The surface film, which is formed on graphite negative electrodes during the initial charging, is a key component in lithium secondary batteries. The battery reactions are strongly affected by the nature of the surface film. It is thus very important to understand the physicochemical properties of the surface film. On the other hand, the surface film formation is a very complicated interfacial phenomenon occurring at the graphite/electrolyte interface. In studies on electrode surfaces in lithium secondary batteries, in-situ experimental techniques are very important because the surface film is highly reactive and unstable in the air. In this respect electrochemical atomic force microscopy (ECAFM) is a useful tool for direct visualizing electrode/solution interfaces at which various electrochemical reactions occur under potential control. In the present review, mechanism of surface film formation and its correlation with electrolyte are summarized on the basis of in-situ ECAFM studies for understanding of the nature of the surface film on graphite negative electrodes.

The objective of this study was to analyze the effects of homogenization, storage temperature, and storage period on the creaming of milk fat and changes in fat contents in the upper and lower layers and to predict the conditions for optimal homogenization efficiency using response surface methodology (RSM). The homogenization pressure, storage temperature, and storage period were set as independent variables of RSM, and the dependent variables were creaming, US Public Health Service (USPHS) code, and volume weighted mean diameter ($D_{4,3}$) in the upper and lower layers. Based on the results of RSM and regression analysis, the correlation coefficient ($R^2$) between experimental data and predicted values by RSM for homogenized milk was estimated to be more than 0.8. The RSM analysis indicated that optimal homogenization pressures of 14 MPa or more and 17 MPa or more were required to maintain the creaming layer of 3 mm or less during the storage for 15 days at $10^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$, respectively. To keep the USPHS code at less than 10% for 15 days at $10^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$, milk should be homogenized with a pressure of 16.8 MPa or more and 17 MPa or more, respectively.

A plasma surface modification of powders has been carried out in a circulating fluidized bed reactor under reduced pressure. Polystyrene (PS) particles treated by plasma are grafted with polyethylene glycol (PEG) on the surface. The virgin, plasma-treated and grafted powders were characterized by DPPH method, FTIR, SEM and contact angle meter. The plasma-treated PS powders have well formed peroxide on the surface, By PEG grafting polymerization, PEG is well grafted and dispersed on the surface of the plasma-treated PS powders. The PEG-g-PS particle was successfully synthesized using the plasma circulating fluidized bed reactor under reduced pressure.

Optimal conditions for preparing of chitooligosaccharides from chitosan with cellulase was researched by response surface methodo-logy, Penicillium funiculosum derived cellulase was most effective for chitooligosaccharides production as the point of hydrolyzing activity and commercial utility. The result which measures the change of degrading ratio at time course, 10 hr reaction showed a exponential increase and after that time degrading ratio was not changed. The optimal conditions determined by response surface methodology with central composite design of total 26 species were $0.5\%$ of chitosan, 143 U enzyme, 49$^{\circ}C$ of reaction temperature, 13.2 hr of reaction time and pH 3.8. Major chitooligosaccharides produced from chitiosan on optimal conditions were dimer and trimer.

The small composite design for second order response surface might be appropriate when experimentation is expensive, difficult, or time-consuming, especially when an independent estimate of experimental error is available. It is important that the small composite designs for response surface analysis would be rotatable and slope-rotatable. Therefore the small composite designs are studied from the viewpoint of rotatability and slope-rotatability, and the optimal values of a(the distance of axial points from the center) are investigated as k(the number of independent variables) and $n_0$(the number of center points) are changed.

When fuzzy logic controllers which are designed based on plant models and intuitive base are applied to real plants, the control systems may not give satisfactory control results due to the modeling error and the lack of knowledge on the plants. In that case. the controller must be retuned by adjusting the control parameters; this retuning process may require a large number of trial-and-error evaluations and thus much time and cost. In order to resolve these problems, we propose a systematic and efficient procedure for designing a fuzzy logic controller using response surface methodology. First wc select the initial optimal conditions of control parameters using a genetic algorithm, in which a nominal plant model with intrinsic modeling errors is used. And then we determine the tinal optimal conditions of the control parameters using response surface methodology. Computer simulations are performed to verify the capability of the proposed method.

음극방식은 피방식체를 일정 전위로 음극분극 하는 원리로써 외부전원을 인가하거나 비전위의 금속을 희생양극으로 연결하여 방식하는 방법이다. 해수 중에서 음극방식을 실시할 경우 음극 표면에 용존산소 환원반응과 수소발생반응이 일어나 $OH^-$ 이온이 발생하게 된다. 이러한 반응에 의해 생성되는 석회질 피막 (Calcareous deposit)은 강구조물의 부식방지를 위한 물리적인 방호벽 역할을 하면서 용존산소의 확산 및 이동을 억제하며, 전류밀도를 감소시킨다. Potentiostat 및 rectifier를 이용하여 정전위 및 정전류 조건에서 형성된 석회질 피막을 SEM, EDS, XRD를 통해 분석하고 이를 바탕으로 양극의 종류(Al, Zn) 및 1, 5, $10mA/m^2$의 전류밀도 조건에서 실제 강관에 형성된 석회질 피막의 메커니즘을 해명하였다. 또한 석회질 피막 형성 시 Steel Wire Mesh를 설치하여 그 영향에 대해서도 분석하였다. 석회질 피막의 내구성은 침지-자연전위 및 밀착성 테스트를 통해 평가되었다.

In this study, furfural, which is one of the value-added chemicals, was produced from the hydrolyzate of Quercus mongolica using dilute acid pretreatment, and the optimal pretreatment condition was determined by Response Surface Methodology (RSM) to obtain high yield of furfural. Based on Central Composite Design, the pretreatment experiment was designed with parameters such as reaction temperature ($X_1$), acid concentration ($X_2$), and reaction time ($X_3$) as independent variables, while dependent variable was furfural concentration (Y), and furfural yield (Z) was shown as percentage of Y per a dry weight basis. According to results of RSM, it was confirmed that reaction temperature ($X_1$) was the most influence factor and reaction temperature ($X_1$)-acid concentration ($X_2$) was the most significant interaction factor on furfural yield. Also, the optimal condition for the highest furfural yield was predicted at reaction temperature of $184^{\circ}C$, acid concentration of 1.17%, and reaction time of 5 min by RSM, and expected maximum yield of furfural was 6.37%. Experimentally, the maximum yield of furfural produced at above optimal condition was 6.21%, and it was considerably similar with the predicted value, and therefore the model for furfural production from the hydrolyzate of Quercus mongolica during dilute acid pretreatment could be built using RSM.
