In this study, the coating properties and surface performance of exotic cherry wood (Prunus serotina) were estimated, reviewing color difference, hardness and abrasion resistibility in order to evaluate probability as construction interior members such as wall and floor. The reduction effect of color difference was represented in the order of water soluble color stain, water soluble transparent stain, and non-coated lumber. However, the tendency of distinct difference according to wood grain pattern was not found. The wavy grain lumber showed better properties in hardness and resistance to abrasion than quarter grain. In conclusion, it was supposed that the application of wavy grain lumber in wall and floor as interior materials would be acceptable in practicality.

Artemisinin, the effective ingredient of Chinese herb Artemisia annua L (Qinghao in Chinese), has been proved to be effective to antimalarial. Herein, a reliable, sensitive and convenient electrochemical method was developed for the determination of artemisinin utilizing the excellent properties of multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWNT). The electrochemical behavior of artemisinin was investigated. It is found that the reduction peak current of artemisinin remarkably increases and the peak potential shifts positively by 240 mV at the MWNT film-modified electrode. These phenomena indicate that the MWNT film exhibits efficient catalytic activity to the electrochemical reduction of artemisinin. The effects of pH value, amount of MWNT, scan rate and accumulation time were examined. The limit of detection (S/N = 3) is as low as 10 $\mu$ g $L^{-1}$. Finally, this newly developed method was used to determine the content of artemisinin in Artemisia annua L.

We evaluated the effect of particle size and associated dynamics on a hydrocyclone separation process in order to understand the movement of the particle trajectories inside the hydrocyclone via numerical analysis, with particles of acid hydrolysis residues discharged in $TiO_2$ production via the sulfate method as a case study. The values obtained from the numerical simulation were successfully compared with those from experimental tests in the literature, allowing a description of the dynamics of the particles, their acting forces, and their relevant properties together with separation efficiency. The results showed that particle motion is jointly controlled by the drag force, the pressure gradient force and the centrifugal force. With increasing particle size, the influence of the drag force is weakened, whereas that of the centrifugal force and pressure gradient is strengthened. Factors including particle density, slurry viscosity, and inlet slurry flow rate also contribute to a clear and useful understanding of particle motion behavior in the hydrocyclone as a method for improving the separation efficiency.

This study was conducted to investigate the awareness and utilization of the Internet resources and services for academic activities by the academic staff of tertiary institutions in Adamawa State. The researchers adopted a quantitative research method using cross-sectional survey design to collect data from the respondents. Multi-stage sampling techniques were used. Three hundred and thirty-three (333) copies of the questionnaire were administered to the respondents in the eight (8) sampled institutions and two hundred and ninety-two (292) respondents representing (87.6%) were returned and found useful. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics by the use of SPSS version 20.0. The findings revealed that respondents were aware of all the Internet resources, (e-books, e-journals, and online databases), but regarding the Internet services, they were mostly aware of only the e-mail. The study further found that online database and e-mail as the most Internet resources and services utilized by the respondents. There are inverse and weak relationship between awareness and utilization of the Internet resources and services by the academic staff of tertiary institutions in Adamawa State. The study recommends increase awareness and use to other Internet resources such as the e-books and e-journal and Internet services, especially Usenet, Discussion group and Telnet by the management of the institutions through training, workshops/conferences for better academic activities.

A fundamental study was conducted on the dissolution of North Korean magnesite using hydrochloric acid to understand the dissolution behavior of the magnesium and impurities. The influence of the acid concentration, particle size of the magnesite, reaction temperature, and pulp density on the dissolution of magnesium, iron, calcium, aluminum, and silicon dioxide was studied. The experimental results showed that 98.5% of magnesium, 86.9% of iron, 87.3% of calcium, 23.6% of aluminum, and 20.4% of silicon dioxide were dissolved when magnesite particle sizes within the range of $75{\sim}105{\mu}m$ were reacted using 3 M HCl solution under 6% pulp density at 363 K for 3 h. The residues that remained after the dissolution were silicon dioxide, talc, and clinochlore.

