알루미늄은 지각 구성 원소 중 실리콘에 이어 두 번째로 풍부한 금속원소이다. 알루미늄은 가볍고, 전기전도도가 우수하고, 내식성이 우수하지만 산소와의 친화력이 강한 특성을 가지고 있다. 그러나 알루미늄의 1차 지금을 제조하기 위해서는 다량의 에너지를 소비한다. 한편 알루미늄 스크랩을 리사이클링하면 1차 지금 생산과 비교하여 에너지 및 환경부하를 저감할 수 있다. 그러나 알루미늄 스크랩 중의 불순물 제거가 곤란하여 재생되는 양은 한정되어 있다. 본 논문에서는 알루미나의 제조부터 스크랩 처리 및 용융까지의 알루미늄 생산 및 리사이클링 공정에 대하여 고찰하였다.

본 연구에서는 기준안으로 2040년까지 최종에너지의 15%를 수소로 대체한다는 목표를 세우고, 수소이용 효율이 가장 높은 수송부문을 주대상으로 2040년까지 자동차의 50% 이상을 연료전지 자동차로 대체하고, 기타, 가정 상업 및 산업부문에서도 각각 22%, 23%를 연료전지로 대체하는 계획을 수립하였다. 수소의 제조와 저장, 운반 등 공급인프라 부분에서는 2020년까지는 LNG와 석탄 등의 화석연료를 주원료로, 2040년까지는 신 재생에너지의 비중을 60%까지 늘리는 것으로 목표를 설정하였다. 기준안(수소비 중 15%)으로 제시한 수소경제가 실현되는 경우 1차에너지가 9% 저감되고, 석유가 22.7%, 원자력이 17.8%, LNG가 8.9%, 석탄이 3.1% 줄어들고 대신 신 재생에너지는 47.3% 증가하여 지속가능한 에너지믹스가 실현되는 것으로 나타났다. 이에 따라 에너지자급도의 개선, 에너지수입대체효과, 환경편익, 신성장동력으로서 수소 연료전지 산업 정착에 따른 고용창출효과 등 경제적 파급효과도 막대한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 수소경제의 적정산업규모를 갖추기 위한 투자비를 산출한 결과 2040년까지 총 200조원 이상이 필요하다. 방대한 재원을 조달하기 위해 민간자본의 유치와 정부의 효과적 정책개발이 요청된다. 수소경제의 비용효과적인 조기실현을 위해서는 전담기구의 신설과 민간의 전문인력 양성, 그리고 수소 연료전지 산업육성을 위한 규격 및 표준화 마련도 시급한 것으로 판단된다.

An experiment was conducted in Vietnam to test the hypothesis that supplementation with cassava powder up to 2% of live weight (LW)/d (DM basis) would linearly increase digestible organic matter intake and LW gain of Laisind cattle. There were five treatments: a basal diet of elephant grass fed at 1.25% of LW and rice straw fed ad libitum or this diet supplemented with cassava powder, containing 2% urea, at about 0.3, 0.7, 1.3 or 2.0% LW. The cattle fed cassava powder at about 2.0% LW did not consume all of the supplement, with actual intake similar to the 1.3% LW treatment. Organic matter, digestible organic matter and digestible energy intakes increased (p<0.001) curvilinearly with increased consumption of cassava powder. Rice straw intake declined curvilinearly with increasing intake of cassava powder (p<0.001), and there was a small linear decline (p = 0.01) in grass intake. The substitution rate of cassava powder for forage was between 0.5 and 0.7 kg DM reduction in forage intake per kg DM supplement consumed, with no difference between treatments. Apparent digestibility of organic matter increased (p<0.001) in a curvilinear manner, while digestibility of neutral detergent fibre declined (p<0.001) in a curvilinear manner with increased consumption of cassava powder. Live weight gain increased (p<0.01) linearly with increased consumption of supplement. It was concluded that the amount of cassava powder fed should be limited to between 0.7 and 1.0% LW.

In this paper, a new clear channel assessment (CCA) method: cascaded-CCA, is proposed. The primary motivation for the proposed approach is to integrate the respective advantages of two standard CCA mechanisms, energy detect and preamble detect, to arrive at a new dual threshold CCA family that can provide greater flexibility towards tuning MAC performance. Cascaded-CCA integrates energy efficiency of the energy detector (ED) and the reliability of the preamble detector (PD). The probability of detection/false alarm and power consumption of cascaded-CCA in the CCA modules of IEEE 802.11b are analyzed and compared with ED and PD as an example. The performance of cascaded-CCA is explored via MATLAB simulations that implement the CCA modules and medium access control (MAC) protocol for IEEE 802.11 and IEEE 802.15.4. Simulation results showed that cascaded-CCA improves the energy efficiency significantly compared to ED-only or PD-only CCA. In addition, ED, PD, and cascaded CCA are applied to a cognitive network scenario to validate the effectiveness of the proposed cascaded-CCA.

