In this study, the effect of addition of waste glassy slag produced from recycling of spent catalyst (denoted as waste glass hereafter) on the physical properties of artificial aggregates made of coal bottom ash and dredged soil (7 : 3 by weight base) was evaluated. Especially, the bloating behavior of artificial aggregates was analyzed by performing the relation study between the apparent density, water absorption and microstructure. The apparent density of artificial aggregates increased slightly with sintering temperature at $1050{\sim}1150^{\circ}C$, but decreased above $1150^{\circ}C$ showing bloating phenomenon. The bloating behavior of artificial aggregates was decreased so the apparent density increased with amount of waste glass added. Also, the water absorption of artificial aggregates decreased with sintering temperature. Above $1200^{\circ}C$, big fissure and much liquid were formed at the surface of artificial aggregates and these phenomena could be suppressed by increasing amount of waste glass added. The artificial aggregates fabricated in this study had an apparent density of 1.1~1.6 and water absorption of 8~22 % which meet KS requirements for the artificial lightweight aggregates.

Chlorophyll concentration is an important factor for physical oceanography as well as biological oceanography. For these necessity many oceanographic researchers have been investigated it for a long time. But investigation using vessel is very inefficient, on the other hands, ocean color remote sensing is a powerful means to get fine-scale (spatial and temporal scale) measurements of chlorophyll concentration. Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI), for ocean color sensor, loaded on COMS (Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite), will be launched on late 2008 in Korea. According to the necessity of algorithm for GOCI, we developed chlorophyll algorithm for GOCI in this study. There are two types of chlorophyll algorithms. One is an empirical algorithm using band ratio, and the other one is a fluorescence-based algorithms. To develop GOCI chlorophyll algorithm empirically we used bands centered at 412 nm, 443 nm and 555 nm for the DOM absorption, chlorophyll maximum absorption and for absorption of suspended solid material respectively. For the fluorescence-based algorithm we analyzed in-situ remote sensing reflectance $(R_{rs})$ data using baseline method. Fluorescence Line Height $({\Delta}Flu)$ calculated from $R_{rs}$ at bands centered on 681 nm and 688 nm, and ${\Delta}Flu_{(area)}$ are used for development of algorithm. As a result ${\Delta}Flu_{(area)}$ method leads the best fitting for squared correlation coefficient $(R^2)$.

This study was carried out to explore a new application of board and obtain fundamental properties for producing composite board from sawdust and orange peels. As the mixing rate of orange peels increased from 10% to 40%, water absorption, thickness swelling, modulus of rupture and brinell hardness decreased as follows : 94.1%~86.5%, 27.2%~18.0%, $65.1kgf/cm^2{\sim}39.2kgf/cm^2$ and $195.3kgf/cm^2{\sim}180.3kgf/cm^2$, respectively. As the density of board increased from $0.4g/cm^3$ to $0.8g/cm^3$, thickness swelling, modulus of rupture and brinell hardness increased as follows: 6.4%~17.9%, $4.2kgf/cm^2{\sim}96.6kgf/cm^2$ and $40.4kgf/cm^2{\sim}196.2kgf/cm^2$, respectively. But the water absorption decreased from 149.2% to 58.6%.

New types of patties were prepared with surimi and crab paste, and then characterized. With an increase of additional ratios of crab paste, the moisture (64.8 to $61.5\%$) of the patties slightly decreased while the ash contents (2.3 to $3.7\%$) increased. The Hunter's color values of the patties decreased in lightness (L value, 58.79 to 54.27) but increased in redness (a value, -2.77 to 3.54). Thus, the patties that had added crab paste appeared slightly more reddish. According to the increasing of additional ratios of crab paste, sensory scores on color and flavor increased whereas the texture score decreased. From the above results, based on physical properties and sensory evaluation, the desirable additional ratio of crab paste for preparing patty was $15\%$. The calcium and phosphorus contents of the patties with the addition of $15\%$ crab paste were 148.8 mg/100 g and 139.6 mg/100 g, respectively, and their ratio (approximately 1:1) was the optimal range in body absorption efficiency. The calcium absorption rate with the $15\%$ additions was 4.9 times higher than that of the patty with no additions. Total amino acid content (16,302 mg/100 g) of the $15\%$ additions showed no difference to the patty without additions, and the major amino acids were aspartic acid, glutamic acid, leucine and lysine. Exceptionally, the cysteine content of the patty with the $15\%$ crab paste additions was 2 times higher than that found in the patty without crab paste. The major fatty acids were 16:0, 18:1n-9 and 18:2n-6 of the total lipids, and there was no difference between the patties with and without crab paste. The above results showed that crab paste can be used as a crab surimi gel source.

This study was conducted to determine the effect of the physical and chemical factors on the absorbance when the chemical component of food was rapidly and effectively analyzed with near infrared reflection spectrophotometer. The absorbance was measured within the wavelength range of 1100 and 2500m and at the various sample temperatures. The absorbance was greatly increased with the rising sample temperature. When the grinding time of samples prolonged, the absorbance was decreased. The absorption peaks occurring in the near infrared spectra of meat, meat protein, pork fat and water were attributed to the overtone and combination vibration of C-H, N-H, O-H or C=O bond within the macromolecules of each sample. The absorbance was lower for meat protein than other meat components. Pork fat was characterized by the ${\cdot}CH_2{\cdot}$ absorption peak at the wavelength of 1700 and 2300 nm and water by the relatively high absorption peak at the wavelength of 1450 and 1930 nm. As a result, the absorbance of near infrared reflection spectrum of meat was affected mainly by fat and water in meat.

