This paper presents chloride induced corrosion durability of reinforcing steel in geopolymer concretes containing different contents of sodium silicate ($Na_2SiO_3$) and molarities of NaOH solutions. Seven series of mixes are considered in this study. The first series is ordinary Portland cement (OPC) concrete and is considered as the control mix. The rest six series are geopolymer concretes containing 14 and 16 molar NaOH and $Na_2SiO_3$ to NaOH ratios of 2.5, 3.0 and 3.5. In each series three lollypop specimens of 100 mm in diameter and 200 mm in length, each having one 12 mm diameter steel bar are considered for chloride induced corrosion study. The specimens are subjected to cyclic wetting and drying regime for two months. In wet cycle the specimens are immersed in water containing 3.5% (by wt.) NaCl salt for 4 days, while in dry cycle the specimens are placed in open air for three days. The corrosion activity is monitored by measuring the copper/copper sulphate ($Cu/CuSO_4$) half-cell potential according to ASTM C-876. The chloride penetration depth and sorptivity of all seven concretes are also measured. Results show that the geopolymer concretes exhibited better corrosion resistance than OPC concrete. The higher the amount of $Na_2SiO_3$ and higher the concentration of NaOH solutions the better the corrosion resistance of geopolymer concrete is. Similar behaviour is also observed in sorptivity and chloride penetration depth measurements. Generally, the geopolymer concretes exhibited lower sorptivity and chloride penetration depth than that of OPC concrete. Correlation between the sorptivity and the chloride penetration of geopolymer concretes is established. Correlations are also established between 28 days compressive strength and sorptivity and between 28 days compressive strength and chloride penetration of geopolymer concretes.

Direct catalysis of vapors from vacuum pyrolysis of biomass was performed on MCM-41 to investigate the effects of operating parameters including catalyzing temperature, catalyzing bed height and system pressure on the organic yields. Optimization of organic phase yield was further conducted by employing response surface methodology. The statistical analysis showed that operating parameters have significant effects on the organic phase yield. The organic phase yield first increases and then decreases as catalyzing temperature and catalyzing bed height increase, and decreases as system pressure increases. The optimal conditions for the maximum organic phase yield were obtained at catalyzing temperature of $502.7^{\circ}C$, catalyzing bed height of 2.74 cm and system pressure of 6.83 kPa, the organic phase yield amounts to 15.84% which is quite close to the predicted value 16.19%. The H/C, O/C molar ratios (dry basis), density, pH value, kinematic viscosity and high heat value of the organic phase obtained at optimal conditions were 1.287, 0.174, $0.98g/cm^3$, 5.12, $5.87mm^2/s$ and 33.08 MJ/kg, respectively. Organic product compositions were examined using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry and the analysis showed that the content of oxygenated aromatics in organic phase had decreased and hydrocarbons had increased, and the hydrocarbons in organic phase were mainly aliphatic hydrocarbons. Besides, thermo-gravimetric analysis of the MCM-41 zeolite was conducted within air atmosphere and the results showed that when the catalyst continuously works over 100 min, the index of physicochemical properties of bio-oil decreases gradually from 1.15 to 0.45, suggesting that the refined bio-oil significantly deteriorates. Meanwhile, the coke deposition of catalyst increases from 4.97% to 14.81%, which suggests that the catalytic activity significantly decreases till the catalyst completely looses its activity.

조성이 다른 접착제를 포함한 고무혼합물의 가교특성은 접착제 조성에서 탄닌이 많이 포함될수록 스코치 시간은 증가하였으며 경화속도는 다소 감소하는 것으로 보아 탄닌 분자의 크기와 형태 때문에 초기 가교반응을 지연시킴과 동시에 경화속도 역시 다소 지연됨을 알 수 있었다. 이들 고무혼합물의 인장물성 역시 탄닌이 많이 함유된 접착제를 고무에 혼합할수록 고무혼합물의 인장강도는 다소 감소하였다. 이는 탄닌이 많이 함유될수록 가교반응을 지연시켜 전체 고무혼합물의 가교도가 감소하기 때문일 것으로 사료되었다. 또한 접착제의 조성이 고무-섬유 접착에 미치는 영향을 보강코드로서 나일론 610 모노필라멘트를 사용하여 TCAT(Tire Cord Adhesion Test) 방법으로 조사하였다. 레소시놀-탄닌-포름알데히드-라텍스(RTFL) 접착제 조성에서 레소시놀 1 mole당 포름알데히드의 mole 비가 증가할수록 접착력은 증가하였고 대략 포름알데히드 5mole 이상에서 최적의 접착력을 나타냈다. 보강코드상의 접착제 수확량(DPU) 역시 최종 접착력에 영향을 미치지만, 나일론 610 모노필라멘트의 경우는 접착제 조성에 따른 DPU가 거의 일정하여 접착력의 차이는 접착제의 조성 중 탄닌의 거동 때문으로 해석될 수 있었다.

