최근 소비자들의 소비 형태가 온라인 쇼핑 및 간편식, 배달 음식 등 비대면 소비를 위한 서비스 시장이 크게 확대됨에 따라 플라스틱 일회용 제품의 소비가 급증하게 되면서, 사용한 플라스틱 폐기물에 의한 여러 환경오염 문제들이 발생하고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 국제적으로 플라스틱 사용을 줄이고, 환경친화성 및 재활용성이 높은 지속 가능 물질로 대체하려는 움직임을 보이고 있다. 본 연구에서는 재활용성이 높은 종이에 다양한 종류의 배리어 코팅을 적용한 종이 시료의 물성과 배리어 특성 및 재활용성 등을 평가하여 실제로 식품용으로 사용되는 종이의 코팅층 종류와 이에 따른 물성 및 배리어성 개선 효과 및 재활용성에 미치는 영향을 확인하고자 하였다. 배리어 코팅종류는 PE와 PP, 개질 아크릴 코팅이 된 종이 시료를 사용하였으며, 코팅 처리하지 않은 종이를 대조군으로 하여 평가를 진행하였다. 형태학적 분석을 통해 PE의 코팅층은 약 30 ㎛, PP는 약 20 , 개질 아크릴은 10 ㎛의 코팅층 두께를 보여주었으며, 섬유조직 형태를 보여주던 대조군의 표면과 달리 배리어 코팅 종이는 코팅층으로 인하여 매끈한 표면 형태를 보여주었다. 기계적 물성 평가에서는 PE 코팅 종이와 개질 아크릴 코팅 종이에서 대조군이 비해 인장강도와 파열강도에서 개선되는 결과를 보여주었으며, PP 코팅 종이에서는 파열강도 외에 대조군과 유의적 차이를 보여주지 않았다. 공기 투기도 평가로 배리어 코팅층이 없는 대조군에서 약 2.24 ㎛/Pa·s로 가장 높은 투기도 값을 보여주었으며, 배리어 코팅 종이의 경우 모두 0.003 ㎛/Pa·s 이하의 상대적으로 낮은 투기도 값을 보여주었다. 또한 Cobb 사이즈도 대조군에서 약 43.77 g/m²로 가장 높은 흡수 특성을 보였으며, 배리어 코팅 종이 시료에서는 2.80 g/m² 이하의 흡수 특성을 보여주었다. 이는 이미 내수성 및 기체 차단 특성을 가진 고분자의 특성으로 종이의 차단 특성도 개선된 것으로 판단된다. 내유성 평가에서도 PE 코팅 종이와 PP 코팅 종이에서 최고 측정값인 12 등급으로 내유성이 높은 특징을 보여주었으며, 개질 아크릴 코팅 종이는 5 등급으로 PE, PP 코팅 종이 보다 상대적으로 낮은 내유성을 보여주긴 하였으며, 대조군은 0 등급으로 내유성이 없는 모습을 보여주었다. 코팅 처리별 종이의 재활용성 평가에서 대조군의 리젝트율은 5.25%로 모든 시료 중 미해리분이 가장 낮은 모습을 보여주었으며, PE 코팅 종이와 PP 코팅종이는 각각 19.04%, 16.57%로 리젝트율이 증가함을 나타냈다. 상대적으로 높은 리젝트율 값은 PE 코팅 종이와 PP 코팅 종이는 해리 시 코팅 층이 작은 크기로 조각나 미분화되어 슬릿에 걸러지는 것으로 확인하였으며, 이는 미해리분으로 인해 재활용에 어려움이 발생할 것으로 판단된다. 개질 아크릴 코팅 종이의 리젝트율은 6.25%로 대조군과 유사하게 미해리분 없이 스크린을 거의 통과되는 현상을 보여주었다. 이 결과는 개질 아크릴 수지의 수해리성이 높아 발생한 것으로 판단된다. PE 및 PP 코팅 종이에 비교하여 개질 아크릴 코팅 종이가 재활용성 평가에서 더 효율적인 결과를 가짐을 나타내며, 추가 해리되어 스크린 업셉트된 펄프 슬러리를 사용하여 제조한 재활용지에 대한 종이의 품질 변화는 향후 보강 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Threshing operation may be one of the most important processes in the paddy post-production system as far as the grain loss and labor requirement are concerned . head-feeding type threshers commercially available now in Korea originally were developed for threshing dry paddy in the range of 15 to 17 % in wet basis. However, threshing wet-paddy with the grain moisture content above 20 % has been strongly recommended, especially for new high-yielding Indica -type varieties ; (1) to reduce high grain loss incurred due to the handling operations, and (2) to prevent the quantitative and qualitative loss of milled -rice when unthreshed grains are rewetted due to the rainfall. The objective of this study were to investigate the adaptability of both a head-feeding type thresher and a throw-in type thresher to wet-paddy , and to find out the possiblilities of improving the components of these threshers threshing. Four varieties, Suweon 264 and Milyang 24 as Tongil sister line varieties, minehikari and Jinhueng as Japonica-type varieties, were used at the different levels of the moisture content of grains. Both the feed rate and the cylinder speed were varied for each material