This study was undertaken to measure the properties of individual mineral particles in an artificially saturated atmosphere at a vertical extinct mine with 430 m height. By synchrotron radiation X-ray fluorescence (SR-XRF) microprobe analysis, it was possible to determine the elemental composition of residual insoluble particles on individual cloud droplet replicas formed on the Collodion film. The XRF visualized elemental maps enabled us not only to presume the chemical mixing state of particles retained in cloud droplet, but also to estimate their source. Details about the individual mineral particles captured by artificial cloud droplets should be helpful to understand about the removal characteristics of dust particles such as interaction with clouds. Nearly all individual particles captured in cloud droplets are strongly enriched in Fe. Mass of Fe is ranged between 41 fg and 360 fg with average 112 fg. There is a good agreement between single particle analysis by SR-XRF and bulk particle analysis by PIXE.

A Plankton ecosystem model was developed to investigate effects of hydrodynamic processes including advection and diffusion on size-structured phytoplankton dynamics in the mesohaline zone of the York River estuarine system, Virginia, USA. The model included 12 state variables representing the distribution of carbon and nutrients in the surface mixed layer. Groupings of autotrophs and heterotrophs were based on cell site and ecological hierarchy Forcing functions included incident radiation, temperature, wind stress, mean How and tide which includes advective transport and turbulent mixing. The ecosystem model was developed in FORTRAN using differential equations that were solved using the 4th order Runge-Kutta technique. The model showed that microphytoplankton blooms during winter-spring resulted from a combination of vertical advection and diffusion of phytoplankton cells rather than in-situ production in the lower York River estuary.

This paper is on a stereo acoustic echo canceller with the blind signal separation for post processing. The convergence speed of the stereo acoustic echo canceller is deteriorated due to mixing two residual signals which are update signals of each echo canceller. To solve this problem, we are to use the blind signal separation(BSS) method separating the mixed signals after the echo cancellers. The blind signal separation method can extracts the source signals by means of the iterative computations with two input signals. We had verified performances of the proposed acoustic echo canceller for stereo through simulations. The results of simulations show that the acoustic echo canceller for stereo using this algorithm operates stably without divergence in the normal state. And, when the speech signals were inputted, this echo canceller achieved about 2dB higher ERLE with the BSS post processing method than without this method. This stereo echo canceller showed the best performance in the case of inputting the real voice signal.

The objective of this study is to develop the Non-compacting concrete with mormal strength in practice by using viscosity agent and flyash. In this paper, we present the reference data about not only the properties of Non-compacting concrete at fresh state such as flowability, segregation-resistibility, placebility and so on but, optimum mixing design using viscosity agent and flyash. The test results indicate that optimum dosage of viscosity agent in combination of flyash in 50% of W/C is about 400g/$\textrm{m}^3$ with 20% of the ratio of flyash replacement.

Thin Si films were grown by a plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD, SNTEK, Korea) system. Two different deposition condition were applied and formed a fully amorphous Si (a-Si) film and a micromorph mixing of microcrystalline Si (mc-Si) and a-Si film. Under one sun illumination, the micromorph device provided the enhanced open circuit voltage and fill factor values. It presents the fabrication of the micromorph Si film and the a-Si film by modulating a deposition condition. The performances of the Si thin film Schottky solar cells are discussed.

