This study was performed to understand the effects of filling stage temperature on the characteristics of starch and storage protein and the quality of rice grains. Eight early maturing rice varieties were cultivated in Cheolweon (latitude $38^{\circ}15^{\prime}N$) and Suwon (latitude $37^{\circ}16^{\prime}N$) areas in Korea. Rice grown in Suwon, with relatively high ripening period temperatures, showed significantly reduced head rice ratio and eating qualities, higher protein and lower amylose contents than rice grown in Cheolweon. In rice that ripened under high temperature conditions, the starch contained significantly less short-chain amylopectin (DP < 12) but more intermediate- (DP 13-24) and long- (DP > 25) chain amlylopectin compared to rice that ripened under normal conditions. In addition, the electrophoretic pattern of rice storage protein under high- temperature conditions revealed decreased prolamin and increased glutelin contents.

Acanthopanax senticosus is a common Asian herb also known as "Siberian Ginseng". It is often used as a traditional herbal medicine for reducing damage in the liver, kidney, bone and muscle. In the present study we investigated the ferric reducing/antioxidant power and total phenolic contents of the ethanol-/water-extracts obtained from the stems and leaves of Acanthopanax senticosus. Osteoblast cellular proliferation was evaluated using the MTT and alkaline phosphatase activity assays in the human osteoblast-like MG-63 cell line. Acanthopanax senticosus extracts exerted remarkable ferric reducing/antioxidant power and contained high amount of phenolics. Among the extracts the stem-/ethanol-extract showed the highest antioxidant activity and total phenol content. Interestingly a highly positive correlation was found between antioxidant activity and total phenol content (p < 0.01). Proliferation of MG-63 osteoblast cells was highest in the stem-/ethanol-extract and alkaline phosphatase activity significantly increased in the water-extract of the stems (p < 0.05). These findings suggest that Acanthopanax senticosus extracts have antioxidant activity for preventing oxidative stress-related diseases and may have beneficial effects on bone health through the proliferation of osteoblast cells.

The lateral bearing characteristics of large diameter drilled shaft depend greatly on the stiffness of the pile, horizontal subgrade reaction of adjacent ground. In particular, the empirical evaluation results of the horizontal subgrade reaction coefficient which are widely used in pile design are very important factors in evaluating the lateral bearing capacity of drilled shaft because the difference in bearing capacity depends on the estimated result. Nevertheless, the evaluation of the horizontal subgrade reaction coefficient on the large diameter drilled shaft is insufficient. In addition, although the range of influence and the location of the maximum moment which is the weaken zone on the pile may be correlated and relationship of these are major consideration in determining the reinforced zone of drilled shaft, the previous studies have not been evaluated it. In this study, the field test and nonlinear analysis of large diameter drilled shaft were performed to evaluate the horizontal subgrade reaction coefficient and to investigate the relationship between the influence range 1/β of the pile and the location of the maximum moment z_m. In the result, the lateral bearing capacity of drilled shaft showed a difference in results by about 190% according to the empirical equation on the horizontal subgrade reaction coefficient. And the relationship between the influence range of the pile and the location of the maximum moment was evaluated as a linear relationship depending on the soil density.

It was proposed that proper problem solving practice should improve students' questioning in physics. In the previous researches, improvement in students' questioning was observed after practice of making questions given the examples of desirable questions. In this study, the problem solving strategies used by experts were introduced to students in the form of step-by-step guide to follow in problem solving practice. The directions in the guide were concrete and operational for students to understand the expected behaviors explicitly. It was assumed that students could pinpoint the difficulty specifically through this guide, which would result in positive effects on students' recognition and expression of their own questions. The subjects in this study were college freshmen enrolled in the introductory physics for science or engineering major. The physics problems from the textbook were solved and practiced in the traditional way for controlled group. Worksheets designed to follow experts' problem solving strategies were used for the experimental group. Two groups were taught in the same way during lecture part of the class. Students were asked to describe the difficulties they had during homeworks or tests. Questions in this study means these descriptions written by students although they were not necessarily in the form of interrogative sentences. The questions were analyzed both in quantity and quality. Quantitatively, more students spontaneously turned in their questions in the experimental group than in the controlled group. Regarding the quality, there were more students in the experimental group than in the controlled group who described their difficulties in detail or recognized the need for the procedural knowledge.

This study aim to figure out the limitation of existing ICT SMEs technology support programs conducted by Government Funded Research Institute. To investigate the limitations of SMEs programs, we conducted Focus Group Interview(FGI) with staff in charge of R&D department of beneficiaries(ICT SMEs). The results of FGI show that SMEs have troubles with the lack of R&D manpower, R&D infrastructure and non-R&D activities. Then, we conducted Delphi survey(derived from FGI) with related field experts to ask the problems and limitations of SMEs programs. The Results of Delphi show that SMEs programs has limitations with avoiding of SMEs support staff, lack of public R&D infrastructure sharing center, incompleteness of policies. Based on the results of FGI and Delphi, we suggest the several ways to improving SMEs programs.

