생물학적 질소, 인 제거 공정(이하 BNR)의 운전에 있어서 최적 유입수의 C/N(COD/TKN)비, SRT 및 온도의 범위 및 정량적 수치 등은 유기물 뿐 만아니라 질소, 인의 처리 효율에 있어서 매우 중요하다. 특히, 외국과 다른 저농도 유기물 특성을 보이는 국내 하수에 대해서는 BNR 공정의 선택과 설계 및 운전인자의 선별이 무엇보다도 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 연구에서는 IAWQ에서 제시한 ASM No.2d를 기초로 하여 만들어진 전산모형인 Envirosim사의 Biowin 프로그램을 시뮬레이션 도구로 활용하여, 국내 하수에 비교적 적용하기 용이한 A2/O 공정과 MUCT 공정에 대한 유기물, 질소 및 인처리 효율을 비교하고 유입수의 C/N와 SRT 및 온도에 따른 질소, 인 처리 특성과 유출수의 거동 등을 파악하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 국내 하수에서는 A2/O 보다는 MUCT 공정이 질소, 인 처리효율이 더 크게 나타났다. 온도와 SRT가 일정한 상태에서 C/N비는 7이상에서 TKN과 TP제거효율이 양호하게 나타났고, 온도와 C/N비를 일정한 조건에서는 SRT가 7일을 넘어서면 효율이 급격히 낮아지는 현상을 관찰할 수 있었다. 온도조건 실험에서는 $20^{\circ}C$이하, 특히 국내 하수처리장에 BNR 적용시 설게조건인 $13^{\circ}C$에 근접해서는 TKN의 제거효율은 급격히 떨어지는 반면에 인 제거효율이 상승하는 것으로 나타났다.

현대에 이르러 직접방식 엑스선 검출기에서는 기존의 a-Se을 주로 이용하였지만, 고전압 인가에 따른 회로 손상과 짧은 수명, 그리고 누설전류에 따른 안전의 문제 등으로 낮은 에너지 밴드갭과 높은 흡수효율, 비저항 등에 의거한 다양한 대체 물질에 대한 연구가 활발하게 이루어져가고 있다. 본 논문에서는 직접방식 엑스선 검출물질로 전기이동도와 흡수효율이 뛰어나고, 밴드갭이 낮아 태양전지분야 뿐만 아니라 최근 엑스선 검출물질로 각광받고 있는 CdTe를 선정하였다. 연구의 목적은 PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition)방식의 CdTe 검출 물질의 제작과정에서 CdTe가 기화되어 하부전극 기판에 증착될 시, 하부전극 기판 온도에 따른 CdTe의 박막형성과 전기적 측정을 실시하여 그에 따른 최적의 증착조건을 선정하는 것이다. 하부전극 기판으로는 Au/glass를 사용하였으며 증착 시, $200^{\circ}C$, $300^{\circ}C$, $400^{\circ}C$로 나누어 특성을 평가하였다. 시료는 파우더형태의 다결정CdTe를 120 g를 사용하여 증착완료 시, 약 $100{\mu}m$의 박막두께를 구현하였다. PVD증착의 조건으로는 Mo재질의 보트를 사용하였으며, 증착 시 진공도는 $5{\times}10^{-6}$ Torr, 보트온도는 약 $350^{\circ}C$ 소요시간은 5시간이었다. 증착이 완료된 CdTe의 표면구조와 전기적 특성평가를 위해 SEM촬영을 실시하였고, 전기적 특성 평가를 위해 CdTe표면에 Au를 PVD방식으로 증착하였다. 실험 결과 SEM촬영을 이용한 표면특성에서는 하부전극 기판의 온도가 높아질수록 표면 결정입자가 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 전기적 특성에서도 하부전극 기판의 온도가 증가할수록 RQA-5 조건의 70 kVp, 100 mA, 0.03 sec 엑스선에 대한 우수한 민감도와 암전류 값을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과는 증착과정에서 온도에 따른 다결정 CdTe의 표면결정 크기 증가는 동일한 면적에서 표면결정 수의 감소를 뜻한다. 이는 결정간의 경계에서 트랩 되어지는 전자가 감소하고, 전자의 이동도 또한 높은 효율을 나타냄을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구를 통하여 CdTe기반의 직접방식 엑스선 검출기 제작과정에서 증착 시 하부전극기판 온도가 증가할수록 결정의 크기가 증가하여 최적의 전기적 특성을 나타냄을 검증할 수 있었다.

