  • The paper discusses the use of stable emulsion, prepared by membrane emulsification technology, to improve the enantiocatalytic performance of immobilised lipase in multiphasic membrane reactors. The production of optical pure (S)-naproxen from racemic naproxen methyl ester has been used as model reaction system. The enzyme was immobilised in the sponge layer (shell side) of capillary polyamide membrane with 50 kDa cut-off, The O/W emulsion, containing the substrate in the organic dispersed phase, was fed to the enzyme membrane reactor from shell-to-lumen. The results evidenced that lipase maintained stable activity during all the operation time (more than 250 hours), showing an enantiomeric excess (96 $\pm$2%) comparable to the free enzyme (98 $\pm$ 1%) and much higher compared to similar lipase-loaded membrane reactors used in two-separate phase systems (90%). The study showed that immobilised enzymes can achieve high stability as well as high catalytic activity and enantioselectivity.

  • Non-reference P frame coding is used to enhance coding efficiency in low-delay encoding configuration of Internet Video Coding (IVC), which is being standardized as a royalty-free video codec in MPEG. The existing method of non-reference P frame coding which was adopted in the reference Test Model of IVC (ITM) 4.0 adaptively applies a non-reference P frame with a fixed coding structure based on the magnitude of motion vectors (MVs), however, which unexpectedly degrades the coding efficiency for some sequences. In this paper, the existing non-reference P frame coding is improved by changing non-reference P frame coding structure and applying a new adaptive method using the ratio of the amount of generated bits of non-reference frames to that of reference frames as well as MVs. Experimental results show that the proposed non-reference P frame coding gives 6.6% BD-rate bit saving in average over ITM 7.0.

  • Methane steam reforming (MSR) reaction for hydrogen production was studied in a membrane reactor (MR) using two tubular membranes, one Pd-based and one of porous alumina. A higher methane conversion than the thermodynamic equilibrium for a traditional reactor (TR) was achieved using MRs. The experimental temperature range was 350-500$^{\circ}C$; no sweep-gas was employed during reaction tests to avoid its back-permeation through the membrane and the steam/methane molar feed ratio (m) varied in the range 3.5-5.9. The best results (the difference between the MR conversion and the thermodynamic equilibrium was of about 7%) were achieved with the alumina membrane, working with the highest steam/methane ratio and at 450$^{\circ}C$. Silica membranes prepared at KRICT laboratories were characterized with permeation tests on single gases (N$_2$, H$_2$ and CH$_4$). These membranes are suited for H$_2$ separation at high temperature.

  • This study was designed to evaluate the influence of a single or double dose of Fe dextran with organic trace mineral supplementation on the performance of piglets from dams fed diets with either inorganic (ITM) or organic trace minerals (OTM). It also determined the effect of the source of the trace minerals on the reproductive performance of sows. The trace mineral premixes were prepared using metal proteinates and the corresponding inorganic salts for the OTM and the ITM, respectively. Each mineral premix provided 100 ppm Fe/175 ppm Fe, 35 ppm Cu/170 ppm Cu, 90 ppm Zn/120 ppm Zn, and 40 ppm Mn/35 ppm Mn when added at 0.20% in sows /weaned pigs' diets, respectively. The first dose of Fe dextran was administered to piglets at 3 d and the second dose at 10 d after birth. One dose of Fe dextran supplied 100 mg of Fe. A total of 16 gestating sows (Landrace${\times}$Yorkshire) in parities 2 to 4 were randomly allocated to four treatments: 1) diet with ITM/one dose of Fe dextran to piglets, 2) diet with ITM/two doses of Fe dextran to piglets, 3) diet with OTM/one dose of Fe dextran to piglets, and 4) diet with OTM/two doses of Fe dextran to piglets. The total born alive, weaned, body weight at birth and at weaning were not affected by the sow's dietary treatment. Although organic trace mineral supplementation tended to increase the milk Fe content (p<0.10) at 7 d postpartum, piglets in all treatments performed equally from birth to weaning. The double doses of Fe dextran neither improved the average daily gain (ADG) nor influenced the survival of piglets from birth to weaning (21 d). Results suggest that a single dose of Fe dextran given to suckling pigs is adequate to sustain their needs for growth throughout the lactation period (21 d). Furthermore, there was a 21% improvement in both the ADG and the average daily feed intake (ADFI) (p<0.05) in weaned pigs fed diets with OTM. Cu and Fe in the liver (p<0.01), and Zn in both the bone (p<0.01) and the serum (p<0.01) were higher in piglets fed OTM than in those fed ITM. It would be concluded that single dose of Fe dextran administration with organic trace mineral supplementation show similar growth performance compared to 2 dose Fe dextran administration with inorganic mineral supplementation in young pigs.

