Though the wet bottom ash has been used as a type of lightweight aggregate, dry bottom ash, new type bottom ash from coal combustion power plant, has scarcely researched. It is excellent lightweight aggregate in the view point of construction material. This study is performed to check the applicability of dry bottom ash as a fine aggregate in lightweight aggregate concrete, by analyzing various properties of fresh and hardened concrete. We get results that the slump of concrete is within the target range at less than 75% replacement rate of dry bottom ash, the air content is not affected by the replacement rate of dry bottom ash, the bleeding capacity is less than $0.025cm^3/cm^2$ at 75% under of the replacement rate of dry bottom ash, and the compressive strength of concrete show 90% or more comparing the base mix while initial strength development is a little low. Oven dry unit weight of concrete is reduced by 8.9% when replaced 100% dry bottom ash, and dry shrinkage tends to decrease depending on increase of replacement rate of dry bottom ash. Modulus of elasticity of concrete shows no decease at 50% over of the replacement rate of dry bottom ash, while modulus of elasticity of concrete decreases when the replacement rate increases further. The dry bottom ash, when used as a fine aggregate in lightweight concrete, can be used effectively without any deterioration in quality.

Carbon nanofiber electrode has been fabricated for energy storage systems by the electrospinning of SU-8 precursor and subsequent pyrolysis. Various parameters including the applied voltage, the distance between syringe tip and target collector and the flow rate of the polymer affect the diameter of SU-8 electrospun nanofibers. Shrinkage during pyrolysis decreases the fiber diameter. As the pyrolysis temperature increases, the resistivity decreases dramatically. Low resistivity is one of the important characteristics of the electrodes of an energy storage device. Given the advantages of carbon nanofibers having high external surface area, electrical conductivity, and lithium intercalation ability, SU-8 derived carbon nanofibers were applied to the anode of a full lithium ion cell. In this paper, we studied the physical properties of carbon fiber electrode by scanning transmission microscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis, and four-point probe. The electrochemical characteristics of the electrode were investigated by cyclic voltammogram and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy plots.

In genetic association studies with high-dimensional genomic data, multiple group testing procedures are often required in order to identify disease/trait-related genes or genetic regions, where multiple genetic sites or variants are located within the same gene or genetic region. However, statistical testing procedures based on an individual test suffer from multiple testing issues such as the control of family-wise error rate and dependent tests. Moreover, detecting only a few of genes associated with a phenotype outcome among tens of thousands of genes is of main interest in genetic association studies. In this reason regularization procedures, where a phenotype outcome regresses on all genomic markers and then regression coefficients are estimated based on a penalized likelihood, have been considered as a good alternative approach to analysis of high-dimensional genomic data. But, selection performance of regularization procedures has been rarely compared with that of statistical group testing procedures. In this article, we performed extensive simulation studies where commonly used group testing procedures such as principal component analysis, Hotelling's $T^2$ test, and permutation test are compared with group lasso (least absolute selection and shrinkage operator) in terms of true positive selection. Also, we applied all methods considered in simulation studies to identify genes associated with ovarian cancer from over 20,000 genetic sites generated from Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation27K Beadchip. We found a big discrepancy of selected genes between multiple group testing procedures and group lasso.

When the complete denture is made, the record base for jaw relation is divided into temporary record base and permanent record base. However, The temporary record base include some disadvantages such as, the lackness of intimate contact between model and base, the lackness of retention during the jaw relation registration, When we obtained jaw relation the permanent record bases made from heat curing resin were utilized. We could get several advantages as follows : 1. The permanent record base provided intimate contact between the model and record base. 2. In fabricating occlusal rim on record base, the dimensional change of record base was little because the permanent record base was lesser influenced to thermal change of occlusal rim than the temporary record base. 3. At the stage of jaw relation, the retention of final denture could be early checked. 4. It could be able to get more accurate registration of jaw relation because all procedure were done on the same base during the jaw relation, artificial teeth arrangement, try-in, and final denture construction. 5. Although there was an inconvenience due to double curing procedure, the shrinkage rate in resin polimerization was relatively reduced so that more dimensional stability could be taken.

This paper investigated optimum process conditions of coating yarn for awning fabric. For this purpose, the simulation for processability and yarn quality using SPSS statistics package was carried out, and PP/TPO and PET/PVC coating yarns specimens were made with variation of extruder temperature and feed speed of core yarn on the yarn coating machine for examining simulation result. It was revealed that optimum coating conditions of PP/TPO 1000d coating yarn were extruder temperature $150^{\circ}C$, and core yarn feed speed 400~500m/min. Mechanical property and thermal shrinkage of PP/TPO coating yarn made at this conditions were best and core evenness rates of these coating yarns by yarn compression tester were also superior, which was certified by SEM photograph. In addition, these experimental results were coincided with simulation results. It was found that, in PET/PVC coating yarn, yarn physical properties between 1500d and 1200d coated yarns were not shown any difference, and core evenness rates of these coating yarns were superior. It revealed and concluded that these simulated coating conditions are applicable to production field.

A ceramic floor with improved thermal conductivity and efficiency has been developed in this study. The new ceramic floor minimizes the shrinkage rate to below 0.07% and shows almost no cleavage. There is no need to repaire the ceramic floor because its bottom surface is flat. It especially shows an excellent perfomance in the test of a compressive strength ($300kg/cm^2$ based on 28 days), a flexural strength ($64kg/cm^2$ based on 28 days), and a convenient pressing. It is lighter than the present floor and it is expected to be applicable for a self-leveling ceramic motar in the residences and apartments. It shows an excellent character in the thermal conductivity and other physical properties compare to the present cement mortar.

Macro-porous carbon foams are fabricated using cured spherical phenolic resin particles as a matrix and furfuryl alcohol as a binder through a simple casting molding. Different sizes of the phenolic resin particles from 100-450 ㎛ are used to control the pore size and structure. Ethylene glycol is additionally added as a pore-forming agent and oxalic acid is used as an initiator for polymerization of furfuryl alcohol. The polymerization is performed in two steps; at 80℃ and 200℃ in an ambient atmosphere. The carbonization of the cured body is performed under Nitrogen gas flow (0.8 L/min) at 800℃ for 1 h. Shrinkage rate and residual carbon content are measured by size and weight change after carbonization. The pore structures are observed by both electron and optical microscope and compared with the porosity results achieved by the Archimedes method. The porosity is similar regardless of the size of the phenolic resin particles. On the other hand, the pore size increases in proportion to the phenol resin size, which indicates that the pore structure can be controlled by changing the raw material particle size.

Kimbugak is one of Korea's traditional snacks made of laver. This study was conducted to investigate the physical drying and frying characteristics of kimbugaks made by a pasting & garnishing machine. The drying and frying characteristics should be analyzed to develop a continuous operation system for manufacturing kimbugak because kimbugak has a high moisture content after pasting process. Materials for pasting and garnishing on laver were rice gruel and sesame. The aluminum shelf with square hole was selected as a drying shelf. The recommended size of the square hole type was $1.5mm{\times}1.5mm$ because characteristics of deformation and easy separation from the shelf were excellent at the hole size. The drying time of 2 hours was also recommended with the drying temperature of $70^{\circ}C$ based on the test results such as dried condition (good), moisture conten t (3.7%), deformation (12.1 mm), and shrinkage rate (19.8%). As the frying conditions for dried kimbugaks, recommended oil temperature and frying time were $170^{\circ}C$, 15 seconds, respectively when corn oil was used. In the case of frying for undried kimbugaks, recommended oil temperature and frying time were $210^{\circ}C$, 2 - 3 minutes, respectively for improvement of work efficiency.
