  • The Construction Industry Institute (CII) developed the Project Definition Rating Index (PDRI), as a part of their Front End Planning best practices, which helps project managers assess and measure project scope definition risk elements. U.S. Green Building Council are seeing the benefits of sustainable building and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification by positively impacting life cycle costs, building marketability, and organizational productivity. However, there have been no efforts to integrate these two planning tools in construction industry. By applying a supplemental tool which combines the PDRI with the LEED rating system, construction industry can develop and implement a tailored instrument that leads to total project success in sustainability. The objective of this research is to assemble a new front end planning mechanism for green buildings by incorporating the current PDRI and LEED systems.

  • Construction operations generate a significant amount of air pollutant emissions, including carbon emissions. The environmental performance of construction operations is closely relevant to the operational efficiency of each resource employed, which indicates how efficiently each resource (e.g., construction equipment) is utilized. In this context, monitoring the operational efficiency of construction equipment provides key information in managing and improving the environmental performance and productivity of construction operations. In this paper, we report our efforts to measure the operational efficiency of construction equipment, using low-cost accelerometers. An experimental study and real-world case studies are conducted to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed approach. The results have shown the potential of this approach as an economically feasible means of monitoring the environmental performance of construction operations.

  • 실내공기질(Indoor Air Quality, IAQ)은 실내에 상주하는 이용자의 심신에 영향을 주는 공기의 질이라고 정의할 수 있으며, 보통 일상생활을 영위하는 건물 내부의 공기상태이다. 과거에 비해 많은 사람들이 실내에서 거주하는 시간이 증가하였고, 생활수준이 높아짐에 따라 건강에 영향을 미치는 실내공기질에 대한 관심이 증대되고 있다. 사무실 근로자의 경우, 하루의 약 97%인 23시간 12분을 실내에서 보내는 것으로 조사되었는데, 오랜 시간 거주하는 근로자의 특성상 실내공기질은 건강뿐 아니라 업무 생산성과 효율성에도 영향을 미치는 것으로 발표되었다. 따라서 향후, 대학 사무공간의 실내공기질의 개선을 위해서는 전 세계적으로 공인된 미국의 냉동공조학회(ASHRAE)의 권고 사항처럼 1시간에 6회 이상의 공기 교환이 이루어 져야 할 것이며, 질 높은 쾌적함을 위해서 온습도 및 기류까지 고려한 환기시스템 계획이 세워져야 한다. 또 외기공기 유입을 막아 무조건적인 에너지 비용의 저감만을 강요할 것이 아니라, 적절한 환경 제공을 통해 기대되는 근로자의 의료비 절약과 생산성 향상을 통한 수익 발생 등의 요인을 고려해야 할 것이다.

  • 산림생산력의 예측은 지속가능한 산림경영이나 산림생태계서비스 증진을 위한 산림관리에 필수적인 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구는 전국 112개 신갈나무 임분을 대상으로 입지 및 토양 특성의 속성변수를 이용하여 지위 추정 모형을 개발하였다. 신갈나무 임분의 지위지수는 입지 및 토양 특성을 독립변수 한 일반최소제곱(Ordinary Least Squares, OLS) 및 부분최소제곱(Partial Least Squares, PLS) 회귀모형을 이용하여 유의적인 추정(P<0.05)이 가능하였다. 지위추정 회귀모형의 수정 결정계수(adjusted R2)는 입지 및 토양단면 속성변수의 회귀모형(A층: R2=0.29; B: R2=0.32)이, 토양 물리·화학적특성의 속성변수(A층: R2=0.09; B층: R2=0.21)보다 높게 나타났다. 한편, PLS 회귀모형(R2=0.20~0.32)은 OLS 회귀모형(R2=0.09~0.31)에 비해 지위지수 추정식의 설명력이 높았다. 본 연구로부터 신갈나무 임분의 입지 및 토양 특성을 이용한 지위 추정 회귀 모형이 개발되었으나, 결정계수 값이 낮아 회귀모형의 설명력을 향상시킬 수 있는 새로운 변수 개발이 필요할 것으로 사료되었다.

