철강 재료의 GMA 용접 시, 보호가스로 $CO_2$ 가스를 사용하면 가격이 저렴하고 용입이 깊다는 장점이 있어 국내에서 광범위하게 사용되어 왔다. 그러나 일반적으로 활성가스인 $CO_2$를 사용한 GMA용접은 아크가 불안정하고 스패터가 많이 발생한다는 단점이 있어 아크 안정성 개선의 필요성이 부각되었다. 거기다 용접 자동화 및 용접 품질의 고급화 추세로 아크 안정성이 $CO_2$용접에서 점점 중요해지면서, 아크 안정화 및 스패터 저감을 위한 연구가 활발히 진행되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 GMA 용접 재료인 solid wire의 표면에 이온화 에너지가 낮은 금속인 인듐(In)을 전해 도금하여 중전류의 $CO_2$ 용접에 적용하였다. 고속 촬영과 아크 모니터링 분석을 통하여 금속 이행 모드 및 아크 안정화에 미치는 영향에 관하여 연구하였다. 동일 전압, 전류 조건에서 도금 두께를 달리하여 용접을 실시, 도금 두께에 따른 아크 안정성의 경향을 분석하였다. 그 결과 도금 두께가 두꺼워짐에 따라 아크가 넓어지는 것을 확인하였으며, 이는 아크 내에 이온화도가 높은 인듐 이온이 다량 포함됨으로써 이온의 양이 증가하기 때문인 것으로 생각된다. 또한 도금 두께가 일정 이상이 되면, 이행 모드가 용적의 아래에서 아크가 발생하는 반발 이행 모드에서 용적의 윗부분에서 아크가 발생하는 입상 용적 이행 모드로 바뀌었으며, 이때 단락 수가 현저히 줄어들어 아크가 안정해졌다. 이에 따라 인듐 도금 와이어는 기존보다 낮은 전류 영역에서도 안정적인 아크와 금속 이행 모드를 가지게 됨을 확인하였다.

무경운 농법은 경작지의 토양을 교란시키지 않고 작물을 재배하는 방법으로, 토양의 물리성 개선과 토양 침식 예방, 생산비 절감 등의 효과가 있어 전 세계적인 인정을 받고 있는 농업기술이다. 그러나 아직까지 무경운의 재배 지속 기간 등 많은 의문이 제기되고 있으며, 국내 환경조건에 맞는 실험적인 연구가 미흡한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 최적관리기법의 하나인 무경운(No-till)을 적용한 밭의 오염물질 저감효과를 장기적으로 살펴보고자 2011년부터 2014년까지 4년간의 모니터링을 실시하였다. 무경운 농법을 적용하기 위하여 동계피복작물(밀, 보리)을 재배작물 정식하기 전해 겨울에 파종하여 이듬해 6월 말 수확하였다. 이후 7월에서 8월 사이 재배작물(들깨, 무)을 정식하였다. 시비는 2011년에는 축산퇴비, 2012년에는 축산액비 그리고 2013년과 2014년에는 화학비료를 시비하였으며, 매년 경운과 무경운의 시비량은 동일하게 처리하였다. 유출 시험포의 면적은 $150m^2$(폭 5 m, 경사장 30 m)이며, 8개(경사도 3% 4개, 경사도 8% 4개)의 시험포를 조성하여 각각 2개씩 경운(관행)과 무경운을 적용하였다. 모니터링은 재배작물(들깨, 무) 정식 이후부터 작물 수확 전까지 강우사상에 대하여 이루어졌으며, 연구기간동안 총 13회의 강우 사상에 대하여 조사를 실시하였다. 경운대비 무경운 시험포의 평균 오염부하 삭감율을 분석한 결과 경사도 3% 시험포의 경우 BOD는 35.1%, $COD_{Cr}$은 37.4% 그리고 영양염류인 TN과 TP는 각각 36.9%와 33.5%가 삭감된 것으로 조사되었으며, 경사도 8% 시험포의 경우 BOD가 36.4%, $COD_{Cr}$은 45.8%, TN과 TP는 각각 45.5%와 40.6%가 삭감된 것으로 나타났다. 우리나라에서는 경운(관행) 농법이 영농관리 차원에서 대부분 이용되고 있으나, 본 연구 결과에 기초할 때 무경운 농법으로 영농할 경우 강우유출수 및 하천으로 유입되는 비점오염부하를 효과적으로 제어할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Oxide coatings are formed on die-cast AZ91D Mg alloy through an environmentally friendly plasma electrolytic oxidation(PEO) process using an electrolytic solution of $NaAlO_2$, KOH, and KF. The effects of PEO condition with different duty cycles (10 %, 20 %, and 40 %) and frequencies(500 Hz, 1,000 Hz, and 2,000 Hz) on the crystal phase, composition, microstructure, and micro-hardness properties of the oxide coatings are investigated. The oxide coatings on die-cast AZ91D Mg alloy mainly consist of MgO and $MgAl_2O_4$ phases. The proportion of each crystalline phase depends on various electrical parameters, such as duty cycle and frequency. The surfaces of oxide coatings exhibit as craters of pancake-shaped oxide melting and solidification particles. The pore size and surface roughness of the oxide coating increase considerably with increase in the number of duty cycles, while the densification and thickness of oxide coatings increase progressively. Differences in the growth mechanism may be attributed to differences in oxide growth during PEO treatment that occur because the applied operating voltage is insufficient to reach breakdown voltage at higher frequencies. PEO treatment also results in the oxide coating having strong adhesion properties on the Mg alloy. The micro-hardness at the cross-section of oxide coatings is much higher not only compared to that on the surface but also compared to that of the conventional anodizing oxide coatings. The oxide coatings are found to improve the micro-hardness with the increase in the number of duty cycles, which suggests that various electrical parameters, such as duty cycle and frequency, are among the key factors controlling the structural and physical properties of the oxide coating.

