  • This study practically investigated the effects of the newly developed isolation-heat paints applied into the buildings and the roads in Japan. After 1970 since the gravitation of population toward the cities has got more deeply involved due to the development of industries, the increased paved roads and the heats come out from the industrial chimneys cause the heat island effect. The dark colored paints on the roads and the stagnations of air blocked by large buildings turned out to be also the main reasons for the heat island effect. Therefore, in order to cool down the heats accumulated in buildings and roads, the developed isolation-heat paints applied into several different regions and the decreased temperatures and heats were accurately measured and reported.

  • The pathological condition of excessive melanogenesis causing freckles, melasma, senile lentigo, pigmented acne scars, and cancer has a critical impact on the wellness of individuals. The mechanism of melanogenesis is related to the expression of melanogenic enzymes. Here, we evaluated the inhibitory effect of pine cone (Pinus densiflora) extracts on melanogenesis. P. densiflora, the Korean Red Pine, is the predominant tree species in the cool, temperate forests of northeast Asia, occurring in pure stands across Korea, Japan, and parts of northern China and Russia. P. densiflora leaves, pollen, and bark have been widely used for traditional medicine, or edible purposes. However, pine cones are rarely used as natural raw materials, although they contain many bioactive phytochemicals. The pine cone ethyl acetate fraction (PEF) showed no toxicity to B16F10 cells at a concentration of less than $100{\mu}g/mL$. PEF inhibited the expression of microphthalmiaassociated transcription factor (MITF), tyrosinase and tyrosinase-related factors in B16F10 cells treated with 3-Isobutyl1-methylxanthine (IBMX). These results suggest that pine cones can be used as an effective natural melanogenesis inhibitory agent.

  • Pinus densiflora, the Korean Red Pine, is the predominant tree species of the cool, temperate forests of northeast Asia, occurring in pure stands across Korea, Japan, and parts of northern China and Russia. Pinus densiflora leaves, pollen, and bark have been widely used for traditional medicine, or edible purposes. However, pine cones contain many bioactive phytochemicals, but they are rarely used as natural raw materials. This study was conducted to evaluated the anti-inflammatory effect of pine cone extracts and its possbility of natural sources were evaluated. Pine cones were extracted with 80% methanol, concentrated and then partitioned with ethyl acetate, and the organic layer was used as a sample. The Pine cone Ethyl acetate Fraction (PEF) showed no toxicity to RAW 264.7 cells at a concentration of less than $50{\mu}g/ml$. PEF inhibited the production of nitric oxide (NO) in RAW 264.7 cells treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Also, It suppressed the expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and transcription of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-${\kappa}B$). These results suggest that pine cones can be used as an effective natural material for anti-inflammatory agent.

  • The process of separating oxygen and nitrogen from the air is mainly performed by electric liquefaction, which consumes a lot of electricity, resulting in higher operating costs. On the other hand, when used for cold energy of LNG, electric power can be reduced compared to the electric Linde cycle. Currently, LNG cold energy is used in the cold refrigeration warehouse, separation of air-liquefaction, and LNG cold energy generation in Japan. In this study, the system using LNG cold energy and the Linde cycle process system were simulated by PRO/II simulators, respectively, to cool the elevated air temperature from the compressor to about $-183^{\circ}C$ in the air liquefaction separation process. The required amount of electricity was compared with the latent heat utilization fraction of LNG, the LNG supply pressure, and the LNG cold energy usage. At the air flow rate of $17,600m^3/h$, the power source unit of the Linde cycle system was $0.77kWh/m^3$, compared with $0.3kWh/m^3$.

