Gravimetric method is usually used to evaluate air-dry density, which is governing physical or mechanical properties of wood. Although it had high evaluation accuracy, the method is time consuming process. Thus, this study was conducted to estimate air-dry density of wood with high accuracy by using polychromatic X-ray and digital detector as alternative of gravimetric method. To quantify polychromatic X-ray projection for evaluating air-dry density, Lambert-Beer's law with the integral value of probability function was used. The integral value was used as weighting factor in the law, and it was determined by conducting simple test at various penetration depths and tube voltage. Mass attenuation coefficient (MAC) of wood also calculated by investigating polychromatic X-ray projection according to species, penetration depth and tube voltage. The species had not an effect on change of MAC. Finally, an air-dry density of wood was estimated by applying the integral value, MAC and Lambert-Beer's law to polychromatic X-ray projection. As an example, the relation of the integral value (${\alpha}$) according to penetration depth (t, cm) at tube voltage of 35 kV was ${\alpha}=-0.00091t{\times}0.0184$ while the regression of the MAC (${\mu}$, $cm^2/g$) was ${\mu}=0.5414{\exp}(-0.0734t)$. When calculation of root mean squared error (RMSE) was performed to check the estimation accuracy, RMSE at 35, 45 and 55 kV was 0.010, 0.013 and $0.009g/cm^3$, respectively. However, partial RMSE in relation to air-dry density was varied according to tube voltage. The partial RMSE below air-dry density of $0.41g/cm^3$ was $0.008g/cm^3$ when tube voltage of 35 kV was used. Meanwhile, the partial RMSE above air-dry density of $0.41g/cm^3$ decreased as tube voltage increased. It was conclude that the accuracy of estimation with polychromatic X-ray and digital detector was quite high if the integral value and MAC of wood were determined precisely or a condition of examination was chosen properly. It was seemed that the estimation of air-dry density by using polychromatic X-ray system can supplant the gravimetric method.

The objectives of this study are to obtain the basic knowledge of anatomical characteristics and wood properties of thinning trees of young teak (Tectona grandis L.F.) for fulfill the timber demand in Indonesia. Nine thinning trees of 5-year-old teak clone trees were used for analyzing the cell morphology and air-dry density. Vessel diameters in pore and outer pore zones were 165 and $90{\mu}m$, respectively. Mean value of fiber diameter, cell wall thickness, and fiber length in outer pore zone were $14.6{\mu}m$, $2.07{\mu}m$, and 1.04 mm, respectively. In addition, mean value of air-dry density was $0.55g/cm^3$. The measurement and values of vessel diameter, fiber diameter, cell wall thickness, fiber length and air-dry density in the experimental had lower than those in the older teak. Therefore, it could be suggested that the wood from thinning young teaks was not appropriate as construction material, but it could be used for furniture which do not need high of strength properties. Furthermore, since the measurements values of anatomical characteristics were still increasing from pith to bark, it could be suggested that 5-year-old teak clones are still in a juvenile phase. Positively significant correlations were found between air-dry density and cell wall thickness, indicating that cell wall thickness is strongly correlated with wood density of teak.

지구를 둘러싸고 있는 대기의 하층 부분을 구성하는 기체를 보통 공기라 말한다. 지상 20km 이하에서는 그 성분이 거의 일정한 비율로 존재하며, 질소, 산소, 기타 혼합기체로 구성된다. 공기밀도란 단위 부피 중에 포함된 공기의 질량을 말한다. 공기는 거의 일정한 성분으로 조성된 혼합기체이지만, 수증기는 변동이 큰 성분의 하나이다. 같은 온도, 같은 압력에서는 습공기의 밀도가 건공기의 밀도보다 작다. 보통 밀도는 압력이나 온도 변화에 따라 변화된다. 따라서 풍량 계산에 사용되는 중요 인자인 공기 상태량에 따른 밀도 계산과정과 actual air flow 와 standard air flow 의 관계를 살펴 보고자 한다.

Paulownia wood has been used as sound board for Korean traditional musical instruments such as Keomungo(Korean lute), Kayagum(twelve-stringed Korean harp) and Changgu(hour-glass shaped drum), etc. The acoustic properties of wood affected not only by dimensions but also by density and stiffness of wood. Due to inhomogeneity and hygroscopicity of wood. the acoustic properties of wood are inconsistent. To clarify the effect of moisture content and air dry density on acoustic properties, longitudinal vibration experiment was accomplished in 3 moisture content levels of 9.6, 11.1 and 12.5% and in 3 air dry density levels of 0.22, 0.25 and 0.28g/$cm^3$. The results were as follows: As the moisture content increased, the fundamental frequency. specific dynamic Young's modulus and sound velocity decreased, but the internal friction increased so that loss of energy increased. The values in damping of sound radiation were rapidly decreased at 12.5%. It meant that the damping of internal friction was larger than damping of sound radiation at high moisture content. As the air dry density increased, the fundamental frequency, specific dynamic Young's modulus and sound velocity increased, but the internal friction and damping of sound radiation decreased so that loss of energy decreased. And acoustic converting efficiency was hardly influenced by increasing air drying density.

