Crash test data from different impact modes and threshold speeds were used to assess the effects of impact conditions on air bag electronic single point sensing (ESPS) activation requirements. The requirements are expressed in terms of the desired sensor activation time based on unbelted driver dummy kinematics. A crash discriminator pre-displacement is introduced to crash recognition algorithm to the ESPS. The new crash recognition algorithm named Velocity Energy Pre-displacement(VEPD) method is developed and the ESPS algorithm based on the VEPD technique is used to assess the ESPS system performance. It is shown that VEPD method correlates very well with desired sensor activation time and meets the activation requirement.

This paper describes the construction of an anisotropic three dimensional ventricular model based on the bidomain model. The cardiac activation process in the normal cardiac cell and the myocardial ischemic cell are simulated by the Huygen's principle. The depolarization process in the myocardial ischemia displays the delayed activation compared to the normal state. The repolarization process is simulated by the myocardial potential at the arbitrary ellapsed time after activation process. Using the potential data, the equivalent cardiac source at the arbitrary time can be computed. In conclusion, this simulation suggests the possibilities of the depolarization and the repolarization process in the normal and abnormal myocardiac cells.

Various theoretical studies of σ-bond activation of organic molecules by transition metal complexes arereviewed. In the homolytic σ-bond activation, the d orbital energy level of the central metal is an importantfactor, as well known. At the same time, the electron-withdrawing substituent which stabilizes the sp3 orbitalaccelerates the homolytic σ-bond activation. In the heterolytic C-H σ-bond activation of RH by $MXL_n$, the XHbond formation is an important driving force, where $MRL_n$ and HX are formed as products. The heterolytic σ-bond activation is also understood in terms of the electrophilic attack of the metal center to the substrate.

These study was carried out to investigate the effects of the collection time, culture time and activation of canine oocytes on in vitro maturation rates. The activated oocytes were cultured in 10% FCS+TCM-199 media containing hormonal supplements (10 IU/ml HCG, 10 IU/ml PMSG, 10 ug/ml gonadotropin) at 5% $CO_2$, 95% air, $38^{\circ}C$. 1. IVM rate of in vitro cultured cumulus-attached oocytes recovered from ovaries that collected at follicular and luteal stages of the reproductive cycles were 11.4% and 5.7%, respectively. IVM rate of oocytes recovered from ovaries that collected at follicular stages of the reproductive cycles was significantly higher than that of luteal stage (p<0.05). 2. When IVM was carried out at different periods of 40, 48, and 70 hrs, the IVM rates of oocytes matured in vitro were 2.9%, 8.6%, 5.7%, respectively. These results indicate that the IVM time between $48{\sim}70$ hrs gives the highest maturation rate for the oocytes matured at the different stages. 3. IVM rate of oocytes matured in vitro for 10 hrs after single and combined activation treatment by ET, IP and CH and Ca+DMAP, CH+DMAP, ET+CH were $11.5{\pm}1.2%,\;10.8{\pm}1.0%,\;9.6{\pm}1.2%\;and\;12.4{\pm}1.5%,\;11.8{\pm}1.5%,\;11.2{\pm}1.4%$ respectively. This was higher than that in both single and combined stimulated groups compared to control group ($6.2{\sim}7.2%$).

The spin-lattice relaxation time, $T_1$, for $^{69}Ga$, $^{71}Ga$, and $^{75}As$ nuclei in GaAs:$Mn^{2+}$ single crystals was measured as a function of temperature. The values of $T_1$ for $^{69}Ga$, $^{71}Ga$, and $^{75}As$ nuclei were found to decrease with increasing temperature. The $T_1$ values in GaAs:$Mn^{2+}$ crystal are similar to those in pure GaAs crystal. The calculated activation energies for the $^{69}Ga$, $^{71}Ga$, and $^{75}As$ nuclei are 4.34, 4.07, and 3.99 kJ/mol. It turns out that the paramagnetic impurity effect of $Mn^{2+}$ ion doped in GaAs single crystal was not strong on the spin-lattice relaxation time.

The compressive strength of concrete is greatly affected by the temperature inside the concrete at the initial age immediately after pouring. The apparent activation energy of cement and the setting time of concrete are major factors influencing the development of compressive strength of concrete. This study measured the apparent activation energy and setting time according to the change in W/B for each mixing rate of Ground Granulated Blast-Furnace Slag (GGBFS). And after calculating the compressive strength prediction model, the accuracy of the prediction model was evaluated by comparing the predicted compressive strength and the compressive strength.

This study evaluates heavy metal(Cu and Cr) adsorption characteristics produced from food waste charcoal extracted in an optimal operation condition after analyzing activated charcoal of iodine adsorption and heavy metals that derived from an activation process of carbide by the developed by-products of food waste treatment facility using the methods from previous studies. As experiment apparatus, this study used a tube-shaped high temp furnace. The mixing ratio of by-products of food waste treatment facility, carbide, and activation component($ZnCl_2$) was 1:1. The experiment was proceeded as adjusting the activation temperature from 400 to $800^{\circ}C$ and activation time from 30 to 120 minutes. The optimal activation condition for iodine absorption was 90 minutes at $700^{\circ}C$ and by using the produced food waste charcoal, this study conducted an experiment on absorption of heavy metals (Cu and Cr) as changing pH of artificial wastewater and stirring time. As a result, pH 7 showed the highest heavy metal decontamination ratio and in terms of stirring time, it revealed balance adsorption after 10 minutes. This result can be particularly applied as basic data for recyclability of high concentration organic waste, by-products of food waste treatment facility, as an food waste charcoal.

The production of functional activated carbon materials starting from inexpensive natural precursors using environmentally friendly and economically effective processes has attracted much attention in the areas of material science and technology. In particular, the use of plant biomass to produce functional carbonaceous materials has attracted a great deal of attention in various aspects. In this study the preparation of activated carbon has been attempted from rice husks via a chemical activation-assisted microwave system. The rice husks were milled via attrition milling with aluminum balls, and then carbonized under purified $N_2$. The operational parameters including the activation agents, chemical impregnation weight ratio of the calcined rice husk to KOH (1:1, 1:2 and 1:4), microwave power heating within irradiation time (3-5 min), and the second activation process on the adsorption capability were investigated. Experimental results were investigated using XRD, FT-IR, and SEM. It was found that the BET surface area of activated carbons irrespective of the activation agent resulted in surface area. The activated carbons prepared by microwave heating with an activation process have higher surface area and larger average pore size than those prepared by activation without microwave heating when the ratio with KOH solution was the same. The activation time using microwave heating and the chemical impregnation ratio with KOH solution were varied to determine the optimal method for obtaining high surface area activated carbon (1505 $m^2$/g).

When concrete is exposed to neutron rays for a long time, the concrete tends to become activated. If activated, it is classified as middle or low level radioactive waste. However, the great amount of the activated concrete is hard to dispose. In this study, low-activation cement was developed for decreasing the activated waste from shielding concrete around nuclear reactor. Furthermore, the manufactured low-activation was analyzed with activation nuclide Eu, Co. The low-activation cement showed great advantage for low-activation with detecting none of Eu and 3.75ppm of Co while ordinary portland cement showed 0.4~0.9ppm of Eu, 5.5~19.8ppm of Co content. As the results of physical properties of the low-activation cement, it is similar to type 1 ordinary portland cement and accords with type 4 low heat portland cement. Meanwhile, as for the chemical properties of the cement, it accords wite type 1 and 4 at the same time.
