Optimum conditions for production of casein phosphopeptides (CPP) from sodium casenate by immobilized cell culture of Streptococcus faecalis var. liquefaciens were investigated. Immobilized cells were made by mixing 60% sodium alginate solution with an equal volume of culture broth at the end of exponential phase and subsequently dropping the mixture into $CaCl_{2}$ solution. Optimum conditions for CPP production by the immobilized cells were the same as those ($50^{\circ}C$, pH 7.0, and 10% substrate concentration) by the crude enzyme solution from the supernatant of culture broth. Optimum loading volume of the immobilized cells into a batch reactor was 30% (w/v). Using a continuous reactor loaded by the immobilized cells under the identified optimal conditions, we were able to produce CPP continuously up to 30 days with a maximum CPP conversion efficiency of 20%.

Microbial oxidoreductive systems have been widely used in asymmetric syntheses of optically active alcohols. However, when reused in multi-batch reaction, the catalytic efficiency and sustainability of non-growing cells usually decreased because of continuous consumption of required cofactors during the reaction process. A novel method for NADPH regeneration in cells was proposed by using pentose metabolism in microorganisms. Addition of D-xylose, L-arabinose, or D-ribose to the reaction significantly improved the conversion efficiency of deracemization of racemic 1-phenyl-1,2-ethanediol to (S)-isomer by Candida parapsilosis cells already used once, which afforded the product with high optical purity over 97%e.e. in high yield over 85% under an increased substrate concentration of 15 g/l. Compared with reactions without xylose, xylose added to multi-batch reactions had no influence on the activity of the enzyme catalyzing the key step in deracemization, but performed a promoting effect on the recovery of the metabolic activity of the non-growing cells with its consumption in each batch. The detection of activities of xylose reductase and xylitol dehydrogenase from cell-free extract of C. parapsilosis made xylose metabolism feasible in cells, and the depression of the pentose phosphate pathway inhibitor to this reaction further indicated that xylose facilitated the NADPH-required deracemization through the pentose phosphate pathway in C. parapsilosis. moreover, by investigating the cofactor pool, the xylose addition in reaction batches giving more NADPH, compared with those without xylose, suggested that the higher catalytic efficiency and sustainability of C. parapsilosis non-growing cells had resulted from xylose metabolism recycling NADPH for the deracemization.

Tungsten oxide films were prepared by an electrochemical deposition method for use as the anode in rechargeable lithium batteries. Continuous potentiostatic deposition of the film led to numerous cracks of the deposits while pulsed deposition significantly suppressed crack generation and film delamination. In particular, a crack-free dense tungsten oxide film with a thickness of ca. 210 nm was successfully created by pulsed deposition. The thickness of tungsten oxide was linearly proportional to deposition time. Compositional and structural analyses revealed that the as-prepared deposit was amorphous tungsten oxide and the heat treatment transformed it into crystalline triclinic tungsten oxide. Both the as-prepared and heat-treated samples reacted reversibly with lithium as the anode for rechargeable lithium batteries. Typical peaks for the conversion processes of tungsten oxides were observed in cyclic voltammograms, and the reversibility of the heat-treated sample exceeded that of the as-prepared one. Consistently, the cycling stability of the heat-treated sample proved to be much better than that of the as-prepared one in a galvanostatic charge/discharge experiment. These results demonstrate the feasibility of using electrolytic tungsten oxide films as the anode in rechargeable lithium batteries. However, further works are still needed to make a dense film with higher thickness and improved cycling stability for its practical use.

$Mo-V-O/SnO_2$(VM/Sn) and $SnO_2/Mo-V-O$(Sn/VM) catalysts have been prepared and characterized by XRD, BET, SEM and TPD of ammonia. The catalytic reaction of acrolein oxidation with these catalysts, in a continuous-flow fixed-bed reactor, showed that they had higher conversion of acrolein and higher yield of acrylic acid than those of Mo-V-O itself. The origin of the observed synergy studied by TPD, TPR and TPO is explained by the cooperation of $SnO_2$ and Mo-V-O at their interfaces where electrons flow from Mo-V-O phase to $SnO_2$ and $SnO_2$ produces spill-over oxygens, which, by being transported onto the surface of Mo-V-O, reoxidize the partially reduced active sites.

