현재 울산국가산업단지에는 생산량의 증대와 이송의 편의를 위해 막대한 규모의 지하매설배관이 설치되어 있다. 현재 울산국가산업단지에는 62개 사에 총 1,293km의 지하배관이 설치되어 있으며, 이 중에서 상당수는 사업장 외부에 설치되어 있다. 최근 3년간 울산국가산업단지에서는 5건의 누출사고가 발생하였으며, 대응시간은 평균 8시간 이상 걸렸다. 이러한 사고대응의 지체는 심각한 2차 사고로 이어질 수 있으며, 이는 지역주민들에게 큰 위험을 줄 수도 있다. 본 연구에서는 지하매설배관에 긴급차단장치를 설치하는 경우 사고영향평가를 통해 얼마나 누출사고의 영향이 경감되는지 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 통해 긴급차단장치 설치가 지하매설배관의 누출사고의 피해를 줄이는 데 큰 역할을 할 수 있음을 검증하였다. 향후, 지하매설배관의 안전성 향상을 위해 시급히 긴급차단장치의 설치를 입법화하고 실행되어야 할 것이다.

The physical treatment such as chemical precipitation or adsorption was usually added after biological treatment in wastewater treatment process since it was enforced to reduce the concentration of phosphate for wastewater effluent to 0.2 mg/L as P which was well known as one of main nutrient causing eutrophication in waterbody. Therefore, the new material functioned for both adsorption and disinfection was prepared with Fe and Cu, and $TiO_2$, respectively, by changing the ratio of concentration referred to tri-metal (TM). According to SEM-EDS, $TiO_2$ was 30~40% composition for any TM regardless of any synthesis condition. However, the ratio of composition for Fe and Cu was dependent on the initial Fe and Cu concentration, respectively. The removal efficiency of phosphate was obtained to 15% at low initial concentration and the maximum uptake (Q) was calculated to ~11 mg/g through Langmuir isotherm model using TM1 which was synthesized at 1000 mg/L, 1000 mg/L, and 2 g (10 g/L) for $Fe(NO_3)_3$, $Cu(NO_3)_2$, $TiO_2$, respectively. In disinfection test, the efficiency of virus removal using TM was increased with increase of dosage of TM and can be reached 98% at 0.2 g.

Background: Panax ginseng, as one of the most widely used herbal medicines worldwide, has been studied comprehensively in terms of the chemical components and pharmacology. The proteins from ginseng are also of great importance for both nutrition value and the mechanism of secondary metabolites. However, the proteomic studies are less reported in the absence of the genome information. With the completion of ginseng genome sequencing, the proteome profiling has become available for the functional study of ginseng protein components. Methods: We optimized the protein extraction process systematically by using SDS-PAGE and one-dimensional liquid chromatography mass spectrometry. The extracted proteins were then analyzed by two-dimensional chromatography separation and cutting-edge mass spectrometry technique. Results: A total of 2,732 and 3,608 proteins were identified from ginseng root and cauline leaf, respectively, which was the largest data set reported so far. Only around 50% protein overlapped between the cauline leaf and root tissue parts because of the function assignment for plant growing. Further gene ontology and KEGG pathway revealed the distinguish difference between ginseng root and leaf, which accounts for the photosynthesis and metabolic process. With in-deep analysis of functional proteins related to ginsenoside synthesis, we interestingly found the cytochrome P450 and UDP-glycosyltransferase expression extensively in cauline leaf but not in the root, indicating that the post glucoside synthesis of ginsenosides might be carried out when growing and then transported to the root at withering. Conclusion: The systematically proteome analysis of Panax ginseng will provide us comprehensive understanding of ginsenoside synthesis and guidance for artificial cultivation.

The ball valve is an important device in the pipeline transportation system of nuclear power plants. Its operational stability and safety directly affect the normal working of nuclear power plants. In this study, the transient numerical simulation of the opening and closing process of a ball valve was conducted on the basis of the flow interruption capability experiment of the ball valve by using the moving mesh method and inlet and outlet variable boundary conditions. The flow rate and pressure difference with time of the opening and closing process of the ball valve were studied. The internal flow characteristics of the ball valve under different relative openings were analyzed in conjunction with the typical back-step flow structure. Results show that the transient numerical results agree well with the experimental results. The internal flow characteristics of the ball valve are similar at the same opening during opening and closing process. At small opening, the spool and outlet channels easily form a back-step flow structure. The disappearance and generation of backflow vortices during opening and closing occur at 85% opening and 75% opening, respectively. With the decrease in opening degree, the difference in vortex core area in the flow channel of the ball valve spool in the opening and closing process gradually appears. The research results provide some reference value for the design and optimization of ball valves.

