The metal-impregnated activated carbon was produced from bamboo activated carbon by soaking method of metal nitrate solution. The carbonization and activation of raw material was conducted at $900^{\circ}C$. The specific surface area and pore size distribution of the prepared activated carbons were measured. Also, NO and activated carbon reaction were conducted in a thermogravimetric analyzer in order to use as de-NOx agents of used activated carbon. Carbon-NO reactions were carried out with respect to reaction temperature ($20^{\circ}C{\sim}850^{\circ}C$) and NO gas partial pressure (0.1 kPa~1.8 kPa). As results, the specific volume and surface area of bamboo activated carbon impregnated with copper were decreased with increasing Cu amounts of activated carbon. In NO reaction, the reaction rate of Cu impregnated bamboo activated carbon[BA(Cu)] was promoted to compare with that of bamboo activated carbon[BA]. But the reaction rate of Ag impregnated bamboo activated carbon[BA(Ag)] was retarded. Measured reaction orders of NO concentration and activation energy were 0.63[BA], 0.92[BA(Cu)], and 80.5 kJ/mol[BA], 48.5 kJ/mol[BA(Cu)], 66.4 kJ/mol[BA(Ag)], respectively.

Purpose: For optimizing properties of final glasses frame, the aim of this study is to examine the correlation of processing conditions and properties of cellulose acetate (CA) sheets through the investigation of properties of CA sheets prepared under processing steps. Methods: The properties of CA sheets were investigated in terms of different glasses frame processing conditions, bending process, barrel process, and ultrasonic cleaning process. CA sheets prepared through the sequential processing were examined by various analysis: gloss, mechanical properties, thermal properties. Results: After barrel process, hardness and tensile strength of CA sheet were increased. However, bending strength and impact strength were decreased. It is suggested the CA sheet had became rather stiff state (brittle). Also, in degradation temperature region of plasticizer, about 3% of reduction in plasticizer weight was confirmed upon TGA analysis. Conclusions: Glasses frame process, especially in the barrel process have a profound influence on the properties of CA sheet owing to reduction of total amount of plasticizer.

In diverse hydrogeologic fields, estimation of groundwater storage change is one of the most critical issues. Accurate estimation methods for determining groundwater storage change are required more and more. For Yeonyang area of Ulsan Megacity, groundwater storage change was estimated by using water balance method and hydrogeological analyses. The estimates of groundwater storage change was 240 mm corresponding to 18.7% of mean annual precipitation. Direct runoff was calculated as 137 mm (10.6% of mean annual precipitation) by using SCS-CN method. Evapotranspiration based on the Thornthwaite method was calculated as 776 mm (60.5% of mean annual precipitation). Hydraulic properties of the soil types do not show any distinct relation with hydraulic conductivity of the rocks. This fact suggests that hydraulic property on the surface is different from that of subsurface geology. According to multi-linear regression analysis between groundwater storage change and hydraulic parameters, a regression equation of groundwater storage change, which was explained by precipitation and evapotranspiration, was established.

Phylogenetic relationships were investigated in the mushroom genus Agrocybe based on sequence data from the internal transcribed spaces(ITS) of nuclear ribosomal DNA(rDNA). Thirty strains including Agrocybe aegerita, A. grocybe cylindracea, A. grocybe praecox, A. grocybe pediades and Unknown Agrocybe species were subjected for the analysis. The Agrocybe spp. were separated into eight distinct groups. Phylogenetic analysis divided these species into eight groups as follows: A. chaxingu within group I, A. salicacola within group II, A. cylindracea and A. aegerita within group III, Agrocybe sp. within group IV and V, and other Agrocybe spp. were grouped within VI, VII, and VIII.

