Bottom ash from a coal-fired power plant is usually landfilled to a nearby site, which causes a growing environmental concern and increased operating costs. One way of recycling the bottom ash is to produce light-weight aggregate (LWA) using a rotary kiln. This study investigated the temperature profiles of raw LWA particles in a rotary kiln to identify the range of operating conditions appropriate for ideal bloating. For this purpose, a new simulation method was developed to integrate a 1-dimensional model for the bed of LWA particles and the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for the fuel combustion and gas flow. The temperature of LWA particles was found very sensitive to the changes in the air preheating temperature and excess air ratio. Therefore, an accurate control of the operation parameters was essential to achieve the bloating of LWA particles without excessive sintering or melting.

The total area of domestic reclaimed lands is 54,379 ha, and among these, 30,394 ha can be agriculturally available. To increase an agricultural availability of reclaimed land, controlled horticultural products that can be highly profitable have come to the fore. However, as being characteristically concerning, when original glasshouse is intactly applied in reclaimed land, it is unsafe on account of ground subsidence and, even if ground were reinforced, it has a problem by high cost. So a new greenhouse model would be necessary taking into account not only cost-efficiency but also safety with relatively light-weight one. Before this, this paper estimated acceptance rate of controlled horticultural complexes in reclaimed land and new greenhouse model for 414 farmers. The annual rental fee is 129,712,500 won/ha, considering the interest rate (2.5 %) of the investment, the depreciation cost of the facilities (straight line depreciation method, 20 years of service life estimated), and government subsidy rate (50 %) which resulted in a sufficient number of intended tenants with the acceptance rate of 0.33. The results of this paper may contribute to the government's policies for reclaimed land.

Recently, the combination of mobile and NFC aroused great momentum for Activation of NFC services market. Especially, mCoupon service using NFC has been utilized in a variety consumer marketing. However, mCoupons differ significantly from paper-based coupons because unprotected data can be easily copied or modified without significant cost by anyone. A high number of uncontrolled copies of coupons can result in a significant loss. In this paper, we proposed a light-weight signature scheme that is protected against illegal use in nfc mobile payment environment to using limited resources.

The purpose of this study is to validate the environmental performance of the 'eco-friendly lightweight form' in the construction process. Unlike existing euro form and aluminum form, the proposed form does not require form oil during the process of concrete casting and is lightweight because it is made of engineering plastic. Therefore, eco-friendly lightweight form will reduce the $CO_2$ emissions in the construction process. To verify the hypothesis, the study compared existing forms and eco-friendly light weight form's $CO_2$ emissions in each stage in construction process when using 1,000 forms and 100 times from the LCI(Life Cycle Inventory) data. The total $CO_2$ emissions of the eco-friendly light weight form were 30,487kg $CO_2$, which equated to about 58% and 20% less emissions than the euroform and aluminum form. The result of the study verified that the eco-friendly lightweight form was effectively reduced $CO_2$ emission in the construction process.

The main problem with roads is that cracks and settlement occur over time due to loads acting from the surface layer. One way to solve this problem is to use Geocell. Geocell can be used for structural reinforcement for erosion prevention, ground stabilization on flat and steep slopes, load bearing, and ground preservation. In this study, analyzed road pavement application cases using Geocell and purpose of this study is to analyze the bearing capacity of a road paving method including Geocell using field tests and LFWD(Light Falling Weight Deflectometer) equipment. In addition, the bearing capacity was compared and analyzed with the existing traditional road pavement method.

The floating floor is a structure which introduced to reduce the noise of apartment houses. This structure can decrease vibration energy through resilient materials. However, it is limited to completely construct resilient materials in South Korea due to floor heating structure and other reasons. And It is a controversial issue how well the resilient materials should be constructed to prevent floor impact noise. These resilient defect areas are typically found in wall corners, door sills, hot water dispenser in kitchen and areas where thermal insulation is attached. This study investigates the acoustical effect of the defect areas in two ways. First, it is analyzed by several assumption conditions and calculated how much deviation would occur. Then we researched the deviation of the 76 field test data about light-weight floor impact noise. This study could be useful for a constructor to determine how much should minimize resilient materials defect areas.

This study evaluated the effects of stocking density on performance and behavioral activities of 35-day-old broilers in relation to incandescent white bulb (IB) light and LED yellow and white light. A total of 1,650 day-old chicks were weighed and randomly allocated into six treatment groups in a 2 × 3 factorial arrangement based on stocking density (14 birds m^-2 and 22 birds m^-2) and color of lights (IB; monochromatic LED yellow and white light) with five replicates for each treatment. The results showed that final body weight, weight gain and feed conversion of broilers were improved at a stocking density of 14 birds m^-2 with exposure to LED lights. Similarly, broilers spent more time exhibiting inactive behavior (e.g. standing) and active behaviors (e.g. walking and walking plus pecking) under 14 birds m^-2 with exposure to lights as compared that of other treatment groups. Regarding a stocking density of 22 birds m^-2, broilers performance traits were negatively affected and also activities were less. The performance of broilers was not significantly altered for the main factor of different lights but broilers were less inactive (e.g less time spent sitting plus standing) and more time spent active behavior in walking under IB light than LED light. Thus, we concluded that a stocking density 14 birds m^-2 with exposure to LED light significantly improved broiler performance and behavioral activity and these conditions could therefore improve the overall welfare of farmed chickens.

This study was conducted to response the photosynthetic rate and anatomical characters in one year ginseng plant against the light transmission ratio (10%, 20% and 30% in natural light) under shading materials by polyethylene (PE) net. The chlorophyll content and the photosynthesis of ginseng according to the light transmissivity showed decreasing trend as the light transmission ratio increased. At the higher light transmission ratio condition, leaves showed the chlorosis due to the physiological disorder, stems formed hypodermis, and phloem development inside the vascular tissue shrunk remarkably. Also, roots showed the epidermis destruction and less cambium development at the higher light intensity. The root weight also decreased as the light transmission ratio increased.

This experiment was conducted to study a cause of lodging on culm internode. The rice varieties were undergone on injuries by typo on 'Agnes' on Jeonbug Provincial in 1981 year. Long-culmed varieties had extreme lodging injury but short-culmed varieties were not serious. The lodging had weaken tolerance when culm internode was long, weight of internode per unit length was light, and culm diameter and culm wall were thin. The breaking weight of internode was light in lodging rice field. The internode length and the weight of internode per unit length between the breaking weight of internode had significant correlation. Lodging had high tolerance when the total nitrogen was low, phosphate, silica, cellulose and starch contents were high in internode. The difference of culm length and the weight of internode per unit length was high relationship with lodging.h lodging.
