This study is intended to devolop the self waterproof agents for high performance concrete by analyzing the properties of fresh and hardened mortar with various addition ratios of the inorganic admixture and zinc stearate. As the results of the test, the flow and air content increase with the addition of expansive additives. When the replacement rate of silica fume increases, the flow decreases for the increased viscidity. And the flow and sir content decrease with the addition of zinc stearate. At hardened state, the compressive strength, tensile strength and flexual strength decrease with the addition of expansive additives and zinc stearate. With the increase of silica fume's replacement, they show a little decrease at early age and then increase gradually. Also, absorption and permeability show a steep decrease when zinc stearate is added, and a slack decrease with the replacement of silica fume.

Bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) have been suggested as a new technology for wastewater treatment while accomplishing energy and chemical generation. This study describes the performance of BESs based on mixed culture that are capable of reducing carbon dioxide to acetate. The cathode potential was a critical factor that affected the performance of the BESs. The rate of acetate production increased as the electrode potential became more negative, from 0.38 mM $d^{-1}$ (-900 mV vs. Ag/AgCl) to 2.35 mM $d^{-1}$ (-1,100 mV), while the electron recovery efficiency of carbon dioxide reduction to acetate increased from 53.6% to 89.5%. The microbial population was dominated by relatives of Acetobacterium woodii when a methanogenic inhibitor was added to the BESs initially.

Synthetic vectors have been considered as a safer and more versatile alternative to viral-based gene delivery systems. A variety of simple synthetic vector systems such as cationic lipid- and polymer-complexed plasmid DNA were shown to have a significant transfection activity in vitro but their use in vivo has been hampered by the decrease in transfection efficiency mediated by non-specific electrostatic interactions with serum components.

Comprehensive utilization of tungsten tailings resources not only solves environmental problems but also creates huge economic benefits. The high content of iron impurity in tungsten tailings will have adverse effect on the downstream comprehensive utilization, whether flotation or pickling. In this paper, the Superconducting High Gradient Magnetic Separation(S-HGMS) is used to remove of Fe impurities from tungsten tailings. The optimal experimental parameters are as follows: background magnetic induction intensity is 3.0T, slurry flow velocity is 500ml/min. The Fe removal rate of Fe was 68.8% and the recovery rate was 59.53%.

Nonferrous metals have a very important position in industry. At present, parts of shipbuilding, automobile, and aircraft etc. are designed and manufactured accurately, simultaneity need light-weight and high-strength. Aluminum copper alloys are one kind of typical precipitation hardening alloy which has been widely used. It is interesting to investigate transformation behavior of precipitated phase in such kind of alloys under high magnetic field. Transformation of materials under high magnetic field is many different compared with conventional condition. The author prepared the Al-4%Cu alloy.

The cultured mycelia of fungus Ganoderma lucidum were investigated for the inhibitory effect on the growth of s.c. transplanted Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) in BDF-1 mice by intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration. The cultured mycelia showed antitumor activity with T/C values of 89.6 and 50.3 % at doses of 100 and 500 mg/kg, respectively, compared to adriamycin, which was used a positive control, with T/C value of 54.6 % at 2 mg/kg.

Nutrients were investigated for surface water, bottom sediment and ground water in a rural watershed from January 2006 to March 2007. The concentrations of TN and $NO_3-N$ in ground water were higher than those in surface water due to fertilization on cabbage upland neighboring a river during March to August, but lower than those in surface water during September to February. However, the concentrations TP and $PO_4-P$ in ground water were lower than those in surface water. The concentrations of TP and $PO_4-P$ in surface water was lower than those in bottom sediment. The TP concentration in the bottom greatly decreased during rainy season. due to flush sediment of bottom, and then gradually increased.

This paper presents an efficient and accurate coupled beam model for piezoelectric bimorphs based on improved first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT). The model combines the equivalent single layer approach for the mechanical displacements and a layerwise modeling for the electric potential. General electric field function is proposed to reasonably approximate the through-the-thickness distribution of the applied and induced electric potentials. Layerwise defined shear correction factor (k) accounting for nonlinear shear strain distribution is introduced into both the shear stress resultant and the electric displacement integration. Analytical solutions for free vibrations and forced response under electromechanical loads are obtained for the simply supported piezoelectric bimorphs with series or parallel arrangement, and the numerical results for various length-to-thickness ratios are compared with the exact two-dimensional piezoelasticity solution. Excellent predictions with low error estimates of local and global responses as well as the modal frequencies are observed.

As the nation's standard of living rises lately, the common interest in the environmental issue is raised and the environmental design of a transmission line is needed. When the environmental design is needed, KEPCO used a steel pole instead of a rectangular tower. A steel pole has many advantages such as simplification of a tower and less damage to the forest according to less demand of site. But the weak withstand weight of a mono type steel pole is a problem. This paper introduces an H type steel pole which improves its withstand weight, reduces a diameter of a pole from 2.6m to 1.3m and decreases joining points according to the increase of unit length of a pole from 6m to 9m.

Hydrotalcite, layered double hydroxides (LDH), with hexagonal morphology has been rapidly synthesized by microwave reaction within 1 hour by urea hydrolysis from homogeneous solution. Different synthesis parameters, Mg/Al molar ratio, microwave reaction temperature and microwave power were systematically investigated. Pure hydrotalcite phase was obtained for Mg/Al ratios of 2:1 and 3:1, and higher reaction temperature gave higher crystallinity. The hydrotalcite synthesized at 600W power shows the highest crystallinity and more homogeneous crystal size distribution. The hydrotalcite samples were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), simultaneous thermogravimetric/differential thermal analysis (TG/DTA), Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) and Scanning electron micrograph (SEM).
