Organosilicone-based surfactants consist of hydrophobic organosilicone groups coupled to hydrophilic polar groups. Organosilicone surfactants have been widely used in many industrial fields starting from polyurethane foam to construction materials, cosmetics, paints & inks, agrochemicals, etc., because of their low surface tension, lubricity, spreading, water repellency and thermal and chemical stability, resulted from the unique properties of organosilicone. Especially, trisiloxane surfactants, having low molecular weight organosilicone as hydrophobe, exhibit low surface tension and excellent wettability and spreadability, leading to their applications as super wetter/super spreader, but have the disadvantage of vulnerability to hydrolysis. A variety of trisiloxane surfactant structures are required to provide the functional improvement and the defect resolution for reflecting the necessities in the various applications. This review covers the synthetic schemes of reactive trisiloxanes as hydrophobic siloxane backbones, the main reaction schemes, such as hydrosilylation reaction, for coupling reactive trisiloxanes to hydrophilic groups, and the synthetic schemes of the main trisiloxane surfactants including polyether-, carbohydrate-, gemini-, bolaform-, double trisiloxane-type surfactants.

Geosynthetics are widely used in different ways such as reinforcement of structures in road, railway, harbor and dam engineering, drainage, separation and erosion prevention. They are especially applied to reinforced retaining wall and slope or ground reinforcement. Recently, geosynthetics reinforced pile supported (GRPS) embankment was developed to improve stability and construability of embankments in railway engineering. Extension strains are usually measured by strain gauges adhered to geosynthetics to evaluate the stability of geosynthetics. However, the measurements are influenced by manufacturing method and stiffness of geosynthetics and also adherence of strain gauge. In this study, wide-width tensile strength tests were performed on three types of geosynthetics including geogrid, woven geotextile and non-woven geotextile. During the test, strains of geosynthetics were measured by both video extensometer and strain gauges adhered to the geosynthetics and the measured results were compared. Results show that the measured results by strain gauges have high reliability in case of large stiffness geosythetics like geogrid and woven geotextile, whereas they have very low reliability for small stiffness geosythetics like non-woven geotextile.

Micro gas sensor with single electrode was proposed for improving stability and sensitivity. Generally, metal oxide gas sensors have two electrodes for heating and sensing. This fabricated new type sensor have only a single electrode by forming a sensing material onto heating electrode. Pt as a heating and sensing electrode was sputtered on glass substrate and a $SnO_2$ sensing material was thermally evaporated on Pt electrode. $SnO_2$ was patterned by lift-off process and then thermally oxidized in $O_2$ condition for 1 hr., $600^{\circ}C$. The size of fabricated sensor was $1.9{\times}2.1\;mm^2$. As a result of CO gas sensing characteristics, this sensor showed 100 mV change for 1,000 ppm and linearity for wide range($0{\sim}10,000\;ppm$) of gas concentrations. And the sensor shows a good recovery characteristics of 1% deviation compared to initial resistance.

Recently, the application of a photocatalyst to road structures is being attempted to solve environmental problems caused by fine particulate matter and automobile exhaust. The purpose of this study was to develop a release agent with GST (low-cost, high-performance photocatalyst produced from wastewater sludge). For this, the method of mixing and dispersing GST with the release agent was used first, and the removal performance of nitrogen oxide (NOx) was then checked. The best performance without a precipitation reaction was achieved using a stabilizing agent at 20 % in an outdoor exposure test for four weeks. The NO and NOx removal rate of the specimen demolded by applying the GST release agent developed in this study showed excellent effects of 200 to 400 % compared to the Plain material. To increase the performance of the GST release agent, it is necessary to improve the dispersibility of GST in the release agent and increase the amount of the nano-sized photocatalyst. In addition, the use of GST release agent in road structures and exposed concrete is expected to increase the NOx removal efficiency.

