In this study, different calibration approaches for reduced sulfur compounds (RSCs) were investigated by using thermal desorption coupled with gas chromatography (GC) and pulsed flame photometric detection (PFPD). To evaluate the effects of calibration procedures, gaseous standards of 4 RSCs ($H_2S$, $CH_3SH$, DMS, and DMDS) prepared at 10 ppm level were analyzed at 7 loading injection volumes (40, 60, 80, 100, 160, 240, and 320 ${\mu}L$). The results were then compared with calibration curves made with the Z (zero offset) and N (non-zero offset) method. The concentrations of unknown samples were then quantified by using R (ratio) method in which the slope values are compared between standards and samples. Secondly, in A (average) method, results obtained from a multi-point analysis of unknown samples were also averaged to extract representative values for each sample. Results of both experiments showed that analytical error of low molecular weight components (such as $H_2S$ and $CH_3SH$) was greatly expanded with the Z method. In conclusion, the combined application of N-A method was the more realistic approach to reduce biases in the quantification of RSCs.

지상파 TV의 디지털 전환이 완료되었지만 지상파 라디오는 전송방식을 결정하지 못해 아날로그 방송을 유지하며 표류하고 있는 상태이다. 본 연구에서는 지상파 방송사의 종사자를 대상으로 상호지향성 모델을 토대로 디지털 라디오 전송방식을 결정하는 중요 요인에 대한 인식차이를 살펴보고 쟁점 요인을 도출하였다. 연구결과, 지상파 방송 3사는 디지털 라디오가 점유할 주파수 대역 선택에서 가장 큰 인식의 차이가 있으며 제작과 송출의 병행 여부, 주파수 이용 효율성, 방송 품질과 서비스 정도는 서로 의견의 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 디지털 라디오 방송의 전환에 있어 가장 큰 쟁점 요인은 FM 라디오방송이 사용하는 주파수대역(88-108 MHz)과 지상파 DMB방송 주파수대역(VHF Ch7~13), FM 라디오방송 인접대역(76~88MHz: VHF Ch5~6) 중 어떤 주파수 대역을 디지털 라디오용으로 선택하는지의 문제, 즉 DAB+, HD-Radio, DRM+ 가운데 특정 전송방식을 선택하는 문제로 귀결되었다. 이에 본 연구에서는 제작 송출 병행이 가능하고 송 중계소 1-2개로 송신 효율을 높일 수 있고 신규 사업자 진입이 가능한 방식을 채택함으로써 라디오방송서비스의 품질과 이용자의 만족도를 높일 것을 제안하고자 한다.

Canada's oil sands contain one of the largest reserves of oil in the world. According to recent estimates, there are nearly 180 billion barrels of oil in the Canadian oil sands trapped in a complex mixture of sand, water and clay. More than 40 companies have been currently operating or developing oil sands facilities since the first production in 1967. The process of oil sands upgrading is similar with down stream refinery, but the corrosion environment in upgrading refinery is often more severe than in the refinery because of high chlorides, mineral contents, carbonic acid, heavy viscosity and fouling, higher naphthenic acid [$NA-R(CH_{2})nCOOH$], and greater sulfur contents. Naphthenic acid corrosion (NAC) which is one of the most critical corrosion issues in up & downstream refinery plants was observed for the first time in 1920's in refinery distillation processes of Rumania, Azerbaizan (Baku), Venezuela, and California. As a first API report, the 11th annual meeting stated sources and mechanism of NAC in early 1930's. API has been developing the risk base standards, such as API RP580, 571, and Publication 581 which are based on the worst NAC damage in the world since 2000. Nevertheless not only the NAC phenomena and control in Canadian sands oil process are not much widely known but also there are still no engineering guidances for the Canadian sands oil in API standards. This paper will give NAC phenomina and materials selection guidance against NA environment in Canadian oil sands upgrading processes.

The objective of the present study is to conduct model combustion tests for various injectors to identify their combustion stability characteristics. Three different double swirl coaxial injectors with variation of a recess length have been tested for the comparative study of CH flame structure and dynamic characteristics. Gaseous oxygen and mixture of gaseous methane and propane have been employed for simulating actual propellants used for a full-scale thrust chamber. Upon test results, the direct comparison between various types of injectors can be realized for the selection of the best design among prospective injectors.

In this work, analytical bias arising from the gas chromatographic determination of sulfur compounds was evaluated by the application of direct loop injection method to the GC/PFPD detection of four sulfur compounds including H$_{2}$S, CH$_{3}$SH, DMS, and DMDS. For the proper evaluation of analytical uncertainties involved in GC calibration, we employed two comparative techniques of calibration at fxed concentration injection (CFCI) vs calibration at fixed volume injection (CFVI) method. The results of our study indicate that CFCI method exhibits very poor sensitivity due to the matrix effect with varying injection volumes. On the other hand, as CFVI method overcomes such limitation, it can be used to obtain very accurate quantification of S compounds at their high concentration levels above a few to a few tens ppb.

