Several process parameters were studied to ascertain the effect on degradation of sugar cane bagasse in relation to the production of cellulase enzyme and reducing sugars by Solid Substrate Fermentation (SSF) and Submerged Culture Fermentation (SCF) of Aspergillus terreus SUK-1. The effect of air-flow rate (0-1.3 v/v/m), of different ratios of substrate weight to liquid volume (1:6, 1:10, 1:20, and 1:30 w/v, g/ml), scale-up effect (10, 20, and 100 times of 1:10 ration, w/v) and the effect of temperature (30, 40, 50, and $60^{\circ}C$) in SSF were studied. Air-flow rate of 1.0 v/v/m gave the highest enzyme activity (FPase 0.25 IU/ml, CMCase 1.24 IU/ml) and reducing sugars concentration (0.72 mg/ml). Experiment using 1:10 ratio (w/v) was found to support maximum cellulase activity (FPase 0.58 IU/ml, CMCase 1.97 IU/ml) and reducing sugar concentration (1.23 mg/ml). Scaling-up the ratio of 1:10(w/v) by a factor of 20 gave the highest cellulase activity (FPase 0.71 IU/ml, CMCase 2.25 IU/ml) and reducing sugar concentration (3.67 mg/ml). The optimum temperature for cellulase activity and reducing sugar production was $50^{\circ}C$(FPase 0.792 IU/ml, CMCase 2.25 IU/ml and 3.85 mg/ml for reducing sugar concentration). For SCF, the activity of cellulase enzyme and reducing sugar concentration was found to be lower than that obtained for SSF. The highest cellulase activity obtained in SCF was 50% lower than the highest cellulase activity in SSF, while for reducing sugar concentration, the highest concentration obtained in SCF was 90% lower than that obtained in SSF.

분리 당화발효(Separate Hydrolysis and Fermentation, SHF)는 당화와 발효공정을 따로 수행하는 방법으로 최종 생성물인 글루코오스에 의해 억제 영향을 받기 때문에 반응에 진행됨에 따라 축적된 글루코오스의 농도가 높아지면 반응이 종결되는 단점이 있다. 이를 극복하기 위해 효소의 양을 늘리는 방법이 있지만, 효소의 생산비용이 비싸기 때문에 경제적인 방법이 될 수 없다. 이러한 분리 당화발효 공정의 단점을 극복하기 위해서 동시당화발효 공정(Simultaneous Saccharification and Fermentation, SSF)은 하나의 반응기에서 당화와 발효를 동시에 수행한다. 동시당화발효 공정에서는 당화과정에서 글루코오스가 생성되자마자 효모가 발효과정을 통해 글루코오스를 바로 제거하기 때문에 반응기내에서 당의 축적을 최소화할 수 있다. 따라서 동시당화발효 공정은 최종 생성물의 억제 작용을 방지할 수 있고, 효소의 가수분해 반응을 향상시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 동시당화발효에서 에탄올의 수율에 관여하는 조건들(pH, 반응온도, 효소 투입량, 반응시간)의 최적 조건을 찾는 연구를 수행하였다. 기질로는 감자전분을 사용하였고, 효소는 glucoamylase, 균주는 Saccharomyces cerevisiae가 각각 사용되었다. 동시당화발효의 최적의 조건은 pH 4, 온도 38로 나타났다. 최적의 조건으로 감자전분을 동시당화발효하였을 때 반응 18시간 후에 에탄올은 최대 수율 86%에 도달하였다.

Trichoderma sp. KI 7-2와 내열성 효모를 이용하여 볏짚에서 ethanol을 생산하기 위한 동시당화-발효의 최적조건을 검토하였다. 발효생산시 고체배양에서의 배지는 밀기울과 볏짚을 3 : 2 로 혼합하고 pH를 4.5로 조절한 수분함량 50%의 고체배지에서 7일간 배양한 koji를 사용했을 때 가장 높은 ethanol이 생산되었다. 기질의 전처리는 ethanol 생산성에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 볏짚의 동시당화-발효를 위해서는 효소량은 볏짚 1g당 2.47units가 요구되며, 발효액중 초기 효모 농도가 2.5$\times$$10^{7}$ cell/$m\ell$이면 충분하였다. 동시당화-발효 과정을 위한 최적 pH와 온도는 각각 4.5와 4$0^{\circ}C$였다. 또한 동시당화-발효액에 다시 기질 또는 효소와 기질을 첨가하여 최종 ethanol 농도를 높일 수 있었다.

