본 연구는 아메리카동애등에분변토(soldier fly casts; SFC)의 단점을 개량하기 위해 코코피트(cocopeat; Coco)와 혼합된 토양개량제의 골프장 토양개량제로서의 사용가능성을 평가하기 위해 모래와 혼합비율 별 물리화학성을 조사하였다. 토양개량제는 SFC, Coco, 25% SFC+75% Coco(Mix1), 50% SFC+50% Coco (Mix2) 및 75% SFC+25% Coco (Mix3)이었고, 각각 3%, 5%, 7% 및 10% 씩 혼합되어 모래상토를 조성하였다. SFC, Mix1, Mix2 및 Mix3는 토양 pH와 EC에서 고도의 상관성(P<0.01)을 나타내어 토양개량제의 혼합에 의해 모래상토의 토양화학성에 영향을 주었다. SFC, Coco, Mix1, Mix2 및 Mix3은 모세관공극, 비모세관공극 및 공극이 USGA기준에 적합하였고, 혼합비율이 증가할수록 모세관공극과 총공극이 증가하였으며(P<0.05), Mix1과 Mix3의 비모세관공극은 모세관공극과 수리전도도에서 부의 상관성을 보였다(P<0.01). Mix1, Mix2 및 Mix3에서 SFC는 상토의 모세관공극의 변화에 영향을 주었고, Coco는 모세관공극과 총공극의 변화에 영향을 주었다. 이들 결과를 종합할 때, SFC와 Coco가 혼합된 토양개량제(Mix1~3)는 SFC보다 모래상토의 모세관 공극과 수리전도도를 개선하여 SFC의 단점을 보완한 것으로 평가되었다.

Super absorbent polymers (SAPs) are hydrophilic molecules that can absorb large amounts of water. This study was conducted to investigate the enhancement of the physicochemical properties of sand soil blended with three SAPs imbibed with 100, 150, and 200-fold water. Three treatments were applied, namely, 100SAP, 150SAP, and 200SAP. The three SAPs were blended at concentrations of 0% (control), 3%, 5%, 7%, and 10% with sand. The pH, electrical conductivity, and cation exchangeable capacity (CEC) of soil blended with the three SAPs were pH 6.35-6.46, 0.09-0.65 dS/m, and 1.42-1.92 cmol_c/kg, respectively, and their capillary porosity, total porosity, and saturated hydraulic conductivity were 21.0-29.3%, 39.2-48.7%, and 272-470 mm/hr. CEC, capillary porosity, total porosity, and saturated hydraulic conductivity of soil were positively correlated with the ratio of the SAPs (p<0.01). These results indicate that blending sand soil with SAPs increased CEC, capillary porosity, and saturated hydraulic conductivity, thus improving the nutrient-retention capacity, water-retention capacity, and permeability of the soil.

The Loop Heat Pipe(LHP) system uses capillary forces so as to pump the working fluid from heat acquisition to heat rejecting systems. The performance of the LHP systems depends mainly upon the operating performance of the wick structure. The capillary pressure increases with decreasing the pore size of the wick structure. By the way, the wick structure's permeability decreases with decreasing the pore size and the porosity. To obtain an ideal wick, the wick structure should possess several characteristics such as the small pore size, high porosity and chemical compatibility with working fluid. Sintered metal wicks have been mainly used as the capillary wick structure mounted in LHP because of the fact that the sintered metal wick has some advantages like convenient selection of wick material, smaller pore size and so on as well as high reliability. In this study, sintered metal wicks were developed to meet required several parameters to design the high performance LHP systems for obtaining even more effective cooling technologies.

The purposes of this study are to develop three-layered Green-Ampt infiltration model considering temporal variation of physical properties of soil and to evaluate the model with field experiment on bare-tilled and soybean-growing soil plots under natural rainfalls. Infiltration tests were conducted on a sandy loam soil. The model has three-layered soil profile including a surface crust, a tilled layer, a subsoil and considers temporal variation of porosity, hydraulic conductivity, capillary pressure head on a tilled layer by natural rainfalls and canopy density variation of crop. Field measurement of porosity, average hydraulic conductivity and average capillary presure head on a tilled layer were conducted by soil sampler and air-entry permeameter at regular intervals-after tillage. It was found that temporal variation of porosity and average hydraulic conductivity might be expressed as a function of cumulative rainfall energy and average capillary pressure head might be expressed as a function of porosity of a tilled soil. The model was calibrated by an optimization technique, Hooke and Jeeves method using hourly surface runoff data. With the calibrated parameters, the model was verified satisfactorily.

