Pressure retarded osmosis(PRO) has attracted much attention as potential technology to reduce the overall energy consumption for reverse osmosis(RO) desalination. The RO/PRO hybrid process is considered as the most logical next step for future desalination. The PRO process aims to harness the osmotic energy difference of two aqueous solutions separated by a semipermeable membrane. By using the concentrated water(RO brine) discharged from existing RO plants, the PRO process can effectively exploit a greater salinity gradient to reduce the energy cost of processing concentrated water. However, in order to use RO brine as the draw solution, PRO membrane must have high water flux and enough mechanical strength to withstand the high operational pressure. This study investigates the development of a thin film composite PRO membrane and spiral wound module for high power density. Also, the influence of membrane backing layer on the overall power density was studied using the characteristic factors of PRO membranes. Finally, the performance test of an 8-inch spiral wound module was carried out under various operating conditions(i.e. hydraulic pressure, flow rate, temperature). As the flow rate and temperature increased under the same hydraulic pressure, the PRO performance increased due to the growth of water permeability coefficient and osmotic pressure. For a high performance PRO system, in order to optimize the operating conditions, it is highly recommended that the flow pressure be minimized while the flow rate is maintained at a high level.

Sulgidduk samples made with additions of 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10% Houttuynia cordata Thunb. powder, and a control were examined for quality characteristics such as moisture content, water activity, color, gelatinization properties, textural characteristics, and sensory qualities in order to determine the optimal ratio of Houttuynia cordata Thunb. powder in the formulation. The moisture contents among the samples ranged from 41.98% to 44.97%, and increased as the content of Houttuynia cordata Thunb. powder increased. The water activities of the samples were not significantly different. As the Houttuynia cordata Thunb. powder content increased, the redness and yellowness of the samples also increased, but lightness decreased. For the gelatinization properties, the additions of Houttuynia cordata Thunb. powder caused decreases in peak viscosity (P) and holding strength viscosity (H). Furthermore, final viscosity (F), setback, and time to peak viscosity decreased with increasing Houttuynia cordata Thunb. powder content; however, breakdown and temperature to peak viscosity were not significantly different among the samples. Hardness and gumminess decreased with increasing Houttuynia cordata Thunb. powder content, and adhesiveness, cohesiveness, chewiness, and resilience also tended to decrease; however, springiness was not significantly different among the samples. In the consumer acceptance test, as the content of Houttuynia cordata Thunb. powder increased, the scores of all evaluated characteristics decreased; while the characteristic intensity ratings showed the reverse effect, and the 2 and 4% Houttuynia cordata Thunb. powder samples obtained fairly good scores. In conclusion, the results indicate that adding $2{\sim}4%$ Houttuynia cordata Thunb. powder to Sulgidduk is optimal, providing good physiological properties and reasonably high overall consumer acceptability.

This study has been carried out to evaluate the leaching behavior of Tunisian phosphogypsum (PG) tailings in Skhira city (southern Tunisia). Two PG samples, including old and freshly deposited samples, were characterized in terms of physical, geotechnical, mechanical, chemical and mineralogical properties. Special attention was paid to their leaching behavior when subjected to standard leaching tests. Our results indicated that both samples are mainly composed of more than 31.85% CaO and 31.4% SO3, indicating the predominance of gypsum. This was further confirmed by XRD patterns that revealed the presence of characteristic reflections of gypsum, brushite, quartz and Maladrite. Compressive strength after 90 d exceeded 769 kPa, but still lower than that of natural sand (1,800 kPa). Leaching test was proposed as an appropriate method to determine the released contaminants from PG. The obtained results showed that Fluorine and Phosphorus are the most released elements from PG with 40 and 30%, respectively. The released Se, Cd, and Zn were the only trace elements that exceeded the threshold limits. It seemed that leached element concentrations were independent aging or particle size of the PG. Based on the assessment of leaching behavior, an integrated management approach of the PG deposits was proposed.

Squeeze casting was used for fabricating a light metal base composite having high strength and wearresistance. Reactive sintering was used to prepare the preform of Squeeze casting. To utilize Fe-Al intermetallic compounds and SiC particle as a reinforcement, there needs to prepare Fe-Al mixed powder at 50, 60, 70at.%Al, and add SiC powder to the above mixture at 4, 7, 16, 24wt.%. The prepared mixture with SiC was reactive sintered in a tube furnace at $660^{\circ}C$ to get a porous hybrid preform of intermetallic compound and SiC. The preform prepared above was placed in a metal mold, preheated at $660^{\circ}C$ AC4C matrix was injected into the mold with the temperature of the melt at $610^{\circ}C$ After these processes, 66MPa was applied to the mold for 5 minute to finish the whole procedure. The maximum reaction temperature was increased with the increased Al amount, but decreased with the increased SiC amount. The density of the preform was decreased with SiC amount increase in the compacts due to swelling of the preform. An optical microscope was applied to observe the micro structure and the dispersion of the reinforcements. To analyze phases, We utilized XRD, EDS. Hardness test were chosen to get the information of mechanical properties. There were no significant changes in micro structure between the composite and preform. However, it was shown that uniform dispersion of the reinforcers and complete infiltration of the melt into the preform were achieved through the procedure of the squeeze casting. It was observed that the hardness of the composite is decreased with increased SiC amount, resulting from the volumetric expansion of the preform.

