This study investigated nitrite ($NO_2{^-}$) accumulation due to FA (Free Ammonia: $NH_3$) inhibition in an anaerobic-aerobic-anoxic (AOA) process reactor to mainly treat wastewater containing 302-610 mg/L of $NH_3/NH_4{^+}-N$. Based on an experimental operation focusing on the nitrification, it was observed that $NO_2{^-}$ was accumulated in the aerobic nitrification zone as pH increased, due to inhibition of $NO_2{^-}$ conversion to $NO_3{^-}$ by FA. This result implied FA inhibition to NOB ($NO_2{^-}$-Oxidizing Bacteria) for converting $NO_2{^-}$ to $NO_3{^-}$. The objective of this study is to develop a feasible monitoring procedure for early detection of the FA inhibition toward $NO_2{^-}$ accumulation and poor nitrification. Thus, in order to rapidly assess FA concentrations, an $NH_3$ probe was utilized to measure $NH_3$ concentrations together with applying a simple model prediction using the measured $NH_4{^+}$ concentrations, the Henry's law constant of $NH_3$ and measured pH. The predictive model $NH_3$ levels were verified by a good correlation (89%) with the corresponding measured data, but the model prediction underestimated FA concentrations at less than 7.4 and a little overestimated at pH above 7.5. Interestingly, accumulated $NO_2{^-}$ levels were roughly correlated with FA levels that were observed at delayed time points. This reflects the detected FA levels can be good indicators of $NO_2{^-}$ levels with some delayed time. $NO_2{^-}$ accumulation started at measured FA concentrations of higher than approximately 3 mg/L and ceased below that FA level.

There are two methods to resolve conflicts related to constructions which are through lawsuits and ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution) just like any other conflicts. Along with the special characteristics pertaining to the conflicts related to constructions, the advantages that ADR is in possession of such as its cost, duration and professionalism, resolving conflicts through ADR has been considered to be more logical than any other options recently. In Korea's case at present, the resolution of conflicts regarding constructions through ADR is mostly dependent on administrative mediation or through arbitration. However, in the case of the administrative mediation, its usage rate is very low due to problems caused by problems in its running and effectiveness. In the case of arbitration, the services of the Korean Commercial Arbitration Board is comparatively used more but because of the fact that arbitration relies on a single trial system and the fact that its executive powers while having the same effectiveness as the final ruling does not get acknowledged leads to the phenomena of avoiding its usage. In addition, in relation to the selective arbitration clause, the problem of effectiveness of the arbitrative agreement is becoming a hindrance to the activation and promotion of the arbitration process. Furthermore, in the case where the ordering body is the government, the public servant involved in the case avoiding the arbitration process because of concerns of being penalized by the internal and external audit within the institution is becoming a problem as well. These problems are not only limited to conflicts regarding constructions and there needs to be actions taken to promote the activation of ADR by enacting a basic law. The more important issue at hand however is offering a resolution measure that would be the most appropriate for users and this could probably be done only through actions such as implementing the American partnering system or the dispute adjudication board system so that they can supervise the resolution of conflicts through mediation, arbitration, and assistance as well as offering consultations regarding conflicts related to constructions.

The purpose of this study is systematically to examine the changes that have taken place to the community spaces of apartment complexes in the national capital region of Korea. The methodology used in this study entails analyzing existing research and case studies carried out on this subject matter. Prior to these case studies, an existing study had been made of the chronological changes in policy, related laws and regulations in Korea since the 1960s. This case study presents the component ratio and systematized present situation of community spaces in twenty-two apartment complexes. An analysis of the researching process has revealed the following important factors related to the changes that have occurred in community spaces in apartment complexes. (1) Apartment complexes were originally developed in the 1960s to ease the housing shortage. Because the priority was to solve the housing shortage, community spaces were not widely considered or developed. (2) The standard of community spaces was established as mandatory by law in the 1970s, resulting in the emergence of various facilities that provided community spaces. (3) In the 1980s, various design competitions for apartment complexes were conducted as an attempt to improve residential environments. This process resulted in the development of new characteristic of subsidiary facilities. (4) During the period when housing problems were being addressed in the 1990s, the Community Service Center was added to the welfare facilities for residents. (5) Recently, during the 2000s, an improvement in residential environments has evolved due to the expansion of housing supply and economic growth. The quality of community spaces has therefore improved from the 1960s onward. This study revealed that policy and related laws regarding community space in Korea have been developing in a suitable direction and that the addition of various facilities to community spaces has improved the quality of living environments.

