Effects of temperature, pressure, and gas residence time on methane combustion characteristics of mass produced oxygen carrier particle (OCN706-1100) were investigated in a pressurized fluidized bed reactor using methane and air as reactants for reduction and oxidation, respectively. The oxygen carrier showed high fuel conversion, high $CO_2$ selectivity, and low CO concentration at reduction condition and very low NO emission at oxidation condition. Moreover OCN706-1100 particle showed good regeneration ability during successive reduction-oxidation cyclic tests up to the 10th cycle. Fuel conversion and $CO_2$ selectivity decreased and CO emission increased as temperature increased. These results can be explained by trend of calculated equilibrium CO concentration. However, $CO_2$ selectivity increased as pressure increased and fuel conversion increased as gas residence time increased.

Streptomyces sp. No.8, which produced glucose isomerase was isolated from soil samples. The isolated strain, No.8, was identified as belonging to the Genus Streptomyces. A mutant strain, SM 805, showed the greatest ability to produce glucose isomerase. It was developed from the strain, No.8, by mutagenesis induced by NTG and UV treatment. The mutant strain, SM 805, produced about 7 times more glucose isomerase than the parental strain, No.8. This enzyme catalyzed the isomerization of D-xylose, D-glucose and D-ribose. It was inactive in the absence of metal ions, but was activated by the addition of $Mg^{2+}$ or $Co^{2+}$. The optimum temperature and pH for enzyme activity were $80^\circ{C}$ and pH 8.5, respectively. The enzyme was stable in a pH range of 6.0 to 10.0, and it was highly thermostable. There was no activity loss below $80^\circ{C}$, and even above $90^\circ{C}$ about 45% of its activity was retained. The reaction equilibrium was reached when about 53% fructose was present in the reaction mixture. Whole cells containing glucose isomerase from Streptomyces sp. SM 805 were immobilized by glutaraldehyde treatment. The resultant immobilized enzyme pellets showed a relatively long stability during the isomerizing reaction. The half-life of the immobilized enzyme during the operating was 45 days in the presence of 10mM $Mg^{2+}$.

This paper focuses on the design, fabrication, testing and analysis of a novel load-bearing element with energy dissipation capability. A single element comprises two von-Mises trusses (VMTs), which are sandwiched between two plates and connected to dashpots that stroke as the VMTs cycle between stable equilibrium states. The elements can be assembled in-plane to form a large plate-like structure or stacked with different properties in each layer for improved load-adaptability. Also introduced in the elements are pre-loaded springs (PLSs) that provide high initial stiffness and allow the element to carry a static load even when the VMTs cannot under harmonic disturbance input. Simulations of the system behavior using the Simscape environment show good overall correlation with test data. Good energy dissipation capability is observed over a frequency range from 0.1 Hz to 2 Hz. The test and simulation results show that a two layer prototype, having one soft VMT layer and one stiff VMT layer, can provide good energy dissipation over a decade of variation in harmonic load amplitude, while retaining the ability to carry static load due to the PLSs. The paper discusses how system design parameter changes affect the static load capability and the hysteresis behavior.

Many researches about next generation vehicles are trending toward HEV which has better fuel economy than an internal-combustion engine. But existing HEV has some defects at specific running states(eg. highway running It is possible that dual-mode hybrid system overcomes that defects. Mode change parameter, ${\gamma}$ helps to analyse the mode changing of dual mode hybrid and is applied at a numerical analysis on testing the performance. There is an additional constraint when vehicles drive on engine mode. No power assistance of battery applies on engine mode. Because vehicles must be sustained by only engine power while vehicle drives on constant speed mode. At the conclusion of this paper, graphs show the ability of motors that satisfy the equilibrium of the lever system. Designers can roughly determine capacities of the motors, parameters of the lever system by this analysing method.

The paper aims to investigate the asymmetric long-run and short-run relationships between inflation and remittance outflows in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (hereafter KSA) over the period 1971-2019 by using the Nonlinear Autoregressive Distributed Lag (NARDL) model. The statistical tests have supported the validity and stability of the model. The Wald F-test statistics confirm the existence of a long-run equilibrium relationship among the model variables; remittance outflows, positive (negative) shocks in inflation rates, investment, real GDP, and trade openness. Moreover, the empirical results confirm the existence of an asymmetric effect of the inflation rate on remittance outflows. The response of foreign workers to an increase in inflation rates differs from their response to a decrease in inflation rates. However, this asymmetric relationship between the increases/decreases in inflation and remittance outflows is significantly weak. The weakness of this relationship is due to the high marginal remittance propensity of migrant workers, which is explained by the low consumption propensity of foreign workers and their ability to adjust to the high cost of living due to inflation and the imposition of accompanying fees. Finally, the change in the inflation rate is not among the main factors influencing foreign remittance decisions in Saudi Arabia.

