자연 미생물 분해 (Biodegradation)는 미생물들이 유출 기름 또는 기타 환경 오염물들을 분해시키는 자연 풍화 과정이며 이를 더욱 가속화시키기 위하여 인공적으로 미생물에 필요한 영양분 공급 또는 미생물들을 추가로 파종하는 것을 미생물 분해법 (Bioremediation)이라고 한다 현재 해상 기름 유출 사고 시 기계적 장비를 이용한 제거방법이 널리 사용되고 있으며 기계적 제거 방법의 대안으로서 화학분산제 (Chemical Dispersants) 사용과 현장 소각 (In-situ Burning) 방법이 있다. 또 하나의 대안으로서 이 미생물 분해법이 지적되고 있으며 충분한 시간이 주어질 때 해안으로 유입되는 기름에 대하여 일부 미생물들을 이용하여 유출 기름을 적어도 부분적으로 제거할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 해상 유출 기름 제거를 위한 미생물 분해법의 종류와 기술의 잠재력 그리고 적용 시 고려하여야 할 문제점들을 분석하여 발생 가능한 피해를 최소화시키는데 필요한 정보들을 정리하였다.

In this paper, the recirculation flow motion and mixing characteristics driven by air bubble flow in a rectangular water tank is studied. The Time-resolved PIV technique is adopted for the quantitative visualization and analysis. 532 nm Diode CW laser is used for illumination and orange fluorescent particle images are acquired by a PCO 10bit high-speed camera. To obtain clean particle images, 545 nm long pass optical filter and an image intensifier are employed and the flow rates of compressed air is changed from 2 l/min to 4 l/min at 0.5 MPa. The recirculation and mixing flow field is further investigated by the POD analysis technique. It is observed that the large scale counterclockwise rotation and main vortex is generated in the upper half depth from the free surface and one quarter width from the sidewall. When the flow rates are increased, the main vortex core is moved to the side and bottom wall direction.

In this paper, the recirculation flow motion and mixing characteristics driven by air bubble stream in a rectangular water tank is studied. The time-resolved PIV technique is adopted for the quantitative visualization and analysis. 488 nm Ar-ion CW laser is used for illumination and orange fluorescent ($\lambda_{ex}=540nm,\;\lambda_{em}=560nm$) particle images are acquired by a PCO 10bit high-speed CCD camera (1280$\times$1024). To obtain clean particle images, 545 nm long pass optical filter and an image intensifier are employed and the flow rates of compressed air is 3 l/min at 0.5 MPa. The recirculation and mixing flow field is further investigated by time-resolved POD analysis technique. It is observed that the large scale recirculation resulting from the interaction between rising bubble stream and side wall is the most dominant flow structure and there are small scale vortex structures moving along with large scale recirculation flow. It is also verified that the sum of 20 modes of velocity field has about 67.4% of total turbulent energy.

석탄 연소 시 발생하는 회가 보일러 벽면에 부착되어 일어나는 슬래깅 현상은 보일러의 열효율을 감소시키고 보일러 안정성에도 악영향을 준다. 이러한 슬래그의 유동 특성은 회의 용융 특성과 관련이 있는데 이는 회의 화학적 조성에 영향을 받는다. 본 연구에서는 회의 용융특성을 TMA(Thermo-Mechanical Analysis) 장비를 이용하여 분석하였다. 이 테스트는 회의 수축률에 따른 용융온도(T25%, T50%, T75%, T90%)를 정량적으로 측정 하는 방법이다. TMA에서 측정된 각각의 온도는 용융단계별 특성을 나타낸다. TMA로 분석된 결과 값에 XRF 장비를 이용하여 분석한 회의 성분 조성이 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 회에 포함된 성분 중 refractory, fluxing contents가 회분의 용융온도에 미치는 영향을 확인할 수 있었다. Refractory contents 성분인 $SiO_2$, $Al_2O_3$의 함량이 많을수록 전체적인 용융온도가 올라가며 $SiO_2/Al_2O_3$가 커질수록 고온에서의 용융온도인 T75%, T90%가 낮아지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이와 달리 fluxing contents 성분인 $Fe_2O_3$, $K_2O$, CaO의 함량이 많아질수록 전체적인 용융온도가 낮아지며 이중 $K_2O$, CaO는 초기 용융 온도인 T25%를 낮추는데 큰 역할을 하는 것으로 판단되었다. TMA 분석과 회의 조성 비교를 통하여 회의 용융 특성을 예측하고 설명할 수 있었다.

