The effect of vanadium, which is known to decrease the stacking fault energy of Fe-base alloys, on the microstructure and elevated temperature sliding wear resistance of Fe-20Cr- 1.7C- 1Si alloy was investigated. The maximum amount of vanadium maintaining the austenitic matrix seems to be about 3wt.% in Fe-20Cr- 1.7C-1Si-xV (x = 0, 1, 3, 6. lOwt.%) alloys and the austenitic alloys showed better wear resistance than ferritic alloys. It was considered to be due to the low stacking fault energy and $\gamma->\alpha$ strain-induced phase transformation at rmm temperature. It was shown from elevated temperature sliding tests up to .$225^{\circ}C$ that the addition of vanadium increases the temperature, at which the transition from oxidative wear to adhesive wear occur, and the amount of d formed at $225^{\circ}C$. Thus, it was considered that the addition of vanadium improves the elevated temperature sliding wear resistance of Fe-20Cr- 1.7C - 1Si by reducing the increasing rate of stacking fault energy with temperature and by increasing Ma temperature.

In this study, a model for analyzing the spatial effect of large dam reservoirs on local hydrometeorology was developed, and then actually applied to the Seomjingang Dam, Soyanggang Dam, Andong Dam, and Chungju Dam. The application included the analysis of land use using the satellite images to derive the change in albedo before and after the dam construction. Summarizing the modeling procedure and its application results are as follows. (1) The change in albedo was found to be closely related with the size of the dam, also the spatial limit of albedo change were estimated to be 10-20km for the Seomjingang Dam, 40km for the Soyanggang Dam, 20-30km for the Andong Dam, and 50km for the Chungju Dam. (2) The change in the coefficient of recycle (ratio of internal supply of moisture to the total available moisture) was found to be big within the narrow boundary of the. dam, but become smaller as the boundary becomes larger. (3) The correlation between the albedo and. coefficient of recycle was found high. Thus, it could be concluded that the change in land use due to dam construction has much effect on the moisture circulation structure. (4) The spatial range of hydrometeorogic effect was compared with the water surface area of dam reservoir. The result showed that the spatial range sensitively increased up to $50km^2$ of water surface area.

As the positive feedback between the absorption of chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) and acceleration of ice melt can impact the aquatic biota and dynamic heat budget, long-term monitoring of the CDOM variation in the polar ocean is necessary. However, the monitoring of CDOM is not easy because of harsh weather and difficult access, especially in the Antarctic Ocean. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to find a suitable long-term monitoring site for CDOM variation; we selected Maxwell Bay and Marian Cove at Sejong Base and horizontal and vertical distributions of CDOM were measured. After a 72 hr time-series measurement test of the CDOM variation at Sejong Dock and Sejong Cape in Maxwell Bay, Sejong Dock was selected, as it does not haveland discharge effects. The seasonal variation of CDOM was evident and the average CDOM concentration of Maxwell Bay was comparable with the adjacent sea. The CDOM at Sejong Dock from February to November 2010 was the highest in the fall and winter and the lowest during spring and summer. Thus, based on our one-year CDOM data, we suggest that Sejong Dock in Maxwell Bay is suitable for long-term monitoring of CDOM as an indicator of photochemical and biological environmental change and an important factor in determining the heating budget in the Antarctic Ocean.

The behavior of horizontally curved I-girder bridges is complex because the flexural and torsional behavior of curved girders are coupled due to their initial curvature. Also, the behavior is affected by cross beams. To investigate the behavior of horizontally curved I-girder bridges, it is necessary to consider curved girders with cross beams. In order to perform free vibration analyses of horizontally curved I-girder bridges, a finite element formulation is presented here and a finite element analysis program is developed. The formulation that is presented here consists of curved and straight beam elements, including the warping degree of freedom. Based on the theory of thin-walled curved beams, the shape functions of the curved beam elements are derived from homogeneous solutions of the static equilibrium equations. Third-order hermits polynomials are used to form the shape functions of the straight beam elements. In the finite element analysis program, global stiffness and mass matrix are composed, based on the Cartesian coordinate system. The Gupta method is used to efficiently solve the eigenvalue problem. Comparing the results of several examples here with those of previous studies, the formulation presented is verified. The validity of the program developed is shown by comparing results with those analyzed by the shell element.

