지상에 고정된 기기로 감시하기 어려운 대기 하층의 관측 사각 지역에서 유용한 관측 및 자료 분석 기술을 개발하였다. 상층 기상 관측에 사용되는 UHF 라디오존데를 UAV에 탑재하여 기온과 상대습도의 연직 자료를 원격 수집하여 10 m 기상 타워에서 측정한 자료와 비교하였다. 검증된 연직 분포로부터 외삽된 지표 기온과 총체 전달 방법을 이용하여 대기 안정도 변화에 따른 현열 플럭스를 추정하였다. 지상에서 3차원 초음파 풍속계로 측정한 현열 플럭스와 비교한 결과는 원격탐사로 산출되는 현열 플럭스에 허용되는 오차 범위 30%보다 작은 23% 이내의 오차를 보였다. UAV 관측 현열 플럭스로부터 추정한 대기경계층 고도는 대기 오염 확산 모델에 유용한 자료를 실시간, 경제적으로 제공할 수 있다.

여름철 콘크리트는 수분증발에 의한 소성 및 건조수축균열, 슬럼프 저하, 콜드조인트 발생 등 다양한 문제가 발생한다. 이에 국내에서는 수분증발을 방지하고, 단열성능을 확보하기 위해 표면피복 양생을 위한 다양한 형태의 버블시트를 제작하여 사용하고 있으나, 여름철에는 적용사례가 없었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 여름철 시공중인 아파트 현장에 1중의 투명, 백색 및 알루미늄 증착 버블시트와 PE필름 및 표면노출의 5가지 표면피복 양생재를 적용하여 콘크리트의 온도 및 균열특성 등 품질에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 실험결과 알루미늄 증착 버블시트가 온도저감, 균열저감 면에서 가장 뛰어난 것으로 나타났지만, 알루미늄 재질의 특성상 빛이 반사되어 시공자의 눈부심에 따른 시각공해가 발생하기 때문에 백색 버블시트의 사용이 가장 효과적인 것으로 밝혀졌다.

Irisin is a myokine caused by exercise that improves insulin resistance and weight loss. However, under unfavorable conditions such as air pollution, and during the pandemic, outdoor activities are uncomfortable. Therefore, in this study, the effect of heat therapy (half bath 42 ± 0.5℃ for 30 min) on irisin circulation levels as an exercise alternative for middle-aged obese women after menopause was investigated. Subjects were 33 women aged 49.54 ± 6.04 years, with parameters of height, 160.12 ± 4.33 cm, weight, 69.71 ± 7.52 kg, body surface area 1.73 ± 0.13 m², body mass index, 27.19 ± 3.40 kg/m². The results suggest that circulating irisin levels showed a significant increase after one-time thermotherapy (TH-1). However, the increase in circulating irisin levels after 15 treatments (TH-15, 5 days/week, 3 weeks) was significantly varied. The level of adiponectin, which increases fatty oxidation to reduce fatty deposition, increased significantly at TH-1, but further increased at TH-15, which was significantly different from the level of TH-1. In addition, the basic serum free fatty acid (FFA) level was significantly increased at TH-15 compared to TH-1. Significant differences were also found in the lipid profile (body mass index, waist circumference, and % body fat). Thermotherapy can significantly increase the tympanic temperature and induce changes in circulating irisin and adiponectin levels. Thus, it resulted in positive changes in FFA and lipid profiles. Therefore, repeated thermotherapy is effective in increasing circulating irisin levels in postmenopausal obese women.

The presence of high amounts of organic and inorganic contaminants in textile wastewater is a major environmental concern. Therefore, the treatment of textile wastewater is an urgent issue to save the aquatic environment. The disposal of large quantities of untreated textile wastewater into inland water bodies can cause serious water pollution. In this study, synthetic dye wastewater samples were prepared using orange dye in the laboratory. The synthetic samples were then treated by a batch adsorption process using the prepared activated carbon (AC) from date pits. The wastewater parameters studied were the pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), total suspended solids (TSS), electrical conductivity (EC) and salinity. The activated adsorption process showed that the maximum removal efficiencies of electric conductivity (EC), salinity, TDS and TSS were 65%, 92%, 89% and 90%, respectively. The removal efficiencies were proportional to the increase in contact time (30-120 min) and AC adsorbent dose (1, 3 and 5 g/L). The adsorption profile indicates that 5 g/L of adsorbent delivers better results for TDS, EC, TSS and salinity at contact time of 120 min. The adsorption characteristics are better suited to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model than to the pseudo-first-order kinetic model. The Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms were well suited for describing the adsorption or contact behavior of EC and TSS within the studied system.

The purpose of this study was to develop the $PM_{2.5}$ source profiles for diesel and gasoline-powered vehicles, which contained mass abundances in terms of mass fraction of $PM_{2.5}$ of chemical species. Seven diesel-powered vehicles and nine gasoline-powered vehicles were sampled from a chassis dynamometer exhaust dilution system. The species measured were water-soluble ions, elements, elemental carbon (EC), and organic carbon (OC). From this study, the large abundances of EC (54.5%), OC (26.0%), ${SO_4}^{2-}$ (1.5%), ${NO_3}^-$ (0.8%), and S (0.6%) were observed from the diesel-powered vehicle exhaust showing that carbons were dominant species. The gasoline-powered vehicle exhaust emitted large abundances of OC (38.3%), EC (4.2%), ${SO_4}^{2-}$ (3.6%), ${NH_4}^+$ (3.5%), and ${NO_3}^-$ (3.0%). The abundances of ${SO_4}^{2-}$, ${NH_4}^+$, and ${NO_3}^-$ from gasoline vehicle were greater than those of diesel vehicle. The emissions of P, S, Ca, Fe, and Zn among trace elements for the gasoline vehicle were greater than 1% of the $PM_{2.5}$ mass unlike those for the diesel vehicle. Particularly, the fraction of Zn was five times higher from the gasoline vehicle than that from the diesel vehicle. The source profiles developed in this work were intensively examined by applying chemical mass balance model.

