  • Membrane Technology, which has been in use for over twenty five years, has established itself as one of the principle separation methods. With improved technology, Reverse Osmosis ("RO") has been applied to large volume water treatment facilities. UF and MF Membrane Technology has, up until recently, been applied to small scale water treatment facilities. The fouling of membrane has restricted the growth of Membrane Technology in Water Treatment. Membrane fouling compound found in water causes the loss of flux across the membrane by absorbing to membrane and plugging their pores. Various methods have been used in the reduction and prevention of membrane fouling. For RO, a conventional pre-treatment system removes the pollutants, preventing the function decline of RO membrane by keeping SDI < 4 as the standard condition of feed water. UF and MF Membrane Technology that must have pre-treatment function within itself, are required to keep its ability not to be influenced by fouling.y fouling.

  • Post-translational modifications play major roles in the stability, function, and localization of target proteins involved in the nervous system. The ubiquitin-proteasome pathway uses small ubiquitin molecules to degrade neuronal proteins. Deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) reverse this degradation and thereby control neuronal cell fate, synaptic plasticity, axonal growth, and proper function of the nervous system. Moreover, mutations or downregulation of certain DUBs have been found in several neurodegenerative diseases, as well as gliomas and neuroblastomas. Based on emerging findings, DUBs represent an important target for therapeutic intervention in various neurological disorders. Here, we summarize advances in our understanding of the roles of DUBs related to neurobiology.

  • Using head length and head width of two wheat monosomic lines linear discriminant function of these two variables was calculated and also illustrated how one can effectively classify unknown individuals into a correct group belonging by means of this linear discriminant function in reverse. Brief suggestion on the utilization of this analysis in genetics and breeding program was given.

  • 정보기술의 역기능을 줄이기 위한 가장 쉬운 접근 방법은 역기능 자체에 초점을 두어 해소할 수 있는 방안에 대해 대책을 세우는 것이라 하겠다. 이에 따라 그동안 법률적, 기술적, 윤리적 접근 방법으로 역기능을 해소하기 위한 노력이 이어져 왔으며, 그 가운데 가장 근본적인 해결 방법으로 윤리적인 접근의 시도인 정보윤리 교육의 실시를 확대하고 있는 상황이다. 그러나 역기능을 줄일 수 있는 또 하나의 방법이 바로 순기능의 강화이며, 본 논문에서는 정보기술의 순기능을 강화하여 역기능을 해소할 수 있는 방안에 대해 제안한다. 이러한 제안이 역기능을 줄이기 위한 노력과 더해진다면 바람직한 유비쿼터스 세상을 열어나가는 밑거름이 될 것이다.

  • The object of this experimental study is to investigate the effect on frost prevention and delay by the method of alternating the function of outdoor coil rows under the frost conditions ($2^{\circ}C/1^{\circ}C$). The heat pump system with the new method can make frost delay time longer and eliminate frost effectively. It is withstand over 280 minutes without a conventional defrosting method. Maximum COP in case of adopting new method is 13% higher than that in case of reverse cycle defrosting method. Also in case of moving air injection duct faster, the frost delay time is lengthened and its COP is enhanced more.

  • In this paper, we present an algorithm for adjusting degree of belief for consistency on the evidence dependency network where various sets of evidence support different sets of hypotheses. It is common for experts to assign higher degree of belief to a hypothesis when there is more evidence over the hypothesis. Human expert without knowledge of uncertainty handling may not be able to cope with how evidence is combined to produce the anticipated belief value. Belief in a hypothesis changes as a series of evidence is known to be true. In non-monotonic reasoning environments, the belief retraction method is needed to clearly deal with uncertain situations. We create evidence dependency network from rules and apply the evidence retraction algorithm to refine belief values on the hypothesis set. We also introduce negative belief values to reflect the reverse effect of evidence combination.

  • In this paper, a new extension of Lindley distribution has been introduced. Certain characterizations based on truncated moments, hazard and reverse hazard function, conditional expectation of the proposed distribution are presented. Besides, these characterizations, other statistical/mathematical properties of the proposed model are also discussed. The estimation of the parameters is performed through different classical methods of estimation. Bayes estimation is computed under gamma informative prior under the squared error loss function. The performances of all estimation methods are studied via Monte Carlo simulations in mean square error sense. The potential of the proposed model is analyzed through two data sets. A modified goodness-of-fit test using the Nikulin-Rao-Robson statistic test is investigated via two examples and is observed that the new extension might be used as an alternative lifetime model.

  • Six months after undergoing reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) a 73-year-old woman sustained a periprosthetic scapular spine fracture following a fall. She was treated with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), followed by botulinum toxin injection into the deltoid muscle to temporarily minimize strain at the fracture. Fracture union was achieved by 3 months, with excellent clinical function more than 1 year following fracture fixation and full resolution of deltoid function. Scapular spine fracture following RSA can be treated with ORIF and temporary deltoid paralysis using botulinum toxin in the immediate postoperative period to safely support fracture healing.

  • In this study, we analyzed the electrical and optical properties of metalorganic chemical vapor deposition grown InGaAs/InGaAsP/InP quantum dot(QD) molecules by using photoluminescence and deep-level transient spectroscopy. From these resulte, the energy levels of the large QDs are located at deeper region from the conduction band edge of the barrier than that of the small QDs, The large QDs seem to have the energy states more than two, and these energy levels of the QD molecules are located at 0.35, 0.42, and 0.45 eV from conduction band edge under -4 V reverse bias conditions. The energy levels are closely coupled under low reverse bias, and then decoupled as the bias voltage is increased.

  • Ultra-power-saving SBR has been fabricated by using vanadium and molybdenum with low work function. Because reverse leakage current is increased in inverse proportion to work function, we implanted argon ion on the n-Si layer for decreasing leakage current. The dose and acceleration energy of the argon implantation in the silicon was 1$\times$10$^{14}$ ion/$\textrm{cm}^2$, 40 keV, respectively. The forward voltages drop of fabricated V-SBR and Mo-SBR were 0.25 V and 0.39 V at the same forward current density of 60 A/$\textrm{cm}^2$. As a result, it was found that the reverse leakage current of the fabricated V-SBR was reduced over 20$mutextrm{A}$ by the argon implantation in comparison with the no implanted V-SBR. Also, owing to argon implantation, the inferiority of characteristic of the SBR was not detected.