This study was conducted to know the effects of light intensity and temperature on growth of V. fauriei plants. Photosynthesis of V. fauriei had highly significant relations to light intensity and temperature in a quadratic regression model, from which the optimum light intensity and temperature for the plant growth were estimated to be 40,000lux and $17.7^{\circ}C.$ Root was produced less by shading at Jinbu where is located in alpine region, but root yield is increased by shading at Umsong where is located in plane region. Roots were produced more in Jinbu than in Umsong. A highly significant quadratic regression was noted between temperature and leaf width or root weight of V. fauriei. It was estimated from the regression equation that the optimum temperature for root growth was $20.3^{\circ}C.$

As the number of mobile subscribers has increased recently, the demand for more number of base stations has increased. However, because of the shortage of sites for constructing base stations, a mobile communication module needs to be small in size. To minimize the size of the module, the size of the heat sink attached to the outside of the module should be minimized. Furthermore, the temperature of each electronic component of the module should be lower than the allowable temperature so that thermal stability can be maintained. A commercial PIDO (process integration and design optimization) tool PIAnO and a commercial CFD (computational fluid dynamics) tool FLOTHERM are used to minimize the size of the module while the constraints on the temperatures of the twelve electronic components are satisfied. As a result of design optimization, the volume of the heat sink is reduced by 41.9% while all the constraints on the temperature of the twelve electronic components of the module are satisfied.

This study was conducted to determine antioxidant compounds and antioxidant activities of rice bran at temperatures of $10^{\circ}C$, $25^{\circ}C$, and $60^{\circ}C$ using 70% ethanol solution. DPPH, ABTS radical scavenging activities and reducing power have been used to investigate the relative antioxidant activities of extracts. The contents of total polyphenol and total flavonoids in the 70% ethanol extracts were measured by spectrophotometer. The total polyphenol content in the rice bran extracts were 790.39~930.07, 782.71~1,039.57, and 848.22~1,052.96 mg gallic acid eq./100 g in $10^{\circ}C$, $25^{\circ}C$ and $60^{\circ}C$, respectively. Antioxidant activities, such as DPPH, ABTS radical scavenging activity and reducing power, in all cultivars and temperatures was the highest in Cheonghaejinmi rice bran extracted at $25^{\circ}C$. The results obtained in the in vitro models suggest that extracts from rice bran, especially Cheonghaejinmi, has significant health-promoting effects, as it exhibits antioxidant activities.

Perilla plant is a special crop that is used as oilseed and food in Korea. Root lesion nematodes have caused great damage to perilla plants, so for effective management of root lesion nematodes, it is necessary to understand their ecology in perilla. In this study, we investigated the effect of temperature in the development of Pratylenchus penetrans (Pp) and Pratylenchus vulnus (Pv) when the nematodes infected the perilla plant. To estimate the effect of temperature, we assessed the reproduction factor (RF); final population/initial population(Pf/Pi) of these two nematode species. We used perilla plants as inoculated hosts and investigated the density of nematodes at 10 weeks after inoculation. As a result, the RF of Pp was highest at 20℃ (0.41 (1st test), 2.2 (2nd test)) followed by 25, 30, and 15℃. The RF of Pv was highest at 30℃(9.84 (1st test), 31.39 (2nd test)), followed by 25, 20, and 15℃. Comparing the RF by temperature between Pp and Pv, Pv was higher than Pp at all temperatures used in the test. This study showed the optimal development temperature of Pp was 20-25℃ and Pv was 30℃, respectively.

This study found potential ability to generate electric power using difference in water temperature between sea surface water and deep water in the East Sea which includes the East Sea Proper Water with the temperature less than 1$^{\circ}C$ throughout a year without seasonal variation. To quantify the difference in water temperature between sea surface water and deep water in the East Sea. We computed the annual mean ($^{\circ}C$), the annual amplitude ($^{\circ}C$), the annual phase (degree) and the duration time which showed more than 15$^{\circ}C$ temperature difference from the water temperature data using Harmonic analysis during 1961~1997. The best place for generating electric power in the East Sea seems to be the eastward ocean areas (36$^{\circ}$ 05'N, 129$^{\circ}$ 48'E~36$^{\circ}$ 05'N, 130$^{\circ}$ 00E'E) from Pohang city. The annual mean of the difference in water temperature between sea surface water and 500 m depth was 24$^{\circ}$C at the place to generate electric power in August according to the data of 1961~1997. the maximum duration periods with more than 15$^{\circ}C$ temperature difference were 215 days (5/5-12/10) a year in the place mentioned electricity with a stable plan. In the East Sea coastal areas of the Korean peninsula, the average minimum depth to reach the East Sea Proper Water from surface water is 300 m and fluctuates between 250 m and 350 m throughout a year. Further studies could be needed for the utilization of cold water, such as the East Sea Proper Water for energy conversion.
