The physicochemical properties of stainless steel fibers which were modified by oxygen plasma treatment were analyzed through microscopy and XPS analysis. The wettability of the surface of the stainless steel fiber was observed by measuring water contact angle to find out the effect of the plasma treatment time on the surface characteristics of the stainless steel fiber. In addition, in order to understand the effect of oxygen plasma treatment on the deterioration of the stainless steel fiber properties, the physical properties due to plasma treatment was investigated by measuring the weight reduction, tensile strength, elongation, tensile modulus of the stainless steel fibers according to the treatment time. As a result, the stainless steel fiber surface was etched by the oxygen plasma and the surface became more wettable by the introduction of hydrophilic functional groups. However the physical properties of the stainless steel fiber were not significantly deteriorated even if the surface of the stainless steel fiber made hydrophilic.

This study was carried out to utilize the waste heat from office building for turfgrass culture on a roof garden. Heating system had been installed in the middle of soil profile on the turf areas in the garden plots. The results showed that the installation of heating system increased the shoot density, turfgrass quality, coverage rate, and root length compared with the control plots. The surface temperature of heating plots reached at $10.9^{\circ}C$ when the control plot showed $0^{\circ}C$, however, the soil moisture content was decreased 1.9% by the heating system. When the height of the snow accumulation reached over a 15cm, the it took only 4 days to melt out completely, while the height did not changed those period at the control plots. When the water temperature in boiler increased to $60^{\circ}C$ from a proper temperature of $55^{\circ}C$ in turf growth, the desiccation from leaf tip was started to occur caused by drought stress. More detail research should be followed in stress physiology in turf management in roof garden operation.

A plastic has a various advantages in engineering elements that it can be formed a curve surface without restriction of shape and product the high volume with various color and lower price. Also, it is being used for many parts of automobile as the weight of cars is getting lighter. The Door A-Fuel Filler is a automobile plastic part by injection molding production. The injected products are involved a lot of factors for the inferior goods after painting. Therefore the painted products are required to have the process of the polishing in order to eliminate the faults. Now polishing process is being worked by hands. The workers tend to evade the process of polishing because the working needs a lot of powers momentarily. This paper presents the development of auto-polishing system that can check the inferior goods by the vision system and control the polishing process by the motion system. As a result, Shorten production time (30 seconds), and decreases by 1 person to work to increase the competitiveness of the production cost was to expect improvement.

The stippling techniques, which represent objects with numerous points using pen and ink. The previous stippling techniques for Non-Photorsealistc Rendering(NPR) use single-colored points to represent the tone of gray image ur the material of surface. This paper presents a new stippling technique with various colored points based on the analysis of color information. By using the color information of the input image on HSV model, we define the color weight function that allows to determine automatically the number and size of points. The color jittering based on Munsell's color model can generate stippling drawings using various colored points to represent the image. Our color stippling method is expected to be used in many areas such as animation, digital art, video processing and CG tool.

Manganese oxide/ hydrogen peroxide($MnO_2$/${H_2}{O_2}$) reactions were investigated as an alternative to Fenton-like reaction to reduce chlorinated organic compounds in groundwater This system showed high degradation of CT with low ${H_2}{O_2}$concentration($\leq$294mM) at neutral condition, and CT degradation increased with increasing pH values. The rate of CT degradation was not so much dependent on increase in $MnO_2$concentration since increase in production of oxygen during the reaction obstructed reaction of ${H_2}{O_2}$ on the surface of $MnO_2$. These results show that $MnO_2$catalyzed Ponton-like reaction could be a potential alternative method for treating chlorinated organic compounds in groundwater.

