This study was performed to investigate the influence of curing conditions on the composition of essential oil during curing process of burley tobacco leaves. The curing conditions were the primed curing in vinyl house (house-curing), air-curing barn (air-curing) and stalk-curing in conventional curing house (stalk-curing). Total 90 compounds are identified from the steam volatile oils of harvest and cured tobacco leaves by GC and GC-MS, respectively. The major components were neophytadiene, hexadecanoic acid, 3,8,13-duvatriene-1,5-diols, oxide-9-methylene-3,13-duvadienols, solanone, megastigma-4,6,8-trien-3-ones, phenylacetaldehyde, $\beta$-phenylethyl alcohol, indole, dihydroactinidiolide and phytol. The amount of alcoholic compounds was decreased more than approximately 50% in cured leaves without regard to the curing conditions. $\beta$-Phenylethyl alcohol and 3,8,13-duvatriene-1,5-diols were decreased more in air curing and stalk curing than in house curing. The amounts of phenylacetaldehyde, solanone, $\beta$-damascone, $\beta$ -damascenone, oxysolanone and megastigma-4,6,8-trien-3-ones as ketonic compounds, dihydroactinidiolide and indole as miscellaneous compounds in air-cured and stalk-cured tobacco leaves were 2 times higher than those in house-cured leaves, while esteric and acidic compounds were not changed largely in content by curing conditions.

This study was carried out to research the strength drop of concrete in dry environment. The mixing ratio of cement-fine aggregate was 1: 1, 1 : 2, 1: 3 and 1 : 4. The curing was compared standard curing with dry curing immediately after casting. It is analysis of strength change by water-proof mixing. The curing age of cement mortar was 3days, 7days, l4days and 28days. The result obtained from this study are summarized as follows. 1. The compressive and bending strength change by increasing the curing age, dry curing mortar the increasing rate of strength was decreased than standard curing mortar. 2. The compressive and bending strength change in early curing, strength difference between standard curing mortar and dry curing motar was gradually closed by increasing the W/C. 3. The dry curing mortar was decreased than standard curing mortar in decreasing rate of compressive and bending strength by increasing the W/C. 4. The compressive strength of water-proof mortar in early curing, liquid water-proof mortar was shown high strength in dry curing than standard curing. The powder and liquid water-proof mortar have a small effect in dry environment. The liquid water-proof mortar was high strength without relation change of curing age in dry environment than standard curing. 5. The compressive strength of liquid water-proof mortar in poverty mix, dry curing was shown high strength than standard curing. 6. The bending strength was increased than compressive strength by decreasing the volume of cement in early curing. The increasing rate of bending strength was decreased to compressive stength by increasing the curing age.

In this study, polyethylene glycol (PEG) and polyacrylamide (PAM) have been used as self-curing agents to produce self-curing concrete (SC). Compressive strength, ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV), bulk electrical resistivity, chloride ion penetrability, water permeability, and main microstructural characteristics were examined under different curing regimes, and compared to those of the control concrete mixture with no self-curing agents. One batch of a control mixture and one batch of a SC mixture were air-cured in the lab to act as non-water-cured samples. The water curing regimes for the control mixture included continuous water curing for 3, 7, and 28 days and periodical moist curing using wetted burlap for 3 and 7 days. Curing regimes for the SC mixtures included 3 days of water curing and periodical moist curing for 3 and 7 days. SC mixtures showed better microstructure development and durability performance than those of the air-cured control mixture. A short water curing period of 3 days significantly improved the performance of the SC mixtures similar to that of the control mixture that was water cured for 28 days. SC concrete represents a step towards sustainable construction due to its lower water demand needed for curing and hence can preserve the limited water resources in many parts of the world.

This study was conducted to obtain the basic information on the burley tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) curing methods. The effects of the three kinds of curing methods on the dry weight losses during curing, chemical contents and physical properties of cured leaves, and organoleptic and smoking qualities were observed. The dry weight losses during curing was the highest in the stalk curing, and the lowest in the conventional priming. The longer the curing periods was, the more the loss of dry weight. The percent of the excessive dried leaves was high and the price per kilogram was low in the conventional priming. The chemical contents and the physical properties of the cured leaves in the conventional priming were similar to those of yellowing or browning stage of curing. But, the chemical contents and the physical properties of the cured leaves in the stalk curing were comparable to those of the air curing. The smoking quality was the best in the stalk curing.

Extrusion molding concrete panel is cured two times, that is the steam curing at atmospheric pressure and a high-pressure steam curing(autoclaving). Steam curing at atmospheric pressure is done before autoclaving and to acquire the proper strength for treat in process. Though this curing is the important factor on the quality of product and the speed in manufacturing process, it was not evaluated properly so far. Because of ignorance about curing, some engineers even think that the dry curing is better than the steam curing. This study is to investigate the properties of specimen according to variation of curing conditions in the coring chamber such as laboratory scale, pilot plant, and commercial plant. As estimating, in case of steam curing at atmospheric pressure to make extrusion molding concrete panel, moisture curing is better than dry curing and the desirable maximum temperature in curing chamber is about $50^{\circ}C$.

