The Korea Laboratory Accreditation Scheme (KOLAS) operates accreditation programs for ensuring measurement traceability with the International System (SI) of Units - the highest calibration standard that measurements can be tested against. As of September 2023, there are 70 KOLAS-accredited laboratories in the Republic of Korea that specialize in humidity calibration. Among them, 32 KOLAS laboratories, along with one laboratory not affiliated with KOLAS, participated in the proficiency test (PM 2023-11) for relative humidity transducers in 2023. This proficiency test was conducted within a relative humidity range of 20-90% at a temperature of approximately 20 ℃, taking into consideration the calibration and measurement capability (CMC) of the participating laboratories. The primary objective of the proficiency test was to establish the measurement equivalence between each participating laboratory and the reference laboratory, by calculating the number of equivalence (En). When |En| was less than 1, the measurements from the participating and reference laboratory were equivalent. Out of the 33 participating laboratories, 32 successfully met this criterion and passed the proficiency test.

Relative humidity of air In the greenhouse has to be maintained at 70 to 80 percents to provide a better growth condition of crops. To control relative humidity of air in the greenhouse, a dehumidifier functioning by refrigeration cycle was designed and manufactured in this study. And, results of its performance test in the greenhouse site were reported. The developed dehumidifier has separated condenser and evaporator in the heat exchanger part in order to increase dehumidifying capacity at a low temperature condition. When the conditions of incoming air into the dehumidifier were temperature of $15\~25^{\circ}C$ and relative humidity of $0\~95\%$, quantity of condensed water per hour, ie, dehumidification rate was $4.7\~7.0\;kg/hr$. Relative humidity difference was not greater than 5 percents at various locations in the greenhouse due to proper distributing of dehumidified air through vinyl duct. Thermal energy output from the developed dehumidifier was about 8,5000 kcal/hr that was 7 percents of maximum greenhouse heating load of 10 a.

서울대학교병원 진단면역검사실에서 HLA 형별 검사를 위한 결과 산출하는 과정에서 HLA-DR 검사 시행 건수 총 611건 중 Lot No.20의 시약에서 빈번히 나타나는 위양성과 위음성으로 의심되는 특이 bead 들의 반응을 발견하게 되었다. 따라서 정확한 결과 산출과정을 모색하기 위하여 특이 bead들의 cut-off 수정을 하지 않은 검사결과 533건과 특이 bead의 cut-off 수정을 한 뒤 결과 산출을 한 78건의 사례들을 가지고 cut-off 수정을 야기시키는 요인을 여러 변수로서 규명하고자 하였다. 검체대상의 인구통계특성과 cut-off 수정 여부를 확인하기 위해 빈도분석, 검사실의 습도를 변수로 넣어 기술통계를 진행하였고, cut-off 수정 여부와 인구통계특성의 연관성을 확인하기 위하여 교차분석을 시행, cut-off 수정 여부에 따른 습도의 차이를 검증하기 위해 독립표본 t검증을 실시하였다. 마지막으로 습도수준에 따른 cut-off 수정비율의 관계를 검증하기 위해 로지스틱 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 결과적으로 검사실의 습도 수준이 증가함에 따라 cut-off 수정사례는 0.986배 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 습도가 낮아질수록 cut-off 수정률이 증가한다는 것을 의미한다. 따라서 검사실의 습도 또한 HLA typing 결과에 영향을 미치는 요인임을 시사한다.

The growth and multiplication of Aspergillus flavus Link and A. tamarii Kita were observed in vitro under variable temperatures of $22-31^{\circ}C$. The matte weight of mycelium and number of conidia/ml were significantly higher (P < 0.01) at the higher temperature than the lower temperature in both the species of Aspergillus. In vivo the mortality in silkworm, Bombyx mori L. with the infection of Aspergillus species was significantly (P < 0.01) different at different temperature and relative humidity conditions.

