Two different types the CANDU fuel bundles hue been modeled for the ASSERT-IV code subchannel analysis. From calculated values of mixture enthalpy and void paction distributions in the fuel bundles, it is found that net buoyancy effect is pronounced in the central region of the DUPIC fuel bundle when compared with the standard CANDU fuel bundle. It is also found that the central region of the DUPIC fuel bundle can be cooled more efficiently than that of the standard fuel bundle. From calculated mixture enthalpy distribution at the exit of fuel channel, it is found that the mixture enthalpy and void fraction can be highest in the peripheral region of the DUPIC fuel bundle. On the other hand, the enthalpy and the void fraction were found to be highest in the central region of the standard CANDU fuel bundle at the exit of the fuel channel. This study shows that the subchannel analysis is very useful assessing thermal behavior of the fuel bundle that could be used in CANDU reactors.

The power cycle using ammonia-water mixture as a working fluid is a possible way to improve efficiency of the system of low-temperature source. In this work thermodynamic performance of the ammonia-water regenerative Rankine cycle with partial-boiling flow is analyzed for purpose of extracting maximum power from the source. Effects of the system parameters such as mass fraction of ammonia, turbine inlet pressure or ratio of partial-boiling flow on the system are parametrically investigated. Results show that the power output increases with the mass fraction of ammonia but has a maximum value with respect to the turbine inlet pressure, and is able to reach 22 kW per unit mass flow rate of source air at $180^{\circ}C$.

Soil biofiltration is an environmentally-sound technology for elimination of VOCs, odorous and $NO_X$ compounds from a low concentration, high volume waste gas streams because of its simplicity and cost-effectiveness. This study investigated the optimal mixture fraction of briquet ash, compost, soil and loess for $NO_X$ degradation. Extreme vertices design was used to examine the role of four components on $NO_X$ degradation. Under our experimental conditions, 74.5% of $NO_X$ degradation was observed, using a model mixture(25% briquet ash, 10% compost, 30% soil and 40% loess) containing 100 ppb of NO. It was shown that experimental design analysis could allow selecting optimal conditions in such biodegradation processes in this study.

The operational temperature range of thermosiphon is generally limited from the critical point to the triple point of the working fluid to maintain two-phase state. Thermosiphon with mixed working fluid has a potential to widen the operational temperature range. In this study, the physical behavior of mixed working fluid during the transient operation of thermosiphon was analyzed with temperature-mole fraction diagram. The condenser and the evaporator temperature variations were explained by the dew line and the bubble line of the mixture. It is encouraging that the thermosiphon operation commences early with larger fraction of high boiling point component, but the temperature gap between the condenser and the evaporator due to the separation of two components has a negative effect on the officient cool down process.

초분광영상의 분석 기법 중 하나인 선형혼합분석기법은 각 화소를 구성하는 구성물질과 구성 비율을 추정하는데 매우 유용하게 사용되고 있다. 선형혼합모델은 지질 및 광물분포와 관련된 분야에서는 비교적 성공적으로 시도되고 있으나, 산림이나 여러 인공물들로 구성된 도시와 같은 상대적으로 복잡한 구조를 가진 혼합체에서는 그 정확도가 떨어진다. 본 연구에서는 식물과 토양의 혼합체를 대상으로 선형혼합모델을 적용하여 계산된 혼합체의 반사값과 실제 이 혼합체들을 분광측정기로 측정한 반사값과의 비교를 통해, 선형혼합모델의 오차를 계산하였다. 이를 통해 선형혼합모델의 오차 원인인 구성 물질간의 분광적 상호작용이 어느 경우 발생 혹은 증가하는지를 분석하고, 또한 파장대별 상호작용의 정도 차이가 있는지를 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 선형혼합모델은 혼합체를 구성하는 구성물질의 구성비율이 비슷한 경우, 각 구성 물질간의 상호작용이 증가하여 선형혼합모델의 오차가 가장 커지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 결과적으로 선형혼합모델의 오차 원인인 구성 물질간 상호작용의 발생 정도는 혼합체를 구성하는 성분의 종류, 반사 특성, 구성비율, 파장대와 구성 성분의 배열 상태에 따라 다르게 나타나는 것을 알 수 있었다. 향후 선형혼합모델의 정확도를 높이기 위해서는 이러한 혼합체의 특징들이 구성 물질간의 상호작용에 끼치는 영향을 정량적으로 분석하여야 할 것이다.

