빌딩에서 발생하는 폐열을 활용할 목적으로 동절기 옥상정원에서 푸른 잔디를 유지하기 위한 잔디생육시험을 실시하였다. 옥상정원 지반에 Heating system을 설치하여 시기별 잔디생육상태를 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. 겨울철 옥상녹화 지반을 heating처리한 결과, 무처리구에 비해 잔디품질 및 피복률이 우수하였으며, 잔디의 뿌리길이, 잔디밀도가 모두 상승하였다. 표면온도를 비교한 결과, heating지반의 온도는 평균 $10.9^{\circ}C$로 $0^{\circ}C$를 유지하였던 무처리 지반에 비해 월등히 높았으나, 수분함량은 평균 1.9% 낮아진 것은 $10.9^{\circ}C$로 유지된 지온으로 인해 수분증발이 계속 이루지는 것으로 사료되었다. 적설량이 15cm 이상 쌓인 상황에서, 히팅 시스템이 설치된 잔디밭에서는 4일만 눈이 완전히 녹았으나 대조구에서는 적설량의 변화가 거의 없었다. Heating system의 보일러 수온을 $55^{\circ}C$에서 $60^{\circ}C$로 높이자, 잔디는 건조 스트레스를 받아 잎끝이 마르는 증상이 나타났다. 앞으로 옥상정원에서의 잔디 재배과 관계된 세부적인 생리적 스트레스에 관한 연구가 필요하다고 판단된다.

흙의 전기적 특성은 지반 상태를 평가하는 방법으로 사용되어 왔다. 본 논문의 목적은 현장 지반의 간극률을 우수한 정밀도로 평가하기 위한 현장 관입용 전기비저항 콘 프로브의 개발 및 적용성 평가이다. 전기비저항 콘 프로브는 관입에 따른 교란을 최소화시키기 위해 콘 모양으로 제작되었다. 또한 전기적 간섭을 최소화시키기 위해 외부전극과 중심전극이 4단자 쌍 회로 방식으로 구성되어 있다. 개발된 장비의 현장 적용성 정가를 위하여 인천과 부산에서 현장실험을 수행하였으며, 콘관입장비를 이용하여 0.33mm/sec의 속도로 관입하면서 선단부에서 전기비저항 값을 측정하였다. 측정된 전기비저항 값과 비교란 시료로부터 얻은 간극수의 전기비저항 값을 Archie에 의해 제안된 경험식에 적용하여 대상지반의 간극률을 계산하였다. Archie 경험식의 실험상수는 비교란시료로부터 추출한 간극수에 근거하여 결정하였다. 산정된 간극률의 프로파일을 동일 지역에서 수행된 SPT, CPT, 그리고 DMT의 지반조사 결과와 비교한 결과 경향성이 상당히 유사한 것으로 나타났다. 본 논문에서 제안된 ERCP는 대상 지반의 교란을 최소화시키며 현장의 국부적인 간극률 산정에 효과적인 장비일 것으로 나타났다.

The assessment of structural performance of transfer structures under potential seismic actions is presented. Various seismic assessment methodologies are used, with particular emphasis on the accurate modelling of the higher mode effects and the potential development of a soft storey effect in the mega-columns below the transfer plate (TP) level. Those methods include response spectrum analysis (RSA), manual calculation, pushover analysis (POA) and equivalent static load analysis (ESA). The capabilities and limitations of each method are highlighted. The paper aims, firstly, to determine the appropriate seismic assessment methodology for transfer structures using these different approaches, all of which can be undertaken with the resources generally available in a design office. Secondly, the paper highlights and discusses factors influencing the response behaviour of transfer structures, and finally provides a general indication of their seismic vulnerability. The representative Hong Kong building considered in this paper utilises a structural system with coupled shear walls and moment resisting portal-frames, above and below the TP, respectively. By adopting the wind load profile stipulated in the Code of Practice on Wind Effects: Hong Kong-1983, all the structural members are sized and detailed according to the British Standards BS8110 and the current local practices. The seismic displacement demand for the structure, when built on either rock or deep soil sites, was determined in a companion paper. The lateral load-displacement characteristic of the building, determined herein from manual calculation, has indicated that the poor ductility (brittle nature) of the mega-columns, due mainly to the high level of axial pre-compression as found from the analysis, cannot be effectively alleviated solely by increasing the quantity of confinement stirrups. The interstorey drift demands at lower and upper zones caused by seismic actions are found to be substantially higher than those arising from wind loads. The mega-columns supporting the TP and the coupling beams at higher zones are identified to be the most vulnerable components under seismic actions.

