In Korea, the Ministry of Environment's Chemical Control Act is the basis for hazardous chemical substances and safety management is being carried out. In particular, the standards for the installation and management of facilities are strongly managed. There were problems in the early stages of implementation, conflict with other laws, size of facilities and non-reflection of material properties. In this study, more realistic and reasonable improvement was planned for the fire-resistance standard of buildings among these facilities. We compared the fire resistance standards of buildings in the Korean similar chemical facility safety management ordinance. Key problems were identified through examples of representative complaints concerning the criteria for facilities. Finally, the Chemical Control Act provided an improvement measure to apply the building fire-resistance standard by clarifying the size and chemical of facilities. In the future, the results of this study are expected to be consistent with the basic purpose of the Chemicals Contral Act considering environmental hazards and contribute to the standard of handling facilities of reasonable chemical management laws that can be applied to the industry in reality.

This study was conducted to propose measures of water quality management as the water criteria for waterscape facilities which have been highlighted as alternatives to wading pools in summer season was legislated. The number of public waterscape facilities has reached 290 sites in Gyeounggi province and 971 sites in South Korea in 2017. The water tank capacity of 80.3 % public waterscape facilities was less than $100m^3$. Facilities with disinfection system were only 6.5 % and facilities with filtration function were also very low at 6.9 %. Most of the waterscape facilities, about 93%, are expected to be vulnerable to complying with revised water quality criteria because they have to be disinfected by handling. Chlorine disinfectants, which are more persistent than ozone or ultraviolet sterilization methods, are more preferred. However, care should be taken when adding disinfectans because hypochlorous acid, which is an effective component of chlorine disinfectant, remains after the disinfection, but it is easily decomposed with time. For this study, ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$ park floor fountain with a capacity of $63m^3$ was selected and the amount of free residual chlorine concentration was measured by injecting a certain amount of chlorine bleach. As a result, it took 5 hours to decrease from the water quality standard of 4 mg/L to 0.04 mg/L. If the waterscape facility is operated for 7 to 8 hours, the chlorine bleach should be re-injected after 5 hours. In addition, the problem of pH increase due to the input of chlorine disinfectant is expected, and the neutralization method using vinegar was proposed.

This is the one concept of the Korea paintings which defines the korea Art sprite. The line of korea painting is very important. It is impressions, korea artist had mastered the difficult art line of representing movement. That offers the important motive, that is discovery of Identity. this korea painting's line is like to meditation. To meditate is to think and ponder about the same holy truth for many hours on end, to fix an idea in one's mind and to look at it from all sides without letting go of it. That is the purpose behind the greatest of the korean landscape paintings Futhermore that is the purpose Shui-Mo paintings. This is the most important. What the korean value most highly in art. There is something wonderful in this restraint of Korea art, in its deliberate limitation to a few simple motifs of nature. But today, anyone did not interested in this motif. So that Shui-Mo paintings did not concerned too. Therefore, we consider it childish to look for details in pictures and then to compare them with the real world. We masters to acquire such a facility in the handling of brush and ink that write down their vision while their inspiration was still fresh.

The purpose of this study was to determine food safety practices and procedures based on Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) system and to suggest more effective method of HACCP implementation in meat packaging industry in Korea. We used the non-compliance rate of each evaluation item to compare the weak points of prerequisite requirements and HACCP. The prerequisite items related to facility, equipment, and tools showed inadequate level of requirements or unsanitary conditions for proper HACCP operation. A lack of understanding of sanitation standard operation procedures was identified as a fundamental barrier to HACCP implementation. High rate of non-compliance in HACCP items compared to prerequisite requirements signify that small businesses have potential difficulties of applying HACCP due to lack of technical expertise, financial resources for prerequisite requirements, and available personnel to prepare and operate HACCP plan. Also we suggest to revise and minimize current critical control points (CCPs). Time-temperature control of cold-storage rooms for carcasses and final products could be performed by control points of prerequisite requirements. As the occurrence frequency getting lower, metal detector should be replaced by intensified training of sanitary handling and safety procedure. This will be more effective and preventive measures against physical contaminants including metal particles. In conclusion, control point of prerequisite requirement may replace CCP in the plant with simple processing line and no heating process such as meat packaging industry.

In this paper we present development of microprocessor-based 8-channel statistical multiplexer (SMUX). The hardware design includes one Z-80A CPU board with the clock rate of 4 MHz, one 16 Kbyte ROM board for program storage, one 16 Kbyte dynamic RAM board and three I/O boards, all connected through an S-100 compatible tristate bus. The SMUX can presently multiplex 8 channels with data rates ranging 50 bps to 9600 bps, but can be reduced to accommodate 4 channels by having a slight modification of software and removing one terminal I/O board. The system specifications meet CCITT recommendations X.25 link level, V.24, V.28, X.3 and X.28. Significant features of the SMUX are its capability of handling 4 input codes (ASCII, EBCDIC, Baudot, Transcode), the use of a dynamic buffer management algorithm, a diagnostic facility, and the efficient use of a single CPU for all system operation. Throughout the paper, detailed explanations are given as to how the hardware and software of the SMUX system have been designed efficiently.

