The blends of waste-polyethylene (W-PE)/waste-ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (W-EVA) with inorganic and phosphorous flame retardants (i.e., aluminium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, and so on) were prepared by melt mixing techniques at different compositions and foamed. The flame retardancy and foaming properties of the blends, limiting oxygen index (LOI), heat release rate (HRR), carbon monoxide yield (COY), total heat release (THR), effective heat of combustion (EHC), expandability and cell structure were investigated using cone calorimeter, SEM, LOI tester and polarizing microscope. When the composition ratios of the W-PE/W-EVA blends were 50/50 (w/w), and the ranges of the flame retardants contents were $175{\sim}220 phr$, we could obtain foams with the uniform and closed cell, high expandability (1900 % or more), high LOI, and low HRR values. These results depend on crosslinking and loaming conditions, a char formation and smoke suppressing effect. Aluminium hydroxide had more effect in the increase of LOI than magnesium hydroxide, while magnesium hydroxide considerably affected the decrease of HRR and COY.

In this study, the effect of grouping by communication apprehension level in paired think-aloud problem solving was examined. Three classes of 9th graders (N=99) were randomly assigned to a control group, homogeneous group or heterogeneous group based on the test scores of their communication apprehension. After the instructions concerning ‘writing balanced chemical equation', ‘the law of conservation of mass', and ‘the law of definite proportions' for 7 class hours, students' chemistry problem solving ability and the perception to the paired think-aloud problem solving were examined. Two-way ANOVA results revealed that there was an interactive effect in the score of chemistry problem solving ability test. In simple effect test for the students of low communication apprehension, the scores of the heterogeneous group were found to be significantly higher than those of the control group. However, the students in homogeneous group had relatively positive perceptions to the paired think-aloud problem solving.

This study was done to classify the proteins involved in the specific phosphorylation using the rat peripheral blood lymphocytes (rPBL) stimulated with mitogens, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and concanavalin A (Con A). The lymphocytes were incubated with $^{32}P-orthophosphate$ before PMA or Con A stimulation. The migration patterns of the phosphorylated proteins of mitogen-treated rPBL in two dimensional electrophoretic fields were analyzed after autoradiography. The stimulation of the lymphocytes with PMA and Con A increased the phosphorylation of thirteen protein fractions. The phosphorylation intensities of the protein spots differ to the treatments of the cells with specific kinase inhibitors, H-7 and W-7. These protein fractions were grouped into 3 classes, namely, PKC-mediated, CaM kinase-mediated, and other kinase mediated proteins. The effect of the duration of the stimulation on the phosphorylated behaviors occurred concurrently, not sequentially, although each individual protein fraction had a different time for the peak phosphorylation during the stimulation period upto 30 minutes. The phosphoproteins found in the cytosolic soluble fraction were phosphorylated prior to those in the pellet, whose phosphorylations were sustained at a high level for over 10 minutes. The above results suggest that the early events in lymphocyte activation involve 3 different sets of proteins which are phosphorylated by CaM kinase, PKC and other kinases, and those kinases do not work sequentially, but rather, independently or cooperatively.

Bioprocessing technologies utilizing 'biorecognition' between a solid matrix and a protein is being widely experimented as a means to replacing the conventional, solution-based technology. Frequently the matrices are chromatographic resins with specific functional groups exposed outside. Since the reactions of and interactions with the proteins occur as they are attached to the solid matrix, this 'solid-phase' processing has distinct advantages over the solution-phase technology. Solid-phase refolding of inclusion body proteins uses ion exchange resins to adsorb denaturant-dissolved inclusion body. As the denaturant is slowly removed from the micromoiety around the protein, it is refolded into a native, three-dimensional structure. Once the refolding is complete, the folded protein can be eluted by a conventional elution technique such as the salt-gradient. This concept was successfully extended to 'EBA (expanded bed adsorption)-mediated refolding,' in which the denaturant-dissolved inclusion body in whole cell homogenate is adsorbed to a Streamline resin while cell debris and other impurity proteins are removed by the EBA action. The adsorbed protein follows the same refolding steps. This solid-phase refolding process shows the potential to improve the refolding yield, reduce the number of processing steps and the processing volume and time, and thus improve the overall process economics significantly. In this paper, the experimental results of the solid-phase refolding technology applied to several biopharmaceutical proteins of various types are presented.

The tungsten oxo-nitrosyl complexes (n-Bu4N)2[W5O12(NO)2{RC(NH2)NHO}2{RC(NH)NO}2] (R=(CH3)2CH, CH3CH2CH2, CH3SCH2) have been synthesized by the reactions of polyoxotungsten complex (n-Bu4N)2[W6O19] and tungsten dinitrosyl monomeric complex [W(NO)2(acac)(CH3CN)2](BF4) with butylamidoxime derivatives. The prepared complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, infrared, UV-visible, 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The pentanuclear species was formed by the interaction of the electron-withdrawing {W(NO)2}2+ unit between the two dinuclear tungsten {W2O5}2+ cores. We can estimate to exist large proton interactions viewed from the four doublet in 1H NMR spectrum of (n-Bu4N)2[W5O12(NO)2{(CH3)2CHC(NH2)NHO}2{(CH3)2CHC(NH)NO}2]. We also drew informations of the two different coordination mode and symmetry of the complexes because two ligands appear in 13C NMR spectra instead of four. The {W(NO)2}2+ unit has been cis-form and C2v symmetry in geometric structure.

