The reduction of $Hg^{2+}$ in the aqueous phase results in the production of dissolved gaseous mercury(DGM), and the volatilization of DGM has been identified as an important mechanism for the loss of Hg from waterbodies to the atmosphere. Although mercury emission in the world is known to be mostly from Asia, there have been few studies of measuring DGM concentrations in lakes in Asia. In this study, DGM concentrations were measured at Juam reservoir($35^{\cir}00'N,\;127^{\circ}14'E$), Korea. The results showed that the average concentrations of DGM at the upper and down stream of the lake during summer time were $95{\pm}8\;and\;130{\pm}15$ pg/L, respectively and the concentration of total mercury(TM) at the upper and down stream was $2.1{\pm}0.7,\;1.7{\pm}0.3$ ng/L respectively. Average DGM concentration during summer time($101{\pm}14pg/L$) was approximately 5.5 times higher than that during fall($18{\pm}0.1pg/L$). The DGM concentrations ai the midstream decreased from 32 to 13.7 pg/L during rain event, while the TM concentrations increased from 2.2 ng/L to 2.7 ng/L indicating the deposition of mercury from the atmosphere. Also, the diurnal patterns between DGM concentrations and UV intensities were observed. Water temperatures and DOC concentrations were significantly related to DGM concentrations, while TM concentrations were negatively related to DGM concentrations(p<0.0001). Comparing with the study of Dill et al.,(2006) the average concentrations of DGM $(109{\pm}15pg/L)\;and\;TM(2.2{\pm} 0.4ng/L)$ at Juam reservoir were approximately 3 and 2.2 times higher than those measured in other lakes(DGM: $38{\pm}16pg/L$, TM: $1.0{\pm}1.2ng/L$).

Long-term measurement of total mercury (TM) and dissolved gaseous mercury (DGM) were performed in Yangsuri marsh. Average TM and DGM concentrations were $2.0{\pm}2.0$ ng/L and $15.0{\pm}2.8$ pg/L, respectively, indicating that only 2.6% of TM existed as the form of DGM in Yangsuri marsh. While TM did not show the seasonal variation a statistically high DGM concentration was observed in warm season, indicating that DGM was effectively produced by strong solar radiation and high water temperature. There was no relationship between TM and DGM concentrations in Yangsuri marsh, as observed in other studies. DGM in Yangsuri marsh was supersaturated for most of sampling period; therefore, one can conclude that $Hg^0$ in water surface can readily volatilize to the atmosphere.

DGM은 상온에서 휘발성을 가지는 수은의 독특한 화학적 성질 때문에 쉽게 대기로 방출될 수 있고, 대기 중으로의 DGM 방출은 수체 내 수은의 유일한 제거 기작일 뿐만 아니라, 고정상으로 존재하던 수은이 다시 이동상의 수은으로 변화하는 중요한 과정이다. 본 연구는 2005년 8월과 10월에 주암호를 대상으로 실시간 자동분석 장치(Tekran 2537A)를 이용하여 DGM 농도변화를 관찰하였다. 전반적인 주암호(n=23)의 여름철 평균 BGM 농도는 110 ${\pm}$ 21 pg $L^{-1}$으로 기존에 발표된 국외 호수에서의 DGM 농도보다 약 3배정도 높았다. 강우에 따른(강우량 : 0.4 mm) DGM 농도 변화는 비가오기 전 89 pg $L^{-1}$ 에서 비온 뒤 89 pg $L^{-1}$ 으로 약 9%가 증가했다. 그러나 가을철 평균 DGM 농도(n=21)는 20 ${\pm}$ 0.4pg $L^{-1}$ 로 여름철보다 약 5.5배 감소했고, 비가 내리는 날씨에서의 DGM 농도는 13.7 pg $L^{-1}$ 로 맑은 날 같은 시간에 비해(32 pg $L^{-1}$) 약 58% 감소했다.