This study describes the sorbitol production with permeabilized cells of Zymomonas mobilis immobilized in Ca-alginate. Toluene treated cells lose activity of glucose-fructose oxidoreductase due to the leaking of enzyme from the cells. To prevent this leakage, the permeabilized cells were treated with 0.25% glutaraldehyde by stirring for 1 h at room temperature. A continuous process with glutaraldehyde treated cells was developed and no significant reduction in the degree of conversion occurred during 210 h operation. The productivities were estimated to be about $7.2{\sim}7.5\;g/l-h$ for sorbitol at dilution rate $0.18\;h^{-1}$.

There are growing interests for knowledge-based information to build up competitiveness both in public and in private. Construction industry compared to other industries, shows strong knowledge usages in products and process. R&D investment over the construction industry has been decreased since economic crisis (IMF), so technology status of domestic construction industry has gap of 4.6 years with developed countries. Information infra also lowers in use of information and investment than other industries. In case of knowledge management, usage of information technology and vision establishment show high status but knowledge sharing and evaluation stay in low level. For the administration of knowledge-based information, there are needs of continuous R&D investments, educations for inspiring employees to knowledge share, systems for knowledge estimation and evaluation, and organizational culture.

Enzymatic hydrolysis of agar was carried out continuously to produce agarooligosaccharides by immobilized agarase in Packed-Bed Reactor. The reactor was constructed using a acryl tube with an internal diameter of 10 mm and a useful height of 140 mm. The Packed-Bed Reactor was 11 mL reactor volume as its length : diameter ratio was 14 : 1. The operation condition of reaction was performed with an 1 g/L agar concentration at 40$^{\circ}C$, 10 mM MOPS buffer(pH 7.0) and with the flow rate 3 mL∼48 mL/h at a dilution rate of 1.09∼5.45 h$\^$-1/. The hydrolysis products was identified DP6, DP4 and DP2 by HPLC. The conversion rate of agar was about 80% and amount of total agarooligosaccharide was 0.88 mg/mL at Packed-Bed Reactor.

To develop a pressurized chemical looping combustor, conceptual design of 0.5 MWth chemical looping combustor was performed by means of mass and energy balance calculations. Based on the conceptual design, reactivity of oxygen carrier and solid circulation rate were selected as key parameters. Sensitivity analysis of those key parameters were conducted with the change of oxygen carrier utilization percent from 5 to 50% and proper solid circulation rate and solid conversion rate to meet 98% of $CO_2$ selectivity were confirmed. Feasibility of 0.5 MWth pressurized chemical looping combustor was confirmed by experimental studies to find real solid circulation rate and $CO_2$ selectivity within the operating conditions based on the conceptual design. We could varied very wide range of solid circulation rate in two interconnected fluidized bed system. We also got enough $CO_2$ selectivity more than 98% in semi-continuous chemical looping combustor using OCN717 oxygen carrier. Consequently, feasibility of 0.5 MWth pressurized chemical looping combustor was confirmed.

We achieved 95% visibility in the Hong-Ou-Mandel interference experiment while we achieved only 56% visibility in a previous report. We used a 120 mW 405 nm single-mode continuous wave laser, a 5-mm-thick type-1 ${\beta}$-barium borate single crystal, standard Hong-Ou-Mandel interferometer optics, two avalanche photodiode single-photon counters, and a homemade coincidence counting unit. The photon collection unit was the key difference between the present study and the previous study. In the present experiment, we used single-mode optical fibers for photon collection, which suppressed accidental coincidence between-different mode photons by acting as a spatial filter because of its core size being much smaller than a multi-mode fiber.
