The aim of this study was to investigate the nutrient removal using Mg-Sericite flocculant in the dyeing wastewater. Mg-Sericite flocculant was removed successfully > 98% of the Color, SS. COD and BOD in the dyeing wastewater at the following optimal Mg-Sericite dosage: 100 mg/L for Colour and SS, 300 mg/L for BOD and COD. The removal of TN and TP was obtained 92.00% with 50 mg/L and 87.80% with 100 mg/L Mg-Sericite dosage, respectively. These results was indicated that the amount of 0.79~1.31, 0.22~0.37, 0.5 and 0.16 mg/L Mg-Sericite was necessary for 1 mg/L removal BOD, COD, TN and TP, respectively. The biopolymer, Mg-Sericite, can be a promising flocculants due to its high efficiency and low dose requirements. In addition, Mg-Sericite does not contaminate treated wastewater, which can be recycled to reduce not only the cost and the demand for water but also the extra operational costs for reusing wastewater. This flocculation method is helpful to lower the wastewater treatment cost.

In this paper, sub-microwave oscillator sensor is proposed to non-invasively monitor the glucose concentration level of the human biological tissue by oscillation frequency variation. Inductive slot in the ground plane of the microstrip line is combined with the biological tissue, to realize the resonator as a part of the oscillator sensor. The phantom box mimicking the human tissue is introduced for simulation of the resonator which resonance frequency correspondingly shifts up on three step glucose concentration levels(0, 400, 800 mg/dL). Oscillator sensor circuit is fabricated as a prototype. Pig tissues instead of human is used. Oscillation frequency shift of about 14 MHz per glucose level of 400 mg/dL has been successfully measured around 1,100 MHz. This proves that the proposed sensor is applicable to a blood glucose sensor.

The antioxidant activity of Chrysanthemum indicum L. extract (CIL) was investigated by fermenting lactic acid bacteria with the CIL from 64% and 80% ethanol extraction and measuring the total phenolic contents (TPC), flavonoid, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), reducing power (RP), and linoleic acid auto-oxidation inhibitory activity. CIL was confirmed to inhibit bacterial auto-oxidation. TPC was increased in strains 3109 and 3237, while flavonoid decreased in all strains. DPPH was increased in strains 3074 and 3109 fermented with 64% CIL and all the strains with 80% CIL. RP was increased and linoleic acid auto-oxidation inhibitory activity decreased in all the strains fermented with 64% or 80% CIL. Among the 4 strains, strain 3109 had the highest DPPH and RP; thus, it was most effective in increasing CIL's antioxidant efficacy through the fermentation process.

In this paper, the breakdown voltage of Pi-LDMOS (Partial isolation lateral double diffused metal oxide semiconductor) was analyzed by simulation. Breakdown voltage variation is investigated under various settings of Parial buied oxide(P-BOX) parameters(length, thickness, location) and their mechanism is specified. In addition, the change in on-resistance in the breakdown voltage and trade-off relationship was analyzed according to the change in the P-BOX parameter, and the Figure-of-merit(FOM) was calculated and compared. In proposed structure, Lbox=5 ㎛, tbox=2 ㎛, and Lbc=2 ㎛ showed the highest breakdown voltage of 138V, and Lbox=5 ㎛, tbox=1.6 ㎛, and Lbc=2 ㎛ showed the highest FOM. Compared to conventional LDMOS, the breakdown voltage is 123% and FOM is 3.89 times improved. Therefore, Pi-LDMOS has a high breakdown voltage and FOM, which can contribute to the improvement of the stable operating range of the Power IC.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of skill and distance factors on CoP (Center of pressure) and CoM (Center of mass) during golf putting. Method: 38 golfers were participated in this study. 8 motion capture cameras (250 Hz) and 2 force plates (1,000 Hz) were used to collect CoP and CoM during 2 m and 3 m of distance golf putting. To identify main effect and interaction effect, it was performed Two-Way ANOVA at a significant level of a .05. Results: In the novice group, CoP distance was significantly difference in the A/P direction and main effect between skill level and distance. Both groups indicated that CoP distance was significantly different and main effect between skill level and distance in the M/L direction. Finally, both groups showed that CoM was significantly different and main effect between skill level and distance in the M/L direction. Conclusion: Therefore, novice golfers are expected to be able to perform more accurate and proper putting exercise through the practice of minimizing the center of mass(CoM) and center of pressure (CoP) in the M/L direction, which is the pendulum movement of the putter head.

This paper presents the design of a broadcasting scenario and system for an 8K-resolution content. Due to an 8K content is four times larger than the 4K content in terms of size, many technologies such as content acquisition, video coding, and transmission are required to deal with it. Therefore, high-quality video and audio for 8K (ultra-high definition television) service is not possible to be transmitted only using the current terrestrial broadcasting system. The proposed broadcasting system divides the 8K content into four 4K contents by area, and each area is hierarchically encoded by Scalable High-efficiency Video Coding (SHVC) into three layers: L0, L1, and L2. Every part of the 8K video content divided into areas and hierarchy is independently treated. These parts are transmitted over heterogeneous networks such as digital broadcasting and broadband networks after going through several processes of generating signal messages, encapsulation, and packetization based on MPEG media transport. We propose three methods of generating streams at the sending entity to merge the divided streams into the original content at the receiving entity. First, we design the composition information, which defines the presentation structure for displays. Second, a descriptor for content synchronization is included in the signal message. Finally, we define the rules for generating "packet_id" among the packet header fields and design the transmission scheduler to acquire the divided streams quickly. We implement the 8K broadcasting system by adapting the proposed methods and show that the 8K-resolution contents are stably received and serviced with a low delay.

Heavy metals can be intentionally or unintentionally introduced into plastic food utensils, containers, and packaging (PFUCP) as additives or contaminants, which can be ingested with food by humans. Here, seven-heavy metals (lead, cadmium, nickel, chromium, antimony, copper, and manganese) with toxicity concerns were selected, and risk assessment was done by establishing their migration from 137 PFUCP products made of 16 materials distributed in Korea. Migration of heavy metals was examined by applying 4% acetic acid as a food simulant (70℃, 30 minutes) to the PFUCP products. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was employed for the analysis of migrated heavy metals, and the reliability of quantitative results was confirmed by checking linearity, LOD, LOQ, recovery, precision, and expanded uncertainty. As a result of monitoring, heavy metals were detected at a level of non-detection to 8.76 ± 11.87 ㎍/L and most of the heavy metals investigated were only detected at trace amounts of less than 1 ㎍/L on average. However, antimony migrated from PET products was significantly higher than other groups. Risk assessment revealed that all the heavy metals investigated were safe with a margin of exposure above 311. Collectively, we demonstrated that heavy metals migrated from PFUCP products distributed in Korea appear to be within the safe range.

The laminar burning velocity was measured using a spherical combustion bomb with central ignition. Mixtures with equivalence ratio between 0.6 and 1.2, were tested. The computation was carried out for the burning velocity using premix code of Chemkin program under the unburned gas pressure of 0.5bar-30bar and temperature of 300K-700K at ${\Phi}1.0$. The results showed little difference between these two methods. The burning velocity was decreased by increasing the pressure and increased by increasing the temperature. The burning velocity was predicted by using the following equations $$S_L(m/s) = S_{st}(T/300)^{1.85}(P)^{-0.45}$$ $$(0.5bar{\leq}P{\leq}30bar,\;300K{\leq}T{\leq}700K)$$).