In most democratic countries, influential professional interest groups often become a part of the iron triangle in the policy making process. One of the typical methods by which professional interest groups participate in policy making process may be by having interest group members in the national assembly, who are sympathetic to the group, implementing policies through legislation. In this study we found that from the Constitutional National Assembly through the 18th National Assembly, 147 members of the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea have been ex health care professionals. The research analyzed the roles of these members in health care law amendments as requested by the professional organizations. This study analyzed 11 major cases that involved nullification or amendment of legislations in favor of the healthcare profession, against the basic policies of the government. The study showed that in the 11 major cases, policies were amended in the direction intended by the National Assembly members and other organizations with similar interests, which was against the policy stance of the government. However, these cases did not unilaterally imply that the National Assembly has been captured by the interest groups through the legislators with health care professional background; rather, they should be perceived to be influenced by the exhibited loss of governability by the government in respect to healthcare policy decisions, loss of initiative due to lack of controllability, and reversals and inconsistencies of the policies.

Recently, the brittle materials such as ceramics, glass, sapphire and textile material have been widely used in semiconductors, aerospace and automobile owing to high functional characteristics. On the other hand, it has the characteristics of difficult-to-cut material relative to all materials. In this study, diamond electro-deposited band-saw machine was developed to operate stably using water-coolant type through relative motion between band-saw tool and $Al_2O_3$ material. High densified $Al_2O_3$ material was manufactured by spark plasma sintering method. The bulk density was observed by the Archimedes law and the theoretical density was estimated to be $3.88g/cm^3$ and its hardness 14.7 MPa. From the dicing sawing test of $Al_2O_3$ specimen, behavior of surface roughness and band-saw wear are dominantly affected by the increase of the band-saw linear velocity. Additionally, an continuous pattern type of diamond band-saw was a very effective due to entry impact as a one-off for brittle material.

Capacitive-type humidity sensors with a high sensitivity and fast response/recovery times have attracted a great attention in non-contact respiration biological signal monitoring applications. However, complicated fabrication processes involving high-temperature heat treatment for the hygroscopic film is essential in the conventional ceramic-based humidity sensors. In this study, a non-toxic ceramic/metal halide (BaTiO₃(BT)/NaCl) humidity sensor was prepared at room temperature using a solvent-free aerosol deposition process (AD) without any additional process. Currently prepared BT/NaCl humidity sensor shows an excellent sensitivity (245 pF/RH%) and superior response/recovery times (3s/4s) due to the NaCl ionization effect resulting in an immense interfacial polarization. Furthermore, the non-contact respiration signal variation using the BT/NaCl sensor was determined to be over 700% by maintaining the distance of 20 cm between the individual and the sensor. Through the AD-fabricated sensor in this study, we expect to develop a non-contact biological signal monitoring system that can be applied to various fields such as respiratory disease detection and management, infant respiratory signal observation, and touchless skin moisture sensing button.

A descending lifeline is the only self-escape fire apparatus for fire in high-rise buildings and is installed in most buildings according to fire-fighting law. However, it is difficult to properly use and quickly evacuate during an emergency due to its complex installation methods and procedures, even if users are pre-educated. In this paper, a new one-touch descending lifeline, which simplifies usage procedures and can be used regardless of whether users are educated, is proposed to solve the drawbacks of the conventional descending lifeline. All separate parts that require additional installation are initially assembled in a box, and the concept of a double square linkage is proposed to enable escape in a single motion of pushing the handle attached to the box. Three steps of kinematic design are explored to determine an appropriate configuration of double square linkage, and its dimensions are determined using Matlab and NX CAD software. The proposed all-in-one descending lifeline also follows the enforcement decree of the Fire Control Act, and its feasibility is verified through fabrication.