The semiconductor industry is one of the key industries of Korea, which has continued growing at a steady annual growth rate. Important technology for the semiconductor industry is high integration of devices. This is to increase the memory capacity for unit area, of which key is photolithography. The photolithography refers to a technique for printing the shadow of light lit on the mask surface on to wafer, which is the most important process in a semiconductor manufacturing process. In this study, the width and step-height of wafers patterned through this process were measured to ensure uniformity. The widths and inter-plate heights of the specimens patterned using photolithography were measured using transmissive digital holography. A transmissive digital holographic interferometer was configured, and nine arbitrary points were set on the specimens as measured points. The measurement of each point was compared with the measurements performed using a commercial device called scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Alpha Step. Transmission digital holography requires a short measurement time, which is an advantage compared to other techniques. Furthermore, it uses magnification lenses, allowing the flexibility of changing between high and low magnifications. The test results confirmed that transmissive digital holography is a useful technique for measuring patterns printed using photolithography.

The present study proposes a new estimation relationship for the transmission rate of the steel breakwater which is expected to make up for the weakness points in existing hard solution for shore protection. The steel breakwater consists of the wave dissipator of the dual horizontal plates, the supporting columns and their foundations, and thus its respective designs should also be conducted one by one. Furthermore, the breakwater has to ensure both functions of shore protection and structure stabilization. The study produced experimental data for the stability and safety investigation of the steel breakwater. The forces acting on the steel breakwater were classified into two categories, one is vertical up and down loads for the pile resistance and the other was maximum difference of the vertical load acting on horizontally different position for the torsion. The study applied the stability force produced by the summation of maximum pressure at each point and the safety force acting on each point simultaneously. The regular wave corresponding to the significant wave was utilized for measuring wave pressure and force. The study showed the method for the proper position of submerged upper plate by considering occurrence frequency of tide level. The design process finally determined by trial and error is proposed in the present study.

More than one-third of the world's population still has no access to clean cooking facilities despite global interest and efforts to expand the accessibility of clean cooking fuels. They use traditional biomass, i.e., crops, animal dung and firewood, as their cooking fuel, and the health and economic damage from it is severe. As many studies have been conducted to understand the choice and transition of cooking fuel in developing countries, characteristics of household head have been addressed as one of the main fuel determinants. However, decision-making in households is not only made by household head and can vary depending on the relative characteristics of household members. Thus, this study analyses the determinants of cooking fuel choice through the samples of Cambodian couples(household head and his/her spouse) considering both characteristics of husbands and wives. As a result, it is confirmed that the effects of characteristics, such as employment, education levels, and frequency of media use, between husbands and wives on cooking fuel choice were different. This study is expected to contribute to the development of more sophisticated policies to increase clean fuel in Cambodia, given that it takes into account the characteristics of spouses who have not previously been dealt with in analyzing the determinants of cooking fuel choice and that it is difficult to find research on Cambodia.

This study analyzed global Knowledge Sharing Platforms and collected stakeholder's suggestions to develop the "Korea-ASEAN Wetland Knowledge Sharing Platform (KSP)." As a result of the analysis, ① financial support and ② knowledge outcomes are essential to maintain the KSP and conduct the platform sustainably. Stakeholder suggest three significant projects (① comparative analysis of the inventory of wetlands in the Korea-ASEAN region, ② knowledge gap analysis in wetland research trends, and ③ establishing a web infrastructure for wetlands information sharing). The "Korea-ASEAN Wetland KSP" defined to be consistent with the international conventions (e.g., Ramsar Convention, Convention on Biological Diversity) goals by comprehensively considering the literature analysis and stakeholder suggestions. Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) selected as the fundamental model of the KSP. As with IPBES, knowledge management and assessment, capacity building, policy support, communication and participation adopted as the platform's core objectives. The KSP will be able to share knowledge related to the same type of wetland ecosystem within the Korea-ASEAN region and provide necessary information for establishing science-based policies.

