To meet the ever increasing quality demand of coated papers and duplex boards, the local gloss variation and print unevenness must be avoid. To do this, surface roughening phenomenon which affects local gloss and print unevenness was investigated. In this study, the effect of roughness and densification of sheet obtained at various calendering conditions on surface roughening was examined. To evaluate the calendering effect properly we introduced a new value of roughening index by moisture for evaluation of surface roughening. Caliper and roughness of sheet decreased with increasing of calendering temperature and pressure, and the remarkable reduction of those properties occurred at the temperature around Tg. Roughening index increased when the amount of water increased and calendaring temperature and pressure increased. And as the sheet became denser by calendering, the roughening index increased to some extent. But roughening index by moisture is the lowest for sheet precalendered at higher temperature condition. When the surface of calendered sheet is rougher, there is more roughening of surface. The severe condition of calendering made the roughening index by moisture small.

This paper provides the test results of bonding behavior of the interface between concrete substrate and carbon fiber in the rehabilitation method applying carbon fiber with epoxy based resin adhesive. The difference in each components was gradually increased subjected to the repetition of temperature variation, regardless of the strength of the substrate concrete, while the ultrasonic interface between each component occurred. An increase in difference of the temperature resulted in a decrease in bond strength of each component. Associated failure mode was shown to be interfacial failure and substrate concrete failure. No remarkable changes were found in the deformation and ultrasonic velocity of each component until the four cycles of the dry and moisture test. Hence, the moisture condition may not affect the bonding behavior of each component. After the repetition of dry and moisture test, corresponding bond strength was reduced to 40% of that before test. For the effect of freeze and thaw test, the cycle of freeze and thaw within 4 cycles resulted in debonding of each component.

The tropopause fold event that took place on January 1, 1997 over mid-region on the Korean Peninsula is examined by means of a numerical simulation based on a Mesoscale Model (MM5). The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of moisture in reinforcing a tropopause fold linked to an explosive cyclone. Two types of simulations were carried out; 1) simulations for moist conditions in which full physical and dynamic processes are considered and 2) simulations for dry conditions in which cumulus parameterization and cloud microphysics process are excluded. The results of the moist condition simulations demonstrate that the intensity of the central pressure of the cyclone was overestimated compared with the observed values and that the location of the center and the pressure deepening rates (-17 hPa/12 hr) complied with the observed values. The potential vorticity (PV) anomaly on the isentropic surface at 305 K continued to move in a southeast direction on January 1, 1997 and thus created a single tube of tropopause fold covering the northern and the middle area of the Korean Peninsula and reaching the ground surface at 0300 UTC and 0600 UTC. The results of the dry condition simulations show that the tropopause descended to 500 and 670 hPa in 0300 and 0600 UTC, respectively at the same location for the moist condition simulation; however, there was no deep tropopause fold observed. A comparison of the simulated data between the moist and the dry conditions suggests that a deep tropopause fold should happen when there is sufficient moist in the atmosphere and significantly large PV in the lower atmosphere pulls down the upper atmosphere rather than when the tropopause descends itself due to dynamic causes. Thus, it is estimated that moisture in the atmosphere should have played a crucial role in a deep tropopause fold process.

This study analyzed the effect of irrigation reservoirs, antecedent soil moisture conditions (AMC) and Huff time distribution on peak discharge using Monte Carlo simulation. The peak discharge was estimated for four different cases in combination of irrigation reservoir capacity, AMC, and Huff time distribution. Applying 100% reservoir capacity or AMC-III, the peak discharges corresponding return periods of 50~300 years were overestimated by 25~30% compared to those of cases that considered the probability of occurrence for individual condition. Applying the 3rd quantile huff distribution, the peak discharges were overestimated by 5% over the peak discharge that considered the probability of occurrence. The overall results indicated that the effect on the peak flood of Huff distribution was less than AMC and reservoir storage.

