  • This study was carried out to derive the removal characteristics of target materials(DOC and turbidity) during the coagulation process after the injection of coagulants(PACl and FeCl3). Used apparatus were a jar test and a pilot plant. A great portion of DOC among the total removed DOC was achieved at the slow mixing process among the coagulation process. The ranges of removed DOC and optimum pH for each coagulant were 0.45~1.47mg/l and 6.0~6.5 by PACl, and 0.97~2.61mg/l. and 5.0~5.5 by FeCl3, respectively. Both of coagulants showed little increase of DOC removal above coagulant dosage 20mg/l Molecular weight distribution(MWD) of removed DOC was measured by get filtration(GF) technique. The MWD variation by gel filtrationin(GF) for removed DOC in the coagulation process were as follows; for raw water, the percentages of each MWD for total area were < MW 6,500 25.5%, MW 6,500~66,000 67.1%, and > MW 66,000 7.4%. For the same coagulant dosage(12mg/l), the percentages of each MWD for total area by PACl were < MW 6,500 20.5%, MW 6,500~66,000 48.7%, and > MW 66,000 9.1%, and those of FeCl3 were MW 66,000 18.2%. For each coagulant, the removal percentage of MW 6,500~66,000 occurred a little, but at a part of

  • Recently, the world faces the environmental problem such as air pollution due to harmful gas discharged from car and abnormal climate due to the green-house gases increased by the discharge of $CO_2$. Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), one of alternative for this problem, is less harmful, compared to the existing fossil fuel, as gaseous fuel, and less carbon in fuel ingredients and carbon dioxide generation rate relatively favorable more than the existing fuel. However, CNG fuel has the weakness of slow flame propagation speed and difficult fast burn. On the other hand, hydrogen does not include carbon in fuel ingredients, and does not discharge harmful gas such as CO and HC. Moreover, it has strength of quick burning velocity and ignition is possible with small ignition energy source and it's has wide Lean Flammability Limit. If using this hydrogen with CNG fuel, the characteristics of output and discharge gas is improved by the mixer's burning velocity improved, and, at the same time, is possible to have stable lean combustion with the reduction of $CO_2$ expected. Therefore, this research tries to identify the characteristics of engine and emission gas when mixing CNG fuel and hydrogen in each portion and burning them in spark igniting engine, and grasp the combustion stability and emission gas characteristics according and use it as the basic data of hydrogen-CNG premixed engine.

  • For the prolonged delivery and sustained release rates of low molecular weight drugs, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microparticles containing the drug SKL-2020 have been investigated. On increasing polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) concentration (from 0.2% to 5%), the size of microparticles decreased (from $48.02{\mu}m$ to $10.63{\mu}m$) and more uniform size distribution was noticeable due to the powerful emulsifying ability of PVA. A higher drug loading (from 5% to 20%) caused a larger concentration gradient between 2 phases at the polymer precipitation step; this resulted in decreased encapsulation efficiency (from 34.19% to 25.67%) and a greater initial burst (from 61.71% to 70.05%). SKL-2020-loaded PLGA microparticles prepared with different fabrication conditions exhibited unique release patterns of SKL-2020. High PVA concentration and high drug loading led to an initial burst effect by rapid drug diffusion through the polymer matrix. Since PLGA microparticles enabled the slow release of SKL-2020 over 1 week in vitro and in vivo, more convenient and comfortable treatment could be facilitated with less frequent administration. It is feasible to design a release profile by mixing microparticles that were prepared with different fabrication conditions. By this method, the initial burst could be repressed properly and drug release rate could decrease.

  • SBR, polyurethane, acryl and epoxy latex were seperately mixed with ethylene-vinylacetate emulsion(EVA) in the range of $0{\sim}50%$ (wt.% ). For the mixtures, the various physical properties were examined. The viscosity of mixtures was mainly influenced by compatability with EVA emulsion, was decreased within 20% (wt.% ) of latex content, and showed the similar values over 20% (wt.% ) of latex content. The workable time of cement mixtures was mainly depended on the reactivity with cement. The formation of film could be only within $30{\sim}40$ minutes from mixing cement. The tack-free time of mixtures was influenced by the sorts of resin and the quantity of cement. The slow order of tack-free time was epoxy mixtures>SBR mixtures>urethane mixtures>acryl mixtures. The pencil hardness of mixtures was $4B{\sim}2H$, represented higher value in cement mixtures than in emulsion state.

  • When processing the biomass by Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC), a slow pyrolysis process, it produces bio-gas, biooil, and biochar. Among these end products, biochar is known for isolating or storing carbon and being used as a soil amendment. In this study, the characteristics of biochar generated by HTC at $250^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, and 20 hours with synthetic food wastes and wood wastes were analyzed for potential uses in soil contaminated with heavy metals. The yield of biochar (weight %) increased when the ratio of wood wastes increased and showed a decreasing tendency as reaction time increased. Elemental analysis of biochar based on various conditions showed a maximum of 70% carbon (C) content. The carbon content showed an increasing tendency with the increase of wood wastes. Iodine adsorption test was peformed to determine the optimum reaction condition, which was 15% wood waste for mixing ratio and 2 hours for reaction time. Using biochar generated at the optimum condition, its capability of adsorbing heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni) was evaluated. It was concluded that lead (Pb) was removed efficiently while zinc (Zn) and nickel (Ni) were hardly adsorbed by biochar.

