An image analysis-based soft sensor is designed and applied to automatic quality classification of product appearance with color-textural characteristics. In this work, multiresolutional multivariate image analysis (MR-MIA) is used in order to analyze product images with color as well as texture. Fisher's discriminant analysis (FDA) is also used as a supervised learning method for automatic classification. The use of FDA, one of latent variable methods, enables us not only to classify products appearance into distinct classes, but also to numerically and consistently estimate product appearance with continuous variations and to analyze characteristics of appearance. This approach is successfully applied to automatic quality classification of intermediate and final products in industrial manufacturing of engineered stone countertops.

In this study, autogenous crack healing and artificial crack healing using electrochemical electro deposition method were conducted to compare in the aspects of corrosion monitoring. Furthermore, the analysis of impressed voltage characteristics, galvanic current and linear polarization resistance comparison, and photo image processing technique were performed for quantitative comparisons of healing ratio. As a result, it was found that, in view of impressed voltage of artificial crack healing, the measured voltage was increased as time goes by. From the galvanic test results of artificial crack healing, the current vs. potential distribution value were formed widely in comparison with autogenous crack healing. In this point, it was shown that artificial crack healing has more eleatic resistance capacity than autogenous crack healing technique. Finally, it was found that artificial crack healing was 1.63 times higher than autogenous healing in view of crack healing ratio.

디지탈 윤전 등사기 또는 디지털복사 인쇄기(digital duplicator)라고 불리우는 사무용 소형 단색 윤전 인쇄기는 컴퓨터 스캐닝 기술과 스텐실 열천공 기술의 발달로 손쉽게 인쇄기상에서 자동복사 제판이 가능해 짐에 따라 우리나라에 1990년대부터 학교, 관공서, 군 및 교회등의 시험지와 홍보전단지 인쇄용으로 널리 보급되었다. 여기에 사용되는 잉크는 카트리지에 장착식으로 공급되는데, 에멀젼 잉크로서 천공으로 이루어진 스텐실 화상 뒷면으로부터 가압 통과되어 인쇄용지에 윤전식으로 인쇄된다. W/O형 에멀젼 잉크가 그 기본 전형이 된 것은 스텐실의 미세구멍을 통과하도록 큰 로라압력을 받아야 하는 잉크는 우선적으로 높은 점도이어야 하나 수십 마이크론의 미세구멍을 쉽게 빠져 나가도록 침투성이 빨라야 하는 이중적 레올로지 특성이 요구되기 때문이다. 그러나 에멀젼의 원천적인 불안정성과 물과 기름의 상호 대립적인 물리 \ulcorner화학적 특성을 주목하고 번짐, 얼룩, 배면침투, 광택문제, 건조성 지연 등의 인쇄품질을 향상시키고져 그동안 많은 연구개발이 노력이 있어 왔다. 이에 대하여 세계 시장을 크게 장악하고 있는 일본의 특허를 주로 검토하여 디지털 인쇄기용 W/O 에멀젼 잉크 기술 및 현황에 대해서 연구 조사하였다.

Currently chemical plant risk have been issued by occurring frequent accidents. Accidents can be generally composed of fire, explosion, release in chemical plant. In case of fire and explosion, accident victims are occurred immediately after accident but release accident, late emergency response cause damage to worker. Especially, there are many victims by late emergency response against chemical exposure to skin. In case of chemical exposure to skin, irreversible damage like death, blindness, burn can be prevented by washing immediately. Safety shower can provide the cleaning for chemical exposure to eye, skin. Most of chemical plants are built in 1980s so equipment become superannuated. In this reason, safety shower also cannot operate normally in emergency situation. Therefor safety shower should be managed by installation and management guideline. This study perform the establishment guideline for safety shower installation and inspection to increase the reliability.

Chemical plant's fire and explosion does not only damage to the chemical plants themselves but also damage to people in or near of the accident spot and the neighborhood of chemical plant. For that reason, Chemical process safety management has become important. One of safety management methods is called 'the quantitative analysis', which is used to reduce and prevent the accident. The results of the quantitative analysis could be used to arrange the equipments, evaluate the minimum safety distance, prepare the safety equipments. In this study we make the computer program to make easy to do Quantitative analysis of the accident. The output of the computer program is the magnitude of fire(pool fire and fireball) and explosion(UVCE and BLEVE) effects. We used the thermal radiation as a measure of fire magnitude and used the overpressure as a measure of explosion magnitude. In case of BLEVE, the fly distance of fragment can be evaluated. Also probit analysis was done in every case. As the case study, Buchun LPG explosion accident in Korea was analysed by the program developed. The simulation results showed that the permissible distance was 800m and probit analysis showed that 1st degree bum, 2nd degree burn, and death distances are 450, 280, 260m, respectively the simulation results showed the good agreement with the results from SAFER PROGRAM made by Dupont.