As semi-solid forging (SSF) is compared with conventional casting such as gravity die-casting and squeeze casting, the product without inner defects can be obtained from semi-solid forming and globular microstructure as well. Generally, SSF consists of reheating, forging, and ejecting processes. In the reheating process, the materials are heated up to the temperature between the solidus and liquidus line at which the materials exists in the form of liquid-solid mixture. The process variables such as reheating time, reheating temperature, reheating holding time, and induction heating power has large effect on the quality of the reheated billets. It is difficult to consider all the variables at the same time for predicting the quality. In this paper, Taguchi method, regression analysis and neural network were applied to analyze the relationship between processing conditions and solid fraction. A356 alloy was used for the present study, and the learning data were extracted from the reheating experiments. Results by neural network were in good agreement with those by experiment. Polynominal regression analysis was formulated using the test data from neural network. Optimum processing condition was calculated to minimize the grain size and solid fraction standard deviation or to maximize the specimen temperature average. Discussion is given about reheating process of row material and results are presented with regard to accurate process variables fur proper solid fraction, specimen temperature and grain size.

Black liquor (BL) is a by-product of rice straw pulping process. It is a low costs raw material for production value-adding proteins and enzymes, which has been paid more and more attention to reduce its environmental pollution. Mixed cultures of micelial fungi, Trichoderma reesei Northern Regional Research Laboratory (NRRL)11236, Trichoderma reesei NRRL 6165 and Aspergillus niger strains NRC 5A, NRC 7A, and NRC 9A were evaluated for their ability to produce xylanase using crude hemicellulose (CHC) prepared from BL and peat moss as an inert support under solid state fermentation (SSF). The most potent strains, A. niger NRC 9A (818.26 U/g CHC) and T. reesei NRRL 6165 ($100.9{\pm}57.14$ U/g CHC), were used in a mixed culture to enhance xylanase production by co-culturing under SSF. In the mixed culture, xylanase production ($1070.52{\pm}12.57$ U/g CHC) was nearly1.3 and 10.6-fold increases over the activities attained in their monocultures, A. niger NRC 9A and T. reesei NRRL 6165, respectively. Optimization of the culture parameters of the mixed culture SSF process, concentration of ammonium sulfate and corn steep liquor, CHC/peat moss ratio, inoculum size and ratios of the two strains, initial pH value, initial moisture content and incubation time, exhibited a significant increase ($2414.98{\pm}84.02$ U/g CHC) in xylanase production than before optimization.

Slow sand filtration (SSF) was the first engineered/mechanical filtration process used in drinking water treatment. In SSF, untreated water slowly percolate through a bed of porous sand. Biological activity within the sand bed have the strongest influence on removal efficiency of pollutants by slow sand filtration. In this study, the microbial population distributions in slow sand filters operated at the various operation conditions was evaluated. The concentrations of $10^4$ to $10^5$ CFU per g dry wt. were observed. No significant differences were seen between the number of filter-covered materials. The data indicate that the temperature has affect on population distribution. Also, the light exposure was influenced on microorganism in slow sand filtration according to the heterotropic plate counts. The role of microorganism within the sand media requires further study.

