This study aims to find out and measure the level of factors affecting the applicability of environmental management accounting (EMA) in Vietnamese automobile industry enterprises. Data was collected using both quantitative and qualitative methods. First, in general research, qualitative methodology was used to find out factors (variables) that can impact the possibility of implementing EMA in Vietnamese automobile enterprises. Second, in detailed research, all variables are measured using a quantitative method by collecting data through sampling and sending questionnaires. 500 questionnaires were sent to automobile enterprise managers and only 352 questionnaires met the criteria for the data analysis. The study used a mixed research design approach- a procedure for collecting, analyzing, and "mixing" both quantitative and qualitative research and methods in a single study to understand the research problem. Results show that 7 factors affect the possibility of implementing EMA in Vietnamese automobile industry enterprises. These factors are coercive pressure, normative pressure, mimetic pressure, business environmental uncertainty, environmental strategy, benefits when applying EMA, and task complexity. Based on the results of the study, promoting EMA in the automotive industry should depend mainly on the role of governmental departments.

지표면에서 플라즈마는 전기방전에 의하여 만들어낸다. 그래서 대부분의 플라즈마 발생은 1백만분의 1기압보다 더 낮은 기압에서 발생하고 있었다. 그러나 많은 플라즈마 응용은 고기압에서 발생한 플라즈마를 요구하고 있다. 진공펌프와 같은 고가의 장비를 피하기 위하여 과학자들은 1기압이나 그이상의 압력에서 플라즈마를 발생하는 연구를 하기 시작했다. 많은 량의 제료 공정, 환경보호와 개선, 그리고 고효율 에너지 창출과 이용 등의 분야에 플라즈마를 사용할 때에는 오직 더 많은 량의 플라즈마를 더욱 값싸게 만들 때에만 가능한 것이다. 우리는 따라서 고기압에서 플라즈마를 만들어내는 새로운 방법을 개발하고 이러한 플라즈마가 21세기 산업에 적용될 수 있는 새로운 기반을 구축하는 연구를 수행하고 있다. 이러한 기술은 미래의 재료 공정이나, 환경 그리고 에너지 분야에 지대한 영향을 미칠 것으로 생각한다.

Blood pressure distribution of adolescents and its several related factors including obesity were investigated through blood pressure measuring by automated oscillometric method, anthropometry, and questionnaire. Subjects were 480 female and 480 male middle school students living in Taejon. Mean values of systolic(SBP)/diastolic(DNP) blood pressure of male and female students were 118.4$\pm$11.0/69.5$\pm$9.6 mmHg and 116.9$\pm$10.4/69.5$\pm$8.6 mmHg, respectively. Their blood pressures, particularly SBP, increased with age and showed higher value in the males than in the females. All frequency distributions of SBP and DBP, by sex and age, showed normal curves and their 50th, 90th, and 95th percentiles were presented. As obese index increased, both SBP and DBP were elevated and the prevalence of hypertension which was classified by Task Force Report(1987) increased, particularly in male students. Body weight and BMI were positively correlated with both SBP and DBP, and hight was also positively correlated with SBP or DBP. Our data inicated that blood pressure and hypertension prevalence of adolescents tended to increase and various internal and external environmental factors affected them. It was emphasized that blood pressure measurement should be done in every medical examination of adolescents and the nationwide Korean standard of blood pressure for adolescents have to be prepared.

The growth and extent of the local pressure field at any point is of primary importance as it supplies the driving force for the local wind circulation which causes a medium-range transport of air pollutants. The local pressure field is produced by the variation of temperature in the lower layers of the atmosphere, and is called the thermal wave. The thermal wave is influenced by the difference in the diurnal variations between two regions with different surface condition, for example land and sea. This difference produces the land- and sea-breeze phenomenon, and brings corresponding variations in the form of the thermal wave. Daytime temperature over the inland area (Daegu) was higher than that of the coastal area (Busan). The temperature difference reached about 5~6$^{\circ}C$ in the late afternoon(30-31 May 1999). The low pressure system of Daegu was most fully developed at the time. In this study, we investigated the possibility of thermal low onset around Daegu in summer with an analytical model. The topography effect was neglected in the model. We could predict a thermal low-pressure of about 3.4hPa at Daegu with wide flat land surface, when the inland area is about 6K warmer than the coastal area temperature. The pressure decrease is somewhat less than the observed value(4~5 hPa).