본 연구에서는 국내에 부존된 함바나듐 티탄자철석(Vanadium TitanoMagnetite, VTM)을 대상으로 환원 전처리를 이용한 바나듐 회수 공정 개발 연구를 진행하였다. 연구에 사용된 시료는 경기 포천시 관인광산에서 제공한 시료로 바나듐 품위는 0.54V₂O₅%이며, 자철석과 티탄철석이 대부분 차지하고 있는 것을 확인하였다. 단일자력선별 실험결과, 자력선별만으로는 바나듐 품위 1.10V₂O₅%대가 한계임을 확인하였다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 탄소(C)를 이용, 자철석 내에 존재하는 철을 환원시켜 철 내부에 존재하는 바나듐을 농축, 품위를 향상시키고자 하였다. 실험결과를 바탕으로 환원 전처리를 적용한 자력선별 공정을 개발하였으며 최종적으로 V₂O₅기준으로 품위 1.31%, 회수율 79.68%인 바나듐 정광을 회수할 수 있었다. 또한 환원 전과 후, 최종 바나듐 정광에 대한 XRD 분석을 실시하여 환원 전처리에 의한 바나듐의 거동을 확인하였다.

This article examines the utilization of e-resources Modibbo Adama University of Technology, (MAUTech) Yola under the auspices of the central library, the Ibrahim Babangida Library. Academics and students are primary users of information resources of any library, hence, their responses towards the utilization of e-resources in the institution have been critically considered in this study. A Mixed method research Design was adopted for the study. A case study approach was employed. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Diffusion of Innovation (DoI) theories were used to develop the conceptual framework of this paper. Questionnaires were used as data gathering tools. Academics and students acted as participants. Major findings are lack of sufficient Internet access for academics and students and lack of training and awareness campaigns. Conclusion has shown that e-resources did not impact research and teaching of academics in MAUTech, Yola.

The effects of high carbohydrate diet on growth, serum physiological response, and hepatic heat shock protein 70 expression in Wuchang bream were determined at $25^{\circ}C$ and $30^{\circ}C$. At each temperature, the fish fed the control diet (31% CHO) had significantly higher weight gain, specific growth rate, protein efficiency ratio and hepatic glucose-6-phosphatase activities, lower feed conversion ratio and hepatosomatic index (HSI), whole crude lipid, serum glucose, hepatic glucokinase (GK) activity than those fed the high-carbohydrate diet (47% CHO) (p<0.05). The fish reared at $25^{\circ}C$ had significantly higher whole body crude protein and ash, serum cholesterol and triglyceride, hepatic G-6-Pase activity, lower glycogen content and relative levels of hepatic growth hormone (GH) gene expression than those reared at $30^{\circ}C$ (p<0.05). Significant interaction between temperature and diet was found for HSI, condition factor, hepatic GK activity and the relative levels of hepatic GH gene expression (p<0.05).

본 연구에서는 최근 새로운 활엽수 조림수종으로써 주목받고 있는 백합나무 제재목의 재질개선을 통한 부가가치 향상을 모색하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 이전 연구에서 삼나무의 재질개선 방법으로써 적용가능성이 확인된 $200^{\circ}C$ 내외의 고온 열처리방법을 적용하였으며, 백합나무 재색제어에 적합한 적정 열처리 조건 구명 및 열처리에 따른 재질변화 평가를 수행하였다. $200^{\circ}C$의 열처리 조건에서 백합나무 심 변재 사이의 재색차이가 줄어드는 경향을 확인하였으며, 이러한 경향은 처리시간이 증가함에 따라 더 크게 나타났다. 열처리재의 평형함수율이 무처리재에 비해 50% 정도 낮아 목재의 사용과정에서 나타나는 수분에 의한 성능저하를 예방할 수 있을 것으로 기대되었으나, 백합나무의 친환경 방부처리 기술로써 열처리의 적용 가능성은 삼나무에 비해 낮게 나타났다. 열처리재의 역학성능 변화는 삼나무와 거의 유사한 경향을 보였으며, 향후 백합나무의 용도를 개발하는데 있어서 이러한 물성 변화가 고려되어야 할 것이다. 열처리에 의한 물성변화의 원인을 규명하기 위한 미세구조 관찰 결과 에서는 특별한 변화를 확인할 수 없었으며, 추후 물성변화의 원인규명을 위한 추가적인 연구가 요구되었다.
