PURPOSES : The numeric-based Highway Pavement Management System (HPMS), along with an advanced three-dimensional pavement condition monitoring profiler vehicle (3DPM), in South Korea has presented remarkable advancements in pavement management since the early 2000. Based on these results, visual distress on pavement surfaces can be easily detected and analyzed. Additionally, the entire expressway pavement surface conditions in South Korea can be easily monitored using the current graphical user interface-based advanced information graphic (AIG) approach. Therefore, a critically negative pavement section can be detected and managed more easily and efficiently. However, the actual mechanical performance of the selected pavement layer still needs to be investigated in a more thorough manner not only to provide more accurate pavement performance results but also to verify the feasibility of the current 3DPM and AIG approaches. In this study, the low-temperature performance of the selected asphalt pavement layer section was evaluated to further verify and strengthen the feasibility of the current 3DPM and AIG approaches developed by the Korea Expressway Corporation. METHODS : Based on 3DPM and AIG approach, the positive and negative-riding-quality road sections were selected, respectively. The asphalt material cores were extracted from each section then bending beam rheometer mixture creep test was performed to measure their low-temperature properties. Based on the experimental results, thermal stress results were computed and visually compared. RESULTS : As expected, the asphalt material from the negative driving performance section presented a poorer low-temperature cracking resistance than that from the positive driving performance section. CONCLUSIONS : Current 3DPM equipment can successfully evaluate expressway surface conditions and the corresponding material performance quality. However, more extensive experimental studies are recommended to verify and strengthen the findings of this study

해수이차전지는 해수를 양극으로 사용하는 차세대 이차전지이다, 해양 자원을 사용하여 가격 경쟁력과 높은 친환경성, 그리고 해양 애플리케이션에 적합한 구조를 가진다. 이러한 장점을 기반으로 지속적 연구개발을 통해 자연 해수 노출을 가정한 파우치 타입 및 각형 타입이 개발되어 왔다. 그러나 이차전지는 전기적 특성상 사용 환경에 따라 용량 및 내부 임피던스가 달라진다. 이러한 특성은 전지 의 수명 예측에 활용될 뿐만 아니라 활용하고자 하는 상황에 맞는 용량과 출력에 직접적인 영향을 미친다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 해수이 차전지의 사용 환경에 따른 용량 측정과 SoC-OCV 측정 방법을 통한 내부 저항을 분석하고자 한다.

본 연구에서는 80k Bulk carrier의 저항성능 향상을 목적으로 선미부에 1개의 핀을 부착해 선미 유동을 제어하였고, 저항성능 및 반류의 변화를 분석하였다. 부착된 핀은 직사각형 단면을 가지며, 길이와 폭, 두께는 고정된 채 길이 및 흘수 방향 부착 위치와 유선에 대 한 각도만 변화가 있었다. 나선 및 핀이 부착된 선체에 대한 모형 스케일에서의 CFD 해석이 수행되었고, 그 결과를 실선 확장 후 비교하 였다. 핀은 프로펠러로 유입되는 빌지 볼텍스의 경로를 선미 트랜섬 쪽으로 변화시켰고, 이는 프로펠러 상부와 선미부의 압력을 증가시켰 다. 이로 인해 선체의 압력저항 및 전 저항이 감소되었으며, 감소율은 핀의 부착 위치가 선미 및 선저와 가까울수록 높았다. 또한 핀은 공 칭반류를 감소시켰는데 핀의 각도가 커질수록 반류의 변화가 컸고, 전 저항 저감률은 최대가 되는 특정 각도까지만 비례하였다. 대상 선 박에 단일 핀을 부착했을 시의 최대 전 저항 저감률은 약 2.1 %였고, 선미로부터 수선간장의 12.5%, 선저로부터 흘수의 10 % 위치에 14 의 각도로 부착됐을 때이다.