  • This study aims to analyze the convergence change of smart city industries in Korea. Industries of Smart city can be defined ICTs and Knowledge embedded construction industry. The input output model and structural path analysis have been done using the input output tables published by Bank of Korea in 1980 and 2014. GDP deflator was applied to the input output tables. 403 industries were reclassified into 27 industries and 8 industries categories: Agriculture and Mining(AM), Non-IT Manufacture(NITM), IT Manufacture(ITM), Energy Supply(EnS), Construction as smart city(C), IT Service(ITS), Knowledge Service(KS), Etc. Service(EtS). The results are as follows; First, the input output coefficient analysis showed that The information and communication service industry(ITS) and the energy supply industry(EnS) have increased input to the construction industry(C). On the other hands, knowledge service industry(KS) and etc. service industries(EtS) decreased. Second, the multiplier analysis revealed that construction industry(C) led by smart city had a great influence on ITS, EnS, ITM and NITM directly and indirectly. Furthermore, The IT industry had the biggest change from 1980 to 2014. Third, the smart city industry has created a new convergence of 117, and it has been leading to segmentation of the structure. Change of convergence has been proceeding mainly in the ITS and EnS, NITM, ITM industries.

  • 현재 MPEG 에서 Royalty-Free 비디오 코덱인 Type-1 표준으로 진행중인 IVC(Internet Video Coding)에서는 저지연 모드(LD: Low-Delay) 부호화 구조에서 비참조 P 프레임 부호화 기법을 적응적으로 사용하여 부호화 이득을 얻고 있다. 비참조 P 프레임 기법은 P 프레임의 타입을 지정하여 고정된 부호화 구조의 비참조 P 프레임을 적용하고 있으나, ITM(IVC Test Model) 9.0 에 구현된 부호화 구조는 다중참조 프레임(MRF: Multiple Reference Frame)을 사용할 때 시간적 예측 거리가 먼 참조 프레임을 먼저 예측하는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 다중참조 프레임에서 기존의 P 프레임 타입 설정을 변경하여 비참조 P 프레임의 부호화 구조를 개선하였다. 실험결과 제안 기법은 시퀀스에 따른 큰 성능 저하 없이 기존 기법 대비 0.6% 정도의 추가적인 비트율 감소로 얻음으로써 비참조 P 프레임 기법이 ITM 9.0 대비 7.9% 정도의 비트율 감소를 얻음을 확인하였다.

  • 현재 MPEG 에서 표준화 중인 IVC(Internet Video Coding)에서는 저지연 모드 부호화 구조에서 비참조 P 프레임 부호화 기법을 선택적으로 사용하여 2% 비트율 이득을 얻고 있다. 기존의 비참조 P 프레임 기법은 움직임 벡터(MV)의 크기를 이용하여 적응적으로 고정된 부호화 구조의 비참조 P 프레임을 적용하고 있으나 시퀀스에 따라서 오히려 부호화 성능이 크게 떨어지는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 IVC 시험모델(ITM4.0)에 채택되어 있는 적응적 비참조 P 프레임 부호화 성능을 개선하기 위하여 기존의 고정된 비참조 P 프레임의 구조를 변경하는 기법과 MV 와 함께 프레임별 발생 비트량을 함께 사용하는 기법을 제시한다. 실험결과 제안된 기법은 시퀀스에 따른 큰 성능 저하 없이 ITM4.0 대비 3.0% 정도의 비트율 감소를 얻음을 확인하였다.
