An experimental work was conducted to develop an optimum operating system of various hay drying systems ; sun-drying with long hay, sun-drying after chopping, sun-drying after crushing, heated air drying after chopping using batch-type dryer and heated air drying after crushing using tunnel-type dryer. Seombody having 60 cm long and initial moisture content of approximately 79 % in wet basis was used for the experiment. The criteria selected for determining the optimum operating condition were the drying performance rate, the production cost and quality of dried matter of each drying systems. The result of this study are summarized as follows : 1. Drying characteristics of leaves of long stem hay, chopped seombody and crushed one were obtained by maintaining the oven temperature at 70 degrees centigrade. The required drying times for various samples to approximately 15% moisture content in wet basis were about 50 min .for leaves ; 160 min. for crushed hay ; 250 min. for chopped hay ; 340min. for ling hay and more than 360 min .for stems. The drying time of crushed hay was required about 50 % of that for the uncrushed long hay. Such a significant difference of drying of time between the leaf and long stem may indicate that an effective drying of seombody may not be achieved unless any kind of special process treatment for the whole hay is undertaken. 2. In each individual drying system, the following conclusions were drawn: a. After 8 days sun-drying on concrete floor under good days with average tempe\ulcornerrature at $256{\circ}C$ and relative humidity at 55% at 2 P.M., the moisture content of long hay was still above 25 5'~ and the leaf loss during drying caused by wind and rough handling was more than 50 ~G. b. It was possible to dry the chopped seombody by sun-drying down to about 10 % moisture content within 5 days, however, a stock of heat and discolouration phenomena were observed during the drying, which may be due to the increased deposit-density by chopping, resulting in lowering the quality of the dried product. c. Sun-drying for the crushed material by hay-conditioner was required about 4 days to reduce the moisture content to about 10 %, keeping the quality of dried product at good grade. o. The optimum deposit-depth of the chopped seombody in the batch-type dryer used was about 28cm with about 42kg/hr of drying performance rate. However, it was necessary to overturn the materials between the upper and lower layers in order to obtain a good quality of dried product. d. The drying performance rate by the tunnel-type drier was highest among those of drying systems tested, giving the rate of approximately 400kg/day. 3. On reviewing the individual drying system for seombody, it was possible to draw conclusion that the best system was tunnel drying with the crushed seombody as far as the performance rate was concerned. However, the methods gives the highest operational cost. The system for the lowest operational cost with good quality of dried product was the sun-drying with the crushed material. Accordingly, it may be recommended that the system of sun-drying for the crushed seombody may be the most feasible system presently applicable to farm-level operation.

To appropriately control or compensate breathing motion of targets in thorax or abdomen during radiotherapy is still demanding. Our idea is that a visual signal may help regulate patient's breathing pattern, by controlling its amplitude and cycle. The system involving breathing control with a visual signal for aperture maneuver with controlled breath (AMC) has been developed. A thermocouple is used to detect the temperature change due to patient's breathing. The system also consists of a mask, in which the thermocouple is installed, an operational amplifier, a converter, etc. Patients were instructed to control their respiration by breathing following the visuals signal, as watching a display that shows both patients' current breathing pattern and the signal. The patterns of patients' controlled breathing and the signals coincided well. Therefore, when AMC technique is applied, a target moves in the range that is 60 % less than the range of free breathing motion with the help of the system and so target margins can be reduced significantly. This study reveals that a visual signal is not only useful to control patient's breathing but also clinically effective.

The quality of water released from a stratified reservoir is dependent on various factors such as the location and shape of intake facility, structure of reservoir stratification, profile of water quality constituent, and withdrawal flux. Sometimes, selective withdrawal capabilities can provide the operational flexibility to meet the water quality demands both in-reservoir and downstream. The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of a one-dimensional reservoir selective withdrawal model (SELECT) as a tool for supporting downstream water quality management for Daecheong and Imha reservoirs. The simulated water quality variables including water temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), conductivity, turbidity were compared with the field data measured in tailwater. The model showed fairly satisfactory results and high reliability in simulating observations. The coefficients of determinant between simulated and observed turbidity values were 0.93 and 0.95 for Daecheong and Imha reservoirs, respectively. The outflow water quality was significantly influenced by water intake level under fully stratified condition, while the effect of intake amount was minor. In conclusion, the SELECT is simple but effective tool for supporting downstream water quality prediction and management for both reservoirs.

