The objective of the present work is to investigate the effect of cutting parameters (Vc, fz and ap) on tool life and the level of vibrations velocity in the machined part during face milling operation of hardened AISI 52100 steel. Dry-face milling has been achieved in the annealed (28 HRc) and quenched (55 HRc) conditions using multi-layer coating micro-grain carbide inserts. Statistical analysis based on the Response surface methodology (RSM) and ANOVA analysis have been conducted through a plan of experiments methodology using a reduced Taguchi table (L9) in order to obtain engineering models for tool life and vibration velocity in the workpiece for both heat treatment conditions. The results show that the cutting speed has a dominant influence on tool life for both soft and hard part. Cutting speed and feed per tooth is the most significant parameters for vibration levels. Comparing the experimental values with those predicted by the developed engineering models of tool life and levels of vibrations velocity, a good correlation has been obtained (between 97% and 99%) in annealed and hard conditions.

The continuous production of L -proline was studied using L-histidine auxotrophic mutant of Corynebacterium acetoacidophilum under various substrate limited conditions. Among the $NH_4\;^+$ $PO_4\;^3$ and L -histidine limited conditions, the highest production of L -proline was observed under the L-histidine limited condition. Under $NH_4\;^+$ and $PO_4\;^3$ limited conditions, no or poor L-proline production was observed, respectively. For the kinetic parameters under L -histidine limitation the specific rate of L -proline production was increased with dilution rate upto $0.1hr^{-1}$ but decreased above $0.1hr^{-1}$. The volumetric rate of L -proline production was showed similar pattern with specific rate. The dried cell weight was gradually increased according to decrease the dilution rate. Specific rate of glucose consumption was proportionally increased with dilution rate. The results of continuous culture (higher production of L-proline at dilution rate $0.1hr^{-1}$) will be used in fed-batch culture for the control of cell growth rate and mass production of L-proline.

본 연구의 목적은 메탄을 최대로 발생시킬 수 있는 최적조건을 탐색하는데 있다. 탐색한 최적조건 인자로는 온도, pH, 탄소원, 그리고 질소원이며, 메탄 발생에 영향을 주는 저해제에 대해서도 조사하였다. 결과적으로, 온도는 3$0^{\circ}C$, pH는 중성영역, 탄소원은 methanol, 질소원은 NH$_4$Cl에서 최대의 메탄을 얻을 수 있었으며, 메탄 생성에 대한 저해재의 영향을 조사한 결과 10 mM 미만의 극소량이라도 2-bromoethanesulfonic acid가 존재할 경우 메탄 발생량이 감소하는 결과를 보였다. 메탄 발생에 대한 pH 변화를 조사해 본 결과, pH가 7.5에서 6.5로 내려가는 동안에는 메탄 발생량이 증가하였으나, 6.5에서 6.0으로 변화되면서는 메탄 발생량이 감소하였다. 따라서 pH 변화를 실시간으로 측정하여 상분리 발효를 적용하면 최적 메탄 생성 조건을 유지할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 또한 메탄 발생 시 배지 내에 생성되는 유기산을 측정해 본 결과 생성된 유기산 중 formic acid가 0.1M로 최대량을 보였다.

The Pneumococcus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, has an ample polysaccharide (PS) capsule that is highly antigenic and is the main virulence factor of the organism. The capsular PS is the source of PS vaccine. This investigation was undertaken to optimize the culture conditions for the production of capsular PS by type 4 pneumococcus. Among several culture media, brain heart infusion (BHI) and Casitone based medium were found to support luxuriant growth of pneumococcus type 4 at the same level. Therefore in this study, the Casitone based medium was used to study optimization of the culture condition because of BHI broth's high cost and complex nature. The phase of growth which accomodated maximum PS production was exponential phase. Concentrations of glucose greater than 0.8% did not enhance growth or PS production. Substitution of nitrogen sources with other resources or supplementation of various concentrations of metal ion (with the exception of calcium, copper, and magnesium ions) had adverse effects on growth and PS production. On the other hand, low level aeration and supplementation of 3 mg/l concentration of asparagine, phenylalanine, or threonine were beneficial for increased PS production. The synergistic effect of all the favorable conditions observed in pneumococcal growth assays provided a two-fold cumulative increase in capsular PS production.

The optimization of culture conditions for the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa BYK-2 KCTC 18012P, was performed to increase its rhamnolipid production. The optimum level for carbon, nitrogen sources, temperature and pH, for rhamnolipid production in a flask, were identified as 25 g/L fish oil, 0.01% (w/v) urea, 25 and pH 7.0, respectively. Optimum conditions for batch culture, using a 7-L jar fermentor, were 200 rpm of agitation speed and a 2.0 L/min aeration rate. Under the optimum conditions, on fish oil for 216 h, the final cell and rhamnolipid concentrations were 5.3 g/L and 17.0 g/L respectively. Fed-batch fermentation, with different feeding conditions, was carried out in order to increase, cell growth and rhamnolipid production by the Pseudomonas aeruginosa, BYK-2 KCTC 18012P. When 2.5 g of fish oil and 100 mL basal salts medium, containing 0.01 % (w/v) urea, were fed intermittently during the fermentation, the final cell and rhamnolipid concentrations at 264 h, were 6.1 and 22.7 g/L respectively. The fed-batch culture resulted in a 1.2-fold increase in the dry cell mass and a 1.3-fold increase in rhamnolipid production, compared to the production of the batch culture. The rhamnolipid production-substrate conversion factor (0.75 g/g) was higher than that of the batch culture (0.68 g/g).

