The procedure that combines the result of infiltration analysis into stability analysis based on the limit equilibrium method is widely used to evaluate the impact of rainfall infiltration on slope stability. Accurate prediction of rainfall infiltration is essential to the prediction of landslides caused by rainfall, requires to obtain accurate unsaturated hydraulic properties of the soil. Among the unsaturated hydraulic characteristics of the soil, the importance of the soil-water characteristic curve describing the retained water characteristics of the soil is relatively well known and the measurement by test method to obtain the SWCC is gradually increasing. However, it takes a lot of time and expenses to experimentally measure the unsaturated conductivity characteristics of the soil. Therefore, it is common practice to estimate the hydraulic conductivity function from the SWCC. Although it is widely known that the SWCC has a great influence on rainfall infiltration, studies on the effect of the hydraulic conductivity function estimated from the SWCC on rainfall infiltration are very limited. In this study, we explained how the estimation model of the hydraulic conductivity function affects rainfall infiltration and slope stability analysis. To this end, one-dimensional infiltration analysis and slope stability analysis were conducted by using the data on the SWCC of weathered granite soil widely distributed in Korea. The applicability of each estimation model is discussed through review of the analysis results.

플렉서블 디스플레이에 사용되고 있는 기판은 광학적 투과율이 우수하고 휘어지는 폴리머 기판이 많이 활용되고 있으나 대기중의 수분 및 산소와 같은 가스성분들이 기판을 통해 침투하여 디스플레이의 수명을 감소시킨다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 투명하면서 절연특성이 뛰어나고 수분투과 방지 특성이 뛰어난 실리콘 화합물을 기반으로 하는 가스차단막의 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 실험에서는 기존의 스퍼터링 장치에 비해 저온공정이면서 구조적으로 뛰어난 박막특성을 얻을 수 있는 대향타겟식 스퍼터링(Facing Targets System, FTS)법을 이용하여 PEN기판 위에 $SiO_x$, $SiO_xN_y$, $(SiO_2)_x(ZnO)_{100-x}$ (SZO)를 단일층또는 다층으로 증착한 박막들의 광학적, 구조적 및 수분 투과 방지 특성들을 알아보았다. $SiO_x$, $SiO_xN_y$, SZO박막들의 광학적 특성을 알아보기 위해 Shimadzu사의 UV-VIS spectrophotometer 장비를 사용하여 측정한 결과 가시광 영역에서 80%이상의 높은 광투과율을 나타내었다. 박막의 수분투과 방지 특성으로 Mocon사의 Permatran W3/31 system을 이용한 투습율을 측정결과 가스 차단막이 없는 Bare PEN에 비해 PEN기판 위에 $SiO_x$와 $SiO_xN_y$ 박막들을 단층 또는 다층으로 증착한 박막의 투습율이 감소한 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 특히 SZO 박막의 경우 다른 가스차단막들과 비교해 가장 낮은 수분투과율을 나타내었다. 이는 향후 SZO를 기반으로 한 단층박막이나 무기/무기 또는 유기/무기의 다층 박막 형태를 가지는 가스차단막이 플렉서블 디스플레이에 적용 가능할 것이라 사료된다.

Quality changes of Korean ginseng on microwave drying were determined in terms of water activity, crude protein, crude lipid, crude ash, dielectric properties, content of sugar, ginsenoside composion, microstructure. Korean fresh ginseng were subjected to four different processing : 3 min microwave drying and 2 min holding-24 hrs drying (MWI), 5 min microwave drying and 2.5 min holding-24 hrs drying (MW2), 3 min microwave drying and 2 min holding-12 hrs after hot air drying for 12 hrs drying at $45^{\circ}C$ (MWH1), 5 min microwave drying and 2.5 min holding-12 hrs drying after hot air drying for 12 hrs at $45^{\circ}C$ (MWH2), Water content was decreased 14.33% without shrinkage and water activity was 0.57 after microwave drying. Permittivity was increased as water content increased. As temperature increased, permittivity was increased until $40^{\circ}C$ and fast decreased over $40^{\circ}C$. Content of ginsenoside for MW1 and MW2 was higher than that of MWH1 and MWH2. Data of free sugar showed that there was no significant difference in each treatment. The MW2 dried ginseng showed a more compact structure than the MWH2 ginseng.

Water flow into unsaturated soils is most often modeled by Richards equation consisting of the mass conservation law and Darcy's law. Three standard forms of Richards equation are presented as the head (${\Psi}$)-based form, the moisture content (${\theta}$) based form, and the mixed form. Numerical solutions of these partial differential equations with highly nonlinear terms can cause poor results along with significant mass balance errors. The numerical solution based on the mixed form of Richards equation is known that the mass is perfectly conserved without any additional computational efforts. The aim of this study is to develop fully implicit numerical scheme of Richards equation for one-dimensional vertical unsaturated flow in homogeneous soils using the finite difference approximation, and then to perform sensitivity analysis of infiltration to the variations in the unsaturated soil properties and to different soil types.

Moisture damage of asphalt pavements can usually occur because of the loss of adhesion and cohesion between the asphalt binder and aggregate in the asphalt mixture due to presence of water. And this is one of the causes that is effect on the main distress of asphalt pavement. The objective of this study is to find out moisture damage characteristics of asphalt pavement. Effects of this study changes of the material properties and resistance characteristics of moisture damage on the asphalt mixtures under various temperatures and repeated immersion using indirect tensile test and modify Lottman test were evaluated during this study. The asphalt mixtures were produced using straight asphalt binder, SBS modified asphalt binder and aggregates. The material properties (resilient modulus, indirect tensile strength, failure energy and $DCSE_f$) of the asphalt mixtures were generally decreased with increasing to moisture damage caused by the number of repeated immersion. The decrease ratios of material properties by repeated immersion on SBS modified asphalt mixtures were lower than those of straight asphalt mixtures at all three test temperatures. As a conclusion, current criterion for evaluation moisture damage of asphalt mixtures is difficult for using distinction standard because of the limited evaluation criterion with one time immersion and single material property. Based on this research, to evaluate long term moisture damage on asphalt mixtures, material property tests of various kinds with repeated immersion test are considered.