The effects of UV wavelength and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) on the formation of dissolved gaseous mercury (DGM) were investigated in a controlled environment. To remove any other influences than UV wavelength and DOC, purified water was used as the working solution. DGM was instantly produced with irradiation of all UV lights even without DOC; whereas, there was no noticeable increase of DGM during irradiation of visible light. The amount of formed DGM increased as the DOC concentration increased even in dark conditions; however, UV-B irradiation significantly promoted DGM production with DOC present. The rate constants of reduction ranged from $1.4{\times}10^{-6}s^{-1}$ to $3.5{\times}10^{-5}s^{-1}$, with the lower values occurring under the dark condition without DOC and the higher values resulting under UV-B irradiation and high DOC concentration. However, DGM production was not linearly correlated with the DOC concentration at higher range of DOC in this study. Future studies should investigate the effects of DOC concentration on mercury (Hg) reduction over the broad range of DOC concentrations with different DOC structures and with other influencing parameters.

In this paper, the combination effects of oxygen component in fuel and exhaust gas recirculation on the exhaust emissions have been investigated for a direct injection diesel engine. It is a kind of effective oxygenated fuel of diether group that the smoke emission of DGM(diethylene glycol dimethyl ether) blended fuel is reduced remarkably compared with commercial diesel fuel, that is, it can supply oxygen component sufficiently at higher loads and speeds in diesel engine. But, NOx emission of oxygenated fuel was increased compared with commercial diesel fuel. Also, the effects of exhaust gas recirculation(EGR) on the characteristics of NOx emission has been investigated. It was found that simultaneous reduction of smoke and NOx was achieved with oxygenated fuel(DGM 5vol-%) and cooled EGR method(10∼15%).

경사면의 잠김과 드러남(wetting and drying)에 대한 천수방정식의 수치 실험으로서 그 전선 근처에서 수심이 매우 작은 경우, 수심이 작을 때 2차 정확도를 위한 MUSCL의 적용 여부, 그리고 마찰 적용의 한계 수심 등에 대해 수심경사법(DGM)과 수면경사법(SGM)을 비교 검토하였다. 먼저, 포물선형 융기에서 정상상태의 기준해와 비교하고 하류에서 배수(drain)가 되는 경우를 상정하였다. 그리고 삼각형 바닥 턱을 지나는 댐 붕괴 흐름에 대한 실험의 결과와 비교하였다. 마지막으로 유사난수 발생에 의한 불규칙 바닥 구간을 지나는 가상 댐 붕괴 흐름에 대해 모의하였다. 정상 상태의 잠긴 바닥(wet bed)에 대해 정수 상태에서 SGM의 선평형성(well-balancedness)이 만족되었으나, 흐름이 상류와 사류일 때 각각 DGM과 SGM에서 유량 변동이 있음을 확인하였다. 드러난 바닥(dry bed)으로 흐름이 진행될 때 수심이 음의 값이 되지 않도록 잠김 드러남 전선근처에서 수심이 매우 작아지는 경우($<1{\times}10^{-6}m{\sim}1{\times}10^{-5}m$) 수심을 0으로 강제하고, n이 0.011과 0.04인 경우 수심이 각각 $1{\times}10^{-4}m$와 $1{\times}10^{-2}m$보다 작은 경우 마찰의 적용을 배제하는 것이 불가피하였다. SGM에 의한 MUSCL에서 수심이 $5{\times}10^{-5}m{\sim}5{\times}10^{-2}m$보다 작을 때 1차 정확도로 회귀가 불가피하였으나, DGM에서는 그와 같은 정확도의 훼손이 나타나지 않았다.