The present work evaluated the production of biohydrogen under mesophilic and thermophilic conditions through dark fermentation of palm oil mill effluent (POME) in batch mode using the design of experiment methodology. Response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to investigate the influence of the two significant parameters, POME concentration as substrate (5, 12.5, and 20 g/l), and volumetric substrate to inoculum ratio (1:1, 1:1.5, and 1:2, v/v.%), with inoculum concentration of 14.3 g VSS/l. All the experiments were analyzed at 37 ℃ and 55 ℃ at an incubation time of 24 h. The highest chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal, hydrogen content (H₂%), and hydrogen yield (HY) at a substrate concentration of 12.5 g COD/l and S:I ratio of 1:1.5 in mesophilic and thermophilic conditions were obtained (27.3, 24.2%), (57.92, 66.24%), and (6.43, 12.27 ml H₂/g COD_rem), respectively. The results show that thermophilic temperature in terms of COD removal was more effective for higher COD concentrations than for lower concentrations. Optimum parameters projected by RSM with S:I ratio of 1:1.6 and POME concentration of 14.3 g COD/l showed higher results in both temperatures. It is recognized how RSM and optimization processes can predict and affect the process performance under different operational conditions.

콤포스팅은 유기성 오염물질로 오염된 토양을 정화하는데에 있어 매우 효과적이며, 환경친화적인 기술이다. 비용면에 있어서도 다른 처리기술들에 비하여 매우 저렴하다. 콤포스팅 공법은 교반식 퇴비단 공법, 공기주입식 퇴비단 공법 그리고 기계식 공법으로 대별된다. 콤포스팅 기술은 공기공급, 온도 및 수분함량 조절, 영양물질 공급, 공극개량제 첨가, 미생물 식종 등에 대하여 세밀히 검토 후 적용하여야 한다. 토양내 산소농도는 5~15%가 적당하지만 일부 화합물의 경우에는 2~5%의 농도에서도 분해가 잘 된다. 온도는 중온이 적용된 사례가 더 많았다. 수분함량은 토양수분보유능력의 50~90% 정도이면 큰 문제가 없는 수준이다. 미생물화학식($C_{60}H_{87}O_{23}N_{12}P$)에 의하여 계산된 C : N : P의 비는 약 20 : 5 : 1이다. 그러나 미생물에 의하여 분해되는 탄소가 모두 세포합성에 이용되는 것이 아니므로 영양물질 첨가는 첨가제의 특성을 잘 파악한 후 결정하여야 한다. 일반적으로 초기 C/N비가 25~40 정도이면 적당하다. 특정미생물 식종첨가의 필요성은 아직 확실한 결론이 나지 않았으며, 시판되는 미생물을 첨가하는 것보다 처리된 토양이나 퇴비 등을 재순환하는 것이 비용경제적이다.

