The dry deposition fluxes of particulate polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were measured along with their mass size distributions at Seoul and Incheon in fall in 1999. The dry deposition fluxes of PCBs were in the range of $16.7{\sim}62.2ng/m^2/day$. The ambient concentrations of particulate PCBs were in the range of 0.07 to $0.20ng/m^3$. Generally, the mass size distribution of particulate PCBs shows bi-modal distribution. The mass fraction of PCBs in the fine particle fraction ($D_p<2.1 {\mu}m$) was over than 55% of the total PCBs concentrations. It was found that Seoul and Incheon were not the major source of PCBs emissions in Korea. Based on the comparison with the measurement data in summer, 1999, it is likely that both the dry deposition fluxes and ambient particulate PCBs concentrations were not site-specific.

The mass concrete structures are generally constructed in an incremental manner by deviding the whole structures by a series of many blocks. The temperature and stress distributions of any specific block are continuously affected by the blocks placed before and after the specific block. For an accurate analysis of mass concrete structures, the sequence of all the blocks must be accordingly considered including the change of material properties with time for those blocks considered. The purpose of this study is to propose a realistic analysis method which can take into account not only the influence of the sequence, time interval and size of concrete block placement on the temperatures and stresses, but also the change of material properties with time. It is seen from this study that the conventional simplified analysis, which neglects material property changes of some blocks with time and does not consider the effect of adjacent blocks in the analysis, may yield large discrepancies in the temperature and stress distributions of mass concrete structures. This study gives a method to choose the minimum number of blocks required to obtain reasonably accurate results in analysis. The study provides a realistic method which can determine the appropriate size and time interval of block placement, and can be efficiently used in the design and construction of mass concrete structures.

To characterize the features of particle apparent density, continuous measurements of particle number size distributions from optical particle sizer (OPS) and 24 hr integrated particle mass concentrations from filter based sampler were conducted at the National institute of environmental research NamBu Supersite (NNBS, $35.22^{\circ}N$, $126.84^{\circ}E$) in Gwangju for 16 days from Nov. 4 in 2014. Source apportionment model was carried out by applying Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF) to particle size distribution data. Three different distributions related to primary and secondary sources were investigated by the diurnal patterns of identified factors. Density estimated by gaussian model has been calculated as $1.69g/cm^3$ with 95% confidence bounds ($1.57{\sim}1.81g/cm^3$).

An analysis of generation and growth of multicomponent particles has been carried out to predict the size and composition distributions of particles generated in the Modified Chemical Vapor Deposition(MCVD) process. In MCVD process. scale-up of sintering and micro-control of refractive index may need the Information about the size and composition distributions of $SiO_2-GeO_2$ particles that are generated and deposited. The present work solved coupled steady equations (axi-symmetric two dimensions) for mass conservation, momentum balance. energy and species(such as $SiCl_4$, $GeCl_4$, $O_2$, $Cl_2$) conservations describing fluid flow. heat and mass transfer in a tube. Sectional method has been applied to obtain multi-modal distributions of multicomponent aerosols which vary in both radial and axial directions. Chemical reactions of $SiCl_4$ and $GeCl_4$ were included and the effects of variable properties have also been considered.

Based on latest research, the parametric quality statistics cannot be used in non-normal process with demand pattern of many-variety and small-volume, since it involves extremely small sample size. The research proposes nonparametric quality statistics according to the number of lot or batch in the non-normal process. Additionally, the nonparametric Process Capability Index (PCI) is used with 14 identified non-normal distributions.

When we have an i.i.d. sample of size n from a continuous distribution, the distribution truncated on the left at the rth order statistic plays an important role in the theoretical analysis of the Type 2 censored data. The charaterization of distributions by the average of the conditional expectation and the average of the conditional information concerning the truncated distribution is studied here.

Electrocoagulation has been suggested as a promising alternative to conventional coagulation. The process is characterized by reduced sludge production, no requirement for chemical use, and ease of operation. However, this coagulation has scarcely been studied in water purifying process. This study was performed several batch experiments to compare turbidity removal between electrocoagulation and chemical coagulation. In addition, characteristics of floe were evaluated with zeta potential and particle size distributions. Electrocoagulation showed a relatively higher removal of turbidity (approximately 5%) with the same aluminum amount than conventional chemical coagulation. In addition, turbidity removal by electrocoagulation was less sensitive to pH and was greater for more extensive pH range than chemical coagulation. The results of zeta potential and floc size distributions illustrated that electrocoagulation provided the preferable conditions for coagulation such as zeta potential close to zero millivolt and increased portions of particles in the range of 40 and $100{\mu}m$.

In this paper the effect of light on non-aerated Baker's Yeast(Saccharomyces cereuisiae) production and the protein excretion to the extracellular fluid is studied. Previous results in our laboratory indicate that at pH=5 and T-32$^{\circ}C$ yeast may be affected by light, but those differences seem to be within statistical variation of the data. In this paper, cell and extracellular protein concentrations along with redox potential are monitored for batch fermentations in the presence and absence of light at pH levels of 3 and 5 and at 31$^{\circ}C$, in order to explore whether possible light effects can be more readily discerned at lower pH values. Yeast particle size distributions are also determined over the course of fermentation using a particle counter in order to add one more measuring tool to our usual cell and total protein measurements. An apparently noticeable difference in the redox potential is observed between the light and the dark runs for early times for the pH=3 runs. The particle size distributions show differences in the particle diameters between light and dark runs at pH=3, but those differences fall within one standard deviation of the mean particle diameters.

A study of aerosol dynamics has been done to obtain axially and radially varying size distributions of particles generated in the Modified Chemical Vapor Deposition process. Heat and mass transfer have also been studied since particle generation and deposition strongly depend on the temperature field in a tube. Bimodal size distributions of particles have been obtained both in the particulate flow and in the deposited particle layer for the first time using the sectional method to solve aerosol dynamics. Variations of geometric mean diameter, geometric standard deviation have been studied for various parameters; flow rates and maximum wall temperature. The comparison between one-dimensional and two-dimensional approaches has also been made.

This paper deals with developing a general class of accelerated sequential procedures and obtaining the associated second-order approximations for the expected sample size and 'regret' (difference between the risks of the proposed accelerated sequential procedure and the optimum fixed sample size procedure) function. We establish that the estimation problems based on various lifetime distributions can be tackled with the help of the proposed class of accelerated sequential procedures. Extensive simulation analysis is presented in support of the accuracy of our proposed methodology using the Pareto distribution and a real data set on carbon fibers is also analyzed to demonstrate the practical utility. We also provide the brief details of some other inferential problems which can be seen as the applications of the proposed class of accelerated sequential procedures.
