In this study, the glass melting properties are evaluated to examine the possibility of using refused coal ore as replacement for ceramic materials. To fabricate the glass, refused coal ore with calcium carbonate and sodium carbonate in it (which are added as supplementary materials) is put into an alumina crucible, melted at 1,200 ~ 1,500℃ for 1 hr, and then annealed at 600℃ for 2 hrs. We fabricate a black colored glass. The properties of the glass are measured by XRD (X-ray diffractometry) and TG-DTA (thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis). Glass samples manufactured at more than 1,300℃ with more than 60 % of refused coal ore are found by XRD to be non-crystalline in nature. In the case of the glass sample with 40 % of refused coal ore, from the sample melted at 1,200℃, a sodium aluminum phosphate peak, a disodium calcium silicate peak, and an unknown peak are observed. On the other hand, in the sample melted at 1,300℃, only the sodium aluminum phosphate peak and unknown peak are observed. And, peak changes that affect crystallization of the glass according to melting temperature are found. Therefore, it is concluded that glass with refused coal ore has good melting conditions at more than 1,200℃ and so can be applied to the construction field for materials such as glass tile, foamed glass panels, etc.

본 연구에서는 chlorogenic acid 이성질체 9종과 arbutin을 분석하기 위하여, 전처리 과정과 UHPLC-MS/MS 동시 분석 조건을 확립하였다. UHPLC-MS/MS에서 C18 column을 사용하여 15분 동안 분석할 수 있는 용매 조성을 만들고, 10가지 물질에 대한 정량, 정성 이온을 선택하여 negative 모드에서 분석하는 동시분석법을 확립하였고 과일류를 대상으로 추출, 진탕 추출, 초음파 추출, 원심분리, 농축 등의 과정을 거치는 전처리법을 개발하였다. 기기분석과 전처리법에 대한 유효성은 특이성, 직선성, 정확성, 정밀성 그리고 검출한계 및 정량한계 등을 통하여 확인하였다. 회수율은 48.1-120.3%, intraday precision (RSD)는 0.4-7.9%, interday precision (RSD)는 0.0-7.2%로 확인되었다. 따라서, 본 연구에서 확립한 동시분석방법은 과일류 중 chlorogenic acid와 arbutin을 효과적으로 분석하는데 유용할 것으로 사료된다.

In the present study, we have investigated the effect of sintering process conditions on the stability of the austenite phase in the nanocrystalline Fe-5wt.%Mn-0.2wt.%C alloy. The stability and volume fraction of the austenite phase are the key factors that determine the mechanical properties of FeMnC alloys, because strain-induced austenitemartensite transformation occurs under the application of an external stress at room temperature. Nanocrystalline Fe- 5wt.%Mn-0.2wt.%C samples are fabricated using the spark plasma sintering method. The stability of the austenite phase in the sintered samples is evaluated by X-ray diffraction analysis and hardness test. The volume fraction of austenite at room temperature increases as the sample is held for 10 min at the sintering temperature, because of carbon diffusion in austenite. Moreover, water quenching effectively prevents the formation of cementite during cooling, resulting in a higher volume fraction of austenite. Furthermore, it is found that the hardness is influenced by both the austenite carbon content and volume fraction.