This paper actually investigates the load on major large-scale buildings in the downtown area, examines the economic feasibility of installing PV and ESS in a microgrid target building, and evaluates whether an electric vehicle capable of V2G through two buildings is effective as an economical analysis program (HOMER) was analyzed using. It is economical to install a mixture of ESS rather than using the whole PV, and it is shown that if there is an electric vehicle using the V2G function of EV, there is an economic effect to replace the PV. So that Incentives and policies are needed to replace a large area of PV and utilize the existing parking lot to lead EV as a resource of the microgrid. Currently, P2X technology that stores power as ESS or converts it to other energy to control when surplus renewable energy occurs in large-capacity solar power plants and wind farms, etc. This is being applied, and efforts are being made to maintain the stability of the system through the management of surplus power, such as replacing thermal energy through a heat pump. Due to the increase in electric vehicles, which were recognized only as a means of transportation, technologies for using electric vehicles are developing. Accordingly, existing gas stations do not only supply traditional chemical fuels, but electricity, and super stations that also produce electricity have appeared. Super Station is a new concept power plant that can produce and store electricity using solar power, ESS, V2G, and P2G. To take advantage of this, research on an urban microgrid that forms an independent system by tying a large building and several buildings together and supplies power through a super station around the microgrid is in full swing.

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of dietary supplementation of Eucommia ulmoides leaf extract (ELE) on muscle metabolism and meat quality of pigs with and without pre-slaughter transportation. Methods: In a 43-day feeding experiment, a total of 160 pigs with an initial body weight 60.00±2.00 kg were randomly assigned into four groups in a completely randomized design with 10 replicates. Pigs in groups A and C were fed a basal diet and pigs in groups B and D were fed a basal diet supplemented with 0.5% ELE. Pigs were slaughtered with (group B and D) or without (group A and C) pre-slaughter transport. Muscle chemical composition, postmortem glycolysis, meat quality and muscle metabolome were analyzed. Results: Dietary ELE supplementation had no effect on the proximate composition of porcine muscle, but increased free phenylalanine, proline, citruline, norvaline, and the total free amino acids in muscle. In addition, dietary ELE increased decanoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid, but decreased heptadecanoic acid, oleic acid, trans-oleic acid, and monounsaturated fatty acids in muscle. Meat quality measurement demonstrated that ELE improved meat water holding capacity and eliminated the negative effects of pre-slaughter transport on meat cooking yield and tenderness. Dietary ELE reduced muscle glycolytic potential, inhibited glycolysis and muscle pH decline in the postmortem conversion of muscle to meat and increased the activity of citrate synthase in muscle. Metabolomics analysis by liquid chromatographic tandem mass spectrometric showed that ELE enhanced muscle energy level, regulated AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling, modulated glycogenolysis/glycolysis, and altered the metabolism of carbohydrate, fatty acids, ketone bodies, amino acids, purine, and pyrimidine. Conclusion: Dietary ELE improved meat quality and alleviated the negative effect of pre-slaughter transport on meat quality by enhancing muscle oxidative metabolism capacity and inhibiting glycolysis in postmortem muscle, which is probably involved its regulation of AMPK.

오염물질로 오염된 퇴적점토의 강도, 변형 및 투수특성 변화를 파악하기 위하여 NaCl 수용액과 매립장 침출수를 시료의 간극수(포화수)로 교체하여 삼축압축시험과 압밀시험을 수행하였다. 또한, 채취된 점토시료의 화학적 특성을 규명하기 위하여 주사전자현미경(SEM) 관찰과 에너지분산분광(EDX) 분석이 수반된다. 화학성분 분석결과 O, C, Si, Al, Fe 크기 순의 구성비가 얻어졌으며, 삼축압축시험 및 압밀시험결과는 NaCl의 농도가 증가할수록 극한응력(강도)은 증가하고 압축성과 투수성이 커지는 경향을 보이는데, 이는 전해질의 농도가 증가할수록 확산이중층(DDL)의 두께가 감소되어 면모화되기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 점토 차수재를 투과한 침출수가 지하수 오염에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위하여 MT3D 해석모델이 이용되었으며, 지하수 오염거동 해석결과 초기 염소이온 농도가 클수록 측정농도도 커지며, 시간경과에 따라 지하수 오염농도는 비선형적으로 증가되었다. 지하수 오염농도 감쇄 관계식을 유도하여 지하수 오염 이동거리를 예측한 결과, 초기농도가 클수록 지하수 오염 이동거리도 크게 나타났다.

