Coil spring steels from the automobile suspension part after field exposure for 10 years and those after anti-corrosion validation test in proving ground of 5,000 ~ 10,000 km were examined for corrosion damages. Partial loss of paint, accumulation of corrosion product, and cracking of paint and superficial material were observed. The surface and subsurface region of spring steels had compressive residual stress and high hardness by shot peening. The surface hardness values of the specimens were 620 ~ 670 Hv. They were 60 ~ 80 Hv higher than those of the samples taken from the middle part of the spring. The maximum compressive stress was -916 ~ -1208 MPa measured at depth of about $100{\mu}m$. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy showed that the resistances of charge transfer and the paint layer of the spring steels ranged from several tens to millions ${\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$. The resistance of the field samples was much higher than that of the proving ground samples used in this study, implying that the proving ground test condition would be more corrosive than the field environment.

To stabilize the supply of kimchi by extending the storage period of spring kimchi cabbage, this study manufactured kimchi from spring kimchi cabbage under varying storage conditions and periods, and analyzed their quality and sensory characteristics following the maturing period. Trimming loss was lowest in the group of plasma+reverse direction+predrying+HDPE film processing. The salting yield of spring kimchi cabbage stored for 12 weeks was lower than that of spring kimchi cabbage stored for 6 weeks, and the kimchi yield was low in the pre-treatment group of spring kimchi cabbage stored for 12 weeks. The firmness was slightly different according to the storage period from one month of maturation. From the perspective of pH and acidity, the maturation in the reverse direction+pre-drying+HDPE film processing group was slower than that in the normal group (<0.05). In the sensory evaluation, the preference was increased in the low temperature storage processing group as the maturation period was increased (<0.05).

This research investigates the characteristics of meteorological variation and fine particles ($PM_{10}$ and $PM_{2.5}$) for case related to the haze occurrence (Asian dust, long range transport, stationary) in Busan. Haze occurrence day was 559 days for 20 years (from 1996 to 2015), haze occurrence frequency was 82 days (14.7%) in March, followed by 67 days (12.0%) in February and 56 days (10.0%) in May. Asian dust occurred most frequently in spring and least in winter, whereas haze occurrence frequency was 31.5% in spring, 29.7% in winter, 21.1% in fall, and 17.7% in summer. $PM_{10}$ concentration was highest in the occurrence of Asian dust, followed by haze and haze + mist, whereas $PM_{2.5}$ concentration was highest in the occurrence of haze. These results indicate that understanding the relation between meteorological phenomena and fine particle concentration can provide insight into establishing a strategy to control urban air quality.

The study investigates the mechanical deformation of a newly developed screwless omega-wire dynamic system for stabilization of the spine. The omega-wire spring stabilization system was tested under tension, compression, and dynamic compressive fatigue loads. In addition, its bending deformation was compared to that of a spiral-wire spring system using FEA. A model whose hanger inter-center distance is 60 mm showed an ultimate tensile stress of 3981.7 N at a displacement of 3.61 mm and an ultimate compressive load of 535.6 N at a displacement of 2.16 mm. Under fatigue loading of 5 Hz with 10 N/1 N, it did not show any failure over 5 million cycles, and the displacement was restricted to 8-9 mm. In the FEA, the omega-wire spring system showed more flexible bending features than did the spiral-wire spring system.

The garbage from the dwelling houses was composted in two kinds of small composter in laboratory to investigate the possibility of garbage composting. They were general small composters. One (type 1) was insullated but the other (type 2) was not. Because it was found that type 2 was not available for composting under our meteorological conditions through winter experiment, only type 1 was tested in spring and summer. The experiment was performed for 8 weeks in each season. The seasonal variation of several compounds in compost was evaluated and discussed. The result summarized belows are those taken at the end of the experiment, if the time was not specified. 1) The maximum temperature was $58^{\circ}C$ in spring, $57^{\circ}C$ in summer and $41^{\circ}C$ in winter. This temperature was enough to destroy the pathogen except for winter. 2) The mass was reduced to average 62.5% and the volume reduction was avergae 74%. 3) The density was estimated as 0.7kg/l in spring, 0.8kg/l in summer and 1.1kg/l in winter. 4) The water content was not much changed for composting periods. It had 75.6% in spring and 76.6% in summer and winter. 5) There was a great seasonal difference in pH value. It was reached to pH 6.13 in spring, pH 8.62 in summer and pH 4.75 in winter. 6) The faster organic matter was decomposed, the greater ash content was increased. Cellulose and lignin content were increased, but hemicellulose content was reduced during composting period. 7) Nitrogen contents were in the range of 3.1-5.6% and especially high in summer. After ammonium nitrogen contents were increased at the early stage of composting period, they were decreased. The maximum ammonium nitrogen content was 3,243mg/kg after 2 weeks in winter, 6,053mg/kg after 3 weeks in spring and 30,828mg/kg after 6 weeks in summer. C/N-ratios were not much changed. Nitrification occurred actively in spring and summer. 8) The contents of volatile and higher fatty acids were increased in early stage of composting and reduced after that. The maximum content of total fatty acid was 10.1% after 2 weeks in winter, 5.8% after 2 weeks in spring and 15.7% after 4 weeks in summer. 9) The contents of inorganic compounds were not accumulated as composting was proceeded. They were in the range of 0.9-4.4% $P_2O_5$, 1.6-2.9% $K_2O$, 2.4-4.6% CaO and 0.30-0.80% MgO. 10) CN and heavy metal contents did not show any tendency. They were in the range of 0.11-28.99mg/kg CN, 24-166mg/kg Zn, 5-129mg/kg Cu, 0.8-14.3mg/kg Cd, 7-42mg/kg Pb, ND-30mg/kg Cr and $ND-132.16\;{\mu}g/kg$ Hg.

