  • Ionic liquids (ILs) have been extensively investigated as promising alternatives to conventional organic solvents such as sulfolane and N,N-dimethylformamide for the selective extraction of aromatic hydrocarbons from the $C_6-C_{10}$ hydrocarbon mixtures produced from the cracking processes of naphtha and light oils. The most important advantage of ILs over conventional organic solvents is that they are immiscible with aliphatic hydrocarbons, and thus the back extraction of ILs from the raffinate phases and top hydrocarbon-rich layers is not necessary. In this paper, a brief review on the state of the art in the utilization of ILs for aromatics separation is presented.

  • The purpose of this study was to investigate the distribution pattern of CGRP immunoreactive nerve fibers in the healing mucosa of extracion wound. Maxillary 1st molars of rats were extracted. All extraction sites and adjacent tissues of 3 groups of rats(1-week, 2-week and 4-week groups) were removed en bloc and processed for immunostaining and were subjected to light microscopic examination. The results obtained were as follows; In 1-week group, there was no difference in the distribution pattern of CGRP immunoreactive nerve fiber between epithelial margin adjacent to extraction socket and normal gingival epithelium. In 2-week group, some CGRP-immunoreactive nerve fibers were seen in epithelial layer. In 4-week group, many intercellular CGRP immunoreactive nerve fibers were abundant in all layers of immature epithelium characterized by scab on the mucosa and thick keratinized cell layer with irregular surface. Intraepithelial CGRP immunoreactive nerve fibers were reduced to normal level in adjacent mature epithelium. These results suggest that density of CGRP immunoreactive nerve fibers are increased transiently in epithelium during reepithelialization process and CGRP released from these nerve fibers may play an important role in the reepithelialization in the wound healing.

  • The ocean signal that reaches the detector of an imaging system after multiple interactions with the atmospheric molecules and aerosols was retrieved from the total signal recorded at the top of the atmosphere (TOA). A simple method referred to as 'Path Extraction' applied to the Landsat-TM ocean imagery of turbid coastal water was compared with the conventional dark-pixel subtraction technique. The shape of the path-extracted water-leaving radiance spectrum resembled the radiance spectrum measured in-situ. The path-extraction was also extended to the SeaWiFS ocean color imagery and compared with the standard SeaWiFS atmospheric correction algorithm, which relays on the assumption of zero water leaving radiance at the two NIR wavebands (765 and 865nm). The path-extracted water-leaving radiance was good agreement with the measured radiance spectrum. In contrast, the standard SeaWiFS atmospheric correction algorithm led to essential underestimation of the water-leaving radiance in the blue-green part of the spectrum. The reason is that the assumption of zero water-leaving radiance at 755 and 865nm fails due to backscattering by suspended mineral particles. Therefore, the near infrared channels 765 and 865nm used fur deriving the aerosol information are no longer valid for turbid coastal waters. The path-extraction is identified as a simple and efficient method of extracting the path radiance largely introduced due to light interaction through the complex atmosphere carried several aerosol and gaseous components and at the air-sea interface.interface.

  • Phospholipids were recovered from squid viscera residues by ethanol extraction after supercritical carbon dioxide($SCO_2$) extraction and from squid viscera was not processed $SCO_2$ by various organic solvent extraction. $SCO_2$ extraction were performed at $45^{\circ}C$ and 20 MPa for removal of non polar lipid molecules from freeze dried squid viscera sample. Phospholipids were extracted from freeze dried squid viscera sample by chloroform, hexane, methanol, and ethanol and from $SCO_2$extracted squid viscera sample by ethanol. The pH was fixed at 5.7 for all phospholipids extraction conditions. Phospholipid classes were analyzed by HPLC equipped with evaporative light scattering detector (ELSD). Phosphatidyl choline(PC) extracted by ethanol from $SCO_2$ extracted residues was higher than that of extracted by ethanol from squid viscera. But phosphatidyl ethanolamine(PE) and phosphatidic acid(PA) were extracted higher percentage in raw squid viscera. The fatty acid compositions in phospholipids extract by ethanol extract from $SCO_2$ extracted residues were analyzed by gas chromatography(GC). Docosahexanoic acid(DHA) was found in highest percentage in phospholipid extract.

