Let (B, $m_B$, ${\kappa}$) be a maximal commutative ${\kappa}$-subalgebra of a matrix algebra $M_n(\kappa)$. We will construct a maximal commutative ${\kappa}$-subalgebra (R, $m$, ${\kappa}$) of $M_n+3(\kappa)$ from the algebra B such that the algebra R has dimension greater than the dimension of B by 3. Moreover, we will show a $C_i$-construction doesn't imply a $C^3_2$-construction for $i=1,2$.

In this study, we investigated a life cycle assessment (LCA) of six roof-waterproofing systems [asphalt (C1), synthetic polymer-based sheet (C2), improved asphalt (C3), liquid applied membrane (C4), Metal sheet with asphalt sheet (N1), and liquid applied membrane with asphalt sheet (N2)]for reinforced concrete building using an architectural model. To acquire accurate and realistic LCA results, minimum units of material compositions for life cycle inventory and real data for compositions of waterproofing materials were used. Considering only materials and energy demands for waterproofing systems per square meter, higher greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions could be generated in the order of C1 > N2 > C4 > N1 > C2 > C3 during construction phase. However, the order was changed to C1 > C4 > C3 > N2 > N1 > C2, when the actual architecture model was applied to the roof based on each specifications. When an entire life cycle including construction, maintenance, and deconstruction were considered, the amount of GHG emission was in the order of C4 > C1 > C3 > N2 > C2 > N1. Consequently, N1 was the most environmental-friendly waterproofing system producing the lowest GHG emission. GHG emissions from maintenance phase accounted for 71.4%~78.3% among whole life cycle.

This study forecasts changes in thermal environment and microclimate change per new building construction and assignment of green space in urban area using Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD) simulation. The analysis studies temperature, humidity and wind speed changes in 4 different given conditions that each reflects; 1) new building construction; 2) no new building construction; 3) green spaces; and 4) no green spaces. Daily average wind speed change is studied to be; Case 2(2.3 m/s) > Case 3. The result of daily average temperate change are; Case 3($26.5^{\circ}C$) > Case 4($24.6^{\circ}C$) > Case 2($23.9^{\circ}C$). This result depicts average of $2.5^{\circ}C$ temperature rise post new building construction, and decrease of approximately $1.8^{\circ}C$ when green space is provided. Daily average absolute humidity change is analysed to be; Case 3(15.8 g/kg') > Case 4(14.1 g/kg') > Case 2(13.5 g/kg'). This also reveals that when no green spaces is provided, 2.3 g/kg' of humidity change occurs, and when green space is provided, 0.6 g/kg change occurnd 4(1.8 m/s), which leads to a conclusion that daily average wind velocity is reduced by 0.5 m/s per new building construction in a building complex.

To evaluate the ability of the submerged plant, Ceratophyllum demersum's (C. demersum) to remove nutrients and to inhibit growth of cyanobacteria, a total of 6 mesocosms were conducted in a batch reactor for 9 days. From the 84 hr of the experiment, C. demersum was stabilized and showed daily cycle trends according to changes in pH and DO levels. The concentration of nutrients, $NH_3{^+}$, $NO_3{^-}$ and $PO_4{^3}$ continuously decreased until 9 days of the experiment, with the rapid decrease in nutrient concentration for the first 24 hours. High correlation coefficient ($r^2{\geq}0.96$, p<0.001) between the amount of C. demersum's biomass per unit area and the nutrients removal level were derived, and greater C. demersum's biomass per unit area showed higher removal efficiency of nutrients. However, there were differences in the C. demersum's activity level between batch reactors with higher and similar density of the C. demersum, but nonetheless water purification effect appears to have a significant influence due to attached algae and microorganisms. The growth rate of harmful cyanobacteria, Microcystis aeruginosa (M. aeruginosa) with C. demersum's density of 2,500 g $fw/m^2$ (100% of cover degree) was 0.31 /day, compared to the growth rate of 0.47 /day for the control group (0% of cover degree). In terms of number of cells, the control group had 1.7 times higher number of cells than the experimental group, proving that C. demersum has the ability to inhibit the growth of harmful cyanobacteria.

