This experiment was carried out to investigate the lectin of soybean (Glycine max L.) seed. Purification was done by 50-80% ammonium sulfate precipitation, CM-cellulose and Sephadex G-100 column. The purity was ascertained by electrophoresis. The molecular weight of purified lectin was estimated as 132,000. It was composed of three subunits which molecular weight was 45,000. The lectin was identified as glycoprotein by Schiff's reagent staining and Dubois method. The lectin agglutinated erythrocytes of rabbit and human. The amounts of the lectin to agglutinate human erythrocytes differed among the blood types: The blood type A required the least amount, the next was B, O, and AB in order. The agglutination was specifically inhibited by 5${\mu}$g/ml of N -acetyl.-D-galactoseamine and 200${\mu}$g/ml of D-galactose. Other tested sugars could not inhibit the agglutination of the erythrocytes by the lectin.

The objective of this study was to design an optimal electro-remediation system for TCE contaminated water using zero talent iron (ZVI) and direct current (DC). A series of column experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of electrode arrangement and the location of permeable iron barrier in the column on the TCE removal efficiency and iron corrosion process. In twelve different combinations of ZVI and/or DC application in the test columns, the rate of reductive degradation of TCE was improved with simultaneous application of both ZVI and DC compared to that used ZVI only. The moot effective arrangement of electrode and ZVI for TCE removal from water was a column set with ZVI and cathode installed at the down gradient, respectively.

A new method has been proposed and developed that solves the problem of decreasing electroosmotic flow rate by excess $H^{+}$ and precipitation of heavy metal by $OH^{-}$. An electrolytic solution was circulated between the anode and cathode compartments that enabled the pH at the anode and cathode to be controlled. The change of the soil pH by circulation systems affects the operation time, by lowering the rate of increase of the electric potential gradient, and the removal efficiency of heavy metals, by affecting the soil pH. Since there was no effluent from the cathode compartment in circulation system, there was no need to treat the wastewater after the experiment, which resulted in the reduction of influent electrolyte volume.

This research focused on designing an appropriate thermocouple sensor for a thermal boundary layer with a large temperature gradient. It was designed to minimize the conduction error from a constant temperature wall in a boundary layer. A $79.9-{\mu}m$ thermocouple was chosen, and a five-axis device jig was developed to fabricate a butt-welded thermocouple, which is different from arc-welded junction thermocouples. This was used to minimize the size of the thermocouple junction. In addition to fabricating butt-welded thermocouples, a thorough calibration was conducted to decrease the internal error of a multimeter to ensure that the data from the butt-welded and regular thermocouples were almost the same. Based on this method, a butt-welded thermocouple with a small junction was found to be suitable for measuring the temperature in a thermal boundary layer with very large thermal gradients. Using this thermal boundary layer probe, the thermal boundary layers in a turbine cascade were measured, and the Nusselt numbers were obtained for the turbine endwall.

A total of 6 stepwise constructions were made for building the floating mass concrete foundation. The optimal curing strategies and specialized construction guidelines were adoptively extracted from the 1.5m cube mock-up test prior to the main concrete work. Two different thermal crack index(TCI) calculations from current construction manual exhibit relatively low values as comparing the measured temperature data. This implies that the hydration-induced cracking could be developed in parts of concrete mass. However, the controversial phenomenons in reality were observed. No significant surface cracks are detected at the successive construction stages. Thereby, this paper raises the question regarding on the existence of characteristic length with varying size and shape of a target specimen which are missing in the current construction manual. The isothermal core area and high thermal gradient area in the edge volume should be identified and be introduced to TCI calculation for the purpose of an accuracy.

In addition to identifying genetic differences between target populations, it is also important to determine the impact of genetic differences with regard to the respective target populations. In recent years, there has been an increasing number of cases where this approach is needed, and thus various statistical methods must be considered. In this study, genetic data from populations of Southeast and Southwest Asia were collected, and several statistical approaches were evaluated on the Y-chromosome short tandem repeat data. In order to develop a more accurate and practical classification model, we applied gradient boosting and ensemble techniques. To infer between the Southeast and Southwest Asian populations, the overall performance of the classification models was better than that of the decision trees and regression models used in the past. In conclusion, this study suggests that additional statistical approaches, such as data mining techniques, could provide more useful interpretations for forensic analyses. These trials are expected to be the basis for further studies extending from target regions to the entire continent of Asia as well as the use of additional genes such as mitochondrial genes.

