This study investigates the effects of moisture content on diffuse ultrasound to be applied for the evaluation of micro-structural damage in concrete subjected to various environmental conditions. We monitored diffuse wave parameters for concrete samples in process of water saturation for 5 days. Dried samples were immersed in a water bath, and the change of moisture content in concrete were estimated by measuring the change of mass. For the diffuse wave analysis, a frequency range of 500 kHz, which represents a scattering regime of ultrasound in concrete, was selected. The test results reveal that the ultrasonic diffusivity slightly changed, and the ultrasonic dissipation significantly increased by approximately 120% in the process of water saturation. Therefore, the moisture content in concrete should be considered for the evaluation of micro-structural damage using diffuse wave techniques.

In this study, the procedures for quantitative measurement of void contents of carbon fiber/epoxy composites were suggested. Two types of the composites were considered: autoclave cured composite and filament wound composite. Void contents of the composites were evaluated by the density of the composites and their constituents, which was determined from weights in the air and water, and the weight fraction and volume fraction of the constituents obtained from the digestion method and combustion method. The surfaces of filtered carbon fibers were examined by FE-SEM in order to investigate the validity of resin removal from the composites. According to the results, the resin in the composites could be fully removed by the digestion method and combustion method. Therefore, the weight fraction and volume fraction of the constituents, and void content of the composites could be quantitatively obtained by the suggested procedures.

나프탈렌 또는 나프톨을 황산화하고 포름알데히드와 축합 반응시켜 나프탈렌 축합물 및 나프톨 축합물을 합성하였다. 또한, 나프탈렌과 나프톨을 모두 함유하는 공축합물도 합성하였다. 이들 축합물의 확인은 핵자기공명스텍트럼, 적외분광스펙트럼, 자외분광스펙트럼으로 행하였다. 한편 이들 축합물들의 시멘트에 대한 분산성을 예측하기 위하여 시멘트 표면에의 흡착실험을 행하였다. 그 결과 수산기를 함유하는 나프톨 축합물(TSC)>나프탈렌-나프톨공축합물(NSS)의 순으로 시멘트에 대한 흡착율이 증가했다. 위의 결과들로부터 주쇄(main chain)에 나프톨을 함유하는 합성축합물(TCS, NT5)은 시멘트분산제로서의 가능성이 시사되었다.

In this study, we examined the physical properties of cement mortar by replacing a part of the amount of fine aggregate in moist mud flat. I analyzed the possibilities of using bricks. Flow measurement results show that the flow value increases as the mixing ratio of cement and fine aggregate increases and the flow value decreased as the replacement ratio of moist mud flats decreased. Chloride contents were also found to decrease with decreasing substitution rate of moist mud flats. As a result of the compressive strength measurement, the compressive strength increased in inverse proportion as the displacement ratio of moist mud flats decreased in most mixing ratio. As a result of tensile strength measurement, the tendency was similar to compressive strength and the intensity increased as the replacement ratio of moist mud flats decreased.

Ferromanganese dust is an oxide substance of Mn. If imprities are removed and oxidation degree is controlled, the dust can be recycled for soft ferrite materials. The ferromanganese dust contained about 7 kinds of impurities, expecially about 9000 ppm of $SiO_2$ contents of the ferromanganese dust from 9000 ppm to under 500 ppm by fritting method. The $SiO_2$ in ferromanganese dust can be converted into water soluble compounds by alkali fritting and removed by water leaching. KOH and NaOH were used. The most effective conditions to get rid of $SiO_2$ from the dust are that the weight ratio of alkali to ferromanganese dust is 1.75 and fritting is run at $550^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour.