  • Our HI monster sample is a set of local HI-rich galaxies identified by the ALFALFA survey (Arecibo Legacy Fast Survey ALFA) at z<0.08. Intriguingly, they are also found with a relatively large molecular gas reservoir compared to the galaxies with similar stellar mass and color, yet their star formation rate is quite comparable to normal spirals. This makes our HI monsters good candidates of galaxies in the process of gas accretion which may lead to the stellar mass growth. One feasible explanation for their relatively low star formation activity for a given high cool gas fraction is the gas in monsters being too turbulent to form stars as normal spirals. In order to verify this hypothesis, we probe the molecular gas kinematics of 10 HI monsters which we observed using the Atacama Large Millimeter/sub-millimeter Array (ALMA). We utilize the tilted ring model to investigate what fraction of the molecular gas in the sample is regularly and smoothly rotating. In addition, we model the molecular gas disk using the GALMOD package of the Groningen Image Processing System (GIPSY) and compare with the observations to identify the gas which is offset from the 'co-planar differential rotation'. Based on the results, we discuss the possibility of gas accretion in the sample, and the potential origin of non-regularly rotating gas and the inefficient star formation.

  • 환기는 자연환기와 강제환기로 분류되며, 최근에는 하절기에 작업장의 환경개선을 위해 냉각된 공기를 공급하는 환기를 적용하는 경우가 많아지고 있다. 하지만 대규모의 작업장에 냉각된 공기를 공급하기 위해서는 많은 에너지가 필요하며, 이를 보완하기 위해 물의 증발열을 이용하여 공기를 냉각시킨 후 공급하는 환기장치의 도입사례가 증가하고 있으며, 본 실험연구는 부산의 모 신발공장에 실제 적용된 기화방열식 환기장치의 성능을 평가한 사례연구로서 하절기에 외부의 대기온도에 대해 어느 정도의 냉각능력을 구현할 수 있는지 측정하였다. 실험결과로부터 하절기에 약 $6{\sim}7^{\circ}C$ 정도의 냉각효과를 구현하지만 급기의 상대습도가 매우 높아짐을 정량적으로 측정할 수 있었다. 실험결과에 의하면 기화방열식 전체환기 설비가 타방식과 비교하여 작동방식이 단순하며, 에너지 소비가 적은 경제적인 냉각설비이며, 급기의 습도 제어기능만 부가되면 매우 효율적인 환기 - 냉각기능을 동시에 수행할 수 있는 설비임을 확인하였다.

  • 인천 영종도 남부 해안충적평야의 퇴적층을 대상으로 화분분석을 실시하였다. 시료채취 지점(해발고도 7.2m)은 현재 냉온대 중부 낙엽활엽수림대에 속한다. 화분분석에 의해 밝혀진 조사지역 일대의 약 8,900yrBP 이후의 후빙기 환경변화는 다음과 같다. JS-I기(약 8,900~8,500yrB.P.)는 Pinus와 Quercus가 우점하고 일부 Abies와 Picea가 포함된 냉온대 북부의 침활혼효림 시대로서 후빙기 초기의 화분대인 RI대에 대비된다. 이 시대는 현재에 비해 상대적으로 한랭 건조 했다. JS-II기(약 8,500~4,000yrB.P. 어느 시기)는 Pinus가 우점하는 침엽수림시대로서 후빙기 중기 화분대인 RII대에 대비된다. JS-III기(약 4,000yrB.P.경)는 Pinus, Quercus 및 Carpinus가 우점하는 침활혼합림 시대이다. JS-II기와 JS-III기는 JS-I기 보다 상대적으로 온난 습윤했으며, 현재의 기후환경과 유사했을 것으로 생각된다. JS-IV기(약 4,000~900yrBP의 어느 시기)는 Pinus가 우점하는 침엽수림시대로서 후빙기 후기 화분대(RIII) 중에서 RIIIa에 대비된다. JS-V기(약 900yrB.P.~현재)는 2차림인 Pinus가 우점하는 침엽수림시대이다. 이 시대는 수목화분보다 초본화분의 출현율이 높고, 초본류 중에서 Fagopyrum 화분이 연속적으로 출현하는 점 등을 고려할 때, 인간간섭대인 RIIIb에 대비된다. JS-V기부터 조사지역 일대의 거주민들은 본격적인 농경생활을 했던 것으로 생각된다.

