In this study, we report significant improvements in lithium-ion battery anodes cost and performance, by fabricating nano porous silicon (Si) particles from Si wafer sludge using the metal-assisted chemical etching (MACE) process. To solve the problem of volume expansion of Si during alloying/de-alloying with lithium ions, a layer was formed through nitric acid treatment, and Ag particles were removed at the same time. This layer acts as a core-shell structure that suppresses Si volume expansion. Additionally, the specific surface area of Si increased by controlling the etching time, which corresponds to the volume expansion of Si, showing a synergistic effect with the core-shell. This development not only contributes to the development of high-capacity anode materials, but also highlights the possibility of reducing manufacturing costs by utilizing waste Si wafer sludge. In addition, this method enhances the capacity retention rate of lithium-ion batteries by up to 38 %, marking a significant step forward in performance improvements.

Recently injection mold processing is necessary for the development of efficient solar concentrator system with a Fresnel lenses. Heat transfer mechanism in the Fresnel lens manufacturing process have a significant influence on precision machining and optical performance of solar power generation. In this study, we analyzed the thermal characteristics of temperature and heat flux distributions near the lens for transient molding process using CFD method. Initially for one second fast temperature variation on the upper surface of the lens leads to high heat flux distribution. It is gradually cooled to around 128℃ over a period of 60 seconds which is largely affected by the mold structure and the characteristics of the cooling lines. There is also high heat flux occurred on the lens upper side and lower surfaces with rapid temperature change. These results can be applied as fundamental design data for the manufacturing process in the development of Fresnel lenses.

본 연구는 경남지역의 대나무 숲(솜대 및 왕대)에 대한 입목밀도, 신죽 발생량 및 고사량 등을 추정하기 위하여 수행되었다. 입목밀도와 신죽 발생량 분석을 위한 표준지 수는 299개소 였으며, 고사량 분석을 위한 표준지 수는 255개소 였다. 분석을 위한 추정식은 역다항식, 지수식, 비선형식, 회귀식 등을 다양하게 적용하였으며, 이들의 검정은 적합도지수를 이용하였고, 잔차 검정을 실시하였다. 신죽의 발생량 추정식은 1차 역다항식이 최적인 것으로 나타났으며, 적합도 지수는 0.2622로 나타났다. 현존 입목죽 추정을 위한 최적식은 지수함수식이었으며, 적합도 지수는 0.1963으로 낮게 나타났다. 그리고 고사량 추정식은 현존 입목죽 본수와 신죽 본수를 설명변수로 하는 회귀식으로 도출되었으며, 결정계수는 0.4996인 것으로 나타났다. 이들 식을 경남지역으로 확산시키면, 경남지역 대나무 숲의 연간 평균 입목밀도는 19,309본/ha, 고사량은 1,706본/ha이 될 것으로 추정되었 다. 신죽 발생량 및 현존 입목죽 발생량 추정식의 적합도가 모두 낮게 나타난 것은 현재 관리되지 않는 대나무 숲의 현 상황을 그대로 보여 주는 결과라 생각된다. 그러나 이들 두가지 추정식에 대한 잔차검정에서 일부 구간을 제외하고는 “0”를 중심으로 잔차가 고르게 분포하여 식을 이용함은 가능할 것으로 보였다. 다만 추후 정밀한 현장조사와 모니터링 및 현실을 반영할 수 있는 적합성 높은 식의 도출이 요구된다.

In this study, we undertook detailed experiments to increase hydrogen production efficiency by optimizing the thickness of titanium dioxide (TiO2) thin films. TiO2 films were deposited on p-type silicon (Si) wafers using atomic layer deposition (ALD) technology. The main goal was to identify the optimal thickness of TiO2 film that would maximize hydrogen production efficiency while maintaining stable operating conditions. The photoelectrochemical (PEC) properties of the TiO2 films of different thicknesses were evaluated using open circuit potential (OCP) and linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) analysis. These techniques play a pivotal role in evaluating the electrochemical behavior and photoactivity of semiconductor materials in PEC systems. Our results showed photovoltage tended to improve with increasing thickness of TiO2 deposition. However, this improvement was observed to plateau and eventually decline when the thickness exceeded 1.5 nm, showing a correlation between charge transfer efficiency and tunneling. On the other hand, LSV analysis showed bare Si had the greatest efficiency, and that the deposition of TiO2 caused a positive change in the formation of photovoltage, but was not optimal. We show that oxide tunneling-capable TiO2 film thicknesses of 1~2 nm have the potential to improve the efficiency of PEC hydrogen production systems. This study not only reveals the complex relationship between film thickness and PEC performance, but also enabled greater efficiency and set a benchmark for future research aimed at developing sustainable hydrogen production technologies.

