This study investigates the effect of high-skilled inventor emigration rate on growth rate of the country of origin (COO). Inventor emigrants represent the human capital that can generate highly innovative work. The social network they form spurs knowledge diffusion and technology transfer back to their COOs, which in turn affects innovation and growth in their home countries. We run dynamic panel estimation for 154 countries during 1990-2011, and empirically show that a positive and statistically significant effect exists for the interaction of inventor emigration and trade. The result indicates that the direct negative impact of the brain drain can be mitigated by the positive feedback effect generated by the high-skilled inventor emigrants abroad. When coupled with an active trade policy that reinforces growth, countries can partially recoup the direct effect of the human capital loss. We stress the importance of international trade for successful technology transfer to occur, and offer insights for policies that can utilize the benefits of the rich social network of their high-skilled emigrants.

This numerical study was to investigate the effect of $CO_2$ addition on the structures and NOx formation characteristics in $CH_4$ counterflow diffusion flame. The importance of radiation effect was identified and $CO_2$ addition effect was investigated in terms of thermal and chemical reaction effect. Also the causes of NOx reduction were clarified by separation method of each formation mechanisms. The results were as follows : The radiation effect was intensified by $CO_2$ addition. Thermal effect mainly contributed to the changes in flame structure and the amount of NO formation but the chemical reaction effect also cannot be neglected. The reduction of thermal NO was dominant with respect to reduction rate, but that of prompt NO was dominant with respect to total amount.

In a multi-effect solar distiller, a feeding rate of seawater to each effect should be decreased as the effect number is increased. In previous studies, the feed rate of seawater was not reduced evenly between the effects, which is unreasonable, since the thermal energy input of each effect decreases by the same amount. In this work, numerical analysis was carried out in order to elucidate this discrepancy. The results showed that the amount of distillates produced was almost the same for both evenly and unevenly reduced flow rates between the effects. Optimum feed rates of seawater with various energy inputs from exhaust gas heat exchanger were also obtained. The results showed that the optimum feed rate of the first effect increased linearly or reached a steady state depending on the heat flux.

Langasite, a new piezoelectric material was polished by CMP(chemical mechanical polishing). To enhance the polishing rate, alumina abrasives were added to commercial ILD1300 slurry which contains silica abrasive. The effect of added alumina 0 the silica slurry on the polishing rate and damage of langasite was investigated, Experimental results show that the polishing rate and roughness increases with increasing added alumina particle size, Crystallinity of the langasite is also lowered by alumina addition.

The effect of substrate micellization on the hydrolysis rate in the production of lysopho-sphatidylcholine (LPC) from phosphatidylcholine (PC) using hog pancreas phospholipase A2(PLA2) was studied. The optimal temperature and pH for the reactions in aqueous phase was found 42C and 7.2, respectively. For a given PC concentration, initial reaction rate was progressively increased with the addition of sodium deoxycholate (DOC), which could transform the bilayer of phospholipids into micellar structure.

The effect of cell density on cell growth was investigated in a suspension batch culture of hybridoma cells. The specific growth rate was found to increase with increasing initial cell density and then to decrease with further increases in initial cell density. In order to quantitatively describe the dependence of specific growth rate on cell density, a kinetic model is proposed, which satisfactorily represents the experimental data.

The change in discharge current of a glow discharge has been shown the potential sensitive detector for gas chromatography. To investigate the effect of carrier gas on the electrical characteristics of the discharge and the peak response, the discharge pressure, gas flow rate, and discharge gap have been studied. The discharge gas included the Ar, He, and N$_{2}$. The gas flow rate has been found one of the important parameters to affect both the electrical characteristics and the peak response.

The objective of this study is to identify the effectiveness of ESC(Electronic Stability Control) based on a meta analysis technique. Accident Rate, Fatal Crash Rate, Loss of Control Crash Rate were set as indexes of traffic safety evaluation. Also, reviews on the effectiveness of ESC were collected using keyword, 'ESC'. As a result, the Effect size of accident rate odd ratio was 0.90. When ESC system was applied on vehicles, accident rate decreased by 10%. Also, the Effect size of fatal crash rate odd ratio was 0.64. When ESC system was applied on vehicles, fatal crash rate decreased by 36%. Lastly, the Effect size of loss of control crash rate odd ratio was 0.73. When ESC system was applied on vehicles, loss of control crash rate decreased by 27%. The outcome of this study would be effectively used for developing polices and regulations for ESC installation obligation of commercial vehicles.
