Electric vehicles (EVs) are spreading rapidly and many counties are promoting hybrid and fully EVs through legislation. Therefore, an increasing amount of lithium ion batteries will reach the end of their usable life and will require effective and sustainable end-of-life management plan which include landfill disposal or incineration. The current research focuses on more sustainable methods such as remanufacturing, reuse and recycling in order to prepare for future battery compositions and provide insights to the need recycling methods to be developed to handle large amounts of batteries sustainably in the near future. The two most prominent material recovery techniques are hydrometallurgy and pyrometallurgy which are explored and assessed on their relative effectiveness, sustainability, and feasibility. Hydrometallurgy is a superior recycling method due to high material recovery and purity, very low emissions, high prevalence of chemical reuse and implementation of environmentally sustainable compounds. Expanding recycling technologies globally should take the research and technologies pioneered by Umicore to establish a sustainable recycling program for end-of-life EVs batteries. Emerging battery technology of Telsa show the most effective designs for high performance batteries includes the use of silicon which is expected to increase capacity of batteries in the future.

This paper is purposed to develop an leakage current detecting system(LCDS) which can prevent electrical fires on breaker capacity expansion as well as ruptures of XL(Extra long) pipelines and power failure by operation of ELB(Earth leakage breaker) at auto water machine in winter. In order to develop LCDS, this paper studied field state investigation, field state experiment, development of leakage alarm system and verification experiments. Field states investigation at livestock companies(10 companies) in cheong-won location to deduce the problems of auto water machine is analyzed. The field state experiment is conducted at B livestock company in cheong won location. The field state experiment method is measured with leakage current when ELB tripped by environment factor(fine, cloudy, and rainy day). The LCDS is developed as MCU(Micro Control Unit) part applied leakage current values at B livestock company. Verification experiments for the leakage current detecting system were conducted by two methods of current supply and field test. Results show that LCDS suggested in this paper are valuable and usable in auto water machine based on environment factor, which will prevent severe damage to human beings and properties and reduce the electrical fires in livestock.

여러 배터리 셀을 직렬로 연결해서 사용하는 BMS에서 사용 가능 용량을 최대화시키기 위하여 각 셀의 전압을 같도록 맞춰주는 셀 밸런싱 기술이 필요하다. 다중 권선 변압기를 사용하는 능동 셀 밸런싱 회로에서 셀 간 직접적 (direct cell-to-cell)으로 에너지를 전달하는 밸런싱 회로는 PMOS 스위치와 NMOS 스위치를 구동하기 위한 게이트 구동 칩은 PMOS 스위치와 NMOS 스위치 개수 만큼 TLP2748 포토커플러(photocoupler)와 TLP2745 포토커플러가 필요하므로 원가가 증가하고 집적도가 떨어진다. 그래서 본 논문에서는 포토커플러를 사용하여 PMOS와 NMOS 스위칭소자를 구동하는 대신 70V BCD 공정기반의 PMOS 게이트 구동회로와 NMOS 게이트 구동회로, 스위칭 시간이 개선된 PMOS 게이트 구동회로와 NMOS 게이트 구동회로를 제안하였다. 스위칭 시간이 개선된 PMOS 게이트 구동 스위치의 ${\Delta}t$는 8.9ns이고, NMOS 게이트 구동 스위치의 ${\Delta}t$는 9.9ns로 양호한 결과를 얻었다.

퇴적층과 암반층이 층상구조로 되어있는 지반의 층상암반층 위에 말뚝기초를 설계할 경우, 연직하중에 대한 지지암반의 파괴모드(휨파괴, 펀칭전단파괴 혹은 선단지지파괴)를 검토하고 지지력을 계산하기 위해서는 층상지지암반층의 구조해석이 필요하다. 그러나 ACI committee 436과 우리나라 구조물기초설계기준에서 제안하고 있는 기존의 이용 가능한 탄성평판해석법(Elastic Plate Analysis Method)은 매우 복잡하여 기술자가 이용하는데 어려움이 많다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 복잡한 탄성평판해석법 대신 비교적 간단한 원형기초해석법(Circular Foundation Analysis Method)을 이용할 수 있도록 등가유효폭(반경)의 개념과 식을 제시하였고, 이를 통하여 탄성평판해석에 의한 모멘트와 전단력이 원형평판해석의 결과와 같도록 관계식을 제안하였다. 그 결과 등가유효폭을 이용한 원형기초해석의 방법은 매우 단순하고 편리하였고, 제안된 방법에 의한 결과를 탄성평판해석과 유한요소해석 결과와 비교한 결과 매우 잘 일치하였다.

