As a part of abating formaldehyde emission of urea-formaldehyde resin, this study was conducted to investigate the rmalcure kinetics of both neat and modified urea-formaldehyde resins using differential scanning calorimetry. Neat urea-formaldehyde resins with three different formaldehyde/urea mol ratios (1.4, 1.2 and 1.0) were modified by adding three different additives (sodium bisulfite, sodium hydrosulfite and acrylamide) at two different levels (1 and 3wt%). An isoconversional method at four different heating rates was employed to characterize thermal cure kinetics of these urea-formaldehyde resins to obtain activation energy ($E{\alpha}$) dependent on the degree of conversion (${\alpha}$). The $E{\alpha}$ values of neat urea-formaldehyde resins (formaldehyde/urea = 1.4 and 1.2) consistently changed as the ${\alpha}$ increased. Neat and modified urea-formaldehyde resins of these two F/U mol ratios did show a decrease of the $E{\alpha}$ at the final stage of the conversion while the $E{\alpha}$ of neat urea-formaldehyde resin (formaldehyde/urea = 1.0) increased as the ${\alpha}$ increased, indicating the presence of incomplete cure. However, the change of the $E{\alpha}$ values of all urea-formaldehyde resins was consistent to that of the Ea values. The isoconversional method indicated that thermal cure kinetics of neat and modified urea-formaldehyde resins showed a strong dependence on the resin viscosity as well as diffusion control reaction at the final stage of the conversion.

The main objective of this study is to analyse the polarimetric characteristics of the various terrain targets by ground-based polarimetric SAR system and to confirm the compatible and effective polarimetric analysis method to reveal the polarization properties of different terrain targets by the GB-SAR. The fully polarimetric GB-SAR data with HH, HV, VH, and VV components were focused using the Deramp-FFT (DF) algorithm. The focused GB-SAR images were processed by the H/A/$\alpha$ polarimetric decomposition and the combined H/$\alpha$ or H/A/$\alpha$ and Wishart classification method. The segmented image and distribution graphs in H/$\alpha$ plane using Cloude and Pottier's method showed a reliable result that this quad-polarization GB-SAR data could be useful to classified corresponding scattering mechanism. The H/$\alpha$-Wishart and H/A/$\alpha$-Wishart classification results showed that a natural media and an artificial target were discriminated by the combined classification, in particular, after applying multi-looking and the Lee refined speckle filter.

Based on the results of Probabilistic Safety Assessment(PSA) for a Nuclear Power Plant (NPP), Common Cause Failure(CCF) events have been recognized as one of the main contributors to the risk. Also, the CCF data and estimation method used in domestic PSA models have been pointed out as an issue with respect to the quality. The existing method of MGL and non-staggered testing even widely used were considered conservative in estimating the safety and had a limited capability in uncertainty analyses. Therefore, this paper presents the CCF estimation using a new generic data source and Alpha factor method. The analyses showed that Alpha factor and staggered method are effective in estimating the CCF contribution and risk insights of reference plant. This method will be a common bases for the optimization of new design for the construction plants as well as for the updating of safety assessment on the operating nuclear power plants.

In this paper we propose a calculation method for fuzzy control based on quantized $\alpha$-cut decomposition of fuzzy sets. This method is easy to be implemented in analog hardware. The effect of quantization levels on defuzzified fuzzy inference results is investigated. A few quantization levels are sufficient for fuzzy control. The hardware implementation of this calculation method and the defuzzification by gravity center method by PWM are also presented.

Optically pure(-)-and (+)-$\alpha$-hydroxy-$\alpha$-(p-chlorobiphenyl)acetic acids were prepared. The racemate was synthesized through three steps. By condensation of p-cnorobiphenyl with diethyl ketomalonate in the presence of SnCl$_{4}$, diethyl $\alpha$-hydroxy-$\alpha$-(p-chlorobiphenyl)malonate (1) was formed and subsequently ($\pm$)-$\alpha$-hydroxy-$\alpha$-(p-chlorobiphenyl)acetic acid (3) was obtained through hydrolysis and decarboxylation. For the separation of the racemate the classical resolution method, derivatization of a racemate by reaction with an optically pure compound was employed. In this case the optically pure compound were [R]-(+)-$\alpha$-methylbenzylamine and [S]-(-)-$\alpha$-methylbenzylamine. Diastereomeric salts between acids and bases could be easily separated by crystallization in absolute ethanol.

