Several samplers using gravimetric methods such as high-volume air sampler, MiniVol portable sampler, personal environmental monitor(PEM) and cyclone were applied to determine the concentrations of fine particles in atmospheric condition. Comparative evaluation between high-volume air sampler and Minivol portable sampler for $PM_{10}$, and between Minivol portable sampler and PEM was undertaken from June, 2003 to January 2004. Simultaneously, meteorological conditions such as wind speed, wind direction, relative humidity and temperature was measured to check the factors affecting the concentrations of fine particles. In addition, particle concen­trations by cyclone with an aerodynamic diameter of $4{\mu}m$ were measured. Correlation coefficient between high­volume air sampler and portable air sampler for $PM_{10}$ was 0.79 (p<0.001). However, the mean concentration for $PM_{10}$ by high-volume air sampler was significantly higher than that by Minivol portable sampler (p=0.018). Correlation coefficient between Minivol portable sampler and PEM for $PM_{2.5}$ as 0.74 (p<0.001), and the measured mean concentrations for $PM_{2.5}$ did not show significant difference. Difference of the measured con­centrations of fine particle might be explained by wind speed and humidity among meteorological conditions. Particle concentration differences by measurement samplers were proportional to the wind speed, but inversely proportional to the relative humidity, though it was not a significant correlation.

This study was evaluated that fundamental quality properties in the mortar level, as part of a basic study for development of fiber reinforced concrete using basalt fiber. Mortar mixtures used in the experiments used the mortar using cement only and high volume fly ash mortar using fly ash of 50%, was evaluated by comparison. As a experiments results, high volume fly ash mortar using 50% fly ash was effective for improving fiber dispersibility than mortar using cement only, accordingly, it showed that fiber aggregation phenomenon has been greatly reduced. In addition, if the fly ash used much more than 50%, the compressive strength has been shown to decrease of about 30%, fiber length and mixing ratio of basalt fiber was found to have a greater effect on flow properties than mechanical properties.

Recently, the I/O performance of a single node is rapidly improving due to the advent of high-performance SSD. As a result, the next-generation storage platform based on SSD has received a great deal of attention and such storage platforms are increasingly adopted to commodity servers or data centers that look for the high-bandwidth computation and I/O. However, building all SSD-based storage platform may not be cost-effective because the price per storage capacity is very high as compared to that of HDD. In this paper. we propose a hybrid file management solution, called HyPLVM(Hybrid Priority Logical Volume Manager), which combines the strength of SSD with the desirable aspects of low-price, high-storage capacity HDD. HyPLVM prioritizes the files and directories to be accessed by users, in order to determine the target storage device (SSD/HDD) in which files are allocated, while mitigating the cost of building storage platforms.

This paper is to investigate an effect of waste cooking oil(WCO) on the engineering properties and durability of high volume admixture concrete. Fly ash with 30% and blast furnace slag with 60% were incorporated in OPC to fabricate high volume admixture concrete with 0.5 of W/B. Emulsified refining cooking oil(ERCO) was made by mixing WCO and emulsifying agent to improve fluidity. ERCO was replaced by cement from 0.25 to 1.0%. As results, the increase of ERCO resulted in decrease of slump and air contents. For compressive strength, the use of ERCO led to decrease the compressive strength at 28 days, while it had similar strength or much higher strength than plain concrete at 180 days. Resistance to carbonation and chloride penetration was improved with the increase of ERCO contents due to decreased pore distribution by saponification between ERCO and concrete, while freeze-thaw resistance was degraded due to air loss.

In this study, strength development properties of high volume fly ash concrete was evaluated through compressive strength of concrete with reduction of unit water content. And concrete specimens were prepared according to target strength 3 level and variation of unit water content. As a result, the improved fluidity were obtained as a result of the ball bearing action of the spherical, the electrostatic repulsion and the particle size distribution of fly ash particles in case of using more than 50% fly ash. Through this, the mixture of fly ash has been shown to reduce the amount of water required in concrete. Also, the early strength of high volume fly ash concrete with reduction of unit water content was improved more about 66% than general concrete mixture.

