Purpose: This study was conducted to classify the energy efficiency of 131 tractor models tested during from 2006 to 2010 in Korea. Methods: Four sub-indexes were developed using the fuel consumptions at 60% and 90% of rated speed with partial loads and at pull speeds of 3.0 km/h and 7.5 km/h with maximum drawbar pull. Weighting factors of the sub-indexes were also considered to reflect the characteristics of tractor's actual working hours in Korea. Four sub-indexes were integrated into a classification index. Using the developed classification index, a five-classification system was made on the basis of normal distribution of tractors over the classification range. Percentage of $1^{st}$ grade interval was expected to be close to 15%, $2^{nd}$ grade 20%, $3^{rd}$ grade 30%, $4^{th}$ grade 20%, $5^{th}$ grade 15%. Results: Number of $1^{st}$ grade was 21, $2^{nd}$ grade 23, $3^{rd}$ grade 39, $4^{th}$ grade 33, $5^{th}$ grade 15 among 131 models. Conclusions: Classification index was developed by integrating four sub-indexes. By the classification method using developed index, distribution of classified tractors was acceptable for practical application.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the interactions between the thermal factors in existing thermal control methods and to find out the control logic that can create more comfortable thermal conditions. For it, four thermal control logics were developed：conventional temperature-based control; temperature-based and humidity-based control; PMV-based control; and TS-based control. Their performance was comparatively tested in the U.S. typical 5-story office building in two climate zones (Detroit, Michigan and Miami, Florida) for two seasons (winter and summer) incorporating IBPT (International Building Physics Toolbox) and Matlab/Simulink. Analysis on the thermal conditions and energy efficiency revealed that each control logic created comfortable conditions for their respective target, i.e., temperature, humidity, PMV or TS, but uncomfortable for others (e.g., temperature-based control logic maintained PMV or TS uncomfortably or vise versa). In addition, energy efficiency was significantly different by logics. In conclusion, it can be said that the overall thermal comfort can be improved by the adoption of the PMV and TS as a target variable and their economical benefits are expected in the hotter climate zones with the reduced cooling and dehumidifying energy consumptions.

On the electricity consumption in Korea, the lighting sector takes about 17% of annual total electricity consumptions. In the midst of higher interests on energy conservation measures, design and choice of energy-saving lighting fixtures have been more important. With growth of technology-intensive industries like advanced material, semiconductor, and biotechnology from the 1980s, needs for clean room and thus illumination at clean rooms have been increased. In this paper, development, specification, and features of a Teardrop LED(hereinafter TD LED) lighting fixture as replacement of Teardrop florescent lighting one that has been popularly installed at clean rooms were presented. Also we performed the economic analysis of return on investment(ROI) about energy savings by the installation of the TD LED lighting fixture at a new-built clean room. The economic analysis showed that the new-developed TD LED lighting fixture would be able to withdraw the initial installation cost within 4 years. Lastly, improvement directions and development plans of the next TD LED lighting fixture for wider applications at clean rooms were described.

Research on modification and replacement of conventional AC distribution system to DC distribution system has been widely conducted. When DC system is applied, it is possible to improve energy transferring efficiency because most of the home appliances are electric loads which require DC input voltage. Furthermore, compatibility with renewable energy sources and secondary batteries should be improved as they are DC based power sources. To design energy efficient DC system, it is important to understand the load characteristics of the electric devices. In this paper, the electric appliances are classified to 3 types: motor, heating, and electric loads and their typical power consumptions are shown. Load patterns of load which can be used in analyzing the designed system are modeled according the statistics. Feasibility of the developed load patterns are verified by applying it in distribution system design tool.

This study examined the effects of com gluten (CG) and its hydrolysate consumptions on weight reduction in rats fed a high-fat diet. Eight-month-old male Sprague-Dawley rats (n=40) were fed a high-fat diet (40% calorie as fat) for 4 weeks. They were then randomly divided into four groups and fed the isocaloric diets with different protein sources for 8 weeks. The protein sources were casein (control group), intact CG (CG group), CG hydrolysate A (CGHA group, 30% of protein as peptides and 70% as free amino acids) and CG hydrolysate P (CGHP group, 93% of protein as peptides and 7% as free amino acids). Body weight gain, adipose tissue weights, nitrogen balance, absorptions of energy, protein and fat, lipid profiles in plasma, liver and feces and hepatic activities of camitine palmitoyl transferase (CPT), fatty acid synthase (FAS), malic enzyme (ME) and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) were assessed. The CGHA diet had the highest amount of BCAAs, especially leucine, and most of them existed as free amino acid forms. The CGHA group showed significant weight reduction and negative nitrogen balance. Protein absorption and apparent protein digestibility in the CGHA group were significantly lower than those in other groups. Adipose tissue weights were the lowest in the CGHA group. Activity of CPT tended to be higher in the CGHA group than in other groups and those of FAS, ME and G6PDH were significantly lower in the CGHA group than in other groups. In conclusion, the CGHA diet which had relatively high amounts of free amino acids and BCAAs, especially leucine, had a weight reduction effect by lowering adipose tissue weight and the activities of FAS, ME and G6PDH in experimental animals, but it seemed to be a negative result induced by lowering protein absorption, increasing urinary nitrogen excretion and protein catabolism.

