Under the new environmental regulations announced by the government, utilities will have to cut their sulfur dioxide emissions by 60% from 1991 levels by the year of 1999. Sulfur dioxide emissions can be reduced prior to combustion by physical, chemical or biological coal cleaning. The new technology of high gradient magnetic separation (HGMS) offers the potential of economic separatoins of a variety of fine, weakly magnetic minerals including inorganic sulfur and many ash-forming minerals from coals. In the present paper, magnetic separation tests have been conducted on Korean anthracite and high-sulfur Chinese coal to investigate the feasibility of these techniques for reducing sulfur content from coals. In wet magnetic separation, the studied operating parameters include particle size, pH, matrix types, feed solids content, feed rate, number of cleaning stages and etc. The results shows that for wet separation, 60~70% of total sulfur was removed from coals with over 80% combustible recovery, on the other hand, for dry separation, 47.6% of total sulfur was removed from coals with 75% recovery.

A NiW functional alloy plating was investigated as variables of metal ion concentration, complexing agent, temperature, pH and applied current density. Even if numerous studies on reaction mechanism of NiW induced codeposition were carried out during couples of decade, it has not been acceptable reaction mechanism. This study was focused on the effect of the plating variables on the alloy composition in the NiW alloy plating. Applied current density could control mainly the alloy composition rather than other plating variables. It has also been confirmed that the functional alloy plating such as layered or gradient plating was possible by controlling applied current density.

The electronic structure, optical spectra, and thermodynamic properties of the three FOX-7 polymorphs (${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$, and ${\gamma}$) have been studied systematically using density functional theory. The LDA (CA-PZ) and generalized gradient approximation (GGA) (PW91) functions were used to relax the three FOX-7 phases without any constraint. Their density of states and partial density of states were calculated and analyzed. The band gaps for the three phases were calculated and the sequence of their sensitivity was presented. Their absorption coefficients were computed and compared. The thermodynamic functions including enthalpy (H), entropy (S), free energy (G), and heat capacity ($C_p$) for the three phases were evaluated.

We suggest flux quantum-based mechanism for force realization in the sub-pico-Newton range. By controlling the number of flux quantum in a superconducting ring, a force can be created as an integer multiple of a constant force step. For a 50 nm-thick Nb ring with the inner and outer radii of $5{\mu}m\;and\;10{\mu}m$, respectively, the force step is estimated to be 165 fN, assuming the magnetic field gradient of 10 T/m. We also estimated a maximum force limit to be $1\sim2$ pN.

Bromelain(EC 3.4.22.4), the collective name for the proteolytic enzymes found in tissues of the plant family Bromeliaceae(pineapple), has been used as a tenderizing agent in food processing, and as an antiinflammatory agent in pharmaceuticals. In this paper, we describe the simple purification method of bromelain using Korean pineapple fruit. After removing contaminants at 30% saturation of ammonium sulfate, the supernatant obtained was treated again with ammonium sulfate to 80% saturation. Wit the above salt fractionation, partially purified bromelain could be obtained. To get highly purified bromelain, the previous 30% to 80% ammonium sulfate treated precipitate was dialyzed against 25mM sodium acetate buffer(pH 5.0) followed by passing through a CM- cellulose cation exchange column. Fruit bromelain was eluted as a major peak at 0.5~0.8M NaCI gradient. The present method is simpler with high wield than the traditional purification method-acetone treatment and several consecutive chromatographic processes.

기존 무선에너지 하비스팅시스템에서 유저는 하나의 Hybirid-AP (H-AP)로부터 에너지와 정보를 동시에 받았다. 하지만 무선에너지 하비스팅은 거리가 멀수록 감쇄가 심하기 때문에 H-AP에서 거리가 먼 유저들은 낮은 하비스팅 효율 가진다 (이중 근거리/원거리 문제). 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서 본 논문은 Power beacon (PB)을 통해 유저에게 별도의 파워를 공급하는 비결합 무선에너지 하비스팅 네트워크를 시스템 모델로 사용하였다. 이 논문의 주된 목적은 다양한 제약 조건과 Quality of service (QoS), 그리고 Quality of harvested power (QoP)를 만족하면서 목적 함수인 Energy efficiency (EE)를 최대화 하는 것이다. 제안된 시스템은 라그랑지안 쌍대 분해법 이론을 기반으로 EE 최대화를 위한 최적의 시간 스케줄링 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이 알고리즘을 통해 프레임 분해 요소, H-AP의 송신파워, 그리고 PB의 송신파워의 최적 값과 EE의 최대값을 구할 수 있다. 모의 실험 결과는 제안된 알고리즘으로 파라미터가 최적 값으로 빠르게 수렴하고 제안된 모델의 성능이 기존의 시스템 모델보다 우수하다는 것을 증명한다.

