  • Under a very tough situation that there has been increasing concern to the air quality in underground subway spaces, this study set sights on the thorough estimation of the chemical properties and source apportionment of particulate matter (PM) collected on an underground subway platform by a cooperative approach of semi-bulk and single particle analyses. The size-resolved PMs were intensively collected on the platform of Miasageori station on the Seoul Subway Line-4, and then, they were semibulkily analyzed by a PIXE and the TOR$^{(R)}$ method, and individually analyzed by a SEM-EDX. Overwhelmingly enriched iron was a notable feature of elemental concentration of $PM_{2.5}$. Source classification of iron in $PM_{10-2.5}$ and $PM_{2.5}$ performed along with their elemental concentrations, indicates that the railway originated iron accounts for 95.71% and 66.39% of total iron in $PM_{10-2.5}$ and $PM_{2.5}$, respectively. Via a stoichiometric categorization, $Fe_2O_3$, $CaAl_2Si_2O_8$, $Al_2O_3$, and $CaCO_3$ show more than 85% abundance ratio in individual coarse particles. The result of theoretical estimation of the subway derived organic carbon ($OC_{Subway}$) suggests that $OC_{Subway}$ in $PM_1$ and $PM_{2.5-1}$ account for 75.86% and 51.88% of total organic carbon, respectively.

  • The purpose of this study was to apply the activity-based costing (ABC) model to restaurant menu costing. The overhead cast of six entr${\acute{e}}$es in XYZ restaurant was calculated for all levels of activity. When comparing activity-based costing with traditional costing applied to BBQ pork rib and an assorted seafood platter, the total difference of costs between two items was 2,191 won in activity-based costing and 600 won in traditional costing. The average food cast percentage of the six entr${\acute{e}}$es was 27% using traditional costing, while the average activity-based cost percentage was 40%. Therefore, there was a 13% difference between the actual margin volume and the expected margin volume. The application of activity-based costing to the restaurant industry would be a milestone from a cost point of view as well as from a process point of view. In particular, the limitation that traditional costing only accounts for food costs could be overcome b considering the overhead cost as an important part of the cast structure. Furthermore, activity-based costing would not only help to reduce the costs associated with the process of analyzing the activities but it would also provide more accurate cost information for menu pricing.

  • 본 연구에서는 지점 간 확률가중모멘트의 교차상관관계를 구하기 위해 Monte Carlo 모의를 이용하여 이를 지점간 표본자료의 교차상관성에 대한 관계식으로 확장하여 근사값을 구하고자 하였다. 모의실험 결과 각각의 확률가중 모멘트간 교차상관계수는 지점 간 표본자료의 교차상관계수와 자료크기가 동일하고 동시간 자료일 경우 기울기 1인 선형관계를 보이며, 자료크기에 따른 동시간 자료의 비율이 작아질수록 선형적인 관계는 점점 약해지게 된다. 따라서 자료크기에 따른 영향을 고려하기 위하여 보정항을 추가한 제곱함수식을 제시하였으며, 이 식에 발생된 자료를 적합시켜 각각의 경우에 따른 매개변수를 추정하였다. 이 결과를 이용하여 지역빈도해석의 지점 간 교차 상관성을 고려한 수문추정량의 분산 추정 등의 연구에 이용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

  • Chungnam region accounts for the largest SOX (22.8%) emission with the second-largest NOX (10.8%) emission in Korea due to the integration of many large industrial sources including a steel mill, coal-fired power plants, and petrochemical complex. Air pollutants emitted by large industrial sources can cause harmful problems to humans and the environment. Thus, it is necessary to understand dispersion patterns of air pollutants from large industrial sources in Chungnam to characterize atmospheric contamination in Chungnam and the surrounding area. In this study, seasonal atmospheric dispersion characteristics for SOX, NOX, and PM2.5 from ten major point sources in Chungnam were evaluated using HYSPLIT 4 model, and their contributions to SO2, NO2 concentrations in the regions near the source areas were estimated. The predictions of the HYSPLIT 4 model show a seasonal different dispersion pattern, in which air pollutants were dispersed toward the southeast in winter while, northeast in summer. In summer, due to weaker wind speed, air pollutants concentrations were higher than in winter, and they were dispersed to the metropolitan area. The local emissions of air pollutants in Taean area had a greater influence on the ambient SO2 and NO2 concentrations at Taean, whereas SOX and NOX emissions from large sources located at Seosan showed relatevely little effect on the ambient ambient SO2 and NO2 concentrations at Seosan.

  • Madhupur National Park (MNP) is one of the last remaining patches of old-growth natural Sal forest left in Bangladesh where the forest is tropical moist deciduous type. A study was revealed to assess the tree species diversity and composition in this area. For determining tree species the study was conducted through extensive random quadrat survey methods with $20m{\times}20m$ sized plots. Results of the study indicated that there were 139 tree species belonging to 100 genera and 40 families. The quadrat survey assessed the basal area, stem density, diversity indices and importance value index of the tree species having ${\geq}5cm$ D.B.H (Diameter at Brest Height). The basal area and stem density of the tree species were $20.689{\pm}1.08m^2/ha$ and $1412.93{\pm}64.27stem\;ha^{-1}$ while, diversity indices, i.e. Shannon-Wiener's diversity, Simpson's evenness, Margalef's species richness and Pielou's dominance indices indicated poor diversity in comparison to that of other PAs (Protected Areas) in South-Eastern region of Bangladesh. The structural composition based on height and D.B.H through reverse-J shaped curve indicated higher regeneration and recruitment but removal of trees of large growth classes. Sal (Shorea robusta) was the most dominant tree species that accounts 75% of the total tree individuals in the natural forest patches. However, some associates of Sal, i.e. Bhutum (Hymenodictyon orixensis), Gadila (Careya arborea), and Kusum (Schleichera oleosa) etc. were seemed to be rare in MNP.

