  • This study investigated indoor temperature and humidity control and PM1 and PM10 mitigation effects of a single green wall (Case 1), two green walls (Case 2), and two green walls plus a waterfall (Case 3) in comparison with a control without either a green wall or waterfall. Experiments were conducted in the office of Chungbuk National University from August to September, 2015. Experiments were carried out sequentially in the order of control, Case 1, Case 2, and Case 3. Data collected from August 17 to August 20, 2015 (Experiment 1), and from August 31 to September 3, 2015 (Experiment 2), when outdoor temperature was relatively constant, were analyzed. Plant volume ratios by indoor landscaping of the control, Case 1, Case 2 and Case 3 were 0.0, 0.6, 1.2, and 1.4%, respectively. Compared to the control, average temperatures of Case 1, Case 2 and Case 3 were decreased by 0.3~0.7, 0.7~0.9 and $1.0^{\circ}C$, respectively, and relative humidity was increased by 1.8~8.7, 9.2~14.6 and 14.8~21.9%, respectively. Three hundred minutes after exposure to mosquito repellent incense particles, the ratio of the remaining PM1 of the control, Case 1, Case 2 and Case 3 were 25.0, 22.0%, 21.2%, 17.3%, respectively, in Experiment 1 and 42.3, 28.9, 23.1, and 30.9%, respectively, in Experiment 2. As indoor greening increased the effect of indoor temperature, PM1 and PM10 mitigation were greater, and temperature and humidity were lower. The greater the relative humidity was, the faster PM1 and PM10 mitigation tended to be.

  • Smart sewage treatment plant means creating a safe and clean water environment by establishing an ICT-based real-time monitoring, remote control management and intelligent system for the entire sewage treatment process. The core technology of such a smart sewage treatment plant can be operation control technology using measuring instruments. This research team analyzed and suggested the operation control technologies necessary for the establishment of the intelligent business by referring to the intelligent research projects of the sewage treatment plant in progress in Korea. As a result of the analysis, a total of six removal technologies were presented, including control by scale, reflow water control, linked treated water control, chemical quantity control, winter operation control, and total organic carbon control. By size, standards that can be classified into small and medium-sized large-scale are presented, and in the case of reflow water control, the location of water quality and flow sensors capable of managing reflow water is suggested. In the case of the linked treated water control, the influence and control points of the linked treated water on the sewage treatment plant were presented, and in the case of the chemical injection volume control, a system capable of optimizing the amount of chemical injection according to the introduction of an intelligent sewage treatment plant was presented. In the case of winter operation, the sensors and pumps to be controlled are suggested when considering the decrease in nitrification due to the decrease in water temperature. In the case of total organic carbon control, an interlocking system considering the total amount of pollution in the future was proposed. These operation control scenarios are expected to be used as basic data to be used in intelligent sewage treatment algorithms and scenarios in the future.

  • This paper presents a generalized truncated least, squares adaptive algorithm and a two-stage design method. The proposed algorithm is directly derived from the normal equation of the generalized truncated least squares method (GTLSM). The special case of the GTLSM, the truncated least squares (TLS) adaptive algorithm, has a distinct features which includes the case of minimum steps estimator. This algorithm seemed to be best in the deterministic case. For real applications in the presence of disturbances, the GTLS adaptive algorithm is more effective. The two-stage design method proposed here combines the adaptive control system design with a conventional control design method and each can be treated independently. Using this method, the validity of the presented algorithms are examined by the simulation studies of an indirect adaptive control.

  • When an electronic control system has been used for long time, the electronic control system becomes obsolete and no longer In production. In this case, the existing control system should replace by new system due to shortage of spare modules. However, if the proper number of spare modules are stocked, it may be possible and more economical than to replace by new system to extend the usage period of the existing control system. In this case, it is an important problem to determine the proper number of spare modules. In this paper, a method to determine the proper number of spare modules is presented with an application example.

  • Purpose: In order to lower the infection rate and the reinfection rate of Clonorchiasis in high-risk areas, we performed and analyzed a case management on people with chlonorchisis. Methods: The data was collected from April 2010 to March 2011. A community health practitioner was selected as a case manager based on our training program. The intervention group had 58 participants with three months of case management and the control group had 144 participants handled with traditional methods. Results: the pre and post-test in the intervention group and the control group showed us improved knowledge of Clonorchiasis, attitudes and behavior toward eating freshwater fish. The results of post-test between the intervention group and the control group showed statistically significant differences in all categories, except a hand-washing category. However, one year after a case management, there was no significant difference in the failure rate of treatment. Conclusion: The case management was effective for people infected with Clornorchiasis near riverside areas; however, in order to lower the rates of reinfection and treatment failure, it is necessary to perform continuous monitoring and regular evaluations.

  • Background: The purpose of this study is to identify effects of neuro-muscular control training on vastus medialis oblique (VMO) after menisectomy of the knee. Methods: The subjects of this study are women aged 42 and 39 each who did menisectomy. Case 1 was applied quadriceps setting exercise and neuro-muscular contrlol training and case 2 was applied quadriecps setting. Intervention was done 5 times a week for 2 weeks. Measurement of muscle activity on VMO and vastus lateralis (VL) was standardized signals of each muscle to %RVC using surface EMG. Results: On comparison of exercise before and after on VMO and VL, VL activation of case 2 was increased more than case 1. Conclusion: Quadriecps-setting exercise and selective neuro-muscular control training of VMO is effective intervention on VMO activity and muscle activity ratio of VMO to VL.

  • This study evaluated the habitability of operators for main control room fires in nuclear power plants. Fire modeling (FDS v.6.0) was utilized for a fire safety assessment so that it could determine the performance of the smoke ventilation and operator habitability with the main control room. For this study, it categorized fire scenarios into three cases depending on the conditions in the HVAC system. As a result of fire modelling, it showed that Case 1 (with HVAC) would give rise to the worst situation associated with the absolute temperature, radiative heat flux, optical density, and smoke layer height as deliberating the habitability and smoke ventilation. On the other hand, it showed that Cases 2 (w/o HVAC) and 3 can maintain much safer situations than Case 1. In the case of temperature at 820 s, Cases 2 and 3 were up to approximately 63% greater than Case 1 in the wake of ignition. In addition, the influence of radiative heat flux of Case 1 was even larger than Cases 2 and 3. That is, the radiative heat fluxes of Cases 2 and 3 were approximately 68% higher than Case 1. Furthermore, when it comes to considering the optical density, Case 1 was approximately 93% greater than Cases 2 and 3. Accordingly, it expected that the HVAC system can influence a the performance on the smoke ventilation that can be sustainable for operator habitability. On the other hand, it revealed an inconsecutive pattern for the smoke layer height of Cases 2 and 3 because supply vents and exhaust vents were installed within the same surface.

  • To increase the robustness of tile feedforward tracking control system, a new discrete time sliding function has been defined and utilized for the formulation of control law, In adaptive case the robustness is achieved by using both a normalized gradient algorithm with deadzone and a sliding function-based nonlinear feedback, while in nonadaptive case by using only a sliding function-based nonlinear feedback.