In this work, the effect of hydrophobic treated silica on the water absorption, thermal stabilities, and mechanical properties of the epoxy nanocomposites were investigated as a function of the silica content. As filler, fumed silica treated by dimethyldichlorosilane was used. It was found that the silica was well dispersed in the epoxy resins by the melt-mixing method with the addition of a silane coupling agent. The water absorption of the nanocomposites decreased with an increase of the silica content due to the effect of hydrophobic treated silica. The thermal properties, such as thermal degradation temperature, glass transition temperature ($T_g$), and coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), of the nanocomposites were improved by the addition of silica. Furthermore, the mechanical properties of the nanocomposites, that is, the tensile strength and modulus, were enhanced with increasing silica content. This was attributed to the physically strong interaction between silica and epoxy resins.

Electrical resistivity is a property associated with both the physical and chemical characteristics of concrete. It allows the evaluation of the greater or lesser difficulty with which aggressive substances penetrate the concrete's core before the dissolution of the passive film process and the consequent reinforcement's corrosion begin. This work addresses the capillary absorption of self-compacting concrete (SCC) with various types and contents of additions, correlating it with its electrical resistivity. To that effect, binary and ternary mixes of SCC were produced using fly ashes (FA) and limestone filler (LF). A total of 11 self-compactable mixes were produced: one with cement (C) only; three with C + FA in 30%, 60% and 70% substitution ratios; three with C + LF in 30%, 60% and 70% substitution ratios; four with C + FA + LF in combinations of 10-20%, 20-10%, 20-40% and 40-20% substitution ratios, respectively; and four reference mixes according to the LNEC E 464 specification, which refers to the NP EN 206-1 norm. The evaluation of the capillarity of the mixes produced was made through the determination of the water absorption by capillarity coefficient according to the LNEC E 393 specification. The electrical resistivity was evaluated using the European norm proposal presented by the EU-Project CHLORTEST (EU funded research Project under 5FP GROWTH programme) and based on the RILEM TC-154 EMC technical recommendation. The results indicate that SCC's capillarity is strongly conditioned by the type and quantity of the additions used. It was found that FA addition significantly improves some of the properties studied especially at older ages.

The article is devoted to the interpretation of ammonia, one of the fine dust precursors, absorption behavior in water turbulent flow. The water flow was considered as a turbulent flow with Reynolds number more than $10^4$, because ammonia gas penetration depth was deeper at turbulent flow compared to laminar flow. For the interpretation, the dimensionless mass transfer governing-equation and the constant physical-properties at room temperature were used. The diffusivity of ammonia in water and the kinematic viscosity of water were $2{\times}10^{-9}m^2/s$ and $1{\times}10^{-6}m^2/s$, respectively. The concentration distribution of ammonia in water was estimated with respect to the position from the point where the water started to be exposed to ammonia. The quantitative distribution as a function of the mixing length was also acquired. The quantitative interpretation may provide the insight how much the turbulent flow was more efficient to remove ammonia rather than the laminar flow.

Rice Husk Ash (RHA) geopolymer paste activated by sodium aluminate were characterized by X-ray diffractogram (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersion X-Ray analysis (EDAX)and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Five series of RHA geopolymer specimens were prepared by varying the Si/Al ratio as 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 and 3.5. The paper focuses on the correlation of microstructure with hardened state parameters like bulk density, apparent porosity, sorptivity, water absorption and compressive strength. XRD analysis peaks indicates quartz, cristobalite and gibbsite for raw RHA and new peaks corresponding to Zeolite A in geopolymer specimens. In general, SEM micrographs show interconnected pores and loosely packed geopolymer matrix except for specimens made with Si/Al of 2.0 which exhibited comparatively better matrix. Incorporation of Al from sodium aluminate were confirmed with the stretching and bending vibration of Si-O-Si and O-Si-O observations from the FTIR analysis of geopolymer specimen. The dense microstructure of SA2.0 correlate into better performance in terms of 28 days maximum compressive strength of 16.96 MPa and minimum for porosity, absorption and sorptivity among the specimens. However, due to the higher water demand to make the paste workable, the value of porosity, absorption and sorptivity were reportedly higher as compared with other geopolymer systems. Correlation regression equations were proposed to validate the interrelation between physical parameters and mechanical strength. RHA geopolymer shows comparatively lower compressive strength as compared to Fly ash geopolymer.

The identification of species, hygroscopic property, and ability of ethylene gas absorption of 23 ancient charcoals excavated from wooden coffin burials and roof-tile kilns of Chudong-ri cultural site were investigated. All of the 12 charcoals excavated from wooden coffin burials were broad-leaved trees. Among the total 12 samples, 9 samples were Lepidobalanus and others were Celtis spp.. On the other hand, other 11 charcoals from roof-tile kilns were needle-leaved tree, Pinus spp.(hard pine). The broad-leaved tree charcoals from wooden coffin burials showed a higher moisture absorption capacity than needle-leaved tree charcoals from roof-tile kilns. The ethylene gas absorption was greater in the Lepidobalanus charcoal than that of Celtis spp. and Pinus spp. (hard pine) charcoal. The broad-leaved tree charcoal having high absorption ability of substances was due to a large microporous and specific surface area. Therefore, it was estimated that broad-leaved tree charcoals were filled in order to make favorable condition in tomb. The wood quality of pine is soft and easy to burn because of low specific gravity, as well as high calorific value by resin in wood. We could assume that the pine wood was used as fuel for roof-tile kilns because of easy control of heating and thermal power.
