Drought is a major limiting factor in turfgrass management. Turfgrass responses to water deficit depend on the amount and the rate of water loss as well as the duration of the stress condition. This review paper was designed to understand responses such as photosynthesis, canopy spectral reflectance, plant cell, root, hormone and protein alteration when turfgrass got drought stress. Furthermore, mechanisms to recover from drought conditions were reviewed in detail. However, there are still many questions regarding plant adaptation to water deficit. It is not clear that the mechanism by which plants detect water deficit and transfer that signal into adaptive responses. Turfgrass research should focus on the best management practices such as how to enhance the ability of self-defense mechanism through understanding plant responses by environmental stress.

A two-dimensional mathematical model was developed to predict the temperature and moisture-content profiles of a tumble dryer during infrared drying. The model is based on the movements of liquid water and moisture in the object and on the fluid and heat transfer in the drying air. The model was solved by the finite volume analysis for the fluid, temperature, and radiation intensity fields. After deriving the governing equations and developing the two-dimensional tumble dryer models, numerical investigations were carried out to examine the effects of various parameters such as the heater temperature and the heating patterns on the drying mechanism of the tumble dryer. All the results show that the drying time can be reduced by using the IR heater.

The crisis of energy gives rise to the growing concerns over continuing uncertainty in the energy market. Under these circumstances, there are also increasing interests on coals. In particular, Low Rank Coal (LRC) is receiving gradual attentions from green industry. But due to is high moisture content range from 30 - 60%, drying process has to be preceded before being utilized as power plant. In this study drying kinetics of LRC is induced by using a fixed-bed reactor. The drying kinetics was evaluated in from of the particle size, the inlet gas temperature, the drying time, the gas velocity, and the LID ratio. The consideration of the reynold's number was taken for correction of gas velocity, particle size and LID was taken for correction of reactor diameter, packing height of coal. As being seen as characteristic of drying coal, it can be found that fixed-bed reactor can contributed to active drying of free water. In this sense, it could be considered that phase boundary reaction is appropriate mechanism.

Decrease of strength in composite material is generally caused by water absorption. It makes fracture of material, and loss of money or human lives. The objective of this study is to investigate the causes of decrease in strength by water absorption. Mechanism of water absorption was supposed as three steps. This mechanism is consisted of absorption into resin, absorption between resin and surface treatment agent, and delamination between fiber and resin. Conditions of test were supplied differently; kinds of fiber and resin, immersion time etc. Both of reversible reaction and irreversible reaction occurred simultaneously. Most of decrease in strength was finished at 2.5% water absorption, and the strength was recovered. At 4% water absorption, most of decrease was caused by irreversible reaction, therefore, there was a tendency not to be recovered in strength.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the wear properties of Saffil/Al, Saffil/A12O3/Al and Saffil/SiC/Al hybrid metal matrix composites fabricated by squeeze casting method. Wear tests were done on a pin-on-disk friction and wear tester under both dry and lubricated conditions. The wear properties of the three composites were evaluated in many respects. The effects of Saffil fibers, $\textrm{Al}_2\textrm{O}_3$ particles and SiC particles on the wear behavior of the composites were investigated. Wear mechanisms were analyzed by observing the worn surfaces of the composites. The variation of coefficient of friction(COF) during the wear process was recorded by using a computer. Under dry sliding condition, Saffil/SiC/Al showed the best wear resistance under high temperature and high load, while the wear resistances of Saffil/Al and Saffi1/$\textrm{Al}_2\textrm{O}_3$/Al were very similar. Under dry sliding condition, the dominant wear mechanism was abrasive wear under mild load and room temperature, and the dominant wear mechanism changed to adhesive wear as load or temperature increased. Molten wear occurred at high temperature. Compared with the dry sliding condition, all three composites showed excellent wear resistance when lubricated by liquid paraffin. Under lubricated condition, Saffil/Al showed the best wear resistance among them, and its COF value was the smallest. The dominant wear mechanism of the composites under lubricated condition was microploughing, but microcracking also occurred to them to different extents.

