The formation of Li-Si-O phases, $Li_4SiO_4$ and $Li_2SiO_3$ from the starting materials SiO and $Li_2O$ are analyzed using Vienna Ab-initio Simulation (VASP) package and the total energies of Li-Si-O compounds are evaluated using Projector Augmented Wave (PAW) method and correlated the structural characteristics of the binary system SiO-$Li_2O$ with experimental data from electrochemical method. Despite $Li_2SiO_3$ becomes stable phase by virtue of lowest formation energy calculated through VASP, the experimental method shows presence of $Li_4SiO_4$ as the only product formed when SiO and $Li_2O$ reacts during slow heating to reach $550^{\circ}C$ and found no evidence for the formation of $Li_2SiO_3$. Also, higher density of $Li_4SiO_4$(2.42 g $ml^{-1}$) compared to the compositional mixture $1SiO_2-2Li_2O$ (2.226 g $ml^{-1}$) and better cycle capacity observed through experiment proves that $Li_4SiO_4$ as the most stable anode supported by better cycleabilityfor lithium ion battery remains as paradox from the point of view of VASP calculations.

Activities of nanostructure HZSM-5 and Co-ZSM-5 catalysts (with different Co-loading) for catalytic conversion of ethyl acetate and toluene were studied. The catalysts were prepared by wet impregnation method and were characterized by XRD, BET, SEM, TEM and ICP-AES techniques. Catalytic studies were carried out inside a U-shaped fixed bed reactor under atmospheric pressure and different temperatures. Toluene showed lower reactivity than ethyl acetate for conversion on Co-ZSM-5 catalysts. The effect of Co loading on conversion was prominent at temperatures below $400^{\circ}C$ and $450^{\circ}C$ for ethyl acetate and toluene respectively. In a binary mixture of organic compounds, toluene and ethyl acetate showed an inhibition and promotional behaviors respectively, in which the conversion of toluene was decreased at temperatures above $350^{\circ}C$. Inhibition effect of water vapor was negligible at temperatures above $400^{\circ}C$. An artificial neural networks model was developed to predict the conversion efficiency of ethyl acetate on Co-ZSM-5 catalysts based on experimental data. Predicted results showed a good agreement with experimental results. ANN modeling predicted the order of studied variable effects on ethyl acetate conversion, which was as follows: reaction temperature (50%) > ethyl acetate inlet concentration (25.085%) > content of Co loading (24.915%).

The acid-bible subunit (ALS) associates with the insulinlike growth factor (IGF)-I or II, and the IGF binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) in order to form a 150-kD complex in the circulation. This complex may regulate the serum IGFs by restricting them in the vascular system and promoting their endocrine actions. Little is known about how ALS binds to IGFBP3, which connects the IGFs to ALS. Xenopus oocyte was utilized to study the function of ALS in assembling IGFs into the ternary complexes. Xenopus oocyte was shown to correctly translate in vitro transcribed mRNAs of ALS and IGFBP3. IGFBP3 and ALS mRNAs were injected in a mixture, and their products were immunoprecipitated by antisera against ALS and IGFBP3. Contrary to traditional reports that ALS interacts only with IGF-bound IGFBP3, this study shows that ALS is capable of forming a binary complex with IGFBP3 in the absence of IGF When cross-linked by disuccinimidyl suberate, the band that represents the ALS-IGFBP3 complex was evident on the PAGE. IGFBP3 movement was monitored according to the distribution between the hemispheres. Following a localized translation in the vegetal hemisphere, IGFBP3 remained in the vegetal half in the presence of ALS. However, the mutant IGFBP3 freely diffused into the animal half, despite the presence of ALS, which is different from the wild type IGFBP3. This study, therefore, suggests that ALS may play an important role in sequestering IGFBP3 polypeptides via the intermolecular aggregation. Studies using this heterologous model will lead to a better understanding of the IGFBP3 and ALS that assemble into the ternary structure and circulate the IGF system.

In this study, 2 pure hydrocarbon refrigerants of R1270 (Propylene) and R290 (Propane) and 3 binary mixtures composed of R1270, R29O and R152a were tested in a refrigerating bench tester with a scroll compressor in an attempt to substitute R502 used in most of the low temperature applications. The test bench provided 3\sim3.5$ kW capacity and water and water/glycol mixture were employed as the secondary heat transfer fluids. All tests were conducted under the same external conditions resulting in the average saturation temperatures of -28 and $45^{\circ}C$ in the evaporator and condenser, respectively. Test results showed that all refrigerants tested had $9.6\sim18.7\%$ higher capacity and $17.1\sim27.3\%$ higher COP than R502. The compressor discharge temperature of R1270 was similar to that of R502 while those of all other refrigerants were $23.7\sim27.9\%$ lower than that of R502. For all alternative refrigerants, the amount of charge was reduced up to $60\%$ as compared to R502. Overall, these alternative refrigerants offer better system performance and reliability than R502 and can be used as long term substitutes for R502 due to their excellent environmental properties.

