In order to determine the effects of strawberry powder on the baking quality of cakes, yellow layer cakes were prepared with four freeze-dried strawberry powders substitutes, at levels of 0%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4% and 5%. Then, the physical properties, baking properties and sensory characteristics of the finished cakes were assessed. The cakes were stored for 6 days at $22^{\circ}C$ and the change in hardness during storage was evaluated. The Viscosity of the doughs, as well as the specific gravity, increased as the amount of strawberry powder in the flour increased. The volume indices of the strawberry powder cakes were less than that of control, but the other indices did not differ from those of the controls. The crust color of the strawberry cakes evidenced a reduction in L. a and b values. The crumb color also evidenced a reduction in the L and b values, but the a values increased. Sensory characteristics were evaluated by 60 students from the Dept. of Food and Biotechnology. Crust color, crumb color, moistness, softness, taste and overall acceptance were measured via a 5-scale acceptance test. The crust color of cakes containing more than 3% strawberry powders and the crumb color of all strawberry cakes evidenced lower scores than the controls. Cakes containing 5% strawberry powders were least acceptable in terms of overall characteristics. Although cakes prepared with flour containing up to 4% strawberry powder were less acceptable than the controls, general sensory scores ranged in an average${\sim}$like range. The incorporation of strawberry power into cakes was shown to increase the overall hardness.

The suction of unsaturated soil is one of the important variables to influence on volume change behavior. This research was performed to analyze the soil-water characteristic of decomposed granite soils in Chung Cheong area, and showed relationship with grain-size distribution. Empirical parameters a, n, m are main variables that can be used in the empirical equations in order to predict unsaturated soil. Decomposed granite soils is taken at 12 field, and redistributed due to a, n, m parameters. The result of Extractor test is showed that matric suction is effected by the grain-size distribution curve's left-right location, degree of an angle and fine contents of a soil.

The separation of nitrogen heterocyclic compound (NHC) contained in a model coal tar fraction of nine components system was investigated by distribution equilibrium. The model coal tar fraction comprising NHC group (NHCs; indole (In), quinoline (Q), iso-quinoline (iQ), quinaldine(Qu)), bicyclic aromatic compound group (BACs; 1-methylnaphthalene (1MN), 2-methylnaphthalene (2MN), dimethylnaphthalene (DMN)), biphenyl (Bp) and phenyl ether (Pe) and the aqueous methanol were used as the raw materials and the solvent of this work, respectively. A batch-stirred tank was used as the liquid-liquid contact unit of this work. The distribution coefficient of NHCs increased by increasing the equilibrium operation temperature, whereas the selectivity of NHCs with respect to BACs decreased. Decreasing the initial volume ratio of water to the solvent resulted in deteriorating the selectivity of NHCs in reference to BACs, but improving the distribution coefficients of NHCs. At a fixed experimental condition, the sequence of the distribution coefficient and the selectivity with reference to BACs for each groups was increased in order of NHCs > Bp > BACs > Pe and NHCs > Bp> Pe, respectively. Also, the sequence of the distribution coefficient for entire compounds was in order of In > iQ = Q > Qu > Bp > 1MN = 2MN > Pe > DMN. The maximum yield of NHCs and the selectivity of NHCs based on BACs obtained by methanol extraction were 94 and 23%, respectively. Furthermore, the recovery process for NHCs from coal tar was studied by using the experimental results from this work.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of the substitution of flour with young-barley-leaf powder on the quality characteristics of yellow layer cake. The physical properties of the cakes (i.e., viscosity, specific gravity, specific volume, cake index, and color) were measured, and the changes in hardness during the three-day storage at $22^{\circ}C$ were measured. Sensory evaluation was done with five-scale acceptance test. Both the viscosity and specific gravity of the batter were significantly influenced by the substitution. Nonetheless, no significant difference was shown in the specific volumes of the cakes. The volume indices of the cakes containing young-barley-leaf powder were higher than those of the control. The lightness, redness, and yellowness values of the crusts decreased with the addition of young-barley-leaf powder. While the lightness values of the crumbs decreased, the redness and yellowness values increased. The substitution of more than 6% flour with young-barley-leaf powder kept the hardness of the cakes lower than that of the control during the three-day storage. The cakes containing 2, 4, and 6% young-barely-leaf powder showed no significant differences from the control in the acceptance test, except in the crumb color.

