When sewage sludge is treated by cornposting, higher moisture content and lower C/N ratio on sewage sludge is problems. This paper project to alesolve two problems. The almost trends in run 3 of MC 70% are similar to these in run 1 and 4 of MC 65%. A retention time of the highest temperature (>50$\circ$C) and increase rate of temperature in run 3 are an affinity to these in run 4. Particularly, decrease rate of temperature in run 3 is slower than others and this data shows the more activity of thermal microbial in run 3 than that in others. C/N ratio trends in run 3 shows slow reaction in initial stage but, after 9 days, is similar to that in run 1 and 4. Carbon trends in each run are a similarity to C/N ratio trends. Temperature, MC, carbon and C/N ratio trends in run 5, whose C/N ratio is 15, show less microbial activity than that in run 6, whose C/N ratio is 20. But temperature increase of the beginning stage and pH of the final stage in run 5 are greater than that in run 6. Final MC and carbon content in run 5 and 6 have a similar values. That is, final MC in run 5 and 6 is 49.39% and 48.97% and final carbon content in each run is 25.15% and 22.20%. Expecially, a temperature increase and C/N ratio decrease rate of the beginning stage in run 5 are greater than these in run 6. This shows the shorter lag time in run 5 than lag time in run 6.

Lanthanum oxyfluoride can be synthesized by mechanochemical (MC) reaction between lanthanum oxide ($La_2O_3$) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE, ($({CF_2CF_2}_n)$) in air using a planetary mill. MC reaction between the two materials induced from intensive grinding operation. The MC reaction is almost finished by 240min, and the products ground for 240min or more are composed of LaOF, amorphous $La(CO_3)F$ and amorphous carbon (C). Heating this MC reaction products at $600^{\circ}C$ enables us to eliminate amorphous C and decompose $La(CO_3)F$ into LaOF, so that pure LaOF material can be obtained as the final product. The average particle size of the final product (purified LaOF) is around few ten nanometers.

This paper presents the performance analysis of MC-CDMA system in reverse links acquired through the computer simulation. For channel estimation which is essential component of mobile communications, a modified alpha algorithm is proposed to estimate the channel sate for MC-CDMA system. In order to update the channel estimator of each subchannel, the modified algorithm uses the final hard-decision value in the receiver.

Background and Objectives: The influence of visual stimulus on the auditory component in the perception of auditory-visual (AV) consonant-vowel syllables has been demonstrated in different languages. Inherent properties of unimodal stimuli are known to modulate AV integration. The present study investigated how the amount of McGurk effect (an outcome of AV integration) varies across three different consonant combinations in Kannada language. The importance of unimodal syllable identification on the amount of McGurk effect was also seen. Subjects and Methods: Twenty-eight individuals performed an AV identification task with ba/ga, pa/ka and ma/ṇa consonant combinations in AV congruent, AV incongruent (McGurk combination), audio alone and visual alone condition. Cluster analysis was performed using the identification scores for the incongruent stimuli, to classify the individuals into two groups; one with high and the other with low McGurk scores. The differences in the audio alone and visual alone scores between these groups were compared. Results: The results showed significantly higher McGurk scores for ma/ṇa compared to ba/ga and pa/ka combinations in both high and low McGurk score groups. No significant difference was noted between ba/ga and pa/ka combinations in either group. Identification of /ṇa/ presented in the visual alone condition correlated negatively with the higher McGurk scores. Conclusions: The results suggest that the final percept following the AV integration is not exclusively explained by the unimodal identification of the syllables. But there are other factors which may also contribute to making inferences about the final percept.