초고성능 콘크리트(UHPC)는 높은 압축강도를 위해 일반콘크리트에 비해 높은 시멘트 및 바인더 함량을 가지고 있다. UHPC 의 시멘트량을 줄이기 위한 연구가 지속적으로 수행되었으며, 그중 플라이애시와 고로슬래그는 각각 20%, 50% 수준까지는 강도 저하 없이 적용 가능하다는 연구가 확인되었다. 본 연구에서는 UHPC 배합에서 시멘트를 플라이애시와 고로슬래그로 치환하여 강도변화 및 유동성 변화를 분석하였다. 압축강도는 플라이애시 치환 실험체가 가장 낮으며, 고로슬래그는 치환 전과 유사한 강도를 보였다. 휨강도 는 고로슬래그, 플라이애시 치환 실험체 모두 감소하였다. 그러나 유동성은 플라이애시, 고로슬래그 실험체 모두 향상되면서 고성능감 수제 저감이 가능한 것을 확인하였다.

초고성능 콘크리트의 시멘트량 저감을 위해 시멘트와 치환하여 사용가능한 시멘트계 재료를 사용한 연구를 사전 조사하여 플라이애시와 고로슬래그를 선정하였다. 시멘트와 실리카흄 조합으로 120 MPa 이상의 압축강도를 보인 배합을 사용해 바인더조합의 변화에 따른 압축강도, 휨강도를 평가하였다. 플 라이애시와 고로슬래그를 사용한 배합은 유동성이 향상되었으며, 플라이애시는 압축강도가 실리카흄만 사용한 경우보다 다소 감소하였으나, 고로슬래그를 사용한 실험체는 실리카흄만 사용한 실험체와 유사 한 결과를 나타내었다.

초고성능 콘크리트의 충전밀도 향상을 위해 잔골재보다 미세한 실리카플라워를 사용하여 물리적 특 성변화를 분석하였다. 평균입경 300㎛의 규사를 100㎛인 실리카플라워로 일부 치환하여 압축강도, 휨 강도 변화와 유동성 변화를 측정하였다. 실리카플라워 사용으로 인해 압축강도와 휨강도가 향상되었으 나 유동성 저하로 인해 동일한 유동성을 확보하기 위해 추가적인 고성능감수제의 투입이 필요하였다. 유동성 저하는 바인더 차이에는 큰 영향을 받지 않았으며, 추가적인 고성능감수제 투입은 유사하게 나 타났다.

The pursuit of sustainable and durable cementitious composites has led to a growing interest in alternative materials that can improve mechanical performance while reducing CO2 emissions. Nanomaterials, in particular, offer promising avenues due to their unique properties, including high surface area to volume ratio and increased reactivity. This study investigates the efficacy of Cellulose Nanofibers (CNF) in enhancing the durability of mortar exposed to sulfate attacks and alkali-silica reactions (ASR). Both MgSO4 and Na2SO4 solutions were employed to simulate sulfate attacks, while the role of CNF in mitigating ASR was also evaluated. Results indicate that CNF incorporation positively impacts the resistance of mortar against sulfate attacks and ASR, paving the way for eco-friendly and durable cement-based structures with extended service life.

