본 연구는 옥외저장탱크에서 발생한 화재·폭발사고의 근본적인 사례분석을 통해 저장탱크의 안전을 유지할 목적으로 수행되었다. 이 사고는 저장탱크 야드에 사업장 외에서 날아온 풍등이 저장탱크 주변 잔디에 떨어지며 발생한 잔재 화재가 서서히 확산되어 탱크 내부의 유증기와 만나 폭발·화재로 이어진 사고였다. 사고의 원인을 밝혀내기 위하여 CCTV영상분석을 통한 대기확산 조건 도출, 전산유체역학을 이용한 풍향 분석, 플러팅 루프가 최저 위치일 때의 탱크 내부 유증기 발생량, 최고 위치일 때의 탱크 내부 유증기 거동을 통하여 저장탱크의 폭발이 일어난 원인을 밝혀내어 저장탱크의 레벨을 내부부상형 지붕 이하로 유지했을 경우 위험물이 충전되면서 그 공간에 있던 유증기가 내부 부상지붕위에 정체될 가능성이 있으므로 저장탱크의 Low liquid level이 폰튠 서포트 밑에 위치하지 않도록 운전절차를 개선하고, 오픈 벤트에는 화염방지기를 설치하여 화염이 저장탱크로 유입하지 못하도록 하는 대책을 제시하고자 한다.

하천수 플룸(plume)의 퍼짐을 다루는 역학은 플룸의 경계면이 시간과 공간에 따라서 변하기 때문에 자유경계조건의 문제(free boundary problem)로 다루어야 하는 대단히 복잡한 비선형 문제이다. 더욱이 플룸경계를 통한 주변수의 혼합까지 고려할 경우 그 복잡성은 한층 더해진다. 이러한 비선형성과 복잡성을 피하는 기법의 하나가 적분해석법인 바, 본 논문에서는 하천수 플룸의 흐름축에 수직한 횡방향 및 수심방향에 대하여 기본방정식들을 적분함으로 3차원 문제를 1차원 문제로 치환하는 적분해석법을 사용하였다. 다만 이 일이 가능하기 위해서는 유동변수들(유속, 밀도 등)의 횡방향 및 수심방향의 분포함수가 알려져 있음이 전제되어야 하는데 유속의 축방향성분 및 플룸과 주변수 간의 밀도차가 상기 두 방향에 대해서 가우스(Gauss)분포를 갖는다는 잘 검증된 가정을 활용하였다. 그리고 이 가정에서 플룸의 횡방향 유속을 도출해낸 본 연구자들의 기발표된 논문의 결과도 활용하였다. 결과로 얻어진 연행(entrainment)효과까지 포함한 방정식들을 Runge-Kutta 수치해석법을 사용하여 풀었다. 그리하여 하천수 풀룸의 3차원적 해석을 쉽게 수행할 수 있는 수치해석기법을 얻어냈다.

공연장 화재 시 방화막이 객석공간으로의 연기 확산을 억제하는데 중요한 역할을 할 수 있음에도 불구하고 이에 대한 연구가 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 전산시뮬레이션의 신뢰성을 확인하기 위하여 기존 축소모형실험에 대해 전산시뮬레이션을 수행하고 결과를 비교하였으며, 해당 전산시뮬레이션을 이용하여 방화막의 영향을 예측하였다. Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS)를 이용하였고, 자연배출구 크기는 무대공간 바닥면적의 ~10%, ~5%, ~1%로 설정하였다. 연기 거동을 가시화하고 질량 유량 및 온도 등을 측정하고 분석하였다. 실규모 공연장 화재에서의 방화막 영향을 예측하기 위하여 상사법칙을 활용하였다. 방화막이 없을 때 본 전산시뮬레이션 결과는 기존 축소모형실험 결과와 비교적 잘 일치하였다. 한편, 실규모 공연장 화재 시, 방화막은 자연배출구 및 프로시니엄 개구부를 통한 질량 유량 및 객석공간으로 soot 유출이 일어나는 시점에 지대한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과는 방화막 개발을 위한 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

An efficient large eddy simulation algorithm is used to compute surface pressure distributions on an eleven story (target) building on the NIST campus. Local meteorology, neighboring buildings, topography and large vegetation (trees) all play an important part in determining the flows and therefore the pressures experienced by the target. The wind profile imposed at the upstream surface of the computational domain follows a power law with an exponent representing a suburban terrain. This profile accounts for the flow retardation due to friction from the surface of the earth, but does not include fluctuations that would naturally occur in this flow. The effect of neighboring buildings on the time dependent surface pressures experienced by the target is examined. Comparison of the pressure fluctuations on the single target building alone with those on the target building in situ show that, owing to vortices shed by the upstream buildings, fluctuations are larger when such buildings are present. Even when buildings are lateral to or behind the target, the pressure disturbances generate significantly different flows around this building. A simple grid-free mathematical model of a tree is presented in which the trunk and the branches are each represented by a collection of spherical particles strung together like beads on a string. The drag from the tree, determined as the sum of the drags of the component particles, produces an oscillatory, spreading wake of slower fluid, suggesting that the behavior of trees as wind breakers can be modeled usefully.

