This study was conducted to optimize the medium composition for carotenoid production in Arthrobacter sp. PAMC 25486 through response surface methodology (RSM). Using a Placket-Burman design, from which yeast extract, $MgSO_4$ and dextrose were identified as the significant factors affecting carotenoids production. RSM studies for carotenoids production by Arthrobacter sp. PAMC 25486 have been carried out for three parameters of yeast extract, $MgSO_4$ and dextrose concentrations. These significant factors were optimized by experiments and RSM, as 1 g/L yeast extract, 0.0879 g/L $MgSO_4$ and 1 g/L dextrose. The experimentally obtained concentration of carotenoid was 288 mg/L, and it became 2-fold increase on concentration before optimization.

We report on the deposition of ZnO films using a metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) as a function of pushing pressure and kind of reactant such as oxygen gas and water A diethylzinc (DEZ) is supplied and controlled by Ar pushing pressure through bubbling system. Oxygen gas and water are used as reactant in order to form oxidation. We knew that the surface roughness is related in the process conditions such as reactant kind and DEZ flow rate. A substrate temperature has little role of surface roughness with $O_2$ reactant. However, $H_2O$ reactant makes it to increase over the 20 times. We could get the maximum roughness of 39.16 nm at the 90 sccm of DEZ Ar flow rate, the 8 Pa of $H_2O$ vapor pressure, and the $140^{\circ}C$ of substrate temperature. In this paper, we investigated the ZnO films for the application to the light absorption layer of solar cell layer.

Using non-invasive surface measurement method, the corrosion state of steel embedded inside concrete can be measured by placing four electrodes on the surface of concrete. Modeling of such measurements can provide valuable information as how interfacial impedance between corroded steel and surrounding concrete results in measured impedance on the concrete surface. In this paper, the modeling of surface measurement technique is used for the determination of the sensitivity of the measurements with respect to steel bar size embedded inside concrete and cover thickness. Modeling results indicated that steel bar sizes varied from D10 to D35 could be identified. Concrete cover thickness changes from 0.02 m to 0.1 m was also distinguished using the modeling scheme. The results confirm this modeling technique is capable of determining steel bar sizes and cover thickness, as well as simulating corrosion responses.

The objectives of this study were to evaluate a protease suitable for the enzymatic hydrolysis of a snow crab processing by-product (SPB) and to optimize the hydrolysis conditions using response surface methodology (RSM). The SPB was hydrolyzed at $50^{\circ}C$ and pH 7.0-7.2 to obtain various degree of hydrolysis (DH) using Flavourzyme at an enzyme/substrate (E/S) ratio of 3.0%. The reaction progress curve exhibited an initial fast reaction rate followed by a slowing of the rate. The DH was increased to 30% at 90 min with a final DH 32 to 36%. A central composite experimental design having three independent variables (reaction temperature, reaction time, and E/S ratio) with five levels was used to optimize the enzymatic hydrolysis conditions. Based on the DH data, the optimum reaction conditions for the enzymatic hydrolysis of the SPB were a temperature of $51.8^{\circ}C$, reaction time of 4 hr 45 min, and an E/S ratio of 3.8%. It was demonstrated that the enzymatic hydrolysate of SPB could be used as a flavoring agent or a source of precursors for the production of reaction flavors.

Although the bulk composition of materials is one of the major considerations in extractive metallurgy and environmental science, surface composition and topography control surface reactivity, and consequently play a major role in determining metallurgical phenomena and pollution by heavy metals and organics. An understanding of interaction mechanisms of different chemical species at the mineral surface in an aqueous media is very important in natural environment and metallurgical processing. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) has been used as an ex-situ analytical technique, but the material to be analyzed can be any size from $100\;{\mu}m$ up to about 1 cm. It can also measure mixed solids powders, but it is impossible to ascertain the original source of resulting x-ray signals where they were emitted from, since it radiates and scans the macro sample surface area. The study demonstrated the ability of TOF-SIMS to detect individual organic species on the surfaces of mineral particles from plant samples and showed that the TOF-SIMS techniques provides an excellent tool for establishing the surface compositions of mineral grains and relative concentrations of chemicals on mineral species.

구조용 합금 중 가장 우수한 비강도를 나타내는 마그네슘 및 마그네슘 합금은 최근 자동차, 항공, 기계 및 전자산업 등 다양한 산업분야에서 이용되고 있다. 하지만 마그네슘 합금은 반응성이 매우 커서 쉽게 부식되는 단점이 있다. 따라서 최근 내식성 향상을 위한 표면처리 기술에 대한 연구의 필요성이 증대되고 있으며, 그 중 플라즈마 전해산화법(Plasma electrolytic oxidation)은 양극산화반응을 이용하여 고내식성, 고경도의 산화피막을 금속 표면에 형성시키는 방법으로 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 탄산이온이 포함된 수용액에서 수산화나트륨의 농도가 AZ31 마그네슘 합금의 플라즈마전해산화 피막형성에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보았다. 다양한 농도의 수산화나트륨 용액에서 DC 전류를 인가하여 플라즈마전해산화 피막을 형성하였다. 탄산 이온이 포함된 수용액에서 수산화나트륨의 농도가 높아질수록 플라즈마 전해산화 피막의 형성전압은 낮아지며, 초기 피막 형성전압 상승 속도 또한 빠르게 증가하며 피막 형성전압 등락의 폭은 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.

In this study, an optimization for the emulsification process with coconut oil and sugar ester was performed in conjunction with the central composite design (CCD) model of response surface methodology (RSM). Response values for the CCD model were the viscosity of the emulsion, mean droplet size, and emulsion stability index (ESI) after 7days from the reaction. On the other hand, the emulsification time, emulsification rate, and amount of emulsifier were selected as quantitative factors. According to the result of CCD, optimum conditions for the emulsification were as follows; the emulsification time of 22.63 min, emulsification speed of 6,627.41 rpm, and amount of emulsifier of 2.29 wt.%. Under these conditions, the viscosity, mean droplet size, and emulsion stability index (ESI) after 7 days from reaction were estimated as 1,707.56 cP, 1877.05 nm, and 93.23%, respectively. The comprehensive satisfaction of the CCD was indicated as 0.8848 with an average error of $1.2{\pm}0.1%$ from the experiment compared to that of the theoretical one. Overall, a very low error rate could be obtained when the central composite model was applied to the optimized coconut oil to water emulsification.
