  • Concern about global environment has been increasing in recent years. Efforts to minimize the environmental impact to the globe as well as human beings have increased, especially in the late twentieth century. The study researches one of the solutions for the environmentally friendly building construction, which can contribute to sustaining the world environment. Assessment and proposals are made for high-rise apartments, one of the most popular construction types nowadays in Korea. Since the volume of high-rise apartment construction is so great, a small improvement in each building will make a great contribution. Assessments are made over the life-span of apartment buildings. A tool named EIAHA (Environmental Impact Assessment for High-rise Apartment) has been made through references from western examples, mainly in the UK. The components of EIAHA include passive design strategies, building materials, energy consumption during building operation and management/maintenance. Although the issues are on a global scale, solutions are sought on regional scale. Korean high-rise apartments are assessed with the tool and suggestions for sustainable development are made mainly for improvement of embodied energy of building materials and the life of buildings.

  • The membrane-aerated biofilm reactor (MABR) is a promising municipal wastewater treatment process. In this study, two cross-flow MABRs were constructed to explore the carbon and nitrogen removal performance and bacterial succession, along with changes of influent loading shock comprising flow velocity, COD, and NH4-N concentrations. Redundancy analysis revealed that the function of high flow velocity was mainly embodied in facilitating contaminants diffusion and biosorption rather than the success of overall bacterial populations (p > 0.05). In contrast, the influent NH4-N concentration contributed most to the variance of reactor efficiency and community structure (p < 0.05). Pyrosequencing results showed that Anaerolineae, and Beta- and Alphaproteobacteria were the dominant groups in biofilms for COD and NH4-N removal. Among the identified genera, Nitrosomonas and Nitrospira were the main nitrifiers, and Hyphomicrobium, Hydrogenophaga, and Rhodobacter were the key denitrifiers. Meanwhile, principal component analysis indicated that bacterial shift in MABR was probably the combination of stochastic and deterministic processes.

  • 우주환경의 주 요소인 고에너지 입자를 검출하기 위한 고분해능 전자 및 양성자 검출기를 설계하였다. 전자와 양성자의 flux는 궤도상의 위치나 태양활동에 따라 급격하게 변할 수 있다. 이러한 상황에서 높은 에너지 분해능으로 입자환경을 검출, 연구하기 위한 검출기의 개념설계를 시도하였으며, 이를 실제 우주환경에서 어느 정도의 성능을 가질 수 있는지를 예측하여 보았다. 또한, 높은 입자 플럭스에도 정상적인 측정이 가능할 수 있도록 FPGA를 이용한 병렬 처리 알고리즘을 고안하고 전산모사 기법을 통하여 성능을 평가하였다.

  • Recently, the construction of tall buildings utilized by high strength-concrete in the whole world is tending to be on the rise. The application of high-rise structural system in buildings results in the excellent cut-down effect in construction materials due to section reduction. Therefore, in order to investigate the CO2 and resource reduction effect for the high-rise structural system, comparisons of GWP and ADP in embodied energy of structural materlais between 4 type of high-rise structural system have been performed. As a result, GWP emission increased in the order of steel structure outrigger system, RC shear wall system, and RC outrigger system. On the other hand, ADP emissions increased in the order of RC shear wall system, RC outrigger system, and steel structure outrigger system.

  • This is a humanistic study to trace phenomena logically the comprehensive therapeutic mechanism of the human body which is coded by the smart emotion of the rated signal conveyed by the Rated Sijo. The Gestalt, which is structured in the form of therapeutic metastasis conveyed by sentences, is intended to embody the principle of human response. So, this researcher explored the metastatic structure toward Gestalt of original human being through the passage of foreground and background by ergonomic and chemical structure. In the meantime, this researcher focused on revealing the structure of the field of existence by the symbol system in which the therapeutic mechanism of the human body is embodied. As a result, the basic framework of Gestalt literary therapy, which contributes to the improvement of the Quality of Life metaphorized as a mechanism of the symbol system by the metastasis of literary therapy or the electrical operation of the human body. As a result, the human body as a conductor through literature has turned out to be an original Gestalt structure pursued by literature. In addition, it was analyzed that the human body would accept signals such as emotions and Rated Emotions planted in the sentence, and synapse them into the human physiological psycho analytical symbol system. Therefore, it has been confirmed possibility that human existent environment and trauma are separated from the whole universe can push fully implement therapeutic techniques toward totalization by a combination of literary devices, especially appropriate electric signal combination of the Rated Sijo.

