The present study proposes the modified-stoichiometric model for describing hydration of sodium silicate-based alkaliactivated slag(AAS), and compares the results with the thermodynamic modelling-based calculations. The proposed model is based on Chen and Brouwers(2007a) model with updated database as reported in recent studies. In addition, the calculated results for AAS are compared to those for hydrated portland cement. The maximum difference between the proposed model and the thermodynamic calculation for AAS was at most 20%, and the effects of water-to-binder ratio and activator dosages were identically described by both approaches. In particular, the amount of non-evaporable water was within 10% difference, and was in excellent agreement with the experimental results. Nevertheless, notable deviation was observed for the chemical shrinkage, which is largely dependent on the volume of hydrates and pores.

The object of this study was to investigate the carbonization of Quercus variabilis wood samples in pyrolysis system at temperature ranging from 250 to $740^{\circ}C$ to contribute to the knowledge of wood carbonization mechanism. Volume of wood sample decreased with increasing the carbonization temperature, and checks were developed along with radial direction. Weight loss increased with increasing carbonization temperature. During carbonization, tangential direction showed higher shrinkage of vessel diameter than radial direction. SEM observation indicated that the cell walls in wood fibers and parenchyma cells presented the layering structure at $250^{\circ}C$ and $300^{\circ}C$. However, the cross section of cell walls at $340^{\circ}C$ and over showed an amorphous- like structure without cell wall layering. X-ray diffraction presented that the cellulose crystalline substance was still remained in carbonization temperature at $340^{\circ}C$, but it was not detected at $540^{\circ}C$ and over.

Synthetic carbon-coated olivine-like structured lithium iron phosphate ($Li^+Fe^{2+}(PO_4)^{3-}/C$) powder composites were compressed up to 35.0 GPa in the symmetrical diamond anvil cell at room temperature. Bulk modulus of $LiFePO_4/C$ was determined to be $130.1{\pm}10.3$ GPa. New peak appears at the d-spacing of 3.386 ${\AA}$ above 18 GPa, and another new one at 2.854 ${\AA}$ around 35 GPa. The crystallographic symmetry of the sample (i.e. orthorhombic) is apparently retained up to 35 GPa as no clear evidence for the phase transition into spinel structure has been observed. The pressure-induced volume change in the M1 site ($Li^+O_6$) is more significant than those in M2($Fe^{2+}O_6$) and $PO_4$ tetrahedral sites.

A hydrogel, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-N, N-dimethylaminopropylmethacrylamide), sensitive to both pH and temperature, was synthesized and characterized at $^13∼23{\circ}C$ and pH of 10.3∼12.3. The gel was more transparent and mechanically stronger at lower preparation temperature and pH. Large pores observed in scanning electron microscope seem to be responsible for the lower biomolecular separation efficiency. The lower critical solution temperature (LCST) decreased at a higher polymerization temperature. At $25^{\circ}C$, which is lower than the LCST, the gel was swollen regardless of the solution pH. At $40^{\circ}C$, however, the gel was swollen at neutral and acidic pHs even though the temperature was higher than the LCST. The gel collapse pH, defined as the point at which the gel made its largest volume decrease per unit pH increment, increased as the gel preparation temperature increased.

Background: The Maze procedure considered the most effective method of treatment for atrial fibrillation. However, the sinus conversion rates decreased due to several factors, especially enlarged left atrium. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Maze procedure with aen atrial volume reduction plasty on rheumatic mitral valve disease, Material and Method: From December of 200f to July of 2004, 45 patients received mitral valve and Maze operation. The patients were placed in either group f or group 2, based on the left atrial volume reduction plasty. The presence and onset of sinus rhythm and the incidence of trans mitral A waves were monitored during the postoperative 7 days and throughout the follow up period of 3 and 6 months. Mean follow up periods were 15.8 10.1 months in group 1 and $6.1\pm2.7$ months in group 2. Result: The sinus onset were $9.88\pm12.2$ days in group 1, and $1\pm3.6$ days in group 2 (p<0.01). The sinus conversion rates in the group 1 and 2 were $65\%,\;75\%$ (p=0.07) in the postoperative 7 days, $70.5\%,\;100\%$ (p<0.01) at postoperative 3 months, and $93\%,\;100\%$ (p<0.01) at postoperative 6 months, respectively. The wave detection rates in the postoperative 7days were $31.2\%\;and\;63.6\%$, and continued to improve over time to $83.3\%\;and\;100\%$ by 6months, respectively. Conclusion: The results suggest that Maze procedure with left atrial volume reduction plasty is effective for inducing sinus rhythm and for restoring left atrial contractile function after concomitant rheumatic mitral valve surgery. However further follow up of this patients for long time is necessary.

There have been a number of observed precursors of volcanic activities- such as volcanic earthquake, surface inflation, specific volcanic gas emission, temperature of hot spring- at Mt. Baekdusan since 2002. We identified the increase of the volume of magma chamber beneath Mt. Baekdusan as we observed an inflation trend of vertical and horizontal surface displacement around Cheonji caldera lake by using precise leveling data from 2002 to 2009. The surface displacement trend changed to deflation in 2010, and the trend changed to inflation again after a while. Utilizing the data of inflated surface (46.33 mm) on the northern slope of Mt. Baekdusan from 2002 to 2003, we calculated the volume change of magma chamber beneath the Mt. Baekdusan. The volume change was about 0.008 $km^3$ ($7.7-8.0{\times}10^6m^3$) from 2002 to 2003. It indicated that a new magma (0.008 $km^3$) injected to the magma chamber 5 km below Mt. Baekdusan.

