To address the problem of global warming, consumption of cement, the main material of concrete, should be decreased. Unfortunately, when industrial by-products are used in large quantities as admixture, the early age strength of concrete will be decreased, reducing its viability for use in concrete structures. Therefore, in this study, the application of an ionization accelerator and alkaline activator as addition agent of superplasticizer were investigated to secure a similar early age strength to that of normal concrete, thus increasing the viability of low cement concrete. Through the investigation, it was found that specimens that used a combination of Alkaline-activator (Na2Sio3) and ionization accelerator (Amine) had the highest early and long-age compressive strength. From this, we can determine an appropriate range of application of superplasticizer to improve early-age compressive strength of low cement concrete.

Recently, there has been growing interest in barrier-free design which makes safe and convenient space for every pedestrian, not only the non-disabled but also the disabled. The purpose of this study is to suggest the data on the pavement materials of barrier-free pedestrian environment in view of universal design. In order to this, the research is focused on evaluating the visual preference and preference factors for pavement scenery, which can be changed by pavement materials. And this research is also comparing the visual preference and preference factors of the disabled with that of the non-disabled. A multi-regression analysis method is adopted to analyse the correlation between the visual preference for pavement scenery and preference factors in this study. The result of this analysis is as follows. Firstly, there are some differences of visual preference for the pavement material between the disabled and the non-disabled. Secondly, independent variables influencing on preference are similar between two groups. Thirdly, there are some differences in the priority of preference between the disabled and the non-disabled. This study will contribute to the field of barrier-free design and sustainable development projects in order to maximize the human being's satisfaction.

Celadon shards from Gangjin and Buan were analyzed for their color, chemistry and microstructures. They exhibited similar chromatic characteristics in a $CIEL^*a^*b^*$ analysis. All of the glazes assessed showed comparable compositional areas, while the bodies from Gangjin shards had higher $RO_2$ concentrations. A high degree of similarity was also noted in the microstructures of the glaze and bodies from both regions. Anorthite crystals appeared in the glaze layer, and phase separation behavior developed around these crystals. This may have been caused by the glaze chemistry and the sintering process given the lengthy heating and cooling time. A Raman analysis indicated higher isolated $SiO_4$ unit ($Q_0$) values for the Buan samples. This can stem from the higher firing temperature or the longer sintering process.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the cost of dental implant by top-down method and, on that basis, to provide salient information for the suitable standard of dental insurance fee. A survey data and accounting documents from 36 samples of dental clinics secured with the organisation authority are used and analysed for extracting the representative sample of dental clinic. A researcher visited the dental clinics in person and conducted additional interviews in the omitted case of accounting documents. A dental implant cost by top-down method was estimated to 1,430,000 won. Labor cost accounted for 43% of the total cost structure, ranking it 1st and, management cost, material cost and interest cost on investment cost in order are investigated. Labor cost counts of the total cost that shows the similar aspect to the existing result. Cost in cost accounting of medical care would be used for the judge that cost pursed value for dental service, not price or fee.

This study was tried to evaluate possibilities for discriminating the mixture degree of wheat flour from buckwheat products. Buckwheat was milled into four grades of powder, i.e. whole grain flour (WGF), inner layer flour(ILF), middle layer flour(MLF) and outer layer flour(OLF)), and these powders were mixed with wheat flour(WF) to make mixed samples. Ash, protein and fat contents of the buckwheat flours were high in the order of OLF=WGF>MLF>ILF. On the other hand, WF showed a similar content to OLF in ash and protein, and to ILF in fats. Potassium and magnesium contents were higher in all the buckwheat powder than in the wheat flour. Flavonoid contents were higher in order of OLF>WGF=MLF> ILF, but it was not in wheat flour. Although the reliable correlation between mix ratio and components, i.e. mag nesium or ash analyzed were found, it did not seem to reflect sufficiently the expected variations of contents of original material components. Also, compositions of commercial buckwheat products were analyzed to evaluate the mixed ratio of buckwheat flour and wheat flour. The results suggest that the components analyzed in this study as putative marker were not good in determining whether or how much buckwheat products contained wheat flour.

The use of oyster shells is proposed as a substitute construction material for geotechnical applications. To investigate recycling possibility as a substitute of sand compaction pile (SCP) for oyster shells, the geotechnical characteristics including permeability and shear strength of crushed oyster shell, sand and crushed oyster shell-sand mixted soil. Experimental results show that the crushed oyster shells are lighter than sand in weight, and have similar characteristics on permeability to sand. The results of direct shear test show that the measured value of friction angle ${\Phi}$ of crushed oyster shell was lager than that of sand. It would be expected that more angular particles (crushed oyster shells) would interlock more thoroughly than rounded particles (send).

Depending on the optical design method, a novel dual-mode transflective LCD with proper LC material and optical films was developed. The design increased the optical transmittance and the reflectivity of dual-mode transflective LCDs with the proper parameters of cell gap, alignment layer and optical films. These parameters were evaluated by computer simulation. The simulation results also revealed that the transmissive and reflective states presented similar performance in the transflective LCDs.

Cellulose, consisted of 45 wt% in wood, is usable as fuels and heavy oil additives if depolymerized to monomer unit, because the chemical structures are similar to high octane materials found in gasoline. In this study, thermochemical degradation by solvolysis reaction of cellulose such as the effect of reaction temperature, reaction time and type of solvent on conversion yield and degradation products were investigated. It was found that the effectiveness of the solvent on the sovolysis reaction was as follows; acetone>n-butanol>tetralin. When acetone was used as a solvent, the highest cellulose conversion was observed to be 91.8% at 500$^{\circ}C$, 40min. Combustion heating value of liquid products from thermochemical conversion processes was in the range of 7,330${\sim}$7,410cal/g. The energy yield and mass yield in acetone-solvolysis of cellulose was as high as 66.8% and 37.0 g oil/100g raw material after 40min of reaction at 400$^{\circ}C$. Various aliphatic and aromatic compounds were detected in the cellulose solvolysis products. The major components of the solvolysis products, that could be used as fuel, were mesityl oxide, mesitylene, isophorone.

Pseudomonas cepacia BY21 was found to produce glutaryl acylase that is capable of deacylating glutaryl-7-aminocephalosporanic acid (glutaryl-7-ACA) to 7-aminocephalosporanic acid (7-ACA), which is a starting material for semi-synthetic cephalosporin antibiotics. Amino acids of the reported glutaryl acylases from various Pseudomonas sp. strains show a high similarity (>93% identity). Thus, with the known nucleotide sequences of Pseudomonas glutaryl acylases in GenBank, PCR primers were designed to clone a glutaryl acylase gene from P. cepacia BY21. The unknown -subunit gene of glutaryl acylase from chromosomal DNA of P. cepacia BY21 was cloned successfully by PCR. The -subunit amino acids of P. cepacia BY21 acylase (GenBank accession number AY948547) were similar to those of Pseudomonas diminuta KAC-1 acylase except that Asn408 of P. diuminuta KAC-1 acylase was changed to Leu408.
