This study systematically investigated a method for extraction of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius Linnaeus) colorants by ultrasonic treatment. Compared to pigments productivity and cell wall structures of safflower after general and ultrasonic method, the ultrasonic method showed high extraction efficiency of safflower pigments due to destruction of safflower cell wall caused by high vibration energies. Microscopic analysis confirmed the hypothesis that the ultrasonic treatment of safflower caused its cell wall structure loosened and made efficient extraction of safflower pigments. And also, LC-MS/MS analysis revealed that productivities of the yellow and red safflower pigments by ultrasonic method were 21.9% and 14.6% higher, respectively, than those of pigments extracted by general method. The ultrasonic extracted yellow and red colorants could be used to dye not only natural fibers like cotton, silk and wool, but also synthetic fiber like nylon, and generally gave a better color tone than the general extracted colorants from safflower due to the affinities of red and yellow colorant on different fibers. As the yellow and red colorant were extracted by ultrasonic treatment in water, the K/S value on of 550/440nm of cotton and rayon was increased but in the case of silk and wool the change of this value was almost not detected. Finally, this technique might provide a solution to establish reproducibility and standardization for the extraction and dyeing methods on fabrics.

The ultraviolet blocking agents used to skincare are largely classified ultraviolet scattering agent and ultraviolet absorbent agents. There are UVC, UVB, and UBA in ultraviolet ray(UV) showing shorter wavelength than visible light. Both visible light and UVA give rise to 1st dark-skinned phenomena. On exposure of the skin to UV, phenomena of skin variation are termed sunburn or suntan. There are chronic and acute adverse reactions in skin response to UV. The latter is caused by UVB, which has mainly effects on the skin. But lately due to destruction of ozone layer, UVA has more serious irritation on the skin than UVB. In this paper spectrometric properties of UV absorbent agents such as PABA, octyl-PABA, Urocanic acid, and 2-hydroxy-4-methoxy benzophenone in vitro have been investigate. As results, it was found that the three fomer were more suitable than the last. UV scattering measurements on the sample used inorganic pigments showed that pigments containing titanium dioxide had a better scattering effects than the inorganic pigments such as $Fe_2O_3$, $Al_2O_3$, etc.

It is important to study on the combustion instability to develop liquid rocket engines for preventing lower combustion efficiency and destruction of combustion chamber. There are many researches on simplex injector with liquid pulsation to solve this problem. In real rocket engine system, however, they use coaxial injectors. Therefore, research on coaxial injector with liquid pulsation is essential. In this study, we investigate dynamic characteristics of gas centered swirl coaxial injector varying tangential inlet diameter. A mechanical pulsator was used to generate an excitation in the liquid flow, and the response characteristics of the injector were confirmed. As tangential inlet diameter increased, mass flow rates increased and spray angle decreased. As tangential inlet diamter decreased, gain decreased because the pressure fluctuation in the injector manifold rarely passed through the inlet. Additionally, it was confirmed that a sufficiently small tangential inlet served as a damper.

It has been reported that destruction test by core collection is the most reliable of the structural concrete strength in present building construction field. But it causes low efficiency by damage and cutting in structure due to the core collection. It also has some problems in repairing. Additionally in case of strength test with management specimen, different environment compared to the structure environment cause problems about estimation precise structure strength. Therefore, it is required to develop structure direct strength test that has test values and credibility above the ones obtained by core specimen collection strength test and seasonal specimen test to suggest a reasonable and practical management method of structural concrete.

The biodegradability and decomposition efficiencies increase with the pre-treatment of sludge in a digestion process. In this study, the feasibility of ultrasound coupled with potassium permanganate oxidation as a disintegration method and digestibility of aerobic reactor fed with disintegrated sludge with ultrasound coupled potassium permanganate were investigated. The first stage of the study focused on determining the optimum condition for ultrasonic pre-treatment for achieving better destruction efficiency of sludge. The second part of the study, the aerobic digestibility of sludge disintegrated with ultrasound and potassium permanganate oxidation alone and combined were examined comparatively. The results showed that when 20 min of ultrasonic pre-treatment applied, the specific energy output was 49384 kJ/kgTS with disintegration degree of 58.84%. During the operation of aerobic digester, VS/TS ratios of digesters fed with disintegrated sludge decreased indicating that disintegration methods could obviously enhance aerobic digestion performance. The highest reduction in volatile solids was 75% in the digester fed with ultrasound+potassium permanganate disintegrated sludge at the end of the operation compared to digester fed with raw sludge. Total Nitrogen (TN) and Total Phosphorus (TP) levels in sludge supernatant increased with this combined method significantly. Besides, it promoted the production of ${\bullet}OH$, thus enhancing the release of Carbon (C), Nitrogen (N) and Phosphorus (P) from the sludge. Disintegration with all methods used in this study could not improve Capillary Suction Time (CST) reduction in disintegrated digesters during the operation. The results demonstrated that the combined ultrasound treatment and potassium permanganate oxidation method improves the biodegradability compared to control reactor or their single application.

