The crack propagation on lining is compared for 10 years with previous length of crack in PISD(Precise Inspection for Safety and Diagnosis) depending on the width from 0.2mm to 1mm. Analyzed crack on horseshoe single tunnel is increasing in proportion to square time and linear increment. In this proposal, the extent of crack propagation can be estimated during the elapsed time. The tendency of crack can also be used in evaluating the life cycle of tunnel.

The purpose of this study is to estimate structural integrity evaluation of the concrete pontoon structure when the boundary condition and time changes. The structural integrity evaluation is conducted through the system identification method using dynamic properties. Dynamic properties are extracted with the structures when it is located on the ground and submerged in the sea. The variation of the structural stiffness due to a certain period time is discussed.

Purpose – This study aims to analyze time use of employees to see how they make a balance between work and family. We tried to analyze time use and time pressure of married paid workers in order to understand their work and family balance. Methodology – Time use was compared by employment types and time pressure groups. We analyzed the factors influencing time pressure, dividing two employment types. The data were selected from the 2009 Korean Time Use Survey. Results – Those who feel time pressure among full-timers spent more time on work and housework and less time on personal care and leisure than those who do not feel time pressure. Logit analysis on time pressure showed that full-timers feel more time pressure than part-timers do. Gender, age, education, income, day-off type, and the presence of preschool children were significant variables on time pressure. Conclusion – These results imply that time use and time pressure for married paid workers are affected by employment types. Flexibility of labor needs to enhance work and family balance for females who have preschool children.

Throughout the economic development era of Korea, migration occurred within a spatial hierarchy, with upward flows from rural areas to urban. The concept of step migration is a typical theory to explain these upward migration flows. Recent migration data and trends, however, indicate that migration-pattern regime shows strongly opposite-direction flows, with many of the major migration flowing downward on this national-spatial hierarchy, away from urban areas. In this study, we examine the most recent structure of migration flows up and down within the national-spatial hierarchy. We define seven tiers to tabulate origin-destination migration flows from population density of local administrative districts for the period 2001-2014, and then analyze the migration patterns between the tiers over time. The results show differentiated patterns of migration within the national-spatial hierarchy over time including specific states of migrants’ life cycles.

There is a need to analyze unconfined groundwater behavior since the demand of groundwater use has been increasing. While unconfined groundwater temperature is tend to be affected by air temperature, it is hard to find an empirical study in South Korea. In this research, we try to determine the relationship between daily average air temperature and daily average groundwater temperature by time-sequential analysis of groundwater monitoring wells in Galshin basin in Yesan-Gun, Chungcheongnam-Do. In addition, models to estimate groundwater temperature from air temperature were developed. In this research 101-day moving average method with measured air temperature is used to estimate groundwater temperature. To verify the developed model, estimated values of average groundwater temperature with 101 moving average are compared to the measured data from September 10 2007 to September 9 2008. And, Nash-Stucliff Efficiency and Coefficient of Determination were 0.970 and 0.976, therefore it was concluded that the model allowing groundwater temperature estimation from air temperature is with reasonable applicability.

Purpose: The aims of this study was to provide problem solving case by describing the adversities and corresponding adaptation means of PST within limited time schedule for the National Children’s Sports Meet. Methods: Three hours of PST per week for two consecutive weeks was administered to 17 youth athletes participating in National Children's Sports Meet. Results: Although some adversities were raised, real competition results were quite successful with more gains in gold medal and new record set. In addition, athletes and administration officers were quite satisfied with PST program. Some lessons obtained from this case were also extracted. Conclusion: Although results firstly showed the effectiveness of PST program, this result does not necessarily indicate the cause-and-effect of the PST program. Limitation including this warning, implications and some suggestions were made for future research.