and each machine. The thresher output quality , composition of tailing return, and separating loss were analyzed from the sampels taken at each treatment. A separate experiment for measurement opf the power requirement of the head-feeding type thresher was also performed. The results are summarized as follows : 1. There was a difference in the thresher output quality between rice varieties. In case of wet-paddy threshing at 550 rpm , grains with branchlet and torn heads for the Suweon 264 were 12 % and 7 % of the total output in weight, respectively, and for the Minehikari 4.5 % and 2 % respectively. In case of dry paddy threshing , those for the Suweon 264 were 8 % and 5% , and for the Minehikari 4% and 1% respectively. However, those for the Milyang 23 , which is highly susceptable to shattering, were much lower with 1 % and 0.5% respectively, regardless of the moisture content of the paddy. Therefore, it is desirable to breed rice varieties of the same physical properties as well as to improve a thresher adaptable to all the varieties. Torn heads, which increased with the moisture content of rall the varieties except the Milyang 23 , decreased as the cylinder speed increased, but grains with branchlet didnt decrease. The damaged kernels increased with the cylinder speed. 3. The thresher output quality was not affected much by the feed rate. But grains with branchlet and torn heads increased slightly with the feed rate for the head-feeding type thresher since higher resistance lowered at the cylinder speed. 4. In order to reduce grains with branchlet and torn heads in wet-paddy threshing , it is desirable to improve the head-feeding type thresher by developing a new type of cylinder which to not give excess impact on kernels or a concave which has differenct sizes of holes at different locations along the cylinder. 5. For the head-feeding type thresher, there was a difference in separating loss between the varieties. At the cylinder speed of 600 rpm the separating losses for the Minehikari and the Suweon 264 were 1.2% and 0.6% respectively. The separating loss of the head-feeding type thresher was not affected by the moisture content of paddy while that of the Mini-aged thresher increased with the moisture content. 6. From the analysis of the tailings return , to appeared that the tailings return mechanism didn't function properly because lots of single grains and rubbishes were unnecessarily returned. 7. Adding a vibrating sieve to the head-feeding type thresher could increase the efficiency of separation. Consequently , the tailing return mechanism would function properly since unnecessary return could be educed greatly. 8. The power required for the head-feeding type thresher was not affected by the moisture content of paddy, but the average power increased linearly with the feed rate. The power also increased with the cylinder speed.

