Concrete used for the foundation of high-rise buildings is often placed through in an integrated pouring to ensure construction efficiency and quality. However, if concrete is placed integrally, there is a high risk of temperature cracking during the hydration reaction, and it is necessary to determine the optimal mixing design of high-performance, high-durable concrete through the replacement of the admixture. In this study, experiments on salt damage, carbonation, and sulfate were conducted on the specimen manufactured from the optimal high-performance low-heating concrete combination determined in the author's previous study. The resistance of the cement matrix to chlorine ion diffusion coefficient, carbonation coefficient, and sulfate was quantitatively evaluated. In the terms of compression strength, it was measured as 141% compared to the structural design standard of KCI at 91 days. Excellent durability was expressed in carbonation and chlorine ion diffusivity performance evaluation. In particular, the chlorine ion diffusion coefficient, which should be considered the most strictly in the marine environment, was measured at a value of 4.09×E-12m²/y(1.2898×E-10m²/s), and is expected to be used as a material property value in salt damage durability analysis. These results confirmed that the latent hydroponics were due to mixing of the admixture and high resistance was due to the pozzolane reaction.

The increased interest in reducing the environmental effects caused by releasing organic compounds and aqueous waste has motivated the development of polymeric materials in supercritical fluids. Recently, supercritical fluids have been used in material synthesis and processing because of their special properties, such as high diffusivity, low viscosity, and low surface tension. Supercritical carbon dioxide is the most attractive because it is non-toxic, non-flammable, and has moderate critical temperature and critical pressure values. Supercritical carbon dioxide can also swell most polymers. In this study, we prepared polymer/clay nanocomposites using supercritical fluids. Cloisites 10A, 15A, 25A, and 30B used in this study are montmorillonites modified with a quaternary ammonium salt. The nanocomposites of polymer/clay were characterized by X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry.

To obtain a thermal diffusivity predicting equation for meat products, minced pork meat was mixed with some additives such as lard, isolated soybean protein, 1.5% of table salt and 2% of polyphosphate to control the composition and texture of the products and then stuffed in a model can. Heat penetration curves were measured in the temperature range of 80.76~121.03$^{\circ}C$ by using a thermocouple fixed at the cold point of the model can and the thermal diffusivities were calculated from the plotted heat penetration curves. At constant heating temperature, the thermal diffusivities of pork meat with water content of 49.01~77.55% increased linearly with increasing water content. The thermal diffusivities of the products with constant water content also increased linearly with increasing heating temperature and the values could be predicted by following equation: $\alpha$p=(2.1394+0.5X$_{w}$).$\alpha$$_{w}$+0.0035.10$^{-6}$ .X$_{w}$-0.2785.10$^{-6}$ ,(m$^2$.s$^{-1}$ ). The maximal difference of the values predicted with this equation on the basis of the practical measured values were less than 1.7%. 1.7%.

When radioactive wastewater was solidified treatment by cement, the drying rate of cement and the volume reduction ratio was decreased because of boric acid component in the wastewater. In order to supplement the demerit, effects of paraffin wax investigated in this study. Paraffin wax has a hydrophobic properties and a low affinity with inorganic materials. When the radioactive wastewater was tested by a small of wax, the compressive strength of solidified waste are decreased Therefore boric acid in radioactive wastewater are first treated by alkali salt and coated by the stearic acid. During the solidification step, The amount of paraffin wax addition get the result that the compressive strength of solidification with cement was the same as that with paraffin wax. The leaching properties of radioactive waste solidified was the same CFL (cumulative fraction leached), PR (penetration rate), effective diffusivity if paraffin wax content in solidified waste was 20% or 25%.

Experimental studies to investigate the behaviors of hydrogen in molten FLiNaK (LiF-NaF-KF) have been conducted at $500-700^{\circ}C$. On the basis of previous studies, the diffusivity and solubility of hydrogen in FLiNaK have been revised, and the expressions can be correlated to the following Arrhenius equations: $D_{H2}=1.62{\times}10^{-5}{\exp}(-48.20{\times}10^3/Rg{\cdot}T) m^2/s]$ and $S_{H2}=1.03{\times}10^{-4}{\exp}(-14.96{\times}10^3/Rg{\cdot}T) [mol-H_2/m^3/Pa]$, respectively. The behavior characteristics of deuterium in FLiNaK were studied and compared with the hydrogen behaviors in FLiNaK. The results showed the behaviors of deuterium were consistence with the behaviors of hydrogen in FLiNaK. The difference between hydrogen and deuterium has not been observed upon the experimental research of the behavior characteristics of hydrogen and deuterium in FLiNaK, which suggested the results obtained here might apply equally to the behavior characteristics of tritium in FLiNaK.

