The purpose of this study is to investigate the formation mechanism of landspout by using the Cloud Resolving Storm Simulator (CReSS). The landspout occurred over Ilsan, Goyang City, the Republic of Korea on June 10, 2014 with the damage of a private property. In synoptic environment, a cold dry air on the upper layers of the atmosphere, and there was an advection with warm and humid air in the lower atmosphere. Temperature differences between upper and lower layers resulted in thermal instability. The storm began to arise at 1920 KST and reached the mature stage in ten minutes. The cloud top height was estimated at 9 km and the hook echo was appeared at the rear of a storm in simulation result. Model results showed that the downburst was generated in the developed storm over the Ilsan area. This downburst caused the horizontal flow when it diverged near the surface. The horizontal flow was switched to updraft at the rear of storm, and the rear-flank downdrafts (RFDs) current occurred from simulation result. The RFDs took down the vertical flow to the surface. After then, the vertical vorticity could be generated on the surface in simulation result. Subsequently, the vertical vorticity was stretched to form a landspout. The cyclonic vorticity of echo hook from simulation was greater than $3{\times}10^{-2}s^{-1}$(height of 360 m) and landspout diameter was estimated at 1 km.

This article presents the results of experimental study that investigates the effect of filler and shrinkage reducing agent influencing on the strength properties of MMA-modified polymer paste that was produced to develop the surface-repair and coating materials of the concrete structures. Results show that the flexural and compressive strengths of the polymer paste increased 29 and 27%, respectively, when the aluminum hydroxide completely replaced the calcium carbonate as the filler Furthermore, when the shrinkage reducing agent was used 30%, both strengths decreased about 29% comparing to when the agent was not used. As in the cases of flexural and compressive strengths, the adhesive strength increased as the content of aluminum hydroxide as the filler increased, and it decreased as the content of shrinkage reducing agent increased. The adhesive strength with a dry concrete substrate turned out to be $30{\sim}40%$ higher than that with a wet concrete substrate.

The freezing resistance of Eleocharis kuroguqai was evaluated in artifical and natural freezing conditions in relation to tuber size, depth of tuber burial and soil moisture conditions. Osmotic potential of immature and mature tuber of E. kuroguqai before hardening was -12.1 and -23.5 bar, respectively, but decreased to -61. 0 and -67.1 bar after 120-day hardening period. Percent survival of E. kuroguqai tubers during the winter period was 13% and 67% in dry and moist moisture conditions at burial of 5cm depth, but all tubers were survived in the three moisture conditions employed when buried at 25cm depth. Greater decrease of osmotic potential was observed in tubers buried at 5cm depth than tubers buried at 25cm depth, resulting in greater freezing resistance in the former. Large tuber was more susceptable to freezing temperatures than small tuber.

Common bulking agents in composting system include woody materials such as sawdust and woodchips. These bulking agents are mainly used for the purpose of the proper control of C/N ratio and moisture content in the composting. The topic for the effect on air permeability of bulking agents has far received relatively little attention in the composting field. This study investigated the effect of bulk density, moisture content, air-filled porosity, particle size and air flow rate on air permeability of several mixture ratios of sawdust and woodchip bulking agent. Increasing the moisture contents, the air-filled porosity was decreased and the particle size was increased for all kinds of bulking agent mixtures. Especially, with the increasing of mixing ratio of woodchip, these effects were sharply magnified. The air permeability respond to air-filled porosity was very similar to that for moisture content which was anticipated the linear relationship between air-filled porosity and moisture content. Above the region of moisture content 0.25 or 0.43(d.b.)(20 or 30% w.b.), the pressure drop decreased even though air-filled pore spaces were filling with water. Especially, to the particle size of 5 mm the pressure drop was decreased exponentially, so the air permeability was dramatically improved. By the water had the role of binding of the small particles, the macropores less resistances to air flow were created in the matrix. The effect of particle size on air permeability was much stronger than that of air-filled porosity or moisture content. And it is needed the preparing of initial particle size above 5 mm for efficient composting.

Optical fiber cable, as a sensor, was installed on the wall of KAERI(Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute) Underground Research Tunnel(KURT) in order to monitor the physical stability of the tunnel, which was constructed for technical development and demonstration of radioactive waste disposal. This monitoring system has two simultaneous measurements of temperature and strain over time using Brillouin backscatter. According to the results of the monitoring from Jan. 2008 to Nov. 2009, there is no significant displacement or movement at the tunnel wall However, the cumulative volume of total strain increased slightly as time passes with the comparison of the reference observation, which was measured in Jan. 2008. The change in cumulative volume of total strain indicates that the strain level had been affected by saturation and de-saturation phenomena due to groundwater fluctuation at several points at KURT. This system is based on the distributed sensing technique concept, not point sensing. By using this system, a displacement can be detected with the range from $20{\mu}{\varepsilon}$ to $28,000{\mu}{\varepsilon}$ every 1m interval in minimum. A temperature variation can be monitored at every 0.5m interval with the resolution of 0.01 in minimum. Based on the study, this monitoring system is potentially applicable to long term monitoring systems for radioactive waste disposal project as well as other structures and underground openings.

