The cellulose-based, Electroactive Paper (EAPap) has recently been reported as a smart material with the advantages of lightweight, dry condition, biodegradability, sustainability, large displacement output and low actuation voltage. However, it requires high humidity.. This paper introduces an EAPap made with a cellulose solution and lithium chloride (LiCl), which can be actuated in room humidity condition. The fabrication process, performance test and effect of LiCl content of the EAPap actuator are illustrated. The bending displacement of the EAPap actuators was evaluated with actuation voltage, frequency, humidity and LiCl content changes. At a LiCl/ cellulose content of 3:10, the displacement output was maximized at a room humidity condition. Even though the displacement output was less than that of a high humidity EAPap actuator, the mechanical power output was not reduced due to the increased resonance frequency, which is promising for developing EAPap actuators that are less sensitive to humidity.

Purpose: This study desires to investigate an effect of indoor temperature, humidity, and illuminance targeting a planting system of double-skin facade and cavity space adjacent to the outside within a certain period of winter. Through this, the study suggests a basic material about an energy conservation effect of double window system using planting to reduce heating load of a building in winter, so desires to contribute to indoor thermal comfort effect and illuminance correction study of double window and indoor plant. Method: Considering effects such as day and night climatic elements and air conditions in winter, illuminance measurement was conducted through a double-skin facade of space, a subject of the measurement, on the basis of practical residence time of a resident, and this study analyzed characteristics of indoor illuminance about this. The study measured and compared a change of insolation, dry-bulb temperature, and relative humidity at each indoor-outdoor measuring point, so measured and compared characteristics of an indoor temperature effect by elements of double-skin facade and indoor plant. Result: Through this study, the researcher could determine that indoor plant within double window in winter not only blocks solar radiation but also photosynthesizes, so is somewhat disadvantageous to winter thermal comfort reducing heating load. In addition, solar radiation going through interior plays a role to bring down somewhat high humidity to about 50% of reasonable humidity, so plays a direct role of maintenance of comfortable indoor space. Although there are effects such as blocking of solar radiation and temperature reduction, this has a positive influence on humidity control and proper illuminance distribution. The researcher could determine that illuminance, temperature, and humidity by solar radiation penetration for the whole measuring time play a role to supplement indoor environment mutually.

Carbon nitride films were evaluated that they had many advantages for miniature micro-humidity-sensors using the standard CMOS technology humidity sensing properties and CV characteristics of the carbon nitride films have been investigated for fabricating one chip HUSFET(Humidity Sensitive Field Effect Transistor) humidity sensors Carbon nitride films were deposited on silicon substrate with meshed electrodes by reactive RF magnetron sputtering system. The capacitor-type humidity sensor revealed good humidity-impedance characteristics with a wide range of relative humidity changes, decreasing $254k{\Omega}$ to $16k{\Omega}$ according to increase of relative humidity between 5% ~ 95% and the films were very stable on the Si wafer. These results reveal that $CN_x$ thin films can be used for Si based or HUSFET structure one chip micro-humidity sensors.

Thermal environment of city is getting worse due to severe urban heat island caused by climate change and urbanization. The cooling effect of street tree is regarded as a effective way to ameliorate the urban heat environment. The effect is largely made up of shadow formation and transpiration. This study aims to identify how the transpiration affects the discomfort index by analyzing comprehensive impact of the transpiration on the air temperature and relative humidity. The changes in the amount of transpiration, air temperature, and relative humidity were estimated for Seogyo-dong area which has a lot of floating population in Seoul, at 2 p.m. in dry day in July and August. On average, the transpiration of the street tree decreased the temperature 0.3℃ and increased the relative humidity 2.6% in an hour. As a result of these changes in temperature and humidity, the discomfort index rose mostly(0.036 on average). It was always get rise especially on the day when the discomfort index was above 80(0.05 on average). However, compared with the significant change in temperature and humidity, the variation of the discomfort index itself was very slight(up to 0.107). Therefore, the effect of transpiration by the street trees might not be effective in the planning to improve the thermal environment(especially on the day when the discomfort index is high). It is necessary to select the species of trees and planting location considering the cooling effect of shade formation synthetically.

