Four parallel $A^2/O$ systems maintaining an MLSS of 3,000 mg/L were operated to investigate the effects of varying an HRT of anoxic reactors and packing Bio contact media (BCM, fixed beds) in aerobic reactors on organic matter removal and nitrification/denitrification efficiencies. All systems were operated under conditions that the external recycle ratio was kept 0.5 Q while the internal recycle ratio was changed 1.0 Q to 1.5 Q with that $NH_4-N$ concentration of feed was increased to 40 mg/L by adding $NH_4Cl$. In terms of TSS and TCODcr removal efficiency, both systems with BCM and a system without BCM, respectively, had a similar level of the removal efficiency under varied HRTs of anoxic reactors (0.6 hr, 1.3 hr, 2 hr, 2 hr; control, without BC M) showing that varying an HRT of anoxic reactors did not affect the removal efficiency. While SCODcr removal efficiency of systems with BCM was improved approximately 4~5% at the same HRT of anoxic reactor, the removal efficiency of system with BCM was slightly decreased by reducing an HRT of anoxic reactor. The nitrification efficiency for both systems with BCM and a system without BCM was above 94% showing that packing BCM in aerobic reactors and varying an HRT of anoxic reactors did not affect the efficiency significantly despite of increasing $NH_4-N$ concentration of feed. The denitrification efficiency increased from 81.4% to 85.4% at system with BCM while the efficiency decreased when a shorter HRT of anoxic reactors was kept. The excellent effluent quality for $NO_3-N$ concentration was observed although the $NO_3-N$ concentration increased in anoxic reactors that $NH_4-N$ concentration of feed sufficiently converted into nitrate through nitrification. As a result, packing 20% BCM to an aerobic reactor with HRT of 1.3 hr of anoxic reactor in $A^2/O$ system can achieve a similar level of nitrogen removal efficiency in $A^2/O$ system which the aerobic reactor had no BCM and HRT of 2 hr for anoxic reactor is maintained.

Objective: Double microcatheter technique (dMC) can be the alternative to Single microcatheter technique (sMC) for challenging cases, but there is lack of studies comparing dMC to sMC especifically for small ruptured aneurysms. Our objective was to compare the safety and efficacy of dMC to sMC in treating small (≤5 mm) and tiny (≤3 mm) ruptured aneurysms. Methods: This study focused on 91 out of 280 patients who had ruptured aneurysms and underwent either single or double microcatheter coil embolization. These patients were treated with either single or double microcatheter coil embolization. We divided the patients into two groups based on the procedural method and evaluated clinical features and outcomes. Subgroup analyses were conducted specifically for tiny aneurysms, comparing the two methods, and within the dMC group, we also examined whether the aneurysm was tiny or not. In addition, univariate logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the impact of coil packing density. Results: The mean values for most outcome measures in the dMC group were higher than those in the sMC group, but these differences did not reach statistical significance (coil packing density, 45.739% vs. 39.943%; procedural complication, 4.17% vs. 11.94%; recanalization, 8.3% vs. 10.45%; discharge discharge modified Rankin Scale (mRS), 1.83 vs. 1.97). The comparison between tiny aneurysms and other sizes within the dMC group did not reveal any significant differences in terms of worse outcomes or increased risk. The only factor that significantly influenced coil packing density in the univariate logistic regression analysis was the size of the aneurysm (OR 0.309, 95% CI 0.169-0.566, p=0.000). Conclusions: The dMC proved to be a safe and viable alternative to the sMC for treating small ruptured aneurysms in challenging cases.

본 논문에서는 시간제약 조건하에서 면적을 고려한 CPLD 기술매핑 알고리즘을 제안한다. 본 기술매핑 알고리즘은 주어진 EDIF나 부울식의 불린 네트워크에서 궤환을 검출한 후 궤환이 있는 변수를 임시 입력변수로 분리하여 조합논리회로로 구성한다. 구성된 회로는 DAG 형식으로 표현한다. DAG에서 각 노드를 검색한 후, 출력 에지의 수가 2이상인 노드는 분할하지 않고 노드만을 복제(replication)하여 팬 아웃 프리트리로 재구성한다. 이러한 구성 방법은 주어진 시간 조건 안에서 기존의 CPLD 기술 매핑 알고리즘으로 제안된 TEMPLA보다 적은 면적으로 회로를 구현하고, TMCPLD의 단점인 전체 수행 시간을 개선하기 위한 것이다. 시간제약 조건과 소자의 지연시간을 이용하여 그래프 분할이 가능한 다단의 수를 결정한다. 각 노드가 가지고 있는 OR 텀수를 비용으로 하는 초기비용과 노드 병합 후 생성될 OR 텀수인 전체비용을 계산하여 CPLD를 구성하고 있는 CLB의 OR텀수보다 비용이 초과되지 않는 노드를 병합하여 매핑 가능한 클러스터를 구성한다. 매핑 가능 클러스터들 중에서 가장 짧은 다단의 수를 갖는 클러스터들을 선택하여 그래프 분할을 수행한다. 분할된 클러스터들은 콜랍싱(collapsing)을 통해 노드들을 병합하고, 주어진 소자의 CLB안에 있는 OR텀 개수에 맞게 빈 패킹(Bin packing)을 수행하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 기술매핑 알고리즘을 MCNC 논리합성 벤치마크 회로들에 적용하여 실험한 결과 DDMAP에 비해 62.6%의 논리블록의 수가 감소되었고, TEMPLA에 비해 17.6% 감소되었다. TMCPLD와의 결과 비교는 조합논리 회로의 5개 회로만을 비교한 결과 4.7% 감소되었다. 이와같은 실험결과는 CPLD를 이용한 기술매핑에 상당한 효율성을 제공할 것으로 기대된다.

