The performance characteristics of high-strength and high-performance concrete are discussed in this review. Recent developments in the field of high-performance concrete marked a giant step forward in high-tech construction materials with enhanced durability, high compressive strength and high modulus of elasticity particularly for industrial applications. There is a growing awareness that specifications requiring high compressive strength make sense only when there are specific strength design advantages. HPC today employs blended cements that include silica fume, fly ash and ground granulated blast-furnace slag. In typical formulations, these cementitious materials can exceed 25% of the total cement by weight. Silica fume contributes to strength and durability; and fly ash and slag cement to better finish, decreased permeability, and increased resistance to chemical attack. The influences of various mineral admixtures such as fly ash, silica fume, micro silica, slag etc. on the performance of high-strength concrete are discussed.

The paper considers a theoretical model for the study of the process of transfer of sulfate ions in saturated porous media - mineral composites. In its turn, the model treats diffusion of sulfate ions into cement based composites, accounting for simultaneous effects such as filling of micro-capillaries with ions and chemical products and liquid push out of them. The proposed numerical algorithm enables one to account for those simultaneous effects, as well as to model the diffusive behavior of separate sections of the considered volume, such as inert fillers. The cases studied illustrate the capabilities of the proposed model and those of the algorithm developed to study diffusion, considering the specimen complex configuration. Computations show that the theoretical assumptions enable one to qualitatively estimate the experimental evidence and the capabilities of the studied composite. The results found can be used to both assess the sulfate corrosion in saturated systems and predict and estimate damage of structures built of cement-based mineral composites.

The paper considers a theoretical model to study sulfate ion diffusion in saturated porous media - cement based mineral composites, accounting for simultaneous effects, such as filling micro-capillaries (pores) with ions and chemical products and liquid push out of them. Pore volume change and its effect on the distribution of ion concentration within the specimen are investigated. Relations for the distribution of the capillary relative radius and volume within the composite under consideration are found. The numerical algorithm used is further completed to consider capillary size change and the effects accompanying sulfate ion diffusion. Ion distribution within the cross section and volume of specimens fabricated from mineral composites is numerically studied, accounting for the change of material capillary size and volume. Characteristic cases of 2D and 3D diffusion are analyzed. The results found can be used to both assess the sulfate corrosion in saturated systems and predict changes occurring in the pore structure of the composite as a result of sulfate ion diffusion.

Based on solid phase extraction, gas chromatography and mass spectrometry procedure for determining phenol and its derivatives in natural water was presented. In solid phase extraction, three types of techniques using solid phase adsorption material were treated with acid and salt, and converted second portion of acetyl derivatives. Under the these condition, extraction efficiency and detection ability dependent on extraction methods were discussed. Obtained results using optimized solid phase extraction techniques showed more convenience, simplifier and lower cost than the conventional analytical methods with holding wide dynamic range and lower detection limits.

This study was undertaken to analyze chemical composition, macro- and micro-mineral contents of ostrich bone with flesh meat (BF), ostrich bone with flesh meat with herb medicine (BFll) and ostrich bone with internal organs (BI). Crude fat of the BFH was lower, but crude protein and crude ash of the BFH were significantly higher than those of the BF and the BI. Among the minerals, Ca, p, Mg, Fe, Cu, Zn content of the BFH were significantly higher than the content in the BF and the BI. The minerals, Pb, Cd and As were not detected in ostrich and herb medicine extracts. From the sensory test of ostrich and herb medicine, the preferences were in the fellowing order; ostrich bone with flesh meat with herb medicine (BFH), ostrich bone with flesh meat (BF), and ostrich bone with internal organs (BI) in extracts.

Background: Cell behavior is the key to tissue regeneration. Given the fact that most of the cells used in tissue engineering are anchorage-dependent, their behavior including adhesion, growth, migration, matrix synthesis, and differentiation is related to the design of the scaffolds. Thus, characterization of the scaffolds is highly required. Micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) provides a powerful platform to analyze, visualize, and explore any portion of interest in the scaffold in a 3D fashion without cutting or destroying it with the benefit of almost no sample preparation need. Main body: This review highlights the relationship between the scaffold microstructure and cell behavior, and provides the basics of the micro-CT method. In this work, we also analyzed the original papers that were published in 2016 through a systematic search to address the need for specific improvements in the methods section of the papers including the amount of provided information from the obtained results. Conclusion: Micro-CT offers a unique microstructural analysis of biomaterials, notwithstanding the associated challenges and limitations. Future studies that will include micro-CT characterization of scaffolds should report the important details of the method, and the derived quantitative and qualitative information can be maximized.

