To produce asphalt mixtures at temperature significantly below $135^{\circ}C$, called "Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA)", new technologies are currently being developed worldwide. To produce WMA mixtures in this research, foaming technology is adopted to effectively disperse asphalt binder at lower temperature than hot mix asphalt (HMA) in the field. The main objectives of this study are to develop WMA process using foaming technology (WMA-foam) and evaluate its performance characteristics under various temperatures and loading conditions. WMA-foam mixtures were produced by injecting PO 64-22 foamed asphalt into warm aggregates whereas WMA mixtures were produced by adding PO 64-22 asphalt (without foaming) in the warm aggregates. Both dynamic modulus and flow number of WMA-foam mixtures were higher than those of WMA mixtures. Based on the limited dynamic modulus and repeated load test results, it is concluded that the WMA-foam mixtures using warm aggregates at $100^{\circ}C$ are more resistant to fatigue cracking and rutting than WMA mixtures.

Effects of 7.5% potassium sorbate and/or 1% ascorbic acid dip on she]f-life of chicken parts stored at $4^{\circ}C$ was investigated. There was no remarkable difference in the microbial growth between 1% ascorbic acid dipped chicken parts and untreated chicken parts. Off-odor developed after 8 days storage and bacterial spoilage was occurred after 12 days storage. 7.5% potassium sorbate dip significantly retarded mesophilic and psychrotrophic counts compared with untreated, markedly reduced growth rate of Enterobacteriaceae. Fecal coliforms were not detected and bacterial spoilage was not occurred until 21 days storage. off-odor developed after 19 days storage and color was not significantly deteriorated until 21 days storage. Additional effect of 7.5% potassium sorbate and 1% ascorbic acid dip was found on retarded mesophilic, psychrotrophic and Enterobacteriaceae counts compared with 7.5% potassium sorbate dip alone. Bacterial spoilage was not occurred until 21 days storage. off-odor developed after 21 days storage and color was not significantly deteriorated until 21 dayss storage.

Conversion of anaerobic mesophilic digestion to thermophilic range has been investigated using a synthetic sludge. When temperature was raised at a rate of 2, 1, and $0.5^{\circ}C$ per day with continuous feeding, a lower reaction rate was observed with a high rate of temperature change. Although methane fermentation ceased completely for an digesters at thermophilic temperature, acid fermentation continued. Methane fermentation was never achieved even with neutralization during 6 months of resting. The methane formers were completely inactivated by the temperature shock and accumulation of volatile acids due to continuous feeding, while the acid formers lost biological activity quickly, but gradually acclimated to a high temperature. When temperature was raised without feeding, successful thermophilic digestion was achieved with 1 day of resting at thermophilic temperature at a rate of $1^{\circ}C$ per day, and also achieved with 20 days of resting at a direct increase. Conversion to a thermophilic range is easily achieved with resting. A short period of resting is required at a low rate of temperature increase, while a long period of resting enough to balance methane formers with acid fermers makes a conversion possile when temperature is raised at a high rate. Soured thermophilic digesters were recovered after seeding of mesophilic sludges, and sludge seeding could be a good method of start-up, conversion, or recovery of a thermophilic digester. Significant amount of thermophiles seemed to be present in the mesophilic digesters.

This study was conducted to examine temperature effects on hydrogen production in anaerobic fermentation. 18 batch reactors were operated at mesophilic ($35^{\circ}C$) and thermophilic conditions ($55^{\circ}C$) to achieve maximum hydrogen production in anaerobic fermentation. Optimum hydrogen production conditions were also investigated at each temperature. Different trends were observed regarding pH effects on hydrogen production. This effect was not significant for mesophilic fermentation ($35^{\circ}C$). In this case, pH may not drop to interfere hydrogen production during the test. However, hydrogen production decreased without pH control for thermophilic condition ($55^{\circ}C$). Effects of heat treatment were observed for both fermentation process. Hydrogen production with heat treatment was higher than hydrogen production without heat treatment for both fermentation processes. The amount of produced hydrogen for each substrate concentration with temperature changes showed that more hydrogen was produced at $35^{\circ}C$ than at $55^{\circ}C$.

Thermal performance of a thermosiphon for medium-temperature solar thermal application was investigated. The working fluid was Dowtherm A and the container was made of STS 316L. The thermosiphon had a outer diameter of 12.7 mm and a total length of 2 m, where the evaporator and the condenser had the same length of 0.3 m and the adiabatic section was 1.4 m. Both the evaporator and the condenser were aligned horizontal with an elevation difference of 0.18 m to utilize the gravitational force for the working-fluid return. The optimum fill charge ratio of the working fluid was investigated to obtain the maximum heat transport with the lowest thermal resistance. The maximun input thermal load was 500 W and thermal resistance was $0.60^{\circ}C/W$.

