This study was conducted in order to understand nutrition teachers (dietitians)' perceptions of barriers to implementation of HACCP system in school foodservices in Gyeongnam, Korea. Questionnaires were distributed to 350 nutrition teachers (dietitians) from November to December of 2009, and 214 were collected and analyzed. The results of this study were as follows. First, nutrition teachers (dietitians) recognized the following as barriers in implementing the HACCP system: 'the status of facilities and utilities'> 'monitoring'> 'work satisfaction'> 'foodservice employees'> 'cooperation of HACCP team'> 'cooperation of persons concerned besides foodservice employees'> 'understanding the HACCP system'. Second, total working experience was found to be the factor most affecting 'cooperation of HACCP team (p<0.01)', 'cooperation of persons concerned besides foodservice employees (p<0.01)', 'foodservice employees (p<0.05)', and 'work satisfaction (p<0.05)'. Further, 'the status of facilities and utilities' was significantly affected by 'construction/reconstruction of kitchen (p<0.01)', 'division of kitchen area (p<0.01)', 'existence of preliminary preparation room (p<0.01)', and 'existence of dishwashing room (p<0.01)'. Third, dietitians perceived the following concerning hindrance factors of the HACCP system according to CCP stage: 'CCP 1'> 'CCP 3'> 'CCP 2, 'CCP 6'> 'CCP 4'> 'CCP 8'> 'CCP 7'> 'CCP 5'. In conclusion, this study showed that nutrition teachers (dietitians) in the Gyeongnam area recognized 'the status of facilities and utilities' from HACCP areas and 'CCP 1 (menu planning)' from CCP stages as the greatest barriers to implementing the HACCP system in school foodservices. To implement the HACCP system successfully in school foodservices, facilities and utilities should be properly equipped, and menu planning training for nutrition teachers (dietitian) should be conducted.

As a core process in the manufacture of state-of-the-art industrial technologies such as semiconductor and LCD, a clean room is the most important process which can affect the performance and quality of products drastically. Nevertheless, scientific research on comprehensive safety measures from a fire protection standpoint is not being carried out in Korea. This study aims to derive measures to improve smoke control systems by identifying performance and problems of smoke systems installed in clean rooms as an LCD manufacturing process and analyzing fire and evacuation simulations considering several scenarios. As a result of analysis of fires and smoke in a clean roomas an LCD manufacturing process, it is found to be necessary to stop air handling units through interlocking in case of a fire and exhaust smoke out of the room through the top of FAB in consideration of buoyancy of smoke. It is also found to be necessary to install quick response sprinkler heads and accessories to accelerate the response time, because the heat-accumulating performance of sprinkler heads decreases in this application. Despite its low density of dwelling due to the automation process, clean room is characterized by an array of complex production equipment and working environment requiring dustproof clothes, which makes it difficult to acquire evacuation safety performance. Thus, thorough control of danger factors in processes and periodic education and training are required. It is also necessary to establish a level of domestic technologies equivalent to the level of standards of advanced countries in fire protection.

Edible insects have recently been increasingly promoted as a source of protein. As the number of farms rearing these insect increases, it is important to develop safe and nutritious feed sources to improve their commercial quality. The aim of the current study was to determine the effect of food by-products as feed supplements for the Korean rhinoceros beetle, Allomyrina dichotoma, which has been registered as a general food ingredient in Korea. We compared the effects of waste citrus peel, soybean curd cake, soybean oil meal, and brewers' dried grain on the growth of third instar larvae of A. dichotoma. Groups of larvae were fed with fermented sawdust and nine different combinations of the above by-products and the effects on their growth were measured until pupation. The highest survival rate was with feed supplemented with 10% brewers' dried grain (66.7%, p<0.05), and these larvae were also 26% heavier (p<0.05) than the control group that received no supplementation. In the 10% brewers' dried grain group, the larval period of third instar was shortened by almost 28 days (p<0.01) compared to the control group. Of all the groups, only that which was fed the brewers' dried grain supplement showed more than a 90% pupation rate (p<0.05). Therefore, brewers' dried grain may be useful as a source of feed for A. dichotoma.

