In this study, the conditions of low temperature and high pressure of biogas upgrading process using polysulfone membrane have been designed and tested to achieve the high recovery and efficiency corresponding to those of the highly selective polymeric materials. Polysulfone hollow fiber membrane with 4-component dope solution was spun via non-solvent induced phase separation. The hollow fiber membrane was mounted into a 1.5 inch housing. The effective area was 1.6 m², and its performance was examined in various operation temperatures and pressures. CO₂ and CH₄ permeances were 412 and 12.7 GPU at 20℃, and 280 and 3.6 GPU at -20℃, respectively, while the CO₂/CH₄ selectivity increased from 32.4 to 77.8. Single gas test was followed by the mixed gas experiments using single-stage and double stage where the membrane area ratio varied from 1:1 to 1:3. At the single-stage, CH₄ purity increased and the recovery decreased as the stage-cut increased. At the double stage, the area ratio of 1:3 showed the higher CH₄ recovery as decreasing the operation temperature at the same purity of CH₄ 97%. Finally, polysulfone hollow fiber membranes have yielded of both CH₄ purity and recovery of 97% at -20℃ and 16 barg.

The glass-ceramic of the $Li_{2}O-Al_{2}O_{3}-SiO_{2}$ system was investigated to develop the low thermal expansion materials. The glass of this system was heat treated at $775^{\circ}C$ for 2 h for nucleation and subsequently at $825{\sim}900^{\circ}C$ for 2 h for crystallization. The crystal structure of the glass-ceramic of this system was a single phase of $\beta$-quartz solid solution($Li_{x}Al_{x}Si_{1-x}O_{2}$). The thermal expansion of the glass-ceramic showed $4.40{\times}10^{-7}{\sim}1.33{\times}10^{-6}K^{-1}$ between $25{\sim}300^{\circ}C$ and $1.56{\times}10^{-6}{\sim}2.53{\times}10^{-6}K^{-1}$ between $25{\sim}800^{\circ}C$, higher than lower temperature range. The mechanical strength remained almost same at around high 110 MPa with heating temperature changes.

Green tea leaves grown in Jeju island were harvested at different times in 2010 and 2011. Green teas harvested in 2010 experienced higher effective accumulative temperature than green teas harvested in 2011. The free and bound volatile compounds in green tea were analyzed using headspace-solid phase microextraction gas chromatography (GC) and GC-mass spectrometry. All green teas contained the 6 major volatile compounds ${\alpha}$-methylbutanal, pentanal, (E)-2-hexen-1-ol, ${\beta}$-linalool, geraniol and ${\alpha}$-farnesene. After enzyme treatment, (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol, benzaldehyde, (Z)-3-hexenyl acetate, ${\beta}$-linalool and geraniol were increased in all green teas. (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol increased significantly in green tea harvested in 2010, and benzaldehyde increased widely in green tea harvested in 2011. However, the total volatile compounds in green teas harvested in 2011 were remarkably decreased in comparison to harvested in 2010. It was confirmed that free and bound volatile compounds in green tea are affected by low winter temperatures.

The cement is a typical CO₂ emission industry. Manufacturing process improvements and increased use of alternative materials are needed to reduce energy consumption and CO₂ emissions. This study confirmed the basic characteristics of cement hydration by sintering CAF at low temperature as a CO₂ adsorbent material. For the hydration product of the synthetic CAF, crystal phase analysis, porosity, and structural images were confirmed, and the compressive strength was measured. The replacement rate of SCAF was 10, 20, and 100 %, and the compressive strength tended to decrease as the replacement rate increased. In addition, when the SCAF substitution rate is 100 %, the hydration products of the early age are calcium aluminum oxide hydrate (Ca₃Al₂O₆ x H₂O) and calcium iron hydroxide (Ca₃Fe(OH)₁₂), and at substitution rates of 10 and 20 %, CAF compounds other than general cement hydrates brownmillerite was observed. As for the porosity, the pore size increased and the porosity increased with the increase of the replacement ratio. As a result of this study, CAF manufactured by low-temperature sintering seems to be difficult to use alone and general curing for utilization as a CO₂ adsorbing material.

Poly-lactic acid (PLA) is the most promising polymer in additive manufacturing as an alternative to acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS). Since it is produced from renewable resources such as corn starch and sugar beets, it is also biocompatible and biodegradable. However, PLA has a couple of issues that limit its use. First, it has a comparatively low glass transition temperature of around 60 ℃, such that it exhibits low thermal resistance. Second, PLA has low impact strength because it is brittle. Due to these problems, scientists have found methods to improve the crystallinity and ductility of PLA. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is one of the most studied plasticizers for PLA to give it chain mobility. However, the blend of PLA and PEG becomes unstable, and phase separation occurs even at room temperature as PEG is self-crystallized. Thus, it is necessary to investigate the optimal mixing ratio of PLA-PEG at the molecular scale. In this study, molecular dynamics will be conducted with various ratios of L-type PLA (PLLA) or DL-type PLA-PEG (PDLA-PEG) systems by using BIOVIA Materials Studio.

We investigated the phase noise of an oscillator with a extremely high-Q resonator used as the resonant element. A TE$_{011}$ mode rutile-loaded resonator with high-temperature superconductive (HTS) $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta}$(YBCO) films used as the endplates is prepared for this purpose. At 23.5 K, the unloaded Q and the loaded Q are 863000 and 180000, respectively. The phase noise of -104.8 dBc/Hz at 1 KHz offset was observed for the oscillator having a resonator with $Q_{L}$ =180000 at the $TE_{01\delta$ mode resonant frequency of 8.545 GHz at 23.5 K Such oscillators with very low phase noise are expected to be used for building up communication systems capable of efficient use of the frequency band and high-speed data transmission as well as for Doppler radars. Frequency tuning could be realized for the resonator by using a piezoactuator Applicability of the tunable rutile resonator for fabricating tunable oscillators of high performances is discussed.

