Weight loss that influences quality and farmer incomes is affected by the storage environment of agricultural products. The interior of storage should be maintained at high humidity to prevent the weight loss of products which contain a lot of moisture. The research had constantly proceeded with change in the heat exchanger surface areas, humidity systems, and weight loss forecast to maintain high humidity within storage. Relative humidity that exerts an effect weight loss of crop is influenced by storage temperature, leak state, and volume of product. When weight loss is predicted, different conditions of these factors are derived. In case of CA storage, ways of forecasting the weight loss become easier compared to cold storage due to sealed storage with external environment during storage period. In this study, apples were stored in purge-type CA storage and weight loss has been predicted by using operating characteristics and environmental conditions. As a result, humidity variation in the storage fluctuates with the operation of the unit-cooler. Furthermore, unit-cooler operation factor is influenced by outside temperature and respiration heat. Prediction value of weight loss according to temperature and humidity has been most accurately predicted. Prediction value through defrosting water measured shows unit-cooler work quality. K-value needs verification to calculate the VPD method.

For the first step on the quantitative evaluation of shrinkage reduction and differential shrinkage analysis of lightweight aggregate concrete, this study sets the moisture transport model of concrete by pre-absorbed water of porous lightweight aggregates and measured effective moisture diffusion coefficient, moisture capacity, degree of humidity supply and degree of humidity consumption by water binder ratio and aggregate type. The effective moisture diffusion coefficient in steady state caused by humidity difference between inside and outside of concrete had low value as low water-binder ratio. And in case of same water-binder ratio, effective moisture diffusion of mixtures used normal aggregates were lower than those used lightweight aggregates. To determine moisture store capability of concrete - moisture capacity, moisture contents were measured in 9 humidity conditions. As a result moisture contents of mixtures used lightweight aggregates was higher than mixtures used normal aggregates in all humidity conditions. This study measured lightweight aggregates' degree of humidity supply that applicable to normal atmospheric environment (above RH 50%) and made it quantitatively. Also amount of moisture release was set as a exponential function that represents a clear trend proportion to time and inverse proportion to humidity of the surroundings. As the result of measurement about degree of moisture consumption inside concrete following the internal consumption caused by cement hydration self-drying, it was showed that rapid decrease of humidity, around 10%, at early ages (7~10 days) when water-binder ratio is 0.3 and slow decrease around 5% and 1% when water-binder ratio is 0.4 and 0.5.

The rate constants of the derivatives of N-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)-benzimidoyl chloride were determined at various pH and a rate equation which can be applied over wide pH range was obtained. The reaction mechanism of hydrolysis of N-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)-benzimidoyl chloride which has not been studied carefully earlier in acidic and basic solution can be fullly explained by the rate equation obtained. The rate equation reveals that, beow pH 7.00, the hydrolysis of benzimidoyl chloride proceeds through $S_N2$ reaction to form a carbonium ion intermediate.Above pH 8.5, however, the hydrolysis proceeds through the $S_N2$ type reaction which depends on hydroxide ion and imidoyl chloride concentration. At pH 7.0∼8.5, two reactions occur competitively.

Wagnerite ($Mg_2PO_4F)$ was successfully synthesized in a sealed platinum tube and the complete substitutions of $Co^{++}, Ni^{++}, Cu^{++} \;and\;Zn^{++}$for Mg were made in the wagnerite structure. Wagnerite did not decompose until it reached its melting temperature. It was observed that wagnerite underwent only one inversion at $1255^{\circ}C$, prior to melting at $1340^{\circ}C$. The lattice parameters of wagnerites were linearly increased by the substitutions of $Co^{++}$ and $Zn^{++}$ and decreased by the substitutions of $Ni^{++}$ and $Cu^{++}$. The substitutions of wagnerite with $Co^{++}, Ni^{++}$ and $Cu^{++}$ resulted in purple, orange and green colors, respectively, The colors of pigments became more intense and suitable for coloring of glazes and plastics as the amount of metal ions increased.

