Finite mixtures of regression models provide an effective tool to explore a hidden functional relationship between a response variable and covariates. However, it is common in practice that data are not fully observed due to several reasons. In this paper, we derived an expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm to obtain the maximum likelihood estimator when some covariates are missing at random in the finite mixture of regression models. We conduct some simulation studies and we also provide some real data examples to show the validity of the derived EM algorithm.

This paper describes the effect of canola biodiesel blended fuel on the combustion and emission characteristics in a four cylinder CRDI(Common-rail direct injection) diesel engine. In this study, using the biodiesel fuel(20%,40% of biodiesel-canola oil and 80%, 60% of ULSD(ultra low sulfur diesel) by volume ratio with change of engine speed and injection pressure. The experiment results of increasing biodiesel ratio fuel show that NOx emissions increased. However, soot emission were reduced BC fuels compared to ULSD. Soot emissions largely increased at low injection pressure.

방사성농축폐액처리를 위한 Polymer-Modified-portlandcement 고화체는 Polymer 및 시멘트, 물을 혼합매질로 제조되며 농축폐액처리를 위해 Emulsion Polymer를 사용하였으며 PMC 고화체의 물성을 평가하기위한 고화체의 제조에서 이들 매질의 최적혼합비를 찾기 위해 Polymer 및 물, 시멘트의 혼합비를 1/1/2,1/2/4,1/3/9 등 혼합비에 따른 시편 및 Polymer 첨가량의 증가에 따라 함유비를 달리하는 시편을 제조하여 경화시간별 압축강도를 측정하였으며 매질의 최적혼합비 및 폴리머의 투입비를 구하고자하였다. 특성평가시험을 위한 시편으로는 직경 50, 높이 100mm(L/D=2) 인시편을 제조하여 압축강도를 측정하였으며 폴리머와 시멘트의 결합상태를 확인하기위해 SEM사진을 통한 미세구조를 관찰하였으며 시험결과 P/W/C의비가 1/3/9인 혼합비시편의 압축강도가 $343.36Kg_f/cm^2$로 가장 높았으며 폴리머의 함유량을 달리한 시험에서는 7%폴리머 함유시편은 $397.24Kg_f/cm^2$, 20% 폴리머함유시편은 $175.36Kg_f/cm^2$으로 폴리머의 함유량이 7~15% 이내의 폴리머함유고화체가 적합한 것으로 판단되었으며 폴리머의 투입양이 증가할수록 압축강도가 감소하였으며 경화시간도 최소4주이상 되어야하는 것으로 판단되었다.

This research was conducted to determine physical properties of four root media, peatmoss + vermiculite (1:1, v/v; PV), peatmoss + composted rice hall (1:1, PR), peatmoss + composted saw-dust (1:1 : PS) and peatmoss + composted pine bark (1:1 PB), as influenced by incorporation rate of Stock-sorb C (STSB). Each root medium containing STSB was packed in 22 cm diameter plastic pot and the physical properties were determined at 5 weeks after packing. As incorporation rate of STSB were elevated, total porosity increased in PV, PS and PB media with statistical differences at $5{\%}$ level. Those also resulted in increase of container capacity in PS and PB media, but statistical differences were not observed in PV and PR media. Elevated incorporation rate of STSB in PV, PS and PB media resulted in increase of air space with statistical differences. Trends in air space of the three root media showed a linear as well as quadratic responses to STSB contents of media. As incorporation rate of STSB increased, more water was retained in four root media at the soil moisture tension of 4.90 kPa, 9.81 kPa, 29.4 kPa and 1.5 MPa. The amount of water retained in PS medium was the highest at the moisture tension at 29.4 kPa and 1.5 MPa followed by PB, PR and PV medium. These results indicated that elevation of incorporation rate of STSB to various root media increased moisture retention capacity, but did not increase the available water holding capacity.