Recently, policies and research to prevent increasing construction accidents have been actively conducted in the domestic construction industry. In previous studies, the prediction model developed to prevent construction accidents mainly used only structured data, so various characteristics of construction sites are not sufficiently considered. Therefore, in this study, we developed a machine learning-based construction accident prediction model that enables the characteristics of construction sites to be considered sufficiently by using both structured and text-type unstructured data. In this study, 6,826 cases of construction accident data were collected from the Construction Safety Management Integrated Information (CSI) for machine learning. The Decision forest algorithm and the BERT language model were used to train structured and unstructured data respectively. As a result of analysis using both types of data, it was confirmed that the prediction accuracy was 95.41 %, which is improved by about 20 % compared to the case of using only structured data. Conclusively, the performance of the predictive model was effectively improved by using the unstructured data together, and construction accidents can be expected to be reduced through more accurate prediction.

The design, construction and performance test of a convenient multi-purpose irradiator is described. A multi-purpose irradiator using Cesium-137 has been developed for studies of low dose radiation effects in biology and for calibration of Thermo Luminescent dosimeter(TLD). During the operation, three rods of radioactive material which are 10cm in length revolve 180 degrees and irradiate biological samples, or TLD, and return to their shielded position, after the programmed time. A programmable Logic Controller(PLC) controls the sequence of operation, interlock, motor rotation and safety system. The rotation speed of biological samples can vary up to 20 RPM. A real time monitoring system was also incorporated to check and control the operation status of the irradiator. The capacity of the irradiation chamber was 4.5 liters. The isodose distribution at arbitrary vertical planes was measured by using film dosimetry. The dose-rate was 0.13 cGy/min in air and 0.11 cGy/min in water equivalent material in the case of Cesium-137. Range of activity was 2 Ci. The homogeneity of dose distribution in the chamber was ${\pm}$7%. The actual radiation level on the surface was within permissible levels. The irradiator had a maximum 0.35 mR/min radiation leakage on its surface.

This study aims to develop a regression model that estimates a low-flow index that can be applied to ungauged basins. A total of 30 midsized basins in South Korea use long-term runoff data provided by the National Integrated Water Management System (NIWMS) to calculate average low-flow, average minimum streamflow, and low-flow index duration and frequency. This information is used in the correlation analysis with 18 basin factors and 3 climate change factors to identify the basin area, average basin altitude, average basin slope, water system density, runoff curve number, annual evapotranspiration, and annual precipitation in the low-flow index regression model. This study evaluates the model's accuracy by using the root-mean-square error (RMSE) and the mean absolute error (MAE) for 10 ungauged, verified basins and compares them with the previous model's low-flow calculations to determine the effectiveness of the newly developed model. Comparative analysis indicates that the new regression model produces average low-flow, attributed to the consideration of varied basin and hydrologic factors during the new model's development.

The monitoring of environmental information (e.g. noise, dust, vibration, temperature, humidity) is crucial to the safe and sustainable operation of a construction site. However, commercial sensors exhibit certain drawbacks when applied on-site. First, the installation cost is prohibitively high. Second, these sensors have been engineered without considering the rugged and harsh conditions of a construction site, resulting in error-prone sensing. Third, construction sites are compelled to allocate additional resources in terms of manpower, expenses, and physical spaces to accommodate individual sensors. This research developed an integrated sensing module to measure the environmental information in construction site. The sensing module slashes the installation cost to 3.3%, is robust enough to harsh and outdoor sites, and consolidates multiple sensors into a single unit. The sensing module also supports GPS, LTE, and real-time sensing. The evaluation showed remarkable results including 97.5% accuracy and 99.9% precision in noise measurement, an 89.7% accuracy in dust measurement, and a 93.5% reliability in data transmission. This research empowers the collection of substantial volumes and high-quality environmental data from construction sites, providing invaluable support to decision-making process. These encompass objective regulatory compliance checking, simulations of environmental data dispersion, and the development of environmental mitigation strategies.

