The maintenance cost for highway pavement is gradually increasing due to the continuous increase in road extension as well as increase in the number of old routes that have passed the public period. As a result, there is a need for a method of minimizing costs through preventative grievance Preventive maintenance requires the establishment of a strategic plan through accurate prediction old Highway pavement. herefore, in this study, the XGBoost among machine learning classification-based models was used to develop a highway pavement damage prediction model. First, we solved the imbalanced data issue through data sampling, then developed a predictive model using the XGBoost. This predictive model was evaluated through performance indicators such as accuracy and F1 score. As a result, the over-sampling method showed the best performance result. On the other hand, the main variables affecting road damage were calculated in the order of the number of years of service, ESAL, and the number of days below the minimum temperature -2 degrees Celsius. If the performance of the prediction model is improved through more data accumulation and detailed data pre-processing in the future, it is expected that more accurate prediction of maintenance-required sections will be possible. In addition, it is expected to be used as important basic information for estimating the highway pavement maintenance budget in the future.

In this work we deposited Pentacene thin film by OMBD at the various substrate temperatures, deposition rate and the various annealing temperatures for the fabrication of organic TFT and investigated the electrical and film surface characteristics such as sheet resistance, contact resistance and conductance Film thickness were measured by $\alpha$-step and the sheet resistance, contact resistance and conductance were extracted from the relation between the distance of the contacts and the resistance. During the film deposition the substrate temperature was held at 3$0^{\circ}C$, 4$0^{\circ}C$, 5$0^{\circ}C$, 6$0^{\circ}C$, 8$0^{\circ}C$ and 10$0^{\circ}C$, respectively. After the film deposition, Au contact was deposited by thermal evaporation. For the effect of annealing, the thin film was annealed in the nitrogen environment at 10$0^{\circ}C$ and 14$0^{\circ}C$ for 10 seconds, respectively. Film surface characteristics at the vatious substrate temperatures were measured by AFM. The crystallization of thin film was improved as the substrate temperatures were increased and the maximum gram size was 4${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The conductivity of thin film was found to be 7.40 $\times$10$^{-7}$ ~ 7.78$\times$10$^{-6}$ S/cm and the minimum contact resistance was 2.5324 ㏁.

The ionic association constant(K) of 2,4,6, N-tetramethyl pyridinium iodide (TeMPI) in 95 volume percentage ethanol-water mixture were determined by a modified UV and conductance method at $25^{\circ}C$ to $50^{\circ}C$ under 1 to 2,000 bars. The K values increase with increasing pressure and have maximum value at $40^{\circ}C$. The partial molar volume hange (${\Delta}V$) has relatively small negative value and the absolute values of ${\Delta}$ are minimum at $40^{\circ}C$. The ion size parameter(a) of TeMPI have maximum value at $40^{\circ}C$. {\Delta}H^{\circ}$ values are zero, positive and negative at 40^{\circ}C$, $25^{\circ}C$ and $50^{\circ}C$ respectively. Other thermodynamic parameters such as the changes of standard entropy ({\Delta}S^{\circ}$) and free energy {\Delta}G^{\circ}$ were evaluated. From these experimental results, we came to conclusion that TeMPI is stabilized by the elevation of pressure and that of temperature below $40^{\circ}C$ but weakly dimerized at $40^{\circ}C$ because of the intermolecular hydrophobic interaction of eight methyl groups of two molecules. And it thermally decomposed above $50^{\circ}C$.

Water and 75% ethanol extracts were prepared from defatted green tea seeds and evaluated for their anti-yeast activities. The antimicrobial activities of defatted green tea seed extracts (DGTSEs) were tested against food-spoilage bacteria, yeasts, and molds. DGTSEs exhibited antimicrobial activities with minimum inhibitory concentrations of $39{\sim}1,250{\mu}g/mL$ against three bacteria, two molds, and all tested yeast strains. Ethanol extract showed higher antimicrobial activity than water extract. The stability of anti-yeast activities of DGTSEs was examined under different conditions of temperature, pH, and NaCl concentrations. The anti-yeast activities of DGTSEs were stable at pH 3~9, 0~20% NaCl, and $100^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. However, anti-yeast activities of DGTSEs decreased upon heating at $70^{\circ}C$ for 24 h or $121^{\circ}C$ for 15 min. DGTSEs were applied to food models to determine their inhibitory effects on yeast film formation. Water and 75% ethanol extracts were effective in preventing yeast film formation at concentrations more than 156 and $39{\mu}g/mL$ in soy sauce, 156 and $78{\mu}g/mL$ in pickle sauce, and 78 and $39{\mu}g/mL$ in kimchi, respectively.

