In sodium systems, leakage is one of the safety concerns; it can cause chemical reactions, which may result in fires. There are contact and non-contact types of leak detectors, and the conventional method of non-contact type detection is by gas sampling. Because of the complexity of this method, there has always been a need for a simple gas sensor, and the resistive-type nanostructure ZnO sensor is a promising option with various advantages. In this study, a ZnO sensor was fabricated, and the concept was tested as a leak detector using a dedicated experiment facility. The experiment results showed distinctive changes in resistance with the presence of sodium aerosol under various conditions. Replacing the conventional gas sampling with the ZnO sensors is expected to enable identification of the leakage location if used as a point-wise instrumentation and to greatly reduce the total cost, making the system simple, light, and effective. For further study, more tests will be performed to evaluate the sensitivity of key parameters under various conditions.

전 지구적 기후변화로 인하여 습지에서 일어나는 다양한 종류의 생지화학적인 순환에 큰 변화가 관측되고 있다. 특히, 갯벌의 경우 온도변화에 의한 직접적인 환경변화 뿐 아니라 해수면의 상승과 강수량의 변화라는 요인에 의해 간접적인 영향도 받을 것으로 예측된다. 본 논문에서는 온도와 해수의 염도 변화에 따라 갯벌에서 발생하는 메탄양의 변화를 실험실 규모의 실험을 통하여 규명하고자 했다. 시료는 겨울철 강화도 동검도 갯벌에서 채취하여 2 종류의 실험을 수행하였다. 첫 번째 실험에서는 0-5 cm, 5-10 cm 깊이의 토양을 자연 상태의 염도와 50 % 희석한 염도 조건 하에서 20 일간 배양하며 2일 간격으로 메탄 발생량을 측정하였다. 두 번째 실험에서는 5-10 cm 깊이의 토양을 $5^{\circ}C$, $15^{\circ}C$ 에서 자연 상태의 염도와 50 % 희석한 염도 조건 하에서 31일간 배양하며 발생하는 메탄의 양을 하루 간격으로 측정하였다. 첫 번째 실험의 결과 5-10 cm 깊이의 토양에서 메탄이 더 많이 발생하며 염도의 영향은 배양 후반부로 가면서 크게 나타남을 알 수 있었다. 두 번째 실험 결과에서는 $15^{\circ}C$에서 $5^{\circ}C$에서 보다 더 많은 메탄이 발생하였고, 50 % 희석한 염도 조건에서 자연 상태의 염도 조건에서 보다 많은 메탄이 발생하는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 갯벌에서의 메탄 생성율은 온도 상승과 해수의 화학적 특성의 변화에 따라 많은 영향을 받음을 보여준다. 또한 전 지구적 기후변화로 야기될 온도나 해수 염도의 변화가 메탄의 발생에 영향을 미쳐, 생물학적 되먹임 기작에도 변화가 일어날 것으로 사료된다.

Friction and wear characteristics of metals in dry and boundary lubricated sliding conditions are observed experimentally using pin-on-disk and pin-on-plate type tribotesters. The motivation of this research is to investigate the effect of sliding history on the tribological behavior of metals. Cu and SM45C steel materials were used for the experiment. The results show that in dry condition the fictional behavior as well as wear of the specimens differed between uni-directional and bi-directional sliding conditions. The friction coefficient values, wear profile and optical micrograph of the wear track are presented.

This paper proposes a method to detect calibration patterns for accurate camera calibration under complicated backgrounds and uneven lighting conditions of industrial fields. Required to measure object dimensions, the preprocessing of camera calibration must be able to extract calibration points from a calibration pattern. However, industrial fields for visual inspection rarely provide the proper lighting conditions for camera calibration of a measurement system. In this paper, a probabilistic criterion is proposed to detect a local set of calibration points, which would guide the extraction of other calibration points in a cluttered background under irregular lighting conditions. If only a local part of the calibration pattern can be seen, input data can be extracted for camera calibration. In an experiment using real images, we verified that the method can be applied to camera calibration for poor quality images obtained under uneven illumination and cluttered background.

This research chose three kinds of sleeping bags with different fillings (A: interfill polyester, B: brushed polyester, C: down) and put them in two environmental conditions (Env. I : $25{\pm}1^{\circ}C$, $50{\pm}10%$; Env. II : $18{\pm}1^{\circ}C$, $70{\pm}10%$). The measured Skin temperature, Temperature and Humidity in sleeping bag, Rectal temperature and Psychological reaction. The results of experiment were as follows: 1. The mean skin temperature of Sleeping Bag B was the closest to the most comfortable value in the two environmental conditions. 2. Temperature and humidity in sleeping bags, in both environmental conditions, contained the value nearest to the most comfortable one in Sleeping Bag B. 3. Rectal temperature in both environments had a slight change in the range of antibody temperature in all the subjects of sleeping bags. 4. As subjective psychological reaction, both thermal and humid sensation approached the most comfortable zone in Sleeping Bag B.

벼뿌리선충의 벼뿌리갈변에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 벼가 자라는 배지조건을 달리하여 실내시험한 결과, 살균배지조건에서는 선충에 의하여 갈변도가 약간 높아졌으나 무살균조건에서는 선충의 존재여부에 관계없이 뿌리전체가 갈변되었는데 이것은 벼뿌리의갈변이 선충에 의한 다기보다 주로 그외의 토양미생물에 의하여 일어나는 것으로 보인다.

Weld line in injection molded part is one of the defects in injection molding process. Weld line deteriorates not only appearance quality but mechanical property. In this study, ABS and PP were used as experimental materials. And weld line length, depth and strength have been examined according to the injection molding conditions. As the results of experimental studies, weld line length increased as flow rate increases for all materials. And the flow rate is most influenced to the creation of weld line length. Also weld line strength increased, as flow rate and melt temperature increase for all materials. The whole experiment results was similar to CAE analysis results.

The aklavinone 11-hydroxylase which was overexpressed using T7 promoter in E. coli could be detected in SDS-PAGE only in insoluble precipitate without any detectable enzyme activity. The insoluble enzyme was solubilized in 6M guanidine$.$HCl solution and their refolding ability was tested under various conditions. When the enzymatic activity was checked by the bioconversion experiment, stepwise dialysis against 6M, 3M, 1M guanidine$.$HCl and finally 100 mM potassium phosphate buffer of the solubilized protein gave the best bioconversion efficiency. The aklavinone 11-hydroxylase showed its enzymatic activity in the reaction buffer containing NADPH with vigorous shaking. The enzymatic activity was lost during partial purification and regained by the addition of crude extract of S. lividans in the reaction mixture. This effect was confirmed to due to some low-molecular weight component(s) in the crude extract, because the addition of dialyzed crude extract could not recover the enzymatic activity.

When a vehicle is operated over sort terrain, torque(or soil thrust) applied to driving wheel brings about shear displacement far soil due to compression and shear failure of soil under tire. This shear displacement give rise to slip and a additional sinkage due to slip. This additional sinkage is usually referred to as slip-sinkage. The slip-sinkage is affected by soil conditions and inflation pressure of tire. This slip-sinkage influence tractive performance on driving wheel . We conducted the experimental study far investigating the effect of slip on sinkage and tractive performance of driving wheel, such as motion resistance, thrust and drawbar pull. The experiment was carried out over three different soil conditions(soft, hard and very hard soil) far a tire with three levels of inflation pressure(120kPa, 240kPa and 360kPa). The results of this study show qualitatively slipsinkage characteristics and slip-tractive performance relationships of driving wheel with soil conditions and inflation pressure of tire.