  • This study investigates the hardening characteristics of the mixture lacquer and glue at room temperature. Diverse samples were made from manufacturing of glue to the adding ratio in sap of the lacquer tree. After the examination of moisture content of samples, it has been seen that there is no relation with glue's kinds or adding ratio, but only with contain level of moisture. The samples made with film shape in order to examine the drying time. Samples with isinglass needed for over three days and had smooth surface. However, samples mixed with animal glue dried within a day and had ripples on the surface because of fast drying rate. In addition, the samples with isinglass had slow change of colour in early step of drying and no colour difference after completely drying although it had significant changes to black oxide as soon as contact with air. In structural analysis with FT-IR showed that the carbonyl bond increased in the samples of mixed with glue, compared to raw lacquer and treated lacquer.

  • A Continous wave tunable $CO_2$ laser which is the slow axial flow type was construccted for the optical pumping of methyl alcohol ($CH_3OH$) laser. The reflective grating of 100 grooveslmm and 10.6$\mu\textrm{m}$ blaze wavelength was used to select wavelength. We have investigated continous outpu: power characteristics, and then have compared tuned output power profile with the gain curve of $CO_2$ laser. The optimum condition for maxium power was found at the gas mixing ratio 1 : 3 : 10 for $CO_2: N_2$ and He. under this condition the flow rate, pressure of lasing gas and discharge current are 9.5 llmin. 14 torr, and 55 mA respectively. The maxium output power was 55 Wlm. Output power of single wavelength operation was measured on 60 individual rotation vibration transitions in the P and K branches of the 9.5$\mu\textrm{m}$ band and 10.4$\mu\textrm{m}$ band in $CO_2$. The output power profile obtained from each band is well consistent with the gain curve of $CO_2$ laser and maxium tuned output power was 20 watt.

  • Horizontal-Flow Roughing Filtration (HRF) is one of altemative pretreatment methods e.g. prior to Slow Sand Filtration (SSF). However, some of its limitations are that the effluent quality drops drastically at higher turbidity (>200 NTU) and at higher filtration rate (>1 m/h). To overcome these drawbacks, we suggested Direct Horizontal-Flow Roughing Filtration (DHRF), which is a modified system of Horizontal-Flow Roughing (HRF) by addition of low dose of coagulant prior to filtration. In this study to optimize the DHRF configuration, a conceptual and mathematical model for the coarse compartment has been developed in analogy with multi-plate settlers. Data from simple column settling test can be used in the model to predict the filter performance. Furthermore, the model developed herein has been validated by successive experiments carried out. The conventional column settling test has been found to be an handy and useful to predict the performance of DHRF for different raw water characteristics (e.g. coagulated or uncoagulated water, different presence of organic matter, etc.) and different inital process conditions (e.g. coagulant dose, mixing time and intensity, etc.). An optimum filter design for the coarse compartment (grain size 20mm) has been found to be of 3 m/h filtration rate with filter length of 4-4.5 m.

  • The uses of multi-dimensional hydrodynamic and water quality models are increasing to support a sustainable management of large dam reservoirs in Korea. Any modeling study requires selection of a proper spatial dimension of the model based on the characteristics of spatial variability of concerned simulation variables. For example, a laterally averaged two-dimensional (2D) model, which has been widely used in many large dam reservoirs in Korea, assumes that the lateral variations of hydrodynamic and water quality variables are negligible. However, there has been limited studies to give a justification of the assumption. The objectives of this study were to present the characteristics of spatial variations of water quality variables through intensive field monitoring in Daechung Reservoir, and provide information on a proper spatial dimension for different water quality parameters. The monitoring results showed that the lateral variations of water temperature are marginal, but those of DO, pH, and conductivity could be significant depending on the hydrological conditions and local algal biomass. In particular, the phytoplankton (Chl-a) and nutrient concentrations showed a significant lateral variation at R2 (Daejeongri) during low flow periods in 2008 possibly because of slow lateral mixing of tributary inflow from So-oak Stream and wind driven patchiness.

  • Whitebox encryption technique is a method of preventing exposure of encryption keys by mixing encryption key information with a software-based encryption algorithm. Whitebox encryption technique is attracting attention as a technology that replaces conventional hardware-based security encryption techniques by making it difficult to infer confidential data and keys by accessing memory with unauthorized reverse engineering analysis. However, in the encryption and decryption process, a large lookup table is used to hide computational results and encryption keys, resulting in a problem of slow encryption and increased memory size. In particular, it is difficult to apply whitebox cryptography to low-cost, low-power, and light-weight Internet of Things products due to limited memory space and battery capacity. In addition, in a network environment that requires real-time service support, the response delay time increases due to the encryption/decryption speed of the whitebox encryption, resulting in deterioration of communication efficiency. Therefore, in this paper, we analyze whether the AES-based whitebox(WBC-AES) proposed by S.Chow can satisfy the speed and memory requirements based on the experimental results.
