Many incidents of Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning have occurred because of people being unaware of its presence. There are currently available systems on the market, but they are limited to measuring CO in a certain area and lack vital functions. Additionally, little to no evidence-based information on their quality was available. Thus, a mobile application for detecting CO gas leakage in a vehicle and critical features to assist victims was developed. A usability and functionality test were conducted to determine the product's quality utilizing nine usability and six functionality task scenarios (n=5). Then, a System Usability Scale test was performed to obtain system satisfaction, usability, and learnability (n=50). The usability and functionality test shows that all the tasks given for both tests were 100% successful. The overall score obtained for SUS was 71.4, which indicates good acceptance and usability. Around 20% of respondents claimed that they would need the support of a technical person to be able to use the application and that they needed to learn a lot of things before they could use the application, which indicates the overall high learnability of the application. The result provides empirical evidence that the CO gas leakage detection mobile application is successful and receives good usability, functionality, acceptability, learnability, and satisfaction assessments. DetGas could benefit automobile owners and other stakeholders by mitigating the risk and harm associated with gas leaking that exceeds the safe limit.

본 연구는 연안해역에서 발생하는 적조의 현장 제어기술로 전자빔을 이용하고자 적조사멸에 대한 전자빔 조사의 효율성을 평가하였다. Prorocentrum minimum, Prorocentrum micans, Cochlodinium polykrikoides, Heterosigma akashiwo, Alexnadrium catenella의 5종을 실험대상 적조로 선정하여 배양하였으며, 실제 경남 통영(2007. 8. 15)에서 발생한 적조에 대해서도 동일한 실험을 수행하였다. 전자빔 조사선량은 1 kGy, 2 kGy, 4 kGy, 8 kGy로 1 kGy의 전자빔 조사로 50~65%의 적조사멸율을 보였으며, 1일 경과 시 86~97% 사멸하였다. Chlorophyll-a의 경우 조사 즉시 50~64% 감소하고, 1일 경과한 뒤 72~93%의 감소율을 보였다. 또한 전자빔 조사 즉시 S-protein은 28~47%, S-carbohydrate는 16~45% 가 증가하였으며, 1일의 시간 경과 후에는 S-protein이 77~138%, S-carbohydrate가 77~212%까지 증가하였다. 또한 투과 전자현미경을 통해 전자빔 조사 전후의 적조세포 관측을 통하여 세포의 파괴 및 세포내 구성물질의 용출을 확인할 수 있었다. 이렇듯 적조에 전자빔을 조사함으로써 Extracellular Biopolymer에 의한 Flocculation을 유도하여 적조를 침강 제어할 수 있다. 또한 전자빔 조사 전 후 Alexandrium catenella의 PSP(Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning) 패독 분석 결과 1 kGy의 전자빔을 조사함으로써 전자빔을 조사하지 않은 적조 대비 PSP 독성 함량이 48% 감소하여 전자빔조사가 유독적조의 사멸 뿐만 아니라 제독에도 효과가 있음을 알 수 있었다.

The model gas reaction tests were carried out to investigate the purification characteristics of methane on the exclusive catalyst for NGV. The experiment was conducted with the factors which affect the conversion efficiency of methane, such as Redox ratio, coexistence components of CO, MO, $H_2$O, precious metals and additives. The catalyst loaded with larger amount of pd and with additive La showed lower light-off temperature. In the presence of CO and NO, the conversion efficiency of methane was varied according to the kind of additive loaded. The conversion efficiency of methane was dropped for the catalyst loaded with La under lean air-fuel ratio, while it increased for the one loaded with Ti+Zr for the same condition. It was shown that the water vapor inhibited methane from oxidation by its poisoning on the surface of catalyst.

The shipbuilding and offshore industry is a large and complex assembly industry, which causes many safety accidents. The major accidents in the shipbuilding and offshore industry workplaces are stenosis, falling objects, dust, fire, explosions, and gas poisoning. The accident by worker in this industry mainly has three factors: frequent movement, narrow work space, and increased use of subcontractors. To control these factors, it is necessary to monitor the worker's location and work status. In this paper, a worker location monitoring system using inaudible sound wave was designd that can be used in environments with many metal barriers. The process included deriving stakeholder requirements, transforming to system requirements, designing system architecture, and developing prototype. The prototype was validated by third-party testing agency. As a result, it satisfied the designed performance and verified its feasibility.

A supercritical fluid extraction was performed for the extraction of phenolics from grape seeds which up to now have been discarded. The optimum condition for extraction process was predicted through response surface methodology using central composit experimental design. The extraction amount of grape seed phenolics was increased by increasing extraction temperature, pressure, and concentration of co-solvent (ethanol). The optimum extraction conditions were 84.83$^{\circ}$C, 51.50MPa and 1.27% ethanol. The yield of phenolics using SFE was higher with 3 folds than ethanol and 4 folds than hexane but less than 80% methanol. In the respects of food poisoning, the approved solvents were restricted to ethanol and hexane. So, SFE for extraction of phenolics could be powerful alternative method for solvent extraction.

