PURPOSES : The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of air voids, binder content, and aggregate gradation on the indirect tensile strength (IDT) and cracking tolerance index (CTindex) of cored asphalt pavements. METHODS : Cored samples were obtained from roads in Incheon city, and several laboratory experiments were performed. First, the cored samples were first to cut into a size appropriate for the IDT test. Subsequently, the air voids of the samples were measured. The damaged sample from the IDT test was loose mixed at 150 ℃ before the binder content was determined, which was conducted via an asphalt extraction test. Finally, the clean aggregates obtained from asphalt extraction process were analyzed in the aggregate gradation test. RESULTS : The result shows that an increase in air voids from 4% to 8% decreases the IDT and cracking tolerance index (CTindex) by 30% and 28%, respectively. Incorporating a binder enhances the ductile behavior of the asphalt mixture, resulting in a higher CTindex. Finally, the contribution of the aggregate grade on the IDT and CTindex is negligible. CONCLUSIONS : The IDT and CTindex are primarily affected by the air voids and binder content. A higher percentage of air voids results in a lower IDT. In addition, a higher amount of binder increases the IDT and CTindex of the cored samples. Meanwhile, the aggregate grade does not affect the IDT.

본 연구를 실시하는 목적은 자기성찰과 정신건강 간에서 나타나는 5요인 마음챙김 경로 및 간접효과유의성을 검증하고자 하는데 있다. 본 연구대상은 익산시와 평택시의 애견훈련센터에 방문하는 성인남녀 140명에게 설문조사를 한 후 표기가 불분명한 자료를 제외한 129명의 자료를 토대로 분석하였다. 분석에 사용된 측정도구로는 자기성찰, 5요인 마음챙김, 정신건강에 관한 설문지였다. 본 연구의 자료분석을 위하여 M-Plus 6.12를 활용해 분석하였다. 본 연구의 매개효과에 대한 결과분석에서 자기성찰은 5요인 마음챙김(β=.358, t=4.187, p <.001)에 유의한 정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 5요인 마음챙김은 정신건강(β=.264, t=2.445, p <.01) 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 더불어 간접효과유의성검증결과에서 자기성찰이 5요인 마음챙김을 경유하여 정신건강에 이르는 경로의 경우의 간접효과(β=0.123, CI[0.014 ~ 0.319])는 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 과정을 통하여 자기성찰과 정신건강과 5요인 마음챙김의 관계성 검증분석을 토대로 한 경로 및 간접효과유의성검증을 확인할 수 있었다

This case study explained the korea expressway’s ex-post evaluation that focused on the direct and indirect effects of expressway, constructed for 40years. Expressway has been the foundation of South Korean economy and society since 1970. But there was a few research of the various effect of expressway. This case study tried to qualitatively analyze the direct and indirect effects of expressway. This case study suggested the expressway’s various effects separated by a 10year from 1970 to 2010 and calculated the monetary value of expressway network by transport network analysis. Also, it suggested the SA(Service area) of express network from 1970 to 2010 by ArcGis’s IDW methodology. Especially, the regional and industry development effect of expressway was calculated in this study by adapting the function of Cobb-Douglas production.

The purpose of this study was to measuring the causal relationships among food involvement, health, mood, convenience, sensory appeal, weight control and vegetable consumption. A total of 290 questionnaires were completed. Structural equation model was used to measure the causal relationships among constructs. Results of the study demonstrated that the structural analysis result for the data also indicated excellent model fit. The effects of food involvement on health, mood, convenience, sensory appeal, weight control and vegetable consumption were statistically significant. As expected, health, mood, sensory appeal and eight control had significant effects on vegetable consumption. Moreover, health, mood, convenience, sensory appeal and weight control played mediating roles in the relationship between food involvement and vegetable consumption. In conclusion, based on structural analysis, a model was proposed of interrelations among food involvement, health, mood, convenience, sensory appeal, weight control and vegetable consumption. It should be noted that the original vegetable consumption model was modified and should, preferably, be alidated in future research. Other variables, such as attitude, subjective norm and perceived behavior control, may be incorporated to form vegetable consumption models that consist of new antecedent and consequence pairs.

Indirect CO2 effect due to non-methane volatile organic compound (NMVOC) emissions from solvent and product use and fugitive NMVOC emissions from fuels in the Republic of Korea and 13 Annex I countries under United Nations Framework on Climate Change were estimated and the proportions of them to total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions ranged from 0.092% to 0.45% in 2006. Indirect greenhouse effect (CO2, CH4, and O3) were estimated at 13 photochemical assessment monitoring sites in the Republic of Korea using concentrations of 8 NMVOCs of which indirect global warming potential (GWP) were available. The contribution of toluene to mixing ratio was highest at 11 sites and however, the contribution of toluene to indirect greenhouse effect was highest at nine sites. In contrast to toluene, the contributions of ethane, butane, and ethylene were enhanced. The indirect greenhouse effects of ethane and propane, of which ozone formation potentials are the lowest and the third lowest respectively among targeted 10 NMVOCs, ranked first and fourth highest respectively. Acetaldehyde has relatively higher maximum incremental reactivity and is classified as probable human carcinogen however, its indirect GWP ranked second lowest.
