In this study, poly(vinyl-alcohol) and water insoluble ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin polymer (${\beta}$-CDP) cross-linked with citric acid, have been used as macrocyclic carrier in the preparation of polymer inclusion membranes (PIMs) for aniline (as molecule model) extraction from aqueous media. The obtained membranes were firstly characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared and water swelling test. The transport of aniline was studied in a two-compartment transport cell under various experimental conditions, such as carrier content in the membranes, stirring rate and initial aniline concentration. The kinetic study was performed and the kinetic parameters were calculated as rate constant (k), permeability coefficient (P) and flux (J). These first results demonstrated the utility of such polymeric membranes for environmental decontamination of toxic organic molecules like aniline. Predictive modeling of transport flux through these materials was then studied using design of experiments; the design chosen was a two level full factorial design $2^k$. An empirical correlation between aniline transport flux and independent variables (Poly ${\beta}$-CD membrane content, agitation speed and initial aniline concentration) was successfully obtained. Statistical analysis showed that initial aniline concentration of the solution was the most important parameter in the study domain. The model revealed the existence of a strong interaction between the Poly ${\beta}$-CD membrane content and the stirring speed of the source solution. The good agreement between the model and the experimental transport data confirms the model's validity.

높은 투자율과 낮은 손실특성을 지닌(Mn, Zn)ferrite의 전자기적 특성은 소결공정과 소결분위기에 따라 상당히 다양하게 나타난다. 본 연구에서는(Mn, Zn)ferrite를 소결시킬 때의 승온속도와 냉각속도에 따른 초투자율 특성과 미세구조의 관계에 관하여 고찰하였다. 승온속도의 영향을 고찰하기 위하여 spinel ferrites 생성 및 결정입 성장 거동에 가장 중요한 온도인 800~120$0^{\circ}C$의 범위에서 속도를 변화시켰고, 냉각속도 영향을 살펴보기 위하여 1100~80$0^{\circ}C$ 온도범위를 택하였다. 열처리 온도범위 800~120$0^{\circ}C$에서 승온속도가 증가함에따라 초투자율이 7$^{\circ}C$/min까지는 증가했으나 그 이상의 승온속도에서는 오히려 초투자율이 감소하였다. 또한 1100~80$0^{\circ}C$ 온도범위에선 냉각속도가 증가될수록 초투자율이 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 치밀화 및 투자율을 높이기 위하여 첨가된 CaO, SiO2, V2O5의 분포상태를 분석한 결과, 이들 첨가물들은 입자와 입계를 따라 균일하게 분포하는 것으로 나타났다.

The 7-dial inductive voltage divider(IVD) for application at low frequency range which can precisely divide the in put voltage up to resolution of $10^{-7}$ was fabricated by using the toroidal cores made by super-mumetal strips of 0.025 mm thick and special decade switches. The cores have the initial permeability of 200.000 and magnetic flux density of 0.5 T. The inphase and quadrature ratio errors for a fabricated 7-dial IVD are found to be less than $\pm$4${\times}$$10^{-7}$ and $\pm$5${\times}$$10^{-6}$ rad(k=2), respectively. by calibration using the IVD calibration system of KRISS. The fabrication techniques used and uncertainty evaluation are discussed in this paper.

Air void systems in hardened concrete has an important influence on concrete durability such as freeze-thaw resistance, water permeability, surface scaling resistance, and etc. Linear traverse method and point count method described at ASTM have been widely used to estimate the air void system in hardened concrete. These methods, however, are rarely used at present, because they require many efforts, are time consuming works, depend on each person's decision, and are not repeatable. Thus, new image analysis method using microscope and computer processes has been approached for analyzing air void system in hardened concrete. However, it is just in initial step. The purposes of this study were to develope an effective and reliable image analysis technique for estimating air void system in hardened concrete. The developed technique was proved to be accurate, reasonable and repeatable.

In this study, to determine the optimum fermentation process for the feed production of food wastes and estimate the practical value of fermented feed using kudzu creeper and sawdust as bulking agent. This study considered initial C/N ratio control as the fermentation process variables. The result are summarized as follows. Minimum water contents of byproducts in the fermentation feed production showed 39%(kudzu), 37%(sawdust) at the C/N ratio 25 and 45%(kudzu, sawdust) at the C/N ratio 35. Temperature variations in the fermentation feed production at the C/N ratio 25 indicated $68^{\circ}C$(kudzu), $70^{\circ}C$(sawdust). Optimum condition of fermentation process of water content, C/N ratio and permeability (porous structure of the mixture). For optimum fermentation gravitationally dewatered garbage, the proper mixing ratios of kudzu(moisture contents : 17.3%) and sawdust(moisture contents : 13.2%) were 41% and 39%, respectively. Major biological reaction in the aerobic fermentation feed production occurred during 12~24hrs.

The soil from constructed wetland system for sewage treatment was analyzed to examine physical and chemical characteristics. Clogging and lowered permeability were the physical matters of concern, and nutrient and salt accumulation were the chemical matters of concern. However, the soil properties of the constructed wetland system after 3 year operation demonstrated no degradation and still the soil works almost same as the initial stage. Encouragingly, no sludge accumulation was observed inside the system. Therefore, it implies that the wetland sewage treatment system can work continuously as long as it is operated and managed properly not to cause excessive pollutant loading.

NiZn-ferrite was synthesized usign waste iron oxide catalysts which were produced from styrene monomer process and buried underground as an industrial wastes. The spinel type ferrite was obtained by calcination and sintering of the mixture of finely ground waste catalysts, nickel oxide and zinc oxide powders. The sintered body of Ni/sub 0.5/Zn/sub 0.5/Fe₂O₄ composition at 1230℃ for 5 hours showed the density of 5.38g/㎤, and initial permeability of 59 at 1 kHz. Not only cerium oxide, which existed as a major component in the catalyst, but also unicorporated NiO and ZnO into spinel structure remained as second phases after sintering.

Shallow failures of slopes in weathered soils are caused by infiltration due to prolonged rainfall. These failures are mainly triggered by the deepening of the wetting band accompanied by a decrease in suction induced by the water infiltration. In this paper, hysteresis on soil-water characteristic curve(SWCC) of granite and gneiss weathered soils are investigated using transient flow analysis respectively. Each case was subjected to artificial rainfall intensities and time duration depending on the laboratory-based drying and wetting processes. The results show that the unsaturated seepage on weathered slopes are very much affected by the initial suction of soils and unsaturated permeability of the soils. In addition, a granite weathered soil has a lower air-entry value, residual matric suction, and wetting front suction and less hysteresis loop than a gneiss weathered soil.

In this study, a hydraulic model test, to which Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) system applied, was used to determine the hydrodynamic characteristics of the advection-diffusion of saltwater according to bottom conditions (impermeable/permeability, diameter, and inclination) and the difference of the initial salt. Considering quantitative and qualitative results from the experiment, the characteristics of the density current were discussed. As an experimental result, the advection-diffusion mechanism of salinity was examined by the shape of saltwater wedge and the flow structure of density currents with various bottom conditions. The vertical salt concentration obtained from the experiment was used as quantitative data to calculate the diffusion coefficient that was used in the numerical model of the advection-diffusion of saltwater.

Poly(hydroxypropyl methacrylate) membranes and matrix devices having tertiary amine moiety were prepared by sintering method, and their permeation characteristics were investigated. The water content of this membrane was increased with decreasing the pH of the medium. The permeability of this membrane was increased with decreasing the sintering pressure. Using sintered matrix device 'burst effect' was found at the early stage, and initial insulin release of glucose oxidase immobilized matrix device could be controlled by glucose concentration of the solution.
