Graphene has been widely considered a promising candidate for high-quality chemical sensors, owing to its outstanding characteristics, such as sensitive gas adsorption at room temperature, high conductivity, high flexibility, and high transparency. However, the main drawback of a graphene-based gas sensor is the necessity for external heaters due to its slow response, incomplete recovery, and low selectivity at room temperature. Conventional heating devices have limitations such as large volume, thermal safety issues, and high power consumption. Moreover, metal-based heating systems cannot be applied to transparent and flexible devices. Thus, to solve this problem, a method of supplying the thermal energy necessary for gas sensing via the self-heating of graphene by utilizing its high carrier mobility has been studied. Herein, we provide a brief review of recent studies on self-activated graphene-based gas sensors. This review also describes various strategies for the self-activation of graphene sensors and the enhancement of their sensing properties.

개별 대수층에 냉수와 온수를 저장하여 수자원과 냉난방 열원으로 활용하는 방안에 대한 평가를 지열-지하수 부정류 모델링을 통해 수행하였다. 저장 및 회수 가동 시간이 증가함에 따라서 각각의 대수층 내에 온열과 냉열이 축열되는 현상이 확인되었으며, 지하수 유동에 의해 축열된 수체가 지하수 흐름방향으로 이동하는 현상을 확인 하여 지하수 유동이 축열 정도를 결정하는 요인이 될 수 있음을 확인하였다. 설정된 모델에 대하여, 두 개의 개별 대수층 사이의 열 간섭은 거의 없는 것으로 나타났다. 주입과 양수의 가동 횟수가 증가되면, 대수층 축열 효과는 증대되는 것으로 나타났다. 열-지하수 모델링을 통한 온도 예측은 실제 냉난방의 효율성을 결정짓는 수온을 정량적으로 계산할 수 있는 유용한 기술로 평가됨과 더불어, 수자원의 지하 저장을 통해 효율적으로 물을 확보하고 관리할 수 있는 방안이 될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

A novel microwave-induced pyrolysis of polystyrene in motor oil was performed using a quartz tube reactor with silicon carbide as the microwave absorbent. Different pyrolysis conditions were investigated, such as time range from 30 minutes to 1 hour and power range from 180 to 250 watt. The distillate components were analyzed with GC-MS, and styrene, 1-methyl styrene, toluene, ethyl benzene were the four main products. Among these, styrene took over 70 percentages. Temperature of the complete pyrolysis using microwave was much lower than that of conventional thermal pyrolysis method.

The Background and Purpose : Most diagnostic method for the facial palsy were invasive and complex. And we don't know very well prognosis for the recovery of facial palsy in the first stage after the onset. But the Digital Infrared Thermal Image(DITI) isn't invasive and complex diagnostic method for the facial palsy. So we should study on the clinical prognostic diagnosis of Bell's palsy among facial palsy with the DITI. Objective and Methods : This study researched into the clinical statistics for 89 case who are in Bell's palsy, and they are treated with oriental medical care at the Woosuk university during 2 years form November 1998 to October 2000. All objectives have the Grade 6(Zero state) of Bell's palsy in first week after the onset. It takes a patient's facial temperature after the onset. Group A is taken from 1 day to 4 days after the onset. Group B is taken from 5 day to 8 days after the onset. And group C is taken from 9 day to 12 days after the onset. Results and Conclusions : The Digital Infrared thermal image technique showed the more high temperature, the more rapid cure and short treatment period on TE23, B2, S3, S6 in abnormal site of Bell's palsy. But it showed the more low temperature, the more rapid cure and short treatment period on TE17 of abnormal site of Bell's palsy. As a conclusion, we could think that the prognostic diagnosis of Bell's palsy closely related with the thermal difference normal and abnormal site of Bell's palsy that were took picture after the onset.

Post-heat treatment experiments were carried out for complete dimensional stabilization of thermally compressed wood (Pinus koraiensis). An absorption test was carried out to evaluate the dimensional stability. The specific gravity increased from 0.43 to 0.79 by thermal compression at a compression ratio of 50% thickness. Through the post-heat treatment of compressed wood, the water absorption and thickness swelling decreased with increasing the heat treatment temperature and time. In the case of the thickness recovery rate, when the heat treatment was performed for 24 hours at $120^{\circ}C$, $140^{\circ}C$ and $160^{\circ}C$, the thickness recovery was less than 1%. Therefore, it can be confirmed that the method of dimensional stabilization method of the thermal compression wood can be carried out very effectively through post heat treatment process.

