The aim of this research was to apply a method designed to derive the factors influencing total ammonia removal when operating an additional pretreatment system at Aquaponics. The Box-Behnken method, among response surface analysis methods was used to characterize and determine the optimal nitrification conditions when operating the pretreatment system. Among the mathematically and statistically calculated prediction equations, the total ammonia nitrogen concentration Y1 measured on day 8 was derived as Y₁=-195.8+2.23X₁+42.9X₂+47.5X₃+0.1856X₁²-1.380X₁X₂-1.770X₁X₃, and the time taken to reach the maximum total ammonia nitrogen concentration during the experiment period was derived as Y₂=271-5.04X₁+60.5X₂-64.8X₃+0.1654X₁²+6.54X₃²-0.600X₁X₃-9.00X₂X₃. The coefficients of determination of the regression models of Y₁ and Y₂ were 93.99% and 94.46%, respectively. The modified coefficients of determination were also high, at 89.48% and 88.91%, respectively. The prediction coefficients of determination of Y₁ and Y₂, were 70.68% and 62.11%, respectively, which was relatively lower than that of Y1, but still indicated a reliable prediction performance.

In this study, in order to develop low temperature sintering piezoelectric ceramics for LTCC (Low-Temperature Cofired Ceramic) multilayer piezoelectric actuator, PMW-PMN-PZT ceramics using $0.2wt%\; Li_2CO_3$ and $0.25wt%\;CaCO_3$ as sintering aids were investigated according to the varation of PMW substution. Composition ceramics could be sintered at $900^{\circ}C$ by adding sintering aids. As the amount of PMW substitution increased, the crystal structure of PMW-PMN-PZT ceramics moved from tetragonal phase to rhombohedral phase gradually, and MPB(Morphotrophic Phase Boundary) region appeared at 2 mol% PMW substitution. At the sintering temperature of $900^{\circ}C$, the density, electromechanical coupling factor(kp), mechanical quality factor(Qm), dielectric constant(${\epsilon}r$), piezoelectric constant(d33) and Curie temperature(Tc) of 2 mol% PMW substituted PMW-PMN-PZT ceramics showed the optimal values of $7.88g/cm^3$, 0.58, 1002, 1264, 352 pC/N and $336^{\circ}C$, respectively, for LTCC multilayer piezoelectric actuator application.

The (Ga_1-xZn_x)(N_1-xO_x) solid solution is attracting extensive attention for photocatalytic water splitting and wastewater treatment owing to its narrow and controllable band gap. To optimize the photocatalytic performance of the solid solution, the key points are to decrease its band gap and recombination rate. In this study, (Ga_1-xZn_x)(N_1-xO_x) nanofibers with various Zn fractions are prepared by electrospinning followed by calcination and nitridation. The effect of the composition and crystallinity of electrospun oxide nanofibers on the morphology and optical properties of the obtained solid-solution nanofibers are systematically investigated. The results show that the final shape of the (Ga_1-xZn_x) (N_1-xO_x) material is greatly affected by the crystallinity of the oxide nanofibers before nitridation. The photocatalytic properties of (Ga_1-xZn_x)(N_1-xO_x) with different Ga:Zn atomic ratios are investigated by studying the degradation of rhodamine B under visible light irradiation.

The Komdok Pb-Zn deposit, which is the largest Pb-Zn deposit in Korea, is located at the Hyesan-Riwon metallogenic zone in Jiao Liao Ji belt included Paleoproterozoic Macheolryeong group. The geology of this deposit consists of Paleoproterozoic metasedimentary rocks, Jurassic Mantapsan intrusive rocks and Cenozoic basalt. The Komdok deposit which is a SEDEX type deposit occurs as layer ore and vein ore in the Paleoproterozoic metasedimentary rocks. Based on mineral petrography and paragenesis, dolomites from this deposit are classified four types (1. dolomite (D₀) as hostrock, 2. early dolomite (D₁) associated with tremolite, actinolite, diopside, sphalerite and galena from amphibolite facies, 3. late dolomite (D₂) associated with talc, calcite, quartz, sphalerite and galena from amphibolite facies, 4. dolomite (D₃) associated with white mica, chlorite, sphalerite and galena from quartz vein). The structural formulars of dolomites are determined to be Ca_1.00-1.20Mg_0.80-0.99Fe_0.00-0.01Zn_0.00-0.02(CO₃)₂(D₀), Ca_1.00-1.02M_0.97-0.99Fe_0.00-0.01Zn_0.00-0.02(CO₃)₂(D₁), Ca_0.99-1.03Mg_0.93-0.98Fe_0.01-0.05Mn_0.00-0.01As_0.00-0.01(CO₃)₂(D₂) and Ca_0.95-1.04Mg_0.59-0.68Fe_0.30-0.36Mn_0.00-0.01 (CO₃)₂(D₃), respectively. It means that dolomites from Komdok deposit have higher content of trace elements (FeO, MnO, HfO₂, ZnO, PbO, Sb₂O₅ and As₂O₅) compared to the theoretical composition of dolomite. These trace elements (FeO, MnO, ZnO, Sb₂O₅ and As₂O₅) show increase and decrease trend according to paragenetic sequence, but HfO₂ and PbO elements no show increase and decrease trend according to paragenetic sequence. Dolomites correspond to Ferroan dolomite (D₀, D₁ and D₂), and Ferroan dolomite and ankerite (D₃), respectively. Therefore, 1) dolomite (D₀) as hostrock was formed by subsequent diagenesis after sedimentation of Paleoproterozoic (2012~1700 Ma) silica-bearing dolomite in the marine evaporative environment. 2) Early dolomite (D₁) was formed by hydrothermal metasomatism origined metamorphism (amphibolite facies) associated with intrusion (1890~1680 Ma) of Paleoproterozoic Riwon complex. 3) Late dolomte (D₂) was formed from residual fluid by a decrease of temperature and pressure. and dolomite (D₃) in quartz vein was formed by intrusion (213~181 Ma) of Jurassic Mantapsan intrusive rocks.

