This paper describes the effects of injection rate shaping on the combustion, fuel consumption and emission of $NO_x$ and soot of a medium duty diesel engine. The focus is on the influence of four different injection rate shapes, square type 1, square type 2, boot and ramp, with a variation of maximum injection pressure and start of injection (SOI). The experiments were carried out on a 1 liter single cylinder research diesel engine equipped with an amplifier-piston common rail injection system, allowing the adjustment of the injection pressure during the injection event and thus injection rate as desired. Two strategies to maintain the injected fuel mass constant were followed. One where rate shaping is applied at constant injection duration with different peak injection pressure and one strategy where rate shaping is applied at a constant peak injection pressure, but with variable injection duration. Injection rate shaping was found to have a large effect on the premixed and diffusion combustion, a significant influence on $NO_x$ emissions and depending on the followed strategy, moderate or no influence on soot emission. Only small effects on indicated fuel consumption were found.

This study was attempted to investigate the dissolution rate and the bioavailability after oral administration of commercially available aspirin tablets in normal volunteers. The dissolution test was conducted in artificial gastric juice using basket method with three aspirin preparations (A, B and C) which were chemically equivalent. The results were as follows; The dissolution rate was higher in the order of three different brand B>A >C. Area under the blood concentration and peak blood concentration were larger in the order of brand A>B>C. Absorption rate constant and peak time were larger in the order of brand B>A>C, and there was a little difference in elimination rate constant and biological half-life. The correlation of the dissolution rate and absorption rate constant, as well as correlation of the dissolution rate and peak time showed significant linear relationship respectively. From the results of this experiment, it can be concluded that the bioavailability of aspirin tablets showed much difference according to commercial preparations, and that the bioavailability of aspirin tablets in human may be predicted from the results of dissolution rate studies.

In oxidizing nitric acid solutions, stainless steel undergoes intergranular corrosion accompanied by grain dropping and changes in the corrosion rate. For the safe operation of reprocessing plants, this mechanism should be understood. In this study, we constructed a three-dimensional computational model using a cellular automata method to simulate the intergranular corrosion propagation of stainless steel. The computational model was constructed of three types of cells: grain (bulk), grain boundary (GB), and solution cells. Model simulations verified the relationship between surface roughness during corrosion and dispersion of the dissolution rate of the GB. The relationship was investigated by simulation applying a constant dissolution rate and a distributed dissolution rate of the GB cells. The distribution of the dissolution rate of the GB cells was derived from the intergranular corrosion depth obtained by corrosion tests. The constant dissolution rate of the GB was derived from the average dissolution rate. Surface roughness calculated by the distributed dissolution rates of the GBs of the model was greater than the constant dissolution rates of the GBs. The cross-sectional images obtained were comparable to the corrosion test results. These results indicate that the surface roughness during corrosion is associated with the distribution of the corrosion rate.

In this study, probabilistic reliability analysis was conducted for hybrid rocket performance using Monte-Carlo Simulation. For the accuracy, reliability analysis was performed with experimental data. To simplify the analysis process, the oxidizer was supplied with constant pressure, so that pressure variation with time can be eliminated. And time-space averaged regression rate model was used. The regression rate is obtained with a series of experiments. For reliability analysis of thrust, constant exponent of regression rate is assumed that has probabilistic character. So, the efficiency of characteristic velocity has also probabilistic values. As a results, probability distribution of the thrust is obtained by Monte-Carlo simulation using random samples of the input parameter and validated under the 95% confidence level.

Oxidizing metal complex mediates the electrochemical oxidation of guanine nucleotides. This catalysis results in an enhancement in cyclic voltammograms that yield the rate constant for the oxidation of guanine by the metal complex via digital simulation. The rate constant of oxidation of guanine by Ru(bpy)3(3+) is 6.4 x 10(5)M(-1)s(-l). The rate constant and the enhanced current depend on the number of phosphate groups on the sugar of nucleotidc. Also the modified guanine bases show different oxidation rate constants following the trend guanine-5'- monophosphatc (GMP) > 8-bromo-guanine-5'-monophosphate (8-Br-GMP) > xanthosine -5'-monophosphate (XMP) > inosinc-5'-monophosphate (IMP). The guanine bases derivatized differently are all distinguishable from one another, providing a basis for studying electrochemistry of DNA and RNA and developing electrochemical biosensors.

There exist several kinds of continuous consolidation tests to analyze the consolidation behavior of soft clay. The constant rate of strain (CRS) test has been adopted as a standard method by several countries, and some researches also have been peformed by domestic researchers. Among those, the constant pressure ratio (CPR) test is peformed with the constant ratio of excess porewater pressure to vertical effective stress. The test has the advantage of considerable reduction of duration time. In the study, the consolidation characteristics are analyzed by performing the CPR test as validate the pressure ratio with undisturbed soft clay and remolded clay, Also, results of the standard consolidation test and CRS test are compared to verify the CPR test can be employed for practical use. As a result, effects of variation of the pressure ratio on consolidation parameter are similar to the strain rate in the CRS test. Therefore, the test can be used to analyze the consolidation behavior of soft clay But the test have some problems such as expensive cost of equipment and highly skilled workmanship.

가황반응에 대한 반응차수, 반응속도상수 및 활성화에너지, 가교결합에 의한 가교밀도 및 탄성상수를 동일한 가황시스템하에서 실리카와 카본블랙을 함유한 SBR/BR 블렌드에 대하여 조사하였다. 반응차수는 충전제 종류에 관계없이 1차 반응이었으며, 카본블랙이 첨가된 배합고무는 실리카가 첨가된 배합고무보다 반응속도가 빠르게 나타났다. 그러나 활성화에너지는 충전제 종류 및 고무 블렌드 조성에 관계없이 일정하게 나타났다. 가교밀도 및 탄성상수는 고무와 카본블랙간의 강한 상호작용으로 인해 카본블랙이 첨가된 조성물에서 높게 나타났다. 한편, 고무 블렌드중 부타디엔 고무 함량이 증가할수록 가교밀도 및 탄성상수는 감소하였다. 가황고무중 결합 황 함량 비교결과, 실리카가 첨가된 조성물중 일정한 결합 황 함량은 반응시작 후 20분 후에 나타났으나, 카본블랙이 첨가된 조성물은 10분 후에 나타났다. 또한 실리카가 첨가된 조성물은 카본블랙이 첨가된 조성물에 비해 반응 유도시간($t_2$) 및 최적 가황시간($t_{90}$)이 길게 나타났다.

In this study, the swelling characteristics of reconstituted clayey soil were investigated by STD and CRS test. The strain rate during loading was constant i.e. 0.05 %/min, 0.03 %/min and during unloading was varied in proportion to 1/1, 1/5, 1/10 and 1/15 of strain rate during loading. From this study the following conclusions were obtained; (1) There were similar values, especially, during unloading in case of 1/10 or 1/15 of strain rate during loading and the test results between STD and CRS were much to be alike. (2) The cross point of effective stress versus excess pore water pressure ratio curve, was increased during unloading, while the stress level of the cross point was decreased. The stress level can be separated into two zones according to the swelling index named Cs1 and Cs2. From the test results, the values of Cs1 were approximately constant irrespective of strain rate during unloading, but the values of Cs2 were much influenced by strain rate. (3) In CRS consolidation tests, it was found that unloading strain rate did not affect on the existence of zone.
