  • Squid oil is an abundant source of polyunsaturated fatty acids. This is particularly true for eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid. The principal objective of this study was to extend the stability and improve the process aptitude of squid liver oil. Fluidized bed coatings were employed for coating with microencapsulated oil. The efficiency of the fluidized bed coating of the microencapsulated powder was over 90%. The apparent density with zein-DP was 0.6 g/mL, thereby indicating that flow ability had been improved as the result of an increase in specific gravity. The solubility of artificial gastric and enteric fluids with HPMC-FCC was 59.9 and 0%, respectively, whereas with zein-DP solubility was 0 and 31.0%, respectively. Polyunsaturated fatty acid retention results demonstrated that zein-DP coating was higher than HPMC-FCC, followed by the microencapsulated squid liver oil method. These results demonstrated that the application of microencapsulation and fluidized bed micro-coating techniques improved the stability and processing compatibility of squid liver oil.

  • It is to use effectively for stream channel and watershed management as the prediction and the analysis of bed changes characteristics in the Seomjin river downstream. The necessary data (section, bed composition material, pivot point water elevation, coefficient of roughness) with regard to analysis of the bed changes characteristics were based upon the survey data and analysis results in the Seomjin river maintenance basic plan. The prediction of bed changes was also completed with HEC-6 model. The study results were summarized as follows: The main factor of bed changes in the Seomjin river downstream can be decided by extreme extraction of bed aggregate rather than the change of hydrological data. According to the analysis of bed stability based on the relation between friction velocity and representative grain size, and the relation between dimensionless tractive force and representative grain size, the Seomjin river downstream appears to be increased overall. The bed composition material in the stream channel of the Seomjin river of 2003 year shows higher composition rate of gravel and lower composition rate of sand as compared to those of 1989 year. According to result that the prediction of bed changes, it is estimated that the bed will be risen approximately 1.5 m to the place up to 9 km from the estuary, have been repetitively risen and fallen up to 1 m to the place between $9{\sim}21\;km$ section, and fallen about 0.5m to the place between $22{\sim}25\;km$ section. As a result, the bed of the Seomjin river downstream can be decided to be risen gradually. However, since the prediction of this study is based on the assumption that there will be no forced aggregate picking, the bed changes can be much greater than expected when there is a massive aggregate picking as it had happened before.

  • Waste combustion above a grate is the core process of incineration systems, stability of which should be guaranteed for emission minimization. However, complicated reactions and heat and mass transfer phenomena make understanding the process difficult. One dimensional bed combustor with a numerical combustion model is utilized to investigate the combustion process of the bed, using cubic wood particles as a simulated fuel. Bed combustion behavior is characterized with apparent flame propagation speed, which has close relationship with air supply rate and chemical and physical characteristics of the fuel. Base on the availability of oxygen, two distinct reaction zone is identified; the oxygen-limited and the reaction-limited zone leading to the extinction by excessive convection cooling. The numerical modeling shows good agreement with the experimental results. The transient bed combustion behavior of local temperature and oxygen consumption rate is adequately reproduced. The numerical model is extended to model the waste bed combustion of a commercial incineration plant, which shows meaningful results as well.

  • A dense, pellicular UpFront adsorbent ($p=1.5 g/cm^3$, UpFront Chromatography, Cophenhagen, Denmark) was characterized in terms of hydrodynamic properties and protein adsorption performance in expanded bed chromatography. Cibacron Blue 3GA was immobilised into the adsorbent and protein adsorption of bovine serum albumin (BSA) was selected to test the setup. The Bodenstein number and axial dispersion coefficient estimated for this dense pellicular adsorbent was 54 and $1.63{\times}10^{-5}m^2/s$, respectively, indicating a stable expanded bed. It could be shown that the BSA protein was captured by the adsorbent in the presence of 30% (w/v) of whole-yeast cells with an estimated dynamic binding capacity $(C/C_o = 0.01)$ of approximately 6.5 mg/mL adsorbent.

  • This study aimed to provide basic data for 3D printing in the medical health field by developing upper wear fixation device (UWFD), an auxiliary device for shortening chest AP examination time on emergency room beds and non-contact with patients. The standard of hooks was modeled according to the bed frame using the Autodesk Fusion 360. It was printed with Form2 (Formlabs, Somerville, MA, USA), as SLA (stereo lithography apparatus) method, and was washed and hardened using Form Wash and Form Cure. The completed UWFD conducted an online survey on 4 items of stability, convenience, availability, preference and general characteristics. The total stability average was 3.93±0.80, the total convenience average was 3.93±0.68, the total availability average was 4.01±0.89, and the total preference average was 3.80±1.08. This study was significant in suggesting improvements in the general X-ray examination process in the emergency room by designing and making aids to easily fixing the patient's top to the frame of the emergency bed while meeting promptness and non-contact with the patient.