천연 흑연으로부터 Graphene oxide(GO)를 합성한 후 diisocyanatodicyclohexylmethane($H_{12}MDI$)를 이용하여 GO의 표면을 기능화하였고, hydrazine monohydrate에 의한 환원을 통해 isocyanate-graphene sheet(i-RGO)를 얻었다. 폴리우레탄과 적합한 나노복합체를 형성하기 위하여 GO, i-RGO, 천연흑연 및 열적환원된 graphene을 서로 비교분석하였으며, i-RGO가 가장 적합한 나노충전제로 선정되었다. 선정된 i-RGO의 함량에 따른 폴리우레탄의 물성 향상을 확인하기 위하여 충전제의 함량을 다르게 하여 PU/i-RGO 나노복합체를 합성하였다. 물성 평가에서, i-RGO의 함량이 증가할수록 열적 안정성, 경도 및 접촉각(발수력)이 향상되었는데, 이는 i-RGO의 물성 특성 및 가교점 작용에 기인한 것으로 판단되었다. 다만, 인장강도와 신장률의 경우 함량이 4 wt%를 넘어갈 경우 오히려 물성이 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있었는데, 이는 과량의 가교점 형성이 원인인 것으로 해석되었다.

Back pain has plagued humans for many thousands of years. The treatment of back pain is divided into operative treatment and conservative treatment. It is reported that cure rate of conservative treatment is 80~90 percent. Generally, the treatment of oriental medicine is mostly conservative treatment. But, surgery should not be used as a last resort in treatment; it is just one of many treatment options for various spinal conditions. In some instance, it can be to preferred choice; in other situations, alternative therapies may be superior. Selections of the operation in HIVD 1. Acute disc herniations with a protracted significant component af back pain. 2. Chronic disc degeneration with significant back pain and degeneration limited to one or two disc levels. 3. Sugical instability created during decompression. 4. The presence of neural arch defects coincident with disc disease. 5. Symptamatic and radiographically demonstrable segmental instability. Selections of the operation in stenosis 1. If it does not slowly progress in physical therapy and other nonoperative measures, many of these patients may ultimately need surgical decompression. 2.

본 논문에서는 다양한 3D 게임 진행에서 NPC들을 속성에 따라 그룹핑하는 방법을 제시한다. 움직임이 없는 NPC는 가버필터링 결과에서 특이한 방향성 특성을 띄는 경향이 있지만 사람이나 동물과 같은 NPC는 그렇지 않다. 그룹핑을 위해 우선 NPC 객체 내부의 방향성과 주파수 영역의 특징을 분석하고 각각을 24개의 가버 필터뱅크로 구성하며 필터의 스케일과 방향에 따른 24차원 특징 벡터를 산출한다. 추출된 벡터는 특정 방향에 따른 에너지를 나타낸다. 이러한 에너지는 NPC 내부에 있는 객체 질감의 특정 방향에 대한 크기를 나타내고 있기 때문에 NPC들을 그룹핑 속성으로 이용하였다. 제안한 방법은 게임진행에서 유사한 속성을 가진 NPC들이 자동으로 그룹핑되어 전략적이고 속도감 있게 플레이 할 수 있는 기능을 제공한다.

High brittleness is a characteristic of glass, and in many cases it is broken during the process of machining due to processing problems, such as scratches, chipping, and notches. Machining defects occur due to the vibration of the equipment. Therefore, design techniques are needed that can control the vibration generated in the equipment to increase the strength of tempered glass. The natural frequency of the machine tool via vibration analysis (computer simulation) must be accurately understood to improve the design to ensure the stability of the machine. To accurately understand the natural frequency, 3D modeling, which is the same as actual apparatus, was used and a constraint condition was also applied that was the same as that of the actual apparatus. The maximum speeds of ultrasonic and high frequency, which are 15,000 rpm and 60,000 rpm, respectively, are considerably faster than those of typical machine tools. Therefore, an improved design is needed so that the natural frequency is formed at a lower region and the natural frequency does not increase through general design reinforcement. By restructuring the top frame of the glass processing, the natural frequency was not formed in the operating speed area with the improved design. The lower-order natural frequency is dominant for the effects that the natural frequency has on the vibration. Therefore, the design improvement in which the lower-order natural frequency is not formed in the operating speed area is an optimum design improvement. It is possible to effectively control the vibrations by avoiding resonance with simple design improvements.
