Currently, research on construction materials using industrial by-products is being conducted in the Inhan construction industry due to CO₂ emissions during the cement production process and a shortage of aggregates. Among these, research has been conducted to use steel furnace slag as an aggregate by reducing the reactivity of free-CaO, which has the characteristic of expanding through open storage, aging, and rapid cooling. However, research on the use of powder as a cement admixture or substitute is insufficient. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the properties of fresh mortar using steel furnace slag powder. The mixing ratio of steel furnace slag powder was divided into three levels: 0, 20, and 40 (%), and the test items were flow and unit weight. The experimental results showed that as the mixing ratio of steel furnace slag powder increased, flow and unit weight tended to increase. Therefore, it is expected to have a positive effect on improving workability or strength as a cement admixture.

Pharmaceutical compounds enter the water environment through the diverse pathways. Because their concentration in the water environment was frequently detected in the level of ppt to ppb, the monitoring system should be optimized as much as possible for finding appropriate management policies and technical solutions. One Factor At a Time (OFAT) approach approximating the response with a single variable has been preferred for the optimization of LC-MS/MS operational conditions. However, it is common that variables in analytical instruments are interdependent. Therefore, the best condition could be found by using the statistical optimization method changing multiple variables at a time. In this research, response surface analysis (RSA) was applied to the LC-MS/MS analysis of emerging antibiotic compound, sulfamethoxazole, for the best sensitivity. In the screening test, fragmentation energy and collision voltage were selected as independent variables. They were changed simultaneously for the statistical optimization and a polynomial equation was fit to the data set. The correlation coefficient, $R^2$ valuerepresented 0.9947 and the error between the predicted and observed value showed only 3.41% at the random condition, fragmentation energy of 60 and collision voltage of 17 eV. Therefore, it was concluded that the model derived by RSA successfully predict the response. The optimal conditions identified by the model were fragmentation energy of 116.6 and collision voltage of 10.9 eV. This RSA can be extensively utilized for optimizing conditions of solid-phase extraction and liquid chromatography.

In this paper, commercial CFD program FLUENT v5.3 is used for simulation of MCFC stack. Besides using conservation equations included in FLUENT by default, mass change, mole fraction change and heat added or removed due to electrochemical reactions and water gas shift reaction are considered by adding several equations using user defined function. The stacks calculated are 6 and 25 kW class coflow stack which are composed of 20 and 40 unit cells respectively. Simulation results showed that pressure drop took place in the direction of gas flow, and the pressure drop of cathode side is more larger than that of anode side. And the velocity of cathode gas decreased along with the gas flow direction, but the velocity of anode gas increased because of the mass and volume changes by the chemical reactions in each electrodes. Simulated temperature profile of the stack tended to increase along with the gas flow direction and it showed similar results with the experimental data. Water gas shift reaction was endothermic at the gas inlet side but it was exothermic at the outlet side of electrode respectively. Therefore water gas shift reaction played a role in increasing temperature difference between inlet and outlet side of stack. This results suggests that the simulation of large scale commercial stacks need to consider water gas shift reaction.

Two-phase vapor-liquid flows exist in many shell and tube heat exchangers such as condensers, evaporators, and nuclear steam generators. To understand the fluid dynamic forces acting on a structure subjected to a two-phase flow, it is essential to obtain detailed information about the characteristics of a two-phase flow. The characteristics of a two-phase flow and the flow parameters were introduced, and then, an experiment was performed to evaluate the pressure loss in the tube bundles and the fluid-dynamic force acting on the cylinder owing to the pressure distribution. A two-phase flow was pre-mixed at the entrance of the test section, and the experiments were undertaken using a normal triangular array of cylinders subjected to a two-phase cross-flow. The pressure loss along the flow direction in the tube bundles was measured to calculate the two-phase friction multiplier, and the multiplier was compared with the analytical value. Furthermore, the circular distributions of the pressure on the cylinders were measured. Based on the distribution and the fundamental theory of two-phase flow, the effects of the void fraction and mass flux per unit area on the pressure coefficient and the drag coefficient were evaluated. The drag coefficient was calculated by integrating the measured pressure on the tube by a numerical method. It was found that for low mass fluxes, the measured two-phase friction multipliers agree well with the analytical results, and good agreement for the effect of the void fraction on the drag coefficients, as calculated by the measured pressure distributions, is shown qualitatively, as compared to the existing experimental results.

