Membrane distillation (MD) is a thermally driven desalination process with a hydrophobic membrane. MD process has been known to have a lower fouling potential compared to other pressure-based membrane desalination process (NF, RO). However, membrane fouling also occurs in MD process. In this study, the membrane fouling was observed in MD process according to the pre-treatment processes. The filtration and precipitation processes were applied as the pre-treatment to prevent the membrane fouling. The pore sizes of roughing filters were 0.4, 5, 10, 30, and $60{\mu}m$. The concentration of the coagulant was 1.2 mg/L as $FeCl_3$. The membrane fouling on MD membrane was successfully removed with both pre-treatment processes.

Effect of pre-treatment and compression ratio on specific gravity (SG) and dimensional stability improvement of three lesser-used wood species from natural forest area of North Kalimantan Province, Indonesia had been investigated. Hot soaking at 80℃ for 3 hours within 2 and 5% of boron solution was applied as pre-treatment, while compression ratio applied was 20 and 40% from the initial thickness. Densification was conducted using hot pressing machine at 30 kg/㎠ of pressure and 160℃ of temperature for 15 minutes. Specific gravity was measured gravimetrically, while dimensional stability was evaluated through thickness swelling and water absorption as the indicator. Results show that SG of densified wood was influenced by wood species and compression ratio, but not by pre-treatment applied; while dimensional stability was influenced by wood species, compression ratio, and pre-treatment. Specific gravity and water absorption of densified wood was improved significantly. Specific gravity increased 28.86-63.03%, while water absorption decreased 12.80-15.89%. Thickness swelling of 20% densified wood was lower than that of 40% densified wood.

Various types of the air/fuel pre-mixer have been designed and tested to investigate the combustion characteristics of the lean-premixed gas turbine combustor, such as NO emission and flame stability. One type of the pre-mixers has been selected and installed to a 70 kW lean-premixed gas turbine combustor. The concentrations of CO and NO were measured with varying equivalence ratios in the combustion chamber at ambient pressure. The result shows that the emissions of CO and NO are heavily affected by the shape of the pre-mixer. The NO and CO emissions decreased, as the mixing ratio of air and fuel increased. In addition, the NO emission of the lean-premixed low NOx combustor is more dependent on the equivalence ratio than that of the conventional combustor.

이산화탄소($CO_2$) 포집 및 지중저장을 위한 $CO_2$ 수송선용 저장탱크는 액체 $CO_2$와 직접적으로 접촉할 경우 발생할 수 있는 물리적/열적 탱크 손상을 방지하기 위해 화물 선적 단계 이전에 예냉과정을 거쳐야 한다. 본 연구에서는 예냉을 위해 주입되는 저온 $CO_2$ 기체의 탱크 유입량을 계산하기 위해 $CO_2$ 저장탱크 예냉과정의 수학적 모델 식을 제안하였다. 또한 비례-적분(proportional-integral: PI) 제어를 통해 공정을 제어하는 동적 모사 결과를 제시하였다. 이 때 제어 변수를 탱크 내 온도 또는 압력으로 선정한 두 가지 사례를 모사하였으며 그러한 결정이 $CO_2$ 저장탱크의 예냉과정에 미치는 영향을 해석하였다. 결과적으로 예냉과정의 PI제어에는 탱크 내 온도를 제어하는 것보다 압력을 제어하는 우회적인 방식을 택할 때 수학적 모델의 비선형성과 특이점 발생으로 인한 불안정성을 피할 수 있으므로 더 안정된 결과가 도출됨을 보였다.

Purpose: This study was done to investigate the effect of foot reflexology on vital signs, general fatigue, mood and foot fatigue in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. Method: Data were collected from a convenience sample of 11 patients who were admitted at S and E University Hospital. Changes in systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure(DBP), pulse rate(PR), general fatigue, mood status, and foot fatigue between pre and post foot reflexology were analyzed using Wilcoxon signed rank test and Friedman test at 0.05 level of significance. Results: There were significant differences in the SBP(p= .009), DBP(p=.014), PR(p=.015), general fatigue (p=.015) mood status(p=.007), and foot fatigue(p= .007) between pre and post foot reflexology. Conclusion: Foot reflexology can improve vital signs, general/foot fatigue and mood status, therefore we recommend to use foot reflexology as an effective nursing intervention in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy.