본 연구는 아메리카동애등애 사육과정에서 발생한 분변토(SFC)가 골프장의 토양개량제로서 사용가능성을 평가하기 위해 모래와 혼합비율별 물리화학성을 조사하고자 한다. 토양개량제의 혼합비율에 따라 상토의 물리화학성을 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. SFC, compost 및 cocopeat는 pH와 EC에서 고도의 정의 상관성 (P<0.01)을 나타내어 토양개량제의 특성에 따라 상토의 토양화학성에 영향을 주었다. SFC와 compost의 혼합에 따른 토양물리성 변화에서 가장 중요한 요인은 모세관공극으로 총공극이나 수리전도도의 변화에 영향을 미쳤다. 토양개량제의 혼합비율에 따른 토양개선효과를 비교할 때, SFC는 모세관공극, 총공극 및 수리전도도에서, compost는 모세관공극, 비모세관공극, 총공극 및 수리전도도에서, cocopeat는 모세관공극과 비모세관공극에서 고도의 상판성을 나타내었다(P<0.05). 이들 결과를 통해 토양개량제의 종류와 특성 및 혼합비율이 USGA 상토의 근권층 개량과 토양 이화학성에 영향을 미치고 있음을 알 수 있으며, 본 실험조건에서는 SFC는 상토의 공극과 수리전도도의 개선효과를 보였다.

This study refers to temporal variation of physical properties of tilled soil under natural rainfalls. Field measurements of porosity, average hydraulic conductivity and average capillary pressure head on a tilled soil were conducted by soil sampler and air-entry permeameter respectively at regular intervals after tillage. Temporal variation of these physical properties were analysed by cumulative rainfall energy since tillage. Field experiment was conducted on a sandy loam soil at Suwon durging April~July in 1989. The followings are a summary of this study results ; 1. Average porosity just after tillage was 0.548cm$^3$/cm$^3$. As cumulative rainfall energy were increased in 0.1070, 0.1755, 0.3849 J/cm$^2$, average porosity were decreased in 0.506, 0.4]95, 0.468m$^3$/cm$^3$ respectively. 2. Average hydraulic conductivity just after tillage was 45.42cm/hr. As cumulative rainfall energy were increased in 0.1755, 0.2466, 0.2978, 0.3849J/cm$^2$ average hydraulic conductivity were decreased in 15.34, 13.47, 9.58, 8.65cm/hr respectively. 3. As average porosity were decreased in 0.548, 0.506, 0.495, 0.468cm$^3$/cm$^3$ average capillary pressure head were increased in 6.1, 6.7, 6.9, 7.4cm respectively. 4. It was found that temporal variation of porosity, average hydraulic conductivity on a tilled soil might be expressed as a function of cumulative rainfall energy and average capillary pressure head might be expressed as a function of porosity. 5. The results of this study may be helpful to predict infiltration into a tilled soil more accurately by considering Temporal variation of physical properties of soil.

We present a method of fabricating poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) porous microfibers using a pore template. PLGA microfibers were synthesized using a glass capillary tube in a poly-(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) microfluidic chip. Gelatin solution was used as a porous template to prepare pores in microfibers. Two phases of PLGA solutions in different solvents-DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) and DCM (dichloromethane)-were used to control the porosity and strength of the porous microfibers. The porosity of the PLGA microfibers differed depending on the ratio of flow rates in the two phases. The porous structure was formed in a spiral shape on the microfiber. The porous structure of the microfiber is expected to improve transfer of oxygen and nutrients, which is important for cell viability in tissue engineering.

Experimental studies of the cylindrical sintered-copper wick heat pipes were carried out to investigate the capillary heat transfer characteristics. Six models of the sintered-copper wick heat pipes were manufactured and tested to evaluate the heat transport limitations and the thermal characteristics. Also the performance of the heat pipes was analyzed theoretically and compared with the test results. The heat pipe models are divided into two sintered-wick groups and the nominal particle sizes are $180{\mu}m$(wick #1) and $200{\mu}m$(wick #2) respectively The experimental results showed that, the porosity of wick #1 was higher than that of wick #2, and also the wick #1 was generally superior than the wick #2 for the heat transport capability. The maximum heat transport rates were increased as the wick thicknesses and the vapor temperatures were increased.
