Chemical processes are highly nonlinear, multivariable systems and have complex structures. However, the controllability evaluation procedures are complicated, and the required information is very often unknown at the early design stage. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a procedure to evaluate and enhance controllability while designing processes and plants. To evaluate controllability in the design stage, it is most efficient to analyze process structure. Relative order can be used as a measure of 'physical closeness' between input and output variable. Structural controllability analysis using relative order is shown to be effective in a case study of heat exchanger network synthesis.

Alum contained dominantly the monomeric aluminum species, and PAC contained the polymeric aluminum species. Both Alum and PAC has been improved removal of TP with increasing coagulant dose. Coagulant used directly influenced the microbial activity. Impact on microbial activity, the PAC was smaller than Alum. And impact on microbial activity and population according to the return sludge appeared to be minor.

본 논문에서는 사다리꼴 형태의 소속 함수를 적용하여 스트레칭 하는 과정에서 상한과 하한을 FCM 기반 양자화 기법을 적용하여 동적으로 조정하는 퍼지 스트레칭 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 퍼지 스트레칭 기법은 FCM 기반 양자화 기법을 적용하여 각 클러스터를 생성하고 생성된 각 클러스터의 중심에 해당되는 명암도를 이용하여 사다리꼴 형태의 소속 함수의 구간을 설정한다. 그리고 설정한 구간 정보를 이용하여 스트레칭을 위한 상한과 하한을 구하여 영상을 스트레칭 한다. 제안된 FCM 양자화 기반 퍼지 스트레칭 기법의 성능을 분석하기 위해서 명암도 분포가 좁고 명암 대비가 낮은 결절종 초음파 영상과 컨테이너 영상을 대상으로 실험하였다. 실험 결과에서도 알 수 있듯이 기존의 히스토그램 스트레칭 기법과 삼각형 형태의 소속 함수를 적용한 퍼지 스트레칭 기법보다 명암 대비가 향상되었다. 결절종 초음파 영상에서는 결절종 영역과 그 외의 영역 간의 명암 대비가 뚜렷하게 나타나서 결절종 추출에 효과적인 것을 확인하였고 컨테이너 영상에서는 컨테이너 데미지를 추출하는데 필요한 컨테이너 굴곡선 등과 같은 특징이 다른 기법들에 비해 선명하게 나타났다.

The effects of antimetabolite 6-aminonicotinamide on levels of soluble proteins, free amino acids and protease activity in various tissues of quail have been in vestigated. The levels of soluble proteins m liver, heart and pectoral muscle were markedly lowered and the specific activity of protease in kidney and pectoral muscle was markedly increased. The concentrations of aspartic acid / asparagine, alanine, valine, methionine, isoleucine, leucine and lysine in the liver were markedly increased. En the kidney the concentrations of aspartic acid I asparagine, arginine, threonine, alanine, proline and lysine were markedly increased but those of glutamic acid I glutamine were decreased. The concentrations of glutamic acid / glutamine and serine in the heart were reduced but those in glycine and methionine were increased. In the pectoral muscle the concentration of arginine was decreased but the concentration of alanine and threonine was increased. The overall results suggest that antimetabolite 6-aminonicotinamide may act to enhance concentrations of amino acids related to the generation of energy and to depress the biosynthesis of some specific amino acids.

This paper presents an instantaneous voltage control scheme of au킹liary power supply system for the electric railway v vehicles, The resonance problem of the LC filter and the existing steady state error are more serious as the use of l instantaneous voltage control techniques for the fast transient response at the nonlinear load, A filter capacitor current f feedback loop is considered to increase the damping ratio of the voltage transfer function for the suppression of the resonance problem of the LC inverter output filter. To eliminate the steady state en‘or existing in case of the AC l instantaneous voltage control. the high gain transfer function is added to the conventional PI controller. The theoretical a analysis is well described with the simulation results. The validity of the proposed schemes is well verified through the s simulation and expelimental results for the 5 kVA prototype.

