T-junction structures play an important role in nuclear power plant systems. Research on liquid entrainment is mostly based on small-scale branch pipes (d/D ≤ 0.2) and attention paid to large-scale branch pipes (0.33 < d/D < 1) is insufficient. Accordingly, this study implements a series of experiments on the liquid entrainment of T-junction with different angles (32.2°,47.9°,62.3°,90°) through a large-scale branch (d/D = 0.675). The onset liquid entrainment is related to the gas phase Froude number Fr_g, the dimensionless gas chamber height h_b/d and the branch pipe angle 𝜃. As Fr_g increases, h_b/d also rises. With a constant h_b/d, the onset liquid entrainment changes from droplets entrainment by the gas phase to that by the rising liquid film. The steady-state liquid entrainment is related to w_3g, h/d and 𝜃. With constant w_3g and h/d, the branch quality grows as the branch angle increases. With a certain h/d, the branch quality increases, as the w_3g number increases.

This study aimed to determine the degree of hydrolysis and angiotensin-I-converting enzyme (ACE)-inhibitory activity of Giant Jellyfish Nemopilema nomurai (jellyfish) hydrolysates. The degree of hydrolysis using six proteolytic enzymes (Alcalase, Flavozyme, Neutrase, papain, Protamex, and trypsin) ranged from 13.1-36.8% and the inhibitory activities from 20.46-79.58%. Using papain hydrolysate, we newly isolated and characterized ACE-inhibitory peptides with a molecular weight of 3,000-5,000 Da that originated from jellyfish collagen. The purified peptide (FII-b) was predicted to be produced from an alpha-2 fragment of the type IV collagen of jellyfish. The N-terminal sequence of FII-b was Asp-Pro-Gly-Leu-Glu-Gly-Ala-His-Gly- and showed 87% identity to the collagen type IV alpha-2 fragment of Rattus norvegicus and a predicted protein from Nematostella vectensis, indicating that the ACE-inhibitory peptide originated from the collagen hydrolysate and had an $IC_{50}$ value of 3.8 ${\mu}g$/mL. The primary structure of the fragment is now being studied; this peptide represents an interesting new type of ACE inhibitor and will provide knowledge of the potential applications of jellyfish components as therapies for hypertension.

도로교통 소음은 주요 민원의 대상이 되고 있다. 다공성 포장은 도로교통 소음에 효과적인 방안으로 제안되었지만 정량적인 평가의 부족으로 인해 많이 적용되지는 않았다. 본 연구에서는 단층 다공성 포장과 복층 다공성 포장의 소음저감 성능을 평가하였다. 소음은 CPX 방법으로 측정되었으며, 주행 속도는 50km/h부터 80km/h까지 10km/h마다 측정하였다. 분석을 통해 복층 다공성 포장과 단층 다공성 포장의 소음 수준은 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 나타내었다. 도로포장 소음수준은 포장 유형에 관계없이 주행 속도에 비례했으며, 주행 속도는 두 포장의 소음 차이에 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 복층 다공성 포장은 단층 다공성 포장에 비해 평균 6.6dB (A), 95% 신뢰수준에서 6.3dB(A) 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 도로교통 소음을 5dB(A) 저감한다는 것은 교통량을 1/3로 줄이거나 차량의 속도를 1/2로 낮추는 것에 상당한다. 감각적으로도 3dB(A)의 차이에서 변화의 인지가 가능하고 5dB(A)의 차이에서는 명확한 변화인지가 가능하다. 일반포장에 비해 3dB(A)의 교통소음을 저감하는 단층 다공성 포장보다도 6dB(A) 이상을 추가로 저감하는 복층 다공성 포장은 교통소음 저감에 매우 효과적인 공법이다.

The research reviews three experimental designs which include Split Plot Design (SPD), Crossover Design (CD) and Replicated Design (RD) by using Latin Square Design (LSD). SPD (CRD, LSD) and SPD (LSD, RCBD) that are derived from (S:A)${\times}B{\times}C{\times}D$ and $A{\times}B{\times}C{\times}D$. In addition, (S:A)${\times}B{\times}C$, (S:A)${\times}C{\times}D$ and (S:A)${\times}B{\times}C{\times}D$ can be used to generate various LSD and CD models. Finally, Replicated LSDs are considered to increase the power of detectability.