선행연구를 통해 침수에 대해 저항성과 감수성을 나타내는 야생콩계통을 선발하고 난 뒤 이들 자원들간 지상부 및 지하부 특성을 분석하였고, 유전자의 발현량도 비교 분석하였다. 1. 연구결과, 침수에 대해 저항성을 나타낸 ‘CW11598’과 감수성을 나타낸 ‘CW11948’는 알코올 발효를 촉매하는 PDC와 ADH효소의 활성을 조절하는 mRNA 발현량에서 차이를 보였다. 감수성계통에서 PDC와 ADH 활성을 조절하는 유전자 모두 침수처리에서 무처리보다 유전자 발현량이 감소하였고, 저항성계통해서는 침수처리에서 오히려 무처리보다 이들 유전자의 발현량이 증가하였다. 이런 침수스트레스 대체 경로의 차이는 감수성계통에서 침수처리 무처리보다 줄어든 LSA, TRL 및 RSA로 나타났다. 2. 식생지수 NDVI와 PRI 모두 감수성계통이 침수처리에서 무처리 대비 크게 감소하였다. 하지만 저항성계통에는 LSA는 침수처리와 무처리간 차이가 없었고, 식생지수 NDVI와 PRI도 침수처리와 무처리간 차이를 보이지 않았다. 하지만 TRL와 RSA는 침수처리에서 무처리보다 감소한 것으로 조사되었다.

화분매개곤충으로 중요한 산업적 가치를 지닌 꿀벌은 전 세계적으로 병해충에 의한 개체수 감소 현상이 심각한 문제로 제기 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이를 타개하기 위하여 질병저항성 꿀벌 계통을 선발하고자 하였으며, 이를 위해 꿀벌 육성 계통별 청소력(hygienic behavior) 평가를 수행하였다. 이는 질병 저항성 계통 선발에 관한 연구로 본 연구에서는 5종의 꿀벌 계통과 2종의 교배종 계통에 대한 청소력 평가를 Pin killed brood assay 법에 의해 수행하였다. 그 결과 처리 24 시간 후 죽은 번데기를 제거하거나 개봉하는 능력이 60% 이상으로 청 소능력이 낮은 계통(non-hygienic)은 확인되지 않았으며, 반대로 죽은 번데기를 제거하거나 개봉하는 능력이 90%이상인 hygienic 계통은 C, D, E, F, ♀CX♂D 그리고 ♀FX♂D 계통인 것으로 드러났으며, 그 외 A 계통은 보통(intermediate)의 청소능력을 가진 것으로 확인 되었다. 이를 통해 본 연구에서는 육성 계통 대부분이 높은 질병저항성 특성을 지니는 것으로 평가되고 있으며, 이러한 결과는 지속적인 질병저항성 꿀벌 계통 선발에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대되고 있다.

PURPOSES : Given that large-scale repair works of expressway bridge pavements have high maintenance cost and long traffic blocking time, the thin overlay method that maintains the existing pavement is attracting attention. In this study, because the bridge thin overlay has not been introduced in Korea yet, the basic physical properties of the epoxy thin overlay, which is mainly used for the bridge thin overlay, were investigated, and the skid resistance and bond performance were analyzed. METHODS : Basic physical property tests were performed on each of the epoxy binders, aggregates, and mixtures used in epoxy thin overlay. They were also compared and reviewed against foreign standards. The epoxy binders were tested for viscosity, gel time, and thermal compatibility. The aggregates were tested in terms of water absorption, specific gravity, and gradation. The compressive and flexural strengths of the mixtures were investigated. The epoxy thin overlay has the possibility of detachment of aggregates, so the skid resistance was tested according to the paving phase. In addition, to investigate the bond performance, which is the most important performance of the epoxy thin overlay, the bond strength test was performed by varying the moisture condition and treatment condition of the existing layer surface. RESULTS : The basic physical properties of the materials used in the epoxy thin overlays satisfied foreign standards except for the gradation of aggregates. The skid resistance did not satisfy the standard when the epoxy was exposed, whereas the skid resistance did satisfy the standard when the aggregates were exposed, even after the abrasion test. The bond strength of the epoxy thin overlay satisfied the standard in all cases. The bond strength was the highest when the relative humidity of the existing layer surface was 60%. CONCLUSIONS : The materials of epoxy thin overlay that could be obtained in Korea satisfied the basic physical property standards except for aggregate gradation. Given that the aggregate gradation could be adjusted, it can be concluded that the epoxy thin overlay could be introduced in Korea. In addition, it was confirmed that the skid resistance and bond strength of the epoxy thin overlay were high enough to be used in general road conditions. It was determined that the existing layer surface should maintain an optimal relative humidity of approximately 60% because the moisture condition affects the bond strength.