Botrytis 선택배지(BSM)를 이용하여 토마토 포장에서 꽃잎의 감염시기를 착과 직후, 착과 25일 후, 착과 45일 후로 나누어 조사하였던 바 착과 직후의 꽃잎에서는 65%의 감염률을 보였으나 착과 25일 후의 꽃잎에서는 87%, 45일 후의 꽃잎에서는 100%의 감염률을 보였다. 착과 후 시간이 지날수록 잿빛곰팡이병균의 꽃잎 감염율은 증가하였다. 한편, 토마토 품종별 꽃잎의 감염시기를 개화 전, 개화 후, 착과 후로 구분하여 조사하였던 바 전체적으로 개화 전에 비하여 개화 후 시간이 지날수록 감염율이 급격히 증가하였으며, 일반토마토 3품종의 감염율이 방울토마토에 비하여 현저히 높았다. 즉 일반토마토의 착과 후 꽃잎 감염율이 70~80%인데 비하여 방울토마토의 꽃잎 감염율은 20~45%였다. 일반토마토 및 방울토마토 포장에서 잿빛곰팡이병균의 포자 비산량을 BSTM을 이용하여 조사한 결과 토마토 생육기간이 길어질수록 비산 포자량은 증가하였으며 특히 일반 토마토품종에서 잿빛곰팡이병의 발생 이후에 급격하게 증가하였다. 그러나 포장 내의 병원균 포자비산량의 증가에도 불구하고 방울토마토는 잿빛곰팡이병의 발병이 매우 적었다. BSM 및 BSTM을 이용한 잿빛곰팡이병 약제저항성균 간이검정법의 포장 적용시험을 통하여 바 이들의 활용가능성을 확인하였으며, 부여 및 익산지역 12농가에서 8개 약제를 공시하여 실증시험을 실시하였던 바 fluazinam 및 diethofencarb+carbendazim 혼합제가 주로 방제에 적합한 약제로 판정되었다. BSM을 이용한 kit는 잿빛곰팡이병이 발생하기 이전에 조기에 약제 저항성 병원균 판별이 가능하나 8개의 약제배지에 접종할 경우 2시간 정도의 시간이 필요하다. BSTM을 활용한 kit는 배지를 설치 후 24시간이 지난 후 수거하기 때문에 사용은 간편하나 잿빛곰팡이병이 발생하기 이전에 설치하면 낙하 포자량이 적어 약제저항성균 판별에 어려움이 있을 것이라 생각된다.

In this study, body weight levels of glucose, insulin and triglyceride in blood and glucosidase activity of the small intestine were investigated to determine the effect of Sangbaegpitang and Supungsungiwhan on the glucose metabolism of db/db mice. The GLUT4 mRNA of muscle tissue and the Acetyl CoA Carboxylase and the activation rate of GLUT2 mRNA of liver tissue were measured by the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction method and by the vitro transcription. The results were obtained as follows: 1. In the Sangbaegpitang administration group, (1) The level of triglyceride was decreased significantly and the glucosidase activity of the small intestine was inhibited remarkably, (2) The amounts of the GLUT4 mRNA in muscle tissue and Acetyl CoA Carboxylase mRNA in liver tissue were increased significantly. (3) Though glucose level in both fasting and non-fasting, were decreased and the insulin level in blood was increased, the results showed no statistical significance. 2. In the Supungsungiwhan administration group, (1) The levels of glucose and triglyceride were decreased significantly in the blood of non-fasting animals. (2) The glucosidase activity of small intestine was inhibited markedly and the amounts of GLUT4 mRNA of muscle tissue and GLUT2 mRNA of liver tissue were increased significantly. (3) The glucose levels in the fasting group were reduced, while insulin level was increased but showed no statistical significance, Based on the above results, our conclusions are as follows: Sangbaegpitang & Supungsungiwhan are thought to be capable of inhibiting the activity glucosidase, the enzyme which influences carbohydrate metabolism in the small intestine of db/db mice(the experimental diabetic model) and delaying the absorption of carbohydrate, thus proving effective on inhibiting the increase of non-fasting glucose level effectively. Futhermore Sangbaegpitang and Supungsungiwhan are though: to be capable of preventing the composition of free fatty acids by restoring the production of GLUT4 mRNA of muscle tissues and GLUT2 mRNA of liver tissues. Those results suggests that above prescriptions can be applied to non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus in order to improve insulin resistance.

Developments in the understanding of fire behaviour for large open-plan spaces typical of tall buildings have been greatly outpaced by the rate at which these buildings are being constructed and their characteristics changed. Numerous high-profile fire-induced failures have highlighted the inadequacy of existing tools and standards for fire engineering when applied to highly-optimised modern tall buildings. With the continued increase in height and complexity of tall buildings, the risk to the occupants from fire-induced structural collapse increases, thus understanding the performance of complex structural systems under fire exposure is imperative. Therefore, an accurate representation of the design fire for open-plan compartments is required for the purposes of design. This will allow for knowledge-driven, quantifiable factors of safety to be used in the design of highly optimised modern tall buildings. In this paper, we review the state-of-the-art experimental research on large open-plan compartment fires from the past three decades. We have assimilated results collected from 37 large-scale compartment fire experiments of the open-plan type conducted from 1993 to 2019, covering a range of compartment and fuel characteristics. Spatial and temporal distributions of the heat fluxes imposed on compartment ceilings are estimated from the data. The complexity of the compartment fire dynamics is highlighted by the large differences in the data collected, which currently complicates the development of engineering tools based on physical models. Despite the large variability, this analysis shows that the orders of magnitude of the thermal exposure are defined by the ratio of flame spread and burnout front velocities (V_S / V_BO), which enables the grouping of open-plan compartment fires into three distinct modes of fire spread. Each mode is found to exhibit a characteristic order of magnitude and temporal distribution of thermal exposure. The results show that the magnitude of the thermal exposure for each mode are not consistent with existing performance-based design models, nevertheless, our analysis offers a new pathway for defining thermal exposure from realistic fire scenarios in large open-plan compartments.