While the global food system prevails in America, the community food system is also spreading rapidly. The former, which is based on industrial agriculture, has negative impacts on family farms, food safety, and community development. In contrast, the latter has positive effects on farmers, consumers, communities, and the environment. Community food systems have been able to grow successfully through the participation of farmers and consumers, support of the federal and state governments, and the initiatives of NGOs. Food Circle, upon which this study focuses, is one of the community food systems based on the regional level. It is the outcome of the green movement in Kansas City, Missouri. The goal of Food Circle in Missouri is to retain and support rural family farms by connecting them with regional consumers. Its main activity is to collect data, including a directory of farmers and their regional products, and distribute this data to regional consumers. It is informally organized and entirely self funded. Although community food systems have several problems, their development is to continue in America. The food system in Korea has become a global one in recent decades, and agricultural problems and food safety issues are being generated as a result. The development of community food systems would be helpful in resolving these problems. In order to activate community food systems in Korea as seen in America's case, it would be necessary to have the imperative participation of both farmers and consumers, the support of the central and provincial governments, and the initiatives of NGOs.

Ligand-receptor clustering event is the most important step in leukocyte adhesion and spreading on endothelial cells. Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) has been shown to enhance leukocyte adhesion, but the molecular event during the process of adhesion is unclear. To visualize the dynamics of ICAM-1 movement during adhesion, we have engineered stable Chinese hamster ovary cell lines expressing ICAM-1 fused to a green fluorescent protein (IC1_GFP/CHO) and examined them under the fluorescence microscopy. The transfection of IC1_GFP alone in these cells was sufficient to support the adhesion of K562 cells that express $\alpha$L$\beta$2 (LFA-1) integrin stimulated by CBR LFA-1/2 mAb. This phenomenon was mediated by ICAM-1-LFA-1 interactions, as an mAb that specifically inhibits ICAM-1-LFA-1 interaction (RRl/l) completely abolished the adhesion of LFA-1＊ cells to IC1_ GFP/CHO cells. We found that the characteristic of adhesion was followed almost immediately (~10 min) by the rapid accumulation of ICAM-1 on CHO cells at a tight interface between the two cells. Interestingly, ICI_GFP/CHO cells projected plasma membrane and encircled approximately half surface of LFA-1+ cells, as defined by confocal microscopy. This unusual phenomenon was also confirmed on HUVEC after adhesion of LFA-1＊ cells. Neither cytochalasin D nor 2,3-butanedione 2-monoxime an inhibitor of myosin light chain kinase blocked LFA-1-mediated ICAM-1 clustering, indicating that actin cytoskeleton and myosin-dependent contractility are not necessary for ICAM-1 clustering. Taken together, we suggest that leukocyte adhesion to endothelial cells induces specialized form of ICAM-1 clustering that is distinct from immunological synapse mediated by T cell interaction with antigen presenting cells.

Recently, damage occurrence by wind erosion has been increasing in society. In times past, such problems only took place in desert area ; however, in recent years, the wind erosion problem is spreading out to agricultural land. Wind erosion in agricultural land can cause loss of loam soils, the disturbance of the photosynthesis of the crop fields and serious economic losses. To overcome the mentioned problems, installation of windbreak fence can be recommended which function as disturbing strong wind and wind erosion. However, there is still no proper guideline to install the windbreak fence and the installation used to rely on the intuition of the workers due to the lack of related studies. Therefore, this study measured the aerodynamic resistance of screens of the windbreak fence using the apparatus for testing screens. The apparatus for testing screens was designed to measure pressure loss around the screen. Measured pressure loss by wall friction compensated for pressure loss to calculate the aerodynamic resistance of screens. The result of pressure loss by regression analysis derived the aerodynamic coefficient of Darcy-Forchheimer equation and power law equation. The aerodynamic resistance was constant regardless of the overlapped shape when the screen was overlapped into several layers. Increasing the number of layers of the screen, internal resistance increased significantly more, and pressure loss caused by the screen also increased linearly when the wind speed was certain conditions, but permeability had no tendency. In the future, the results of this study will be applied to the computational fluid dynamics simulation. The simulation models will be also validated in advance by wind tunnel experiments. It will provide standard of a design for constructing windbreak fence.

