최근 수경재배에서 가장 많이 사용되는 친환경 유기배 지인 코이어 배지를 사용하였을 때 코이어 칩과 더스트 비율, 급액량에 따라 멜론의 생육과 과실 품질을 분석하고 봄 재배시 코이어 배지를 이용한 멜론 수경재배의 기초 자료를 제공하고자 본 연구를 수행하였다. 실험에 사용한 2 종류의 코이어 배지는 칩과 더스트의 비율이 각각 3:7, 5:5이었으며, 배액률 10, 20, 30% 수준으로 급액하였을 때 멜론의 생육과 품질 변화, 배지의 물리적 ·화학적 변화를 분석하였다. 배액률 10%를 기준으로 양액을 공급한 처리구는 총 급액량이 주당 91L로 급액량이 가장 많은 배액률 30% 처리구에 비해 약 30% 절감되었다. 총 배액량 또한 급액량이 가장 적은 배액률 10% 처리구에서 주당 10L 이하로 낮은 값을 나타내었다. 더스트 비율이 높은 칩:더스트 3:7 배지는 5:5 배지 보다 총 배액량이 약 30-70% 감소하였다. 급액량이 많고 더스트 비율이 높은 3:7 배지를 사용했을 경우 엽생육과 과실 비대가 좋았고 당도는 품종 간 차이가 컸다. 배액률 30%를 기준으로 급액하면 배액률 10% 기준으로 급액하였을 때보다 과중이 21% 증가하였다. 더스트의 비율이 높은 3:7 배지는 5:5 배지보다 용기용수량, 공극 률 등 배지 물리성이 우수하였고, 재배 기간 중 네트발 현기 이후 배액 EC가 3.0-6.8dS·m-1로 높은 값을 나타내 었다. 재배 품종 특성 및 재배 조건 등을 고려하여 적정한 양수분 관리를 하면 코이어 배지를 이용한 수경재배 시 고품질의 멜론을 생산할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Winged scapular (WS) causes muscle imbalance with abnormal patterns when moving the arm. In particular, the over-activation of the upper trapezius (UT) and decrease in activity of the lower trapezius (LT) and serratus anterior (SA) produce abnormal scapulohumeral rhythm. Therefore, the SA requires special attention in all shoulder rehabilitation programs. In fact, many previous studies have been devoted to the SA muscle strength training needed for WS correction. Objects: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of shoulder girdle muscle and ratio according to the angle of shoulder abduction and external weight in supine position. Methods: Twenty three WS patients participated in this experiment. They performed scapular protraction exercise in supine position with the weights of 0 ㎏, 1 ㎏, 1.5 ㎏, and 2 ㎏ at shoulder abduction angles of 0˚, 30˚, 60˚, and 90˚. The angle and weight applications were randomized. Surface electromyography (EMG) was used to collect the EMG data of the SA, pectoralis major (PM), and UT during the exercise. The ratio of PM/SA and UT/SA was confirmed. Two-way repeated analyses of variance were used to determine the statistical significance of SA, PM, and UT and the ratios of PM/SA and UT/SA. Results: There was a significant difference in SA according to angle (p<.05). Significant differences were also identified depending on the angle and weight (p<.05). The angle of abduction at 0˚, 30˚ and weight of 2 ㎏ showed the highest SA activity. However, there was no significant difference between PM and UT (p>.05). There was a significant difference between PM/SA and UT/SA in ratio of muscle activity according to angle (p<.05). Significant differences were found at PM/SA angles of 30˚, 60˚ and 90˚ (p<.05). For UT/SA, significant difference was only observed at 90˚ (p<.05). Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, in order to strengthen the SA, it was found to be most effective to use 1 and 1.5 ㎏ weights with abduction angles of 0˚ and 30˚ at shoulder protraction in supine position.

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)).

ZnO thin-films are grown on a p-Si(111) substrate by RF sputtering. The effects of growth temperature and O2 mixture ratio on the ZnO films are investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and roomtemperature photoluminescence (PL) measurements. All the grown ZnO thin films show a strong preferred orientation along the c-axis, with an intense ultraviolet emission centered at 377 nm. However, when O2 is mixed with the sputtering gas, the half width at half maximum (FWHM) of the XRD peak increases and the deep-level defect-related emission PL band becomes pronounced. In addition, an n-ZnO/p-Si heterojunction diode is fabricated by photolithographic processes and characterized using its current-voltage (I-V) characteristic curve and photoresponsivity. The fabricated n-ZnO/p-Si heterojunction diode exhibits typical rectifying I-V characteristics, with turn-on voltage of about 1.1 V and ideality factor of 1.7. The ratio of current density at ± 3 V of the reverse and forward bias voltage is about 5.8 × 103, which demonstrates the switching performance of the fabricated diode. The photoresponse of the diode under illumination of chopped with 40 Hz white light source shows fast response time and recovery time of 0.5 msec and 0.4 msec, respectively.

