This research considers the effect of added mesophase pitch (MP) as an additive during the pitch synthesis reaction of pyrolyzed fuel oil (PFO). Two effects are generated by adding MP. One is an enhancement of thermal stability due to the high thermal property of the additive; the other is that the volatile compounds that were removed by vaporization of PFO during the thermal reaction can participate in the pitch synthesis reaction ($PFO{\rightarrow}pitch$) more efficiently. The effect differs according to the amount of the additive. When the amount of the additive is less than 7 wt%, the first effect is dominant, whereas the second effect is dominant when the additive amount exceeds 10 wt%.

Microstructure and additive effect of Lead Zirconate-Titanate(PZT) ceramics prepared by molten salt synthesis method with additives $Nb_2O_5, Fe_2O_3$ and MnO were investigated.The grain PZT ceramics ws decreased with the increase $Nb^{5+} or Fe^{3+}$ while increased with the increase $Mn^{2+}$ addition. The relative resistivity of PZT ceramics was increased with the increase $Mn^{5+}$ addition, while decreased with the increase $Mn^{2+}$ addition. And the dielectric and the piezoelectric constant of PZT ceramics showed 2,100 and 342pC/N at $Mn^{5+}$ addition of 0.75 mol%, respectively.

1, 2-Octanediol (OD) as a cosmetic additive has been used simultaneously as a preservative and humectant. To solve the skin problem by 1, 2-octanediol (OD), we have synthesized 1, 2-octanediol galactoside (OD-gal) using Escherichia coli β-galactosidase (β-gal). Meanwhile, the optimal amount of β-gal, OD concentration, pH, and temperature for OD-gal synthesis were 4.5 U/ml, 150 mM, 7.0, and 37℃, respectively. Under these conditions, 150 mM OD was converted into about 55.9 mM OD-gal during 24 hours, in which the conversion yield (mole basis) was about 37.2%. In addition, OD-gal of 67.4 mg could be purified from a 9 ml reaction mixture, in which the overall synthesis yield from OD to the purified OD-gal was about 34.1% (weight basis) and 16.2% (mole basis), respectively. We are expecting that these results will be helpful to develop a safer additive in the cosmetic industry as basic data.

In this paper, using one method of Additive Synthesis, Analysis-by-synthesis/Overlap-Add (ABS/OLA) method, analysis and synthesis of musical tones is processed. But peak detection of frequency domain is processed by proposed method considering the view of acoustics. It is that that harmonics frequency is times of main frequency. Using this fact, peak detection of frequency domain is useful for detection of tonal component identified musical note. It is possible to realize high-quality lour bit rate audio.

We report, synthesis of high surface area composite carbon aerogel using additive based polymerization technique by incorporating graphitic porous carbon as additive. This additive was separately prepared using sol-gel polymerization of resorcinol-furfuraldehyde in iso-propyl alcohol medium at much above the routine gelation temperature to yield porous carbon (CA-IPA) having graphitic layered morphology. CA-IPA exhibited a unique combination of meso-pore dominated surface area (~ 700 m²/g) and good conductivity of ~ 300 S/m. The composite carbon aerogel (CCA) was synthesized by traditional aqueous medium based resorcinol-formaldehyde gelation with CA-IPA as additive. The presence of CA-IPA favored enhanced meso-porosity as well as contributed to improvement in bulk conductivity. Based on the surface area characteristics, CCA-8 composition having 8% additive was found to be optimum. It showed specific surface area of ~ 2056 m²/g, mesopore area of 827 m²/g and electrical conductivity of 180 S/m. The electrode formed with CCA-8 showed improved electrochemical behavior, with specific capacitance of 148 F/g & ESR < 1 Ω, making it a better choice as super capacitor for energy storage applications.

Sums-of-Products models were built for segment duration prediction of spoken Korean. An experiment for the modelling was carried out to apply the results to Korean text-to-speech synthesis systems. 670 read sentences were analyzed. trained and tested for the construction of the duration models. Traditional sequential rule systems were extended to simple additive, multiplicative and additive-multiplicative models based on Sums-of-Products modelling. The parameters used in the modelling include the properties of the target segment and its neighbors and the target segment's position in the prosodic structure. Two optimisation strategies were used: the downhill simplex method and the simulated annealing method. The performance of the models was measured by the correlation coefficient and the root mean squared prediction error (RMSE) between actual and predicted duration in the test data. The best performance was obtained when the data was trained and tested by ' additive-multiplicative models. ' The correlation for the vowel duration prediction was 0.69 and the RMSE. 31.80 ms. while the correlation for the consonant duration prediction was 0.54 and the RMSE. 29.02 ms. The results were not good enough to be applied to the real-time text-to-speech systems. Further investigation of feature interactions is required for the better performance of the Sums-of-Products models.

Since variance of noise is important parameter for a noise filter to reduce noise in image and the performance of noise filter is dependent on estimated variance. In this paper, we apply additive noise variance estimation method to estimate variance of speckle noise of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery. Generally, speckle noise is in multiplicative model, logarithmic transformation is then used to transform multiplicative model into additive model. Here, speckle noise is generally modeled as Gamma distribution function with different looks. The additive noise variance estimation is processed in log domain. The synthesis image and real image of SAR are implemented to test and confirm results and show that more accurate estimation can be achieved.

Mixtures of very small amounts of additive, carbon and silica(about 0.46${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) which synthesized by the hydrolysis of ethyl silicate, the molar ratio of SiO2/C was fixed to 1/10, was nitrided at 145$0^{\circ}C$. It was considered that the optimum amount of additive to promote the nitridation reaction was below 2.0wt%. By the addition of additive, the nitridation reaction was promoted and formation of $\beta$-Si3N4 was promoted at 145$0^{\circ}C$ for 1hour, but, the nitridation reaction was decreased and the ratio of $\alpha$/$\beta$ of Si3N4, was increased at 145$0^{\circ}C$ for 5 hours. The crystal phase was $\alpha$ phase and the nitridation reaction was promoted and the particle size of silicon nitride was become smaller by the addition of $\alpha$-Si3N4, but silicon nitride of whisker-like form was produced by the addition of transition elements. There was a difference in the lattice constants of $\alpha$-Si3N4, but no difference in its of $\beta$-Si3N4 according to kinds of added substance and reaction time.

Using SHS(Self-propagating High-temperature Synthesis) method, the optimum synthetic condition of titanium carbonitride was established by controlling the parameters such as relative density of mixture (Ti+C), nitrogen pressure, additive amounts of titanium hydride(TiH1.924) and protecting heat loss. Under 1 atm nitrogen pressure, nitridation ratio with changing relative density of the sample compacts has a maximum (87.2%) at about 55%, and in the case of enveloping the pellet with a quartz tube, the highest nitridation ratio of 90% was obtained at about 68%. At relative density of 55%, nitridation ratio with the nitrogen pressure has a miximum (87.3%) at 7 atm. As the amounts of additive titanium hydride increased, nitridation ratio decreased at below 7 atm nitrogen pressure and, increased at above this pressure until percent of addition percent reached 15 wt% and decreased abruptly upon futher increases in titanium hydride. In the synthesis of TiCxNy by combustion reaction, heat transfer from combustion zone to preheating zone and nitrogen gas penetration into the compact were found to be important factors affecting the TiCxNy formation. It was difficult to obtain high nitridation ratio when the conbustion temperature was either too high or too low, and it seems that the retention of high temperature after a combustion wave sweeped through the reactant mixture pellet is critical to obtain a satisfactory nitridation ratio.
