Chloride penetration is among the main causes of corrosion initiation in reinforced concrete (RC) structures producing premature degradations. Weather and exposure conditions directly affect chloride ingress mechanisms and therefore the operational service life and safety of RC structures. Consequently, comprehensive chloride ingress models are useful tools to estimate corrosion initiation risks and minimize maintenance costs for RC structures placed under chloride-contaminated environments. This paper first presents a coupled thermo-hydro-chemical model for predicting chloride penetration into concrete that accounts for realistic weather conditions. This complete numerical model takes into account multiple factors affecting chloride ingress such as diffusion, convection, chloride binding, ionic interaction, and concrete aging. Since the complete model could be computationally expensive for long-term assessment, this study also proposes model simplifications in order to reduce the computational cost. Long-term chloride assessments of complete and reduced models are compared for three locations in France (Brest, Strasbourg and Nice) characterized by different weather and exposure conditions (tidal zone, de-icing salts and salt spray). The comparative study indicates that the reduced model is computationally efficient and accurate for long-term chloride ingress modeling in comparison to the complete one. Given that long-term assessment requires larger climate databases, this research also studies how climate models may affect chloride ingress assessment. The results indicate that the selection of climate models as well as the considered training periods introduce significant errors for mid- and long- term chloride ingress assessment.

콘크리트와 아스팔트가 상당 부분을 차지하는 도시의 물리적인 환경은 도시열섬효과를 일으키는 주요 원인이며, 일차적으로 토지이용 또는 토양피복에 따른 지표면온도의 상승으로 나타난다. 본 연구에서는 도시의 토지피복유형이 지표면온도에 미치는 영향을 공간해상도가 다른 MODIS, Landsat ETM+과 RapidEye 위성영상을 사용하여 비교 분석해 보았다. 연구대상지인 일산 신도시지역의 지표면온도는 토지 이용에 따라 뚜렷이 구분되는 패턴을 보여주었는데 건폐율이 높은 저층단독주택지구보다 건폐율이 낮고 녹지율이 높은 고층 아파트단지의 지표면온도가 현저히 낮게 나타났다. 토지피복유형과의 관계는 건물이나 도로 등 도시화지역의 면적이 증가할수록 기후존의 지표면온도가 증가하고, 식생과 수면, 그림자 지역의 면적이 늘어날수록 지표면온도는 떨어진다. NDVI와 지표면온도 사이에도 음의 선형상관관계가 나타나지만, 계절적 영향을 배제하기 어렵다는 단점이 있다.

A multifilamentary Bi-2223 HTS tape for superconducting power applications was studied through the fabrication of 250-meter long tapes by the PIT(powder in tube) process. To fabricate continuous long wire, a drawing machine, a two-drum bull block and a rolled tape winding machine were developed. Especially, 250-meter long tapes were heat treated in the shape of pancake coil to reduce the heat affect zone and to achieve the high critical current. Engineering critical current density was improved through both the enhancements of critical current density by control of thermal process and the increase of filling factor by using thin Ag alloy sheath tubes less than 1.5 mm in thickness. We have made successfully 250-meter long 37 filamentary tapes with high filling factor up to 31 % employing the modified drawing and rolling technique. The critical current of 250-meter long tapes with pancake coil type was measured by transport method at self-field up to 250 gauss of center field. The measured values, based on the transport critical current at self-field, $I_{c}$ -B characteristics and magnetic field analysis, are 34 A of I$_{c}$ and 4.0 $kA/\textrm{cm}^2$ of $J_{e}$ at 250 m, 77 K, and 0 T. We also have achieved the 56 A of I$_{c}$ and 7.0 $0 kA/\textrm{cm}^2$ of$ J_{e}$ in short tapes at 77K, self-field, and 1$mutextrm{V}$/cm.

도시에서의 폭염발생은 기본적으로 지구온난화에 영향을 받으나, 도시에서 발생하는 인공열 배출과 열축적이 큰 토지피복의 영향으로 더욱 가중된다. 특히 도시폭염의 영향은 야간 열대야 발생에도 직접적 영향을 준다. 그러나 기본적으로 주간의 폭염대응에 비해 열대야 대응수단 선택은 매우 제한적이다. 본 연구에서는 대구시를 대상으로 열대야 대응 방안으로 야간 찬공기 유동 특성을 분석하고 이의 공간적 활용가능성을 제시하고자 하였다. 연구방법은 찬공기 유동 분석 프로그램인 KLAM_21을 활용하여 대구시의 찬공기 유동의 공간적 특성인 찬공기 높이 및 유동범위와 유속 및 유동방향을 정량적으로 분석하였다. 분석결과 대구시 주변산지에서의 찬공기 생성, 유동은 매우 활발하나 열대야 발생지역인 도심지역으로 유입이 제한적인 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 일부 시가지에서는 주변산지로부터 유입되는 찬공기 유동성이 매우 활발하여 열대야 대응에 매우 효과적인 공간적 조건을 가지고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 공간적 조건을 도시계획적 차원에서 활용하면 열대야 대응방안 개발에 매우 유용할 것으로 판단된다.

