The object of this study was to evaluate the effect of gibberellins (GA) pasting on the bourse shoot, and not just on the fruit characteristics but also on the quality, of Niitaka pear (Pyrus pyryfolia L). The fruit stalk was treated with GA (control, 25mg/fruit stalk) 35 days after reaching full bloom. In the GA-treated tree, the occurrence of abnormal bourse shoot (52.5%) increased, and the spur bud and flower number decreased. The diameter of the GA-paste-treated fruit increased during the pear growth period with GA treatment. The diameter, length, and weight of the GA-paste-treated fruit increased at harvest time, but the hardness was lower than that of the control. The differences in soluble solid, acidity, and fruit color between the control and the GA-paste-treated fruit were not significant. Post-harvest, during the storage period, the hardness of the GA-paste-treated fruit was lower than that of the control, and its weight loss ratio was higher than that of the control on the $60^{th}$ days of storage.

Desulfurization reaction in a bubble type reactor was carried out by adding three organic acids such as acetic acid, lactic acid, and antic acid to investigate the enhancement of the desulfurization performance of low-grade limestone. Desulfurization of limestone slurry without organic acids initiated to degrade at pH 5.2 or less, whereas organic acid-added limestone slurry exhibited a stable efficiency in the initial desulfurization with slurry pH ranging 4.2~4.5. At slurry pH below 4, the desulfurization performance of limestone slurry with addition of organic acids may be related to the amount of anions produced by dissociation of the organic acids. When limestone slurry had a large amount of anions, a rapid decrease in buffer capacity of slurry pH did not occur. These results were due to the acidity and dissociation of organic acids. The desulfurization performance of low-grade limestone slurry increased in the order of acetic acid (2.6%) < lactic acid (6.4%) < formic acid (16.7%).

The purpose of this study is to determine how effectively waste tire recycled material mixed with flame retardant work in combating fire. As discovered in the previous study, waste tire mixed with cement mortar has more insulation capacity. However, this mortar is weak against fire. Therefore flame retardant, with a specific proportional mix, will be added to increase its fire prevention capacity. Tests will be made in accordance with ISO 5657 procedures for measuring fire ignition time, flame and shape variation of test pieces at the Building Material Test Institute. The test piece will be set up with horizontal levels having a constant radiation heat of $1{\sim}5W/cm^2$. Temperature transfers and increases from the surface into the interior. Combustible gases result due to pyrolysis, and regular contact is maintained between the fire source and the center of the test piece for assessment purposes. Ignition has not been occurred without adding retardant meaning that there is almost no possibility of ignition of waste tire particle. This fact can be considered as fire load to appreciate a volume of combustion materials. Flame is not occurred due to heat-absorbing effect by adding non-organic series retardant into waste tire particle. Conclusions have been summarized as follows; 1) Combustion of building material can be decreased by adding retardant to waste tire-mixing mortar. But compressive strength and insulation capacity of the material should be measured later. 2) Firing prevention and ignition are main points of building fire. Reasonable fire engineering assessment of interior material should be made for establishing effective disaster prevention system.

아크릴계 수지(resin)에 인조 흑연과 탄소나노튜브(carbon nanotube)를 1:1 비율로 혼합한 충전제(filler)와 용제(solvent) 및 기타 첨가제(additives)를 혼합하여 방열도료를 제조하여 수직방향 열전도도를 상온에서 평가하였다. 충전제의 함량을 1, 2, 5 중량 %로 변화시키며 원료들을 준비하여 교반기로 혼합한 뒤 3단 롤 밀(three roll mill)로 분산공정을 진행하여 3 종류의 도료를 제조하였다. 제조한 도료를 가로 11 mm, 세로 11 mm, 두께 0.4 mm의 Al 5052 알루미늄 기판에 스프레이 코팅 방식으로 도포한 후 $150^{\circ}C$에서 30분 동안 열경화 건조 과정을 거쳐 샘플을 제작하였다. 측정 시료의 형상은 대략적으로 Fig. 1과 같다. 열전도도는 식 $k={\alpha}{\cdot}C_p{\cdot}{\rho}$를 사용해서 계산된다. 여기서 k는 열전도도($W/m{\cdot}K$), ${\alpha}$는 열확산계수($mm^2/s$), $C_p$는 비열($J/kg{\cdot}K$), ${\rho}$는 밀도($g/cm^3$)를 나타낸다. 열확산계수는 독일 NETZSCH 사의 Laser Flash Analysis 장비(모델명 LFA 457)를 사용하여 측정하였는데, 기판 뒤쪽에서 레이저를 조사하고 도료층 전면에서 적외선 온도센서를 통해 시간에 따른 온도 상승곡선을 구한 후, 두 물체의 계면에서의 접촉 열저항(contact thermal resistance)을 감안하여 장비에 내장되어 있는 소프트웨어로 열확산계수가 계산된다. 비열은 같은 회사의 DSC(Differential Scanning Calorimetry) 200 F3 장비를 사용해 측정했으며, 밀도는 부피와 질량을 측정한 값을 이용하여 계산하였다. 도료를 도포하지 않은 bare Al plate에 대해서는 쉽게 열확산계수, 비열, 밀도를 측정하여 열전도도를 구할 수 있다. 도료가 코팅된 샘플에 대해서는 도료층을 일부 떼어내 비열을 측정하고, 밀도를 구한 후, 도료층의 열전도도가 2-layer 법으로 장비 내장 소프트웨어로 계산된다, 이때 Al 기판의 열확산계수, 비열, 밀도는 미리 측정한 bare Al plate의 값을 적용하였다. 실험 결과를 Table 1에 정리하였다. 흑연과 탄소나노튜브를 혼합한 충전제를 함유한 아크릴 복합체 박막에서 측정된 열전도도는 보통 고분자 재료의 열전도도 값의 상한 영역에 육박하는 값이며, 충전제 함량이 증가할수록 열전도도가 증가하는 경향을 보이고 있다.