Spherical phospholipid bilayers, vesicles, were formed with respect to phase of each layer via a double emulsion technique. The conversion of phosphatidylcholine (PC) to phosphatidic acid (PA) at the outer layer, caused by phospholipase D (PLD), induced a curvature change in the vesicles, which eventually led them to fuse each other. The effect of the lipid layer physical-properties on the PLD-induced vesicle fusion was investigated using the fluorescence intensity change. 8-Aminonaphthalene-1,3,6-trisulfonic acid disodium salt(ANTS) and p-Xylene-bis(N-pyridinium bromide)(DPX) were encapsulated in the vesicles, respectively, for the quantification of the fusion. The fluorescence scale was calibrated with the fluorescence of a 1/1 mixture of ANTS and DPX vesicles in NaCl buffer taken as 100% fluorescence (0% fusion) and the vesicles containing both ANTS and DPX as 0% fluorescence (100% fusion), considering the leakage into the medium studied directly in a separate experiment using vesicles containing both ANTS and DPX. It was observed that the fusion occurred to the liquid-phase of the inner layer only. The fusion behaviors were very similar for both solid and liquid of the outer layer. However, the leakage was faster for the solid-phase outer-layer than the liquid-phase outer-layer. The difference in the leakage seems to be caused by the lipid concentration and the lateral diffusivity in the layer.

Using poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) as a polymer host, poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) as a plasticizer, potassium iodide and iodine as sources of $I^-/I_3^-$, polymer electrolyte membranes were prepared. Based on the polymer electrolytes, solid-state dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC)s were fabricated. The content of PEG in the electrolyte was controlled to be 95%. The mole number of KI per 1 mole of EO ([KI]/[EO] ratio) in the electrolyte was changed to be 0.022, 0.044, 0.066 and 0.088. The electrolyte membrane showed wax phase in ambient temperature. The ionic conductivity increased with increasing KI content to reach the maximum value at which [KI]/[EO] ratio is 0.066. After the maximum value, the ionic conductivity decreased with increasing KI content. In the case of DSSC, the Voc decreased continuously with increasing KI content in the polymeric electrolyte membrane. The $J_{SC}$ increased with increasing KI content to show maximum value at which [KI]/[EO] ratio is 0.044. In the higher KI content region, $J_{SC}$ value decreased with increasing KI content.

1. Under an asumption that Ficks diffusion equation could be applicable in soil systems, the diffusivities of NaCl in several flooded soil systems were measured to range from $0.4{\times}10^{-5}cm^2sec^{-1}$ to $0.83{\times}10^{-5}cm^2sec^{-1}$ 2. It was discussed that, when a polder soil with a uniform initial salt content through the profile is desalinated only by diffusion to flooding water, the salt content in profile is a function of soil depth, diffusion time, and diffusivity as following $$C=C^{\circ}erf\frac{x}{\sqrt[2]{Dt}}$$ 3. On the basis of Kirkham, et al's integration of complementary erra function, the speed of desalting was discussed to be inversely proportional to the square root of time as following $$dq/dt=C^{\circ}{\sqrt{D/{\pi}t}}$$ 4. It was estimated enough to exchange the flooding water once or twice, even when desalination of polder soil is carried out only by diffusion, if the desalination begins in June, the used flooding water is fresh water, and flooding depth is 10cm. 5. Desalination of polder soil by diffusion requires 2 month for good standing of planted rice.

To suggest a thermal diffusivity predicting equation for mixed meat products, heat penetration curves of pork products containing filefish meat were plotted in the temperature range of $80.44{\sim}121.03^{\circ}C$, and thermal diffusivities were calculated from the heat penetration curves. The ground pork was mixed with minced filefish meat and some additives such as lard, isolated soy protein, $1.5\%$ of table salt and $2\%$ of polyphosphate to control the composition and texture of products, and then stuffed into a model can. The heat penetration curves were plotted using a thermocouple fixed at the slowest heating point of the can. At constant heating temperature, the thermal diffusivities of the products increased linearly with increasing moisture content. The values of the products with constant moisture content also increased linearly with increasing heating temperature. The thermal diffusivities of the products with moisture content of $51.47{\sim}80.20\%$ could be predicted by following equation: $${\alpha}_p=(3.045+0.59{\cdot}X_w){\cdot}{\alpha}_w+0.0098{\cdot}10^{-6}{\cdot}X_w-0.4287{\cdot}10^{-6},(m^2{\cdot}s^{-1})$$ Maximal differences of the thermal diffusivities predicted with this equation were in the range of ${\pm}0.8\%$ compared with the practical values. This equation and another predicting equation obtained from the previous study for the pork product without fish meat could be simplified as following one equation, and the maximal differences of the thermal diffusivities predicted with this equation for both products with and without fish meat were in the range of less than ${\pm}2.5\%$ $${\alpha}_p=(2.290+0.54{\cdot}X_w){\cdot}{\alpha}_w+0.0024{\cdot}10^{-6}{\cdot}X_w-0.3535{\cdot}10^{-6},(m^2{\cdot}s^{-1})$$
