While increased use of motor cycles in the recent years for various demands could worsen air quality, only few studies have been conducted on estimation of emission factors and characterization of emissions from motorcycle. In this study, emissions from selected six models of motorcycle based on largest market share and production rate were investigated. To investigate gaseous and carbonaceous air pollutants, such as carbon monoxide (CO), total hydrocarbon (THC), nitrogen oxide ($NO_x$), elemental carbon (EC) and organic carbon (OC), total 124 motorcycles between 2003 and 2007 model year were tested with regulatory driving conditions, such as CVS-40 and CVS-47 mode. These motorcycles were further sub-categorized based on their displacement (< 50 cc, 50~150 cc, and $\geq$ 150 cc), type of stroke (2- and 4 strokes) and model year (2003~2005 and 2006~2007). Tested motorcycles with recent model year (2006~2007) exhibited less emissions of regulatory gaseous and carbonaceous air pollutants compared to old model year (2003~2005). Chemical analysis showed that CO present in highest concentration followed by THC and $NO_x$ for all tested motorcycles. Interestingly, two strokes motorcycle produced higher THC emission but less CO and $NO_x$ than those of four strokes. For all types of displacement and stroke, emission factors (gram per kilometer) of THC and CO except $NO_x$ with recent model year (2006~2007) showed decreased trend compared to old model year (2003~2005). In addition to this, due to mixed combustion between gasoline fuel and lubricant, two strokes motorcycle showed OC > EC emission trend.

In this paper, the effects of ethanol blended gasoline on emissions and their catalytic conversion efficiency characteristics were investigated in a multiple-point EFI gasoline engine, The results show that with the increase of ethanol concentration in the blended fuels, THC emissions were drastically reduced by up to thirty percent, And brake specific fuel consumption was increased, but brake specific energy consumption could be improved. However, unburned ethanol and acetaldehyde emissions increased. Pt/Rh based three-way catalysts were effective to reduce acetaldehyde emissions, but had low catalytic conversion efficiency for unburned ethanol. The effect of ethanol on CO and NOx emissions and their catalytic conversion efficiency had close relation to the engine's speed, load and air/fuel ratio. Furthermore fuels blended with thirty percent ethanol by volume could dramatically reduced THC CO and NOx emissions at idle speed.

I사의 전기로 제강 슬래그(이하 슬래그)는 상당량의 금속철(metal Fe)과 wustite(FeO), magnetite(Fe$_3$O$_4$), gehlenite(${CaAl}_{2}{SiO}_{7}$) 및 monticellite(CaMgSiO$_4$)등으로 구성된다. 슬래그에 함유된 금속철(Fe 품위: 95%이상)을 회수하기 위해서는 금속철을 단ㄱ체로 분리시키는 것이 바람직하며, 매립으로 활용할 수밖에 없는 슬래그를 단계적으로 파쇄하면 대부분의 금속철은 구상의 단체로 분리된다. 구상의 단체인 금속철의 크기에 따라 흡인되는 자장의 세기를 측정하면 금속철이 흡인되는 최소 자장의 세기는 약 100G로 거의 일정하다. 다단계로 파쇄한 슬래그를 100G의 자장에서 회수한 산물은 95%이상의 철분이 함유된 금속철이었으나, 자장의 세기를 증가시키면 철의 산화물 및 알칼리 토금속류의 화합물등도 함께 회수되므로 품위가 저하된다. 따라서 매립되는 슬래그를 다단계로 파쇠하고, 각 입도에서 100G로 자선하면 파쇄된 슬래그에 함유된 대부분의 금속철을 회수할 수 있다. I사에서 매립하는 35만톤의 슬래그를 다단계로 파쇄하는 경우에, 30~4.7mm의 입도에서는 매립되는 전체 슬래그중의 약 0.73%인 2천 5백톤 정도의 금속철이 100G의 자장에서 회수될 수 있고, 4.7~0.3mm서도 약 1.2%인 4천 2백톤 정도가 회수될 수 있다. 그러므로 자력선별로 회수할 수 있는 금속철은 매립되는 슬래그중의 약 1.9%인 6천 7백톤 정도가 된다.

Tropical tasar silkworm Antheraea mylitta Drury experiences extreme temperature stress conditions during its life cycle particularly during diapauses and first crop. The present study witnessed the impact of high temperature on some biochemical profiles and egg production (fecundity) of semi-domesticated Daba and Shorea robusta (Sal) based wild ecorace Laria during seed cocoon (pupa) preservation. Cocoons of Daba and Laria were treated with high temperature at $40^{\circ}C$ for 10 days in a BOD incubator. The protein profile and carbohydrate content in the hemolymph and fat body and total haemocyte count (THC) in the hemolymph of pupa were investigated. Further, the fecundity and fertility of egg was assessed. Significant increase in the protein concentration was observed in the hemolymph with reduction in the fat body (p<0.05). The difference in protein concentration was highly significant between the semidomesticated Daba and wild ecorace Laria (p<0.05). High pupal mortality (20%) and reduced fecundity (10-15%) in Daba was noticed compared to wild Laria. Also an increased THC (>28000) was recorded in Laria. The study infers the potentials of wild ecoraces in sustaining the extreme temperature conditions and need of adopting suitable package of practices for the preservation of diapause seed cocoons during extreme summer conditions. There is possibility to introgression thermal stress resistant traits in the semi-domesticated races of tasar silkworm by resorting to conventional breeding plans with wild races and keeping the thermal stress induced response as markers.