Application of power higher than the optimum operation value to an external electrode fluorescent lamps(EEFL) leads to the formation of small holes, called pinholes, which subsequently leads to lamp failure. The pinholes come from the insulating breakdown of the capacitor which is the dielectric layer between an external electrode and glass tube. The power of insulation breakdown is proportional to the electric power applied to the lamp. When a lamp current is low in the glass tube of dielectric constant K, the dielectric field strength of pinholes is about 3K kV/mm. The field strength of insulation breakdown decreases as the lamp current increases.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive video watermarking method using human visual system(HVS) and characteristics of three-dimensional cosine transform (3D-DCT) cubes. We classify 3D-DCT cubes into three patterns according to the distribution of coefficients in the 3D-DCT cube: cube with motion and textures, cube with high textures and little motion, and cube with little textures and line motion. Images are also classified into three types according to the ratio of these patterns: images with motion and textures, images with high textures and little motion, and images with little textures and little motion. The proposed watermarking method adaptivelyinserts the watermark on the coefficients of the mid-range in the 3D-DCT cube using the appropriately learned sensitivity table and the proportional constants depending on the patterns of 3D-DCT cubes and types of images. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves better performance in terms of invisibility and robustness than the previous method.

An analysis of thermal degradation of epoxy based adhesive performed by thermogravimetry tests are presented in this study. Six different heating rates were employed for the weight change measurements. Based on the data, an Arrhenius type modeling equation was developed by calculating activation energies and proportional constants, and $n^{th}$ polynomial function was adopted to predict the weight change rates. The prediction results by the modeling was compared with the data using the average activation energy. It was found that the activation energy at the each heating rate was not same due to the different degradation kinetics, especially at the high heating rate. To overcome this pitfall, a new approach using exponential function series was introduced and employed. The calculation results showed very good agreements with the test data regardless of the heating rates.

Barium Titanate (BT) powders were synthesized by solvothermal method with an ethanol as a solvent. The average particle size was increased with the feedstock concentration: the size was 59 nm at $6.25{\times}10^{-2}$ M and 89 nm at 0.5 M. The sample obtained at 0.5 M concentration was analysed by Rietveld refinement and the mole fraction of tetragonal phase was $75.5\%$ and lattice parameter of tetragonal phase was a=0.3999 (nm), c=0.4032 (nm), and cubic phase was a=0.4015 (nm). TEM analysis for the samples with condition of annealing at $500^{\circ}C$ for I h showed that hydroxyl ions on oxygen sites were not found for these experimental conditions.

The $Bi_{12}(Si,Ge)O_{20}$ single crystals were prepared by Czochralski method and the study of electrical and optical properties were carried out. The activation energy of the electrical conductivity was $E_g$=1.12 eV. The optical energy gap measured in the room temperature is found to be 2.3 eV. A.c. conductivity of crystal $Bi_{12}(Si,Ge)O_{20}$ was measured at temperatures from 290 K to 570 K in the frequency range from 50 kHz to 30 MHz. The a.c. conductivity is proportional to ${\omega}^s$. In view of this it should be hopping conduction mechanisms. At high frequencies, the power exponent was s=2. The low frequency dielectric constants were 54 for $Bi_{12}(Si,Ge)O_{20}$ and 41 for $Bi_{12}(Si,Ge)O_{20}$ single crystals.

In the guaranteed service, a real-time scheduling algorithm must achieve both high level of network utilization and scalable implementation. Here, network utilization indicates the number of admitted real-time sessions. Unfortunately, existing scheduling algorithms either are lack of scalable implementation or can achieve low network utilization. For example, scheduling algorithms based on time-stamps have the problem of O(log N) scheduling complexity where N is the number of sessions. On the contrary, round-robin algorithms require O(1) complexity. but can achieve just a low level of network utilization. In this paper, we propose a scheduling algorithm that can achieve high network utilization without losing scalability. The proposed algorithm is a Hierarchical Round-Robin (H-RR) algorithm that utilizes multiple rounds with different interval sizes. It provides latency bounds similar to those by Packet-by-Packet Generalized Processor Sharing (PGPS) algorithm using a sorted-Priority queue. However, H-RR requires a constant time for implementation.