The ability of Zizyphus lotus stem powder (ZLSP) to remove Pb (II) and Cd (II) ions from an aqueous solution was evaluated. The present phenomenon of biosorption was revealed to depend on pH, biosorbent dosage, temperature, initial ionic concentration, time of contact and biosorbent's particle size. The sorption process was exothermic (∆H°<0), and showing a strong Pb(II)/Cd(II)-ZLSP affinity (∆S°>0). Gibbs free energy data (∆G°<0, and decreases as temperature increase) reveals that the process studied is characterized by its feasibility and spontaneous nature. The best fits of the equilibrium data were obtained by the Temkin model and the Langmuir model. The maximum Pb(II)/Cd(II)-ZLSP biosorption capacities were 33.02 mg/g for Pb (II) and 20.73 mg/g for Cd (II). The pseudo-second order model was the most appropriate for fitting the kinetic data. The characterization of the biochemical groups essentially involved in the sorption phenomenon was made possible by FTIR spectral analysis. The capacity of ZLSP as an effective and ecofriendly biosorbent is confirmed through this study.

Objectives : JiaoTeng-Yuan(교등원) is said to be a prescription for preservation of health in $\ulcorner$HuaTuo.ZhongZangJing (화타.중장경)$\lrcorner$. It is known to have the effect of Bu-Shen (보신: strengthening kidney) and Yi-Shou (익수: prolonging the span of one's life). This study investigates whether JTY is effective on inhibition of oxidation stress. Methods : Sprague-Dawley rats (12-week-old, weight $300{\pm}20g$) were divided into 3 groups. The normal group (n=8) was injected with PBS (1ml/body, s.c) subcutaneously behind the neck. The control group (n=8) was injected with D-galactose (50mg/kg, 1ml PBS/body, s.c) to induce pathological animals. The JTY group was injected with the same treatment as the control group, and fed containing JTY (10%). All groups were treated 1 time per day for 6 weeks. After the rats were sacrificed anti-oxidant enzyme (SOD, CAT, G-px) activity, GSH quantity of RBC and tissue (heart, liver and kidney), and plasma Vit-C quantity were examined. Also, the MDA levels of liver and kidney, lipofuscin of heart and endurance of erythrocyte membrane were measured. Results : In the JTY group, RBC's SOD activity decline was halted by 21 % of the normal level, compared to the control group, G-px activity (unit/g of Hb) increased significantly, compared to the normal group, and the level of Vit-C in plasma increased by 16%. Heart's SOD activity was kept at the same level as that of the normal group; and CAT activity decline was halted by 26%. Kidney's CAT and G-px activities were kept at the same level as that shown in the normal group, implying the existence of a halting effect. Liver also showed a slight halting effect against the decline of anti-oxidant ability, but the effect was not significant (${\alpha}=0.05$). A comparison between the levels of peroxide in SD rats showed that the level of TBARS in plasma increased significantly in the control group and that it was normal in the JTY group. The livers in the JTY group, compared to those in the control group, showed 36% halting effect of the normal level while their kidney's indicated the level significantly lower than the normal level. Heart's lipofuscin increased significantly in the control group, but was alike in both the JTY and the normal groups. Endurance of erythrocyte membrane (%) decreased significantly in the control group while it was kept at the similar level in both the JTY and the normal groups, indicating the halting effect. Conclusions : This study suggests that JTY is effective to defend oxidation stress caused by D-galactose in the animals. It showed that the anti-oxidant ability was maintained and strengthened. On the other hand, it reduced the level of peroxide in animals. In sum, JTY appeared to have the equilibrium normal physiological function in SD rat.

국내산(國內産) 천연(天然) Zeolite를 이용(利用)하여 저렴(低廉)한 중금속흡착제(重金屬吸着劑)의 개발(開發)을 위해 이온 교환용량(交換容量)이 큰 Zeolite를 합성(合成)하고 이것의 중금속(重金屬) 흡착능력(吸着能力)을 조사(調査)하였다. 천연(天然) Zeolite의 주(主) 구성(構成) 점토광물(粘土鑛物)은 Clinoptilolite와 Mordenite였으나 합성(合成) Zeolite는 Phillipsite였다. 시료(試料)에 의(依)한 Cu와 Zn의 흡착반응(吸着反應)은 1시간(時間) 이후(以後)에 흡착평형(吸着平衡)에 도달(到達)하였다. 흡착량(吸着量)은 시료량(試料量) 및 첨가중금속(添加重金屬) 이온들의 농도(濃度)가 증가(增加)할수록 증가(增加)하는 경향(傾向)이었으며 합성(合成) Zeolite가 천연(天然) Zeolite에 비(比)해 고농도(高濃度)에서 흡착율(吸着率)이 높았다. 중김속(重金屬) 흡착량(吸着量)은 pH가 증가(增加)할수록 증가(增加)하는 경향(傾向)이었으나 합성(合成) Zeolite가 천연(天然) Zeolite에 비(比)해 pH 생존성(生存性)이 낮았다. 중금속(重金屬) 흡착량(吸着量)은 천연(天然) Zeolite에 비(比)하여 합성(合成) Zeolite가 훨씬 높았다. 염용액(鹽溶液)의 농도(濃度)가 높을수록 많은 양(量)의 중금속(重金屬) 이온이 합성(合成) Zeolite에서 탈착(脫着)되었으며 그 정도(程度)는 NaCl<$CaCl_2$<$AlCl_3$의 순(順)이었다. 따라서 합성(合成) Zeolite보다 중금속(重金屬) 제거효과(除去效果)가 우수(優秀)한 것으로 판단(判斷)된다.