The proportional-integral-derivative(PID) controller has been widely used in the industry because of its robust performance and simple structure in a wide range of operating conditions. However, the AVR(Automatic Voltage Regulator) as a control system is not robust to variations of the power system parameters. Therefore, it is necessary to use PID controller to increase the stability and performance of the AVR system. In this paper, a novel design method for determining the optimal PID controller parameters of an AVR system using the particle swarm optimization(PSO) algorithm is presented. The proposed approach has superior features, including easy implementation, stable convergence characteristic and good computational efficiency. In order to assist estimating the performance of the proposed PSO-PID controller, a new performance criterion function is also defined. This evaluation function is intended to reflect when the maximum percentage overshoot, the settling time are given as design specifications. The ITAE evaluation function should impose a penalty if the design specifications are violated, so that the PSO algorithm satisfies the specifications when searching for the PID controller parameter. Finally, through the computer simulations, the proposed PSO-PID controller not only satisfies the given design specifications for the terminal voltage step response, but also shows better control performance than other similar recent studies.

An antifungal substance was purified from culture broth of Pseudomonas flulorescens 2112 that showed a broad-spectrum antagonistic activity against various phytopathogenic fungi including capsici. The substance was identified as 2,4-diacetylphloro-glucinol basd on NMR analysis. The 2,4-diacetylphloroglcinol showed antibiotic activity in broad acidic range from pH 1.0 to pH 9.0. About 83% of initial activity was remained after incubation for 30min ar $60^{\circ}C$, however, the activity was dropped up to 50% after 30 min incubation in $80^{\circ}C$. When the nucleotides of P. capsici treated with 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol were labeled with[$^{3}$ H]-Adenin, the newly synthesized and radioactive-labeled RNA was significantly reduced than those of untreated P. capsici. indicating that the 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol inhibits RNA synthesis.

When a radial wheel is placed so as to partially overlap a conductive plate and rotated, a lift force is generated on the wheel, a thrust force along the edge, and a lateral force which tends to reduce the overlap region. When several of these wheels are combined, it is possible to realize a system in which the stability of the remaining axes is ensured, except in the traveling direction. To validate the overall characteristics of the multi-wheel system, we propose a transfer system levitated magnetically using radial electrodynamic wheels. The proposed system is floated and propelled by four wheels and arranged in a structure that allows the thrusts generated by the front and rear wheels to offset each other. The dynamic stability of the wheel and the effect of the pole number on the three-axial forces are analyzed by the finite element method. At this time, the thrust and levitation force are strongly coupled, and the only factor affecting them is the wheel rotation speed. Therefore, in order to control these two forces independently, we make use of the fact that the ratio of the thrust to the levitation force is proportional to the velocity and is independent of the size of the gap. The in-plane and out-of-plane motion control of the system is achieved by this control method and compared with the simulation results. The experimental results show that the coupled degrees of freedom can be effectively controlled by the wheel speed alone.

The effects of germinated brown rice flour on the quality characteristics of white wheat flour noodles were investigated. The insoluble dietary fiber and soluble dietary fiber content of germinated brown rice flour were 5.1% and 4.2%, respectively. Water absorption, development time, and stability of farinogram decreased when germinated brown rice flour was added to white wheat flour. Brightness ($L^*$) decreased, but redness ($a^*$) increased in noodles made from germinated brown rice. Volume of cooked noodles did not change upon addition of germinated brown rice flour, but weight of cooked noodles decreased and the turbidity of cooked water increased. The cutting force of cooked noodles did not change upon addition of germinated rice flour. Addition of 10% germinated brown rice flour to white wheat flour did not have any effects on flavor, color, taste, appearance, and overall acceptability in sensory evaluation.