Phenolic resin has excellent heat resistance and good mechanical properties as a thermosetting resin. However, its thermosetting characteristics cause it to produce a non-recyclable waste in the form of sprue and runner which is discarded and represents up to 15~20% of the overall products. Forty thousand tons of phenolic resin sprue and runner are disposed of (annually). The (annual) cost of such domestic waste disposal is calculated to be 20 billion won. In this study, discarded phenol resin scraps were pulverized and treated by silanes to improve their interfacial adhesion with HDPE. The sizes of the pulverized pulverulent bodies and fine particles were (100um~1000um) and (1~100um), respectively. The pulverized phenol resin was treated with 3-(methacryloyloxy) propyltrimethoxysilane and vinyltrimethoxy silane and the changes in its characteristics were evaluated. The thermal properties were evaluated by DSC and HDT. The mechanical properties were assessed by a notched Izod impact strength tester. When the silane treated phenol resin was added, the heat distortion temperature of HDPE increased from $77^{\circ}C$ to $96^{\circ}C$ and its crystallinity and crystallization temperature also increased. Finally, its impact strength and tensile strength increased by 20% and 50%, respectively, in comparison with the non-treated phenol resin.

Film cooling technique has been applied to effectively reduce thermal load on liquid rocket combustion chambers by direct injection of a portion of propellant, which flows through the regeneratively cooling channels, into the chamber wall. This study developed a comprehensive model to quantitatively predict the effects of kerosene film cooling on propulsive performance and wall cooling at supercritical pressure conditions, and assessed the predictive capability against hot-firing tests of an actual combustor. The present model is expected to be utilized as a design and analysis tool to meet the conflicting requirements in terms of performance, cooling, pressure loss and weight.

Fuller's earth deposits from Miocene sedimentary sequences in Gyeong Sang-do contain up to 95% Ca-montmorillonite accompanied by cristobalite, clinoptilolite, mordenite, quartz, feldspar and X-ray amorphous material. Differential thermal analysis, infrared and electron microscopic data are given for the montmorillonite component. The ease with which the exchangeable calcium of the montmorillonite could be replaced by sodium (to give a product with properties similar to that of a bentonite) was monitored by the Atterberg liquid limit test. Some samples tested as possible binders for foundry moulding sands gave results that compared favourably with material currently being used for this application. Many of the samples also met the OCMA specifications for clays used in drilling muds.

Pultrusion process of phenolic foam composite is investigated. Phenolic foam composites provide heat and flame resistance with less weight. When made into foam, a variety of properties can be obtained with different bubble size and number density. In this study, effect of process variables on the foaming characteristics of phenolic resin composites during pultrusion process has been studied experimentally. The process variables considered are the heating temperature and the pulling speed as well as the mass fraction of blowing agent. Experiments were performed using a laboratory scale pultrusion apparatus. Optimal process condition was found by observing the micro-morphology.

To improve the thermal and mechanical properties of homo poly(L-lactic acid), DL-mandelic acid, one of the natural $\alpha$-hydroxy acid with aromatic ring as the side-chain residue was used as the comonomer. Copolymers with different contents of mandelic acid were prepared and characterized. The resulting copolymers were mostly amorphous. As the amount of mandelic acid in the monomer feed increased, the molecular weight of the resulting polymers tended to decrease linearly. T$_{g}$ and T$_{d}$ of the copolymer, however, were found to shift toward higher temperature, suggesting the improved thermal stability by increasing content of mandelic acid moiety. Tensile measurements of cast films showed somewhat improved values in the copolymers with mandelic acid content of 5 and 10 wt%.%.%.

In this paper, we propose an efficient dynamic workload balancing strategy which improves the performance of high-performance computing system. The key idea of this dynamic workload balancing strategy is to minimize execution time of each job and to maximize the system throughput by effectively using system resource such as CPU, memory. Also, this strategy dynamically allocates job by considering demanded memory size of executing job and workload status of each node. If an overload node occurs due to allocated job, the proposed scheme migrates job, executing in overload nodes, to another free nodes and reduces the waiting time and execution time of job by balancing workload of each node. Through simulation, we show that the proposed dynamic workload balancing strategy based on CPU, memory improves the performance of high-performance computing system compared to previous strategies.
