The objectives of this paper are to present data to illustrate how an advanced digestion process, two-phase digestion, can provide superior performance in terms of waste stabilization efficiency and net energy recovery. As the result, it is possible to separate enrichment cultures of acidogenic and methanogenic organisms in isolated environments by kinetic control involving manipulation of dilution rates. In single-phase digestion process, HRT and COD loading for effective operation were 14.29 days and 2.33kg $COD/m^3$ day, but two-phase digestion may be conducted efficiently at 7 days of HRT and 5.71kg $COD/m^3$ day of loading. Data from this studies showed that the two-phase process is better than single-phase digestion under all test conditions when compared on the bases of gas yield and production rate, reductions of COD and VS, buffer capacity, and unconverted volatile acids in the effluent.

In this paper, an infinite impulse response locally recurrent neural network (IIR-LRNN) is employed for modelling the dynamics of the Lead Bismuth Eutectic eXperimental Accelerator Driven System (LBE-XADS). The network is trained by recursive back-propagation (RBP) and its ability in estimating transients is tested under various conditions. The results demonstrate the robustness of the locally recurrent scheme in the reconstruction of complex nonlinear dynamic relationships.

Low-grade waste heat has generally been discarded in industry due to lack of efficient recovery methods. In recent years, organic Rankine cycle(ORC) has become a field of intense research and appears as a promising technology for conversion of heat into useful work of electricity. In this work thermodynamic performance of ORC with superheating of vapor is comparatively assessed for various working fluids. Special attention is paid to the effects of system parameters such as the evaporating temperature on the characteristics of the system such as maximum possible work extraction from the given source, volumetric flow rate per 1 kW of net work and quality of the working fluid at turbine exit as well as thermal efficiency.

The mutual separation behavior of actinides and rare earths in a countercurrent multistage reductive extraction system was predicted by computer calculation. The distribution information for actinides and rare earths in the reductive extraction systems of LiCl-KCl/Cd and LiCl-KCl/Bi was collected from literature and then it was used for the calculation of a multistage extraction. The results of the concentration profiles throughout the extraction cascade, recovery yields of various metal solutes, and separation factors between the actinides and rare earths were calculated. The effects of the major process parameters, such as reducing agent content in the metal phase, number of stages, and salt/metal flow ratio, etc., on the extraction behavior were also examined.

Uranium and plutonium are required to be accounted in spent fuel head-end and major recovery area in pyro-process for safeguards purpose. The possibility of neutron resonance technique, as a nondestructive analysis, was simulated on isotopic fissile analysis for large scale process. Neutron resonance technique has advantage to distinguish uranium from plutonium directly in mixture. Simulation was performed on U235 and Pu239 assay in spent fuel and for scoping examination of assembly type. The resonance energies were determined for U235 and Pu239. The linearity in the neutron transmission was examined for the selected resonance energies. In addition, the limit for detection was examined by changing sample density, thickness and content for actual application. Several factors were proposed for neutron production and the moderated neutron source was simulated for effective and efficient transmission measurement. From the simulation results, neutron resonance technique is promising to analyze U235 and Pu239 for spent fuel assembly. An accurate fissile assay will contribute to an increased safeguards for the pyro-processing system and international credibility on the reuse of fissile materials in the fuel cycle.

Two plied twine, of which yarn is cored by abacca fibers and wrapped by polyethylen fibers, has been used for the material to web the wing net in the anchovy boat seine. This conventional twine revealed the disadvantage of which tensile strength goes from bad to worse. To improve the disadvantage, authors developed the new twine which is plied with three yarns, each yarn is cored by polyvinyliden chloride fibers and wrapped by polyethylen fibers. To compare the physical properties of the two kinds of twine, some factors are valued and the following results are found. 1. The conventional twine shrinks 4 to 7 percent when it was soaked in fresh water for 24 hours, whereas the improved one shrinks little. 2. The specific gravity of the conventional twine is valued 1. 04 to 1. 025 after soaking the twine in fresh water for 24 hours, in spite of including abacca to make the gravity heavier than that of sea water, whereas the improved ones are valued 1. 06 to 1. 09 without soaking. 3. The stiffness of the two kinds of twine differs little. 4. The breaking strength and the elastic recovery of the improved twine are greater than the conventional one. 5. Mesh size of the actual fishing net, webbed by the improved twine and employed in commercial fishing for 6 months, varied little.

The main thing that IT operation managers consider is protecting assets of corporation from system failure and disaster. Therefore, this research proposed a backup system for a disaster recovery. Previous backup method is that if database update occurs, this record is saved in redo log, and if the size of record file is over than expected, this file is saved in archive log in order. Thus, it is possible to occur errors of data loss from the process of data backup which change in real time while changes of database occur. Suggested backup system is back redo log up to database of transaction log in real time, and back a record that can be omitted from previous backup method up to archive log. When recover the data, it is possible to recover redo log in real time online, and it minimizes data loss. Also, throughout multi thread processing method data recovery is performed and it is designed that system performance is improved. To verify stability of backup system CPN(Coloured Petri Net) is introduced, and each step of backup system is displayed in diagram form, and th e stability is verified based on the definition and theorem of CPN.

The study about maturity and spawning of Korean Mandarin fish, Siniperca scherzeri collected using the set net and gill net in Soyangho Lake from April to November 2014 was conducted. The number of individuals was 401 (female: 204, male: 197). The total length of females ranged from 113 mm to 365 mm and that of males was from 140 mm to 342 mm. The water temperature in May which is the start of spawning season indicated about $15^{\circ}C$ and gradually increased to July ($26^{\circ}C$). Gonadosomatic index (GSI) of females indicated 2.3%, 4.6% and 3.1%, respectively, in May to July. Males' value showed the similar pattern recording 8.0%, 6.6% and 4.5% in the same time. According to histological observations of gonadal tissue, the most of female in May had the gonadal tissue of maturing and mature stage. And the ovary of June was mostly in the stage of ripe and spawning and a number of individuals in July was recovery stage. In the case of male, a number of males in May showed in the stage of mature. The testis of June showed that mature sperm was releasing. And the testis of July was mostly in recovery stage. The total length at 50% group maturity was estimated 245.16 mm. As shown in the above, the main spawning period of S. scherzeri was May to June.