In this paper, a low power 4th order delta-sigma modulator was designed with a high resolution of 12 bits or more for the biological signal processing. Using time-interleaving technique, 4th order delta-sigma modulator was designed with one operational amplifier. So power consumption can be reduced to 1/4 than a conventional structure. To operate stably in the big difference between the two capacitor for kT/C noise and chip size, the variable-stage amplifier was designed. In the first phase and second phase, the operational amplifier is operating in a 2-stage. In the third and fourth phase, the operational amplifier is operating in a 1-stage. This was significantly improved the stability of the modulator because the phase margin exists within 60~90deg. The proposed delta-sigma modulator is designed in a standard $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS n-well 1 poly 6 Metal technology and dissipates the power of $354{\mu}W$ with supply voltage of 1.8V. The ENOB of 11.8bit and SNDR of 72.8dB at 250Hz input frequency and 256kHz sampling frequency. From measurement results FOM1 is calculated to 49.6pJ/step and FOM2 is calculated to 154.5dB.

우리나라는 홍수조절이나 통제를 목적으로 10개의 다목적댐을 통한 홍수방재시스템을 운영하고 있다. 다목적댐 또한 방류능력과 저류능력에 한계가 있기 때문에 안정적인 홍수조절을 위해서는 유입량과 유출량을 미리 예측할 수 있어야 한다. 하지만, 강수량은 그 변동이 심하여 정확한 예측이 어렵기 때문에 합리적인 하천 구조물의 설계와 홍수예측기술의 발전을 위해서는 강우-유출 해석뿐만 아니라 과거의 수문자료를 사용한 통계적인 분석이 요구된다. 최근 기후변화로 인해 과거에 겪지 않았던 이상 기후현상이 빈번하게 나타나고 있다. 기상청발표에 따르면 최근 10년간(1996~2005) 15개 지점의 평균 연강수량은 1,458.7 m로 약 10 �時貂� 하였고, 특히 여름철은 18 %로 증가폭이 가장 크며 호우일수는 30년 평균이 2일인데 비하여 2.8일로 0.8일 증가하였다. 이러한 강수량 및 호우일수 증가는 여름철 심각한 수해를 초래할 수 있다. 본 연구는 기후변화로 인한 수해를 대비하여 홍수기중 저수지 제한수위운영의 안정성을 검토하였다. 연구 대상 지역은 광교저수지로 수원천 상류부인 경기도 수원시 장안구 연무동에 위치한다. 유역면적은 10.98 km, 유효저수량은 250.0 만$m3$이며, 현재 예비취수원으로 사용되고 있다. 기후변화에 따른 하류지역의 예상치 못한 홍수피해를 사전에 예방하기 위해 광교저수지 유역의 설계 강수량과 설계 홍수량을 산정하였다. 제한수위의 시나리오는 현재 시행중인 제한수위와 만수위를 포함하여 5개로 설정하였다. 설계 홍수량이 광교저수지로 유입될 때 시나리오에 따른 월류량은 웨어공식을 이용하여 산정하였으며 결론은 다음과 같다. 1. 39년간의 최다 일 강수량 자료를 사용하여 100년 빈도의 설계 강수량을 Gumbel 분포법으로 산정한 결과 344.4 mm임을 알 수 있었다. 2. 광교저수지 유역의 설계 홍수량을 SCS 방법을 이용하여 산정한 결과 $216.2\;m^3/s$/s로 나타났으며, 총 유입량은 $301.0\;m^3$/day로 파악되었다. 3. 광교저수지로 설계홍수량이 유입될 때 제한수위 시나리오에 따른 최대 방류량은 EL. 87 m의 경우 $23.1\;m^3/s$, EL. 89 m의 경우$27.5\;m^3/s$ EL. 91.36 m의 경우 $79.6\;m^3/s$, EL. 93 m의 경우 $121.1\;m^3/s$ EL. 95.2 m의 경우 $137.`\;m^3/s$이다. 광교저수지 하류부분의 하천정비기본계획상의 설계 홍수량은 $114\;m^3/s$로 홍수기중 저수지의 제한수위는 EL. 91.36 m이하로 설정하는 것이 바람직한 것으로 판단된다.