  • Time series of ocean climate indices and catch records were used to identify the alternation patterns of pelagic fish populations in relation to climate regime shifts. During 1910-2008, an orderly alternation of dominant pelagic fish groups was observed in the Tsushima Warm Current (TWC; Yellow Sea-East China Sea-East Sea/Japan Sea) and Kuroshio-Oyashio Current (KOC; Northwestern Pacific) regions. After the collapse of herring fishery in the late 1920s, the sardine (A group) dominated in the 1930s, 3 other species (C group; Pacific saury, jack mackerel, and anchovy) dominated in the 1950s-1960s, chub mackerel (B group) dominated in the 1970s, and then sardine (A group) dominated again during cool regime in the 1980s. As sardine biomass decreased in association with the climate regime shift that occurred in the late 1980s, catches of C group immediately increased after the regime shift and remained at high levels during warm regime in the 1990s. Alternations of dominant fish groups occurred 6 times between 1910 and 2008. The dominant period of the 7 species lasted for 10-20 years. The catch of Pacific sardine in the TWC and KOC regions showed a negative correlation with the catch of the other 5 species (Pacific herring, anchovy, jack mackerel, Pacific saury, and common squid), suggesting that the abundance of the 5 species is strongly affected by the abundance of Pacific sardine in relation to the climate regime shifts. The total catch level of the 7 species in the KOC region was generally higher than that in the TWC region before 1991 but was lower after 1992, suggesting that the fish populations in the Pacific side are shifted to the TWC region by zonal oscillation of the oceanic conditions in relation to the climate regime shift in the late 1980s.

  • 동북아시아 냉온대림역의 해안사구에 발달하고 있는 해안사구임연식생인 해당화군목의 군락체계에 대한 식생학적 연구가 수행되었다. 현재 해당화군목은 동북아시아 임연식생의 최상위 계급인 찔레꽃군강에 귀속되어 있으나, 군락체계적으로 애매한 문제점을 내포하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구는 찔레꽃군강과 해당화 군목의 식물사회학적 군락체계 및 한국과 일본의 해안사구에서 조사된 해당화군목 197개의 균질한 releve를 이용하여 수행되었다. 해당화군목의 군락체계 분석에는 상재도, 빈도 및 순기여도가 이용되었다. 해당화군목은 그 상급단위로 결정되어 있는 찔레꽃군강과는 명확히 구분되어 해당화군목의 찔레꽃군강으로의 예속은 부적절하였다 따라서, 해당화군목의 식생학적 군락체계는 재고되어야할 것으로 생각되며, 그것은 난온대형 해안사구관목식생을 특징짓는 순비기나무군강에 대응되는 군락유형으로 판단된다.

  • Emotional interest in the 1970s, Japan started from the technical and engineering beyond the scope, period late structuralist entering the world has been the subject of interest, as well as in academic research is becoming the main theory. In addition, communication between various disciplines such as humanities through the study of consilience and fusion, the human life to continue as a subject, its importance has risen. So this study are to design for the study of emotion through the human heart in space and how the expression of emotions and can be validated in a study. GSD to evaluate the action (verb) and emotional words (adjective) related to two variables to measure the degree of correlation coefficient was an experiment to find out. Picasso painting, it is 'difficult to understand', 'special', 'interesting', 'not interested', 'confused', 'fun', 'anxious', 'dark', 'cool', 'hard' to have relevance, such as the distribution of emotional words, and as a result of the move was a lot of work. This result can be obtained through the arcane resistance of the cubist paintings that make a lot of body movements. In Renoir painting 'stable', 'warm', 'soft', 'easy to understand', 'bright', 'boring', 'curious', such as emotional words ranged to have a relationship with this behavior is less motion in space. This result can be obtained through the understanding of the Impressionist paintings that are less body movements. As a result, space design, emotional design in the evaluation (GSD) for the empirical analysis that evaluated the feasibility and future of the emotional space of the design could be based in the area is considered.