This study examined the magnitude and distribution of earth pressure on the support system in a jointed rock mass due to the different joint spacing as well as varying the rock type and joint condition (joint shear strength and joint inclination angle). Based on a physical model test and its numerical simulation, a series of numerical parametric analyses were conducted using a discrete element method. The results showed that the magnitude and distribution of earth pressure were strongly affected by the different joint spacing as well as the rock type and joint condition. In addition, the study results were compared with Peck's earth pressure for soil ground, which indicated that the earth pressure in a jointed rock mass could be considerably different from that in soil ground. The study suggests that the joint spacing as well as the rock type and joint condition are important factors affecting the earth pressure in a jointed rock mass and they should be considered when designing a support system in a jointed rock mass.

In this study, we propose a flow velocity evaluation scheme based on pressure measurement in pressurized pipeline systems. Conservation of mass and momentum equations can be decomposed into mean and perturbation of pressure head and flowrate, which provide the pressure head and flowrate relationship between upstream and donwstream point in pressurized pipeline system. The inverse impedance formulations were derived to address measured pressure at downstream to evaluation of flow velocity or pressure at any point of system. The convolution of response function to pressure head in downstream valve provides the flow velocity response in any point of the simple pipeline system. Simulation comparison between traditional method of characteristics and the proposed method provide good agreements between two distinct approaches.

본 연구는 국내에서 산자태 발생빈도가 매우 높은 편마암 풍화토를 대상으로 산사태 모형실험장치를 이용하여 강우강도 및 사면경사에 따른 간극수압 변화의 관계를 파악하기 위하여 수행되었다. 본 연구에서는 강우강도와 사면경사의 변화에 따른 다양한 실험조건하에서 일정 시간 간격으로 간극수압, 사면붕괴양상 및 변위 등을 각각 측정하였다. 실험결과에 따르면, 강우강도에 따른 간극수압의 관계는 강우강도가 클수록 간극수압 증가시간이 빠르며, 모형 토조의 위치별 간극수압 증가시간도 사면 상부에서 가장 빠른 것으로 측정되었다. 이를 표준사를 이용한 실험결과(채병곤 외, 2006)와 비교해 볼 때, 편마암 풍화토는 강우의 침투속도가 표준사에 비해 느린 것을 알 수 있으며, 이로 인해 사면하부로의 강우이동이 상대적으로 원활하지 않아 사면 상단부에서 간극수압의 증가가 빠른 것으로 해석된다. 한편, 간극수압의 증가는 사면의 경사가 작은 경우 먼저 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 현상 역시 편마암 풍화토의 느린 강우 침투속도에 기인하는 것으로 생각된다.

고효율 싸이클론의 설계는 압력강하의 최소화와 집진효율의 최대화를 이루는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구는 고온, 고압 조건하에서 신뢰성 있는 컴퓨터 프로그램을 개발하여 싸이클론의 집진효율에 영향을 주는 물리적 메카니즘을 연구하는 것이다. 수치 해석적 연구를 통한 고온, 고압 조건에서의 압력강하 계산은 실험데이터와 비교적 잘 일치하였다. 온도와 압력은 일반적으로 집진효율에 중요한 영향을 미치는데 보통 항력에서 가스의 밀도나 점도 등에 영향을 주어서로 상반되는 결과를 나타낸다. 그러므로 고온 운전에 따른 집진효율의 감소는 고압 조건으로 운전하는 것이 대안이 될 것으로 판단된다. 집진효율에 영향을 주는 인자에 대해 좀 더 세부적인 연구를 위하여 접선방향 속도나 보텍스 파인더의 직경 등과 같은 싸이클론의 설계변수나 운전변수에 따른 연구를 수행하였다. 예상한 바와 같이 접선방향의 속도가 집진효율에 가장 큰 영향을 주었다. 그리고 보텍스 파인더의 직경이 증가할수록 집진효율은 감소하였으며 보텍스 파인더의 길이는 집진효율에 큰 영향을 나타내지 않았다.

The 'chain reaction' effect of the interaction between wind pressure and windborne debris is likely to be a major cause of damage to residential buildings during severe wind events. The current paper (Part II) concerns the quantification of such pressure-debris interaction in an advanced vulnerability model that integrates the debris risk model developed in Part I and a component-based wind-pressure damage model. This vulnerability model may be applied to predict the cumulative wind damage during the passage of particular hurricanes, to estimate annual hurricane losses, or to conduct system reliability analysis for residential developments, with the effect of windborne debris fully considered.

More time is required for consolidating soft clay when its hydraulic conductivity around the vertical drains is reduced by soil disturbance. One of the methods to be proposed to solve such problem is the electro-osmotic flow application. This study presents the experimental results of model tests using a modified oedometer and a large-scale cylinder with a sand drain. Results show that the development of negative excessive pore water pressure due to the DC electrical field in saturated clay can be transformed to additional loads causing more consolidation settlement.