Recently, there have been many studies pertaining to reducing energy consumption on ships. As part of those studies, the energy consumption of ships can be reduced by understanding and controlling the varying loads, excluding fixed loads. In existing ships, engine room fans are usually operated based on the actual experience of the crew without any special guidelines. To realize energy reduction, we investigate the characteristics of engine-room fans, and we propose an energy-management system called the engine room fan control system (ERFCS) and the ERFCS algorithm. The ERFCS controls the fan speed depending on the temperature and pressure, where one to four fans are operated depending on changes in the load. In addition, the minimum rotation speed of the engine-room fan was limited to 50% to prevent the surging phenomenon, which is due to fan damage or low pressure resulting from mechanical friction or heating at low fan speeds. We develop a fan control system simulation model using LabVIEW that is based on the proposed algorithm and ISO 8861. Finally, we perform simulations to confirm that operation of the proposed fan control system is possible using only 46.4% of the power required by the existing method.

In order to increase the Korean wheat-cultivators' incomes as well as to promote their consumptions, the native wheat of 11 varities (Chokwangmil, Geurumil, Eunpamil, Tapdongmil, Woorimil, Olgeurumil, Alchanmil , Gobunmil, Geungangmil Seodunmil and Suwon 265) were investigated on dough properties to compared with those of two imported wheat varieties, DNS (Dark Northern Spring Wheat) and ASW (Austrlian Standard White). In dough stickiness, Chokwangmil was highest as 81.78, and the mean value of native wheat was 53.98 g. ASW and DNS showed the stickiness values of 58.7 g and 52.9 g, respectively. Tapdongmil was highest in the tensile tone of dough as 87.6 g. In the texture test, the highest elasticity, gumminess, firmness and chewiness were observed in Woorimil as values of 0.980, 1,022.8, 1,562.7 and 1,001.9, respectively, while the highest cohesiveness and adhesiveness were obtained from Suwon 265 and Geurumil, respectively, as 0.710 and -609.4. In amylogram properties, the initial gelatinization temperature was ranged from 65$^{\circ}C$ to 69$^{\circ}C$, and maximum, minimum and final viscosities were highest in Woorimil as 1,140, 1,100 and 1,730 BU, respectively. In farinogram, water absorption rate was highest in Suwon 265 as 65.1%, which required the longest dough arrival time of 3.5 min. Dough developing time, weakening and stability were longest in Gobunmil as 9.7. 32.1 and 29.9 min., respectively. The resistance of dough was highest in Olgeurumil as 110 BU.

This paper analyzed the characteristics of daily ozone variations over Kangreung and Wonju. It was found that the diurnal cycle of ozone over Wonju has a primary ozone peak in the afternoon and a minimum around sunrise, which is a typical diurnal ozone cycle observable in the urban area. However, the cycle over Kangreung shows a primary peak in the afternoon and secondary peak around 3 a.m. The amounts of ozone in the secondary peak is occasionally higher than that in the primary peak. This nocturnal ozone peak is frequently observed year-round, and the highest frequency and extent are observed in spring. The possible cause of this nocturnal ozone increase was investigated using meteorological parameters and the HYSPLIT trajectory model. It was found that the nocturnal ozone peak is highly correlated with strong wind speed, which has led to positive temperature anomaly. The trajectory model revealed that when the secondary peak occurred, the air was originated from the west and a sinking motion subsequently followed. These findings suggested that when the westerly wind is strongest in spring, the polluted airs from urban areas are transported to the upper boundary layer over Kangreung area. In the case of strong wind during the night, nocturnal ozone peaks were produced by active vertical mixing between lower boundary and upper boundary layers.

