As post-harvest processes of onions are carried by a 20 kg-net package which results in high-cost and low-efficiency, especially, the insufficient drying and physical damage of onions after harvesting leads to a huge second loss in storage, we had developed a low-cost, high-efficiency post-harvest bulk handling machinery system by collecting onions on a farm using ton-bags, drying with forced air circulation, and sorting/packaging. The post-harvest bulk handling machinery system consisted of 6 devices, and this study designed an automatic feed hopper with a feeding rate control device, an inclined belt conveyor with a two-step chute, and an automatic pallet unloading device for feeding onions into the sorting/packing line. This study also analyzed the performance and control of the total system. The device had 1-ton handling capacity, but the operational condition was set to increase the capacity. The three-step filling method of pallet by the velocity control of the inclined belt conveyor was applied in the post-harvest bulk handling machinery system for the prevention of physical damage. If one worker was set to operate the total system, the time required to complete one palletized load was approximately 5 minutes and 5 seconds. The calculated daily handling capacity was approximately 94 tons, when the daily actual working time was 8 hours. When the developed system was applied to the managerial size of 2,000 ton, the processing cost per ton of the system was decreased by 19.5%, compared with the existing 20 kg-net package-based handling. The developed post-harvest bulk handling machinery system would be a good substitute for the rapid decline and aging of rural labor.

Purpose: Postharvest handling of onions (harvesting, cleaning, grading, cooling, storing, and transport) should be performed continually to reduce costs and improve quality. The purpose of this study is to a) determine the design parameters and operating conditions of anion auto-dumping that constitutes a key component of the postharvest bulk handling machinery system, and b) to perform a performance test with the auto-dump prototype system. Methods: Kinematic analyses and computer simulations of the auto-dump mechanism were applied to analyze the operating conditions and design parameters. Results: The optimum working condition for the auto-dump was determined from kinetic analyses. In addition, the interaction between the velocity of the hydraulic cylinder and the angular velocity of the auto-dump were analyzed in order to control the bulk handling machinery system. The acting forces and optimum operating conditions of the hydraulic cylinder were determined by analyzing the forces related to the mass of inertia of the auto-dump assembly during rotation. The method of controlling the feeding rate of onions in terms of the uniformity of the stacking pattern and the control of the entire system was better than the two-stage method of controlling the rotational speed of the auto-dump. Based on the performance test with the prototype for the auto-dump, the stacking pattern and rigidity of the system were analyzed. Conclusions: These results would be of great importance in the postharvest bulk handling machinery system for onions.

Numerous experiments with a scaled pilot facility were carried out to compare the relative bulk transfer performance of three special devices for applications to drilling systems. The pipe diameter for bulk transportation was 3 in., which corresponds to around half of the actual system dimensions. Two different pressures, 3 and 4 bar, were considered to check the relative performance under different pressure conditions at a bulk storage tank. And to make a practical estimation method of the bulk transfer rate at the early design stages of the bulk handling system, a series of experiments were conducted for real scaled bulk handing systems of two drilling vessels. The pressure drops at each pipe element as well as the bulk transfer rates were measured under different operating conditions. Using the measured results, the friction factor for each pipe element was calculated and a procedure for transfer rate estimation was developed. Compared to the measured transfer rate results for other drilling vessels, the estimated transfer rates were within a maximum 15% error bound.

