This essay investigates how the industrialization of the US food system was closely linked to US foreign policy, gender issues, and the rise of consumerism in the Cold War era. While many scholars in American studies and women's studies over the past few decades have paid increasing attention to the interrelationship of gender politics and the media industry in shaping US domesticity, they have seldom studied how and why reading gender issues in relation to environmental discourse in general and the industrialized US food system in particular can help us better understand the complex relationship between environmental and social problems that we are facing today, both collectively and individually. In this context, this essay shows how US national politics have not only created the ideal of American domesticity that promotes traditional gender roles and consumerism at the expense of gender equality, but also negatively affected women's somatic and mental health writ large. By closely examining the cultural implications of Nixon's and Khrushchev's Kitchen Debate in the 1950s alongside newspapers, photographs, advertisements, and Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar (1963), I argue that reading Cold War consumer culture in relation to the US food system leads readers to see the invisible links between gender politics and today's environmental and social problems in comparative and global contexts.

Environmental issues are among the most critical issues nowadays. These issues are no longer confined to individual countries, and international society has been progressing in building global dialogues since the early 1970s. Within these international efforts, Germany and Japan have played essential roles in global environmental governance. However, there are major differences in nation-level environmental policies in both countries. Governance based on network structure is more efficient than that based on hierarchy for solving complex problems. The network structure is formed through horizontal cooperation among various autonomous actors, and the relationship intensity among actors is one of the key concepts in the governance. Using social network analysis as a framework to explain complicated societal structures explains how interaction among actors creates networks, and these networks further affect their interactions. The purpose of this study is to investigate the structure of environmental policy governance as collaborative governance in Germany and Japan. To address this goal, this paper analyzes the relationship between the informational dimension of governance networks and its complement resource-sharing networks in both countries. The results show that the information-sharing networks have lower-level network influence on the resource-sharing networks as higher-level networks even if not all of the information factors have singular influences. The results suggest that the information-sharing networks may be one of the pieces of the puzzle for explaining this phenomenon in environmental governance in Germany and Japan.

Load Management, is originated from efficiency improvement of energy use, or energy conservaion. Traditionally, electric utilities have constructed new power plants to meet the steadily increasing electricity demand. Power development planning, however, is becoming more difficult in the countries like Korea, Japan, and the United States, and increasing concerns about global environmental problems necessitate changes from existing supply-side options based on fossil-fuel to environmentally agreeable supply strategies. This paper discusses the demand side management strategy with emphasis on the concept, implementation scheme, and current practices employed in utilities.

일반적으로 어떤 순간에 발생할지 모르는 응급 상황을 CCTV의 영상 정보만으로 상황을 항상 모니터링하기에는 인력과 비용의문제점이 발생되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 응급상황을 동적으로 보여주는 CCTV환경에서 감지하기 위해 GMM을 이용한 응급단어와 비응급단어의 검출 및 인식기법을제안하고자 한다. 제안된 방법은 Global GMM 모델에 의해 응급단어와 일반단어를 검출하고 이 모델에 의해 응급단어라 판정된 경우에는 Local GMM 모델에 응급단어 인식을 수행하게 된다. 제안된 방법은 다양한 환경하에서 취득한 응급단어와 일반단어에 대해 적용하여 타당성을 검증하였다.

산업화 이후 가속화된 지구 온난화 현상으로 인해 기존환경 변화 및 이상기후 발생 빈도가 증가하고 있다. 농업은 기후변화에 매우 민감한 분야의 산업으로 지구 온난화는 작물의 생산량을 감소시키고 재배 지역이 변하는 등의 문제를 발생시킨다. 또한, 환경 변화는 작물의 생육 시기를 불규칙하게 만들어 숙련된 농사꾼들도 작물의 생육단계를 쉽게 추정할 수 없도록 만들어 여러 문제를 발생시킨다. 이에 본 논문에서는 작물의 생육단계를 추정하기 위한 CNN(Convolution Neural Network) 모델을 제안한다. 제안한 모델은 ResNet의 Pooling Layer를 수정한 모델로 ResNet, DenseNet 모델의 생육단계 추정보다 높은 성능 결과를 확인하였다.

에너지 소비량 증가 및 고유가로 인한 에너지 자원 수급의 불안정 상황에서 새로운 차세대 에너지원으로 셰일가스가 관심을 받고 있다. 셰일가스는 풍부한 매장량과 고른 지역적 분포로 인해 기존의 에너지 역학 구도까지 바꿀 것으로 기대되고 있다. 셰일가스의 개발과정은 시추와 파쇄 및 생산의 과정으로 이루어지는데 이러한 셰일가스 개발과정에서 요구되는 수평시추, 수압파쇄 등의 핵심 기술과 개발과정에 발생하는 환경 이슈문제, 그리고 이를 해결하기 위한 추가 요구 기술과 현재의 연구 진행 현황 등을 살펴보고자 한다.

Technology used by human beings has developed drastically over the years. Although people enjoy affluent lives as a result of this development, the depletion of resources has brought about a variety of environmental problems such as emission of fine dust, treatment of waste water, and global warming. Although studies on environmental pollution are being conducted continuously, there are a limited number of studies that analyze research trends from quantitative and qualitative perspectives. In order to examine the current research landscape, we employed Scopus to combine research interest in environmental science with bibliographic analysis. Among 74,089 papers published in 57 journals of environmental science, 3,212 papers were published by Korean authors and citations per publications and Field-Weighted Citation Impact (FWCI) of those papers were 7.3 and 1.0, respectively. By assessing the bibliometric indicators in the field of environmental science, this study provides insight into research trends and related data to aid researchers in developing research strategies.

Our global environment and ecology are now facing crisis due to the hrincreased waster materials caused by reckless abuse of resources and energy with the continuous development of our society. Therefore the whole nation should recognize the environmental pollution seriously and should accept sustainable development principles. The country is looking for actions against the problems in various ways. The introduction of reckless and duplicating western housing plan should be ceased but a new housing plan conforming to our nature should be found. In this regard, it is believed that it is a good alternative to succeed tradition and identity of Korean housing plan and suggest a new plan for better ecological housing by analyzing the environment friendliness of our traditional Korean houses. In this study, the traditional residential components were divided into physical and design aspects and the characteristics of environment friendly Korean traditional houses were analyzed.

The objective of this study is to investigate the possibility of chemical process synthesis purely based on mathematical programming when given an objective, feed conditions, product specifications, and model equations for available process units. A method based on a state space approach is proposed, and applied to an example problem with a reactor, a heat exchanger, and a separator. The results indicate that a computer can automatically synthesize an optimal process without any heuristics or expertise in process design provided that global optimization techniques are improved to be suitable for large problems.

As the concern for a global energy conservation and environmental protection are increasing, it has been more important thing to correspond with CFC depletion. Alternate refrigerants have merit such as lower global warming effect, but also have demerits such as lower efficiency, miscibility, increasing noise and poor reliability problems. Then we have to develop more efficient, silent and robust compressors to satisfying world-wide demand. In this paper, parametric study on rotary compressor muffler for a room air-conditioner was carried out to investigate the effect of important design variables on noise by using Taguchi robust design method with signal-to-noise(S/N) ratio. Taguchi method seems to be helpful for finding optimum value of design variables for noise level. We also applied neural network to find optimal value of design variables.