안티모니 (Sb)를 기반으로 한 제2형 초격자 (Type II superlattice, T2SL)구조 적외선 검출기 연구는 2000년대 들어 Sb 계열의 화합물 반도체 성장 기술이 발전함에 따라 HgCdTe (MCT), InSb, 양자우물 적외선 검출기 (QWIP)를 대체할 수 있는 고성능의 양자형 적외선 검출 소재로 부상하였으며, 현재 전 세계적으로 활발한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 특히, 기존의 양자형 적외선 검출소자에 비해 전자의 유효질량이 상대적으로 커서 밴드 간의 투과전류가 줄어들 뿐만 아니라, 전자와 정공이 서로 다른 물질 영역에 분포하여 Auger 재결합률을 효과적으로 줄일 수 있어 상온 동작이 가능한 소재로 주목을 받고 있다. 또한, T2SL 구조는 초격자를 구성하는 물질의 두께나 조성 변화를 통한 밴드갭 변조가 용이하여 단파장에서 장파장 적외선에 이르는 광범위한 파장 대역에서 동작이 가능할 뿐만 아니라 구조적 변화를 통해 이중 대역을 동시에 검출 할 수 있는 차세대 적외선 열영상 소자로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 분자선 에피택시(MBE)법을 이용하여 300 주기의 InAs/GaSb (10/10 ML) 제2형 초격자 구조를 성장하여 적외선 검출소자를 제작하였다. 제2형 초격자 구조를 구성하는 물질계에 p-type dopant인 Be을 이용하여 각각 도핑 농도가 다른 시료를 성장하였다. 이때 p-type 도핑 농도는 각각 $1/5/10{\times}10^{15}cm^{-3}$로 변화를 주었다. 성장된 시료의 구조적 특성 분석을 위해 고분해능 X선 회절 (High resolution X-ray diffraction, HRXRD)법을 이용하였으며, 초격자 한 주기의 두께가 6.2~6.4 nm 로 설계된 구조와 동일하게 성장됨을 확인 하였으며, 1차 위성피크의 반치폭은 30~80 arcsec로 우수한 결정성을 가짐을 확인하였다. 적외선 검출을 위한 $410{\times}410{\mu}m^2$ 크기의 단위 소자 공정을 진행하였으며 이때 적외선의 전면 입사를 위해 소자 위에 $300{\mu}m$의 윈도우 창을 제작하였다. 단위 소자의 측벽에는 표면 누설 전류가 흐르는데 이를 방지하기 위해서 표면보호막을 증착하였다. 적외선 검출 소자의 전기적 특성 평가를 위해 각각의 시료의 암전류 (dark current)와 파장별 반응 (spectral response)을 온도별로 측정하여 비교 및 분석하였다.

The kind of concrete generally used in steel concrete composite bridges is normal-weight concrete whose unit weight is ${2,300kg/m^{3}}$. However, using lightweight concrete in composite bridges diminishes the sectional forces due to the self-weight of concrete decks. As a result, this will make the bridge design more economical. The type of concrete deck that could be adopted in composite bridges using lightweight con crete may be classified into Cast-In-Place (C.I.P.) concrete deck and precast concrete deck. These two types of decks have some differences with respect to structural behavior and constructional method, and hence,structural behavior of stud shear connectors that connect a concrete deck to a steel girder is changed with the type of deck used. In this study, push-out tests were conducted to evaluate the characteristics of static behavior of the stud shear connectors with a precast deck using lightweight concrete. Also, additional precast deck specimens with bedding layer that had shear keys and devices for transverse confinement of the bedding layer for the prevention of cracks occurring in the bedding layer were tested. These cracks The efficiency of these devices was then evaluated.

