Currently an increase in domestic sewage and industrial wastewater causes serious water pollution in Korea. To solve water pollution problems, conventional activated sludge (CAS) system is generally used in wastewater treatment plant but this process is so ineffective in nitrogen and phosphorus. Even if CAS system is the major process, it must be improved instantly so as to remove nitrogen and phosphorus. Otherwise, the serious water pollution problems can't be resolved with CAS system. Therefore this study focused on the comparison of the treatment characteristics between ASA system and CAS system. And also the mass balance of each process of ASA system. The results from operating advanced step aeration (ASA) system indicated that the removal efficiency of BOD, COD, and SS was 89.9%, 74.5%, and 89.0% respectively. In comparison, the removal efficiency of BOD, COD, and SS for CAS system was 89.5%, 71.8%, and 89.5% respectively. In addition to the results, the TN removal efficiency of ASA system was 76.5% comparing to 32.7% of CAS system. It was concluded that the TN removal efficiency of ASA system was 44% higher than CAS system. And the TP removal efficiency was 81.4% in ASA system comparing to 25.2% in CAS system. It also means that over 56% of TP was removed in ASA system comparing to CAS system.

외판원 문제(TSP; Traveling Salesman Problem)는 경로탐색 최적화문제로 '풀리지 않는 문제'(NP-complete; None-deterministic Polynomial-time complete)에 속하므로 경유지 수가 많아짐에 따라 급격히 계산시간이 증가한다. 때문에 적용시 정확한 최적해보다는 최적 근사해에 대한 발견적 (heuristic) 알고리즘들을 이용한다. 본 연구는 TSP에 적용되는 발견적 알고리즘으로 개미 시스템알고리즘(ASA; Ant System Algorithm)을 검토하고. 국내 택배시스템에 ASA의 적용가능성을 검토하였다. ASA는 NP-complete 문제를 위한 발견적 알고리즘으로, 1990년대 초 M. Dorigo 등에 의해 연구되어졌다. ASA는 개미들이 이동간에 페로몬이라는 일종의 화학물질을 분비할 때, 이동경로 상에 분비된 페로몬 누적에 따라 확률적 방법으로 경로를 결정하게 된다. 이러한 ASA는 NP-complete문제에서 계산시간이나 최단경로탐색에서 우수한 결과를 얻는 것으로 발표되고 있으며, 교통분야에서 차량경로탐색뿐만 아니라 네트워크 관리 및 도로선형계획 등 그 적용범위가 점차 확대되어지고 있다. 현재 국내 택배시스템에서 차량배차시 명확한 기준이 없으며 주로 담당 운전자의 경험과 판단에 의해 결정된다. 본 연구에서는 국내택배시스템에 ASA의 적용가능성을 검토하였다. 담당 운전자의 경로결정이 가로 10.0km, 세로 10.0km의 범위에서 인접이웃알고리즘(NNA: Nearest Neighbor Algorithm)을 따른다고 가정했을 때와 랜덤한 20개의 경유지를 가질 때, 그리고 경유지 수를 10개씩 증가하여 200개까지 증가할 때를 비교 분석한 결과, ASA이 NNA 보다 우수하였다. ASA을 국내택배시스템에 적용시 운송비용 절감 등의 운영개선을 기대할 수 있으며, 특히 영세한 택배업체에서 보다 저렴하고 우수한 택배시스템을 구축할 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

It is of great importance to decrease sheet break at the size press to enhance the runnability of today's high speed paper machines. To achieve this purpose it is required to control the penetration of the starch solutions at the size press. Use of ASA sizing system provides diverse advantages in improving machine runnability since it allows us to get rapid sizing development at the size press. Domestic paper industries, however, has not enjoyed these benefits of ASA sizing system mainly because of the poor efficiency of domestic corn starches used for ASA emulsification. To improve the emulsion stability and ASA sizing efficiency, it has been pointed out that new cationic starches are needed. In this study two methods of starch modifications, i.e. esterfication of cationic corn starch with OSA (Octenyl Succinic Anhydride), and acid hydrolysis by sulfuric acid were employed as methods to improve ASA sizing efficiency. The effect of these modification was compared with conventional cationic starches.

As a new colon-specific prodrug of 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA), 5-aminosalicyl-glycine (5-ASA-Gly) was prepared by a simple synthetic route in good yield. Apparent partition coefficients of 5-ASA-Gly were lower than those of 5-ASA, which determined in$ CHCl_{3}$/pH 6.8 buffer or n-octanol/pH 6.8 buffer system. Stability of 5-ASA-Gly by peptidases was investigated by incubation of 5-ASA-Gly with the homogenates of tissue and contents of stomach, proximal small intestine or distal small intestine of rats at $37^{\circ}C$. 5-ASA was not detected, indicating that the prodrug was stable in the upper intestine. The amount of 5-ASA liberated from incubation of the prodrug in cecal or colonic contents of rats was about 65% or 27% in 8 hrs, respectively, which indicated that the prodrug activation took place more readily in the rat cecum whose bacterial counts are high like human colon. Results from in vitro experiments suggested 5-ASA-Gly as a promising candidate of a colon-specific prodrug of 5-ASA.