In this study, a drying method that can effectively remove residual solvent from (+)-dihydromyricetin was developed. Residual acetone concentration was efficiently removed below ICH-specified value (5,000 ppm) by simple rotary evaporation with ethanol pretreatment. In addition, the residual ethanol met the ICH-specified value (5,000 ppm) by simple rotary evaporation through the addition of water, and the residual moisture also met the specified value (<4%) for active pharmaceutical ingredients. At all the drying temperature (35, 45, and 55 ℃), a large amount of the residual solvent was initially removed during the drying, and the drying efficiency increased when increasing the drying temperature. Removal of residual solvent by ethanol pretreatment was shown to be related to high vapor pressure of acetone-ethanol mixture and hydrogen bonding between acetone and ethanol.

기후변화는 전 지구 수문순환과 수자원 분포에 커다란 영향을 준다. 하지만 지금까지 관측되어온 지구상의 건조도 변화에 있어서 기후의 자연변동성의 영향과 인간활동에 의한 온난화의 영향을 명시적으로 밝힌 연구는 존재하지 않는다. 본 연구에서는 데이터 구동형 모델과 물리 모델을 이용해 관측 기반의 전구 수자원 분포를 1902년부터 2014년까지 재구축함으로써 지구의 평균온도가 약 1도 상승해온 지난 세기에 걸쳐 건기의 수자원 분포가 어떻게 변해왔는지 보인다. 재구축된 전구 변화 패턴은 인간활동에 의한 온실가스 증가등을 고려한 기후 모델 시뮬레이션과 흡사함을 알 수 있었으며 기후의 자연변동성만을 고려한 기후 모델 시뮬레이션에서는 발견되지 않았다. 주로 북아시아, 북미, 유럽 등 중위도 온대지방에서 더욱더 건조한 건기가 뚜렷하게 나타났으며 이는 강수량의 감소보다는 증발산의 증가에 기인하는 것으로 나타난다. 이와 같은 건조도의 변화는 미래 있어서 또한 인류에 대한 커다란 위협으로 자리한다. 미래 기후에서의 가뭄의 변화에 대해 다양한 연구들이 존재하지만 대부분 높은 수준의 온난화 (예를들어 RCP-SSP 585)에서의 영향에 국한된다. 다시 말해 인류가 21세기 중반에 달성을 목표로 하는 탄소중립이 가뭄의 측면에서 어떤 영향을 주게 될지에 대한 연구는 아직 충분하지 않다고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 약한 혹은 중간 수준의 기후변화 시나리오를 이용해 파리협약에서 목표로 하는 1.5℃와 2℃ 상승에 따라 전 지구의 건조도 분포가 어떻게 변하고 그 변화에 있어서 어떠한 수문기후학적 메커니즘이 작용하는지 밝힌다. 지중해 연안 지역에서는 건조도의 가속이 +1.5℃와 +2℃사이에 존재하였으나 동아시아에서는 +1.5℃와 +2℃ 모두에서 습윤해짐을 알 수 있었으며 이러한 지역적 불균일성은 기후변화 대응 노력에 있어서 과거 온실가스 배출에 대한 책임뿐만 아니라 다양한 부문에 걸친 미래의 잠재 적응 노력 또한 고려해야만 함을 시사한다. 본 연구는 제6차 Coupled Model Intercomparison Project의 Land Surface, Snow, Soil-moisture Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6/LS3MIP)와 Half a degree Additional warming, Prognosis and Projected Impacts (HAPPI)의 다중 모델 앙상블 시뮬레이션 결과를 이용했다.

In this study, the characteristics and mechanism of microwave-assisted drying were investigated to improve the efficiency of the storage and extraction of biomass through the removal of moisture from plant cell Taxus chinensis. The efficiency of microwave-assisted drying increased with increasing microwave power. When the experimental data were fitted to typical drying kinetic models, the page and modified Page models were the most appropriate. The microwave-assisted drying was determined to be a spontaneous endothermic process, and randomness increased during the drying process. The effective diffusion coefficient (3.445 × 10^-9~7.163 × 10^-7 ㎡/s) and mass transfer coefficient (3.1529 × 10^-5~1.2895 × 10^-2 m/s) increased with increasing microwave power. The small Biot number (0.3890~0.7198) indicated that the mass transfer process was externally controlled.