Steel industry produces many by-products and wastes such as blast furnace slag, electric arc furnace slag, and converter slag. As in the case of rock, the main component of steel slag are CaO and $SiO_2$ ; further, steel slag is as alkaline as portland cement or concrete. Electric arc furnace oxidizing slag is possible to use as an aggregate for concrete ; however, it has been reclaimed because of it's expansibility caused by free CaO. Recently, a innovative rapid cooling method for melting steel slag has been developed in Korea, which reduces free lime content to minimum level and increases the stability of iron oxide. Therefore, this study describes the results of a series of research to utilize globular shape of electric arc furnace oxidizing slag fine aggregates made by rapidly cooled method for the construction industry by cooling rapidly melted slag from the steel industry. First of all, an experiment was carried out to investigate the quality characteristics of rapidly cooled electric arc furnace oxidizing slag fine aggregates in order to determine whether they can be applied to the construction industry. Then, by applying them to concrete of various particle sizes, we explored experimentally the desired condition to apply rapidly cooled electric arc furnace oxidizing slag fine aggregates to concrete.

The purification of indole from 54.3wt% indole fraction (temperature range of distillate: $250{\sim}255^{\circ}C$) recovered by extraction-distillation combination of coal tar fraction (temperature range of distillate: $240{\sim}265^{\circ}C$) was examined by solute crystallization. The feed consists of eight components such as quinoline, iso-quinoline, indole, quinaldine, 1-methylnaphthalene, 2-methylnaphthalene, biphenyl and phenyl ether. Hexane and an aqueous solution of methanol (50 : 50 vol%) were used as the crystallization solvent and the coolant, respectively. A batch stirred tank of glass material was used as a crystallization apparatus. By increasing the operation temperature and the volume ratio of solvent to feed at initial, the purity of indole increas ed, but yields of indole showed a decreasing tendency. Solute crystallization method using hexane as a solvent was excellent because the purity of 99.3 wt% indole was recovered at the yield of 50% without washing operation.

A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of substitution of the flour with Lycium chinense powder on the characteristics of yellow layer cake. Physical properties including specific gravity, specific volume, cake index and color were measured. Also, the hardness change during 6 storage days at 22℃ were measured. Even though the specific gravity of batter decreased significantly with respective addition of 12%, 16% and 20% Lycium chinense powder, the specific volume of cakes did not show difference except the case of 20% addition. The addition of Lycium chinense powder did not influence on cakes' appearance negatively except that of 20% cake. The crust became darker as the level of Lycium chinense powder increased. The crumb color turned into dark orange with addition of Lycium chinense powder, and the intensity became stronger as the level of Lycium chinense powder increased. Both 4% and 8% Lycium chinense powder cakes were scored as same as control in moistness and softness. And they were favored as much as control.

Drying shrinkage in the hardened cement is known to change in volume by decreasing the moisture content in the hardened body, and it is known that the higher the W / C and the higher the content of the paste, the larger the drying shrinkage. In the case of ECC, more drying shrinkage occurs compared to concrete, since it does not contain coarse aggregate. Since ECC is an important material for tensile performance, the effect of restrained tensile stress on mechanical tensile behavior should be considered. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of stress caused by restraint on the tensile behavior of ECC. The mechanical properties of the specimens were tested by uniaxial tension tests with different restraints. As a result, the difference of tensile behavior according to restraint stress was observed and the cause was analyzed.

Discontinuities such as faults, fractures and joints in rock mass play the dominant role in the mechanical and hydraulic properties of the rock mass. The key factors that influence on the flow of groundwater are hydraulic and geometric characteristics of discontinuities and their connectivity. In this study, a program that analyzes groundwater flow in the 3D discontinuity network was developed on the assumption that the discontinuity characteristics such as density, trace length, orientation and aperture have particular distribution functions. This program generates discontinuities in a three-dimensional space and analyzes their connectivity and groundwater flow. Due to the limited computing capacity In this study, REV was not exactly determined, but it was inferred to be greater than 25$\times$25$\times$25 ㎥. By calculating the extent of aperture that influences on the groundwater flow, it was found that the discontinuities with the aperture smaller than 30% of the mean aperture had little influence on the groundwater flow. In addition, there was little difference in the equivalent hydraulic conductivity for the the two cases when considering and not considering the boundary effect. It was because the groundwater flow was mostly influenced by the discontinuities with large aperture. Among the parameters considered in this study, the length, aperture, and orientation of discontinuities had the greatest influence on the equivalent hydraulic conductivity of rock mass in their order. In case of existence of a fault in rock mass, elements of the equivalent hydraulic conductivity tensor parallel to the fault fairly increased in their magnitude but those perpendicular to the fault were increased in a very small amount at the first stage and then converged.