센서 노드는 제한된 에너지를 가지고 동작한다. 대부분의 경우에, 에너지가 고간된 배터리를 교체하거나 재충전하는 것은 바람직하지 않거나 불가능하다. 따라서 MAC프로토콜 디자인에서 에너지 소모를 줄이는 것은 매우 중요한 문제 중 하나이다. 하지만, 센서 응용이 지연에 민감할 경우, 지연이 매우 중요한 요소이고, 이 지연은 에너지 소비와 트레이드오프하게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 에너지 소모를 줄이고, 낮은 지연을 얻을 수 있는 MAC프로토콜을 제안한다. 이 프로토콜은 DSMAC을 기반으로, 동적으로 경로 사이의 상대적인 buffer의 패킷의 양에 따라서 duty cycle를 변경하게 된다.

Purpose - The primary purpose of this study is to verify whether the target set out by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) for reducing carbon emissions from ships can be achieved by quantitatively analyzing the trends in technological advances of fuel oil consumption in the container shipping market. To achieve this purpose, several scenarios are designed considering various options such as eco-friendly fuels, low-speed operation, and the growth in ship size. Design/methodology - The vessel size and speed used in prior studies are utilized to estimate the fuel oil consumption of container ships and the pace of technological progress and Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) regulations are added. A database of 5,260 container ships, as of 2019, is used for multiple linear regression and quantile regression analyses. Findings - The fuel oil consumption of vessels is predominantly affected by their speed, followed by their size, and the annual technological progress is estimated to be 0.57%. As the quantile increases, the influence of ship size and pace of technological progress increases, while the influence of speed and coefficient of EEDI variables decreases. Originality/value - The conservative estimation of carbon emission drawn by a quantitative analysis of the technological progress concerning the fuel efficiency of container vessels shows that it is not possible to achieve IMO targets. Therefore, innovative efforts beyond the current scope of technological progress are required.

수온 및 염분에 따른 굴의 일반적인 대사경향을 알아보기 위하여 수온과 개체크기에 따른 산소소비율과 암모니아 질소 배설률을 측정하였으며, O:N원자비를 산출하였다. 산소소비율과 암모니아 질소배설률은 개체의 크기가 작을수록 높았으며, 수온증가에 따라 증가하였다. O:N 원자비는 일반해수에서 8-40의 범위에 있었으며, 수온 $25^{\circ}C$에서 O:N 원자비는 8로 감소하였는데, 이는 산란기에 주요 대사기질로서 단백질을 이용하며, 단백질의 요구가 큰 것으로 추정된다. 이 결과는 굴양식장의 지속적인 관리 및 적정 수용력 산정을 위한 기초자료로 활용이 가능하다.

In cognitive radio networks, acquiring the position information of the primary user is critical to the communication of the secondary user. Localization of primary users can help improve the efficiency with which the spectrum is reused, because the information can be used to avoid harmful interference to the network while simultaneity is exploited to improve the spectrum utilization. Despite its inherent inaccuracy, received signal strength based on range has been used as the standard tool for distance measurements in the location detection process. Most previous works have employed the path-loss propagation model with a fixed value of the path loss exponent. However, in actual environments, the path loss exponent for each channel is different. Moreover, due to the complexity of the radio channel, when the number of channel increases, a larger number of RSS measurements are needed, and this results in additional energy consumption. In this paper, to overcome this problem, we propose using the Bayesian compressive sensing method with a calibrated path loss exponent to improve the performance of the PU localization method.

Recently, the needs and concerns regarding power loss have been increasing according to energy conservation at the level of the national policies and the business strategies of power utilities. In particular, the issue of power loss is the main factor for determining rates for electrical consumption in the deregulation of the electrical industry. However, because of the lack of management for power loss load factors (LLF) it is difficult to make a calculation for power loss and to make a decision concerning the electric rates. Furthermore, loss factor (k-factor) in Korea, which is of primary significance in the calculation of distribution power loss, has been used as a fixed value of 0.32 since the fiscal year 1973. Therefore, this study presents the statistical calculation methods of the loss factors classified by load types and seasons by using the practical data of 65 primary feeders that have been selected by appropriate procedures. Based on the above, the algorithms and methods, as well as the optimal method of the distribution loss management classified by facilities such as primary feeders, distribution transformers and secondary feeders is presented. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness and usefulness of the proposed methods.

As a case study on aspect ratio behavior, Kaolin, zeolite, TiO₂, pozzolan and diatomaceous earth minerals are investigated using wet milling with 0.3 mm media. The grinding process using small media of 0.3 pai is suitable for current work processing applications. Primary particles with average particle size distribution D₅₀, ~6 ㎛ are shifted to submicron size, D₅₀ ~0.6 ㎛ after grinding. Grinding of particles is characterized by various size parameters such as sphericity as geometric shape, equivalent diameter, and average particle size distribution. Herein, we systematically provide an overview of factors affecting the primary particle size reduction. Energy consumption for grinding is determined using classical grinding laws, including Rittinger's and Kick's laws. Submicron size is obtained at maximum frictional shear stress. Alterations in properties of wettability, heat resistance, thermal conductivity, and adhesion increase with increasing particle surface area. In the comparison of the aspect ratio of the submicron powder, the air heat conductivity and the total heat release amount increase 68 % and 2 times, respectively.