An analytical method was developed for evaluating the cannabidiol (CBO), cannabinol (CBN), ${\Delta}^9-tetrahydrocannabinol$ $({\Delta}^9-THC)$ level in human hair using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Hair samples (50mg) were washed with isopropyl alcohol and cut into small fragments (< 1mm). After adding a deuterated internal standard, the hair samples were incubated in 1.0M NaOH for 10 min at $95^{\circ}C$. The analytes from the resulting hydrolyzed samples were extracted using a mixture of n-hexane-ethyl acetate (75:25, v/v). The extracts were then evaporated, derivatized, and injected into the GC-MS. The recovery ranges of CBD, CBN, and ${\Delta}^9-THC$ at three concentration levels were $37.9-94.5\%$ with good correlation coefficients $(r^2>0.9989)$. The intra-day precision and accuracy ranged from $-9.4\%\;to\;17.7\%$, and the inter-day precision and accuracy ranged from $-15.5\%\;to\;14.5\%$, respectively. The limits of detection (LOD) for CBD, CBN, and ${\Delta}^9-THC$ were 0.005, 0.002, and 0.006 ng/mg, respectively. The applicability of this method of analyzing the hair samples from cannabis abusers was demonstrated.

This study analyses the characteristics of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emissions from the painting and printing facilities, as well as ambient VOCs at industrial complexes in Gwangju. The major components of VOCs emissions from painting facilities were toluene, acetone, 2-butanone, ethyl acetate, ethyl benzene, o-xylene and m,p-xylene. The printing facilities mostly emitted ethyl acetate, 2-butanone, acetone and toluene. Aromatics (49.9%) and oxygenated VOCs (43.6%) were dominant in painting facilities, while oxygenated VOCs (92.7%) were the largest group in printing facilities. The total hydrocarbon concentration (THC) in printing facilities was approximately six times higher than in the painting facilities. The painting and printing facilities use many solvents. Their THC concentrations differed considerably depending on the type of prevention facilities. To reduce THC, it is necessary to improve the prevention facilities and operating conditions. The dominant species of ambient VOCs in industrial complexes were investigated with toluene, ethyl acetate, 2-butanone, ethyl benzene, m,p-xylene, butyl acetate, o-xylene, hexane and acetone. Factor analysis of ambient VOCs showed that the main sources of the VOCs were organic solvents used in painting, coating, and printing, as well as automobile emissions.

경남 단성의 대명광산 고령토의 전기영동에 의한 표면전위를 조사하였다. 고분자응집제, 수소이온 및 전해질의 농도변화에 따른 응집 정도를 알아보기 위하여 현탁상등액의 빛 투과율을 측정하였다. 수용액에서 고령토 미립자의 등전위점이 pH 3.2 부근으로 나타났으며, 등전위점 근처에서 최고의 응집효과가 나타났다. 고령토 미립자에 대한 Accofloc 고분자응집제의 응집효과는 음이온(A-110)<비이온(N-100)<양이온(C-482)순으로 높았으며, 4ppm 정도로도 충분한 효과를 나타냈다. 양이온 고분자응집제의 응집효과는 Superfloc(C-577)에 비하여 Accofloc(C-482)이 더 좋은 결과를 보였다. NaCl 만으로는 응집효과가 없었으나, 고분자응집제와 병용시에는 고분자응집제 만을 사용할 때보다 더 향상된 응집효과를 나타냈다.

Curcumin and its analogues(Tetrahydrocurcumin THC, demethoxycurcumin ; BDMC and dimethoxycurcumin DiMC) were compared for their ability to inhibit the growth of human leukemia HL-60 cells. The growth of HL-60 cells was inhibited by curcumin, DeMC and DiMC, but not by THC lacking ${\alpha},{\beta}-unsaturated$ carbonyl groups thus suggesting that ${\alpha},{\beta}-unsaturated$ carbonyl groups are crucial for antiproliferative activity. The order of antiproliferative activity was DiMC, curcumin and BDMC indicating that the number of methoxy groups on the aromatic rings of the active compounds plays an important role in enhancing anti-proliferating activity. In comparison with cellular uptake of the active compounds, uptake capacity was found to be highest with DiMC, followed by curcumin and BDMC. Therefore, it is most likely that the differential antiproliferative activities of DiMC, curcumin and BDMC are associated with their capacities of cellular uptake resulting in building up of enough concentration inside the cells.

A field study was conducted to evaluate air quality from gas stations with and without Stage II vapor recovery systems that are currently used to reduce VOCs. The THC and VOCs levels were monitored for the test at three locations (inside office, around refueling area, site boundary) from a total of five gas stations. The results showed a considerable reduction in THC concentration which ranged from 48.7% to 81.8% with and without the operation of the Stage II VRS. Acoording to our comparative analysis, BTEX and other 19 VOCs levels were also significantly reduced with Stage II vapor recovery systems.

Diesel low temperature combustion (LTC) is the concept where fuel is burned at a low temperature oxidation regime so that $NO_x$ and particulate matters (PM) can simultaneously be reduced. There are two ways to realize low temperature combustion in compression ignition engines. One is to supply a large amount of EGR gas combined with advanced fuel injection timing. The other is to use a moderate level of EGR with fuel injection at near TDC which is generally called Modulated kinetics (MK) method. In this study, the effects of fuel injection pressure on performance and emissions of a single cylinder engine were evaluated using the latter approach. The engine test results show that MK operations were successfully achieved over a range of with 950 to 1050 bar in injection pressure with 16% $O_2$ concentration, and $NO_x$ and PM were significantly suppressed at the same time. In addition, with an increase in fuel injection pressure, the levels of smoke, THC and CO were decreased while $NO_x$ emissions were increased. Moreover, as fuel injection timing retarded to TDC, more THC and CO emissions were generated, but smoke and $NO_x$ were decreased.