Objective: To evaluate the short-term effect of fangchinoline, an anti-inflammatory drug widely used in Asia, on root resorption that is associated with orthodontic tooth movement. Methods: Twenty-four Wistar rats were randomly divided into 6 groups. Mesial forces of 0, 50, or 100 g were applied to the maxillary first molar of the rats in each group for 14 days by activating nickel-titanium closed-coil springs. One-half of the rats receiving each of these treatments also received injections of 200 ${\mu}L$ fangchinoline every 2 days. Finally, movement of the maxillary first molars was measured using digitized radiographs. The molars were extracted and the surfaces of the root resorption craters were recorded using a scanning electron microscope. The distance the molars moved and resorption-area ratio was measured, and results were analyzed using 2-way ANOVA tests. Results: There were no statistical differences in the distances the first molars moved under 50 or 100 g force, regardless of treatment with fangchinoline. However, the resorption area ratios were significantly smaller in those rats that were treated with both tension and fangchinoline than in those rats treated by tension alone. Conclusions: Fangchinoline reduced the resorption area ratio in rats and is therefore an important means of alleviating root resorption.

This study was conducted to evaluate sensory properties of sugar cookie containing sucralose. Relative sweetness of sucralose to sucrose in a cookie system was examined with paired comparison tests and the result was applied to low calorie cookie preparation using polydextrose as a bulking agent. Physical and sensory properties and consumer acceptability of sugar cookies containing various levels of sucralose and polydextrose were evaluated. Relative sweetness of sucralose to sucrose was 700 times in sugar cookie. Instrumental hardness and fracturability increased as the levels of replacement with sucralose increased. Spread ratios of sugar cookies where sucrose was partially and totally replaced with sucralose and corresponding amount of polydextrose were higher than that with sucrose only. Intensities of bitter taste, salty taste, hardness and molar packing of sugar cookies where sucrose was entirely replaced with sucralose and polydextrose were higher than that those of the other cookies. Acceptability test indicated 75% replacement with sucralose and adequate amount of polydextrose can be used without harming overall, appearance and flavor acceptability while texture acceptability was slightly lower.

본 연구에서는 스테아르산(SA), 올레산(OA), 리놀레산(LA) 등의 지방산이 지질 소포체 막과의 상호 작용에 미치는 영향에 관하여 살펴보았다. 이를 위하여 지방산 종류 및 농도 변화에 따른 리포좀 평균 입자 크기 및 제타 전위, 리포좀 막의 deformability, fluorescence anisotropy ratio 등을 측정하고 TEM 관찰을 통하여 지방산 첨가가 리포좀 막의 유동성 변화에 미치는 역할에 관하여 살펴보았다. 기본적으로 SA, OA, LA 등의 지방산 첨가는 동일한 경향을 나타내었다. 즉, 지방산을 첨가함에 따라 리포좀이 보다 치밀한 패킹을 갖게 되어서 리포좀의 크기는 감소하고 제타 전위 값은 증가하였으나, 지방산의 과도한 첨가는 리포좀에서 다형(polymorphic) 구조를 가지는 지질 입자 응집체로의 전이를 일으켰다. SA, OA 및 LA 지방산 시스템에서의 최소 리포좀 크기와 가장 치밀한 리포좀 패킹은 레시틴 대비 지방산의 몰 비율이 각각 0.70, 0.50, 0.25인 조건에서 관찰되었으며, 리포좀 막의 deformability와 fluorescence anisotropy ratio 측정에 의한 리포좀 막의 유동성 측정 결과는 TEM 및 입자 크기 측정 결과와 일치함을 알 수 있었다.

