급속한 산업발전과 인구증가, 생활 수준의 향상으로 영양염류를 포함한 하·폐수 발생량이 매년 증가하고 있다. 증가하는 하·폐수 발생량과 더불어 미처리 연계처리수(분뇨, 가축분뇨, 산업폐수, 침출수, 음폐수)또한 발생량이 증가하고 있고, 연계처리수 상당 수가 인근 하수처리장으로 연계하여 연계처리되고 있다. 연계처리수는 기존 유입하수와 비교했을 때 저유량 고농도의 특징을 가지고 있기때문에 하수처리장에서는 방류수 수질 악화, 처리량 증가, 오염부하 증가, 충격부하 또는 중금속 유입 등과 같은 많은 문제점을 가지게 된다. 이와같은 문제를 해결하기 위해서 하수처리장에 연계 유입되는 연계처리수의 양 및 수질 등의 조사가 필요하고, 하수처리에 미치는 영향등에 관한 연구가 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문은 연계처리수의 영향을 살펴보기 위해 4계절에 따른 수온조건을 고려했을 때 연계처리수의 영향 및 연계처리수 유입 유량 분배 등 영향인자를 고려하여 시나리오를 만들고 최적의 효율을 나타내는 조건을 분석하고자 한다.

This study analyzes the fuel conditions and environmental effects of converting heating in rural villages that rely on fossil fuels into wood fuel. In particular, we tried to derive the most important considerations when using wooden chips as fuel in aging agricultural villages where various variables such as weather, facility characteristics, fuel quality, and maintenance capabilities work. Above all, an experiment was conducted by comparing it with oak trees to determine whether Italian poplar, a representative attribute water created to supply fuel wood in Korea, is suitable for heating fuel. Through experiments, 1) Even though the supply of poplar wood chips during 10 hours of operation was 60.74 kg less than that of hardwood chips, the production of hot water was 140 kWh higher. 2) The higher the exhaust gas temperature, the proportional (increase) oxygen concentration and inversely (decrease) PM and CO emissions. 3) Poplar has twice as much ash content as hardwood and three times more fine dust has been detected, but it meets all the standards for wood quality at the Korea Forest Science Institute. 4) Under the condition that there is a difference in water content (7.7%), hardwood cost 1.13 times more wood chips per 1 MWh than poplar, and even if the water content is corrected equally, hardwood cost 1.05 times more per 1 MWh than poplar. 5) In conclusion, it was proved that the fuel possibility, economic possibility, and environmental possibility of poplar wood chips are sufficient.

Mugwort (Artemisia montana), which is a perennial plant mainly distributed throughout Northeast Asian regions, has been used as a preferred source of various foods and traditional medicines in Korea. In particular, as essential oils extracted from mugwort were reported to be biologically active, its steam distillate has been widely used to treat various conditions, such as itching, hemorrhoids, and gynecological inflammation. Therefore, efforts have been devoted to develop effective methods for the collection of bioactive essential oils from mugwort. In this study, five mugwort extracts were obtained using different extraction conditions, namely, 6 % ethanol at room temperature and at 80 ℃, pure ethanol, n-hexane, and an adsorbent resin. To evaluate the five extracts of mugwort, area-under-the-curve values (AUCs), chemical profiles, and major bioactive essential oil contents were investigated using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). An overall assessment of the volatile components, including essential oils, in the five extracts was conducted using AUCs, and the individual essential oil in each extract was identified. Furthermore, the four major essential oils (1,8-cineole, camphor, borneol, and α-terpineol), which are known to possess anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory activities, were quantified using authentic chemical standards. Based on the evaluation results, pure ethanol was the best extractant out of the five used in this study. This study provides evaluation results for the five different mugwort extracts and would be helpful for developing extraction methods to efficiently collect the bioactive oil components for medical purposes using chemical profiles of the extracts.

Reinforced concrete structures are exposed throughout their lifetime to the phenomenon of carbonation, which considerably influences their durability by causing corrosion of the reinforcements. The fight against this phenomenon is usually ensured by anti-carbonation coatings which have the possibility of limiting the permeability to carbon dioxide or with coatings which absorb the CO₂ present in the air. A coating with good crack-bridging (sealing) capacity will prevent water from entering through existing cracks in concrete. Despite the beneficial effect of these coatings, their durability decreases considerably over time with temperature and humidity. In order to use coatings made from local materials, not presenting any danger, available in abundance in our country, very economical and easy to operate is the main objective of this work. This paper aim is to contribute to the formulation of a corrected dune sand-based mortar as an anti-carbonation coating for concrete. The results obtained show that the cement mortar based on dune sand formulated has a very satisfactory compressive strength, a very low water porosity compared to ordinary cement mortar and that this mortar allows an improvement in the protection of the concrete against the carbonation of 60% compared to ordinary cement mortar based on alluvial sand. Moreover, the formulated cement mortars based on dune sand have good adhesion to the concrete support, their adhesion strengths are greater than 1.5MPa recommended by the standards.

