Use of recycled aggregates that are constituents of concrete or asphalt-based structures has become popular because the recycling is an eco-friendly way to overcome the depletion of natural aggregates. In order to adopt the recycled aggregates for backfilling a power transmission pipeline trench, their thermal resistivity should be low enough to prevent thermal runaway in the transmission system. In this study, a series of laboratory tests with QTM-500 and KD2 Pro was performed to measure the thermal resistivity of recycled aggregates prepared from various sources. Relationships between the thermal resistivity of recycled aggregates and the water content have been obtained with consideration of compaction effort. Similar to natural soils, the thermal resistivity of the recycled aggregates decreases with increasing the water content. In addition, this study compared the experimental data with conventional prediction models for the thermal resistivity in the literature, which suggests the availability of the recycled aggregates as backfill material substituting for natural aggregates when backfilling the power transmission pipeline trench.

Facing decision-making tasks, managers frequently make judgments, However, since managers are human beings, the fficiency of their judgments is limited. Two major sources of inefficiency in their judgments have been recognized : one is systematic deviations from normatively preferred decisions, so called bias or incorrect intuition, and the other is inconsistency in their judgments, i. e. erratic decision making variance. Rather than bias, variance is really expensive or damaging. Thus, if the inconsistency inmanagers judgments is removed, performance could be by far improved by virtue of the reduced random variance. One of the approaches to improve managerial judgment is to simply bring managers together by effectively moderating the random variance due to inconsistency. Focusing on combining judgments, this paper addresses many relevant issues such as why combining and how to combine judgments, and suggests methods and models to effectively aggregate subjective judgments, We conduct an experiment to validata the effectiveness of combining jugements over individual judgments. Various combining schemes are also evaluated in terms of their prective accuracy. Among them, mean bias based wighting scheme turns out the best. However, when available information is not enough to estimate the expertise of judges, simple and robust equal weighting might be more efficient and productive. This urges an imperative future research on the issue of how many and which ones to combine from a large set of experts.

This study aims to empirically examine the effect of foreign direct investment (FDI) and corruption on the development of public-service sectors in 10 ASEAN countries. It then investigates whether this relationship is different between two FDI compositions including greenfield FDI and FDI in the form of cross-border merger and acquisitions (M&As). Using a panel database of 10 ASEAN countries during the period 1996-2015 from various sources including the World Development Indicators of the World Bank and UNCTAD, we first find that FDI strongly and positively contributes to the development of the public-service sectors in the recipient nations, except for the electricity sector. However, we show that this relationship is dependent on the type of FDI modes of entry. Specifically, while greenfield investment exerts a beneficial influence on the development of telecommunication and transportation sectors, cross-border M&A has no effect on these sectors, perhaps because of the distinct differences among three public service sectors. Finally, we found that in a highly corrupt environment, aggregate FDI might have no influence on all three public-service sectors, possibly because the two contradictory influences of the interaction terms between corruption and two FDI sub-types seem to cancel each other out.

Grid is a new Information Technology (IT) concept of "super Internet" for high-performance computing: worldwide collections of high-end resources - such as supercomputers, storage, advanced instruments and immerse environments. The Grid is expected to bring together geographically and organizationally dispersed computational resources, such as CPUs, storage systems, communication systems, real-time data sources and instruments, and human collaborators. The term "the Grid" was coined in the mid l990s to denote a proposed distributed computing infrastructure for advanced science and engineering. The term computational Grids refers to infrastructures aimed at allowing users to access and/or aggregate potentially large numbers of powerful and sophisticated resources. More formally, Grids are defined as infrastructure allowing flexible, secure, and coordinated resource sharing among dynamic collections of individuals, institutions and resources referred to as virtual Organizations. GRID is an emerging IT as a kind of next generation Internet technology which will fit very well with Agrometeorological services in the future. I believe that it would contribute to the resource sharing in AgroMeteorology by providing super computing power, virtual storage, and efficient data exchanges, especially for developing countries that are suffering from the lack of resources for their agmet services at national level. Thus, the establishment of CAgM-GRID based on existing RAMINSII is proposed as a part of FWIS of WMO.part of FWIS of WMO.