동복호의 식물플랑크톤 성장을 제한하는 영양염을 파악하기 위하여 기존자료 분석과 계절별 영양염 첨가 배양 실험을 실시하였다. 장기간 자료를 분석한 결과, TN과 TP는 강우와 유의한 상관성을 보였지만 DIN, DIP는 강우와 유의한 상관성을 나타내지 않았다. TN/TP와 DIN/DIP는 16 이상의 결과를 나타냄으로서 인산염에 의하여 식물플랑크톤의 성장이 잠재적으로 제한될 수 있음을 확인하였다. 영양염 첨가 배양 실험을 수행한 결과, 모든 계절에서 클로로필 a가 인산염 첨가군에 반응을 나타내었지만 암모니아, 질산, 규산염과 같은 영양염에 대해서는 크게 반응하지 않았다. 또한 크기에 따른(net and nano size) 식물플랑크톤의 반응 역시 인산염에서 반응을 나타냄으로서 인산염이 식물플랑크톤의 성장을 제한하는 영양염임을 검정하였다. 가을철 배양실험에서 배양 전과 배양 후 인산염 첨가군의 우점종 변화를 보면, 배양 전에는 일부 유글레나류가 우점을 나타내었지만, 배양 후 인산염 첨가군에서는 규조류의 우점을 나타내었다.

This study investigated the effect of organic matter on the precipitation of struvite and calcium phosphate for phosphorus recovery from synthetic dairy wastewater. Batch precipitation experiments were performed to precipitate phosphorus from solutions containing $PO_4{^{3-}}$ and $NH_4{^+}$ by the addition of $Mg^{2+}$ and $Ca^{2+}$, separately, at varying pH, Mg/P and Ca/P molar ratios, and organic matter concentrations. Soluble total organic solids exhibited more inhibition to precipitation due to potential interaction with other dissolved ionic species involved in phosphorus precipitation. Xylan with low total acidity only exhibited significant inhibition at very high concentrations in synthetic wastewater (at up to 100 g/L). No significant inhibition was observed for Mg and Ca precipitation at relatively lower concentrations (at up to 1.2 g/L). MINTEQ simulations show that dissolved organic matter (DOM) as humic substances (HS) can cause significant inhibition even at relatively low concentrations of 0.165 g/L fulvic acid. However, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis suggested that xylan altered the crystal structure of both precipitates and had caused the formation of smaller sized struvite crystals with slightly rougher surfaces This could be due to xylan molecules adhering on the surface of the crystal potentially blocking active sites and limit further crystal growth. Smaller particle sizes will have negative practical impact because of poorer settleability.

For the screening and the development of the new bio-material, cultural conditions for the exo-biopolymer (EBP) production throught the submerged cultivation of Ganoderma lucidum mycelium were investigated. Also, the fractionations and the purifications of the exo-biopolymer were carried out and the chemical compositions of the exo-biopolymer were examined. The optimal culture conditions for the exo-biopolymer production were pH 5.0, 30$^{\circ}C$ and 100 rpm of agitation speed in the medium containing of 5% (w/v) glucose, 0.5%(w/v) yeast extract, 0.1% (w/v) ($(NH_4)_2HPO_4$, and 0.05% (w/v) $KH_2PO_4$. In the flask cultivation for 7 days under these conditions, the concentration of the maximum exo-biopolymer and the cell mass were 15.4g/l and 18.8g/l, respectively. The specific growth rate was 0.039 $hr^{-1}$. In addition, the substrate consumption rate, and the exo-biopolymer production rate were 0.043$gg^{-1}$$hr^{-1}$ and 0.025$gg^{-1}$$hr^{-1}$, respectively. The exo-biopolymer was fractionated into BWS (water soluble exo-biopolymer) and BWI (water insoluble exo-biopolymer) by the water extraction, and the sugar contents of two fractions were higher than 97% (based on dry basis). The components sugar of BWS and BWI fractions were glucose, galactose, mannose, xylose, and fucose. Their molar ratios were 3.6:1.5:2.1:0.5: trace and 2.9:3.1:2.0:1.6:0.3, respectively.
