Solvent extraction is an important process to recover pure gold and silver from various leaching solutions. The present work reviews the aqueous chemistry and solvent extraction separation of gold (I, III) and silver (I) from several leaching systems such as cyanide, thiocyanate, thiosulfate, thiourea and chloride medium. The extraction and separation behavior of gold (I, III) and silver (I) by various single and mixtures was compared on the basis of extraction reaction and the selectivity from these mediums. The chloride medium is recommended for the separation of gold and silver by solvent extraction in terms of extraction and stripping efficiency.

We optimized ultrasound-assisted extraction to improve the extraction efficiency of bioactive compounds from the microalgae Acutodesmus reginae. To optimize this extraction process, we investigated the effects of solvent type, solvent concentration, extraction time, extraction number, and extraction power on the production of lutein, α-carotene, β-carotene, and chlorophylls a, and b. After sequential optimization of these main variables, the maximum amount of each compound was extracted at 30℃ with an ultrasound power of 80 W and using 99.5% methanol. Under these optimum conditions, the amount of lutein, α-carotene, β-carotene, and chlorophylls a, and b, were measured as 10.43, 8.66, 3.76, 15.43, and 6.39 mg/g dry matter respectively.

The competitive solvent extractions of alkali and alkaline earth metals by di-ionizable calix[4]arene nano-baskets were studied using nine conformers of calix[4]arene nano-baskets. The objective of this work is to assess the variation of macrocycle conformation, orientation and position of pendant moieties upon the extraction parameters (efficiency, selectivity and $pH_{1/2}$) of the complexes. The results revealed that alternation of ring conformation in calixarene scaffold affects the solvent extraction parameters towards alkali and alkaline earth metals, while changing the orientation of pendant moieties from ortho- to para- as well as cis- to trans-analogues depicted no changes in those extraction parameters.

Lichen-forming fungal proteins have been seldom searched due to many difficulties in their extraction. Phenols, quinones, proteases, and other components released during cell disruption have been known to be the greatest challenges related to protein extraction from lichens. To overcome these problems and maintain good electrophoretic resolution and high protein concentration, an extraction buffer containing polyvinylpolypyrrolidone, ascorbic acid, Triton X-100, polyethylene glycol, proteinase, and oxidase inhibitors in sodium phosphate buffer was developed. This extraction buffer showed high efficiency for all lichen species tested in the study.

In order to enhance the extraction efficiency of flavonoid from Saururus chinensis, carbohydrate-hydrolyzing enzyme Viscozyme L aided extraction techniques have been studied. Then flavonoid composition, as well as quercetin, were also identified using UV/Vis, HPLC/MS, and ¹H-NMR. The results showed that favorable extraction conditions were Viscozyme L concentration of 0.25 mg/g, pH 4.2, reaction at 45 ℃ for 12 h. Under the favorable extraction condition, total flavonoid yield (37.9 mg/g) and quercetin yield (0.86 mg/g) increased by about 2.0 and 9.6 times, respectively, compared to control group. Interestingly, as a significant flavonoid of S. chinensis, flavonoid glycones rutin was hydrolyzed to aglycones quercetin by Viscozyme L. These findings provide scientific and theoretical support for the development quercetin-rich products, which was quickly absorbed by the human body than rutin.

This study was carried out to develop the methods for efficient extracting and stabilization of anthocyanin pigments in black colored soybean. The optimum solvent concentration for the highest pigment extraction from seed coat of black colored soybean was 60% MeOH with 0.1% HCl in laboratory test. The higher temperature of the solvent until $60^{\circ}C$ led to better extraction efficiency of anthocyanin. The anthocyanin extracts maintained almost its stability in strong acidity area whereas it destroyed markedly over pH 4. Also anthocyanin extracts was stable for a while under weak light condition, but it showed rapid degradation of pigment color and markedly decreased HPLC value for anthocyanin content after one month storage days. In case storage temperature and instrument, glass vessel on low temperature ($4^{\circ}C$) was good storage condition among some treatments. And C3G was more stable than other pigments.

We fabricated the GaNLED emitting 400 nm wavelength and improved the optical extraction efficiency by making surface patterns on n-GaN layer and ITO layer above p-GaN. In addition, the light reflection metal under the n and p pad is made and the light reflection metal is installed on the backside of the chip. The light extraction efficiency is increased by 20 % with texturing n-GaN layer and 18% with texturing ITO layer at 20 mA. Compared to planar-surface LED, the light extraction efficiency for surface texturing both n-GaN and ITO is increased by 32% at 20mA.

In this study, a method for improving the light extraction efficiency of organic light emitting diodes was presented using the polymer Poly(vinylidenefluoride-co-trifluoroethylene) [P(VDF-TrFE)] having an island surface structure after annealing. Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) imprinted on the island-structured P(VDF-TrFE) surface has a spike structure, which improves the external light extraction efficiency aroud 20%. It was confirmed that the produced film showed a low haze characteristic of 8.2, and the Current and external quantum efficiency could be improved without pixel blur due to the excellent transmittance of 93.4%.

The Baermann funnel method requires approximately four Kimwipe tissues for research a nematode count under a stereo microscope. To select more efficient and economical nematode extraction paper for nematode extraction, 15 different kinds of tissue papers were tested and compared with Kimwipe tissues. Nematode species used in the extraction efficiency tests include juvenile (J2) of Heterodera sp., J2 of Meloidogyne sp., Pratylenchus sp., Rhabditis sp., Acrobeloides sp., Panagrolaimus sp., Poikilolaimus sp. and Diplogasterida. The extraction efficiency varied between 42.0 to 88.8%. Considering costs, extraction efficacy, and clarity, the Pulling Kitchen Towel (Monalisa Co., Korea) is the best tissue, with clarity A, isolation efficiency of 69.4% (not significantly different compared to Kimwipe 1 ply 88.8%), and 1/2 costs per isolation of Kimwipe 2 ply.

This paper explores design space of many-core processors for a fire feature extraction algorithm. This paper evaluates the impact of varying the number of cores and memory sizes for the many-core processor and identifies an optimal many-core processor in terms of performance, energy efficiency, and area efficiency. In this study, we utilized 90 samples with dimensions of $256{\times}256$ (60 samples containing fire and 30 samples containing non-fire) for experiments. Experimental results using six different many-core architectures (PEs=16, 64, 256, 1,024, 4,096, and 16,384) and the feature extraction algorithm of fire indicate that the highest area efficiency and energy efficiency are achieved at PEs=1,024 and 4,096, respectively, for all fire/non-fire containing movies. In addition, all the six many-core processors satisfy the real-time requirement of 30 frames-per-second (30 fps) for the algorithm.
