Four esters of succinic and maleic acid were synthesized, separated by thin-layer chromatography (TLC), and identified using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS). A comparison of matrix materials showed that 2,6-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,6-DHB) yielded a greater ionization efficiency than 2,5-DHB prior to TLC separation. The location of each ester sample on the TLC plate was estimated by comparing the developed plate with a duplicate plate that had been visualized by immersion in a $KMnO_4$ solution. Generally, mass spectra obtained from the $KMnO_4$-visualized plate were relatively poor. Reproducible mass spectra with high peak abundance were difficult to obtain using the 2,6-DHB matrix from crude synthetic esters extracted from the TLC plates. Significant improvements in both reproducibility and sensitivity were realized by using pencil lead as the MALDI matrix. The current methodology will be beneficial to organic chemists since it can provide a guideline for simple and rapid characterization of small organic compounds.

본 연구는 해상에서 근접하여 계류된 직사각형 박스 형상의 두 바지선을 대상으로 유체역학적 상호작용으로 인한 선체운동 응답특성을 분석하기 위하여 수치시뮬레이션을 실시하였다. 이 수치시뮬레이션 실험에서는 DNV-GL의 SESAM 수치해석솔루션을 사용하여 결합된 강성 메트릭스항(coupled stiffness matrix terms)을 다중물체 모드(multiple body modes)의 surge 방향에 추가하였고, 실험에 적용한 바지선 모델의 1차 방사 및 산란 영향을 계산하기 위하여 퍼텐셜 이론을 적용하였다. 실험 결과, 두 바지선의 횡간격 20 m, 횡파 실험조건 경우에 1.3 rad/s에서 실험선의 피난효과(sheltering effect)가 나타나지 않았다. 실험 모델 상호간 횡간격의 영향은 종파와 천수역 실험 조건에서 분명하게 나타났지만, sway force는 횡파일 경우에 두 실험 모델선과의 접근거리 간격에 영향을 받았다. 실험모델의 횡간격이 좁아지면 종파와 사파의 경우에 sway, heave 운동과 sway force의 피크는 높은 주파수대로 이동하였다. 수심이 10 m일 때 풍하측 바지선의 sway 운동은 횡파와 사파의 경우에 0.2-0.8 rad/s 주파수대에서 큰 차이를 보였으며, 입사파의 방향이 달라져도 sway force의 피크는 보다 낮은 주파수대에서 나타났다.

As the interface bonding phenomenon between the matrix and the reinforcements has a large effect on the mechanical properties of MMCs, a sugestion of the strength analysis technique considering the residual stress and the interface bonding phenomenon is very important for the design of pans and the estimation of fatigue behavior. In this paper the three dimensional finite element anaysis is performed during the elasto-plastic deformation of the particulate reinforced metal matrix composites. It was analyzed with the volume fractions in view of microscale. Bonding strength. interface separation and matrix void growth between the matrix and the reinforcements will be predicted on deformation under tensile loading. An interface seperation is estimated by the fracture criterion which is a critical value of generalized plastic work per unit volume. The shape of the reinforcement is assumed to be a perfect sphere. And the type of the reinforcement distribution is assumed as FCC array. The thermal residual stress in MMCs is induced by the heat treatment. It is included at the simulation as an initial residual stress. The element birth and death method of the ANSYS program is used for the estimation of the interface bonding strength, void generation and propagation. It is assumed that the fracture in the matrix region begin to occur under the external loading when the plastic work per unit volume is equal to the critical value. The fracture strain will be defined. The experimental data of the extruded $SiC_p$>/606l Al composites are compared with the theoretical results.

본 논문은 비음수 행렬 인수분해(NMF)를 이용한 음성향상 기법을 다루고 있다. 음성과 잡음에서 적절한 훈련을 통해 각각의 기저(basis) 행렬을 구하고 이 행렬들을 이용하여 두 음원을 분리 하는 것이다. 그 중에서도 음성향상의 성능은 사용하게 되는 기저 행렬에 따라 크게 달라짐을 보인다. 기존의 독립적으로 구한 음성 기저 행렬에 비해서, 잡음 데이터를 복원하는데 부적합한 방향으로 최적화시킨 음성 기저 행렬을 사용하였을 때 더 높은 음성향상 성능을 보임을 실험으로 확인하였다. 이 때 잡음 데이터의 복원 오차 자체를 크게 해주는 방향과 해당 인코딩 행렬(encoding matrix) 원소의 값을 작게 해주는 두 가지 방법을 적용하여 비교하였다. 좀 더 음성 복원에만 특화된 기저 행렬을 구함으로서 음성 기저 행렬이 잡음 데이터 복원에 사용되는 것을 최소화 하였다. 실험 결과에서는 perceptual evaluation speech quality값과 signal to distortion ratio를 지표로 사용하였고, 기존 기법에서 사용하는 기저 행렬 보다 더 높은 성능을 보임을 확인 하였다.