Dextran was produced by $Leuconostoc$ $mesenteroides$ SM with various contents of yeast extract and its rheological properties were modulated, via an addition of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) of different viscosities. The conversion yield reached 90% after adding 3% yeast extract, which remained constant, thereafter. The acidity of the cultures was approximately 1.4 and 0.9% after fermentation for 24 h at 25 and $30^{\circ}C$, respectively. The total dextran content (107.3 g/kg) was the highest in the presence of the 3% yeast extract. Under the same conditions, the consistency, viscous modulus (G"), and elastic modulus (G') of the cultures were $37.6\;Pa{\cdot}s^n$, 38 Pa, and 50 Pa, respectively. The rheological properties of the culture were changed drastically by the fortification with HPMC of higher concentration and viscosity. The addition of 10% HPMC (4,000 cp) resulted in a significant increase in G" to 1,950 Pa. Furthermore, adding HPMC to a viscous culture resulted in a remarkable increase in both hardness and firmness.

Ripe fruits of Poncirus trifoliata were examined with a view to development of functional foods and physiological activities were assessed. The flavonoid compound of the sarcocarp extract (SC), at 20.39 mg/g, was the highest of all extracts studied, whereas that in fruit juice extract (FJ) was 18.72 mg/g. The total polyphenol content of pericarp ethanol (PE) and water (PW) extracts were 60.54 mg/g and 45.91 mg/g, respectively. The nitrite scavenging ability of PW (2.0 mg/mL) was 52.27% at pH 1.2. The tyrosinase inhibitory activity of PE (2.0 mg/mL) was 23.23%, but SW showed no such activity at any tested concentration. The electron donating abilities of PW, SC, and FJ were greater than 50% when tested at 0.5 mg/mL. Notably, the $IC_{50}$ of PW was 147.73 ${\mu}g$/mL. Inhibition of xanthine oxidase by PW and SE (0.5 mg/mL) were more than 90%, whereas the $IC_{50}$ of SC was 18.28 ${\mu}g$/mL. These results indicate that P. trifoliate ripe fruits may potentially serve as components of valuable new functional foods.

This study described the test results to evaluate the effect of fines content on the wettability of sandy soil composed of hydrophobic soil particles. Wettability was evaluated using the contact angle obtained from the water drop test results for Jumunjin standard sand and sandy soil containing fines content. The test results showed that the wettability of sandy soil composed of sand and fine-grained soil changed depending on the hydrophobic level and fines content. The influence of fines content on the wettability of sandy soil was analyzed. It was found that 1% and 3% hydrophobic sandy soil with 5% fines content decreased by 94.4% and 32.4%, respectively, compared to the contact angle of standard sand. In addition, the contact angle reduction ratio for sandy soil with a 5% hydrophobic level and a fines content of 5% and 10% were 24.4% and 37.3%, respectively. In other words, the wettability of the soils should be evaluated considering the fines content to predict the behavior of contaminants, because the fines content has a significant impact on the value and increase/decrease ratio of the contact angle of sandy soil

This paper investigated far-infrared emission characteristics of ZrC imbedded heat storage knitted fabrics for emotional garment. For this purpose, ZrC imbedded heat storage PET was spun with high viscosity PET imbedded ZrC powder on the core part and low viscosity PET on the sheath part by conjugated spinning method. Ingredient analysis and far-infrared emission characteristics assessment of spun filament were carried out by EDS and FT-IR spectrometer. Two kinds of knitted fabrics were made using texturized ZrC imbedded PET for measuring thermal characteristics of ZrC imbedded heat storage PET. Zr peak was certified by EDS measurement and it was confirmed that content of Zr was 19.29%. Far-infrared analysis revealed that emission power at the range of wavelength, $5{\sim}20{\mu}m$ was $3.65{\times}10^2W/m^2$, and emissivity was 0.906. Heat storage analysis by KES-F7 system revealed that $Q_{max}$ of ZrC imbedded PET knitted fabric was lower than that of regular PET one and warmth keepability rate was higher than that of regular one, which means that ZrC imbedded PET knitted fabric has heat storage property. Thermal conductivity of ZrC imbedded PET knitted fabric was higher than that of regular PET one which was caused by high thermal conductivity of Zr itself. Hand property of ZrC imbedded knitted fabric was not inferior compared to regular PET knitted fabric, which preferably was found to be dependent on knit structure and surface property.
