This study was conducted to analyse the relation between physical characteristics of soil surface and wild plants occurrence. Lots of natural occurrence on loamy soil and a little of natural occurrence on perlite. Those were used to observe the wild plants occurrence through the duration. Natural occurrence of wild plants were observed on uniform sand, perlite, loamy soil and 2cms loamy soil layer above the perlite. Uniform sand was compared with different height of drain ditch. The results of analysis were as followed. 1. Wild plants germinated on the uniform perlite layer, they did not grow larger. Because water in large pores of perlite surface drained rapidly and evaporated easily, therefore surface remained low moisture contents. 2. A lot of weed grew on 2cms loamy layer on perlite which stratified above the perlite layer. Because perlite had plenty of soil moisture and soil moisture moved easily from perlite to loamy soil layer. 3. Uniform loamy soil had similar occurrence on the uniform perlite. It was nearly same at surface moisture distribution but lower than layered loamy soil on perlite, and the vertical distributions at soil moisture was totally lower than 2cms loamy soil layer on perlite. 4. Wild plants were grew on uniform sand on different height of drain ditch. In this case, much more wild plants were grew on which had more higher drainage ditch. The number of wild plants occurred when it was affected by soil surface moisture, drain ditch and natural occurrence of wild plants. This could be controlled by layered soil at surface moisture. Therefore weed occurrence can control in planting ground, where soil layer would not be disturbed.

Purpose: New low-cost oilseeds are needed to meet an ever-increasing demand for oil for food, pharmaceutical, and industrial applications. African oil bean seed is a tropical crop that is underutilized and has high oil yields, but there have been no studies conducted on its mechanical oil expression up to now. The objective of this work was to investigate the effect of moisture content and seed dimensions on mechanical oil expression from the seeds. Methods: Fresh oil bean seeds were procured, de-hulled, and cleaned. Initial seed moisture content, obtained in accordance with the ASAE standard, was 12% dry basis (db). The seeds were further conditioned by dehydration and rehydration prior to oil expression to obtain four other moisture levels of 8, 10, 14, and 16% db. The major diameter of the seeds was measured using digital vernier calipers, and the seeds were classified into size dimensions (< 40, 41-45, 46-50, 51-55, and > 55 mm). The oil yield and expression efficiency were obtained in accordance with standard evaluation methods. Results: The highest oil yield and expression efficiency (47.74% and 78.96%, respectively) were obtained for a moisture content of 8% db and seed dimensions of < 40 mm, while the lowest oil yield and expression efficiency (41.35% and 68.28%, respectively) were obtained for a moisture content of 14% db and seed dimensions between 51-55 mm. A mathematical model was developed to predict oil yield for known moisture content and seed dimensions, with a coefficient of determination $R^2$ of 95% and the confidence level of the predictive model of 84.17%. The probability of prediction F ratio showed that moisture content influence was more significant than seed dimensions. Conclusions: The higher the moisture content and larger the seed dimensions, the lower the oil yield from African oil bean seeds.

OBJECTIVES : The objective of this research is to determine the moisture resistance of the freeze-thaw process occurring in low-noise porous pavement using either hydrated-lime or anti-freezing agent. Various additives were applied to low-noise porous asphalt, which is actively paved in South Korea, to overcome its disadvantages. Moreover, the optimum contents of hydrated-lime and anti-freezing agent and behavior properties of low-noise porous asphalt layer are determined using dynamic moduli via the freeze-thaw test. METHODS : The low-noise porous asphalt mixtures were made using gyratory compacters to investigate its properties with either hydrated-lime or anti-freezing agent. To determine the dynamic moduli of each mixture, impact resonance test was conducted. The applied standard for the freeze-thaw test of asphalt mixture is ASTM D 6857. The freeze-thaw and impact resonance tests were performed twice at each stage. The behavior properties were defined using finite element method, which was performed using the dynamic modulus data obtained from the freeze-thaw test and resonance frequencies obtained from non-destructive impact test. RESULTS : The results show that the coherence and strength of the low-noise porous asphalt mixture decreased continuously with the increase in the temperature of the mixture. The dynamic modulus of the normal low-noise porous asphalt mixture dramatically decreased after one cycle of freezing and thawing stages, which is more than that of other mixtures containing additives. The damage rate was higher when the freeze-thaw test was repeated. CONCLUSIONS : From the root mean squared error (RMSE) and mean percentage error (MPE) analyses, the addition rates of 1.5% hydrated-lime and 0.5% anti-freezing agent resulted in the strongest mixture having the highest moisture resistance compared to other specimens with each additive in 1 cycle freeze-thaw test. Moreover, the freeze-thaw resistance significantly improved when a hydrated-lime content of 0.5% was applied for the two cycles of the freeze-thaw test. Hence, the optimum contents of both hydrated-lime and anti-freezing agent are 0.5%.

