가공송전선의 수명은 가설 후 경과된 기간(약 36년)으로 정하는 것이 일반적이나 가설된 지역의 환경적 요인이나 전선의 재질상의 특성, 전력공급량 등에 의하여 열화상태가 다양하게 진행된다. 따라서 현재와 같이 모든 전선에 대하여 일정기간으로 정해진 교체 시기는 현실적이지 못하다. 실제로 전선의 단선사고는 경년과 같은 전선의 이력보다는 부식 환경에 노출된 전선의 취약성으로 인하여 초래되는 경우가 많다. 정확한 전선의 수명을 진단하기 위해서는 가공송전선이 노출되어 있는 환경 하에서 경년에 따른 기계적, 전기적 특성의 변화를 조사하여 복합적 인자들을 정량적으로 처리하는 것이 필수적이다.

Heavy metal contaminants on the aquatic environment are of interest because they can have severe effects on economy and public health. Recently, the studies for monitoring of heavy metals try to do on aquatic system to assess safety and health of ecosystem by heavy metals. Thus, biological responses were investigated on Korean fairy shrimp Branchinella kugenumaensis exposed to cadmium (Cd) or copper (Cu) for long-periods (30 days). The survival rate decreased significantly (p<0.05) on B. kugenumaensis exposed to Cd and Cu at all concentrations. Especially, the highest decrease was observed at the relatively high concentration of Cd and Cu (p<0.01) and the response by Cd exposure was at dose-dependent. The growth rates were also decreased significantly (p<0.05) on B. kugenumaensis exposed to Cd and Cu for at all concentrations. Then, the reproduction rate, numbering cyst, was decreased significantly (p<0.01) on B. kugenumaensis after Cd or Cu exposures. Long exposure of the relatively high concentration Cd and Cu can have severe effects on the reproduction, while exposures of Cd and Cu can not have effects on sex ratios of B. kugenumaensis. Additionally, asymmetric telson deformity was only observed after Cd exposure. Therefore, these results suggest that B. kugenumaensis is a sensitive bio-indicator of heavy metal exposure and these biological responses of B. kugenumaensis give important information for long-term monitoring on aquatic ecosystem.

Adhesive shear strengths of the established adhesives and the alternative adhesives were evaluated and their chemical structures were analyzed in order to investigate the possibility of replacing the established adhesives with the alternative adhesives applicable to the seeker for the guided missiles. Two types of the adhesives such as the structural adhesives and the sealant adhesives were considered. Those adhesives were exposed to the combined environmental factors consisting of temperature, moisture and ultraviolet over 1000 hours. Adhesive shear test was conducted to evaluate adhesive shear strengths and ATR FT-IR was utilized to investigate chemical structures. According to the results, the adhesive shear strengths of the alternative adhesives revealed higher than those of the established adhesives. Also the alternative adhesives were more stable to the combined environmental condition than the established adhesives. Therefore, it is found that the established adhesives were able to be replaced by the alternative adhesives.

실제 영상과 가상의 오브젝트 또는 가상의 환경에 오브젝트를 합성하는 경우 등 사실적인 합성을 결과를 얻기 위해서는 실제 환경과 같은 배경 영상의 정확한 광원 정보가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 실내 환경을 배경으로 영상을 합성 하는 과정에 필요한 광원정보를 카메라와 Light Probe를 이용하여 촬영된 단일 영상으로부터 추정하는 기법을 제안한다. 실내에 존재하는 광원들은 정확한 위치정보를 알 수 없는 실외환경에서와 달리 제한된 공간의 원점으로부터 3차원 공간에 위치한 좌표로 나타낼 수 있다. 광원을 추정하기 위해 먼저 실내 공간에 반사도가 높은 Light Probe를 위치하고 디지털 카메라의 적정 노출을 이용하여 광원 추정에 사용할 영상을 획득한다. 광원으로 존재하는 오브젝트의 경우 짧은 노출시간에도 카메라의 영상에 획득된다. 그렇기 때문에 단일 영상에서 광원의 영역을 추정하기 위해 영상처리를 통해 노출 시간을 짧게 하여 촬영한 영상과 비슷하게 밝은 영역만 표현되도록 처리를 한다. 전 처리된 영상으로부터 밝은 영역과 어두운 영역으로 구분을 하고 밝은 영역으로부터 광원의 정보를 추정한다. 추정된 광원들은 실제 렌더링에 곧바로 적용이 가능하며, 이를 통해 배경에 적합한 렌더링 결과를 얻을 수 있다.

