The electric charge on a membrane was investigated by analyzing the experimental rejection of various monovalent and divalent ionic solutes. The characteristics of the separation of ionic solutes using various nanofiltration membranes were obtained from an experimental nanofiltration set-up, with a surface area of $40cm^2$ under the operational pressures between 0.25-0.3 MPa. The state of the membrane electric charge was observed using separation coefficients, i.e., the permeation ratio of monovalent to divalent ions. To confirm the state of the membrane charge observed via the separation coefficient, a calculation using the extended Nernst-Planck equation, coupled with the Donnan equilibrium, assuming different electric charge states of the membrane, was compared with the experimental rejection of ionic solutes. The examination of the characteristics of separation using three types of nanofiltration membranes showed that one of the membranes carried a negative/positive double charge density inside, while other two membranes carried either a positive or negative charge density.

커들란은 용액의 pH 7.0에서 salt 상태로 존재하기 때문에 커들란만이 액상에 녹아 있는 경우에는 분리공정은 원심분리를 함으로써 분리가 가능하다. 그러나, 세포외 다당류로 생산된 커들란읜 세포, 염 의 무기물이 섞여 있기 때문에 이러한 물질을 제거하는 것이 커들란 분리의 중요한 변수가 되었다. 커들란의 생산을 위한 분리에 관한 보고는 원심분리 방법을 이용한 것으로 알려져 있음 세포 및 불순물 등을 제거하여 순수한 커들란을 분리하기 위해 pH swing separation (pH가 높은 경우 커들란이 용액에 녹는 성질을 이용)을 이용하였으나 원심분리를 수 차례 반복해야 되기 때문에 소요되는 동력이 많이 필요하여 에너지 절감형 및 오염절감형의 새로운 공정의 개발이 필요하게 되었다. 온 연구에서는 pH swing separation 에서 동력비가 많은 드는 단점을 감소시키기위하여 커들란의 물리 화학적인 특성을 고려한 분리공정을 개발하였다. 향후 공정 개선을 위한 지속적인 연구가 필요하며 완성시 경제적이 공정을 개발하는 것이 가능할 것이다.

We are crystallized to the linear low density polyethylene(LLDPE) particles by a thermally induced phase separation(TIPS). TIPS process based on the phase separation mechanism was performed for the LLDPE system which undergoes liquid-solid phase separation. The linear low density polyethylene particle formation occurred by the nucleation and growth mechanism in the metastable region. Although the growth rates depended on the experimental conditions such as the polymer concentration and temperature, the particles were larger when the polymer concentration was higher or temperature was higher. The particles were observed by SEM. The LLDPE particle size distribution became broader when the polymer concentration was higher.

In this study, we are crystallized to the low density polyethylene (LDPE) micro-particles in $n$-dodecanol solution by thermally induced phase separation(TIPS) method. The Low density polyethylene micro-particles is used in a wide variety of polymer coatings and industrial application. The utility of that for a particular application depends on a number of factors such as the particle size and distribution, and chemical composition of the materials. However, there are still needs for new methods of preparation which will provide the structure with unique sizes. The widely used processes for micro-size particles are crystallization method and thermally induced phase separation. TIPS process based on the phase separation mechanism was performed for the LDPE system which undergoes liquid-solid phase separation. Effects of various operating parameters were examined on the structure variation of the particles. Professionality, take-up speed and crystallization rate depended on temperature and concentration of polymer in solution.

Maximum likelihood (ML) is the best estimator asymptotically as the number of training samples approaches infinity. This paper deduces an adaptive algorithm for blind signal processing problem based on gradient optimization criterion. A parametric density model is introduced through a parameterized generalized distribution family in ML framework. After specifying a limited number of parameters, the density of specific original signal can be approximated automatically by the constructed density function. Consequently, signal separation can be conducted without any prior information about the probability density of the desired original signal. Simulations on classical biomedical signals confirm the performance of the deduced technique.

