The purpose of this study was to examine the differences in skin temperature and thermal comfort of participants in a $19^\circ{C}$ room (the recommended room temperature in the winter) depending on age, sex and clothing weight. Subjects were divided into four groups (6 young males, 5 young females, 6 old males, 6 old females) and experimental trials consisted of three conditions: wearing underwear in a $19^\circ{C}$ room (19CUW), without underwear in a $19^\circ{C}$ room (19C), and without underwear in a $24^\circ{C}$ room (24C). The results indicated the following: 1) There were no significant differences in mean skin temperature based on age or sex, and the mean skin temperatures of the four groups were in the range of 32.4∼$34.0^\circ{C}$. 2) In the 19C condition, the skin temperatures of the hands and feet of old females were higher than those of the other three groups. 3) In terms of perceived thermal comfort, young females showed a tendency to feel the most uncomfortable. Both old and young groups agreed that the 24C condition was the most comfortable. 4) Relational coefficients between thermal comfort and skin temperatures were higher in the young group than in the old group. Furthermore, the perceived thermal comfort had a stronger relationship with mean skin temperatures than with local skin temperatures. 5) The mean skin temperatures of subjects who indicated they were 'comfortable' were in the range of 31∼$36^\circ{C}$ regardless of age or sex.

This paper reports a thermal environmental analysis of a room in accommodated with multi-heat sources according to ventilation condition. Two case modification have been investigated to obtain the lower temperature distribution in the room. The temperature distribution of the original room were found about $25{\sim}35^{\circ}C$. As a result, the use of, three ventilating fans and two electric fans are useful for room ventilation respectively, and using two electric fan is more recommendable in side of economical efficiency.

The temperature and humidity distribution in a dry room are studied numerically by using standard$\kappa-\varepsilon$ turbulence model. In order to evaluate effective heat and moisture ventilation characteristics inside the room, the heat removal capacity and moisture exhaust efficiency are introduced. An effective ventilation control is analyzed by evaluating quantitatively temperature and humidity distributions. It was found that the mean absolute humidity inside the room was almost constant with approximately 0.1905g/kg air regardless of the models and the heat generation rates. This was believed that the moisture generation by workers was relatively small. 40% improvement of the critical decay time was achieved, through the modifications of design variables.

An Indium Zinc Oxide(IZO) transparent conductive layer was deposited on a large size glass substrate by using magnetron dc sputtering method with varying a deposition temperature. As the deposition temperature decreased to a room temperature, the sheet resistance of IZO film increased. But this deposition temperature range is included in an applicable to a device. From a standpoint of the sheet resistance, the differences of the sheet resistance were not great and the uniformity of the layer was uniformed around 10%. Crystallization particles were shown on the surface of the layer as deposition temperature increased, but these particles were not shown on the surface of the layer as deposition temperature decreased to the room temperature. It didn't make a scrap of difference in a transmittance of varying deposition temperature. Therefore, it is concluded that IZO thin film manufactured by the room temperature deposition condition can be used as a large size transparent conductive layer of a liquid crystal display device.

We report on the fabrication of organic-based flexible displays using an amorphous IZO anode grown at room temperature. The IZO anode films were grown by a conventional DC reactive sputtering on the polycarbonate (PC) substrate at room temperature using a synthesized IZO target in a $Ar/O_2$ ambient. Both x-ray diffraction (XRD) and high resolution electron microscope (HREM) examination results show that the IZO anode film grown at room temperature Is complete amorphous structure due to low substrate temperature. A sheet resistance of $35.6\Omega/\Box$, average transmittance above 90 % in visible range, and root mean spare roughness of $6\sim10.5\AA$ were obtained even in the IZO anode film grown on PC substrate at room temperature. It is shown that the $Ir(ppy)_3$ doped flexible organic light emitting diode (OLED) fabricated on the IZO anode exhibit comparable current-voltage-luminance characteristics as well as external quantum efficiency and power efficiency to OLED fabricated on conventional ITO/Glass substrate. These findings indicate that the IZO anode film grown on PC substrate is a promising anode materials for the fabrication of organic based flexible displays.

Metallurgical and mechanical experiments were performed to explain unexpected surface cracks encountered in fabricating ground rolled-billet of Fe-Cr-Al alloys at room temperature. The toughness of these alloys containing between 220 and 236 ppm (C+N) has been assessed using notched-bar impact tests. According to our results, with a larger grain size, a higher interstitial content of (C+N) or a smaller size of precipitates, ductile to brittle temperature(DBTT) increased and absorbed energy decreased at room temperature. These results suggest that the surface cracks at room temperature stem from a poor resistance to brittle fracture, due to dislocation movement by the finely dispersed carbides within grains under the condition of higher (C+N) content.

