The effect of fly ash addition to the kaolin block has been investigated. The addition affected the firing temperature and physical properties such as water absorption and compressive strength. The starting materials were from korea natural resources and the fly ash were from the power plant using coal as fuel, containing free carbon of 8∼9 wt%. The starting natural materials were mixed with 5 different proportions of fly ash, pressed and then sintered at 1050, 1100, 1150 and 1200${\circ}C$. With sintering temperature, water absorption decreased and compressive strength increased. When specimens were sintered at the temperature lower than 1100${\circ}C$, water absorption increased and strength decreased with fly ash content. In contrast, when sintering was done at the temperature higher than 1150${\circ}C$, water absorption increased with fly ash content similarly but strength was improved.

In this paper, we propose a fast GPU-based method for representing pore flow, absorption, emission, and diffusion effects represented by cloth-liquid interactions using smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH), a particle-based fluid solver: 1) a unified framework for GPU-based representation of various physical effects represented by cloth-liquid interactions; 2) a method for efficiently calculating the saturation of a node based on SPH and transferring it to the surrounding porous particles; 3) a method for improving the stability based on Darcy's law to reliably calculate the direction of fluid absorption and release; 4) a method for controlling the amount of fluid absorbed by the porous particles according to the direction of flow; and finally, 5) a method for releasing the SPH particles without exceeding their maximum mass. The main advantage of the proposed method is that all computations are computed and run on the GPU, allowing us to quickly model porous materials, porous flows, absorption, reflection, diffusion, etc. represented by the interaction of cloth and fluid.

In this paper, the physical properties of lightweight aggregate such as density and water absorption according to addition ratio and type of flux were investigated. When using $Na_2CO_3$ as flux of lightweight aggregate, burnability was available at low burning temperature and water absorption increased. And as increasing addition ratio of $CaCO_3$, NaOH, $Fe_2O_3$, absorption decreased and $CaCO_3$, NaOH, $Fe_2O_3$ were considered improper to use flux of lightweight aggregate because of high dried density. $Na_2SO_4$ was proper to use flux of lightweight aggregate due to dried density $1.35{\sim}1.50g/cm^3$ and lower absorption. When using glass abrasive sludge as flux of lightweight aggregate, dried density and water absorption were in the range of $1.45{\sim}1.55g/cm^3$ and 9~12% respectively. It was indicated that as increasing addition ratio of blast furnace slag powder, density increased whereas absorption decreased. In use of oxidizing slag as flux, artificial lightweight aggregate which have dried density $1.46g/cm^3$, water absorption 8,5 % can be manufactured at 10 % of addition ratio.

The concrete aggregate generates carbon dioxide in production but its demanding is gradually increased in accordance with the depletion of natural resources. Therefore we evaluated compatibility and basic physical properties of Silicon manganese slag generated in iron production as an applicable concrete aggregate. In our test, the silicon maganese slag shows 2.8g/㎥ of density in 10mm of maximum particle size similar to a natural aggregate, and its absorption rate was 0.3% similar to the electric furnace slag. Unit volume weight and ratio of absolute volume was respectively 2,001㎏/㎥ and 51%. Strength properties of Silicon manganese slag will be evaluated with further studies and experiments.

Oriental painting paper (Hwaseonji) was prepared from various kinds of plant fibers and its physical properties were investigated. The fibers used were classified into three different length of fibers; long fiber (<1.8 mm), medium fiber (1.4-1.8 mm) and short fiber (>1.4 mm). The fibers were mixed in the ratio of 15% long fiber, 25% medium fiber and 60% short fiber. The Hwaseonji prepared from mixing of the bamboo or rice straw pulp as a short fiber with the long and medium fibers showed excellent physical properties with a high smoothness and uniformity of Chinese ink blot. Mixing with LBKP as a short fiber was resulted in low physical properties, smoothness and wide ink blot. The properties of Hwaseonji, such as ink absorption, roughness and smoothness, may be predicted from the correlation of density with Chinese ink blot and smoothness.

