The former researches on earthwork automation were mainly focused on GPS and sensor application, environment modelling, equipment path planning, work information management, and remote control etc. Recently, reducing $CO_2$ emission becomes one of main focuses for an automation research. In the case of earthwork operations, many kinds of construction machines or robots are involved, which can cause high level of $CO_2$ in a construction site. An effective earthwork plan and construction machine operation can both increase productivity and safety and decrease $CO_2$ emission level. In this research, some automation concepts for green earthworks are suggested such as a 3D construction site model, a 3D earthwork distribution based on two different earthwork methods, and an earthwork package construction method. A excel-based simulator is developed to generate the 3D earthwork distribution and to estimate the level of $CO_2$ emission for the given earthwork.

Representing protein three-dimensional structure by concatenating a sequence of protein fragments gives an efficient application in analysis, modeling, search, and prediction of protein structures. This paper investigated the effective combination of distance measures, which can exploit large protein structure database, in order to construct a protein fragment library representing native protein structures accurately. Clustering method was used to construct a protein fragment library. Initial clustering stage used inter alpha-carbon distance having low time complexity, and cluster extension stage used the combination of inter alpha-carbon distance, Binet-Cauchy distance, and root mean square deviation. Protein fragment library was constructed by leveraging large protein structure database using the proposed combination of distance measures. This library gives low root mean square deviation in the experiments representing protein structures with protein fragments.

LFG는 약 4,500kcal/$m^3$의 높은 발열량을 가지는 에너지원으로 활용이 가능한 동시에 GWP가 21인 $CH_4$를 제거함으로써 탄소배출권(CERs) 확보를 통해 CDM 또는 ET 시장에서 유리한 위치를 선점할 수 있다. LFG의 활용기술에는 발전과 중질가스 및 고질가스 형태의 연료로 생산하는 방식이 있다. 하지만 기존의 기술은 LFG의 발생량이 일정규모 이상인 매립지에서 경제성을 가지기 때문에 국내에서는 14곳의 대형 매립지에서만 에너지원으로 활용하고 있다. 그 외 중소규모 매립지에서는 대기중으로 방출하거나 소각하여 처리하므로 가용한 에너지원이 버려지고 있을 뿐만 아니라 지구온난화에 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 중소규모 매립지에서 발생하는 LFG를 경제성을 가지는 에너지원으로 활용하기 위하여 하이드레이트화를 이용한 $CH_4$ 분리, 정제, 수송 연구를 진행하였으며, 이러한 연구의 일환으로 pure $CH_4$를 대상으로 하이드레이트 형성 시 구동력(driving force)에 따른 induction time, growth rate, gas consumption 측정을 통하여 LFG를 이용한 가스 하이드레이트 생산을 위한 운전조건 선정을 위한 기본 자료로 사용하고자 한다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the association of twinkling artifacts according to the types of urinary stones in color Doppler ultrasound. For two types of urinary stones with different colors, the degree of occurrence of color Doppler twinkling artifact in water tank was analyzed, and the surface condition and composition of the stones were analyzed. The composition of Calcium and phosphorus were the most frequent components in white and brown stones excluding carbon and oxygen. Twinkling artifacts of color Doppler appear stronger in brown stone. The higher the phosphorus content of the stones, the shorter the twinkling artifact appears, so it is possible to predict the main composition of stones.

Space Layout has been an issue in the facet of reducing the co2 in that the transportation sector has been to represent almost more than 20% of the total energy consumption for decades. Beside the development of the more efficient transportation systems, an efficient space layout makes it possible to reduce the amount of energy consumption in the transportation sector through allocating the sub-spaces in such an arrangement of minimizing the travel distances. In line with this thinking, this research aims at implementing a simulator which can calculate the vehicle-based travel distance upon a certain space layout. Based on the findings that the vehicle-based travels take place between the two functionally related sub-spaces, this research addresses a method of calculating the vehicle-based travel distance by multiplying the traffic volume of each sub-spaces by the travel distance to the other connected sub-spaces.

