Fischer-Tropsch synthesis process is a typical method for synthesizing hydrocarbons from syngas and is mainly known as iron (Fe) and cobalt (Co) catalysts. Currently, some technologies such as CTL (Coal to Liquid) and GTL (Gas to Liquid) are operated on a commercial scale depending on the products, but the research to produce light hydrocarbons and middle distillates directly has not been commercialized. Therefore, in this study, domestic studies for direct production of light hydrocarbons and middle distillates are summarized and the effect of catalyst preparation, promoter addition, zeolite combination on product selectivity is investigated.

Background: Physicians tend to overcorrect when applying the acellular dermal matrix for reconstructive option because of volume decrement problem after absorption comparing with initial volume. However, there are no studies on the exact volume decrement and absorption rate with commercial products in South Korea. To figure out absorption rate of acellular dermal matrix product in South Korea (Megaderm), authors designed this experiment. Methods: Nine mice were used and randomly divided into three groups by the time with sacrificing. The implant (Megaderm) was tailored to fit a cuboid form ($1.0cm{\times}1.0cm$ in length and width and 2.0 mm in thickness). A skin incision was made at anterior chest with blade #15 scalpel with exposing the pectoralis major muscle. As hydrated Megaderm was located upon the pectoralis major muscle, the skin was sutured with Ethilon #5-0. After the surgical procedure, each animal group was sacrificed at 4, 8, and 12 weeks, respectively, for biopsies and histological analysis of the implants. All samples were stained with routine hematoxylin and eosin staining and Masson's trichrome staining and the thickness were measured. A measurements were analyzed using Friedman test. Statistically, the correlation between thicknesses of Megaderm before and after implantation was analyzed. Results: After sacrificing the animal groups at postoperative 4, 8, 12 weeks, the mean tissue thickness values were $2.10{\pm}1.03mm$, $2.17{\pm}0.21mm$, and $2.40{\pm}0.20mm$ (p= 0.368), respectively. The remaining ratios after absorption comparing with after initial hydrated Megaderm were 82.7%, 85.4%, and 94.5%, respectively. In histopathological findings, neovascularization and density of collagenous fiber was increased with time. Conclusion: Author's hypothesis was absorption rate of implant would be increased over time. But in this experiment, there is no statistical significance between mean absorption thickness of implant and the time (p= 0.368). Also it can be affected by graft site, blood supply, and animals that were used in the experiment.

As The semiconductor decrease from 10 nanometer to 7 nanometer, It is suggested that "More than Moore" is needed to follow Moore's Law, which has been a guide for the semiconductor industry. Fan-Out Wafer Level Package(FOWLP) is considered as the key to "More than Moore" to lead the next generation in semiconductors, and the reasons are as follows. the fan-out WLP does not require a substrate, unlike conventional wire bonding and flip-chip bonding packages. As a result, the thickness of the package reduces, and the interconnection becomes shorter. It is easy to increase the number of I / Os and apply it to the multi-layered 3D package. However, FOWLP has many issues that need to be resolved in order for mass production to become feasible. One of the most critical problem is the warpage problem in a process. Due to the nature of the FOWLP structure, the RDL is wired to multiple layers. The warpage problem arises when a new RDL layer is created. It occurs because the solder ball reflow process is exposed to high temperatures for long periods of time, which may cause cracks inside the package. For this reason, we have studied warpage in the FOWLP structure using commercial simulation software through the implementation of the reflow process. Simulation was performed to reproduce the experiment of products of molding compound company. Young's modulus and poisson's ratio were found to be influenced by the order of influence of the factors affecting the distortion. We confirmed that the lower young's modulus and poisson's ratio, the lower warpage.

