Lecture rooms are crowded with many attendees. Moreover, they rely significantly on the natural ventilation through windows for removing and controlling indoor contaminants such as CO₂. With the aim of broadening the understanding of the characteristics of natural ventilation phenomena in lecture rooms, the average individual CO₂ release rates of attendees were measured during the course of a lecture and compared with previously reported CO₂ release rates. In addition, the effects of natural ventilation through windows on the time-variant CO₂ concentrations in the center of the lecture room were measured and analyzed. Moreover, details about the overall and regional CO₂ concentrations, as well as the air flows in the lecture room, were simulated and analyzed with computational fluid dynamics software, Fluent 2020 R2. It was found that the average individual CO₂ release rates were slightly slower than previously reported rates. The local CO₂ concentrations in the lecture room for regions with a high density of attendees increased over a short period of time, although the natural ventilation was already started by opening the windows. The overall CO₂ concentration in the lecture room rapidly decreased in the early stage of ventilation, but declined very slowly after a longer period of ventilation time. Therefore, in order to enhance the efficiency of a lecture room's natural ventilation, it is recommended to homogeneously distribute the attendees in the lecture room, and to frequently open the windows for short periods of time.

To evaluate the cytotoxicity of cadmium compounds, this study was conducted to measure the in vitro magnetometry, LDH release and cellular apoptosis using alveolar macrophages of hamsters. A series of magnetometric measurements in cadmium-added groups showed a significant dose-dependent decay of the relaxation curves. The LDH release rates showed a dose-dependently increasing tendency as the dose gradually increased. The positive rates of apoptosis were significantly higher in cadmium-added groups than the control groups. Conclusively, the cytotoxicity increased in a dose dependent way as the concentration of cadmium added increased, which reflected in the decay of relaxation curve in magnetometry, and increased LDH release rate and positive rate of apoptosis.

This study refers to the development of a hydrologic model simulating daily inflow and release rates for irrigation reservoirs. A daily - based model is needed for adequate operation of an irrigation reservoir sufficing the water demand for paddy fields which is closely related to meteorological conditions. Inflow rates to a reservoir need to be accurately described, which may be simulated using a hydrologic model from daily rainfall data. And the objective of this paper is to develop, test, and apply a hydrologic model for daily runoff simmulation. A well - known tank model was selected and modified to simulate daily inflow rates. The model parameters were calibrated using observed runoff data from twelve watersheds, Relationships between the parameters and the watershed characteristics were derived by a multiple regression analysis. The simulation results were in agreement with the data. The inflow model was found to simulate low flow conditions more accurately than high flow conditions, which may be adequate for water resources utilization.

하구형 호수인 아산호(평택호)에서 방조제 근처의 A지점과 상류 하천이 유입되는 B지점을 선정하여, 퇴적물 성상과 퇴적물에서 발생하는 영양염 용출량을 측정함으로써 퇴적물이 아산호 수질에 미치는 영향에 대해 살펴보았다. 아산호의 퇴적물은 sandy loam으로 이루어져있고, 대부분의 인이 Nonapatite-P(64.7%)의 형태로 존재하고 있으므로, 수중의 pH 상승이나 혐기성 상태로의 전환 등에 의해 다량의 인이 퇴적물에서 용출되어 수체의 부영양화에 영향을 줄 수 있는 가능성이 있다. 4월이 6월에 비해 용출율이 높게 나타남을 알 수 있었다. 방조제 근처인 A지점에서는 질소, 유입지천의 합류점인 B지점에서는 인의 용출이 활발히 일어났다. 용출율과 퇴적물의 표면적을 이용해 일일 평균 용출량을 계산해보면, TN는 6,609 kg/d, TP은 3,877 kg/d로 유입지천으로부터 유입되는 TN의 93,616 kg/d 중 7.06%, TP의 17,590 kg/d 중 22.04%에 해당되는 값으로, 아산호의 퇴적물이 저수지 수질에 미칠 영향은 적다고 볼 수 있다.

Any pre-existed delamination defect present during manufacturing or induce during service loading conditions in the wingskin adherend invariably shows a greater loss of structural integrity of the spar wingskin joint (SWJ). In the present study, inter-laminar delamination propagation at the critical location of the SWJ has been carried out using contact and multi-point constraint finite elements available with commercial FE software (ANSYS APDL). Strain energy release rates (SERR) based on virtual crack closure technique have been computed for evaluation of the opening (Mode-I), sliding (Mode-II) and cross sliding (Mode-III) modes of delamination by sequential release of multi point constraint elements. The variations of different modes of SERR are observed to be significant by considering varied delamination lengths, material properties of adherends and radius of curvature of the SWJ panel. The SERR rates are seen to be much different at the two pre-embedded delamination ends. This shows dissimilar delamination propagation rates. The maximum is seen to occur in the delamination front in the unstiffened region of the wingskin. The curvature geometry and material anisotropy of SWJ adherends significantly influences the SERR values. Increase in the SERR values are observed with decrease in the radius of curvature of wingskin panel, keeping its width unchanged. SWJs made with flat FRP composite adherends have superior resistance to delamination damage propagation than curved composite laminated SWJ panels. SWJ made with Boron/Epoxy (B/E) material shows greater resistance to the delamination propagation.