  • Characteristics of carbonaceous components and organic compounds in PM2.5 over the atmosphere of the Yellow Sea were investigated. PM2.5 samples were collected onboard the meteorological research vessel, GISANG 1, over the Yellow Sea during the YES-AQ campaign in 2018 and 2019, respectively. The average concentrations of carbonaceous components in this region were 2.59 ± 1.59 ㎍ m-3 for the OC, 0.24 ± 0.10 ㎍ m-3 for the EC, 2.14 ± 1.30 ㎍ m-3 for the WSOC and 1.17 ± 0.94 ㎍ m-3 for the HULIS-C, respectively. The total concentration of 56 organic compounds (ΣOCs) accounts for 10% of OC. The main group among organic compounds were dicarboxylic acids which account for 57% of ΣOCs, followed by n-alkanoic acids accounting for 34% of ΣOCs. In n-alkanoic acid distribution, hexanoic (C6:0) and octanoic (C8:0) acids which are low molecular weight n-alkanoic acids and known as emitted from marine biogenic activities were dominant in this region. Furthermore, non-HULIS-C fraction increased when the air mass originated from the marine region rather than the continental region. When the Asian dust episode was observed, the WISOC concentrations along with the levoglucosan were increased, while the haze episodes caused the increase of WSOC, HULIC-S and DCAs. In this study, we found that the components of carbonaceous and organic aerosols in PM2.5 over the Yellow Sea were changed with the specific air pollution episodes. It indicates that the physicochemical properties of PM2.5 can be changed by the air pollution episodes in this region.

  • 2015년 말 신기후변화협약인 파리협정(Paris Agreement)이 체결됨에 따라 우리나라의 환경정책에도 많은 영향을 미칠 것으로 보인다. 우리나라의 전체 이산화탄소 배출량의 42%를 차지하고 있는 건설업은 그동안 환경문제를 개선하기 위하여 다양한 정책을 펼쳐 왔지만, 친환경건축물 인증에 해당하는 프로젝트 외에는 소극적 적용에 그치고 있다. 이는 대부분의 친환경 관련제도가 건축시설물을 위주로 하기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 건축 뿐 아니라 토목시설물에도 광범위하게 적용될 수 있는 새로운 친환경 설계평가모델이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 VE모델을 기반으로 시설물의 친환경성, 잠재적인 환경오염 개념과 환경위험성을 평가 할 수 있는 새로운 요소를 추가하여 의사결정자가 설계단계에서 친환경에 효과적인 대안을 선정할 수 있도록 친환경 설계평가 모델을 제시 하였다. 원안인 블록식 옹벽과 대안인 현장타설 옹벽을 대상으로 사례분석을 실시한 결과 대안의 친환경가치값이 원안보다 1.026배 높게 산출되었다. 본 모델이 설계단계에서 활용된다면 환경친화적인 시설물의 건설뿐 아니라 탄소배출량의 감축에도 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

  • Combined gas and aerosol measurements at a downwind area of the volcanic plume would be essential for helping to access the impact of the volcanic eruption on the local ecosystem and residents. An intensive and the fine time resolution measurement of $SO_2$, sulfate and PM2.5 was made to estimate their distribution in the Kanto area of Japan during the Miyakejima volcanic eruption period. In Tokyo, the 1 hr average $SO_2$ concentration observed before the eruption was 23.9 ppbv, while that of after eruption was 140.4 ppbv. In the Saitama Prefecture, the average concentration of $SO_2$ marked in the present study was two times higher than the average before the volcanic eruption. The PM2.5 mass concentrations in Sitama ranged from 3.8 to $136{\mu}g\;m^{-3}$. Sulfate accounts for $4.4{\sim}39.6%$ of PM2.5 in Sitama. The good correlationship between the concentrations of $SO_2$ and sulfate was obtained. The results of the VAFTAD and HYSPLIT models indicate that $SO_2$, sulfate, and PM2.5 measured in the present study would be expected to be significantly affected by the Miyakejima volcanic plume.

  • Recently, all of the world are facing with a serious environmental crisis of global warming due to excessive energy consumptions. The Korean Government, taking over 97% of dependence on foreign energy, has made various efforts on reducing energy and greenhouse gas emission under the motto of "Low-Carbon Green Growth". Since the building sector takes 24% of domestic energy consumption, many design standards and regulations on saving energy in new buildings have been established. However, applications of energy saving designs and techniques on the remodeling process at deteriorated buildings including educational ones have been lack. Under a situation where the number of deteriorated schools accounts for up to 50%, this paper evaluated the performances of factors for reducing energy at deteriorated middle school buildings through an energy simulation tool on a standard school model. As a result, among factors of insulation, window's SHGC, southern louver, indoor setup temperature, and system efficiency, all other factors except window's SHGC and southern louver proved contribute to reduce energy at deteriorated middle school buildings, compared with the baseline energy consumption.