Industrial facilities need design to predict and reduce noise from design to prevent and reduce noise. The purpose of this study is to predict worker's environment and evaluate safety by analyzing noise inside underground blower room and air compressor room with fluid machinery in waste facility. This waste incineration facility was analyzed based on the ground floor, ground floor blower chamber, and air compressor chamber. The results of SPL(Sound Pressure Level) analysis at 1.5m away, which are frequently used to measure the SPL as a noise source, are as follows. SPL of basement level: 46.80[dB], SPL of ground layer: 48.57[dB]. As a result, it was expected that the noise level would be considerably lower than the 8 hours 50[dB] noise exposure per day.

Previously, our research group isolated Bifidobacterium breve IDCC4401 from infant feces as a potential probiotic. For this study, we evaluated the safety of B. breve IDCC4401 using genomic and phenotypic analyses. Whole genome sequencing was performed to identify genomic characteristics and investigate the potential presence of genes encoding virulence, antibiotic resistance, and mobile genetic elements. Phenotypic analyses including antibiotic susceptibility, enzyme activity, production of biogenic amines (BAs), and proportion of D-/L-lactate were evaluated using E-test, API ZYM test, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and D-/L-lactic acid assay respectively. The genome of B. breve IDCC4401 consists of 2,426,499 bp with a GC content of 58.70% and 2,016 coding regions. Confirmation of the genome as B. breve was provided by its 98.93% similarity with B. breve DSM20213. Furthermore, B. breve IDCC4401 genes encoding virulence and antibiotic resistance were not identified. Although B. breve IDCC4401 showed antibiotic resistance against vancomycin, we confirmed that this was an intrinsic feature since the antibiotic resistance gene was not present. B. breve IDCC4401 showed leucine arylamidase, cystine arylamidase, α-galactosidase, β-galactosidase, and α-glucosidase activities, whereas it did not show production of harmful enzymes such as β-glucosidase and β-glucuronidase. In addition, B. breve IDCC4401 did not produce any tyramine, histamine, putrescine, cadaverine, or 2-phenethylamine, which are frequently detected BAs during fermentation. B. breve IDCC4401 produced 95.08% of L-lactate and 4.92% of D-lactate. Therefore, our findings demonstrate the safety of B. breve IDCC 4401 as a potential probiotic for use in the food industry.

Fiber-reinforced composite materials with carbon, glass, and aramid fibers are widely applied to industrial field structures due to their excellent properties. However, carbon fibers are vulnerable to external impacts, whereas aramid fibers degrade when exposed to water. This study evaluated carbon/aramid fiber composites degraded and damaged by high-temperature saline environments using acoustic emission (AE). The test specimen was molded using an autoclave and immersed in seawater at 70 ℃ for 224 days. In order to imitate the damage, a 3-mm-diameter hole was drilled using a diamond drill. Additionally, the specimen with the perforation was repaired by patch attachment processing. Three-point bending was used to conduct the flexural experiment, and an AE sensor with a 150-kHz resonance frequency was attached to evaluate the damage and the effect of patch attachment. AE accumulative counts obtained at the maximum load were 69.2, 67.1, and 91.2 for a high-temperature seawater deteriorated condition, a hole specimen, and a repaired patch specimen, respectively. Furthermore, the maximum amplitude of AE was detected at low values of 28 dB, 31.3 dB, and 30.3 dB.

재난안전망에 소형의 이동무선통신망을 보조적으로 사용하면 소규모의 전파 음영지역 해소, 재난지역의 트래픽 과부하 해소 그리고 접근이 어려운 지역에서 신속하게 재난통신망을 구축하는데 유용하게 활용할 수 있다. 휴대형 이동기지국은 소형의 이동무선망을 구축하는데 필요하며, TVWS(TV White Space)를 활용하는 이동형 기지국은 전파의 활용과 무선망의 구축비용 측면에서 효과적이다. 논문에서는 TVWS에서 동작하는 이동기지국용 전력증폭기를 설계 및 구현하였다. 구현한 전력증폭기는 TV대역인 470 ~ 698MHz에서 동작하며, 이득은 20.1dB 이상, 입출력 반사손실은 11.4dB 이상, 출력을 off 하였을 때 격리도는 39.9dB 이상이었다. 전력증폭기의 IMD(Intermodulation Distortion) 특성은 470MHz에서 18.8dBm을 출력할 때 61.0dBc, 550MHz에서 18.6dBm 출력시 59.3dBc 그리고 690MHz에서 19.0dBm 출력시 56.5dBc의 특성을 갖는다. 본 논문에서 구현한 전력증폭기는 국내 전파법 규정을 만족하므로 이동 기지국용 전력증폭기로 사용할 수 있다.
