The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of total polymer concentration on the chemical structure, morphology of pores, porosity, swelling ratio, degradation of gelatin-poly (vinyl alcohol) (Gel-PVA) cryogel scaffolds. Porous cryogels were prepared with cryogelation technique by using glutaraldehyde as a crosslinker. Functional group composition of cryogels after crosslinking was investigated by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR). The morphology of cryogels was characterized via scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and porosity analysis. All of the cryogels had a porous structure with an average pore size between $45.58{\pm}14.28$ and $50.14{\pm}4.26{\mu}m$. The cryogels were biodegradable and started to degrade in 14 days. As the polymer concentration increased the swelling ratio, the porosity and the degradation rate decreased. Spongy and mechanically stable Gel-PVA cryogels, with tunable properties, can be potential candidates as scaffolds for tissue engineering applications.

The most common pipe wall thinning degradation mechanisms that can occur in the steam and feedwater systems are FAC (Flow Acceleration Corrosion), cavitation, flashing, and LDIE (Liquid Droplet Impingement Erosion). Among those degradation mechanisms, FAC has been investigated by many laboratories and industries. Cavitation and flashing are also protected on the piping design phase. LDIE has mainly investigated in aviation industry and turbine blade manufactures. On the other hand, LDIE has been little studied in NPP (Nuclear Power Plant) industry. This paper presents the development of prediction system for pipe wall thinning caused by LDIE in terms of erosion rate based on air-water ratio and material. Experiment is conducted in 3 cases of air-water ratio 0.79, 1.00, and 1.72 using the three types of the materials of A106B, SS400, and A6061. The main control parameter is the air-water ratio which is defined as the volumetric ratio of water to air (0.79, 1.00, 1.72). The experiments were performed for 15 days, and the surface morphology and hardness of the materials were examined for every 5 days. Since the spraying velocity (v) of liquid droplets and their contact area ($A_c$) on specimens are changed according to the air-water ratio, we analyzed the behavior of LDIE for the materials. Finally, the prediction equations(i.e. erosion rate) for LDIE of the materials were determined in the range of the air-water ratio from 0 to 2%.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the degradation of PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) contained in dyeing wastewater by a mixed culture of Microbacterium barkeri KCCM 10507 and Paenibacillus amylolyticus KCCM 10508. Firstly, synthetic wastewater which contained different initial concentrations of PVA varying from 50 to 3,500 mg/l were tested to obtain optimal PVA biodegradation activity of isolated strains, and the above two strains were found to degrade PVA up to 90%, when the initial concentration of PVA was 750 mg/l and below. Next, dyeing wastewater was tested by a nixed culture of the two isolated strains, and 42% and 55% of the initial concentrations of PVA and COD, respectively, was removed after five days. MLSS was gradually increased from an initial 1,400 to 2,500 mg/l, and the pH was also increased from 5.1 to 7.8. Sterilized dyeing wastewater was tested to find the effect of strains only on the biodegradation of PVA, and PVA degradation ratio and COD removal ratio were 50% and 72.8%, respectively. Thus, the results indicated that these two strains have good ability to degrade PVA and remove COD in dyeing wastewater, Finally, it is expected that if these two strains were used in the dyeing wastewater treatment, good efficiency for PVA degradation and COD removal could be achieved.

The effect of cryoprotectants (maltodextrin+glycerol) and cryoprotectants+antioxidant [ascorbic acid and/or butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT)] mixtures on the survival, electrolyte leakage, and lipid degradation of freeze-dried Weissella paramesenteroides LC11 during storage was investigated and compared with that of the control (cells without additives) over a 90-day storage period at 4 or $20^{\circ}C$ in glass tubes with water activity ($a_w$) of 0.23. The survival, electrolyte leakage, and lipid degradation were evaluated through colony counts, electrical conductivity, and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) content, respectively. The fatty acids composition was determined by gas chromatography, in both the total lipid extract and the polar lipid fraction, and compared with that of the control after the 90-day storage period. As the storage proceeded, increases in leakage value and TBARS content, as well as a decrease in viability, were observed. After 90 days of storage, the major fatty acids found in both the total lipid extract and the polar lipid fraction were palmitic (16:0), palmitoleic (16:1), stearic (18:0), oleic (18:1), linoleic (18:2), and linolenic (18:3) acids. The survival, leakage value, TBARS content and 18:2/16:0 or 18:3/16:0 ratio were the greatest for the protected strain held at $4^{\circ}C$. Cells with the cryoprotectants+BHT mixture showed the highest percentage of survival and 18:2/16:0 or 18:3/16:0 ratio in both lipid extracts, as well as the lowest leakage value and TBARS content after the 90-day storage period. Drying cells with the cryoprotectants+BHT mixture considerably slowed down polar lipid degradation and loss of membrane integrity, resulting in improved viability during storage.

