The effect of the migration of nanoparticles near the wall of a channel on the convective heat transfer in a laminar flow of $SiO_2$ nanoparticle suspensions (nanofluids) under constant wall heat flux boundary conditions was numerically and experimentally investigated in this study. The dynamic thermal conductivity of the aqueous $SiO_2$ nanofluids was measured using T-type thermocouples attached to the outer surface of a stainless steel circular tube (with a length of 1 m and diameter of 1.75 mm). The nanofluids used in this study were synthesized by dispersing $SiO_2$ spherical nanoparticles with a diameter of 24 nm in de-ionized water (DIW). The enhancement of the thermal conductivity of the nanofluids (e.g., an increase of up to 7.9 %) was demonstrated by comparing the temperature profiles in the flow of the nanofluids with that in the flow of the basefluids (i.e., DIW). However, this trend was not demonstrated in the computational analysis, because the numerical models were based on continuum assumptions and flow features involving nanoparticles in a stable colloidal solution. Thus, to explore the non-continuum effects, such as the modification of the morphology caused by nanoparticle-wall interactions on the heat exchanging surfaces (e.g., the isolated and dispersed precipitation of the nanoparticles), additional experiments were performed using DIW right after the measurements using the nanofluids.

효율적인 wet-end시스템의 적용으로 중성 초지시스템의 이점을 최대한 구현하고 이에 따른 초지계의 안정성 및 원가절감 등을 얻기 위해서는 중성 초지 시스템에서 사용되는 사 이즈제 및 사이징 공정에 대한 연구가 매우 중요하다. 현재 중성 사이즈제로는 AKD와 A ASA가 가장 널리 사용되고 있는데, 유럽에서는 주로 AKD가 쓰이고 있으며, 미국에서는 A ASA가 50%정도 사용되고 있다 .. AKD에 비해서 ASA는 사이즈도의 발현이 매우 빨라 사이 즈 프레스에서 사이즈도가 발현되므로 사이즈 프레스에서의 픽엽 조절 및 지절감소에 유리 한 장점을 가지고 있다. 하지만 ASA는 AKD에 비해 반웅성 높아 습부에서의 가수분해되어 초지 조업성을 악화시키는 문제점을 지니고 있다. 이러한 문제를 극복하기 위해서는 ASA 유화액의 정착성을 개선시키기 위한 연구가 시급히 요청되고 있으며 여기에는 ASA의 유화 에 사용되는 양성전분의 최적화가 가장 핵심적인 기술로 평가된다. 현재 ASA용 유화제로는 양성전분이 가장 많이 사용되고 있다. ASA 에멀션 제조에 있 어서 양성전분의 역할은 음전하를 가지고 있는 ASA 입자에 홉착되여 양전하를 부여함으로 써 콜로이드 업자의 안정성을 부여할 뿐만 아니라 섬유와의 정전기적 인력을 유도하여 정착 을 증진시키는 효과를 나타낸다. ASA 유화용으로 쓰이는 양성전분 중에서는 감자전분이 가 장 효과적인 것으로 알려져 있으며 옥수수나 타피오카 둥도 쓰이고 있다. 그러나 국내의 경 우 감자전분은 옥수수전분보다 가격이 비싸다는 단점이 있으므로 저렴한 옥수수 전분을 이 용하여 ASA 유화용 변성전분의 개발이 국내 제지산업의 경쟁력 강화를 위해 시급히 요망 되고 있다. 본 연구의 목표는 옥수수 전분을 이용한 ASA용 유화안정제를 개발하고 그 효과를 극대 화시킬 수 있는 적용기술을 확립하는데 있다. 옥수수전분을 이용한 ASA 유화용 변성전분은 외국에서 소개된 바가 있기는 하지만 사이즈도 발현이 감자전분의 절반 수준으로 효과적이 지 못한 것이 문제점으로 지적된 바 있다. A ASA 유화용 전분으로는 감자전분과 옥수수전분으로 제조된 외국산 기존 제품과 본 연 구를 통해 개발된 옥수수 전분을 이용하였다. 먼저 실험실적으로 최적의 ASA 에멸션의 유 화가 가능하도록 유화조건을 설정하여 유화액의 입도가 1µm 정도가 되도록 하였다. 이들 A ASA 사이즈제를 Hw. Sw-BKP로 조성된 지료에 투입하여 수초한 후 Hercules 사이즈도 측정기를 이용하여 수초지의 사이즈도를 측정하였다. 또 사이정 효과를 극대화시키기 위한 방안을 모색하기 위해 ASA 에말션의 입도, 제타전위, 탁도 등의 평가를 병행 실시하였다. 실험 결과 기존의 방법으로 유화한 경우 수입감자양성전분이 가장 높은 사이즈도를 보였 다. 그러나, 적절한 전분변성법과 유화조건을 개선함으로써 옥수수전분을 이용하여 수입 감 자전분이나 수입 옥수수전분보다 더 우수한 ASA 사이정 효과를 나타내는 양성전분이 개발 될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

