`Frost heave' is volumetric extension behavior of soil due to freezing. It could have a bad effect to foundations of infrastructures like building, road, railroad and bridge. Therefore, it is considered as a primary design parameter with 'adfreeze bond' and 'creep deformation' for foundation design in cold region. In some countries, studies for analyzing frost heave in many ways have being performed, however, only a few studies for evaluating frost susceptibility of soils by measuring frost heave rate of frozen soils in Korea. For analyzing frost heave as a foundation design parameter, both frost heaving rate and heaving pressure are should be addressed in study. Hence, in this study, development of experimental apparatus to evaluate frost heave and pressure is suggested.

In this experiment, we determined the effect of curcumin supplementation in freezing buffer for miniature pig sperm cryopreservation. Each ejaculate was diluted with modified Modena B extender and mixed with lactose-egg yolk (LEY extender, 80% v/v lactose solution [310 mM], 20% v/v egg yolk, and $100{\mu}g/mL$ kanamycin sulfate) and LEY-glycerol Orvus ES Paste (LEYGO, 89.5% v/v LEY, 5% v/v glycerol, 1.5% v/v Orvus ES Paste), 100 mM trehalose supplemented with 0, 10, 50, 100, and $500{\mu}M$ of curcumin from turmeric, respectively. Following equilibration, the 0.5 mL French straws were frozen and plunged into $LN_2$ tank for 7 days at least. Sperm parameter and oxidative byproducts were determined by the computer assisted sperm motility analysis (CASA) and fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) as compared with each groups. Supplementation of curcumin had no effect on sperm motility, progressive motility and curvilinear velocity. However, average-path velocity and straight-line velocity were significantly higher in $10{\mu}M$ curcumin group ($100.9{\pm}8.8{\mu}m/s$, $61.7{\pm}2.9{\mu}m/s$, respectively) than control group ($77.8{\pm}3.9{\mu}m/s$, $46.4{\pm}3.0{\mu}m/s$, respectively) (p < 0.05). In addition, the level of the O2 radical and H2O2 were comparatively decreased in curcumin groups by evaluation of ethidium and DCF fluorescence. According to the results, curcumin can improve sperm kinetic variables and alleviate ROS induced cryoinjury to pig sperm.

In this study, the basic data which were required for development of LHSS(latent heat storage system) were experimentally obtained. Experiments were carried out under the following conditions. The initial temperatures of P.C.M. which were used by parameter is $5^{\circ}C,\;9^{\circ}C$ and $14^{\circ}C$. The conditions of working fluid are $-6^{\circ}C,\;-4^{\circ}C$, and $65{\ell}$/min.. The pure water of which the freezing point is $0^{\circ}C$ was filled in the system, and the Ethylene glycol(brine) was circulated through the 10 vertical tubes as a secondary fluid in order to cool the P.C.M. down. The inlet temperature of the secondary fluid and the initial temperature of the water were varied to investigate the effects of the important design parameters. The phenomenons of temperature conversion of P.C.M. were appeared for the conductive heat transfer and free convective heat transfer by buoyancy force in this storage unit system. In order to find the effective water circulation path, we obtained P.CM. temperature distributions of 5 parts in the storage tank during freezing process.

Objective : This study was conducted to examine the effect of vitrification on the survival and in vitro development of mice 1-cell zygotes. Method: Effects of exposure to vitrification solution and vitrification, with different concentrations of the cryoprotectant solution, were examined. The 1-cell zygotes were also subjected to a slow freezing-thawing method to compare with vitrification method. Solution composed of ethylene glycol (6.0 M, 5.0 M, 4.0 M) and sucrose (1.0 M) were used as cryopropectant. The experiments employed the method loading the embryos on electron microscope grids. Results: I. The effects of exposure in vitrification solution. 1-cell zygotes were non-toxic at all concentrations of the vitrification solution showing the survival rate between 88.1% and 97.5%. Development into 2-cell was more successful in the higher concentrations of the vitrification solution. Therefore, higher concentrations of the vitirification solution do not seem to cause any problems in vitrification procedure. II. The effects of vitrification method. 1-cell zygotes showed the survival rate between 78.8% and 92.4%. The lowest and the highest survival rate was observed in the 6.0 M and 4.0 M vitrification solution, respectively. 2-cell development rates varied from 77.6% to 91.3%. Blastocyst development rate was shown highest in 5.0 M and the lowest in 4.0 M solution. Therefore, the highest 2-cell and blastocyst development rate was observed in 5.0 M solution. III. Comparison of vitrification and slow freezing-thawing method on 1-cell zygotes. This experiment showed that 1-cell zygotes had the highest survival and development rates in 5.0 M vitrification solution. Vitrified group of 1-cell zygotes, in the 5.0 M vitrification solution, were compared with the group processed in slow freezing-thawing method. The development rate into 2-cell and blastocyst as well as the survival rate were higher in the vitrified group than in the slowly freezed group. Conclusion: 1. The results demonstrate that the best cryoprotectant is a 5.0 M vitrification solution for 1-cell zygotes. 2. Vitrification method significantly increases the survival rate of the 1-cell zygote and its development into 2-cell and blastocyst. Equilibration and exposure time during the vitrification was remarkerbly short in this experiment. Total time, from the exposure to vitirification solution to storage in the liquid nitrogen, was taken only 90 seconds. In contrast, the slow freezing-thawing method have taken more than four hours. Taken together, we presume that the overall time used for the procedure contributes to the results as an important parameter. 3. The loading of 1-cell zygotes on the EM grid is technically more simple and takes less time than the straw or cryo vial method.