Rechargeable battery such as lithium-ion battery has been noticed as a kinds of the energy storage system in the recent energy utilization and widely used actually in various small electronic equipment and electric vehicles. However, many thermal runaway caused battery accidents occurred recently, which still is obstacle for advanced application of lithium ion battery. One of the main differences to general fires is the existence of ionized electrolyte with electron during combustion. Therefore, we simply simulated the ion addition effects of battery fires by introducing an ionized fuel in jet diffusion flames. When the ionized methane through a corona discharge was used as fuel, the overall flame stability and shape such as flame length showed no significant difference from normal methane flame, but NOx and CO emissions measured at the post flame region decreased. The ion addition effect of methane oxidation was also numerically simulated with the modeling of hydrogen addition in the mixture. It was confirmed that the hydrogen addition at a fixed temperature had a similar effects on ionization of methane and hence could be modeled successfully.

In old days when there were no developed producing devices like today, all the scholars insisted that we should economize products and that will lead to economic stability of a nation. But the in case of Mozi, he criticized the ruler's extravagance and wastefulness. He tried to prove the result and its' effect on national economy and people's usual life. He also tried to protect and improve people's fortunes and productivity through his theories. He is one of the first scholars who thought about the relationship between labor cost, price theory and product circulation. His theories are in the book of Mojing. He thought that material condition makes a great impact on the people's ethical life and social systems. He devoted his life to improve his theory- if the nobility do not waste and exploit; the national economy will be developed. In Mozi's Economical theory, we can find out his love for the people and desire for the people's welfare.

The numerical analysis to predicting the electrokinetic remediation behavior on unsaturated soil is carried out by aiding HERO, Hanyang Unversity Electrokinetic Remediation program, developed from the finite difference method and in the VISUAL FORTRAN environment. The analysis for the pure kaolinite under saturated conditions is performed on the results of the previous study of Acar (1997). Also the predictions to the characteristics of electrokinetic remediation on unsaturated conditions are performed and the conclusions summarized as follows. First, pH of the electrolyte in the reservoirs is not different with the degree of saturation resulted from the changes in electrical efficiency. But the advance of acid front is increased dependent on the degree of saturation in contrary to the transportation of base front. Second, below the degree of saturation of 83%, which is equivalent to the optimum water content, the removal effect increased with the decreasing of degree of saturation. But it have no effect on the efficiency of removal over the degree of saturation of 83%.

In this study, the electrochemical performance of a 5-layer fuel cell stack using silica composite membranes as polymer electrolyte membranes was evaluated. It was observed that the flow rate of the fuel gases plays a crucial role in stack performance, particularly being mainly dependent on the flow rate of hydrogen. Increasing the flow rate of oxygen resulted in negligible changes in performance, whereas an increase in the flow rate of hydrogen demonstrated performance improvements. However, this led to an imbalance in the ratio of hydrogen to oxygen flow rates, causing significant degradation in stack performance and durability. A decline in stack performance was also observed over time due to the degradation of stack components. This phenomenon was consistently observed in individual unit cells. Based on these findings, it was emphasized that, in addition to optimizing the performance of each component during stack operation, it is important to optimize design and operating conditions for uniform flow rate control. Lastly, the developed silica composite membrane was assessed to have sufficient performance for application in actual fuel cell systems, exhibiting a performance of over 25 W based on maximum power.

This study was carried out to investigate the relation between surface acidity and interfacial electrical characteristics of surface-treated ${\gamma}-alumina$ whose surface activity was increased. The points of zero charge (P. Z. C.) of ${\gamma}-alumina$ whose surface is treated with the sulfuric, nitric and hydro-chloric acid of various concentration were measured from the site-binding theory and mass transport method. The surface active sites were measured by amine titration method and Hammett indicator method. The interfacial properties at alumina/KCl(aq) interface were measured by potentiometric titration. From the experimental results, the following results were obtained. Pure ${\gamma}-alumina$ surface acidity decreases with the increase of calcination temperature at strength $H_o{\leq}+9.3$ Surface-treated alumina acidic properties increase with the anion loading on alumina surface. The surface ionization constants decrease with anion loading on alumina surface, then P. Z. C. decreases with acid amount on alumina surface. Acid amount of surface treated alumina can be correlated with surface charge density at strength $H_o{\leq}+4.8$ as follows. $SO_4^2-/Al_2O_3:Q_A=-0.172ln(0.0418{\sigma}+1.448)$ $NO_3^-/Al_2O_3:Q_A=-0.024{\sigma}-0.0189$ $Cl^-/Al_2O_3:Q_A=-0.01{\sigma}-0.2006$.

Current methods of measuring the sediment concentration of natural streams can be affected by weather conditions and have lower reliability in bed-load sections due to mechanical limits. Theoretical methods have to be used to solve this problem, but they have low reliability compared to the measured values and diverse results for the bed-load sediment concentration. This study proposes a new way to reliably determine the bed-load sediment concentration from the relation with theoretical depth-integrated concentration based on the informational entropy concept. Sediment distribution shows a uniform probability distribution under maximized entropy conditions under some constraints, so a function can be calculated for the sediment distribution and depth-integrated concentration. The parameters of a stream were estimated by a nonlinear regression method using the concentration data from a past experiment. Equilibrium N (EN) was estimated using the relation between two different formulas proposed in this study, which can ease the estimation of both the total sediment distribution and depth-integrated sediment concentration with high reliable results with an average R2 of 0.924.