콘크리트 내부의 습도분포와 변화를 예측하는 것은 현장에서 콘크리트의 양생품질을 향상시키기 위하여 필수적이다 콘크리트의 습도는 주로 표면습도를 경계조건을 사용하는 수치해석을 통하여 예측된다. 하지만, 표면습도를 정확히 측정하기 어려우므로 거의 모든 수치해석에 표면습도 대신 대기습도를 사용하여 왔다. 본 논문에서는 표면습도를 정확하게 측정할 수 있는 방법을 제시하고 일련의 실내실험을 통하여 측정된 대기습도와 콘크리트의 내부 및 표면습도를 보여준다. 이와는 별개의 실험을 통하여 타설 직후의 콘크리트가 낮은 습도를 나타내는 원인을 조사하였다. 측정된 습도를 이용하여 콘크리트의 표면습도를 예측할 수 있는 모형을 개발하였으며 추가적인 실험을 통하여 모형의 유효성을 검증하였다.

The diffusion model, which considers diffusion and sorption, is proposed. The FEM program developed on the basis of the diffusion model provides the estimation of chloride concentration according to cyclic humidity and sorption. After the humidity diffusion analysis is carried out, the chloride ion diffusion and sorption analysis are conducted on the basis of the preestimated humidity data in each element. Each element has different analysis variables at different ages and locations. At early ages, the difference between inner and outer relative humidity causes the chloride ion penetration by sorption. As the humidity diffusion reduces the difference with age, the effect of sorption on the chloride ion penetration decreases. By the way, the cyclic humidity increases the effect of sorption on the chloride ion penetration at early ages, and the quantity of chloride ion around steel at later ages. Therefore, the in situ analysis of chloride ion penetration for marine concrete structures must be performed considering the cyclic humidity condition and the long term sorption.

This study evaluated the airborne concentrations of fungi in university laboratories, hospital diagnostic laboratories in Seoul. The incubated fungi was identified by lactophenol cotton blue (LPCB) staining method. Variables such as types of ventilation, temperature and relative humidity were investigated to explain laboratory airborne fungal concentrations. A total of 97 air samples were collected from 10 facilities in two institutions. Aspergilus spp., including Aspergilus niger, Aspergillius flavos and Penicillium spp. were found as predominant species. Airborne fungal concentrations ranged from not detected (ND) to 1,890 CFU/$m^3$. Airborne fungal concentrations were high in general-ventilated facilities and in laboratories where relative humidity ( > 60 %) were high ( p < 0.001). Therefore, we suggest that relative humidity should be maintained to properly reduce the concentration of fungal in university and hospital laboratories.

This paper presents a new method to determine sensitivity coefficients of temperature and humidity of torque transducers by using a natural and seasonal variation of ambient conditions at the laboratory. We had measured the sensitivities of the torque transducers over almost one year using the KRISS 2 kN m torque standard machine. The sensitivity data acquired at various ambient conditions were processed using our measurement model to extract the sensitivity coefficients of temperature and humidity simultaneously with high precision. A comparison with a previous method using an environmental control chamber was carried out to test the feasibility of using our new method. Two results agreed within the uncertainty. We revealed that the torque measuring errors could be 8 times higher than the measurement and calibration capability of KRISS torque standard machine if the sensitivity changes due to the temperature and humidity are not properly corrected during a calibration.

RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) system is recognition technology which can maintain various object's information. Reliability of RFID tags is the most important factor in RFID system. In this paper, we proposed ALT (Accelerated Life Test) method for UHF RFID tags. Temperature and humidity were adopted as stress factors and the accelerated life tests were conducted in three different conditions. We performed failure analysis for identifying failure mechanism and statistical analysis of test data. In the statistical analysis, we employed Inverse Power law for relationship between tag's life and stress. Through the statistical analysis, we proposed acceleration factor for several levels of temperature-humidity. The reliability qualification test plans were also designed for the tag's target reliability.
