Objective: A study was conducted to quantify the performance differences of the near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) calibration models developed with different degrees of hay sample preparations. Methods: A total of 227 imported alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) and another 360 imported timothy (Phleum pratense L.) hay samples were used to develop calibration models for nutrient value parameters such as moisture, neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber, crude protein, and in vitro dry matter digestibility. Spectral data of hay samples prepared by milling into 1-mm particle size or unground were separately regressed against the wet chemistry results of the abovementioned parameters. Results: The performance of the developed NIRS calibration models was evaluated based on R², standard error, and ratio percentage deviation (RPD). The models developed with ground hay were more robust and accurate than those with unground hay based on calibration model performance indexes such as R² (coefficient of determination), standard error, and RPD. Although the R² of calibration models was mainly greater than 0.90 across the feed value indexes, the R² of cross-validations was much lower. The R² of cross-validation varies depending on feed value indexes, which ranged from 0.61 to 0.81 in alfalfa, and from 0.62 to 0.95 in timothy. Estimation of feed values in imported hay can be achievable by the calibrated NIRS. However, the NIRS calibration models must be improved by including a broader range of imported hay samples in the modeling. Conclusion: Although the analysis accuracy of NIRS was substantially higher when calibration models were developed with ground samples, less sample preparation will be more advantageous for achieving rapid delivery of hay sample analysis results. Therefore, further research warrants investigating the level of sample preparations compromising analysis accuracy by NIRS.

The concentration of B in steels is important due to its influence on mechanical properties of steel such as hardenability, hot workability, and creep resistance. An analytical method has been developed to determine B in steel samples by high-resolution inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (HR-ICP-MS). National Institute of Standard and Technology Standard Reference Material (NIST SRM) 348a was analyzed to validate the analytical method. The steel sample was digested in a centrifuge bottle with addition of aqua regia and $^{10}B$ spike isotope. Sample pH was then adjusted to higher than 10 to precipitate most matrix elements such as Fe, Cr, and Ni. After centrifugation, the supernatant solution was passed through a cation exchange column to enhance the matrix separation efficiency. B recovery efficiency was about 37%, while matrix removal efficiency was higher than 99.9% for major matrix elements. The isotope dilution method was used for quantification and the determined B concentration was in good agreement with the certified value.

Power net fabric is one of the highly extensible two-way fabrics. Power net structure shows special characteristics in the wearing of final functional clothes. This research evaluated effects of treatment temperature on proportional extensibility and shrinkage ratio of spandex at a given wale length. As treatment temperature increased, extensibility increased proportionally to the standard length of the sample and the shrinkage ratio in the direction of course and wale increased. The pulling-out length increased proportionally to the standard length of the sample. However it was affected by the effect of treatment time and temperature due to the thermal properties of spandex filament yarn.

Concrete has cracks from shrinkage that necessarily result from in hardening process. Shrinkage-reduced concrete developed for crack reduction was utilized at a sample construction project. As a result, it is confirmed that crack initation ratio was remarkably reduced when compared to the case of normal concrete utilization. Additional sample project is supposed to use delay joints as well as srinkage-reduced concrete. Subsequently, the result will be reported. The greatest factor which affects in drying shrinkage is unit quantity of water. However, there are a lot off difficulties in field supervision because proper measuring means is not presented in present standard. Therfore, problems depending on ready-mixed concrete concrete companies should be improved by preparing the related standard assoon as possible.

The results of a restricted numerical simulation for the color gradients within globular clusters have been presented. The standard luminosity function of M3 and Salperter's initial mass functions were used to generate model clusters as a fundamental population. Color gradients with the sample clusters for both King and power law cusp models of surface brightness distributions are discussed in the case of using the standard luminosity function. The dependence of color gradients on several parameters for the simulations with Salpter's initial mass functions, such as slope of initial mass functions, cluster ages, metallicities, concentration parameters of King model, and slopes of power law, are also discussed. No significant radial color gradients are shown to the sample clusters which are regenerated by a random number generation technique with various parameters in both of King and power law cusp models of surface brightness distributions. Dynamical mass segregation and stellar evolution of horizontal branch stars and blue stragglers should be included for the general case of model simulations to show the observed radial color gradients within globular clusters.

