This study aims to compare relative moisture content and gravity moisture content in calculating the rational percentage of moisture content. High-strength concrete, which is made of blast-furnace slag and silica fume, was used as the compound for this study, and the specimens were made into a saturated condition through the vacuum suction. According to the results of this study, all specimens were completely dried when they were under the temperature of 105℃ for more than 31 days. They were fully saturated after 72 hours through vacuum suction. In addition, relative moisture content responded more sensitively to moisture content than gravity moisture content did, so it can be concluded that relative moisture content is better in calculating the rational percentage of moisture content.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to understand a relation of water content measurement with two different method, water removal method and dry method. Methods: 72 hydrogel contact lens containing various water content (ranged from 47% to 58%) were measured by the gravimetric method at 20$^{\circ}C$and 21% of the humidity. We weighed the dried test specimen at room temperature for 30 min after cooling. Results: In dry blotting method, the water content was measured to 47.43${\pm}$8.48%. The water contents was measured to 48.15${\pm}$8.36% with wet blotting condition. It was found that wet blotting method showed the higher water content of about 7% than dry blotting method. In water content with two dry methods, each of results was measured by 47.89${\pm}$8.06% and 49.56${\pm}$7.06%. In case of microwave method, the water content was measured significantly higher water content of about 1.67% than vacuum oven method. However, no statistical difference was found (p>0.05). Conclusions: In water removal method (Dry blotting method and Wet blotting method) to weigh hydrated test specimen, wet blotting method showed significantly higher water content than dry blotting method. Also in case of dry methods (vacuum oven and microwave) to weigh dry test specimen, water content of microwave method showed higher water content than vacuum oven method, but it should be noted that microwave oven method must be used carefully to measure accurateness on the specimen position and wave power.

본 연구는 국내 유통쌀의 포장재로 널리 이용되고 있는 지대포장재와 합성수지계열의 PE 및 AL 포장재의 저장기간에 따른 품질특성을 구명하고, 포장재의 투습도 5~700g/$m^2$범위의 4수준에 대하여 함수율, 중량 및 지방산가의 변화를 측정하여 포장재의 적정 투습도를 결정하는데 목적이 있다. 지대, PE 및 AL포장재의 저장 4주 후의 중량은 7.8, 0.1 및 1.5%감소하였으며, 함수율은 지대포장의 경우 3.7%(w.b.)감소하였다. 지방산가는 저장 4주 후에 지대포장은 9.4, PE포장재는 42.0, AL포장재는 16.8(mg KOH/100g)로 나타났다. 저장온도 20 및 3$0^{\circ}C$에서의 포장재 투습도에 따른 중량, 함수율 및 지방산가의 변화를 고려했을 때 130~210g/$m^2$이 적정한 것으로 나타났다.

Physical characteristics of cement-admixed clay such as water content, specific gravity, unit weight and void ratio are main factors for strength, compressibility and prediction of consolidation behavior. In the past, the physical characteristics of admixed soils could be understanded through complex laboratory tests and field survey after construction. In this study, the tests were performed with conditions such as clay water contents 0%-170%, cement contents 5%-25% and curing period 3-90days after that analyzed for changes which are water content, specific gravity unit weight and void ratio of admixed soils. A prediction of properties through mechanical relationships with clay in situ water content, cement content and curing period could be proposed using the test results. The prediction equation of void ratio of admixed soils was derived using void ratio equation in geotechnical engineering and compared with test results of bangkok clay and then this study could be verified.

Investigation of resaturation and thermal-hydro-mechanical behavior for the buffer of a repository requires measuring the water content of compacted bentonite. This study investigated the relative humidity of compacted bentonites using a humidity sensor (Vaisala HMT 334) applicable under high temperature and pressure, and then conducted a multi-regression analysis based on the measured results to determine relationships among the water content, relative humidity, and temperature. The relationships for the compacted bentonites with the dry densities of 1,500 $kg/m^3$ and 1,600 $kg/m^3$ were expressed as ${\omega}=0.196RH-0.029T+1.391({r^2=0.96)}$ and ${\omega}=0.199RH-0.029T+2.596({r^2=0.98)}$, respectively. These were then used to interpret the resaturation of bentonite blocks in the KENTEX test.

Uniform milling is regarded as a very essential technology to produce high quality milled rice in Rice Recessing Complex. But non-uniformly milled rice can be produced very easily because of unadequate operation methods of milling system and bad brown rice conditions. This study was conducted to find out the bad effect of non-uniform milling degrees and store temperatures on quality characteristics such as taste of cooked rice, fatty acidity, whiteness and so on of milled rice during storage. According to the increase of non-uniform milling degrees, the fatty acid acidity and b value were increased very rapidly, and taste of cooked rice and whiteness were decreased very rapidly during storage. And the general quality characteristics of milled rice were better at low temperature storage of $5^{\circ}C$ than at high temperature storage at $25^{\circ}C$.

To improve crop productivity with optimal water management in soilless culture, the information of physical characteristics of the root medium including water behavior should be required. The objectives of this study were to analyze the physical characteristics including hydraulic properties of the root media commercially used and to analyze the relationships between actual moisture content and measured one by FDR sensor. The weight of the medium was measured by load cell for calculating the actual moisture content. The accuracy of the moisture content measured by FDR sensor was obtained by comparing with the actual one. The water holding capacity of the coir was lower than those of the rockwool due to the features of large and rough particles of the coir. The moisture content measured by FDR sensor showed large difference from the actual moisture contents measured by loadcell, indicating that the calibration of FDR sensor is needed before starting measurement. The optimum range of moisture content for irrigation control was narrow in the coir than the rockwool due to the lower water holding capacity and rehydration capability of the coir. The results of this study can be useful in establishing adequate irrigation strategies in the soilless culture.

The characteristic changes in weight, moisture content, and dimension at the early adsorptiondesorption stage of PEG-treated Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis), Japanese larch (Larix kaempferi), mongolian oak (Quercus mongolica) and sargent cherry (Prunus sargentii) woods were investigated. The wood samples were treated with PEG 1000, 2000 and 4000, and conditioned at the relative 98%, 65% and 20% for humidities of one week. The weight of Korean pine, Japanese larch and sargent cherry woods treated with PEG 1000 and 2000 during the adsorption-desorption was significantly changed, but mongolian oak was slightly changed. Moisture content was highly Moisture content was highly fluctuated by the change of relative humidity in the three species except oak wood. Although the weight of PEG-treated wood; however, changes in dimension could be prevented by PEG treatment in all species tested.

This study was conducted to investigate the penetration of PEG for conservation treatment conditions of archaeological waterlogged wood. The weight percent gain was examined, depending on the solvent of PEG, concentration and treatment period and temperature of treatment solutions. The penetration of PEG in the cell lumina of treatment woods was observed by scanning electron microscope. The results showed that the type of solvents had no influence on PEG penetration. In the concentration of the PEG treatment solutions, the weight percent gains (WPGs) were increased with increase in concentration of PEG. In terms of the period of the soaking treatment, a maximum WPGs were obtained for only 20 days. There was no distinctive difference in the WPGs by difference the temperature of the treatment. In conclusion, in the conservation of small size of archaeological waterlogged wood, it is confirmed that optimal solvent type and treatment period of PEG are water and 20 days, respectively.