Anion exchange membrane (AEM) with fixed charged cationic groups can selectively transport anionic molecules such as hydroxide anions. The AEM materials have been widely used in the wide range of applications such as polymer electrolyte fuel cells, water electrolysis, and reverse electrodialysis and electrodialysis. Commercially available AEM materials show high electrochemical resistance owing to their chemical architectural features leading to less separated hydrocarbon morphologies. Very low solubility to casting solvents and weak chemical durability to alkaline atmosphere of the AEM materials also makes it difficult to make thin and tough AEM membranes. In this study, AEM materials composed of perfluorinated architectures with improved chemical durability and intrinsically well separated morphologies were developed and evaluated.

Currently, the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) is planning to build the Ki-Jang Research Reactor (KJRR) in Ki-Jang, Busan. It is important to safely dispose of low-level radioactive waste from the operation of the reactor. The most efficient way to treat radioactive waste is cement solidification. For a radioactive waste disposal facility, cement solidification is performed based on specific waste acceptance criteria such as compressive strength, free-standing water, immersion and leaching tests. Above all, the leaching test is important to final disposal. The leakage of radioactive waste such as 137Cs causes not only regional problems but also serious global ones. The cement solidification method is simple, and cheaper than other solidification methods, but has a lower leaching resistance. Thus, this study was focused on the development of cement solidification for an enhancement of cesium leaching resistance. We used Zeolite and Loess to improve the cesium leaching resistance of KJRR cement solidification containing simulated KJRR liquid waste. Based on an SEM-EDS spectrum analysis, we confirmed that Zeolite and Loess successfully isolated KJRR cement solidification. A leaching test was carried out according to the ANS 16.1 test method. The ANS 16.1 test is performed to analyze cesium ion concentration in leachate of KJRR cement for 90 days. Thus, a leaching test was carried out using simulated KJRR liquid waste containing 3000 mg·L-1 of cesium for 90 days. KJRR cement solidification with Zeolite and Loess led to cesium leaching resistance values that were 27.90% and 21.08% higher than the control values. In addition, in several tests such as free-standing water, compressive strength, immersion, and leaching tests, all KJRR cement solidification met the waste acceptance or satisfied the waste acceptance criteria for final disposal.

The planing hull is characterized by a large change in the posture according to the speed, and the shape of the propeller varies, so that the hull resistance varies greatly depending on the propeller used. Especially, the Savitsky system, which is widely used for estimating the resistance of planing hull, does not consider the characteristics of these propeller and ship bottom spray rails. In this paper, in order to investigate the difference in resistance characteristics between the propeller and the bottom of the propeller of 6m and 12m class propeller using propeller such as outboard or stern drive, A comparative test was conducted on resistance and attitude posture changes in the Circulating Water Channel of Institute of Medium & Small Shipbuilding. As a result of comparison test, it was confirmed that there is a clear difference in the attitude change due to the presence of the bottom floor spray rail and the change in resistance characteristics due to the installation of the propeller. However, attitude change with the propeller was found to be insignificant.

