The application of microorganisms in the field of construction material is rapidly increasing worldwide; however, almost all studies that were investigated were bacterial sources with mineral-producing activity and not with organic substances. The difference in the efficiency of using bacteria as an organic agent is that it could improve the durability of cement material. This study aimed to assess the use of biofilm-forming microorganisms as binding agents to increase the compressive strength of cement-sand material. We isolated 13 alkaliphilic biofilmforming bacteria (ABB) from a cement tetrapod block in the West Sea, Korea. Using 16S RNA sequence analysis, the ABB were partially identified as Bacillus algicola KNUC501 and Exiguobacterium marinum KNUC513. KNUC513 was selected for further study following analysis of pH and biofilm formation. Cement-sand mortar cubes containing KNUC513 exhibited greater compressive strength than mineral-forming bacteria (Sporosarcina pasteurii and Arthrobacter crystallopoietes KNUC403). To determine the biofilm effect, Dnase I was used to suppress the biofilm formation of KNUC513. Field emission scanning electron microscopy image revealed the direct involvement of organic-inorganic substance in cement-sand mortar.

The existing nuclear power plants have been often redesigned by increasing or decreasing electrical power without changing design concept by the request of utility, economic factors or other factors. When the cost of power plant equipment redesigned by changing reactor power and electrical power is estimated, if its quotation is not available in the market place, cost scaling factor(CSF) applies to the cost of existing plant equipment and then the new-designed equipment cost can be calculated. In this paper, we review CSFs according to plant capacity change cases in United State DOE, EPRI, ABB, SWEC and introduce the results applied to Korean PWR 1000MWe and 1400MWe.

Dynamic behaviors are analyzed for an automatic ball balancer (ABB) with triple races, which is a device to reduce the unbalanced mass of optical disk drives (ODD) such as CD-ROM or DVD drives. The nonlinear equations of motion are derived by using Lagrange's equations with the polar coordinate system. It is shown that the polar coordinate system provides the complete stability analysis while the rectangular coordinate system used in other previous studies has limitations on the stability analysis. For the stability analysis, the equilibrium positions and the linearized perturbation equations are obtained by the perturbation method. Based on the linearized equations, the stability of the system is analyzed around the equilibrium positions; furthermore, to confirm the stability, the time responses for the nonlinear equations of motion are computed by using a time integration method and experimental analyses are performed. Theoretical and experimental results show a superiority of the ABB with triple races.

3D printing technology is recognized as a core technology that will lead the next generation, and is a field that can have a large ripple effect if it innovates the existing construction production method. Therefore, this study deals with the development of a 3d printing system using an articulated robot for construction purposes. In this system, ABB robot was used to control the developed cement gun accurately. The system is composed of mixer to mix cementitious materials, pump to transfer the materials, abb robot to motion control and cement gun to extrude the materials to print required construction parts. Using the system developed in this study, a suitable mix ratio of cementitious materials was found and successively printed a 1m high structure that demonstrated possibility of printing structures using 3d printer. In the future, we plan to build a foundation for automated construction through research on construction methods and materials that can be continuously layered for the system.

In this paper, we study the monotonicity of the Dittert function (abb. MD) on the line segment from A .mem. $K_{n}$ to J$_{n}$ generalizing both the Dittert conjecture and the Monotonicity conjecture for permanent, and obtain a sufficient condition on A .mem. $K_{n}$ for which the MD holds. It is also proved that if A .mem. $K_{n}$ satisfies the Dokovic inequality (1.2) then MD holds for A, and a subclass of $K_{n}$ for which MD holds is found. is found.

Nowadays inverters are widely used for energy-saving and factory automation. Accordingly the characteristics and functions of the inverter are well understood. To our surprise, the characteristics and functions of the inverter-driven induction motor are not well understood. In this technical review, the electrical and mechanical characteristics of the inverter-driven motor, the optimal combination of the inverter with motor, the special design of the inverter-driven motor, and the application of the inverter with the existing motor are given, based on ABB Drives' experiences and technical data.

영광 3, 4호기는 ABB-CE 사의 System 80 원자로와 비교해서 원자로 내부 구조물의 수력학적 설계 목적과 방법 이 동일하고, 단지 원자로의 크기와 출력이 상대적으로 작아진 내부 구조물이 축소된 형태이다. 따라서 System 80 유동 모델 시험에서 측정된 실험 결과로부터 영광 3, 4호기 연료 집합체 수에 맞게 보간법을 사용하여 보수적으로 유량 분포를 구하고 영광 3, 4호기 유동 모델 시험에서 얻어진 유량 분포와 비교하여 원자로의 수력학적 특성을 검토하고 자각에 대해 열적 여유도를 구하여 이런 경우에 원자로 유동 모델 시험을 수행하지 않고 이전의 실험 결과를 설계에 사용할 수 있는 가에 대해 연구하였다.