본 논문에서는 센서네트워크의 수명 연장을 위해 에너지 인지 기반의 경로 제어 방안인 TBP(Threshold based Back-Pressure) 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 센서네트워크 수명 연장을 위해서는 에너지의 고른 소비가 필수적이므로, 라우팅 영역 전체에 걸친 고른 트래픽 분배를 설계목표로 갖는다. TBP 알고리즘은 지역적 트래픽 분배와 라우팅 영역 전체에서의 트래픽 분배를 모두 수행한다. 임계값과 back-pressure 신호가 이 두 가지 스케일의 트래픽 분배 수행을 위해 정의되었다. TBP 알고리즘은 라우팅 영역에 속한 다중경로의 최적 활용을 목적으로 하지만 이를 위해 사용하는 임계값과 back-pressure 신호는 한 흡 범위의 지역적 정보로 정의함으로써 망 규모에 제한받지 않는 확장성을 확보하였다. TBP 알고리즘이 에너지 소비를 분산시키는 효과, 즉 네트워크 수명을 연장하는 효과를 가지고 있음을 다양한 실험을 통하여 확인하였다. 또한, TBP 알고리즘은 엄격한 경로 제어를 기반으로 설계되었음에도 지연 및 전송률 지표에서 개선된 결과를 보였다. 에너지 인지 기반의 경로 제어가 트래픽 혼잡 제어의 효과를 부분적으로 갖고 있음을 보여주는 결과이다.

유비쿼터스 센서 네트워크(Ubiquitous Sensor Network)는 사람의 접근이 어려운 다양한 환경에 무선 센서들로 구성된 네트워크이다. 그러므로 센서 노드들은 스스로 라우팅 하는 네트워크로 구성되며, 전력(power) 교체가 어렵다는 특징을 가지고 있다. 따라서 전력 소모를 줄이는 다양한 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 일반적으로 클러스터를 이용한 계층적 구조의 라우팅 방식은 평면적 구조의 라우팅 방식에 비해 센서 노드들의 전력소모가 균등하며, 전력 소모가 적어 네트워크의 사용 주기가 길다. 본 논문은 초기 클러스터를 계속 유지하여 클러스터를 구성하는셋업 과정을 초기 한번만 함으로써 센서노드들의 에너지 소모를 줄이도록 하였으며, 다음 라운드의 헤더 선출은 클러스터내의 멤버 노드들 중 에너지가 가장 많은 노드를 선정함으로써 클러스터내의 모든 노드의 에너지 소모를 균등하게 하는 방법을 제안하였다. 이 방식은 클러스터의 모든 노드들의 에너지소모를 줄여 네트워크의 생명주기를 늘리며, 센서들의 에너지 소모를 균등하게 하여 에너지 홀(energy hole) 문제를 개선하고자 하였다. 본 제안방식의 타당성을 모의실험을 통해 확인하였다.

This paper deals with the survey of domestic hydrogen production, consumption, and distribution. The amount of domestic hydrogen production and consumption has not been identified, and we survey the amount of domestic hydrogen production and consumption by industries. The hydrogen production industries are classified into the oil industry, the petrochemical industry, the chemical industry, and the other industry. In 2004, the amount of domestic hydrogen production was 972,601 ton, which corresponded to 1.9% of the global hydrogen production. The oil industry produced 635,683 ton(65.4%), the petrochemical industry produced 241,970 ton(24.9%), the chemical industry produced 66,250 ton(6.8%), the other industry produced 28,698 ton(2.9%). The hydrogen consumptions of corresponding industries were close to the hydrogen productions of industries except that of the other industry. Most hydrogen was used as non-energy for raw materials and hydrogen additions to the process. Only 122,743 ton(12.6%) of domestic hydrogen was used as energy for heating boilers. In 2004, 47,948 ton of domestic hydrogen was distributed. The market shares of pipeline, tube trailers and cylinders were 84.4% and 15.6%, respectively. The purity of 31,848 ton(66.4%) of the distributed hydrogen was 99.99%, and 16,100 ton(33.6%) was greater than or equal to 99.999%. Besides domestic hydrogen, we also identify the byproduct gases which contain hydrogen. The iron industry produces COG( coke oven gas), BFG(blast furnace gas), and LDG(Lintz Donawitz converter gas) that contain hydrogen. In 2004, byproduct gases of the iron industry contained 355,000 ton of hydrogen.