The principal objectives of this study were to evaluate the space, equipment, and institution rate by functional area, and to suggest appropriate types, numbers, and equipment capacity by school foodservice size for optimal employee job performance and efficiency. Data were collected and administered by 263 dietitians who attended elementary and middle schools in Gyeonggi Province, and the data were analyzed using SPSS statistical software. Among a total of 72 respondents who provided usable data, 31 (48.6%) respondents were nutrition teachers and 37 (51.4%) were part-time dietitians. The majority of the respondents reported that their foodservices were self-operating types (94.4%), and 8 meals out of 10 meals provided over a 2-week period were served as normal meals, defined as meals consisting of Bab, Kook, Kimchi, and 3 side dishes (73.6%). The mean kitchen space was $186.25\;m^2$ for 500 meals/day, $269.7\;m^2$ for 501 to 1,000 meals/day, $249.1\;m^2$ for 1001 to 1500 meals/day, and $274.87\;m^2$ for 1,500 or more meals/day. The mean space of functional areas was $11.52\;m^2$ for office, $12.63\;m^2$ for storeroom, $9.55\;m^2$ for receiving area, $27.23\;m^2$ for pre-preparation area, $149.9\;m^2$ for cooking area, $18.33\;m^2$ for assembly/service area, $45.50\;m^2$ for dishwashing area, and $17.20\;m^2$ for locker room. Only two pre-preparation and cooking spaces increased significantly with increasing size of school foodservice (p<0.05). Office, cooking area, and locker room were allocated in all foodservices. However, the pre-preparation area (68.7%), receiving area (56.5%), assembly/service area (38.1%), and dishwashing area (37.7%) were lowly installed in the surveyed facilities. Through a focus group meeting discussing the results of this study, appropriate equipment and its dimensions were suggested according to functional areas and foodservice scales. Future studies will be necessary to allocate the appropriate space by functional area with the proposed equipment requirements for optimally efficient decision making in equipment purchasing.

토양수분함량이 묘삼의 생육특성 및 수량에 미치는 영향을 구명하기 위해 비가림 시설하우스에서 토양수분을 $100{\sim}400$mbar 수준으로 조절하여 시험한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 광합성량은 토양수분의 감소에 따라 차차 감소되었는데, 토양수분이 매우 적은 조건에서는 뚜렷이 감소되었다. 2. 광합성량은 $25^{\circ}C$보다 $30^{\circ}C$에서 뚜렷이 감소되었으며, 광포화점은 온도에 따라 차이를 보여 $25^{\circ}C$에서는 약 $600{\mu}mol/m^2/s$로 높았으나 $30^{\circ}C$에서는 약 $300{\mu}mol/m^2/s$로. 낮아졌다. 3. 증산량은 광량이 증가할수록 증가하고 토양수분이 감소할수록 감소되었는데, 토양수분이 많았던 처리에서는 온도에 관계없이 고광조건에서 증산량이 매우 많았으나 $30^{\circ}C$의 고온과 400 mbar의 낮은 토양수분 조건에서는 상대적으로 큰 폭의 감소를 보였다. 4. 엽장, 엽폭, 엽록소함량 및 잎의 수분함량은 토양수분의 감소에 따라 차차 감소되었으며, 고온장해율은 토양수분이 감소될수록 뚜렷이 증가되었다. 5. 총근중, 주당근중 및 본포에 이식이 가능한 묘삼의 수량성은 토양수분의 감소에 따라 뚜렷이 감소되어 묘삼생산에 적합한 토양수분함량은 용수량의 63% (절대수분함량 18.9%) 수준이었다.
