  • Both electrogalvanized and hot-dip galvanized steel sheets have been finally produced via organic-inorganic surface coating process on the zinc surface to enhance corrosion resistance and afford additional functional properties. Recently, POSCO has been developed a variety of chromate-free coated steels that are widely used in household, construction and automotive applications. New organic-inorganic hybrid coating solutions as chromate alternatives are comprised of surface modified silicate with silane coupling agent and inorganic corrosion inhibitors as an aqueous formulation. In this paper we have prepared new type of hybrid coatings and evaluated quality performances such as corrosion resistance, spot weldability, thermal tolerance, and paint adhesion property etc. The electrogalvanized steels with these coating solutions exhibit good anti-corrosion property compared to those of chromate coated steels. Detailed components composition of coating solutions and experimental results suggest that strong binding between organic-inorganic hybrid coating layer and zinc surface plays a key role in the advanced quality performances.

  • The permissible limit of ammonia concentration in drinking water recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) is 1.5 mg/L. However, in the case of groundwater in Kathmandu, Nepal, the concentration of ammonia fluctuates dramatically from 0 to 120 mg/L at different locations and groundwater depths (Chapagain et al., 2010). Such a high concentration of ammonia causes aesthetic problems in drinking water, such as bad taste and odor; hence, prior treatment is required. In Kathmandu, half of the population utilizes groundwater, which is also employed for drinking water, but owing to a lack of knowledge of household water filters, residents of Kathmandu tend to depend greatly on commercially available jar water than on the installation of a proper household filtration method. Thus, in our study, we employed adsorption and reverse osmosis (RO) as two of the most viable decentralized/household treatment options to address the issue of high contamination of ammonia in drinking water. We evaluated their performances from technical and the economic perspectives using synthetically prepared groundwater at varying ammonia concentrations (50 mg/L and 15 mg/L). Consequently, it was found that adsorption via ion exchange (IE) resin was a comparatively better ammonia removal technology than RO, with 100% ammonia removal even after regeneration; the removal by RO was limited to up to 90%. Furthermore, our study suggests that IE is the most suitable ammonia removal technology for places with lower water consumption (< 50 L/day), whereas RO seemed to be a cost-effective technology for places with higher water consumption, where the daily water demand exceeds 50 L/day. Lastly, these assessments suggest that installing a suitable household treatment system would be more efficient and sustainable from both technical and economic points of view than purchasing commercially bottled water.

  • In this paper, we suggest a usage profiles for electric home appliances. In Korea, it is published the records for total consumption of electricity in a house but the electric home appliance consumption records in a households are not. To build the data, we must collect the usage of every appliances in a house and the information of the household which live in the house. Unfortunately, it is hard to get the data because of the worry about the breach of privacy. In this paper, we make a scenarios on the electricity consumption pattern of a few households type. Based on the conjecture, we make the power consumption profiles for some home appliances. Comparison to the total electric consumption records for a house, we found our scenarios are quite reasonable.

  • The purpose of this study is to estimate the expenditure determinants of the leisure goods consumption market. In order to achieve the research purpose, 6597 samples of household trend survey data were used. Tobit model was applied to estimate expenditure determinants. As a result of analysis, expenditure determinants for sporting goods were influenced by marital status, education level, age, number of households, housing ownership and income level. The variables influencing spending on leisure items such as mountain climbing, fishing and hunting items were influenced by gender, marital status, education level, age, number of households, housing ownership and income level. The analysis results can be used as policy data for the establishment of leisure culture. The National Statistical Office's household trend survey is a yearly survey through a nationwide survey, but despite the fact that it is reliable data, it is not possible to apply various variables such as psychological characteristics to estimate consumer expenditure determinants more concretely. Has a limit of.

  • As the number of single-person households increases, it is not easy to ask for help alone if a single-person household is severely injured in the home. This paper detects abnormal event when members of a single household in the home are seriously injured. It proposes an vision detection algorithm that analyzes and recognizes patterns through videos that are collected based on home CCTV. And proposes audio detection algorithms that analyze and recognize patterns of sound that occur in households based on Smartphones. If only each algorithm is used, shortcomings exist and it is difficult to detect situations such as serious injuries in a wide area. So I propose a fusion method that effectively combines the two algorithms. The performance of the detection algorithm and the precise detection performance of the proposed fusion method were evaluated, respectively.

  • Since a general household fan has only one left/right turning stage, the rotation angle cannot be adjusted leading to cases whether the wind reaches to an unnecessary area or vice versa. In this paper, we propose a method to efficiently control the turning section to selectively send wind to a necessary space while reducing energy waste. The minimum rotation angle was obtained by experimentally measured the stationary wind direction angle of the fan, and the optimal number of turning stages was selected by appropriately dividing the space where the wind reaches. Through this, it was confirmed that if the fan has a minimum rotation angle of 45°, a turning section of 3 stages and its rotation angle is increased by twice the stationary wind direction angle at each stage, the wind is distributed efficiently. Therefore, it is considered that the selective turning stage control proposed in this paper can minimize energy waste without significant change of the fan structure.

  • The purpose of this study was to analyze the factors that demographic factors, radiation knowledge level, and radiation awareness could be affecting the benefits of radiation. From July 2022 to July 2023, after receiving consent to participate by using the link of Naver through Social Network Service (SNS) for the general public, 312 people were surveyed by self-registration method without collecting personal information. The questionnaire consisted of a total of 25 questions following demographic factors (5 questions including age group by life cycle, sex, monthly household income, residence), radiation knowledge level (8 questions including basic physical, biological effects, radiation protection technology), radiation awareness (12 questions including risk, management, benefit). Independent sample T-test and ANOVA tests were performed for significant differences in the average radiation awareness between variables, and hierarchical regression was performed to identify influencing factors on radiation benefits. As a result, the benefit of radiation was significantly high among the radiation awareness, but the awareness of the danger of radiation was insufficient to the level of recognizing it as safe. Men had significantly higher awareness of radiation management and benefits than women, and the awareness of radiation management was significantly higher in the middle class with a monthly household income of 4.31 million won or more. The higher the knowledge level of radiation, the higher the awareness of the benefits of radiation. The factors that had a positive effect on radiation benefits were the high level of radiation knowledge and awareness of radiation management.