The purpose of this paper is to present the damage patterns of cellular phone (SCH_W830) batteries according to energy sources and have them utilized as data for the settlement of disputes between manufactures and consumers. The reliability was secured by maintaining the ambient temperature and humidity at $22{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ and 40~60 %, respectively. The voltage of the battery used for the tests was measured to be 4.18V between positive pole (+) and negative pole (-)(1), and 4.19 V between positive pole (+) and negative pole (-)(2). This study applied the Korean Industrial Standard (KS) to the flammability test of cellular phones due to a general flame applied to them and found that no damage occurred to the built-in battery even though the flame was applied to the cases of cellular phones for 30 seconds. From the results of immersing the cellular phones in the saline solution (NaCl, 0.9 %) for 180 seconds, it was found that there was a trace of carbonization and melting due to the heat caused by leaking current. It can be seen that when the cellular phones were heated for 70 seconds using a microwave oven (MWO), the areas containing the metal holder, recharging connector, antenna, etc., were melted and discolored and that other areas showed no particular problems. That is, while the external carbonization of cellular phones, built-in metals and dielectric materials, and damage and deformation of the battery terminal block, etc., occurred differently depending on the types of energy sources, the voltage showed comparatively constant characteristics. Therefore, it is thought to be possible to attribute the cause of damage to the battery by performing analysis taking into consideration comprehensively the characteristics of the flame spread pattern as well as the melting and deformation of metals.

When the fire in the high-rise building was not extinguished in its early stage and propagated over its origin, safe egress becomes one of the most important factor to minimize the casualties. Recently fire protection for high-rise building has been reinforced after experiencing the series of disastrous fires. But, we still find many high-rise buildings do not comply with those reinforcement. And also there is a possibility of failure of reinforced fire protection system. Under these situation safe egress guide would be the final layer of protection. In this study existing egress methods were identified and evaluated. According the result of study, priority in egress should be given to the tenants on the floor of fire origin and floors exposed to the risk of fire. Then, the rest of the tenants can be evacuated simultaneously. Floors exposed in fire risk shall be determined by fire tests and/or fire simulations. But, the result of fire monitoring shall override preliminary estimations. Egress time for each algorithm was estimated by egress simulation and the result was compared. There was a little difference in egress time between total egress and phased egress, and a big difference between using stairs only and using elevators and stairs together. to a constant thickness between layers constituting a firefighter's protective clothing should be considered in the future.

It is necessary for us to undergo trial and error for eliciting the rational requirement of the acquisition of weapon systems, but the M&S is general approach due to costs and risk of the development. In addition to the acquisition of weapon systems, M&S is extensively employed in the analysis and the training of developed weapon systems. The ADD (Agency for Defense Development) has developed DEVS integrated development environment (QUEST) that provides M&S general ground technique composed of simulation model implementation services, simulation result analysis services, and simulation interface services. This paper describes the interface architecture and the implementation of torpedo target detection section interface simulation system using QUEST. The torpedo target detection section interface simulation system is composed of torpedo target detection section which calculates a result of target detection and the QUEST scenario generator which provides simulation scenario for performance test of the torpedo target detection section. The interface architecture of torpedo target detection section interface simulation system is designed to verify the interface and performance of the torpedo target detection section by linking with the QUEST scenario generator.

