2년생 안개초의 안정적인 월하(越夏)를 위해 1차 절화 수확 후 차광여부 및 잔존 지상부 절단 높이에 따른 고사주율, 개화 및 절화특성을 조사하였다. 차광처리에서 신초 발생소요일수가 짧고 발생 신초수도 많았고 고사주율은 낮은 경향이었으며, 특히 지상부를 높게 절단함으로서 고사주율이 낮아졌다. 개화는 무차광에서, 그리고 지상부를 높게 절단한 처리에서 빨라지는 경향이었고, 화경장, 측지수, 경경, 화수폭 및 절화량 등은 무차광, 9 cm 절단처리에서 가장 우수하였다. 비원추화서율과 로젯트 발생률도 무차광 9 cm 절단처리에서 낮았다.

Improvements in internal combustion engine and aftertreatment technologies are needed to meet future environmental quality goals. Plasmatron fuel converters provide a rapid response, compact means to transform a wide range of hydrocarbon fuels (including gasoline, natural gas and diesel fuel) into hydrogen-rich gas. Hydrogen-rich gas can be used as an additive to provide NOx reductions of more than 80% in diesel engine vehicles by enabling very lean operation or heavy exhaust engine recirculation. For diesel engines, use of compact plasmatron reformers to produce hydrogen-rich gas for the regeneration of NOx absorber/absorbers and particulate traps for diesel engine exhaust after-treatment could provide significant advantages. Recent tests of conversion of diesel fuel to hydrogen-rich gas using a low current plasmatron fuel converter with non-equilibrium plasma features are described.

We study the isothermal flow of a dusty viscous incompressible conducting fluid between two types of boundary motions- oscillatory and non-oscillatory, under the influence of gravitational force. Within the frame work of some physically realistic approximations and suitable boundary conditions, closed form solutions were obtained for the velocity profiles and the skin friction of the particulate flow. These results show that for a constant pressure gradient, only the velocity profile of the fluid and the skin friction are unaffected by gravity, while magnetic field is seen to affect both the fluid, particle velocities and the skin friction. Thus, our results are extension of previous results in literature, and graphical demonstration of some these solutions have been presented.

This paper proposes a novel time-domain homogenization model combining the viscoelastic constitutive law with Eshelby's inclusion theory-based micromechanics model to predict the mechanical behavior of the particle reinforced composite material. The proposed model is intuitive and straightforward capable of predicting composites' viscoelastic behavior in the time domain. The isotropization technique for non-uniform stress-strain fields and incremental Mori-Tanaka schemes for high volume fraction are adopted in this study. Effects of the imperfectly bonded interphase layer on the viscoelastic behavior on the dynamic mechanical behavior are also investigated. The proposed model is verified by the direct numerical simulation and DMA (dynamic mechanical analysis) experimental results. The proposed model is useful for multiscale analysis of viscoelastic composite materials, and it can also be extended to predict the nonlinear viscoelastic response of composite materials.

In order to investigate the regional level of air pollutants at Kangwha island situated on the western coast in Korea, the suspended particulate matter samples were collected by using the low volume air sampler on ten interval from March 1992 to February 1993 and the mass concentration of suspended particulate matter (SPM) and the chemical composition of water-soluble major ionic components in SPM samples were measured. During the sampling period, the average concentration of SPM under diameter 10 $\mu$m was found to be 48 $\mu$g/m$^3$ (+ 12). The seasonal concentration of SPM was showed in order of spring>fall>winter>summer. It was considered that higher concentration on spring than other season was affected by the long-range transport of Yellow sand particulate from China continent and lower concentration on summer by the washout and rainout effect of large rainfall. The content of water-soluble component in SPM samples was founded to be about 31% (14.69 $\mu$g/m$^3$) and 65% was unknown or unanalyzed. The content of cationic component showed in order of NH$_4^+$ (44.6%)>Na$^+$ (21.2%)>K$^+$ (14.7%)>Ca$^{2+}$ (13.6%)>Mg$^{2+}$ (5.9 %) and the content of anionic component SO$_4^{2-}$ (62.5%)>NO$_3^-$ (22.3%)>Cl$^-$ (15.2%), respectively. This fact indicates that ammonium and sulfate ion of water-soluble component in SPM sample were dominant in this region. From the chemical composition of water-soluble component, the most of Na$^+$, Mg$^{2+}$ and Cl$^-$ were originated from seawater source but K$^+$, Ca$^{2+}$ and SO$_4^{2-}$ were originated from other non-marine source. The contribution of seasalt to the composition of precipitation was 23%.

[ $PM_{2.5}$ ], particulate matter less than 2.5 um in a diameter, can penetrate deeply into the lungs. Exposure to $PM_{2.5}$ has been associated with increased hospital visits for respiratory aliments as well as increase mortality. $PM_{2.5}$ is a byproduct of combustion processes and as such has a complex composition including a variety of metallic elements, inorganic and organic compounds as well as biogenic materials (microorganisms, proteins, etc). In this study, the average concentrations of fine particulates $PM_{2.5}$ have been measured simultaneously in Asan and Seoul, Korea, by using particulate matter portable sampler from September 2001 to August 2002. Sample collection filters were analyzed by ICP-OES to determine the concentrations of metallic elements (As, Ni, Fe, Cr, Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn, Si). Annual mean $PM_{2.5}$ concentrations in Asan and Seoul were 37.70 and $45.83\;{\mu}g/m^3$, respectively. The highest concentrations of $PM_{2.5}$ were found in spring season in both cities and the concentrations of measured metallic elements except As in Asan were higher than those in Seoul, suggesting that yellow dust in spring could affect $PM_{2.5}$ concentrations in Asan rather than Seoul. The correlation coefficients of Pb and Zn were 0.343 for Asan and 0.813 for Seoul during non-yellow dust condition, suggesting that Pb and Zn were influenced with the same sources. The correlation coefficients between Si and Fe in the fine particulate mode were 0.999 (Asan) and 0.998 (Seoul) during yellow dust condition. It was suggested that these two elements were impacted by soil-related transport from China during the yellow dust storm condition.

