변색기의 수준별 야간 고온이 포도 ‘거봉’의 과피색 발현에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위해 시기별 과피색 변화, 과피 내 안토시아닌 및 식물호르몬 ABA와 GA 함량을 분석하였다. 변색기 20일 동안의 야간 24, 27°C 처리에 의해 ‘거봉’ 포도의 과피색 불량이 나타났으며, 야간 온도가 높을수록 과피색 발현이 더욱 억제되었다. 수확기 과실 품질을 분석한 결과, 야간 21°C 처리구에 비해 24, 27°C 처리구의 과방중, 과립중, 당도가 감소하였다. 야간 21°C 처리구의 과피에서 만개 후 50일부 터 안토시아닌이 축적되기 시작했고, 개별 안토시아닌 중 Mal 과 함께 총 안토시아닌 함량이 수확기까지 지속적으로 증가하였다. 야간 21°C 처리구를 기준으로 과피의 총 안토시아닌이 야간 24, 27°C 처리에 의해 감소하였으며, 개별 안토시아닌 중에서는 Peo를 제외한 나머지 안토시아닌의 감소 경향이 뚜렷하였다. 식물호르몬 ABA는 야간 21°C 처리구의 과피에서 변색기에 최대값을 보이고 다시 수확기까지 감소하였는데, 이러한 ABA 함량의 증가는 야간 24, 27°C 처리에 의해 감소 하는 경향이었다. GA는 변색기 과피에서 급격하게 감소하여 수확기까지 낮은 함량으로 유지되었는데, 야간 기온이 낮을수록 빠르게 감소하였다. 야간 21°C 처리구 과피에서 ABA/GA 값은 만개 후 60일에 최대값을 보이고 다시 수확기까지 감소하였지만, 이 증가 양상이 야간 고온에 의해 감소하며 과피 안토시아닌 축적과 동일한 경향을 보이며 변화하였다. 따라서 변색기 야간의 24°C 이상의 고온은 ‘거봉’ 포도의 과피색 발현을 억제하며, 이는 식물호르몬 ABA, GA의 비율 변화, 과실 당도 감소로 인한 총 안토시아닌 함량 및 조성 변화 때문으로 판단되었다.

본 실험은 고온기 파프리카 재배에서 CaCl2 엽면 살포에 의한 배꼽썩음과 발생과 경감 효과를 알아보고자 과실 크기에 따른 살포 시기, 횟수 및 시간에 미치는 영향을 구명하였다. CaCl2(Ca 0.4%) 엽면 살포는 6월 3일 부터 7월 1일 까지 방아다리 위 4－9 마디의 착과 과실과 잎에 식물체 1주당 350mL/ 회를 처리하였다. CaCl2를 7일 간격으로 4주간 엽면 살포 후 수확한 파프리카의 Ca 함량은 배꼽썩음과 과실의 과폭 11－ 20mm 처리에서 가장 낮았고, pedicel > stem-end > middle, blossom-end 순으로 낮아졌다. 정상과 과실의 Ca 함량은 과폭 31－40mm 처리에서 뚜렷하게 증가하였고 배꼽썩음과와 비교할 때 78% 높았다. 과폭 21mm 이상의 과실 middle과 blossom-end 부위 Ca 함량은 정상과에서는 19.8%－28.8% 였으며, 배꼽썩음과에서는 15.7%－18.5%였다. 과폭 31－ 40mm 처리에서 배꼽썩음과 발생율은 60% 이상으로 급격히 증가하였다. 과폭 크기별 엽면 살포 처리에 따른 파프리카 과중은 차이가 없었으며, 상품과율은 21－30mm 크기에서 가 장 높았고, 당도는 과폭 11－30mm 처리에서 높았다. 과폭 21 －30mm 파프리카에 7일 동안 CaCl2를 3회 엽면 살포하였을 때 세포벽 결합(cell wall-bound, CWB) Ca 함량은 가장 높았고, 배꼽썩음과 발생율은 6.3%로 가장 낮았다. CaCl2 엽면 살포 처리 10일 후 파프리카의 CWB Ca 함량은 대조구에 비해 모든 처리에서 2.9배－3.5배 증가하였다. 하루 중 1회 시간을 달리하여 CaCl2 엽면 살포하였을 때, 7일째 엽소현상이 오전 9시 30분 처리에서 부터 오후 17시 처리 까지 관찰되었고, proline 함량은 처리 시간이 늦어질수록 증가되었다. 따라서 파프리카 여름재배시 배꼽썩음과 발생 경감을 위한 CaCl2 엽면 살포 방법은 과폭 21－30mm인 시기에 3일 간격으로 2회 －3회, 오전 8시 이전에 살포 하는 것이 적합하리라 본다.