Forty-eight crossbred heifers ($378.1{\pm}18$ kg) were used in a 56-d feeding trial (four pens per treatment in a randomised complete block design) to evaluate the influence of ionophore supplementation on growth performance, dietary energetics and carcass characteristics in finishing cattle during a period of heat stress. Heifers were fed a diet based on steam-flaked corn (2.22 Mcal $NE_m/kg$) with and without an ionophore. Treatments were: i) control, no ionophore; ii) 30 mg/kg monensin sodium (RUM30); iii) 20 mg/kg lasalocid sodium (BOV20), and iv) 30 mg/kg lasalocid sodium (BOV30). Both dry matter intake (DMI) and climatic variables were measured daily and the temperature humidity index (THI) was estimated. The maximum THI during the study averaged 93, while the minimum was 70 (THI average = $79.2{\pm}2.3$). Compared to controls, monensin supplementation did not influence average daily gain, the estimated NE value of the diet, or observed-to-expected DMI, but tended (p = 0.07) to increase (4.8%) gain to feed. Compared to controls, the group fed BOV30 increased ($p{\leq}0.03$) daily gain (11.8%), gain to feed (8.3%), net energy of the diet (5%), and observed-to-expected DMI (5.2%). Daily weight gain was greater (7.6%, p = 0.05) for heifers fed BOV30 than for heifers fed MON30. Otherwise, differences between the two treatments in DMI, gain to feed, and dietary NE were not statistically significant (p>0.11). Plotting weekly intakes versus THI, observed intake of controls was greater (p<0.05) at THI values ${\leq}77$ than ionophore groups. When THI values were greater than 79, DMI of control and MON30 were not different (p = 0.42), although less than that of groups fed lasalocid (p = 0.04). Variation in energy intake was lower (p>0.05) in the ionophores group (CV = 1.7%) than in the control group (CV = 4.5%). Inclusion of ionophores in the diet resulted in relatively minor changes in carcass characteristics. It is concluded that ionophore supplementation did not exacerbate the decline of DM intake in heat-stressed cattle fed a high-energy finishing diet; on the contrary, it stabilised feed intake and favoured feed efficiency. Ionophore supplementation reduced estimated maintenance coefficients around 10% in finishing cattle during a period of heat stress. This effect was greatest for heifers supplemented with 30 mg lasalocid/kg of diet.

The concentration ranges forming surface excess of bovine serum albumin(BSA) and ovalbumin solutions were determined, and the factors affecting the foam separation of BSA were investigated. The surface tension of BSA solution decreased from 72 to 61 dynelcm, when the concentration changed from $5{\times}10^{-3}$ to $3{\times}10^{-2}%$, and the critical micelle concentration was appeared to be at 0.03% of BSA. At the isoelectric point (pH 4.9) of BSA, the foamate volume was maximum, but enrichment ratio was minimum, resulting in the maximum recovery rate. When the pH deviated from the isoelectric point, the foamate volume decreased and the enrichment ratio increased. The enrichment ratio increased, while the foamate volume decreased drastically as the temperature was elevated above $20^{\circ}C$, resulting in the decrease in recovery rate. As the gas flow rate increased, the enrichment ratio decreased and the foamate volume increased. When $(NH_4)_2SO_4$ was added, the enrichment ratio decreased, but the maximum foamate was obtained at ionic strength 7. The concentration to form the surface excess of ovlbumin, which has lower surface hydrophobicity than BSA, was 200 times higher than that of BSA. This fact indicates the possibility of selective foam separation by hydrophobicity difference of proteins.

A series of experiments was performed to develop an optimized analytical procedure for the analysis of explosives in soil by HPLC with soil samples collected at two live-fire military shooting ranges. The minimum amount of soil to be collected, Wmin, for the analysis of explosive compounds was 125g, based on the segregation and homogeneity constants that account for soil heterogeneity and non-homogeneous distribution of target explosive compounds. The optimization of extraction and HPLC analytical conditions were also studied based on analytes CV values. The most effective soil/ extractant ratio was estimated to be 10g-pretreated soil/20 mL acetonitrile as extractant. The optimized HPLC elution conditions for the separation of US EPA designated 14 explosive compounds, were column temperature 30${\circ}C$, eluents ratio of isopropanol: acetonitrile: water = 18 : 12: 70, and flow rate of 0.8 mUmin at 230 nm. However, UV wavelength 254 nm was better for the analysis of NB, 2,4-DNT, 2NT, 4NT, and 3NT.
