Sludge Returned CMAS process was applied to treat the wastewater from electric accessory manufacturing company while this type of wastewater was usually treated by chemical process. This result show that the removal rate of TCOD was about 70-80% regardless of hydraulic retention time, On the contrary, the removal rate of BOD was abtained in a range of 77-92% depending on hydraulic retention time. In order to remove more than 80% of organic materials with the proposed process, the F/M ratio should be maintained below 0.17. In this case, the calculated value of organic removal rate, Km, was calculated to be 1.26 hr$^{-1}$, and the ratio of cell synthesis/total energy was 0.32 and 0.26 for COD and BOD base, respectively. The yield coefficient was calculated to be 0.242 and the half velocity coefficient was 0.3 hr$^{-1}$. The value of endogenous respiration coefficient was 0.02 hr$^{-1}$. The measured effluent BOD concentration, MLSS concentration in aeration tank, oxygen uptake rate, and sludge production were matched relatively well with the calculated values using above coefficients, In order to optimize the dewatering of sludge, the hydraulic retention time was recommended to be 15. 6 hrs. These results indicate that the wastewater from an eletric accessory manufacturing company can be treated safely with a biological process.

A study is reported which investigated the additive nature of digestible energy (DE) from dietary nutrients and to estimate the relative energy values of different energy-yielding nutrients in practical trout diets. A growth study was conducted over 12 weeks with 6 diets. Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were fed diets once a day ad libitum. Digestible energy values determined and calculated had direct relationship indicating additive nature of such values for feed ingredients. Overall growth performance was best in a diet containing 33% digestible protein (DP) with a DP/DE ratio of 18.6. A reduction in digestible protein level with the same DP/DE rat io led to a significant decrease in growth and feed efficiency. The increase of 7% of lipid with concomitant decrease in protein resulted in the relative gain of 130% in growth and nutrient retention, suggesting that 1 g of lipid is equal to about 1.3 g of proteins in terms of net energetic value. Replacement of 10% of dietary lipid by carbohydrates led to a slight decrease in energy retention efficiency but to a great increase in lipid retention efficiency (130%) showing that dietary carbohydrates led to increased lipogenesis.

Recent findings have shown that microbial nitrogen flow and digestible energy of diets are increased when urea is combined with a slow-release urea (SRU) in diets with a starch to acid detergent fibre ratio (S:F) 4:1. This affect is attributable to enhanced synchrony between ruminal N availability for microbial growth and carbohydrate degradation. To verify the magnitude of this effects on lamb performance, an experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of combining urea and a SRU in diets containing S:F ratios of 3:1, 4:1, or 5:1 on performance, dietary energetics and carcass characteristics of finishing lambs. For that, 40 Pelibuey${\times}$Katahdin lambs ($36.65{\pm}3kg$) were assigned to one of five weight groupings in 20 pens (5 repetition/treatments). The S:F ratio in the diet was manipulated by partially replacing the corn grain and dried distiller's grain with solubles by forage (wheat straw) and soybean meal to reach S:F ratios of 3:1, 4:1 or 5:1. An additional treatment of 4:1 S:F ratio with 0.8% urea as the sole source of non-protein nitrogen was used as a reference for comparing the effect of urea combination vs. conventional urea at the same S:F ratio. There were no treatment effects on dry matter intake (DMI). Compared the urea combination vs urea at the same S:F ratio, urea combination increased (p<0.01) average daily gain (ADG, 18.3%), gain for feed (G:F, 9.5%), and apparent energy retention per unit DMI (8.2%). Irrespective of the S:F ratio, the urea combination improved the observed-to-expected dietary ratio and apparent retention per unit DMI was maximal (quadratic effect, $p{\leq}0.03$) at an S:F ratio of 4:1, while the conventional urea treatment did not modify the observed-to-expected net energy ratio nor the apparent retention per unit DMI at 4:1 S:F ratio. Urea combination group tended (3.8%, p = 0.08) to have heavier carcasses with no effects on the rest of carcass characteristics. As S:F ratio increased, ADG, G:F, dietary net energy, carcass weight, dressing percentage and longissimus thoracis (LM) area increased linearly ($p{\leq}0.02$). Combining urea and a slow-release urea product results in positive effects on growth performance and dietary energetics, but the best responses are apparently observed when there is a certain proportion (S:F ratio = 4:1) of starch to acid detergent fibre in the diet.