The increase in temperature due to climate warming is predicted to affect crop yields in the future. Until now, various types of OTC (open top chamber) that simulate the future climate condition have been developed and used to study the effect of temperature increase due to global warming on maize growth. However, in most OTCs, high equipment and maintenance costs were required to artificially increase the temperature. This study was carried to develop a cost-effective and simple OTC suitable for climate warming experiments for forage maize. Three octagonal OTCs with a height of 3.5 m × a diameter of 4.08 m and a partially covered top were constructed. The lower part of OTC covered film was opened at a height of 26 cm (OTC-26), 12 cm (OTC-12) from the ground surface, or not opened (0 cm, OTC-0). Mean air temperatures during the daytime on a sunny day in OTC-0, OTC-12 and OTC-26 increased to 3.23℃, 1.33℃, and 0.89℃, respectively, compared to the ambient control plot. For a pilot test, forage maize, ‘Gwangpyeongok’ was grown at OTCs and ambient control plots. As a result, in the late maize vegetative growth phase (July 30), the plant height was increased more than 45% higher than the ambient control plot in all OTC plots, and the stem diameter also increased in all OTC plots. These results indicate that it is possible to set the temperature inside the OTC by adjusting the opening height of the lower end of the OTC, and it can be applied to study the response of forage maize to elevated temperature. An OTC, with its advantages of energy free, low maintenance cost, and simple temperature setting, will be helpful in studying maize growth responsiveness to climate warming in the future.

The impact properties of two austenitic Fe-23Mn-0.4C steels with different Al contents for cryogenic applications are investigated in this study. The 4Al steel consists mostly of austenite single-phase microstructure, while the 5Al steel exhibits a two-phase microstructure of austenite and delta-ferrite with coarse and elongated grains. Charpy impact test results reveal that the 5Al steel with duplex phases of austenite and delta-ferrite exhibits a ductile-to-brittle transition behavior, while the 4Al steel with only single-phase austenite has higher absorbed energy over 100 J at -196 oC. The SEM fractographs of Charpy impact specimens show that the 4Al steel has a ductile dimple fracture regardless of test temperature, whereas the 5Al steel fractured at -100 oC and -196 oC exhibits a mixed fracture mode of both ductile and brittle fractures. Additionally, quasi-cleavage fracture caused by crack propagation of delta-ferrite phase is found in some regions of the brittle fracture surface of the 5Al steel. Based on these results, the delta-ferrite phase hardly has a significant effect on absorbed energy at room-temperature, but it significantly deteriorates low-temperature toughness by acting as the main site of the propagation of brittle cracks at cryogenic-temperatures.

Recently, there has been growing interest in harmful substances released from household items such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and this has increased people’s environmental awareness. In this study, adhesives and manicures were used as samples of indoor household goods and formaldehyde emission and tested over time under temperature conditions of 15oC, 25oC, 35oC, and 45oC. The small chamber method as the indoor air quality process test method was employed and used to evaluate the concentration of formaldehyde emissions. As a result, formaldehyde emissions gradually decreased over time in both tests using adhesives and manicures. The cumulative emission showed a logarithmic function over time, and the formaldehyde can be released for longer periods of time at lower temperature conditions. The logarithmic value and response time showed linear relationships, and it can be inferred that the formaldehyde was released from the sample through the first order reaction. Furthermore, the relationship between temperature and velocity constants which was determined using the Arenius linear equation showed that the reaction rate of formaldehyde can be estimated by a temperature change.

