This study was undertaken at Gowa, South Sulawesi, Indonesia as part of a larger forage genetic resource evaluation project. The experimental program consisted of a field experiment where grasses and legume species were grown in monocultures and the yield, N content and rumen bag digestibility using goats were measured. The field experiment was conducted from December 1985 to October 1986. Eight species of legumes (Desmodium heterophyllum cv. John-stone, Desmodium triflorum from Gowa, South Sulawesi, Arachis sp. from Maiwa, South Sulawesi, Clitoria ternalea CPI 50973, Macroptilium atropurpureum ev. Siratro, Neonotonia wightii cv. Tinaroo, Centrosema pubescens CPI 58575, Centrosema plumeri CPI 58568) were grown as monocultures. After establishment all plants were cut to a uniform height of 5 cm, and subsequent cuts were made on regrowth after 14, 28, 42, and 56 days (cycle 1). Cycle 2 commenced towards the end of the wet season and continued for 157 days into the dry season. The highest yielding legumes were C. ternatea in the wet season and Arachis sp. in the dry season. The mean rumen bag dry matter digestibility (RBDMD) of legumes of 67.6% for leaf material (averaged over all cycles and ages) was 7.6% higher than for stem material. The RBDMD of Arachis was significantly higher than all other species. The RBDMD of all legumes declined with age. Calculation of yield of digestible DM (yield $\times$ RBDMD) showed that Arachis sp. was the best legume. The combination of plant "quality" with yield measures is a valuable adjunct to routine agronomic survey procedures in plant evaluation programs. Arachis sp. appears to offer considerable promise and should be more widely evaluated.

이 연구에서는 고흡수율 폴리머(SAPs)를 포함하는 시멘트계 재료의 자기치유에 대한 습윤/건조 반복 작용의 영향을 실험적으로 평가하였다. 매 주기마다 SAP 함량을 변수로 하는 시멘트 페이스트 시편을 균열 이후 1시간 동안 습윤 조건에 노출시키고(흡수율시험 및 투수시험 진행), 47시간 동안 건조 조건에 노출시켰다. 흡수율시험 결과 SAP 미혼입 시편, SAP 0.5%, SAP 1.0%, SAP 1.5% 혼입 시편의 균열을 통한 흡수율이 각각 1주기 대비 8주기 이후 22.9%, 36.8%, 42.8%, 46.3% 감소한 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 투수시험 결과 모든 시편의 균열을 통한 물 유출량은 습윤/건조 주기에 따라 점차 감소하였으며, 특히 SAP 함량이 증가할수록 유량 감소율은 증가하였다. 또한, X-ray CT 분석을 통해 균열 내 SAPs의 유입수에 의한 팽윤 거동이 확인되었다. 실험 결과는 SAPs가 유입수를 흡수하여 팽윤함에 따라 유효 균열폭이 감소될 수 있고, SAPs는 흡수한 물을 건조 조건에서 주변 균열부에 공급함에 따라 치유 생성물의 형성을 촉진시킬 수 있음을 나타낸다. 이 연구의 결과는 SAPs의 혼입이 균열의 수밀성을 증가시킴에 따라 시멘트계 재료의 자기치유 성능을 향상시킬 수 있음을 나타낸다.

Effect of fixation methods and relaxation treatment on the dimensional stability and physical properties of MDPPA/HMM treated cotton knitted fabrics were studied. Combination of four different fixation methods - relaxation, swelling agent treatment, pad dry cure fixation, and wet fixation - were applied to flame retardant finish of 4 kinds of cotton knitted fabric with MDPPA/HMM. Then these fabrics were washed 10 times. As a result, In swelling treatment on 10G showed relatively higher value of length shrinkage than 14G. Length and width shrinkage were increased by initial washing treatment and no further change was shown after 6 washing cycles. After 10 washing cycles, length and width shrinkage decreased. The KES standardized basic value of B/W, 2HB/W and bursting strength of interlock were relatively larger than those of single jersey. The values of B/W and 2HB/W of cotton knitted fabrics were increased by relaxation and washing treatment but were decreased by swelling treatment. In addition, the bursting strength of the cotton knitted fabrics was decreased after fusing, washing and relaxation treatment.

Photocatalytic cement has been receiving attention due to its high oxidation power that reduces nitrogen oxide, thus contributing to a clean atmospheric environment. However, there has not yet been a thorough investigation on the effect of photocatalytic reactions on the durability of cementitious material, the parent material. In this study, photocatalytic cement samples were exposed to nitric oxide gas and UV along with cycles of wetting and drying to simulate environmental conditions. The surface of samples was characterized mechanically, chemically, and visually during the cycling. The results indicate that that the photocatalytic efficiency decreased with continued NO oxidation. The pits found from SEM indicated that chemical deterioration, such as acid attack or leaching, did occur. However, this was not confirmed by X-ray diffraction. The hardness was not affected, probably due to the formation of CSH as evidenced by the XRD pattern. In conclusion, it was found that photocatalysis could alter cementitious materials both chemically and mechanically, which could further affect long-term durability.