In this paper, the effect of alkaline oxide addition such as Li$_{2}$O and Na$_{2}$O on the microstructure and humidity sensitivity of V$_{2}$O$_{5}$(2 mol%)-doped TiO$_{2}$(98 mol%) was investigated as a function of amount (0, 1, 2, 5, 10 mol%) of Li$_{2}$O and Na$_{2}$O additives. The pores in the alkaline free sample were distributed mostly in the range between 0.16 and 1.0.mu.m in diameter and its porosity was 23.29%. Li$_{2}$O caused grain overgrowth and reduced the porosity with a narrow distribution of the pore size, leading to poor humidity sensitivity. Na$_{2}$O helped to enlarge the distribution of the pore size through the formation of small soluble phases. The pore sizes of the sample containing Na$_{2}$O 2mol% were distributed mostly in the range between 1.0 and 2.5.mu.m in diameter and its porosity and intrusion volume of mercury were 31.13 % and 0.1155 mL/g respectively, which consequently improved the humidity sensing characteristics such as the sensitivity and temperature-stability. Especially, the addition of 2mol% of Na$_{2}$O improved the humidity-sensing characteristics such as sensitivity and linearity in the whole range between 30 and 90 %RH (Percentage Relative Humidity)y)

A study on the combustion and exhaust emissions characteristics of diesel engine with various suction air humidity is performed experimentally. In this paper, suction air humidity is changed from RH 50% to RH 90%, the experiments are performed at engine speed 1800rpm, and main measured parameters are cylinder pressure, fuel consumption rate, CO, HC, NOx and Soot emissions etc. Increase of suction air humidity from RH 50% to RH 90% does not effect specific fuel consumption, decreases maximum pressure in cylinder, ratio of maximum pressure rise and net heat release, and delays ignition timing. Also, that increases CO and HC emissions, decreases NOx emissions, but does not constant in changing tendency on emission.

This paper examined the effects of specimen elongation on the electrostatic electrification voltages when polypropylene film specimens with 500%, 650% and 700% elongations were rotated at 1550 rpm. The results were as follows. The decease of electrification voltage was not measured according to the time elapse, in case of elongated specimens with 70% environment humidity. As +10 kV was applied to the specimens with 650% elongations, the electrostatic electrification voltages were increased by the effect of environment humidity (1.23~1,25 kV at 50~60% humidity, and 1,46 kV at 70% humidity). The voltages were decreased to 1.2 kV at 700% elongation. As -10 kV was applied to the specimens with 500%, 650% and 700% elongations, the electrostatic electrification voltages were negatively increased with the increase of environment humidity and the elongation of specimens.

본 연구는 토지피복현황과 수림의 층위구조 등이 다양한 도시녹지를 대상으로 미기상 조절에 미치는 영향을 정성 및 정량적으로 파악하기 위해 녹지내의 기온 및 습도를 관측하였다. 그 데이터를 바탕으로 녹지내의 토지피복 현황과 그 비율, 녹적량과 기온 및 습도와의 관련성을 회귀분석 등에 의해 해석하였다. 그 결과 고온역은 포장면과 나지 주변에서, 저온역은 수림지 및 수면 주변에서 형성되었다. 또한, 수림(교목+소교목)으로 둘러싸인 수면, 소하천 주변에도 저온을 나타냈다. 습도는 기온분포에 거의 대응하는 형태로 고온역이 저습역이고, 저온역이 고습역으로 나타났다. 녹지가 미기상조절효과를 갖는 메커니즘은 토지피복비율의 종류,그 비율의 차이에 따라 미기상조절효과의 정도가 서로 달랐다. 더욱이 각 녹적량의 증가는 수고에 관계없이 모두 기온은 떨어뜨리고 습도는 상승시키는 효과를 보였다. 그 효과의 효율은 교목, 소교목, 관목의 순이다. 지금까지의 실증결과로부터 고온완화에는 수림지, 수면,초지의 순으로, 그 비율을 증가해서 배치하면 효과가 커지고, 같은 방법으로 습도의 상승에는 수면, 수림지, 초지의 순으로 그 비율을 증가해서 배치하면 효과가 높아진다. 그 효율성을 고려하면 수면, 소하천을 핵으로 그 주변은 교목 중심의 수림이 좋고, 그 층위구조는 단층림보다는 2∼3층의 혼효림이 미기상조절에 미치는 효과가 크다.
