The CRT(Cathode-ray Tube) of salvage is a process of separating the panel and funnel to recycle a cathode-ray tube. In this paper, the thermal properties of glass for CRT were studied to improve its recycling ratio. In the salvage process, several patterns of breakage, as called 'comer pull', were easily generated on the sealing surface of panel or funnel glass due to the residual tensile stress, which had correlations with some parameters of the manufacturing process of CRT and the initial material properties of glass. Finite element analyses and experimental approaches on the flit sealing process were carried out to obtain the major characteristic of glass related to the residual stress. From this study, it was identified that the thermal expansion coefficient of glass had much influence on the residual stress of panel glass after frit sealing process. Therefore, the optimal conditions of thermal properties for CRT glass were proposed to achieve an effective salvage process. By using these optimal conditions, the size of comer pull on the panel and funnel glass was reduced to 10% level compared with the original size, and the recycling ratio of CRT was increased in the salvage process.

Marine casuality causes not only loss of lives and ships, but also severs damages to marine environment and related economic activities such as fishing industry, sea farming, and tourist industry. Basically, the great effort should be made to prevent the occurrence of maritime accidents by any means. However, once accident has occurred, the salvage works should be done rapidly and properly based on theoretical and technical informations, which could minimize the risk during salvage operation and the overall damage from the maritime accidents. Generally, to calculate accurate hydrostatics of a stranded ship, a large amount of input data is needed. But, an availability and a reliability of input data cannot be guaranteed in most situations, and the adequate time required for preparing all input data is not allowed to perform the timely operations of salvage. In this paper, the development process of simple computer program for salvage operation using limited input data is introduced and its application example is presented. This program was developed to provide technical support for planning salvage operations in the grounding accident.

It is very important to salvage the vessel and seafarer rapidly and efficiently when maritime accident occurred, as maritime accident has a bad effect on vessel, seafarer and shipping industry as well as the whole community itself. Especially, marine salvage in relation to the accident involving huge marine pollution and loss of life will be regarded as a more important process because the accident would result more severe damages. However, domestic marine salvage forces are weaker than other country's, and private marine salvage company has poor technical and commercial base even though the Korea Coast Guard and Navy have relatively more modernized equipments and squad. Thus, it is very important to promote marine salvage operation capacity because it is related with the national security as well as the national economy. In this regard, this study examines the promoting method of marine salvage including its public and private section from the perspectives of law and systemic revision.

Since marine accidents cause large-scale damage to human lives and the marine environment, prompt response measures are crucial including salvage operations for ships and cargoes along with lifesaving operations. In Korea, marine salvage operations are mainly dependent on global salvage companies in case of large-scale marine accidents due to lack of national capacity for marine salvage. The purpose of this study was to suggest public measures for the promotion of the private salvage industry by identifying the current situation and problems in the domestic marine salvage industry. As a result of the study, the measures of setting up a dedicated agency to support the domestic salvage industry and the function of the dedicated agency were identified and presented. In addition, the main points of the bill of "Law on the Promotion of the Domestic Salvage Industry" were presented to support and promote the salvage industry. To prepare the draft bill of law, relevant domestic laws and international conventions were examined to define the terms and regulations. Based on the legislation enacted as a result of this study, relevant ministries should focus on the legislative process. Legislation can be pursued by competent ministries in cooperation with the private sector and academia. It is expected that this study will help in the development of the domestic marine salvage industry and enhance the national response capacity for marine accidents in Korea.

Metabolic inhibitors which act in the process of pyrimidine salvage influenced on the uracil incorporation into nucleic acids of Toxoplasma. Inhibitors of dihydrofolate reductase, pyrimethamine and methotrexate, and inhibitors of thymidylate synthase, fluoro-uridine, fluoro·dUMP and fluoro-uracil, diminished isotopic uracil uptake in dose-dependent manners. Azauridine which suppresses do novo pyrimidine biosynthesis did not affect the salvage even in a relatively high dose. These results suggested that the activation of uracil salvage should be closely related with the function of TMP biosynthetic enzymes. The pattern of thymidine uptake had no differences between control HL-60 cells and Toxoplasma infected cells, which did not reject the specific proliferation of Texoplasma. It can be exploited to characterize the elects of various compounds related with the proliferation of Toxoplasma, especially its DNA synthesis. Key words: Toxoplasma gondii, uracil salvage, dihydrofolate reductase, thymidylate synthase TMP biosynthesis.