Phospholipase D has great commercial value due to its transphosphatidylation products that can be used in the food and medicine industries. In order to construct a strain for use in the production of PLD, we employed a series of combinatorial strategies to increase PLD expression in Bacillus subtilis WB600. These strategies included screening of signal peptides, selection of different plasmids, and optimization of the sequences of the ribosome-binding site (RBS) and the spacer region. We found that using the signal peptide amyE results in the highest extracellular PLD activity (11.3 U/ml) and in a PLD expression level 5.27-fold higher than when the endogenous signal peptide is used. Furthermore, the strain harboring the recombinant expression plasmid pMA0911-PLD-amyE-his produced PLD with activity enhanced by 69.03% (19.1 U/ml). We then used the online tool \RBS Calculator v2.0 to optimize the sequences of the RBS and the spacer. Using the optimized sequences resulted in an increase in the enzyme activity by about 26.7% (24.2 U/ml). In addition, we found through a transfer experiment that the retention rate of the recombinant plasmid after 5 generations was still 100%. The final product, phosphatidylserine (PS), was successfully detected, with transphosphatidylation selectivity at 74.6%. This is similar to the values for the original producer.

3D printing technology in the construction field is currently being developed and commercialized actively in foreign countries, but the development of material and equipment is underway as an initial research stage in Korea. It is necessary to implement commercialization through the introduction of 3D printing technology in the construction field as soon as possible in Korea, but there is no guideline for suitable equipment and materials in Korea at present. Therefore, in order to help prepare for commercialization, it is necessary to provide data such as equipment size and materials suitable for commercialization at the initial stage. This study investigates the types, specifications, and applications of equipment that are being used overseas to provide the equipment type and material cost required in the initial stage of commercialization in Korea. Using the surveyed data, it was possible to calculate the advantages and disadvantages of the equipment type and specification, and the cost of materials used. As a result of the analysis, Gantry type is suitable for the domestic commercialization, and the standard of the output area is $100m^2$ and the extrusion amount of $250m^3/sec$ is proposed, and the material cost of the commercial product is 20thousand won. The suggestions in this study will help to plan the construction of products and equipments to commercialize 3D printing technology in construction field in the future.

This study tried to evaluate the official Korea Red Ginseng(Hongsam) trade in 19th century. The Hongsam trade activities of the 19th century also show that the collected amount of Posam taxes (Hongsam taxes) alone outweigh the amount of cost spent during the same time period to launch tributary actions. It is quite obvious that the Chosun dynasty, supported by the developed techniques of ginseng cultivation and preservation methods, managed to stop the silver leaks while also stimulating the domestic commerce, handicraft business and mining operations, by exporting Hongsam to China and importing raw material and other finished products in return. The Chosun government also managed to secure considerable amount of marginal profit which at times mounted to almost 2 hundred thousand Nyangs of silver during the latter half of the 19th century thanks to this Hongsam trade activities, and accumulated the hoof-shaped pieces of silver ingot at the office of Ministry of Taxation. Even under the mostly undesirable political environment featuring unjustified deeds of the powerful houses, the commercial activities were being strongly maintained, and the transactions conducted by merchants of the Gaeseong, Euiju areas and the capital city were prospering.

Conventional bake-hardenable(BH) steels should be annealed at higher temperatures because of the addition of Ti or/and Nb which forms carbides and raises recrystallization start temperature. In this study, the development of new BH steels without Ti or Nb addition has been reviewed. The new BH steels have nearly same mechanical properties as the conventional BH steels even though it is annealed at lower temperature. The steels also show smaller deviation of the mechanical properties than that of the conventional BH steels because of the conarol of solute carbon content during steel making processes. The deviation of mechanical properties in conventional BH steels is directly dependent on the deviation of solute carbon which is greatly influenced by the amount of the carbide formers in conventional BH steels. Less alloy addition in the newly developed BH steels gives economical benefits. By taking the advantage of sulfur and/or nitrogen which scarenge in Interstitial-Free or conventional BH steels, fine manganese sulfides or nano size copper sulfides were designed to precipitate, and result in refined ferrite grains. Aluminum nitrides used as a precipitation hardening element in the developed steels were also and resull in fine and well dispersed. As a result, the developed steels with less production cost and reduced deviation of mechanical properties are under commercial production. Note that the developed BH steels are registered as a brand name of MAFE(R) and/or MAF-E(R).