In this paper, we consider a constant modulus (CM) based blind adaptive receiver design for downlink multi-carrier code-division multiple access (MC-CDMA) systems employing simple space-time block coding (STBC). In the paper, filter weight vectors used for the detection of the transmitted symbols are partitioned into its subvectors and then, special relations among the optimal subvectors minimizing the CM metric are derived. Using the special relations, we present a modified CM metric and propose a new blind adaptive stochastic-gradient CM algorithm (SG-CMA) by minimizing the modified CM metric. The proposed blind adaptive SG-CMA has faster convergence rate than the conventional SG-CMA because the filter weight vectors of the proposed scheme are updated in the region of satisfying the derived special relations. Computer simulation results are given to verify the superiority of the proposed SG-CMA.

상수관망시스템은 공급원으로부터 수요처까지의 용수공급을 위해 구축된 관수로 기반의 사회기반시설물로서, 주로 생활 및 산업 용수를 공급하므로 대규모 사회 경제적 피해를 방지하기 위해서는 안정적인 용수공급 능력이 요구된다. 네트워크의 다양한 특성에 의해 표현되는 상수관망시스템의 신뢰도(reliability)는 크게 시스템 내 구성요소의 안정성(mechanical reliability)과 용수공급의 기능적 안정성(hydraulic reliability)으로 구분할 수 있다. 특히, 시스템의 용수공급 안정성에 주목한 수리학적 신뢰도 연구는 많은 연구자들에 의해 지속적으로 수행된 바 있으며, 다양한 평가방법 및 지표들이 제시되어 활용 중에 있다. 기존의 수리학적 신뢰도 지표들은 주로 수요절점(demand node)에서의 공급가능 수량 및 수압을 바탕으로 산정되었다. 그러나, 절점(node)에서의 공급 상태는 결과에 해당하며, 원인 분석을 위해서는 관로(pipe)의 배치 및 규격을 분석해야 하는 번거로움이 존재한다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해, 본 연구에서는 직접 관로(pipe)의 공급 특성을 분석하여 네트워크의 신뢰도를 평가함으로써, 신뢰도 저하의 원인 분석 및 시스템 개선에 효율적으로 활용할 수 있는 신뢰도 지표를 산정하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 상수관로 내 수리학적 기울기가 전반적으로 균등할수록 설계 비용대비 공급 신뢰도, 즉 용수공급 효율이 개선되는 특징을 바탕으로, 네트워크 내 총 에너지 손실로부터 각 관로의 길이, 유량 등의 특성을 고려한 등가 수리경사(Equivalent hydraulic gradient)를 유도하여 모든 관로의 적정 수리경사로 제안하였다. 따라서 각 관로의 실제 수리경사를 대상으로 관로별 수리학적 균등성 지수(pipe hydraulic uniformity index)를 산정하였으며, 더 나아가 전체 시스템의 균등성 지수(system hydraulic uniformity index)를 산정하였다. 제안된 신뢰도 지표는 가상의 네트워크에서 지역 내 용수 사용량이 증가하는 등 용수공급 안정성을 저해하는 몇 가지 시나리오를 바탕으로 검증하였으며, 또한 기존 지표들의 신뢰도 평가 결과와 비교, 분석하였다. 본 연구는 향후 네트워크 최적 설계의 목적함수로 활용하거나, 네트워크의 보강계획 수립에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

We investigated the magnetic properties of Fe nanostripes by using the all electron full-potenial linearized augmented plane-wave (FLAPW) energy band method within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The magnetic moments of the Fe atoms in the edge Fe chains of the stripes composed of three, five, and seven chains have saturated values of 2.97 or 2.98 ${\mu}_B$, and the values of the center chains are 2.82 ${\mu}_B$ which is similar to that of 2D square lattice. The charge and spin density contour plots showed that the flat distribution in the edge region of the stripes, and it is due to the spilled out p-electrons from the atoms in the edge line. The calculated density of states for the edge atoms in the stripes with seven Fe chains showed that the narrowed width compared to that of center atoms due to the band narrowing effect at the edge.