Self-consolidating concrete (SCC) in the fresh state is known for its excellent deformability, high resistance to segregation, and use, without applying vibration, in congested reinforced concrete structures characterized by difficult casting conditions. Such a concrete can be obtained by incorporating either mineral or chemical admixtures. This paper presents the results of an investigation to asses the applicability of Abram's law in predicting the compressive strength of SCC to any given age. Abram's law is based on the assumption that the strength of concrete with a specific type of aggregate at given age cured at a prescribed temperature depends primarily on the water-to-cement ratio (W/C). It is doubtful that such W/C law is applicable to concrete mixes with mineral or chemical admixtures as is the case for SCC where water to binder ratio (W/B) is used instead of W/C as the basis for mix design. Strength data of various types of SCC mixtures is collected from different sources to check the performance of Abram's law. An attempt has been made to generalize Abram's law by using various optimization methodologies on collected strength data of various SCC mixtures. A set of generalized equations is developed for the prediction of SCC strength at various ages. The performance of generalized equations is found better than original Abram's equations.

This paper reports an experimental investigation conducted to evaluate the durability performance of concrete mixtures prepared utilizing blends of Type I Portland cement (OPC) and natural pozzolans (NPs) obtained from three different sources in Saudi Arabia. The control concrete mixture containing OPC alone as the binder and three concrete mixtures incorporating NPs were prepared keeping water/binder ratio of 0.4 (by weight), binder content of $370kg/m^3$, and fine/total aggregate ratio of 0.38 (by weight) invariant. The compressive strength and durability properties that included depth of water penetration, depth of carbonation, chloride diffusion coefficient, and resistance to reinforcement corrosion and sulfate attack were determined. Results of this study indicate that at all ages, the compressive strength of NP-admixed concrete mixtures was slightly less than that of the concrete containing OPC alone. However, the concrete mixtures containing NP exhibited lower depth of water penetration and chloride diffusion coefficient and more resistance to reinforcement corrosion and sulfate attack as compared to OPC. NP-admixed concrete showed relatively more depth of carbonation than OPC when subjected to accelerated carbonation. The results of this investigation indicates the viability of utilizing of Saudi natural pozzolans for improving the durability characteristics of concrete subjected to chloride and sulfate exposures.

The high cost of Si-based solar cells remains a substantial challenge to their widespread adoption. To address this issue, it is essential to reduce the production cost of solar-grade Si, which is used as raw material. One approach to achieve this is Si electrodeposition in molten salts containing Si sources, such as SiO₂. In this study, we present the pulse electrodeposition of Si in molten CaCl₂ containing SiO₂ nanoparticles. Theoretically, SiO₂ nanoparticles with a diameter of less than 20 nm in molten CaCl₂ at 850℃ have a comparable diffusion coefficient with that of ions in aqueous solutions at room temperature. However, we observed a slower-than-expected diffusion of the SiO₂ nanoparticles, probably because of their tendency to aggregate in the molten CaCl₂. This led to the formation of a non-uniform Si film with low current efficiency during direct current electrodeposition. We overcome this issue using pulse electrodeposition, which enabled the facile supplementation of SiO₂ nanoparticles to the substrate. This approach produced a uniform and thick electrodeposited Si film. Our results demonstrate an efficient method for Si electrodeposition in molten CaCl₂ containing SiO₂ nanoparticles, which can contribute to a reduction in production cost of solar-grade Si.

최근 건설현장에서 다양한 잔골재가 콘크리트에 사용되고 있으나, 이런 잔골재가 콘크리트에 미치는 영향에 대해 체계적으로 검토한 연구는 거의 없다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 최근 국내 건설현장에서 비교적 많이 사용되고 있는 잔골재 종류가 콘크리트의 품질에 미치는 영향을 검토할 목적으로 잔골재 종류가 콘크리트의 건조수축, 내구성, 수밀성에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 부순모래를 사용한 콘크리트는 바닷모래 및 강모래와 같은 천연모래를 사용한 콘크리트에 비해 건조수축이 증가되고, 내구성과 수밀성이 저하되며, 특히 입도 입형이 불량한 부순모래를 사용한 경우에는 더욱 콘크리트의 품질을 저하시키는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 입도 입형이 불량한 부순모래를 천연모래와 혼합하여 입도와 입형을 적절히 조절함으로써 콘크리트의 건조수축이 저감되고, 내구성과 수밀성이 향상되는 것으로 나타났다.