Silica nanoparticles for polymeric dental restorative composites were prepared by Stober method, and then the effects of surface treatment of silica particles with Lmethacrylofpropyltrimethofsilane $(\gamma-MPS)$ on the dispersity of the silica particles in the organic matrix was investigated. Particles having various average size were prepared by using controlled amounts of tetraethylorthosilicate(TEOS), water, and catalyst and by changing solvent used for reaction. The site of particles prepared by using methanol as solvent was smaller than that prepared by using ethanol as solvent. In addition, the size of particles was increased by decreasing amounts of water and by increasing amounts of TEOS and catalyst. Hydrophobic silica nanoparticles was prepared by reacting hydrophilic nanoparticles with $\gamma-MPS$ to improve interfacial properties with organic matrix. Amounts of $\gamma-MPS$ per unit mass of the particles was increased by decreasing particle size. even though the amount of $\gamma-MPS$ per specific surface area were nearly the same regardless of the particle size. The dispersity of the silica particles in the organic matrix was improved when the surface treated silica particles were used for preparing the polymeric dental restorative composites.

In southeastern sea of Korea, ammonium excretion rates of mixed macrozooplankton population ranged from 0.90 to 2.32$\mu\textrm{g}$ atoms NH$\_$4/-Nm$\^$-3/h$\^$-1/ and zooplankton excretion contributed from 3 to 15% of total nitrogen requirement by phytoplankton. Wet weight specific ex cretion rate was averaged to be 3.45$\mu\textrm{g}$ atoms NH$\_$4/-Ng$\^$-1/wet weight h$\^$-1/. Zooplankton biomass in wet weight and protein tended to increase to ward outer outer shelf. GDH assay of macrozooplankton demonstrated a typical Michaelis-Mentenkinetics with 5.1mM of half saturation constant(Km). Protein specific GDH activity in the present study ranged from 1.5 to 3.2$\mu\textrm{g}$ atoms NH $\_$4/-N mg$\^$-1/protein h$\^$-1/. Higher protein specific GDH activity in the outer shelf implies that zooplankters in the outer shelf were more active in nitrogen metabolism grazing higher primary production in the outer shelf. In the present study, averaged GDH/excretion ratio was 18.8${\pm}$2.6(n=6)showing high correlation between zooplankton GDH activity and direct ammonium excretion rate by zooplankton. GDH assay can be extremely useful in the future study for the ammonium regeneration by different size zooplankton fraction in various marine environments.

Experiments have been conducted to investigate synergistic effects and mechanisms of the Alaskan subbituminous coal/polypropylene (PP). Coliquefaction of coal/PP gave the synergistic effect in yields by 17% compared to independent liquefactions of coal or PP at $430^{\circ}C$. To analyse coliquefaction mechanisms, the second and zeroth order kinetic models were developed for coal and PP conversions respectively. When the models were simulated to fit coliquefaction results, those represented results successfully with the correlation coefficient of 0.99. The amount of tetralin needed to liquefy unit mass of coa 1(${\beta}$) was also calculated using the developed model. According to the calculated results, $\beta$ increased from 0.4 to 1.0 as the coliquefaction temperature increased from $410^{\circ}C$ to $470^{\circ}C$. This indicated that tetralin lowered the molecular weight of oil produced, and this phenomenon was recognized by the GPC analyses. Furthermore, it was found that tetralin prohibited the liquefaction of PP when coal was not added. On the other hand, tetralin was believed to act as a hydrogen-donor solvent to coal rather than prohibit PP liquefaction during coliquefaction. Therefore, the liquefaction rate of PP increases and synergistic effects in oil yields are mainly due to the increase in PP liquefaction during coal/PP coliquefaction.