The discontinuous Galerkin method (DGM) has become widely used as it possesses several qualities, such as a natural ability to dealing with discontinuities. DGM has its major success related to fluid mechanics. Its major importance is the ability to deal with discontinuities and still provide high order of approximation. That is an important advantage when simulating cracking propagation. No remeshing is necessary during the propagation, since the crack path follows the interface of elements. However, DGM comes with the drawback of an increased number of degrees of freedom when compared to the classical continuous finite element method. Thus, it seems a natural approach to combine them in the same simulation obtaining the advantages of both methods. This paper proposes the application of the combined continuous-discontinuous Galerkin method (CDGM) to crack propagation. An important engineering problem is the simulation of crack propagation in concrete structures. The problem is characterized by discontinuities that evolve throughout the domain. Crack propagation is simulated using CDGM. Discontinuous elements are placed in regions with discontinuities and continuous elements elsewhere. The cohesive zone model describes the fracture process zone where softening effects are expressed by cohesive zones in the interface of elements. Two numerical examples demonstrate the capacities of CDGM. In the first example, a plain concrete beam is submitted to a three-point bending test. Numerical results are compared to experimental data from the literature. The second example deals with a full-scale ground slab, comparing the CDGM results to numerical and experimental data from the literature.

In this paper, we present a new lifetime prediction model for PMOSFET by using the correlation between transconductance degradation and substrate current influence. The suggested model is applied to a different channel structured PMOSFET, dgm/gm of both SC-PMOSFET and BC-PMOSFET appear with one straigth line about Qbib, therefore, this model is independent of channel structure. The suggested model is applied to a different drain structured SC-PMOSFET. Unlike S/D structured SC-PMOSFET, dgm/gm of LDD structured SC-PMOSFET appears with one straight line about Qb, therefore, this model is dependent of drain structure.

Estimates were made of genetic parameters for average daily gain (ADG) and average backfat thickness (ABF), and of the effect of sex on estimates of variance-covariance components for average daily gain of boars (DGM) and gilts (DGF) and average bacfat thickness of boars (BFM) and gilts (BFF) by residual maximum likelihood (REML) under a bivariate animal model. Data included a total of 2233 records (757 for boars and 1476 for gilts) of the Large White breed born between 1981 and 1986 in Miyazaki and Iwate prefectures in Japan. Heritability estimates for ADG and ABF were 0.43 and 0.69, respectively, with a genetic correlation of -0.08. Heritability estimates for DGM and DGF were 0.54 and 0.46, respectively, with a genetic correlation of 0.79, including that the two traits are influenced by similar but not identical genes. Respective estimates for BFM and BFF were 0.71 and 0.72 with a genetic correlation of 0.95, indicating that identical genes influence backfat thickness in boars and gilts.

최근 세라믹 막은 우수한 화학적, 열적 안정성으로 기체 분리 공정에 각광을 받아 왔다. 특히 혼합기체에서 고 순도의 수소를 분리해 내는 기술은 연료전지 공정에서 화학 에너지를 전기화학 에너지로 전환시키는데 중요한 역할을 차지한다. 본 연구에서는MTES 템플레이팅 막을 이용하여 이 막 공정의 흡착 및 투과 특성을 규명하고, 이성분 혼합기체에서 고 순도의 수소를 추출해 낼 수 있는 최적 조건을 도출해 내었다. 또한, 기체 분리 거동을 살펴보기 위해 Gproms Dynamic Simulator를 이용하였으며, 이때 기체상의 물질전달을 모사하기 위해 Dust Gas Model(DGM)을, 표면 확산 거동을 모사하기 위해 Generalized Stefan-Maxwell(GSM)식을 적용하였다. 이를 통해 평형론적 흡착 뿐 아니라 속도론적 흡착을 동시에 적용할 수 있게 하였다. MTES 템플레이팅 막의 흡착 및 분리능을 규명하기 위해 본 연구에서는 혼합기체의 투과, 분리 실험이 선행되었다. 실험 조건은 온도범위 323$\sim$473 K, 압력범위 0$\sim$7 atm에서 수행되었으며, 혼합기체는2성분으로 수소-메탄, 수소-이산화탄소, 수소-질소로 기체의 구성비는 각각 50:50 이다. 본 연구를 통해 각 혼합 기체들이 정상상태에 도달하는 시간과 분리능을 계산해 내었으며, 이 분리능을 다시 온도와 압력에 따른 결과로 분석하여 어느 조건에서의 수소 분리도가 최고치를 보이는지를 규명했으며, 시뮬레이션과 비교,대조하여 예측도를 검사하였다.