A new synthesis route for Pt nanoparticles by direct electrochemical reduction of a solid-state Pt ion precursor ($K_2PtCl_6$) is demonstrated. Solid $K_2PtCl_6$-supported polyethyleneimine (PEI) coatings on the surface of glassy carbon electrode were prepared by simple mixing of solid $K_2PtCl_6$ into a 1.0% PEI solution. The potential cycling or a constant potential in a PBS (pH 7.4) medium were applied to reduce the solid $K_2PtCl_6$ precursor. The reduction of Pt(IV) began at around -0.2 V and the reduction potential was ca. -0.4 V. A steady state current was achieved after 10 potential cycling scans, indicating that continuous formation of Pt nanoparticles by electrochemical reduction occurred for up to 10 cycles. After applying the reduction potential of -0.6 V for 300 s, Pt nanoparticles with diameters ranging from $0.02-0.5{\mu}m$ were observed, with an even distribution over the entire glassy carbon electrode surface. Characteristics of the Pt nanoparticles, including their performance in electrochemical reduction of $H_2O_2$ are examined. A distinct reduction peak observed at about -0.20 V was due to the electrocatalytic reduction of $H_2O_2$ by Pt nanoparticles. From the calibration plot, the linear range for $H_2O_2$ detection was 0.1-2.0 mM and the detection limit for $H_2O_2$ was found to be 0.05 mM.

$LiNi_{1-y}Ga_yO_2$ (y = 0.005, 0.010, 0.025, 0.050, and 0.100) were synthesized by the solid-state reaction method after mechanical mixing, and their_electrochemical properties were investigated. All the $LiNi_{1-y}Ga_yO_2$ (y=0.005, 0.010, 0.025, 0.050, and 0.100) samples had the R3m structure. The sample with y = 0.025 showed the largest first discharge capacity (131.4 mAh/g) and good cycling performance [discharge capacity 117.5 mAh/g ($89.4{\%}$ of the first discharge capacity) at the 20th cycle]. The first discharge capacity decreased as the value of y increased. The samples with y = 0.010 and y = 0.005 had small R-factor but their cycling performance was worse than that of the sample with y = 0.025. All the $LiNi_{1-y}Ga_yO_2$ samples had smaller discharge capacities than $LiNiO_2$, but their cycling performances were better than that of $LiNiO_2$.

[ $LiNiO_2$ ] was synthesized by the solid-state method after mixing $LiOH{\cdot}H_2O$ and $Ni(OH)_2$ with SPEX mill. The optimum condition for the synthesis of $LiNiO_2$ was the calcination at $750^{\circ}C$ for 30h in $O_2$ stream after milling for 1 h. The $LiNiO_2$ synthesized under this condition showed relatively large value of $I_{003}/I_{104}$ and relatively small value of R-factor. When $LiNiO_2$ was cycled in 2.7$\~$4.15 V at 0.1C-rate, the first discharge capacity was not very large (145.8 mAh/g) but it showed good cycling performance. When $LiNiO_2$ was cycled in 2.7$\~$4.2 V at 0.1C-rate, the first discharge capacity was large but ,it showed poor cycling performance probably because of the transition of H2 hexagonal structure to H3 hexagonal structure. In addition, when $LiNiO_2$ was cycled in 1.0$\~$4.8 V at 1/24C- rate, the first discharge capacity was very large (257.7 mAh/g) and the discharge capacity increased with the number of cycles.

Of the roughly four million known substances, about 60,000 are processed and sold ; many of these must be dried. Many materials are processed in the liquid state - ideal for mixing and reacting - but most products are needed or wanted as dry, or relatively dry, solids. Usually operation is just below atmospheric pressure, as with direct dryers, but some are built for vacuum operation with pressures as low as 26.66kPa abs.. In spite of the global-class aquiculture agriculture and fisheries technology of our country, the processing technologies are lags behind the other nations relatively. These problems are considered to be caused directly by the lack of drying technologies. This paper is concerned to the experimental results of drying heat transfer characteristics for the green energy type vacuum dryer for the high quality agriculture and fisheries production.

In this study the mixing process of two-phase flow which makes two jets existing vlocity difference are analyzed. The primary jet is jetted on the condition of the state mixed pulverized solid pariticle with air and the velocity in the secondary jet is changed into three kinds velocities(0.60, 75m/s) The velocity vector field concentration field and turbulent properties of solid particles are measured by using 3-Dimensional Particles Dynamics Analyzer. As the velocity of secondary jet increases the solid particle recirculation zone becomes larger. Also solid particle concentration gets dense due to velocity decrement of particles.
