Silicone softner(SSN-3) for permanent press(PP) finish was prepared by blending beef tallow hardened oil for Improving softness, water, the emulsion, which was synthesized from pentaerythritol monostearate as a softening component and silicone oil KF-96 as a lubricating component. The prepared SSN-3 and the PP finishing resin were applied to PP finishing cotton broad cloth and P/C gingham samples using one bath method. The properties such as crease recovery, tear strength, bending resistance test were tested. The samples treated with SSN-3 and PP finishing resin have improved properties, compared with nontreated samples, those treated only with PP finishing resin, those treated with commercial PP finishing softners and PP finishing resin. Also from the bending resistance test, the two kinds of fabric samples treated with SSN-3 of 3% showed grade 5 and these were good enough in feeling.

Soil stabilization is one of the useful method of ground improvement for soil with low bearing capacity and high settlement and unrequired swelling potential. Generally, the stabilization is carried out by adding some solid materials. The main objective of this research was to investigate the feasibility of stabilization of organic soils and sewage sludge to obtain low cost alternative embankment material by the addition of two different slags. Slags were used as a replacement for weak soil at ratios of 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%, where sewage sludge and organic soil were blended with slags separately. The maximum dry unit weights and the optimum water contents for all soil mixtures were determined. In order to investigate the influence of the slags on the strength of sewage sludge and organic soil, and to obtain the optimal mix design; compaction tests, the California bearing ratio (CBR) test, unconfined compressive strength (UCS) test, hydraulic conductivity test (HCT) and pH tests were carried out on slag-soil specimens. Unconfined compressive tests were performed on non-cured samples and those cured at 7 days. The test results obtained from untreated specimens were compared to tests results obtained from soil samples treated with slag. Laboratory tests results indicated that blending slags with organic soil or sewage sludge improved the engineering properties of organic or sewage sludge. Therefore, it is concluded that slag can be potentially used as a stabilizer to improve the properties of organic soils and sewage sludge.

Low-melting-temperature agarose gel solution, as a novel porogen was combined with a silk fibroin solution to generate interconnected porous networks. The porosity of the resultant silk fibroin-agarose scaffolds was greater than that of the scaffolds generated with agarose and deionized water. The porosities of silk fibroin scaffolds containing agarose gel at 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0% [w/v] were 110.9%, 111.7%, 120.9%, and 123.0%, respectively. Lastly, the internal space generated in scaffolds after dissolution of the agarose gel provides a good environment for cell growth and movement within the scaffold.

This study aims to recycle redmud which is a byproduct in the alumina industry. Redmud ceramics were prepared according to the type of raw materials by blending redmud with the raw materials used in the conventional clay bricks. In this paper, the compressive strength, water absorption ratio, and shrinkage of redmud ceramics prepared by mixing clay bricks were evaluated. Compressive strength and absorption ratio of redmud ceramics were compared with the clay brick criteria of KS L 4201. At the firing temperature of $1200^{\circ}C$, the specimens containing redmud only and the redmud with sandy loam and black clay were found to satisfy the 1st class of clay brick. The quality standard of compressive strength and absorption ratio was obtained by firing redmud with black clay and sandy loam at $1200^{\circ}C$. Also, when the redmud was mixed with black clay and feldspar, the 2nd class was satisfied when the sample was fired at $1100^{\circ}C$.

Exploration has always been an instinct of humans, and underwater life is as fascinating as it seems. So, for studying flora and fauna below water, there is a need for high-quality images. However, the underwater images tend to be of impaired quality due to various factors, which calls for improved and enhanced underwater images. There are various Histogram Equalization (HE) based techniques which could aid in solving these issues. Classifying the HE methods broadly, there is Global Histogram Equalization (GHE), Mean Brightness Preserving HE (MBPHE), Bin Modified HE (BMHE), and Local HE (LHE). Each of these HE extensions have their own pros and cons and thus, by considering them we have considered BBHE, CLAHE, BPDHE, BPDFHE, and DSIHE enhancement algorithms, which are based on Mean Brightness Preserving HE and Local HE, for this study. The performance is evaluated with non-reference performance measures like Entropy, UCIQE, UICM, and UIQM. In this study, we apply the enhancement algorithms on 300 images from the UIEB benchmark dataset and then apply the techniques of cascading fusion on the best-performing algorithms.