In this paper, we propose a spectral efficient orthogonal frequency division multiple access(OFDMA) transmission system using multiple relays for a shadow area. The performance of the proposed OFDMA system in a shadow area can be improved by applying space-frequency(SF) block code over relaying multi-path channels. A simple channel cyclicity restoration method is also added in the proposed OFDMA system without cyclic prefix(CP) to recover the destruction of channel cyclicity due to the lack of CP. Simulation results show that the proposed OFDMA system without CP is almost same as that of the conventional OFDMA system with sufficient CP, which increases the spectral efficiency of the system.

In this study, we carried out an investigation of the etch characteristics of silicon (Si) film, and the selectivity of Si to $SiO_2$ in $SF_6/O_2$ plasma. The etch rate of the Si film was decreased on adding $O_2$ gas, and the selectivity of Si to $SiO_2$ was increased, on adding $O_2$ gas to the $SF_6$ plasma. The optical condition of the Si film with this work was 1,350 nm/min, at a gas mixing ratio of $SF_6/O_2$ (=130:30 sccm). At the same time, the etch rate was measured as functions of the various etching parameters. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis showed the efficient destruction of oxide bonds by ion bombardment, as well as the accumulation of high volatile reaction products on the etched surface. Field emission auger electron spectroscopy analysis was used to examine the efficiency of the ion-stimulated desorption of the reaction products.

I. Objectives Endodontic success depends on thoroughly cleaned and completely obturated root canal system. Effective cleaning and obturation will be achieved by well shaped canal. Numerous methodologies evaluating the efficacy and safety of canal preparation has been developed and the use of micro-computed tomography(MCT) in endodontic research is one of the latest innovations. This scientific tools could overcome the inherent limitations of other methodologies, and possesses the ability to visualize morphological characteristics in a detailed and accurate manner without destruction of the tooth and offers reproducible data in all three dimensions. The purpose of this study was to determine the optimal master apical file size with less transportation and more efficiency in removing the infected dentin. For this purpose we evaluated the transportation of canal center and change of untouched area after preparation sequentially from ＃25 file through ＃40 file with 3 different instruments：Stainless steel(SS) K-type hand instruments(MANI, Japan), ProFile.04 instruments (Dentply Tulsa Dental, USA) and Lightspeed instruments(Lightspeed Technology, San Antonio, USA) using micro-computed tomography.(omitted)

A ceramic powder of destructive adsorbent was synthesized by impregnating copper and manganese on the surface of silica aerosil@. In-site FTIR measurements on pulses of malodorant tert-butylmercaptan injected over the powder showed that rert-butylmercaptan dimerized into di-tert-hutyldisulfide on the surface of the adsorbent in an ambient condition. GC/MS measurement on the gas over the adsorbent showed no tert-butylmercaptan remaining, and showed only the dimerization product of di-tert-butyldisulfide. Most of the dimerization product, di-tert-butyldisulfide,remained on the surface of the adsorbent as physisorbed condense, and apparently Iowered the destruction efficiency by blocking the surface from the access by tert-butylmercaptan. Upon being heated above $100^{\circ}C$ it was observed that the physisorbed di-tert-butyldisulfide dissociated back into tert-butylmercaptan. tert-butylmercaptan physisorbed on the activated carbon, thereby no dimerization was occurring on the surface of the activated carbon. In an argn environment, the dimerization reaction was practically not occurring even on the surface of the adsorbent, indicating the free oxygen in air was also participating in the dimerization reaction. Water was identified as a by-product of the dimerization reaction. Possible reactions on the surface of the adsorbent were proposed.

Since the sensor nodes are randomly arranged in the region of interest, it may happen that the sensor network area is separated or there is no sensor node in some area. In addition, after the sensor nodes are deployed in the sensor network, a coverage hole may occur due to the exhaustion of energy or physical destruction of the sensor nodes. The coverage hole can greatly affect the overall performance of the sensor network, such as reducing the data reliability of the sensor network, changing the network topology, disconnecting the data link, and worsening the transmission load. Therefore, sensor network coverage hole recovery has been studied. Existing coverage hole recovery studies present very complex geometric methods and procedures in the two-step process of finding a coverage hole and recovering a coverage hole. This study proposes a method for discovering and recovering a coverage hole in a sensor network, discovering that the sensor node is a boundary node by itself, and determining the location of a mobile node to be added. The proposed method is expected to have better efficiency in terms of complexity and message transmission compared to previous methods.
