Effects of elevated $CO_2$ on soil microorganisms are known to be mediated by various interactions with plants, for which such effects are relatively poorly documented. In this review, we summarize and syn­thesize results from studies assessing impacts of elevated $CO_2$ on soil ecosystems, focusing primarily on plants and a variety the of microbial processes. The processes considered include changes in microbial biomass of C and N, microbial number, respiration rates, organic matter decomposition, soil enzyme activities, microbial community composition, and functional groups of bacteria mediating trace gas emission such as methane and nitrous oxide. Elevated $CO_2$ in atmosphere may enhance certain micro­bial processes such as $CH_4$ emission from wetlands due to enhanced carbon supply from plants. How­ever, responses of extracellular enzyme activities and microbial community structure are still controversy, because interferences with other factors such as the types of plants, nutrient availabilitial in soil, soil types, analysis methods, and types of $CO_2$ fumigation systems are not fully understood.

The ventilation performance of a street in Bangkok, Thailand, was investigated by performing measurements and conducting a CFD analysis. We focused on a street that was covered by an elevated train station. It was shown that the ventilation efficiency varied drastically depending on the angle between the street and the wind direction. When the wind direction was parallel to the street, the elevated structure had a negative influence, which created higher pollutant concentrations than in locations without elevated structures. However, when the wind direction was perpendicular to the street, the pollutant concentrations in the two situations were similar. Using a CFD analysis and ventilation performance indexes, it was shown that the elevated structure directed the wind flow and enhanced the ventilation efficiency, which positively affected ventilation performance. These kinds of knowledge can lead us to optimize city planning including high-rise buildings with high ventilation efficiency.

The IHX (Intermediate Heat eXchanger) for a pool-type SFR (Sodium-cooled Fast Reactor) system transfers heat from the primary high temperature sodium to the intermediate cold temperature sodium. The upper structure of the IHX is a coaxial structure designed to form a flow path for both the secondary high temperature and low temperature sodium. The coaxial structure of the IHX consists of a central downcomer and riser for the incoming and outgoing intermediate sodium, respectively. The IHX of a pool-type SFR is supported at the upper surface of the reactor head with an IHX support structure that connects the IHX riser cylinder to the reactor head. The reactor head is generally maintained at the low temperature regime, but the riser cylinder is exposed in the elevated temperature region. The resultant complicated temperature distribution of the co-axial structure including the IHX support structure may induce a severe thermal stress distribution. In this study, the structural feasibility of the current upper support structure concept is investigated through a preliminary stress analysis and an alternative design concept to accommodate the IHTS (Intermediate Heat Transport System) piping expansion loads and severe thermal stress is proposed. Through the structural analysis it is found that the alternative design concept is effective in reducing the thermal stress and acquiring structural integrity.

In the recent railway construction, the concrete slab track is highlighted as the maintenance-free track and the main stream is moving from ballasted track to concrete slab track. However, in spite of many merits of concrete slab track, the higher noise generated from the concrete slab track is a troublesome question to solve and, by this reason, many studies on noise reduction of concrete slab track are carried out. The railway noise can be classified into the reflection noise emitted from wheel/rail contact and the structure-borne noise transmitted through railway structures. In this presentation, we would like to introduce an example of the successful reduction of structure-borne noise at track retrofitting to maintenance-free concrete slab track in elevated Changdong Station which was built with ballasted track on Rahmen structure.

The monorail system as new transportation system mostly has being constructed as an elevated construction and the track beam as mostly main work type occupy the important parts. The structure of monorail system, the track beam support directly vehicle's load and comprised of the track beam structure to be traveling side and understructure to be transmitted from their load to the ground. In particular, in case of construction to elevated structure in the center of a city, it is important to decision plan for span to be considered the economic, execution and maintenance according to transport, installation, and the structure problem, scene and civil appeals to be decided the beam elevation and span. Therefore the standard span of monorail track beam shall be considered the efficient execution, economic and transportation. And propose to reasonable decision plan incorporated the minimizing the road occupied width due to openness to center of a city and bridge pole, minimize to basis size.

Hardened cement-based materials exposed to the high temperatures of a fire are known to experience change in the pore structure as well as microstructural changes that affect their mechanical properties and tend to reduce their durability. In this experimental investigation, hardened Portland cement pastes were exposed to elevated temperatures of 200, 400, 600, 800, and $1000^{\circ}C$ for 60 minutes, and the resulting damage was studied by thermogravimetry (TG), mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) and density measurements. These results revealed that the residual compressive strength is increased at temperatures greater than $400^{\circ}C$ due to a small pore size of 3 nm and/or rehydration of the dehydrated cement paste. However, a loss of the residual strength occurs at temperatures exceeding 500 and $600^{\circ}C$. This can be attributed to the decomposition of hydrates such as portlandite and to an increase in the total porosity.

선하역사 내부에 발생하는 소음을 저감하기 위해서는 진동의 감소가 필요하며, 보다 효과적인 진동 저감 대책 수립을 위해서는 궤도-접속교량-구조물의 상호작용 특성을 감안하여 열차 운행으로 발생하는 진동이 전달되는 경로 및 특성에 대한 명확한 이해가 필요하다. 이 논문에서는 국내 선하역사 현황을 구조적으로 분류하고 대표 선하역사에 대한 진동 측정을 통하여 역사에 발생하는 진동의 전달 특성을 분석하였다. 주파수응답을 통한 분석 결과 궤도의 진동이 역사로 전달되면서 고주파 성분이 큰 감소를 나타냈으며, 일부 역사에서 저주파 대역 내 증폭 구간이 발견되었다. 플로팅궤도가 적용되거나 TPS 구조의 역사는 궤도로부터 전달되는 진동이 비교적 큰 감소를 나타냈다.

GIDL(Gate-Induced Drain-Leakage)을 줄일 수 있는 새로운 구조의 ESD(Elevated Source Drain) MOSFET을 제안하고 분석하였다. 제안된 구조는 SDE(Source Drain Extension) 영역이 들려진 형태를 갖고 있어서 SDE 임플란트시 매우 낮은 에너지 이온주입으로 인한 저활성화(low-activation) 효과를 방지 할 수 있다. 제안된 구조는 건식 식각 및 LAT(Large-Angle-Tilted) 이온주입 방법을 사용하여 소오스/드레인 구조를 결정한다. 기존의 LDD MOSFET과의 비교 시뮬레이션 결과, 제안된 ESD MOSFET은 전류 구동능력은 가장 크면서 GIDL 및 DIBL(Drain Induced Barrier Lowering) 값은 효과적으로 감소시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다. GIDL 전류가 감소되는 원인으로는 최대 전계의 위치가 드레인 쪽으로 이동함에 따라 최대 밴드간 터널링이 일어나는 곳에서의 최대 전계값이 감소되기 때문이다.

국내에 건설 운영 중인 경전철 고가구조물은 설계 당시 경전철 고가구조물 설계기준이 마련되어 있지 않아 일반 철도교 설계기준 및 국외 차량제작사에서 제시한 설계기준을 참조하여 설계된 관계로, 고가구조물이 과다 설계되어 비경제적으로 건설된 주된 이유가 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 고무차륜형 경량전철이 고가구조물 위를 각각 50km/h, 60km/h, 70km/h의 속도로 주행 중 5개 제동 지점별로 제동 시 고가 하부구조물에 작용하는 제동하중을 현장 계측시험을 통해 분석하였고, 현재 설계시 반영되고 있는 철도설계기준과 비교하였다. 본 연구에서 제시된 제동하중 시험분석 결과는 향후 경전철 고가구조물 설계기준 제정 시 참조될 수 있다.
