In this work, the defrosting characteristics of PTC heating sheet used as a defrosting heat source of fin-tube heat exchanger in a refrigerator have been experimentally compared with those of conventional electric heater. It is found that the characteristics of water draining rate with defrosting time show smoothly oscillating pattern when PTC heating sheet is used, and the drained water is completely melted. The defrosting efficiency of the PTC heating sheet is about 75%, which represents about 25% higher than that of the electric heater. A reduction of defrosting time and an increase of defrosting efficiency may be obtained by improving the arrangement of heating elements of the heating sheet. It is shown that the defrosting time of PTC heating sheet increases linearly with the amount of frost, however the defrosting efficiency is nearly constant. In the application to the refrigerating system, one should notice the fact that the defrosting performance of PTC heating sheet may be defraded due to the repeated operations.

In this study, polysufone (PSf) was used as a base polymer to synthesize sulfonated polysulfone (SPSf) and aminated polysulfone (APSf) as cation and anion exchange polymers, respectively. Then the ion exchange polymers were coated onto the surface of commercial carbon electrodes. To compare the capacitive deionization (CDI) and membrane capacitive deionization (MCDI) processes, the pristine carbon electrodes and ionic polymer coated electrodes were tested under various operating conditions such as feed flow rate, adsorption time at fixed desorption time, and feed concentration, etc., in terms of effluent concentration and salt removal efficiency. The MCDI was confirmed to be superior to the CDI process. The performance of MCDI was 2-3 times higher than that of CDI. In particular, the reverse desorption potential was a lot better than zero potential. Typically, the salt removal efficiency 100% for 100 mg/L NaCl was obtained for MCDI at feed flow rate of 15 ml/min and adsorption/desorption time of 3 min/1 min and applied voltages 1.0 V for adsorption and -0.3 V for desorption process, and for 500 mg/L, the salt removal efficiency 91% was observed.

The effect of pulp consistency on the deinking properties in the ozone deinking of ONP was investigated in order to develop the environmentally friendly deinking method. The pulp consistency and ozone treatment time were varied for this purpose. Higher pulp consistency during ozone treatment gave better ink removal efficiency than the conventional deinking method. In was also found that the increase of pulp consistency can decrease the ozone treatment time which can meet the deinking quality. WRV of ozone deinked pulp obtained at 10% and 30% of pulp consistencies was lower than those of the conventional deinking method. However, the higher pulp consistency during ozone treatment improved WRV. Highest brightness was obtained at the ozone treatment condition of 30% pulp consistency and 10 minutes. The lower brightness at the other ozone treatment condition should be originated from the excessive decrease of ink particle size and then decrease of true ink removal efficiency. Scott bond was increased with the increase of pulp consistency and treatment time. However, the improvement of breaking length with ozone treatment was no significant.

To study the characteristics of AC driven OLED, we fabricated the fluorescent OLEDs and analyzed the electroluminescence characteristics of OLEDs with AC negative voltage. The luminance and the current density of the OLED decreased, and the number and size of the dark spots increased in proportion to the duration time and level of the applied AC negative voltage. The current efficiency of the OLED was improved when high AC negative voltage was applied within a short time. When the AC negative voltage of 10 V was applied for 1 minute, the efficiency was improved by 12.4%. Also, the degradation of luminance and current efficiency due to the duration of light emission was improved in the case of OLED applied for 1 minute with 10 V AC negative voltage. These are expected as a result of the improvement of the leakage current characteristics by eliminating the short-circuit region formed by the defect of the OLED at the AC negative high voltage. As a result, the continuous application of AC negative voltage reduced the luminance and the current density of OLED, but the temporary application of AC negative voltage with the proper time and voltage could improve the efficiency and lifetime of OLED.