This study investigated the association between PM2.5 concentrations obtained with portable real-time monitors and those obtained with gravimetric methods in national urban air-quality monitoring sites in Seoul, South Korea. We used the SidePak AM510 Personal Aerosol Monitor (TSI Inc., 500 Cardigan Road Shoreview, MN) and DustTrak DRX 8533 (TSI Inc., 500 Cardigan Road Shoreview, MN) as portable real-time monitors for measuring PM2.5 concentrations and compared these values with those measured with the PMS-103 or SEQ 47/50 models operated by Federal Reference Method (FRM) or the European Committee for Standardization(ECS), respectively, in national urban air-quality monitoring sites in Seoul. Measurements were conducted every other day in the winter and spring seasons of 2014. The estimated daily mean concentrations of PM2.5 ranged between 13.4 and 161.9 μg/m3 using AM 510 and between 22.0 and 156.0 μg/m3 using DustTrak. The Spearman correlation coefficient for PM2.5 concentrations between AM 510 and gravimetric results was 0.99, and the correlation between DustTrak and gravimetric results was 0.87. The correction factor suggested was 0.42 and 0.29 for AM 510 and DustTrak, respectively. We found that PM2.5 concentrations measured with real-time monitors could overestimate true PM2.5 concentrations and therefore the application of a correction factor (0.43) is strongly suggested for quantification when Real-time monitors were operated of PM2.5 levels at urban atmospheric environment of South Korea.

In Korea, many drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs) have introduced and are going to introduce biological activated carbon (BAC) process to treated dissolved organic matter (DOM) in water which are difficult to control by conventional water treatment processes. Even though more decade have passed since introduced BAC in Korea, most of BAC operating method was followed to the modified sand filter operating manuals. In case of BAC backwashing, many DWTPs set the periods of backwashing about 3∼5 days. In this study, we have collected data to set the proper BAC backwashing periods from both pilot-plant and real DWTPs. We had measured heterotrophic plate count (HPC), turbidity, water temperature, dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and headloss from just after backwashing to the next backwashing time for two years. Considering water quality factors, the BAC run time from backwashing to the next backwashing could extend more 30 days without water quality deterioration if the head loss do not reach the limited level which depends on each BAC facilities’ condition. It means the BAC treated water could be saved in the proportion of extended the backwashing period to the existing backwashing period.

Small-sized tuber of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas Lam.) is more preferred by Korean consumers, because it is convenient to eat with hands, and can easily be steamed or roasted in small pan as a healthy snack for a small family. The present study was aimed to investigate the effect of highdensity plantings and harvesting times on production of smallsized tuber (50~200 g). Four varieties (‘Annobeny’, ‘Daeyumi’, ‘Shinzami’, and ‘Yeonhwangmi’) were planted in 2-row zigzag high-density planting (75×30 cm, A; 75×25 cm, B) and 1-row planting (75×25 cm, control) covered with black vinyl film on May 23th, 2014. Marketable yields and small-sized tuber yields were compared between 120- and 150-day harvesting. Vine length and fresh weight per plant were significantly decreased in 2-row planting A and B plots compared to the control at 120 days after planting. Weight of tuber per plant, mean weight of tuber and number of tuber per plant were significantly decreased in 120-day harvesting of A and B plots than in the control. Marketable yields per 10a were increased by 17% (2.4 ton‧10a -1 ) and 8% (2.6 ton‧10a -1 ) in 120-day harvesting of A and B plots compared to the control (2.4 ton‧10a -1 ), and those were largely increased by 29% (4.0 ton‧10a -1 ) and 26% (3.9 ton‧10a -1 ) in 150-day harvesting than in the control (3.1 ton‧10a -1 ). Proportions of small size tuber (50~200 g) were increased by about 65% in 150-day harvesting of A and B plots compared to the control (55.3%). Small-size tuber yield and marketable yield were highly increased in 150-day harvesting of 2-row zigzag high-density planting A (75×30 cm).

Salvia miltiorrhiza has been used for treating heart and liver disease. In the present study, the influences of temperature on photosynthetical capacity of S. miltiorrhiza under controlled cultivation environment using growth chamber were investigated because of providing information about growth and secondary metabolite synthesis. And effect of harvesting time on growth properties and constituents such as salvianolic acid B, cryptotanshinone, tanshinone I, tanshinone IIA were evaluated. Maximum photosynthesis rate (5.102 μmol CO2/m2/s) and net apparent quantum yield (0.147 μmol CO2/m2/s), stomatal conductance (0.035 mmol/m2/s) and water use efficiency (7.108 μmol CO2/mmol H2O) was highest at 20℃. Results of chlorophyll fluorescence showed that elevated temperature had contributed to reduce a quantum yield and electron flux in photosystem. This result demonstrated that favorable temperature condition was determined at 20℃. Contents of salvianolic acid B, cryptotanshinone, tanshinone I and tanshinone IIA was highest in root sample harvested at 20 March, whereas growth and yield of S. miltiorrhiza had no significant differences with harvesting time. Therefore, this study shows that temperature play an important role in photosynthetic activity and harvesting time have influence upon accumulation of constituents in root of S. miltiorrhiza.