손목관증후군(CTS)이란 장기간에 걸쳐 여러가지 의학적, 생리학적, 직업적 요인들에 기인 하여 발생하는 누적외상병(Cumulative Trauma Disorders: CTD)의 대표적인 한 형태이다. 이 증 후근은 1960년에 국제노동기구(ILO)에 의해 직업병으로 인정되었으며 미국을 비롯한 구미각국에 서는 산업체에서 발생하는 작업손실시간및 산업재해보상으로 인한 경비손실에 중요한 요인의 하 나로 규정되어 이에 대한 예방책의 연구가 정부기관, 대학, 연구소, 그리고 산업체를 중심으로 활 발히 이루어지고 있으나, 우리나라에서는 아직 이에 대한 인식및 예방책에 관한 연구가 미흡한 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 직업적 요인을 중심으로 손목관증후군(CTS)의 발병가능성이 높은 직업 및 그 작업조건들을 고찰하고 이의 예방을 위한 연구방안을 다음과 같이 모색하였다. 첫째, 손목 관증후군에 관련된 문헌조사를 통하여 어떠한 직업들이 보다 높은 발병위험에 직면하고 있으며 어 떤 작업조건및 환경적 요인들이 손목관증후군(CTS)을 발병시킬수 있는가에 대하여 고찰하였다. 둘째, 미국등의 대학및 연구소에서 여러가지 작업조건들을 통제한 실험을 통하여 얻어진 이 증후군 의 발병율을 감소시키기 위한 여러가지 안전한 작업기준들을 검토하고 정부기관(NIOSH, OSHA)의 정책방향을 검토하였다. 세째, 미국의 연구소및 경영자문회사등에서 산업체를 대상으로 시행하고 종합적인 누적외상병(CTD)의 예방프로그램을 검토하였다. 마지막으로, 현재 우리나라의 손목관증 후군(CTS)을 중심으로한 누적외상병의 현실을 검토하고 앞으로의 예방을 위한 연구방향및 방법과 정책적 대응방안등에 대하여 연구검토하였다. 결론을 제시하고자 한다.기서 사용된 아이콘에 대해서만 타당한 것으로 이것을 모든 아이콘에 대해 일반화시키기는 어려우나 이후에 행해질 Icon-based User Interface 분야의 많은 연구들의 기초가 될 것이다. 더불어 아이콘과 관련된 많은 요인들(문화적 영향, 아이콘 색깔, 크기, 아이콘의 위치등이 인식에 미치는 영향)에 대해서도 연구가 행해져야 할 것이다. 확인하고 각각의 기능을 분명히 했다.가 수월하게 하였고 메모리를 동적으로 관리할 수 있게 하였다. 또한 기존의 smpl에 디버깅용 함수 및 설비(facility) 제어용 함수를 추가하여 시뮬레이션 프로그램 작성을 용이하게 하였다. 예를 들면 who_server(), who_queue(), pop_Q(), push_Q(), pop_server(), push_server(), we(), wf(), printfct() 같은 함수들이다. 또한 동시에 발생되는 사건들의 순서를 조종하기 위해, 동시에 발생할 수 있는 각각의 사건에 우선순위를 두어 이 우선 순위에 의하여 사건 리스트(event list)에서 자동적으로 사건들의 순서가 결정되도록 확장하였으며, 설비 제어방식에 있어서도 FIFO, LIFO, 우선 순위 방식등을 선택할 수 있도록 확장하였다. SIMPLE는 자료구조 및 프로그램이 공개되어 있으므로 프로그래머가 원하는 기능을 쉽게 추가할 수 있는 장점도 있다. 아울러 SMPLE에서 새로이 추가된 자료구조와 함수 및 설비제어 방식등을 활용하여 실제 중형급 시스템에 대한 시뮬레이션 구현과 시스템 분석의 예를 보인다._3$", chain segment, with the activation ener