축방향철근의 연결상세에 따라 7개 그룹 총 21개의 원형나선철근 기둥 시험체를 제작하여 준정적 실험을 수행하였다. 축방향철근 연결상세(단일철근, 겹침이음 및 기계적연결), 심부구속철근비, 축력비 등을 주요 실험변수로 채택하였으며 실험결과 축방향철근 연결상세에 따라 다른 파괴거동을 나타내었고, 내진성능에서도 차이를 나타내었다. 축방향철근이 겹침이음된 시험체의 실험결과, 모든 축방향철근이 겹침이음된 시험체는 내진성능이 상당히 저하되는 것으로 나타났으나, 축방향철근의 $50\%$가 겹침이음된 시험체의 경우 제한적이지만 한정적인 연성능력을 나타내었다. 또한, 축방향철근을 커플러를 사용하여 기계적으로 연결한 시험체는 축방향철근이 단일철근으로 구성된 시험체와 유사한 파괴거동 및 강도저감거동을 나타내었다.

Poly(ethylene terephthalate)(PET)의 올리고머인 oligo(ethylene terephthalate)(OET), oligo(ethylene succinate-co-terephthalate)(OEST) 및 oligo(butylene succinate-co-terephthalate)(OBST)를 각각 합성한 후, Pseudomonas cepacia 유래의 lipase PS를 사용하여, 올리고머의 분해실험을 실시, 분해시간에 의한 잔존중량 및 분해생성물의 분석에 의한 생분해기구를 해명함을 목적으로 하였다. OEST와 OBST의 합성에서는 배합 몰비에 대한 조성비의 조절이 가능한 올리고머를 얻을 수 있었으며, 조성비의 상이함에 의해 열적 성질이 현저한 차이가 있음을 확인하였다. 분해실험에서는 OEST, OBST 모두 lipase PS에 의해 분해가 발생되나, terephthalic acid의 조성이 높아질수록 분해능력이 저하됨을 확인하였고, lipase PS는 지방족에 가까운 조성을 가진 polyester를 쉽게 분해시킴을 확인하였다.

본 연구의 목적은 국내 하천을 대상으로 데이터 마이닝의 분류 및 예측 기법을 활용하여 비유사량 추정 모델을 개발하는 것이다. 이를 위해 유사이송에 영향을 미치는 요소들을 전반적으로 고려하여 유역인자를 추출하였으며, 유역의 지형학적 요소, 강우, 토지 피복, 토지 이용, 하상 재료 등이 고려되었다. 추출된 인자를 활용하여 모델을 도출한 결과 유역 형태학적 특성인자 중 평균 면적비에서 유역고도 및 토지피복인자 중 도시화 비율과 전체 유역 중 습지와 수역의 비율이 조건인자로 활용되었다. 도출된 모델은 실측값과의 비교를 통해 실측 비유사량의 발생 패턴이 유사하게 재현됨을 확인하였다. 또한 기존의 사용되던 산정 공식과 비교하였으며, 국외의 데이터를 기반으로 도출된 모델은 개발 배경 및 국내 하천 환경과의 차이로 인해 국내 하천 데이터 적용에 한계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이에 본 연구에서는 개발 및 적용 환경, 데이터 범위의 차이 등으로 인해 발생하던 기존 공식의 한계를 개선하고자 하였다.

Degradation due to delamination occurs frequently in the high temperature superconductors (HTS) coil of rotating machines made with 2nd generation (2G) HTS wire, and the authors have observed other similar cases. Since an HTS field coil for a rotating machine is required to have stable current control and maintain a steady state, co-winding techniques for insulation material and epoxy resin for shape retention and heat transfer improvement are applied during coil fabrication. However, the most important limiting factor of this technique is delamination, which is known to be caused by the difference in thermal expansion between the epoxy resin and 2G HTS wire. Therefore, in this study, the experimental results of mixing the ratio of epoxy resin and alumina ($Al_2O3$) filler were applied to the fabrication of small and large test coils to solve the problem of degradation. For the verification of this scheme, eight prototypes of single pancake coils with different shapes were fabricated. They showed good results. The energization and operation maintenance tests of the stacked coils were carried out under liquid neon conditions similar to the operation temperature of an MW-class rotating machine. In conclusion, it was confirmed that the alumina powder mixed with epoxy resin in an appropriate ratio is an effective solution of de-lamination problem of 2G HTS coil.
