Carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) exists not only as a component of natural gas, biogas, and landfill gas, but also as a major combustion product of fossil fuels which leads to a major contributor to greenhouse gases. Hence it is essential to reduce or eliminate carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) in order to obtain high fuel efficiency of internal combustion engine, to prevent corrosion of gas transportation system, and to cope with climate change preemptively. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in not only conventional membrane-based separation but also new adsorbent-based separation technology. Particularly, in the case of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), it has been received tremendous attentions due to its unique properties (eg : flexibility, gate effect or strong binding site such as open metal sites) which are different from those of typical porous adsorbents. Therefore, in this study, stereotype of two MOFs have been selected as its flexible MOFs (MIL-53) representative and numerous open metal sites MOFs (MOF-74) representative, and compared each other for $CO_2/CH_4$ separation performance. Furthermore, varying and changeable separation performance conditions depending on the temperature, pressure or samples' unique properties are discussed.

A long-term (26 weeks) feeding experiment was conducted to examine the essentiality and requirement of inositol in diets for olive flounder because no information is available in the species. Five casein-gelatin based semi-purified diets were formulated to contain four different levels of myo-inositol (0, 0+antibiotic, 400, 800, and 1600 mg/kg, designated as M0, M0+, M400, M800, and M1600, respectively). One (M0+) of the control diets contained tetracycline hydrochloride (0.4%, wt/wt) as an antibiotic to inhibit biosynthesis of inositol by micro-organism in intestine of fish. Olive flounder at the early juvenile stage (initial body weight 1.22 g) were randomly distributed into fifteen 35 L tanks (48 fish/tank) and fed with one of the experimental diets (3 replicates per diet). At the end of the feeding trial, the weight gain, feed intake, specific growth rate, and protein efficiency ratio of fish fed diets containing higher levels of myo-inositol (M800 & M1600) were significantly higher than those of fish fed the other diets (P<0.05). Feed conversion ratio, survival, hematocrits, and hemoglobin of fish fed experimental diets were not significantly different among all the fish groups. Whole body compositions of fish were not different except for lipid content. The lipid content was significantly different between M0 and M400 diet groups. These results indicate that juvenile olive flounder requires dietary supplementation of myo-inositol in diets for normal growth and its optimum level seems to be approximately 800 mg myo-inositol/kg diet.

For the connections between modular units in modular buildings, the bolted joints with connector plates are used commonly. The strength of structure is determined by the weakest part of structure and the connections may be weaker than the members being joined. Therefore, to check the safety of modular building, the structural performance of connections between modular units as well as that of beam-to-column connections should be evaluated. In this study, the behavior of module to module connection with straight and cross shaped connector plates is investigated by lateral cyclic tests according to KBC2009 0722.2.4 which shall be conducted by controlling the story drift angle in the width and the longitudinal direction respectively. All of test results generally show the stable ductile behavior up to 0.04rad drift levels and the tests in longitudinal direction show a superior energy dissipation per cycle in each of the load steps. However, the straight shaped connector plates have the degradation of stiffness with cyclic loading and the larger drift angle of column than the cross shaped connector plates.

Advanced industries-IT, BT, NT and ET are rapidly developing in 21 century. And the cement industry is becoming the principal factor in air pollution because of the creation of $CO_2$ during manufacturing. Also, the cement industry will be faced with a crisis due to the exhaustion of natural resources. In this study, nano cement by Bottom-up method of a chemical synthesis was developed. The generation of $CO_2$ during the plasticization process of cement manufacturing was avoided. The purpose was to produce building materials that have both high strength and durability as the high value-added growth engine industry of the 21 century. The nano cement was developed using hydrothermal synthesis. This is a method of mixing after ripening, by manufacturing the high density gel and low gel, which does not require special test equipment or pressure conditions to produce. Particle size, SEM, EDX, and porosity tests were conducted. This study investigated the compressive strength of concrete with various compositions. Specimens were tested for compressive strength at 3, 7, 14 and 28 days. The medium-sized (50% by weight) cement particles created by chemical synthesis were less than 168 nm. The compressive strength of the mortar prepared using this cement was 53.9 MPa. But it was judged that succeeding study will be necessary for development of nano building materials with high ability and economical analysis.

