The use of cathodic protection for metals can be achieved by sacrificial anode CP or impressed current CP, or a combination of both. Cathodic protection is a highly effective anti-corrosion technique for submerged metals or metals in soil. But because the non-immersion atmospheric automobile environment is a high resistance environment, it is limited by fundamental cathodic protection. However, the application of cathodic protection to automobiles is attractive because of the possibility of maintaining corrosion resistance while using lower-cost materials. A commercially available product for automobiles that uses both sacrificial anode CP and impressed current CP was tested in a periodic salt spray environment to investigate the performance of the devices. Experimental results show that the metal to be protected has different anti-corrosion effects depending on the distance from the anode of the device, but it is effective for the entire 120 cm long specimen exposed with one anode. The cathodic protection is effective because the conductive tape attached to the anode of the structure to be protected acts as a constant electrolyte in wet and dry conditions. The results show that the entire standard passenger car can be protected by cathodic protection with 4 anodes.

This study aims to measure and to analyze the characteristics of thermal environment of the various permeable pavement materials such as a break stone pavement (Green block cubic), soil protection pavement (Soil tector), soil cement pavement and ceramic brick pavement under the summer outdoor environment. The thermal environment characteristics measured in the study includes the changes of surface temperature during the day, and long and short wave radiation of each pavement surface. The experimental condition is based on the data on the hottest temperature (August 9, 2006, $37.1^{\circ}C$) of the year. The albedo was the highest on the break stone pavement(0.8) from 12:00 to 14:00. The albedo of the ceramic brick pavement, a soil tector pavement and soil cement pavement were 0.35, 0.29 and 0.27 from 12:00 to 14:00, respectively. The peak surface temperature and long wave radiation was the highest on the soil protection pavements($56.6^{\circ}C$/627 W/$m^2$). The peak surface temperatures and long wave radiation on the ceramic brick pavement, a stone brick pavement and soil cement pavement were $51.7^{\circ}C$/627 W/$m^2$, $48.8^{\circ}C$/607 W/$m^2$ and $45.9^{\circ}C$/582 W/$m^2$, respectively. The heat environment was better on the break stone pavement than on the other pavements. This is mainly due to the high albedo of the break stone pavement(0.8) while the albedo value of a ceramic brick pavement, a soil tactor pavement and soil cement pavement were 0.35. 0.29 and 0.27. Large heat capacity($2,629kJ/m^3{\cdot}K$) of the stone brick pavements also contributes to this difference. The heat environment was better on the soil cement pavement than the soil tector pavement. This is mainly due to the evaporation of the soil cement pavement while the active evaporation of the soil tactor pavement was not continued after two days from the rainfall event. To improve the thermal environments in the urban area, it is recommended to raise the albedo of the pavements by brightening the surface color of the pavement materials. Further studies on the pavement materials and the construction methods which can enhance the continuous evapotranspiration from the pavements surface are needed.

The plaster mixed to loam and sandy soil from 4 to 12 percent by dry soil weight, and the compaction, permeability, CBR, unconfined compressive strength and freezingthawing test were performed The results obtained are summarized as follows; 1.The coefficient of permeability reduced sharply at the plaster content of 4 percent, and in the CBR test, the swelling ratio reduced by the increment of plaster content. 2.The addition of plaster increased the unconfined compressive strength by the cementing effect, and it was found that the optimum plaster content, existed with the soil type, which showed the maximum strength 3.It was possible to enhance the unconfined compressive strength of the gypsum-lime-soil mixtures when the optimum content of plaster was mixed to the hydrated lime. 4.In case of sandy soil, the relative frost heave decreased with the mixture of plaster, however in loam soil, the relative frost heave began to increase at the plaster content of 12 percent than non-treated soil. Therefore the optimum plaster content existed for protecting frost heave by the different soil type. 5.The above summarized results make it possible to expect the effects such as improvement of soil properties, decrement of permeability, increment of unconfined compressive strength, and protection of frost heave, etc, therefore, it is considered that it is possible to it is plaster as sub-base materials of road.