This experiment was conducted to investigate the seasonal fluctuation of population density and the life history of Adoxophyes sp .. Under field-cage conditions, smaller tea tortrix had 4-5 generations a year. The average periods from egg to adult emergence were 43.7 days in spring and fall, and 35.2 days in summer. The average longevity of adults was 7.0 days in spring and fall, and 6.3 days in summer. The average numbers of egg masses and eggs laid by a female were 1.8 and 40.4 m spring and fall, and 2.3 and 49.5 in summer, respectively. Population density of smaller tea tortrix estimated by sex pheromone trap and light trap showed four peaks in each late May, late June, middle August and late September. The number of individuals caught by sex pheromone trap was 2~4 times as large as that by jight trap. Smaller tea tartrix overwimered in larval stage in southern region af Korea.

The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the differences of two canti-leyer springs by using a new simulation system. This was done using a Calorific machine that compared iron uprighting spring and root uprighting spring. The Calorific machine was designed to allow observation of the whole process of tooth moving, and is composed of three parts(a temperature regulating system, electro-thermodynamic teeth, and an artificial alveolar bone component). The experiment of both mechanics were repeated five times and measured two times. The intra-examiner agreement and inlet-examiner agreement were $96.54\%\;and\;95.73\%$ and these data were statistically tested by paired t-test. The obtained results were as follows. 1. Distal and buccal movement of the anchor teeth were observed greater in the root uprighting spring than the crown uprighting spring. 2. Crown uprighting spring showed distal movement of the crown of lower second molar for 3.29mm but root uprighting spring showed only 1.68mm. 3. Crown uprighting spring exhibited forward movement of mesial and distal root of the lower second molar for 3.91mm, 3.60mm but the root uprighting spring showed 6.76mm, 6.26mm.

The seismic responses of a base Isolated Pressurized Water Reactor(PWR) are investigated using a mathematical model which expresses the superstructure as a linear lumped mass-spring and the seismic Isolator as an equivalent spring-damper. Time history analyses are performed for the 1940 El Centre earthquake with linear amplification. In the analysis 5% of structural damping is used for the superstructure. The effects of high damping rubber bearing on seismic response of the superstructure in base isolated system are evaluated for four stiffness model types. The acceleration responses in base isolated PWR superstructure with high damping rubber bearings are much smaller than those in fixed base structure. In the higher strain region where stiffness behaves non-linearly, the acceleration responses modelled by one equivalent stiffness are smaller than those in nonlinear spring model, and the higher stiffness spring model of isolator exhibits larger peak acceleration response at superstructure in the frequency range above 2.0 Hz. when subjected to linearly amplified 1940 El Centre earthquake.

Modelling and crashworthiness analysis of simplified vehicle structures with beam element and nonlinear spring element to which axial and bending collapse mecha- nisms are applied are carried out. And on the basis of these analyses, two types of full car modelling and crahworthiness analyses with nonlinear spring and beam element are accomplished. The one is the full car model of which 30% of the structures are modelled with nonlinear spring and beam element, and the other 75% of whole structures. And the results are compared with those of full car analysis with shell element.

The immature embryos during seed development were examined to predict the suitable embryos for an efficient regeneration system. Five spring wheat genotypes and five winter wheat genotypes were tested using immature embryos as explants. Spring wheat genotypes showed much higher levels of plant regeneration than those of winter wheat genotypes. The highest frequencies of embryogenesis and regeneration were obtained when embryos at 13-14 days after anthesis (DAA) were used as explant and decreased using embryos at 21-22 DAA during seed development. Significant differences were also found for callus induction and regeneration as affected by immature embryo size. The regeneration efficiency was drastically decreased in spring and winter wheat genotypes when embryos larger than 2.0 mm of length were used. The optimum developmental stage and embryo length for regeneration efficiency were at 13-14 DAA and 1.0-1.5 mm, respectively. The selection of suitable embryos for the high frequencies of embryogenesis and regeneration leads us to efficient genetic improvement of wheat.