The relationship between exercise intensity, oxidative stress and antioxidant status has been studied in sixteen trained male athletes aged 20-25years. Subjects performed 30-40minutes of treadmill running at 65% of VO2 max(high intensity exercise). Blood samples were taken before and immediately after two exercise bouts for measurement of blood antioxidants, indices of lipid peroxidation and susceptibility of crythrocyte to peroxidation. Plasma concentrations of cholesterol(7.3%), vitamin C(7.5%) and uric acid(2.1%) were elevated a little after exercise at 65% of VO2 max(13.7%)were significantly high than before exercise(p<0.05). However, these exercise-induced changes could be partly due to significant decreases in plasma volume which occurred after both exercise bouts(p<0.05). Plasma volume decreased 5.85$\pm$2.06% and 11.25$\pm$2.87% with exercise at 65% and 85% of VO2 max, respectively. The erythrocyte susceptibility to peroxidation after exercise at 65% of VO2 max was unchanged compared with the value before exercise, whereas after exercise at 85% of VO2 max, it was significantly higher than after exercise at 65% and 85% of VO2 max as well as before exercise(p<0.05). A significant increase at 85% of VO2 max, it was significantly high than after exercise at 85% of VO2 max (29.10$\pm$4.76ug/g Hb)when compared with the level before exercise (24.61$\pm$3.45ug/g Hb)(p<0.05). The results suggest that exercise-induced changes in plasma levels of lipid peroxide and antioxidant need to be evaluated, taking the shift in plasma volume into consideration. Also, exercise at high intensity corresponding to 85% of VO2 max alters the erythrocyte antioxidant status in relation to exercise-induced of oxidative stress.

To determine the effect of temperature and microstructure on the fatigue crack propagation behavior in Ti-3Al-2.5V alloy, experimental investigations have been carried out with the specimens of different temperatures and different volume fractions of prime $\alpha$-phase. The temperatures employed were room temperature, 20$0^{\circ}C$, 30$0^{\circ}C$ and 40$0^{\circ}C$ under the same frequency of 20Hz. To obtain the different volume fractions of the primary $\alpha$-phase, specimens were solution-treated at $\alpha$+$\beta$ and above the $\beta$ region. From the experimental results, following conclusions were obtained. (1) ΔKth was observed to increase with the less volume fraction of the primary $\alpha$-phase. (2) As the temperature increased. (3) Microstructures having more primary $\alpha$-phase showed higher strength at the high temperatures.

Activated carbon fibers (ACFs) with high surface area and pore volume were modified with metal Ni impregnation and fluorination and investigated hydrogen storage properties by volumetric method. Micropore volume values of ACFs obtained from surface modification with Ni impregnation and fluorination were decreased 9 and 35 %, respectively. Hydrogen storage capacities of fluorinated ACFs were slightly changed, on the other hand, that of Ni impregnated ACF was considerably increased. It means that hydrogen was not only adsorbed on ACF surface, but also on Ni metal surface by means of dissociation. Although the microphone volume of ACF modified with fluorination was decreased, its hydrogen storage were found not to be changed compared with fresh ACF. These results indicated that the surface of ACF after fluorination modification may be strongly attracted hydrogen due to high electronegativity of fluorine. Therefore, it was proven that hydrogen storage capacity was related with micropore volume and surface property of carbon materials as well as specific surface area.

The effect of the addition of Co and N and subzero treatment on tensile strength and damping capacity was investigated in Fe-Cr-Mn alloy. Austenite was transformed into martensite by cold rollins increasing the degree of cold rollins led to an increase in the volume fraction of martensite. The damping capacity linearly increased with increasing volume fraction of ${\varepsilon}$ martensite in cold rolled specimens and subzero treated specimens after cold rolling. The volume fraction of ${\varepsilon}$ martensite, tensile strength and damping capacity was also increased by the addition of Co, while this treatment decreased the elongation. However, the volume fraction of ${\varepsilon}$ martensite, elongation and damping capacity were reduced by the addition of N, although the tensile strength increased. Tensile strength and damping capacity werealso increased by subzero treatment, while elongation decreased.