동토지역 말뚝기초의 지지력은 말뚝과 토사의 접촉면에서 작용하는 동착강도에 지배된다. 말뚝주변 토사 내 간극수의 동결로 인해 발현되는 동착강도는 동토지반 기초설계에 있어 가장 주요한 설계정수로 고려되고 있다. 지난 50년간 동착강도에 대한 연구가 다각도로 수행되어 왔으나, 대부분 동결온도와 지중온도를 고정조건으로 그 영향력을 고려하지 않은 채 토사종류, 말뚝종류, 재하속도 등의 영향인자를 분석하기 위한 목적으로 수행되었다. 본 연구에서는 동결온도와 마찰면에 작용하는 수직구속응력을 주요 변수로 적용하고, 토사종류, 말뚝종류, 재하속도 등은 고정조건으로 적용하여 직접전단방식의 동착강도 측정실험을 수행하였다. 실험재료로는 표면 가공이 용이하여 거칠기를 정밀하게 조절할 수 있는 알루미늄 모형과 주문진표준사를 활용하였다. 실험은 상온(> $0^{\circ}C$), $-1^{\circ}C$, $-2^{\circ}C$, $-5^{\circ}C$, $-10^{\circ}C$의 동결온도및 1atm, 2atm, 3atm의 수직구속응력 조건에서 수행되었으며, 그 결과를 바탕으로 동결온도와 수직구속응력이 동착강도에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 전반적으로 동착강도는 동결온도가 낮아질수록, 혹은 수직구속응력이 커질수록 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 특히 단위온도차에 따른 동착강도의 증가율이 1)급증하는 구간과 2)점진적으로 감소하는 구간을 뚜렷하게 나타내며 변화하는 특성을 보였다. 또한, 동결온도의 저하에 따라 동착강도의 변화를 지배하는 요소가 마찰각에서 부착력으로 변화하며 수렴구간을 형성하는 경향을 나타냈다.

The problem of phase change from liquid to solid in the inviscid plane-stagnation flow is theoretically investigated. The solution at the initial stage of freezing is obtained by expanding it in powers of time, and the final equilibrium state is determined from the steady-state governing equations. The transient solution is dependent on the three dimensionless parameters, but the equilibrium state is determined by one parameter of (temperature ratio/conductivity ratio). The effect of the fluid flow on the growth rate of the solid in the pure conduction problem can be clearly seen from the solution of the initial stage and the final equilibrium state. The characteristics of the transient heat transfer at the surface of the solid and the liquid side of the solid-liquid interface for all the dimensionless parameters are elucidated.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between the occurrence of intermediate peak and time duration, and to conduct a review for the causes of the intermediate peak. In this test, ice impact tests were conducted using a bow side shell frame and ice specimen. A total of 70 samples were manufactured. Two types of ice specimen with relatively different surface conditions were used. The criterion for dividing the two types of ice specimen was the different exposure times to room temperature after freezing. This experiment was conducted for each parameter in order to reproduce the actual icebreaking situation. As a result of the analysis, the intermediate peak in the ice load signal have been found to be caused by mechanisms by which the inner surface of broken ice contact with hull immediately after the initial hitting point of ice has been broken.

동착강도는 동토지반 말뚝기초 설계시 지지력을 결정하는 주요 설계정수이다. 동착강도는 동결온도, 구속응력, 말뚝표면 특성, 토사종류 등 다양한 인자들에 의해 동시다발적인 영향을 받는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 하지만 동착강도에 대한 연구는 소수의 인자들만 반영할 수 있는 실험연구를 중심으로 수행되어온 경향이 있으며, 설계정수로서 동착강도를 산정하기 위한 방법들은 동결온도, 말뚝재료 등의 주요 인자들만을 고려할 수 있는 한계가 있어 왔다. 본 연구는 인공신경망 이론을 동착강도 산정에 활용함으로서 다양한 영향인자 조건에서 동착강도를 예측할 수 있는 방안을 모색하기 위한 목적으로 수행되었다. 인공신경망 학습을 위하여 총 5종류의 연구사례로부터 137개의 자료를 수집하였으며, 그 중 100개를 학습자료로, 37개를 실증자료로 구분하였다. 연구결과 단계적 인공신경망 학습을 통하여 동착강도 산정 시 다양한 영향인지를 다차원적으로 고려하여 예측하는 방법이 병행되어야 할 필요성을 확인하였으며, 5개 영향인자를 동시에 고려하여 동착강도를 예측할 수 있는 신뢰성 높은 학습결과를 도출 및 검증하였다. 또한, 매개변수 연구결과 동착강도는 동결온도와 말뚝재료의 변화에 가장 민감하게 반응하는 것으로 나타났고 수직응력에 의한 영향은 일부 온도구간에서만 뚜렷하게 나타나며 토사종류와 재하속도의 변화에 따라 동착강도가 증가하는 경향이 변화하는 특성을 나타내었다.

Recent semantic segmentation frameworks usually combine low-level and high-level context information to achieve improved performance. In addition, postlevel context information is also considered. In this study, we present a Context ReFinement Network (CRFNet) and its training method to improve the semantic predictions of segmentation models of the encoder-decoder structure. Our study is based on postprocessing, which directly considers the relationship between spatially neighboring pixels of a label map, such as Markov and conditional random fields. CRFNet comprises two modules: a refiner and a combiner that, respectively, refine the context information from the output features of the conventional semantic segmentation network model and combine the refined features with the intermediate features from the decoding process of the segmentation model to produce the final output. To train CRFNet to refine the semantic predictions more accurately, we proposed a sequential training scheme. Using various backbone networks (ENet, ERFNet, and HyperSeg), we extensively evaluated our model on three large-scale, real-world datasets to demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.