Carbon monoxide(CO) is one of the contamination source in reformed hydrogen fuel with an influence on performance of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell(PEMFC). The studies of CO injection presented here give information about poisoning and recovery processes. The aim of this research is to investigate cell performance decline due to carbon monoxide impurity in hydrogen. Performance of PEM fuel cell was investigated using current vs. potential experiment, long time(10 hours) test, cyclic feeding test and electrochemical impedance spectra. The concentrations of carbon monoxide were changed up to 10 ppm. Performance degradation due to carbon monoxide contamination in anode fuel was observed at high concentration of carbon monoxide. The CO gas showed influence on the charge transfer reaction. The performance recovery was confirmed in long time test when pure hydrogen was provided for 1 hour after carbon monoxide had been supplied. The result of this study could be used as a basis of various reformation process design and fuel quality determination.

저온에서 NOx 저감률이 높은 작은 기공을 갖는 Cu-chabazite SCR 촉매는 150 에서 $300^{\circ}C$ 범위의 낮은 배기가스 온도를 갖는 박용 디젤엔진에 적용성이 높다. 불행하게도, 박용디젤엔진용 연료는 체적베이스로 1.5% 이상의 높은 레벨의 황을 함유 할 수 있다. 이것은 공연비 50:1로 엔진 운전시에 배기가스에 이산화황의 레벨이 500 ppm에 해당된다. 배기가스에 포함되어 있는 높은 레벨의 이산화황은 Cu-chabazite SCR 촉매의 NOx 저감률을 감소시키는 역할을 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 Cu-chabazite SCR촉매의 황 피독에 의한 NOx 저감 성능을 연구하기 위하여 벤치플로 시스템을 구축하였다. Cu-chabazite SCR 촉매를 황 피독 시키기 위하여 5% 이산화탄소, 14% 산소, 5% 물과 나머지 질소로 만들어진 배기가스에 500 ppm의 이산화황을 각각 150, 200, 250, $300^{\circ}C$에서 2시간씩 노출 시켰다. 황 피독후 Cu-chabazite SCR 촉매의 불활성 한계를 측정하기 위하여 저온(150~$300^{\circ}C$)에서 NOx 저감 성능을 평가하였다. 또한, 600 과 $700^{\circ}C$에서 각각 30분씩 탈황 작업을 수행하여, 황 피독된 Cu-chabazite SCR 촉매의 NOx 저감 성능이 회복될 수 있는 온도를 결정하였다.

Objectives: This study was performed in order to report the epidemiological features of a food poisoning outbreak caused by multiple pathogens in a high school in Chungcheongnam-do Province, Korea in April 2019 and to suggest measures to prevent a similar incidence. Methods: A total of 39 patients with diarrhea were examined. Environmental samples were obtained from 6 food handlers, 4 food utensils, 72 preserved foods served during the food poisoning outbreak, 9 door handles, 10 drinking water samples from water dispensers, and 6 ground water samples from water taps. These analyzed to detect viruses and bacteria. Results: Among the 39 patients, 21 cases (53.8%) of enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC), 7 cases of Staphylococcus aureus (17.9%), and 17 cases of norovirus (43.6%) were positive, and in 16 of the cases a co-infection with at least one other pathogen were observed. EAEC was assumed to be transmitted from contaminated drinking water because it was also detected in the water sample from a water dispenser in the dormitory. Staphylococcus aureus was isolated only in the fecal samples of patients, meaning it was not possible to trace its origin. The genotype of norovirus detected in the drinking water and ground water was consistent with that isolated from patients, and it was determined that the norovirus infection originated from the school's water environment. Conclusions: These findings indicate that a lack of environmental hygiene management related to school meals caused the food poisoning incident. In particular, a lack of management of drinking water, water supply, and personal hygiene should be pointed out. This should be urgently addressed and continuous monitoring should be carried out in the future. In addition, students and staff should be educated and trained to improve their personal hygiene.

고분자 전해질 연료전지 구동 시 양극 활성 물질에 대한 CO 피독을 방지하기 위해 Cu를 촉매 활성 종으로 사용하고 반응물의 확산이 용이한 몇 가지 메조 세공 물질을 지지체로 이용하여 CO 선택적 산화 반응(PROX반응)을 실시하였다. 그 결과 거대 세공을 가진 SBA-15를 지지체로 사용했을 때 우수한 CO 산화 활성을 보였으며 특히 Cu 담지 량에 비례하여 활성은 증가하였다. 또한 Cu의 분산도를 높이고자 첨가한 Ti 성분은 저온에서 CO 산화 성능을 높이는데 기여하였다. 특히 Ti 성분을 20 wt-% 첨가한 Cu/Ti20-SBA-15 촉매에서 Cu의 분산도가 가장 우수하였으며 CO 산화활성 역시 개선됨을 확인하였다.
