실물 크기로 제작된 L형 프리캐스트 옹벽의 저판부에 대한 휨 실험을 수행하여, 프리캐스트 부분과 현장타설 부분의 연결방법에 따른 구조적 거동을 분석하였다. 연결방법은 기존의 일반적인 철근 겹이 음 방식과 최근 새롭게 개발된 비접촉식 커플러 방식 두 가지를 적용하였다. 실험체 셋팅을 위하여 현 장타설부를 갖는 프리캐스트 L형 옹벽을 제작하여 벽체를 반력벽에 고정하고, 벽체 하단에 힌지 지점 을 설치하였다. 또한 L형 옹벽 저판부의 현장타설부 중간 지점에 하중을 재하하여 고정단 조건으로 인한 전단 및 휨이 연결부에 작용하도록 하였다. 실험결과를 보면 비접촉식 커플러를 적용한 옹벽 저 판부에서 좀더 높은 강성을 보이는 것을 확인하였으며, 최대 강도에는 차이가 없었다. 비접촉식 커플 러는 철근의 부착력에 의해 구조적 성능을 확보하는데 이를 위하여 확대마디, 연결 철근, 스파이럴바 등이 사용된다. 이러한 구성품들로 인하여 비접촉식 커플러 적용 구간에 철근 단면적 향상 효과가 나 타나 높은 강성을 갖게 된 것으로 판단 된다. 비접촉식 커플러는 기존 겹이음에 비해 이음길이를 50% 수준으로 감소할 수 있어 대형 프리캐스트 구조물의 제작에 활용되는데 이번 실험을 통하여 충분한 구조 성능을 가지고 있음을 확인하였다.

This study deals with the vibration transmissibility of a vibration isolation device, which is composed of frictional damping and nonlinear softening springs, when its base is harmonically excited. The SCAP method, a type of averaging method, is employed to obtain steady-state responses. The vibration characteristics due to excitation of the base are investigated through the analysis of displacement transmissibility in the steady-state response. In this process, displacement transmissibility for design parameters is analyzed, and the stability of the response is also investigated. The vibration isolation effect due to frictional damping is found to be more effective in the case of the softening spring than in the case of the hardening spring. Additionally, the pattern of the jump phenomenon observed during frequency sweeping, both upward and downward, has been identified.

This study investigated primary teachers’ knowledge of pronunciation instruction, and its manifestation in classroom practices in Korean EFL contexts. To this end, the questionnaire data collected from 47 teachers were quantitatively analyzed. The emerging themes from 5 teachers’ interviews were qualitatively analyzed, based on content analysis. Findings revealed that they had an appropriate knowledge base of pronunciation teaching, equipped with the better understanding of content knowledge (CK), followed by pedagogical content knowledge (PCK), and technical pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK). No statistically significant difference was found in teachers’ knowledge between males and females, and also between the 4 groups with different teaching experience. They manifested their knowledge mainly acquired from the past course lectures into classroom practices, employing controlled and free practices such as listening and repeating, shadowing, songs, chants, games, and role play, including different types of corrective feedback. Most notably, they integrated role play effectively into classroom practices to improve young learners’ pronunciation in interestprovoking and enjoyable ways.

This study was conducted to investigate the growth characteristics of domestic 'Sulhyang' strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) seedlings and to analyze their relationships in order to develop a growth prediction model. Fresh weight, dry weight, and leaf area were measured to validate the newly developed growth model. The relative growth rate (RGR) of ‘Sulhyang’ seedlings’ dry weight was an average of 0.026 g·g-1·d-1, and it increased to 0.066 g·g-1·d-1 on the 49th day after transplanting (DAT). The relationship between DAT and RGR was represented as RGR (dry weight)(g·g- 1·d-1) = 0.0392/(1 + exp(–(DAT – 34.9940)/5.8662)). The crop growth rate (CGR) was an average of 0.060 g·m-2·d-1, and it increased to 0.211 g·m-2·d-1 on the 70th DAT. The relationship between DAT and CGR was calculated as CGR (dry weight)(g·m-2·d-1) = 0.1293/(1 + exp(–(DAT – 49.3917)/6.0928)). The relationship between shoot fresh weight (y) and shoot dry weight (x) per plant showed a linear relationship of y = 4.3189x + 0.7812 (R2 = 0.9976). Fresh weight, dry weight, and leaf area with respect to DAT and cumulative temperature increased exponentially, and sigmoid curve models were developed based on these data. The model with the highest coefficient of determination was found for the relationship between shoot dry weight (y) and cumulative temperature (x), represented as y = 14.2285/(1 + exp(–(x – 1590.1295)/377.8112)) (R2 = 0.9715). The results of this study can be utilized as valuable information for establishing a systematic management system for seedling production using strawberry cutting propagation methods. For the development of a more precise growth prediction model in the future, it is necessary to analyze and apply a wider range of growth indicators and meteorological factors related to strawberry seedlings.