Graphene is a two-dimensional sp2 layer material. Despite the short history in the empirical synthesis of the graphene layers, the academic/industrial unique features have brought highly significant interest in research and development related to graphene-related materials. In particular, the electrical and optical performances have been targeted towards pre-existing microelectronicand emerging nanoelectronic applications. The graphene synthesis relies on a variety of processing factors, such as temperature, pressure, and gas ratios involving H2, CH4, and Ar, in addition to the inherent selection of copper substrates. The current work places its emphasis on the role of experimental factors in growing graphene thin films. The thermally-grown graphene layers are characterized using physical/chemical analyses, i.e., four point resistance measurements, Raman spectroscopy, and UV-Visible spectrophotometry. Ultimately, an optimization strategy is proposed in growing high-quality graphene layers well-controlled through empirical factors.

The adsorption structure and binding of maleimide (MI) and succinimide (SI) on silver nanocolloidal surfaces have been comparatively investigated by means of pH-varied surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). The two molecules appeared not to adsorb onto Ag surfaces at pH values below 5. The appearance of a ring ν (CH) band at ~3100 $cm^{-1}$ denoted the standing geometry of MI’s aromatic ring on Ag. The absence or weakness of in-plane vibrational modes of MI and SI also supported a perpendicular orientation of MI and SI on Ag from the electromagnetic selection rule. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were employed to examine the vibrational frequencies of MI’s and SI’s neutral and anionic states.

We propose HERAH(Hierarchical Energy-Aware Routing Algorithm for Heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Networks) that is the hierarchical routing algorithm in WSNs and is established on heterogeneous environment. HERAH performs CH selection by considering residual energy level and uses multi-hop communication within cluster. So, HERAH makes improvements in the energy savings and the network lifetime compared with LEACH.

상압 플라즈마 반응기 내에 Ni-$Al_2O_3$와 Ni-$MgAl_2O_4$ 촉매를 충진한 하이브리드 반응기를 이용하여 메탄과 이산화탄소의 전환반응을 진행하였다. 인가전력, 반응가스 유량, 혼합비율 및 반응기 온도 등 다양한 공정변수와 촉매의 충진 유무에 따른 메탄과 이산화탄소의 전환반응 특성이 분석되었다. 촉매의 반응 기여도 분석에서 공정온도를 $400^{\circ}C$까지 올린 경우에도 플라즈마 방전이 없이는 메탄과 이산화탄소의 촉매를 통한 자발적 전환반응이 일어나지 않았다. 이는 촉매를 충진하지 않은 플라즈마 방전만의 전환공정과의 비교를 통하여 확인할 수 있었다. 플라즈마 반응기에 촉매를 적용하는 경우에는 공정의 적절성과 전환처리에 적합한 촉매의 선택이 필수적이다.

Objective: Complete mtDNA D-loop sequences of four Thai indigenous chicken varieties, including Pra-dhu-hang-dam (PD), Leung-hang-khao (LK), Chee (CH), and Dang (DA) were explored for genetic diversity and relationships with their potential ancestor and possible associates to address chicken domestication in Thailand. Methods: A total of 220 complete mtDNA D-loop sequences of the four Thai indigenous chicken varieties were obtained by Sanger direct sequencing of polymerase chain reaction amplicons of 1,231 to 1,232 base pair in size. A neighbor-joining dendrogram was constructed with reference complete mtDNA D-loop sequences of Red Junglefowl (RJF) and those different chicken breeds available on National Center for Biotechnology Information database. Genetic diversity indices and neutrality test by Tajima's D test were performed. Genetic differences both within and among populations were estimated using analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA). Pairwise fixation index ($F_{ST}$) was conducted to evaluated genetic relationships between these varieties. Results: Twenty-three identified haplotypes were classified in six haplogroups (A-E and H) with the majority clustered in haplogroup A and B. Each variety was in multiple haplogroups with haplogroups A, B, D, and E being shared by all studied varieties. The averaged haplotype and nucleotide diversities were, respectively 0.8607 and 0.00579 with non-significant Tajima's D values being observed in all populations. Haplogroup distribution was closely related to that of RJF particularly Gallus gallus gallus (G. g. gallus) and G. g. spadiceus. As denoted by AMOVA, the mean diversity was mostly due to within-population variation (90.53%) while between-population variation (9.47%) accounted for much less. By pairwise $F_{ST}$, LK was most closely related to DA ($F_{ST}=0.00879$) while DA was farthest from CH ($F_{ST}=0.24882$). Conclusion: All 4 Thai indigenous chickens are in close relationship with their potential ancestor, the RJF. A contribution of shared, multiple maternal lineages was in the nature of these varieties, which have been domesticated under neutral selection.