연구배경: 미세먼지는 여러 가지 유기물과 무기물의 복합체로 그 구성 성분이 시간과 장소에 따라 다르고 모양과 크기도 일정하지 않으며, 특히 지름 $10{\mu}m$이하의 미세먼지 (particulate matter 10; $PM_{10}$)는 흡입이 가능한 입자의 크기여서 하부기관지 및 폐의 가스-교환부분까지 침착하여 호흡기계에 손상을 일으킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 황사에 포함된 $PM_{10}$과 비황사 시기에 포집된 $PM_{10}$이 폐상피세포주에 작용하여 전염증성 사이토카인(proinflammatory cytokine) 및 cytokine messenger RNA(mRNA)의 발현에 어떤 영향이 있는지를 관찰하여 기관지 천식과 만성 폐쇄성 폐질환등 호흡기 질환의 증상 악화기전에 미치는 역할을 규명하고자 하였다. 연구방법: 공기 포집기(HV 500F, sibata model)를 이용하여 황사와 비황사 기간에 하루 6시간씩 실외의 장소에서 대기분진을 membrane filter에 포집한 다음, $PM_{10}$입자를 추출하고 폐암 상피세포주인 A549 cells(한국세포은행주)에 $PM_{10}$을 농도에 맞게($10{\mu}g/ml$, $100{\mu}g/ml$, $500{\mu}g/ml$) 노출시켰다. 각각의 노출된 세포로부터 interleukin(IL)-$1{\alpha}$, $IL-1{\beta}$, IL-8, granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor(GM-CSF)의 mRNA를 역전사중합효소연쇄반응(reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction; RT-PCR) 방법으로 측정하였다. 결 과: 황사 및 비황사 기간 중 포집된 $PM_{10}$을 가했을 시 가하지 않은 대조군에 비하여 $IL-1{\alpha}$, $IL-1{\beta}$, IL-8, granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF)의 m'RNA와 cytokine의 발현이 유의하게 높았으며, 황사 기간의 고농도의 $PM_{10}$에 노출된 세포의 $IL-1{\alpha}$ mRNA는 비황사 기간의 $PM_{10}$에 노출된 세포의 mRNA보다 증가되어 있었다. 결 론: $PM_{10}$은 A549 cells에서 전염증성 사이토카인의 발현을 증가시키고 비황사 기간보다 황사 기간 중 대기 중에서 채취한 $PM_{10}$에 노출된 A549 cells에서 일부의 전염증성 사이토카인의 mRNA발현을 더욱 증가시키는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 황사 기간의 $PM_{10}$에 의한 일부의 전염증성 사이토카인의 발현 증가가 만성 호흡기 질환의 증상 악화기전에 연관되어 있을 가능성을 시사하였다.

대기오염에 관한 관심은 국내 외에서 점진적으로 상승하고 있으며, 자동차와 연료분야 연구자들은 청정 (친환경 대체연료) 연료와 연료품질 향상 등을 이용하여 새로운 엔진 설계, 혁신적인 후 처리 시스템 등의 많은 방법으로 차량 배기가스를 감소시키려고 노력하고 있다. 이러한 연구들은 주로 배출 가스 및 가솔린 차량의 PM 입자 배출 두 가지 이슈로 진행되고 있다. 자동차의 배출가스 및 미규제 물질, PM (입자상 물질) 입자는 환경오염과 인체에 악영향을 주는 많은 문제를 일으키고 있다. 자동차 배출가스의 주요 물질인 입자상 물질은 작은 입자로 구성된다. 이러한 작은 크기 때문에, 흡입된 입자는 쉽게 폐 깊숙이 침투 할 수 있다. 이 입자의 거친 표면들은 대기중에서 다른 독성 물질과 결합하기가 쉽다. 따라서 입자흡입의 위험을 증가시킨다. 함산소 연료첨가제 유형 (MTBE, 바이오 ETBE, 바이오 에탄올, 바이오 부탄올)에 기초하여, 본 논문은 가솔린 자동차 배출가스 및 미규제 물질, 나노입자 배출에 산소함량의 영향을 토론하였다. 또한, 본 논문은 두 가지 시험모드를 사용하여 배출가스 특성을 평가하였다. 시험모드는 FTP-75 및 HWFET 모드이었다. 전체 측정항목에서 배출가스 규제 값보다 적게 배출되고 있는 것을 볼 수 있었고, 산소함량이 증가하면서 측정항목에 따라 증감이 다름을 알 수 있었다.

This is a report of a feasibility study on the reduction of harmful substances such as particulate matters and nitric oxides emitted from diesel engines by using a plasma reforming system that can generate hydrogen-rich gas. In this paper, an exhaust reduction mechanism of the non-thermal plasma reaction was investigated to perform its efficiency and characteristics on producing hydrogen-rich gas. Firstly, we explain briefly the chemistry of hydrocarbon reforming. The experimental system is showed in the second part. Finally, we demonstrate the feasibility of producing hydrogen using non-thermal plasma. The experimental results are focused on the influence of the different operating parameters (air ratio, inlet flow rates, voltage) on the reformer efficiency and the composition of the produced gas.
