There is considerable interest in developing energy sources capable of larger power densities. In our previous works, we proved that by coupling an exothermic chemical reaction with 1D nanostructures, a self-propagating reactive wave can be driven along its length with a concomitant electrical pulse of high specific power, which we identified as a thermopower wave. Herein, we discuss details about many different aspects of a thermopower wave. Different alignment degree in vertically aligned CNT films is evaluated in the reactive wave speed and correlated with its thermal reaction that affects the change in the magnitude of energy generation. The effects of the temperature-dependent properties of chemical fuels and CNTs are evaluated. Furthermore, we explore the convection and radiation portions in this thermal wave as well as the synchronization between the thermal reaction transfer and the oscillation of the electrical signal.

This study is an examination of knowledge-based society's impact on knowledge, it's functions, and it's types in fields of humanities an social sciences. Knowledge-based society does not invalidate the definitive mechanism underpinning social coexistence today, but the importance of knowledge will increase greatly whereas the importance of the productive resources labor and capital will diminish. Therefore, knowledge-based society demands that we enter at this time into a discussion that takes new approaches to the knowledge. This study provides a doorway to a discussion of topics such as : Anticipating and characterizing the knowledge-based society, spectrum of fields of new types of knowledge for which typical differences can be ascertained, the interlinking of various disciplines in the respective field of knowledge, the new roles and types of knowledge in the fields of humanities and social sciences.

The effect of ${\beta}$-glucan, prepared from waxy barley, on the dynamic viscoelasticity of nonwaxy and waxy barley starch during gelatinization and gelation was studied. Although no significant effect was observed on waxy starch, there were drastic changes in the dynamic viscoelasticity of nonwaxy starch. The gelatinization onset temperature of nonwaxy starch shifted to a higher temperature and showed a drastic increase in storage modulus and loss modulus at the range of $80{\sim}90^{\circ}C$. During the gelation of nonwaxy starch, ${\beta}$-glucan increased the rate of gel formation and weakened the network of starch and amylose by prohibiting their association. Therefore, we proved that there was no specific interaction between amylose and ${\beta}$-glucan. The addition of ${\beta}$-glucan to waxy starch seemed to have no effect of waxy starch.

Photodegradation rate of flupyrazofos in aqueous solution were measured under various test conditions mainly following the guidelines of U.S. EPA and OECD. It was observed that the flupyrazofos was degraded by simple hydrolysis but not degraded by light in pure water. Using acetone as a known photosensitizer, the minimal concentration of acetone needed to photo-degrade the flupyrazofos in % and molar terms were 0.047% and 0.006, respectively. When treated with acetone, it was also found that the ringlet oxygen is a very effective photo oxidant in the degradation of flupyrazofos, but the effect of hydroxyl radical was not observed at the treatment level of hydroxyl radical, isopropylbenzene. In an actinometer experiment, quantum yield of flupyrazofos (0.4 ppm with 2% acetone) was $17.66{\times}10^{-5}$ and degradation rate and half-life were 0.038/hr and 18.2 hours, respectively.

캘린더령은 지펼의 표면을 평활하게 하고, 두께를 감소시켜 균일하게 하는 역할을 한다. 그러나 이는 필연적으로 불투명도와 같은 광학적 성질과 인장강도 등의 강도적 성질 의 저하를 유발한다. 따라서 캘린더링 공정변수인 온도, 압력, 속도 등이 종이의 물성에 미 치는 영향을 정확하게 파악하는 것은 캘린더령에 따라 발생할 수 있는 물성 저하를 최소화 하기 위해 필수적으로 요청된다. 본 연구에서는 최근들어 저평량화에 대한 관심이 증가하면 서 그 중요성이 더해지고 있는 불투명도가 캘린더링에 따라 변화되는 양상을 분석하기 위해 서 화상분석 기법을 이용하여 종이의 두께방향 밀도 변이를 평가하고 밀도변이와 불투명도 와의 상관관계를 해석코자 하였다. 또 캘린더링에 따른 불투명도를 저하를 최소화시키기 위 한 캘린더링 조건을 모색하였다. 캘린더링에 의해 발생하는 종이의 두께 변형은 두께방향의 위치에 따라 다르게 나 타난다. 이러한 종이의 두께 방향으로 발생하는 밀도 변이와 이에 따른 불투명도 변화를 평 가하기 위하여 동일한 평량의 종이를 캘린더령 조건을 달리하여 두께방향 밀도변이가 다른 시편을 준비하고 두께 방향 단면을 SEM으로 촬영하였다. 이후 화상분석기를 통해 단면을 이치화하고, 각 픽셀의 흑백 값을 구해 CD방향으로 평균을 내어 두께 방향에 대한 밀도 변 이를 평가하였다. 그 결과 압력보다는 온도를 높여 캘린더링한 경우 종이의 두께 방향 밀도 경사가 커진다는 사실을 확인할 수 있었다. 이는 고온에 의해 표층이 고밀화되고 상대적으 로 내부가 별크해졌기 때문이다. 이러한 밀도 변이가 종이의 광학적 성질인 불투명도에 미 치는 영향을 구명하기 위해서 캘린더링 전후에 두께 및 불투명도를 측정하여 5% 유의수준 에서 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 밀도경사를 지닌 종이의 불투명도를 이론적으로 해석하기 위해 다층 모델을 가정하 고 각 층의 비광산란계수(5)와 비광흡수계수(k)를 달리 부여하고 Kubelka-Munk 이론을 근 거로 하여 이론적 불투명도를 계산하였다. 불투명도에 대한 분석를 통해 동일한 두께 변형 을 가지는 샘플에 대해서 압력보다는 온도를 증가시켜 두께를 감소시키는 캘린더링 처리가 불투명도의 저하를 최소화한다는 것을 확인하였다.