In this study, rat hepatocytes known to have active glucose metabolism were obtained to investigate the hypoglycemic action of fat soluble fraction of red ginseng by using the liver perfusion technique and incubated in two different media-one containing insulin and glucagon (control group), and the other containing glucagon only The activities of main regulating enzymes, such as glucokinase, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenate, and glucose 6-phosphatase, related to metabolic pathways of glucose in these two kinds of hepatocytes were compared between these two groups and the effects of addition of fat soluble fraction ($10^1$~$10^4$%) from red ginseng to these two groups on these enzymes were also detected. The results were as follows. The specific activity of enzymes such as glucokinase, flucorse 6-phosphate dehydrogenase, and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase related to glucose-consuming pathways of insulin-deficient group was much less than control one. However, their decreased activity was recovered after the addition of fat-soluble fraction at all range of concentrations. The specific activity of these enzymes after the addition of ginseng components to the control group was also increased. On the other hand, the specific activity of glucose 6-phosphatase related to glucose-producing pathway of insulin-deficient group was much higher than control one, but their increased activity was decreased obviously after the addition of fat soluble fraction at all range of concentrations. The same results were observed after the addition of fat-soluble fraction to the control group. These results suggest that the red ginseng saponin components might be effective on diabetic hyperglycemia by regulating the activity of enzymes related to glucose metabolism directly and/or indirectly. The effects of fat-soluble fraction ($10^2$%) and ginsenosides (mixture, $Rb_1$ and $Rg_1$, $10^4$%) on hypoglycemic action were compared. As a result, they showed considerable effect on hyperglycemia, but the best eff ect on the activities of glucokinase and glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase was appeared by ginsenoside $Rb_1$ and that of 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase and glucose 6-phosphatase was by ginsenoside mixture.

The nutritional worth of Phalaris minor seeds was assessed in comparison to conventional cereal grains like maize and wheat. P. minor seeds had higher total ash and cell wall constituents as compared to wheat and maize grains. The CP content of P. minor was comparable to wheat grains but higher than maize grains. The in vitro studies revealed that the net gas production and availability of ME from P. minor was comparable to that of maize but the digestibility of nutrients was significantly (p<0.05) lower than that of conventional cereal grains. The digestion kinetic parameters for DM and CP revealed that P. minor had the highest (p<0.05) soluble fraction (a) followed by wheat and maize. Reverse trend was observed for insoluble but potentially degradable fraction (b). The effective and true DM and CP degradability was significantly (p<0.05) higher in wheat grains followed by that in P. minor and maize grains. The digestibility of OM and NDF was not affected by replacing cereal grains in concentrate mixture with P. minor seeds up to 75 per cent level. But the availability of ME from concentrate mixtures was comparable to control only up to 50% level of replacement. Replacement of cereal grains with P. minor did not affect the rapidly soluble fraction and insoluble but potentially degradable fraction of concentrate mixture containing P. minor up to 75 per cent, but it was depressed significantly at 100% replacement level. The effective and true degradability of DM of concentrate mixtures containing P. minor from 50 to 100 per cent was comparable to that of conventional concentrate mixture (CCM). The wheat based concentrate mixtures showed higher net gas production (208 vs. 201 ml/g DM/24 h), digestibility of nutrients and ME availability (9.64 vs. 9.54 MJ/kg DM) as compared to maize based concentrate mixture. The wheat based concentrate mixture had significantly (p<0.05) higher rumen undegradable fraction and effective degradability. The data conclusively revealed that conventional cereal grains could be replaced with P.minor seeds up to 75 per cent without affecting the availability of nutrients.