저발열량 석탄가스의 thermal/fuel NOx 생성특성과 화염 안정성을 규명하기 위한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 저발열량 합성 연료 가스는 일산화탄소, 수소, 질소 및 암모니아를 천연가스 연료와 동일한 입열량을 가지도록 혼합하여 만들었고 , 합성가스는 평면 화염 버너를 공급하여 태웠다. 특정한 합성가스에 대해 당량비를 변화시켜 가며, 비화 또는 역화에 의한 화염안정성을 규명하였고 안정된 화염 영역을 정의하였다. 저발열향 합성가스의 연소시 발생하는 thermal 및 fuel NOx를 측정하여 천연가스 연소시의 경우와 비교하였다.

국내에서 발생되는 폐기물을 이용하여 가스화에 의해 생산되는 합성가스의 생산 및 활용기술에 대해 고찰하였다. 폐기물 가스화에 의해 생산되는 합성가스의 조성은 CO, $H_2$를 주성분으로 하며 부분산화 조건에 $CO_2$가 함께 생산된다. 생산된 합성가스는 CO $20{\sim}35$%, $H_{2}$ $20{\sim}35$% 정도의 조성으로 나타나며 발생량은 $1,365{\sim}2,125$ $Nm^3/hr$로 나타났다. 이러한 합성가스는 스팀생산, 전력생산 및 DME, SNG, 메탄올, 수소와 같은 고부가가치의 화학원료를 생산할 수 있다.

The objective of this study is focused on the analyzing combustion, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon emission characteristics of marine diesel oil, utilized for naval propulsion engine, with varying pre-post injection timing of an optically accessible single cylinder engine. And also the combustion process is analyzed by means of a high speed camera visualization. On the result of retarding pre-injection timing toward main injection timing, the mean effective pressure and maximum pressure of combustion chamber are increased; however, the heat release rate is decreased. Furthermore, the emission rates of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon are reduced in this case. In hence, when a post-injection timing is advanced, the mean effective pressure and maximum pressure are increased, because the combustion has been performed under the high temperature and high pressurized environment during main injection time, and the emission rates of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon are increased. From the experimental results, it considered that retarding of pre-injection timing affects to shorten the ignition delay of main injection clearly, and to raise the flame intensity comparing to the advanced state. The ignition delay during post-injection is not appeared at any post-injection time, but the flame intensity has been weakened gradually according to the retarding of post-injection timing.

In case of a fire inside a tunnel, unlike ordinary roads, it is very difficult for a driver to obtain visibility, and a large accident is highly likely to occur. In this study, the smoke behavior, visible distance, and CO concentration of a jet fan were analyzed using the NIST fire simulation (FDS). All analyses were set to HRRPUA (Heat Release Rate Per Area) 3.6MW/m and all the analysis times were set to 600s. In all analyses by CFD, the results were confirmed at y=30m and y=110m, and smoke behavior analysis, visible range analysis, and carbon monoxide concentration were confirmed according to the diameter and flow rate. As the size and flow rate of the jet fan increased, the visibility distance was high at y=30m, and the concentration of carbon monoxide was also confirmed to be 0 ppm. Therefore, proper setting of the jet fan diameter and flow rate will be an excellent solution for fires in tunnels, and taking refuge at upstream area of a re-ventilated fan can reduce the number of casualties.

To abate the environmental burden derived from the massive generation of cattle manure (CM), pyrolysis of CM was suggested as one of the methods for manure treatment. In respect of carbon utilization, pyrolysis has an advantage in that it can produce usable carbon-based chemicals. This study was conducted to investigate a syngas production from pyrolysis of CM in CO₂ condition. In addition, mechanistic functionality of CO₂ in CM pyrolysis was investigated. It was found that the formation of CO was enhanced at ≥ 600 ℃ in CO2 environment, which was attribute to the homogeneous reactions between CO₂ and volatile matters (VMs). To expedite reaction kinetics for syngas production during CM pyrolysis, Catalytic pyrolysis was carried out using Co/SiO2 as a catalyst. The synergistic effects of CO₂ and catalyst accelerate the formation of H₂ and CO at entire temperature range. Thus, this result offers that CO₂ could be a viable option for syngas production with the mitigation of greenhouse gas.
