The current paper describes the indoor/outdoor air quality in school environments through analyses of the heavy metal concentrations using Inductive Coupled Plasma(ICP). School environments in a heavy traffic area, two industrial areas, quasi-industrial area, and residential area were evaluated. The results were as follows: (1) The locations with the highest indoor and outdoor concentrations of heavy metals were the industrial areas followed by the heavy traffic area, residential area, and quasi-industrial area in a descending order of magnitude. Plus, the indoor heavy metal concentrations were higher then the outdoor ones. (2) The main heavy metal components were Zn, Al and Ca. Higher concentration levels were found indoors than outdoors. The heavy metal concentrations were also higher in the classrooms than in the corridor or outdoors. (3) The total heavy metal concentrations in the studied areas were highly dependent on the weather elements. including the relative humidity, mixing ratio, and wet-bulb depression. Accordingly, special ventilation systems are recommended to reduce air pollution in school environments.

Recently, concentration of fine and ultra-fine particulate matter(PM) has been increased in KOREA. The increase of PM in KOREA is due to increase of domestic industries and yellow dust from china. PM is known to cause diseases such as dyspnoea, asthma, arrhythmia. Since PM is harmful to human, KOREA Ministry of Environment(ME) warns people to stay indoors when the outdoor PM concentration is high. However, prior studies has shown that indoor PM concentration can be relatively high when outdoor PM concentration is high due to infiltration of PM into buildings though leakage areas. In this study, airtightness, indoor and outdoor pressure difference and PM 2.5 & 10 concentration were measured in an apartment complex to observe PM infiltrating into building. Field measurement was conducted in newly-built apartment buildings to avoid the influence of indoor PM which can be generated by residents. The airtightness test was conducted to identify the leakage areas of the apartment, such as electric outlets and supply/exhaust diffusers. The airtightness test result showed that the air leakage area of the building was dominant in buildings envelop. According to indoor and outdoor pressure difference measurement result and PM concentration measurement result, it can be concluded that outdoor PM can infiltrate into indoor by leakage areas when wind is blown toward the apartment. As a result, pressure difference formed by the external weather condition and architectural characteristics such as the airtightness in building can influence PM to infiltrate into buildings. In further studies, I/O ratio, stack-effect, infiltration and penetration factor will be considered.

Quantification of viable forms of microbial community (bacteria and fungi) using culture-dependent methods was done in order to characterize the indoor air quality (IAQ). Role of those factors, which may influence the concentration of viable counts of bacteria and fungi, like ventilation, occupancy, outdoor concentration and environmental parameters (temperature and relative humidity) were also determined. Volumetric-infiltration sampling technique was employed to collect air samples both inside and outside the schools. As regard of measurements of airborne viable culturable microflora of schools during one academic year, the level of TVMCs in school buildings was ranged between 803-5368 cfu/$m^3$. Viable counts of bacteria (VBCs) were constituted 63.7% of the mean total viable microbial counts where as viable counts of fungi (VFCs) formed 36.3% of the total. Mean a total viable microbial count (TVMCs) in three schools was 2491 cfu/$m^3$. Outdoor level of TVMCs was varied from 736-5855 cfu/$m^3$. Maximum and minimum VBCs were 3678-286 cfu/m3 respectively. Culturable fungal counts were ranged from 268-2089 cfu/$m^3$ in three schools. Significant positive correlation (p < 0.01) was indicated that indoor concentration of viable community reliant upon outdoor concentration. Temperature seemed to have a large effect (p < 0.05, p < 0.01) on the concentration of viable culturable microbial community rather than relative humidity. Consistent with the analysis and findings, the concentration of viable cultural counts of bacteria and fungi found indoors, were of several orders of magnitude, depending upon the potential of local, spatial and temporal factors, IO ratio appeared as a crucial indicator to identify the source of microbial contaminants.

본 연구는 비육기 이전에 초지에서 방목한 한우육과 옥내에서 비육한 한우육의 품질을 비교하고자 실시하였다. 방목사육구는 $28{\pm}4$개월령 암소 5두를 7개월 동안(4월-11월)방목한 다음 다시 6개월 동안 옥내에서 비육하였으며, 옥내사육구는 6개월령 거세우 10두를 24개월 동안 옥내에서 비육하였다. 시료로 등심(M. longissimus)부위를 채취하여 $4{\pm}0.2^{\circ}C$에서 7일 동안 저장하였다. 도체성적은 방목우의 도체중, 지육율, 배최장근단면적 및 육질등급이 옥내사육우보다 낮았으나(p<0.05), 조직감 및 성숙도는 방목우가 높았다(p<0.05). 조지방 및 n-6 지방산, n-6/n-3은 방목우가 낮았으나(p<0.05), n-3 지방산, 포화지방산은 방목우가 높았다(p<0.05). pH 및 보수력은 방목우가 낮았으며(p<0.05), 전자코에 의한 향기패턴은 두 처리구들간에 뚜렷한 차이를 보였다. 저장중 품질은 방목우의 지방 및 육색소 산화안정성이 낮았으며, 옥내사육 우보다 어둡고 덜 붉은 육색을 나타내었다.