Recently, the deterioration of reinforced concrete structures, primarily due to corrosion of steel reinforcement, has become a major concern. Chloride-induced deterioration is the most important deterioration phenomenon in reinforced concrete structures in harsh environments. For the realistic prediction of chloride penetration into concrete, a mathematical model was developed in which the effects of diffusion, chloride binding and convection due to water movement can be taken into account. The aim of this research was to reach a better understanding on the physical mechanisms underlying the deterioration process of reinforced concrete associated with chloride-induced corrosion and to propose a reliable method for estimating these effects. Chloride concentrations coming from de-icing salts are significantly influenced by the exposure conditions such as salt usage, ambient temperature and repeated wet-dry cycles.

The gas adsorption efficiency for various surfaces with three different characteristics has been reviewed. The dimethyl disulfide gas has been used to investigate characteristics of gas adsorption for different surface characteristics such as plasma treated, lacquer coated and untreated. Three different surfaces were evaluated in dry conditions initially and tested at wet surface conditions with spraying water to evaluate the gas adsorption efficiency which usually occurred at defrost cycles. The results show that the gas adsorption of the plasma treated sample has better performance than others. The lacquer coated and untreated samples showed the similar result, but the lacquer coated sample showed a slightly better performance.

Spent fuels are discharged from nuclear reactors as a result of power generations. The spent fuels would be considered as a useful resources because the main constituent is uranium and some other actinides are included in them. In order to utilize the resources chemical processes should be developed to treat the spent fuels and obtain uranium and other actinides to be fueled in a fast reactor. The technologies are categorized into wet and dry processes. In this study, the current status of such technologies is summarized to give a insight and a deep understanding on nuclear fuel cycles.

고분자전해질 연료전지 (PEMFC)에 공기와 수소를 공급하고 개회로전압 (OCV) 상태에서 가습/건조를 반복하는 고분자막의 화학적/기계적 내구성 평가법이 사용되고 있다. 이 프로토콜에서 가습/건조가 반복되면 전압 상승/감소가 반복되어 전극 열화도 발생한다. 막 내구성이 우수한 경우 전압 변화 횟수가 증가해, 전극 열화에 의해 평가가 종료되어 원래 목적인 막 내구성 평가를 할 수 없는 문제가 발생하기도 한다. 본 연구에서는 미국 에너지부 (DOE)와 동일한 프로토콜을 사용하되 cathode 가스로 공기대신 산소를 사용하고 가습/건조시간과 유량도 증가시켜 막의 화학적/기계적 열화 속도를 증가시켜서 고분자막 내구 평가 시간을 단축시킴으로서 이와 같은 문제를 개선하고자 하였다. Nafion 211 막전극접합체(MEA) 내구성 평가를 공기 대신 산소를 사용해서 가속화도를 2.6배 증가시켜 2,300 사이클만에 평가 종료하였다. 본 프로토콜에 의해 고분자막도 가속 열화되고, 전극 촉매도 가속 열화되어 고분자막과 전극의 내구성을 동시에 평가할 수 있는 이점도 있었다.

The use of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) to strengthen steel structures has attracted the attention of researchers greatly. Previous studies demonstrated bonding of CFRP plates to the steel sections has been a successful method to increase the mechanical properties. However, the main limitation to popular use of steel/CFRP strengthening system is the concern on durability of bonding between steel and CFRP in various environmental conditions. The paper evaluates the performance of I-section steel beams strengthened with pultruded CFRP plate on the bottom flange after exposure to diverse conditions including natural tropical climate, wet/dry cycles, plain water, salt water and acidic solution. Four-point bending tests were performed at specific intervals and the mechanical properties were compared to the control beam. Besides, the ductility of the strengthened beams and distribution of shear stress in adhesive layer were investigated thoroughly. The study found the adhesive layer was the critical part and the performance of the system related directly to its behavior. The highest strength degradation was observed for the beams immersed in salt water around 18% after 8 months exposure. Besides, the ductility of all strengthened beams increased after exposure. A theoretical procedure was employed to model the degradation of epoxy adhesive.

Condensation heat transfer characteristics have been investigated experimentally when a water vapor is condensed on the outside of a horizontal copper tube in a condenser. This problem is of particular interest in the design of a LiBr-water absorption system. Hydrophilic surface modification was performed to increase the wettability on the copper tube. The optimum hydrophilic treatment condition using acethylene and nitrogen as reaction gas is also studied in detail. The results obtained indicate that the optimum reaction gas ratio of acethylene to nitrogen for hydrophilic surface modification was found to be 7 : 3 for the best condensation heat transfer. In the wide ranges of coolant inlet temperatures, and coolant mass flow rates, both the condensation heat transfer rate and the condensation heat transfer coefficient of a hydrophilic copper tube are increased substantially, compared with those of a conventional copper tube used in a condenser. It is also found that the condensation heat transfer enhancement by the hydrophilic surface modification still emains even after a hundred cycles of wet/dry processes.