In present measurement of moisture contents is used as one of method for estimating degradation of transformer. Most of people use Karl-Fischer titration method for detection moisture contents but this measurement is inconvenient method because we must analyze transformer oil-paper after dismounting transformer and sampling in field. Therefore we don't directly investigate them in field. In this paper we will introduce Recovery Voltage Method(RVM) that is new method for estimating measurement in field though dismounting facility. For measure of moisture contents using RVM in accordance with accelerated thermal aging we have made experimental test cell and aged at a temperature up to 140$^{\circ}C$ for 300 hours. And we have been measured at intervals of 100 hours using RVM 5462 made in fetter company.

Ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems are actively introduced as cooling and heating conditioning systems of buildings due to annual stable performance and easily maintenance. However, ground temperature imbalance is occurred when the GSHP is used for a long period. Therefore, in this study, we proposed the operation method of the system that considered the recovery time of heat source temperature. The entering water temperature (EWT) and heat exchange rate (HER) were comparatively analyzed according to the continuous and intermittent operation. Furthermore, the underground thermal environment was evaluated by numerical analysis model. As the result, the intermittent operation was a maximum of 12.3% higher HER during the heating period than the continuous operation. In addition, the overall ground heat source temperature at the intermittent operation was higher than it at the continuous operation.

The thermal degradation kinetics of SBR and tire were studied using a conventional thermogravimetric analysis in the stream nitrogen at a heating rate of 5, 10, 15, $20^{\circ}C/min$, respectively. Thermogravimetric curves and their derivatives were analyzed using various analytical methods to determine the kinetic parameters. The degradation of the SBR and tire was found to be a complex process which has multi-stages. The Friedman method gave average activation energies for the SBR and tire of 247.53kJ/mol and 230.00kJ/mol, respectively. Mean-while, the Ozawa method Eave 254.80kJ/mol and 215.76kJ/mol. It would appear that either. Friedman's differential method or Ozawa's integral method provided satisfactory mathematical approaches to determine the kinetic parameters for the degradation of the SBR and tire. Approximately 86% and 55% of oil products were obtained at a final temperature of $700^{\circ}C$ and a heating rate of $20^{\circ}C/min$ for the SBR and tire respectively.

For the risk assessment of human exposure to volatile halogenated hydrocarbons, a dynamic purge trap/on-column cryofocusing method using capillary gas chromatograph-$^{63}Ni$ electron capture detector and thermal desorption unit was applied to analyze the free forms, metabolites of 1, 1, 2-trichloroethylene and 1, 1, 2, 2-tetrachloroethylene. The urine sample was diluted with distilled water, hydrolyzed and sealed. Then the inert gas was infused to purge out free 1, 1, 2-trichloroethylene, free 1, 1, 2, 2-tetrachloroethylene and urichloroethanol. These compounds were trapped to $Tenax^R$ / GC-gas trap device throughout clean up tube. Being undertectable to gas chromatograph directly, trichloroacetic acid was methyl esterificated and trapped in the manner above mentioned. The optimal incubation time to get best recovery of methyl ester was 4 hours at $60^circ$C. The concentrations of free volatile halogenated hydrocarbons and their metabolites in urine were obtained of free volatile halogenated hydrocarbons and their metabolites in urine were obtained from 5 healthy volunteers. This analytical method is expected to make the biological monitoring more precise and convenient.

Waste paint, one of the specified wastes in Korea, is currently treated entirely by incineration treatment method, and is hardly recycled compared to other wastes. Incineration treatment method also causes environmental problems such as air pollution. Thus, this study breaks away from the existing incineration treatment method of waste paint and switch to a method of pretreatment operation through evaporation, condensation, and thermal decomposition by temperature control. and then proposes a sustainable waste paint treatment process that can be recycled as an alternative energy heat source. If a new method of disposing of waste paint and technology for recycling are developed and disseminated, it is expected that the effect will be large from an economic and environmental point of view.