Thermal properties of EVA dust and its risks of coexisting with oxidizer were investigated by a pressure vessel. The decomposition of EVA dust with temperature using DSC and the weight loss with temperature using TGA were also investigated to find the thermal hazard of EVA dust. Using the pressure vessel which can estimate ignition and explosion of EVA dust coexisting with oxidizer by bursting of a rupture disc, many experiments have been conducted by varying the orifice diameter, heating rate, the weight ratio of the sample coexisting with oxidizer, and the species of oxidizer. According to the results of the thermal analysis of EVA dust, a little change of the decomposition initiation temperature with the heating rate could be found and the decomposition temperature zone of EVA dust was 250 to 50$0^{\circ}C$. The risk of EVA dust coexisting with oxidizer was increased as the orifice diameter was decreased. On the other hand, it was increased as the heating rate and the weight ratio of the sample coexisting with oxidizer were increased. In addition, the risk of EVA dust coexisting with oxidizer was affected by the decomposition temperature of the sample and oxidizer, respectively, at slow heating rate, but it was affected by the oxygen weight percent of oxidizer at fast heating rate.

인산-망간 화성피막의 경우 양질의 피막층을 형성하기 위하여 표면조정제를 사용하고 있으며, 화성피막 직전에 표면 조정제 처리를 하여 피막 결정의 미세, 치밀, 균일하게 하는 동시에 피막의 화성시간을 단축하고 있다. 본 연구는 표면조정제의 입자 사이즈에 따른 화성피막 입자 사이즈 변화 및 물리적인 특성 향상을 확인하였다. 하지금속 소재로는 기계구조용 탄소강재(SM45C)을 $50{\times}50{\times}3mm$로 제작하였고, 전처리 공정으로는 탈지 ${\rightarrow}$ 에칭 ${\rightarrow}$ 디스머트 후 표면조정제 입자 사이즈별로 표면조정 후, 화성피막 처리를 하였으며 각 조건에 따른 피막 층의 미세조직은 SEM을 사용하여 관찰하였고, 윤활성은 내마모시험기(Ball on disc)를 사용하여 마찰계수 측정을 통해 확인하였으며, 내식성은 5% NaCl 염수분무를 실시하여 적청 발생 면적으로 측정하였다. 표면조정제의 입자 사이즈는 4종류로 세분화하여 표면조정 후 화성피막 처리하였으며, 표면조정제의 입자 사이즈를 미세화함에 따라 화성피막의 입자 사이즈가 미세, 균일해지고 피막의 치밀도가 향상됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 표면조정제의 미분화는 소재 표면에 작고 치밀한 결정(활성점)을 만들며, 표면조정제의 입자 사이즈가 작아질수록 이러한 활성점의 크기가 미세해지고 화성피막의 입자 사이즈 또한 미세화 시키는 역할을 하는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 이처럼 표면 조정제의 입자 사이즈에 따른 화성피막 입자 사이즈 및 물성변화는 SEM, 내마모시험 및 내식성 시험을 통하여 확인할 수 있었다. 즉, 표면조정제의 입자 사이즈가 미세해질수록, 화성피막의 입자사이즈가 미세화되었고, 윤활성 및 내식성이 향상되는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.

Applications of the drone have been enlarged and study on the quad-copter system has been widely progressed. Quad-copter system is raised vertically with four propellers, and it is free to move side to side, and upper and lower. It is also a typical example of non-linear systems. In this paper, we design two-input fuzzy logic control systems in order to control the quad-copter that is complex nonlinear system. And then we analyze their control rule tables and derive some characteristics that they present skew symmetric property and the control actions are enhanced as the distance from the diagonal band. This property enables the design of other control systems. We here design simple-structured fuzzy logic control systems and simulate them. We confirm some effects of the proposed systems and finally discuss about them.
