Autoignition characteristic is an important parameter for designing diesel or PCCI engines. In particular, diesel spray flames are lifted from the nozzle and the initial flame is formed by an autoignition phenomenon. The lifted nature of diesel spray flames influences soot formation, since air will be entrained into the spray core by the entrainment of air between the nozzle region and the lifted flame base. The objective of the present study was to identify the effect of heat loss on the ignition delay time by adopting a coflow jet as a model problem. Methane ($CH_4$), ethylene ($C_2H_4$), ethane ($C_2H_6$), propene ($C_3H_6$), propane ($C_3H_8$), and normal butane (n-$C_4H_{10}$) fuels were injected into high temperature air, and the liftoff height was measured experimentally. As the result, a correlation was determined between the liftoff height of the autoignited lifted flame and the ignition delay time considering the heat loss to the atmosphere.

This paper suggests heuristic algorithm for single-model cross-over assembly line balancing problem that is a kind of NP-hard problem. The assembly line balance problem is mainly applied with metaheuristic methods, and no algorithm has been proposed to find the exact solution of polynomial time, making it very difficult to apply in practice. The proposed bi-directional clustering algorithm computes the minimum number of worker m^* = ⌈W/c⌉ and goal cycle time c^* = ⌈W/m^*⌉ from the given total assembling time W and cycle time c. Then we assign each workstation i=1,2,…,m^* to T_i=c^* ±α≤ c using bi-directional clustering method. For 7 experimental data, this bi-directional clustering algorithm same performance as other methods.

The effect of austenitizing temperature and time on the processing window of 3.60wt%C - 2.50wt%Si - 0.80wt%Cu ductile cast iron and that of the amount of copper added were investigated. The second stage reaction at 400oC was retarded with increased austenitizing temperature. The widest processing window was obtained at the lower austempering temperature with the increased time at the same austenitizing temperature. The width of the widest processing window was decreased with the increase of time at the same austenitizing temperature. The width of processing window was increased with the increased amount of copper added.

This study was to discuss limiting factors influenced on the removal efficiencies of nitrogenous compounds investigated using the polypropyrene media which was to attach microorganism in order to apply the fixed-biofilm process. The main limiting factors are the hydraulic retention time (HRT), C/N ratio, $COD/NO_{3}-N$ ratio and temperature. The hydraulic retention time HRT were 6, 8, 10, 12 hrs and the C/N ratio range was 2.5-9.5. The $COD/NO_{3}-N$ ratio range was 3.2-21.9 and the temperature were 15, 20, 25, 30, $35^{\circ}C$, respectively. The results of this study are summerized as follows. 1. Hydraulic retention time (HRT) to obtain removal efficiencies of T-N higher than 85% had to be 10 hrs above. 2. The removal efficiencies of T-N decreased at C/N ratio from 6.2 to 4.8 in this anoxic-contact aeration system. 3. Denitrification rate decreased at $COD/NO$_{3}$-N$ ratio from 8.0 to 5.0 4. As temperature increased, removal efficiencies of T-N increased.

Butt fusions were practiced with butt fusion in the various conditions of fusion temperatures, pressure and time, and the tests of tesile strength, breaking water pressure and fusion features were also practiced so that the reliability of the butt fusion and the fittets fusion condition may be closely examined. And the width, height and thickness of the beads were also closely measured. The fittest fusion result was achieved in the condition of the temperature of $210^{\circ}C$, heating time hight pressure of 14 seconds on the pressure of $1.5kg/cm^2$, heating time hight pressure of 100 seconds and pressure buid-up time of 11 seconds. And in case of the temperature of $250^{\circ}C$, the fittest fusion result was showed in the condition of the heating time hight pressure of 3 seconds on the pressure of 1.0$kg/cm^2$, the heating time low pressure variable of 100 seconds. heating time hight pressure of 14 seconds and the heating maintenance of around 60 seconds. The result of breaking water pressure test of a test piece fusion in the fittest fusion condition was that the fusion condition of the PE pipe showed a good stability and hight reliance. Through this test, it is proved that the temperature of fusion PE pipes can be increased to $250^{\circ}C$ from $210^{\circ}C$. And it can be expected that the above fusion method greatly helps to reduce the fusion time.