The purpose of this study was to develop functional and environment-friendly polyester fabric by irradiating Ultra-Violet, which was produced by the low-pressure mercury lamp. UV irradiation was conducted with various treatment times and distances. Also, pretreatments of solvents and photoinitiator were used to improve the surface modification effects. The effects of UV irradiation on the moisture regain were found to increase gradually with increase of UV treatment time and decrease of treatment distance. Compared the effects of UVC and UVA, UVC was more effective than UVA. Moisture regain and wicking of PET was increased after UV treatment in our experimental condition. And owing to increasing of moisture regain, static charge was decreased. Pretreatment of solvents such as methanol, ethyl ether and addition of photoinitiator such as Benzophenone accelerated surface modification. The moisture regain was increased but wicking was decreased with pretreatment and addition of photoinitiatior. Therefore it is considered as inappropriate f3r clothing because of wicking effects. Yellowness, tensile strength and elasticity slightly decreased after UV irradiation.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the structural stability of pavement due to water infiltration at the road with infiltration trench as using the FEM(finite element analysis). Five cases for FEM is divided considering the amount of rainfall and rain duration time. The results of FEM show that the more rainfall in a short period time is faster the change of moisture content. Also, it is the proportional relationship between and changing area of moisture content of more than 40% due to rainfall. Case 3 and 4 are necessary to check the installation of infiltration trench because of moisture content of more than 40%, recovery time of initial moisture content, and changing area of more than 40%. Case 1,2, and 5 have no a significant effect on road pavement structure due to lower moisture content and shorter duration time of higher moisture content.

In previous paper (Lee and Kim, 1983) the effect of moisture level and frequency on dielectric properties of sardine starch paste was mentioned. The effect of temperature and starch content of the paste upon dielectric permittivity and activation energy was discussed in this report. Addition of starch affected on dielectric property. Increases of starch in the mixtures resulted in higher complex permittivity and lower critical moisture content (hc) as shown in the mixtures with $20\%$ and $50\%$ starch which were ${\varepsilon}^{\ast}=2.97+j0.36,\;hc=8.0\%;\;{\varepsilon}^{\ast}=3.54+j0.44,\;hc=7.8\%$, respectively while being ${\varepsilon}^{\ast}=2.73+j0.29,\;hc=8.4\%$ for the plain ground sardine meat. When temperature was raised the complex permittivity tended to increase at above the critical moisture content in all cases. The activation energies for plain ground meat and $30\%$ starch added mixture at below the critical moisture of $8.4\%$ were 15.44 kcal/mol and 13.86 kcal/mol while those at the moisture of $12.2\%$ were 10.27 kcal/mol and 9.31 kcal/mol, respectively.

Peat soil has the characteristics of high moisture content, large void ratio and low shear strength. In this study, unconfined compressive strength and SEM tests are conducted to investigate the effects of ultrahigh moisture content, cement content, organic content and pH value on the strength of solidified peat. As an increase in the cement content and curing period, the failure mode of solidified peat soil changes from ductile failure to brittle failure. The influence of moisture content on the strength of solidified peat is greater than the cement content. As cement content increases from 10% to 30%, strength of solidified peat at a curing age of 28 days increases by 161%~485%. By increasing water content by 100%, decreases of solidified peat at a curing age of 28 days is 42%~79%. Compared with the strength of solidified peat with a pH value of 5.5, the strength of peat with a pH value of 3.5 reduces by 10% ~ 46%, while the strength of peat with a pH value of 7.0 increases by 8% ~ 38%. It is recommended to use filler materials for stabilizing peat soil with moisture content greater than 200%. Because of small size of clay particles, clay added in the cement solidified peat can improve much higher strength that that of sand.

압출성형기의 모터에너지는 자가발열 열에너지와 기계에너지로 전환되며 히터에너지는 열에너지로 공급되는데 각 에너지가 녹말의 호화에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 저온$({\leq}80^{\circ}C)$ 압출성형조건에서 자가발열 에너지는 낮은 수분함량의 분체 마찰에 의한 것과 높은 수분함량의 점성에 의한 것으로 구분할 수 있었으며 분체 마찰에 의한 열에너지가 호화에 더 효과적임을 알 수 있었다. 또한 모터에너지에서 자가발열되고 남은 순수한 기계에너지의 효과를 상대기계에너지로 평가한 결과, 높은 수분함량$({\geq}33%)$ 조건의 호화는 상대기계에너지의 변화에 크게 의존하며 낮은 수분함량$({\leq}30%)$의 경우는 거의 영향을 받지 않는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구는 curdlan 복합필름을 제조하고 물성을 비교하기 위해 수행되었다. 우선 low set 방식과 high set 방식 중 적절한 방식을 선정하였고, 순차적으로 AMG나 oleic acid 중에서 적절한 방습소재를 선정하였으며, PB와 PIB 중에서 적절한 물성개량제를 선정하고자 하였다. 그 결과 high set 필름이 low set 필름보다 신장율은 다소 작지만 인장강도가 높고 수증기 투과도가 낮기 때문에 curdlan 복합필름 제조에는 high set 방법이 더 적합하며 이때 PEG는 2.0g 첨가하는 것이 유리할 것으로 판단하였다. 또한 oleic acid 첨가군이 AMG 첨가군보다 인장강도와 신장율이 더 크고, 수증기투과도는 더 낮은 편이며 특히 oleic acid 0.3g 첨가한 경우 신장율과 수증기 차단성 면에서 유리하므로 방습소재로서 oleic acid를 0.3g 첨가하는 것이 적합할 것을 판단하였다. PIB 첨가군이나 PB 첨가군 모두 인장강도와 수증기투과도는 비슷하나 신장율의 경우는 PIB 첨가군이 PB 첨가군보다 더 큰 것으로 나타났으므로 유연성과 관련된 물성개량 측면에서는 PIB 첨가가 더 유리할 것으로 판단하였다. 종합적으로 curdlan에 가소제 PEG와 방습소재 oleic acid와 물성개량제 PIB를 첨가하는 것이 유연성과 관련된 물성 면에서 가장 유리할 것으로 판단하였다.
