Protein aggregation can cause diseases and hinder the production of useful recombinant proteins. The present study showed that at least three types of aggregates can be formed from tryptophan synthase ${\alpha}$-subunit (${\alpha}TS$) by varying conditions: (1) an opaque white precipitous aggregate, (2) a transparent gel-like precipitous aggregate, and (3) an unprecipitous aggregate. Macroscopically different aggregate types might suggest different mechanisms underlying aggregation processes.

Crushers are equipment that crush natural stones, to produce aggregates used at construction sites. As the crusher proceeds, the inner liner becomes worn, causing the size of the aggregate produced to gradually increase. The vision sensor-based aggregate analysis system analyzes the size and distribution of aggregates in production, in real time through image analysis. This study developed an algorithm that can segmentate aggregates in images in real time. using image preprocessing technology combining various filters and morphology techniques, and aggregate region characteristics such as convex hull and concave hull. We applied the developed algorithm to fine aggregate, intermediate aggregate, and thick aggregate images to verify their performance.

This study was undertaken to examine the feasibility of recycling waste concrete fine aggregate to prepare polymer-modified mortars. The specimens of polymer-modified mortars were prepared by using styrene-butadiene rubber(SBR) latex and polyacrylic ester(PAE) emulsion as a polymer modifier. The formulations for specimens were prepared with various replacing ratios of waste concrete fine aggregates as parts of standard sand and various polymer cement ratios. For the evaluation of the performance of polymer-modified mortars, various physical properties were investigated. As a results, water cement ratio of polymer-modified fresh mortars increased with an increase of recycled fine aggregate, but decreased with an increase of polymer modifiers. The compressive and flexural strengths of polymer-modified mortars decreased with an increase of recycled fine aggregate, but flexural strengths increased with an increase of polymer modifiers.

This study enforced to produce the planting concrete block which could be applied to various slopes economically. First of all, the physical properties was investigated with the various types of aggregate and aggregate ratio of the paste for the lead to mixture proportion of the planting concrete. As a result, the orchid stone as aggregate and 30% of aggregate ratio of the paste were used as the basic mixture proportion considering 20~30% of maintained void ratio for the growth of plant, over 20% of capillary suction for holding water, and 3MPa as the minimum strength. For the result of the test to the new planting block which was quite different from existing planting concrete block, it could complement the problems and be possible to produce effectively and economically because various slopes like 40ﾟ~75ﾟ, continual produce by extrusion, and pumping out were possible were possible.

The alkali-aggregate reaction is a reaction between the alkali metals in the pore water of a concrete and an unstable mineral of the aggregate. There are three types of alkali-aggregate reation which causes deterioration of concrete, such as alkali-silicate reation, alkali-carbonate reaction and alkali-silica reation. Deterioration due to alkali-silica reation is more comon than that due to either the alkali-silicate or alkali-carbonate reaction. The alkali-silica reation is a reaction between the hydroxyl ions in the pore water of a concrete and silica which exists in signigicant quantities in the aggregate. In this PAPER, Alkali-aggregate reactions of mortar made with various abroad aggregate were investigated using XRD, microscope, chemical and physical tests. In additions, the effects of the texture of aggregate, Na, K, CI ion concentrations added to the mortar, on these reactions were studied.

The increase of the use of recycled aggregate is necessary for the decrease of building waste, but it is not possible to use concrete because of the various range of quality. Therefore, the quality grade and application method of recycled aggregate should be prescribed before the site application so in that this study we investigated the effect of the quality of recycled aggregate on the compressive strength, resistance freezing and thawing. As results of this study, the compressive strength of recycled aggregate concrete used recycled aggregate, as if it had high quality recycled aggregate is similar or higher to that of crushed stone. Also, this high quality recycled aggregate affect the increase of resistance freezing and thawing.

The purpose of this study was to manufacture sintered lightweight aggregate using paper sludge ash and to evaluate the qualities of the aggregate according to various mix proportions, conditions of pelletization and sintering. The paper sludge ash alone, due to its mineral and chemical compositions could not gain suitable expansion and strength. Hence, it was essential to add mineral additives such as clay, fly ash etc. The optimum muting ratio range determined in this study is as follows , paper sludge ash 30∼50 %, clay 30∼50 %, fay ash 0∼40 %, Paper sludge 0∼10% and hematite 2∼3 %(for manufacturing lightweight aggregate both for non-structural and structural concrete). It was possible to manufacture various lightweight aggregate whose dry specific gravity ranged about from 0.6 to 1.4 by using this optimum mixing ratio. From the test results of the qualities of aggregate, it showed that the 10% granules crushing value test and water absorption percentage ranged about 5∼10 ton and 10∼20%. Thus, it was favorably comparable to those of the imported aggregate. The manufactured lightweight aggregate could be used for structural concrete and non-structural concrete.

Porous concrete is used of various parts by advantage of porous. Example of growing of plant is possible, and dwelling of creature, and filter functions of various contaminant, and decrease of noise, and so on. This research is for porous concretes that were used by four aggregate rubble, refreshing aggregate, expanded clay, orchid stone. This research estimate that physical and mechanical characteristics of fresh concrete and hardened concrete. The purpose of this research is to make environment-friendly porous concrete. This research's conclusion is as following : 1. Porous Concrete's slump was measured 12~14cm with rubble, 12~16cm with refreshing aggregate, 11~13cm with expanded clay, 11~13cm with orchid stone. Weight of aggregate was bigger, slump price appeared by bigger thing. Because placed Porous Concrete is low viscosity and small resistance between aggregate, it estimated that have high workability. 2. Porous Concrete's unit weight was measured 1.71~1.75t/$\textrm{m}^3$ with rubble, 1.58~1.62t/$\textrm{m}^3$ with refreshing aggregate, 1.19~1.20t/$\textrm{m}^3$ with expanded clay, 0.98~1.06t/$\textrm{m}^3$ with orchid stone. Showed aspect such as weight of aggregate. 3. Porous Concrete's compressive strength was measured 76~102kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ with rubble, 51~60kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ with refreshing aggregate, 30~40kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ with expanded clay, 13~16kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ with orchid stone. 4. Tendency of tensile strength and bending strength showed generally similarly with compressive strength, but showed low value fewer than 15kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ Therefore, wire mesh, reinforcing rod, such as establishment of frame is considered to need in reinforcement about tensility or flexures in case receive tensility or produce product of thin absence form. It concludes by speculating on the consequences of extrapolating the results of study to remodelling the office building being already existence.

This study investigated influence of kind of fine aggregate on fundamental properties of concrete. For the properties of fluidity with various type of fine aggregate, lime stone crushed fine aggregate(Ls) exhibited favorable result, due to grain shape and particle distribution, and next was granite crushed fine aggregate(Gs), natural fine aggregate(Ns). Ns had the highest value of air content while Ls had the lowest, due to the effective filling performance by continuos particle distribution. Ls, Ns, Gs in an order had higher bleeding capacity and faster setting time. However, compressive and tensile strength value exhibited similar tendency, regardless of aggregate type.
