Slipforming is a construction method in which the forms move continuously during concrete placement. This paper presents a numerical procedure based on the finite element method to simulate the thermal behavior of concrete during slipforming operations. The validity of the model was successfully tested by simulating a very complex but well documented field case of actual slipforming operations performed during the construction of an offshore concrete oil platform structure. The results obtained have been related to the shape of the concrete "hardened front" in the forms, which allows quick evaluation of the operation. The results of the numerical investigation have shown that the shape of the "hardened front" can be affected by the temperature of the fresh concrete and ambient conditions. For a given initial concrete temperature, there are limitations for the ambient temperature that, when exceeded, can create an unfavorable shape of the concrete "hardened front" in the forms. Similarly, for a given ambient temperature, the initial concrete temperature should not be fall below an established limit in order to avoid unfavorable shape of the "hardened front".

We investigated the developmental characteristics and life cycle of the lawn cutworm, Spodoptera depravata (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), which is one of the most important pests causing economic damage in grass production. For larval culture, we provided the zoysiagrass at $25^{\circ}C$ and $60{\pm}5%$ humidity. The durations of the developmental stages were as follows: $4.11{\pm}0.19$ days for eggs, $25.17{\pm}3.02$ for larvae, $8.80{\pm}0.28$ for pupae, and $7.57{\pm}0.95$ for adults. We grew the larvae to the 7th instar stage, unlike previous studies, in which it was assumed that the 6th instar was the final age. There was a significant positive correlation between the body length and head capsule width of each instar larvae. In terms of morphology, the eggs changed from light green immediately following oviposition to black as they developed, and the grass-fed larvae changed from light yellow immediately after hatching to green as development continued. We observed a pattern of black spots at regular intervals on the dorsal sides of the abdomens of the final instar larvae. Furthermore, we detected two notable designs on the dorsal side of the front of the head. The pupal colors changed from light brown and green immediately after pupation, to dark brown as the pupal cuticle hardened. The wingspans of the adults were similar in both sexes. However, the forewings of the males had obvious outer lines and eyespots with dark gray-brown backgrounds, whereas the corresponding features on the female forewings were less obvious. The oviposition preperiod was 2.11 days, the oviposition period was 4.2 days, the average fecundity per female was approximately 341 eggs, and the hatching rate was approximately 76.1%.

국내 태양우주환경 분야에서 널리 이용되는 자료와 모델의 이해와 활용도를 높이고, 세부 분야 간 공동연구의 기회의 장을 마련하고자, 최근 한국우주과학회 태양우주환경분과에서 국내 연구소와 대학을 중심으로 사용되는 태양우주환경 자료와 모델의 보유 및 활용에 대한 조사를 실시했다. 조사 결과를 크게 태양 및 행성간 공간, 자기권, 전리권의 세 분야로 나눠 정리하였고, 본 논문에서는 자기권 분야의 관련 자료와 모델을 소개한다. 자기권 연구의 특성 상 우주공간에서 지점관측을 위한 위성 개발과 운용에 투자가 많이 필요하여 국내 보유 자료는 다른 분야에 비해 상대적으로 적은 편으로 조사됐지만, 국내 지자기관측소를 통한 자기장 변화를 실시간으로 제공하고 있으며, 자기권 모델을 통해 꾸준한 연구를 수행 중이다. 본 논문에서는 자기권 분야 중 국내 위성자료를 이용한 연구들과 제 1원리 물리법칙에 바탕이 된 모델을 대표로 소개한다. 이번 조사 결과와 이를 정리한 논문이 우주과학 관련 자료에 대한 장기적이고 연속적인 관리에 대한 중요성을 인식하며, 우주과학 연구에 참여하는 다양한 인력들이 참조하여 국내에서 생산되고 있는 자료를 활용하여 국내 우주과학 자료의 위상을 높이는데 기여하기를 희망한다. 자료에 대한 조사 내용은 한국우주과학회 홈페이지에서 다운로드할 수 있다(http://ksss.or.kr/).