Although many developed countries (USA, Canada, and several EU countries) allow raw milk cheese to be aged more than 60 days, these countries have strict standards for the aging conditions, such as temperature, of raw milk cheese. Spiking experiments were conducted with Camembert cheese made from raw milk, to assess the microbiological safety of raw milk cheese aged for more than 60 days. We spiked Escherichia coli O157:H7 into raw milk with different inoculation levels (high, medium, and low). Camembert cheese was prepared from the inoculated raw milk, then aged in an incubator for up to 9 weeks (63 days). There were no significant differences in pH and water activity (aW) between uninoculated cheese and cheese samples inoculated with E. coli O157:H7 (p<0.05). The pH and aWof the Camembert cheese decreased throughout the storage period. In conclusion, E. coli O157:H7 did not affect the pH and aW of the cheese samples. Cell counts were conducted every week using the agar-plating method. Inoculated cells were completely eliminated, especially in Camembert cheese, after 60 days, and the reduction rate of cells was much faster in Camembert cheese.

Space nuclear reactors are becoming popular in deep space exploration owing to their advantages of high-power density and stability. Following the fourth-generation nuclear reactor technology, a conceptual design of the dual drum-controlled space molten salt reactor (D²-SMSR) is proposed. The reactor concept uses molten salt as fuel and heat pipes for cooling. A new reactivity control strategy that combines control drums and safety drums was adopted. Critical physical characteristics such as neutron energy spectrum, neutron flux distribution, power distribution and burnup depth were calculated. Flow and heat transfer characteristics such as natural convection, velocity and temperature distribution of the D²-SMSR under low gravity conditions were analyzed. The reactivity control effect of the dual-drums strategy was evaluated. Results showed that the D²-SMSR with a fast spectrum could operate for 10 years at the full power of 40 kWth. The D²-SMSR has a high heat transfer coefficient between molten salt and heat pipe, which means that the core has a good heat-exchange performance. The new reactivity control strategy can achieve shutdown with one safety drum or three control drums, ensuring high-security standards. The present study can provide a theoretical reference for the design of space nuclear reactors.

This study was conducted to examine the microbiological quality indicators (total bacterial count and coliform count) and physicochemical quality indicators (pH, redness, volatile basic nitrogen [VBN] content) of meat according to various storage temperatures (-20~15℃) and packaging methods (wrap, vacuum). Based on these results, we proposed a safe consumption period. Redness, pH, and VBN content were not considered appropriate for setting the expiration date, as the redness and pH of the meat after spoilage were better than the standard values for both vacuum and wrap packaging (p<0.05). Additionally, the VBN content at 2 and 4℃ increased slightly (fresh level) until the initial time of spoilage (1.0×10⁶ colony-forming unit [CFU]/cm²) and then increased rapidly thereafter. Therefore, the results were not consistent with microbial spoilage. When the decay point was evaluated based on the presence of microorganisms, vacuum packaging extended the storage period approximately 2.5-fold when compared with wrap packaging, and the meat could be stored at 2 or 4℃ for 40 or 23 days, respectively. Therefore, to evaluate meat quality, microbial indicators should be considered first. The microbiological standards proposed in this study can be used for safety management during the distribution of meat. However, to ensure meat safety, additional investigations of appropriate indicators of freshness must be conducted.

저온 증착법으로 성장시킨 비정질 $Ge_{1-x}Mn_x$ 박막을 열처리하여 전기적, 자기적 특성을 연구하였다. 비정질 박막의 두께는 $1,000{\sim}5,000\;{\AA}$이고 비정질 $Ge_{1-x}Mn_x$ 박막을 고 진공 분위기 하에서 각각 $300^{\circ}C$, $400^{\circ}C$, $500^{\circ}C$, $600^{\circ}C$, $700^{\circ}C$ 온도에서 3분 동안 열처리 하였다. 원 시료의 $Ge_{1-x}Mn_x$ 박막을 X-선 회절로 분석해보면 비정질 구조를 보였지만 열처리를 함으로써 결정화되었다. 비정질 $Ge_{1-x}Mn_x$ 박막에서 결정화가 이루어진 온도는 Mn 농도에 따라 변화하였다. 비정질 $Ge_{1-x}Mn_x$ 박막은 p형 캐리어를 가지고 있고 열처리 동안에도 캐리어 형태는 변하지 않았다. 하지만, 전기 비저항은 열처리 온도가 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. 자기적 특성에서 원 시료의 비정질 $Ge_{1-x}Mn_x$ 박막은 강자성특성을 보이면서 큐리온도는 약 130 K 정도이다. 열처리한 $Ge_{1-x}Mn_x$ 박막의 큐리온도와 포화 자화값은 열처리 온도에 따라 증가한다. 자화거동과 X-선 분석을 통해 열처리한 $Ge_{1-x}Mn_x$ 박막에 전기적, 자기적 특성의 변화는 강자성 $Ge_3Mn_5$ 상이 형성되었음을 나타낸다.