In order to estimate chornic toxicity of copper in the juvenile oliver flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus, experiments were investigated the effects of long term sublethal copper exposure on survival rate, metabolic rate, feed efficiency and growth rate. Oliver flounder were exposed for 6 weeks to four different sublethal copper concentration (50, 80, 180, 320 $\mu\textrm{g}$ $L^{-1}$). Survival rate of them significantly affected above 180 $\mu\textrm{g}$ $L^{-1}$, and reduced for increase exposure periods and concentrations. Copper exposure to 180 and 320 $\mu\textrm{g}$ $L^{-1}$ significantly decreased metabolic rate in olive flounder. Exposure to waterborne copper concentrations as high as 80 $\mu\textrm{g}$ $L^{-1}$ resulted in significantly reduced feed efficiency and growth rate. From these results, it could be concluded that the high level of 80 $\mu\textrm{g}$ $L^{-1}$ copper concentration in the bottom water would curtail production of the olive flounder in coastal area.

In spite of high resistant to corrosion and its strength, over the last two decades, concerns still remain about the durability of FRP materials under severe environmental and thermal exposures. In this paper, authors experimentally examine the combined degradation by thermal and chemical attacks in heterogeneous FRP rebar be made up with various fibers and resins. Five types of Carbon, Glass and Hybrid FRP rebars had manufactured by different process and surface patterns are adopted for the experiments such as weight change, interlaminar shear strength, SEM and FT-IR analysis. FRP specimens were immersed in alkaline or distilled solution up to 150 days and then thermal exposed on 60, 100, 150 and $300^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes. From the test results, the degradation of FRP bars are influnced by the resin type and manufacturing process as well as the fiber, and ILSS of exposed FRP bar in solutions is slightly increased in initial stage and then decresed with the passing of immersed time. But, in this test, it is observed that the discrepancy of ILSS between degraded by alkaline solution and distilled water is negligible value.

톨루엔-2,4-디이소시아네이트, 톨루엔-2,6-디이소시아네이트 각각 또는 두 이성체 혼합물(TDI)에 대하여 TLV-TWA는 0.005 ppm, TLV-STEL은 0.02 ppm으로 직업적 노출기준을 권고하고 있다. 본 수치는 호흡기에 대한 영향과 과민성 반응에 대한 높은 발생 가능성을 최소화하기 위한 것이다. 산업현장에서 증기상 TDI 물질은 점막, 호흡기계에 심한 자극을 일으켜 천식과 같은 증후군 등 급성 발작을 유발한다. 고농도에 노출시 심한 기관지 경련, 폐렴, 폐부종, 두통, 불면증과 기관지염으로 이어질 수 있다. TDI에 상당 부분 노출되면 대부분의 사람들은 위와 같은 건강 영향을 경험하게 된다. 심지어 처음 노출되었을 경우에도 발생된다. TDI 노출 관련 연구자들은 일반 근로자들이 0.02 ppm 수준 정도로 가끔 노출되는 경우 건강 영향을 받지 않으나, 0.02 ppm이 무영향 수준으로 간주될 수 있는 그 어떠한 증거도 없다고 결론을 내렸다. TDI에 일단 감작되면 몇몇 근로자들은 노출 중단 후에도 몇 년 동안 건강 영향 증세가 지속된다. 따라서 감작제 표기는 호흡 노출을 통한 알레르기성 감작 증세의 명확한 증거로서 권고된다. A4(비발암성 물질) 표기는 생쥐와 흰쥐들을 대상으로 수행된 위장관 투여 연구와 흡입 연구들을 통해 얻어진 동물 노출 데이터에 근거하여 설정되었다. 불충분한 데이터로 피부 표기는 권고되지 않았다.

Fine-size exposed aggregate portland cement concrete pavements (FEACP) have surface texture of exposed aggregate by removing upper 2$\sim$3mm mortar of surface of which curing is delayed by using delay-setting agent. FEACPs have advantages of maintaining low-noise and adequate skid-resistance level during the performance period than general portland cement concrete pavements. It is necessary to ensure the durability environmental loading to prevent unexpected distress during the service life of FEACP. In the process of curing, volume change accompanied change in by moisture and temperature could be an important cause of crack in concrete to construct for successful FEACP, The use of chloride containing deicer may accelerate defects of concrete pavement, such as crack and scaling. This study aim to evaluate environmental loading resistance of FEACP, based on the estimation of shrinkage-crack-control-capability by moisture evaporation and scaling by deicer in freeze-thaw reaction.

This study aimed to identify the components of the nurses' exposure experiences and clarify the semantic structure of nurses by analyzing the participants' experiences of exposure to radiation. The participants in this study were nine nurses who worked for at least six months in the operating room of a City General Hospital. The data were collected using in-depth interviews and analyzed using the phenomenological method by Giorgi's (2004). As a result, six components were derived: "worrying about the disease by repeated radiation exposures", "exhausting physically and mentally," "trying to protect themselves against radiation exposure", "feeling of internal confusion and conflict", "demanding improvement of work environment", and "accepting and adapting to reality". In conclusion, nurses participating in radiation exposure surgery are concerned about the possibility of disease, experience physical and mental fatigue, and then consider changing their occupation. On the other hand, they try to accept and adapt to reality by considering the possibility of a job change or trying to protect themselves from the harsh environment. To develop a radiologically safe environment, systematic and effective resolutions must be secured at the organizational level.