고분자전해질들은 제지공정에서 건조지력제, 습윤지력제, 정착제, 보류제 등으로 널리 사 용되어지고 있으며, 이러한 고분자전해질들이 보유하고 있는 관능기의 종류와 분자량에 따라 각각의 다른 특성을 발현하게 된다. 이중 관능기의 종류와 비율에 따라 결정되는 중요한 특성 중 한가지가 전하밀도이며, 이러한 전하밀도는 제지공정에 사용할 때 습부공정에서 매우 중요 한 인자라 할 수 있다. 전하밀도는 고분자전해질의 분자구조와 단량체의 종류에 따라 다르며, 적용 pH의 조건에 따라 변화하게 된다. 3급 아민과 4급 암모늄을 관능기로 가진 고분자전해질 의 경우 pH에 따른 전하밀도의 변화는 이미 잘 알려져 있는 바,3급 아민을 작용기로 가진 양이 온성 고분자전해질은 pH 9에 도달하면 양전하를 완전히 상실하고,4급 암모늄을 작용기로 가진 양이온성 고분자전해질은 pH의 변화에 상관없이 양전하가 변하지 않는다고 보고되어 있다. 본 연구에서는 양이온성과, 양쪽이온성 고분자전해질들 중 Cationic PAM, Amphoteric P PAM, PolyDADMAC, Epoxide polyamide resin, Epi-DMA copolymer 등을 시 료로 사용하였 으며, 양이온성 관능기의 종류가 다른 고분자 전해질을 이용하여 pH 변화에 따른 전하밀도의 변화를 검토하였다. 또한 일반적으로 중성 초지공정의 pH 조건은 7.0 - 8.0이며, 이 pH 조건에 서 고분자전해질의 거동은 매우 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 따라서 양이온 관능기의 종류에 따른 고분자전해질들을 pH 7.8에서 보관시간에 따른 전하밀도의 변화를 조사하였으며, 전하밀도가 변화하는 양상에 따라 양이온성 관능기의 분자구조의 변화를 검토하였다. p pH 변화에 따른 전하밀도의 변화 결과로부터 3급 아민을 포함한 양이온성 고분자전해질 뿐만 아니라,4급 암모늄을 포함한 일부의 양이온성 고분자전해질 또한 알카리 조건에서 전하 밀도가 감소하며, 강한 얄차리 조건에서는 음이온성 고분자전해질로 변화하는 현상을 관찰할 수 있었다. 이상의 결과들로부터 약 알카리(pH 7.5 - 8.0) 조건 하에서도 시간의 변화에 따라 4 급 암모늄을 포함하는 고분자전해질의 전하밀도가 변화할 것이라 예측하였으며, 실험을 통해 그 사실을 확인하였다. 알카리 조건에서 전하밀도가 변하지 않는 4급 암모늄 고분자전해질과, 전하밀도가 변하는 4급 암모늄 고분자전해질의 분자구조를 비교해 볼 때, 그 원인은 4급 암모늄 의 관능기가 고분자 연쇄로부터 가수분해 되어 나타나는 현상으로 판단된다.

Use of phosphate coated urea to decrease ammonia volatilization from directly seeded paddy under dryland condition at early stage was tested. Effect on urea hydrolysis was investigated through laboratory study comparing with use of thiourea, a urease inhibitor, under different water content. A field measurement of volitilized ammonia with phosphate-glycerol ammonia absorber was conducted for surface treated urea, phosphate coated urea, phosphate coated slow-release fertilizer and organic fertilizer. Through laboratory study, hydrolysis rate of phosphate coated urea at three days after treatment was lower than that of urea, however, the rate after one week was same. Thiourea addition retarted urea hydrolysis. By field measurement, ammonia volatilization was effectively reduced by use of phosphate coated urea.

CMDS (Coal Mine Drainage Sludge) is mainly generated from acid mine drainage during physicochemical treatment or electrical purification. CMDS is well worth considering on recycling possibilities in various areas. This research applies the liner and cover materials using waste disposal landfill generally to treat acid mine drainage sludge. In this Part I of the two parts paper, physico-chemical characteristics of CMDS, bentonite and cement to prepare the liner have been identified using XRD, XRF, FESEM. In addition, combining their physicochemical characteristics, the optimum mixing ratio has been determined to be 1: 0.5: 0.3 for CMDS: bentonite: cement by the batch tests. Initial permeability of CMDS was $7.10{\times}10^{-7}cm/s$. Through the leaching test, it was confirmed that its mixture was environmentally safe. In the Part 2, a large-scale Lysimeter was used to simulate the effects of the layer on the freeze/thaw for evaluation on field applicability and stability.
