The recent rise in applications of thermoelectric materials has attracted interest in studies toward the fabrication of thermoelectric materials using mass production techniques. In this study, we successfully fabricate n-type $Bi_2Te_{2.7}Se_{0.3}$ material by a combination of mass production powder metallurgy techniques, gas atomization, and spark plasma sintering. In addition, to examine the effects of hydrogen reduction in the microstructure, the thermoelectric and mechanical properties are measured and analyzed. Here, almost 60% of the oxygen content of the powder are eliminated after hydrogen reduction for 4 h at $360^{\circ}C$. Micrographs of the powder show that the reduced powder had a comparatively clean surface and larger grain sizes than unreduced powder. The density of the consolidated bulk using as-atomized powder and reduced atomized powder exceeds 99%. The thermoelectric power factor of the sample prepared by reduction of powder is 20% better than that of the sample prepared using unreduced powder.

This study aims to investigate changes in plasma lipid concentrations and appetite-regulating hormone levels after a 4% body fat reduction using a 9-week intervention involving aerobic exercise, a fat-oxidizing agent, and diet limitation. After the 9-week intervention, the aerobic exercise plus hydroxycitric acid (EX+HCA), exercise (EX), and diet limitation (DIET) groups achieved the target 4% body fat reduction from the baseline value. None of the plasma lipid indicators showed significant intergroup differences, indicating that plasma lipid levels are not influenced by body weight regulation. With regard to appetite-regulating hormones, no significant intergroup differences were observed in glucose, insulin, or glucagon-like peptide-1 levels, unlike ghrelin and leptin. Ghrelin levels in particular tended to decrease in the DIET group and increase in the HCA+EX and EX groups. Leptin levels significantly decreased in the HCA+EX and EX groups, whereas no differences were observed in the DIET group. Such results indicate that exercise alone without the administration of obesity diet supplements induces elevation in ghrelin levels and reduction in leptin levels, but that diet restriction alone does not influence changes in leptin levels. Taken together, we could not confirm any synergic effects arising from the use of a fat-oxidizing agent during an exercise program to control body weight. Furthermore, diet limitation unsupported by exercise had no effect on muscle mass reduction or appetite-regulating hormone levels; thus, it is not recommended as an effective body weight control method.

In FE analysis for residual stress of a casting, contact force between mould and casting material and gravity force must be considered for exact simulation. Preheating of a repair weldment had a little effects on the reduction of residual stress. However, preheating with hammer peening had a great deal of effects on the reduction of residual stress. A method for estimation of fatigue life for a repair weldment has been established.

A data simulator and reduction package for the Devasthal Optical Telescope Integral Field Spectrograph (DOTIFS) has been developed. Since data reduction for the Integral Field Spectrograph (IFS) requires complicated procedures due to the complex nature of the integral spectrograph, common reduction procedures are usually not directly applicable for such an instrument. Therefore, the development of an optimized package for the DOTIFS is required. The data simulator observes artificial object and simulates CCD images for the instrument considering various effects; e.g. atmosphere, sky background, transmission, spectrograph optics aberration, and detector noise. The data reduction package has been developed based on the outcomes from the DOTIFS data simulator. The reduction package includes the entire processes for the reduction; pre-processing, flat-fielding, and sky subtraction. It generates 3D data cubes as a final product, which users can use for science directly.

Reduction of N-arylpyridinium compounds by $NaBH_4$ gave mixtures of the corresponding 1,2-dihydropyridine(major) and 1,4-dihydropyridine(minor), whereas similar reduction by $Na_2S_2O_4$ produced 1,4-dihydropyridines regioselectively. The proportion of 1,4-isomer in the product by $NaBH_4$ reduction appeared to increase with the electron-donating ability of N-aryl groups. When the N-aryl group is p-methylphenyl, p-ethylphenyl or p-methoxyphenyl, the 1,2-dihydropyridines in ethanol-water (4:1) solutions isomerized to the corresponding 1,4-dihydropyridines. N-(p-methylphenyl)-1,2-dihydropyridine and N-(p-ethylphenyl)-1,2-dihydropyridine in solid state also isomerized to the corresponding 1,4-dihydropyridines. The different behaviors of reduction among N-arylpyridiniums and isomerization of the reduction products depending on the substituent in N-aryl group were explained in terms of difference in the electronic effects of the substituents.

Soil type in LID infiltration practices plays a major role in runoff reduction efficacy. In this study, the effects of infiltration rate of foundation ground under bioretention on annual runoff reduction rate was evaluated using LIDMOD3 which is a simple excel based model for evaluating LID practices. A bioretention area of about 3.2 % was required to capture surface runoff from an impervious area for a 25.4 mm rainfall event. The relative error of runoff from bioretention using LIDMOD3 is 10 % less than that of SWMM5.1 for a total rainfall event of 257.1 mm during the period of Aug. 1 ~ 18, 2017, hence, the applicability of LIDMOD3 was confirmed. Annual runoff reduction rates for the period 2008 ~ 2017 were evaluated for various infiltration rates of foundation ground under the bioretention which ranged from 0.001 to 0.600 m/day and were converted to annual runoff reduction for hydrologic soil group. The runoff reduction rates within hydrologic soil group C and D were steeply increased through increased infiltration rate but not steep within hydrologic A and B with reduction rates ranging from 53 ~ 68 %. The estimated time required to completely empty a bioretention which has a storage depth of 0.632 m is 3.5 ~ 6.9 days and we could assume that the annual average of antecedent rainfall is longer than 3.5 ~ 6.9 days. Therefore, we recommended B type as the minimum hydrologic soil group installed LID infiltration practices for high runoff reduction rate.