  • The purpose of this study is to develop a continuous process for sorbitol production using Zymomonas mobilis immobilized in K-carra-geenan. The glutaraldehyde cross-linking of toluene-treated cells immobilized in alginate or chitin showed high enzyme stability for long period. However, loss of enzyme activity was observed at 23% during 210h. In order to investigate the stability of glucose-fructose oxidoreductase of cethyltrimethylammoniumbromide (CT AB) treated cells, the long term continuous process was carried out with Z. mobilis immobilized in K-carrageenan in the continuous stirred tank reactor(CSTR) and the packed bed reactor. The continuous production of sorbitol with the immobilized CT AB permeabilized cells in packed bed reactor was more stable than in CSTR. Two stage continuous process with CT AB treated cells of Z. mobilis immobilized in K-carrageenan was carried out at various dilution rates. At the first stage, the productivity was increased up to 15 g/ $\ell$ -h as dilution rate increased and decreased over 0.32$h^{-1}$ of dilution rate. Similarly, maximum productivity obtained at the second stage was 22g/$\ell$ -h at 0.32$h^{-1}$

  • Advertising provides consumers with information about products, purchasing effect and criteria. Advertising of the domestic bed companies started in the 1990's and each company focused on publicizing its brand. As the times change, however, they begin to express the quality-property which consumers demanded in the advertising. This research examined the advertising trends in the domestic and foreign bed companies. Also, it presents how the quality control (QC) is reflected on the advertising of the domestic and foreign bed companies. As a result of the analysis on bed-advertising of them, the things mostly represented as a determinant of product quality are performance, shape/quality, recognition and reliability. On the side of consumers, however, service, durability and stability are mirrored in the advertising and help choose the products as the determinants.

  • High penetration of renewable energy generators causes unnecessary investment for power system facilities. Especially with Korean government policies such as Renewable Energy 3020 and Inter-connection support Responsibility of KEPCO for 1 MW DERs, the applications of DER interconnection in distribution system have been increasing. To save the investment, smart control functions for DERs are required and the test bed for the inverters which have not been prepared are necessary to insure DER inter-connection stability. For this, test bed for advanced functions of a smart inverter has been constructed and the tests for necessary functions have been implemented. In this paper, the test bed and environment as well as specifications are introduced and the test results for the validation of the functions are analyzed.

  • To investigate the influence of forest road characteristics and site conditions on the stability of forest-road in granite area, four forest roads had been selected in Kyongbuk regions. The total of 13 road characteristic variables were evaluated by the discriminant analysis. The factors influencing the stability of forest road were bed rock, slope length, coverage, hardness, side-ditch erosion and road width. But aspect and soil texture were not significant for the stability in this area. In the correlation between forest environment and road structure, hardness and bed rock was highly significant in stability group, and coverage and side-ditch erosion was highly significant in instability group. 75 of 175 segments were instable whereas the others were stable. The centroids value by discriminant function in the stability and instability were estimated to 3.0585 and -1.9116, respectively. The stability criterion of forest road was discriminated from the centroids value of the each group. The main factors contributing the stability of forest road were significant in order of side-ditch erosion, coverage, soil texture, elevation, gradient, slope length and construction year. The prediction rate of discriminant function for stability evaluation of forest road was as high as 97.44%. In conclusion, the forest road structure factors such as length, coverage and slope gradient were controlled by construction techniques. If the factors like those should be considered in design, construction and forest road management, the stability of forest road may increase more. And also, it is necessary to take slope protection measures like small terraces and retaining walls for stability of cut slope.

  • Alkaline protease for the hydrolysis of egg yolk protein was immobilized on five carriers - Duolite A568, Celite R640, Dowex-1, Dowex 50W and Silica gel R60. Duolite A568 showed a maximum immobilization yield of 24.7%. Optimum pH for the free and immobilized enzyme was pH 8 and 9, respectively. However, no change was observed in optimum temperature ($50^{\circ}C$). Thermal stability was observed in immobilized enzymes compared to free enzymes. The immobilized enzyme retained 86% activity after 10 cycle operations in a repeated batch process. The effect of flow rate on the stability of enzyme activity in continuous packed-bed reactor was investigated. Lowering flow rate increased the stability of the immobilized enzyme. After 96 hr of continuous operation in a packed-bed reactor, the immobilized enzyme retained 83 and 61% activity when casein and egg yolk were used as a raw materials, respectively.
