This research elucidates the fundamental properties of carbon dioxide (CO₂)-cured mortar as influenced by varying substitution rates of blast furnace slag fine powder. The findings indicate that CO₂ curing enhances the formation of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃), contributing to pore reduction and the early development of strength. While calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)₂) plays a more pivotal role in the primary development of strength compared to CaCO₃, an increase in the substitution rate of blast furnace slag fine powder results in reduced production of Ca(OH)₂. Nonetheless, the maintenance of strength through CaCO₃ formation is observed even after the depletion of Ca(OH)₂, suggesting that the required performance can be sustained post-exposure to the atmosphere following CO₂ curing. It is noted that substitution rates exceeding 50% lead to performance deterioration due to CO₂, highlighting the necessity for careful adjustment of the substitution ratio.

This paper shows the research of a platform architecture relates to the LTE-based macro basestation; the proposed platform architecture is designed with the interface between the baseband signal and IF (Intermediate Frequency) per codeword. Using this method, we can smoothly transmit/receive a large amounts of data regardless of the number of antenna in a macro base station which is used technology such as massive MIMO. In this paper, We analyzed the evolution of LTE technology and the trend in the development of the LTE-based system. For validation of the proposed architecture, we compare the general architecture of a conventional with the proposed architecture. From the calculation results of transmission quantity data, we see that the proposed architecture can give better performance than the existing architecture. By presenting this architecture, we hope to provide a new foundation for Design and Implementation of a LTE base station platform which is used technology such as massive MIMO, carrier aggregation (CA), coordinated multi point (CoMP).

This study suggests one hypothesis: The strength of the catchment forces of urban community parks can be represented as an equilibrium point model, which is derived from a centrality index for. That model was designed by Reilly(1931) and developed by Godlund(1956). An equilibrium point model for the catchments is represented as followed formulae: m=$\frac{CA2}{CA-CB}$ m=$\frac {{{{{L SQRT {{C}_{A}$.$ {C}_{B}} {CA-CB} Here, m is distance from the center of park A to the cetner of park B. r is radius of a circle where the catchment between park A and B is equal pointed traces. CA is index of the centrality of park A from Reilly's Law. CB is an index of the centrality of park B from Reilly's Law. L is an the distance between park A and B. The equilibrium point model is testified in the case of Chong-ju community parks. The testification has been limited to the application to such manifest outdoor recreational facilities as bentches, even though there are statistically and economically problems for a quantitative model to be testified. But the testification could be a rationale for the catchment forces of urban community parks, which was quantitatively represented that the distance between two or there parks should be related with the feasibility of the parks. Therefore, the urban community park should be planned to be located, hiving separately its identity that might be considered with the facility diversification and the locational competitiveness of a park.

While the conventional vehicle's Head-Units played relatively simple roles (e.g., control of heating ventilation and air conditioning, the radio reception), they have been evolving into vehicle-driver interface with the advent of the concept of Connected Car on top of a rapid development of ICT technology. The Head-Unit is now successfully extended as an IVI (In Vehicle Infotainment) that can operate various functions on multimedia, navigation, information with regards to vehicle's parts (e.g. air pressure, oil gauge, etc.). In this paper, we propose a platform architecture for IVI devices required to achieve the goal as a connected car. Connected car platform (CoCaP) consists of vehicle selective gateway (VSG) for receiving and controlling data from major components of a vehicle, application framework including native and web APIs required to request VSG functionality from outside, and service framework for driver assistance. CoCaP is implemented using Tizen IVI and Android on hardware platforms manufactured for IVI such as Nexcom's VTC1010 and Freescale's i.MX6q/dl, respectively. For more practical verification, CoCaP platform was applied to an real-world finished vehicle. And it was confirmed the vehicle's main components could be controlled using various devices. In addition, by deriving several services for driver assistance and developing them based on CoCaP, this platform is expected to be available in various ways in connected car and ITS environments.

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of calcium concentrations in fertilizer solution on growth and cut flower quality of chrysanthemum 'Biarritz' To achieve this, deficiency symptom and growth characteristics as influenced by controlled Ca concentrations in fertilizer solution were investigated. The analysis of plant tissue and soil solution of root media were also conducted to secure optimum concentration for plant growth. Calcium deficiency developed on the very youngest leaves and the young leaves developed 'cupped' shape as they expand. The cut flower length of 0, 3.0 and 6.0 mM treatments were 105.8, 106.5, and 107.3cm, respectively. Elevated Ca concentration within the range from 0 to 6.0mM in fertilizer solution increased cut flower weight. The cut flower weight of control and 6.0mM treatment were 51.6 and 59.4 g, respectively. The tissue Ca content of 6.0mM treatment in which crops showed the highest growth among treatments was $3.09\%$ based on the dry weight of the youngest fully expanded leaves. From the results, it seems necessary to maintaining tissue Ca content higher than $2.8\%$. Soil Ca concentrations increased as K concentrations in fertilizer solution were elevated. Ca concentration in 0.0, 1.5, 3.0, 4.5 and 6.0mM treatments were 5.0, 7.4, 12.1, 16.5 and $28.2mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$, respectively, at harvesting stage. It is suggested that Ca concentration higher than $25.4mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ in soil solution of root media is required to maintain normal growth.