We studied the role of assisted fertilization(subzonal insemination, intracytoplasmic sperm injection) in enhancing fertilization and pregnancy rate in obstructive azoospermia. MESA was performed in the patients with congenital absence of the vas deferens and unreconstructable obstructive azoospermia. Sperm were aspirated microsurgically from various sites along the epididymal stump. Sperm were then washed on a mini-PercoH gradient or swim-up method and treated by 2-deoxyadenosine and pentoxifylline. Conventional IVF(group I, 14 cycles), SUZI(group II, 13 cycles) and ICSI(gruop III, 28 cycles) were carried out in 55 treatment cycles. The clinical results are as follows: 1. Fertilization rates for group I, II and III were 16.1 %,31.4% and 48.6%, retrospectively (p<0.05). 2. Clinical pregnancy rates for group I, II and III were 7.1 %,7.7%, and 32.1 'Yo, retrospectively. 3. In 5 of MESA-ICSI cycles, epididymal sperm from alloplastic spermatocele were used and 2 clinical pregnancies (40%) were obtained. According to our results the combined MESA-ICSI procedure is highly effcient in improving fertilization and pregnancy rate in congenital absence of the vas deferens and unreconstructable obstructive azoospermia.

This study was conducted to provide ecological basic data that use to establish environmental conditions for cultivation of wild vegetables in 2016-2018. Therefore, we investigated the vegetation structure and the correlation between the community structure and the environmental factors for natural habitats of wild vegetables(Aster glehni, Allium ochotense, and Aruncus sylvester) distributed in Ulleungdo. As a result of population and gradient analysis, the vegetation was classified into Aster glehni community, Allium ochotense community, and Aruncus sylvester community. We confirmed that the classification by population analysis was consistent with that by TWINSPAN method, suggesting that they were complemented each other. The importance value of Aster glehni was the highest in all communities, followed by Aruncus sylvester, Allium ochotense, Hydrangea petiolaris, Dryopteris crassirhizoma, Asperula ldorata, Phryma leptostachya var. asiatica, Disporum viridrescens, Hedera rhombea, Anthriscus sylvestris, and Hepatica maxima. According to the results of DCCA ordination analysis, among those communities, the Aster glehni community was distributed in soil where the nutrition including T-N and O.M. were intermediate. The Allium ochotense community was distributed on the a little high northern slope at the highest altitude where the CEC and O.M. were the highest, and other nutrition and pH were low. The Aruncus sylvester was distributed on high slope and altitude on which the amount of exchangeable cation such as $Ca^{{+}{+}}$, $Mg^{{+}{+}}$ and pH were high, and the CEC, $P_2O_5$, and O.M. were the lowest.

Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) has been widely used fur both human infertility and basic research. However, the high incidence of chromosomal abnormality is severe problem in cattle. Various oocyte activation stimuli, therefore, were compared by assessment of developmental capacity and chromosome analysis. Motile sperm selected by Percoll-density gradient were treated with 5 mM dithiothreitol (DTT) and injected into an oocyte matured fur 24 h. Eggs were then allocated into 5 treatment groups. Group 1 (control), sperm injection was performed without any further activation stimuli to the oocytes. Group 2 (handled control), sham injection was performed without sperm. In Group 3, oocytes exposed to 5 (M ionomycin for 5 min at 39(C. Group 4. ionomycine + 1.9 mM demethylaminopurine (DMAP, 3 h) and Group 5, ionomycine + 3 h culture in Ml99 + DMAP. Cleavage and the later development rate in Groups 1, 2 and 3 were significantly (P<0.05) lower than those in Groups 4 and 5. The incidence of chromosomal abnormality in the embryos treated directly with DMAP after ionomycine was relatively higher than in the embryo of Group 3 h, delayed DMAP treatment. From this results DMAP caused to be arrested the release of the 2nd polar body, resulting in changes of chromosomal pattern. Therefore, the time interval between ionomycin and DMAP is a crucial role in bovine ICSI.
