In RC structure, sufficient anchorage of reinforcement is necessary for the member to produce the full strength. Generally, conventional standard hook is used for the reinforcement's anchorage. However, the use of standard hook results in steel congestion, making fabrication and construction difficult. Mechanical anchor offers a potential solution to these problems and may also ease fabrication, construction and concrete placement. In this paper, the required characteristics and the design considerations of mechanical anchor were studied. Also, the mechanical anchor was designed according to the requirements. To investigate the pull-out behavior and properness of mechanical anchorage, pull-out tests were performed. The parameters of tests were embedment length, diameter of reinforcement, concrete compressive strength, and spacing of reinforcements. The strengths of mechanical anchor were consistent with the predictions by CCD method. The slip between mechanical anchor and concrete could be controlled under 0.2mm. Therefore, the mechanical anchor with adequate embedment could be used for reinforcement's anchorage. However, it was observed that the strength of mechanical anchors with short spacing of reinforcements was greatly reduced. To apply the mechanical anchor in practice (e.g. anchorage of the beams reinforcements in beam-column joint), other effects that affect the mechanical anchor mechanism, such as confinement effect of adjacent member from frame action or effects of shear reinforcement, should be considered.

The purpose of this study is to investigate water purification properties of porous concrete by using effective microorganisms through the long-term continuous flow test. To solve the problems such as desorption of conventional microorganisms, in this study, tertiary treatment of the effective microorganisms identified by 16S rDNA sequence analysis was adopted per each step in the manufacturing process of porous concrete. And concentration for optimum continuous flow test and operation conditions through basic experiments according to retention time were investigated. Based on the experimental results, the porous concrete applying effective microorganisms showed no toxicity on the biological water quality and exhibited excellent removal efficiency than normal porous concrete. Therefore, contaminated water quality would be improved by treatment performance investigation of contaminants through long-term continuous flow test. If problems are complemented during the experiment process, it is expected to be able to reduce the non-point pollution sources flowing into river.

Location detection technology (LDT) is one of the core techniques for location based service (LBS) in wireless communication for improving resource management and quality of services. The location of a mobile station (MS) is estimated using the time of arrival (TOA) technique based on three circles with centers corresponding to coordinates of three base stations (BSs) and radius corresponding to distances between MS and BSs. For accurately estimating the location of MS, three circles should meet at a point for the trilateration method, but they generally do not meet a point because the radius is increased depending on the number of time delay for estimating the distance between MS and BS and the carrier frequency. The increased three circles intersect at six points and the three intersection points among them should be generally placed close to coordinate of the location for the specific MS. In this paper, we propose the shortest distance algorithm for TOA trilateration method, to select three interior intersection points from entire six points. The proposed approach selects three intersection points with the shortest distances between coordinates of MS and intersection points and determines the averaged coordinate of the selected three points, as the location of the specific MS. We demonstrate the performance of the proposed algorithm using a typical computer simulation example.

By implementing an analysis on the liquid flame proof agent infiltration of microwave-heated wood under soaking conditions (room temperature soaking, heat soaking), its correlation with wood temperature, and the structure of wood and permeating components after soaking in flame proof agent, which was carried out as basic research in order to improve the fire resistance performance of the wood itself, it is found that the infiltration increases as the microwave heating time increases, while for heat soaking, it is found that high infiltration as well as the stable permeability of flame proof agent is achievable. Also, when the wood temperature is more than $80^{\circ}C$, the infiltration by the flame proof agent increased, and a very even infiltration of flame proof agent was observed, which implies that the liquid flame proof agent has a dependency on temperature change of the wood as a condition to penetrate into the wood. As a result of fine structure analysis, the flame proof agent transfer between cells through pits was considered as a cause to increase the infiltration of flame proof agent, and it is also shown that for heat soaking among the permeating component analysis, as the crystallized flame proof agent around the heartwood and sapwood inner pits increases, the flame proof agent can penetrate into the the heartwood part.

The characteristics of heavy metal biosorption on the seaweeds were investigated to develop a biological treatment technology for wastewater polluted with heavy metals. The heavy metal biosorption on seaweeds ranked in the tallowing order: U. pinnatifida$\geq$E. stolonifera$\geq$Laminaria sp.>G. amansii. The Pb was biosorbed in the range of $93{\sim}99%$, and the Cu and Cd were biosorbed in the range of $70{\sim}80%$ at the concentration of the heavy metal of $100mg/{\ell}$ respectively. The seaweed which was pretreated with $CaCl_2$ solution improved the biosorption of the heavy metals. The temperature and pH didn't affect the biosorption of heavy metals. The Langmuir isotherm reasonably fit the data of heavy metal biosorption compared to the Freundlich isotherm. The affinity of metals on the biosorption ranked in the following order: Pb>Zn>Cu>Cd. The biosorption efficiency of the heavy metals on the U. pinnatifida decreased in the multi-component rather than the single component. The heavy metals adsorbed on the U. pinnatifida were recovered using 0.3%-NTA. U. pinnatifida among the seaweed used in this work showed the best performance for the biosorption of the heavy metals.

