The reduction behavior of silver ions to silver nanoparticles is an important research topic in polymer/silver salt complex membranes for facilitated olefin transport, because it has a significant effect on the long-term stability of membrane performance. In this study, the effects of solvent on the formation of silver nanoparticles and long-term membrane performance in polymer/silver salt complex membrane were investigated. This effect was assessed for the complexes of poly(N-vinyl pyrrolidone) $(PVP)/AgBF_{4}$ with the use of ionic liquid (IL), acetonitrile (ACN) and water as a solvent. Membrane performance test shows that long-term stability is strongly dependent on the kind of solvent and arranged: IL > ACN >> water.

A Cu(II) complex with an three nitrogens and one sulfur coordination environment was synthesized and characterized. Its redox potential was observed at 0.483 V vs. NHE, very similar to that of a Cu-containing fungal enzyme, galactose oxidase, which catalyzes the oxidation of alcohols to corresponding aldehydes with the concomitant reduction of molecular oxygen to water. The Cu(II) complex selectively oxidizes the benzylic alcohols using TEMPO/$O_2$ under mild reaction conditions to corresponding aldehydes without forming any over-oxidation product. Moreover, the catalyst can be recovered and reused multiple times for further oxidation reactions, thus minimizing the waste generation.

An acoustic transmission loss analysis method for mufflers with complex geometry is developed using MSC/NASTRAN on the basis of acoustic-structural analogy and two-microphone method. In this study, mufflers with simple and complex shapes are analyzed using this method and compared with theoretical and experimental results to verify it. Applying this method to design of discharge muffler in a rotary compressor, we obtained 2dB(A) of noise reduction in the range of lower than 1300Hz. Futhermore, adopting this technique for a suction muffler in reciprocal compressor, more than 10dB(A) noise reduction at 500Hz, and in total, 3dB(A) noise reduction is achieved.

Polarization filtering based on the multicomponent complex trace analysis method is performed to reject Rayleigh waves and to enhance S waves. To test the polarization filter, synthetic seismic data were constructed for a simple two-layer model based on the finite difference method. Rayleigh waves with elliptic motion are eliminated effectively and P and S waves with linear motions are well separated each other.

The glandular secretory system of the capitate gandular trichomes in leaf of Thymus quinquecostatus Celakovsky was examined by transmission electron microscope. The glandular trichome was consisted of three cell layers; an basal cell layer, a stalk cell with single-celled intermediate layer and a discoid secretory layer with thickened cuticle. The secretory cell was dense, rich in mitochondria, rER, plastds, Golgi complex and had many vesicular structure. Typical plastids with reticulate body and plastoglobule were present in glandular trichome. The tytoplasm of secretory cell was filled with osmiophilic secretory materials. The secretory vesicles, originated from Golgi complex, appeared as membrane bounded vesicles and secreted to the outer wall surface. The presences of well developed rER, mitochondria, Golgi complex, and membrane-bounded vesicles fused with plasmalemma in the secreting cells indicate that the granulocrine mechanism of secretion was occurring in T. quinquecostatus. Subcuticular cavity was developed between the cuticular layer and the secretory cell wall, and it formed above the secretory cell upon separation of cuticle-wall.

The huge amount of solvents used in the semi-conductor and display industry typically result in waste of valuable solvents which often form complex azeotropic mixtures. This study explored a recovery process of a quaternary waste solvent, comprising methyl 2-hydroxybutyrate, propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, ethyl lactate, and ethyl-3-ethoxy propionate. In this study, a novel shortcut column method with a graphical approach was exploited for the distillation column design of complex quaternary azeotropic mixtures. As a result, the proposed shortcut method and design procedure solved the complex separation paths successfully with less computational efforts while achieving all requirements for component purity.

Recently, for successful lactation, many breastfeeding mothers seek various products, including herbal medicine, dietary supplements, and prescribed medicines, to improve milk production. As demand for galactogogues grows, it is highly possible that pharmaceutical galactogogues may be adulterated with illegal products to maximize their efficacy. For continuous control and supervision of illegal products, we developed and validated a simple and sensitive LC-MS/MS method capable of simultaneously determining five galactogogues. Chromatographic separation was conducted using an Agilent Poroshell $120SB-C_{18}$ column with a mobile phase consisting of 20 mM ammonium formate (pH 5.4) and 100 % acetonitrile. The total run time was 13 min per analyte. The proposed method was performed according to the guidelines of the International Conference of Harmonization and it produced reliable results. This method showed high sensitivity and specificity, with a limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ) of 0.01-0.82 ng/mL and 0.02-2.45 ng/mL, respectively, for the solid- and liquid-type samples. Specificity was evaluated by analyzing matrix-blank samples spiked with the target compounds at LOQ levels, which provided a good separation of all peaks without interference. Additionally, the repeatability and intermediate precision were typically <15 %, whereas the recovery was 80-120 % of the values obtained using blank samples. Thus, we concluded that this method could be used for the identification and quantification of galactogogues in food or herbal products.

This study does try to proceed on the assumption that complex buildings can vitalize urban life of contemporary society from contemporary complexity and cases of past failure. The scope of investigation on complex buildings in Sangju built in 1990s' and 2000s' on this thesis is that site size is 400 square meter, total area 1500 square meter, and the number of stories on the ground below 5 floor. Method of investigation on twenty one buildings which have been built on new C.B.D. between the Namwon avenue and the Joongang 1th street in Sangju is through field investigation, field photographs, recordings and drawings on these buildings. Investigative contents have been divided and analysized into physical and functional elements in urban and architectural dimension. On the basis of these results, the future planning approach of complex buildings in medium and small cities has been considered into planning principles of convenience of building use and efficiency of site size, physical plans reflected on the traffic and pedestrian movings and the face of buildings, pedestrian resting space-creation like plazas and central gardens, regional character reflected with urban context, and separation and union of approached movings interrelated among the components.

The annual energy production of Gangwon wind farm was predicted for three consecutive years of 2007, 2008 and 2009 using commercial programs, WindPRO and WindSim which are known to be used the most for wind resource prediction in the world. The predictions from the linear code, WindPRO, were compared with both the actual energy prediction presented in the CDM (Clean Development Mechanism) monitoring report of the wind farm and also the predictions from the CFD code, WindSim. The results from WindPRO were close to the actual energy productions and the errors were within 11.8% unlike the expectation. The reason for the low prediction errors was found to be due to the fact that although the wind farm is located in highly complex terrain, the terrain steepness was smaller than a critical angle($21.8^{\circ}$) in front of the wind farm in the main wind direction. Therefore no flow separation was found to occur within the wind farm. The flow separation of the main wind was found to occur mostly behind the wind farm.

The separation and determination of boron with chromotropic acid (1,8-Dihydroxynaphthalene-3,6-disulfonic acid) as a complex agent has been studied using ion pair liquid chromatography. The use of tetrabutylammonium bromide added as an ion pair reagent to mobile phase (MeOH 61%, phosphate buffer 39% pH=8.5) allowed good separation of boron-chromotrophic acid complex anion and chromotrophic acid on poly(styrene-divinylbenzene) based reversed phase column (PRP-1, 15 $cm{\times}4.6$ mm i.d.). The complex formation between boric acid and chromotrophic acid was enhanced in the presence of 0.1 M tetrabutylammonium bromide, resulting in high sensitivity. The linear calibration was achieved over the boron concentration range of 0.5∼1000 ${\mu}g/L.$ The detection limit was 0.5 ${\mu}g/L$ (S/N=2). The proposed method was applied to the determination of boron in commercially available chemicals, $Na_2SO_4$, NaOH, KCl.