The research aims to analyze the firm-specific and macroeconomic factors that affect insurance company's financial performance. The research explores the variables that influence the financial performance of the United Arab Emirates (UAE)' insurance companies. The analysis for determining financial performance considers the following variables: the firm's age, retention ratio, capital adequacy, underwriting risk/loss ratio, financial-leverage, reinsurance dependency, and macro-economic factors such as GDP per capita, inflation rate considered as independent factors. The return-on-asset (ROA) is the key measuring indicator; it is regarded as the dependent variable for financial performance measures. The research focuses on secondary information obtained from insurance companies' financial statements. The researcher targeted 18 insurance companies listed on the UAE stock exchanges for study purposes. The research examines the overall factors that influence the financial performance of an insurance company. For analysis of data, software package of social sciences (SPSS version 20) is used. The studies used correlation and multiple linear regression analysis to determine financial performance and their effects. The analysis suggests that there are important and constructive relationships between the size, capital adequacy, and reinsurance dependency, while loss ratio, retention ratio, and financial leverage indicate a major negative relationship. And there's no link between GDP per capita and inflation.

The effects of nonionic surfactants on detergency and water wetting/retention properties of soiled cotton cloths were reported. Two different soiled cloths were used. soiled cotton cloth 1 was made in the lab. with carbon black, tripalmitin, n-dodecane & palmitic acid on Korea Apparel Testing & Research Institute(KATRI) cotton testcloth and soiled cotton cloth 2(EMPA 101) was purchased from Testfabrics, Inc., USA. The following nonionic surfactants; l.e., Span 20, Tween 20, 40, 60, 80, 21, 61, 81, 65, & 85, were used in the study. The water retention ratio(W/H) values of soiled cotton cloths were decreased, whereas the water contact angle values of soiled cloth were not changed markedly compared with those of unsoiled testcloths. The wetting and water retention of soiled cotton cloth 1 was improved with addition of nonoinic surfactants. The surfactants which have more hydrophilic characterictics or unsaturated hydrophobe tails were effective in improving wetting and water retention properties of soiled cotton cloth 1. The water contact angle values of soiled cotton cloths were extremely low with Span 20, presumably due to the high adsorption density or the surfactant. The detergency of soiled cloths were low in Span 20 and high in Tween 20, 40, 60 & 80 0.1g/dl surfactant solutions. Nonionic surfactants having higher ethylene oxide contents resulted in better detergency. In the range studied, the wetting and water retention of soiled cotton cloths did not show any particular relation to the detergency, whereas the surfactant characteristics, especially HLB values, influenced the detergency of soiled cotton cloths.

본 연구는 유입수의 농도, 수리학적 체류시간 및 F/M비와 슬러지 첨전성과의 상관관계를 새롭게 명확히 밝혀 기존에 제시된 각 처리법 즉 장기포기법, 재래식 활성슬러지법, 고율 활성슬러지법 및 수정포기법의 설계조건이 도출된 원인을 밝히고 동시에 이들 기 제시된 설계조건에 관계없이 설계가 가능함을 확인하기 위한 연구이다. 본 실험은 특히 체류시간과 미생물의 침강성을 중심으로 고찰되었는데, 이는 슬러지의 침강성이 기존 각 처리법의 운전조건을 결정하는 주인자$^{1)}$이기 때문이다. 따라서 각각의 처리법에 대해 제시된 설계범위를 벗어날 경우 슬러지는 팽화하는 것으로 알려져 있으며, 설계의 기초를 제공한 Lesperance$^{1)}$의 실험결과에서도 침강성이 확보되지 않는 부하범위가 발생하는 것으로 나타냈다. 위와 같이 일정 조건에서 슬러지가 팽화하는 원인은 Lesperance가 이전 다년간의 실패와 시도로 밝혀진 연속운전이 가능한 것으로 밝혀진 몇몇의 운전조건을 실험조건으로 채용함에 따라 각각의 체류시간에 해당하는 최적의 부하가 적용되지 않았기 때문이다. 하지만 본 실험결과 부하를 적절히 유지할 경우, F/M비 $6.3kg-BOD/kg-MLSS{\cdot}day$ 이하, HRT 0.67hr 이하의 조건에서 슬러지의 침강성이 SVI치 120 이하로 확보될 수 있음을 확인하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 체류시간과 그에 해당하는 최적 부하를 제시하였으며, 체류시간이 미생물의 침강성에 결정적 영향인자임을 밝히고, 아울러 본 실험결과를 근거로 이제까지 알려진 처리법에서는 적용된 바 없는 1시간 이하의 체류시간에서 고율 활성슬러지법의 적용 부하치를 수 배 능가하는 새로운 운전법 (UHR : Ultra high rate)도 가능함을 제시하였다.

Geotextile composites to improve the weather ability were composed of recycled polyester geotextile with carbon black as ultraviolet stabilizer and polypropylene geotextile by needle-punching method, and evaluated physical properties, ultraviolet resistance and chemical stability. Retention ratio of tensile properties of non woven polypropylene geotextiles were decreased about 50% by the exposed condition with ultraviolet but those of geotextile composites were slightly decreased than polypropylene geotextiles. Geotextile composites which have larger weights of polyester geotextile were more stable against ultraviolet. For chemical stability, the changes of tensile properties of geotextile composites were in the range of -20~＋10% at the various chemical conditions.
