Typical high-performance concrete (HPC) mixtures are characterized by low water-cementitious material ratios, high cement contents, and the incorporation of admixtures. In spite of its superior properties in the hardened state, HPC suffers from many practical difficulties such as its sensitivity to early-age cracking (which is associated with self-desiccation and autogenous shrinkage). In this context, conventional curing procedures are not sufficiently effective to address these limitations. In order to overcome this issue, two strategies,which are based on the use of internal reservoirs of water, have been recently developed.One of these strategies is based on the use of lightweight aggregates (LWA), while the other is based on the use of superabsorbent polymers (SAP). This paper studies and compares the efficiency of the LWA and SAP approaches.Moreover, some of the theoretical aspects that should be taken into account to optimize their application for internal curing of HPC are also discussed. Two fine LWA's and one SAP are studied in terms of autogenous deformation and compressive strength. Increasing the amounts of LWAor SAP can lead to a reduction of the autogenous deformation and compressive strength (especially when adding large amounts). By selecting appropriate materials and controlling their amount, size, and porosity, highly efficient internal water curing can be ensured.

Using the design of experiment (DOE), factors affecting the particle size of hydrated liquid crystalline vesicles containing a high content of ceramide were analyzed and the mixture composition was optimized. Manufacturing temperature, amount of ethanol, and ultrasonic time were selected as the main variables affecting the droplet size of the vesicles, and the effect of these variables on the droplet size was examined through the signal to noise (S/N) ratios of Taguchi method and ANOVA analysis. In addition, mixture composition experiments of three lipid components constituting the vesicle membrane, hydrogenated phosphatidyl choline (HPC), cholesterol (Chol), and ceramide (Cer), were performed according to the simplex central design matrix of the mixture. Regression analysis was conducted with the experimental data to obtain a model equation, and the optimal mixing composition of the three lipid components to minimize the vesicle droplet size was determined as HPC (0.6), Chol (0.1), and Cer (0.3).

In this paper, the property of influent water and variations of removal efficiencies in each unit processes were studied based on the experiment data from the advanced water treatment plant in a city of Korea. The microbial species in the biological activated carbon(BAC) after backwashing of activated carbon filtration tank(ACFT) were also identified. The property and the removal efficiencies were evaluated by considering 8-9 items. The variations of 4 items were investigated from the influent and effluent of ACFT. SEM recording were conducted on BAC samples before and after backwashing. And the existence of attached microorganisms were identified through HPC(Heterotrophic Plate Counter) investigation. For the property of influent water, the concentrations of most items were maintained in the constant ranges, some items had seasonal properties. For the removal efficiencies, there were some items showing similar monthly-pattern and increasing with time, other items decreasing at the ozone contactor. Through these investigations, it was possible to distinguish the target items, which were removed by the advanced processes. The existence of microorganisms in ACFT could be predicted based on the variation curve of NH$_3$-N, and this fact were proved by SEM and HPC.

In the design of reinforced concrete structural walls, in order to ensure adequate inelastic displacement behaviour and to sustain deformation demands imposed by strong ground motions, special reinforcement is considered while designing. However, these would lead to severe reinforcement congestion and difficulties during construction. Addition of randomly distributed discrete fibres in concrete improves the flexural behaviour of structural elements because of its enhanced tensile properties and this leads to reduction in congestion. This paper deals with effect of addition of steel fibres on the behavior of high performance fibre reinforced cement concrete (HPFRCC) slender structural walls with the different volume fractions of steel fibres. The specimens were subjected to quasi static lateral reverse cyclic loading until failure. The high performance concrete (HPC) used was obtained based on the guidelines given in ACI 211.1 which was further modified by prof.Aitcin (1998). The volume fraction of the fibres used in this study varied from 0 to 1% with an increment of 0.5%. The results were analysed critically and appraised. The study indicates that the addition of steel fibres in the HPC structural walls enhances the first crack load, strength, initial stiffness and energy dissipation capacity.

오늘날의 시스템은 프로세서 성능의 증가와 더불어 단일코어에서 멀티코어 환경으로 변화되었다. 이에 따라 자원 경쟁을 최소화하여 시스템의 성능을 향상시키기 위한 멀티코어 스케줄링 기법이 연구되고 있다. 기존의 기법에서는 메모리 지향적인 태스크들을 중점적으로 다루고 있으나, 실제 컴퓨팅환경에서는 다양한 워크로드가 존재한다. 따라서 각 태스크들의 특성을 반영한 스케줄링 기법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 HPC 관련 툴을 이용한 실험을 통해 프로세서, 메모리, I/O지향적인 태스크들의 특성을 파악하였다. 메모리 지향적인 태스크는 매우 높은 캐시 미스율을 가지고 있으며, I/O 지향적인 태스크는 시스템 콜을 매우 빈번히 호출 한다는 것을 실험을 통해 알 수 있었다. 이러한 태스크들의 특성을 스케줄러 설계에 적절히 반영한다면 보다 효율적인 스케줄링이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

Monodispersed alumina-zirconia fine powders were prepared by controlled hydrolysis of alkoxides. These powders and the sintered bodies were characterized. Aluminium alkoxide and zirconium alkoxide were dissolved into complex solvent with butanol and n-propanol, and by acetonitrile added hydrolytic solution, hydrolysis rate was controlled. The oil, as a dispersant, was added in hydrolytic solution, and then prepared powders were nano-sized and well-monodispersed. In the case of hydroxypropyl celluose (HPC) as a dispersant, it was added in complex solution with butanol and iso-propanol, sub-micrometer sized and well-monodispersed powders could be prepared. The value of relative density (R.D.) and tetragonal phase fraction of zirconia in the sintered body made by nano-meter sized powders were respectively higher than those in the case of sub-micrometer sized one.

Monodispersed alumina and Mg-doped alumina fine particles were prepared by controlled hydrolysis of alkoxides. Aluminium alkoxide and magnesium alkoxide were dissolved into complex solvent which was composed of hydrophobic n-octanol and hydrophilic acetonitrile. Hydroxypropyl cellulose(HPC) was used as a dispersant for the alumina particles. The size of these prepared powders was approximately 0.3 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. In the case of sintering above 100$0^{\circ}C$, most of these prepared powders were transformed to $\alpha$-alumina. The relative density of the sintered body of these prepared powders at 1$600^{\circ}C$ was 98%. The sintered body of the Mg-doped alumina powder had more uniform grain size than that of the undoped alumina podwer.

Spherical alumina powders were prepared by the controlled hydrolysis of aluminum iso-propoxide in a solution consisting of n-octyl alcohol and acetonitrile. As aluminum alkoxide's concentration increased, the particle size was increased and size distribution was more broad. As-prepared particle morphology was not spherical when acetonitrile volume fraction was increased over than 60%. As-prepared amorphous powders crystallized to ${\gamma}$-alumina at $1000^{\circ}C$ and converted to ${\alpha}$-alumina at $1150^{\circ}C$. The particle morphology was retain after crystallization ${\alpha}$-alumina. When aluminum iso-propoxide was used as aluminum source, the optimum preparation condition of spherical alumina was 0.1M AIP, 0.2M H2O, $0.1g/{\ell}$ HPC with a volume fraction (1/1) of the n-octyl alcohol/acetonitrile, 10min of reaction time and 30min of aging time.