Thermal degradation of thermoplasitc polyurethane modified polycarbonate has been investigated by means of DSC, GPC and FT-IR techniques. The polyurethanes used in this study are TPU-35 and TPU-53 containing 35.5 and 53.4 wt% of hard segments, respectively. The more content of hard segment, the higher the glass transition temperature (T$_{g}$) of TPU was observed. On the other hand, the T$_{g}$ of the TPU modified PC decreased with the content of TPU and the annealing temperature regardless of the hard segment contents. The latter behavior nay arise from the thermal degradation of TPU upon annealing process: the observed thermal degradation temperatures were at 240 and 25$0^{\circ}C$ for the PC/TPU-35 and PC/TPU-53, respectively. The molecular weight, molecular weight distribution and viscosity agree well with the DSC measurement, which implicates a thermal degradation of TPU. In addition, thermal stability of the TPU modified PC linearly decreased with an incorporation of TPU. Transesterification or any interaction was not observed using FT-IR: the evidence was no frequency shift or any variance betwere the carbonyl stretching and NH group. For the specimens prepared below the degradation temperature, the enhancement of the thickness dependent impact strength of the PC/TPU blend was observed, and the morphology of the two blends was compared.d.

This study demonstrates a new method for the synthesis of organic-inorganic hybrid particles composed of an inorganic silica shell and organic core particles. The organic core particles are prepared with a uniform size using droplet-based microfluidic technology. In the process of preparing the organic core particles, uniform droplets are generated by independently controlling the flow rates of the dispersed phase containing photocurable resins and the continuous phase. After the generation of droplets in a microfluidic device, the droplets are photo-polymerized as particles by ultraviolet irradiation at the ends of microfluidic channels. The core particle is coated with a nano complex composed of polyallylamine hydrochloride (PAH) and phosphate ion (Pi) through strong non-covalent interactions such as hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interaction under optimized pH conditions. The polyamine nano complex rapidly induces the condensation reaction of silicic acid through the arranged amine groups of the main chain of PAH. Therefore, this method enabled the preparation of organic-inorganic hybrid particles coated with inorganic silica nanoparticles on the organic core. Finally, we demonstrated the synthesis of organic-inorganic hybrid particles in a short time under ambient and environmentally friendly conditions, and this is applicable to the production of organic-inorganic hybrid particles having various sizes and shapes.

Hexagonal shape Si crystals were grown by the mixed-source hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE) method of mixing solid materials such as Si, Al and Ga. In the newly designed atmospheric pressure mixed-source HVPE method, nuclei are formed by the interaction between GaCl_n, AlCl_n and SiCl_n gases at a high temperature of 1200℃. In addition, it is designed to generate a precursor gas with a high partial pressure due to the rapid reaction of Si and HCl gas. The properties of hexagonal Si crystals were investigated through scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), high-resolution X-ray diffraction (HR-XRD), and Raman spectrum. From these results, it is expected to be applied as a new material in the Si industry.

The purpose of this study was to compare participants' perceived emotion following harmonic changes in music. In this study, 144 participants, aged 19 to 29 years, listened to music online that included low to high harmonic progression in tonal music (major-minor). After listening to each piece of music, participants were asked to rate 4 items using a 7-point Likert scale: emotional potency, arousal, degree to which the harmony impacted the listener's emotions, and listener's preference for the music. There were significant differences between each of the four items upon the level of harmonic progression. When the participants were divided into two groups (i.e., those with a background in music and those with no background in music), there was a significant difference between the groups in terms of emotional potency, but there was no significant interaction effect. This study confirmed that various emotional responses in listeners can be induced by controlling the exogenous variables in musical excerpts. Based on this, it is expected that the harmonic progression level can be provided to the client to be used as an effective therapeutic tool in music therapy intervention.

This study focused at the local and historical characteristics of Busan from the perspective of local culture, along with the local characteristics of Busan. Busan's local cuisine has been reborn and continues to this day, influenced by the geographical and historical characteristics of the place. Places are not merely spatial points marked by coordinates, but are also semantics that include the human experience and emotional aspects of living in them. A place is a mix of culture, a human response to the visible environment and the environment. An understanding of a place provides a basis for understanding personal geography, culture, and history. .One of the specialties of an area with its location is the local cuisine. Local cuisines are not immutable, as they can change according to the characteristics of the area and the preferences of the residents. Busan's local cuisines reflect the geographical features of the city, and include Busan's historical experiences. First, anchovies and eel are well known for their location as ports bordering the sea. Second, Dongnae Pajeon and Sanseong Makgeolli are made using marine products and grains. Thirdly, during Japanese occupation, fish cake and sliced raw fish was enjoyed by residence in Busan. And finally, Milmyun and Pork Soup, the food made by refugees who came down to Busan and settled down during the 1·4 retreat. The local cuisine, which represents an area, goes beyond simply being eaten, enjoyed, and consumed as a commodity, and is a symbol of the geographical and historical characteristics of the area.