Objectives : Acne is a common disease that affects more than 70% of adolescents. Acne patients have a poor quality of life compared to patients with other skin diseases. We tried to demonstrate the effectiveness of acne treatment using cleansing soap which is easily used in daily life. Methods : We selected 20 students with acne symptoms on their facial skin. We made herbal Cp (Cold process) soaps using Seosiokyongsan, Kyungohkgo, Hwangryunhaedoktang and Baeksoooh and distributed them to experiment participants. We let them wash their face in the morning and evening for 6 weeks using herbal Cp soap. Prior to the experiment, their skin condition was checked and assessed using A-ONE Smart One-Click Automatic Facial Diagnosis System three times at 3-week intervals. Acne status was classified into 6 stages according to KAGS and acne status was also measured 3 times in total. After the experiment, the changes of skin were analyzed through facial analysis test. Results : Based on the KAGS classification, the condition of acne has improved as a whole. The state of moisture was gradually increased and the state of skin oil was significantly decreased after 6 weeks of using soap compared to before using soap. Conclusions : Cp soaps made from four kinds of herbal medicine are believed to improve the condition of acne by increasing the moisture of the facial skin and decreasing the skin oil content.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to find out the efficacy of placenta on the skin by comparing the difference effect between only MTS (microneedle therapy system) and the placenta extract application after MTS treatment. Methods : The present author performed once a week and total 4 times of MTS treatment. The treatment time took about 5~10 minutes and the depth of the needle was adjusted according to the participant's skin condition. One week after each treatment, the change of skin condition was measured. Two weeks after the end of the clinical trial, the skin condition was checked again. Results : In the case of moisture and elasticity, significant increases were observed in both the experimental and control groups. In the experimental group, skin temperature significantly decreased one week after the second treatment, and pore size significantly increased one week after the third treatment. In the case of skin tone, there was a significant temporary decrease after the first treatment in the control group, and in the experimental group, the skin tone showed a total decrease. Conclusion : When placenta extract was applied after MTS, skin temperature decreased and pores enlarged in the second and third treatments, and side effects such as rash and itchiness appeared. The final result showed a significant increase in skin moisture and elasticity. When animal-based ingredients containing high fat content are applied to the skin, the effect on the skin is good, but hypersensitivity reactions may occur, so use them with caution.

The field measurement and laboratory experiment were conducted to investigate the effect of reducing the surface temperature of the functional aspect of the heat island phenomenon of the permeable block which is made the recycled synthetic resin rather than the existing concrete permeable block. Field measurement was taken for 3 days in consideration of dry condition and wet condition and laboratory experiment was divided into dry condition, rainfall simulating condition, and wetting condition. The variations of temperature and the evaporation rate of water moisture content after experiment were confirmed. As a result of field measurement, it is confirmed that the surface temperature decreases due to the difference in albedo of the pore block surface rather than the cooling effect due to the latent heat of vaporization. The evaporation of moisture in a dry state where drought persisted or a certain level of moisture was not maintained in the surface layer. As a result of laboratory experiment, resin permeable block gives higher surface temperature when it is dry condition than concrete permeable block, but the evaporation of water in the pore is kept constant by capillary force in rainfall simulation condition, and higher temperature reduction rate. As a result of measuring the evaporation rate after laboratory experiment, it is confirmed that the effect of reducing temperature is increased as the evaporation rate of water is higher. Based on these results, correlation formula for evaporation rate and temperature reduction rate is derived.

This research analyzed the fuel characteristic change of spent coffee bean by torrefaction. The calorific value was increased from 4,974 kcal/kg to 6,075 kcal/kg ($260^{\circ}C$, 30min), 6,452 kcal/kg ($270^{\circ}C$, 30min), 6,823 kcal/kg ($280^{\circ}C$, 30min), 6,970 kcal/kg ($260^{\circ}C$, 30min). The highest energy yield was obtained when the spent coffee bean were torrefied on the condition of $280^{\circ}C$, 30min. The moisture absorption rate was decreased from 5.12% to 2.76% when the spent coffee bean were torrefied on the condition of $290^{\circ}C$, 30min. Lignin was increased from 11.33% to 14.39% on the condition of $260^{\circ}C$ 30min. But it did not preferability to torrefy spent coffee bean at temperature of more than $270^{\circ}C$ because lignin decreases to the level that is hard to make pellet.

In this study, the conceptual foundation and development process of the Antecedent soil Moisture Condition(AMC) in SCS runoff curve number method are reviewed. Although the runoff volume is very sensitive with AMC condition, the AMC class limits developed in SCS(1972) are used in rainfall-runoff analysis without careful consideration. Tn this study, following the SCS curve number development process, rainfall-runoff characteristics of the Jang-Pyung subbasin subject to the Pyung-Chang River basin are analyzed to evaluate the reasonability of the AMC class limits at present. The New AMC class limits are proposed by the sensitive analysis of the antecedent rainfall - curve number value. As a result, the classification value of AMC-I with II is 22mm of antecedent 5-day rainfall amount, and the classification of AMC-II with III is 117mm in growing season. When the New AMC class limits are applied to Jang-Pyung subbasin, AMC probability distribution shows that the AMC-II has increased remarkably even though the AMC-I has a little higher value. But the AMC-III has the smallest one. According to the conceptual basis of the curve number method, the AMC probability distribution, the New AMC class limits adopted, gives reasonable results.