In order to obtain some informations about the effect of molecular weight on the release rate of drug from drug carrier, two types of poly-L-glutamic acid (PLGA)-cytarabine (ara-C) conjugates, PLGA-ara-C:I and PLGA-ara-C:II, were synthesized using two types of PLGA having different average molecular weight, 43,000 and 77,800, respectively. The PLGA-ara-C conjugates were synthesized by mixed anhydride method and found to be covalently linked. Both types of conjugates charged negatively at biological pH. The pH-dependent release rate of ara-C was observed in both cases, and the release rate was accelerated in basic, acidic conditions (the k values were 0.015 $day^{-1}$ at pH 7.0, 0.024 $day^{-1}$ at pH 5.0, and 0.059 $day^{-1}$ at pH 9.0 in the case of PLGA-ara-C:I) and in the presence of pretense. The time required for the release of 16.5% of ara-C from PLGA-ara-C:I were 8 hr and 144 hr in the presence and absence of protease, respectively. Although both types of conjugates showed similar drug substitution ratio, they showed different release rates. Between the two types of conjugates, PLGA-ara-C:II showed the faster release rate (0.030 vs 0.042 $day^{-1}$ in pH 7.4 phosphate buffer solution at $37^{\circ}C$) and the smaller activation energy for the release of drug (12.5 vs 7.7 Kcal/mol) than PLGA-ara-C:I. The characteristic effect of molecular weight on the release rates of PLGA-ara-C conjugates suggests that the drug release rate might be effectively controlled over a prolonged period of time by the combined use of the different types of PLGA-ara-C conjugates having different molecular weights.

This paper was performed to estimate interrelations between humus level of sediments and nutrient release from sediments in Dae-cheong reservoir. For investigations, sediments were sampled in June and October, in 1997 at fish farms, embayment, and the main stream of Dae-cheong reservoir. Items for investigation are as follows; water content, weight loss on ignition(IG), porosities of sediments, contents of element such as hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon, and nutrient release rates. Water contents and porosities were measured to conjecture the physical trait and grain size trait. Weight loss on ignition was measured to determine the contents of organic substance. For determination of the humus level of sediments, carbon and nitrogen contents were measured by elemental analyzer. As a result of elemental analysis, C/N ratio was determined in the range of $3.0\~13.1$. From the elemental analysis, humus level of Dae-cheong reservoir sediment was estimated from mesohumic state to oligotrophic state. For the determination of nutrient release rate, $PO_4-P$ and $NH_4-N$ concentrations of interstitial water and overlying water were measured. By using the concentration difference between interstitial water and overlying water and using the Fick's diffusion law, the release rates of phosphorus and nitrogen from the sediment samples were calculated. Release rates of nutrients which directly influence to the water quality were $0.05\~8.63mgP/m^2day$ and $4.99\~36.56mgP/m^2day$. It was found that release rate was measured higher in the 1st sampling period than in the 2nd sampling period. For the determination of phosphorus content in sediment, TPs were measured in 807\~1542{\mu}g/g$ in the 1st samling period and $677\~5238{\mu}g/g$ in the End samling period. Phosphorus release rate and phosphorus content were not interrelated each other.

In this study, we compare the mass release rates of radionuclides(1) from waste forms arising from the KIEP-21 pyroprocessing system with (2) those from the directly-disposed pressurized-water reactor spent fuel, to investigate the potential radiological and environmental impacts. In both cases, most actinides and their daughters have been observed to remain in the vicinity of waste packages as precipitates because of their low solubility. The effects of the waste-form alteration rate on the release of radionuclides from the engineered-barrier boundary have been found to be significant, especially for congruently released radionuclides. the total mass release rate of radionuclides from direct disposal concept is similar to those from the pyroprocessing disposal concept. While the mass release rates for most radionuclides would decrease to negligible levels due to radioactive decay while in the engineered barriers and the surrounding host rock in both cases even without assuming any dilution or dispersal mechanisms during their transport, significant mass release rates for three fission-product radionuclides, $^{129}I$, $^{79}Se$, and $^{36}Cl$, are observed at the 1,000-m location in the host rock. For these three radionuclides, we need to account for dilution/dispersal in the geosphere and the biosphere to confirm finally that the repository would achieve sufficient level of radiological safety. This can be done only after we have known where the repository site would by sited. the footprint of repository for the KIEP-21 system is about one tenth of those for the direct disposal.