부산항은 세계 주요 항만에 비해 컨테이너화물 취급 중심의 기능을 수행하는 항만이며, 기피화물과 같은 일반화물의 취급 비중이 매우 낮은 항만이다. 즉, 2008년도에 1,329만 TEU의 컨테이너화물 처리실적을 기록한 부산항은 전체 컨테이너화물 중량은 1억 1,305만 톤에 달하지만, 일반화물의 중량은 1,531만톤으로 컨테이너화물 비율이 88.1%를 차지하였다. 그러나 기피화물의 유치 및 취급 증대를 통해 부가가치를 창출할 시점에 와있다. 본래 기피화물은 처음부터 기피화물은 아니었다. 어떻게 보면 국가 기간산업에 반드시 필요한 전략물자로서 매우 중요한 고부가가치 화물이었다. 그런데 취급하다 보니 컨테이너화물에 비해 환경문제, 취급상의 특수성, 수급불안으로 인한 수지타당성의 불확실성 등으로 인해 기업(선사 포함)은 취급을 꺼려하여 기피화물이 된 것이다. 그러나 현재 기피화물로 분류된 품목 등은 국가 기간산업에, 또는 국민생활에 반드시 필요한 전략적인 물자이다. 또한 현시점에서 어떻게 보면 고부가가치화물이다. 따라서 기피화물 유치 마케팅을 통한 기피화물 취급 증대와 이를 효율적으로 취급하여 줄 수 있는 체제, 즉 전용항만부두의 건설과 시설 및 장비의 현대화, 품목별 물류단지의 조성을 통한 보관 취급 장소의 안정적 확보, 효율적 정보처리, 유관기관간의 SCM구축을 통한 긴밀한 협조가 필요한 시점이다.

The objective of this study was to develop a portable auger for handling rough rice in bulk. For this purpose, a system analysis was taken for the systems of harvesting, drying, storage and transportation of rough rice and an optimal handling capacity of portable auger was determined. Then a portable auger of which capacity is 9.2 $m^3/h$ (Indica type rough rice, 19.5%, w.b.) was designed and manufactured by design requirements and tested. Test results showed that the performance of portable auger developed satisfied most design requirements.

여러 과정을 통해 만들어진 수많은 데이터는 효율적으로 관리되기 위해서 DBMS의 도움이 절대적으로 필요하다. 네트워크 내부 또는 외부에서 오는 이러한 데이터는 실시간 또는 일괄적으로 데이터베이스에 삽입(insertion)이 된다. 다량의 데이터 삽입은 흔히 개별적인 DBMS에서 지원하는 특정 대용량 로딩 또는 삽입기능을 통해 수행된다. 본 논문에서는 다층 구조로 구성되어 있는 이기종 시스템의 대용량 데이터 로딩을 분석하고 평가하며 프로그램 삽입에서의 DBMS 대용량 로더의 결과와 비교한다. 또한 대용량 로딩의 성능을 쉽게 향상 시킬 수 있는 staging 데이터베이스를 사용한 하이브리드 방법을 제안한다.

A port has been regarded as a significant contributor to air pollution in the surrounding areas. Port-related air pollutants are released from not only marine vessels, but also various land-side sources at ports, which include cargo handling equipment, vehicles, locomotives, and fugitive dust sources by port activities such as bulk handling and vehicle movements. However, most studies in Korea have only focused on vessel emissions and there is a lack of information on the emissions from other sources at port. In this study, in order to establish the port-related emission inventory and evaluate the relative contribution of these sources to air emissions from the Port of Incheon, the emissions from land-side sources were estimated and the CAPSS (Clean Air Policy Support System) data for vessel emissions were used. In particular, the detailed information and activity data for the cargo handling equipment source were collected and the emission factors and emissions by equipment types were calculated using U.S. EPA methodologies. Total HC, CO, $NO_x$, $PM_{10}$, and $SO_2$ emissions from port-related sources including the vessel in 2007 were calculated as 229 ton/year, 638 ton/year, 4,861 ton/year, 307 ton/year, and 3,995 ton/year, respectively. It was found that the vessel was the largest contributor to air pollutant emissions from the port, the cargo handling equipment was responsible for about from 8% to 13% of HC, CO, and $NO_x$ emissions and the resuspended road dust contributed about 39% for $PM_{10}$ emissions. The results of this study will be used to establish the management and reduction strategies of air pollution in the port.

In the recent years, major ship registers have demanded improved safety on the hull stress of large bulk carriers which are on navigation or cargo handling in harbour. Under these circumstances, a system that monitors hull stress and ship condition is being more and more important. If efficient and appropriate navigational information is given, safety of navigation would be greatly improved. The major ship registers of the globe are investing a great effort on the development of a system that monitors the hull stress of ship. Using this system, information of hull stress and ship motion is given to the users and also the data is stored on the external data storage system simultaneously. Through this study, a software that monitors hull stress was developed. Not only can randomized input-data of the standard hardwares be applied to the system, but also this system can be operated on and applied to real hardware systems.
