In our previous study [14], we found that heat-shock exposure did not stimulate the neutral trehalase activity in Sacchromyces cerevisiae KNU5377, but did in ATCC24858. Consequently, the trehalose content in KNU5377 became 2.6 times higher than that in ATCC24858. Because trehalose has been shown to stabilize the structure and function of some macromolecules, the present work was focused to elucidate the relationship between trehalose content of these strains and thermal stabilities of whole cells, through differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and to predict critical targets calculated from the hyperthermic cell killing rates. These analyses showed that the prominent DSC transition of both strains gave identical $T_m$ (transition temperature) values in exponentially growing cells, and that the $T_m$ values of critical targets was about $3^{\circ}C$ higher in KNU5377 than in ATCC24858. Both heat-shocked KNU5377 and ATCC24858 cells displayed similar shifts in their DSC transition profiles. On the other hand, the $T_m$ value of the critical target of KNU5377 was decreased by $2.1^{\circ}C$, which was still higher than ATCC24858 showing no changes. In view of these results, the intrinsic thermotolerance of KNU5377 did not appear to result from the stability of entire cellular components, but rather possibly from that of particular macromolecules, including critical targets, even though it should be investigated in more details. Although the trehalose levels in heat-shocked cells are significantly different, as described in our previous study [14], the overall pattern of thermal stabilities and their predicted critical targets in two heat-shocked strains seemed to be identical. These data suggest that the trehalose levels examined before and after heat shock of exponentially growing cells are not closely correlated with the stabilities of whole cells and/or critical targets in both yeast strains.

컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 프로그램인 ENVI-met을 활용하여 여름철 도로 방향과 가로수 식재형태에 따른 도시공간의 열환경 개선 효과를 분석하였다. 수목 식재 시 낮 시간 동안의 기온과 풍속은 감소하고 상대습도는 증가하였다. 평균복사온도와 인간 열환경지수 PET(physiological equivalent temperature), UTCI(universal thermal climate index)는 수목 식재 시 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 수목 식재 시 가장 큰 변화를 보인 기상요소는 평균복사온도로, PET와 UTCI 변화량 또한 평균복사온도와 유사한 패턴을 보였다. 가장 큰 저감효과를 보인 수목식재방법은 수고가 낮고, 수관폭이 넓고, 엽면적지수가 높은 수목을 좁은 간격으로 식재하는 시나리오(LWDN)였다. 평균복사온도, PET, UTCI는 태양의 고도 및 방위와 건물의 위치에 따른 그림자 형성 조건에 따라 큰 차이를 보였으며, 건물에 의한 태양복사에너지 차단이 클수록 수목에 의한 영향이 줄어들었다. 특히, 동측과 서측 보도에서는 시간대별 저감량에서 큰 차이를 보였다. 가장 저감효과가 큰 수목식재 시나리오인 LWDN으로 식재하였을 때 서측 방면에 위치한 북서, 서, 남서측 보도는 오전 시간대인 10:00에 수목이 없는 경우에 비해 PET 8.6-12.3℃, UTCI 4.2-4.5℃, 동측 방면에 위치한 북동, 동, 남동측 보도는 오후 시간대인 16:00에 PET 8.1-11.8℃, UTCI 4.4-5.0℃로 큰 저감효과를 보였다. 반면, 가장 저감효과가 적었던 수고가 높고, 수관폭이 좁으며, 엽면적지수가 낮은 수목을 넓은 간격으로 식재하였을 때 최대 저감량은 동측 방면 보도에서 PET 1.8℃, UTCI 0.9℃ 이하, 서측 방면 보도에서 PET 3℃, UTCI 0.9℃ 이하로 적은 저감효과를 보였다. 또한, 건물에 의한 영향으로 인해 수목영향이 적은 시간대에는 수목식재 시나리오 간 평균복사온도, PET, UTCI 저감효과의 차이가 크지 않았다. 이 연구결과는 가로수 식재 시 여름철 도시 열환경 저감을 위한 모델 개발에 기초자료로서 활용가능할 것이다.