피해 자료의 부족에 따른 불확실성 뿐만 아니라 시간의 진행에 따른 불확실성을 고려하기 위하여 추계학적 확률과정을 이용하여 시간에 따른 구조물의 피해 경로를 정량적으로 추적하였다. 누적피해도와 내구년수의 분포함수를 시간의 함수로 산정하여 추계학적 확률과정을 적용할 때 주의해야 하는 중요한 특성들을 제시하였다. 특히, 본 연구에서는 추계학적 확률과정을 경사제 피복재에 적용하여 시간에 따른 누적 피해도를 추적할 수 있는 방법을 제안하였다. 확률과정의 매개변수들을 추정하기 위하여 개발된 표본경로기법을 이용하여 경사제 피복재의 시간에 따른 누적 피해도가 포화거동을 따른다는 사실이 확인되었다. 또한 누적 피해도 산정시 중요한 역할을 하는 멱함수의 지수를 정량적으로 산정하여 경사제 피복재의 누적 피해도를 시간에 따라 추적하는 것이 가능했다. 마지막으로 한계수준을 다양하게 변화시키면서 파괴확률의 거동특성을 해석하였다.

본 연구는 서울시 도심재개발을 대상으로 도시공간의 재편과정에 내재하는 정치.경제적 논리를 규명함으로써 도시의 형성과 변화가 사회구조의 산물임을 밝히고자 하였다. 서울시의 도심재개발 사업은 1970년대 전반부터 생산과정의 분화가 이루어짐에 따라 대기업 본사가 도심으로 집중하는 상황에서 시작되었다. 또한 도심재개발은 1980년대 불황국면에 접어들면서 더욱 활발해졌는데, 이는 불황시기의 유휴자본의 문제를 도시공간을 재개발하는데 투자하여 극복하려는 논리에 근거한 것이었다. 그리고 도심재개발은 이를 전체적인 수준에서 주관하고 토지소유권의 통합, 토지수용권의 인정, 제 3개발자 인정, 재정. 세제상의 혜택, 건축규제의 완화 등 법적. 행정적 지원기관인 서울시의 정책과 맞물려 있었다. 그 결과 생활터전으로써의 도심은 업무공간으로 단순화되고, 도심인구의 空洞化現象은 더욱 심화되었다.

동서 냉전의 종전 이후 국제테러 및 관련 문제들은 지구 공동체의 가장 시급한 당면 해결 과제로 부상하였다. 그러나 우리나라는 이와 관련된 피해가 상대적으로 적어 그 심각성을 인식하지 못하고 있었다. 하지만, 최근에는 국제해상테러와 관련된 많은 문제가 발생함으로써 이에 대한 관심도가 증가하고 있는데, 이는 우리나라는 지정학적으로 3면이 바다와 접하고 있고, 특히 부존자원이 부족하여 국가 경제의 대부분을 차지하고 있는 국제무역의 대부분을 국제 해상교통에 의존하고 있기 때문이다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 선행연구와 문헌들을 검토하여 국제해상테러 대응방안에 대한 우선순위를 분석해 봄으로써 그 실천적 대안을 제시하고자 하는 데 그 연구의 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 선행연구와 문헌들에서 추출된 대응체계 구성요소들을 국제해상테러와 관련된 전문가들을 대상으로 델파이 분석을 실시하여, 국제해상테러 대응의 구성요소들에 대한 상대적 중요도에 따른 우선순위를 분석하여 선정하였다. 분석결과, 국제해상테러의 대응체계를 구축하기 위해서는 국제적 대응방안으로는 법 제도적 방안이 우선되어야 하며, 국내적 대응방안으로는 전략적 대응방안이 우선되어야 함을 알 수 있었다. 종합적으로는 국제해상테러에 대한 보다 효율적이고 현실적인 대응을 위해서는 국제해상테러 대응 기구와 관련 전문가들의 인식이 우선적으로 필요함이 연구되었다.