In spite of highly advanced paint coating techniques, corrosion damage of marine metal and alloys increase more and more due to inherent micro-cracks and porosities in coatings formed during the coating process. Furthermore, flowing seawater conditions promote the breakdown of the protective oxide of the materials introducing more oxygen into marine environments, leading to the acceleration of corrosion. Various corrosion protection methods are available to prevent steel from marine corrosion. Cathodic protection is one of the useful corrosion protection methods by which the potential of the corroded metal is intentionally lowered to an immune state having the advantage of providing additional protection barriers to steel exposed to aqueous corrosion or soil corrosion, in addition to the coating. In the present investigation, the effect of flow velocity was examined for the determination of the optimum corrosion protection current density in cathodic protection as well as the corrosion rate of the steel. It is demonstrated from the result that the material corrosion under dynamic flowing conditions seems more prone to corrosion than under static conditions.

지표하부 상층 오염지하수의 침투로 인한 암반 지하수의 오염을 방지하기 위하여 지하수 개발과정에서 반드시 지표하부 지하수 오염방지를 이행하도록 지하수법에 규정하고 있다. 널리 알려진 지표하부 오염방지 공법으로서는 팩카그라우팅 공법(packer Grouting Method), 트레미공법(Tremie Method)과 브레든 헤드 공법(Bradenhead Method)이 있다. 그러나, 현재 대다수의 지하수 개발 현장에서는 단순히 강관을 굴착공에 억지박음함으로써 지표하부 오염방지에 가름하는 사례가 다반사이며 깊은 심도의 경우에도 종래 공법으로는 한계를 가질 수밖에 없는 실정이었다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 차폐 팩카(Protection Packer)를 이용하여 고, 저심도의 어느 지하수 심정에서나 용이하게 역주입 상향그라우팅이 가능한 여건이 될 수 있도록 시공 사례를 통해 연구를 수행하였다.

The sorption of radioactive cobalt and ruthenium on alumina, silica gel, zeolite 3A, kaolin and Na-bentonite has been studied as a function of pH. nuclide concentration and ionic strength. Retardation factor for cobalt and ruthenium on soil minerals was determined through porosity measurement. Hydrolysed species, cobalt and ruthenium interact with solid surfaces by physical adsorption processes. Freundlich sorption isotherms for cobalt and ruthenium are effectively linear. The sorption decreases with increasing ionic strength for cobalt and ruthenium. The effect of increasing porosity on the retardation factor countered the effect of a significant increase in the distribution coefficient.

In replicated field trials, the efficacy of pentachloronitrobenzene (PCNB; quintozene) for control of damping-off of ginseng seedlings was found to be affected by timing of application and formulation. Application at the time of seeding and prior to placement of straw mulch was found to provide the moat consistent level of disease control. However, decline in plant stand during the four-year production cycle resulted in most treatments providing similar levels of plant populations at harvest. Soil residues of pentachloronitrobenzene were generally highest (1 $\mu\textrm{g}$ PCNB/g soil) in those treatments that exhibited the highest levels of disease control in the seedling year. Straw contained high levels of quintozene after application. Beet seed assays with artificially-infested soils indicated that current use rates provide an amount of product suitable for high levels of disease control.

One hundred fifty four our of 262 isolates of Fusarium oxysporum obtained from healthy plant tissues of various crops and their rhizosphere soil were found to be nonpathogenic to cucumber plants. The nonpathogenic isolates were frequently found from sesame plant tissues and rhizosphere soil, but less from healthy plant tissues of cucumber and water melon. When the 154 nonpathogenic isolates were preinoculated into cucumber seedlings, and then challenge-inoculated with Fusarium wilt pathogen, 21 isolates protected effectively cucumber plants from Fusarium wilt infections. A year later, 9 out of 21 isolates fully sustained their protective effect. Among 9 isolates showing good protective effects, 7 were isolates from cucumber plants. These 9 isolates except 1 isolate, were not pathogenic to water melon, chines melon, tomato and sesame.