천연건조 중 목재의 함수율 변화 예측모형을 제시하기 위하여 15본의 소나무 원목에 대한 천연건조를 수행하였다. 초기함수율이 68.7%인 6본의 소나무 원목에 대하여 여름철에 천연건조를 시작한 후 약 880일이 경과한 후의 최종함수율은 17.4%이었다. 초기함수율이 35.8%인 9본의 소나무 원목에 대하여 겨울철에 천연건조를 시작한 후 약 760일이 경과한 후의 최종함수율은 16.0%이었다. 소나무 원목의 말구지름, 온도, 상대습도, 풍속을 독립변수로 결정하고, 천연건조 중 감소한 함수율을 종속변수로 다중회귀분석을 진행한 결과, 결정계수 0.925의 회귀모형을 얻을 수 있었다. 소나무 원목의 특성인 초기함수율과 말구지름이 기상조건인 온도, 상대습도, 풍속에 비하여 천연건조 중 함수율 감소에 미치는 영향이 더 크게 나타났다. 천연건조 중 내부함수율의 분포 및 함수율 변화를 예측하기 위하여 2차원 물질전달 해석을 수행하였다. 건조일수를 서로 다르게 적용하고, 수분확산계수 및 표면방사계수를 결정하는 기상조건을 다르게 적용한 2가지의 예측모형을 제시하였다. 2가지 적용 방법의 오차는 0.1 - 0.8%의 범위였으며, 측정값과의 차이는 2.2 - 3.6%의 범위였다. 다양한 초기함수율과 말구지름의 소나무 원목에 대한 천연건조 중 내부함수율을 측정하고, 각각의 기상조건에 대한 목재 내 수분이동계수를 산출하면 예측모형의 오차를 감소시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The purpose of the research is to develop a systematic model to interpret makeup signs through a case analysis of makeup shown in Alexander McQueen's ready-to-wear collections from 2001 to 2010 and to prove an importance of makeup as a communication medium to deliver social and cultural values. This research employed Panofsky's Iconology theory to analyze data. This theory consists of three steps to interpret the meaning of a work: (1) pre-iconographical description, (2) iconographical analysis, and (3) iconological interpretation. Alexander McQueen's makeup was analyzed with the three steps in order. As a result of the pre-iconographical description step, makeup styles (icons) in his collections are identified which are Egyptian style, Gothic style, Androgynous style, Victorian style, Fantasia style, and Futuristic variant style. The iconographical analysis step identified that the elements used in his makeup are inspired by his identity and life. In the final step of iconological interpretation, the researcher concluded that Alexander McQueen's makeup expresses social, cultural, and aesthetical value of the time period when the collection was created. His makeup shows postmodernism that accepts a diversity of views (the pluralism) and humanism, romantic narcissism that is his personality trait, and avant-garde that pursues a new, creative aesthetics.

In analyzing residual radiation, researchers generally use a two-step Monte Carlo (MC) simulation. The first step (MC1) simulates neutron transport, and the second step (MC2) transports the decay photons emitted from the activated materials. In this process, the stochastic uncertainty estimated by the MC2 appears only as a final result, but it is underestimated because the stochastic error generated in MC1 cannot be directly included in MC2. Hence, estimating the true stochastic uncertainty requires quantifying the propagation degree of the stochastic error in MC1. The brute force technique is a straightforward method to estimate the true uncertainty. However, it is a costly method to obtain reliable results. Another method, called the adjoint-based method, can reduce the computational time needed to evaluate the true uncertainty; however, there are limitations. To address those limitations, we propose a new strategy to estimate uncertainty propagation without any additional calculations in two-step MC simulations. To verify the proposed method, we applied it to activation benchmark problems and compared the results with those of previous methods. The results show that the proposed method increases the applicability and user-friendliness preserving accuracy in quantifying uncertainty propagation. We expect that the proposed strategy will contribute to efficient and accurate two-step MC calculations.

A cross-cultural comparison of social networking structure on McDonald's Facebook fan sites between Taiwan and the USA was conducted utilizing the individualism/collectivism dimension proposed by Hofstede. Four network indicators are used to describe the network structure of McDonald's Facebook fan sites: size, density, clique and centralization. Individuals who post on both Facebook sites for the year of 2012 were considered as network participants for the purpose of the study. Due to the huge amount of data, only one thread of postings was sampled from each month of the year of 2012. The final data consists of 1002 postings written by 896 individuals and 5962 postings written by 5532 individuals from Taiwan and the USA respectively. The results indicated that the USA McDonald's Facebook fan network has more fans, while Taiwan's McDonald's Facebook fan network is more densely connected. Cliques did form among the overall multiplex and within the individual uniplex networks in two countries, yet no significant differences were found between them. All the fan networks in both countries are relatively centralized, mostly on the site operators.