This study presents a novel method of improving the strength and stiffness of cold-formed steel (CFS) beams. Flexural members are primary members in most of the structures. Hence, there is an urgent need in the CFS industry to look beyond the conventional CFS beam sections and develop novel techniques to address the severe local buckling problems that exist in CFS flexural members. The primary objective of this study was to develop new CFS composite beam sections with improved structural performance and economy. This paper presents an experimental study conducted on different CFS composite beams with simply supported end conditions under four point loading. Material properties and geometric imperfections of the models were measured. The test strengths of the models are compared with the design strengths predicted by using Australian/New Zealand Standard for cold-formed steel structures. Furthermore, to ensure high precision testing, a special testing rig was also developed for testing of long span beams. The description of test models, testing rig features and test results are presented here. For better interpretation of results, a comparison of the test results with a hot rolled section is also presented. The test results have shown that the proposed CFS composite beams are promising both in terms of better structural performance as well as economy.

Shear wave velocity of uncemented soil can be expressed as the function of effective stresses when capillary phenomenons are negligible. However, the terms of effective stresses are divided to the direction of wave propagation and polarization because stress states are generally anisotropy. The shear wave velocities are affected by parameters and exponents that are experimentally determined. The exponents are controlled contact effects of particulate materials(sizes, shapes, and structures of particles) and the parameters are changed contact behaviors between particles, material properties of particles, and type of packing(i.e., void ratio and coordination number). In this study, consolidation tests are performed by using clay, mica and sand specimens. Shear wave velocities are measured during consolidation tests to investigate the stress-induced and inherent anisotropies through bender elements. Results show the shear wave velocities depends on the stress-induced anisotropy for round particles. Furthermore the shear wave velocity is dependent on particle alignment under the constant effective stress. This study suggests that the shear wave velocity and the shear modulus should be carefully calculated and used for the design and construction of geotechnical structures.

A two-stage bioreactor, which consists of a biotrickling filter module and a biofilter module in series, was investigated for the enhanced treatment of a VOC mixture, toluene and methyl ethyl ketone (MEK). Throughout the experiments, the overall inlet loading rate was maintained at approximately $43g/m^3/hr$, but the inlet ratios of the VOCs were modified. The experimental results showed that the different ratios of the VOC mixture resulted in changes of overall removal efficiencies, elimination capacities (ECs) and microbial accumulation on the surface of each packing material. The ratio of inlet toluene to MEK at 50 : 150 was found to be most effective in terms of the overall removal efficiency, because, at this condition, MEK (i.e., the hydrophilic compound) was mostly removed in the biotrickling filter module and the following biofilter module was used to remove toluene. It was also found that when the inlet loading rate of the VOC mixture was serially increased stepwise within short-term periods, the ECs for toluene dropped significantly but the ECs for MEK increased at the ratio of the VOC mixture. These results implied that substrate interaction and/or substrate preferable utilization might have an effect on the biological removal of each compound in the two-stage bioreactor; therefore, the bioreactor should be operated in the condition where the substrate interaction could be minimized in order to maximize overall performance of the two-stage bioreactor.

This study examined the quality change of red peppers during storage at various temperatures and humidities. It was observed that red peppers showed mold at aw 0.75(>25% water content), discoloration at aw 0.33(<10%) and browning at aw 0.75(>19%). The most ideal condition of the storage for red peppers was a 13∼15% water content and 60${\pm}$5% RH. The storage life for whole red peppers were 2.0 months at 40$^{\circ}C$, 13.6 months at 25$^{\circ}C$, 27.3 months at 15$^{\circ}C$, 30.0 months at 10$^{\circ}C$, and 65.0 months at -3$^{\circ}C$. During any storage period above, level of capsanthin, browning and capsaicin were changed for whole peppers. Browning appeared to be a crucial factor for marketable quality of stored red peppers. It was found that the level of capsaicin & capsanthin have a miner relationship with marketable quality for consumer. Storing red peppers in nitrogen and vacuum atmosphere packing condition was found to be better than storing them in air at various temperatures in terms of storage life and quality maintenance. The nitrogen gas packaged red peppers kept longer shelf life and better quality compared with vacuum packaging.

A statistical thermodynamic theory of thermotropic main-chain polymeric liquid crystalline melts is developed within the framework of the lattice model by a generalization of the well-known procedure of Flory and DiMarzio. According to the results of Vasilenko et al., the theory of orientational ordering in melts of polymers containing rigid and flexible segments in the main chain is taken into account. When the ordering of flexible segments in the nematic melt is correlated with that of rigid mesogenic groups, the former is assumed to be given as a function of the ordering of rigid mesogenic cores. A free energy density that includes short-range packing contributions is formulated. The properties of the liquid-crystalline transiton are investigated for various cases of the system. The results calculated in this paper show not only the order-parameter values but also the first-order phase transition phenomena that are similar to those observed experimentally for the thermotropic liquid-crystalline polymers and show the transitional entropy terms which actually increase upon orientational ordering. In the orientational ordering values, it is shown that mesogenic groups, flexible segments, and gauche energy (temperature) may be quite substantial. Finally, by using the flexibility term, we predict the highly anisotropic mesophase which was shown by Vasilenko et al.
