This paper is concerned with departure passengers' dwell time analysis using real system data. Previous researches emphasize the importance of dwell time analysis from perspective of airport terminal planning and non-aeronautical revenue. However, short-term airport operation using passengers' dwell time is considered impossible due to absence of passengers' behavior data. Recently, in accordance with the wave of smart airport, world leading airports are systematically collecting passenger data. So there is high possibility of analyzing passengers' dwell time with the data stacked in the airport database. We conducted dwell time analysis using data from Incheon Int'l airport. In order to handle passenger data, we adapted clustering algorithm which is one of data mining techniques. As a clustering result, passengers are divided into 3 clusters. One is the cluster for passengers whose dwell time is relatively short and who tend to spend longer time in the airside. Another is the cluster for passengers who have near 3 hours dwell time. The other is the cluster for passengers whose total dwell time is extremely long.

Uptakes of N and P by Phragmites japonica Steudel. are determined in continuous flow tanks as a function of hydraulic retention time (HRT, days) and nutrient concentration (NC). Results show that the uptake was higher at shorter HRT and higher nutrient concentration, and the regression equations were estimated. Mean above ground biomass of Phragmites japonica in the middle reaches of Sagimak stream was 335.92 g/$m^2$, and estimated uptake by this vegetation were 7.31~20.15 NH$_4$-N, 31.15~95.84 NO$_3$-N, and 4.09~11.48 PO$_4$-P mg/$m^2$/day in Sagimak stream, respectively when HRT was 1~5 days. According to this study, it is concluded that Phragmites japonica Steudel. are suitable for water quality improvement of stream through nutrient uptake at short HRT and high concentration.

지표수와 하상 경계층에서 발생하는 흐름 교환은 하천, 호소, 연안, 해안 등 자연계에 존재하는 수환경시스템에서 일반적으로 나타나는 수리학적 특성으로서, 흐름 교환이 발생하는 경계층 아래 하상층 영역을 혼합대(hyporheic zone)라 부른다. 수질오염사고 등에 의해 외부의 오염물질이 하천 내 유입될 경우, 혼합대 흐름에 의해 하상층으로 침투되고 지표수 대비 유속이 느린 하상 내 공극 흐름에 의해 거동함에 따라 이들의 하천 내 체류시간이 증가하게 된다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 지표수와 하상 흐름을 연계한 수치해석 방법을 적용하여 혼합대가 지표수 내 용질 체류시간에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 먼저 연직 2차원 Reynolds 평균 Navier-Stokes(RANS) 방정식과 Darcy 방정식을 연계하여 지표수와 하상 내 흐름을 해석하였다. 지표수 영역은 RANS 방정식을 이용하여 모의하였고, 지표수 흐름해석에서 얻어진 하상의 압력장을 경계조건으로 하여 Darcy 방정식과 함께 하상 내 흐름을 모의하였다. 여기서 하상의 형태는 자연계 하천에서 일반적으로 관찰되는 사련하상(Ripple bed)으로 모사하였다. 이후, 지표수-하상 연계모의를 통해 얻어진 흐름 결과를 바탕으로 지표수-하상 경계층에서 용질거동을 모의하였다. 흐름 모의결과를 과거 실험자료와 비교한 결과, 지표수 영역 내연직흐름 분포를 정확하게 재현하였고, 동시에 혼합대 흐름 구조에 큰 영향을 미치는 지표수-하상 경계층 압력 분포 역시 관측값과 유사하게 나타났다. 용질거동 해석을 통해 얻어진 용질의 체류시간을 분석한 결과, 혼합대 흐름이 고려된 경우(투수성 하상)와 고려되지 않은 경우(불투수성 하상)를 비교했을 때 전자에서 체류시간 분포의 감수곡선이 길어지고 첨두농도가 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 아울러, 지표수 영역의 유입부 경계의 평균 유속이 증가함에 따라 최대 체류시간이 감소하는 것으로 나타났는데, 이는 지표수-하상 경계층에서의 압력 경사가 커져 혼합대 내 유속이 증가함에 기인하는 것으로 분석되었다.

Effects of residence time on the MIT(Minimum Ignition Temperature) in suspended Mg particles are examined by using MIT experimental data and calculation results of terminal velocity. With increasing of the average particle diameter, we were able to identify that MIT of Mg dusts increased and the calculated residence time of particle decreased exponentially. Also, the influence on terminal velocity due to temperature increase increased slightly with increasing of average particle diameter.

The residence time measures the time spent by a water parcel or a pollutant in a given water body. So residence time of water is widely used as an indicator of how a substance will remain in an estuary and it is used to enable comparisons among different water bodies. To estimate residence time of particulate matters from land and aquaculture, EFDC that includes particle tracking model was applied to the Geoje Bay. Modelled average residence time was about 65 days in the inner part. It meant it takes about 2 months for substance from land and aquaculture to be transported to the outside of Geoje Bay. The results indicated that residence time varied spatially throughout Geoje Bay depending on tidal flushing and, in general conditions, tidal flushing exerts the greatest influence to the flushing of Geoje Bay. This reveals relationships between residence times of particulate matters and physical properties of the bay and Geoje Bay is vulnerable to water quality problem.