The continual reassessment method (CRM) provides a Bayesian estimation of the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) in phase I clinical trials. The CRM has been proposed as an alternative design of the standard design. The CRM has been modified to improve practical feasibility and, recently, the likelihood approach CRM has been proposed. In this paper we investigate the consistency and asymptotic normality of the modified likelihood approach CRM in which the maximum likelihood estimate is used instead of the posterior mean. Small-sample properties of the consistency is examined using complete enumeration. Both the asymptotic results and their small-sample properties show that the modified CRML outperforms the standard design.

Under the various variations of the sample thickness, the load increment ratio and the load increment duration, this consolidation test of the clay in the Asan Bay was tried for the comparison with the standard consolidation test. The results gained are as follows; 1. The void ratio variations of the leached-clay samples were increasingly high, according as the sample thickness thinned and the load increment duration and the laod increment ratio increased. 2. The coefficient of consolidation were increased with the increment of the sample thickness, of the load increment ratio and of the load increment duration. Near the pre-consolidation load, the coefficient of secondary consolidation had the maximum value and lessened with the increment of the sample thicknss, and of the load increment duration 3. The value of the pre-consolidation load increased in proportion to the increment of the sample thickness and the decrease of the load increment ratio and the load increment duration. 4. The compression indices increased as the increment of load increased and decreased as the sample thickness increased. 5. The initial compression ratio increased as the sample thickness, the load increment ratio and the load increment duration decreased. The ratio of primary compression to the secondary decreased with the increment of the sample thickness and of the load increment ratio. 6. The time at the completion of psimary consolidation increased with the increment of the sample thickness and of the consolidation load, and with the decrease of the load increment ratio. 7. The compression indicses increaed as the sample thickness lessened and decreased as the load increment ratio increased. The coefficient of consolidation increased according as the sample thickness, the load increment ratio and the load increment duration went up. The settlement at the construction site should be calculated highly in proportion as the sample thickness lessened and the load increment ratio increased. The consolidation ratio is thought to be accelerated if the sample thickness and the load increment ratio becomes higher and the load increment duration longer.

건축자재에서 방출되는 오염물질을 평가하는 20 L 시험챔버법은 챔버 내부에 노출되는 시료의 표면방출만을 측정한다. 일정한 크기로 절단한 시편을 알루미늄 호일로 감싼 후 시편홀더에 고정시켜 20 L 시험챔버 내에 위치시킨 후 방출시험을 실시한다. 이때 시편홀더의 기밀성이 보장되지 못한다면 시료절단면에서 방출되는 오염물질로 인하여 정확한 평가가 이루어질 수 없다. 이러한 절단면의 영향은 표면처리를 하여 표면에서 보다 절단면에서 더 많은 오염물질이 방출되는 판상재(합판, 장판) 시료의 경우 더 크다. 이 연구에서는 바닥재로 사용되는 장판을 대상으로 20 L 시험챔버와 1 L 시험챔버의 방출시험결과를 비교하여 시편홀더의 기밀성을 확인하였다. 또한 가구재로 사용되는 LPM 양면처리한 MDF를 대상으로 현행의 시험방법과 시료절단면을 VOC 저방출 tape으로 밀봉한 방법을 비교하여 시편홀더의 부족한 기밀성의 개선이 가능하지 확인하였다. LPM 양면처리한 MDF의 7일 경과 후 방출강도는 TVOC의 경우 Tape 사용 유무에 따라 각각 $0.009mg/m^2h$, $0.003mg/m^2h$로 기밀성을 보완할 수 있었다. 또한 n=3에서 상대표준편차가 현행의 방법은 $0.004mg/m^2h$, tape을 사용했을 경우 $0.002mg/m^2h$로 현행 방법의 시험편홀더 기밀성 부족으로 인한 절단면의 불균일한 영향을 VOC 저방출테이프 사용으로 배제할 수 있었다.