This study evaluated the feasibility of combined use of physical separation and soil washing to remediate heavy metals (Pb and Cu) contaminated soil in a military shooting range. The soils were classified into two types based on the level of heavy metal concentrations: a higher contaminated soil (HCS) with Pb and Cu concentrations of 6,243 mg/kg and 407 mg/kg, respectively, and a lower contaminated soil (LCS) with their concentrations of 1,658 mg/kg and 232 mg/kg. Pb level in both soils exceeded the regulatory limit (700 mg/kg), and its concentration generally increased with decreasing soil particle size. However, in some cases, Pb concentrations increased with increasing soil particle size, presumably due to the presence of residues of bullets in the soil matrix. As a pretreatment step, a shaking table was used for physical separation of soil to remove bullet residues while fractionating the contaminated soils into different sizes. The most effective separation and fractionation were achieved at vibration velocity of 296 rpm/min, the table slope of 7.0°, and the separating water flow rate of 23 L/min. The efficiency of ensuing soil washing process for LCS was maximized by using 0.5% HCl with the soil:washing solution mixing ratio of 1:3 for 1 hr treatment. On the contrary, HCS was most effectively remediated by using 1.0% HCl with the same soil:solution mixing ratio for 3 hr. This work demonstrated that the combined use of physical separation and soil washing could be a viable option to remediate soils highly contaminated with heavy metals.

The novelty of this study resides in the fabrication of stoichiometric and stress-reduced $Si_3N_4/SiO_2/Si_3N_4$ triple-layer membrane sieves. The membrane sieves were designed to be very flat and thin, mechanically stress-reduced, and stable in their electrical and chemical properties. All insulating materials are deposited stoichiometrically by a low-pressure chemical vapor deposition system. The membranes with a thickness of 0.4 ${\mu}m$ have pores with a diameter of about 1 ${\mu}m$. The device is fabricated on a 6" silicon wafer with the semiconductor processes. We utilized the membrane sieves for plasma separations from human whole blood. To enhance the separation ability of blood plasma, an agarose gel matrix was attached to the membrane sieves. We could separate about 1 ${\mu}L$ of blood plasma from 5 ${\mu}L$ of human whole blood. Our device can be used in the cell-based biosensors or analysis systems in analytical chemistry.

This paper addresses nonnegative independent component analysis (NICA), with the aim to realize the blind separation of nonnegative well-grounded independent source signals, which arises in many practical applications but is hardly ever explored. Recently, Bertrand and Moonen presented a multiplicative NICA (M-NICA) algorithm using multiplicative update and subspace projection. Based on the principle of the mutual correlation minimization, we propose another novel cost function to evaluate the diagonalization level of the correlation matrix, and apply the multiplicative exponentiated gradient (EG) descent update to it to maintain nonnegativity. An efficient approach referred to as the EG-NICA algorithm is derived and its validity is confirmed by numerous simulations conducted on different types of source signals. Results show that the separation performance of the proposed EG-NICA algorithm is superior to that of the previous M-NICA algorithm, with a better unmixing accuracy. In addition, its convergence speed is adjustable by an appropriate user-defined learning rate.

We have studied the migration behavior of single-stranded DNA using capillary gel electrophoresis under various conditions. It was found that optimum electric fields should be less than 150 V/cm for the good tradeoff between the separation time and the resolution. It seems that the gel matrix with the combination of different polymer average molecular weights is important to extend the maximum readable DNA bases. The total gel concentration less than 3.1% in the mixed gel system showed good separation efficiency up to 600 bases. The best result was obtained with the poy(ethylene)oxide (PEO) gel concentration of 1.2% of Mr 8,000,000 and 1.8% of Mr 600,000. We observed that the capillary length between 50 cm to 100 cm (effective length) should be employed for the optimization between the total DNA migration time and the maximum readable length. A trizma base-boric acid-ethlyenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) (TBE) buffer was commonly used for DNA sequencing, but we found that 3-[tris(hydroxymethyl)methyl amino]-1-propane sulfonic acid (TAPS) buffer worked as well for the single-stranded DNA separation. Especially, TAPS buffer showed a good resolution for very short DNA bases (1 to 30 bases).

Blind Source Separation (BSS) is a technique used to separate supposed independent sources of signals from a given set of observations. In this paper, the High Exploration Particle Swarm Optimization (HEPSO) algorithm, which is an enhancement of the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm, has been used to separate a set of source signals. Compared to PSO algorithm, HEPSO algorithm depends on two additional operators. The first operator is based on the multi-crossover mechanism of the genetic algorithm while the second one relies on the bee colony mechanism. Both operators have been employed to update the velocity and the position of the particles respectively. Thus, they are used to find the optimal separating matrix. The proposed method enhances the overall efficiency of the standard PSO in terms of good exploration and performance. Based on many tests realized on speech and music signals supplied by the BSS demo, experimental results confirm the robustness and the accuracy of the introduced BSS technique.
