can attenuate the contaminant concentration.

In this paper, we propose a post-processing algorithm to remove false minutiae which decrease the overall performance of an automatic fingerprint identification system by increasing computational complexity, FAR(False Acceptance Rate), and FRR(False Rejection Rate) in matching process. The proposed algorithm extracts candidate minutiae from thinned fingerprint image. Considering characteristics of the thinned fingerprint image, the algorithm selects the minutiae that may be false and located in recoverable area. If the area where the selected minutiae reside is thinned incorrectly due to noise and loss of information, the algorithm recovers the area and the selected minutiae are removed from the candidate minutiae list. By examining the ridge pattern of the block where the candidate minutiae are found, true minutiae are recovered and in contrast, false minutiae are filtered out. In an experiment, Fingerprint images from NIST special database 14 are tested and the result shows that the proposed algorithm reduces the false minutiae extraction rate remarkably and increases the overall performance of an automatic fingerprint identification system.

The furniture industry has a high possibility to create value-added and a high potential to create new occupations due to the characteristics of the industry, which mainly consists of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). However, the used furniture, which has sufficient reuse value, is also crushed and used as solid refuse fuel (SRF) recently. Besides, the number of waste treatment companies continues to decrease, and it occurs congestion of wood waste. As a way to solve the issue, a business model development of remanufacturing used furniture can be suggested as an alternative due to its high circular economic efficiency. Remanufacturing business including furniture industry creates positive effects in various aspects such as economic, environmental and job creation. In other words, remanufacturing is an effective recycling way to reduce input resources and energy in the production process. The results of economic analysis show that the expected annual revenue from the single worker furniture remanufacturing site was 104 million won which is 3.11 times more than the average income of a single-worker household in Korea and its B/C ratio was estimated about 30 which means high business feasibility. Revenue through furniture remanufacturing also showed 320 times higher than that of SRF production from the perspective of weight. In addition, it is shown that the GHGs reduction from the furniture remanufacturing is 2.2 ton CO₂-eq. per year, which is similar to the amount of GHGs absorption effect of 937 pine trees or 622 Korean oak trees annually. Thus the results of this study demonstrate that it is important to adopt an appropriate recycling method considering the economic and environmental effects at the end-of-life stage.