청계천에 서식하는 어류 군집의 공간적 변이와 환경과의 관계를 측정하기 위해, 청계천 내 6개 지점을 대상으로 2년간 (2014~2015년) 이화학적 요인, 서식처 환경, 어류 군집을 조사하였다. 어류 군집의 공간적 변이는 지점-종 군 집 데이터 메트릭스를 기반으로 한 베타다양성 분석을 통해 정량적으로 제시하였다. 또한 청계천 내 전체 군집 변이 값 (베타다양성)과 함께 각각의 지점이 청계천 전체 베타다양도에 기여하는 값 (LCBD, Local Contribution to Beta Diversity)도 계산하였다. 데이터 분석의 기반이 되는 지점-종 군집 데이터 테이블은 출현-비출현, 풍부도, 헤링거 변환 값의 세 가지 형태로 적용하였고, 해당 데이터 형태에 따른 베타다양성과 지점별 변이 영향을 각각 계산하여 비교하였다. 헤링거 변환을 통해 계산된 베타다양성 값은 출현-비출현 정보나 풍부도를 바탕으로 한 분석보다 큰 값을 보여주어 공간적 변이를 가장 잘 보여주는 것으로 나타났다. 각 지점별 군집 변이 기여도 (LCBD)는 출현-비출현 정보와 해링거 변환을 통한 분석이 유사한 경향을 보여주었다. 자료의 정규성을 가지기 어려운 어류 군집 자료의 경우 풍부도를 이용한 공간 변이 분석은 적절하지 않은 것으로 판단된다. 추가적으로 다양한 환경 요인 및 군집 지수와 베타다양성 기여도 값의 관계를 상관분석을 통해 나타내었다. 해당 지점의 알파다양성 지수와 베타다양성 기여도가 높은 음의 상관관계를 보였고 이는 선행 연구와 유사한 결과이다. 본 연구에 적용한 방법은 매트릭스 형태의 자료를 대상으로 베타다양성 계산과 지점별 군집 변이 기여도를 수치화하는 데 유용한 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of mixed or split-sex feeding on growth performance and behavior of Korean native chickens. Three variants of the sex ratio, FO (female only), MO (male only) and MI (mixed) were tested in Korean native chickens (Hanhyop 3) that were between the ages of 7 and 91 days. Body weight gain was the highest (p<0.05) in the MO treatment and the lowest (p<0.05) in the MI treatment. The feed intake (FI) of birds in the MO treatment was higher (p<0.05) than that of birds in the MI treatment during days 14-21, also MO treatment was higher (p<0.05) than that of birds in the MI treatment during days 21-28. However, the FI of birds in the MI group was higher (p<0.05) than that of birds in FO treatment during days 35-42. The behavioral frequency of walking, drinking, and aggressive pecking were not affected by sex ratio treatment. The behavioral frequency of feeding was higher in the FO treatment than that of birds in the other treatments. The comfort time of birds in the MI treatment was longer (p<0.05) than that of birds in the other treatments. The behavioral frequency of pecking was higher in the MO treatment than that of birds in the other treatments. The study suggests that when male and female Korean native chickens are reared together, sex ratio can influence growth performance and behavior frequency.

PURPOSES: We studied the signal operation method with a focus on swift evacuation of people from disaster-affected urban areas. METHODS: We selected Yeouido, which is at a high risk of being affected by natural disasters, as the urban area in our study. The analysis time for the Yeouido network was divided into four stages of six hours each, based on the traffic characteristics. The disaster scenarios were divided into small-scale and large-scale, and the analysis time and the disaster scale were set as the variables. RESULTS: From the analysis, it was found that the evacuation efficiencies were similar in the cases of entry control and increasing the green light duration for the main direction. However, the most effective approach is to apply entry control in case of disasters occurring at dawn and in the evening, with relatively low traffic volume. The most effective method is to increase the green light duration for the main direction of the main line in the time zone. CONCLUSIONS: As the scale of the disaster and the traffic volume increase, there is a limit on the extent to which the evacuation time could be reduced through signal operation. Therefore, signal control is most effective when the traffic volume is low and the disaster scale is small.

PURPOSES : The recent increase in the application of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) calls for more research focusing the evaluation of pavement performance. For this matter, this study aims at evaluating pavement performance using the application rate of RAP. METHODS: To obtain mixtures with RAP aggregate application rates of 10%, 25% and 30%, the gyratory compaction method was applied regarding the mix design process for determining the optimum asphalt content (OAC). Additionally, the in-direct tension (IDT) test, deformation strength test (DST), tensile strength ratio (TSR) test and dynamic modulus (DM) test were conducted to verify the effect of RAP application rate on pavement performance. Based on the above-mentioned results, performance evaluation was done to these RAP application of design or utilization to construction site. The performance evaluation analysis was performed using the Korean Pavement Research Program (KPRP) of second level for the pavement design. RESULTS: From the DST results, the rutting resistance was improved as the application rates of RAP were increased. Additionally, all the IDT and toughness results satisfied the quality standards of the asphalt concrete pavement. However, the results did not conform with the tensile strength ratio standards with the application rates of RAP of 25% and 30%. This means that the standards, which should be considered when the addictive regeneration material is applied to the mixture when the RAP application rate is over 25%, were reflected. CONCLUSIONS : The predicted performance decreased from the second level performance analysis with the increase in the RAP application rates. All the cases satisfied the design standards (fatigue cracking, rutting depth and international roughness index (IRI)). However, the results of them closed to these standards (up to 94% (Fatigue)).
