The cultured stain fungus isolated firstly from discolored wood of Pinus rigida was inoculated on wood blocks to investigate the invading pathway of the fungus. The inoculated fungus rapidly colonized in the ray parenchyma and moved radially along them. In process of time the fungus penetrated tracheids where it started to move into vertical direction. After 90 days the fungus colonized all over the wood tissue, therefore some cell lumens were filled with full of hyphae. In addition methanol extracts did not affect the invading pathway of the stain fungus.

The wall thinning phenomenon of pipes was simulated as metal loss due to erosion and corrosion. Such wall thinning defects in the pipes of power plants are a very important safety consideration. In this study, we analyzed wall thinning defects that occurred by weld bead of weld zone of boost pump recirculation pipe. From the results of the analysis of pipe failures, numerical analysis was performed by Fluent v6.3.26 using the standard k-$\varepsilon$ model of the weld bead shape, such as an elliptical or a spherical shape, on the inner wall of the pipe. Using the results obtained, we showed the overlap effect by cavitations corrosion and erosion-corrosion at the bottom of the wall-thinning defect.

The five classes of the thermally aged CF8M specimen are prepared using an artificially accelerated aging method. Namely, after the specimens are held for 100, 300, 900, 1800, and 3600hrs at 430$^{\circ}C$ respectively, the specimens are water-cooled to room temperature. The impact energy variations are measures for both the aged and virgin specimens through the Charpy impact tests in addition to the microstructure observation, tensile, hardness and fatigue crack growth tests. From the present investigation the following results are obtained : 1) The difference among the thermally degraded specimens can be distinguished through their microstructures, 2) Hardness and tensile strength are increased to 300hrs, degradation specimen, while elongation and reduction area are decreased to 3600hrs degradation specimen, and impact energy is decreased to 1800hrs degradation specimen, 3) The FCG rates for thermally degraded specimens are larger than that of the virgin specimen.

Composition of fungal communities in three microhabitats such as soil, rhizosphere and rhizoplane were studied to understand the root environment of healthy and diseased plants in Phytophthora non-infested and infested fields, respectively. Samples were collected from the tomato- and red pepper-growing greenhouses in Kyungsang-Nam Province on April, 1999. Twenty-five species were isolated from each vegetation field using the dilution plate technique. There were a greater variety of species in infested fields than non-infested and in soils than in both rhizospheres and rhizoplanes. The number of species isolated were varied amongst the different microhabitats. A Trichoderma species was isolated only from non-infested fields.

The experiment was done to clarify the effect of keeping material and storage temperature on weight and quality of Chinese yam (Dioscorea opposita) tuber. After the yam tubers were placed into the plastic boxes filled with different keeping materials [polyethylene (PE) film, hull, soil, sand, vermiculite], they were stored under different storage temperature(room, cold) from Oct. 15 to Mar. 15 when all the characters related to the tubers were measured. Soil or PE film as keeping materials was the lowest sound tuber rate when stored at room or cold temperature, respectively, while vermiculite was the highest in both storage temperature. When PE film and vermiculite in both storage temperatures were used as keeping materials, tuber weight were less reduced than the others. Brightness of chromaticity and moisture content were lower in room temperature storage than in cold temperature storage although the characteristics related to marketability were not affected by storage temperature. PE film had greater brightness and value 'a' of chromaticity but lower its 'b' value in the latter temperature than in the former temperature. Vermiculite, however, did the reverse result in comparison with PE film.

1990년 이후 우리나라를 둘러싼 동북아시아를 비롯하여 동남아시아의 도시에 이르기까지 지진, 태풍, 쓰나미 등의 환경재해가 빈발하고 있는 상황이다. 또한 최근 아이티, 칠레에서의 지진 발생뿐만 아니라 국내 수도권에서도 지진이 발생하여 자연지해에 대한 우려가 많아지고 있다. 현대의 건축물들은 다양한 자연재해로부터 취약할 수밖에 없으므로, 이를 최대한 빠르게 확인하여 경보하는 것만이 인명 및 재산의 피해를 최소화할 수 있는 방법이다. 본 연구에서는 구조물 건전성 진단을 위한 통합 모니터링 시스템에 대하여 소개한다. PDA나 스마트폰을 갖고 있는 관리자는 실시간으로 통합 모니터링 시스템에 접근하여, 해당 구조물의 상태를 확인함으로써 피해 상황을 파악한다. 시설물 유지 관리자에게 건전성 유무를 판단할 자료를 실시간으로 제공하는 것은 조기대응으로 인한 현재의 피해를 최소화할 수 있으며, 추후 발생할 수 있는 추가적인 피해를 예방할 수 있는 장점이 있다.

The deep geological repository for high-level radioactive waste disposal is a multi barrier system comprised of engineered barriers and a natural barrier. The long-term integrity of the deep geological repository is affected by the coupled interactions between the individual barrier components. Erosion and piping phenomena in the compacted bentonite buffer due to buffer-rock interactions results in the removal of bentonite particles via groundwater flow and can negatively impact the integrity and performance of the buffer. Rapid groundwater inflow at the early stages of disposal can lead to piping in the bentonite buffer due to the buildup of pore water pressure. The physiochemical processes between the bentonite buffer and groundwater lead to bentonite swelling and gelation, resulting in bentonite erosion from the buffer surface. Hence, the evaluation of erosion and piping occurrence and its effects on the integrity of the bentonite buffer is crucial in determining the long-term integrity of the deep geological repository. Previous studies on bentonite erosion and piping failed to consider the complex coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical-chemical behavior of bentonite-groundwater interactions and lacked a comprehensive model that can consider the complex phenomena observed from the experimental tests. In this technical note, previous studies on the mechanisms, lab-scale experiments and numerical modeling of bentonite buffer erosion and piping are introduced, and the future expected challenges in the investigation of bentonite buffer erosion and piping are summarized.