In the elementary school science curriculum, wind is one of the most important concept. In particular, land and sea breeze has been a key example to deliver how wind is driven, and thus its model experiments have been used to help students understand causes of wind. Here we compare causes and explanations for wind and land and sea breeze between textbooks in colleges and elementary schools to examine any potential improvement for the contents. In addition, we conducted survey to examine how pre-service teachers understand land and sea breeze, and convection box experiment used in elementary school textbooks is useful to understand land and sea breeze. Based on the comparison, we find that college level textbook explains the cause of wind as atmospheric pressure difference while elementary school textbooks explain them differently according to curriculums. In the textbooks, there are a difference in the way described for land and sea breeze. Analysis of questionnaire indicate that pre-service teachers understood land and sea breeze correctly, and they selected the convection box experiment in 2009 curriculum textbooks as the most suitable one. Explanations and experiments for land and sea breeze in the textbooks have been revised as the modification of elementary school curriculums. We expect this study helps to deliver more solid contents for wind and land and sea breeze in the upcoming new curriculum.

For investigating the effect of the pre-existing joints on the initiation pattern of hydraulic fractures, the numerical simulation of circular holes under internal hydraulic pressure with a different pattern of the joint distributions are conducted by using a finite element code, FRANC2D. The pattern of hydraulic fracturing initiation are scrutinized with changing the values of the joint length, joint offset angle. The hydraulic pressures with 70% of the peak value of borehole wall breakout pressure are applied at the similar models. The simulation results suggest that the opening-mode fracture initiated from the joint tip and propagated toward the borehole for critical values of ligament angle and joint offset angle. At these critical values, the crack grow length is influenced by joint ligament length. When the ligament length is less than 3 times the borehole diameter the crack growth length increases monotonically with increasing joint length. The opening-mode fracture disappears at the joint tip as the ligament length increases.

The thickness of flame and preheat zone from burning velocity which was computed by using Premix code of Chemkin program for methane-air mixture. Also the thickness was evaluated from temperature profile which is also obtained from Premix code for the equivalence ratio of 0.5 to 1.6. The computations were carried out for the laminar flame thickness and burning velocity under the unburned gas temperature 0.5bat-30bar and temperature of 300K-700K at ${\Phi}=l.0$. Comparison of the results showed no difference between these two methods. The flame thickness was decreased by increasing the pressure and temperature, but, the affect of pressure is more significant than the effect of temperature on the flame thickness. The thickness of preheat zone was about 66.5% of the flame thickness, and flame thickness and burning velocity were also predicted by using empirical equation.

The effect of mixed onion pills on body composition, blood pressure, and concentrations of blood glucose and lipids were studied in 10 men ($38.11{\pm}2.82$ years old). The mixed onion pills was produced by mixing quercetin, onion, mulberry leaves and buckwheat. Ten volunteers (male, BMI 23.0~35.4 kg/$m^2$) were chosen for this study. The volunteers consumed 1.2 g of mixed onion pills (containing about 30 mg of quercetin) per day for 2 months. The administration of the mixed onion pills did not produce any weight and BMI changes in the subjects. The systolic blood pressure and the level of blood glucose were slightly lowered by the supplementation of the mixed onion pills. After 2 months both the concentration of plasma triglycerides and total cholesterol of the subjects were lowered by 12.4% and 5.0%, respectively (triglyceride; pre $251.67{\pm}45.63$ mg/dL vs. post $220.44{\pm}44.67$ mg/dL and total cholesterol; pre $207.25{\pm}10.39$ mg/dL vs. post $196.63{\pm}10.47$ mg/dL, p<0.05). These results suggest that the mixed onion pills may possibly lower the level of plasma lipids in overweight or obese men (BMI greater than 23 kg/$m^2$).
