The interaction energies of Xenon in n-alkanes were estimated by using three models for the cavity formation process, Hildebrand's regular solution theory, Pierotti's scaled particle theory and Sinanoglu-Reiss-Moura-Ramos' solvophobic theory in an attempt to examine the validity of three models. It appears that Pierotti's implementation of scaled particle theory yields a reasonable estimate of cavity formation energy over a considerable range in solvent size provided that the solute is spherical enough as are the inert gases.

Particle contamination on the data storage disks has been a serious problem for magnetic hard disk drive manufacturers. For high storage optical disks, such as DVD-ROM/RAM or NFR (near field recording) system, particle-induced damages can be also detected because only a few micrometer particles can prevent read/write signal from optical lens. The increasing areal density and smaller bit size accelerates particle induced damages on the optical disk. One of the methods to prevent particle contamination on the optical disk surface is to handle the disk enclosed in a cartridge like a modern DVD-RAM disk. However, even for a perfectly sealed disk drive, particles are found inside the drive. The other method is to improve disk surface characteristics. Particle contamination on the surface can be reduced by proper selection of disk coating materials. [n this paper, particle detachment ratios for CD (compact disk), DVD (digital versatile disk), HD (magnetic hard disk), HD with Jut lubricant, and aluminosilicate substrate HD were investigated. Surface roughness and surface energy of the test disks were compared with the particle detachment ratios. Proper substrate and lubricant characteristics to reduce particle contamination on the disk surface were found.

다양한 Si/Al 몰비를 지닌 MTT 제올라이트를 합성하여 methanol-to-olefin(MTO) 반응에서 촉매의 산성도가 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. Si/Al 몰비를 조절하기 위해 N,N,N',N'-테트라메틸-1,3-디아미노프로판을 구조유도물질(SDA)로 사용하였으며, 알루민산나트륨의 함량을 달리하여 $20SiO_2$ : 30SDA : x (=0.25~1.25)$NaAlO_2$ : 2NaOH : $624H_2O$ 조성으로 모액을 제조한 후 433 K에서 4일 동안 수열 합성하였다. 알루민산나트륨의 함량이 감소함에 따라 MTT 제올라이트의 입자 크기가 증가하였으며 또한 산점의 양도 감소하였다. 제조한 MTT 제올라이트의 촉매 활성을 평가하기 위해 673 K에서 공간속도(WHSV)가 $1.2h^{-1}$인 조건으로 MTO 반응을 수행한 결과, Si/Al 몰비가 24인 H-MTT (1.00Al) 촉매가 900분까지 90% 이상의 전환율을 유지함을 확인하였다.

In order to treat groundwater containing high levels of nitrate, nitrate reduction by nano sized zero-valent iron (nZVI) was studied using batch experiments. Compared to nitrate removal efficiencies at different mass ratios of $nitrate/Fe^0$, the removal efficiency at the mass ratio of 0.02% was the highest(54.59%). To enhance nitrate removal efficiency, surface modification of nZVI was performed using metallic catalysis such as Pd, Ni and Cu. Nitrate removal efficiency by Cu-nZVI (at $catalyst/Fe^0$ mass ratio of 0.1%) was 66.34%. It showed that the removal efficiency of Cu-nZVI was greater than that of the other catalysts. The observed rate constant ($k_{obs}$) of nitrate reduction by Cu-nZVI was estimated to $0.7501min^{-1}$ at the Cu/Fe mass ratio of 0.1%. On the other hand, TEM images showed that the average particle sizes of synthetic nZVI and Cu-nZVI were 40~60 and 80~100 nm, respectively. The results imply that catalyst effects may be more important than particle size effects in the enhancement of nitrate reduction by nZVI.

Synthesized monocrystalline nanodiamond (nD) particles are heat-treated at various temperatures to produce highly structured diamond crystals. The heat-treated nDs show different weight loss ratios during thermogravimetric analysis. The crystallinities of the heat-treated nDs are analyzed using Raman spectroscopy. The average particle sizes of the heat-treated nDs are measured by a dynamic light scattering (DLS) system and direct imaging observation methods. Moreover, individual dispersion behaviors of the heat-treated nD particles are investigated based on ultrasonic dispersion methods. The average particle sizes of the dispersed nDs according to the two different measurement methods show very similar size distributions. Thus, it is possible to produce highly crystallized nD powder particles by a heat-treatment process, and the nD particles are relatively easy to disperse individually without any dispersant. The heat-treated nDs can lead to potential applications such as in nanocomposites, quantum dots, and biomedical materials.

