Bisphenol A(BPA), known as a typical endocrine disruptor, has been used commercially and widely for plastics and epoxy resins. BPA-based plastic is used extensively for the production of water bottles, food containers, CDs, DVDs, and panels that can be applied in construction. Epoxy resins containing BPA are used for coatings on the insides of water pipes, food cans, and thermal papers that are used in sales receipts. As its estrogenic effects and other adverse health effects have published, BPA has been regulated in many countries, and there have been efforts made to replace BPA. Other bisphenols substitutes such as bisphenol S(BPS) and bisphenol F(BPF) have been used. Currently, BPS- and BPF-based products labeled BPA-free products have been widely consumed. Because of structural similarities with BPA, however, these alternatives also show endocrine disruption effects like BPA, and many studies on adverse health effects of these alternatives are being reported. In this review, we describe the adverse health effects of bisphenols and the current status of regulation.

The aim of this paper is to identify and evaluate relations for forest greening and the firewood substitution for home use after 1945 Liberation of Korea. Korea faced serious forest degradation by the early 1960s due to the enormous firewood consumption, which was about ten million cubic meters annually, for home use. If the trend of firewood consumption was maintained until 1955's, the total forest area in Korea could be thoroughly degraded within 10 years. The firewood substitution for home use had to be solved as soon as possible. For this purpose, energy sector by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry carried out the substitution policy for home using the briquettes which was the only natural resources for energy produced in Korea. Firewood was prohibited being carried in the major cities by forestry sector, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, from 1958. Only 5.2% of household in the cities used the forest products consumed as a fuel in 1970 because these inter-sectoral substitution measures of firewood for home use turned out a success gradually. After the 1970s, firewood consumption for home use was naturally decreased due to rural people's explosive move to cities, who were major consumers of firewood for home use at that time. Firewood for cooking was substituted by LPG gas after 1985 and firewood for house heating was substituted by coal and oil after 1980. Finally, on the basis of the firewood substitution for home use, the forest degradation that lasted over one hundred years was put a period.

최근 증가하는 현무암 석분슬러지를 건설재료로 재활용하기 위한 방안으로, 시멘트 몰탈에서 잔골재의 일부를 현무암석분슬러지로 대체한 후, 기능성 마감재로서의 성능을 검증한 결과 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 현무암 석분슬러지를 포함한 몰탈의 휨인장강도와 압축강도는, 대체율 21%에 도달할 때까지 압축 및 휨인장강도는 일반 시벤트몰탈 대비 각각 47%와 35% 증가하였다. 2. 원적외선 방사율에 있어서도 기존몰탈보다 높은 0.933까지 이르렀으며, 이 수치는 기타 기능성 마감재보다 우수한 원적외선 방사율을 나타내는 것이다. 3. 음이온 방사량은 현무암석분의 대체율에 따른 일관된 경향을 보이지는 않았으나, 일반 시멘트몰탈 보다는 5% ~ 12% 증가효과가 나타났다. 4. 기존 시멘트몰탈의 잔골재의 21%를 현무암석분슬러지로 대체할 경우, 시멘트 몰탈보다 물리적 성질이 증가 함과 동시에, 기능성몰탈로서의 원적외선 방사율, 음이온 방사량의 증진효과가 있었다. 또한 새로운 건축자재의 생산을 통한 경제적 이득은 물론, 산업폐기물의 양을 줄일 수 있다.

제주지역 하수종말처리장에서 발생하는 방류수(2차 처리수)를 재이용함으로써 지하수에 편중된 제주도의 용수 이용패턴을 다원화하는 대체수자원으로 활용하기 위하여 2001년 6월부터 하수처리장 방류수 재이용 방안연구를 실시하였다. 제주도내에서 운영 중인 3개 하수종말처리장의 방류수에 대한 장기적인 수질검사 결과, 염소이온 함량이 높아 재처리를 하지 않은 상태로 재이용 하기는 곤란한 것으로 파악되었다. 따라서, 재처리를 위한 최적의 공정을 선정하기 위해 pilot test를 실시한 결과, 방류수를 MF(정밀여과)막 전처리 ＋ RO(역삼투)막 처리의 재처리 공정으로부터 재처리된 물(3차 처리수)의 수질은 먹는물로 사용하더라도 전혀 문제가 없을 만큼 깨끗하게 처리되었다. 따라서 방류수 배출량이 많은 제주시 도두 하수처리장과 서귀포 보목 하수처리장의 방류수를 재처리하여 비음용 생활용수, 골프장 관개 수용수, 농업용수, 지하수 인공 함양용수 등으로 재이용하는 방안을 제시하였다.

As construction cases on soft ground are increasing, the necessity of ground improvement is also increasing. Granular pile is one of the methods for soft clay and for loose sandy soil. In our country, SCP(Sand Compaction Pile) method using sand material has been mainly used to improve soft ground, but Granular pile with crushed-stone was not used much. However, alternative material such that crushed-stone is needed to substitute for sand due to the environmental and economical problems. In this study, staged load test and consolidation test were performed in the laboratory to observe the behavior of soft ground improved by Granular pile. In order to evaluate the characteristics such as bearing capacity, drainage, and settlement, sand and crushed-stone were applied as each pile material. The test results show that crushed-stone has higher bearing capacity and less settlement than those of sand under similar pore water pressure condition. Therefore, crushed-stone is determined to be appropriate as substitute for sand.

In this study, in order to evaluate the characteristics of mortar and concrete using wood chip cogeneration plant flooring as fine aggregate, mortar characteristics according to wood chip aggregate replacement rate and water-cement ratio as a substitute for crushed sand, and concrete characteristics according to wood chip aggregate replacement rate were compared and evaluated. The cement mortar flow according to the wood chip aggregate replacement rate showed a tendency to increase as the wood chip aggregate replacement rate increased, and the compressive strength and flexural strength increased as the wood chip aggregate replacement rate increased. The slump and air content of concrete increased as the aggregate replacement rate increased, and the compressive strength and tensile splitting strength of concrete tended to increase as the wood chip aggregate replacement rate increased. Accordingly, the possibility of using the flooring by the cogeneration plant as a fine aggregate for concrete was confirmed.

The Stream Control Transmission Protocol(SCTP) is a reliable transport layer protocol that provides several features. Multihoming is the one of the features and allows an association(SCTP's term for a connection) between two endpoints to use multiple paths. One of the paths, called a primary path, is used for initial data transmission and in the case of retransmission an alternate path is used. SCTP's current retransmission policy attempts to improve the chance of success by sending all retransmissions to an alternate destination address. However, SCTP's current retransmission policy has been shown to actually degrade performance in many circumstances. It is because that, due to Karn's algorithm, successful retransmissions on the alternate path cannot be used to update RTT(Round-Trip Time) estimation for the alternate path. In this paper we propose a scheme to avoid such performance degradation. We utilize 2bits which is not used in the flag field of DATA and SACK chunks to disambiguate original transmissions from retransmissions and to keep RTT and RTO(Retransmission Time-Out) values more accurate.

It's important to study about suitable substitutional material of expensive silica fume because it used widely for silica fume as a high-strength mortar binding agent. The main purpose of this study is to check which is the most efficient binder for the expensive silica fume's alternative material. And this study also present basic data about to make high-strength mortar when we use alternative material instead of silica fume through research outcome. Also writers analzed flow properties respectively, so it was founded out the substitutional goods fare like meta-kaolin, HMBA which are less expensive than silica fume because they are in domestic enough.