The purpose of this study was to develop the $PM_{2.5}$ source profiles for diesel and gasoline-powered vehicles, which contained mass abundances in terms of mass fraction of $PM_{2.5}$ of chemical species. Seven diesel-powered vehicles and nine gasoline-powered vehicles were sampled from a chassis dynamometer exhaust dilution system. The species measured were water-soluble ions, elements, elemental carbon (EC), and organic carbon (OC). From this study, the large abundances of EC (54.5%), OC (26.0%), ${SO_4}^{2-}$ (1.5%), ${NO_3}^-$ (0.8%), and S (0.6%) were observed from the diesel-powered vehicle exhaust showing that carbons were dominant species. The gasoline-powered vehicle exhaust emitted large abundances of OC (38.3%), EC (4.2%), ${SO_4}^{2-}$ (3.6%), ${NH_4}^+$ (3.5%), and ${NO_3}^-$ (3.0%). The abundances of ${SO_4}^{2-}$, ${NH_4}^+$, and ${NO_3}^-$ from gasoline vehicle were greater than those of diesel vehicle. The emissions of P, S, Ca, Fe, and Zn among trace elements for the gasoline vehicle were greater than 1% of the $PM_{2.5}$ mass unlike those for the diesel vehicle. Particularly, the fraction of Zn was five times higher from the gasoline vehicle than that from the diesel vehicle. The source profiles developed in this work were intensively examined by applying chemical mass balance model.

환경에 관련된 인식이 급격하게 변화되는 현재의 흐름에 따라 도로포장부문에서 별다른 주목을 받지 못하던 재생아스팔트포장에 관한 실제 성능 및 적용성을 알아보고자 실내실험, 현장 시공 및 공용성능에 대한 추적조사를 실시하였습니다. 문헌고찰을 통하여 재생아스팔트포장의 현장적용에 대한 정보를 수집하였고 실제 생산현장과 접촉하여 시료를 획득하여 배합설계와 현장시공을 2차례에 걸쳐 실시하였습니다. 배합설계(실내실험)에서는 재생골재의 세립분 및 골재파쇄로 인해 배합설계에 시간소모가 많았으며 목표입도를 맞추는데 어려움이 있었으나, 공용성능 추적조사에서는 시험시공구간의 균열이 시공후 5-6년 이후에도 발견되지 않았고 기타 포장파손도 발견되지 않아 양호한 상태를 나타내고 있었습니다. 또한, DSR을 이용한 재생바인더에 대한 피로시험결과, 일반적으로 선택되고 있는 재생골재 투입비율 30%에서 바인더의 피로수명이 베이스 아스팔트에 비하여 약 30~40%정도 감소하는 것으로 나타났습니다. 결론적으로 재생아스팔트포장의 취약점으로 알려진 균열문제는 충분한 품질관리를 통하여 극복될 수 있으며 이 품질관리에는 적절한 바인더 선택이 매우 중요할 것으로 판단됩니다. 재생아스팔트포장은 일반아스팔트포장과 비교하여 품질에 큰 차이는 없으며 재생골재의 투입비율과 바인더 선택을 적절히 하는 경우에는 국가적으로 이산화탄소 발생 억제를 통한 환경보호와 비용절감을 동시에 이룰 수 있을 것으로 보입니다.

가연성 물질의 다양한 연소 특성 때문에 이들 물질의 안전한 사용, 취급 및 운송을 위해서는 정확한 물질 안전정보가 필수적이다. 인화점, 연소점, 폭발한계 및 최소자연발화온도(AIT)는 위험한 물질을 취급하는 화학산업과 실험실 등에서 특별한 관심을 필요로 하는 중요한 안전 매개변수이다. 본 연구에서는 화학산업에 중간제로 널리 사용되고 있는 tert-butylbenzene을 선정하였다. tert-Butylbenzene 연소특성치의 신뢰도를 고찰하기 위해서 인화점, 연소점, 최소발화온도를 측정하였고, 폭발한계는 측정된 인화점을 이용하여 계산하였다. Setaflash와 Pensky-Martens 밀폐식 장치에 의한 tert-butylbenzene의 하부인화점은 $39^{\circ}C$와 $44^{\circ}C$로 측정되었으며, Tag와 Cleveland 개방식에서는 $51^{\circ}C$와 $54^{\circ}C$로 측정되었다. 그리고 Tag와 Cleveland에 의한 연소점은 $54^{\circ}C$와 $58^{\circ}C$로 측정되었다. ASTM E659 장치를 사용하여 tert-butylbenzene 의 자연발화온도와 발화지연시간을 측정하였고, 그 결과 tert-butylbenzene의 최소자연발화온도(AIT)는 $450^{\circ}C$로 측정되었다. 또한 Setaflash에 의해 측정된 하부인화점 $39^{\circ}C$를 이용한 결과 폭발하한계는 0.68 vol%로 계산되었다.