The depth, width and alignment of fairway that are main port water facilities should be designed considering the various elements including particulars of design ships, weather and sea conditions around fairway and method of ship-handling. However not only the existing Japanese design standard for fairway and also those of other countries do not take into consideration of such kind of elements and no design standard is made by quantitative analysis. In this circumstance the new design standard (Approach Channels, A Guide for Design) depending on classified various elements and quantitative analysis was proposed in 1997 by PIANC and IAPH. But it was proved that calculated values according to this standard were unfounded and had some problems to output the discontinuous value by small difference of calculation condition because the each value fur each element was simply added. And also it is hard to apply this standard to the design of port water facilities in Japan because this [A Guide for Design] is the design standard for long channels in European port. The proposal of more reasonable Japanese standard will be expected by applying the study result of naval architecture and navigation and by the cooperation of ship operators to use fairway, naval architects to built ships and civil engineers to dredge fairway. The concept of a fairway in 'Design standard fur fairway in next generation' is defined as passage for approach channel) and traffic lane designated by light buoys as navigable water for safe navigation. In 'Design standard for fairway in next generation' depth, width and alignment are picked up among many design elements of a fairway. Design method for those elements is shown based on design ships and navigational environments. This standard shows the method of design for each dimension depending on characteristic on design ship and weather and sea condition. On the other hand, in case of existing fairway, it is possible to decide the size of ship and navigation criteria by opposite analysis.

Purpose: In terms of the flexibility in hospital architecture, there are fixed elements of hospital architecture: mechanical, electrical, aeration rooms and shafts, which are the main utility spaces. Thus, it is necessary to recognize the utility space as a system that helps internal functions and flexible internal changes. This study analyzes the notion of the main utility space in hospital architecture and the architectural planning features of the main utility spaces as the system in the design process of the recently built hospitals. Methods: The design factors are extracted comparing two hospitals' plans in each stage and the systematic characteristics of utility spaces are analyzed accordingly. The opinions gathered from interviews of practitioners, architects and facility planning experts directly involved in the architecture design process are analyzed and reflected in the results. Results: Planning for utility spaces should be accompanied by the architectural plan from the basic design process, and proceeded with recognizing utility spaces as a system, which is a fixed element. Utility spaces are highly organically connected. Horizontal and vertical distribution of air chambers can reduce the length and number of ducts, and thus save story height, and reduce the number of shafts, the vertical connection passage. This is advantageous in securing the variable area, which is the ultimate objective of the system-centered hospital architecture plan. Implications: Thereby aims to provide fundamental data on systematic utility space planning in the hospital architecture planning.

With an increase in the commercialization of electricity, and the development of advanced and large electric devices and various wireless radio wave services, concerns over the effects of electromagnetic fields on human health have increased. Accordingly, the World Health Organization encouraged the development of international standards by establishing the 'International Electromagnetic Fields Project' in 1996 based on studies on the harmful effects of electromagnetic fields on the human body. Moreover, the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) classified electromagnetic fields as possible carcinogens under Group 2B category, even though they have been found to have a weak correlation with those effects on human health. Mid-to-large-sized electric facilities used at industrial sites mostly adopt a commercial frequency of 60 Hz, and workers handling these facilities are exposed to such extremely low frequency (ELF) fields for a long time. A previous study suggested that exposure to ELF electromagnetic fields with frequency ranges from 0 to 300 Hz, even for a short time, at densities higher than 100 μT may have harmful effects on human body as it affects the activation of nerve cells in the central nervous system by inducing an electric field and current and stimulating muscles and the nervous system in the body. Such studies, however, focused on home appliances used by ordinary people, and research on facilities utilizing high-capacity current and operated by workers at industrial sites is lacking. Therefore, in this study, a 3000 kilowatt generator, which is a high-capacity electric facility employed at industrial sites, was investigated, and the size of the magnetic fields generated during its no-load and high-load operations per distance to produce a map was measured to reveal spots deemed hazardous according to domestic and international exposure standards. The findings of this study is expected to alleviate workers' anxiety about the harmful effects of magnetic fields on their body and to minimize the level of exposure during operations.

As the scale of explosions diversifies along with the expansion of gas handling and storage facilities, studies on explosion-proof facilities in preparation for accidents is being actively conducted. The gastight door blocks the expansion pressure caused by blast waves or internal fires, and at the same time protects the personnel and equipment inside. For gastight doors, the regulations related to explosion-proof design are not clearly presented, and studies on the explosion pressure resistance performance evaluation of the facility are insufficient. In this study, the gastight door was modeled in a 3D shape with reference to the regulation ASTM regarding the gastight door standard. Afterwards, evaluation for blast-resistant performance of gastight door using Numerical simulation was evaluated by using ANSYS Explicit Dynamics to compare the deformation.

Purpose: Because of the recent COVID-19 pandemic, there have been many cases of using portable negative pressure unit to convert general wards into temporary negative pressure isolation wards. The purpose of this study is to analyze the indoor environment of the switching type wards. Methods: Field measurements and experiments were conducted in a medical facility. Air volume, wind speed and pressure difference were measured in non-occupant state. Dispersion tests were performed with gas and particle matter. Results: The pressure difference between the wards and the corridor was higher than -2.5 Pa in normal situation. However, in the gas and particle dispersion tests, it was found that there were concerns about the spread through leakages in low-airtight walls or ceilings. In addition, it was confirmed that the pressure imbalance in ducts through the non-sealed diffusers could cause back flow during portable unit operation. Furthermore, when there was a pressure difference between adjacent wards planned to be at same pressure level, the possibility of the spread through the leakages was found. Implications: When using portable units for making switching type wards, it is necessary to create airtight space and seal the non-operation diffusers. In case of operating the air handling unit, T.A.B must be performed to adjust the duct balancing.