현재 업계에서 사용 중인 대부분의 탈지제는 중온 및 고온에서 사용하는 제품이 많으며, 거품의 발생 또한 많으므로 소포제를 넣지 않고서는 사용이 불가능한 약품이 대부분이다. 탈지제 거품의 발생은 탈지제의 세정력을 높이기 위해 주로 사용되는 음이온성 계면활성제의 특성에 의해 나타나게 되는데, 본 연구에서는 음이온성 계면활성제를 사용하지 않음으로 기포의 발생을 억제하고, 동시에 상온에서 사용할 수 있는 약품을 개발함으로써 생산 공정에서의 원가절감과 신뢰성 및 양산성의 향상을 도모하는데 그 목적이 있다.

For application to medium temperature solar collerctors $(80\sim120^{\circ}C)$, a heat pipe should be designed properly to efficiently transfer heat to a hotter condenser than common applications. Among many wick structure candidates for heat pipes of this type, a slab wick was selected based on promising performance data reported previously. The thermal performance of slab wick heat pipes, screen wick heat pipes and thermosyphons with enlarged condenser section were experimentally investigated for comparison purpose. The heat pipes were 8.0 mm O.D. (evaporator section) and 25.4 mm O.D. (condenser section) made of copper. The experimental data of the heat pipes were analysed in terms of thermal resistance against thermal load and coolant temperature.

In this paper, warm asphalt binder was proposed as a substitute for the polymer-modified asphalt binder to get higher viscosity than that of the polymer-modified at the same temperature. Performance grade test and rotational viscosity of warm asphalt binder were conducted to evaluate the property variations due to the addition of admixture. Research results showed that the viscosity of warm asphalt binder at $100^{\circ}C$ was similar to that of the conventional asphalt binder. The performance and durability of warm asphalt binder were also comparable to those of the polymer-modified. It is considered that the active applications of warm asphalt binder can reduce environmental damages due to less diffusions of carbon dioxide compared to the conventional.

동절기 급격한 온도 저하로 인한 적용한계를 극복하기 위하여 composting 기술을 현장에 적용하여 적용 가능성을 검토하고 온도 변화에 따른 분해 특성을 검토하였다. 기초 실험을 통해 영양원과 유류분해 미생물의 첨가에 따른 분해 효율을 점검한 결과 초기 유효 미생물 (유류분해 미생물)의 농도가 낮고 영양원(N, P source)의 불균형으로 인해 영양원의 첨가와 유류분해 미생물을 동시에 투입하는 것이 바람직한 것으로 나타났으며, 동절기 낮은 온도를 극복하기 위해 퇴비를 투입한 Co-composting 기술은 주입된 퇴비의 영향으로 pile 내부의 온도가 30-40일 동안 중온상태를 유지하였으며, 제거효율은 91%로 나타났다. 따라서 유류 오염토양을 복원함에 있어서 동절기에도 별도의 시설투자 없이 효율적으로 유류를 분해시킬 수 있는 CO-Composting 기술의 적응 가능성이 확인되었으며, 난분해성 물질의 생물학적 분해에 있어서도 다양하게 적용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

옥천변성대의 변성진화사를 밝히기 위한 많은 연구의 결과, 중온-중압형의 최고변성조건(약 490-63$0^{\circ}C$, 4.2-9.4 kbar)과 함께 시계방향의 압력-온도-시간 경로가 알려졌다. 이는 드러스트 나페에 의해 옥천변성대의 지각 두께가 증가했으리라는 제안과 일치한다. 하지만 변성작용에 관련된 조산운동을 규명하는데는 여러 가지 어려움이 남아 있다. 특히 변성시기에 대한 논란은 오랫동안 거듭되어 왔으며, 최근의 연구 결과는 옥천변성대의 최고변성작용 시기를 석탄기와 페름기의 경계 부근인 약 300-280 Ma로 규정짓는다. 또한 소위 황강리층의 화강암질 역에서 구한 SHRIMP U-Pb 저어콘 연대도 오차범위가 크긴 하지만, 석탄기의 열 사건을 지지한다. 이상의 연구결과는 지체구조적으로 중요한 의미를 지니며, 특히 옥천변성대와 태백산분지가 서로 다른 진화 과정을 경험한 별개의 지구조구임을 시사한다. 두 지구조구의 봉합은 약 250-220 Ma 사이에 이루어졌으리라 추정되지만, 보다 자세한 해석을 위해서 신뢰할만한 연대 자료의 축적이 필요하다. 그럼에도 불구하고, 이러한 결과들은 옥천대의 진화과정에 대한 기존의 생각과 일부 배치되며, 새로운 지체구조적 파라다임을 요구한다.
