  • The study aimed to assess the availability of intellectual capital in Kuwaiti private universities in terms of its three dimensions (human capital, structural capital, and relational capital), as well as its role in crisis management (crisis preparedness, crisis mitigation, confrontation, and response to the crisis, and learning from the crisis) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Members of the boards of trustees, university presidents, their deputies, and deans of the colleges were chosen as respondents to this study from a sample of (8) private universities in Kuwait, with the sampling unit consisting of leaders in these universities. The study revealed that all dimensions of intellectual capital play a statistically significant impact in executing crisis management during the COVID-19 pandemic at Kuwaiti private universities after conducting the data analysis process. The study concluded that universities should pay attention to intellectual capital in all its dimensions (human capital, structural capital, and relational capital) because of its role in improving their ability to implement crisis management strategies and strive to improve their capabilities to face crises by implementing crisis management strategies.

  • 인천광역시는 1999년 10월 도시철도1호선 개통에 따른 역세권 개발은 대규모 도시계획사업이지만 역주변의 토지이용을 특성화 하지 못하여서 교통 혼잡 발생과 이용자의 불편을 초례하고 도시문제가 개선되기 못하고 심화되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 인천 1호선 전철의 역세권 주변 인구 및 토지이용현황 등을 분석하여 도시전체에 대한 합리적인 기능의 배분과 적정한 개발수준을 결정하기 위해 각 역세권의 기능과 목적을 고려하였다. 각각의 역세권 유형별 특성변화를 분석하여 향후 건설될 역세권에 대한 건설로 발생하게 될 파급효과와 교통 및 토지이용의 변화를 고려한 통합적이고 특성화된 역세권 개발 방향을 제시하고자 한다.

  • 지금까지의 여러 연구들에서 유압식 반능동 시스템은 적절하게 동작을 한다면 전능동 유압식 댐퍼 만큼의 구조물 진동저감 능력이 있음을 끊임없이 보여주고 있다. 이 논문에서는 축소 구조물에 설치된 반능동 시스템의 진동저감 성능을 기술하고 있다. 본 논문에서 제안한 시스템의 에너지를 소산시키기 위해 리아푸노브방법을 적용한 바이스테이트 제어의 효과를 수치적 및 실험적으로 입증한 결과들을 먼저 제시한다. 또한 바이스테이트 제어 성능을 다른 두 제어기와 비교 평가하였다. 이 연구결과를 통해 반능동 시스템은 구조물 진동저감에 저렴하면서도 효과적임을 보여준다.

  • Power electronic converters generate the harmonic voltage and current, and these harmonics have the harmful effects on the various components. For example, passive components such as capacitor and inductor, transformer, motor and other components are mainly affected in the power electronic system. Thus, the design and manufacturing of the power converters, which have the harmonic-free or mitigation strategies, are required. In particular, the lifetime and durability of these components are main requirement for enhancing the overall stability of the system. So, in this paper, the harmonics-related problems to the neighbouring components and mitigation research trends are presented.

  • A new methodology for mitigation of the wheel squealing is proposed and investigated based on the dithering control. The idea can be applied in railway lines particularly in urban areas. The idea is clearly presented, and applied to a validated model. A full-scale model including the vehicle, curved track and wheel/rail contact is developed in the time domain to analyze the possibility and level of wheel squeal noise. Comparing the numerical results with a field test, the model is validated in different levels namely i) occurrence, ii) squealing frequency and iii) noise level. Two different approaches are proposed a) dithering of the wheel with piezoelectric patches and b) dithering of the rail with piezoelectric stacks. The noise level as well as the wheel responses is compared after applying the control strategy. A parametric study is carried out and effect of the dithering voltage and frequency on the squealing noise is investigated. It is found that both the strategies perform quite effectively within the saturating threshold of piezoelectric actuators.

  • 아산화질소($N_2O$)는 기후변화를 야기하는 온실가스임과 동시에 오존층을 파괴하는 가스이다. 하폐수 처리시 생물학적 질소 제거 공정에서 주로 배출되는 아산화질소가 환경에 미치는 영향은 매우 중요하므로 대책 수립이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 하폐수 처리과정의 아산화질소 배출 관련 최신 연구동향을 종합적으로 고찰함으로써, 아산화질소의 배출량 및 생성에 미치는 주요 인자의 영향을 이해하고, 아산화질소 배출 저감 전략 수립에 필요한 정보를 도출하였다. 하폐수 처리공정에서 아산화질소가 배출되는 주요 경로는 hydroxylamine 산화, nitrifier 탈질 및 종속영양 탈질공정의 3가지로 구분된다. 실험실, 파일럿 및 실 규모 하폐수 처리 공정을 대상으로 아산화질소 배출량을 측정한 결과 아산화질소 배출량의 질소 부하량의 0-95%로 변이가 매우 컸다. 실 규모 하폐수 처리공정에서는 질소 부하량의 0-14.6%가 아산화질소로 배출되고, 평균값과 중간값은 각각 1.95%와 0.2%이었다. 아산화질소 배출량에 영향을 미치는 가장 중요한 운전인자는 용존산소와 아질산염 농도 및 COD/N 비율이었다. 아산화질소 배출 저감을 위해 운전인자를 조절하는 다양한 전략이 보고되고 있다. 또한, 하폐수 처리공정에서 아산화질소 배출 저감하기 위한 새로운 전략으로, 높은 아산화질소 환원효소 활성을 가진 미생물을 활용하거나, 기존의 탈질공정 대신 산소발생 탈질공정(oxygenic denitrification)을 도입하는 것이 제안되고 있다.

  • Pollution emissions from international shipping and port activities have a significant impact on public health and global climate changes. The purpose of this paper is to review the status of pollution mitigation measures implemented to date in port industry and find out some implications for Korean ports. For this aim, the clean air strategies of the world major ports including six USA ports (Los Angeles/Long Beach, Now York/New Jersey, and Seattle and Tacoma), two European ports (Rotterdam and Gothenburg) and Busan Port were considered. Various measures to reduce emission from ports are evaluated by sectors-ocean going vessels, cargo handling equipments, truck and rail-, on the basis of categories such as reduction control technologies, operational changes and market-based measures. The policy implications of this paper are as follows. First, Clean Air Act Plans of Korean ports are required as soon as possible. Second, integrated approach is required to reduce emission effectively. Finally, the effect of port-related emission reduction can be maximized when various measures are conducted on a regional basis including neighboring ports. Furthermore, regional or global-based approach is useful to guarantee the level playing field among ports.

  • The rise of antimicrobial resistance (AR) is a major threat to global health. The food animal industry contributes to the increasing occurrence of AR. Multiple factors can affect the occurrence and dissemination of AR in the animal industry, including antibiotic use and farm management. Many studies have focused on how the use of antibiotics in food-producing animals has led to the development of AR. However, a few effective mitigating strategies for AR have been developed in food-producing animals, especially those exposed to the environment. The aim of this review is to summarize potential strategies applicable for mitigating AR at the environment-livestock interface.

  • This paper outlines the processes and strategies studied and selected by the team during the design stages of the project for the incorporation of BIPV into the tower's façade. The goal was to create a system that helps reduce internal heating and cooling loads while collecting energy through photovoltaic panels located throughout the building. The process used to develop this façade system can be broken down into three stages. 1. Concept: BIPV as design catalyst for a high-rise building. 2. Optimization: Balancing BIPV and Human comfort. 3. Integration: Incorporating BIPV into a custom curtain wall design. The FKI Project clearly illustrates the evolution building enclosures from simple wall systems to high performance integrated architectural and engineering design solutions. This design process and execution of this project represent the design philosophy of our firm.