The significance of this study lies in addressing critical issues prevalent in the worldwide construction sector, particularly concerning the durability and sustainability of cement-based materials. Plain cement composites commonly suffer from deficiencies in tensile strength and strain capacity, resulting in the formation of nano-cracks under relatively low tensile loads. These nano- cracks pose a significant challenge to the longevity and resilience of cement matrices, contributing to structural degradation and reduced service life of infrastructure. To mitigate these challenges, the integration of cellulose nanofibers (CNF) as reinforcements in cement composites presents a promising solution. CNF, renowned for their exceptional material properties including high stiffness, tensile strength, and corrosion resistance, offer the potential to significantly enhance the mechanical performance and durability of cement-based materials. Through systematic experimentation, this study investigates the effects of CNF reinforcement on the mechanical properties of cement composites. By leveraging ultrasonically dispersion techniques, CNF extracted from bamboo, broad leaf, and kenaf are uniformly dispersed within the cement matrix at varying concentrations. Compressive and flexural tests are subsequently conducted to evaluate the impact of CNF on the strength characteristics of the cement composites. By elucidating the efficacy of CNF reinforcement through rigorous experimentation, this study aims to provide valuable insights into the development of construction materials with improved durability and sustainability. Ultimately, this research contributes to addressing critical challenges in the construction industry, offering potential solutions to enhance the performance and longevity of cement-based infrastructure.

In this study, an experimental analysis of noise reduction in road traffic by applying the Micro Grooving technique to concrete highway pavements is explored. Initiated in 1984 to address the aging and damage issues observed in South Korea's concrete highways, Micro Grooving is known for creating fine grooves on the cement pavement surface to increase friction, prevent hydroplaning, and inhibit ice formation, while reducing vehicle friction noise by 3∼5dB(A). It is determined from noise measurement results that the application of the Micro Grooving method can be expected to reduce roadside noise and enhance the safety of drivers' driving experience.

Internal combustion engine is the main source of environmental pollutants and therefore advanced technology is required to reduce harmful elements from the exhaust gases all over the world. Especially, when the exhaust gas is released from the automotive muffler, exhaust noise has many bad influence on the surrounding environment. In order to reduce the exhaust noise, it is necessary that automotive muffler must be designed for best exhaust efficiency. The sound insulation room was installed for the analysis of an acoustics characteristics of the noise from automotive muffler, in this study. Exhaust gas noise, noise distribution characteristics, pressure and temperature of exhaust gas were investigated with the change of annulus temperature of air cooled annulus automotive muffler and cooled annulus automotive muffler. The following results were obtained with this study. From the frequency analysis of automotive muffler, high noise distribution was observed in the range 100~2000Hz. It means that the noise in this range has an dominate influence for the overall noise. Noise reduction of automotive muffler was affected by the temperature of annulus. It is caused the result that the high temperature and pressure of exhaust gas are changed lower by the drop of annulus temperature. The tendencies of noise, the temperature and pressure of exhaust gas are similar to the performance curve of engine. Exhaust gas pressure is determined by the r.p.m. of engine and affected by the cooling performance of automotive muffler.

In this study, we designed and manufactured a large angular contact ball bearing (LACBB) with low deformation using JIS-SUJ2 steel and analyzed changes in its structural characteristics and chemical composition upon heat treatment. The bearing was produced by hot forging and heat treatment including a quenching and tempering (Q/T) process, and its properties were analyzed using 4 mm thick specimens. A difference in the size distribution of the carbide in the outer and inner parts of the bearing was observed and it was confirmed that large and non-uniform carbide was distributed in the inner part of the bearing. After heat treatment, the hardness value of the outer part increased from 13.4 HRC to 61 HRC and the inner part increased from 8.0 HRC to 59.7 HRC. As a result of X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements, the volume fraction of the retained austenite contained in the outer part was calculated to be 3.5~4.8 % and the inner part was calculated to be 3.6~5.0 %. The surface chemical composition and the content of chemical bonds were quantified through X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and a decrease in C=C bonds and an increase in Fe-C bonds were confirmed.