In this paper, we present a method for vehicle tracking systems using $\alpha$-$\beta$ filter based on fuzzy logic. The $\alpha$-$\beta$ filter estimates the future target positions using fixed $\alpha$.$\beta$ coefficients. We utilize the fuzzy logic to make $\alpha$ and $\beta$ coefficients very with the position. Comparisons of tracking performance made for three different schemes: the $\alpha$-$\beta$ filter, $\alpha$-$\beta$filter using fuzzy logic, and the kalman filter.

${\alpha}-Cyclodextrin(CD)$이 starch-iodine 복합체를 변색시킬 수 있다는 성질을 이용하여 ${\alpha}CD$의 새로운 비색정량법을 확립하였다. 이 새로운 ${\alpha}CD$의 정량법은 다음과 같다. ${\alpha}CD$의 표준용액을 2 mg/ml까지 농도별로 준비하였다. 그리고 동량으로 혼합된 starch-iodine 복합체 용액 1ml에 ${\alpha}CD$ 표준용액 $200\;{\mu}l$와 증류수 3 ml를 함께 가하고, 570 nm에서 흡광도를 측정하였다. 이 방법으로 ${\alpha}CD$의 농도범위는 $0{\sim}2\;mg/ml$까지 측정할 수 있었고, 570 nm에서의 흡광도도 가장 좋은 직선성을 나타내었다. 한편, ${\beta}CD$와 glucose는 ${\alpha}CD$ 정량을 위한 본 방법에 아무런 방해효과가 없었다.

Algal chlorophyll-$\alpha$ is commonly determined by spectro-photometric method using 90% acetone as solvents. However, acetone has low extraction efficiency without grinding filters, and DMF (dimethyl formamide) was tested for the compatibility with acetone. Chlorophyll-$\alpha$ concentration was determined for samples from 5 reservoirs of different trophic states and phytoplankton composition, using acetone extraction with grinding and DMF without grinding. Chlorophyll-$\alpha$ measured by DMF and Acetone did not show a significant difference when using trichromatic method of UNESCO and Lorenzen, and therefore, DMF can substitute acetone. But when acidification method was applied, they showed significant difference of 8%. It can be concluded that DMF can extract chlorophylls more effectively without grinding and it can be a better alternative for the standard extraction solvent.

본 연구에서는 선형탄성 유한요소해석 방법과 $m_{\alpha}-tangent$ 방법으로 한계하중을 계산하고 이를 기존의 연구들에 의해 제시된 한계하중 식들과 비교하였다. 해석의 대상은 배관계의 대표 형상인 곡관과분기관을 선정하였다. 곡관과 분기관의 형상 변수를 다양하게 바꿔가면서 $m_{\alpha}-tangent$ 방법의 적용가능성을 살펴보았다. 하중은 내압하중과 면내굽힘하중을 각각 고려하였으며 곡관의 경우에는 기존의 한계하중식과 $m_{\alpha}-tangent$방법이 비교적 잘 일치함을 확인하였다. 하지만 분기관의 경우 형상의 특수성으로 인해 뚜렷한 경향 없이 기존의 한계하중 식과 $m_{\alpha}-tangent$ 방법이 일치하지 않는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이는 $m_{\alpha}-tangent$ 방법이 불연속부의 응력집중현상에 의해 왜곡된 결과를 갖기 때문으로 보인다.

A new synthetic method for tiaprofenic acid, which is a potent anti-inflammatory agent, was described. Friedel-Crafts reaction of thiophene with ethyl ${\alpha}-chloro-{\alpha}-(methylthio)$ acetate (1) gave ethyl ${\alpha}-methylthio-2-thiopheneacetate$ (3). Ethyl ${\alpha}-methyl-2-thiopheneacetate$ (5) was prepared by treatment of (3) with NaH and MeI, followed by desulfurization with zinc dust-acetic acid of the resultant ethyl ${\alpha}-methyl-{\alpha}-methylthio-2-thiopheneacetate$ (4). Tiaprofenic acid (7) could be easily synthesized by benzoylation of (5) and hydrolysis of the resultant ethyl $5-benzoyl-{\alpha}-methyl-2-thiopheneacetate$ (6).
