NaA zeolite/${\alpha}$-alumina composite membranes were hydrothermally synthesized at $100^{\circ}C$ for 24 hr by using nanosize seed of 100 nm in diameter and an ${\alpha}$-alumina support of $0.1{\mu}m$ in pore diameter, and then effect of seed coating layer on the microstructure of NaA zeolite separation layer was systematically investigated. In cases when nanosize seed was coated with a monolayer, increment in seed coverage induced small grained and thick NaA zeolite separation layer. On the other hand, in case when nanosize seed was coated with a multilayer, much small grained and thick separation layer was formed. It was clear that an uniform monolayer seed coating is required to grow hydrothermally a thin and defect-free NaA zeolite separation layer. In the present study, it was clearly announced that seed coating layer is a key factor to determine the microstructure of NaA zeolite layer, secondary grown on a porous support.

다중의 연속 미디어 데이타를 출력 마감시간(playout deadline)전에 검색 및 전송하여 자연스럽게 처리하기 위한 가장 효율적인 처리방안은 메모리 버퍼를 이용하는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 다중 스트림의 데이타 전송 요구 및 해제시의 버퍼 상태를 파악하여 버퍼를 동적으로 할당하고 물리작인 버퍼를 윈도우 크기의 논리버퍼로 분할하여 동적으로 관리하는 매핑관리자를 설계하여 버퍼이용률을 높일 수 있는 방안을 제시하였다. 또한, 서로 다른 소비율로 발생된 여분의 버퍼 공간을 활용할 수 있는 지능적인 선반입 기법과 마감시간을 고려한 전송 스케줄링 기법을 통해 실시간에 동기식으로 다중 미디어 스트림을 전송할 수 있는 동적 버퍼 관리 기법을 제안하였다. 마지막으로, 버퍼의 이용율을 높이기 위해 입출력 주기에 따라 버퍼 공간을 여러 스트림들이 파이프라이닝 방식으로 버퍼를 공유하는 기법과 잔여 버퍼공간의 할당 여부를 결정하기 위한 수락제어 기법을 적용하였다.

The influence of SiO$_2$on the microstructure and electrical properties of zinc oxide varistor was investigated. Zn$_2$SiO$_4$third phase in the sintered body was found at grain boundaries, multiple grain junctions, and occasionally within ZnO grains. This phase acted as a grain growth inhibitor, which retard the grain growth of the ZnO matrix by impeding migration on the grain boundaries. As SiO$_2$ addition increases, average grain size decreased from 40.6${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ to 26.9${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ due to the pinning effect by Zn$_2$SiO$_4$ and drag effect by Si segregation at grain boundaries, the breakdown voltage consequently increased. When SiO$_2$ addition is increased, interface state density decreased, however, the barrier height increased by decrease of donor concentration, as a result, the nonlinear exponent increased and leakage current decreased. While, as SiO$_2$ addition increase, it was found that the apparent dielectric loss factor shows a tendency of decrease. Wholly, electrical properties of zinc oxide varistor can be said to be improved by SiO$_2$addition.

$ZnWO_4$ nano-powders were successfully synthesized at low temperature by polymerized complex method using zinc acetate and tungstic acid as starting materials. The polymeric precursors were heat-treated at temperatures from 300 to $600^{\circ}C$ for 3 h. The precursors and heat-treated powders were evaluated for crystallization process, thermal decomposition, surface morphology and crystallite size. Crystallization of the $ZnWO_4$ powders were detected at $400^{\circ}C$ and entirely completed at a temperature of $600^{\circ}C$. The particles heat-treated at $400^{\circ}C$ showed primarily co-mixed morphology with spherical and silk-worm-like forms, while the particles heat-treated at $500^{\circ}C$ showed more homogeneous morphology. The average crystalline sizes were 17.62~24.71 nm showing an ordinary tendency to increase with the temperatures from 400 to $600^{\circ}C$.

To synthesize ZnO colloidal solution by a sol-gel process, zinc acetate ($C_{4}H_{6}O_{4}Zn{\cdot}2H_{2}O{\cdot}0.2\;mol$) and lithium hydroxide ($LiOH{\cdot}H_{2}O{\cdot}0.14\;mol$) in the ethanol were added to the solution containing a dispersing agent, hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC). The nanosize and physical shape of the synthesized ZnO particles were determined by HPC acting as the dispersing agent. Nanosized ZnO particles were also obtained by a precipitation method based on zinc-2-ethylhexagonate. The precipitates were characterized by DLS, XRD, FE-SEM, and UV-vis. As the results, the ZnO colloids tend to self-assemble into a well-ordered hexagonal close-packed structure. The ZnO nanoparticles have an average diameter of nearly 40 nm with a narrow size distribution.

This paper proposes a new approach fur the detection of facial feature regions using the characteristic of DCT(discrete cosine transformation) thatconcentrates the energy of an image into lower frequency coefficients. Since the facial features are pertained to relatively high frequency in a face image, the inverse DCT after removing the DCT's coefficients corresponding to the lower frequencies generates the image where the facial feature regions are emphasized. Thus the facial regions can be easily segmented from the inversed image using any differential operator. In the segmented region, facial features can be found using face template. The proposed algorithm has been tested with the image MIT's CBCL DB and the Yale facedatabase B. The experimental results have shown superior performance under the variations of image size and lighting condition.

Direct decomposition of hydrocarbon (methane, propane) was studied using a thermal plasma to produce high purity hydrogen and carbon black. Thermodynamic equilibrium compositions were calculated based on the minimization of Gibb's free energy, and decomposition experiments were performed on the basis of calculation results. The purity of hydrogen was found to be depended strongly on the flow rate of hydrocarbon. The decomposition conditions for high purity hydrogen were investigated. The purity of hydrogen produced from methane decomposition was higher than that from propane. In the case of propane, it was investigated that by products such as methane, acetylene, and ethane etc., by radical recombination under thermal plasma were produced more than that of methane. Produced carbon blacks were characterized by material analyses, such as XRD, Raman spectroscopy, SEM, and particle size analysis. In both methane and propane decompositions, well-crystallized carbon blacks were produced and showed uniform and sphere-like morphologies. The size of carbon black synthesized from methane was observed to be smaller than that from propane.

The present study announces that the pH value of seed coating solution makes a significant effect on the microstructure of silicalite-1 zeolite layer formed on ${\alpha}$-alumina support. Seed with an average diameter of 75 nm was dispersed in ethanol to prepare three kinds of seed coating solutions with different pH values, and dip-coated on the support. The pH value was controlled to be 2.2, 7.0, and 9.3, respectively. In the secondary growth process, pH 7 seed solution resulted an uniform, 3 to $4{\mu}m$ thick, completely covered, and 100 nm grained silicalite-1 zeolite separation layer. The uniformity and completeness were explained by a uniform, closely packed, multi-layered, and completely covered seed coating in the pH 7 condition. In the condition, ${\alpha}$-alumina support and seed are oppositely charged: support is positively charged (8.4 mV) and seed, negatively (-1.7 mV). The opposite charging induced a strong electrostatic attraction between seed and support, which made the good seed coating state. On the other hand, pH 2.2 and pH 9.3 seed solutions resulted non-uniform, partially covered, and around $1{\mu}m$ grained zeolite separation layer, since seed and support are the same sign charged in the conditions. The same sign charging induced a strong electrostatic repulsion between seed and support which caused a low coverage of seed. It could be concluded that the pH value of seed coating solution is a key parameter to determine the microstructure of silicalite-1 zeolite separation layer.