중${\cdot}$저준위 고체폐기물의 유리고화처리 적용연구를 위하여, 현대모비스는 원자력환경기술원 및 프랑스 SGN사와 공동으로 99년 10월에 유리화 실증설비를 건설한 바 있다. 실증설비를 활용하여 모의핵종(Co, Cs)을 포함한 비방사성 이온교환수지, 잡고체 등에 대한 70여 회 이상의 실증시험 수행을 통하여, 대상폐기물을 안전하고 효과적으로 처리할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 그러나 처리공정 중 고온세라믹필터계통(High Temperature Filter : HTF)에서 발생하는 분진의 처리가 문제점으로 도출되었다. 또한 저온용융로(Cold Crucible Melter : CCM)와 HTF를 연결하는 냉각파이프는 장기간 운전시 CCM으로부터 발생한 분진이 침적되어 배관막힘의 우려가 있다. 이와 관련, 기 개발한 유리화공정에 추가하여 HTF에서 발생한 분진을 재순환하는 장치와 냉각파이프 내 침적분진을 제거하는 장치를 개발하였다. 유리화공정 중 HTF에서 발생하는 분진의 처리는 유리화설비의 감용비, 처분비용 및 유리용탕의 조절 측면에서 특히 중요하다. 분진재순환장치(Dust Recycling System : DRS)의 개념은, HTF 하단부에서 발생분진을 수거, 물과 섞어 슬러리 형태로 제조, 이송하여 CCM 내로 다시 투입함으로써 분진을 처리할 수 있도록 하였다. DRS의 주 기능은 분진 내의 모의핵종 및 주요 유리성분을 다시 CCM으로 재순환 처리하는 것이며, 이에 따라 유리용탕의 성분을 일정하게 유지하고 또한 유리배출을 용이하게 하는 데 기여한다. 또한 시멘트 고화설비 등과 같은 별도의 분진처리설비를 고려할 필요가 없다. 제진장치는 주기적으로 운전 중 가동할 경우, 냉각파이프 내의 분진침적에 의한 막힘 방지와 함께 배관 내 침적된 분진을 CCM 내로 다시 처리하는 효과를 기대할 수 있다. 유리화실증시험을 통하여 DRS와 제진장치에 대한 전체적인 성능평가를 성공적으로 수행하였으며, 운전결과 및 경험은 향후 상용설비를 위한 기본자료로 활용할 것이다.

Background : Strategic planning is an organizationwide or systemwide, ongoing look into the future usually of 2~3 years, based on objective analysis of the current environment and trends, but it can incorporate both short-term and long-term goals. The strategic planning process includes external analysis, internal analysis, issue analysis, development of mission, vision and values, and lastly development of organizational goals and objectives. As a part of the strategic quality planning process, certain service lines, important organizationwide functions, or key processes supporting these functions can be prioritized to expedite and roll out certain strategic goals. This is called strategic quality initiatives. Methods : We organized a quality improvement team, a subgroup of 21st century vision planning corps of our medical center, and pursued QI activities for improvement of healthcare environment, particularly in the admission setting. We developed a strategic quality initiative based on the results of patient satisfaction surveys, and carried out functions of self-directed work team. Results : The strategic goal was to be the benchmark for peer group hospitals in Korea for providing cost-effective best-practice. The QI team included 3 medical doctors, 1 nurse, 1 social worker, and 1 QI consultant as well as many operational members to support services and quality initiatives met every Tuesday for 18 weeks. Outcome objectives were to improve patient satisfaction score. The issues included in the objectives were comfort, temperature, noise, cleanliness of the admission wards, quality and education of patient meals, matters regarding the admission process, and an appurtenant facility such as restaurant or convenience store. Every issue was discussed and recommendations, conclusions and opportunities were implemented. Conclusions : By developing a strategic quality initiative as a part of the strategic quality planning process, and pursuing a self-directed work team, certain sen/ice lines, important organizationwide functions, or key processes supporting these functions can be improved effectively within a short period. Strategic quality initiatives serve to support, or roll out, certain strategic goals that are relevant to performance improvement and development of specific measurable outcome objectives, and associated performance measure for each initiative. Each strategic quality initiative should include a statement of intent outcome objectives, and performance measures. We will come back with follow up of the strategic quality initiative, for improvement of healthcare environment, and results of patient satisfaction re-survey.