The objective of this study was to extensively estimate the air quality trends of the study area by surveying con-centration trends in months or seasons, after analyzing the mass concentration of PM-10 samples and the inorganic lements, ion, and total carbon in PM-10. Also, the study introduced to apply the PMF (Positive Matrix Factoriza-tion) model that is useful when absence of the source profile. Thus the model was thought to be suitable in Korea that often has few information about pollution sources. After obtaining results from the PMF modeling, the existing sources at the study area were qualitatively identified The PM-10 particles collected on quartz fiber filters by a PM-10 high-vol air sampler for 3 years (Mar. 1999∼Dec.2001) in Kyung Hee University. The 25 chemical species (Al, Mn, Ti, V, Cr, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Cd, Ba, Ce, Pb, Si, N $a^{#}$, N $H_4$$^{+}$, $K^{+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, $Ca^{2+}$, C $l^{[-10]}$ , N $O_3$$^{[-10]}$ , S $O_4$$^{2-}$, TC) were analyzed by ICP-AES, IC, and EA after executing proper pre - treatments of each sample filter. The PMF model was intensively applied to estimate the quantitative contribution of air pollution sources based on the chemical information (128 samples and 25 chemical species). Through a case study of the PMF modeling for the PM-10 aerosols. the total of 11 factors were determined. The multiple linear regression analysis between the observed PM-10 mass concentration and the estimated G matrix had been performed following the FPEAK test. Finally the regression analysis provided source profiles (scaled F matrix). So, 11 sources were qualitatively identified, such as secondary aerosol related source, soil related source, waste incineration source, field burning source, fossil fuel combustion source, industry related source, motor vehicle source, oil/coal combustion source, non-ferrous metal source, and aged sea- salt source, respectively.ively.y.

기존 개탁식터널은 굴착경사와 관계없이 터널상부에는 되메움지반의 자중이 그리고, 터널벽체에는 정지토압이 작용하는 것으로 가정하여 설계되고 있다. 그러나 개착식터널에 실제 작용하는 토압은 개착규모에 따라 다르며 이에 따라 터널라이닝의 구조적거동 또한 다르게 나타난다. 본 연구에서는 수치해석적방법을 사용하여 굴착경사가 터널라이닝에 미치는 영향을 다음과 같이 조사하였다. 첫째로, 지반범용수치해석프로그램인 FLAC2D를 사용하여 개착공법으로 시공된 기존 터널의 변형거동을 모사할 수 있는 수치해석방법을 활용하여 현장의 계측결과와 비교하므로써 수치해석방법의 타당성을 검증하였고, 둘째로, 동일한 수치해석기법을 적용하여 굴착경사가 $30^{\circ}\;, 456{\circ},\; 60^{\circ},\; 75^{\circ}%인 개착식터널에 작용하는 토압 및 변위와 터널라이닝에 발생하는 단면력을 조사하였다. 수치해석에 사용된 개착식터널은 2차로 도로터널이며, 터널라이닝과 되메움지반 사이의 마찰력을 고려하기 위하여 접합면 요소를 사용하였다. 수치 해석결과, 되메움지반과 터널라이닝 및 굴착사면 사이의 마찰력에 의한 되메움지반 내부의 아칭현상으로 인하여 굴착 경사가 클수록 터널벽체에 상대적으로 작은 토압이 작용하였으며, 이에 따라 터널라이닝의 변형, 모멘트, 전단력이 증가하였음을 알 수 있었다.

The positive matrix factorization (PMF2) and multilinear engine (ME2) models have been shown to be powerful environmental analysis techniques and have been successfully applied to the assessment of ambient particulate matter (PM) source contributions. Because these models are difficult to apply practically, the US EPA developed a more user-friendly version of the PMF. The initial version of the EPA PMF model does not provide any rotational capabilities; for this reason, the model was upgraded to include rotational functions in the EPA PMF ver. 2.0. In this study, PMF and EPA PMF modeling identified ten particulate matter sources including secondary sulfate I, vehicle gasoline, secondary sulfate II, secondary nitrate, secondary sulfate III, incinerators, aged sea salt, airborne soil particles, oil combustion, and diesel emissions. All of the source profiles determined by the two models showed excellent agreement. The calculated average concentrations of $PM_{2.5}$ were consistent between the PMF2 and EPA PMF ($17.94{\pm}0.30{\mu}g/m^3$ and $17.94{\pm}0.30\;{\mu}g/m^3$, respectively). Also, each set of estimated source contributions of the PMF2 and EPA PMF showed good agreement. The results from the new EPA PMF version applying rotational functions were consistent with those of PMF2. Therefore, the updated version of EPA PMF with rotational capabilities will provide more reasonable solutions compared with those of PMF2 and can be more widely applied to air quality management.