In commercial solar cells, the pattern of the front electrode is critical to effectively assemble the photo generated current. The power loss in solar cells caused by the front electrode was categorized as four types. First, losses due to the metallic resistance of the electrode. Second, losses due to the contact resistance of the electrode and emitter. Third, losses due to the emitter resistance when current flows through the emitter. Fourth, losses due to the shading effect of the front metal electrode, which has a high reflectance. In this paper, optimizing the number of finger on a 4 ´ 4 solar cell is demonstrated with known theory. We compared the short circuit current density and fill factor to evaluate the power loss from the front metal contact calculation result. By experiment, the short circuit current density(Jsc), taken in each pattern as 37.61, 37.53, and 37.38 mA/ cm2 decreased as the number of fingers increased. The fill factor(FF), measured in each pattern as 0.7745, 0.7782 and 0.7843 increased as number of fingers increased. The results suggested that the efficiency(Eff) was measured in each pattern as 17.51, 17.81, and 17.84 %. Throughout this study, the short-circuit current densities(Jsc) and fill factor(FF) varied according to the number of fingers in the front metal pattern. The effects on the efficiency of the two factors were also investigated.

고속 활주선에서 차인은 활주자세 변화 뿐 아니라 선체의 균형을 잡아주는 역할을 하며, 저항성능에 큰 영향을 미친다. 그러나 이러한 차인의 설계는 배수량, 선저경사각, 흘수, 선폭 등 다양한 설계 인자들에 영향을 받는 변수로 많은 경험을 필요로 한다. 본 연구에 서는 경험식이 아닌 계산을 통해 차인에 대한 설계 시 형상에 대한 기본적인 지침 마련을 목적으로 고속 활주선의 차인의 형상에 따른 저항성능에 대해 계산하였다. 설계는 상용 설계 프로그램인 Yacht-one을 이용하였으며, 유동해석은 상용 해석프로그램인 STAR-CCM+으로 DFBI(Dynamic Fluid Body Interaction)방법을 적용하여 수행하였다. 초기 설계 차인 각도인 17도를 기준으로 차인 15도, 차인 16도, 차인 19도 로 변경하여 설계 속도인 30노트에서 해석을 수행하였다. 그 결과, trim은 4개의 차인 중 16도가 가장 컸으며, heave는 차인 15도에서 가장 우수하였다. 해석 결과를 봤을 때 저항 측면에서 초기 설계 각도인 차인 17도 보다 차인 16도가 우수함을 보이고 있어 실제 설계 시 초기 설계 각도에서 +2도, -2도의 범위로 계산을 통해 저항 성능과 자세에서 우수한 차인을 선택해야 함을 알 수 있다.

PURPOSES : The pole electrode method damaged the concrete pavement on inserting the electrode into the pavement surface. This study examined the feasibility of the flat electrode method to observe the concrete pavement instead of the pole electrode method and analyzed the resistivity characteristics of the concrete by performing laboratory tests. METHODS : The resistivity of the concrete specimens manufactured with three different mixing ratios (38.50%, 39.50%, and 40.50%) were measured using the pole and flat electrode methods according to the concrete age (7 and 28 days) and electrode spacing (20 mm, 30 mm, and 40 mm). RESULTS : In both pole and flat electrode methods, the resistivity increased with increasing fine aggregate proportion regardless of the concrete age. The resistivity measured at a concrete age of 28 days was slightly larger than that measured at 7 days. In the case of a concrete age of 7 days, the resistivity measured by the flat electrode method was larger than that measured by the pole electrode method. The difference disappeared at 28 days. CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that the flat electrode method can replace the pole electrode method because the resistivity measured by both methods was similar. Hence, the development of a technology to apply the flat electrode method to actual concrete pavement is necessary.

The Fe-Cr-Al alloy system shows an excellent heat resistance because of the formation of an Al2O3 film on the metal surface in an oxidizing atmosphere at high temperatures up to 1400oC. The Fecralloy needs an additive that can act as a binder because of its bad compactability. In this study, the green compacts of STS434L and Al powder added to Fecralloy are oxidized at 950oC for up to 210 h. Fecralloy and Al is mixed by two types of ball milling. One is vented to air and the other was performed in a sealed jar. In the case of Al addition, there are no significant changes in the electrical resistance. Before the oxidation test, Al oxides are present in the Fecralloy surface, as determined from the energy dispersive spectroscopy results. The addition of Al improves the compactability because of an increased density, and the addition of STS434L increases the electrical resistivity by forming a composite oxide.