본 연구에서는 채색문화재에 사용된 녹색안료 석록을 국내 산출 석록원광 및 수입산 석록원광과 비교하여 석록의 산지에 대한 단서를 찾고자 하였다. 이를 위해 채색문화재의 화학적, 광물학적 특성을 휴대용 X선형광(p-XRF), 미소부 X선회절과(micro XRD) 주사전자현미경/에너지분산스펙트로메터(SEM/EDS) 분석으로 규명하였다. 석록에 함유되어 있는 납을 열이온화질량분석기로 분석하여 납동위원소비를 구하였다. 채색문화재 중 단청의 석록에서는 atacamite (or botallackite)와 소량의 brochantite, 불화에서는 이외에 malachite가 동정되었다. 종류를 불문하고 채색문화재에 사용된 석록은 Cu와 Cl로 이루어진 atacamite가 대부분이다. 납동위원소비 분석에서는 채색문화재 내 석록이 Mabuchi가 제안한 동북아에 대한 지역별 구분에서 한국남부지역보다 한국북부지역과 중국북부지역 그리고 일본 것과 유사하다. 국내 산출 녹색광물의 납동위원소비는 채색문화재 내 석록의 분포 안에 속하나 수입산 공작석은 큰 차이를 보였다. 채색문화재 내 석록의 주광물인 atacamite가 한반도 남쪽 광산에서는 매우 드물게 산출되는 것과 납동위원소비 결과를 종합할 때 우리나라 채색문화재에 사용된 석록이 한반도 이남에서 산출되었을 가능성은 적다.

We have examined the effect of circadian disturbances induced by night shifts (NSs) on the phenotypes of the tibiae and abdominal adipose tissues (ADTs) in a mouse model by using in vivo micro-computed tomography (micro-CT). We found that the volumes of total and visceral ADTs in the night-shifted group of mice were significantly larger (69 and 92%, respectively) than those in the control. The mean polar moment of inertia, cross-sectional thickness, and bone mineral density of the cortical bone in the night-shifted group of mice were less (13, 5, and 3%, respectively) than those in the control. Moreover, the volume and the thickness of growth plates (GPs) of the tibiae in the night-shifted mice were significantly smaller (22 and 20%, respectively) than those in the control. Taken together, our results indicate that disturbances in the mouse circadian rhythms induced by NSs affect the morphological characteristics of cortical bone, the volume and the thickness of GPs, and the volume of ADTs.

최근 AE 센서를 이용하여 지하 구조물 및 터널의 손상을 모니터링 하는 기법이 널리 활용되고 있다. 지하구조물 내 삽입되는 AE 센서는 커플링(coupling) 상태에 따라 신호의 신뢰도가 결정된다. 건전도 모니터링의 신뢰도를 확보하기 위해서는 커플링 재료의 특성을 이해하는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 블리딩(bleeding)특성을 규명하기 위해 커플링 재료로 포틀랜드 시멘트, 마이크로 시멘트, 그리고 석고를 이용하여 실내실험을 수행하였다. 블리딩 특성에 영향을 미치는 실험 인자를 물-시멘트 배합비율, 재료의 종류, 양생 기간, 그리고 총 주입량으로 결정하였다. 실험결과, 물-시멘트 배합비율과 커플링 주입량이 증가하면 커플링 재료의 블리딩 비율은 증가하는 결과를 보였으며, 포틀랜드 시멘트의 경우 가장 영향이 큰 것으로 분석되었다. 그러나 모든 커플링 재료에서 양생 기간이 블리딩에 미치는 영향은 미미한 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구에서 규명된 커플링 재료의 블리딩 특성결과는 AE 센서 설치 시 적합한 재료 선정을 위하여 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

한국원자력연구소 내 부지에 건설된 지하처분연구시설(KURT, KAERI Underground Research Tunnel)에 대한 기초적인 광물 풍화 및 지화학적 특성을 살펴보았다. 분석 대상 시료는 건설 과정중에 노출된 암석에 대해서 화학적 풍화에 따른 암석의 미시적인 변화를 현미경 및 화학성분 분석 등을 통해 관찰하였다. 풍화가 진행된 화강암의 경우 암석을 구성하고 있는 광물들 주변에 미세하고 작은 균열들이 발달하였다. 특히, 장석 광물의 풍화가 특징적으로 관찰되었고 광물 용해에 따른 Ca 성분의 선택적 용출 현상이 심하였다. 또한, $Fe^{2+}$를 함유한 흑운모의 용해에 의한 $Fe^{2+}$성분의 용출에 의해 주변 광물의 미세균열에 이차생성물로 철산화물 침전이 두드러졌다. 광물내부로 부터 발생된 미세균열은 풍화가 진행되면서 점차 그 규모가 커지고 grain boundary를 따라 매우 먼 거리까지 확장되는 특성을 보여 주었다. 신선한 암석 이 풍화됨에 따라 암석 내에 존재하거나 용출된 화학 성분들은 이러한 미세 균열들을 통해 새로운 이차광물 생성에 관여하거나 그들과 상호 반응하면서 이동하는 것으로 추정된다.