The objective of this study is to analysis the seismic response of 200m spanned honeycomb lattice domes under horizontal and up-down ground motion of El Centro earthquake. For the analysis of seismic response of the honeycomb lattice domes by rise/span ratio, the time history analysis is used for the estimation of the dynamic response. The low rise lattice dome is less deformed and less stressed than the high rise lattice dome for the earthquake ground motion. The 3-dimensional earthquake response is not significantly different the dynamic response of one directional ground motion. The earthquake response of domes with LRB isolation system is significantly reduced for the asymmetric vertical deformation and the horizontal and vertical accelerations.

PURPOSES : The use of reclaimed aggregate has been recently increasing with the increase in the amount of waste asphalt concrete. The application of these materials can reduce the properties of the asphalt pavement when compared with the case when recycled aggregate is not used. The objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of the asphalt mixtures with various mix ratios of reclaimed aggregate. METHODS : To measure the performance, the following tests using the mixtures prepared in accordance with the Korea Standards were conducted: Hamburg wheel-tracking test, third-scale model mobile loading simulator test, and dynamic modulus test. RESULTS : The test results of the Hamburg wheel-tracking test indicate that the water resistance was similar in each mixture and the plastic deformation resistance was good in the high-ratio reclaimed aggregate mixture. In the case of the third-scale model mobile loading simulator test, the plastic deformation demonstrated a high resistance in the high-ratio reclaimed aggregate mixture. The results were similar to those of the Hamburg wheel-tracking test; however, the cracking resistance was poor with a high recycled aggregate incorporation ratio. The dynamic modulus test results demonstrated excellent resistance to plastic deformation at a relatively high ratio of reclaimed aggregate admixture. The crack resistance was weakened when a high ratio of reclaimed aggregate mixture was used. CONCLUSIONS: As the reclaimed aggregate content increased, the plastic deformation resistance increased and the crack resistance decreased.

The characteristics of extracts and precipitates after extraction at different water temperature (25, 50, 75, 95oC), ethanol ratio (25, 50, 75, 100%), and extraction method (stir, soak, autoclave) of yam powder and raw yam were investigated. The total polyphenol content was the highest in the 50% ethanol extract of yam powder. The DPPH radical scavenging activity was the highest in the 75% ethanol extraction and the crude saponin content was the highest in the 95oC water extraction. Tyrosinase inhibitory activity was the highest in 95oC water extraction, low concentration of ethanol extraction, and autoclave extraction. The peak viscosity, trough, and final viscosity of the precipitates increased after ethanol extraction, whereas decreased after the 95oC water extraction and the autoclave, indicating the destruction of starch granules. This was confirmed by observing the starch granules broken using the SEM. The significance of this study was to investigate the possibility of the use of yam resources as a material, processing product development, skin beauty functional food and cosmetic material.

Pitch precursors affording excellent spinnability, high-level oxidation-resistance, and good carbonization yields were prepared by bromination–dehydrobromination of various ratios of pyrolyzed fuel oil and coal tar pitch. The pitches exhibited spinnabilities that were much better than those of pitches prepared via simple distillation. A pitch prepared using a 1:2 ratio of fuel oil and coal tar pitch exhibited the best tensile strength. Pitch fibers of diameter 8.9 ± 0.1 μm were stabilized at 270 °C without soaking time after heating at a rate of 0.5 °C/min and carbonized at 1100 °C for 1 h after heating at 5 °C/min. The resulting carbon fibers exhibited a tensile strength, elongation, Young’s modulus, and average diameter of 1700 ± 170 MPa, 1.6 ± 0.1%, 106 ± 37 GPa, and 7.1 ± 0.2 μm, respectively.

