  • Aristolochic acid has been known to be a carcinogenic compound and to cause Chinese herbs nephrophathy(CHN). To determine the content of aristolochic acid in various medicinal herbs marketed domestically, samples of Aristolochia fangchi, Aristolochia fructus, Aristolochia radix, Asiasari radix, Saussureae radix, and Akebia caulis were analyzed using TLC and HPLC. The optimal conditions for TLC and HPLC using $C_{18}$ column were established for the quantitative analysis of aristolochic acid. This study showed that Aristolochia fangchi and Aristolochia fructus examined in this study contain aristolochic acid of 3.9 and 2.3 mg/g sample, respectively. In contrast, aristolochic acid was not detected in the other samples.

  • The chemical compositions and pyrolysis characteristics of oil shales and source rocks distributed in the southwestern and southeastern parts of the Korean peninsular have been investigated. In order to compare the results of Korean samples with those of shales giving high oil yields, two Colorado oil shale samples and one Paris source rock samples were also investigated. Chemical compositions of the samples were analysed by means of gravimetry, CHN analysis, X-ray diffraction method, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry and atomic absorption spectrometry. A custom made pyrolyser and a Rock-Eval system were used for the pyrolysis studies. Pyrolyses of the samples were carried out by means of a temperature controlling device to $600^{\circ}C$ at a heating rate of $5^{\circ}C/min$ with a helium flow rate of $1200m{\ell}/min$. The results of pyrolysis study indicated that Colorado shale samples belong to type I and all the other samples belong to type II.

  • A glass-like carbon was fabricated using furan resin. The influence of heat treatment temperature during fabrication process on the chemical and micro-structural changes was studied by various analytical and spectroscopic methods including TGA, FT-IR, CHN, TEM and XRD. The chemical resistance properties of the fabricated glass-like carbon were also investigated. It has been found that the heat-treated samples at higher temperature up to 2600 $^{\circ}C$ in $N_2$ atmosphere had little weight loss, small amounts of functional groups, and high carbon content. The fabricated glass-like carbons upon heat treatment at 2600 $^{\circ}C$ showed an amorphous stage without any grain growth and/or reconstruction of structure. The glass-like carbon had much better chemical resistance than the artificial graphite, and exhibited a high chemical resistance due to its low surface areas, minimum impurities, and low graphite crystallites.

  • The reaction of $LnCl_3{\cdot}7H_2O$ [Ln = La (1), Ce (2)] with salicylic acid (HL) and 1,10-phenanthroline (Phen) at $20^{\circ}C$ in $H_2O$/ethanol gave after work-up and recrystallization two novel lanthanide complexes with general formula $[Ln(Phen)_2(L)_3(HL)]{\cdot}H_2O$. Compounds 1 and 2 were characterized by IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy, TGA, CHN as well as by X-ray analysis. According to these results, compounds 1 and 2 are isostructural and contain $Ln^{3+}$ ions with coordination number nine. Complexes 1 and 2 consist of two Phen, one neutral HL and three L anions (two L anions act as monodentate ligands and the third one is chelating to $Ln^{3+}$). Thermal decomposition led to primary loss of the Phen molecules. Then HL molecules and finally L moieties left the material to give $Ln_2O_3$.

  • Pedestrian detection is a very important and valuable part of artificial intelligence and computer vision. It can be used in various areas for example automatic drive, video analysis and others. Many works have been done for the pedestrian detection. The accuracy of pedestrian detection on multiple pedestrian image has reached high level. It is not easily get more progress now. This paper proposes a new structure based on the idea of HOG and convolutional filters to do the pedestrian detection in single pedestrian image. It can be a method to increase the accuracy depend on the high accuracy in single pedestrian detection. In this paper, we use Multiblock HOG and magnitude of the pixel as the feature and use convolutional filter to do the to extract the feature. And then use NEWFM to be the classifier for training and testing. We use single pedestrian image of the INRIA data set as the data set. The result shows that the Convolutional Multiblock HOG we proposed get better performance which is 0.015 miss rate at 10-4 false positive than the other detection methods for example HOGLBP which is 0.03 miss rate and ChnFtrs which is 0.075 miss rate.

  • As part of our attempt to discover novel active compounds against multi-drug resistant pathogens, we hereby report two new complexes of iron(III) with formulae: [Fe(L1)2(H2O)2]Cl3 and [Fe(L1)2(L2)(H2O)]Cl2 where L1 = 1,10-phenanthroline (C12H8N2) and L2 = guanide (C5H4N5O-). The synthesized complexes were characterized using spectroscopic analysis (ESI-MS, ICP-OES, FT-IR, and UV-Vis), cyclic voltammetry, CHN analysis, gravimetric chloride determination, melting point determination, and conductance measurement. Octahedral geometries are assigned to both complexes. In vitro antibacterial activity was tested on two Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus epidermidis) and two Gram-negative (Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae) bacteria using the disc diffusion method. The complexes demonstrated appreciable activity against these pathogens. Interestingly, the [Fe(L1)2(L2)(H2O)]Cl2 complex manifested a higher degree of inhibition against the drug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria than the commercially available drug, namely erythromycin.

  • Country-specific data for net calorific values and carbon emission factors requires for a higher tier estimate of greenhouse gas emissions in the energy sector. The objective of this study is to develop country-specific net calorific values and carbon emission factors for petroleum energy produced in Korea. Calorific values and carbon contents of the fuels were measured using the oxygen bomb calorimeter method and the CHN elemental analysis method, respectively. Sulfur and hydrogen contents, which were used to calculate the net calorific value, were also measured and then net calorific values and carbon emission factors were determined based on the measurement results. The net calorific values and carbon emission factors determined for the petroleum produced in Korea 2012 and 2013 were compared to those in the 2006 IPCC Guidelines. Most of the values were different compared with the default values of the 2006 IPCC Guidelines although those were placed within their upper and lower limits. Time series analysis results showed inconsistent seasonal variation for the net calorific values and carbon emission factors.

  • Separation technology combining adsorption and membrane is expected to be applied in many fields such as water treatment. In this fusion technique, a functional carbon membrane having a carbon whisker grown on the surface of the membrane was developed to inhibit membrane fouling, which is a problem in the membrane separation process. In this study, to elucidate the mechanism of manufacturing the functional carbon membrane, the membrane was pretreated with the polymer latex of each mixing ratio and the membrane was formed by the CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) method. The membrane was analyzed by scanning electron microscope (SEM), CHN analyzer (Elemental Analyzer), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). As a result, the diameter and density of carbon whiskers were higher in case of polyvinyl di-chloride (PVdC): polyvinyl chloride (PVC) = 4.5: 55. It seems possible to control the diameter and density of the carbon whiskers according to the hydrogen content of the polymer latex.

  • The effect of addition of the probiotic Bifidobacterium longum KACC 91563 on the chemical and sensory properties of Kwark cheese produced using CHN-11 as a cheese starter were investigated. The addition of B. longum KACC 91563 to Kwark cheese did not change the composition or pH value of the cheese, compared with control. B. longum KACC 91563 survived at a level of 7.58 Log CFU/g and did not have any negative effect on survival of the cheese starter. A sensory panel commented that the addition of B. longum KACC 91563 made Kwark cheese more desirable to consumers, and that the probiotic supplementation had no effect on perceived taste. Thus, B. longum KACC 91563 can be used for inclusion of probiotic bacteria in cheese.
