Flammable compounds are indispensible in domestic as well as in industrial fields as fuel, solvent and raw materials. The fire and explosion properties necessary for safe storage, transport, process design and operation of handling flammable substances are lower explosive limits(LEL), upper explosive limits(UEL), flash point, fire point, AIT(auto ignition temperature), MIE(minimum ignition energy), MOC(minimum oxygen concentration) and heats of combustion.

The thermochemical parameters for safe handling, storage, transport, operation and process design of flammable substances are explosion limit, flash point, autoignition temperatures(AITs), minimum oxygen concentration(MOC), heat of combustion etc.. Also it is necessary to know explosion limit at high temperature and pressure. For the safe handling of benzene, lower explosion limit(LEL) at $25^{\circ}C$, the temperature dependence of the explosion limits and flash point were investigated. And the AITs for benzene were experimented. By using the literatures data, the lower and upper explosion limits of benzene recommended 1.3 vol% and 8.0 vol%, respectively. This study measured relationship between the AITs and the ignition delay times by using ASTM E659-78 apparatus for benzene, and the experimental AIT of benzene was $583^{\circ}C$. The new equations for predicting the temperature dependence of the explosion limits of benzene is proposed. The values calculated by the proposed equations were a good agreement with the literature data.

In this paper we compare linear and non-linear inter-ference cancellation for systems employing code division multi-ple access (CDMA) techniques. Specifically, we examine linear and non-linear parallel interference cancellation(also called multi-stage cancellation) in relationship to other multiuser detection al-gorithms. We show the explicit relationship between parallel inter-ference cancellation and the decorrelator (or direct matrix inver-sion). This comparison gives insight into the performance of paral-lel interference cancellation (PIC) and leads to vetter approaches. We also show that non-linear PIC approaches with explicit chan-nel setimation can provide performance improvement over linear PIC, especially when using soft non-linear symbol estimates. The application of interference cancellation to non-linear modulation techniques is also presented along with a discussion on minimum mean-squared error(MMSE) symbol estimation techniques. These are shown to further improve the performance of parallel cancella-tion.

Explosion limit is one of the major combustion properties used to determine the fire and explosion hazards of the flammable substances. In this study, the lower explosion limit(LEL) and upper explosion limit(UEL) of ethers were predicted by using the heat of combustion and stoichiometric coefficients. The values calculated by the proposed equations agreed with literature data within a few percent. From the given results, using the proposed methodology, it is possible to predict the explosion limits of the other flammable ethers.

아세트알데히드는 석유화학관련시설에서 많이 배출되는 것으로 알려져 있으며, 환경부 고시(제2001-36호)에 이를 포함한 37개 VOC 규제제품 및 물질로 명시되어 있다. 또한, 현재의 8개 악취물질에도 포함되어 있어 강력히 규제하고 있는 물질이다. 아세트알데히드의 주요 특성으로서 최소감지농도는 0.21ppm, LEL(Lower Explosive Limit)은 4％로 반응성이 매우 크며, 액상 및 증기상에서 가연성이 매우 큰 물질이다. 이러한 물질을 처리하기 위해 직접연소법과 촉매연소법을 이용하여 처리하고 있으나, 직접연소법을 이용하는 소각로의 경우 산업폐기물을 소각하는 과정에서 아세트알데히드가 배출되고 있어 아세트알데히드의 주 배출원 이며 고온처리로 인한 비용부담의 단점이 있다.

Targeted glycoproteomics is an effective way to discover disease-associated glycoproteins in proteomics and serial affinity chromatography (SAC) using lectin and glycan-targeting antibodies shows glycan diversity on the captured glycoproteins. This study suggests a way to determine glycan heterogeneity and structural analysis on the post-translationally modified proteins through serial affinity column set (SACS) using four Lycopersicon esculentum lectin (LEL) columns. The great advantage of this method is that it differentiates between glycoproteins on the basis of their binding affinity. Through this study, some proteins were identified to have glycoforms with different affinity on a single glycoprotein. It will be particularly useful in determining biomarkers in which the disease-specific feature is a unique glycan, or a group of glycans.

By using literature data, the empirical equations have been derived which describe the interrelationships of explosion and other related properties of n-alcohols. The properties which have been correlated data are : lower and upper explosive limits, heats of combustion, carbon numbers. Also, the new equation for predicting the temperature dependence of lower explosive limits(LEL) of n-alcohols on the basis of explosive limits, heats of combustion, flame propagation theory and mathematical method is proposed. The values calculated by the proposed equations were a good agreement with literature data within a few percent. From a given explosive properties. by using the proposed equations, it is possible to predict the other properties. It is hoped eventually that this method will permit the estimation of the explosive properties of alcohol with improved accuracy and the broader application for other compounds.

From a given explosive properties, by using the proposed equations, it is possible to predict to the fire and explosion characteristics for the other chlorinated hydrocarbons.

The aim of this study is to investigate the temperature dependence of the lower explosive limit(LEL) at elevated temperature. The temperature dependence of the lower explosive limit is one of the significant indices of flammability and combustibility. By using the literature data, the new equations for predicting the temperature dependence of the lower explosive limits for paraffinic hydrocarbons are proposed. The values calculated by the proposed equations were a good agreement with the literature data. It is hoped eventually that this proposed equations will support the use of the prediction for the lower explosive limit and the flash points of the flammable mixtures.
