  • To model the behavior of expanded beds with aqueous feed streams containing different amounts of glycerol, we previously developed a modified Stokes expression that correlates the terminal settling velocity of a particle of a solution with the properties of the particle (particle diameter and density) and the solution (density and viscosity). Two empirical parameters, the effective diameter of the poly-disperse resins for protein adsorption and an exponent of non-unity for $(\rho_{P}-\rho)/\mu$ term, are introduced in the modified Stokes expression. We applied the same type of the modified Stokes expression in combination with the Richardson-Zaki correlation to the published results [1], and found that the expansions of the beds with feed streams containing different amounts of E. coli homogenates can also be successfully described.

  • The stability analysis of rock slope can be predicted using a suitable field data but it cannot be predicted unless suitable field data was taken. In this study, artificial neural networks theory is applied to predict plane failure that has a few data. It is well known that human brain has the advantage of handling disperse and parallel distributed data efficiently. On the basis of this fact, artificial neural networks theory was developed and has been applied to various fields of science successfully In this study, error back-propagation algorithm that is one of the teaching techniques of artificial neural networks is applied to predict plane failure. In order to verify the applicability of this model, a total of 30 field data results are used. These data are used for training the artificial neural network model and compared between the predicted and the measured. The simulation results show the potentiality of utilizing the neural networks for effective safety factor prediction of plane failure. In conclusion, the well-trained artificial neural network model could be applied to predict the plane failure stability of rock slope.

  • The thrombosis is the category of blood stasis. Blood stasis is a pathologicial state resulting from the reverse or impeded flow of blood in the body or the stagnation of blood flow in local parts as well as abnormal blood outside of the vessles which remains in the body and fails to disperse. Hwao-tang has been reported to have a hypolipidemic effect in patients with hypercholesterolemia, and in highcholesterol-induced experimental models. The present paper reports the effects of HOT on atherosclerosis using a spontaneous experimental model, Kurosawa and Kusanagi-hypercholesterolemic (KHC) rabbits. We have also investigated the pharmacological effect of extracts obtained from HOT on collagen-and ADP-induced blood platelet aggregation, thrombin-induced conversion of fibrinogen and fibrinolysis in in vitro experiments. In conclusion, the protection of extracts of Korean herbs' HOT on the ischemic infarction induced artificially might be involved to their inhibition of thrombotic action.

  • Dispersion of pollutant in a mountainous area is simulated in a wind tunnel. In the northwest side of the terrain model, the sea level is assumed. Wind from the sea initially confronts hills along the shoreline, a line of large buildings next, and finally a valley between high mountains in the south and in the east. In the northwest wind conditions, severe flow separation occurs in the lee side of hills, even beyond the building area. Pollutant from the buildings is trapped in this region and its concentration is the highest. In the west wind conditions, pollutant from the buildings flows along the hills aslant the main wind direction in this case. Since large valley is located in the downstream, pollutant tends to disperse along the valley.

  • Aminated polyacrylonitrile as the new organic disperse phases of the anhydrous ER fluid has been synthesized and ER effect of the suspension composed of aminated polyacrylonitrile in silicone oil investigated. The suspension showed a typical ER response (Bingham flow behavior) upon application of an electric field. The shear stress for the suspension exhibited the dependence with a factor equals to 1.6 power on theelectric field. The current density and the conductivity of the of aminated polyacrylonitrile suspension increase with the electric field intensity and moreover the conductivity of the suspension is about 8 order of magnitude higher than that of the silicone oil. On the basis of the the results, aminated polyacrylonitrile suspension showed the ER flow behavior upon application of the electric field due to the polarizability of the branched amine polar group of the aminated polyacrylonitrile particles.

  • In this study, a cancer treatment by accumulating and aggregating ferromagnetic particles in newborn blood vessels was examined. It is necessary for this treatment to control dispersion-aggregation property of ferromagnetic particles. Ferromagnetic particles required in this method disperse at low magnetic field, aggregate at high magnetic field and maintain the aggregation even after removal of the magnetic field. In order to control the dispersion-aggregation property, the surface of magnetite particles was modified with higher fatty acids having different lengths. As a result, we succeeded to prepare propionic acid-modified magnetite particles that form irreversible aggregation by magnetic field. The model experiments simulating newborn blood vessels showed that these particles can block the flow by the magnetic field, and the blockage was maintained after removal of the magnetic field.

  • The optoelectronic display units such as TFT-LCD or OLED require many thin optical plastic films and their mass manufacturing processes employ CO2 laser cutting of those thin films in a large quantity. However, laser film cutting could generate fume particles through melt shearing, vaporization, and chemical degradation and those particles could be of great concern for film surface contamination. In order to appreciate the fume particle dispersion behaviors in laser film cutting, this study relies on random particle simulations by probabilistic distributions of particle size, ejection velocity and angles coupled with Basset-Boussinesq-Oseen model of particle trajectory in low Reynolds number flows. Here, up to one million particles of random sampling have been tested to effectively show fume particles dispersed on the film surface. The computational results could show that particular range of fume particle size could easily disperse into the pixel region of processed optical films.

  • The Parameter Identification of 2-demensional estuarine model was carried out using new output ADI-FDM numerical semi-implicit schem transformed in boundary fitted(BF) - coordinate. The hydrodynamic equations which is coupled with the transport equations were used as basic equations in the model. Thompson's equations were used to transform governing equations into rectangular plane equations and his elliptic grid generation scheme was used to generate curvilinear grid system. in BF - coordinates. The parameters to be identified are friction coefficient and disperse coefficient embedded in the governing equations. The numerical output scheme is tidally averaged salinity model in BF - coordinates. The algorithm to optimize norm of error between observations and calculations is the influence coefficinet algorithm associated with least square criterion. The lumped model is conssidered in identification. This paper was concetrated on checking whether the new output scheme might be useful to identify parameters in estuarine salinity model or not. The proposed method was tested through experimental application with hypothetical simple model. The result of the test shows that the proposed method can be used for parameter identification in estuarine model.
