The oxo-nitrosyl complexes (n-Bu4N)2[M4O12Mo(NO)2{RC(NH2)NHO}2{RC(NH)NO}2] (M=Mo, W; R=(CH3)2CH, n-CH3CH2CH2) have been prepared by the reactions of monomeric complex containing {Mo(NO)2}2+ and polyoxometalates with isobutyl- and n-butylamidoxime. The prepared complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, infrared, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and UV-visible spectroscopy. These complexes contain two {M2O5}2+ [M=Mo, W] cores and a central {Mo(NO)2}2+ core. The {Mo(NO)2}2+ unit was the formally cis type and C2v symmetry in geometric structure. The two {M2O5}2+ cores and a central {Mo(NO)2}2+ core were not nearly interacted with electronic localization, which were identified by spectroscopy.

The adsorption and desorption behaviors of NO and $N_2O$ over two mixed oxide catalysts, AlCoPd (1/1/0.05) and AlCoFe (1/1/2), have been investigated for the lean $NO_x$ trap applications. The catalysts showed good adsorption capabilities for NO and $N_2O$ without needing oxidation step. The adsorption decreased a lot when they are co-adsorbed with oxygen. While NO kept high adsorbability and selectivity with respect to oxygen, those of $N_2O$ decreased sharply. From the TPD results, NO and $N_2O$ are considered to decompose into nitrogen and oxygen in the higher temperature range and the oxygen seems to be strongly attached to the catalysts even at high temperature.

$NO_x$ emissions from diesel vehicles have been regarded as a main cause of high $NO_2$ concentration in metropolitan area. Recent studies have shown that the on-road $NO_x$ emissions of diesel vehicles are quite higher than the emission limits specified with the pre-defined test method for emission certification. To reduce air pollutants effectively, the discrepancy of emissions in certification and real-driving conditions should be tackled. In this study, the real-driving emissions have been estimated with portable emission measurement system (PEMS). The results of this study have shown that the on-road $NO_x$ emissions from diesel vehicles have been decreased as the introduction of stricter emission regulation, EURO-6, but additional reduction should be still required and robust technologies should be applied to control $NO_x$ in real-driving conditions. RDE-LDV (Real Driving Emission - Light Duty Vehicles) test method being developed in the European Union can represent excessive on-road $NO_x$ emissions of diesel vehicles as applied emission technologies and can be a solution to remove discrepant $NO_x$ emissions between certification and Korean real-driving conditions. Among the $NO_x$ reduction technologies for EURO-6 diesel vehicles, selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system has shown the better performance than lean $NO_x$ trap (LNT) system to control on-road $NO_x$ emissions. Implementing RDE-LDV will require vehicle manufacturers to adopt the more effective $NO_x$ reduction technology in real driving conditions.

Objective : This study was designed to investigate the effect of Hyeolbuchukeo-tang (HCT) on NO production and the molecular mechanism of NO production modulated by HCT in the primary VSMC (vascular smooth muscle cells). Method : Primary VSMC was established from aorta and cultured VSMC used in this study. NO production of VSMC was assayed by Griess reagent and the expression of iNOS gene was assayed by Western, RT-PCR. Result : $TNF-{\gamma}$ induced NO production, but $IFN-{\gamma}$ or HCT alone did not induce NO production in cultured VSMC. However, $IFN-{\gamma}$ or HCT potentiated NO production in $TNF-{\gamma}-treated$ VSMC in a time- and dose-dependent manner. $TNF-{\gamma}$ induced the iNOS gene expression corresponding to NO production in $TNF-{\gamma}-treated$ VSMC. HCT potentiated NO production in $TNF-{\gamma}-treated$ VSMC by about 20%, but HCT did not increase the level of iNOS mRNA in $TNF-{\gamma}-treated$ VSMC. HCT slightly increased the level of iNOS protein in $TNF-{\gamma}-treated$ VSMC. Calcium ionophore A23187 decreased NO production in $TNF-{\gamma}-treated$ VSMC, but HCT attenuated the effect of A23187. Conclusion : As NO is deeply involved in the development of arteriosclerosis and dilation of blood vessels, drugs or chemicals modulating NO production in VSMC could be used for preventing and treating arteriosclerosis. Considering the effect of HCT on the modulation of NO production in VSMC, MCT has a potential capacity for preventing and treating diseases of the circulation system including arteriosclerosis.