The existing DEA models have been devoted to evaluate relative efficiency of DMUs based on multiple input and output factors of a same period. However, a certain kind of lead time can be required to produce outputs using inputs in an organization. R&D evaluation is a typical area with this kinds of time lag. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to develop a new DEA model to deal with time lag effect in performance evaluation. The proposed model is to find relative efficiency of each DMU for each period considering the time lag effect. A case example using a real data set is also given to show the usage or implication of the suggested model. The results are compared with the ones of the CCR model and the multi-periods input model.

Dynamic memory allocators for real-time embedded systems need to fulfill three fundamental requirements: bounded worst-case execution time, fast average execution time, and minimal fragmentation. Since embedded systems generally run continuously during their whole lifetime, fragmentation is one of the most important factors in designing the memory allocator. This paper focuses on minimizing fragmentation while other requirements are still satisfied. To minimize fragmentation, a part of a memory region is segregated by the proposed budgeting method that exploits the memory profile of the given application. The budgeting method can be applied for any existing memory allocators. Experimental results show that the memory efficiency of allocators can be improved by up to 18.85% by using the budgeting method. Its worst-case execution time is analyzed to be bounded.

In order to identify Vibrio vulnificus in the Yellow Sea near Gunsan, Korea during the early and late summers, the efficiency of the real-time quantitative TaqMan PCR was compared to the efficiency of the conventional PCR and Biolog identification system^TM. Primers and a probe were designed from the hemolysin/cytolysin gene sequence of V. vulnificus strains. The number of positive detections by real-time quantitative TaqMan PCR, conventional PCR, and the Biolog identification system from seawater were 53 (36.8%), 36 (25%), and 10 strains (6.9%), respectively, among 144 samples collected from Yellow Sea near Gunsan, Korea. Thus, the detection method of the real-time quantitative TaqMan PCR assay was more effective in terms of accuracy than that of the conventional PCR and Biolog system. Therefore, our results showed that the real-time TaqMan probe and the primer set developed in this study can be applied successfully as a rapid screening tool for the detection of V. vulnificus.

본 연구는 부산광역시의 15개 자치구에 대한 2003년부터 2007년까지의 5년간 자료를 가지고 DEA 와 DEA/Window 분석을 적용하여 자치구의 단일기간의 효율성 및 시대별 효율성 변동을 분석하였다. 분석을 위해 투입요인으로 공무원 수, 인건비, 인구수, 주민 세출액을 선정하였으며, 산출요인으로 민원처리건수, 지방세 정수액, 그리고 재정자립도를 선정하였다. 본 연구는 서로 다른 자치구의 효율성이 시대별로 어느 정도 변동하고 있는지를 분석할 수 있는 평가 모형을 제시하고 있으며, 분석결과로는 자치구의 효율성이 2003년부터 줄어들고 있음을 보여주고 있다. 실증분석은 비효율성이 일부 자치구의 특정 시점에서 존재하고 있음을 밝히고 있으며, DENWindow 분석의 필요성을 보여주고 있다. DENWindow 분석은 윈도우 1에서 윈도우 3으로 갈수록 자치구의 효율성이 점차 낮아지고 있음을 보여주고 있다.

This paper studies the efficiency of four algorithms in determining the shortest-route length between two specified nodes of a network in which every pair of nodes is connected by two nonnegative length arcs. The efficiency is measured in terms of number of additions and comparisons in computation of the shortest-route length. Also, each algorithm is programmed on the IBM 1130 for solving for example problems, and the computing time is measured for further efficiency comparisons.

The adsorption efficiency of some adsorbents for the organic solvents and gas phase of smoke was investigated. 1. Specific surface area of activated carbon increased to 1900 mfg with increased activation time. 2. Adsorption efficiency of benzene and acetone increased with increasing total surface area. Adsorption capacity for gas phase such as hydrogen cyanide, aldehyde was proportional to the micro pore surface area under 20A. 3. The removal efficiency of particulate matter of smoke was higher with the adsorbents of relatively higher pore size compared to that of micro pore.