This study examines the role of the nano- and micro-particle ratio in dispersion stability and mechanical properties of composite resins for SLA(stereolithography) 3D printing technology. VTES(vinyltriethoxysilane)-coated ZrO2 ceramic particles with different nano- and micro-particle ratios are prepared by a hydrolysis and condensation reaction and then dispersed in commercial photopolymer (High-temp) based on interpenetrating networks(IPNs). The coating characteristics of VTES-coated ZrO2 particles are observed by FE-TEM and FT-IR. The rheological properties of VTEScoated ZrO2/High-temp composite solution with different particle ratios are investigated by rheometer, and the dispersion properties of the composite solution are confirmed by relaxation NMR and Turbiscan. The mechanical properties of 3Dprinted objects are measured by a tensile test and nanoindenter. To investigate the aggregation and dispersion properties of VTES-coated ZrO2 ceramic particles with different particle ratios, we observe the cross-sectional images of 3D printed objects using FE-SEM. The 3D printed objects of the composite solution with nano-particles of 80 % demonstrate improved mechanical characteristics.

To develop flexible adsorbents for compact volatile organic compound (VOC) air purifiers, flexible as-spun zeolite fibers are prepared by an electrospinning method, and then zeolite particles are exposed as active sites for VOC (toluene) adsorption on the surface of the fibers by a thermal surface partial etching process. The breakthrough curves for the adsorption and temperature programmed desorption (TPD) curves of toluene over the flexible zeolite fibers is investigated as a function of the thermal etching temperature by gas chromatography (GC), and the adsorption/desorption characteristics improves with an increase in the thermal surface etching temperature. The effect of acidity on the flexible zeolite fibers for the removal of toluene is investigated as a function of the SiO2/Al2O3 ratios of zeolites. The acidity of the flexible zeolite fibers with different SiO2/Al2O3 ratios is measured by ammonia-temperature-programmed desorption (NH3-TPD), and the adsorption/desorption characteristics are investigated by GC. The results of the toluene adsorption/desorption experiments confirm that a higher SiO2/ Al2O3 ratio of the flexible zeolite fibers creates a better toluene adsorption/desorption performance.

Diagonally reinforced concrete coupling beams (DRCBs) have been widely adopted in reinforced concrete (RC) bearing wall systems. DRCBs are known to act as a fuse element dissipating most of seismic energies imparted to the bearing wall systems during earthquakes. Despite such importance of DRCBs, the damage estimation of such components and the corresponding consequences within the knowledge of performance based seismic design framework is not well understood. In this paper, drift-based fragility functions are developed for in-plane loaded DRCBs. Fragility functions are developed to predict the damage and to decide the repair method required for DRCBs subjected to earthquake loading. Thirty-seven experimental results are collected from seventeen published literatures for this effort. Drift-based fragility functions are developed for four damage states of DRCBs subjected to cyclic and monotonic loading associated with minor cracking, severe cracking, onset of strength loss, and significant strength loss. Damage states are defined in a consistent manner. Cumulative distribution functions are fit to the empirical data and evaluated using standard statistical methods.

공력감쇠는 와류에 의한 풍직각방향의 응답을 평가하는데 매우 유용한 인자로 인식되어 왔다. 그러나 기존의 공력감쇠 산정 방식은 구조물 응답에 기반한 시스템 식별기술을 적용하는 것으로 와류하중속에 포함되어 있는 공력감쇠의 역할과 특성을 파악하는 데 한계를 가지고 있었다. 본 연구에서는 하중식별기술을 적용하여 와류하중을 직접적으로 구함으로써 와류하중을 구성하는 요소와 유발요인을 평가하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 대기 경계층에서 원형 실린더 모델에 대한 공탄성 실험을 수행하여 풍직각방향 와류하중 을 추정하였으며 그로부터 공력감쇠의 특성을 분석하였다. 분석결과, 와류하중은 구조물 모달속도가 공력감쇠에 의해 풍하중으로 전 환되는 모달속도하중과 변동풍속에 의해 형성되는 순수 와류하중으로 구성되는 것으로 나타났다. 공력감쇠는 최상층 평균풍속에 의한 와류방출진동수가 구조물의 고유진동수에 근접하면서 부감쇠를 가지며 그 결과 총 감쇠가 작아져 응답증폭현상을 유발하는 것으로 파악되었다. 본 연구결과에 기초하면, 난류상태에서 와류하중 특성이 반영된 와류하중모델 구축이 가능할 것으로 사료되며, 구조물 풍직 각방향 진동을 보다 효과적으로 파악하는데 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
