Batch test methods have developed for a long time to measure kinetic and stoichiometric parameters which are required to perform steady state design and mathematical modelling of activated sludge processes. However, at various So/Xo ratios, abnormal behaviors of ordinary heterotrophic organism in batch tests have been reported in many researches. Thus, in this research, abnormal behaviors of heterotrophs in batch tests were investigated at various So/Xo conditions by measuring and interpreting oxygen utilization rate. As So/Xo ratio increased, the calculated values of maximum specific growth rates, ${\mu}_{H,max}$ and $K_{MP,max}$, increased. However, at a certain point of So/Xo (around 10mgCOD/mgMLAVSS), ${\mu}_{H,max}$ and $K_{MP,max}$ values started to decrease. According to this observation, three prominent behaviours of heterotrophs were identified at various So/Xo conditions. (1) At low So/Xo region (below 5 mgCOD/mgMLAVSS), the oxygen utilization rate of heterotrophs in batch tests were almost stable and consequently yielded lower maximum specific growth rate. (2) At high So/Xo region (up to 5~10 mgCOD/mgMLAVSS), oxygen utilization rate incresed sharply with time and indicated more upward curvature than the predicted OUR with conventional activated sludge model, which consists of single hetetrotrophs group. Thus, in this region, competition model of two organisms, fast-grower and slow-grower, seemed to be appropriate. (3) At extremely high So/Xo region (over 10mgCOD/mgMLAVSS), significant oxygen utilization rate was still observed even after depletion of readily biodegradable COD. This might be caused by retarded utilization of intermediates which were generated by self inhibition mechanism in the process of RBCOD uptake.

In a group-testing method, instead of testing a sample, for example, blood individually, a batch of samples are pooled and tested simultaneously. If the pooled test is positive (or defective), each sample is tested individually. However, if negative (or good), the test is terminated at one pooled test because all samples in the batch are negative. This paper considers a queueing system with a two-stage group-testing policy. Samples arrive at the system according to a Poisson process. The system has a single server which starts a two-stage group test in a batch whenever the number of samples in the system reaches exactly a predetermined size. In the first stage, samples are pooled and tested simultaneously. If the pooled test is negative, the test is terminated. However, if positive, the samples are divided into two equally sized subgroups and each subgroup is applied to a group test in the second stage, respectively. The server performs pooled tests and individual tests sequentially. The testing time of a sample and a batch follow general distributions, respectively. In this paper, we derive the steady-state probability generating function of the system size at an arbitrary time, applying a bulk queuing model. In addition, we present queuing performance metrics such as the offered load, output rate, allowable input rate, and mean waiting time. In numerical examples with various prevalence rates, we show that the second-stage group-testing system can be more efficient than a one-stage group-testing system or an individual-testing system in terms of the allowable input rates and the waiting time. The two-stage group-testing system considered in this paper is very simple, so it is expected to be applicable in the field of COVID-19.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to investigate the feasibility of anaerobic digestion of Chinese cabbage waste juice (CCWJ) and swine manure(SM). Methods: The anaerobic digestion test was conducted under batch and continuous conditions at mesophilic temperature ($36-38^{\circ}C$). The batch test was divided into Experiment I and II. In the Experiment I, biogas potential and production rate of CCWJ was evaluated. In Experiment II the effect of F/M ratio (2.0, 3.2, 4.9) at mixture ratio of 25:75(CCWJ: SM, % vol. basis) on biogas yield was studied. Results: CCWJ produced biogas and methane yield of 929 and 700 mL/g VS added respectively. The biogas yield from the mixture of CCWJ and SM was almost same at F/M ratio of 2.0 and 3.2 but dropped by 14% when F/M ratio increased from 3.2 to 4.9. In continuous test the mixture of CCWJ and SM (25:75, % vol. basis) produced biogas yield of 352 mL/g VS added which is around 11% higher compared to biogas yield from SM alone. Addition to biogas yield digester performance was also improved with co-digestion of CCWJ with SM. Conclusions: The results showed that the anaerobic digestion of CCWJ with SM could be promising for improving both the biogas yield and digester performance at mesophilic temperature.