  • This paper explores the function of a structural skin with an embossed surface applicable to use for tall building structures. The major diagrid system with a secondary embossed surface structure provides an enhanced perimeter structural system by increasing tube section areas and reduces aerodynamic loads by disorienting major organized structure of winds. A parametric study used to investigate an optimized configuration of the embossed structure revealed that the embossed structure has a structural advantage in stiffening the structure, reducing lateral drift to 90% compared to a non-embossed diagrid baseline model, and results of wind load analysis using computational fluid dynamics, demonstrated the proposed embossed system can reduce. The resulting undulating embossed skin geometry presents both opportunities for incorporating versatile interior environments as well as unique challenges for daylighting and thermal control of the envelope. Solar and thermal control requires multiple daylighting solutions to address each local façade surface condition in order to reduce energy loads and meet occupant comfort standards. These findings illustrate that although more complex in geometry, architects and engineers can produce tall buildings that have less impact on our environment by utilizing structural forms that reduce structural steel needed for stiffening, thus reducing embodied $CO^2$, while positively affecting indoor quality and energy performance, all possible while creating a unique urban iconography derived from the performance of building skin.

  • 최근 풍력발전은 전 세계적으로 전기의 생산을 위해 사용되는 신재생 에너지원 중 가장 빨리 성장하고 있는 분야이다. 일반적으로 풍력발전 시스템은 설치 후 약 20년 동안 사용될 수 있도록 설계되며 따라서 장기간 운전할 경우, 풍력 발전기에서의 고장은 필연적으로 발생하게 된다. 특히 풍력발전 시스템의 너셀 내부에는 로터샤프트, 기어박스 및 발전기 등이 설치되며 이들 요소의 정상적인 동작을 보장하기 위한 각종 냉각 시스템이 설치된다. 만일 이들 냉각 시스템에 고장이 발생된다면 전체 풍력발전시스템의 정상적인 동작을 보장하는 것이 불가능하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 풍력발전 시스템 너셀 내부에 설치되는 각종 냉각장치의 고장을 미연에 방지할 수 있게 하는 IR 카메라 기반의 풍력발전용 고장검출 시스템을 제안하고 실제 시스템의 구현을 통해 제안된 기법의 유용성을 확인하고자 한다.

  • 열작용에 의한 전자파의 안전성을 생각하는데 있어서는 , 이 30${\sim}$300MHz 부근의 주파수대가 가장 중요하고 기립 신장 방향의 공진 상태에서는 목, 슬 관절, 발목 등 가는 부분이 강하게 가열되는 위험이 있다. 이처럼 자기자극기는 시간적으로 변화하는 자계를 인체내부에 전계를 유도하여 무접촉성, 무침습적으로 깊고, 넓은 부위의 자극이 가능한 이점으로 말초신경, 뇌질환, 뇌신경, 근력, 요실금, 노인성, 근질환, 재활치료 등까지 근래에 와서 활발하게 연구가 활발히 진행 중이다. 마지막으로 초미니 자기신경 치료기를 말초신경계 질환치료에 적용하기 위하여 연구한 결과, 첫째로 자기루프 객체의 실린더 형태로 설계하고 동작전원과 제어장치를 구현하였고, 둘째로 루프 객체 실린더형이 프로브의 특성과 치료영역 범위와 치료펄스의 거리에 대한 유효영역을 구하였고, 셋째로 프로브의 형태에 따른 펄스포밍과 에너지 값을 구현하여, 병변에 따른 치료펄스를 구현할 수가 있었다. 특히, 특성실험을 통해 댐핑펄스 형태와 치료펄스 형태 등을 다양하게 구하게 되었다. 최근에 의학 발달로 무자극, 무침습에 따른 질환치료에 조금이라도 도움이 되고자 구현 하였다. 본 연구에서는 고진폭 치료펄스(전통적인 magneto-therapy)의 크게 대단한 강렬)는 짧은 시간에 치료효과를 극대화 하고, 미래에는 수요가 크게 확대 될 것으로 예측된다.
