This study examined concrete characteristics depending on the replacement ratio of recycled fine aggregates, which suits the KS F 2573 concrete recycled aggregate standard. As physical properties, slump, air content, changes in the elapse of time and compressive strength were studied in order to provide basic data for activation of recycled fine aggregate recycling. As a result of experimenting recycled fine aggregate concrete, the increase in the replacement ratio of recycled aggregates led to the increase in slump and air content. Also, when the replacement ratio of recycled fine aggregates was 30%, it was judged that there was no problem with constructability. When the replacement ratio was 30%, recycled fine aggregate concrete had a similar tendency to natural aggregate concrete at a compressive strength of 24MPa. When the replacement ratio was 30%, at a target strength of 24MPa, recycled fine aggregate concrete had the same physical characteristics as natural aggregate concrete. This means that a replacement ratio of 30% is appropriate for replacement of recycled fine aggregates. In future, there will be a need to improve the quality of recycled fine aggregates for activating the use of recycled fine aggregates and further research will have to evaluate physical properties of recycled fine aggregate concrete using improved recycled fine aggregates.

In this paper, to increase the use of industrial byproducts for $CO_2$ reduction and to improve construction performance, it was manufactured that $CO_2$ reduction type quaternary component high fluidity concrete (QC-HFC) with Reduced cement usage by more than 80% and its quality and hydration characteristics were evaluated. QC-HFC was found to satisfy the target performance, and the flow and mechanical properties were similar to those of conventional concrete. The drying shrinkage of QC-HFC decreased about twice compared with the conventional blend, and the hydration heat decreased about 36%. As a result, it can be concluded that the amount of cracks can be reduced by reducing temperature stress due to hydration heat reduction effect and reducing deformation due to relatively small temperature difference between inside and outside. Also, As a result of the simulation of the mass structure, the temperature cracking index of QC-HFC is 1.1 or more, and the cracking probability is reduced by about 35%, so that the crack due to temperature can be reduced.

In underwater robotics, vision would be a key element for recognition in underwater environments. However, due to turbidity an underwater optical camera is rarely available. An underwater imaging sonar, as an alternative, delivers low quality sonar images which are not stable and accurate enough to find out natural objects by image processing. For this, artificial landmarks based on the characteristics of ultrasonic waves and their recognition method by a shape matrix transformation were proposed and were proven in Part 1. But, this is not working properly in undulating and dynamically noisy sea-bottom. To solve this, we propose a framework providing a selection phase of likelihood candidates, a selection phase for final candidates, recognition phase and tracking phase in sequence images, where a particle filter based selection mechanism to eliminate fake candidates and a mean shift based tracking algorithm are also proposed. All 4 steps are running in parallel and real-time processing. The proposed framework is flexible to add and to modify internal algorithms. A pool test and sea trial are carried out to prove the performance, and detail analysis of experimental results are done. Information is obtained from tracking phase such as relative distance, bearing will be expected to be used for control and navigation of underwater robots.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of anchorage systems and palatal coverage of denture base on load transfer in maxillary implant-supported overdenture. Material and methods: Maxillary implant -supported overdentures in which 4 implants were placed in the anterior region of edentulous maxilla were fabricated, and stress distribution patterns in implant supporting bone in the case of unilateral vertical loading on maxillary right first molar were compared with each other depending on various types of anchorage system and palatal coverage extent of denture base using three-dimensional photoelastic stress analysis. Two photoelastic overdenture models were fabricated in each anchorage system to compare with the palatal coverage extent of denture base, as a result we got eight models : Hader bar using clips(type 1), cantilevered Hader bar using clips(type 2), Hader bar using clip and ERA attachments(type 3), cantilevered milled-bar using swivel-latchs and frictional pins(type 4). Result: 1. In all experimental models, the highest stress was concentrated on the most distal implant supporting bone on loaded side. 2. In every experimental models with or without palatal coverage of denture base, maximum fringe orders on the distal ipsilateral implant supporting bone in an ascending order is as follows; type 3, type 1, type 4, and type 2. 3. Each implants showed compressive stresses in all experimental models with palatal coverage of denture base, but in the case of those without palatal coverage of denture base, tensile stresses were observed in the distal contralateral implant supporting bone. 4. In all anchorage system without palatal coverage of denture base, higher stresses were concentrated on the most distal implant supporting bone on loaded side. 5. The type of anchorage system affected in load transfer more than palatal coverage extent of the denture base. Conclusion: To the results mentioned above, in the case of patients with unfavorable biomechanical conditions such as not sufficient number of supporting implants, short length of the implant, and poor bone quality, selecting a resilient type attachment or minimizing the distal cantilevered bar is considered to be an appropriate method to prevent overloading on implants by reducing cantilever effect and gaining more support from the distal residual ridge.

The aim of this study was to suggest a design for an orthodontic miniscrew which may work most favorably in the thin cortical bone of the adolescent. In this study, orthodontic miniscrews with different diameters, lengths, and body types were manufactured and implanted in two artificial bone samples with different cortical bone thickness. Maximum insertion torque, maximum removal torque, and lateral alteration torque were measured. As a result, the bone quality, body type, diameter, and the length all had their effects on the maximum insertion torque, maximum removal torque, and lateral alteration torque. Cortical bone thickness was the most important factor. In initial stability, conical types showed better results than cylindrical types. Increase in the diameter had favorable effects in achieving mechanical stability. Increase in the length did not have as much influence as the other factors did on the initial stability, but there was a statistically significant difference between screws of 6 mm and 8 mm lengths(p<0.05). In conclusion, the conical type screw with a diameter of 1.8 mm is most favorable in the thin cortical bone of the adolescent. In terms of length, the 8 mm screw is expected to perform better than the 6 mm screw.