최근 들어, 효과적인 화재감지를 위해 이종 화재센서 데이터들을 융합하는 방안들이 제안되었으나, 룰 기반의 방법의 경우 적응성과 정밀도가 낮고, 퍼지추론의 경우 영상에 대한 고려 미흡으로 검출 속도와 정밀도가 떨어지는 등의 문제점들이 있다. 더불어 영상기반 딥러닝 기술들도 제안되었으나, 실제 상황에서 카메라가 없거나 카메라 영역 밖의 화재 발생에 대한 신속한 탐지가 어렵다. 이에 본 논문에서는 CNN 기반의 딥러닝 알고리즘과 온도 습도 가스 연기를 포함하는 이종 화재센서 데이터기반의 퍼지추론엔진을 결합시킨 새로운 방식의 화재 감지 시스템을 제안한다. 이로써 영상 데이터를 활용한 신속한 화재 감지와 이종 센서 데이터들을 이용한 신뢰성 있는 화재 감지가 가능해짐을 보인다. 또한, 대규모 시스템에서 컴퓨팅 파워의 지나친 서버 집중을 방지하기 위해 화재 인식 알고리즘에 분산 컴퓨팅 구조를 채택하여 확장성을 높인다. 마지막으로, NIST 화재 동역학 시뮬레이터를 이용한 화재 시뮬레이션 데이터와 화재영상을 활용하여 화재가 점진적으로 번지는 환경과 급작스럽게 폭발이 발생하는 환경에서 실험을 수행함으로써 시스템의 성능을 검증한다.

The study aimed to investigate the effect of low-frequency oscillations on the cow udder, milk parameters, and animal welfare during the automated milking process. The study's objective was to investigate the impact of low-frequency oscillations on the udder and teats' blood circulation by creating a mathematical model of mammary glands, using milkers and vibrators to analyze the theoretical dynamics of oscillations. The mechanical vibration device developed and tested in the study was mounted on a DeLaval automatic milking machine, which excited the udder with low-frequency oscillations, allowing the analysis of input parameters (temperature, oscillation amplitude) and using feedback data, changing the device parameters such as vibration frequency and duration. The experimental study was performed using an artificial cow's udder model with and without milk and a DeLaval milking machine, exciting the model with low-frequency harmonic oscillations (frequency range 15-60 Hz, vibration amplitude 2-5 mm). The investigation in vitro applying low-frequency of the vibration system's first-order frequencies in lateral (X) direction showed the low-frequency values of 23.5-26.5 Hz (effective frequency of the simulation analysis was 25.0 Hz). The tested values of the first-order frequency of the vibration system in the vertical (Y) direction were 37.5-41.5 Hz (effective frequency of the simulation analysis was 41.0 Hz), with higher amplitude and lower vibration damping. During in vivo experiments, while milking, the vibrator was inducing mechanical milking-similar vibrations in the udder. The vibrations were spreading to the entire udder and caused physiotherapeutic effects such as activated physiological processes and increased udder base temperature by 0.57℃ (p < 0.001), thus increasing blood flow in the udder. Used low-frequency vibrations did not significantly affect milk yield, milk composition, milk quality indicators, and animal welfare. The investigation results showed that applying low-frequency vibration on a cow udder during automatic milking is a non-invasive, efficient method to stimulate blood circulation in the udder and improve teat and udder health without changing milk quality and production. Further studies will be carried out in the following research phase on clinical and subclinical mastitis cows.

한국 남해연안해역에서 분리한 유독와편모조류 $Alexandrium$ $tamarense$와 $Alexandrium$ $catenella$의 성장에 영향을 미치는 수온과 염분의 특성을 실내 배양실험을 통해 살펴보았다. 수온은 10, 15, 20, 25, $30^{\circ}C$의 5단계, 염분은 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 psu의 6단계를 조합한 총 30단계의 조건에서 성장속도 변화를 관찰하였다. 최대성장속도를 보이는 수온과 염분은 $A.$ $tamarense$에서 $15^{\circ}C$와 30 psu, $A.$ $catenella$에서 $25^{\circ}C$와 30 psu로 나타났다. 또한 최적성장조건은 $A.$ $tamarense$에서 $10-20^{\circ}C$, 25-35 psu이고, $A.$ $catenella$에서 $20-30^{\circ}C$, 25-35 psu였다. 얻어진 수온과 염분의 조건을 이용하여 중회귀분석에 의해 예측 모델식을 계산한 결과, $A.$ $tamarense$는 ${\mu}=0.04+0.0193T-0.0339S-0.0005T^2+0.0021S^2+0.00073TS-0.000022T^3-0.000038S^3+0.00000086TS^2-0.0000255T^2S$이며, $A.$ $catenella$는 ${\mu}=1.01-0.1288T-0.0778S+0.0067T^2+0.0038S^2+0.00204TS-0.0001T^3-0.000059S^3-0.0000131TS^2-0.0000392T^2S$로 나타났으며, 예측값과 실험값 사이에는 높은 상관관계를 보였다. 본 연구결과는 수온과 염분의 현장관측 값을 이용하여 성장속도를 추정할 수 있기 때문에, $A.$ $tamarense$와 $A.$ $catenella$의 개체군 확대를 이해하는데 도움이 될것으로 기대된다.
