$H_2S$ is a detrimental impurity that must be removed for upgrading biogas to biomethane. This study investigates an economic method to mitigate $H_2S$ content, combining scrubbing and aeration. The desulfurization experiments were performed in a laboratory apparatus using EDTA-Fe or landfill leachate as the catalyst and metered mixture of 50-52% (v/v) $CH_4$, 32-33% (v/v) $CO_2$ and 500-1,000 ppmv $H_2S$ balanced by $N_2$ using the C city landfill gas. Dissolved iron concentration in the liquid medium significantly affected the oxidation efficiency of sulfide. Iron components in landfill leachate, which would be available in a biogas/landfill gas utilization facility, was compatible with an external iron chelate. More than 70% of $H_2S$ was removed in a contact time of 9 seconds at iron levels at or over 28 mM. The scrubbing-aeration process would be a feasible and easy-to-operate technology for biogas purification.

The present study investigated the food component characteristics of a bone-softened mackerel Scomber japonicus product (FC-M). The proximate composition of the FC-M was 57.4% moisture, 25.2% crude protein, 14.1% crude lipid, and 2.7% ash. The energy in the FC-M was 241.5 kcal/100 g, which corresponds to 8.9-16.1% of the daily energy intake recommended for Koreans ${\geq}6$ years of age. Regardless of type of taste, there were no significant differences in taste intensity when the FC-M was compared to a control (canned mackerel) but the odor intensity was significantly higher. Although there were no significant differences in hardness, the Hunter color values of redness and yellowness were significantly lower than those of the control. The sensory score for the FC-M was significantly superior to that of the control. The total amino acid content in the FC-M was 24.12 g/100 g and the major amino acids were aspartic acid, glutamic acid, leucine, and histidine. The major fatty acids in the FC-M were 16:0, 18:1n-9, 20:5n-3, and 22:6n-3 and the FC-M was a good source of minerals.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the most commonly used drugs worldwide for chronic pain, such as arthritis, and there are many different types depending on their composition and mechanism. After long-term use, various side effects can occur, such as gastrointestinal and cardiovascular complications. With a similar analgesic effect to that of traditional non-selective NSAIDs, cyclooxygenase-2-selective NSAIDs have been highly anticipated, because they could complement gastrointestinal tolerance. On the other hand, because of concerns about cardiovascular safety in 2004 and 2005, and the license withdrawals of rofecoxib and valdecoxib, the interest in the side effects of NSAIDs is increasing. Therefore, it is important to use the necessary drugs at a minimum, considering the side effects and interactions of each drug. This study examined the side effects and characteristics of each NSAID that may occur and reviewed the recent research and guidelines related to the use of non-selective NSAIDs and cyclooxygenase-2-selective NSAIDs.

This paper proposed a Deep Neural Network Model system utilizing Keras for predicting air pollution risk of the cardiovascular disease through the effect of each component of air on the harmful virus using past air information, with analyzing 18,000 data sets of the Seoul Open Data Plaza. By experiments, the model performed tasks with higher accuracy when using methods of sigmoid, binary_crossentropy, adam, and accuracy through 3 hidden layers with each 8 nodes, resulting in 88.92% accuracy. It is meaningful in that any respiratory disease can utilize the risk prediction system if there are data on the effects of each component of air pollution and fine dust on oil-borne diseases. It can be further developed to provide useful information to companies that produce masks and air purification products.

This study was carried out to find out potential use of ochre as an agent to reduce phosphorus content in water. Ochre is a by-product from treatment of acid mine drainage (AMD) which is composed mostly of $Fe_2O_3$, $Fe_2O_3{\cdot}H_2O$, $FeO{\cdot}OH$ and $Fe(OH)_3$. Three ochre samples (ochre-H, ochre-D and ochre-S) were collected from three treatment facilities in Gangwon province. Physico-chemical characteristics of three ochre samples including pH, electrical conductivity, total phosphorus, available phosphorus, particle size distribution were analyzed. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis were also carried out. In addition, experiments for phosphorus removal from water was performed. Calcium content of ochre-H was higher than that of ochre-D and ochre-S, whereas iron content of ochre-H was lower than that of ochre-D and ochre-S. All the phosphorus in water up to maximum 191,411 mg $kg^{-1}$ per unit mass of ochre was removed with ochre-H. Ochre has immense potential as an agent to reduce phosphorus content in water.