The contention overhead on the same channel in an NoC architecture can significantly increase a communication delay due to the simultaneous communication requests that occur. To reduce the overall overhead, we propose task-to-tile binding techniques for an NoC-based manycore platform, whereby it is assumed that the task mapping decision has already made. Since the NoC architecture may have multiple memory tiles as its size grows, memory clustering is used to balance the load of memory by making applications access different memory tiles. We assume that the information on the communication overhead of each application is known since it is specified in a dataflow task graph. Using this information, this paper proposes two heurisitics that perform binding of multiple tasks at once based on a proper memory clustering method. Experiments with an NoC simulator prove that the proposed heurisitic shows performance gains that are 25% greater than that of the previous binding heuristic.

The steady-state kinetics of the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of $NO_X$ with $NH_3$ has been investigated over a commercial ${V_2}{O_5}/TiO_2$ catalyst. In order to account for the influence of transport effects the kinetics are coupled with a fully transient two-phase 1D+1D monolith channel model. The Langmuir-Hinshelwood (L-H) mechanism is adopted to describe the steady-state kinetic behavior of the ${V_2}{O_5}/TiO_2$ catalyst. The reaction rate expressions are based on previously reported papers and are modified to fit the experimental data. The steady-state chemical reaction scheme used in the present mathematical model has been validated extensively with experimental data of selective $NO_X$ reduction efficiency for a wide range of inlet conditions such as space velocity, oxygen concentrations, water concentration, and $NO_2/NO$ ratio. The parametric investigations are performed to examine how the $NH_3$ slip from a SCR $DeNO_X$ catalyst and the conversion of $NO_X$ are affected by the reaction temperature, $NH_3/NO_X$ feed ratio, and space velocity for feed gas compositions with $NO_2/NO_X$ ratios of 0 and 0.5.

This paper tried to find out NO generation and removal mechanisms in the space of the atmospheric pulsed barrier discharge using laser induced fluorescence method, which is a very effective approach to the measurement of spatio-temporal density of specific molecules. The propagation velocity of the primary streamer reaches about $2.7{\times}10^6$[m/s] and the secondary streamer is produced in the vicinity of positive electrode after the primary streamer finished. In this work, pulse Nd:Yag and Dye lasers are used for generating the specific wavelength of 226[nm], which is possible to excite NO molecules into $A^2{\Sigma}^+{\rightarrow}X^2{\prod}$(0,0) and fluorescence signals as the transition of $A^2{\Sigma}^+{\leftarrow}X^2$(0,2) is measured. For the effective removal of NO molecules in the plasma discharge process, the lower oxygen contents are needed and the influence of secondary streamer for the reduction mechanism of NO molecules is important

The genetic relationships of Korean native Orostachys species collected from various regions were analysed using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) method. Eighteen Orostachys species analysed with UPGMA were clustered into three groups A, B, and C. However, four species were not clustered into any group. O. iwarenge species in group A (No. 18-No. 22) showed low similarity with 66.3-73.9% according to the cluster analysis. O. malacophyllus species in group B (No. 12-No. 17) showed low similarity with 66.7-83.7% according to the cluster analysis. The similarity coefficient value of O. japonicus (No. 3-No. 8) except Anmyeondo collected variety (No. 9) showed higher level with 84.2-92.3% than O. iwarenge or O. malacophyllus. Therefore, O. japonicus is thought to be genetically stable, and have less regional variation.

In this study, effects of temperature, NSR, and oxygen concentration on the $NO_x$ removal efficiency of an SNCR process were investigated experimentally as well as numerically using CHEMKIN-II program. The NO removal efficiency increased with the reactor temperature under oxygen-free condition, whereas when the oxygen concentration was 4%, the NO removal efficiency showed a maximum value at $900{\sim}950^{\circ}C$. The pressure of oxygen was shown to enhance the NO removal at low temperature. Regardless of the oxygen concentration, the NO removal efficiency increased with NSR. The temperature and NSR-dependencies of the NO removal efficiency predicted by CHEMKIN-II simulations were similar to that of the experimental results.

The combustion characteristics of an EV (Environmental Vortex) burner (double-cone burner) adopted in a gas turbines are numerically investigated. The mixing of fuel and air is analyzed for reduction of NO emission. To predict the correlation between NO emission and fuel-air mixedness, 1-step and 2-step chemistry models are adopted. The results calculated by 1-step chemistry showed that NO emissions increased by 2% in the case of degraded mixedness and by 169% in the case of improved mixedness, where the temperature in the flame zone was overestimated upstream of the cone. However, the corresponding results calculated by 2-step chemistry showed that NO emission increased by 3% and decreased by 5%, where the flame zone was not formed inside the cone. The latter results agree well with the experimental ones indicating an increase of 63% and decrease of 11% in the respective cases. Despite quantitative errors, NO emissions can be predicted reasonably by the application of the 2-step chemistry model adopted here and design modification of burner for NO reduction can be proposed based on the numerical data.
