In this paper, the curing reaction of UF resins was investigated by a real time FT-IR method. The curing temperature range of the UF resin was $25{\sim}200^{\circ}C$. It was found that the reactions of UF resin at different temperatures resultedin resins with different cross-linked structures. A real time FT-IR spectroscopy can be considered as a good routine analytical tool for following the progress of UF resin curing.

We have investigated the kinetics of diffusion-influenced bimolecular reactions in which one reactant has an internal mode, called the gating mode, that activates or deactivates its reactivity intermittently. The rate law and an expression for the time-dependent rate coefficient have been obtained from the general formalism based on the hierarchy of kinetic equations involving reactant distribution functions. The analytic expression obtained for the steady-state reaction rate constant coincides with the one obtained by Szabo et al., who derived the expression by employing the conventional concentration-gradient approach. For the time-dependent reaction rate coefficient, we obtained for the first time an exact analytic expression in the Laplace domain which was then inverted numerically to give the time-domain results.

This paper describes autonomous emergency braking systems (AEB) for elderly drivers designed to consider their driving characteristics. With aging, perception-reaction time, and decision-making time increase accordingly. Without being aware of these performance degradations, however, changes in driving patterns due to increased alertness while driving lead to vehicle crashes. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an autonomous emergency braking system by incorporating the characteristics of the elderly driver. In order to enhance the driver acceptance of older people, perception-reaction time, alertness, and ride comfort need to be considered for conventional autonomous emergency braking systems (C-AEB). Proactive AEB(P-AEB) algorithm has been proposed to reflect human factor of elderly driver above. The performance of the proposed algorithm has been evaluated through MATLAB simulink simulation studies. It has been shown from the computer simulations that the proposed P-AEB algorithm enhances the driver acceptance of older people by improving ride comfort while ensuring safety of vehicle.

Treatment efficiency research was performed using Fenton process and the electrochemical process in the presence of ferrous ion and hydrogen peroxide for the industrial wastewater including 1,4-Dioxane produced during polymerization of polyester. The Fenton process and the electrochemical Iron Redox Reaction (IRR) process were applied for this research to use hydroxyl radical as the powerful oxidant which is continuously produced during the redox reaction with iron ion and hydrogen peroxide. The results of $COD_{Cr}$ and the concentration of 1,4-Dioxane were compared with time interval during the both processes. The rapid removal efficiency was obtained for Fenton process whereas the slow removal efficiency was occurred for the electrochemical IRR process. The removal efficiency of $COD_{Cr}$ for 310 minutes was 84% in the electrochemical IRR process with 1,000 mg/L of iron ion concentration, whereas it was 91% with 2,000 mg/L of iron ion concentration. The lap time to remove all of 1,4-Dioxane, 330 mg/L in the wastewater took 150 minutes with 1,000 mg/L of iron ion concentration, however it took 120 minutes with 2,000 mg/L of iron ion concentration in the electrochemical IRR process.

This study established a new polymerase spiral reaction (PSR) that combines with reverse transcription reactions for HCV detection targeting 5'UTR gene. To avoid cross-contamination of aerosols, an isothermal amplification tube (IAT), as a separate containment control, was used to judge the result. After optimizing the RT-PSR reaction system, its effectiveness and specificity were tested against 15 different virus strains which included 8 that were HCV positive and 7 as non-HCV controls. The results showed that the RT-PSR assay effectively detected all 8 HCV strains, and no false positives were found among the 7 non-HCV strains. The detection limit of our RT-PSR assay is comparable to the real-time RT-PCR, but is more sensitive than the RT-LAMP. The established RT-PSR assay was further evaluated for detection of HCV in clinical blood samples, and the resulting 80.25% detection rate demonstrated better or similar effectiveness compared to the RT-LAMP (79.63%) and real-time RT-PCR (80.25%). Overall, the results showed that the RT-PSR assay offers high specificity and sensitivity for HCV detection with great potential for screening HCV in clinical blood samples.

This study was conducted to compare the hunting reaction of finger in the cold water. Finger skin temperature is measured the left middle finger tip immersion in cold water of 5℃ for 30 minutes and measurements were made on finger skin temperature(Ts), thermal comfort, and cold pain sensations during the experiment at the spring (March) and Winter(December). Results were follows. Is before immersion was at the highest in spring and at the lowest in winter and was closely related to the indoor temperature Ts during immersion and recovery. Mean of finger skin temperature(MST), the skin temperature at the first rise(TTR) and amplitude of finger skin temperature reaction during immersion(AT) were significant higher in spring than that in winter(P＜.01). The lowest skin temperature(LST) during the cold water immersion were significantly higher in spring than that in winter (P＜.05). The frequency of the appearance of cold-Induced vase dilation(CIVD) was higher in spring than that in winter. However, time for the first temperature(TTR) and recovery time(RT) had no seasonal variation. In addition, cold pains during immersion were felt more strongly in spring than in winter. Local thermal sensation, finger thermal sensation in dynamic state during hand immersion was different from that in the Winter. Spring was slowly cold in cold water immersion.

This paper considers a fault tolerant control problem for a spacecraft using reaction wheels. Faults are assumed to be inherent to only actuators(reaction wheels) and a control algorithm to accommodate actuators' faults is proposed. An attitude control loop includes an angular velocity control loop. The time delay control method is used to make a spacecraft follow the command angular velocity and to accommodate actuators' faults. A stability condition for the proposed algorithm is derived and the performance is demonstrated by computer simulations.

Pepsin-catalyzed hydrolysis and plastein reaction were carried out to prepare plastein product from soymilk residue protein. Conditions required for optimal hydrolysis of soymilk residue protein and subsequent plastein production were investigated. The optimum substrate concentration, enzyme-substrate ratio, pH, reaction temperature and incubation time for hydrolysis were 3%, 1/50, 1.7, $45^{\circ}C$ and 24 hours, respectively. Plastein formation from peptic hydrolysate of soymilk residue protein was most effective at substrate concentratin of 40%, pH 4 and $45^{\circ}C$. Reaction time of 18 hours and enzyme-substrate ratio of 1/100 were selected for plastein production. Electrophoresis of the products revealed that protein-like substances of high molecular weight were produced from the plastein reaction.

The reaction of hydration proceeded at the same time the vapor was introduced into the reactor that was filled with calcined dolomite. It has shown that the temperature has begun to fall from the bottom of reactor after increase of temperature by the heat of hydration reaction. The reaction initiated at the pipe wall and the heat was transfer to the center of block between the fins. The results show that the use of copper fin in the reactor reducted the hydration reaction time by half when compared to the case without using the fins.

A fungus with the highest protopectinase productivity was selected among 205 strains isolated from the soil and identified as a Verticillium sp. The Verticillium sp. was cultivated on wheat bran and the crude extruct of its culture medium showed the highest protopectinase activity on the following conditions: 3 days of cultivation time, 27$^{\circ}C$ of cultivation temperature, 1.2 $m\ell$/g wheat bran of water content, and reinforcement of ammonium nitrate and calcium chloride at the concentration of 0.5 and 0.02%, respectively. The optimum conditions for pectin production from Citrus peel pulp by the protopectinase were consequently obtained as follows: 20$m\ell$/g of liquid volume-to-pulp weight ratio, 4$0^{\circ}C$ of reaction temperature, and 4 of reaction pH. The higher the enzyme concentration, the better the yield of pectin and the shorter the reaction time. Total 45.6mg of pectin/g peel was produced by 1 hour reaction at the enzyme concentration of 10.5 units/$m\ell$. Molecular weight of the pectin produced by the enzyme was estimated to be about 62,000 by Smit and Bryant's method.