지역난방은 국내에 1985년 처음 도입되었다. 지하 열배관망의 사용연한이 30년 이상 증가함에 따라, 지하에 매설된 열수송 배관 특성상 유지관리가 중요한 문제로 대두되고 있다. 노후화가 진행된 열배관망 유지보수를 위한 정기적인 점검, 운영관리 시 다양한 복합 기술이 필요하다. 특히 현장에서 경제적 관점에서 최적 유지보수 및 교체시점을 도출하기 위하여 의사결정에 활용될 수 있는 모형개발이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 한국지역난방공사 수도권 5개 지사열 배관망 운영 시 보수이력과 사고성 데이터를 바탕으로 분석하였다. 정성적 분석과 이항 로지스틱 회귀분석의 통계적 기법을 도입하여 파손확률 모델을 개발하였다. 보수이력 및 사고성 자료의 정성적 분석 결과, 파이프라인 손상의 가장 중요한 원인으로 건설 시공불량, 배관의 부식과 자재 불량이 전체의 약 82%를 차지했다. 통계 모델 분석에서는 분류의 분리 점을 0.25로 설정함으로써 열배관 파손 및 비 파손 분류의 정확도가 73.5%로 향상 되었다. 파손확률 모델 수립을 위해 Hosmer와 Lemeshow 검정과 독립변수의 유의성 검정, 모델의 Chi-Square 검정을 통해 모델의 적합성을 검증 하였다. 열배관망 파손의 위험순위 분석결과에 따르면 파손확률을 가장 높이는 경우는 겨울철 서울지역 자동차 도로에 있는 10년 이상 된 250mm이하 배관 Reducer에서 F 건설회사가 시공했던 열배관망으로 분석되었다. 본 연구결과는 열배관망 시스템의 유지관리 및 예방점검, 교체 사업 우선순위를 정할 때 활용 가능하다. 또한 이를 통하여 점검 유지보수 등 사전에 사고예방 계획을 수립하여 대처함으로써 열배관 파손의 빈도를 감소시키고 보다 적극적인 열배관망 관리에 이용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Purpose: This study was carried out to develop a classification index and grade levels to rate agricultural heaters for energy efficiency classification. Methods: The classification index was developed mainly by taking simplicity of calculation and easy access to relevant data into consideration. The grade levels were developed on the basis of a 5-grade classification system in which graded heaters are to be normally distributed over the grades. The value of each grade level were determined in terms of the classification index values calculated using the published performance data of agricultural heaters tested at the FACT in Korea over the past 12 years. Results: The thermal efficiency of agricultural heaters based on the enthalpy method was proposed as a reasonable classification index. The grade levels were proposed in equation form for three types of agricultural heaters: fossil fuel heaters, wood pellet heaters and wood pellet boilers. A reasonable energy efficiency classification of agricultural heaters could be performed using the proposed classification index and grade levels. Conclusions: It is expected that energy saving programs will be extended to agricultural machines in the near future. The classification index and grade levels to rate agricultural heaters for energy efficiency classification were developed and proposed for such near future to come.

Background: Panax stipuleanatus represents a folk medicine for treatment of inflammation. However, lack of experimental data does not confirm its function. This article aims to investigate the analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities of triterpenoid saponins isolated from P. stipuleanatus. Methods: The chemical characterization of P. stipuleanatus allowed the identification and quantitation of two major compounds. Analgesic effects of triterpenoid saponins were evaluated in two models of thermal- and chemical-stimulated acute pain. Anti-inflammatory effects of triterpenoid saponins were also evaluated using four models of acetic acid-induced vascular permeability, xylene-induced ear edema, carrageenan-induced paw edema, and cotton pellet-induced granuloma in mice. Results: Two triterpenoid saponins of stipuleanosides R₁ (SP-R₁) and R₂ (SP-R₂) were isolated and identified from P. stipuleanatus. The results showed that SP-R₁ and SP-R₂ significantly increased the latency time to thermal pain in the hot plate test and reduced the writhing response in the acetic acid-induced writhing test. SP-R₁ and SP-R₂ caused a significant decrease in vascular permeability, ear edema, paw edema, and granuloma formation in inflammatory models. Further studies showed that the levels of inflammatory mediators, nitric oxide, malondialdehyde, tumor necrosis factor-α, and interleukin 6 in paw tissues were downregulated by SP-R₁ and SP-R₂. In addition, the rational harvest of three- to five-year-old P. stipuleanatus was preferable to obtain a higher level of triterpenoid saponins. SP-R₂ showed the highest content in P. stipuleanatus, which had potential as a chemical marker for quality control of P. stipuleanatus. Conclusion: This study provides important basic information about utilization of P. stipuleanatus resources for production of active triterpenoid saponins.

A district heating(DH) system supplies environmentally-friend heat and is appropriate for reduction of energy consumption and/or air pollutions. The DH transmission pipe, composed of supply and return pipes, has been used to transmit the heat and prevent heat loss during transportation. The two types of pipes are operated at a temperature of $75\~115^{\circ}C\;and\;40\~65^{\circ}C$, respectively, with an operating pressure of less than 1.568MPa. The objectives of this paper are to systematize data processing of transition temperature and investigate its effects on fatigue life of DH pipes. For the sake of this, about 5 millions temperature data were measured during one year at ten locations, and then available fatigue lift estimation schemes were examined and applied to quantify the specific thermal fatigue life of each pipe. As a result, a relational database management system as well as reliable fatigue lift evaluation procedures is established for Korean DH pipes. Also, since the prototypal evaluation results satisfied both cycle-based and stress-based fatigue criteria, those can be used as useful information in the future fer optimal design, operation and energy saving via setting of efficient condition and stabilization of water temperature.

A simple and effective analysis method is presented for gaining a complete transient temperatures on the internal and external surfaces of a 40 mm gun tube subjected to a series of rapid firings. Two series of temperature data for both Hs and As were measured by using two rapid response k-type surface thermocouples near the firing origin and the muzzle. With other available temperature data, patterns of temperature variations of the gun tube as a function of time variable were driven through complete evaluations of the data. It is found that overall temperature gradients which increase exponentially toward saturation temperature, actually consist of a series of linear temperature gradients corresponding to the firing sequences. Under the similar firing sequences, patterns of temperature variations fur both the surface temperatures near the chamber and those near the muzzle were found to have linear temperature gradients with different values and the same response frequencies, i.e. they had peaks and lows in temperatures at the same time. The resultant complete temperature data can be used as the fundamental bases for analysis of thermoelastic properties of the materials such as thermal strain and stress, and f3r the prediction of cannon tube life-time through calculation of wear rate.