A flip-chip bonding system using IR laser with a wavelength of 1064 nm was developed and associated process parameters were analyzed using Taguchi methods. An infrared laser beam is designed to transmit through a silicon chip and used for transferring laser energy directly to micro-bumps. This process has several advantages: minimized heat affect zone, fast bonding and good reliability in the microchip bonding interface. Approximately 50 % of the irradiated energy can be directly used for bonding the solder bumps with a few seconds of bonding time. A flip-chip with 120 solder bumps was used for this experiment and the composition of the solder bump was Sn3.0Ag0.5Cu. The main processing parameters for IR laser flip-chip bonding were laser power, scanning speed, a spot size and UBM thickness. Taguchi methods were applied for optimizing these four main processing parameters. The optimized bump shape and its shear force were modeled and the experimental results were compared with them. The analysis results indicate that the bump shape and its shear force are dominantly influenced by laser power and scanning speed over a laser spot size. In addition, various effects of processing parameters for IR laser flip-chip bonding are presented and discussed.

토양으로부터 분리한 균주 중 항진균 활성이 우수한 균주를 선발하여 B-1이라 명명하였다. B-1의 항균성 물질 생산에 대한 배양조건을 검토하기 위해 최적배지, 탄소원, 질소원, pH, 온도별로의 영향을 조사하였다. PDB 배지에서 항균력이 우수하였으며 탄소원$.$질소원에는 별다른 영향이 없었다. pH와 온도에서는 각각 pH 5.0, 28$^{\circ}C$에서 항균력이 우수하였다. 항균 활성은 진균에서 강하게 나타났으며 일부 세균에서도 항균력을 나타내었다. 항진균성 물질은 산, 알칼리 처리 후 잔존 활성은 70∼80%로 나타났으며 열처리시 완전히 실활되어 열에 대해 상당히 불안정하다는 것을 확인하였다. 항균성 물질위 용매 전용성을 위해 TLC를 통하여 분석하였으며 plate assy를 실시하여 항균성물질을 확인하였다. 항진균성 물질의 대량생산을 위해 기본배지인 PDB를 직접 실험실 내에서 제조하였으며 시판의 PDB와 비교하였을때 항균성 물질 생산면에서나 가격면에서 더 나은 결과를 보였다.

Plant genomes include heterochromatic loci that consist of repetitive sequences and transposable elements. LTR retrotransposon is the major class of transposons in advanced plants in terms of proportion in plant genome. The elements contribute not only to genome size but also to genome stability and gene expression. A number of cases have been reported transposon insertions near genic regions affect crop traits such as fruit pigments, stress tolerance, and yields. Functional LTR retrotransposons produce extrachromosomal DNA from genomic RNA by reverse transcription that takes place within virus-like-particles (VLPs). DECREASED DNA METHYLATION 1 (DDM1) plays important roles in maintaining DNA methylation of heterochromatin affecting all sequence contexts, CG, CHG, and CHH. Previous studies showed that ddm1 mutant exhibits massive transcription of retrotransposons in Arabidopsis, but only few of them were able to create new insertions into the genome. RNA-dependent RNA POLYMERASE 6 (RDR6) is known to function in restricting accumulation of transposon RNA by processing the transcripts into 21-22 nt epigenetically activated small interfering RNA (easiRNA). We purified VLPs and sequence cDNA to identify functional LTR retrotransposons in Arabidopsis ddm1 and ddm1rdr6 plants. Over 20 LTR copia and gypsy families were detected in ddm1 and ddm1rdr6 sequencing libraries and most of them were not reported for mobility. In ddm1rdr6, short fragments of ATHILA gypsy elements were detected. It suggests easiRNAs might regulate reverse transcription steps. The highest enriched element among transposon loci was previously characterized EVADE element. It has been reported that active EVADE element is more efficiently silenced through female germline than male germline. By genetic analyses, we found ddm1 and rdr6 mutation affect maternal silencing of active EVADE elements. DDM1-GFP protein accumulated in megaspore mother cell but was not found in mature egg cell. The fusion protein was also found in early embryo and maternal DDM1-GFP allele was more dominantly expressed in the embryo. We observed localization of DDM1-GFP in Arabidopsis and DDM1-YFP in maize and found the proteins accumulated in dividing zone of root tips. Currently we are looking at cell cycle dependency of DDM1 expression using maize system. Among 10 AGO proteins in Arabidopsis, AGO9 is specifically expressed in egg cell and shoot meristematic cells. In addition, mutation of AGO9 and RDR6 caused failure in maternal silencing, implying 21-22 nt easiRNA pathway is important for retrotransposon silencing in female gametophyte or/and early embryo. On the other hand, canonical 24 nt sRNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) pathways did not contribute to maternal silencing as confirmed by this study. Heat-activated LTR retrotransposon, ONSEN, was not silenced by DDM1 but the silencing mechanisms require RdDM pathways in somatic cells. We will propose distinct mechanisms of LTR retrotransposons in germline and somatic stages.