Asphalt concrete, which is used as a road base material, accounts for >90% of a road pavement. A huge amount of waste concrete and waste asphalt concrete aggregates are generated. Recently, carbon neutrality is promoted across all industries for sustainability. Therefore, to achieve carbon neutrality in the asphalt concrete industry, waste asphalt concrete aggregates should be recycled. Additionally, road base materials are prepared using additives to ensure structural stability, durability, and economic efficiency. In this study, recycled asphalt concrete aggregates were used to evaluate the physical properties of road base materials according to the type of polymer additive and mixing method, and the applicability of road base each material was evaluated. Results showed that when the acrylate-based polymer additive was mixed, the uniaxial compressive strength was 30% higher. Furthermore, the compressive strength of the split mix was improved by ~29% compared to the total mix.

The asphalt concrete industry, accounting for >90% of road pavement, is a crucial contributor to construction waste. This study focuses on the recycling of asphalt concrete recycled aggregates, which currently exhibits a low rate. We investigated the application of these aggregates, combined with hardener and mixing water, in the development of ecofriendly road base materials using circular aggregates. Results revealed that the 13-mm asphalt concrete recycled aggregates met all quality standards. However, the 25-mm aggregates did not conform to the reclaimed asphalt content standard; however, they met other quality standards. Moreover, the experimental results for the hardener and mixing water indicated compliance with all quality standards.

PURPOSES : This study investigated the field applicability of pervious concrete to pavement base courses. Pervious concrete was developed at laboratory level, and the compaction methods, field moisture content, and fundamental properties when the material was constructed in the field were studied. METHODS : Field-applied pervious concrete was compacted at different levels using a tandem roller, and cores were taken to investigate the compressive strength, infiltration rate, continued porosity, and freeze-thaw resistance. In addition, the optimum field construction and quality control of the moisture content of a batch plant were measured. RESULTS : The moisture content of pervious concrete has an essential effect on workability and quality control during field test construction. From the test herein, the optimum value at a batch plant was found to be approximately 2.5±0.1%. The compaction level is also a crucial parameter at construction sites because it affects the mechanical and penetration properties. Considering both compressive strength and drainage, the recommended compaction was three times the round trip when a tandem roller was used. The penetration coefficient was 0.88 cm/sec when applying three times the round trip of the tandem roller. The freezing and thawing weight loss rates of the applied pervious concrete satisfied the required condition of 14% or less, regardless the compaction level. CONCLUSIONS : With the suggested mixed proportions of pervious concrete, the recommended compaction was three times the round trip of a tandem roller and a moisture content of approximately 2.5±0.1% from a batch plant. When these conditions were satisfied, the mechanical and drainage properties satisfied the required criteria.

When exposed to different types of bacteria in the oral cavity, denture based resins are prone to bacteria attachment. The purpose of this study was to investigate the physical, biological, and antimicrobial properties of denture base resins coated with Peony extract (200, 400, and 600 μg/mL). Specifically, the surface properties (microhardness, contact angle, and color change of the coated specimens), cell cytotoxicity (measured using MTT assay), and antimicrobial activity (against S. mutans (Streptococcus mutans) and C. albicans (Candida albicans) using a growth inhibition assay) were evaluated. The polyphenol content was measured using ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectrometry. The experimental groups (specimens coated with Peony extract) and a control group (specimens coated without Peony extract) were statistically compared using a one-way analysis of variance and Tukey’s post-hoc tests. No statistically significant differences in surface properties or cell cytotoxicity were observed, which demonstrated their biocompatibility. Conversely, a statistically significant difference in antimicrobial activity was observed between the experimental and control groups after 48 h. This confirms the antimicrobial activity of the denture base resin coated with Peony extract and demonstrates that it is a promising dental material for preventing stomatitis.

This paper proposes a method to improve the position control synchronization performance by synchronizing the controller operation between servo drives based on the synchronization signal of the EtherCAT(Ethernet for Control Automation Technology)distributed clock. In order to synchronize the operation of the controller between the servo drives, the phase of the operating frequency of the PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) module for motor control was synchronized based on the synchronization signal. At this time, the operation sequence of the current, speed, and position controller of the servo drive operating based on the PWM operating frequency was rearranged. Therefore, the servo drives on the network run the same controller at the same time. And the time at which the master's command is reflected to the drive's controller and the time at which the drive's status information is acquired coincided among the drives. After establishing an experimental environment in which servo drives are arranged in the EthercCAT network system, we verified that the position synchronization performance between servo drives applying the proposed method is improved.