The treatment efficiency and the degradation characteristics of humic acid were investigated in three processes-GAC adsorption, Ozone alone and Ozone/GAC hybrid process, in which $UV_{254}$, DOC, molecular size distribution and surface change of GAC were evaluated. DOC removal rate in Ozone/GAC hybrid profess(ca. 80%) was higher than the arithmetic sum of Ozone alone(38%) and GAC adsorption(19%). This result approves that the combined Ozone/GAC hybrid process brings synergistic effects on DOC removal from the HA containing water. $UV_{254}$ decrease rate was also at the highest in Ozone/GAC hybrid process from the three processes. It may be interpreted that the granular activated carbon in Ozone/GAC hybrid process acts as not only an adsorbent but also a catalyst for ozonation, and futhermore offers an additional reaction site between adsorbed organic matter and ozone. In the study of molecular sire distribution, there was no significant change of molecular size distribution in the GAC adsorption process during the reaction time of 120 min. In Ozone alone process, the fraction of molecular size over 30 kDa was decreased a little at the beginning and left constant after 10 min. But in Ozone/GAC hybrid process, the molecules size over 30 kDa of HA was significantly decreased from 36.3% to 3.9%. And also the fraction of smaller molecular size below 0.5 kDa was increased from 4.8%(untreated HA) to 12.3%(in Ozone alone) and 40.1%(in Ozone/GAC) respectively at the reaction time of 120 min.

The most appropriate mixing ratio of fly ash to bottom ash obtained from compaction characteristics and CBR values is varying from 5:5 to 6:4. But these mixed ashes are frost-susceptible materials according to judging by the paticle-size distribution because of a lot of silty-size paticles. In this study, the frost-susceptibility of compacted coal ash with proper mixing ratio is examined experimentally for use of subgrade materials. And, the efforts have been made to find proper cement addition in making these mixed ashes frost-insusceptible. It was revealed that these mixed ashes are frost-susceptible, and 4% of cement content is required to be made frost-insusceptable. It was found that amount of frost heave of these mixed ashes decreases with the unconfined compressive strength, and increases with log k if the permeability coefficient k is as low as the water into the freezing front of these mixed ashes is restricted.

In this study, change of hydration property with contents and type of gypsum in ternary natural hydraulic lime containing blast furnace slag and gypsum was investigated. Anhydrite, hemihydrate and dihydrate were added 3 % and 10 %, respectively in natural hydraulic lime adding blast furnace slag 20 %. Hydration and physical behavior due to solubility and reactivity of different types of gypsum were analyzed in early hydration. As a result of analysis of hydration properties, in all samples, hydrates such as ettringite and C-S-H were produced in early hydration, and amount of hydrates with increase of hydration time was increased. In the case of compressive strength, when contents of gypsum are 3 %, it was higher compressive strength than other specimens. At hydration 28 days, for addition of anhydrite and hemihydrate, compressive strength was more than adding dihydrate.

Hydrogen evolution by mixed fermentation of Clostn"dium butyn"cum and photosynthetic bacteria which were capable of consuming clostridial metabolites and evolving hydrogen was investigated. Acetate and butyrate formed from anaerobic clostridial fermentation were efficiently utilized by Rhodopseudomonas sPhaeroides K-7. For complete bioconversion of clostridial metabolites such as acetate and butyrate into hydrogen, mixed culture of both anaerobic organisms forming molecular hydrogen was performed. By the mixed culture, the yield of hydrogen production increased by 20 to 75% and the levels of clostridial metabolites such as acetate, butyrate decreased in the fermentation broth. Influence of cell mixing ratio. mixing time and inoculum level on hydrogen evolution by mixed culture were examined. And then cometabolic pattern compared with in pure culture was observed as time course.

This study is conducted to investigate the effects of anaerobic treatments of swine manure slurry alone and combination of livestock manure slurry and fruit pomace on biogas production. Anaerobic co-digestion was evaluated in mesophilic tank reactors for 96 day-incubation period. The organic matter loading of anaerobic digestion was 1 kg of volatile solids(VS) per $1m^3{\cdot}day$. The highest methane production was achieved from the combination of swine manure slury and mandarin pomace(70:30) treatment, whereas the lowest daily and cumulative methane yields was observed in swine manure slurry alone treatment. More than two-fold increase in bio-gas and methane production was obtained by combination of livestock manure slurry and mandarin pomace treatment, compared to the swine manure slurry alone treatment. The co-digestion of livestock manure and fruits pomace has advantages to enhance the production of methane gas, compared to digestion of swine manure slurry alone.