"Ubiquitous sensor network" definition is this-Someone attaches electro-magnetic tag everything which needs communication between man to man, man to material and material to material(Ubiquitous). By using attached every electro-magnetic tag, someone detects it's native information as well as environmental information such as temperature, humidity, pollution and infiltration information(Sensor). someone connects it realtime network and manage generated information(Network). 21st century's war is joint combined operation connecting with ground, sea and air smoothly in digitalized war field, and is systematic war provided realtime information from sensor to shooter. So, it needs dramatic development on watch reconnaissance, command and control, pinpoint strike etc. Ubiquitous computing and network technologies are essential in national defense to operate 21st century style war. It is possible to use many parts such as USN combined smart dust and sensor network to protect friend unit as well as to watch enemy's deep area by unmanned reconnaissance, wearable computer upgrading soldier's operational ability and combat power dramatically, RFID which can be used material management as well as on time support. Especially, unmanned watch system using USN is core part to transit network centric military service and to get national defense efficiency which overcome the dilemma of national defense person resource reducing, and upgrade guard quality level, and improve combat power by normalizing guardian's bio rhythm. According to the test result of sensor network unmanned watch system, it needs more effort and time to stabilize because of low USN technology maturity and using maturity. In the future, USN unmanned watch system project must be decided the application scope such as application area and starting point by evaluating technology maturity and using maturity. And when you decide application scope, you must consider not only short period goal as cost reduction, soldier decrease and guard power upgrade but also long period goal as advanced defense ability strength. You must build basic infra in advance such as light cable network, frequency allocation and power facility etc. First of all, it must get budget guarantee and driving force for USN unmanned watch system project related to defense policy. You must forwarded the USN project assuming posses of operation skill as procedure, system, standard, training in advance. Operational skill posses is come from step by step application strategy such as test phase, introduction phase, spread phase, stabilization phase and also repeated test application taking example project.

The Asan Bay, which has semi-diurnal tide with macro-tidal range, is affected by both freshwater discharge from the sluice gates in the sea dikes and tidal seawater inputs from the Yellow sea. Understanding water quality change in response to tides is important since tides can impact the short-term variations in physical and chemical water properties as well as the response of biological properties. The diel variations in water quality were seasonally investigated at 2 hour intervals from a fixed station in the Asan Bay. In the results, water temperature and salinity consistently fluctuated in phase or out of phase with tidal height. Especially salinity was positively correlated with tidal height. The concentrations of total suspended solids were higher in the bottom water than in the surface and fluctuated greatly over the tidal cycle recording higher values at low tide than at high tide. Nitrite+nitrate levels also fluctuated out of phase with tidal height and correlated negatively with tidal height. Other nutrients also showed a similar pattern. The pattern was distinct in July when freshwater was discharged before the field sampling. The concentrations of organic materials, total nitrogen and total phosphorus greatly fluctuated over the tidal cycle and were generally out of phase with tidal height. Most materials except particulate organic forms were correlated with salinity indicating that freshwater inputs were sources for the materials similarly to the dissolved inorganic nutrients. The results suggest that water quality (except dissolved oxygen and pH) and nutrients including organic materials was largely affected by tides in the Asan Bay.

Numerical simulations are performed at atmospheric pressure in order to understand the effect of additives on flame speed and the NOx formation in freely propagating $H_{2}/O_{2}/N_{2}$ flames with oxygen enrichments. A chemical kinetic mechanism is developed, which involves 26 gas-phase species and 99 reactions. Under several equivalence ratios and oxygen enrichments, flame speeds are calculated and compared with those obtained from the experiments, the results of which is in good agreement. As hydrogen chloride as additive is added into $H_{2}/O_{2}/N_{2}$ flames with low oxygen enrichments, its chemical effect causes the decrease of flame speed, radical concentration, and the NO production rate. It is found that the chemical effect of additive has much more influence on the reduction of EINO than its physical effect. However, in flames with very high flame temperature the physical effect rather than the chemical effect becomes more important on the reduction of EINO.

The piezoelectric properties and the doping effect for $0.95Pb(Zr_xTi_{l-x})O_3+0.O5Pb(Mn_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3$compositions were studied. Also, the heat generation and the change of electromechanical characteristics, the important problem in practical usage, were investigated under high electric field driving. As a experiment results under low electric field, the value of $k_p$ and ${\varepsilon}_{33}^T$ were maximized, but $Q_m$ was minimized $(k_p=0.57, Q_m=1550)$ in the composition of x=0.51. In order to increase the values of $Q_m$, $Nb_2O_5$ was used as a dopant. As the result of that, the grain size was suppressed and the uniformity of grain was improved. Also, the values of $k_p$ decreased, and the values of $Q_m$ increased with doping concentration of $Nb_2O_5$ . As a experiment results under high electric field driving, when vibration velocity was ower than 0.6[m/s], the temperature increase was 20[℃], and the change ratio of mechanical quality factor was less than 10[%]. So, its electromechanical characteristics was very stable. Conclusively, piezoelectric ceramic composition investigated at this paper is suitable for application to high power piezoelectric devices.