Recently, various environmentally friendly products have been developed for improving the indoor air quality while pursuing a well-being nature-friendly healthy life as a core value. In this research, we not only solve the problems of existing environmentally friendly paints, but also developed a charcoal composite seats that can reduce radon, which is a natural radioactive substance, and evaluated the reduction effect of radon, formaldehyde and volatile organic compounds. In the charcoal composite seats, a sodium silicate emulsion and charcoal were mixed to prepare an charcoal liquid coating material, and the composite seats was fabricated by air-spray coating method. In order to analyze the hazardous substance reduction performance of the fabricated charcoal composite seats, radon was designed to comply with the Ministry of the Environment standard, formaldehyde and volatile organic compounds were designed to comply with KCL-FIR-1085 standard. As a result of the experiment, the fabricated charcoal composite seats was evaluated as having a radon reduction capability of about 90.8% from 20 hours, formaldehyde and volatile organic compounds were 3 hours, and the reduction capability of 96.7% and 96.6% was found respectively. It is considered that these results can be utilized as basic data at the time of product development for improvement of indoor air quality.

As the number of indispensable needs of clean energy increases due to the green new deal revolution, the possibility of heat energy harvesting from the surrounding infrastructures such as a railroad or highway was verified. In order to find more efficient usage of a heat source, the possibility of transforming heat into electricity were confirmed using Bi-Te type thermoelectric element, and electrical quality were tested with experiments of different heat source and environmental change in the surrounding infrastructures. After careful experiments, the possibility of collecting thermal energy and findings of the heat temperature change in infrastructrue are verified with a result of obtaining almost 20.82W in 70 celcius($^{\circ}C$) temperature differences and $1m^2$ surface area. Consequently, the ratio of heat temperatiure change and transforming surface area is the most crucial factor in the harvesting heat energy, and reducing thermal loss and improving thermal convection as well as transformation efficiency of thermoelectric element is required to get more efficient and durable generation.

In this paper, a flow control mechanism is proposed which is based on the priority control between communication path of a node. In this scheme, demanding length of a data queue for any pre-defined, then each node in that path is forced to maintains buffer size under the limit by controlling priority level of the path. The communication path which requires higher bandwidth sets its demanding queue length smaller. By providing relationship between the priority of a path and length of its queue, the high bandwidth requesting path has a better chance to get high bandwidth by defining the smaller demanding queue size. And also, by forcing a path which has high flow rate to maintain small queue size in the path of the communication, the scheme keep the transmission delay of the path small. The size of the demanding queue of a path is regularly adjusted to meet the applications requirement, and the load status of the network during the life time of the communication. The priority control based on the demanding queue size is also provided in the intermediate nodes as well as the end nodes. By that the flow control can provide a quicker result than end to-end flow control, it provides better performance advantage especially for the high speed network.

마이크로어레이 실험은 수 천에서 수 만개의 유전자 발현 결과를 동시에 측정할 수 있어 질병의 발현 형질 분류 등에 유용하게 이용되고 있다. 그러나 마이크로어레이 실험은 동일한 플랫폼의 실험이라 할지라도 환경 등에 따라 그 실험 결과에 차이가 나는 등 오차를 항상 포함하고 있다. 또한 마이크로어레이 실험은 아직 고가의 실험으로 분류되어 다수의 샘플에 대한 반복 실험 결과를 얻기 어려운 상황이다. 따라서 이종의 플랫폼, 데이터 포맷, 정규화 기법 등이 서로 다른 데이터를 효율적으로 통합하여 유용한 정보를 추출하는 새로운 방식의 개발이 필요하다. 본 논문은 이와 같은 문제를 해결하기 위한 기초 단계 연구 결과이다. 마이크로어레이 실험 데이터로부터 통계적 방법을 이용하여 유의(informative) 유전자를 추출하고 유전자 온톨로지(Gene Ontology : GO)와의 연계를 통하여 유전자 정보의 기능적 분류 결과를 사용자에게 제공하는 유전자 기능 분석 시스템의 설계 및 구현 방안을 보인다. 본 시스템의 실험방법에서는 3-Fold Filtering 기법을 통하여 발현 차가 큰 유전자를 추출하고, t-검정 기법에 의하여 이들 유전자를 순위화 하였으며, 이 중 상위 100개의 유전자를 유의 유전자로 추출하였다. 다음, 이 들 유의 유전자의 t-검정 값을 GO의 유전자 기능을 나타내는 해당 텀 (term)에 가중치로 부과하여 각 유전자들과 기능적으로 연관성이 높은 텀들을 추출한다. 또한 본 연구의 유효성을 검증하기 위하여 본 시스템에 의한 마이크로어레이 데이터 분석 결과를 전문가에 의한 유전자 기능 분석 결과와 비교한다.투명성 있는 서비스를 제공하고 높은 신뢰성과 안정성이 확보될 수 있도록 구성하고자 한다.

Grouting materials are used for the unification of superstructural and substructural body like bridge seat (shoe) or machinery pedestal and e.t.c by filling their intercalary voids. Accordingly, grouting materials have been developed and used mainly with products of high strength because those materials are constructed specially in a part receiving large or impact load. In this situation, the structural body constructed by grouting materials with high stiffness-centered (caused by high strength) products is apt to cause brittle failure when receiving over a limit stress and to cause cracks according to cumulative fatigue by continuous and cyclic load. In addition, grouting materials are apt to cause cracks by using too much rapid hardening agents that give rise to high heat of hydration to maintain high strength at early age. In this study, to overcome these problems, cement type grouting materials including powder of waste tire and resin as elastic materials which aim to be more stable construction and to be improvement of mother-body's unification are developed and endowed with properties of high toughness and high durability add to existing properties of high flowability, non-shrinkage and high strength. Besides, this study contribute to of for green construction materials for being possible recycling industrial waste like waste tire and flyash. On the whole, seven type mixing conditions are tested and investigated to choose the best mixing condition.
