  • Social noise survey on multiple residential noises such as nut impact, air-borne, bathroom, drainage and traffic noises was conducted to investigate major variables affecting the overall satisfaction for noise environment The effect of individual noise perception on the evaluation of the overall noise environment was investigated through a questionnaire survey on annoyance, disturbance and noise sensitivity. Auditory experiments was also undertaken to determine noise level according to the percent of satisfaction for individual noise source. As a result of survey, it was found that satisfaction for floor impact noise most greatly affects the overall satisfaction for noise environment and annoyance most greatly affects the satisfaction for individual noise sources. Result of auditory experiment showed that the noise level of floor impact noise by bang machine, airborne, drainage and traffic noise corresponding to 50% satisfaction is 44dB($L_{i,Fmax,AW}$) and 40dBA, respectively.

  • In this study, metrics for evaluation of heavy-weight impact noise were investigated. Heavy-weight impact noises generated by impact ball were recorded in real apartments using binaural microphone. Those sounds were classified into three groups according to frequency characteristics in order to control aspects which affect subjective responses to heavy-weight impact noise. Sound sources for auditory experiment were selected based on the classification result. Then auditory experiments were conducted to investigate the relationship between level indices and subjective responses. The results showed that $L_{Aeq},\;L_{Amax}$ and $LL_z$ as well as $L_{iFmax,AW}$ were highly correlated with subjective response. Therefore, $L_{Aeq}$ and $L_{Amax}$ can be used as metrics for evaluation of heavy-weight impact noise. In further studies, it is needed to verify classification of heavy-weight impact noise generated by bang machine and impact ball.

  • In this study, simplified methods on measurement and evaluation of heavy-wight impact sound was proposed due to provide easy quality control method to construction engineers. The simplified methods include using of rubber impact ball instead of bang machine, reduced number of measuring and impact positions which is prescribed as over 4 points, using of hand-held sound level meter as a frequency analyser and prediction equation for $L_{i.Fmax.AW}$, single number rating, using $L_{Amax}$, and $L_{Lmax}$ at each frequency band. The results showed that a method of boundary driving and boundary measuring is the most similar to the current rating method.

  • 본 논문에서는 AWS형 파력발전 시스템의 최대전력 추종(Maximum Power Point Tracking: MPPT)을 위한 알고리즘 개발 기법에 대한 제안을 하고자 한다. AWS형 파력발전 시스템은 2004년 포르투갈에서 제안된 파도에너지 변환장치로, 해저에 위치하여 전력을 생산하는 특징을 지니고 있다. 파도의 상하 운동에 맞추어 AWS의 주요 부위인 본체가 움직이기 때문에 전력 생산량이 일정치 못하며, 특히 계절 및 환경에 따른 영향을 많이 받게 된다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위한 방법으로, 신재생 발전에서 많이 활용되는 MPPT 제어 기법을 제안하게 된다. 제안된 기법의 활용을 통해 AWS형 파력발전 시스템의 전력 생산성 향상 및 전력 안정도에 대한 연구를 수행하게 된다.

  • This study investigates the relationship between size, illumination ,and display of show window. The average width, heigh, and depth of show windows in Taegu area were 341.3, 233.4, and 125.8cm, respectively. As light source, halogen lamp was most frequently used, followed by fluorescent lamp and incandescence lamp. In the actual illumination, however, a combined use of more than 2 light sources was common. Further, a local illumination method, e.g., spot light, was generally adopted. The thought of employers and employees in fashion shops about display and illumination was examined aw well. On the whole, the necessity and importance of display were well recognized but the fact that the illumination should be hamonized with other factors such as color and arrangement of goods was underestimated.

  • The comparative morphology of epididymal spermatozoa in the lesser white-toothed shrew, Crocidura suaveolens, the Japanese white-toothed shrew, C. dsinezumi and the big white-toothed shrew, C. lasiura, belonging to the subfamily Crocidurinae was studied with the light and electron microscopes. The spermatozoa of C. lasiura and C. dsinezumi were characterized by the large acrosome, serrated inner acrosomal membrane, common apical body and fistulous proximal centriole with slightly dense electron granular materials, which are the charateristics of the Crocidurinae. The C. suaveolens, however, is distinguished from the two species mentioned above in the sperm morphology. That is, the spermatozoa possess not only the charateristic of the Crocidurinae such aw the large acrosome, but also those of the Soricinae, i.e. the smooth inner acrosomal membrane, wavy, finger-like and electron-dense apical body, and the solid proximal centriole filled with electron-dense materials. The results suggest that C. suaveolens has conserved characteristics of the Soricinae.

  • Physicochemical properties of kochujang prepared with different concentration of turmeric were compared. The number of yeast and bacteria in the kochujang were low in the group with more than 1% of turmeric while the amylase and protease activity increased in the group with less than 1% of turmeric. The L- and b-values increased as the concentration of turmeric increased, however a-value decreased. The titratable acidity was low in the high percentage of turmeric added group. Oxidation-reduction potential increased in the later stage of fermentation with decrease in Aw. Reducing sugar and alcohol were high in than higher turmeric added group. Amino- and ammonia-type nitrogen were the highest in the 0.5% turmeric added group. The overall acceptability of kochujang was significantly more favorable (p<0.05) in the 0.25% turmeric added group than over 1% turmeric added one.

  • To establish optimal conditions for esterification by Candida cylindracea, lipase reactions were performed simultaneously, separately, or individually in the varying initial rates of $0.014-0.060\mu$mole free fatty acids consumed min-1g-1. The reactants which were conditioned at aw of 0.12 gave the highest initial rate of esterifying $0.060\mu$mole free fatty acids consumed min-1g-1. These results suggest that the esterifying activity of lipase in an organic system depends on the transfer of available water within the reaction system.

  • New epidemics of infectious diseases often involve health care workers. In this short communication we present a case report of a health care professional who became the first case of influenza H1N1 virus to be notified in the United Arab Emirates. There are several issues related to workplace considerations and general public health, including preventive measures, the need for isolation of the patient, dealing with contacts, return to work, and communication with the workforce.
