Boron nitride (BN) and carbon nitride (CN) films, which have relatively low work functions and commonly exhibit negative electron affinity behaviors, were coated on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by magnetron sputtering. The CNTs were directly grown on metal-tip (tungsten, approximately 500nm in diameter at the summit part) substrates by inductively coupled plasma-chemical vapor deposition (ICP-CVD). The variations in the morphology and microstructure of CNTs due to coating of the BN and CN films were analyzed by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The energy dispersive x-ray (EDX) spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy were used to identify the existence of the coated layers (CN and BN) on CNTs. The electron-emission properties of the BN-coated and CN-coated CNT-emitters were characterized using a high-vacuum field emission measurement system, in terms of their maximum emission currents ($I_{max}$) at 1kV and turn-on voltage ($V_{on}$) for approaching $1{\mu}A$. The results showed that the $I_{max}$ current was significantly increased and the $V_{on}$ voltage were remarkably reduced by the coating of CN or BN films. The measured values of $I_{max}-V_{on}$ were as follows; $176{\mu}A$-500V for the 5nm CN-coated emitter and $289{\mu}A$-540V for the 2nm BN-coated emitter, respectively, while the $I_{max}-V_{on}$ of the as-grown (i.e., uncoated) emitter was $134{\mu}A$-620V. In addition, the CNT emitters coated with thin CN or BN films also showed much better long-term (up to 25h) stability behaviors in electron emission, as compared with the conventional CNT emitter.

Corrosion of steel bars embedded in concrete admixed with 0%, 2% and 4% calcium nitrite (CN), having compressive strengths of 20 and 46 MPa was investigated. Reinforced concrete specimens were immersed in 3% NaCl solutions for 1, 7 and 15 days where 0.4A external current was applied to accelerate the chemical reactions. Corrosion rate was measured by retrieving electrochemical data via potentiodynamic polarization technique. Pull-out tests of reinforced concrete specimens were then conducted to assess the corroded steel-concrete bond characteristics. Experimental results showed that corrosion rate of steel bars and steel-concrete bond strength were dependent on concrete strength, amount of CN added and accelerated corrosion period. As concrete strength increased from 20 to 46 MPa, corrosion rate of embedded steel decreased. The addition of 2% CN to concrete of 20 MPa was not effective in retarding corrosion of steel at long time of exposure. However, the combination of higher strength concrete and 2% or 4% CN appear to be a desirable approach to reduce the effect of chloride-induced corrosion of steel reinforcement. After 1 day of corrosion acceleration, specimens without CN showed higher bond strength in both concrete mixes than those with CN. After 7 and 15 days of exposure, the higher concentration of CN, the higher bond strength in both concrete mixes achieved, except for the concrete specimen of 20 MPa compressive strength with 2% CN that recorded the highest deterioration in bond strength at 15 days of exposure.

In order to elucidate whether capsaicin applied topically acts as a pain-producing subastance or as a tastant, neuronal activities of the chorda tympani nerve(CN), lingual nerve(LN), solitary tract nucleus(STN), and trigeminal nucleus(TGN) were recorded while thermal and taste stimuli, and capsaicin were being applied topically, and algesics intra-arterially to the tongue of cats anesthetized with ${\alpha}-chloralsoe$. In addition, the STN neurons were examined after wheat germ agglutinin-horseradish peroxidase(WGA-HRP) was applied to the CN. The CN fibers responded to taste and thermal stimuli, algesics, and capsaicin. Responses to capsaicin were significantly correlated with those to taste and thermal stimuli. The LN fibers mainly responded to mechanical and thermal stimuli, algesics, and capsaicin. Responses to capsaicin were significantly correlated with those to algesics. The STN neurons responded to taste and thermal stiumli, algesics, and capsaicin. Responses to capsaicin were significantly correlated with those to taste and thermal stiumli in somewhat different fashion from those of the CN fibers. The TGN neurons mainly responded to mechanical stimuli, algesics, and capsaicin. Correlations between responses to capsaicin and any others were not significant. After WGA-HRP was applied to the CN, the STN neurons which receive input from the CN were identified largely in the medio-ventral portion to the solitary tract. These results suggest that capsaicin produce taste as well as pain sensation. Sensory information evoked by capsaicin can be conveyed to the STN, especially medio-ventral portion, via the CN as gustatory information on the one hand, and to the STN or TGN via the LN as noxious information on the other. In addiation, the noxious information may be conveyed to the STN via the CN.

In the Ti(CN)-Co/Ni cermet, WC is an effective additive for increasing sinterability and mechanical properties such as toughness and hardness. In this work, WC, (WTi)C and (WTi)(CN) were used as the source of WC and their effects were investigated in the respect of microstructural evolution and mechanical properties. Regardless of the kinds of WC sources, the hard phase with dark core and bright rim structure was observed in the Ti(CN)-Co/Ni cermet under the incorporation of relatively small amount of WC. However, hard phases with bright core began to appear and their frequency increased with the increase of all kinds of WC source addition. The ratio of bright core to dark one in the (TiW)(CN)-Co/Ni cermet was greatest under the incorporation of (WTi)C compared at the same equivalent amount of WC. The mechanical properties were improved with the addition of WC irrespective of the kinds of sources, but the addition of (WTi)(CN) was less effective for the increase of fracture toughness.