This study examined the influence of the nutrient intake status, dietary habit, and academic stress of elementary school children on their academic achievement. Two-hundred and twenty-four fifth-graders in Bucheon-si, Gyeonggido were surveyed. The study included the 24 hr-recall, anthropometric measurement, assessment of stress level and academic achievement. The subjects were normal in height, weight and Rohrer index, but higher percentage of underweight was seen in girls and vice versa in boys. The overall nutrient intake and dietary habits were fairly good, but Ca and folate intake was less than 75% KDRIs and dietary habits of boys were inferior. Academic stress level of all the subjects was not high. In terms of academic performance and its relations with nutrient intake, the more the amount of nutrient intake, the higher the academic performance. Especially, it was true for the energy, protein, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and n-6 fatty acid intakes (p < 0.05). The overall academic performance was higher for those who eating-out less frequently. Children with higher comprehensive dietary habit scores have shown better academic performance (p < 0.05). Less stress implied to those shown higher academic achievement while those with relatively poor academic performance showed high stress level since their grade did not improve as much as they anticipated. In conclusion, the academic achievement was higher for those who have a better nutritional status, better dietary habits, and lower stress levels. Therefore, it is critical for nutritionists, parents, and teachers to improve the nutritional status and dietary habits as well as to help them manage their stress levels, which will eventually contribute to an enhanced academic performance.

Canned and bottled orange juices currently sold in Korean market were stored for 24 weeks at 20, 30, 40 and $50^{\circ}C$ and analyzed after opening at 4 week intervals. Activation energy, $Q_{10}$ values and shelf-life at respective temperatures were calculated from the data on various quality indexes. Proposed indexes were lead, tin, iron and vitamin C contents in canned juices and vitamin C content and browning index in bottled juices and $Q_{10}$ values for these parameters were in the range of $1.3{\sim}2.0$. Shelf-life calculated for canned juices at 10, 20 and $30^{\circ}C$ were 10, 6 and 3 months and that in bottled juices, 24, 12 and 6 months, respectively. When the distribution temperature of juices in Korea is assumed to be $15^{\circ}C$ average, the optimum shelf-life was estimated to be 8 months in canned juices and 18 months in bottled juices. In order to ascertain the safety of canned orange juices, efforts are needed to re-examine the recommended distribution period, legal limit for lead and improvement of container materials.

The material properties of Cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) were evaluated according to heat treatment conditions. The special focus was made on the color control of cedar wood by heat treatment. The difference of color between sapwood and heartwood could be reduced by heat treatment at a temperature above $170^{\circ}C$. Long heating time was more effective in reducing the difference. The Equilibrium Moisture Content (EMC) of heat-treated wood was as low as 50 percent. The result obviously indicates that heat-treated wood is more dimensionally stable in the change of moisture condition than the control. The heat-treated wood was also effective in increasing the durability against wood rotting fungi. However, more study is required to develop heat treatment as an environmentally-friendly technology for wood preservation without chemical. The mechanical properties of heat-treated wood showed relatively higher performance than the control in general. Meanwhile the dramatic decrease in impact bending stress due to the loss of ductility may limit uses of heat-treated wood in certain cases. There were no significant changes in microscopic structure which may cause changes in mechanical properties. Further study on the chemical analysis of heat-treated wood is needed to scrutinize the causes of changes of material properties.