Fine particle capture is facing a challenge since traditional filtration which relies on the combination of impaction, interception, diffusion has a limited efficiency for fine particle capture particularly in size from 0.1 to $0.5{\mu}m$. This paper reviewed the collection efficiency of above mechanisms, as well as magnetic mechanisms for ferromagnetic particles, and mainly studied the influencing factors of magnetic filtration. Filtration velocity, magnetic field intensity and fiber size were found to be the most important parameters for magnetic filtration.

Fungal particles have been known to aggravate indoor air quality. To develop fungal particle cleaning devices requires a well-controlled generator of fungal aerosol particles. In this study, a novel fungal aerosol generator was designed and tested for anti-fungal experiment. Cladosporium cladosporioides was selected as test fungal particle. After aerosolization, the number concentration and the size of particles were measured by aerodynamic particle sizer. The number concentration depended on the vibration strength and vibration period of the designed fungal aerosol generator. For the vibration strength of 10volt and the period of 10 sec (5 sec on and 5 sec off), the stable particle generation with concentration of 10#/cm3 was maintained during 35 minutes.

The particle counter compared with the turbidimeter provides good precision and sensitivity and can get the characteristics of particulates effectively. The purpose of this study is to provide the application of particle counter in sand and activated carbon filters. The particle count by size could be more easily sense when the water quality is changed by the influent of high turbidity or algae. We could decide the optimal backwashing cycles and detect the efficiencies of filters by monitoring the total particle count of effluent in sand and activated carbon filters.

This paper proposes a Modified Particle Swarm Optimization with Time Varying Acceleration Coefficients (MPSO-TVAC) for solving economic load dispatch (ELD) problem. Due to prohibited operating zones (POZ) and ramp rate limits of the practical generators, the ELD problems become nonlinear and nonconvex optimization problem. Furthermore, the ELD problem may be more complicated if transmission losses are considered. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is one of the famous heuristic methods for solving nonconvex problems. However, this method may suffer to trap at local minima especially for multimodal problem. To improve the solution quality and robustness of PSO algorithm, a new best neighbour particle called 'rbest' is proposed. The rbest provides extra information for each particle that is randomly selected from other best particles in order to diversify the movement of particle and avoid premature convergence. The effectiveness of MPSO-TVAC algorithm is tested on different power systems with POZ, ramp-rate limits and transmission loss constraints. To validate the performances of the proposed algorithm, comparative studies have been carried out in terms of convergence characteristic, solution quality, computation time and robustness. Simulation results found that the proposed MPSO-TVAC algorithm has good solution quality and more robust than other methods reported in previous work.

본 연구에서는 움직이는 CCD 카메라로부터 입력된 영상에서 색상 및 질감 성분을 기반으로 하는 파티클 필터를 이용하여 실시간으로 객체를 추적할 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 초기 영상에서 추적하고자 하는 객체를 선택하면 이를 타깃 파티클로 결정하고, 타깃 파티클로 부터 추적을 위한 초기 상태가 모델링 된다. 이후 프레임부터 N개의 파티클들이 랜덤 분포로 생성되고 각 파티클로 부터 질감 정보인 로컬 CS-LBP (Centre Symmetric Local Binary Patterns)모델과 색상 분포 모델이 특징 모델로 사용된다. 각 특징 모델에 대해 바타차리야 (Bhattacharyya) 거리를 사용하여 각 파티클과 타깃 파티클 간의 특징 관측 우도(likelihood)를 구하고 이를 각 파티클의 가중치로 설정 한다. 각 파티클의 가중치를 기반으로 가중치가 가장 높은 파티클을 새로운 타깃으로 설정하고, 각 파티클들을 재 샘플링 한다. 본 실험결과에서는 여러 가지 특징을 조합하여 실험을 하였고, 그 결과 색상 분포 모델과 로컬 CS-LBP를 조합했을 때 추적 성능이 가장 우수한 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
