A decrease in stratospheric ozone probably caused by chloroflurocarbons (CFCs) emissions, has been observed large parts of-the globe. It is generally accepted that if ozone levels in the stratosphere are depleted, greater amounts of shortwave ultraviolet radiationB (UVB) will reach the earth's surface, resulting in increased incidence of nonmelanoma skin cancer. In this study, we evaluated several mathematical models, such as a power and an exponential model, and a geometric model considering the surface area of a human body part and ages for the prediction of Skin cancer incidence caused by exposure to the UVB radiation. These models basically estimated the risk of skin cancer based on those measurements of the local ozone in stratosphere and UVB. Both were measured at a part of Seoul with a Dobson ozone spectrometer and Robertson-Berger UV Biometer for 1995. As a result, we calculated the point estimation applying a biological amplification factor (BAF), UVB radiation and other factors. We used a Monte-Carlo simulation technique with assumption on the distribution of each considered factor. The sensitivity analysis of model by there components conducted using Gaussian sensitivity method. The annual integral of UVB radiation was 2275 MED (minimal erythema dose)/yr. Also, an estimate of the annual amount of UVB reaching the earth's surface at a korea's latitude and altitude was 3328 MED/yr. The values of the radiation amplification factor (RAF) were ranged from 0.9 to 1.5 in Seoul. To give the effective factors required to model the prediction of skin cancer incidence caused by exposure to the UVB radiation in Korea, we studied the pros and cons of above mentioned models with the application of those parameters measured in Seoul, Korea.

This paper presents the second part of the modeling for the strap combined footings, this part shows a mathematical model for design of strap combined footings subject to axial load and moments in two directions to each column considering the soil real pressure acting on the contact surface of the footing for one and/or two property lines of sides opposite restricted, the pressure is presented in terms of an axial load, moment around the axis "X" and moment around the axis "Y" to each column, and the methodology is developed using the principle that the derived of the moment is the shear force. The first part shows the optimal contact surface for the strap combined footings to obtain the most economical dimensioning on the soil (optimal area). The classic model considers an axial load and a moment around the axis "X" (transverse axis) applied to each column, i.e., the resultant force from the applied loads is located on the axis "Y" (longitudinal axis), and its position must match with the geometric center of the footing, and when the axial load and moments in two directions are presented, the maximum pressure and uniform applied throughout the contact surface of the footing is considered the same. A numerical example is presented to obtain the design of strap combined footings subject to an axial load and moments in two directions applied to each column. The mathematical approach suggested in this paper produces results that have a tangible accuracy for all problems and it can also be used for rectangular and T-shaped combined footings.

본 연구에서는 최근 USGS에서 공개한 Landsat 8 Collection 2 Level 2 Science Product (L2SP) 위성 영상을 이용하여 국내 지표면 온도를 산출하였고, 기존 Landsat 8 Collection 1 Level 1 Terrain Precision (L1TP) 위성 영상을 활용하여 산출한 국내 지표면 온도와의 비교와 기상청 종관기상관측자료(Automated Synoptic Observing System, ASOS)와의 검증을 통해 L2SP 기반 지표면 온도 자료의 국내 영역에 대한 적합성을 평가하고자 하였다. L2SP는 연구 및 분석에 용이하도록 Landsat 8 Collection 2 Level 1 데이터를 기반으로 만든 Level 2 자료로, 기존의 계산식을 통해 산출해야 하는 지표면 반사도 자료와 지표면 온도 자료를 계산 처리 없이 바로 사용할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 2018년부터 2020년까지 3년간의 Landsat 8 지표면 온도 산출물과 관측소 지점 8개소 주변 3×3 격자 영역과의 비교한 결과, 8개 관측소 기준 L2SP 지표면 온도와 L1TP 지표면 온도의 평균 피어슨 상관계수(Pearson correlation coefficient)는 각각 0.971, 0.964로 두 자료 모두 상당히 강한 양의 상관관계를 보여주었으며, RMSE (Root Mean Square Error)의 경우 각각 4.029℃, 5.247℃로 L2SP 지표면 온도 자료가 더 낮은 RMSE를 보여주는 것을 확인 하였다. 이는 관측소 위치별로 값에 차이가 생길 수 있지만 평균적인 지표 결과를 보았을 때, L2SP 지표면 온도 자료가 L1TP를 통해 산출되는 지표면 온도 자료와 비교했을 때 준수하거나 그 이상의 정확도를 보여주어 국내 지표면 온도 산출 연구에 적합하다고 판단된다. 따라서 향후 계절적 요인과 고도에 따른 온도 차이 등의 환경 및 지형적인 요인도 고려를 하거나, 본 연구 과정에서 발생한 Science Product의 고정적인 영상 품질 문제 등이 개선된다면 보다 더 안정적이고 정확도 높은 지표면 온도 참조 자료로써의 유용성이 클 것이라 판단된다.

