The objective of this study was to understand the relationships between forest vegetation characteristics and the damage of Oak wilt disease. Field surveys were carried out for two groups. One group(Group A) consists of Oak wilt infected 18 sites from 7 provinces, and the other group(Group B) consists of 5 permanent sites where data on the relative density of entrance holes drilled by Platypus koryoensis., the vector of Oak wilt disease, were available. Survey results showed that 17 of 18 sites were dominated by Quercus spp.(Group A) and also showed a significant positive relationship($R^2=0.89$, P<0.05) between the relative density of entrance holes and the relative density of Quercus spp.(Group B) implying that the susceptibility to Oak wilt disease is related with the high dominance of Quecus spp. in a forest stand.

The study of site characteristics and vegetation structure was carried out to provide basic data for conservation and reasonable management of Korean endemic Corylopsis coreana communities in Jukgok and Ogok-myeon in Gokseong, Jeonnam Province. In C. coreana communities, average soil pH was 5.05, and the content of organic matter, total N and available P was 5.22%, 0.24% and 3.25ppm, respectively. According to the importance value of each layer, Pinus densiflora, uercus variabilis of Jukgok and uercus mongolica, serrata, and Pinus densiflora of Ogok area in the tree layer were high. In the subtree and shrub layer at two study sites, C. coreana has the highest importance value. In subtree layer at the two study sites, species diversity, evenness and dominance ranged from 0.567 to 0.779, 0.401 to 0.509 and 0.491 to 0.509, respectively. The distribution patterns by Morisita's index showed that C. coreana in two study sites was randomly distributed in the subtree and shrub layers.

For the inert gases of Ar, $N_2$and $CO_2$, the empirical equations of the gas mixture were correlated in terms of saturated pressure, density and viscosity. They were obtained by regression analysis based on the mixing rule. The empirical equation of saturated pressure was assumed as the first order function of temperature. The empirical form of density was expressed as compressibility factor and saturated pressure while the empirical equation of viscosity was formulated as a power function of temperature. This empirical equations of the physical properties were obtained in the composition of Ar, $N_2$and $CO_2$, 40/50/10(mol. %).

For Halon-1301 regulated by Montreal Protocol and $CO_2$as its alternatives, the empirical equations of density, viscosity, and enthalpy were correlated in terms of temperature. They were obtained by regression analysis from the experimental data in the literature. The empirical equation of density was expressed as compressibility factor by the second- order function of temperature. The empirical equation of viscosity was formulated as a power function, and a correction factor was considered to cover the wider range of temperature. Finally, heat capacity as well as enthalpy were well fitted by empirical form of the second-order temperature. The correlation coefficients of the empirical equations in this work were more than 0.99.

For Freon-23, a conventional extinguished agent regulated by Montreal Protocol and HFC-227ea, its alternative, the empirical equations were correlated in terms of saturated pressure, density, viscosity, enthalpy and surface tension. They were obtained by regression analysis from the experimental data in the literature. The empirical equations of saturated pressure were expressed as the second and third order function of temperature. The empirical equation of density was expressed as compressibility factor and saturated pressure by a function of temperature. The empirical equation of viscosity was formulated as a power function. Heat capacities as well as enthalpies were well fitted by empirical form of the second-order temperature. Finally, surface tension simply has linear function form in terms of temperature.

The physical properties which must be considered as engineering factors affecting on the evaporation process of fruit juices are boiling point rise, density, viscosity, thermal conductivity and specific heat. These factors are varied with food ingredients, soluble solids, pressure and temperature. In the reserch, it has been worked to obtain the data and to develop prediction model for the boiling point rise as a faction of soluble solid and pressure by the regression of SPSS package program. For the prediction model of density, it was developed as a fuction of soluble solid content on apple and pear juices. For the viscosity model, it was establised by the factors of temperature and content of soluble solid through the optimization program.

Inert gases, Af, $N_2$, $CO_2$, as a Halon alternative, the empirical equations were correlated in terms of saturated pressure, density and viscosity, They were obtained by regression analysis from the experimental data in the literature. The empirical equations of saturated pressure were expressed as the second and third order function of temperature. The empirical equation for Ar and $N_2$ of density were expressed as the first order function of temperature. And $CO_2$ was expressed as the second and third order function of temperature. The empirical equation of viscosity was formulated as a power function with temperature. This empirical equations would allow us to predict pure component state.

In this paper, we study the coating performance according to the slot-die conditions in the coating process. The quality of the slot-die coating depends on factors such as feeding speed of film, the viscosity of liquid, and the pressure applied to the slot-die. In this study, we determine the optimum conditions for a stable coating by performing 2-D and 3-D simulations. We carry out numerical simulations with respect to the feeding velocity of the film, the pressure of the slot-die inlet, and the viscosity of the coating liquid. Based on the results, the coating was the most reliable when the pressure of the inlet was $5kgf/cm^2$, the viscosity was about 100 cps and the velocity was 20 m/min.

Generally, OPC(ordinary portland cement) is used for grouting in Korea, and bentonite has usually been added to prevent the deposition of cement particles. The dispersion of CB(cement bentonite) grout is influenced by variable factors i.e. water to cement ratio, particle size of cement, kind of bentonite, adding volume, method of adding, viscosity of CB grout materials and curdling time. Among variable factors, the viscosity of CB grout materials is influenced by the dispersion, and dispersion is improved as the speed of grout mixer increase. In this paper, the specification of construction was derived by estimating physical characteristics of CB grout materials and confirming the sate of dispersion. The results show that the engineering characteristics of CB grout materials vary with the water to cement ratio and the mixing speed.

Polyalphaolefin (PAO) is a synthetic lubricant that is superior to mineral-based lubricants in terms of physical and chemical characteristics such as low pour point (PP), and high viscosity index (VI). This paper first reports a novel preparation route for a synthetic lubricant via alkylation of isoparaffins using a peroxide initiator without olefin. Alkylation of three kinds of isoparaffins such as i-$C_{16}$, i-$C_{18}$, and i-$C_{23}$ as well as alkylation of i-$C_{18}$ with 2-pentene using di-tert butyl peroxide initiator were conducted under various conditions to confirm alkylation reaction from isoparaffins themselves i.e; Single-molecule alkylation. Various properties of each alkylates (VI and PP) were investigated as a synthetic lubricant. Single-molecule alkylation made from i-$C_{16}$ a,nd i-$C_{18}$ showed ultra high VI (>140) and low PP (< $-30^{\circ}C$).
