For several decades, many researchers have been involved in developing recycling methods for FRP boats. There are four basic classes of recycling covered in the literature. Despite of environmental problems(safety hazards), mechanical recycling of FRP boats, which involves shredding and grinding of the scrap FRP, is one of the simpler and more technically proven methods than incineration, reclamation or chemical ones. Because FRP is made up of reinforced fiber glass, it is very difficult to break into pieces. It also leads to secondary problem in recycling process, such as air pollution and unacceptable shredding noise level. Another serious problem of mechanical FRP recycling is very limited reusable applications for the residue. This study is to propose a new and efficient method which is more wide range applications and environment friendly waste FRP regenerating system. New system is added with the cyclone sorting machine for airborne pollutions and modified cutting system for several glass fiber chips sizes. It also has shown the FRP chip fiber-reinforced concrete and fiber-reinforced secondary concrete applications with the waste FRP boat to be more eligible than existing recycling method.

In this study it was focused that if the chrome could be removed in the shaving dust, the reusable protein resource could be recycled from the shaving dust. As the chrome forms a Cr-collagenate by cross linking of collagen in the shaving dust, the dust was steeped for swelling and plumping by $Ca(OH)_2$ solution and then chromium in dust was resolved out by $H_2SO_4$ solution in the first stage process. In the second stage one, dust was swelled and plumped by NaOH solution and then the chromium in dust was oxygenated to a hexavalent chrome, which has high solubility in $H_2O_2$ solution. And then the chromium was removed byt he steeping of $H_2SO_4$ solution as the last process. The first stage process was consisted of the sequential steeping of 3%-$Ca(OH)_2$ and $0.8%-H_2SO_4$. In the second stage the total chrome was effectively removed by the sequential steeping of 0.1%-NaOH, $3%-H_2O_2$ and $1%-H_2SO_4$. In the completely dechromated dust, the humidity was measured as 10.68% and the crude protein was contained by 79.81%. Steeping solutions were reused 3 times for chrome removal process, the chrome was entirely removed in shaving dust.

Product line engineering (PLE) is one of the most recent and emerging reuse approaches in software engineering. Core asset, which is a reusable unit of PLE, is shared by several members in a product line (PL). So, developing a well-defined core asset is a prerequisite to increase productivity and time-to-market. Existing PLE methodologies emphasize the importance of core asset but mainly focus on analyzing core asset. And, several processes for designing core asset do not fully cover all elements of core asset which is from product line architecture (PLA) to decision model and need to augment systematic process, detailed instructions, and templates of artifacts. These problems result in difficulty with designing core asset and applying PLE. In this paper, we present an overall process and templates of artifacts to design core assets. And, we apply proposed process to a case study in order to show its applicability. With the proposed process, detailed instructions, and templates of artifacts, we believe that we can more systematically and more easily design high-quality core assets and we fully cover product line architecture, component, and decision model when designing a core asset.

This Study was Conducted in 3 glasshouse to examine the Possibility for cultivation of plug seedlings using four growing media containing recycled PET-bottle-particles (PBT) as a medium component. Plug seedlings of 'Seokwang' tomato were grown in media containing $100\%$ PBT, $100\%$ peatmoss, or $50\%$ $PBT+50\%$ peatmoss. A commercial plug medium (Tosilee) was used as the control. All seeds were sown in 128 cell plug trays on July 12, 2004. Seedling growth was measured at 30 days after sowing. Percent seed germination was greater than 95% in all treatments. Plant height, shoot fresh and dry weights, leaf area, and hypocotyl length were the greatest in the control treatment. Root length and weight were the greatest in the $100\%$ PBT treatment, which had a medium pH of 7.3. Leaf area and shoot dry weight were greater in the $50\%$ $PBT+50\%$ peatmoss treatment, than in the $100\%$ PBT treatment, while they were the smallest in the $100\%$ peatmoss treatment. No toxicity symptoms caused by the use or PBT had been observed in any treatment. The results suggest a possibility of recycled PBT, a valuable reusable resource, to be used as a component for medium amendments in horticultural transplant production.

The flow of a universal system-level design methodology consists of system specification, system-level hardware/software partitioning, co-design, co-verification using virtual or physical prototype, and system integration. In the developing process of a hardware component in system, the design phase has been regarded as a phase consuming lots of time and cost. However, the verification phase in which functionality of the designed component is verified has recently been considered as a much important phase. In this paper, the implementation of a verification environment which is based on SystemC infrastructure and verifies the functionality of a hardware component is described. The proposed verification system uses SystemC user-defined channel as communication interface between variables of SystemC module and registers of Verilog module. The functional verification of an UART is performed on the proposed verification system. SystemC provides class library for hardware modeling and has an advantage of being able to design a system consisting hardware and software in higher abstraction level than register transfer level. Source codes of SystemC modules are reusable with a minor adaptation on verifying functionality of another hardware component.