티타늄 화합물은 뛰어난 물리적 특성과 인체 무해성을 가지고 있어 생체, 내식 및 내마모 재료 등에 널리 응용되고 있으며, 다양한 색상 구현을 통한 미려한 외관 등 기능성을 위한 표면처리 분야에도 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 이중 질화 티타늄은 금색을 대체할 수 있는 물질로 코팅방법과 기판온도, 바이어스, 질소유량 등과 같은 공정변수 제어를 통해 그 물성을 변화시킬 수 있어 기능적 측면과 함께 미려한 외관처리에 응용이 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 아크(cathodic arc) 코팅 시스템을 이용하여 다양한 조건에서 TiN 박막을 제조하고 그 특성을 평가하였다. 아크 장비는 화합물 박막을 코팅할 수 있는 아크 소스와 시편 홀더, 가스 주입구, 시편 가열장치 그리고 배기 장치로 구성되어 있고, 아크 소스에 장착된 타겟은 99.5%의 Ti 타겟을 사용하였다. 시편과 타겟 간의 거리는 약 31cm이며, 시편은 알코올과 아세톤으로 초음파 세척 된 강판(냉연 강판), 실리콘 웨이퍼를 사용하였다. 시편을 진공용기에 장착하고 ${\sim}10^{-6}$ Torr까지 진공배기를 실시하고, Ar 가스를 진공용기 내로 공급하여 ${\sim}10^{-4}$ Torr에서 시편에 bias (Pulse : 400V)를 인가한 후 아크를 발생시켜 약 5분간 청정을 실시하였다. 플라즈마 청정이 끝나면 시편에 인가된 bias를 차단하고, 질소 유량, 온도, bias, 시간 등의 공정변수에 따라 코팅을 실시하였다. 질소의 유량이 80sccm 일 때, Ti 금속 결정구조가 나타났는데, 이는 질소와 충분하게 반응하지 못한 Ti이 기판에 코팅되어 나타나는 현상으로 판단된다. 색상변화에서는 질소 유량이 증가함에 따라 노란색이 짙어지며, TiN은 시편에 인가되는 bias 전압이 높아질수록 붉은색이 증가하고, 온도에 따른 큰 변화는 관찰되지 않았다. 공정변수에 따른 반사율 변화는 TiN의 경우 질소 가스 유량이 200sccm, bias 150V, 공정 온도 200도에서 반사율이 가장 높았으며, 코팅 시간이 짧을수록 반사율이 높아지는 경향을 나타냈다. 따라서 본 연구에서 얻어진 결과를 외관 코팅 분야에 응용한다면 장식성과 외관의 경도, 내마모성, 내식성의 향상 등 많은 장점을 가질 것으로 예상된다.

Cesium discharged from nuclear power plants requires technology for safely treating, due to its harmfulness to the human body. In this work, activated carbon impregnated with triethylenediamine (TEDA) process was applied to effectively remove cesium dissolved in aqueous solution. The surfaces on the activated carbon were chemically modified with various TEDA concentrations (2.5, 5.0, 7.5, 10.0, and 12.5%) and the optimal TEDA concentration was obtained to be 5.0% by the assessment for cesium removal efficiency. In addition, when 5.0% TEDA-impregnated activated carbon was used to treat 5.0 and 10.0 mg/L of cesium, the removal efficiency was 71.5% and 61.1%, respectively. Also, it was found to be the chemical adsorption from the adsorption kinetics experiment by temperature change. A novel remediation technology developed in this study could be practically employed for removing cesium contained in surface and ground water.

The purpose of this paper is to find an efficient heat source to amplify the surface temperature of damaged concrete structures for infrared thermography. we compare two different heat sources of far-infrared lamp and halogen lamp each other for their efficiency. The two heat sources were applied to the concrete specimens. Two different concrete specimens were used: one was the concrete containing internal void and the other was wrapped with partially unbonded fiber reinforced polymer sheet. it was found that the far-infrared lamp was more efficient than the halogen lamp. In addition, we propose a new algorithm to make the damage zone displayed clear in the image obtained from the thermographic operation. The algorithm is a combination of Gauss filtering process and the Prewitt mask operation.