In this study, we investigated the relationship between noise reduction and the community structure of nine groups of typical plant communities as well as the reduction in noise at different frequencies. The semantic differential method was adopted to explore the perception of noise reduction. The results indicated that there was a significantly positive correlation between noise reduction and coverage, a significantly negative correlation between noise reduction and bifurcate height, and a negative correlation between noise reduction and bare rate. However, there was no significant correlation between noise reduction and height, diameter at breast height, or crown width. The reduction of middle-frequency noise was better than that of low- and high-frequency noise. The indicators "quiet" and "calm" showed that plant communities could reduce the noise perceived by humans. However, overly dense woodland caused nervousness, fear, depression, and other negative effects. Relatively open environments and those with large forest gaps obtained the highest evaluation.

도시화는 유출량의 증가와 도달시간의 감소에 영향을 미치고 있으며, 이는 하류 지점의 빈번한 범람을 야기시키고 있다. 따라서 유역내에 침투시설과 저류시설 등 유출저감효과를 기대할 수 있는 여러 가지 시설을 이용하여 유출량을 저감시킬 수 있는 각종 규모의 지체저류시설을 활용하게 되었다. 본 연구에서는 세가지의 형태(세장형(SF=0.204), 집중형(SF=0.782), 중간형(SF=0.567))로 유역을 가정하여 일반적으로 유역 말단에 설치하던 유수지(저류지)를 유역내의 임의의 위치에 설치하여 단일저류지와 복수 저류지에 대해 각각 유출저감효과를 분석하고, 이들 저류지의 위치관련변수와 수문학적으로 분석하였다. 단일 저류지의 위치에 따른 유출저감효과를 분석하기 위해 유역의 형상에 따라 저류지의 위치는 전체 유역면적에 대한 저류지 상류부 면적의 비(이하 저류지 상류부 면적비, DUAR(Dimensionless Upstream Area Ratio)이라 한다)를 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%로 변동시키면서 모의분석을 수행하였으며, 복수 저류지의 위치에 따른 유출저감효과를 분석하기 위해 단일 저류지 분석시 적용한 유역형상 중 중간형 유역을 대상으로 하여 방류구조와 유역의 제반사항은 단일 저류지의 모의시와 동일하게 가정하였고, 저류지가 분담하는 유역의 면적비를 바탕으로 하여 DUAR 60%, 80%, 100%, 120%, 140%의 경우에 대해 분석하였다. 이 때 저류지 바닥면적(Ab)의 크기는 유역면적에 대해 각각 1%와 0.5%를 취하는 경우의 두 가지로 구분지어 모의분석을 실시하였다. 저류지의 위치에 따른 유출저감효과를 분석한 결과 세장형의 유역이 적은 저류량에 대해 유출저감효과가 우수하였으며, 저류지의 위치 관련변수의 관계도 및 관계식을 제시하였고, 이를 시험유역에 적용시켜 검증하였다. 저류지 위치 관련변수의 관계도 및 관계식을 이용하여 단일 저류지와 복수 저류지의 개략적인 위치선정 기준을 제안하였다.

This study investigated the effects of NPS(non point source) pollution reduction of sediment traps through field experiments. Various sizes of 4 sediment traps were applied in a upland field located in Gunwi and assessed the infiltration and storage effects as well as NPS pollution reduction effects of this technique. The characteristics of deposited soil in the sediment traps were also analyzed including distribution of particle size, soil texture, and chemical properties. The results showed that slightly different composition of soil particle size from each sediment trap with high proportion of 0.15mm and 0.25mm ranges of soil particle diameters, while the loamy sand is the main types of deposited soils in the sediment traps. Decreased NPS pollution were observed from the water quality analysis of the samples taken from the sediment traps. Further research need to be proceeded continuously to improve this technique in order to utilize on upland fields for management of agricultural NPS pollutions.

Wind-induced mean and dynamic interference effects of tall buildings are studied in detail by a series of wind tunnel tests in this paper. Interference excitations of several types of upwind structures of different sizes in different upwind terrains are considered. Comprehensive interference characteristics are investigated by artificial neural networks and correlation analysis. Mechanism of the wakes vortex-induced resonance is discussed, too. Measured results show significant correlations exist in the distributions of the interference factors of different configurations and upwind terrains and, therefore, a series of relevant regression equations are proposed to simplify the complexity of the multi-parameter wind induced interference effects between two tall buildings.
