Moss is used as an important material in indoor landscaping as well as outdoor landscaping. Moss is vivid green during growth and excellent in ornamental value. But when temperature drops, moss stops growth, turns brown or loses its ornamental value. In the present experiment, for the purpose of classifying native mosses according to the growth response to low temperature, the temperature of the plant growth chamber was set to 15℃/5℃ (16h/8h, day/night) and 5℃ (24h) for 8 weeks using nine native moss species. Thereafter, the temperature of the plant growth chamber was set to 20℃, and then the changes of moss block area and moss color were measured. The changes of moss block area and moss color were measured using a Photoshop program, after each moss block was photographed. As a result, Atrichum undulatum (Hedw.). Beauv., Etodon luridus (Griff.) A. Jaeger, Bachythecium plumosum (Hedw.) Schimp, Plagiomnium cuspidatum (Hedw.) T.J. Kop, and Hypnum plumaeforme Wilson showed a small decrease in moss block area at low temperature, and their recovery were the fastest at 20℃. These three species had higher green values at low temperature compared to other species, and the greenness increased rapidly at 20℃. On the other hand, Atrichum undulatum (Hedw.). Beauv., Marchantia polymorpha L., and Thuidium cymbifolium (Mitt.) A. Jaeger showed the smallest block area at low temperature and the lowest recovery even at 20℃. Their green values also decreased significantly at low temperature, and maintained low green value even at 20℃. These results showed that these three moss species are sensitive to low temperature. The remaining Myuroclada maximowiczii, Plagiomnium cuspidatum, and H. erectiusculum showed moderate responses to low temperature compared to other six species of mosses.

An atrium space, unlike ordinary office rooms, accommodates variety of activities such as moving and resting of people and usually houses variety of vegitation to improve amenity and indoor environment. Many atrium buildings in Korea have been designed by considering the environmental criteria for human beings, not for the vegitation in the atrium space. Especially the daylighting designs are mostly focused on the required illuminances for various visual tasks of the occupants and glare controls. As a result, some atrium spaces do not provide sufficient light to the interior plants. Consequently, these atrium spaces require a high level of electric lighting to compensate the deficit of natural light for the photosynthesis of the vegitation. The purpose of this study was to suggest design guidelines for 4-sided atrium spaces having different well indices (WI), plan aspect ratio (PAR), and cardinal orientation. The findings from this study might be referenced by building designers when designing or selecting canopy systems by considering the daylight performances of the uncovered atrium spaces. In the study, the daylight performance was evaluated in terms of daylight autonomy (DA).

We investigated perceptions and image analysis on scientists studying small organisms reflected in elementary student's drawing using a modified version of the Drawing-A-Scientist-Test. The participants were 530 of fifth and sixth graders consisted of 449 ordinary students and 81 science gifted students. The data were collected from associated words, images and explanatory notes depicted by students engaged in questionnaires. The results indicated that a larger number of students reminded small sized animals and/or plants as words associated with small organisms. In addition, some students depicted anthropomorphic or abstract microorganisms. In this study, more stereotypes of scientists' appearance were exhibited at sixth graders and city region group. Most of the students depicted indicators such as lab coat, glasses, scientific instruments for observing, indoor, male and young, whereas only a few students depicted collaborative work. There was statistically significant difference between girls and boys, because boys perceived male scientists only, while half of girls depicted female. More frequent research instruments and scientific captions were used when science gifted students depicted scientists studying small organisms. These results could be contributed to education on microorganisms in elementary science.

Higher plants can be valuable genetic assay systems for monitoring environmental pollutants and evaluating their biological toxicity. Two assays are considered ideal for in situ monitoring and testing of soil, airborne and aqueous mutagenic agents; the Tradescantia stamen hair assay for somatic cell mutations and the Tradescantia micronucleus assay for chromosome aberrations. Both assays can be used for in vivo and in vitro testing of mutagens. Since higher plant systems are now recognized as excellent indicators and have unique advantages over in situ monitoring and screening, higher plant systems could be accepted by regulatory authorities as an alternative first-tier assay system for the detection of possible genetic damages resulting from the pollutants or chemicals used and produced by industrial sectors. It has been concluded that potential mutagen and carcinogen such as the heavy metals among indoor air particulates, volatile compounds in the working places, soil, and water pollutants contribute to the overall health risk. This contribution can be considerable under certain circumstances. It is therefore important to identify the level of genotoxic activity in the environment and to relate it to the biomarkers of a health risk in humans. The results from the higher plant bioassays could make a significant contribution to assessing the risks of pollutants and protecting the public from agents that can cause mutation and/or cancer. The plant bioassays, which are relatively inexpensive and easy to handle, are recommended for the scientists who are interested in monitoring pollutants and evaluating their environmental toxicity to living organisms.

The efficiency, reliability and performance of any heat pump unit can only be ascertained after it has been tested and rated. For this reason, specific facilities, equiped with testing plants are built. Heat pump calorimeter is the facilities used by most of these testing facilities in their rating and certification process. The ultimate function of calorimeters is to, control and maintain the constant standard test conditions (indoor/outdoor entering temperatures and flow rate etc) during testing period. In this study, the test standards of heat pump unit and the structure of the calorimeter are surveyed. In addition, this study analyzes the total energy consumption of a water to water heat pump calorimeter. Heat pump calorimeter consumed much energy to excute the heat pump tests. The energy consumption of the calorimeter was higher than the heat pump unit, and it was increased as the heat pump unit capacity decreased.

