This research was conducted to investigate the linear expansion and resistance properties of a composite board (com-ply). This board was made of medium-density fiberboard (MDF) laminated using avocado (Persea americana), mahogany (Swietenia mahogani), and pine (Pinus merkusii) veneers. These three types of veneers were laminated on both surfaces of the MDF using adhesives, namely, epoxy and isocyanate. Glue (250 g·m^-2) was spread on the surface, followed by cold press for 3 h with an applied pressure of 15 kg·cm^-2. The research result revealed that com-ply exhibited an increased dimensional stability compared with MDF, indicated by reduction in water absorption, thickness swelling, and linear expansion. The com-ply made of the pine veneer and isocyanate adhesive exhibited high density, water absorption, thickness swelling, and screw withdrawal load. The com-ply that exhibited the strongest resistance to drywood termite attacks was the one made of the mahogany veneer and isocyanate adhesive. Moreover, the com-ply that exhibited the biggest weight loss (3.6 %) was made of the pine veneer and epoxy adhesive. The results of this research may facilitate in manufacturing com-ply using the selected veneer and adhesive without the application of hot press.

Background: This study is aimed to verify individual and regional-level factors affecting the depression of Koreans and to develop social programs for improving the depressive status. Methods: This study used individual-level variables from the Korean Community Health Survey (2018) and used the e-regional index of the Korean Statistical Information Service as the regional-level variable. A multi-level logistic regression was executed to identify individual and regional-level variables that were expected to affect the extent of depressive symptoms and to draw the receiver operating characteristic curve to compare the volume of impact between variables from both levels. Results: The results of the multi-level logistic regression analysis in regards to individual-level factors showed that older age, female gender, a lower income level, a lower education level, not having a spouse, the practice of walking, the consumption of breakfast higher levels of stress, and having high blood pressure or diabetes were associated with a greater increase in depressive symptoms. In terms of regional factors, areas with fewer cultural facilities and fewer car registration had higher levels of depressive symptoms. The comparison of area under the curve showed that individual factors had a greater influence than regional factors. Conclusion: This study showed that while both, individual and regional-level factors affect depression, the influence of the latter was relatively weaker as compared to the first. In this sense, it is necessary to develop programs focused on the individual, such as social prescribing at the local or community-level, rather than the city and nation-level approach that are currently prevalent.

영상을 적극적으로 사용하는 종교 시설과 같은 장소에서는 스크린 높이에 따라 메인 스피커의 높이가 결정된다. 이로 인해 '음상불일치'와 '저음부스팅'과 같은 음향 장애 요인이 발생하여 시각적으로 좋은 자리인 앞 좌석이 음향적으로는 좋지 않은 장소가 되고 만다. 이러한 음향적 장애를 최소화하기 위해서는 프론트필(Front-fill) 스피커를 적극적으로 도입할 필요가 있으며, 스크린 때문에 높아진 메인 스피커와의 거리 및 음압 차이에 따라 적합한 용량을 결정해야 한다. 프론트필 스피커를 적극적으로 사용하여 음상일치(音像一致)를 구현함으로써 음의 집중도를 높이고, 고음(高音) 유입이 상대적으로 부족한 앞좌석에 중고음을 보강하여 주파수 응답을 고르게 구현할 수 있다. 멀티미디어 환경에서 주요 좌석인 앞쪽 열에 메인 스피커의 부족한 부분을 보완하여 더 쾌적한 음향 환경을 구현하기 위해 프론트필 스피커를 적극적으로 도입할 필요가 있으며, 이에 대한 구체적인 기준안 제시가 필요하다.

지하구조물을 축조하는 공법으로 기존에 가장 많이 사용해 온 것이 개착식 공법이나, 지상교통 흐름을 방해하고 공사소음 및 주변 지반의 침하로 인한 민원 발생 등 많은 문제점을 야기해 왔다. 많은 경우에 있어 지중에 매설된 상수도관 하수도관 도시가스관 고압 전력구 통신 케이블 등 지중 매설물의 위치가 정확하게 파악되지 않아서 안전한 시공에 어려움이 크고, 개착공사 시 지하지장물의 이설로 인한 공지지연 및 추가공사비가 소요될 것으로 판단되다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 기존 지하구조물 축조공법을 개선하여 슬래브강관과 PC벽체 트렌치를 이용한 터널축조공법 (T.R.c.M.)을 서울지하철 현장에 적용한 시공사례를 소개하고자 한다. 연구결과, T.R.c.M.공법은 진동과 소음을 최소화하여 주변환경과 교통의 흐름에 전혀 지장을 주지 않고 안정적으로 터널을 축조할 수 있는 공법임을 알 수 있었다.

