The autogenous shrinkage of high-performance concrete, including very-early strength latex-modified concrete(VES-LMC), is generally bigger than that of normal strength concrete because of the low water/cement ratio, high binder contents, and usage of superplasticizer. Mix. proportion of VES-LMC has low water/cement ratio(0.38), high cement content(390kg/m$^3$), and aid of latex(15% of cement weight). Thus, these factors of VES-LMC, rapid water self-dissipation and evaporation within 3 hours of concrete placement would increase the autogenous shrinkage. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the early-age shrinkage, thermal deformation and autogenous shrinkages of VES-LMC with retarder contents(retarder solids-cement ratio, by weight) using to secure working time in field. The experimental results showed that retarder contents do not affect of the maximum hydration temperature. Early-age expansion of VES-LMC was mostly caused by thermal expansion and partly by autogenous expansion. The autogenous shrinkage is decreased by increasing the retarder contents within this study. On the other hand, the usage of retarder should be decided carefully considering the field conditions because an excessive usage of retarder can cause handful early-age expansion.

Zinc fluosilicate ($ZnSiF_6$, 15% aqueous solution) was prepared using zinc oxide (ZnO) and fluosilicic acid ($H_2SiF_6$) by soluiton synthetic method. The fluidity and hydration properties of cement which was added $ZnSiF_6$ (aq.) as an additive for cement were studied. At water to cement ratio (W/C) equals to 0.45, the initial fluidity and slump loss of cement paste which the addition of $ZnSiF_6$ (aq.) was increased from 1.0% to 4.0% based on cement weight were investigated. Initial fluidity of cement paste was measured by mini-slump test and slump loss was examined by measuring the fluidity variation of cement paste with time elapsed from 0 min to 120 min at intervals 30 min. Also, the effect of $ZnSiF_6$ addition on the setting and hydration of cement paste when $ZnSiF_6$ increased in the addition range 1.0% to 3.0% were investigated. The fluidity of cement paste which was added 2.1% $ZnSiF_6$ (aq.) presented the highest value among all addition ranges. The setting time of cement paste was retarded gradually and the heat evolution of hydrated cement was reduced with the increasing of $ZnSiF_6$ addition.

This study aims to develop a FE Model to simulate dissimilar friction stir welding and to address its potential for fundamental analysis and practical applications. The FE model is based on Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian approach. Multiphysics systems are calculated using explicit time integration algorithm, and heat generations by friction and inelastic heat conversion as well as heat transfer through the bottom surface are included. Using the developed model, friction stir welding between an Al6061T6 plate and an AZ61 plate were simulated. Three simulations are carried out varying the welding parameters. The model is capable of predicting the temperature and plastic strain fields and the distribution of void. The simulation results showed that temperature was generally greater in Mg plates and that, as a rotation speed increase, not the maximum temperature of Mg plate increased, but did the temperature of Al plate. In addition, the model could predict flash defects, however, the prediction of void near the welding tool was not satisfactory. Since the model includes the complex physics closely occurring during FSW, the model possibly analyze a lot of phenomena hard to discovered by experiments. However, practical applications may be limited due to huge simulation time.

The growth experiment under shading condition has been performed to understand the eco-physiological responses of crops to light in terms of photosynthesis. There are two types of shading: overall shading and partial shading. In this study, the chlorophyll fluorescence of soybean was observed under the overall shading of the box made by polyresin and the partial shading at agrivoltaic system. The overall shading condition during vegetative growth induced lower SPAD and Electron transport rate (ETR). These lower values recovered after removal of shading box. However, the Non-photochemical fluorescence quenching (NPQ) became lower under overall shading and higher under partial shading. Such increase in NPQ limited crop photosynthesis even though the ETR was almost same to the control without shading treatment. Under the condition of partial shading, the values of SP AD and ETR for soybean did not change. However, the NPQ was higher than control condition. This suggests that the crop photosynthesis under both types of shading would be decreased by different eco-physiological processes which are the lower ETR in overall shading and the higher NP Q in partial shading despite the reduced light under shading conditions.

In order to investigate interannual variation of total ozone and reflectivity over the globe, Nimbus-7/TOMS data were used on the monthly mean and its anomaly for the period of 1979-92. This study also examined MSU channel 4(Ch4; lower-stratosphere) brightness temperature data and two model reanalyses of NCEP and GEOS to compare the ozone variation with atmospheric thermal condition. In addition, the MSU channel 1(Ch1 ; lower-troposphere) brightness temperature was used to compare with the reflectivity. The ozone showed strong annual cycle with downward trend(-6.3${\pm}$0.6 DU/decade) over the globe, and more distinct response to volcanic eruption than El Ni${\tilde{n}$o. The relationship between total ozone and MSU Ch4 observation, and between the ozone and model reanalyses of lower stratosphere temperature showed positive correlation(0.2-0.7) during the period of 1980-92. Reflectivity increased interannually by 0.2${\pm}$0.06%/decade over the globe during the above period and reflected El Ni${\tilde{n}$o(1982-83, 1991-92) well. Its variability in annual cycle was remarkably smaller in tropics than in higher latitudes. This is inferred due to cloud suppression and tropical upwelling regions. Reflectivity correlated negatively(-0.9) to the Ch1 temperature over the globe, but positively(0.2) over tropical ocean. The positive value over the ocean results from the effect of microwave emissivity which increases the Ch1 temperature with enhanced hydrometeor activity. Significant correlations between total ozone and the Ch4 temperature, and between reflectivity and the Ch1 Suggest that the TOMS data may use valuably to better understand the feedback mechanism of climate change.

This study evaluated the influence of chemomechanical caries removal agent $Carisolv^{TM}$(MediTeam, Sweden) for composite resin adhesion to sound human permanent and primary dentin. The buccal/labial surfaces of 80 permanent molars and 80 primary incisors were used. Four types of adhesives and one composite resin were used; AQ Bond(Sun Medical, Japan), Clearfil SE Bond(Kuraray, Japan), Single Bond(3M, USA), Scotchbond Multi-Purpose(3M, USA) and Z100(3M, USA). One drop of $Carisolv^{TM}$(MediTeam, Sweden) was pretreated on the dentin for 0 second(control) and 60 seconds. The specimens were thermocycled for 1,000 times in baths kept 5 degrees C and 55 degrees C with a 30 seconds dwell time. Shear bond strengths were tested and the data was statistically analyzed using one-way ANOVA with subsequent post hoc Scheffe test at p<0.05. $Carisolv^{TM}$ treatment significantly decreased the shear bond strength. Shear bond strength of permanent dentin was significantly higher than that of primary dentin. Clearfil SE Bond treatment groups showed the highest shear bond strength and AQ Bond treatment groups showed the lowest shear bond strength.