극저준위 방사성액체폐기물 처리를 위하여 공기의 온도와 습도 및 유입 공기의 속도에 따른 증발량의 관계를 천을 이용한 강제증발실험 장치로 실험하였다. 그 결과 각각의 변수와 증발량의 상관관계를 실험식으로 도출하였다. 또한 Cs-137 을 함유한 모의폐액을 사용하여 본 장치에 대한 제염 계수를 얻은 결과 $DF=10^4$으로 나타났다. TRlGA Mark II & III 연구용 원자로 폐로시 발생되는 극저준위 방사성액체폐기물을 증발장치로 처리할 때 주변의 일반개인에 대한 연간 피폭선량을 보수적으로 평가한 결과, 유효선량 (effective dose)은 $1.01{\times}10^{-3}mSv$이고, 환경으로 배출되는 공기의 방사능 농도(Cs-137)는 $4.637{\times}10^{-14}\;{\mu}Ci/cc$ air 이다. 따라서 극저준위 방사성액체폐기물의 처리를 위하여 강제증발장치를 사용하는 것은 주민에 아무런 영향이 없음을 알 수 있었다.

Objectives : To research the trend of studies related to rheumatoid arthritis and to indicate the hereafter direction for its study in oriental medicine and its treatment. Methods : I reviewed 75 domestic oriental medical journals, and 50 medical journals about rheumatoid arthritis published after 2004, and comparative analysis was made. And these theses were classified by college, year, field of study, subject. Results : The following are the results of this study. 1. Classified by oriental medical college, Dae-jeon college published the most theses, followed by Dong-guk, Kyung-hee, Se-myung and Dong-shin college. Han-yang college published the most theses among college of medicine. 2. Classified by type of thesis, experimental theses(70 pieces, 94%) showed higher rate than that of clinical theses(4 pieces, 5%) in oriental medical studies. However, in medical studies, clinical theses(34 pieces, 68%) showed higher rate than that of experimental theses(15 pieces, 30%). 3. Analyzed by subject, the most dealt subject in oriental medicine was herb medication, followed by herbal acupuncture, single herb, electroacupuncture, sasang & gene, acupuncture & moxibustion, complex accordingly. The most dealt subject in medical clinical journals was standards of diagnosis & prognosis, followed by medication, gene analysis, pathogenesis, clinical pattern, operative treatment and complication accordingly. 4. In theses related to herb medication, most of the subject was to evaluate anti-inflammatory and immunoregulatory effects of herb medication with geopungseup, jibitong, hwalhyeolgeoer function. The tendency of experimental methods was focusing on understanding anti-inflammatory and immunoregulatory mechanisms through molecular biologic methods by analyzing cytokine and gene. 5. Most of theses related to herbal acupuncture were experimental studies verifying ant-inflammatory and immnoregulatory effects through methods observing change of cytokine and immunoregulatory factors. Regarding remedies for herbal acupuncture, Ulmus davidiana Planch was most preferred, followed by bee venom. 6. In theses related to single herb, Boik-yak was most prefered, followed by Geopungseup-yak and Hwalhyeolgeoer-yak. Regarding methods of research, there were tendency of shifting from methods verifying travail, anti-inflammatory and anti-pyretic effects through a test of behavior, morphometry, serology and temperature measurement of the rectum and the skin into verifying anti-inflammatory and immunoregulatory effects through observing inflammatory cytokine in the joint and cells of spleen. 7. In theses related to electroacupuncture, ST36 and adjuvant were most preferred as acupoints and induced factor. The tendency of experimental methods was turning from verifying mechanism of travail effect to analyzing inflammation and pain inducing factors. 8. Diverse medical clinical studies were published. Subjects such as diagnosis and prognosis, medication, gene analysis, clinical pattern, operational treatment, complication and pathogenesis were published. Especially, studies about standards of early diagnosis, and research on possible parallel medications with methotrexate were actively inquired. 9. Most of theses related to medical experimental studies was about mediators and receptors related to inflammatory induction and osteoclasia mechanism. Also, it was presented blockage of them can be effective on rheumatoid arthritis. Conclusions : The oriental medicine studies have merit in its diversity of treatment, but it clinical studies is lacking compared to experimental studies. Also, more diversity of subjects is necessary. Therefore, complementary measures are needed. Hereafter, oriental medicine research about rheumatoid arthritis needs more clinical research verifying the effectiveness and safety in clinical field. Also, we require oriental medical standard of diagnosis and researches on pathological generation which would make early checkup and prognosis possible.