Sentiment analysis is a method used to comprehend feelings, opinions, and attitudes in text, and it is essential for evaluating consumer feedback and social media posts. However, creating sentiment dictionaries, which are necessary for this analysis, is complex and time-consuming because people express their emotions differently depending on the context and domain. In this study, we propose a new method for simplifying this procedure. We utilize syntax analysis of the Korean language to identify and extract sentiment words based on the Reason-Sentiment Pattern, which distinguishes between words expressing feelings and words explaining why those feelings are expressed, making it applicable in various contexts and domains. We also define sentiment words as those with clear polarity, even when used independently and exclude words whose polarity varies with context and domain. This approach enables the extraction of explicit sentiment expressions, enhancing the accuracy of sentiment analysis at the attribute level. Our methodology, validated using Korean cosmetics review datasets from Korean online shopping malls, demonstrates how a sentiment dictionary focused solely on clear polarity words can provide valuable insights for product planners. Understanding the polarity and reasons behind specific attributes enables improvement of product weaknesses and emphasis on strengths. This approach not only reduces dependency on extensive sentiment dictionaries but also offers high accuracy and applicability across various domains.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to verify the influences on the compactibility evaluation of WMA (Warm Mix Asphalt) mixture by laboratory experiments. METHODS : Two types of WMA additives (chemical and wax types) and two types of compactors (marshall and gyratory) are used in laboratory experiments. In addition, two types of WMA processes (wet and dry) are tested to verify the impact of manufacturing process. RESULTS : The laboratory results show that the effects of compaction method on compactibility are different depending on the type of additive. The compaction method has a significant impact on WMA mixture with chemical type additive to extent that it determines whether required criterion is satisfied, but only little on WMA mixture with wax type additive. In the case of wet process for WMA mixture manufacturing, it is hard to assess the air void of HMA mixture made of same asphalt binder used in WMA mixture since the additive has already been added in asphalt binder. And the test results show that air voids of HMA mixture vary within properties of asphalt binder. CONCLUSIONS : Through this study, it is found that compactibility of WMA mixture is affected by the compaction methods depending on the additive types and by the WMA mixture manufacturing process. Therefore, those are recommended to be considered when evaluating compactibility of WMA mixtures.

본 연구는 관수조건에 따른 지피식물의 생육특성을 파악하고 수분 스트레스 후 생육 회복력을 평가하 기 위하여 수행되었다. 지피식물로 많이 사용되는 초본류 4종을 대상으로 피복의 목적을 달성할 수 있 는 적정 식재간격을 도출하였으며, 또한 관수처리 유형에 따른 생육 및 피복률의 변화를 분석하였다. 식물마다 피복효과를 달성하기 위한 적정 식재간격에 차이가 있었다. 돌단풍은 30～35cm, 송엽국은 30～40cm간격, 꽃잔디는 40cm이상, 돌나물은 20cm미만의 식재간격이 효과적이다. 관수처리에 따른 생육특성을 분석한 결과 관수가 지속적으로 이루어지면 초장이 길지만 처리기간 동안 생육의 변화는 거의 없었다. 피복률은 관수처리와 식물에 따라 차이가 있다. 송엽국과 돌단풍은 무관수 20일 후 관수가 이루어지면 피복률도 회복되었으며, 꽃잔디는 관수가 이루어지고 나서 시간이 경과된 후에 피복률을 회복하였다. 피복이 전체적으로 이루어진 이후에는 토양 수분부족에 의한 피복률의 변화가 거의 없었 으나 피복 초기에 수분이 공급되지 않으면 피복에 어려움이 있다. 꽃잔디, 송엽국, 돌단풍은 일정기간 무관수가 지속되더라도 다시 관수가 이루어지면 회복이 될 수 있다. 즉 식물관리에 있어서 종 마다 차이 는 있으나 관수관리가 중요하며, 일정기간 무관수 후 관수가 이루어지면 생육이 회복될 수 있다.

Research is currently being conducted in the field of carbon reduction–related construction technologies, focusing on using industrial waste as a replacement for cement or as aggregates. However, the existing research is limited as carbon reduction is only achieved by reducing the amount of cement used. With the imperative of carbon neutrality, the development of carbon reduction technology is also necessary in the construction field. To address this, we plan to develop carbon reduction technology by introducing biochar—a carbon-sequestration material—into construction practices. Therefore, this study aims to comprehend the effect of the carbonization degree of biochar on the hydration reaction of cement, emphasizing the development of carbon-sequestration construction technology. Therefore, physical and chemical properties, such as surface and crystal structures, were analyzed to determine the effect of varying carbonization degrees on cement composites, contributing valuable insights into the broader field of sustainable construction.