In the railroad rolling stock depot, long-term maintenance tasks is done regularly every two or four year basis to maintain the functionality of equipments and rolling stock body or for the repair operation of the heavily damaged rolling stocks by fatal accidents. This paper addresses the computer simulation model building for the rolling stock maintenance shop for the CDC(Commuter Diesel Car) and Generator Car planned to be constructed at Daejon Rolling Stock Depot, which will be moved from Yongsan Rolling Stock Depot. We evaluated the processing capacity of two layout design alternatives based on the maintenance process chart through the developed simulation models. The performance measures are the number of processed cars per year, the cycle time, shop utilization, work in process and the average number waiting car for input. The simulation result shows that one design alternative outperforms another design alternative in every aspect and superior design alternative can process total 340 number of trains per year 15% more than the proposed target within the current average cycle time.

우리나라의 홍수조절용댐은 총 5개소로 영산강유역에 두 개소와 한강유역에 세 개소가 있다. 한강유역에 있는 세 개소의 홍수조절지용댐은 한강상류의 북한지역에서 발생하는 집중호우에 대비하기 위한 댐으로, 임진강 하류지역의 수해방지를 위한 한탄강댐과 군남홍수조절지(군남댐)가 있으며 북한강 하류와 수도권의 홍수예방을 위한 평화의 댐이 있다. 영산강유역에 있는 두 개소의 홍수조절지는 2006년에 수립한 영산강치수종합대책에서 계획이 수립된 시설로 2011년 4대강 사업의 일환으로 설치하여 K-water에서 운영 중에 있다. 4대강 사업 이전의 영산강유역은 홍수량을 조절할 수 있는 홍수조절용량이 전무했던 실정으로 하도에서 홍수량의 전량을 수용해야했던 홍수에 매우 취약한 하천이었다. 그러나 4대강 사업을 통하여 영산강유역의 4대호를 비롯한 농업용댐의 숭상을 통한 홍수조절용량의 확보와 더불어 나주천변저류지와 담양홍수조절지, 화순홍수조절지를 설치하여 홍수로부터 상대적으로 안전한 하천으로 변모할 수 있었다. 그러나 영산강유역의 다른 하나의 과제는 여전히 남아있다. 우리나라의 하천 중에서 가장 수질이 악화되어 있는 하천이라는 불명예이다. 홍수조절지는 1년 중 3개월에 해당하는 홍수기에 사용할 수 있는 시설로 1년 중 9개월에 해당하는 비홍수기에는 홍수조절지의 효율적인 공간활용을 위하여 주민지원사업 등 다각도로 고민하여 사용하고 있으나 하천 외적인 문제를 수용하는 범주에 머무르고 있다. 하천이 가지고 있는 문제점을 다소라도 해소할 수 있는 목적으로 사용될 수 있다면 하천 외적인 문제를 수용하는 것 보다 하천 내적인 문제를 해소하는 목적으로 사용하는 것이 보다 바람직할 것으로 판단된다. 이를 위하여 영산강의 내적인 가장 큰 문제점은 수질악화로 인한 수질개선이라 할 수 있다. 따라서 홍수기로 한정되어 사용하는 홍수조절지를 해당하천의 내적인 문제를 다소라도 해소할 수 있는 공간으로 비홍수기에 기여할 수만 있다면 비홍수기의 활용목적을 확대하여 다목적조절지로의 변모가 필요하다고 판단한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 영산강유역에 있는 담양홍수조절지와 화순홍수조절지의 두 개소 홍수조절지를 활용하여 영산강 수질개선에 기여할 수 있는 정도를 파악하였다. 비홍수기에 유출량의 일부를 조절지에 담수해 두었다가 수질개선 목적의 희석수로 방류하는 시나리오를 마련하여 시나리오별로 영산강의 수질개선효과를 분석하여 제시하였다. 수질개선효과를 분석하기 위하여 EFDC모델을 구축하고 모델 수행을 위한 시나리오는 조절지의 담수율과 방류량 그리고 조절지의 관리수질조건 등을 이용하여 작성하고 수질예측 결과에 따라 TOC, CHl-a, T-P 수질항목을 대상으로 수질개선효과를 분석하여 제시하였다.