The objective of this study is to present a methodology for estimating runoff curve number(CN) using SWAT model which is capable of reflecting watershed heterogeneity such as climate condition, land use, soil type. The proposed CN estimation method is based on the asymptotic CN method and particularly, it uses surface flow data simulated by SWAT. This method has advantages to estimate spatial CN values according to subbasin division and to reflect watershed characteristics because the calibration process has been made by matching the measured and simulated streamflows. Furthermore, the method is not sensitive to rainfall-runoff data since CN estimation is on a daily basis. The SWAT based CN estimation method is applied to Chungju dam watershed. The regression equation of the estimated CN that exponentially decays with the increase of rainfall is presented.

The substitution reaction and structrue of products obtained from the reaction of Equatorial-Skew-[Co(TRDTRA)($OH_2$)] (TRDTRA = trimethylenediaminetriacetate) with $CN^-, NO^{-}_{2}$ and $NCS^-$ ions have been investigated by means of electronic absorption spectroscopy and theoretical calculation based on the Yamatera's theory. According to kinetic data, the substitution reaction order for the complexes such as $CN^-, NO^{-}_{2}$ and $NCS^-$ was the first order, respectively, and overall reaction order was second order. It has been determined that the structure of products having $CN^{-} and NO^{-}_{2}$ ions was Polar-Chair type complexes which were accompanying with isomerization and having $NCS^-$ ion was Equatorial-Skew type complex which was not accompanying with isomerization.

강우-유출 모형을 이용하여 직접유출량을 산정할 경우, 유역의 유효우량을 산정하기 위해 NRCS-CN(Natural Resources Conservation Service - curve number) 방법을 주로 사용한다. 그러나 NRCS-CN 방법은 초기손실량을 잠재보유수량의 20%로 가정하고 유효우량을 산정한다. 이는 초기손실량을 과대 추정하여 유효우량의 과소산정을 초래한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 관측된 강우-유출사상을 바탕으로 초기손실량을 추정하는 방법을 보완하였다. 우리나라 홍수기 동안 강우-유출 자료를 확보한 15개의 유역에 대해 658개의 강우-유출사상에 대하여 NRCS-CN 방법을 기반으로, 초기손실량과 유효우량을 산정하고 이를 관측 직접유출량과 비교 분석하였다. 유효우량을 산정하는 방법으로는 NRCS-CN 방법(M1), NRCS-CN 방법에서 초기손실량계수를 감소시킨 방법(M2), 관측 강우-유출 관계를 바탕으로 본 연구에서 제안하는 방법(M3)을 적용하였다. 또한 USDA에서 제시하는 CN값(CNT)과 유역의 경사도를 고려하여 조정한 CN값(CNC)을 각 방법들에 적용하였다. 모형의 성과는 Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE), 그리고 Percent Bias (PBIAS) 등을 이용하여 평가되었다. 그 결과 CNT를 M1, M2, M3에 적용한 경우 각 유역에서 평균적으로 [RMSE(0.24, 18.12, and 16.04), NSE(0.54, 0.73, and 0.79), PBIAS(36.54, 20.25, and 12.00)]로 나타났으며. 이와 비슷하게 CNC를 M1, M2, M3에 적용하였을 경우의 각 유역에서 평균적으로 [RMSE(17.17, 15.88, and 13.82), NSE(0.76, 0.80, and 0.85), PBIAS(3.06, 4.47, and 0.11)]로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 제안된 M3방법을 사용하여 추정한 유효우량이 관측된 직접유출량과 통계학적으로 가장 가까운 값으로 나타났다.

기후변화에 대응하는 도시유출 저감과 열섬효과를 방지하기 위해 투수블럭 시공이 증가 추세 있으나, 투수블럭과 하부 도로포장체에 대한 강우모사 시험시 토양함수율 설정기준을 정립할 필요가 있다. 유역 혹은 시험체의 유출량 예측에는 토지 이용에 따라 미국자연자원보호청(Natural Resources Conservation Service, NRCS)의 SCS 유효우량 산정 방법을 통해 CN을 활용할 수 있으며, 이때 유역 혹은 시험체의 선행강우일수에 따라 유출량 결과가 큰 차이가 발생한다. 연구를 위해 시험실이 위치하고 있는 부산시와 양산시 무강우 일수(10년, 2012~2021)를 홍수기, 비홍수기 각각 분석한 결과에 따라, 투수블록 포장체의 CN 산정을 위해 자연강우 이후 시험시 AMC조건을 따르며, 무강우일수 5일 이내에는 비성수기 12.7~27.94mm, 성수기 35.56~53.34mm의 평균강우 20.32mm, 44.45mm에 해당하는 체적의 실험수를 사전에 살수한 후 강우모의시험을 진행한다. 사전살수를 통해 하부기층 토양을 AMC-II 기준에 맞추고, 강우모의 시험을 통해 CN(II) 산정한다. 동일기준에서 진행된 시험 결과, 일정한 유출을 확인하였으며, 적용에 일관성을 유지할 수 있었다. 따라서 토양종류와 토양함수조건에 의거 투수블록 포장 시험체의 CN을 산정을 통해, 도시홍수 유출모형에 적용할 수 있다. 53.34mm 이상의 자연강우시 모니터링을 통한 CN(III)을 산정하여CN(II)로 환산하여 경제적이고 합리적인 유출량을 산정한다.