The phase separation of low-alkali borosilicate glass with the composition of $6.25Na_2O$.$18.75B_2O_3$.$75.00SiO_2$(mole%) substituting $Li_2O$ for $Na_2O$ was studied. The phase separation in the temperature range of transformation was examined with various heating temperatures and soaking times. Durability to water, thermal expansion and specific density of the specimen were investigated and the microstructure of the separated phase was also observed by transmission electron micrograph techniques. The maximum alkali extraction result with the best phase separation effect was obtained when $Na_2O$ of the base glass was replaced with $1.88Li_2O$ (mole %) and electron micrograph of carbon film replica of $1.88Li_2O$$4.37Na_2O$.$18.75B_2O_3$.$75.00SiO_2$ (mole %) glass showed that the glass consisted of homogeneous two phases. The minimum specific density was shown with the specimen treated at 57$0^{\circ}C$ and it was also shown that the longer the treating time the lower the specific density. The apparent activation energies of approximately 45 kcal/mole by the alkali extraction and 43kcal/mole by the thermal expansion method were derived from the Arrhenius plots, respectively.

We demonstrate improved surface pit and phase separation in thick InGaN grown on a GaN/Si (111) substrate, using plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy with an indium modulation technique. The formation of surface pit and compositional inhomogeneity in the InGaN epilayer are investigated using atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and temperature-dependent photoluminescence. Indium elemental mapping directly reveals that poor compositional homogeneity occurs near the pits. The indium-modulation epitaxy of InGaN minimizes the surface indium segregation, leading to the reduction in pit density and size. The phase separation in InGaN with a higher pit density is significantly suppressed, suggesting that the pit formation and the phase separation are correlated. We propose an indium migration model for the correlation between surface pit and phase separation in InGaN.

표면층에 치밀층 구배 구조를 갖는 비대칭 폴리에테르이미드막에 대하여 치밀 구조층의 화학적 개질을 통한 막 형태의 변화와 물/이소프로판올 혼합액의 투과증발 거동을 연구하였다. 치밀 정도는 증발 시간에 의해 조절되었고, 증발 시간이 0분에서 4분으로 증가되었을 때, 투과량은 감소하였고, 선택도는 증가하였다. 또한, 수산화나트륨 용액으로 개질 된 폴리에테르이미드막을 통한 투과증발 거동은, 치밀 표면층의 개질 시간이 증가될수록 선택성은 증가하였고, 투과량은 감소하였다. 전자현미경으로 확인된 형태 변화는 개질 시간의 증가에 따라 치밀 표면층의 density 증가를 보여주었고, 이러한 결과는 위의 관찰들과 일치하였다.

This study is concerned with the relation between steelbelt width and belt edge separation of a tire. Belt edge separation causes tire burst and threatens passenger's safety. For the reason, it is important to predict durability caused by belt edge separation in the early stage of the tire structure design. Usually, passenger car tires have two layers of steelbelts having opposite steel cord's angles, which makes a shear behaviour between each belt layer. Shear behaviour is one of reason to cause belt edge separation. In this study, to predict belt edge separation, we suggested the prediction method of belt edge separation and evaluated the effect of steelbelt width on the belt edge separation using FEM. We also studied on main parameters to affect shear behaviour at the belt edge area.

본 연구에서는 엔트로피를 이용한 독립성분분석(ICA : Independent Component Analysis)에서 점수함수(score function)를 생성하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 점수함수를 생성하기 위해서 원 신호(original signals)에 대한 확률밀도함수의 추정이 반드시 필요하고 밀도함수가 미분 가능해야 한다. 따라서 원 신호에 따른 적응적인 점수 함수를 유도할 수 있도록 커널 기반의 밀도추정(kernel density estimation)방법을 사용하였으며, 보다 빠른 밀도 추정 계산을 위해서 식의 형태를 컨볼루션(convolution) 변환 한 후, 컨볼루션을 빠르게 계산할 수 있는 FFT(Fast Fourier Transform) 알고리즘을 이용하였다. 제안한 점수함수 생성 방법은 원 신호에 확률밀도분포와 추정된 신호의 확률밀도 분포의 오차를 줄이는 역할을 한다 실험 결과, 암묵신호분리(blind source separation)문제에서 기존의 Extended Infomax 알고리즘과 Fixed Point ICA 보다 원 신호와 유사한 밀도함수를 추정하였고, 분리된 신호의 신호대잡음비등(SNR)에 있어서 향상된 성능을 얻을 수 있었다.