A leaching kinetics was conducted for the purpose of recovery of praseodymium in sulfuric acid ($H_2SO_4$) from REE slag concentrated by the smelting reduction process in an arc furnace as a reactant. The concentration of $H_2SO_4$ was fixed at an excess ratio under the condition of slurry density of 1.500 g slag/L, 0.3 mol $H_2SO_4$, and the effect of temperatures was investigated under the condition of 30 to $80^{\circ}C$. As a result, praseodymium oxide ($Pr_6O_{11}$) existing in the slag was completely converted into praseodymium sulfate ($Pr_2(SO_4)_3{\cdot}8H_2O$) after the leaching of 5 h. On the basis of the shrinking core model with a shape of sphere, the first leaching reaction was determined by chemical reaction mechanism. Generally, the solubility of pure REEs decreases with the increase of leaching temperatures in sulfuric acid, but REE slag was oppositely increased with increasing temperatures. It occurs because the ash layer included in the slag is affected as a resistance against the leaching. By using the Arrhenius expression, the apparent activation energy of the first chemical reaction was determined to be $9.195kJmol^{-1}$. In the second stage, the leaching rate is determined by the ash layer diffusion mechanism. The apparent activation energy of the second ash layer diffusion was determined to be $19.106kJmol^{-1}$. These relative low activation energy values were obtained by the existence of unreacted ash layer in the REE slag.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Recent studies have reported an association of the angiotensin II type 2 receptor (AT2R) 3123Cytosine/Adenine (3123C/A) polymorphism with essential hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. The purpose of the study was to investigate whether the AT2R 3123C/A polymorphism affects blood pressure for free-living hypertensive men during a 5-month intervention period. SUBJECTS/METHODS: The subjects were free-living hypertensive Japanese men aged 40 to 75 years who agreed to intervention in the period from 2004 to 2011. Detection of the AT2R 3123C/A polymorphism was determined by polymerase chain reaction. The dietary intervention was designed to decrease salt level and to increase potassium level through cooking instructions and self-monitoring of the diet. The exercise session consisted of activities such as stretching, resistance training, and walking. Blood pressure, urinary sodium and potassium excretion, dietary and lifestyle data, and non-fasting venous blood sample were collected at baseline and after the intervention period. RESULTS: Thirty nine subjects were eligible for participation and the follow-up rate was 97.4%. The C allele proportion was 57.9%. AT2R 3123C/A polymorphism was X-chromosome-linked, therefore we analyzed the C and A genotypes. At baseline, no significant differences were observed between the genotype groups. After the intervention, there were no significant differences in lifestyle habit between the groups. Nevertheless, the estimated salt excretion (g/day) was significantly decreased only in the C genotype (13.0-10.3, P = 0.031). No significant change was observed in systolic blood pressure (SBP) (mmHg) in the A genotype, but a significant decrease was observed in the C genotype (150.0-141.5, P = 0.024). CONCLUSTIONS: In the C genotype, it might be easy to improve SBP through lifestyle intervention in free-living hypertensive Japanese men, however generalization could not be achieved by the small sample size.

