Renewable energy has become more popular with the increase in the use of solar power. Consequently, the disposal of defective and old solar panels is gradually increasing giving rise to a new problem. Furthermore, the efficiency and power output decreases with aging. Researchers worldwide are engaged in solving this problem by developing eco-module technologies that restore and reuse the solar panels according to the defect types rather than simple disposal. The eco-module technology not only solves the environmental problem, but also has economic advantages, such as extending the module life. Replacement of encapsulants contributes to a major portion of the module maintenance plan, as the degradation of encapsulants accounts for 60% of the problems found in modules over the past years. However, the current International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard testing was designed for the commercialization of solar modules. As the problem caused by long-term use is not considered, this method is not suitable for the quality assurance evaluation of the eco-module. Therefore, to design a new accelerated test, this paper provides an overview of EVA degradation and comparison with the IEC and accelerated tests.

The joint diseases threaten modern people's healthy life. They bring about a long pain, an anasarca, loss of joint function or even deformation and rigidity of joint, limiting people's ordinary activities much. The chronic joint patients may be subject to some hypochondria caused by anxiety for their life, social isolation, financial problem and physical disability. Therefore, this population should continue to be duely taken care of by medical personnels. In particular, nurses should adequately help these people to recover and improve their health through suitable adaptations. With such basic conceptions in mind, this study was aimed at reviewing these patients' conditions in their ordinary life before and after a plastic operation for artificial joint replacement as well as their satisfaction with their life. For this purpose, those patients who underwent some plastic operations for artificial joint replacement at university hospitals in Seoul from January 2, 1993 to June 30, 1995 were selected as the population of this study. Among them, 87 people were randomly sampled to answer a questionnaire designed specially. For the surveying tools, Jette's (1980) scale was applied to address the sample people's inconveniences experienced and supports received in their ordinary life, while the scale of Wood, Wylie & Sheafer was used to measure their satisfaction with their life. The collected data were analyzed for percentiles, means, SD, t-test and Pearson's correlations. The results of survey can be summarized as follows ; As a result of t-test the frequencies of other people's support before and after the plastic operation, it was disclosed that those who underwent the operation were supported less frequently. In addition, as a result of t-testing their satisfaction with life before and after the operation, it was found that the operation increased their satisfaction with life significantly. Meanwhile, as a result of t-test inconveniences, frequencies of supports and life satisfaction before and after the plastic operation for artificial knee replacement, it was disclosed that only the inconveniences were significantly reduced after the operation. In contrast, the t-test the variables before and after the plastic operation for artificial hip replacement, it was found that only the frequencies of other people's supports were significant reduced after the operation. Furthermore, the differences 6 months, one year and two years after the plastic operation for artificial joint replacement were t-tested on the variables. As a result, it was disclosed that people's inconvenience, frequencies of supports and life satisfaction were not improved 6 months after the operation but their frequencies of supports decreased significantly one year after, while their inconveniences and life satisfaction were significantly improved two years after. As a result of analyzing the variables with Pearson's correlations, inconveniences and frequency of supports were negatively correlated significantly with the life satisfaction. In conclusion, the plastic operation for artificial joint replacement significantly improved people's living inconveniences, reduced their frequency of other people's support and enhanced their satisfaction with life. To break don the plastic operation for artificial knee replacement improved patients' inconveniences, while the plastic operation for artificial hip replacement not only improved patients' inconveniences but reduced the frequencies of other people's support also. Finally, the finding that the plastic operation for artificial joint replacement brought about the improvement two years after suggests that this period is needed for the patients to adapt themselves to the post-operation conditions.

The high temperature creep properties of the generating plant's high temperature tube, pipe and header and such are very significant in accordance with long-time exposure to the high temperature and pressure environment. Not only this, but as the welding procedure is compulsory for the cohesion of components, the creep properties regarding the local microstructures of steel weldment are very important. In order to understand the creep properties regarding the local microstructures of steel weldment, the SP-Creep test which is easy to get sample from the field component was conducted. The local microstructure of steel weldment, that is, W.M. and B.M.'s microstructures were observed using the SEM. The rupture time of W.M. was longer as 110 % averagely in a same condition, which is the consequence of the difference of the microstructure. Each lethargy coefficient of B.M. and W.M. is evaluated by the relation among the temperature, load and the rupture time from SP-Creep Test. The life estimation equation can be induced by the transformation of Power-law. B.M. and W.M. for each $550\;^{\circ}C$ and $575\;^{\circ}C$, the very similar to normal temperature of the domestic thermal power generation in working, are estimated.