  • Halotolerant microalga Dunaliella bardawil was reported to massively accumulate the ${\beta}$-carotene, which protects cells from excess light intensity. Maximum specific growth rate of 0.168/hr was achieved when cells were cultivated at 1 N NaCl, pH 8.0, light intensity 80 ${\mu}E/m^{2}/s$, agitation 70rpm. For the effectiv accumulation of ${\beta}$-carotene, ozone ro hydrogen peroxide was added to media which was irradiated with white fuorescent lamps with moderate light intensity of 250 ${\mu}E/m^{2}/s$. As a result, maximum volumetric content of ${\beta}$-carotene was 324 ${\mu}$g/㎖. The ${\beta}$-carotene extraction efficiency of vegetable oils was in the order of olive oil, sesame oil, rice brain oil, corn oil, and soy bean oil. Sonication and warming was effective in ${\mu}$-carotene extraction and finally 96.9% of ${\beta}$ could be extracted using olive oil.

  • A system to extract continuously the real 3-D geometric fearture information from 2-D image of an object, which is fed randomly via conveyor has been developed. Two sets of structured laser lightings were utilized. And the laser structured light projection image was acquired using the camera from the signal of the photo-sensor mounted on the conveyor. Camera coordinate calibration matrix was obtained, which transforms 2-D image coordinate information into 3-D world space coordinate using known 6 points. The maximum error after calibration showed 1.5 mm within the height range of 103mm. The correlation equation between the shift amount of the laser light and the height was generated. Height information estimated after correlation showed the maximum error of 0.4mm within the height range of 103mm. An interactive 3-D geometric feature extracting software was developed using Microsoft Visual C++ 4.0 under Windows system environment. Extracted 3-D geometric feature information was reconstructed into 3-D surface using MATLAB.

  • Vision based night-time vehicle detection has been an emerging research field in various advanced driver assistance systems(ADAS) and automotive vehicle as well as automatic head-lamp control. In this paper, we propose night-time vehicle detection method based on multi-class support vector machine(SVM) that consists of thresholding, labeling, feature extraction, and multi-class SVM. Vehicle light candidate blobs are extracted by local mean based thresholding following by labeling process. Seven geometric and stochastic features are extracted from each candidate through the feature extraction step. Each candidate blob is classified into vehicle light or not by multi-class SVM. Four different multi-class SVM including one-against-all(OAA), one-against-one(OAO), top-down tree structured and bottom-up tree structured SVM classifiers are implemented and evaluated in terms of vehicle detection performances. Through the simulations tested on road video sequences, we prove that top-down tree structured and bottom-up tree structured SVM have relatively better performances than the others.

  • A backlight unit for a 42-inch LCD TV was manufactured with red, green, and blue LED lamps. The luminous and light extraction efficiencies of the LED lamps were increased by improving their light reflection structures and thermal properties. The blue, green, and red LED lamps showed different luminous efficiencies as a function of the input current. Compared to the conventional red LED lamp, however, the developed red LED lamp showed very high luminous efficiency in a low drive current. Taking these luminous efficiencies into account, the fabricated backlight unit showed high energy efficiency, low power consumption, and a wide color gamut.

  • A light-weight multiple piston corer to meet increasing coring needs in areas where R/V access is limited, is designed and discussed. Hydraulically-damped and spring-driven piston system not only virtually undisturbed surface sediments but also facilitate the recovery and subsequent operation including pore water extraction and core slicing on board the ship. It is designed as compact, light-weight and easy to dissemble that whole gear can be carried by small passenger vehicle yet it permits thick-walled core tube for thermal insulation or large opening core tubes. Because single spring instead of heavy weights of conventional gravity-driven multiple corers is used, this device is very simple and cheap to construct.
