The methyl red stock solution was added to sample solution and the absorbance values of this solution were measured at the maximum absorption wavelengths of the acidic form, the basic form, and the isosbestic point of the indicator. From the measurements of absorbance, the pH of this solution was calculated. The range of absorbance at the isosbestic point was maintained within 0.1 ${\sim}$ 0.3. The error of pH measurement was within ${\pm}0.08$ pH unit in the pH range of sample solution of $pK_I{\pm}1$.

Spot-welding is widely used to construct passenger car bodies in automotive industry. Occasionally severe spot-weld distortions in sub-assembly make further spot-weld difficult. In this paper, distortions for various spot-weld conditions are measured using coordinate measuring machine. Then, based on finite element solution for unit translation or unit rotation of nugget edge, equivalent loads for spot-weld distortions are determined. They can be used to predict the spot-weld distortion using finite element method.

Integration of CAM and CAM information is important in the CIM era. For a CIM system, the feature representation can be a solution to the integration of product model data. These are geometry feature, functional feature, and manufacturing feature in the feature context. This paper proposes a framework to integrate the configuration design method, parametric modeling and the feature modeling method. The concept of design unit which is one level higher than functional feature and parametric modeling concept with functional features have been proposed.

Invisible charged clusters are suggested to form in the gas phase and to become the growth unit in the thin film process. Similar suggestion had been made by Glasner el al. in the crystal growth of KBr and KCL in the solution where the lead ions were added. The charged cluster model, which was suggested in the diamond CVD process by our group, will be extended to the other thin film processes. It will be shown based on both the theoretical analysis and the experimental evidences that the charged clusters are formed in the gas phase and become the growth unit of the crystal in the thin film process.

Gaegurin 4 is an antimicrobial peptide found in the skin of a Korean frog, Rana rugosa, known for its "wound-healing" effect for years. This 37-residue basic peptide binds to cell membranes and forms ion channels like other antimicrobial peptides but does not exhibit hemolytic activity.(omitted)

An effective methodology is .reported for determining the optimal capacity (lot-size) of batch processing and storage networks which include material recycle or reprocessing streams. We assume that any given storage unit can store one material type which can be purchased from suppliers, be internally produced, internally consumed and/or sold to customers. We further assume that a storage unit is connected to all processing stages that use or produce the material to which that storage unit is dedicated. Each processing stage transforms a set of feedstock materials or intermediates into a set of products with constant conversion factors. The objective for optimization is to minimize the total cost composed of raw material procurement, setup and inventory holding costs as well as the capital costs of processing stages and storage units. A novel production and inventory analysis formulation, the PSW(Periodic Square Wave) model, provides useful expressions for the upper/lower bounds and average level of the storage inventory hold-up. The expressions for the Kuhn-Tucker conditions of the optimization problem can be reduced to two subproblems. The first yields analytical solutions for determining batch sizes while the second is a separable concave minimization network flow subproblem whose solution yields the average material flow rates through the networks. For the special case in which the number of storage is equal to the number of process stages and raw materials storage units, a complete analytical solution for average flow rates can be derived. The analytical solution for the multistage, strictly sequential batch-storage network case can also be obtained via this approach. The principal contribution of this study is thus the generalization and the extension to non-sequential networks with recycle streams. An illustrative example is presented to demonstrate the results obtainable using this approach.

The objective of this study was to estimate the amount of nutrient and water taken up at different growth stages by cucumber (Cucumis sativus L. cv. Eunsung Backdadagi) grown in a closed substrate culture system. The amount of nutrient solution absorbed increased in proportion to days from planting at the first stage of growth and depended on the level of radiation after the mid stage of growth. After the mid growth stage, the amount of nutrient solution absorption was maintained at 80-100 mg.MJ$^{-1}$ . Total amount of absorbed inorganic ions except S increased since the nutrient solution absorption increased with the level of radiation, although the absorption rate of each inorganic ion declined. A highly significant correlation ($R^2$>0.9) was found between amount of inorganic ions absorbed and days after planting, LAI, total dry weight and leaf dry weight, but not with CGR. Correlation coefficient between days after planting and the amount of nutrient solution absorbed per unit radiation level was 0.92. Correlation coefficient between leaf area an the amount of nutrient solution absorbed per unit radiation level was 0.97. Regression of the amount of nutrient solution absorbed per unit radiation level and nutrient ions uptake showed a high significance ($R^2$>0.9).

In an aluminum-air unit cell used alkaline solution, Hydrogen evolution rates were investigated far the observation of the effects of alloy element, inhibitor and its concentration in electrolyte, KOH concentration, solution temperature, and current density loaded to cell. Hydrogen evolution rates were reduced up to $50\%$ by saturating the solution with ZnO, while ZnAc(Zinc Acetate) did not work as inhibitor. The inhibition effect of ZnO increased with increasing the KOH concentration and solution temperature. They were linearly increased with the KOH concentration and current density in first order and exponentially increased with the solution temperature.

The bitterness of brewers yeast slurry decreased by washing with mild caustic soda solution followed by washing with 0.85% (w/v) NaCl solution The higher concentration of caustic soda was, the lower the bitterness unit(BU) of washed yeast slurry was. The lethal rate of yeast cells increased. When the concentration of caustic soda solution increased from 0.05%(w/v) to 0.25%(w/v), the BU of brewers yeast slurry was decreased from 45 to 3, but yeast cells viability decreased from 93% to 0%. The optimum washing conditions of brewers yeast slurry were as follows: the concentration of caustic soda solution was $0.07{\sim}0.1%$(w/v) and the contact time of brewers yeast slurry with caustic soda was $10{\sim}20$ minutes. The similar washing effect was obtained when the brewers yeast slurry was washed with 20%(v/v) ethanol solution.

This paper deals with design problem of unit load automated storage/retrieval systems (AS/RS). We propose an optimal design model in which the investment and maintenance costs of AS/RS, operating under dual command model is minimized over a time horizon satisfying the warehouse dimensional constraints. The model is formulated as an integer nonlinear program and an algorithm is proposed to find an optimum solution. The valididty of the solution algorithm is illustrated through an example.
