  • 안전점검과 관련된 규정 중 '건설기술진흥법'과 '시설물의안전관리에관한특별법'은 건설공사 시 안전에 관한 내용의 기술과 동시에 유지관리 측면에서의 안전점검에 관한 사항을 규정하여 건설산업의 사고예방을 담당하고 있다. 실질적인 근로자의 안전 확보를 담당하고 있는 규정이면서, 고용노동부의 안전점검과 관련된 유일한 규정이라 할 수 있는 '산업안전보건법 제32조 재해예방전문지도기관의 지도기준'과 '건설업산업안전 보건관리비 계상 및 사용기준'에 따라 건설공사 착공시 관련 기관은 계약과 동시에 준공 시까지 안전점검을 받도록 하고 있다. 그러나 발주기관에 따라 관리 정도의 편차가 심하여 소규모 민간 발주 공사현장은 안전점검이 형식적으로 이루어지고 있으며, 세부규정도 없어 안전점검 대가는 지속적으로 하락하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 제주지역에서 실질적으로 이루어지고 있는 안전점검의 현황을 조사하여 공사금액별 구분 비교하고 적정한 대가를 각각의 건설 관련 법에 근거하여 산출하고자 하였으며 나아가 세부 규정에 관한 개선방안을 제시하였다.

  • The required standards for environmental tests for communication and electronic equipment used currently in the army are not standards into which the Korean climate and use environment are taken into consideration. But the environmental testing standards of the U.S. army at the time of its establishment(MIL-STD-810) “A” version has been used without taking into consideration the Korean domestic situation and conditions by simply translating the US standards. Adherence to these standards may limit the ability to supply materials in case of emergency since the increase in the manufacturing costs according to excessively strict standards induces an increase in the acquisition cost of military equipment, unnecessarily high maintenance and repair expenses are consumed, and stocks of parts for the military use have to be retained at all times.

  • The livestocks are sometimes infected with pathogenic microorganisms such as bird influenza, brucellosis, pig cholerae, and salmonella. However, it is difficult to predict the outcome of these diseases because the livestocks are mostly raised in the rural areas. Efficient systems for detecting and alerting the onset of livestock diseases are urgently required. In these studies, the fluorescent analysis method, luminescent analysis method, and frequently used gene amplification method (polymerase chain reaction) have been developed in order to detect the pathogenic microbes in the early stages of disease progression. By using these developed systems, damages due to the livestock diseases induced by microbes can be minimized. If we can detect livestock diseases in the early stage, the costs for diagnosis and treatment will be reduced, and the livestock can be quickly recovered.

  • This study was conducted to estimate the removal efficiency of algae by a mechanical Screw Brush Cone Filter in a lake. The device used a stainless steel cone-shaped filter with a screw brush. The ability of the developed device to remove algae larger than $20{\mu}m$ in Lake ChaSa, Gwangyang city was tested from August to September 2014. The results show that the removal rates for chlorophyll-a, suspended solids and volatile suspended solids were 44-87%(mean 61%), 35-54%(mean 40%), and 37-46%(mean 43%), respectively. This study also discusses equipment and device operation costs and device application problems, and suggests in situ. solutions to these problems.

  • In recent years, stimuli-responsive materials have garnered interest due to their ability to change properties when exposed to external stimuli, making it useful for various applications including gas separation. Light is a very attractive trigger for responsive materials due to its speedy and non-invasive nature as well as the potential to reduce energy costs significantly. Even though light is deemed as an appealing stimulus for the development of stimuli-responsive materials, this avenue has yet to be extensively researched, as evidenced by the fewer works done on the photo-responsive membranes. Of these, there are even less research done on photo-responsive materials for the purpose of gas separation, thus, we have collected the examples that answer both these criteria in this review. This review covers the utilisation of photo-responsive materials specifically for gas separation purposes. Photo-chromic units, their integration into gas separation systems, mechanism and research that have been done on the topic so far are discussed.

  • Polyurethane has been one of the most important materials for automobile elastic parts such as bumper, head rest, instrument panel and so on since it covers very wide range of mechanical characteristics with low production costs. The processing variables such as formulation of ingredients and mold temperature, mixing speed, etc. can affect the quality of produced polyurethane foams so that process conditions should be determined appropriately. In this study, foaming behaviors of semi-rigid polyurethane were investigated by conducting cup foam tests with two major processing variables such as environmental temperature and blowing agent content. In addition, it was verified that processing conditions of real practice can be determined effectively by considering foaming characteristics obtained by the cup foam tests.

  • It is necessary to draw up many plans to solve problems in the management of groundwater resources in Jeju Island while systematically develop and utilize water resources at an optimal level. It also seems to an evitable option to establish Groundwater Management Areas in Jeju Island. The excess use of groundwater could be discouraged by imposing charges on those licenses. Such policy as allowance trading system do not appear to be because of transaction costs, but could be applied if only were accompanied by complementary method. The methods of using and conserving the limited resources of groundwater should be founded through socially agreeable and appropriate ways. The policy complemented allowance trading system by Pigouian tax could be effective to regulate licenses. This is cutting the numbers of licenses at a constant rate, imposing charges on those who want to continue using licenses, and reimbursing in cash to those who return the licenses.

  • Environmental information (temperature, humidity, vibration, $CO_2$, gas leakage, etc.) of building is an essential item to manage and monitor a building. For intelligent building, it is necessary to get temperature and illumination information to save energy and crack information to prevent structural problems. Moreover, temperature and gas leakage information to alarm a tire precaution, or humidity information to maintain comfortable environment. However, there have not been many researches on systems for gathering environmental information and building maintenance due to high costs. In this paper, wireless sensor network technology is applied to collecting building environmental information. Wireless sensor network is one of the latest issues and has low-power consumption, low-cost, self-configuration features.

  • Actually, about 45% of total costs for wastewater treatment in a papermaking mill is spent for sludge disposal and the cost of chemicals used to improve the dewaterability of sludge takes much part of it. In order to reduce sludge disposal cost and to improve the efficiency of sludge treatment, it is necessary to minimize the amount of water contained within the sludge and hence to improve the dewaterability of the sludge. The objective of this study was to elucidate the way of improving the dewaterability of sludge. Three types of wastewater from a tissue paper mill, a printing paper mill and a newsprint mill were used and two types of high molecular weight flocculants (anionic PAM and cationic PAM) were used to treat the wastewater. Dewaterability of sludge was evaluated by measuring floc strength.

  • Importance sampling methods have been developed with the aim of reducing the computational costs inherent in Monte Carlo methods. This study proposes a new algorithm called the adaptive kernel method which combines and modifies some of the concepts from adaptive sampling and the simple kernel method to evaluate the structural reliability of time variant problems. The essence of the resulting algorithm is to select an appropriate starting point from which the importance sampling density can be generated efficiently. Numerical results show that the method is unbiased and substantially increases the efficiency over other methods.