The optimal physical factors affecting enzyme production in an airlift fermenter have not been studied so far. Therefore, the physical parameters such as aeration rate, pH, and temperature affecting PLA-degrading enzyme production by Actinomadura keratinilytica strain T16-1 in a 3 l airlift fermenter were investigated. The response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize PLA-degrading enzyme production by implementing the central composite design. The optimal conditions for higher production of PLA-degrading enzyme were aeration rate of 0.43 vvm, pH of 6.85, and temperature at $46^{\circ}C$. Under these conditions, the model predicted a PLA-degrading activity of 254 U/ml. Verification of the optimization showed that PLA-degrading enzyme production of 257 U/ml was observed after 3 days cultivation under the optimal conditions in a 3 l airlift fermenter. The production under the optimized condition in the airlift fermenter was higher than un-optimized condition by 1.7 folds and 12 folds with un-optimized medium or condition in shake flasks. This is the first report on the optimization of environmental conditions for improvement of PLA-degrading enzyme production in a 3 l airlift fermenter by using a statistical analysis method. Moreover, the crude PLA-degrading enzyme could be adsorbed to the substrate and degraded PLA powder to produce lactic acid as degradation products. Therefore, this incident indicates that PLA-degrading enzyme produced by Actinomadura keratinilytica NBRC 104111 strain T16-1 has a potential to degrade PLA to lactic acid as a monomer and can be used for the recycle of PLA polymer.

In traditional production lines, such as assembly lines, each worker is usually assigned to a fixed task, which is beneficial since it reduces the amount of training needed for workers to master their assigned tasks. However, when workers complete their tasks at different speeds, the slowest worker will determine the overall pace of the production line and limit production. To avoid this problem, the self-balancing production line was introduced. In this type of production line, each worker works dynamically, thus they can maintain balanced production. Previous research analyzing the performance of these lines has ignored the walk-back time associated with dynamic workers. U-shaped production lines have also been analyzed and policies for such lines have been proposed. However, the walk-back time cannot be ignored in practice, and research taking this factor into account is needed to enable balanced production and thus the maximum production rate. In this paper, we propose production policies for a production line with the walk-back time taken into account, and define and analyze the conditions for self-balancing. Furthermore, we have compared the performance of such a line with that of other production lines under the same conditions, and the results show the superiority of this line in certain cases.

Mycelial growth, color difference and productivity of red pigment of beni-koji by Monascus anka KCCM 11832 were examined with respect to it's pigment in submerged culture with various medium and culture conditions. Shaking incubation was more promoted mycelial growth and the production of pigments than that for non-shaking incubation, and red color became ten times deeper. The production of red pigment was the highest when incubated at 25$\circ$C for 7 days in pH 6.0, but mycelial growth was showed the highest at 32.5$\circ$C. The levels of carbon and nitrogen source for maximum red pigment production were 2% rice powder and 0.05% peptone, respectively and the level of peptone for maximum pigment production was lower than that for maximum mycelial growth. Among pigmentation promoting agents tested, MgSO$_{4}$, was found to be suitable for the production of red pigment, and the optimum level was 0.1%.

Optimal media and cultural conditions for the production of red pigment were established using Monasurs anka KFCC 4478. The optimal temperature and initial pH for the production of red pigment were 30$^{\circ}C$ and 7.0, respectively. Glucose turned out to be most suitable carbon source for red pigment production. Optimal glucose concentration was 3.0%. Addition combined of nitrogen sources of peptone and NaNo3 induced good red pigment production. Thiamine-HCI and nicotinic acid were increased the production of red pigment. Under optimal conditions, maximum red pigment production and cell growth were observed after 5 days of incubation.

Optimization of submerged culture conditions for the production of exo-biopolymer from Paecilomyces japonica was studied. Maltose, yeast extract and potassium phosphate were the most suitable sources of carbon, nitrogen, and inorganic salt, respectively, for both production of the exo-biopolymer and mycelial growth. The optimal culture conditions in flask culture were pH 5.0, $25^{\circ}C$ and 150 rpm in a meidum containing of 30 g maltose, 6 g yeast extract, 2 g polypeptone, 0.5 g $K_2HPO_4$, 0.2 g $KH_2PO_4$, 0.2 g $MnSo_4\;{\cdot}\;5H_2O$, 0.2 g $MgSO_4\;{\cdot}\;7H_2O$ in 1-L distilled water. Exo-biopolymer production and mycelial growth in the suggested medium were significantly increased in a 2.5-L jar fermentor, where the maximum biopolymer concentration was 8 g/1.