The curing characteristics of naphthalene type epoxy resin systems according to the change of curing agent were investigated to develop a new next-generation EMC(Epoxy Molding Compound) with excellent warpage characteristics, low thermal expansion, and excellent fluidity for WLP(Wafer Level Package). As epoxy resins, DGEBA, which are representative bisphenol type epoxy resins, NE-16, which are the base resins of naphthalene type epoxy resins, and NET-OH, NET-MA, and NET-Epoxy resins newly synthesized based on NE-16 were used. As a curing agent, DDM (Diamino Diphenyl Methane) and CBN resin with naphthalene moiety were used. The curing reaction characteristics of these epoxy resin systems with curing agents were analyzed through thermal analysis experiments. In terms of curing reaction mechanism, DGEBA and NET-OH resin systems follow the nth curing reaction mechanism, and NE-16, NET-MA and NET-Epoxy resin systems follow the autocatalytic curing reaction mechanism in the case of epoxy resin systems using DDM as curing agent. On the other hand, it was found that all of them showed the nth curing reaction mechanism in the case of epoxy resin systems using CBN as the curing agent. Comparing the curing reaction rate, the epoxy resin systems using CBN as the curing agent showed a faster curing reaction rate than them with DDM as a hardener in the case of DGEBA and NET-OH epoxy resin systems following the same nth curing reaction mechanism, and the epoxy resin systems with a different curing mechanism using CBN as a curing agent showed a faster curing reaction rate than DDM hardener systems except for the NE-16 epoxy resin system. These reasons were comparatively explained using the reaction rate parameters obtained through thermal analysis experiments. Based on these results, low thermal expansion, warpage reduction, and curing reaction rate in the epoxy resin systems can be improved by using CBN curing agent with a naphthalene moiety.

This study was carried out to control the stalk curing period in Burley Tobacco, for its period was longer than 40 days. The 5 methods were treated to shorten the stalk curing period. The curing period was shortened for 1~3 days by the harvesting methods and the amount of predehydration, but it was shortened for 8 days by the hanging methods(sloping and horizontal curing)and the hanging density(90 plants/3.3m2) without the decrease of quality. In the ventilating condition of the curing house, the curing period could be controlled for 5 dyes with the quality like the conventional cured leaves by closing the curing house from the late curing stage. But when the curing house was not ventilated earlier, however the curing period was shortened but its quality was decreased.

In order to assure the quality of concrete structure in construction process, the odor strength measured by using odor sensor was used to evaluate curing effect. Then, the compressive strength and odor strength in ordinary concrete N were shown in water curing(=standard curing), indoor and outdoor atmospheric curing condition. The difference between odor strength in the standard curing and that in each curing condition was defined as the difference in the odor strength. And the difference in odor strength in slag powder concrete BP cured in water curing(=standard curing) for different period before exposing in outdoor atmosphere in winter season were evaluated at the age of 14 days. A necessity to prolong the moisture curing for the slag powder concrete BP compared with the ordinary concrete N to obtain a required curing effect was shown by measuring the odor strength and long term compressive strength.

This research utilizes the modified sulfur having the low melting point which 65℃ is tries to study the strength property of the mortar according to the cure method of the modified sulfur mortar. And we try to use as basic data for investigating the curing condition of the light panel optimum utilizing the modified sulfur. We experimented by five kinds; 20℃ water curing method and 20, 40, 60, 80(℃) air dry curing method. In 3 day curing, the compressive strength was improved caused by high curing temperature. But the compressive strength was degraded caused by enhanced temperature in 7day curing and 28day curing. Therefore, the curing temperature of the modified sulfur mortar is determined that it comes 20 time case curing and the water curing is the most recommendable.

PURPOSES : This study investigates the effect on concrete pavement accordance with the curing methods in cool weather and supports the best method in the field. METHODS : Two field tests evaluated the curing methods of concrete pavement in cool weather. Firstly, five curing methods were tested, including normal curing compound, black curing compound, bubble sheet, curing mat, and curing mat covered with vinyl. Concrete maturity was compared from temperature data. Secondly, normal curing compound and curing mat with vinyl, which showed the best performance, were compared in terms of maturity and join condition index. RESULTS:From the field tests, it is an evident that curing mat with vinyl accelerated the concrete strength. Therefore, it is possible to conduct saw-cut works in cool weather, which minimizes damage on concrete at joint. CONCLUSIONS : For concrete pavement in cool weather, using curing mat with vinyl as the curing method could overcome the strength delay. Therefore, strength and durability problems on concrete at joint due to cool weather would be fewer in the future.