This study investigated the impact of individual differences in motivational reactivity on cognitive effort, memory strength (sensitivity) and decision making (criterion bias) in response to Internet ads with positive and negative content. Individual variation in trait motivational activation was measured using the Motivational Activation Measurement developed by A. Lang and her colleagues (A. Lang, Bradley, Sparks, & Lee, 2007). MAM indexes an individual's tendency to approach pleasant stimuli (ASA, Appetitive System Activation) and avoid unpleasant stimuli (DSA, Defensive System Activation). Results showed that individuals higher in ASA exert more cognitive effort during positive ads than individuals lower in ASA. Individuals higher in DSA exert more cognitive effort during negative ads compared to individuals lower in DSA. ASA did not predict recognition memory. However, individuals higher in DSA recognized ads better than those lower in DSA. The criterion bias data revealed participants higher in ASA had more conservative decision criterion, compared to participants lower in ASA. Individuals higher in DSA also showed more conservative decision criterion compared to individuals lower in DSA. The theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

현대의 고성능 전투기는 공력성능 및 조종성능의 향상을 위하여 대부분 세로축 방향으로 항공기를 불안정하게 설계하는 정안정성 완화 개념을 채택하고 있다. 항공기는 비행제어법칙에 필요한 피치, 롤, 요우각속도, 수직가속도와 같은 항공기 상태정보를 각속도(RSA: Rate Sensor Assembly)와 가속도센서(ASA: Acceleration Sensor Assembly)로부터 획득한다. 항공기에 적용되는 센서는 항공기의 안전을 보장하는 최소한의 허용 가능한 측정 오차를 갖지만, 잡음, 오프셋 등과 같은 허용 범위내의 오차로 인하여 원하지 않는 항공기 운동을 발생시킨다. 비행시험 결과, ASA의 허용 범위내의 측정 오차는 1g 수평비행시에 원하지 않는 기수 숙임 현상을 일으켰다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 오차로 인하여 발생하는 기수 숙임 현상을 개선하기 위해 1g 수평비행 조건에 피치자세각 궤환을 세로축 제어법칙에 적용하였다. 비행시험 결과, 피차자세각 궤환은 1g 수평 비행 시에 기수 숙임현상을 제거하고 항공기의 기본적인 안정성에는 영향을 미치지 않는다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

This Hydrokinetic energy system is the process of extracting energy from rivers, canals and others sources to generate small scale electrical energy for decentralized usage. This study investigates the application of Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) in Geographical Information System (GIS) environment to evaluate the theoretical hydrokinetic energy potentials of selected Rivers (Asa, Awun and Oyun) all in Asa watershed, Kwara state, Nigeria. SWAT was interfaced with an open source GIS system to predict the flow and other hydrological parameters of the sub-basins. The model was calibrated and validated using observed stream flow data. Calibrated flow results were used in conjunction with other parameters to compute the theoretical hydrokinetic energy potentials of the Rivers. Results showed a good correlation between the observed flow and the simulated flow, indicated by ash Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE) and R² of 0.76 and 0.85, respectively for calibration period, and NSE and R² of 0.70 and 0.74, respectively for the validation period. Also, it was observed that highest potential of 154.82 MW was obtained along River Awun while the lowest potential of 41.63 MW was obtained along River Asa. The energy potentials obtained could be harnessed and deployed to the communities around the watershed for their energy needs.

ASA공정은 유입수를 혐기조와 무산소조에 분배하여 유입시킴으로써 반송슬러지에 영양 물질을 공급하여 슬러지의 안정화 및 인 방출을 유도하고, 후속 호기조에서 유기물 제거, 인 과잉섭취 및 질산화를 조장하며, 무산소조에서는 내부반송을 하지 않고 폐수의 탄소원을 이용하여 탈질함으로써 내생탈질을 증가시키는 공법이다. 본 연구에서는 가정오수에 ASA공정을 적용하여 유입수의 분배비와 체류시간이 처리효율에 미치는 영향을 파악하였다. 유입수 분배비와 HRT는 BOD 제거에 큰 영향을 미치지 않았고 BOD 제거율은 운전기간 동안 92.0% 이상 안정적으로 유지되었다. 유입수 분배비가 4:6일 때에는 질소제거율이 82.6%, 9:1일 때에는 인제거율이 67.8%로서 가장 높게 나타났다. ASA공정에 의한 가정오수처리에서 유입수의 분배비는 6:4, HRT는 8hr일 때 제거율이 가장 양호하였으며, 이때 질소, 인제거율은 각각 82.6%와 59.5%이었다.

Defense mechanisms against anthracnose disease caused by Colletotrichum orbiculare on the leaf surface of cucumber plants after pre-treatment with plant growth promoting rhizobacteria(PGPR), amino salicylic acid(ASA) or C. orbiculare were compared using a fluorescence microscope. Induced systemic resistance was mediated by the pre-inoculation in the root system with PGPR strain Bacillus amylolquefaciens EXTN-1 that showed direct antifungal activity to C. gloeosporioides and C. orbiculare. Also, systemic acquired resistance was triggered by the pre-treatments on the bottom leaves with amino salicylic acid or conidial suspension of C. orbiculare. The protection values on the leaves expressing SAR were higher compared to those expressing ISR. After pre-inoculation with PGPR strains no change of the plants was found in phenotype, while necrosis or hypersensitive reaction(HR) was observed on the leaves of plants pre-treated with ASA or the pathogen. After challenge inoculation, inhibition of fungal growth was observed on the leaves expressing both ISR and SAR. HR was frequently observed at the penetration sites of both resistance-expressing leaves. Appressorium formation was dramatically reduced on the leaves of plants pre-treated with ASA, whereas EXTN-1 did not suppress the appressorium formation. ASA also more strongly inhibited the conidial germination than EXTN-1. Conversely, EXTN-1 significantly increased the frequency of callose formation at the penetration sites, but ASA did not. The defense mechanisms induced by C. orbiculare were similar to those by ASA. Based on these results it is suggested that resistance mechanisms on the leaf surface was different between on the cucumber leaves expressing ISR and SAR, resulting in the different protection values.