Polymer-supported crown ethers (Ps-CE) which can be used for phase-transfer catalyst (PTC) were synthesized for the purpose of allowing reusable function to ordinary crown ethers, and the kinetics of the liquid-solid-liquid triphase-catalyzed nucleophilic displacement reaction of iodide (aqueous phase) on 1-bromooctane (organic phase) using synthesized Ps-CE (solid) were studied. Ps-CE were obtained by grafting of hydroxymethyl crown ethers to 1~2% cross-linked chloromethylated polystyrene. All reactions followed a pseudo-first order dependency on the 1-bromooctane concentration and the observed rate constants $(k_{obsd})$ were linearly related to the molar equivalents of Ps-CE, and were subjected to the influence of cross-linking density of polymer backbone, solvent and the reaction temperature. The catalytic activity of Ps-CE was also compared with that of structurally similar soluble crown ethers, and used Ps-CE were easily recovered after the reaction by simple filtration and could be reused without loss of catalytic activity in the same anionic displacement reaction. Enthalpies and entropies of activation associated with the displacement were 10~20kcal $mol^{-1}, 20~55eu. respectively, and the free energy of activation was ~30kcal mol^{-1}$.

The adsorption behavior of 8-hydroxyquinoline (8HQ) on Amberlite XAD-4 and-7 resins was investigated by measuring its distribution coefficients under various experimental conditions, such as shaking time, pH and concentration of methanol in the medium. The application of 8HQ-impregnated-XAD resins for the absorption and separation of metal ions was studied. The maximum adsorption of 8HQ on XAD resins was observed in the 30% methanol solution having pH range from 6.0 to 9.0. The impregnation capacities of XAD resins for 8HQ were 3.81${\times}$10-2mmol, 8HQ/g, XAD-4 resins and 2.60${\times}$10-2mmol, 8HQ/g, XAD-7 resin, respectively. The 8HQ-impregnated-XAD resins were stable in pH range from 6.0 to 10.0 and the amount of 8HQ leached from XAD-4 resin by eluting with hydrochloric acid(above 5M) was negligible. The optimum pH range for the adsorption of metal ions on 8HQ-impregnated XAD resin was also 6.0 to 10.0, and the adsorption mole ratio of metal ion to 8HQ were 1 : 2 for Cu(II), Cd(II) and Ni(II), and 1 : 3 for Fe(III) at the above pH range. It was found that the absorbed metal ions on 8HQ-impregnated-XAD resins were recovered quantitatively with 5M HCl and 8HQ-impregnated-XAD-4 resin could be reusable over 5 times without decrease in its impregnation capacity.

Manufacturing conb'ol applications consist of concurrent active components such as robots, AGV's (Automatic Guided Vehicles), and conveyors. Running of manufacturing control programs is interactions among those components. We can enhance the productivity and extendability of manufacturing control applications by using the object-oriented teclmology that models those components as reusable objects. But the objects in current object-oriented technology that encapsulate state and behavior infonnation are passive in a sense that those respond only when messages are sent to them. In this paper, we introduce the Distributed Active Object Systems (DAGS) approach that SUPPOltS active objects. Since active objects encapsulate control infonnation in addition to state and behavior information under COREA/Java-based distributed environment, they can represent manufacturing control components better than the objects in ordimuy object-oriented technology. TIus control infonnation provides an object with a featme that can monitor its own status as well as other object's status connected by intelface valiables. Active objects can initiate a behavior according to the change of those status. Therefore, we can sb-uctmally assemble self-initiating active objects by using intelface variables to construct a system without describing bow to control distributed objects by using message passing. As the DAOS approach supports object composability, we can enhal1ce the productivity and extendability of disbibuted manufactming control applications even better than the ordil1alY object-oriented approach. Also, the DAOS approach supports better component reusability with active objects that encapsulate control information .

Object-oriented programming is often touted as promoting software reuse. However it is recognized that objected-oriented software often need to be restructured before it can be reused. refactoring is the process that changes the software structure to make it more reusable, easier to maintain and easire to be enhanced wit new functionalities. This paper desirbes experience gained and lessons learned from restructuring OODesigner, a Computer Aided Software Engineering(CASE) tool that supports Objects Modeling Technique(OMT). this tool supports a wide range of features such as constructing object modeler of OMT, managing information repository, documenting class resources, automatical generating C++ and java code, reverse engineering of C++ and Java cod, searching and reusing classes in the corresponding repository and collecting metrics data. although the version 1.x was developed using OMT(i.e the tool has been designed using OMT) and C++, we recognized that the potential maintenance problem originated from the ill-designed class architecture. Thus this version was totally restructured, resulting in a new version that is easier to maintain than the old version. In this paper, we briefly describe its restructuring process, emphasizing the fact that the Refactoring of the tool is conducted using the tool itself. Then we discuss lessons learned from these processes and we exhibit some comparative measurements of the developed version.

There are about 1470 stone-cultural properties in Korea which have been registered and protected by the government. Representative of them are pagoda, stupa, stone-buddha, stele support of banner pole and stone-lanterns. Most of them have been exposed to and weathered by natural environments. Stone-cultural properties are destroyed and/or destructed mostly by weathering and its related features of rocks. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct geological studies on the weathering phenomena and related features as well as characteristics of the rock itself must be done for the conservation. Thus geological investigation should include detail measurements, rock varieties and phases, structural lineaments of the rock, cause and degree of weathering, degree and patterns of crack development structural stability, identification of reusable parts for restoration, geomorphological characteristics of the site, and etc. The interaction among these factors must be investigated and analyzed, which must be used as basic data to establish the guideline of conservation and to plan for repair and/or restoration. The conservation plan should involve parts to be repaired, method of repair, type of cementing material, the characteristics of rock phases to be supplemented, method for maintaining structural stability, and method to delay or to prevent the rock weathering.