본 논문은 고정관념(stereotypes)과 노동시장 신호(signaling)에 관한 이론적 틀에 기반하여 개인의 정체성(identity) 선택에 관한 이론모형을 제시하고 있다. 사회집단 간의 평판의 차이 및 이로 인한 집단 간 불평등은 사회집단에 대한 시장의 고정관념 및 이에 상응하는 집단 구성원의 인적자본 투자수준에 의해 형성된다(Arrow[1973]; Coate and Loury[1993]). 한편, 이제까지의 학계의 논의는 개인들의 사회집단 선택 및 이에 따른 사회집단 구성의 내생적 변화 가능성을 배제한 채 발전하여 왔다. 사회집단 간 평판의 차이가 존재하고 동시에 개인들의 자발적 집단 선택이 가능한 상황이라면, 평판이 좋은 사회집단은 집단의 구성원들이 보다 적극적으로 인적자본에 투자하는 '투자 확대'의 효과뿐만 아니라, 평판이 상대적으로 떨어지는 사회집단에 비해 보다 우수한 인재들을 집단의 새로운 구성원으로 맞아들이는 '집단 구성'의 효과를 동시에 누리게 된다. 이러한 집단 구성의 내생성은 본질적으로 사회집단 간의 평판의 차이를 보다 확대시키는 결과를 낳게 되며, 이렇게 확대된 평판의 격차가 우수한 인재의 집중을 보다 강화시킴으로써 집단 간 경제적 불평등이 시간이 지남에 따라 악화되는 것이다. 본 논문은 노동시장 신호이론을 활용하여 사회집단 선택의 내생성하에서의 집단 간 불평등의 균형점을 찾고 이들의 안정성에 관해 논하고 있으며, 집단 구성의 내생성이 주어질 경우 그렇지 않은 경우에 비해 사회집단 간의 경제사회적 불평등이 보다 심화될 수 있음을 이론적으로 증명하고 있다.

탄화온도별로 제조한 신갈나무(Quercus mongolica Fischer)목탄과 낙엽송(Larix leptoepis)수피탄에 의한 유해가스 흡착성능 평가를 하여 본 결과, 탄화온도가 증가하면 비표면적과 탄소함량이 증가하는 경향이 있으나, $600^{\circ}C$이상의 온도에서는 상승폭이 둔화하였다. 또한 신갈나무탄과 낙엽송수피탄에 의한 유해가스 제거율 차이는 뚜렷하지는 않았으나, 탄화온도는 가스흡착성능에 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, $300^{\circ}C$에서 탄화한 저온 목질탄화물은 목탄 또는 수피탄의 종류에 관계없이 50% 이하의 매우 낮은 악취가스 및 VOC 물질 제거율을 나타낸 반면, $600^{\circ}C$이상의 고온 탄화물은 목질의 종류에 관계없이 악취물질인 트리메틸아민, 메틸메르캅탄, 황화수소의 제거율과 VOC물질인 벤젠, 톨루엔, 자일렌 제거율이 거의 100%를 나타낼 정도로 높았으며, 흡착 10분 이내에 흡착평형에 이를 정도로 빠른 흡착성을 나타내었다. 한편 아세틸렌이나 $SO_2$, $NO_2$ 가스 제거율은 고온탄화물이라도 흡착 4시간 후인 흡착평형이 이루어지더라도 40% 이하로 매우 낮아 가스 종류에 따라서 흡착거동에 차이가 있었다. 이와 같이 탄화온도와 가스 종류에 따라 흡착성능이 달라지는 것은 비표면적과 같은 물리적인 요인뿐만 아니라 목탄의 관능기 종류 및 양에 의한 화학적 변화가 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단되며, 화학적 요인에 대한 구명이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
