In this study, a method of heat adaptation was implemented in an attempt to increase the upper thermal threshold of two Streptococcus thermophilus found in South Korea and identified the alterations in membrane fatty acid composition to adaptive response to heat. In order to develop heat tolerant lactic acid bacteria, heat treatment was continuously applied to bacteria by increasing temperature from 60℃ until the point that no surviving cell was detected. Our results indicated significant increase in heat tolerance of heat-adapted strains compared to the wild type (WT) strains. In particular, the survival ratio of basically low heat-tolerant strain increased even more. In addition, the strains with improved heat tolerance acquired cross protection, which improved their survival ratio in acid, bile salts and osmotic conditions. A relation between heat tolerance and membrane fatty acid composition was identified. As a result of heat adaptation, the ratio of unsaturated to saturated fatty acids (UFA/SFA) and C18:1 relative concentration were decreased. C6:0 in only heat-adapted strains and C22:0 in only the naturally high heat tolerant strain were detected. These results support the hypothesis, that the consequent increase of SFA ratio is a cellular response to environmental stresses such as high temperatures, and it is able to protect the cells from acid, bile salts and osmotic conditions via cross protection. This study demonstrated that the increase in heat tolerance can be utilized as a mean to improve bacterial tolerance against various environmental stresses.

After steel bar was corroded it removes concrete contaminated, it does steel bar corrosion protection, repairing method and corrosion inhibitor spreading method are difficult to secure corrosion protection performance. Accordingly, in this research before Research and Development to penetrate corrosion inhibitor to high pressure by steel bar position, it measures penetration depth through corrosion inhibitor high pressure penetration experiment and amount of nitrite by position and then it predicts penetration depth in accordance with water-cement ratio, pressure, pressure time and it computed water-cement ratio, pressure, pressure time to be more than 0.6 mol ratio of chloride ion and nitrite to have outstanding corrosion protection performance. As a result of experiment, water-cement ratio gives the biggest influence to penetration of corrosion inhibitor and also the more depth of specimen becomes deep, concentration of penetrated corrosion inhibitor does not equal and becomes low.

The most widely used primary protection for the internal fault detection of the power transformer is current ratio differential relaying (CRDR) with harmonic restraint. However, the second harmonic component could be decreased by magnetizing inrush when there have been changes to the material of the iron core or its design methodology. The higher the capacitance of the high voltage status and underground distribution, the more the differential current includes the second harmonic during the occurrence of an internal fault. Therefore, the conventional second harmonic restraint CRDR must be modified. This paper proposes a numerical algorithm for enhanced power transformer protection. This algorithm enables a clear distinction regarding internal faults as well as magnetizing inrush and steady state. It does this by analyzing the RMS fluctuation of terminal voltage, instantaneous value of the differential current, RMS changes, harmonic component analysis of differential current, and analysis of flux-differential slope characteristics. Based on the results of testing with WatATP99 simulation data, the proposed algorithm demonstrated more rapid and reliable performance.

The effect of mixing ratio on the corrosion protection of carbon steel coated by a film composed of poly(vinylidene) fluoride (PVDF) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) was examined using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Surface crystallization behavior and thermal properties of the PVDF/PMMA coated carbon steel were evaluated using polarized optical microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry, respectively. A Maltese cross-pattern spherulite crystal was observed in the PVDF/PMMA coating film, which became more apparent with increasing PVDF content. The highest corrosion protection performance was achieved with 60 wt.% PVDF-coated carbon steel, and delamination and corrosion reactions were observed for 20 wt.% PVDF-coated carbon steel. Further, corrosion protection performance with an amorphous/crystal mixture (PVDF/PMMA, 60/40 (w/w)) was better than those observed in the amorphous domain and the perfect-crystal domain of the PVDF/PMMA blended coating system.

The waste foundry sand might be recycled in concrete, resulting in energy saving and environmental protection. An half Factorial Experiments were performed with the variables of W/C ratio, S/A, Sand/Waste foundry sand ratio and Slump as a preliminary study for optimum mix design of concrete. The results show that then W/C ratio is the most important factor to the concrete strength. The substitute of waste foundry sand up to 30% has little influence, saying that it can substitute the fine aggregate without damaging the concrete properties.

The interference among the rain radars and interference in the adjacent wireless station due to the spurious signals from the rain radar were analyzed in this paper. The rain radar measures the rain intensity using S-band signal. The measured data are utilized in forecasting the rainfall. The interference among the rain radars or in the adjacent wireless stations may be caused by the high output power of rain radar. Based on the propagation analysis of S band signal and the deduced interference protection ratio of rain radar, the interference due to the rain radar are analyzed. Also, the radiation spectrum characteristics of a rain radar are deduced from the caused interference effects by the spurious signals of the rain radar.

Up to now, sea sand without complete removal of salt is being used in the construction works because there is little satisfactory counterplan for the substitute aggregate. In the case that such sea sand is used in the reinforced concrete, the residual salt gives rise to deterioration phenmenon and iron corrosion, reducing durability of the ferro-concrete structures. The paper, an experimental study on the effect of corrosion protection by tighting concrete used SF and FA, is to investigate general steel bar's corrosion and to develop concrete using sea sand economically after it is analyzed and examinated ratio of the corrosion area affected by the autoclave cycle. As a test results, as for corrosion area ratio, it is very effective to use admixrutes such as SF and FA which decrease corrosion area remarkably with increasing the amounts of admixtures. Accordingly the use of admixtures is advantageous for tightening concrete and has an effect of salt damage prevention and rust protection in concrete used sea sand.

The use of the PMP (Protection Module Package) was proposed as a solution for the shorter battery lifetime. The PMP means that a protection circuit consists of a semiconductor single. In this study, basic research was carried out to select a suitable epoxy material of the EMC module through finite element analysis. First, the stress on the external force was compared by the flexural strength analysis. In the following thermal analysis, the temperature change of the EMC module and the internal part was compared using the calculated heating value. Finally, the filling ratio was compared with the injection of the melting epoxy in the EMC module.