The objectives of this study are to analyze the application of radiant floor cooling and to evaluate the control methods through experiments when the radiant heating system is used for cooling. Through the experiment analysis the control methods such as on/off control, variable flow control and outdoor reset with indoor temperature feedback control are evaluated and compared. The cooling curve (reset ratio) is found for radiant cooling, which shows tole relation between outside air temperature and supply water temperature. Comparison of cooling methods shows that outdoor reset with indoor temperature feedback control is more appropriate than on/off control and variable flow control with regard to prevention of the condensation and thermal comfort.

이 논문은 옥내와 옥외에 걸친 무선 통신 환경에서 통신 성능을 향상시키는 기술에 관한 것이다. 옥외 무선 통신에서 신호 감쇠는 주로 채널의 페이딩 특성으로 발생되는데, 기존의 다중 안테나 방식과 배열 신호처리 알고리즘을 적용하면 이 문제를 해결할 수 있다. 그러나, 옥내 및 옥외 무선 채널을 가진 통신인 경우, 채널 특성은 페이딩과 각도 퍼짐 특성 모두에 영향을 받으므로, 일반적인 방식으로 채널의 각도 퍼짐 특성을 극복할 수 없다. 이를 해결하기 위해 이 논문에서는 옥내와 옥외에 걸친 채널 특성을 분석하고, 각각에 적합한 채널 모형을 생각한다. 또한, 옥내외 채널의 각도 퍼짐 특성을 극복하고 옥내외 통신 성능을 향상하기 위해, 새로운 평균주사 벡터 개념을 사용한 배열 안테나 처리 알고리즘을 제안하고 성능 분석을 수행한다. 컴퓨터 모의 실험을 통한 성능 분석으로 옥내 전송 신호를 옥외 환경에서 다중 안테나로 수신하는 경우, 기존 방식보다 제안된 방식이 좋은 신호대 간섭 잡음비 특성을 가짐을 보인다.

Eight aromatic hydrocarbons were quantified in a newly constructed building before occupancy during the period of November 1997 to January 1998. Air samples were collected in 6 L stainless steel canisters for 8 hours based on working hour. It was found that the measured total concentration of aromatic hydrocarbons decreases rapidly with time up to a steady-state value. However, the fractions for each aromatic hydrocarbon were greatly changed with time. The concentration ratios of indoor to outdoor for aromatic hydrocarbons are greater than 1 during early period of the measurement, and the ratios decrease with time. The concentrations of toluene, m+p-xylene, ethylbenzene, and o-xylene are much higher than those of styrene, 1, 2, 4-trimethylbenzene, and 1, 3, 5-f trimethylbenzene in indoor air. The concentration fractions of m+p-xylene, ethylbenzed, and o-xylene in indoor air are about twice as hight as those in outdoor air measured during the similar period. It was concluded that the aromatic hydrocarbons were emitted from building materials, paints, and adhesives in an-built building.

The characteristics of energy Performance for total heat exchanger have been investigated under various conditions. In cooling operation the latent and enthalpy efficiency are affected by the difference of absolute humidity ratio between indoor and outdoor air. In addition to this the characteristics of absorbing material in the element affects the energy performance. Low dry bulb temperature of indoor air or high absolute humidity ratio in outdoor air give high latent and enthalpy efficiency even with the same temperature difference of dry bulb temperate between indoor and outdoor air.

본 연구에서는 냉방운전 시 가변용량방식의 압축기를 적용한 시스템 에어컨의 냉방능력과 증발기 및 응축기의 온도특성을 조사하기 위해 압축기 운전율(10가지)과 실내외 온도(16가지)의 변화에 따른 시스템의 운전특성을 실험적으로 조사하였다. 시스템의 운전특성은 칼로리미터를 이용하여 측정되었다. 냉방능력은 실외온도가 낮아질수록 실내온도가 증가할수록 더 큰 값을 그리고 압축기 운전율이 증가할수록 냉방능력은 선형적으로 증가하였다. 응축온도는 실외온도 변화에 증발온도는 실내온도 변화에 더 민감하였다. 또한 압력-엔탈피선도를 이용하여 사이클의 운전특성을 분석하였다.

LPWAN(Low Power Wide Area Network) 기술은 사물인터넷을 위한 M2M(Machine to Machine) 네트워킹 기술이다. 이 기술의 목적은 저전력, 장거리, 저속 통신을 지원하는 것이며 대표적으로 LoRaWAN(Long Range Wide Area Network)가 있다. LoRaWAN를 이용하여 사물들 간의 정보를 교환하기 위해서는 다양한 환경에 대하여 링크의 성능을 알아야 하는데 실증적인 환경을 기반으로 한 성능 분석 연구는 활발하게 진행되고 있지 않다. 따라서 본 논문은 실내, 실외 환경에서 링크 품질에 영향을 끼칠 수 있는 다양한 변수에 대하여 LoRaWAN의 물리적 통신 기술인 LoRa(Long Range) 링크의 성능을 실증적으로 평가한다. 이를 위해 물리적인 성능 모니터링 시스템을 설계하고 구현하였으며, 이후 통신 실험 환경을 실내, 실외 기반으로 구성하였으며 설정 파라미터 및 거리에 따른 SNR(Signal to Noise Ratio), RSSI(Received Signal Strength Indication), PDR(Packet Delivery Ratio)의 성능을 평가하였다.