도시화에 따른 불투수 지표면의 증가는 도시환경에 부정적인 영향을 미치게 된다. 따라서 도시 내 불투수 지역의 시공간적 변화 사항을 탐색하고 정량화하는 작업은 도시환경을 연구함에 있어 무엇보다 중요한 일이라 할 수 있다 지난 시기 도시지역의 불투수 지표면을 탐색하는 방법으로는 전통적인 영상분류 기법이 많이 사용되었다. 그러나 기존의 전통적인 영상분류 기법은 영상을 구성하는 각 셀이 지표면에 존재하는 다양한 객체들의 분광특성이 혼합된 결과임에도 불구하고 단 하나의 클래스로만 구분하는 단점을 가진다. 또한 불투수 지표면의 비율을 산정하기 위해서는 영상분류 후 각 분류항목에 불투수율을 할당해야하는 2중의 노력이 필요하며, 각 클래스에 단일한 불투수율을 지정해야만 하는 단점을 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 영상 분류방법이 갖는 이러한 단점을 보완하고자 불투수 지표면의 비율을 산정하기 위해 분광혼합분석 (spectral mixture analysis) 기법을 이용하였다. 분광혼합분석 기법을 적용하기 위해 식생, 토양, low albedo, high albedo 등 4가지 요소를 엔드멤버로 선택하였으며, 불투수율은 low albedo와 high albedo의 합으로 산정하였다. 대상 연구지역은 지난 십여년 동안 급격한 도시화가 진행된 탄천유역을 선정하였으며, 1988, 1994, 2001년의 Landsat 영상을 이용하여 신도시 건설에 따른 불투수 지표면의 변화율을 검토하였다. 분석결과 탄천유역의 불투수율은 88년 $15.6\%$, 94년 $20.1\%$, 2001년 $24\%$로 증가된 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 도시 불투수율을 분석 시 분광혼합분석 기법을 적용할 경우 추가적인 노력 없이 비교적 정확한 불투수율을 얻을 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

Airborne suspended particulates were collected by an Andersen high volume air sampler in a traffic area of Seoul from September 1990 to August 1991. Origanic matter extracted from particulates, their fractions, namely acidic, basic, neutral and carcinogenic subfractions (PAHs, nitroarenes) in neutral fractions were assayed for mutagenicity on TA98, TA100 and TA98NR deficient Salmonella strains, use of the pre-incubation method. The relative contribution to total mutanenicity of organic matters was highest in neutral fraction and was lowest in basic fraction. Among subfractions, that of neutral fraction was higher nitroarenes subfraction compared to PAHs subfraction. While the carcinogenic effect of benzo[a]pyrene was calculated as 0.96 persons/million persons based on unit risk estimates by extrapolation method, life time excess cancer risk estimate of EOM, neutral, PAH fraction based on their mutagenicity was calculated as 52, 42, 3.8 persons/million persons, respectively. These findings indicate that the mutagenic hazard of the partciculate, air organic complex mixture, may be dependent upon the mutagen composition in the particulate and interactions each of them. Therfore, health risk from air organic complex mixtures based on mutagenicity might be useful indicator for evaluation of actual risk.

An experimental study on heat pump cycle systematizing characteristics for non-azeotropic refrigerant mixtures of R-22+R-114 was reported. Data were obtained under steady state condition at the ranges of parameters, 550- 2, 170kcal/h, 670-2, 990kcal/h, 24-71kg/h, and 0-1, for as cooling capacity, heating capacity, mass 25, 50, 75, and 100 per cent of R-22 by weight fraction for R-22+R-114 mixtures. The results shown that the C.O.P of the 50wt% of R-22 mixture was considerably larger than for pure R-22 and other weight fraction of R-22 mixtures, but the compression power of the 25wt% of R-22 was lower than that of the pure R-22 and the other weight fraction of R-22 mixtures. The hightest value of cooling capacity was obtained at the conditions of evaporating temperature 5.deg.C and R-22 50wt% mixture. In general, with an increase in the R-22 weight fraction for fixed values of the other parameter, the cooling capacity increased at first, obtained a maximum, and then decreasd. This verified the importance of accurate weight fractions od refrigerant mixtures in the heat pump cycle.