본 연구에서는 철탑의 기초로 사용이 증가되고 있는 현장타설말뚝의 크기를 줄이기 위한 방안으로 말뚝주면에 가시모양의 보강재를 타설.정착시켜 지지력을 증가하는 보강형 현장타설말뚝에 대한 수치해석적 연구를 수행하였다. 보강재에 의한 지지력 증가효과의 크기를 정량적, 정성적으로 알아보기 위해 풍화토, 풍화암, 연암지반 등 국내의 대표적 지반을 대상으로 보강재의 단수, 경사 및 위치 등을 변화시켜 해석을 실시하였다. 보강재 단수변화의 경우, 풍화암과 연암지반에서는 단수증가에 따라 비례적으로 보강효과가 증가하였지만 풍화토의 경우 단수의 증가에 따라 보강효과 증가율이 작아지는 결과가 나타났다. 위치변화의 경우, 수평하중재하시 보강재가 상단에 위치한 경우가 하중을 직접적으로 지지하기 때문에 가장 보강효과가 좋은 것으로 나타났지만 압축, 인장하중의 경우 큰 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 경사변화의 경우, 연직하중일 때는 보강재 전 길이에 걸쳐 축력이 최대로 발휘되는 60$^{\circ}$의 경사일 때 보강효과가 가장 크게 나타났다. 하지만 수평하중일 때는 하중재하 방향과 일치하는 0$^{\circ}$에서 보강효과가 전반적으로 좋게 나타났다.

The structures of reinforced concrete have been extensively increased with rapid development of industrial society. Futhermore, these reinforced concretes are easy to expose to severe corrosive environments such as seawater, contaminated water, acid rain and seashore etc.. Thus, corrosion problem of steel bar embedded in concrete is very important in terms of safety and economical point of view. In this study, specimens having six different coating thickness (W/C:0.5) were prepared and immersed in flowing seawater for five years to evaluate the effect of coating thickness and immersion time on corrosion property. The polarization characteristics of these embedded steel bars were investigated using electrochemical methods such as corrosion potential, anodic polarization curve, and impedance. At the 20-day immersion, the corrosion potentials exhibited increasingly nobler values with coating thickness. However, after 5-yr. immersion their values were shifted in the negative direction, and the relationship between corrosion potential and coating thickness was not shown. Although 5-yr. immersion lowered corrosion potential, 5-yr. immersion did not increase corrosion rate. In addition, after 5-yr. immersion, the thinner cover thickness, corrosion current density was decreased with thinning coating thickness. It is due to the fact that ease incorporation of water, dissolved oxygen and chloride ion into a steel surface caused corrosion and hence, leaded to the formation of corrosion product. The corrosion product plays the role as a corrosion barrier and increases polarization resistance. The corrosion probability evaluated depending on corrosion potential may not be a good method for predicting corrosion probability. Hence, the parameters including cover thickness and passed aged years as well as corrosion potential is suggested to be considered for better assessment of corrosion probability of reinforced steel exposed to partially or fully in marine environment for long years.

친환경 콘크리트 개발의 의미와 한계를 파악하기 위해 알칼리 활성 경량콘크리트 6배합이 실험되었다. 무시멘트 친환경 결합재를 생산하기 위해 고로슬래그와 분말형 규산나트륨이 각각 모재와 활성화제로 이용되었다. 최대직경 13 mm의 경량골재가 굵은골재로 이용되었으며, 최대직경 5 mm의 경량골재가 천연모래의 용적비로 0, 15, 30, 50, 75 및 100% 치환되었다. 굳지 않은 콘크리트에서는 시간경과에 따른 슬럼프 변화가 측정되었으며, 굳은 콘크리트에서는 재령에 따른 압축강도 발현속도, 할렬인장강도, 파괴계수, 탄성계수, 응력-변형률 관계, 부착강도 및 건조수축 변형률이 측정되었다. 실험된 알칼리 활성 경량콘크리트의 압축강도는 경량 잔골재 치환율이 30% 이상일 때 급격히 감소하였다. 특히 사용된 경량골재의 불연속 입도분포는 콘크리트의 역학적 특성들을 나쁘게 만들었다. 알칼리 활성 경량콘크리트의 역학적 특성들은 보통포틀랜드시멘트 경량콘크리트를 위해 제시된 ACI 318-05 및 EC 2 설계기준 또는 Slate 등의 제안모델들과 비교되었다. 또한 측정된 응력-변형률 관계는 보통포틀랜드시멘트 경량콘크리트의 실험 결과에 근거하여 제시된 Tasnimi의 모델과 비교되었다. 실험 결과와 각 제안 모델들과의 비교는 잘 일치하지 않았다.