This study is a descriptive investigation for understanding factors influencing the length of stay in the postanesthesia care unit of elderly patients. Retrospective investigation was conducted on 300 patients aged 65 or older among those who had received an operation under general anesthesia and treated in postanesthesia care unit of hospital C located in Gyeonggi-do, from January 1 to December 31, 2014. The patients' average postanesthesia care unit stay was found to be 48.4 minutes and the 30-59 minute section accounted for the highest part with 58.0%. The postanesthesia care unit stay time according to intra-operative factors showed significant differences depending upon muscle relaxants, transfusion, ABGA, body temperature and total hours under anesthesia. Concerning the post anesthesia care unit stay length according to post-operative factors, significant differences were observed depending upon complications, PCA device, and circulatory drug use. In order to find out factors influencing the post anesthesia care unit stay length, the multiple regression analysis was conducted. As a result, the circulatory drug use and intra-operative lower body temperature were found to have an effect on the post anesthesia care unit stay length with the total explanatory power of 13%. Based on these findings above, it is deemed helpful to carefully monitor factors related to the post anesthesia care unit stay length and provide swift response accordingly for shorter post anesthesia care unit stay time of elderly general anesthesia patients.

Pilot scale system was designed to identify the growth and movement of algae, depending on environmental changes(retention time, nutrient concentration, etc) in Gangjeong-Goryeong Weir of the Nakdong River. Considering the stability of algal culture and easy observation of algal growth, pilot scale system was made of transparent acrylic material(3 sets of flexible cylindrical water tanks with 1 m diameter and 4 m height). Auxiliary equipments include light intercepter, water inflow device for different water depth and storage of reclaimed water. The retention time was 2 days(before construction of weir; treatment 1), 8 days(after construction of weir, 2013; treatment 2) and 30 days(2014; treatment 3). According to the water temperature of treatment 1 were similar by depth, treatment 3 showed a difference between the surface(0 m) and bottom(4 m) more than $3^{\circ}C$. DO, pH showed relatively high in the surface than the bottom. Nutrients showed eutrophic condition in all experiments. The Chlrophyll-a concentration of the treatment 1 showed a relatively lower value than the Chlrophyll-a concentration of the treatment 2 and 3. Therefore, the retention time was considered to influence the growth of phytoplankton.

Experiments for autotrophic denitrification were performed using an upf10w reac1.or packed with sulfur particles as an electron donor. The influent $NO_3{^-}$-N concentration was kept almost constant, but the hydraulic retention time(HRT) and temperature varied. Results of the research showed that the denitrification efficiency and gas generation rate decreased as the HRT and temperature were reduced. During the HRT effect experiment, alkalinities of 3.44~5.71g, with an average of 4.67 g which is close to the theoretical value of 4.57g were consumed for each gram of $NO_3{^-}$-N removed. During the temperature effect experiment, however, the values were 6.58~13.41 g with an average of 9.12 g which is almost twice the theoretical value Denitrification along the length of the reactor appeared to be a first-order reaction with a reaction rate constant of 0.1648/hr. On the other hand, the sulfate generation showed a zero-order reaction with a reaction rate constant of 241/hr. There was some discrepancy in the nitrogen mass balance between the theoretical and measured values, requiring further researches.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of hydraulic retention time (HRT) on removal efficiencies of organic matter, nitrogen and phosphorus in MBR-RO process for treating synthetic sewage. In MBR process, turbidity was less than average 2 NTU and average removal efficiency showed more than 99% during the operation period(MBR 105 day). As a result of HRT variation, average removal efficiencies of $COD_{Cr}$ on HRT 6, 12, 18 and 24hour were about 72.4, 84, 88.6 and 92.5%, respectively. The $NH_4{^+}-N$ removal efficiency was about 60.2 85.5, 91.3 and 92.2%, respectively. T-N and T-P removal efficiencies increased from 53.7 and 56.8 to 82.5 and 86.4%, respectively as the HRT increased from 6 hour to 24 hour. In RO process, average removal efficiencies of color and $COD_{Cr}$ in RO permeate were about 99.9% and 96.8%, respectively. Also, removal efficiencies of T-N, $NH_4{^+}-N$, $NO_3{^-}-N$ and T-P were all above average 90%.

We investigated gas residence time and mixing characteristics due to various swirl numbers generated by normal injection of secondary air to a lab-scale cylinderical combustor. The residence time was estimated by measuring the temporal pressure difference which was caused by deposition of test particles on a filter media after the injection by a syringe. The mixing characteristics were evaluated by standard deviation value of test gas concentration at different measuring points. The test gas concentration was detected by a gas analyzer. The swirl number of $20{\sim}30$ for ${\theta}=5^{\circ}$ caused long residence time enough to improve mixing characteristics. Numerical calculations were also carried out to understand physical meanings of the experimental results.