This study investigates the characteristics of thermal decomposition of an epoxy-based intumescent paint using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and numerical simulation. A mathematical and numerical model is introduced to describe mass loss profiles of the epoxy-based intumescent coating induced by the thermal decomposition process. The decomposition scheme covers a range of complexity by employing simplified 4-step sequential reactions to describe the simultaneous thermal decomposition processes. The reaction rates are expressed by the Arrhenius law, and reaction parameters are optimized to fit the degradation behavior seen during thermogravimetric (TG) experiments. The experimental results show a major 2-step degradation under nitrogen and a 3-step degradation in an air environment. The experiment also shows that oxygen takes part in the stabilization of the intumescent coating between 200 and $500^{\circ}C$. The simulation results show that the proposed model effectively predicts the experimental mass loss as a function of time except for temperatures above $800^{\circ}C$, which were intentionally not included in the model. The maximum error in the simulation was less than 3%.

This paper presents the fabrication of a micro electromagnetic flow sensor for the liquid flow rate measurement. The micro electromagnetic flow sensor has some advantages such as a simple structure, no heat generation, a rapid response and no pressure loss. The principle of the micro electromagnetic flow sensor is based on Faraday's law. If conductive fluid passes through a magnetic field, the electromotive force is generated and detected by two electrodes on the wall of the flow channel. The flow sensor consists of two permanent magnets and a silicon flow channel with two electrodes. The dimension of the flow sensor is $9\;mm\;{\times}\;9\;mm\;{\times}\;1\;mm$. The micro flow channel is mainly fabricated by anisotropic etching of two silicon wafers, and the detection electrodes are fabricated by metal evaporation process. The characteristic of the fabricated flow sensor is obtained experimentally. When the flow rates of water with the conductance of $100-200\;{\mu}S/cm$ are 9.1 ml/min and 62 ml/min, the generated electromotive forces are $261\;{\mu}V$ and 7.3 mV, respectively.

The stability of omeprazole in the aqueous solutions containing loxoprofen or Sodium bicarbonate was examined at room temperature. Loxoprofen or Sodium bicarbonate (60 mg) was added to omeprazole (600 ${\mu}g$/ml) solution to check the stability profile. Then, the solution was kept at room temperature for 80 hours. The concentration was assayed at each concentration by stability-indicating High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method. Aliquots of the solution were withdrawn at specified time intervals and assayed by chromatographic analysis for intact omeprazole. The relation between omeprazole concentration and peak area was linear from 5 to 160 ${\mu}g$/ml. The analysis method was precise with relative standard deviation (% RSD) no greater than 3.05 %. The remaining percentage-time curves revealed that omeprazole was degraded rapidly as functions of time and temperature following pseudo first-order kinetics. In conclusion, the stability of omeprazole was significantly affected by liquid solutions mixed with alkalizer (Sodium carbonate) or the NSAIDs (loxoprofen).

Synthetic seismograms and deduced characteristic properties of the non-geometrical $S^*$ and $P^*$ waves are presented. These waves are excited on the free surface or an interface between two different media by an inhomogeneous P wave from a point source nearby, and propagate as homogeneous waves in the media. Synthetic seismograms are computed using an extended reflectivity method designed for buried source and receiver. An efficient computational procedure for propagator matrices of layers is devised to reduce the computational time and the RAM memory size in the implementation of the reflectivity method. Radiation patterns are obtained from the particle motions of the four types of the "*" waves, i.e., the $S^*$ wave generated near the free surface, and the reflected $S^*$, transmitted $S^*$ and transmitted $P^*$ waves generated near an interface. Some patterns show polarity changes of displacements and others reveal monotonic or non-monotonic variation of amplitude depending on the velocity structure. The decaying trend of amplitude with increasing epicentral distance are also shown for the head wave type of the "*" waves.

The dechlorination of endosulfan (6,7,8,9,10,10-hexachloro-1,5,5a,6,9,9a-hexahydro-6,9-methano-2,4,3-benzodioxathiepine-3-oxide) and its metabolite, endosulfan sulfate via reaction with zerovalent iron under various pH conditions was studied using aqueous solution. The reaction products, which were probably produced from endosulfan and endosulfan sulfate by ZVI were identified by GC-MS. The lower the pH of reaction solution, the higher the transformation rate of endosulfan and endosulfan sulfate. The transformation rates of endosulfan and endosulfan sulfate in pH 3.0 by ZVI were 28% and 90% but those of endosulfan and endosulfan sulfate in mixture solution of water/acetone were 65% and 92%, respectively. The pH of reaction solution after ZVI treatment was increased to pH 10. Endosulfan was hydrolyzed at pH 10 but endosulfan sulfate was not hydrolyzed. Two unknown peaks were produced from endosulfan sulfate by treatment of ZVI. As a result of GC-MS analysis, unknown peaks were guessed to be structural isomer substituted hydrogen for chlorine.
