Field and laboratory tests were performed to investigate the swelling(L value) and shrinkage modulus (C value) of soil and rock mixtures using 2 sites. According to test results, when disturbed soil and rock were mixed with same amount (5:5), the maximum density was achieved and showed 19% and 18% increased at each site comparing with the unit weight of rock only. Since measured L values of mixtures were overestimated about 4 to 11% compare to estimated values based on the conventional method. While C values were underestimated about 13~20% compare to conventional values due to the development of compacting equipments and effective construction management. When rock and soil were mixed in the ratio of 5 to 5, the unit weight of the mixture was higher than that of other mixtures and rock or soil only.

Streptomyces spp. were isolated from rhizosphere in fallow lands. The Streptomyces spp. were identified as Streptomyces griseus (MSS181), Streptomyces griseoaurantiacus (MSS269), Streptomyces microflavus (MSS275), Streptomyces herbaricolor (MSS276) based on 16S rRNA gene sequences. Afterwards, cucumber, pepper, tobacco and tomato were drenched with the isolates at early growth stages and plant growth such as height and dry weight of plants was measured. By treatment of Streptomyce spp., plant height of cucumber was increased by 16-29% compared to the control, But there were no statistically significant differences in dry weight. When the same isolates were treated on chili-pepper, plant height and dry weight of chili-pepper were increased respectively by 10-19% and 19-25% compared to the control. The dry weight of tobacco and tomato were increased by 44-73% and 65-165%, respectively compared to the control. When antifungal activities of the isolates were tested against plant pathogenic fungi, Streptomyces microflavus (MSS275) effectively inhibited the mycelial growth of Phytophthora capsici, Fusarium oxysporum, Rhizoctonia solani and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum.

To develop the effective method for chestnut peeling, we examined the effect of peeling by acid and alkali treatment on their concentration, immersion temperature and time. Furthermore the physical properties of chestnut were investigated. In alkali treatment, 9% NaOH treated at 40$^{\circ}C$ for 9min was the most efficient for peeling outer peel, while acid treatment was less effective. But in the peeling of inner peel, acid treatment was more effective than alkali, especially, 3% HCIO$_4$ treated at 50$^{\circ}C$ for 30 min was the most effective. The correalation coefficient between weight and inner(outer) peel weight was higher than other physical properties, and multiple regression equation was established for predicting inner(outer) peel weight.

Small cherry specimens modified with acetic anhydride and formaldehyde vapor phase were weathered by outdoor exposure and accelerated conditioning in a climate chamber. The effects of the chemical modification were evaluated by measuring their weight percentage gains (WPG), hygroscopicity and color differences before and after weathering. The average WPGs of the 72 hour acetylated and formaldehyde-treated specimens were 8.1 and 15.7%, respectively. After outdoor exposure for more than 2 months, the acetylated specimens lost weights by only 1.5%, but the formaldehyde-treated did much more than the formers. It was revealed that acetylation reduced the hygroscopicity and discoloration of wood while formaldehyde treatment didn't. Moreover the longer is the formaldehyde treatment time the more degraded after weathering. It was concluded that the vapor-phase acetylation could be applied for improving the dimensional stability of old wooden blocks.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the workability and various mechanical properties of heavyweight magnetite concrete and examine the reliability of the design equations specified in code provisions. The main parameters investigated were the water-to-cement ratio and substitution level of normal-weight coarse aggregate (granite) for magnetite. The oven-dried unit weight of concrete tested ranged between 2446 and $3426kg/m^3$. The measured mechanical properties included compressive strength development, stress-strain curve, splitting tensile strength, moduli of elasticity and rupture, and bond stress-slip relationship of concrete. Test results revealed that the initial slump of heavyweight magnetite concrete increased as the substitution level of normal-weight coarse aggregate increases. The substitution level of normal-weight coarse aggregate had little influence on the compressive strength and tensile resistance capacity of heavyweight concrete, while it significantly affected the modulus of elasticity and stress-strain curves of such concrete. The design equations of ACI 349-06 and CEB-FIP provisions mostly conservatively predicted the mechanical properties of heavyweight magnetite concrete, but the empirical equations for modulus of elasticity and splitting tensile strength need to be modified considering the unit weight of concrete.

Quality evaluation and hazard management of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) which was prepared within the harvesting seasons were analyzed. Eatable weight was highest in the summer (953.40 g)>spring (912.27 g)>fall (895.28 g) lettuce, but sugar content showed the highest concentration in the spring. Total color of summer lettuce was the brightest in comparison with other seasons. Fall lettuce's color increased in yellowness more than greenness. Minerals of lettuce were abundant in the following order of K>Ca>Na>Mg>Fe in all seasons. Chlorophyll content, showing the similar trend to vitamin C, was the lowest in summer. Among the 48 different pesticides tested, only chlorthalonil was detected in a minute content from fall lettuce. In conclusion, summer lettuce was inferior to spring and fall in quality because of hot weather.

Research on elevator noise has mainly focused on the cause of its occurrence and measures to reduce it. There is still insufficient research on how to accurately measure and evaluate elevator noise. There is a measurement method established as an international standard for the measurement method, but it is also difficult to apply to high-rise apartments, and there are many cases that do not closely reflect the characteristics of elevator noise. In order to solve this problem, a study was conducted to improve the elevator noise measurement method in the current standard. In this study, the characteristics of elevator noise were closely identified. Through frequency analysis of the elevator noise and other equipment, it was verified that the elevator noise is noise with different characteristics from other equipment. Elevator noise was compared with heavy floor impact noise, which is a representative structural transmission noise, as structural transmission noise. Elevator noise was compared with heavy floor impact noise, which is a representative structural transmission noise, as structural transmission noise. The correlation between bang machine and rubber ball was found to be very high at 0.9 level. As a result, it was verified that the mid-low frequency band of the elevator noise is the main structural transmission noise and cannot be evaluated together with other equipment.

Composite materials were prepared by impregnating water glass into the wood, followed by soaking in solutions of boric acid or phosphoric acid. The effects of these treatments on the physical and mechanical properties of the specimens and especially on its heat resistance were investigated. 1) Weight Percent Gain (WPG)s increased with increase of concentrations of water glass. However, there was little relationship between treatment temperatures and WPG. Generally, WPGs of double treated specimens were higher than single treated ones. 2) Percent shrinkages in each directions of the specimens treated with water glass had higher value than other specimens. Percent shrinkages of the specimens treated with boric acid or phosphoric acid were decreased as compared with untreated specimen. However, the specimens treated with water glass or phosphoric acid showed very high hygroscopicity. 3) The bending strengths of all specimens treated inorganic substances were slightly decreased. However, the values of compressive strength and hardness of most specimens treated with inorganic substances increased or similar to that of untreated specimen except for a phosphoric acid treated specimens. 4) The specimens had good heat resistance. Weight losses of all specimens treated inorganic substances were about 50~70%. In particular, the specimens treated at $300^{\circ}C$ and $400^{\circ}C$ almost kept their shapes.
