  • We(Hansol EME Co. Ltd.) proceeded anaerobic digestion test for domestic food wastewater applying to two operating method for increasing of OLR. The methods are as follows. One was the rapidity operating method which was increasing the OLR continuously and rapidly and the other was the terraced operating method which was increasing the OLR having adaptation period for each step. As a result of this tests, the ratio of VFA/Alkalinity of the process was very unstable under the rapidity operating method then the volume of produced biogas was dramatically decreased. However the process was shown stable performance under the terraced operating method maintaining the ratio of VFA/Alkalinity less than 0.4. Also, the process was performing the biogas recovery of $0.8Nm^3/kgVS_{rem}/d$ and the VS removal ratio of 85%. T-RFLP analysis about the community of bacteria and methanogen is also conducted to check the change of the microbial community according to the methods of OLR increasing operation. The microbial community was changed by the methods of OLR increasing operation according to the result of T-RFLP analysis. Although the anaerobic digestion test was executed by same pilot plant, the reactivity and the tolerance of microbial community for surrounding environment could be considerably changed by the operating method for the process.

  • In this study we cloned and characterized a novel lipid-accumulating gene, the oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor 1 (OLR1), which is associated with lipogenesis. We analyzed the gene structure and detected the mRNA transcriptional expression levels in pig adipose tissues at different months of age (MA) and in different economic types (lean type and obese type) using real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. OLR1 expression profile in different tissues of pig was analyzed. Finally, we studied the correlation between OLR1 and lipid metabolism related genes including peroxisome proliferator-activated $receptor{\gamma}2$ ($PPAR{\gamma}2$), fatty acid synthetase (FAS), triacylglycerol hydrolase (TGH), CAAT/enhancer binding protein $\alpha$ ($C/EBP{\alpha}$) and sterol regulatory element binding protein-1c (SREBP-1c). Results indicated that the OLR1 gene of the pig exhibited the highest homology with the cattle (84%), and the lowest with the mouse (27%). The signal peptide located from amino acid 38 to 60 and the domain from amino acid 144 to 256 were shared by the C-type lectin family. The expression level of OLR1 in pig lung was exceedingly higher than other tested tissues (p<0.01). In pig adipose tissue, the expression level of OLR1 mRNA increased significantly with growth (p<0.01). The expression level of OLR1 mRNA in obese-type pigs was significantly higher than that of lean-type pigs of the same monthly age (p<0.05). In adipose tissue, the expression of OLR1 correlated with $PPAR{\gamma}2$, FAS and SREBP-1c, but not TGH or C/EBP${\alpha}$. In conclusion, OLR1 was highly associated with fat deposition and its transcription, as suggested by high correlations, was possibly regulated by $PPAR{\gamma}2$ and SREBP-1c.

  • Outgoing Longwave Radiation (OLR) is emitted energy from the Earth that is an important indicator of cooling effect in global scale and meteorological events in regional scale. Satellite-driven OLR products have its advantages overcoming spatially limited representation. The Korean geostationary satellite, Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite (COMS), has been producing OLR product in accordance with its own algorithm since Apr. 2011. This study introduces Spatio-Temporally Equalized Match-up (STEM) approach to evaluate the COMS OLR products. We have tested a number of cases of thresholds set by standard deviations of a subpixel $10.8{\mu}m$ to find optimal representation of OLR in the selective match-up. Each case was then validated with broadband reference data, Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES). We found that selective STEM approach was useful to validate OLR product especially its distribution in homogeneous grids.

  • A pilot scale anaerobic fixed-bed with a reactor volume of $2.8m^3$ was built to treat slaughterhouse wastewater. Bamboo rings were chosen as support media mainly because of their cheaper price in underdeveloped countries. Even with their lower porosity and specific surface, the reactor performance showed a maximum 95% COD removal efficiency at an organic loading rate (OLR) of $1kg\;COD/m^3-d$ with its corresponding hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 7.5 d. At a higher OLR of $4.0kg\;COD/m^3-d$, the COD removal efficiency of 75% was achieved with an HRT of 2 d. No big difference in COD removal efficiencies was found between the reactors operated in both upflow and downflow modes. Their operational behavior and effluent characteristics were similar. The effluent COD/TKN ratio of 6.67 at an OLR of $4.0kg\;COD/m^3-d$ was only marginal acceptable range for a subsequent biological denitrification process. Otherwise carbon supplementation is required at a lower OLR.