Physical properties of oral adhesive tablets prepared with four kinds of gums for topical or systemic drug delivery were investigated. Oral adhesive tablets containing 5mg of brilliant blue(BB) were prepared from direct compression. Viscosity of 2% gum solutions, water absorption, fracture resistance, stickiness of tablets, and dissolution of BB in pH 6.8 dissolution medium were tested. Acacia showed good stickiness and fracture resistance, and tragacanth showed good retarding effect on the release of BB from tablets. Therefore, tablets with varing ratios of acacia and tragacanth were prepared and their physical properties were examined. In conclusion, it was possible to obtain some adequate properties by compounding acacia and tragacanth.

The effect of granule size of dried red ginseng extract on physical characteristics on tablet such as hardness, color, yield and disintegration time was studied. A moisture proofing agent was found to be necessary to form granules without serious absorption of moisture. The result showed that decrease in particle size resulted increase of values in weight, hardness and disintegration time. The granule size of 60∼80 mesh was found to be optimum for proper color uniformity and other physical characteristics of tables.

Artificial fine aggregates (denoted AFA) were fabricated using spent bleaching clay (denoted SBC) generated from processed vegetable oil and stone sludge (denoted SS) produced from crushed aggregate manufacturing materials for use as functional construction materials. Each raw material was crushed to particle size finer than $150{\mu}m$, and fine spherical pellets of approximately 1 ~ 4 mm in diameter were prepared by a pelletizing process. The physical properties of the AFA were measured with different types of sintering equipment. A new type of vertical furnace that sinters fine aggregates in a fluidized bed at high temperatures was designed and tested. AFA sintered in a rotary kiln at $1125^{\circ}C$ showed a bulk density of $1.5g/cm^3$ and a water absorption of 16%. AFA sintered in the vertical furnace at $1125^{\circ}C$ showed a bulk density of $1.9g/cm^3$ and water absorption of 8.5%. The bulk density of the AFA sintered in the vertical furnace showed a bulk density 27% higher and water absorption 47% lower than those of AFA sintered in the rotary kiln.

Various jumping and landing motions are shown during sports event. But most previous studies have not considered landing height and distance simultaneously. The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of landing height and distance on knee injury mechanism. Fourteen male(age: $28.86{\pm}1.99$ yrs, height: $177.00{\pm}4.69$ cm, weight: $76.50{\pm}6.41$ kg) participated in this study. The subjects attempted drop landing task onto the ground from 30 cm to 45 cm heights and to 20 cm to 40 cm distances. The results were as follows. First, higher drop landing height and longer distance showed greater degree of maximal knee flexion and valgus. Second, higher drop landing height and longer distance showed greater maximal knee extension moment and varus moment. Third, higher drop landing height and longer distance showed larger maximal knee absorption power. Lastly, higher drop landing height showed increased Peak GRF. Landing height was more related to the cause of injury, which was indicated by increased maximal knee extension moment, peak GRF and maximal knee absorption power. Landing distance was also associated with increased knee valgus moment and absorption power during landing. These results suggest that landing height and distance may be the cause of injury.

This research estimated the physical. mechanical characteristic and the character of sound absorption according to target void ratio of porous concrete and the mixing ratio of recycled aggregate for the valid utilization of recycled aggregate using waste concrete and sound reduction out of a road, a railway, a residential street, and a downtown area. As a result of the test, compressive strength tended to be a radical strength fall when target void ratio was $25\%$ and contents of recycled aggregate exceeded over $50\%$. Also, the character of sound absorption of porous concrete which used recycled aggregate using waste concrete was the most excellent when target void ratio was $25\%$, and the influence by contents of recycled aggregate was trivial. Therefore, when the strength and the character of sound absorption of porous concrete are considered, it is proved valid that proper target void ratio was $25\%$ and contents of recycled aggregate using waste concrete was $50\%$ or so.