We deduced the proper estimation methodology for the amount of carbon sequestration by damaged trees for Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). The nine development projects related to renewable energy, damaged trees occur, assessment status and used method of evaluating the carbon storage of damaged trees were summarized. And after re-calculating the carbon storage of damaged trees through allometric equations, the difference between the two groups, re-calculated the damaged trees carbon storage and the damaged trees carbon storage in the report, was validated. As a result, damaged trees carbon storage in words was more than the re-calculated damaged trees carbon storage, and it was statistically significant (p<0.005). This result means that the existing method for calculating damaged tree carbon storage is overcalculated. It was judged that it was necessary to improve the calculation method. Therefore, allometric equations suitable for each dominated-tree species should be used when calculating the damaged tree carbon storage. Furthermore, we propose to establish a carbon storage calculation system based on actual data from the ecosystem so that researchers can efficiently and accurately the damaged trees carbon storage.

최근 친수성, 경관, 생태계 보전 등을 위해 다양한 호안블록의 시공이 이루어지고 있어 호안블록의 수리적 안정성에 관한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 이러한 배경 하에 한국건설기술연구원 안동하천실험센터(이하 센터)에서는 2019년부터 실규모 수로를 이용하여 여러 건의 호안블록 실규모 수리검토 실험을 실시한 바 있다. 본 연구는 그간의 실험 결과를 종합적으로 고찰하고 수리 검토 실험의 현황과 한계점, 그리고 개선 방향을 제언하는데 그 목적이 있다. A1 수로(급경사수로, 하상경사 1/70)에서는 7건(21회), B1 수로(고유속수로, 하상경사 1/7)에서는 2건(6회)의 실험이 수행되었다. A1 수로 실험의 유량-소류력 관계는 1.0 m³/s에서 약 20 N/m²이며, 1.0 m³/s 증가당 약 11 N/m²이 증가하는 관계를 나타낸다. 7건의 실험 결과 30분 이상 지속된 최대 실험 유량은 6~7 m³/s 정도이며, 이는 A1 최대 공급 유량의 75 % 정도로서 안정적인 수준이라고 판단된다. 이 때의 최대 소류력은 75 N/m² 정도로 나타났다. B1 수로는 5 m/s 이상의 고유속 흐름을 발생시킬 수있으며, 2건의 실험 결과 0.5 m³/s에서 약 100 N/m², 최대 4.5 m³/s에서 330 N/m²까지 소류력을 제공하여 실험을 수행한 바 있다. 따라서 A1, B1 수로를 통해 제공할 수 있는 소류력 범위는 10~330 N/m²이지만, 75~100 N/m²는 실험에서 제공된 바 없었다. 한편, 토양유실의 경우 수준측량에 의해 측정되는데, 대부분의 실험에서 Clopper의 토양손실 지수(1.27 cm) 미만의 결과가 발생하였다. 이는 시험체에 따라 여건이 다르기는 하지만, 수리 검토 실험시 3회 실험을 기본으로 하고 있고 호안재료의 침식이 기준 이하로 유지되면서 최대한의 성능을 발휘할 수 있는 소류력 조건을 얻으려는 실험 목적에 부합하도록 조절된 것으로 볼 수 있다. 이러한 실험 결과를 토대로 고려해볼 수 있는 개선 방향은 다음과 같다. 강성 재료가 아닌 연성 또는 친환경적 호안재료의 허용 소류력 범위를 보다 넓게 평가하기 위해 A1 수로가 제공하는 최대 소류력을 높일 필요가 있다. 이를 위해 기본 3회의 실험 외에 추가로 호안블록이 파괴되거나 토양유실 임계치를 초과할 수 있는 실험을 수행함으로써 각 제품의 한계 성능을 평가하는 것이 필요할 것으로 보인다.