A total of 328 ambient PM-10 samples was collected by a PM-10 high volume air sampler during the periods of February 1997 to February 1999 from Kyung Hee University at Suwon Campus. The samples were analyzed for their bulk chemical compositions(Cu, Fe, Pb, Zn, Al, $Na^{+}$, $NH_{4}^{+}$, $K^{+}$, $Ca^{2+]$, $Mg^{2+}$, $Cl^{-}$, $NO_{3}^{-}$, and $SO_{4}^{2-}$ by both an atomic absorption spectrophotometer and an ion chromatograph. The purpose of this study was t develop a receptor methodology for quantitative assessment of PM-10 sources. The data obtained from this study were ex-tensively examined using the target transformation factor analysis(TTFA) and the chemical mass balance (CMB). When TTFA was initially applied seasonal basis. five sources(such as automobile-related, sulfate-related, incine-ration, soil and combustion-related) were identified both during winter and fall. Since the total number and the type of sources were resolved by TTFA for the four seasons, CMB was employed to cross-check the results of TTEA. The total of six source categories identified by TTEA was intensively investigated on the basis of source profiles acquired from various source libraries established both in Korea and abroad. The results of this study showed the applicability of two popular receptor models as a new methdology for quantitative assessment PM-10 sources in Korea. Seasonally segmented data sets with the combined application of TTFA and CMB yielded a physically reasonable source apportionment result and provided a mean to increase the number of potential sources. Furthermore, this study suggested the possibility of the CMB application to ambi-ent data from Korea after identifying potential sources through traditional factor analysis.

An orchestrated attempt was made to analyze samples of bulk and individual particulate matters (PM) collected at the Gosan ground-based station on the west coast of Jeju, Korea. A two-stage filter pack sampler was operated to collect particles in both large (> $1.2\;{\mu}m$) and small size fractions (< $1.2\;{\mu}m$) between the Asian dust (hereafter called "AD") storm event and non-Asian dust period. Elemental components in bulk and individual particles were determined by PIXE and synchrotron XRF analysis systems, respectively. To assess the transport pathways of air parcels and to determine the spatial distribution of PM, the backward trajectories of the Meteorological Data Explorer (Center for Global Environmental Research, 2010) and the NOAA's HYSPLIT dispersion-trajectory models were applied. In line with general expectations, Si and other crustal elements in large size particles showed considerably higher mass loading on AD days in comparison with non-AD days. Computation of the crustal enrichment factors [(Z/Si)$_{particle}$/(Z/Si)$_{desert}$ sand] of elements in large size particles (> $1.2\;{\mu}m$) allowed us to estimate the source profile and chemical aging of AD particles as well as to classify the soil-origin elements. On the basis of a single particle analysis, individual AD particles are classified into three distinct groups (neutralized mineral particles, S-rich mineral particles, and imperfectly neutralized particles).

Pseudomonas fluorescens GL20 is a plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium that produces a large amount of hydroxamate siderophore under iron-limited conditions. The strain GL20 considerably inhibited the spore germination and hyphal growth of a plant pathogenic fungus, Fusarium solani, when iron was limited, significantly suppressed the root-rot disease on beans caused by F. solani, and enhanced the plant growth. The mechanism for the beneficial effect of strain GL20 on the disease suppression was due to the siderophore production, evidenced by mutant strains derived from the strain. Analysis of the outer membrane protein profile revealed that the growth of strain GL20 induced the synthesis of specific iron-regulated outer membrane proteins with molecular masses of 85- and 90 kDa as the high-affinity receptors for the ferric siderophore. In addition, a cross-feeding assay revealed the presence of multiple inducible receptors for heterologous siderophores in the strain. In order to induce increased efficacy and potential in biological control of plant disease, a siderophore-overproducing mutant, GL20-S207, was prepared by NTG mutagenesis. The mutant GL20-S207 produced nearly 2.3 times more siderophore than the parent strain. In pot trials of beans with F. solani, the mutant increased plant growth up to 1.5 times compared with that of the parent strain. These results suggest that the plant growth-promoting P. fluorescens GL20 and the genetically bred P. fluorescens GL20-S207 can play an important role in the biological control of soil-borne plant diseases in the rhizosphere.

Soil samples were screened for actinomycete strains capable of producing phospholipase D, and a strain, Streptomyces sp. YU100, showing a high transphosphatidylation activity was isolated. This strain secreted phospholipase D in a culture broth after 12 h of cultivation, and its productivity continued to increase for 36 h of fermentation. In addition, its transphosphatidylation rate of phosphatidylcholine to phosphatidylserine was almost $68\%$ within 1 h. The morphological and chemotaxonomical characteristics showed that this strain could be classified as a number of the Streptomycetaceae family, particularly due to the spiral form of its spore chain consisting of 60-70 smooth spores $(0.75{\times}1.0{\mu}m$) on an aerial mycelium, FA-2c type of fatty acid profile in the cell wall, and LL-DAP component in the cell wall peptidoglycan. A phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rDNA provided a clue that the strain YU100 was actually a member of the genus Streptomyces, because the determined sequence exhibited a higher homology with Streptomyes sp. ASB27, S. peucetius JCM9920, and S. griseus ATCC10137. A dendrogram based on the 16S rDNA sequences also showed a phylogenetic relationship between the strain YU100 and these strains. However, the strain YU100 has not yet been assigned to a particular species, because of absence of any other classified species with a high matching score.