When considering the long-term safety assessment of spent-nuclear fuel management, americium is one of the most radio-toxic actinides. Although spectroscopic methods are widely used for the study of actinide chemistry, application of those methods to americium chemistry has been limited. Herein, we purified $^{241}Am$ to obtain a highly pure stock solution required for spectroscopic studies. Quantitative and qualitative analyses of purified $^{241}Am$ were carried out using liquid scintillation counting, and gamma and alpha radiation spectrometry. Highly sensitive absorption spectrometry coupled with a liquid waveguide capillary cell and time-resolved laser fluorescence spectroscopy were employed for the study of Am(III) hydrolysis and oxalate (Ox) complexation. $Am^{3+}$ ions under acidic conditions exhibit maximum absorbance at 503 nm, with a molar absorption coefficient of $424{\pm}8cm^{-1}{\cdot}M^{-1}$. $Am(OH)_3(s)$ colloidal particles formed under near neutral pH conditions were identified by monitoring the absorbance at around 506-507 nm. The formation of ${Am(Ox)_3}^{3-}$ was detected by red-shifts of the absorption and luminescence spectra of 4 and 5 nm, respectively. In addition, considerable enhancements of the luminescence intensities were observed. The luminescence lifetime of ${Am(Ox)_3}^{3-}$ increased from 23 to 56 ns, which indicates that approximately six water molecules are replaced by carboxylate ligands in the inner-sphere of the Am(III). These results suggest that ${Am(Ox)_3}^{3-}$ is formed through the bidentate coordination of the oxalate ligands.

This study suggests the effective recycling method of sludge waste from various industrial fields to synthesize uniform colloidal silica nanoparticles. In detail, polymers are removed from the sludge waste to attain sludge-extracted silica (s-SiO₂) micron-sized particles, and ammonia assisted sonication is applied to s-SiO₂, which has effectively extracted the silanol precursor. The nano-sized silica (n-SiO₂) particles are successfully synthesized by a typical sol-gel method using silanol precursor. Also, the yield amounts of n-SiO₂ are determined by the function of s-SiO₂ etching time. Finally, n-SiO₂-based slurry is synthesized for the practical CMP application. As a result, rough-surfaced semiconductor chip is successfully polished by the n-SiO₂-based slurry to exhibit the mirror-like clean surface. In this regard, sludge wastes are successfully prepared as valuable semicondutor grade materials.

The analysis of engineering data using neural network based on supervised learning has been utilized in various engineering fields such as optimization of chemical engineering process, concentration prediction of particulate matter pollution, prediction of thermodynamic phase equilibria, and prediction of physical properties for transport phenomena system. The supervised learning requires training data, and the performance of the supervised learning is affected by the composition and the configurations of the given training data. Among the frequently observed engineering data, the data is given in log-scale such as length of DNA, concentration of analytes, etc. In this study, for widely distributed log-scaled training data of virtual 100×100 images, available loss functions were quantitatively evaluated in terms of (i) confusion matrix, (ii) maximum relative error and (iii) mean relative error. As a result, the loss functions of mean-absolute-percentage-error and mean-squared-logarithmic-error were the optimal functions for the log-scaled training data. Furthermore, we figured out that uniformly selected training data lead to the best prediction performance. The optimal loss functions and method for how to compose training data studied in this work would be applied to engineering problems such as evaluating DNA length, analyzing biomolecules, predicting concentration of colloidal suspension.

Nano core shell structures of $TiO_2$ particles coated on surface of ZnO nanoparticles were prepared by the polymerized complex and sol-gel method. The average particle size of ZnO by the polymerized complex method showed 100 nm and the average particle size of $TiO_2$ by the sol-gel method showed below 10 nm. The average particle size of $ZnO@TiO_2$ nano core shell struture represented about 150 nm. The agglomeration between the ZnO particles using the polymerized complex method was highly controlled by the uniform absorption of $TiO_2$ colloid on the spherical ZnO surfaces. The driving force of heterogeneous bonding between ZnO and $TiO_2$ was induced by the Coulomb force. The ZnO and $TiO_2$ particles electrified with + and - charges, respectively, resulted in strong bonding by the difference of iso-electric point (IEP) when they laid neutrality pH area, depending on the heterogeneous surface electron electrified by the different zeta potential on the pH values.