최근 하천골재의 부존량 감소와 건설수요의 증가로 양질의 모래가 고갈되었고, 바닷모래와 같이 자연상태에서 얻을 수 있는 골재도 그 품질이 저급화되면서 골재의 품질에 대한 관심을 갖게 되었다. 따라서 잔골재를 바닷모래에만 지나치게 의존하고 있는 공급원의 편중을 다양화할 필요가 있으며, 바닷모래를 대체할 수 있는 골재원을 하루빨리 발굴할 필요가 있다. 한편 국내 건설현장에는 다양한 잔골재가 콘크리트에 사용되고 있으나, 이런 잔골재가 콘크리트에 미치는 영향에 대해 체계적으로 검토한 연구가 거의 없다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 최근 국내 건설현장에서 비교적 많이 사용되고 있는 잔골재가 콘크리트의 품질에 미치는 영향을 검토할 목적으로 잔골재 종류가 굳지 않은 콘크리트의 물성 및 경화된 콘크리트의 강도에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 부순모래는 바닷모래 및 강모래와 같은 천연골재에 비해 콘크리트의 유동성과 공기 연행성을 저하시키거나 블리딩을 증가시키고, 특히 입도 입형이 불량한 부순모래를 사용한 경우에는 더욱 콘크리트의 물성이 저하되는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 W/C 55%, 45%에서 잔골재 종류가 강도에 미치는 영향은 거의 없으나, W/C 35%에서 부순모래는 천연골재에 비해 강도를 저하시키는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 입도 입형이 불량한 부순모래를 천연골재와 혼합하여 사용하는 경우에는 굳지 않은 콘크리트의 특성을 향상시키며, 강도에도 나쁜 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 분석되었다.

본 논문은 로그 평균을 가중치로 이용한 디비지아 기법(LMWDM)을 이용하여 한국과 미국 그리고 영국의 제조업 분야에 있어서 $CO_2$ 배출량의 변동에 대한 요인분해를 하고 이 결과를 분석하여 그 정책적 의미를 제시하고자 하였다. 이들 국가의 제조업에서 배출하는 $CO_2$량의 변화를 생산량의 변화, 구조적 변화, 그리고 기술적 변화라는 요인들로 분해하여 각각의 값을 비교하고 분석한 내용을 기록하였다. 분석결과는 크게 세 가지로 나누어 볼 수 있는데, 그 첫 번째는 한국제조업의 총 $CO_2$ 배출량은 대상기간 동안에 꾸준히 증가해 오고 있는 반면에 미국이나 영국의 제조업분야에서의 $CO_2$ 배출량은 감소해 오거나 적정한 배출량 관리를 유지해 오고 있다는 것이다. 두 번째로는, 비교 대상국인 미국이나 영국에 비해 한국의 제조업에서의 $CO_2$ 배출량 감소에 대한 기술적 요인의 기여도가 상대적으로 너무 작다는 것이다. 더욱이 미극이나 영국에서는 기술적 요인이 주효하여 $CO_2$ 배출량을 줄이는 데에 크게 기여하였지만, 한국상황은 기술적 요인이 $CO_2$ 배출량을 저감하는 요인이 적었을 뿐 아니라 근년에는 오히려 배출량을 증가시키는 요인으로 작용하기도 하였다. 마지막으로는 앞의 두 가지 해석에 바탕을 두고 있는 것으로, 분석 대상 기간 동안의 한국의 $CO_2$ 배출량의 증가는 $CO_2$ 배출의 저감을 위한 기술진보가 미미하였기 때문이거나 제조업의 각 업종내의 세분류별 구조의 변동이 $CO_2$ 배출량을 증가시키는 방향으로 전환이 상당히 일어났기 때문으로 보인다. 이에 대한 정책적 제안은 명백하다. 우리나라에서 $CO_2$ 발생량을 저감하기 위한 노력이 전 산업에 걸쳐 이루어져야 할 것이고, 특히 저감기술 발전을 위한 투자와 에너지 저소비 산업으로의 구조변동을 유도하는 정책이 필요하다고 하겠다.