In this paper, the effect of a dynamic vibration absorber to suppress the response of a base excitation vibration system composed of a cubic nonlinear spring and a friction damper is investigated. And the dynamic absorber consists of a linear spring and a viscose damper. The mathematical models of these systems are governed by second order nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The response characteristics of the system are analyzed using the slowly changing phase and amplitude(SCPA) method, which is one of the averaging methods. As a function of the friction force ratio, It was obtained the locking frequency at which the relative motion starts was obtained, and the regions where the locking occurred. The displacement transmissibility was investigated according to the change of the design parameter, and the optimal design parameters could be found to minimize the displacement transmissibility.

흰점박이꽃무지(Protaetia brevitarsis seulensis) 유충을 사육상자(가로 543 × 세로 363 × 높이 188 mm) 안에서 뽕나무 발효톱밥 기반 사료 를 이용하여 집단으로 사육할 때(25°C, 16:8 L:D), 투입될 수 있는 갓 부화한 유충의 밀도를 검토하였다. 100-175마리 투입구는 90일후 생존율 이 80% 이상으로 사육밀도 사이에 차이가 없었다. 그러나 200마리 밀도에서는 생존율이 약 10% 이상 감소하였다. 100-150마리 밀도에서 유충 평균 무게는 처리 밀도 사이에 유의한 차이가 없었으나, 175마리와 200마리 밀도에서는 100마리 밀도에 비해 유충 무게가 유의하게 낮았다. 사 육밀도가 낮을수록 유충 무게가 더 빨리 증가하였다. 이상의 결과를 종합하여 100-150마리가 처음 투입밀도로 적절하다고 판단하였다. 두 번째 실험으로, 종령 유충을 저온에 보관하는 조건을 검토하였다. 종령 유충을 4개의 무게 집단(1.8-2.0, 2.0-2.3, 2.3-2.5, 2.5 g 이상)으로 구분하여 4, 8, 10°C에 보관하였을 때, 4°C에서는 70일 보관된 유충들은 무게에 관계없이 모두 사망하였다. 그러나 8°C에서는 70일 보관집단에서 약 80%의 유충이 생존하였다. 보관하는 유충의 무게가 무거울수록 생존율이 높았다. 4°C 보관에서는 무게가 2.3 g 이상인 유충을 50일까지 보관한 후 우화 한 성충들만 적은 수의 산란을 하였다. 8°C와 10°C 처리에서는 유충 무게에 관계 없이 모두 산란을 하였다. 이상의 결과로부터 무게가 2.3 g 이상 인 흰점박이꽃무지 종령 유충을 8°C에서 30-50일 범위에서 저장할 수 있다고 판단하였다.

The decommissioning of Kori unit 1 is just around the corner. Accordingly, it is required to construct a hot cell facility for decommissioning nuclear power plants to analyze the characteristics of intermediate-level waste and low-level waste generated in the decommissioning process. In this study, a Design Base Accident (DBA) scenario of the facility is developed. To identify and characterize potential hazards at the facility, a Preliminary Fact Sheet (PFS) is filled out and consider external events in consideration of the surrounding site environment. The external event screening and evaluation method is based on the external event evaluation method covered in the probabilistic risk assessment. In PFS, only natural and artificial hazards that may have a meaningful impact on the facility are considered as the sources of the accident, and accident prevention and mitigation systems, etc., which exist in each compartment or facility, are described. Based on PFS and external events, potential hazard assessment is systematically performed using each potential hazards, impact and defense function identified using the preliminary hazard analysis (PHA) methodology. The potential hazard analysis methodology applied to this assessment is a qualitative assessment method consistent with the US DOE Hazard Analysis methodology (DOE 1992b; DOE 1994b). After that, the potential mitigation functions that can be used under normal, abnormal and accident conditions are examined, and the contribution of public and workers to safety is evaluated. The results of the PHA are basic data that prioritize potential hazards and can be used to develop potential accident scenarios. Among potential hazards generally considered for non-reactor facilities, only possible accidents during operation of the facilities are selected as potential hazards. The level of potential hazards is obtained by qualitatively examining the frequency and consequence estimates for each hazard or accident scenario developed in PHA. Based on the results of the potential hazards assessment, representative accidents that require further quantitative analysis are screened. Selected accidents are DBA and are the most dangerous and most significant impacts on workers.