The warping of unsymmetric laminated composites is induced by residual curing stress at the room temperature. Classical lamination theory (C.L.T.) predicts the room temperature shapes of all unsymmetric laminates to be a saddle. Experimental observations, however, indicate some unsymmetric laminated composites have cylindrical room temperature shapes. This anomalous behavior is explained by the extention of C.L.T. which involves Von Karman's large deflection theory. It is shown that, depending on the thickness, width, length, curing temperature and room temperature of the laminate, critical boundaries of the shape change are determined. Theoretical predictions are compared with experimental results of Toray Graphite/Epoxy {O$_{n}$/90$_{n}$}$_{T}$./....

Higher number in colony counts in coliforms, total aerobes, and anerobes was obtained from marketable soy-bean mash than front that in fermented tank. The ratio between coliform contamination and total viable cells was higher in red pepper mash than in soy-bean mash. E. coli, contaminated in soy-bean mash persisted longer at low temperature ($0^{\circ}C$-$^5{\circ}C$) than at room temperature and they vanished after seven days of storage at room temperature. At 30.deg.C and 35.deg.C, these organisms were more effected than at room temperature. E. coli cells, inoculated in red pepper mash, were not recovered at room temperature after five days incubation. Soy-bean mash, completely fermented at normal conditions, were detected to contain $10^8$- $10^9$ organisms per gram of sample. On the contrary, marketable soy-bean mash were found to have more than 10$^{9}$ per gram samples. Since samples were found to have more than $10^9$ aerobes and anaerobes per gram, contamination of coliforms seemed to be apparent.

Magnetotransport is a prerequisite to realization of electronic operation of spintronic devices and it would be more useful if realized at room temperature. The effects of Be codoping on GaMnAs on magnetotransport were investigated. Mn flux was varied for growth of precipitated GaMnAs layers under a Be flux for degenerate doping via low-temperature molecular beam epitaxy. Magnetotransport as well as ferromagnetism at room temperature were realized in the precipitated GaAs:(Mn,Be) layers. Codoping of Be was shown to promote formation of MnGa clusters, and annealing process further stabilized the cluster phases. The room-temperature magnetic properties of the layers originate from the ferromagnetic clusters of MnGa and MnAs embedded in GaAs. The degenerately doped metallic GaAs matrix allowed the visualization of the magnetotransport through anomalous Hall effect.

To find out heating load and to determine the power of heat pump compressor for the Ondol room heating the COP of heat pump, the variation of Ondol room air temperature, the variation of ambient temperature and power consumption of heat pump are analyzed. The results from this study were summarized as follows: 1. The COP of the heat pump in close loop decreased as the ambient air temperature. The COP was 2.26 when the temperature difference of condenser was $20\pm3^{\circ}C$. 2. The Ondol surface temperature was $25\pm3^{\circ}C$ when the hot water of $40^{\circ}C$ was supplied from hot water storage tank to the Ondol and the temperature difference between the Ondol surface and the room air temperature was $7~8^{\circ}C$. 3. The ratio of thermal conduction heating load to total heating load in Ondol heating space was found to be 83% and ratio of ventilation heating load was 17%. Therefore, the thermal conduction heating load was confirmod to be a major heating load in Ondol heating space. 4. In case of the ambient temperature of $3.2^{\circ}C$, the efficiency of heat exchange of Ondol heating system was 85%. 5. The heating load per Ondol heating surface area and volume of Ondol room space were theoretically analyzed. In case of the room temperature of $20^{\circ}C$ and the ambient temperature of $-3.2~3.8^{\circ}C$, the heating load per Ondol surface area was 115.8~167.6kJ/h ㆍ㎥ and per Ondol mom space volume was 50.2~72.7kJ/h ㆍ㎥. 6. The compressor power of heat pump fur the Ondol room heating could be determined with the heating load analyzed in this study In case of the Ondol room air temperature of 17~2$0^{\circ}C$ and the ambient temperature of -5~3.8$^{\circ}C$, the compressor power of heat pump per Ondol surface area was analyzed to be $2.3\times10^{-2}psm^2$, and per volume of Ondol room space $1.0\times10^{-2}1.4\times10^{-2}ps/m^2$ps.