$17{\alpha}$-Ethynylestradiol (EE2) has gotten growing concerns due to its widely detected in the environment and high estrogenic potency. However, the knowledge on the photochemical behaviors of EE2 in natural waters is still limited. Herein, the photodegradation and estrogenic potency variation of EE2 induced by nitrate were studied using a sunlight simulator consisted by a 300 W medium pressure mercury lamp and 290 nm cut-off filters. It was found that EE2 could be photodegraded at a rate of $0.0193h^{-1}$ in pure aqueous solutions, and the photodegradation of EE2 could be significantly promoted by nitrate. The photodegradation removal rate of EE2 was increased from 9% in Milli-Q water to 85% in 2.0 mM nitrate solutions. Reactive species scavenging experiments demonstrated that the photogenerated $HO{\bullet}$ contributed about 55% to EE2 degradation. Fe(III), Cl- and dissolved humic acid (DHA) could inhibit the photodegradation of EE2 by competing the incident light and photogenerated $HO{\bullet}$, while $HCO_3{^-}$ had no influence on EE2 photodegradation. EE2 was determined to be phototransformed into organic chemicals without estrogenic potency by GC-MS and MCF-7 cell proliferation toxicity tests. These findings could extend our knowledge on the photochemical behaviors of steroid estrogens and provide information for ecological risk assessment.

해양환경과 같이 특수한 환경에 위치한 구조물은 해수 및 염해 등에 의해 물리적 화학적 침식을받아 철근부식과 그 팽창압으로 인해 콘크리트 구조물의 성능저하가 가속화되고 있으며, 이러한 성능저하로 인해 콘크리트 구조물은 균열 박리되어 내구성이 현저히 저하된다. 이러한 염해대책으로는 염해침투를 억제하는 혼합시멘트를 사용하거나, 수화과정에서 염화물을 화학적으로 고정화 시키는 등의연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 고강도 혼합재가 첨가된 해양콘크리트의 특성을 검토하기 위하여 저발열 혼합시멘트에 고강도 혼합재(오메가2000)를 0, 5, 10, 15% 치환 첨가하여 해양콘크리트를 제조하였다. 제조한 해양콘크리트의 재령별 압축강도는 증가하는 경향을 나타내었으며, 재령에 따른 염소이온 침투저항성은 향상되는 것으로 나타났다.

In the perspective of saving energy in buildings, the high performance of insulation and air tightness for improving the heating and the cooling efficiency, has brought economically positive effects. However, these building energy saving technologies cause the lack of ventilation, which is the direct cause of increasing the indoor contaminants, and is also very harmful to the residents, because they spend over 90% of their time indoors. Therefore, the ventilation is important to keep the indoor environment clean and it can also save the energy consumption. In this study, a HEPA type nano ceramic filter is designed as a passive ventilation system to collect airborne particles and to supply fresh outdoor air. The double layer filter, which has $30{\mu}m$ in diameter at the conditions of 10wt% of concentration and 3kV/cm of the electric intensity, is produced by electrospinning. The filtration coating technology is confirmed in the solution with $SiO_2$ nano particles using polymer nano fibers. Also double layer filters are coated with $SiO_2$ nano particles and finally the porous construction materials are made by sintering in the electric furnace at $200{\sim}1400^{\circ}C$. The efficiency is measured 96.67% at the particle size of $0.31{\mu}m$, which is slightly lower than HEPA filter. However the efficiency is turned out to be sufficient.

Sediments of Little Scioto (LS) River in Ohio was contaminated by poor disposal of creosote from Baker Wood Creosoting Facility. Among the primary compounds of creosote, Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are the most common ingredient PAHs are known for toxic, carcinogenic and mutagenic compounds. There are many difficulties to remove the PAHs in nature environment because their characteristics are having a less water-solubility, volatile and low mobility properties as increasing the molecular weight. The generation of hydroxyl radicals (${\cdot}OH$) and hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) forms as well as high temperature (5000 K) and pressure (1000 atm) by a physico-chemical effects of ultrasound during a cavitation collapse can promote the degradation and desorption of PAHs in sediment And it can also produces shock wave and microjets which are able to change the size and surface of particle in solid-liquid system as one of physical effects. Therefore, we explored to understand the role of particle size, the effect of elimination for PAHs concentration by ultrasound and optimize the conditions for ultrasonic treatment. The condition of various size of particles (> $150{\mu}m$, < $150{\mu}m$) and solid-liquid ratio (12.5g/L, 25g/L) for the treatment was considered and ultrasonic power (430 W/L) with liquid - hexane extraction and microwave extraction method were applied after ultrasound treatment.

Nanotechnology, especially vertically grown silicon nanowires, has gotten great attentions in biology due to characteristics of one dimensional nanostructure; controllable synthetic structure such as lengths, diameters, densities. Silicon nanowires are promising materials as nanoelectrodes due to their highly complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) - and bio-compatibility. Silicon nanowires are so intoxicated that are effective for bio molecular delivery and electrical stimulation. Vertical nanowires with integrated Au tips were fabricated for electrical intracellular interfacing with PC-12 cells. We have made synthesized two types of nanowire devices; one is multi-nanowires electrode for bio molecular sensing and electrical stimulation, and the other is single-nanowires electrode respectively. Here, we demonstrate that differentiation of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) treated PC-12 cells can be promoted depending on different magnitudes of electrical stimulation and density of Si NWs. It was fabricated by both bottom-up and top-down approaches using low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) with high vacuuming environment to electrically stimulate PC-12 cells. The effects of electrical stimulation with NGF on the morphological differentiation are observed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and it induces neural outgrowth. Moreover, the cell cytosol can be dyed selectively depending on the degree of differentiation along with fluorescence microscopy measurement. Vertically grown silicon nanowires have further expected advantages in case of single nanowire fabrication, and will be able to expand its characteristics to diverse applications.