Small and medium Enterprises (SMEs), which have a manufacturing method of small quantity batch production produce goods using a general-purpose equipment and attached auxiliary tools. Many previous studies have focused on finding the effective resource allocations for improving the firms' productivity. It is very important for SMEs to keep costs low in assigning jobs to each resource, because they should meet the future uncertain demand of consumers under the limited budget. Using the concept of salvage cost, this paper proposes how to effectively allocate the tasks to main resources in the production process. The salvage cost is defined that purchasing cost minus decrease in value by workload, the method considering this is expected to reduce total purchasing costs during business period. To validate the effect of the proposed method, we proceed the real case study targeting on S company, PCB manufacturer to compare purchase amounts and its costs between the allocation proposed based salvage cost and current allocation method of current S company. As a results, In short-term (3 year) business period, salvage allocation have remarkable superior outcome to existing method, but gradually have cancelled out the effects in long-term (8 year) plans. Unlike the cycle allocation method, there exists the idle-equipments in allocation based salvage value. we additionally analyze the profits with respect to rental strategy of them during business period.

A variety of different methods to generate diverse proteins, including random mutagenesis and recombination, are currently available, and most of them accumulate the mutations on the target gene of a protein, whose sequence space remains unchanged. On the other hand, a pool of diverse genes, which is generated by random insertions, deletions, and exchange of the homologous domains with different lengths in the target gene, would present the protein lineages resulting in new fitness landscapes. Here we report a method to generate a pool of protein variants with different sequence spaces by employing green fluorescent protein (GFP) as a model protein. This process, designated functional salvage screen (FSS), comprises the following procedures： a defective GFP template expressing no fluorescence is firstly constructed by genetically disrupting a predetermined region(s) of the protein, and a library of GFP variants is generated from the defective template by incorporating the randomly fragmented genomic DNA from E. coli into the defined region(s) of the target gene, followed by screening of the functionally salvaged, fluorescence-emitting GFPs. Two approaches, sequence-directed and PCR-coupled methods, were attempted to generate the library of GFP variants with new sequences derived from the genomic segments of E. coli. The functionally salvaged GFPs were selected and analyzed in terms of the sequence space and functional property. The results demonstrate that the functional salvage process not only can be a simple and effective method to create protein lineages with new sequence spaces, but also can be useful in elucidating the involvement of a specific region(s) or domain(s) in the structure and function of protein.

We performed distal bypass and free flap transfer in a single-stage operation to repair an extensive soft tissue defect in an ischemic foot of an 84-year-old woman. The nutrient artery of the free flap was anastomosed to the bypass graft in an end-to-side manner. Subsequently, the bypass graft became occluded on several occasions. Although intravascular and surgical interventions were performed each time, the bypass graft eventually became completely occluded. However, despite late occlusion of the nutrient artery, the free flap has remained viable and the patient is ambulatory. The time required for a transplanted free flap to become completely viable without a nutrient artery is likely longer for an ischemic foot compared with a healthy foot. However, the exact period of time required is not known. A period of month was required in our patient. We report this case to help clarify the process by which a free flap becomes viable when applied to an ischemic foot.

The semi-solid casting will have a higher internal integrity, mechanical properties and dimensional accuracy than the conventional castings. This process can reduce the manufacturing costs and finished weight for critical components. The semi-solid casting are capable of greater dimensional repeatbility, this supplies considerable savings when extensive machining, salvage and scrap are key variables in the current automotive product. One of the most important factor regarding the semi-solid die casting process are the reheating method of the raw materials to the semi-solid state. Therefore, in this present work, the horizontal type induction heating system to obtain the optimal reheating conditions suitable for semi-solid die casting process was designed and manufactured. And the microstructure of reheated materials was investigated.

This paper presents a spare ordering policy for preventive replacement with minimal repair. To analyze the ordering policy, the failure process is modeled by a non-homogeneous Poisson process. Introducing the ordering, repair, downtime, replacement costs and salvage value, we derive the expected cost effectiveness as a criterion of optimality when the lifetime and lead times for the regular and expedited orders are generally distributed random variables. It is shown that, under certain conditions, there exists a finite and unique optimum ordering time which maximizes the expected cost effectiveness. A numerical example is also included to explain the proposed model.