최근, 지구온난화와 대기오염 등에 의해 신재생에너지에 관한 관심이 증가해 왔다. 특히, 가까운 미래에 직면하게 될 화석에너지자원의 고갈문제는 이와 같은 신재생에너지 기술을 가속화 시키고 있다. 다양한 재생가능 에너지자원 중에서 지구의 3/4을 점유하고 있는 해양은 막대한 에너지를 보유하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 항내 수질개선과 파랑에너지의 이용이라는 두 목적을 달성하기 위하여 공기실 내에서 해수면의 상하운동을 공기흐름으로 변환하고, 이를 터빈의 구동력으로 이용하는 파력발전장치인 진동수주형(OWC, Oscillating Water Column) 파력발전시스템을 적용한 해수교환구조물을 제시한다. 또한, 3차원불규칙파수치파동수로에 기초한 3D-NIT(3-Dimensional Numerical Irregular wave Tank)모델을 불규칙파동장에 적용하여 산정된 공기실 내 수위변동의 시간변화로부터 공기흐름속도를 추정하고, 입사주파수스펙트럼의 변화에 따른 공기흐름 주파수스펙트럼의 변화특성, 구조물의 존재여부에 따른 공기실 위치에서 주파수스펙트럼의 변화특성, 구조물에 의한 파랑변형율의 변화특성 및 공기흐름과 유체흐름에 의한 동력 등을 검토한다. 이로부터 공기실 내에서 수위변동 및 공기흐름의 시계열 자료에서 위상차가 존재하며, 유체흐름에 의한 동력이 공기흐름에 의한 동력에 비해 미흡하다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

The vigor condition of trees is an important indicator for the management of urban forested area. But difficulties in how to assess the tree vigor condition still remain. Previous efforts were limited in the 1) measurement of single indicator rather than using multiple indices, 2) purpose-oriented measurement such as for air-pollution effect or specific pathological symptom, and 3) ordinal-scale evaluations by field crews 4) despite human errors based on his/her experiences or prior knowledge. Therefore, this study attempted to develop a quantitative and objective methodology for assessing tree vigor condition, by measuring multiple modules and building the profile inventory. Furthermore, the possibility and limitations were discussed in terms of schematic frames describing tree vigor condition. The vigor condition of 56 flowering cherry plants in urban park were assessed by in-situ measurements of following eight items; growth of crown(Gc), growth of shoots, individual tree volume(Vol), plant area index, woody area index, leaf area index, leaf chlorophyll content(Lc) and leaf water content(Lw). For validation, these measurements were compared with the ranks of holistic tree vigor condition, which were visually assessed using a 4-point grading scale based on the expert's knowledge. As a result, the measures of each evaluation item successfully highlighted a variety of aspects in tree vigor condition, including the states of both photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic parts. The variation in the results depending on evaluated parts was shown within an individual tree, even though the broad agreement among the results was found. The result of correlation analysis between the tested measurements and 4-point visual assessment, demonstrated that the state of water-stressed foliage of the season (Lw) or the development of plant materials since sapling phase (Vol) could be better viewed from the outer appearance of trees than other symptoms. But only based on the visual assessment, it may be difficult to detect the quality of photosynthesis (Lc) or the recent trend in growth of trees (Gc). To make this methodology simplified for the broad-scale application, the tested eight measurements could be integrated into two components by principal component analysis, which was labelled with 'the amount of plant materials' and 'vigor trend', respectively. In addition, the use of these quantitative and multi-scale indicators underlies the importance of assessing various aspects of tree vigor condition, taking into account the response(s) on different time and spatial scale of pressure(s) shown in each evaluated module. Future study should be advanced for various species at diverse developing stages and environment, and the application to wide areas at a periodic manner.

Keratin wastes are generated in excess of million tons per year worldwide and biodegradation of keratin by microorganisms possessing keratinase activity can be used as an alternative tool to prevent environmental pollution. For practical use of keratinase, its physicochemical properties should be investigated in detail. In this study, we investigated characteristics of keratinase produced by Xanthomonas sp. P5 which is isolated from rhizospheric soil of soybean. The level of keratinase produced by the strain P5 increased with time and reached its maximum (10.6 U/ml) at 3 days. The production of soluble protein had the same tendency as the production of keratinase. Optimal temperature and pH of keratinase were $40^{\circ}C-45^{\circ}C$ and pH 9, respectively. The enzyme showed broad temperature and pH stabilities. Thermostability profile showed that the enzyme retained 94.6%-100% of the original activity after 1 h treatment at $10^{\circ}C-40^{\circ}C$. After treatment for 1 h at pH 6-10, 89.2%-100% of the activity was remained. At pH 11, 71.6% of the original activity was retained after 1 h treatment. Although the strain P5 did not degrade human hair, it degraded duck feather and chicken feather. These results indicate that keratinase from Xanthomonas sp. P5 could be not only used to upgrade the nutritional value of feather hydrolysate but also useful in situ biodegradation of feather.
