This study is on basic experimental methods of easily verifying the fiber content in non-spalling concrete at construction sites. As a result, fiber content in a mixture can be effectively measured by using 15$\ell$ of water for dilution of specimens, dry bit trowel for tool, and microwave for drying.

In this paper, we implement a new vocabulary-independent speech recognition system that uses CV, VCCV, VC recognition unit. Since these recognition units are extracted in the trowel region of syllable, the segmentation is easy and robust. And in the case of not existing VCCV unit, the units are replaced by combining VC and CV semi-syllable model. Clustering of vowel group and applying combination rule to the substitution model in the case of not existing of VCCV model lead to 5.2% recognition performance improvement from 90.4% (Model A) to 95.6% (Model C) in the first candidate. The recognition results that is 98.8% recognition rate in the second candidate confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Preliminary investigation of CC process indicates that the process is feasible and has significant potential in construction automation approach of large objects. The process aims at automated construction of whole houses as well as sub-components. The potential of CC became evident from the initial investigations and experiments with various materials and geometries. Using this process, a single house or a colony of houses, each with possibly a different design, may be automatically constructed in a single run as shown on

A self-propulsive polishing robot is proposed as a method which automates a floor polisher. The proposed robot with two rotary brushes does not require any mechanism such as wheels to obtain driving forces. When the robot polishes a floor with its two brushes rotating, friction forces occur between the two brushes and the floor. These friction forces are used to move the robot. Thus, the robot can move in any direction by controlling the two rotary brushes properly. In this paper, firstly a dynamics model of a brush is presented. It computes the friction force between the brush and the floor. Secondly, the dynamics of the proposed robot is presented by using the bush dynamics. Finally, the inverse dynamics is solved for the basic motions, such as the forward, backward, leftward, rightward motions and the pure rotaion. This paper will contribute to realize a self-propulsive polishing robot as proposed above, In addition, this paper will give basic ideas to automate the concrete floor finishing trowel, because its basic idea for motion is similar to that of the proposed robot.

The spadenose shark, Scoliodon laticaudus, belongs to the family carcharhinidae was described as the first record from Korea based on a single specimen collected from the South Sea of Korea. The species is characterized by having a greatly depressed and trowel-shaped head, a depressed and long snout, triangular pectoral fins, and posterior tip of the first dorsal fin reaching the middle of pelvic fin. We propose a new Korean names of the genus Scoliodon and the species S. laticaudus as "Nab-jag-ju-dung-i-sang-eo sog" and "Nab-jag-ju-dung-i-sang-eo", respectively.

This study aims at identifying wall painting production technique of Songsanri No. 6 tomb based on optical examination and scientific analysis along with the investigation of written records of ancient wall paintings. The result displays that bricks with mortar were used for the construction of the wall, and masonry joint were made of lime, sand and gypsum. The surface of brick were plastered with black and thereafter with white lime. Finely sifted clay on the top of the white surface, were applied not with plasterer's trowel but with a brush for making ground surface. The clay are mineral particles smaller than $30{\mu}m$ of silt. The wall paintings of Sonsanri No. 6 is the only example of making ground layer with clay for painting of Sasindo (literally four heavenly animals painting) among remaining wall paintings of ancient tombs. The historical value of the painting should be attributed not only in terms that it displays a rare production techniques which were never discovered in any other paintings in Korea and Asia, but also it might had been uncompleted when the tomb were closed, even though it considers the fact that the wall painting were discovered in damaged condition in 1933.