본 연구는 E/K 정화기법이 적용된 PRB 공법에 있어서 음식물 쓰레기 재활용 과정에서 발생된 CFW(Carbonized Foods Waste)를 반응물질로 적용하고자 회분식 흡착실험(Batch Test)을 실시하였으며, 유기오염물질에 대한 흡착특성을 평가하였다. 실험에서 사용된 유기오염물질은 Phenanthrene과 Trichloroethylene(TCE)이며, 계면활성제는 음이온성 계면활성제인 SDS와 비이온성 계면활성제인 Brij$^{(R)}$30을 적용하였다. 실험 결과, Phenanthrene과 TCE의 흡착효율은 각각 99%와 26%로 나타났으며, Phenanthrene에 대한 CFW의 흡착효율이 4배 정도 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 이를 바탕으로 Langmuir와 Freundlich 흡착등온 모델에 적용한 결과, Phenanthrene은 Langmuir 모델에 일치하였고, TCE는 그 구분이 불분명하였다. 또한 계면활성제를 사용하여 회분식 흡착실험을 실시한 결과, Phenanthrene의 경우에는 계면활성제가 방해요소로 작용하여 흡착지체현상이 발생했으며, 계면활성제가 적용되지 않은 흡착효율에 비하여 6~8% 정도 감소하였다. 그러나 TCE는 계면활성제가 반응촉매제로 작용하여 최대 81%까지 흡착효율이 증가하였으며, 비이온성 계면활성제를 사용함으로서 보다 높은 흡착효율을 얻을 수 있었다. 따라서 계면활성제의 적용과 관계없이 Phenanthrene에 대한 흡착효율이 TCE보다 우수한 것으로 나타났으며, PRB 공법에 E/K 정화기법을 적용할 경우에는 비이온성 계면활성제를 사용할 경우 보다 높은 흡착효율이 나타날 것으로 판단된다.

The pretreatment of used newspaper for the enzymatic digestion preprocess was performed on a percolation reactor and a batch reactor. The test condition of percolation process was $170^{circ}C$, 60min, 1 mL/min, and 400psi, that of batch was $40^{circ}C$, 3hr. and latm Reaction solutions used in pretreatment process were aqueous ammonia, sulfuric acid, water, and hydrogen-peroxide as an oxidizing agent. As a result, the effect of pretreatment was similar to batch and percolation process, but the yield of enzymatic hydrolysis was higher in batch than percolation. This batch pretreatment enhanced enzymatic hydrolysis rate and increased glucose yield from about 15 to 20%. The inhibition factors influenced the rate of enzymatic hydrolysis was investigated, and the ink contented newspaper was the major factor.

The determination of a production sequence is an important problem in a batch process operation. In this paper a new algorithm for a near optimal production sequence of N product in an M unit serial multiproduct batch process is proposed. The basic principle is the same as that of Johnson's algorithm for two-unit UIS system. Test results on a number of selected examples exhibit the superiority over previously reported results. In addition, a tabulation technique is presented to calculate the makespan of a given sequence of production for all processing units under UIS mode.

COVID-19 has been spreading all around the world, and threatening global health. In this situation, identifying and isolating infected individuals rapidly has been one of the most important measures to contain the epidemic. However, the standard diagnosis procedure with RT-PCR (Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction) is costly and time-consuming. For this reason, pooled testing for COVID-19 has been proposed from the early stage of the COVID-19 pandemic to reduce the cost and time of identifying the COVID-19 infection. For pooled testing, how many samples are tested in group is the most significant factor to the performance of the test system. When the arrivals of test requirements and the test time are stochastic, batch-service queueing models have been utilized for the analysis of pooled-testing systems. However, most of them do not consider the false-negative test results of pooled testing in their performance analysis. For the COVID-19 RT-PCR test, there is a small but certain possibility of false-negative test results, and the group-test size affects not only the time and cost of pooled testing, but also the false-negative rate of pooled testing, which is a significant concern to public health authorities. In this study, we analyze the performance of COVID-19 pooled-testing systems with false-negative test results. To do this, we first formulate the COVID-19 pooled-testing systems with false negatives as a batch-service queuing model, and then obtain the performance measures such as the expected number of test requirements in the system, the expected number of RP-PCR tests for a test sample, the false-negative group-test rate, and the total cost per unit time, using the queueing analysis. We also present a numerical example to demonstrate the applicability of our analysis, and draw a couple of implications for COVID-19 pooled testing.