Carbonation resistance is one of the most influencing factors on durability of concrete. Alkali activated slag (AAS) is known to have weaker resistance for carbonation than OPC due to the low calcium contents. In this paper, the carbonation characteristic of AAS mortar which is related to the basicity (CaO/$SiO_2$) was investigated. In order to give the various basicity conditions, SM (source material) was blended with quicklime (CaO) and silicon dioxide ($SiO_2$) by adopting mechano-chemical treatment method. Experiments including flow test, compressive strength test, carbonation depth test, together with XRD, FTIR and TGA were employed to evaluate the effects of basicity of SM on the carbonation characteristics. The test results showed that the carbonation resistance effectively increased with the increase of the basicity of SM.

The present study aimed to investigate the effect of calcium chloride($CaCl_2$) on the growth and physiological responses of Pinus strobus and the variables that are sensitive to $CaCl_2$. Thus, changes in the visible damage, growth of root collar diameter, plant water content, chlorophyll content and composition, maximum PS II photochemical efficiency, and electron transport rate of P. strobus was analyzed in relation to treatment witih $CaCl_2$. A $CaCl_2$ solution(0.5, 1.0 and 3.0%) was applied in the root zone before leaf unfolding. Leaf browning, defoliation, and drying were observed with $CaCl_2$ application and this pattern was aggravated as the $CaCl_2$ concentration increased and the treatment period became longer. The decrease of growth in root collar diameter and height and leaf water content were observed at $CaCl_2$ 1.0% and 3.0%. The total chlorophyll content indicated that photopigment, PS II photochemical efficiency and electron transport rate significantly decreased at $CaCl_2$ 3.0%. In conclusion, $CaCl_2$ affected leaf water content and led to a decrease of capability in light harvesting and photochemical responses. Also, as a result of the correlation between calcium chloride concentration and growth and physiological response parameters, it was found that the leaf moisture content and the ratio of chlorophyll a and b reflect the damage level of calcium chloride sensitively because their coefficient of determinations were relatively high.

Postharvest dipping of vacuum infiltration treatments of 'Chojuro' pear fruit in $CaCl_2$ resulted in increased calcium content, especially in fruit peel and outer flesh such as just below peel. As $CaCl_2$ concentrations increaced from 2% to 8% in dipping treatment, calcium content became higher. But vacuum infiltration under 200-600 mmHg did not affect and dipping and vaccum infiltration did not have any difference in fruit calcium content. Decreasing of fruit firmness determined at 4 weeks during storage was slower in fruits with $CaCl_2$ treatment than control.

The exterior system of buildings, which is the typical curtain wall, has been made with glass and metal. Theses materials, however, have weaknesses such as inadequate insulating quality, short durability, combustibility and toxic substance. On the other hand, Autoclaved Aerated Concrete(AAC) or Autoclaved Lightweight Concrete(ALC) possess the great energy efficiency and the superb insulating quality as substitute of existing exterior system materials. In this research, strength characteristics and bubble dispersion of hydrothermal synthesis process of AAC based on CaO/$SiO_2$(C/S) ratio are analyzed. C/S ratio is determinated and bubble distribution and compressive strength are studied through the test of varied water-to-solid mineral ratio(W/S). In hydrothermal synthesis program, final C/S ratio is determined as 0.7 consider of the manufacturing process and hydrothermal synthesis is done at $180^{\circ}C$ for 7 hours. The analysis shows slurry has about 2,300cP viscosity and 0.56 specific gravity therefore it is expected AAC has the appropriate facility in the manufacturing process and Hydrates of AAC's Expansion.

In this study, a zero-cement brick is manufactured by replacing cement with recycled aggregates and blast furnace slag powder. Experimental tests were conducted with standard sized samples of $190{\times}57{\times}90mm$ (KS F 4004), and this manufacturing technique was simulated in practice. Results showed that the zero-cement brick with 0.35 W/B had the highest compressive strength, but the lowest absorption ratio. This absorption ratio of zero-cement brick with 0.35 W/B was lower than the required level determined by KS F 4004. Hence, to increase the absorption ratio, crushed fine aggregate (CA) and emulsified waste vegetable oil (EWO) were used in combination in the zero-cement brick. It was found that the zero-cement brick with CA of 20% and EWO of 1% had the optimum combination, in terms of having the optimum strength development (12 MPa) and the optimum absorption ratio (8.4%) that satisfies the level required by KS. In addition, it is demonstrated that for the manufacturing of zero-cement brick of 1000, this technique reduces the manufacturing cost by 5% compared with conventional cement brick.