The conditions of measurement for the determination of bulk density were evaluated to assess the bulkiness of 8 kinds of forage. The bulkiness of the forages was determined with 4 different sizes of forage samples with 7 different pressure application under air-dry and wet conditions. The dry bulk density (DBD) curvilinearly regressed with the pressure applied. The particle size of the samples and kinds of forage used in the present study did not affect changes in values of DBD determined under pressures over $20g/cm^2$ up to $200g/cm^2$. The values of the wet bulk density (WBD) increased as an increment of particle size, but were not always regressed on the particle size of the 8 kinds of forage. The DBD determined on 8 mm particles showed a higher correlation coefficient with neutral detergent fiber (NDF) contents. The DBD may be a useful tool for the assessment of NDF in forage, when it is determined under condition of a pressure of $100g/cm^2$ or over with a particle size of 8 mm. The WBD may not be utilized for the direct measurement of the physical characteristics of forage, but may be required a thorough consideration on water solubility of forages. Further studies are needed to clarify the DBD contribution to the prediction of forage intake by ruminants.

This study attempted to characterize the powder and sintered specimen of Mn-Zn ferrite that was prepared by Hot Petroleum Drying Method. The results of the experiment were as follows: 1. The mixed sulfate powder prepared by Hot Petroleum Drying Method was homogeneous and very reactive. The ferrite formation of this powder occurred at lower temperature than the one prepared by Sulfate Dry Mixing Method. 2. The calcined oxide powder prepared by Hot Petroleum Drying Method was found to be agglomerated, and therefore it was very difficult to compact this powder. 3. The sintered density was 4.95g/㎤, 97% of the theoretical density, when the specimen was prepared by Hot Petroleum Drying method, calcined at 90$0^{\circ}C$ in air for 3h, sintered at 1,30$0^{\circ}C$ in air for 3h, and then cooled in nitrogen. 4. The discontinuous grain growth occurred at lower temperature in the specimen prepared by Hot Petroleum Dyring Method than in the one prepared by Sulfate Dry Mixing Method. The discontinuous grain growth was considered to be due to the presence of liquid formed by addition of CaO and $SiO_2$.

This paper presents the results of a laboratory study on the thermal conductivity of sand (silica, quartzite, limestone and masonry sand)-water mixtures used in ground heat exchanger backfilling materials. Nearly 150 tests were performed in a thermal conductivity measuring system (TPSYS02) to characterize the relationships between the thermal conductivity of mixtures and the water content. The results show that the thermal conductivity of mixtures increases with increasing dry density and with increasing water content. The results also show that for constant water contents and a dry density value, the thermal conductivity of mixtures increases with increasing thermal conductivity of solid particles. The measurement results were also compared with the most widely used empirical prediction models for the thermal conductivity of soils.

울릉도 지열조사 시추공에서 채취한 암석코어 중 약 20 m 간격으로 수집한 23개의 코어시료에 대하여 수포화 전기비저항과 건조 전기비저항, 건조밀도와 유효공극률을 측정하고, 암석코어 별 전기비저항 범위를 제시하였으며 물성간 상관성을 분석하였다. 암석코어의 건조과정 말미에 질소가스를 주입함으로써 습기의 공극내 유입 및 흡착을 지연시켜 건조 전기비저항을 측정할 수 있는 전처리 방법을 고안하였다. 측정된 물성 상호간의 상관성을 분석한 결과, 울릉도 암석코어의 건조밀도는 유효공극률과 매우 높은 상관성을 보였는데, 특히 '건조밀도 감소에 대한 유효공극률 증가율'이 암종에 따라서 큰 차이를 보여서 현무암질 화산쇄설암이 가장 크고 조면암질 화산쇄설암, 조면암의 순으로 작아진다. 따라서 울릉도 암석코어는 건조밀도와 유효공극률의 상관성 분석만으로도 암종 구별이 용이한 특징을 나타내었다. 수포화 전기비저항은 유효공극률 및 건조 밀도와 매우 높은 상관성을 보이는 반면 건조 전기비저항은 이들과 특별한 상관관계를 찾을 수 없었다.