  • NOAA 위성의 narrow-band AVHRR(Advanced Very. High Resolution Radiometer) 적 외선 채널과 broad-band 0.2 - 50$\mu\textrm{m}$ 영역의 ERBE(Earth Radiation Budget Experiment) scanning instrument에 의하여 관측된 radiance로부터 추정된 지구의 대기 외장파복사량 (Outgoing Longwave Radiation:OLR) 이 비교조사되었다. 이를 위하여 1985년 4월, 7월, 10월과 1986년 1월에 위성에서 관측된 radiance를 각각 이용하였고 비교된 OLR은 위도와 경도가 각각 2.5$^{\circ}$ 간격으로 구분된 grid내에서 일치(collocate)시켜 지역별(zonal), 그리고 전지구(global)규모 로 비교되었다. ERBE와 AVHRR에 의하여 각각 추정된 OLR값의 차(ERBE minus AVHRR)에 의한 분석 결과는 주간의 경우 -1~2 W/m$^2$의 값과 야간의 경우 4~7 W/m$^2$의 값으로 비교적 좋은 일치를 보였지만 이들의 RMS는 하절(6월)에 12 W/m$^2$와 동절(12월)에 5 W/m$^2$의 값으로 다소 높은 차이를 보였다. 한편, 이들 OLR값을 관측지역에 따라 큰 차 이를 나타내어 사막지역과 아열대고기압(subtropical ocean)대에서는 상반된 결과를 보였다. 이들 지역에 대한 차이는 지역적 기온구조와 지표온도의 영향을 다 고려하지 못하고 OLR 측정치를 도 출하는 대기복사모델(radiation model)의 regional systematic bias에서 기인된 것으로 해석된다. 즉 사막의 지표역전층에 대한 AVHRR과 해면의 대기구조에 대한 ERBE의 OLR은 상반된 영향을 보였다.

  • The Outgoing Longwave Radiation (OLR) is an important satellite-driven variable for understanding the Earth's energy budget balance. The geostationary OLR retrievals require angular and spectral integration using an empirical equation for irradiance flux-to-OLR from a regression analysis, which determines the accuracy of the narrowband satellite-based OLR. We selected homogeneous pixels which is satisfied less temporal-spatial variability of cloud, on three infrared channels (6.7, 10.8, $12.0{\mu}m$) of the first multipurpose geostationary satellite in Korea, namely the Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite/Meteorological Imager (COMS/MI). Multiple regression analysis was performed to retrieve OLR with improved accuracy using selected parameters based on theoretical and physical significance. This algorithm yielded retrieval with higher accuracy than broadband-based OLR retrieval: RMSE of 10.54 to $3.81W\;m^{-2}$, and bias of -8.49 to $-0.07W\;m^{-2}$.

  • Results from the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) will help interpret the data from the operational satellite system. However, a major problem exists because a follow-on experiment to ERBE is not planned until the late 1990`s. Meanwhile, it will be necessary to provide OLR estimates from the operational satellite system. Since 1973the outgoing long wave radiation(OLR) data have been obtained by the 10#m window radiance(AVHRR) estimation technique from he observation NOAA operational satellites. However, those data have not been universall if accepted because they are estimated from the radiance in but one narrow spectral regiou. However , this type of technique has not been exploited for use with data from the ]fIRS multispectral radiometer. Since the radiance data measured by HIRS contains more: information on atmospheric variables than the AVHRR, it is a potentially better instrument for operational estimates of the OLR In this study, results from model are better flux estimates than the AVHRR, The technique is then tested by comparing simultalleous AVHRR and HIRS OLR estimations with a radiation model flux calculation froml homogeneous atmospheric scenes at the regions of desert and subtropic ocean.