This paper introduces the effect of grease on the degradation characteristics of bearings used as key components of packaging equipment and automation systems. Bearings parts are installed to fix and support the rotating body of the system, and performance degradation of the bearings has a great effect on the life of the system too. When bearings are used in various devices and systems, the grease is applied to reduce friction and improve fatigue life. Determining the type of lubricant (grease) is important because it has a great influence on the operating environment and lifespan and ensures long lifespan of systems and facilities. However, studies that simultaneously compared and analyzed the change in mechanical degradation characteristics and the comparison of chemical degradation characteristics according to grease types under actual operating conditions are insufficient. In this paper, three types of small harmonic drive, high-load reducer, and low-load reducer grease used in power transmission joint modules are experimentally selected and finally injected into ball bearings with a load (19,500N) to improve bearing durability. Degradation characteristics were tested by attaching to test equipment. At this time, after the durability test under the same load conditions, the mechanical degradation characteristics, that is temperature, vibration according to the three greases types. In addition, the chemical degradation characteristics of the corresponding grease was compared to present the results of mutual correlation analysis.

벼농사용 살충제인 fipronil의 비의도적 노출에 의한 꿀벌(Apis mellifera L.)의 피해를 확인하기 위해 급성독성시험, 엽상잔류독성시험, cage를 이용한 소규모야외시험을 실시하였다. 급성접촉독성시험에서 24시간과 48시간의 $LD_{50}$은 각각 0.008, $0.005{\mu}g$ a.i./bee 로 꿀벌에 매우 강한 급성독성을 보였으며 급성위해지수(QHc)는 12,500으로 매우 높은 수준이었다. 엽상잔류독성시험에서는 피프로닐 액상수화제 살포 후 28일까지 90%이상 치사율을 보여 장기간 꿀벌에 독성이 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이때 fipronil의 표면부착잔류량(dislodgeable foliar residue)을 분석한 결과 $DT_{50}$은 9일, $DT_{90}$은 31일이었다. 야외시험의 결과에서도 28일의 치사율이 40%로 조사되어 실내 엽상잔류독성시험과 유사한 잔류독성을 보였다. 이상의 결과를 종합하면 fipronil은 꿀벌에 대한 급성독성이 매우 강하면서 장기간의 잔류독성이 있어 잎 표면의 매우 낮은 잔류량으로 꿀벌에 피해를 줄 가능성이 매우 높은 살충제이다. 따라서 재배작물뿐만 아니라 살포지역 인근의 밀원식물에 약제살포시 바람에 날려 오염될 경우 화분매개용 꿀벌과 자연생태계 유용곤충에 위해가능성이 매우 높기 때문에 꿀벌이 왕성한 활동을 하는 시기에는 야외살포를 금지하여야 하며, 궁극적으로 야외생태계 유용곤충을 보호하기 위해서는 실내사용 목적으로만 사용되도록 제한해야 할 것으로 판단된다.

South Dakota is an important agricultural state in the United States with annual cash receipts from agricultural products exceeding $9 billion dollars. This production is possible because of large areas of productive soils. This publication describes the general characteristics and qualities of the major soil groups recognized in South Dakota. The soil forming factors are briefly described, soil classification is introduced, and the genesis of typical Udalf and Ustoll soils are discussed. Soil management issues impacting the use of SD soils are considered. Long-term (>70 yrs) cultivation has significantly reduced surface soil organic carbon levels (>30% reduction) when compared to non-cultivated soil. Soil test phosphorus levels significantly increased in cultivated fields due to commercial P fertilization. The major long-term production problems for SD soils are conservation of soil moisture, organic matter and nitrogen losses, fertility management, and wind and water erosion control.

In the last decade, wireless sensor networks have emerged as a promising technology that could accelerate progress in the field of structural monitoring. The main advantages of wireless sensor networks compared to conventional monitoring technologies are fast deployment, small interference with the surroundings, self-organization, flexibility and scalability. These features could enable mass application of monitoring systems, even on smaller structures. However, since wireless sensor network nodes are battery powered and data communication is the most energy consuming task, transferring all the acquired raw data through the network would dramatically limit system lifetime. Hence, data reduction has to be achieved at the node level in order to meet the system lifetime requirements of real life applications. The objective of this paper is to discuss some general aspects of data processing and management in monitoring systems based on wireless sensor networks, to present a prototype monitoring system for civil engineering structures, and to illustrate long-term field test results.
