DNA-based studies, including cloning and genotyping, have become routine in fungal research laboratories. However, preparation of high-quality DNA from fungal tissue requires much time and labor and is often a limiting step for high-throughput experiments. We have developed a quick and safe (QS) DNA extraction method for fungi. Time efficiency and safety in the QS method were achieved by using plate-grown mycelia as the starting material, by eliminating phenol-chloroform extraction procedures, and by deploying a simple electric grinder. This QS method is applicable not only to a broad range of microbial eukaryotes, including true fungi and oomycetes, but also to lichens and plants.

Water treatment processes produce sludges resulting from water clarification. Sludge production amount increases each year and its treatment and disposal is growing to social problems according to water demand increase. Water treatment plant sludges can be modified to soil cover in sanitary landfill site through the lime treatment. Compression strength of $1.0kg/cm^2$ or more is recommended for soil cover material in municipal landfilling site. Compression and shear strength properties of modified sludges showed material property improvement applicable for soil cover alternatives. Solidification effect of the modified sludge was observed through the scanning electron microscope. Extraction tests for hazardous components in sludges revealed that extraction levels of cadmium, copper, and lead were below the regulated criteria. When adding 10% calcium hydroxide to water treatment plant sludges, the modified sludges can reach material properties for cover soil after 28 days solidification reaction.

The chemical factory deals with dangerous element and more advance, human-error analyzes and becomes effective research for the country and region. This paper analysis the form of work-miss on human-error according to a safety accident for domestic chemical factory from 1999-2002. It include the present contents and raise issues human knowledge, behavior, judgment, sensibility as an important counter plan that makes the safety solution of work miss. For the point of view of human knowledge, it takes color standard for works to be effective in work place. For behavior, the test has been for risk Point of work place and infra worker movement, also the workers performed professional work as classify according to work. For judgement, the valuation sheet is reflected to minimize the human-error and the 3rd supervisor does a cross-check audit beforehand. For sensibility, it is applicable for human relations, information, communication by program to the consciousness and an attitude of worker-supervisor.

Purpose: It is not easy to suggest a quantitative data related to safety analysis. The objective of this paper is to propose a method of Safety Integrity Level (SIL) analysis and to suggest a SIL analysis result for single station controller in nuclear power plant based on IEC 61508. Methods: The Failure Modes and Effects Diagnostic Analysis (FMEDA) and average probability of failure on demand (PFD) are used for SIL assessment. Results: A SIL of single station controller is evaluated 4 by a reliability analysis results and PFD. Conclusion: A SIL analysis method and result for single station controller based on IEC 61508 are proposed in this paper. It can applicable for a manufacturer data in safety-related system.

This paper proposes an auto-tuning method of feedforward signal in boiler control of thermal power plants by using the neural network. The neural network produces an optimal feedforward signal by tuning the weights of the network. The weights are adapted effectively by using the teaching signal of PI control output. The proposed method was evaluated based on a detailed simulator which expressed non-linear characteristics of the 600 MW actual thermal power plant at load chaning operations, showed effectiveness in the learning of the weights of the neural network, and gave an accurate control performance in the temperature control of the system. Through the evaluation, the proposed method was proved to be effectively applicable to the actual thermal plants as the automatic adjustment tool.

This paper is concerned with estimating the mass of a loose part in the steam generator of a nuclear power plant. Although there is the basic principle known as “Hertz Theory”for estimating mass and energy of a spherical part impacted on an infinite flat plate, the theory is not directly applicable because real plants do not comply with the underlying ideal assumptions. (Say, the steam generator is of a cylindrical and hemisphere shape.) In this work, a practical method is developed based on the basic theory and considering amplitude and energy attenuation effects. Actually, the impact waves propagating along the plate to the sensor locations become significantly different in shape and frequency spectrum from the original waveform due to the plate and surrounding conditions, distance attenuation and damping loss. To show the validity of the present mass estimation algorithm, it has been applied to the mock-up impact test data and also to real plant data. The results show better performance comparing to the conventional Hertz schemes.

This technology Provides an economical Production of high value added goods applicable to electro chemicals by recycling of waste products in EGL(Electro Galvanizing Line). The waste products produced in EGL contain potassium chloride (KCI), nickel and zinc. Highly pure KCI and Zinc Chloride which are raw material of electro plating, can be produced by the development of the recycling process. The scope of this study ranges from laboratory experiments to pilot test in plant. We have developed the whole process of recycling technology such as purification method of waste products, fabrication methods of electro chemicals, basic design of plant, pilot scale production and evaluation of pilot goods, Developed electro chemicals were pure enough to satisfy the specification of steel company.

A simulation model for the transient behavior of CANDU U-tube steam generator(UTSG) has been developed for application to the simulation of operational transient behavior of CANDU nuclear power plant. For application to CANDU UTSG. tile design characteristics of CANDU UTSG such as Wolsong Units, feedwater inlet near the tube sheet. is approximated. For realistic prediction of thermal hydraulic behavior of and tube bundle region is divided into two separate control volumes, subcooled region and saturated region. and the variation of thermal hydraulic properties within a control volume is considered. Test results for typical CANDU operational transient case show reasonable transient behavior of steam generator and considered to be applicable to the simulation of overall plant.

Rhizome rot of ginger, caused by Pythium myriotylum, a major limiting factor for its production, has occurred annually, but become severe, especially in hot and humid years with frequent rainfalls in Korea. Most studies on rhizome rot have been carried out since 1980s in the National Institute of Agricultural Sciences and Technology, Honam Crop Experimental Station and Choongnam Provincial Rural Development Administration. Many aspects of rhizome rot, such as survey of the disease incidence, taxonomy, pathogenicity and physiology of pathogen, and ecology of soilborne inocula have been studied in the researches. However, intensive studies have been concentrated on management technologies of the disease including seed-rhizome disinfection, soil sterilization, evaluation of cultivar resistance, and fungicide application, and most developed technologies have been used in commercial farmings. In future, development of resistant varieties and simple soil disinfection technologies applicable in Korean condition and economically feasible fungicide application technology have to be developed for better management.

The purpose of this paper is to develop systematic analysis and automatic tuning rule of PID controller for industry servo applications. Considering the coupling of inner current control loop and speed loop delay, the target plant fit into second-order plus time delay model. Based on PID controller design for high-order plus known/unknown time delay plant model, some formulars are provided for the control gain calculation and system-based theoretical analysis is developed, and it also allows an automatic controller setup to benefit the inexperienced user. In addition, the proposed design rule gives uniformly satisfactory performance and the motor speed stays on a desired response curve with minimal oscillation and settling time. This approach can be applicable in conjunction with the cascaded control loop which is widely used in practice.