  • The operational characteristics of anaerobic bioreactors in treating swine wastewater were evaluated upto hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 1 day and organic loading rate (OLR) of $5.1kg-COD/m^3{\cdot}d$ for 200 days. The bioreactors were effective in treating swine wastewaters with COD removal efficiency of $78.9{\sim}81.5%$ and biogas generation of $0.39{\sim}0.59m^3/kg-COD_r$ at OLR of $1.1{\sim}2.2kg-COD/m^3{\cdot}d$. The two-stage ASBF anaerobic bioreactors was effective in treating different characteristics of swine wastewaters since they showed high and stable COD removal efficiency at high OLR due to effective retention of biomass by media and staging. The effects of ammonia on anaerobic digestion were investigated by operating two-stage ASBF reactors using swine wastewaters as influent without and with ammonia removal at HRT of $1{\sim}2$ days and OLR of $2.2{\sim}9.6kg-COD/m^3{\cdot}d$ for 250 days. The COD removal efficiency and biogas generation of two-stage ASBF reactors was decreased by increasing influent ammonia concentrations to 1,580 mg (T-N)/L with increasing OLR to $6.3kg-COD/m^3{\cdot}d$, while those were increased by maintaining influent ammonia concentrations below 340 mg (T-N)/L by MAP precipitation with increasing OLR to $9.6kg-COD/m^3{\cdot}d$. Initial inhibition of ammonia on anaerobic processes was observed at a concentration of 760 mg (T-N)/L and the COD removal efficiency and biogas generation dropped to 1/2 at ammonia concentration ranges of $1,540{\sim}1,870mg$ (T-N)/L. It is essential to remove ammonia in swine wastewaters to an initial inhibition level before anaerobic processes for the effective removal of COD.

  • Precipitable Water(PW) are retrieved over the tropical and subtropical Pacific Ocean from TOVS infrared and microwave channel brightness temperature and OLR observations by means of stepwise linear regression. The retrieved TOVS PW fields generated by PW$_{sfc}$(71.1 % of the variance and 0.62 g cm$^{-2}$ standard error over the surface) and PW$_{700500}$(71.7 % and 0.17 g cm$^{-2}$ over the 700 - 500 hPa layer) revealed more evolving synoptic signals over the tropical and subtropical Pacific Ocean. The PW$_{sfc}$ dose not show significantly the TP feature because of the representation of the lower PW for high-level clouds not associated with deep convection. There exists some elusion to trace the TP on the PW$_{sfc}$ field if any supplementary information does not provide. But ECMWF analysis has a general tendency of drying the subtropics and moistening the ITCZ (InterTropical Convergence Zone) and SPCZ(South Pacific Convergence Zone). However, although ECMWF analysis is fairly successful in capturing mean patterms, it is unsuccessful in following active synoptic signal like a tropical plume. Similarly, SMMR-PW does not represent the TP well which consists of the highand middle-level clouds, but PW$_{sfc}$ shows underestimated moistness of TP and does not depict significant signal of TP. In the PW field derived from microwave observations, the TP can not be recognized well. Furthermore, the signature of PW$_{sfc}$ was different from OLR for the TP, which implies the presence of high- and middle-layer thin clouds, but in a closer agreement for deep and active convection areas which contain thick middle- and lower-layer clouds; though OLR represented the cloudiness in the tropics well. In synoptically active regions, it differed from OLR analysis, primarily bacause of actual differences in water vapor and cloud features. The signature of PW$_{sfc}$ was different from OLR for the TP.

  • 본 연구는 Bayesian MCMC(Markov Chain Monte Carlo)를 이용한 비정상성 빈도해석 모형에 외부기상인자를 결합하여 계절단위의 강수량을 예측하는데 목적을 두고 있으며, 그 중에서도 홍수 위험도와 관련하여 유용하게 이용될 수 있는 여름강수량을 예측 대상으로 하였다. 비정상성 빈도해석 모형을 기반으로 외부 기상인자에 의한 변동성을 고려하기 위해서는 대상 수문량을 한정할 필요가 있으며 극대치강수량과 연관성이 높은 장마전선, 태풍 등의 기상인자는 공간적 변동성 및 복합적인 특성들로 인해 예측인자를 구성하는 기상인자로 사용하기에는 무리가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 계절단위의 수문량으로 여름강수량을 대상으로 하였으며, 이에 영향을 미치는 외부 기상인자로서 SST(sea surface temperature)와 OLR(outgoing longwave radiation)을 도입하였으며, 낙동강유역 여름강수량과의 공간 상관성이 높은 지역의 이전 겨울 SST와 6월 OLR을 예측인자로 활용한 7~9월 여름강수량 예측모형을 구성하였다. 모형의 검증은 결과를 알고 있는 2010년 여름 강수량을 대상으로 수행하였으며, 모형의 적용은 현재시점에서 관측된 2010년 겨울 SST와, 과거 관측 자료를 토대로 가정된 2011년 6월 OLR을 이용하여 2011년 여름 강수량을 예측하였다. 결과적으로 모형 매개변수들의 사후분포로부터 불확실성 구간을 포함한 예측결과를 구할 수 있었다.