A variety of previous pharmacological studies have suggested Liriope platyphylla (L. platyphylla) may exert beneficial biological effects on inflammation, diabetes, neurodegenerative disorder, obesity, constipation, and atopic dermatitis. In addition, hydrocolloid membranes (HCMs) have attracted attention in dermatological care, including in the treatment of scleroderma skin ulcers, cutaneous ulcers, permanent tympanic membrane perforations, pressure sores, and decubitus ulcers in the elderly. To investigate the therapeutic effects of HCM containing an aqueous extract of L. platyphylla (HCM-LP) on second-degree burn wounds, their physico-chemical properties were analyzed and the therapeutic effects were observed in SD rats after treatment with HCM-LP for 14 days. Significant declines in tensile strength (38.4%) and absorptiveness (46.3%), as well as an increase in surface roughness (38.1%) were detected in HCM-LP compared with that of HCM. In SD rats with burned skin, the wound diameter was shorter in the HCM-LP treated group than in the GZ group on post-surgical day 14, while the significant improvements in scar tissue reduction, epithelium regeneration, angiogenesis, and extracellular matrix deposition were observed in the HCM-LP-treated group during all experimental periods. Overall, these results suggest HCM-LP may accelerate the process of healing the burn injury skin of SD rats through the regulation of angiogenesis and connective tissue formation.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the status of safety accidents and importance-performance analysis (IPA) between regular and non-regular employees in industry foodservices. Methods: The participants were regular employees (n = 119) and non-regular employees (n = 163) in industry foodservices in the Jeonbuk area. Demographic characteristics, status of safety accidents, safety education, and importance and performance status were assessed using a self-administered questionnaire. Results: Approximately 66.4% of regular employees and 53.4% of non-regular employees experienced safety accidents (p < 0.05). Types of safety accidents of regular and non-regular employees were mostly burns, and causes were mostly from their own negligence. Approximately 98.3% of regular employees and 95.1% of non-regular employees experienced safety education. Approximately 88.9% of regular employees and 96.8% of non-regular employees received safety education from dietitians. Approximately 41.9% of regular employees and 50.0% of non-regular employees had difficulty applying the contents of safety education due to lack of time during work. As a result of IPA, regular and non-regular employees were aware of the importance of the following and performed them well: 'Clean the floor of the work place', 'Arrange in the work area', 'Wear safety shoes', 'Check for heater cord', and 'Safety cooking when using oil'. On the other hand, they were not aware of the importance of the following and performed them insufficiently: 'Check for the MSDS', 'Aware of chemical signs', 'Wear protection gloves etc.', 'Do stretching exercise', and 'Using ancillary tools'. Conclusion: Therefore, it is necessary to improve the consciousness of dietitians for effective application of safety education contents, development of contents, especially MSDS, and related things.

This study was conducted to assess the spray control of flash boiling with mixed fuel in consideration of HCCI (Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition) engine condition. Mixed fuel existing in two phase regions can control the process of mixture formation under low temperature and density by using the spray resulting from flash boiling which is able to induce rapid evaporation of fuel spray as well as the evaporation of high boiling point component. Because HCCI engine injects the fuel early under ambient conditions, it can facilitate the chemical control of ignition combustion and physical control such as breakup and atomization of liquid fuel by flash boiling of mixed fuel which consists of highly ignitable light oil and highly volatile gasoline. This study was conducted by performing video processing after selected composition and molar fraction of the mixed fuel as major parameters and photographed Schlieren image and Mie scattered light corresponding to the flash boiling phenomenon of the fuel spray that was injected inside a constant volume vessel. It was found that flash boiling causes significant changes in the spray structure under relatively low temperature and density. Thus, we analyzed that the flash boiling spray can be used for HCCI combustion by controlling the mixture formation at the early fuel injection timing.

The solubilization constants (K_s) of 4-halogenated aniline derivatives by cationic surfactants (DTAB, TTAB, and CTAB) were measured by the UV-Vis method. As a result, the K_s values decreased as the temperature increased for all the aniline derivatives and showed a tendency to increase as the radius of the halogen substituent and the hydrophobic length of surfactant increased. The calculated values of ΔG^o and ΔH^o for these solubilizations all showed negative values within the measured range, but all the ΔS^o values showed positive values. For all the 4-halogenated anilines, the ΔG^o values all tended to decrease as the temperature increased, but both values of ΔH^o and ΔS^o showed a tendency to increase. In addition, as the radius of the halogen substituent increased, the values of ΔH^o and ΔS^o tended to decrease in general. However, when the hydrophobic group length of the surfactant was increased, the values of these thermodynamic functions showed a tendency to increase in general, although it differed depending on the type of aniline derivative. From the changes of such functions, it was possible to estimate the type and strength of interactions between 4-halogenated aniline and micelle, and the location at which they were solubilized in the micelle.