무, 당근 및 감자를 대상으로 조리방법 (boiling, pressure cooking, microwave cooking)에 따른 dietary fiber 성분, 수분함량 및 조직감의 변화에 대하여 조사하였으며 조직감에 영향을 미치는 성분에 대해 연구해보았다. 시료내에 존재하는 pectin의 함량은 조리시 원료시료에 비해 현저하게 감소하였으며, microwave cooking>pressure cooking>boiling의 순서로 점차 감소하였다(P<0.05). ADF, NDF 및 Cellulose, Hemicellulose, Lignin은 boiling과 pressure cooking의 경우에는 원료시료에 비해 모든 성분이 증가현상을 나타내었으며, microwave cooking의 경우에는 감소하였다(P<0.01). Hemicellulose와 lignin은 조리에 의한 영향을 거의 받지 않는 것으로 나타났으며, cellulose는 조리 방법에 따라 상당한 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 조리방법에 따른 수분함량의 변화는, boiling시에는 원료시료에 비해 현저한 증가를 보였으며, pressure cooking의 경우에는 조금 감소하였으나 뚜렷한 차이가 없었고, microwave cooking시에는 현저한 감소현상을 나타내었다(P<0.001). 조리 방법에 따른 조직감의 변화는 침투시험시에는 maximum force가 raw>microwave cooking>pressure cooking>boiling의 순서로 점차 감소하였으며, 절단 시험시에는 maximum force가 microwave cooking>pressure cooking>raw>boiling의 순서로 점차 감소하였다. 관능검사 결과, 견고성은 원료시료가 가장 컸으며, microwave cooking>pressure cooking>boiling한 시료의 순서로 점차 감소하였고 씹힘성은 microwave cooking방법으로 조리한 시료가 가장 컸으며, pressure cooking>raw>boiling의 순서로 점차 감소하였다. 기계적 측정 결과와 관능검사 결과를 연관시킨 결과, 높은 연관성이 있었다. 이러한 결과로부터 조리시 시료의 견고성은 pectin의 함량과 밀접한 관계가 있어서, 즉 pectin의 함량이 증가함에 따라 견고성이 증가되는 것을 알 수 있었고, 씹힘성은 수분함량과 밀접한 관련이 있어서, 즉 수분함량이 감소함에 따라 씹힘성이 증가되는 것을 알 수 있다. 이상과 같은 결과들은 무, 당근 및 감자에 있어서 모두 같은 경향을 나타내었다.

In this study, hygroelastic behavior of thermosetting epoxy is predicted by molecular dynamics simulations. Since consistent exposures to humid environments lead to macroscopic degradation of polymer composite, computational simulation study of the hygroscopically aged epoxy cell is essential for long-time durability. Therefore, we modeled amorphous epoxy molecular unit cell structures at a crosslinking ratio of 30, 90% and with the moisture weight fraction of 0, 4 wt% respectively. Diglycidyl ether of bisphenol F (EPON862) and triethylenetetramine (TETA) are chosen as resin and curing agent respectively. Incorporating equilibrium and non-equilibrium ensemble simulation with a classical interatomic potential, various hygroelastic properties including diffusion coefficient of water, coefficient of moisture expansion (CME), stress-strain curve and elastic modulus are predicted. To establish the structural property relationship of pure epoxy, free volume and internal non-bond potential energy of epoxy are examined.

The surface runoff is one of the important components for the surface water balance. However, most Land Surface Models(LSMs), coupled to climate models at a large scale for the prediction and prevention of disasters caused by climate changes, simplistically estimate surface runoff from the soil water budget. Ignoring the role of surface flow depth on the infiltration rate causes errors in both surface and subsurface flow calculations. Therefore, for the comprehensive terrestrial water and energy cycle predictions in LSMs, a conjunctive surface-subsurface flow model at a large scale is developed by coupling a 1-D diffusion wave model for surface flow with the 3-D Volume Averaged Soil-moisture Transport(VAST) model for subsurface flow. This paper describes the new conjunctive surface-subsurface flow formulation developed for improvement of the prediction of surface runoff and spatial distribution of soil water by topography, along with basic schemes related to the terrestrial hydrologic system in Common Land Model(CLM), one of the state-of-the-art LSMs.

A study was undertaken to compare degradation patterns of carbofuran in soils between submerged and upland moisture conditions [$3-^{14}C$]Carbofuran was treated in each soils at the rate of 1.0 mg/kg (87.8 kBq $^{14}C/50g$ soil) and the time-course analysis for distribution of radioactivity and degradation products were conducted. Differences in the pathway and rate of carbofuran degradation in soils were observed between submerged and upland moisture conditiona major degradation being hydrolysis at 7-C position and oxidation at 3-C position, respectively. Carbofuran showed less persistence in soils of higher moisture contents A significant portion, $24{\sim}39%$ of the total radioactivity, resided in soils as nonextractable residues at 60 days after treatment The nonextractable radioactivity was mainly located in soil organic matter, fulvic acid, humic acid and humin factions Gel filtration chromatography confirmed the incorporation of carbofuran and its degradation products into the organic matter.