  • Due to the decrease in coastal productivity and deterioration in the quality of ecosystem which result from the excessive overfishing of fisheries resources and the environmental pollution, fisheries resources in the Korean waters hit the dangerous level in respect of quantity and quality. In order to manage sustainable and effective fisheries resources, it is necessary to suggest the potential yield (PY) for clarifying available fisheries resources in the Korean waters. So far, however, there have been few studies on the estimation methods for PY in Korea. In addition, there have been no studies on the comparative analysis of the estimation methods and the substantial estimation methods for PY targeted for large marine ecosystem (LME) For the reasonable management of fisheries resources, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive study on the estimation methods for the PY which combines population dynamics and ecosystem dynamics. To reflect the research need, this study conducts a comparative analysis of estimation methods for the PY in the Korean waters of the East Sea to understand the advantages and disadvantages of each method, and suggests the estimation method which considered both population dynamics and ecosystem dynamics to supplement shortcomings of each method. In this study, the maximum entropy (ME) model of the holistic production method (HPM) is considered to be the most reasonable estimation method due to the high reliability of the estimated parameters. The results of this study are expected to be used as significant basic data to provide indicators and reference points for sustainable and reasonable management of fisheries resources.

  • Overfishing capacity has become a global issue due to over-exploitation of fisheries resources, which result from excessive fishing intensity since the 1980s. In the case of Korea, the fishing effort has been quantified and used as an quantified index of fishing intensity. Fisheries resources of coastal fisheries in the Korean waters of the East Sea tend to decrease productivity due to deterioration in the quality of ecosystem, which result from the excessive overfishing activities according to the development of fishing gear and engine performance of vessels. In order to manage sustainable and reasonable fisheries resources, it is important to understand the fluctuation of biomass and predict the future biomass. Therefore, in this study, we forecasted biomass in the Korean waters of the East Sea for the next two decades (2017~2036) according to the changes in fishing intensity using four fishing effort scenarios; $f_{current}$, $f_{PY}$, $0.5{\times}f_{current}$ and $1.5{\times}f_{current}$. For forecasting biomass in the Korean waters of the East Sea, parameters such as exploitable carrying capacity (ECC), intrinsic rate of natural increase (r) and catchability (q) estimated by maximum entropy (ME) model was utilized and logistic function was used. In addition, coefficient of variation (CV) by the Jackknife re-sampling method was used for estimation of coefficient of variation about exploitable carrying capacity ($CV_{ECC}$). As a result, future biomass can be fluctuated below the $B_{PY}$ level when the current level of fishing effort in 2016 maintains. The results of this study are expected to be utilized as useful data to suggest direction of establishment of fisheries resources management plan for sustainable use of fisheries resources in the future.

  • Cassava (Manihot esculenta, Crantz), an annual tropical tuber crop, was nutritionally evaluated as a foliage for ruminants, especially dairy cattle. Cultivation of cassava biomass to produce hay is based on a first harvest of the foliage at three months after planting, followed every two months thereafter until one year. Inter-cropping of leguminous fodder as food-feed between rows of cassava, such as Leucaena leucocephala or cowpea (Vigna unculata), enriches soil fertility and provides additional fodder. Cassava hay contained 20 to 25% crude protein in the dry matter with good profile of amino acids. Feeding trials with cattle revealed high levels of DM intake (3.2% of BW) and high DM digestibility (71%). The hay contains tannin-protein complexes which could act as rumen by - pass protein for digestion in the small intestine. As cassava hay contains condensed tannins, it could have subsequent impact on changing rumen ecology particularly changing rumen microbes population. Therefore, supplementation with cassava hay at 1-2 kg/hd/d to dairy cattle could markedly reduce concentrate requirements, and increase milk yield and composition. Moreover, cassava hay supplementation in dairy cattle could increase milk thiocyanate which could possibly enhance milk quality and milk storage, especially in small holder-dairy farming. Condensed tannins contained in cassava hay have also been shown to potentially reduce gastrointestinal nematodes in ruminants and therefore could act as an anthelmintic agent. Cassava hay is therefore an excellent multi-nutrient source for animals, especially for dairy cattle during the long dry season, and has the potential to increase the productivity and profitability of sustainable livestock production systems in the tropics.