Water glass (WG) and sodium sulfate (SS) were used to prepare polymeric aluminum chloride residue cement mortar (PACRM) by single and compound blending with polymeric aluminum chloride waste residue, respectively. The structural strength and textural characteristics examinations showed that PACRM consistency increased by incorporating WG, but decreased by incorporating SS. When WG and SS were compounded, the mortar consistency initially rose before falling. The compressive strength of PACRM increased and then decreased as WG was increased. The mechanical properties of PACRM were better enhanced by SS than WG, showing no strength deterioration. The main reason for the improved mechanical properties of polymeric aluminum chloride waste residue in the presence of activators is the increased precipitation of reactive substances, such as C-S-H gels, calcium silica, and Ca(OH)₂. The density of the specimens with PACRM and the degree of aggregation of hydration products were significantly enhanced by generating more hydration products in the mortar. Further, the cracks and pores were significantly reduced, and the matrix structure was continuous and dense at 5% SS doping and 3% compound doping.

BIOVITA 3 bacterial species (BIOVITA 3), a probiotic blend powder containing Clostridium butyricum IDCC 1301, Weizmannia coagulans IDCC 1201, and Bacillus subtilis IDCC 1101, has been used as a food ingredient for gut health. However, its efficacy in improving constipation has not been reported. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the functional effects of oral administration of BIOVITA 3 as well as its component strains alone (at 1.0×10⁹ CFU/day) in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats with loperamide-induced constipation. The study included fecal analysis, gastrointestinal transit ratio, histopathological analysis, short chain fatty acids (SCFAs), and metagenome analysis. As results, the BIOVITA 3 group showed significant improvements in fecal number, water content, gastrointestinal transit ratio, and thickening of the mucosal layer. In the SCFAs analysis, all probiotic-treated groups showed an increase in total SCFAs compared to the loperamide-constipated group. Changes in microbial abundance and the diversity index of three groups (normal, constipated, and BIOVITA 3) were also defined. Of these, the BIOVITA 3 showed a significant improvement in loperamide-constipated SD-rats. This study suggests the possibility that BIOVITA 3 can be applied as an ingredient in functional foods to relieve constipation.

친환경 소재인 폴리프로필렌카보네이트(PPC)를 포장소재로서 응용하기 위하여 가로세로비가 큰 박리흑연 EFG(exfoliated graphite)를 이용하여 함량을 달리한 6종류의 PPC/EFG 나노복합필름을 제조하였다. 제조한 나노복합필름의 수분흡수 거동을 gravimetric method를 이용하여 측정하였으며, 나노복합필름의 수분에 대한 화학적 친화성(chemical affinity)과 모폴로지(morphology) 변화를 이용하여 해석하였다. 필름 내로의 수분확산 거동은 박막의 불균일성에도 불구하고 Fickian diffusion model에 잘 부합하였으며, EFG의 함량이 증가할수록 수분 확산계수와 수분 흡수량은 $12.5{\times}10^{-10}cm^2sec^{-1}$에서 $7.2{\times}10^{-10}cm^2sec^{-1}$, 8.9 wt%에서 4.2 wt%로 각각 감소하였다. 이는 수분에 대한 PPC의 차단특성이 EFG의 도입에 따라 향상되는 것을 의미한다. 높은 가로세로비를 가진 EFG를 PPC에 도입함으로써 PPC/EFG 나노복합필름의 수분에 대한 우수한 차단성 특성 발현은 패키징분야를 포함한 차단성이 요구되는 분야로의 친환경 PPC 응용성이 클 것으로 기대된다. 한편, EFG의 도입효과를 극대화하기 위한 추가적인 EFG의 분산성 향상연구가 필요하다.

Poly propylene carbonate (PPC)와 cloisite 20B (PPC/C-20B)을 solution method를 통하여 합성하였고, 이를 통해 합성된 나노 조성물의 morphology, 열적 특성, 수분 흡수의 특성을 평가하였다. 나노 조성물의 구조는 X-ray diffraction (XRD) 로 확인하였고, 열적 특성은 thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA)와 differential scanning calorimetric (DSC)를 이용해 분석하였다. TGA와 DSC의 결과를 통해 나노 조성물은 기존의 PPC에 비해 높은 열적 안정성을 가짐을 확인할 수 있었다. DSC측정에서 5 wt%의 clay를 포함한 nanohybrid의 유리전이온도는 순수한 PPC의 $21^{\circ}C$에서 $30^{\circ}C$로 $9^{\circ}C$ 증가하였고, TGA 측정을 통해 확인한 열분해온도($T_{d50%}$)는 순수 PPC에 비해 $23^{\circ}C$가 높아졌음을 확인하였다. 또한 PPC 나노 조성물의 수분 흡수량은 기존의 PPC에 비해 상당히 감소하였다. 이는 clay의 PPC matrix 구조 내에 존재함으로 인해 수분 흡수를 감소시킨 것으로 해석할 수 있다. 수분 흡수는 코팅 막의 분해를 유발하고 물리적, 기계적 성능에 영향을 미친다. 따라서 나노 조성물로 인한 PPC의 열적 안정성, 수분흡수도 향상은 PPC의 사용과 실제 공정에 중요한 변수로 작용할 수 있다.