Recently, as concrete structure becomes high rise and large scaled tendency, demands for high performance concrete such as high strength, high fluidity and high durability has been increased. Even though high performance concrete performs high strength, workability and durability, compared to with those of normal concrete, it is more brittle than normal concrete. Accordingly, this paper is intended to improve toughness and compressive strength through investigating the mechanical properties of the high performance concrete confined with metal lath, glass fiber and carbon fiber laterally in the case of 30% and 40% of W/B. According to the results, the compressive strength increases in order of metal lath, carbon fiber and glass fiber. Considering strain-stress curve with the kinds of material for lateral confinement, while brittleness failure occurs in plain concrete just after maximum load, it is improved in some degree in confined concrete due to increase of the strain by increase of toughness. Elastic modulus increases slightly in case of confined concrete, like the compressing strength.

To operate process plant safely and economically, process monitoring is very important. There are a great number of data acquired through distributed control system and process information system. Fault monitoring is the task with difficulties owing to not only the huge amount of data, but also nonlinearity of chemical processes. In this research, the program, REFA, based on PCA and functional link associative neural network has developed. REFA has better learning capabilities, generalization abilities, and shorter learning time than existing neural network programs. In this work its usefulness has proven by application to Tennessee Eastman process.

The capacity of inclusion complex formation between ${\alpha}$-, ${\beta}$-, ${\gamma}$-cyclodextrins(CDs) and various compounds, such as pH indicators, biloslalns, glycoside, amino acid, and fatty acids, was compared. Fatty acid was identified as the most suitable ligand for fractionation of CDs in terms of capacity and selectivity. The effects of complex formation conditions, such as, mixing ratio of CD and fatty acid, pH, ionic strength, and temperature, on the capacity of fatty acrid-CD complex was also investigated. The carbon number of fatty acids was identified as the most significant factor determining the capacity and selectivity of inclusion complex formation of CDs. Capric acid(C10) and palmitic acid(C16) showed high specificity for ${\alpha}$- and ${\beta}$-CDs, respectively. Under the optimal conditions, the molar ratio of complex formed was found to be 1.0:2.6 for ${\alpha}$-CD/capric acid and 1.0:1.9 for ${\beta}$-CD/palmitic acid. X-ray diffraction and infrared spectrum of the formed inclusion complex were analyzed. The changes of enthalpy($\Delta$H) of the inclusion complex formation reaction was evaluated by differential scanning calorimetry, showed that the reaction was endothermic.

Rat lipoprotein-deficient plasma possessed a lipid tramsfer inhibitory activity when it was added to purified human plasma lipid transfer protien, while it lacked a lipid transfer activity. Incubation of whole rat plasma with partially purified human lipid transfer protein resulted in big changes in lipid distribution of rat plasma lipoproteins. There w was a 4-fold increase in cholesteryl ester(CE) and 4 47 % reduction in triglyceride(TG) in very low density lipoproteins after 2싹lour incubation. In high density lipoprotein $2(HDL_2)$ there was a 9­fold increase in TG and 33 % reduction in CEo HDL3 had 82 % reduction in CE. The result indi­c cates that the absence of the lipid transfer activity in rat plasma can be ascribed not to the inability of rat lipoproteins to serve as substrates but to the lack of 야Ie lipid transfer protein in rat plasma. Th­e erefore, species differences in lipid transfer betwe­e en lipoproteins should be taken into consideration to interpret results of studies on lipoprotein m.eta­b bolism using rats.

In order to improve the photo conversion efficiency (${\eta}$) of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), the electrospun $TiO_2$, $SiO_2$, $ZrO_2$ and $SnO_2$ nanofibers were added into the hydrothermally prepared $TiO_2$ nanoparticles for application to a photoelectrode for DSSCs. The $TiO_2$ nanofiber added photoelectrode exhibited a higher photo current density ($J_{sc}$) compared to the bare $TiO_2$ nanoparticles, which is caused from acceleration of the transfer of excited electron from dye molecule due to the nanofiber structure. The DSSCs with $SiO_2$ nanofibers shows a higher open circuit voltage ($V_{oc}$) of 0.67 V and the highest photo conversion efficiency was found to be 6.24%.