Using of the recycled aggregates is strongly promoted to use the national resources efficiently and enhance the recycling rate of construction wastes. However, the negative impact is expected by the alkalinity elution characteristic to the water quality and soil ecology in the region where could be contacted by water like ground water, river, area nearby coast, and etc. For this reason, we developed the pH test method to use the recycled aggregate in the drainage layer and analyse the pH concentration of the sort of time change and particle size. By the ‘Korean Standard Method for Waste’, the pH concentration was ranged from 10.78 to 11.72, by the ‘Korean Standard Method for Soil’, the pH concentration was ranged from 10.73 to 11.97, by the developed pH test in this study, the pH concentration was ranged from 10.82 to 11.71. There was no difference in the pH concentration in relation to the stirring time and the spread of particle size.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine whether yaw head rotational reaction time and premotor time to visual stimuli in central and peripheral visual fields would improve with practice. Method: The task was to make a complete horizontal head rotation regardless of target eccentricity in two response conditions: TOWARD and AWAY conditions. In the TOWARD condition subjects rotated their head in the direction ipsilateral to target appearance for a congruent S-R response. In the AWAY condition subjects rotated their head contralateral to target appearance for an incongruent S-R response. All subjects participated in the following sequence of testing and training: (1) Pre-test, (2) Training (6 days over 2 weeks), and (3) Post-test. Measures associated with yaw head rotations involved with reaction time, premotor time and electromechanical delay. Results: Results revealed shorter yaw head rotation RT in TOWARD and AWAY conditions after 6 days of practice in TOWARD and AWAY conditions. We found the greater observations especially for the centrally placed target. Conclusion: These results suggest greater performance improvements were observed for most subjects when practice and testing were within the same condition, indicating support for the well-known learning specificity phenomena.

This paper presents an analysis technique considering double-layer concrete and time-dependent diffusion behavior, and the results are compared with those from the previous test results through reverse analysis. Through consideration of time effect, the relative error decreases, which shows more reasonable results. Utilizing the diffusion coefficients from Life365, relative errors increases and it needs deeper penetration depth(e) and lower diffusion coefficient ratio(D1/D2) due to higher diffusion coefficient.

This study is, when we pour the concrete, doing bonding shear performance evaluation to search the influence about an adhesive interface by a generated cold joint with a retardation time. In conclusion, this experiment shows that the higher a compressive strength of the concrete is, the higher a reduction ratio of the bonding shear strength is, and the instance of a none agitation and a compaction with 15 minutes of a retardation time are the lowest influence in a whole of the results; each of the reduction ratio of the bonding shear strength is approximately 4.5%.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of boron compounds on the setting time and compressive strength of mortar, which is well known materials effective to capture thermal neutrons but cause delay in the strength development at early ages. Among various types of boron compounds, a boric acid was mainly considered in this study depending on the replacement level in mortar.

The study was conducted on the effects of time of defoliation on fruit quality of pear (Pyrus pyrifolia Nakai) trees, managing with low-pesticides, and regrowth of stem cuttings in vitro. Treatments included for 40% of uniform defoliation at early-August, end-August, and early-September, as well as control (no defoliation). Defoliation at early-September and control increased growth of water sprouts as well as concentrations of carbohydrates, total nitrogen, and free sugar in one-year old shoots. Defoliation at early-September and control increased fruit yield and mean fruit weight, with high soluble solids content and fruit surface color of a* observed for both defoliation at end-August and early-September. Defoliation at early-August increased rates of electrolyte leakage in stem cuttings at -18℃ in vitro. There were no significantly different for germination rates of the cuttings between the treatments at -18 and -21℃ in vitro, with the highest germination of the cuttings observed for defoliation at early-September and control at -27℃. Therefore, orchard management should be performed to be minimized for defolia-tion of the spur leaves until end-August, causing from precipitation and pests.