In the recent 2017 annual average fine dust concentration (PM2.5) statistics released by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), Korea has a high concentration of 25.14㎍/m3, which is about twice the average of 12.5㎍/m3 in OECD countries. Fine dust (PM2.5) is the main source of secondary pollutant production by the reaction of primary pollutants emitted from automobiles and thermal power plants, mainly composed of sulfates, nitrates, and organic carbon. The permeable block is an eco-friendly product that prevents rainwater from collecting on the surface of the road because it does not penetrate the groundwater properly, and is widely constructed on sidewalks or parking lots to recharge groundwater in case of rain. In addition, the pavement of the permeable block is a fundamental solution to reduce pollution by preventing rainwater from flowing into the stream, and it also has the advantage of easy replacement as well as low replacement costs. Therefore, this study was a basic experiment to produce permeable blocks mixed with TiO2 and diatomite to improve indoor air quality, and intended to analyze the flexural strength and compressive strength of permeable blocks mixed with TiO2.

To establish an indoor-rearing system for the Large Copper butterfly, $Lycaena$ $dispar$ and the Small Copper butterfly, $Lycaena$ $phlaeas$, the effect of temperature, photoperiod and host plants on larval development was investigated. The larvae of $Lycaena$ $dispar$ fed on $Rumex$ $crispus$, whereas the larvae of $Lycaena$ $phlaeas$ ate both $Rumex$ $crispus$ and $Rumex$ $acetosa$. The duration of the larval period of $Lycaena$ $dispar$ was 13.8 days on $R.$ $crispus$ and that, of $Lycaena$ $phlaeas$ was 15.9 days and 15.2 days on $R.$ $acetosa$ and $R.$ $crispus$ respectively. Laboratory experiments show that the Large Copper larvae are able to feed on other $Rumex$ species without harming their overall survival and can utilize these alternative host plants at least as efficiently as their natural host plant. This result suggests that plant chemistry is not responsible for their lack of utilization of the alternative host plants in the wild. Host plant choice by ovipositing females was measured with the two alternative hosts. $Lycaena$ $dispar$ preferred $R.$ $crispus$ to $R.$ $acetosa$, wheareas $Lycaena$ $phlaeas$ preferred $R.$ $acetosa$ to $R.$ $crispus$. Temperature has been proposed as an important determinant of developmental rate, lifespan and mortality in invertebrates. As temperature increased, length of the developmental period gradually decreased. The developmental period of the Large Copper larvae was 11.0 days and 28.5 days at $30^{\circ}C$ and $17.5^{\circ}C$, respectively.

도심지 내 미세먼지 저감 식재를 위한 식물 소재 선정 시에는 식물의 흡착 기능에 영향을 미치는 식물의 잎 모양, 질감, 수피의 형태 등 형태적 특성을 종합적으로 고려하여 선정하여야 한다. 그러나 지금까지 식물을 통한 미세먼지 저감에 대한 연구는 식물의 흡착 기능보다 흡수 기능에 대한 연구가, 실외식물보다 실내식물인 관엽식물을 대상으로 한 연구가 주로 진행되어 왔다. 특히, 미세먼지 저감 수종 선정 기준이 구체적이지 않아 미세먼지 저감 식재를 위한 식물 소재 선정 기준에 대한 연구가 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구는 퍼지다기준 의사결정법(Fuzzy MCDM)을 활용하여 미세먼지 저감에 영향을 미치는 8가지 지표 항목에 대한 우선순위를 도출하고 도심 내 미세먼지 저감 식재를 위한 수종 선정 기준을 마련하였다. 이를 위하여 미세먼지 관련 분야 전공자와 미세먼지 관련 연구 경험자들을 대상으로 설문 조사를 실시하였다. 설문 조사 분석 결과, 미세먼지 저감에 영향을 미치는 지표 항목 중 잎 면적과 수종의 종류가 가장 높은 순위를 나타냈다. 그리고 잎 표면의 거칠기, 수고, 성장 속도, 잎의 복잡성, 잎 가장자리 형태, 수피 특징 순서로 우선순위가 높게 나타났다. 잎 표면이 거친 수종을 선정할 경우에는 잎에 털이 있고, 광택이 나며, 왁스층이 있는 수종을 우선적으로 선정하는 것이 좋다. 잎의 형태를 고려할 경우, 단일 잎보다 3종 혹은 2종 잎과 손바닥 형태의 잎을 선정하고, 잎의 가장자리는 밋밋한 모양보다는 톱니 모양의 잎을 선별하여 공기 중의 미세먼지가 잎의 표면에 흡착되는 표면적 비율을 높아지게 할 필요가 있다. 수피의 특성을 고려할 경우에는 피목이나 무늬종보다는 코르크층이 있고 껍질이탈이나 갈라짐이 관찰되거나, 앞으로 관찰될 가능성이 높은 수종을 선정하는 것이 바람직하다. 본 연구는 도심 내 미세먼지 저감을 위한 식재계획 시 식물의 미세먼지 흡착 기능에 영향을 미치는 식물의 형태적 특성을 중심으로 식물 소재 선정 기준에 대한 우선순위를 제시하였다는 것에 의의가 있다. 본 연구에서 도출한 결과는 도심지 내 수목 식재 계획을 위한 수종 선정 시 기초 자료로서 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