Physico-chemical changes caused by salting Korean radish cubes (for Kakdugi) with sodium chloride solution were investigated. Two-centimter cubes of Korean radish were soaked in saline solution of 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 percent concentration. Optimum salinity, 3% as determined by taste, was reached in six hours at 5% strength, two hours in 10%, one hour at 15% and within one hour at concentration of 15% plus. Radish cubes salted in 5, 10. 15, 20 and 25% sodium chloride solution in a cube/solution weight ratio of 1:1 decreased in volume from 7.6 to 11.2% after one hour, and from 11.2 to 17.9% after six hours. Decrease in moisture content was from 83.0 to 75.9% in one hour and from 74.5 to 68.5% after six hours. $Potassium\;ion(K^+)$, $calcium\;ion(Ca^{2+})$ and $magnesium\;ion(Mg^{2+})$ content was significantly decreased by salting, but $sodium\;ion(Na^+)$ content greatly increased. In addition, salting caused firmness of the cubes to decrease, and cell shapes to shrink by plasmolysis.

This study investigated a utilization technology of light burned dolomite. light burned dolomite ($CaMg(CO_3)_2$) generated in furnace (steel manufacturer) is an alternative to quick lime. Using light burned dolomite has an effect on reducing the consumption of fluorite slag MgO concentration in supersaturated solution by prolonging the life of softening effect. Armophous MgO, not containing periclase is formed by firing dolomite under $800^{\circ}C$. It has larger surface area and higher reactivity than periclase, and also shows better expansion effect than quicklime. Due to those effects, therefore, armophous MgO produced from light burned dolomite is used as an alternative expansion agent in mortar. In the experiment, characteristics of light burned dolomite were compared to those of existing expansion agents such as anhydrite and quicklime. Then, each expansion and shrinkage rates were measured over a period of about 3 months in both of 1m Jis mold at labscale and apartment mortar flooring at field scale. In the result, it was observed that light burned dolomite in mortar flooring more compensates for the expansion and shrinkage rates than the existing expansion agents, showing low expansion rate of below 0.05% and also decreases the crack.

The demand characteristics of the conventional 12 kinds of epoxy resins which have been used for restoration of the ceramic relics were investigated to provide standards of the effective materials in this study. The result of durability analysis showed that a liquid type is more effective in ceramic relics (low damage, high strength), and a paste type is more effective in earthenware relics (high damage, low strength). The result of workability analysis appears that the liquid type is higher than the paste type, and a slow curing type is higher than a fast curing type in surface hardness. Therefore, in the case of the liquid type which is hard to reprocess due to high surface hardness, it is necessary to conduct a study on improving physical properties by adding filler. The result of the gloss analysis on epoxy resins showed that the liquid type (colorless) has higher gloss than the paste type, and the slow curing type has higher gloss than the fast curing type in liquid types. CDK-520A/520B and Araldite SV 427-2/HV 427-1 showed the most similar gloss to $700^{\circ}C$ earthenware, Devcon 5 minute, EPO-TEK 301-2, and Quik Wood showed the most similar gloss to celadon and whiteware, Quik Wood, EPO-TEK 301-2, and Devcon 5 minute showed the most similar gloss to buncheongware. It is necessary for conservator to decide the range of the restoration surface by predicting the increase and decrease of the restoration surface because most of the epoxy resins caused the volume change in curing process.

어느 한 계가 양수의 발산지수(Lyapunov exponent)를 가질 때 이 계는 카오스계로 분류되며 그 동특성은 예측이 불가능해 진다. 감쇠 기계계(소산계)에서는 위상공간(phase space)의 초기 부피가 시간에 따라 수축한다. 발산 지수들의 합은 음수이며 그 기계계의 감쇠와 관련되며, 따라서 발산지수들의 합은 감쇠의 변화를 감시하는데 사용되어질 수 있다. 그러나 그 감쇠변화를 감시하기 위해서는 발산지수를 계산하는데 사용하는 신호(data) 부분(segment)이 짧아야 한다. 이는 문제점을 야기시키는데 그 이유는 발산지수가 아주 많은 양의 발산률(divergence rate)의 평균으로서 구해지기 때문이다. 이 문제를 극복하기 위해서, 본 저자는 '순간발산지수(Instantaneous Lyapunov Exponent)'를 도입하였으며, 이 순간발산지수들의 합이 어떻게 기계계의 감쇠와 관련되어지는 가에 대하여 기술하였다. 미분방적식과 시계열(time series)을 이용한 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션은 '순간발산지수들의 합'의 중요성을 입증하였다. 그러나 시계열(또는 실험신호)로 부터의 정확한 순간발산지수를 측정하기는 매우 힘들기 때문에 '부분발산지수(Short term averaged Lyapunov Exponent)'를 또한 도입하였다.