최근 디스플레이 대형화 및 유연화로 인한 기존 ITO (indium tin oxide) 기반 TSP (touch screen panel)의 구현에 한계로 인한 대체 소재에 대한 다양한 연구가 진행 중이다. 기존 기술의 대체 소재로 메탈메쉬(Metal mesh) 방식에 대한 연구가 진행되고 상용화 수준까지 진행되었다. 그러나 시인성 및 모아레(Moire) 현상으로 인하여 $5{\mu}m$ 이하의 미세 전극 패턴이 필요하나 공정 중 패턴이 탈락하는 등의 문제로 낮은 수율의 문제가 있다. 기존의 레이저 CVD 리페어 공정에서 $10{\mu}m$ 이하의 패턴 형성의 한계, 위성액적 등의 문제로 인해 안정적인 미세전극 패턴 형성에는 어려움이 있었다. 본 연구에서는 $5{\mu}m$ 이하의 안정적인 패턴 형성을 위해서 다양한 점도에서 미세액적 토출이 가능한 전기수력학 프린팅 기술을 적용하였다. $5{\mu}m$ 이하의 안정적인 미세 전극 패턴 형성을 위해 주요 변수의 변화에 따른 최적 공정 조건을 도출하였고 최적 공정 조건을 입력하여 리페어 공정 적용 가능성을 확인하였다.

The use of dolomite refractories has increased during the past several years in the manufacturing of clean steel during the stainless steelmaking process. However, at the same time, the use of dolomite refractories has led to what is known as the skull formation. In the present work, to understand the skull formation, the wetting characteristics of dolomite substrates by liquid Fe-19wt%Cr-10wt%Ni alloys in various oxygen partial pressures were initially investigated at 1753K using the sessile drop technique. For comparison, the wetting characteristics of alumina substrates were investigated with the same technique. It was found that the wetting index, (1+$cos{\theta}$), of dolomite is approximately 40% higher compared to those of alumina. In addition, the oxygen partial pressure to generate the surface oxide, which may capture the liquid metal on the refractory surface, for dolomite is much lower than that for alumina. From this study, it was concluded that the use of dolomite is much more closely associated with the skull formation compared to the use of alumina due to the stronger wettability and the surface oxide formation at a lower oxygen partial pressure of dolomite.

Zinc (Zn) is an essential element required for growth and development of plants. However, Zn can be toxic to plants when it presents excessive amount. Phytoextraction is an economic and environment-friendly technique using plants to clean-up metal-contaminated soils. However, the technique cannot be applied in highly metal-contaminated areas because plants will not normally grow in such conditions. Therefore, this research focuses on identifying chelating agents which are biodegradable and applicable to highly metalcontaminated areas. Zn as a target metal and cysteine (Cys), histidine (His), malate, citrate oxalate, succinate, and ethylenediamine (EDA) as biodegradable chelating agents were selected. Plants were grown on agar media containing various chelating agents with Zn to analyze the effect on plant growth. Malate and His slightly increased the inhibitory effect of Zn on root growth of plants, whereas Cys, citrate, oxalate, and succinate did not show significant effects. However, EDA strongly diminished the inhibitory effect of Zn on root growth. The effect of EDA is correlated with decreased Zn uptake into the plants. In conclusion, as biodegradable chelating agents, EDA is a good candidate for growth of plants in highly Zn-contaminated areas.

Electronic cleansing is an image post processing technique in which the tagged colonic content is subtracted from colon using CTC images. There are post processing artefacts, like: 1) soft tissue degradation; 2) incomplete cleansing; 3) misclassification of polyp due to pseudo enhanced voxels; and 4) pseudo soft tissue structures. The objective of the study was to subtract the tagged colonic content without losing the soft tissue structures. This paper proposes a novel adaptive method to solve the first three problems using a multi-step algorithm. It uses a new edge model-based method which involves colon segmentation, priori information of Hounsfield units (HU) of different colonic contents at specific tube voltages, subtracting the tagging materials, restoring the soft tissue structures based on selective HU, removing boundary between air-contrast, and applying a filter to clean minute particles due to improperly tagged endoluminal fluids which appear as noise. The main finding of the study was submerged soft tissue structures were absolutely preserved and the pseudo enhanced intensities were corrected without any artifact. The method was implemented with multithreading for parallel processing in a high performance computer. The technique was applied on a fecal tagged dataset (30 patients) where the tagging agent was not completely removed from colon. The results were then qualitatively validated by radiologists for any image processing artifacts.

This paper presents the energy harvesting technique which is carried out by vibration system with a piezoelectric element. In this study, low frequency characteristics of the piezoelectric element bonded to the aluminum cantilever were experimentally investigated. The piezoelectric element of size of $45L{\times}11W{\times}0.6H$ and piezoelectric constant($d_{31}$ ) of $-180{\times}10^{-12}C/N$ was used. The material of cantilever is an aluminum and two kinds of cantilever of which dimensions are (150, 190)$[mm]{\times}13[mm]{\times}1.5[mm]$ were experimented, respectively. The cantilever was fixed on the magnetic type vibrator and the vibrator was operated by power input with a sine wave. The characteristics of requency and mass variation of cantilever end part such as 0, 2.22, 4.34, 5.87, 8.66, 11.01 [g] were investigated. Finally, this paper suggests a method of generating electrical energy with a piezoelectric element using wind, an energy source that is easily applied and from which we can obtain "clean" energy.