To investigate the effects of sodium alginate, gum karaya and gum arabic on the foaming properties of sodium caseinate, surface tension, specific viscosity, turbidity, foaming ability and foam stability of the caseinate solution with added gums were examined. Surface tensions of the 5%(w/v) protein solutions containing gums at pH 7.0 and 8.0 were $43.7{\sim}44.7dyne/cm$ and $43.6{\sim}44.0 dyne/cm$, respectively. Specific viscosities of the solutions with 0.2 and 0.3% sodium alginates were 15.6 and 39.1 at pH 7.0 (control, 2.8), and 12.1 and 8.2 at pH 8.0 (control, 2.6), respectively. Turbidities were $69.5{\sim}74.0$ at pH 7.0 and $68.0{\sim}72.5$ at pH 8.0. The optimum conditions for foaming ability of the solutions were 0.1% conc. and 15 min whipping in addition of sodium alginates; 0.2% conc. and 20 min whipping in gum karaya; 0.1% conc. and 10 min whipping in gum arabic. For foam stability optimal concentrations were 0.3% in sodium alginate and gum karaya at pH 7.0 and 0.2% at pH 8.0. Addition of sodium alginates was most effective to increase foam stability of the solution, but was not effective to increase foaming ability. At same pH, surface tensions and turbidity of the solutions were related to foaming ability and specific viscosities were related to foam stability.

The effects of amylopectin and hydrocolloid (locust bean gum and guar gum) content on wheat flour dough and noodle properties were investigated. As the amount of amylopectin increased, the water absorption rate (farinograph), the tension (tension test), the gel stability (freeze-thawing treatment), and the springiness and the cohesiveness (TPA) increased, but the pasting temperature (RVA), the lightness and yellowness (color measurement), and the hardness (TPA) tended to decrease. In sensory evaluations, the scores for cohesiveness, springiness, and acceptability of cooked noodle increased as the proportion of amylopectin increased. The proper combination of amylose/amylopectin ratio and hydrocolloids improved the freeze-thaw stability and the sensory acceptability of wheat flour dough and noodle.

In order to obtain an imformation on the exchangeable potassium and it's activity ratio to other cations in wet paddy top soil grown by rice, soil samples were taken from bottomless middle size (60cm in dia, and height, respectively) round concrete pot being car ride out with an experiment on the split application of potassium in relation to lime and analysed. The pot experiment was being conducted from 1974 at a farm of the City University of Seoul and the wet soil samples were taken from the paddy in the year of 1976. The samples were extracted with $0.1N-AlCl_3$ solution and analysed regarding the elements. Results obtained are as follows : 1. Less exchangeable potassium was extracted from the soils limed than those unlimed when the same amount of potassium was applied immediatly after flooding. However, when the Potassium was applied two weeks after flooding, the reverse was observed. The fact that the exchangeable potassium is increased in the case that potassium fertilizer applied two weeks after flooding explained as due either to the prohibiting effect of iron or less abserption of potassium by the crop. 2. A remarkable decrease of exchangeable potassium of soils was observed during the vigorous growth stage of rice. 3. The activity ratio of $\frac{K}{(Fe^{{+}{+}}){\frac{1}{2}}}$ was remarkabley low after July 16th at which the soil was considerably reduced. 4. The activity ratio $\frac{K^+}{NH^+}$ of limed soil lasted highly until July 16th. It may be resulted from slow progress of ammonification caused by high pH. 5. A positive correlation was found between $Fe^{{+}{+}}$ and $Ca^{{+}{+}}$ under reduced condition. But there was no correlation between $Fe^{{+}{+}}$ and $K^+$ or $NH^+_4$, because that the concentrations of $K^+$ and $NH^+_4$ in soil fluctuates during growing season.

Purpose: For clinical application of beta-emitter labeled antibody, high specific activity is imporiant. Carrier-free $^{188}Re$ from $^{188}W/^{188}Re$ generator is an ideal radionuclide for this purpose. However, low stability of $^{188}Re$ labeled antibody, especially in high specific activity, due to radiolytic decomposition by high energy (2.1 MeV) beta ray was problem. We studied the stability of $^{188}Re$ labeled antibody, and stabilizing effect of several stabilizers. Materials and Methods: Pre-reduced monoclonal antibody (CEA79.4) was labeled with $^{188}Re$ by incubating with generator-eluted $^{188}Re-perrhenate$ in the presence of stannous tartrate for 2 hr at room temperature. Radiochemical purity of each preparation was determined by chromatography. Human serum albumin was added to the labeled antibodies (2%). Stability of $^{188}Re-CEA79.4$ was investigated in the presence of ascorbic acid, ethanol, of Tween 80 as stabilizing agents. Results: Labeling efficiencies were $88{\pm}4%\;(n=12)$. Specific activities of $1.25{\sim}4.77MBq/{\mu}g$ were obtained. If stored after purging with $N_2$, all the preparations were stable for 10 hr. However, stability decreased in the presence of air. Perrhenate and $^{188}Re-tartrate$ was major impurity in declined preparation. colloid-formation was not a significant problem in all cases. Addition of ascorbic acid stabilized the labeled antibodies either under $N_2$ or under air by reducing the formation of perrhenate. Conclusion: High specific activity $^{188}Re$ labeled antibody is unstable, especially, in the presence of oxygen. Addition of ascorbic acid increased the stability.