물론 이 글이 콘크리트 분야에 종사하는 사람이 알아야 하는 모든 것을 언급하지는 않는다 ; 본인의 저서 'Properties of Concrest'의 판매에 나쁜 영향을 주고 싶지도 않다. 내가 원하는 것은 콘크리트를 제작할 때 우리 모두가 주의를 기울여야 하는 중요한 몇 가지를 강조하는 것이다. 포트랜드 시멘트만 들어있는 보통의 콘크리트가 사용되는 시대는 이미 사라져가고 있고, 단순한 응용을 제외하고는 곧 사라질 것이다. 대부분의 경우는 가능한 일련의 시멘트계 재료 중에 선택을 해야 한다. 혼화제, 특히 고성능 감수제는 중요한 역할을 한다. 물을 많이 첨가하는 것이 작업성을 높이는 유일한 방법도 아니고 최선의 방법도 아니다. 성능을 기준으로 한 기준설정에 관여하는 사람은 이 모든 것을 명심해야 한다. 그렇지 않으면 시방기준에 명시된 규정과 근원적인 요구사항이 잘못 이해되고, 시험배합을 통해서만 잘못되었다는 것이 분명해지게 된다. 그 단계에서는 예상보다, 비록 틀린 것이지만, 더 많은 비용이 들 것이다. 시방규정은 통상적인 조항 외에 갈수록 내구성에 관심을 더 많이 보인다. 가끔은 내구성이 구조물의 기대수명에 대한 연수로 표현되기도 한다. 이 숫자를 배합재료에 관한 자료로 변환시키는 데는 여러 배합재료 및 배합비가 콘크리트의 성질에 미치는 영향에 관하여 깊이 알고 있어야 한다. 모든 사람이 그러한 구체적인 지식을 가질 필요는 없지만, 각 조직마다 상의할 수 있는 사람은 있어야 한다. 엔지니어가 언급한 규정이 따로 없고, 도면의 주를 참고하거나 구체적인 절이 명시되지 않은 상태에서 국가 시방기준을 통해서 조금씩 내용을 수집해야 하는 경우의 상황은 더 난감하다. 이러한 경우는 배합설계나 재료의 선택을 책임지고 있는 사람이, 환경에 대한 노출조건 및 필요한 배합재료에 관하여 잘 알고 있어야 한다. 일반적으로 말해서 콘크리트의 배합은 필요한 특정용도에 따라서 선택되어야 한다. 이것이 사람들이 고성능 콘크리트라 부르는 것이라고도 할 수 있다. 내 생각으로는 고성능 콘크리트와 보통 콘크리트의 경계는 곧 사라질 것이고, 앞으로 대다수 고객에게 주문 콘크리트 혹은 맞춤 콘크리트를 제공해야 할 것이다. 만약 이러한 접근방식에 더 많은 비용이 든다면, 그것을 보상하는 방법은 콘크리트에 대한 이미지를 높이고, 또한 앞으로 모든 용도에 계속적으로 이용될 수 있도록 하는 것이다. 아니면 구조물을 보수하고, 보수한 것을 또 보수하고, 해체하고 해야 할 것이다. 결국은 재활용 골재를 생산할 수 있다고 웃으면서 말할지 모르지만, 이런 식으로는 불만을 지닌 사용자가 콘크리트를 가능하면 멀리하게 만들 것이다. 콘크리트는 절대 심각한 경쟁에 처하지 않을 것이라는 가정은 무모하다. 내가 배합비에 대해서 강조해 왔지만, 이것으로 최종적으로 좋은 콘크리트가 된다는 보장은 없다. 비빔에서는 일반적으로 큰 문제는 없지만 골재에 함유된 수분을 더 잘 제어해야하고 주의를 게을리하지 말아야 한다. 비빔시간은 모든 재료가 잘 섞이기에 충분해야 하는데, 마이크로 실리카가 포함되어 있을 경우에는 더욱 그렇다. 단위시간당 믹서의 작업량을 높이기 위해서 충분히 비비지 않아서는 안된다. 그리고 마지막으로, 콘크리트가 타설되고 다져진 후, 적절하게 양생이 되어야 한다. 마이크로 실리카가 배합에 사용되었을 경우에는 특히 그러하지만, 이것은 모든 콘크리트에서 양생을 잘하는 것이 피복부에서 유해물질이 유입되는 것을 최소화하고 철근을 완전히 보호하는데 있어서 절대적이다. 내가 지금까지 말한 것은 콘크리트에 관한 충분한 지식과 이해를 필요로 한다. 이것은 당연하고 또한 적절한 것이라고 생각한다. 왜냐하면 더 이상 콘크리트를 수준낮은 싸구려 재료로 간주해서는 안되기 때문이다.

Fly ash (FA), byproduct from power plant has been actively used as mineral admixture for concrete. However, since bottom ash (BA) is usually used for land reclaim or subbase material, more active reuse plan is needed. Pond ash (PA) obtained from reclaimed land is mixed with both FA and BA. In this study, 6 PA from different domestic power plant are prepared and 5 different replacement ratios (10%, 20%, 30%, 50%, and 70%) for fine aggregate substitutes are considered to evaluate engineering properties of PA as fine aggregate and durability performance of PA concrete. Tests for fine aggregate of PA for fineness modulus, density and absorption, soundness, chloride and toxicity content, and alkali aggregate reaction are performed. For PA concrete, durability tests for compressive strength, drying shrinkage, chloride penetration/diffusion, accelerated carbonation, and freezing/thawing are performed. Also, basic tests for fresh concrete like slump and air content are performed. Although PA has lower density and higher absorption, its potential as a replacement material for fine aggregate is promising. PA concrete shows a reasonable durability performance with higher strength with higher replacement ratio. Finally, best PA among 6 samples is selected through quantitative classification, and limitation of PA concrete application is understood based on the test results. Various tests for engineering properties of PA and PA concrete are discussed in this paper to evaluate its application to concrete structure.