$BaTiO_3$ and $SrTiO_2$ were mixed with the mole ratio of 36:65:50, 50: 50 and 65:35 and then heated at 110$0^{\circ}C$~130$0^{\circ}C$ for 1~64 hrs. The solid state reactions and dielectric properties were investigated as a function of amount of solid solution. Activation energy of solid solution decreased with increasing amount of $BaTiO_3$ due to fast diffusion of $Ba^{2+}$ ions. Dielectric constants increased with increasing the soaking time at 125$0^{\circ}C$and 130$0^{\circ}C$ and Curie Temperature shifted to higher temperature with increasing the soaking time at 125$0^{\circ}C$ and 130$0^{\circ}C$. It attributes to the am-ount of solid solution and grain growth, Dielectric constants decreased and Curie Temperature shifted to lower temperature due to decreasing polari-zability.

Cryogenic milling which is a combined process of low-temperature treatment and mechanical milling was applied to fabricate high critical current density $(J_c)MgB_2$ bulk superconductors. Liquid nitrogen was used as a coolant, and no solvent or lubricant was used. Spherical Mg ($6-12{\mu}m$, 99.9 % purity) and plate-like B powder (${\sim}1{\mu}m$, 97 % purity) were milled simultaneously for various time periods (0, 2, 4, 6 h) at a rotating speed of 500 rpm using $ZrO_2$ balls. The (Mg+2B) powders milled were pressed into pellets and heat-treated at $700^{\circ}C$ for 1 h in flowing argon. The use of cryomilled powders as raw materials promoted the formation reaction of superconducting $MgB_2$, reduced the grain size of $MgB_2$, and suppressed the formation of impurity MgO. The superconducting critical temperature ($T_c$) of $MgB_2$ was not influenced as the milling time (t) increased up to 6 h. Meanwhile, the critical current density ($J_c$) of $MgB_2$ increased significantly when t increased to 4 h. When t increased further to 6 h, however, $J_c$ decreased. The $J_c$ enhancement of $MgB_2$ by cryogenic milling is attributed to the formation of the fine grain $MgB_2$ and a suppression of the MgO formation.

Purpose: To investigate the exchange and redistribution of hyperpolarized $^{13}C$ metabolites between different pools by temporally analyzing the relative fraction of dual $T_2{^*}$ components of hyperpolarized $^{13}C$ metabolites. Materials and Methods: A dual exponential decay analysis of $T_2{^*}$ is performed for [1-$^{13}C$] pyruvate and [1-$^{13}C$] lactate using nonspatially resolved dynamic $^{13}C$ MR spectroscopy from mice brains with tumors (n = 3) and without (n = 4) tumors. The values of shorter and longer $T_2{^*}$ components are explored when fitted from averaged spectrum and temporal variations of their fractions. Results: The $T_2{^*}$ values were not significantly different between the tumor and control groups, but the fraction of longer $T_2{^*}$ [1-$^{13}C$] lactate components was more than 10% in the tumor group over that of the controls (P < 0.1). The fraction of shorter $T_2{^*}$ components of [1-$^{13}C$] pyruvate showed an increasing tendency while that of the [1-$^{13}C$] lactate was decreasing over time. The slopes of the changing fraction were steeper for the tumor group than the controls, especially for lactate (P < 0.01). In both pyruvate and lactate, the fraction of the shorter $T_2{^*}$ component was always greater than the longer $T_2{^*}$ component over time. Conclusion: The exchange and redistribution of pyruvate and lactate between different pools was investigated by dual component analysis of the free induction decay signal from hyperpolarized $^{13}C$ experiments. Tumor and control groups showed differences in their fractions rather than the values of longer and shorter $T_2{^*}$ components. Fraction changing dynamics may provide an aspect for extravasation and membrane transport of pyruvate and lactate, and will be useful to determine the appropriate time window for acquisition of hyperpolarized $^{13}C$ images.
