Currently, road tunnels and railroad tunnels are building smoke control systems to emit toxic gases and smoke from fires. Among the various smoke control systems, the transverse smoke control system has the disadvantage that air supply or exhaust is performed on only half of the cross-section, rather than air supply or exhaust on the entire cross-section of the tunnel as air is supplied or exhausted by partitioning the wind path. Therefore, this study analyzed the effect of exhaustion through numerical analysis and scaled model tests on the zoning smoke control system, which improved the limitations of the transverse smoke control system. As a result of the scaled model test, the transverse ventilation system exhibited a 25.6% smoke control rate based on the state where no smoke was controled, and zoning smoke control system showed a smoke control rate of 40.8%. In addition, as a result of numerical analysis, it was found that transverse ventilation system did not control fire smoke spreading from the tunnel and continued to spread. On the other hand, zoning smoke control system was found to be smoke controled within a certain section due to the air curtain effect and the flue gas effect.

Eggs are an important source of protein for the human diet. Consumers want fresher, more delicious and more sanitary eggs. In Korea, the Shell Egg Grading system (EGS) was employed in 2001. The portion of graded shell eggs has increased every year, but graded shell eggs account for only 6% of all eggs. The EGS should satisfy producers, distributors and consumers. However, the EGS does not have an official function because of many problems. Consumers cannot select various graded shell eggs in the market, and producers do not receive enough profit even though they produce top-quality graded shell eggs. There are few studies on the EGS, Therefore, this study was performed to improve the EGS. We surveyed the EGS, GP Centers and farmers. Large companies (farmers) are more satisfied than small companies with the EGS. There was a high tendency for the companies (farmers) that are not involved with the EGS to think that graded and ungraded shell eggs are similar, in contrast to the companies (farmers) connected to the EGS. We should have to change the grading system of grade shell eggs, establish of the cold chain system, change of the law for the school meals, minimize payment for the grading shell eggs for developing EGS. Based on this study, the egg industry can benefit through the improvement of the EGS.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to establish the methodology regarding synthesis of ultrasound contrast agent imaging, and to evaluate the characteristics of the synthesized ultrasound contrast agents, including size or degradation interval and image quality. Materials and Methods: The ultrasound contrast agent, composed of liposome and SF6, was synthesized from the mixture solution of $21{\mu}mol$ DPPC (1, 2-Dihexadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, $C_{40}H_{80}NO_8P$), $9{\mu}mol$ cholesterol, $1.9{\mu}mol$ of DCP (Dihexadecylphosphate, $[CH_3(CH_2)_{15}O]_2P(O)OH$), and chloroform. After evaporation in a warm water bath and drying during a period of 12-24 hours, the contrast agent was synthesized by the sonication process by addition of buffer and SF6 gas. The size of the contrast agent was controlled by use of either extruder or sonication methods. After synthesis of contrast agents, analysis of the size distribution of the bubbles was performed using dynamic light scattering measurement methods. The degradation curve was also evaluated by changes in the number of contrast agents via light microscopy immediate, 12 hours, 24 hours, 36 hours, 48 hours, 60 hours, 72 hours, and 84 hours after synthesis. For evaluation of the role as an US contrast agent, the echogenicity of the synthesized microbubble was compared with commercially available microbubbles (SonoVue, Bracco, Milan, Italy) using a clinical ultrasound machine and phantom. Results: The contrast agents were synthesized successfully using an evaporation-drying-sonication method. The majority of bubbles showed a mean size of 154.2 nanometers, and they showed marked degradation 24 hours after synthesis. ANOVA test revealed a significant difference among SonoVue, synthesized contrast agent, and saline (p < 0.001). Although no significant difference was observed between SonoVue and the synthesized contrast agent, difference in echogenicity was observed between synthesized contrast agent and saline (p < 0.01). Conclusion: We could synthesize ultrasound contrast agents using an evaporation-drying-sonication method. On the basis of these results, many prospective types of research, such as anticancer drug delivery, gene delivery, including siRNA or microRNA, targeted molecular imaging, and targeted therapy can be performed.

This study was conducted to compare the mortality number of swine between before and after HACCP implementation on different scales of swine farm. The study was carried out by randomly selected sixty swine farms (twenty small, twenty midium and twenty large scales of farm) located in all around Korea. The results were as follows: In small scale swine farm, The mortality number due to respiratory, diarrhea and accidental death tended to be decreased compared to before HACCP implementation. In the case medium scale farm, the mortality number due to diarrhea significantly decreased after HACCP compared to before HACCP. Also, in both medium and large scale farms, the number of total mortality number significantly decreased with HACCP implementation. We believe that this effect is considered to be due to the operation of the HACCP prerequisite program. We are expecting that our results might be used for producing safer livestock products by improving livestock products HACCP policy.