A set {a₁, a₂, ⋯ , a_m} of positive integers is called a Diophantine m-tuple if a_ia_j + 1 is a perfect square for all 1 ≤ i < j ≤ m. Let F_n be the nth Fibonacci number which is defined by F₀ = 0, F₁ = 1 and F_n+2 = F_n+1 + F_n. In this paper, we find the extendibility of Diophantine pairs {F_2k, b} with some conditions.

Maynard proved that there exists an effectively computable constant q1 such that if q ≥ q1, then $\frac{{\log}\;q}{\sqrt{q}{\phi}(q)}Li(x){\ll}{\pi}(x;\;q,\;m)<\frac{2}{{\phi}(q)}Li(x)$ for x ≥ q8. In this paper, we will show the following. Let 𝛿1 and 𝛿2 be positive constants with 0 < 𝛿1, 𝛿2 < 1 and 𝛿1 + 𝛿2 > 1. Assume that L ≠ ℚ is a number field. Then there exist effectively computable constants c0 and d1 such that for dL ≥ d1 and x ≥ exp (326n𝛿1L(log dL)1+𝛿2), we have $$\|{\pi}_C(x)-\frac{{\mid}C{\mid}}{{\mid}G{\mid}}Li(x)\|\;{\leq}\;\(1-c_0\frac{1og\;d_L}{d^{7.072}_L}\)\;\frac{{\mid}C{\mid}}{{\mid}G{\mid}}Li(x)$$.

In this study, the phase transition behaviors of lead-free (Na_1/2Bi_1/2TiO₃)_(1-x)-(BaTiO₃)_x (NBT-BT) are investigated by using Brillouin spectroscopy. The elastic properties, sound velocity and absorption coefficient of NBT-BT are characterized as a function of temperature along different crystallographic axes. The temperature dependences of the elastic constants of NBT-BT near the morphotropic phase boundary are determined for the first time. The unpoled NBT-BT single crystals exhibits the typical relaxor behaviors, presenting broad acoustic and dielectric anomalies. The application of electric field induced discontinuous changes in the elastic properties at ~110℃, which indicates field-induced phase transition occurred. The electric field also changes the dielectric constant from more relaxor-like to ferroelectric-like dielectric behavior.

Let 𝔼 be a CAT(0) space and K be a nonempty closed convex subset of 𝔼. Let T : K → 𝓟(K) be a multimap such that F(T) ≠ ∅ and ℙ_T(x) = {y ∈ Tx : d(x, y) = d(x, Tx)}. Define sequence {x_n} by x_n+1 = (1 - α)𝜈_n⊕αw_n, y_n = (1 - β)u_n⊕βw_n, z_n = (1-γ)x_n⊕γu_n where α, β, γ ∈ [0; 1]; u_n ∈ ℙ_T (x_n); 𝜈_n ∈ ℙ_T (y_n) and w_n ∈ ℙ_T (z_n). (1) If ℙ_T is quasi-nonexpansive, then it is proved that {x_n} converges strongly to a fixed point of T. (2) If a multimap T satisfies Condition(I) and ℙ_T is quasi-nonexpansive, then {x_n} converges strongly to a fixed point of T. (3) Finally, we establish a weak convergence result. Our results extend and unify some of the related results in the literature.

In this study, in order to develop the multilayer piezoelectric actuator and ultrasonic resonator, PMN-PNN-PZT ceramics were fabricated by sintering with $Li_2CO_3-Na_2CO_3$ as sintering aids at $950^{\circ}C$ and their piezoelectric and dielectric characteristics were investigated as a function of PNN substitution. With increasing PNN substitution, dielectric constant(${\epsilon}_r$), electromechanical coupling factor(kp), and piezoelectric d constant($d_{33}$) were increased to $12 mol\%$ PNN substitution and then showed a tendency to decrease rapidly With increasing PNN substitution, crystal structure changed from tetragonal to rhombohedral at $12 mol\%$ PNN substitution and then secondary phase was appeared and its intensity was increased. At the $12 mol\%$ PNN substituted PMN-PZT composition ceramic sintered at $950^{\circ}C$, density, kp, $d_{33}$ and Qm showed the optimum value of $7.79 g/cm^3$, 0.599, 419 pC/N, and 894, respectively for multilayer piezoelectric actuator application.