Over about 30% of problems in construction is related to water-leaking, and the loss from this problem can incur as much as three times the cost of initial construction. Thus, water vapor pressure is known to be the primary cause of defective waterproofing. Accordingly, the theories on the relationship between water pressure and temperature as well as damp-proofing volume of concrete and the change in vapor pressure volume were reviewed and analyzed in this study by making test samples after spraying a dampness remover and applying waterproofing materials to the prepared test specimens. The result of measuring water vapor pressure with the surface temperature of the waterproofing (fluid-applied membrane) layer at the experimental temperature setting of about $10^{\circ}C$, which is the annual average temperature of Seoul, indicated that (1) the temperature of the fluid-applied membrane elevated to about $40^{\circ}C$, and the water vapor pressure generated from the fluid-applied membrane was about 0.03 N/mm 2 when the surface temperature of the waterproofing layer was raised to about $80^{\circ}C$. (2) when the temperature of the fluid-applied membrane of the waterproofing layer was raised from $30^{\circ}C$ to $35^{\circ}C$, water vapor pressure of about 0.01 N/mm 2 was generated, and (3) when a thermal source was applied to the fluid-applied membrane (waterproofing) layer, the temperature increased from $35^{\circ}C$ to $40^{\circ}C$, and approximately $0.005\;N/mm^2$ of water vapor pressure was generated.

TAP system, a kind of natural convective space heating collector, has a good heat loss by night. The aim of this paper is to induce and to study an hourly heat flow theory by response factors analysis with TAP in inside and outside insulated construction, to compare and evaluate on thermal performance an hourly natural temperature, heated room temperature and heating load in aboved-mention constructions with computer simulation. The results of the study can be summarized as follows. According that there is no TAP and with TAP, it is inside insulated construction and outside insulated construction, daily natural range of temperature each shows $12.5^{\circ}C$ and $16.7^{\circ}C$, $2.7^{\circ}C$ and $3.7^{\circ}C$, daily heated range of temperature with noramal control heating system each shows $6.6^{\circ}C$ and $12.1^{\circ}C$, $1.7^{\circ}C$ and $3.1^{\circ}C$, heating hours each show 10 hr and 7 hr, 9 hr and 4 hr and heating energy saving percentage in january 123% and 79%, 100% and 40%. Therefore, energy saving percentage shows that outside insulated construction saves about 54% in comparision with inside insulated construction.

When the cement paste in concrete is exposed to high temperatures, the mechanical performance decreases due to a series of reactions inside the cement. In this study, we investigated the change of nanostructure of $C_3S$ when $C_3S$ was exposed to high temperature using pair distribution function (PDF) based on high energy X-ray scattering. As a result of X-ray diffraction, there was no significant difference when $C_3S$ was heated at $300^{\circ}C$, but most of $Ca(OH)_2$ was decomposed into CaO at $500^{\circ}C$. In addition, it was confirmed that CaO is dominant in the nanostructure when $C_3S$ is heated to $500^{\circ}C$.

In this study, the application results of high volume fly ash concrete(HVFAC) on the construction site were reported. The structures were the mat foundations of 3m and 2m thickness with design strength of 40MPa. The replacement ratio of fly ash was 50%, and the pre-mix type binder was used. As a result, it appeared that the temperature increases of concrete foundations were about $39^{\circ}$C for 3m thickness and $36^{\circ}$C for 2m thickness.

γ-C₂S is known as a kind of substance that it does not react with water at room temperature. However it could react with the CO₂ producing CaCO₃ and silica gel as the carbonation products. Thus γ-C₂S can be used as a mineral addition to improve the compressive strength and durability of concrete. On the other hand, the manufacture of γ-C₂S can give an effective utilization of industrial by-product with low energy consumption and low CO₂ emission. This paper aims to summarize the development situation on this field.