SMB는 연속 크로마토그래피 공정으로써 회분식 크로마토그래피보다 이동상의 소비를 줄이고 높은 농도, 높은 수율의 생산성의 장점을 가지고 있다. 그러나 운전상의 복잡성 때문에 이 공정을 이해하기 어렵다. 본 실험에서는 서로 다른 색깔을 지닌 두 물질의 분리를 시도함으로써 공정의 이해를 용이하게 하였다. 실험에서 사용된 물질은 Blue dextran과 Orange G로서 각각 파란색과 오렌지 색을 띤다. 실험은 4개의 존으로 구성된 SMB로써 zone VI에서 zone I으로 재순환 되지 않는 열린 루프계가 적용되었다. 운전 조건은 Standing wave design를 이용하였으며 extract와 raffinate에서 높은 순도와 수율을 가질 수 있도록 디자인하였다. 단일 칼럼을 이용한 실험을 통해서 여러 유량에서 비선형 흡착 평형식과 실험식으로부터 물질전달계수를 얻었다. Extract와 raffinate의 농도분포 곡선은 모사 결과와 거의 일치하였다. Extract와 raffinate의 순도는 99.49％와 98.89％이며 두 물질의 수율은 모두 98％였다.

상 하수 응집제인 폴리염화알루미늄(polyaluminumchloride, PAC)과 가성소다(NaOH)를 이용하여 수산화알루미늄을 합성하고, 가성소다(NaOH) 첨가량 변화에 따른 합성물 특징을 고찰하였다. 이 때 합성된 수산화알루미늄의 특징을 XRD, SEM, PSA로 분석하였다. XRD 분석 결과, NaOH 15g에서는 비정질 수산화알루미늄로, NaOH 20g에서는 깁사이트(gibbsite)(37%), 바이어라이트(bayerite)(35%), 보헤마이트(boehmite)(28%)의 혼합상(mixed phase)으로 나타났으며, NaOH 25g에서는 깁사이트(gibbsite)(67%), 바이어라이트(bayerite)(33%)로, NaOH 30g에서는 깁사이트(gibbsite) (83%), 바이어라이트(bayerite)(17%)로 나타났다. SEM 분석 결과, NaOH 25, 30g에서 판형 형태로 분석되었다. PSA 분석 결과, 수산화알루미늄의 입자 크기는 NaOH 첨가량이 증가할수록 감소하였다.

최소자연발화온도는 가연성물질이 주위의 열에 의해 스스로 발화하는 최저온도이다. 최소자연발화온도는 유기혼합물중 가연성 액체혼합물의 안전한 취급을 위해서 중요한 지표가 된다. 본 연구에서는 ASTM E659 장치를 이용하여 가연성 혼합물인 노말데칸과 에틸벤젠 계의 최소자연발화온도를 측정하였다. 이성분계를 구성하는 노말데칸과 에틸벤젠의 최소자연발화온도는 각 각 $210^{\circ}C$, $430^{\circ}C$로 측정되었다. 그리고 측정된 노말데칸과 에틸벤젠 혼합물의 최소자연발화온도는 제시된 식에 의한 예측값과 약 $11^{\circ}C$평균절대오차에서 일치하였다.

Ternary Ti-B-C coatings were synthesized on WC-Co and Si wafers substrates by a PECVD technique using a gaseous mixture of $TiCl_4,\;BCl_3,\;CH_4,\;Ar,\;and\; H_2$. The effects of deposition variables such as substrate temperature, gas ratio, $R_x=[BCl_3/(CH_4+BCl_3)]$ on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti-B-C coatings were investigated. From our instrumental analyses, the synthesized Ti-B-C coatings was confirmed to be composites consisting of nanocrystallites TiC, quasi-amorphous TiB2, and amorphous carbon at low boron content, on the contrary, nanocrystallites $TiB_2$, quasi-amorphous TiC, and amorphous carbon at relatively high boron content. The microhardness of the Ti-B-C coatings increased from $\~23 GPa$ of TiC to $\~38 GPa$ of $Ti_{0.33}B_{0.55}C_{0.11}$ coatings with increasing the boron content. The $Ti_{0.33}B_{0.55}C_{0.11}$ coatings showed lower average friction coefficient of 0.45, in addition, it showed relatively better wear behavior compared to other binary coatings of $TiB_2$ and TiC. The microstruture and microhardness value of Ti-B-C coatings were largely depend on the deposition temperature.

인화점은 가연성 액체 혼합물의 화재와 폭발의 위험성을 특징짓는 중요한 인화성 지표이다. 본 연구에서는 Seta flash 장치에 의해 water+formic acid 계와 water+acrylic acid 계의 인화점을 측정하였다. 측정한 인화점을 라울의 법칙과 경험식을 이용한 인화점 예측값과 비교하였다. 라울의 법칙을 이용한 예측 결과의 절대평균오차는 water+formic acid 계의 경우 $10.7^{\circ}C$ 였고, water+acrylic acid 계의 경우 $4.8^{\circ}C$ 이었다. 경험식을 이용한 예측 결과의 절대평균오차는 water+formic acid 계의 경우 $1.0^{\circ}C$ 였고, water+acrylic acid 계의 경우 $0.5^{\circ}C$ 이었다. 결과적으로 라울의 법칙에 의한 예측값에 비해 경험식에 의한 예측값이 측정값을 보다 잘 모사하였다.