성능이 우수한 다성분계 전극을 개발하기 위하여 Ru를 주 전극성분으로 Pt, Sn, Sb 및 Gd를 보조 전극성분으로 하여 3, 4성분계 전극의 성능과 산화제 생성량 및 전극 표면 분석을 행하여 다음의 결과를 얻었다. 1. 2분 동안 단위 W당 제거된 RhB 농토는 Ru:Sn:Sb=9:1:1 > Ru:Pt:Gd=5:5:1 > Ru:Sn=9:1 > Ru:Sn:Gd=9:1:1 > Ru:Sb:Gd=9:1:1로 나타났다. Ru:Sn:Sb=9:1.1 전극에서 발생하는 free Cl, ClO$_2$ 및 H$_2$O$_2$농도가 다른 전극보다 높은 것으로 나타나 산화제 생성경향과 RhB 분해율과는 상관관계가 있는 것으로 사료되었다. 4성분계 전극 중에서 Ru:Sn:Sb:Gd 전극의 성능이 가장 우수한 것으로 나타났으나 3성분계 전극인 Ru:Sn:Sb=9:1.1 전극보다 성능이 떨어지는 것으로 나타났다. Ru:Sn:Sb=9:1:1 전극에서 생성되는 산화제 농도가 다른 두 종류의 산화제 농도보다 높은 것으로 나타났고 4성분 전극의 경우 Ru:Sn:Sb:Gd 전극의 산화제 농도가 Ru:Sn:Sb:Gd 전극이 높거나 유사한 경우로 나타나 산화제 생성 경향과 RhB분해 능과는 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 초기 RhB 분해 속도가 높은 전극의 COD 제거율도 높은 것으로 나타났다. OH 라디칼은 발생하지 않지만 염소계 산화제 농도가 높고 RhB제거율이 높아 Ru를 주 성분으로 한 전극의 RhB분해는 주로 간접 산화작용에 의한 것이며, 개발된 3, 4성분계 산화물 전극은 간접 산화용 전극임을 알 수 있었다. 에칭을 하기 전의 Ti판은 표면이 매끄러운 것으로 나타났으며, 35% 염산으로 에칭한 후의 Ti메쉬는 매우 거친 표면조직을 가지는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. Ru:Sn:Sb=9:1:1 전극과 Ru:Sn:Sb:Gd 전극의 SEM 사진을 관찰한 결과 두 전극 모두 전극 물질이 균일하게 도포되어 있었으며, 두 전극 모두 열소성을 통해 전극 성분을 코팅할 때 발생하는 "mud crack"이 발생한 것이 관찰되었다 EDX 분석에서 Cl이 관찰되었는데, 전극 성분의 불완전 산화로 인한 비양론적 산화물 때문이며 이는 RhB 분해성능과 관련 있는 것으로 사료되었다.

As a way to improve the quality of life following the increase of the national income, the importance of cultural welfare has been magnified. To actively cope with such a situation of the times, the government has operated the cultural welfare workers system; however, the reality today includes many problems such as lack of reliability and professionalism in the system. Thus, this thesis has as an objective to extract priorities for the improvement of the cultural welfare workers system through analyses of precedents, investigations by professionals and related systems, and to propose measures of improvement. The priorities, in case of higher levels, are in the order of: utilization of manpower, educational curriculum and test subjects, methods of license acquisition and training institution. In order for the cultural welfare workers system to be efficiently operated based on the priorities, the existing system needs to offer state-certified licenses and provide workers with institutional strategies for refresher education and utilization of manpower.

A discussion on false alarm is a series of problems about a waste of police resources. The the false alarm primarily increase machine the cost of security firm but ultimately increase the costs of national and social management. Verified Report System has been in operation since July 1, 2013, We could analyze the actual operation of 112 report on false alarm rate was 82.4% before this system launched, but after implementation of the Verified Report System, this rate level downs below 69.7% records. So 12.7% is declined at the rate of false alarm. However, the actual alarm rate of Electronic Security itself is just only 0.3 % in the total number of cases responding in contrast to Police is considerable. It is more urgent to evolve the Verified Report System, so penalty system against the false alarm, Police registration system of sensors, and strengthening of the task of the company for installation and management of detection equipment are urgently needed.

This paper investigates the characteristics of Japanese vocational education and training(VET) system and its recent changes with regard to the labour market changes under the long-term economic depression. The employment system model of Marsden(1999) is used as an analytical framework. By the review of 'the debate of intellectual skill', it is pointed out that the fundamental characteristic of Japanese VET system lies in forming multi-functional workers by the internal promotion in connection with the OJT-focused enterprise training along the job-competency rank system. In this system 'the skill as work-competency' is not institutionalised. By the long-term depression this type of internal labour market (ILM) has been under serious changes. By the policy analyses it is made clear that the direction of its change is not toward the collapse of the ILM. A series of labor market and VET policies does aim at sustaining the ILM by the introduction of the unified job qualification system, which is expected to institutionalise the widening external labour market into the craft-based labour market.