This study developed a scenario to understand the reaction rate and operational time according to RTI value of rate of rise detector in each type in case of fire mattress. In the results of analyzing the reaction rate and operational time of detector in each scenario, in case when installing a single detector, the elevated temperature per minute was raised to 8℃/min ~ 9℃/min. In case when installing two detectors, it was raised to 9℃/min ~ 10℃/min. In case when installing three detectors, it was raised to 10℃/min. The horizontal distance between detector and mattress was 1.8m~2.5m. Whenever the number of detectors was increased, the horizontal distance was decreased. The operational time of detector was within maximum 540 seconds and minimum 420 seconds. As the research tasks in the future, there should be the researches on the effects of reaction rate of detector on the evacuation in case of fire through the result value of RSET by setting up the latency until the detector operates, and the researches on the safety by understanding if the operational time of detector is suitable for the evaluation standard of performancecentered design.

콘크리트가 충전된 강관 합성기둥은 화재 시 내부 콘크리트가 내력을 견딜 수 있어 높은 하중을 받는 건축물에 적용되고 있으나 높은 내화성능을 요구하는데 반해 이를 평가할 수 있는 방법은 제한되어 있다. 본 논문에서는 폭 700mm 이상인 무피복 대형합성기둥의 온도분포를 확인하기 위해서 수평가열로에서 3시간 내화실험을 수행하고 이후에 압축실험에 수행하여 잔존내력을 확인하였다. 실험 결과 3시간의 화재 노출 후에 폭 700mm 대형합성기둥은 57%의 잔존내력을 가지는 것으로 나타났으며, 재료의 화재 강도저감만을 고려한 잔존내력 예측은 내력을 낮게 평가하는 것으로 나타났다.

Chemical equilibrium calculations for multicomponent aqueous systems involving the reductive dissolution of magnetite (Fe3O4) with oxalic acid (H2C2O4) were performed using the HSC Chemistry® version 9. They were conducted with an aqueous solution model based on the Pitzer’s approach of one molality aqueous solution. The change in the amounts and activity coefficients of species and ions involved in the reactions as well as the solution pH at equilibrium was calculated while changing the amounts of raw materials (Fe3O4 and H2C2O4) and the system temperature from 25°C to 125°C. In particular, the conditions under which Fe3O4 is completely dissolved at high temperatures were determined by varying the raw amount of H2C2O4 and the temperature for a given raw amount of Fe3O4 fed into the aqueous solution. When the raw amount of H2C2O4 added was small for a given raw amount of Fe3O4, no undissolved Fe3O4 was present in the solution and the pH of the solution increased significantly. The formation of ferrous oxalate complex (FeC2O4) was observed. The equilibrium amount of FeC2O4 decreased as the raw amount of H2C2O4 increased.

The distribution pattern of species richness was determined by temperature. To examine the relationship between hemipteran richness and temperature, hemipteran species were collected using pitfall traps at six different oak forest sites with different annual mean temperatures in South Korea. Multiple linear regression analyses were conducted with mean annual temperature (MAT) and plant richness to evaluate differences in hemipteran richness. The influences of MAT and plant richness of study sites on hemipteran richness were examined by comparing three models (plant richness+MAT+MAT2, plant richness+MAT, and MAT) or two models (plant richness+MAT and MAT). Hemipteran richness showed an inverse diversity pattern as a function of temperature, with higher species richness at lower temperature sites. Meanwhile, Aphididae showed a bell-shaped diversity pattern with the highest value at low medium temperatures. The regression analysis showed that hemipteran richness was affected by temperature and plant richness in their habitats.
