It is very important to find out how to economically recycle waste tyres thrown away from the industry to the field. This one is also consistent with environmentally-friend policy. Many papers have been produced for focusing on the strength using waste-tyre material. Now, many kind of particle sizes of waste-tyre material are being produced in Korea, with support of the government. This study is to figure out how much the waste tyre mixing concrete resists against temperature at fire and how much decrease rate it shows. All the result are compared here in order to find out the way to applicate it to the practical structure for this area. The mixing proportion rate is selected with an experience and try-and error method. Eventually some of distinctive results are mentioned in the conclusion. The waste tyre concrete heated with $600^{\circ}C$ temperature was almost no change of its strength comparing with the normal one.

Traumatic pulmonary cysts are rare cavitary pulmonary lesions following nonpenetrating thoracic trauma. The pathogenesis of this lesion Is a tear in the pulmonary parenchyma with leakage of air and fluid into this tear. The diagnosis is one of exclusion, based on an awareness that lung cyst can develop after trauma. Once traumatic lung cyst is diagnosed, the principle of the treatment is in-hospital obser- vation with respirato y support. However, if a cyst is complicated by infection unresponsive to a trial of appropriate antibiotic therapy and does not progressively become smaller, surgical intervention is indicated. Authors recently experienced a case of traumatic lung cyst in a 19 year-old man. Case presentation and review of articles on traumatic pulmonary cyst follows.

Background: Goal of the initial treatment of primary spontaneous pneumothorax is re-expansion of the lung by evacuation of air from pleural space. Authors thought small caliber catheter could reach to this goal instead of conventional large bore chest tube. This retrospective study was undertaken to assess the effectiveness of 7-French (Fr) catheter for the initial treatment of primary spontaneous pneumothorax. Material and Method: Between May 2003 and April 2005, 111 patients with primary spontaneous pneumothorax were managed with tube drainage; 7 Fr catheter for 86 patients and 24-French chest tube for 25 patients. We analyzed catheter indwelling time, use of analgesics, re-expansion of the lung, and catheter related problems by medical records. Result: Mean catheter indwelling time was $2.4{\pm}1.1$ days in 7 Fr group and $2.3{\pm}1.3$ days in chest tube group (p>0.05). All patients with 24 Fr catheter needed analgesics injection but never in 7Fr group. Complete re-expansion of the lung based on plane chest radiograph was obtained in 77% of 7 Fr group. The problem related with 7 Fr catheter was kinking, which showed in 5.6%. Conclusion: Application of the 7 Fr catheter for initial management of primary spontaneous pneumothorax was as effective as 24 Fr catheter.

This study is conducted to utilize waste concrete powder made as a by-product manufacturing high quality recycled aggregate. The blaine fineness of the used waste concrete powder was 928 and $1,360cm^2/g$. As the main characteristic of waste concrete powder, it showed an angular type similar to cement, but hydrated products were attached on the surface of particles. In addition, the size of the particles of waste concrete powder was larger than OPC and in terms of chemical components it had higher $SiO_2$ contents. The viscosity of the paste that mixed waste concrete power decreased by 62% at the most, compared to the paste that only used OPC, and the final set time was delayed about two hours. As composition rates of waste concrete powder increased, the flow value decreased by 30% at the most according to the comparison with mortar that only used OPC, and sorptivity coefficients increased by 70%. The compressive strength of mortar decreased by 73% at the most as composition rates of waste concrete powder increased. According to the test results, it is desirable to use waste concrete powder by combining OPC appropriately(below 15%).

The optimum regeneration conditions for the regeneration of three way spent catalysts (TWCs), which were taken from automobiles with different driving conditions, were investigated to evaluate the suitability as alternative catalysts for removing VOCs. The spent catalysts were washed with five different acids ($HNO_3$, $H_2SO_4$, $C_2H_2O_4$, $C_6H_8O_7$, and $H_3PO_4$) to remove contaminants and examine the optimum conditions for recovering the catalytic activity. The physicochemical properties of spent and its regenerated TWCs were evaluated by using nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms, XRD, and ICP. The relative atomic ratios of contaminants and platinum group metals (PGMs) of the spent TWCs were greatly dependent on the placed positions. The main contaminants formed were lubricant oil additives and metallic components. Also, the regeneration treatment increased the PGMs ratio, BET surface area, and average pore diameter of TWCs. The catalytic activity results indicated that the spent TWCs have the possibility for removing VOCs. Moreover, the employed acid treatments greatly enhanced the catalytic activity of the spent TWCs. Especially, nitric and oxalic acids provided the most improvement in the catalytic behavior. The catalytic activities of the regenerated TWCs were significantly influenced by the containing platinum ratios rather than the removal ratios of contaminants and the changes in the structural properties offered by the acid treatments.

In this study, it was examined the effect of carbonized wastewoods on soil improvement and effect of charcoal size on tree seedling growth Thuja accidentalis seedlings grow better in the charcoal-treated soil than in the non-treated soil. Especially Pinus koraiensis charcoal with good adsorption. brought the best growth result. The charcoal treatment also improved the height growth of transplanted Aesuculus turbinate seedling However charcoal sizes(i.e. powder and particle) did not affect the growth of the seedling. Also apple trees which had been suffering from rotten roots caused by root rot was recovered by application particle-sized charcoal.

The aerodynamic power and torque of wind turbines are extremely nonlinear. Therefore, the overall dynamic behavior of a wind turbine exhibits nonlinear characteristics that are dependent on the magnitude of the wind speed. The nonlinear aerodynamic characteristics of the wind turbine also affect the characteristics of the control system of the wind turbine. Therefore, the analysis of the nonlinear aerodynamic characteristics of wind turbine is essential in designing the wind-turbine controller. In this study, the nonlinear aerodynamic characteristics and the effects of these characteristics on the closed-loop pitch system with PI controller for an 1-mass model of the wind turbine are investigated above rated power.

In this paper, we handle the estimation method of the received $E_{b}l1_{o}$ for forward closed-loop power control in cdma2000 systems. The estimation of MS-received $E_{b}l1_{o}$ utilizes the symbols related to the forward power control subchannel transmission. The estimation of the received bit energy and noise variance is analyzed for the frequency-selective Rayleigh fading channel. In order to improve SIR (signal-to-interference), the estimation of the received bit energy is made by the coherent combining of the rake-fingers and received I/Q symbols. And, in this paper, we evaluate the performance of forward closed-loop power control according to the mobile speed and the power adjustment step size in terms of the bit error rate (BER) and power control error. Simulation results present the optimal power adjustment step sizes according to the mobile speeds.