Two strains of yeast (RA-74-2 and RA-912) showing superior fermenting ability at a high temperature were isolated from soils and wastewaters by an enrichment culture method. Based on the morphological and physiological charateristics, the two strains were identified as Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Kluyveromyces marxianus, respectively. RA-74-2 was able to grow upto $43^{\circ}C$ and sustain similar fermenting ability in the temperatures range from 30 to $40^{\circ}C$. In addition, the sugar- and ethanol-tolerance of RA-74-2 were 30% (w/v) glucose and 10% (v/v) ethanol, which appeared to be higher than those of nine other industrial yeast strains currently being used in the alcohol factories. The thermotolerant ethanol fermenting yeast RA-912 showed identical growth in the temperatures range from 35 to $45^{\circ}C$ and was resistant to various heavy metals. The quality and quantity of byproducts of the isolated yeast strains in fermentation broth after fermentation at $40^{\circ}C$ and $45^{\circ}C$ were similiar with those obtained at $30^{\circ}C$. These results show that RA-74-2 can be adopted for the ethanol fermentation process where the expenses for cooling system is significant, and suggest that RA-912 may be applied in either SSF(simultaneous saccharification and fermentation) or Flash-fermentation process and RA-912 may be used as a gene donor for the development of thermotolerant ethanol-fermenting yeasts.

가상 공격을 수행하고 이에 따른 네트워크의 행동 변화를 시뮬레이션하기 위하여는 네트워크 구성요소들의 특성을 시뮬레이션 모델에 반영할 수 있어야 하며, 다양한 사이버 공격과 이를 방어하는 시스템들의 특성을 표현할 수 있어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 사이버 공격시 네트워크의 부하가 어떻게 변하는지를 실험하기 위하여, 프로세스 기반 사건 중심 시뮬레이션 시스템인 SSF[9, 10]를 확장 구현하였다. 사이버 공격을 시뮬레이션하기 위해 보안 관련 클래스인 방화벽과 공격용 프로그램을 작성하기 위한 도구들의 모임인 패킷 조작기를 SSF의 구성요소인 SSFNet에 새로이 추가하였다. 이는 보안 체계를 가진 네트워크를 시뮬레이션 가능하게 할 뿐 아니라, 기존 사이버 공격 프로그램을 쉽게 이식하여 시뮬레이션에 적용할 수 있는 장점을 제공한다. 추가된 클래스들의 작동을 검증하기 위하여 가상 네트워크를 구성한 후, 대표적인 서비스-거부 공격인 smurf 공격을 시뮬레이션하고, 이 때의 네트워크의 행동 변화를 관찰하였다. 실험 결과 본 연구에 의하여 개발된 방화벽이나 패킷 조작기가 정상적으로 작동됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

In the reheating process, the materials are heated up to the temperature between the solidus and liquidus line at which the materials exists in the form of liquid-solid mixture.

Polynominal regression analysis was formulated by using the test data from neural network. Optimum processing condition was calculated to minimize the grain size, solid fraction standard deviation, otherwise, to maximize the specimen temperature average. In this time, discussion is liven about reheating process of row material and results are presented with regard to accurate process variables for proper solid fraction, specimen temperature and grain size.

A commercially important alkaline protease, produced by Bacillus sp. RRM1 isolated from the red seaweed Kappaphycus alvarezii (Doty) Doty ex Silva, was first recognized and characterized in the present study. Identification of the isolated bacterium was done using both biochemical characterization as well as 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The bacterial strain, Bacillus sp. RRM1, produced a high level of protease using easily available, inexpensive agricultural residues solid-state fermentation (SSF). Among them, wheat bran was found to be the best substrate. Influences of process parameters such as moistening agents, moisture level, temperature, inoculum concentration, and co-carbon and co-nitrogen sources on the fermentation were also evaluated. Under optimized conditions, maximum protease production (i.e., 2081 U/g) was obtained from wheat bran, which is about 2-fold greater than the initial conditions. The protease enzyme was stable over a temperature range of 30-$60^{\circ}C$ and pH 6-12, with maximum activity at $50^{\circ}C$ and pH 9.0. Whereas the metal ions $Na^+$, $Ca^{2+}$, and $K^+$ enhanced the activity of the enzyme, others such as $Hg^{2+}$, $Cu^{2+}$, $Fe^{2+}$, $Co^{2+}$, and $Zn^{2+}$ had rendered negative effects. The activity of the enzyme was inhibited by EDTA and enhanced by $Cu^{2+}$ ions, thus indicating the nature of the enzyme as a metalloprotease. The enzyme showed extreme stability and activity even in the presence of detergents, surfactants, and organic solvents. Moreover, the present findings opened new vistas in the utilization of wheat bran, a cheap, abundantly available, and effective waste as a substrate for SSF.