Real-time virtual studios which could run only on expensive workstations are now available for personal computers thanks to the recent development of graphics hardware. Nevertheless, graphics are rendered off-line in the post production stage in film or TV drama productions, because the graphics' quality is still restricted by the real-time hardware. Software-based camera tracking methods taking only the source video into account take much computation time, and often shows unstable results. To overcome this restriction, we propose a system that stores camera motion data from sensors at shooting time as common virtual studios and uses them in the post production stage, named as POVIS(post virtual imaging system). For seamless registration of graphics onto the camera video, precise zoom lens calibration must precede the post production. A practical method using only two planar patterns is used in this work. We present a method to reduce the camera sensor's error due to the mechanical mismatch, using the Kalman filter. POVIS was successfully used to track the camera in a documentary production and saved much of the processing time, while conventional methods failed due to lack of features to track.

This experiment was conducted to investigate planting depth, which applied the basic data for planting growth ability and mechanical planting of oriental melon. 'Gumssaragi-eunchun' variety was approach grafting to 'Shintozoa' and seedling was growing during 45 days in the 9cm pot and then planted on Jan. 16. The comparison of planting plots was carried out for four experimental plots, which were separated into 0cm, 4.5cm, 9cm, standard cultivation, and 12cm planting depth in soil. In the tunnel of vinyl house, the lowest and the highest temperature was $9.3^{\circ}C\;and\;41.2^{\circ}C$, respectively, and humidity was $59\~99\%$ during Jan. 18 and 19. The faster graft-take rate after planting was the deeper planting depth. The growth of 40 days after planting was not significant in each planting plot, except 0cm experimental plot. Fruit weight was the heaviest in 4.5cm planting depth of experimental plot but sugar content and flesh thickness were not significant in each planting depth. The more depth in planting meant the more increase in fermented fruit rate and decrease in marketable fruit rate. Marketable yield was 2,361kg per l0a in 9cm planting plot, which was $2\%\;and\;1\%$ lower than in 0cm and 4.5cm, respectively, and $11\%$ greater than in 12cm planting plot.

This study was performed to induce a quality improvement and standardization of materials used for greenhouse. For this purpose, physical and mechanical properties of agricultural films for greenhouse were measured by kinds and thickness of the films. The properties are composed of impact, tensile, tear propagation strength and light transmittance. The results were summarized as follows. 1. At the impact test result of the falling dart, the thicker the film, the greater the impact strength of soft film. The impact weight at 50 percents is from 158g to 213g and the strength of low density polyethylene(LDPE) film is higher than the rest of any other films. 2. Seeing the leveling of the impact rupture, maximum impact weight which was ruptured very little ranges from 62g to 192g. The impact strength of 0.1mm films was higher than that of 0.05mm as from 1.8 to 3.2 times. 3. Tensile weight covers from 0.95kg to 2.22kg in the test materials, and the weight of lengthwise film is larger than that of width. LDPE film has high value of tensile weight. Elongation range is from 345 to 102 percent and lengthwise elongation is greater than width as much as from 1.4 to 2.7 times. 4. Tea. propagation strength ranges from 80.5kg/cm to 121.7kg/cm, and unlike which of LDPE film has high value, EVA film has low value in the films tested. The width strength is higher than the lengthwise. 5. The light transmittance of the soft film is about 78-92 percent in the range of ultraviolet ray, but has high value in the visible ray range.

Recently, the interest and demand on free formed structure providing aesthetic value as well as functionality has been increasing. Formwork has numerous advantages such as high strength, convenience, accuracy and good quality of surface roughness. Nevertheless, it increases construction cost and period to build complex shapes. For these purpose, deposition construction systems such as Contour Crafting and Concrete Printing have been developed with active collaboration between university and industry by applying the rapid prototyping technology to the construction industry in USA and England. Since there has been no related research in Korea, the possibility of spin-off technology and its fusion cannot be expected. In this paper, design elements including mechanical system and control system related to automatic deposition construction system prototype for constructing a free curved structure without mold are described. As for an appropriate material for the system, fiber reinforced mortar was selected by experiments on compressive strength, fluidity, viscosity and setting time. By performing transfer and extrusion experiments, the possibility of the development of deposition construction system was demonstrated. Based on this research results, it is required to keep the automatic deposition construction system improve and extend it into the new application area in construction industry.

The purpose of this study was to determine the optimal mixing ratios of three different ingredients of Polygonum multiflorum Radix powder, butter, and sugar for the development of recipe for cookies with Polygonum multiflorum Radix powder. Response surface methodology based on a five level and three variables by central composite design was employed to obtain the best possible combination for the ratios of Polygonum multiflorum Radix powder ($X_1$), butter ($X_2$), and sugar ($X_3$). The analytical results of the physical and mechanical properties for each sample including color L (P<0.01), color a (P<0.01), color b (P<0.01), spread ratio (P<0.001), and hardness (P<0.001) showed significant differences. The sensory measurements were significantly different in color (P<0.05), appearance (P<0.05), texture (P<0.001), flavor (P<0.01), taste (P<0.01), and overall quality (P<0.001). The optimal compositional ratios were determined to be 4.00 g for the Polygonum multiflorum Radix powder, 75.42 g for the butter, and 45.67 g for the sugar.
