Gas hydrates are ice-like crystalline compounds that form under low temperature and elevated pressure conditions. Although hydrate formation can pose serious flow-assurance problems in the gas pipelines or facilities, gas hydrates present a novel means for natural gas storage and transportation with potential applications in a wide variety of areas. An important property of hydrates that makes them attractive for use in gas storage and transportation is their very high gas-to-solid ratio. In addition to the high gas content, gas hydrates are remarkably stable. The main barrier to development of gas hydrate technology is the lack of an effective method to mass produce gas hydrate in solid form. The first objective of this study is investigating the characteristics of gas hydrate formation related to several factors such as pressure, temperature, water-to-storage volume ratio, concentration of SDS, heat transfer and whether stirred or not respectively. And the second objective is clarifying the relation between the formation efficiency and each factor in order to find the proper way or direction to improve the formation performance.

The cryosuction (negative pore pressure) in freezing soils causes groundwater migration from the frozen fringe to freezing front for ice lens formation. Frost heave and heaving pressure by ice lens cause damage to ground infrastructure. In order to prevent damage by the frost heave, various frost susceptibility criteria have been proposed. The SP (Segregation Potential) is the most widely used classification criterion for frost susceptibility in cold regions. The expansion of the ice lens by the migration of the groundwater is a key role in frost heave mechanism, and thus it is necessary to evaluate the hydraulic conductivity. In this paper, soil mixtures of coarse-fines (sand-silt) were prepared in various weight fractions and used for frost heave and column permeability test. For each case, the SP and the hydraulic conductivity were derived and correlations were analyzed. As a results, the transition threshold of the SP and the hydraulic conductivity were shown at 20% and 50% of the silt weight fraction, respectively. Although there are difference between these transition thresholds, these two coefficients show a specific correlation. In the future, additional study should be conducted for detailed analysis of the threshold transition values between SP and hydraulic conductivity.

Illusory Correlation Effect(ICE) is a cognitive error that arises from overestimating particular stimulus of an individual or a group. This may cause formation of stereotypes of the individual or the group and may also lead to generating various biased judgments. this study investigated the Illusory Correlation Effect of clothing style and considered the effect of Preview information. The results Provided evidence for the existence of an illusory correlation between a wearer and clothing style. Also, an illusory correlation was influenced information of stimuli attributes. This implies subjects perceived stimuli more distinctively when previous information was provided.

Concrete cooled to very low temperature cyclically is deteriorated by ice formation in micro-pores. Although the factors to the deterioration are various, storage at very low temperature is mentioned as one of the factors. In practice, storage of cryogenic structure is kept at very low temperatures, and as such, it is important to take into consideration the influence of storage at such low temperature on the deterioration of concrete. Thus, in this study, the influence of storage on the deterioration of concrete at minimum temperatures taking into consideration the different W/C and air content.

Methane hydrate is crystalline ice-like compounds which formed methane gas enters within water molecules composed cavity at specially temperature and pressure condition, and water molecule and each other from physically-bond. $1m^3$ hydrate of pure methane can be decomposed to the maximum of $172m^3$ at standard condition. If these characteristics of hydrate are reversely utilized, natural gas is fixed into water in the form of hydrate solid. Therefore the hydrate is considered to be a great way to transport and store natural gas in large quantity. Especially the transportation cost is known to be 18~24% less than the liquefied transportation. However, when methane hydrate is formed artificially, the amount of consumed gas is relatively low due to a slow reaction rate between water and methane gas. In this study, for the better hydrate reaction rate, there is make nano fluid using ultrasonic dispersion of carbon nano tube. and then, Experiment with hydrate formation by nano fluid and methane gas reaction. The results show that when the carbon nano tubes of 0.004 wt% was added to pure water, the amount of consumed gas was about 300% higher than that in pure water and the hydrate formation time decreased.

Denaturation of actomyosin from the obliquely striated mantle muscle of squids (Todarodes pacificus) was studied by measuring the changes in $Ca^{2+}$-ATPase activity, relative viscosity, and solubility during frozen storage at three different temperature zones of maximum ice crystal formation $(-3^{\circ}C,\;-\;-5^{\circ}C)$, the eutectic point $(-11^{\circ}C)$, and $-20^{\circ}C$. The logarithms of $Ca^{2+}$-ATPase activity, relative viscosity and solubility of the actomyosin solutions (0.6 M KCl) and suspensions (0.05 M KCl) tended to decrease during frozen storage. The denaturation of squid actomyosin at the zone of maximum ice crystal formation significantly differed by only two degree of temperature difference between $-3^{\circ}C$ and $-5^{\circ}C$, and it (0.05 M KCl) at $-3^{\circ}C$ was less than those of other temperature. The denaturation at $-11^{\circ}C$ was more rapid than at $-5^{\circ}C$. The logarithms of $Ca^{2+}$ -ATPase activity, relative viscosity, and solubility were changed slower in the suspensions (0.05 M KCl) than the solutions (0.6 M KCl) at all experimental temperatures.

We study $CO_2/H_2O$ ice abundance ratios in nearby galaxies using AKARI near-infrared slit spectroscopy. Past studies of the ices intensively examined $CO_2/H_2O$ ratios mainly in our Galaxy, and found that there were considerable variations in the $CO_2/H_2O$ ratios from object to object. The cause of the variations is, however, still under debate. As a result of the analysis of our sample that includes 1031 regions in 158 galaxies, the $CO_2/H_2O$ ratios are in a range of 0.05-0.30. In the dataset, we find that the $CO_2/H_2O$ ratios positively correlate with the $Br{\alpha}/PAH$ $3.3{\mu}m$ ratios which reflect the massive star formation activity. Furthermore, we find that the $CO_2/H_2O$ ratios positively correlate with the specific star formation rates of the galaxies where the ices are detected, that reflect the evolutionary stage of a galaxy. These results suggest that the $CO_2/H_2O$ ratios are enhanced in active star-forming regions and young galaxies.