동굴은 미지의 세계이고, 암흑의 신비로운 지하세계이기 때문에 우리 인간에게는 매우 흥미로운 공간이라고 할 수 있다. 그러므로 이러한 공간을 관광자원으로 활용하여 지역주민이 소득을 올리고, 청소년에게 탐험의 세계, 모험의 세계는 물론 자연학습의 현장으로 활용할 수 있게 하는 바람직한 경우도 있다. 그러나 이러한 경우 동굴이 개발되면 전자와 같은 긍정적인 면이 있는 반면에 동굴의 파괴, 오손 및 오염과 같은 악영향을 가져오게 되므로 동굴을 개발할 당시부터 악영향을 최소하기 위해서는 환경보전과 환경보호에 커다란 관심을 가져야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이제 동굴 개장이 2개월밖에 되지 않은 천곡동굴이 관광지로 개방됨으로써 나타나게 될 환경변화를 미리 살펴보고 그에 대한 대책을 마련하려고 하였다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 천곡동굴의 경우 동굴 공간이 넓고 관광통로가 왕복통로로 되어 있어 체동인구가 2배가 되므로 많은 관광객의 출입시 동굴 내부의 기온이 상승하기 때문에 동시에 관람할 수 있는 적정 관람객 수를 조절해야 한다. 둘째, 천곡동굴은 개장 시일이 오래 경과하지 않았기 때문에 퇴적물의 파손이 전무하다고 할 수 있다. 따라서 이 상태를 계속 유지하기 위해서 동굴 내부에 관리인을 상주시킨다거나, 입동객의 소지품을 보관할 수 있는 장소를 마련하여 동굴퇴적물을 훼손할 수 있는 물건의 반입을 애초에 방지하는 방안도 필요하다고 본다. 마지막으로, 동굴 개발 당시 조명을 너무 가깝게 설치한 때문에 개방 후 얼마 되지 않았음에도 불구하고 몇 군데에서 녹색균류가 관측되고 있으므로 조명시설의 원거리 조정이나 간접조명 대책을 강구해야 한다.만 아니라 오류의 크기도 확률적으로 변하는 상황을 모형에 반영하여 보다 현실성있게 모형화하였다.균 6.5점(2-9점)으로 대체로 높게 나타났는데 이는 대중매체와 신문, 잡지류를 통한 지식의 정보가 많기 때문으로 생각된다 비만 정도에 따라서는 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. 5. 비만 정도와 상호간의 관계를 보면 BMI 수치가 높을수록 비만인 형제수가 많았으며, 자신의 비만 자각도도 높았다. 편식율은 비만 정도가 낮을수록 높았으며, 식품섭취 빈도 점수는 비만군에서 높았으나, 저녁식사 후 간식섭취는 BMI가 높은 군에서 하지 않는 비율이 더 높았는데 이것은 감수성이 예민한 여학생들이 자신의 외모에 대한 의식적인 노력으로 보인다. 이상과 같은 결과를 종합해 볼 때 중학교 여학생들은 학교수업을 중심으로 비교적 규칙적인 생활을 하고 따로 운동을 할 시간이 많지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 비만과 관련하여서는 유전적인 요인도 중요하지만 식습관 개선과 식품이 적절한 선택 등을 강조하여 연령과 생활환경에 맞는 영양교육이 필요하다고 본다.알 수 있으며, 현미 30% 첨가한 B2가 그 다음 순위로 선호되어, 백설기 제조에서 율무와 현미의 첨가량은 10%가 권장된다.농촌 지역 여고생보다 많이 섭취하였고, 탄수화물은 농촌지역 여고생이 대도시 지역 여고생에 비하여 유의적으로 많이 섭취하였다. 지역별 여고생의 에너지섭취 비율은 탄수화물 : 단백질 : 지방의 섭취 비율이 대도시 60.75% : 16.4% 22.9%이며, 중소도시가 62.7% : 15.7% : 21.5%,농촌이66.8% : 14. l% : 19.1%이었다. 영양지식의 정확도나 인지도는 영양소 섭취와 유의적인

Debris flows occur in mountainous areas due to heavy rains resulting from climate change and result in disasters in the downstream area. The purpose of this study is to estimate the impact force of a debris flow when a check dam according is installed in various locations in the channel of a highly mountainous area. A Finite Differential Element Method (FDM) model was used to simulate the erosion and deposition based on the equation for the mass conservation and momentum conservation while considering the continuity of the fluid. The peak impact force from the debris flow occurred at 0 to 5 sec and 15 to 20 sec. When the supplied water discharge was increased, greater peak impact force was generated at 16 to 19 sec. This means that when increasing the water supply, the velocity of the debris flow became faster, which results in increased energy of the consolidation between the particles of the water and the sediment made. If a number of check dams were to be set up, it would be necessary to investigate the impact force at each location of the check dam. The results of this study could provide useful information in predicting the impact force of the debris flow and in installing the check dams in appropriate locations.

One of the most serious problems with concrete small dams or barriers installed in small/median rivers is the deposit of sediments, especially, in Korea. An effective way to discharge such sediments to downstream is to construct a bypass pipe under the river bed. However, efficiency may become lowered if ripraps are entered into the bypass pipe. Therefore, in this study, we derived the threshold condition for the exclusion of ripraps from the bypass pipe using 3D numerical analysis. Upstream flow of the small dam was assumed to be stationary, and the energy concept was applied to the control volume containing the bypass pipe and its periphery. As a result, when the ratio of the water level difference between upstream and downstream to the diameter of the riprap was approximately equal to 1.2, the threshold condition for exclusion of the stones or riprap from the bypass pipe was affirmatively determined. If the characteristics of the adsorptive sediment adversely affecting the river environment in the future would be taken into account, results from this study are expected to put to practical use in the management of concrete small dam with bypass pipe system.