Aerosol generator using an electrically heated tube furnace is a stable apparatus to supply nanometer sized aerosols by using the evaporation and condensation processes. Using this method, we can generate highly concentrated polydisperse aerosols with relatively narrow size distribution. In this work, characteristics of particle size distribution, generated from a tube furnace, were experimentally investigated. We evaluated effects of several operation parameters on particle generation: temperature in the tube furnace, air flow rates through the tube, size of boat containing solid sodium chloride(NaCl). As the temperature increased, the geometric mean diameter increased and the total number concentration also increased. Dilution with air affected the size distribution of the particles due to coagulation. A smaller sized boat, which has small surface area to contact with air, brings smaller particles of narrow size distribution in comparison of that of a larger boat. Finally, we changed the electrical mobility diameter of aggregate sodium chloride particles by varying relative humidity of dilution air, and obtained non-aggregate sodium chloride particles, which are easy to generate exact monodisperse particles.

Light-off catalyst has been used for minimization of cold-start emissions. Improved cold-start performance of light-off catalyst needs the optimal design in terms of flow distribution, geometric surface area, precious metal loading, cell density and space velocity. In this study, these influential factors are numerically investigated using integrated numerical technique by considering not only 3-D fluid flow but also heat and mass transfer with chemical reactions. The present results indicate that uneven catalyst loading of depositing high active catalyst at upstream of monolith is beneficial during warm-up period but its effect is severely deteriorated when the space velocity is above 100,000 $hr^{-1}$ To maximize light-off performance, this study suggests that 1) a light-off catalyst be designed double substrate type; 2) the substrate with high GSA and high PM loading at face be placed at the front monolith; and 3) the cell density of the rear monolith be lower to reduce the pressure drop.

Measurements of local heat/mass transfer coefficients in rotating two-pass ducts are presented. Ducts of three different aspect ratios (W/H), 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0, are employed with a fixed hydraulic diameter ($D_h$) of 26.7 nm. $90^{\circ}$-rib turbulators are attached on the leading and trailing walls symmetrically. The rib height-to-hydraulic diameter ratio ($e/D_h$) is 0.056, and the rib pitch-to-rib height ratio (p/e) is 10. The experimental conditions are the same as those of the previous part of the study. As the rib height-to-duct height ratio (e/H) increases, the core flow is more disturbed and accelerated in the midsections of ribs. Therefore, the obtained data show higher heat/mass transfer in the higher aspect ratio duct. Dean vortices also augment heat/mass transfer in the turn and in the upstream region of the second pass. However, the effect becomes less significant for the higher aspect ratio because the surface area increases in the present geometric condition. The effect of rotation produces heat/mass transfer discrepancy.

입력단 또는 출력단이 원형 확장관 안으로 돌출되어 있는 소음기가 관내 전달 소음저감을 위해 많이 쓰이고 있다. 저주파수 영역에서의 소음저감 효과는 음파 진행 단면의 확장-축소와 입력단-출력단의 상대적 위치 등으로 발생되는 소음기의 리액티브 성분으로 설명이 된다. 본 연구에서는 입력 혹은 출력단에 동심으로 배치된 한개의 연장관이 단순 팽창형 소음기에 삽입되어 있는 경우에 대한 음향해석을 수행하였다. 해석방법으로는, 음장을 분리좌표계로 표현될 수 있는 몇개의 경계 표면으로 나누고, 각 표면에서의 음압 및 입자속도를 정규화된 음향 고유 모드로 전개하여 간단한 대수식으로 표현하였다. 제안된 해석적인 방법을 사용하여 소음기의 투과손실을 예측하였으며, 실험과도 잘 일치함을 관찰할 수 있었다.

Objectives: This study was conducted in order to investigate the diesel exhaust particle(DEP) concentrations in the thirteen parking lots of large shopping complex. Methods: The real-time black carbon(BC) concentration was determined using an Aethalometer, and elemental/organic carbon concentration was determined according to the method of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health(NIOSH) 5040. The particle number concentration(NC), lung deposited surface area concentration(LDSA) and geometric mean diameter(GMD) were determined using a DiSCmini aerosol monitor. Results: The average concentration of BC, EC, OC, NC, LDSA and GMD were $19.1{\mu}g/m^3$, $12.6{\mu}g/m^3$, $51.5{\mu}g/m^3$, $94,000particles/cm^{-3}$, $298{\mu}m^2/cm^{-3}$ and 57 nm in all parking lots, respectively, approximately 3-fold higher than those found in the urban outdoor. The average concentration of BC were $21.3{\mu}g/m^3$ in underground parking lots, 3-fold higher than above parking lots. Conclusions: Therefore, the parking lots at the large shopping complex can be considered a potentially dangerous environment with a high concentration of DEP nanoparticles.

The optimal design of auto-catalyst needs a good compromise between the pressure drop and flow uniformity in the substrate. One of the effective methods to achieve this goal is to use the concept of radially variable cell density. But this method has not been examined its usefulness in terms of chemical behavior and conversion performance. In this work, two-dimensional performance prediction of catalyst coupled with turbulent reacting flow simulation has been used to evaluated the benefits of this method n the flow uniformity and conversion efficiency. The results showed that two cell combination of 93cpsc and 62 cpsc was the most effective for improved pressure drop and conversion efficiency due to balanced space velocity and efficient usage of geometric surface area of channels. It was also found that large temperature difference between the bricks in case that the edge of the frontal face of brick has too much lower cell density(less than 67% of cell density of the center of the brick). This study has also demonstrated that the present computational results show the better prediction accuracy in terms of CO, HC and NO conversion efficiencies compared to those of conventional 1-D adiabatic model by comparison with experimental results.
