Kinetic and effectiveness factors for methanol steam reforming using commercial copper-containing catalysts in a plug flow reactor were investigated over the temperature ranges of $180-250^{\circ}C$ at atmospheric pressure. The selectivity of $CO_2$/$H_2$ was almost 100%, and CO products were not observed under reaction conditions employed in this work. It was indicated that $CO_2$ was directly produced and CO was formed via the reverse water gas shift reaction after methanol steam reforming. The intrinsic kinetics for such reactions were well described by the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model based on the dual-site mechanism. The six parameters in this model, including the activation energy of 103kJ/mol, were estimated from diffusion-free data. The significant effect of internal diffusion was observed for temperature higher than $230^{\circ}C$ or particle sizes larger than 0.36mm. In the diflusion-limited case, this model combined with internal effectiveness factors was also found to be good agreement with experimental data.

이 논문에서는 계산 속도를 개선한 확산모형 분석 도구 SNUDM-G를 소개한다. 확산모형은 다양한 인지과제를 설명하는 데에 적용되어 왔음에도 불구하고 계산적 어려움으로 인해 사용에 제한이 있었다. 특히 확산모형 분석 도구 중 하나인 SNUDM(고성룡 등, 2020)은 확산과정을 근사할 때 2만 개의 자료를 순차적으로 생성하기 때문에 처리 속도 면에서 단점이 있다. 이러한 한계를 극복하기 위해 확산과정을 무작위걷기 방법으로 근사하는 과정에서 그래픽처리장치(GPU)를 사용할 것을 제안한다. 그래픽처리장치를 사용하면 2만 개의 자료를 병렬로 생성할 수 있기 때문에 순차처리로 자료를 생성하는 것에 비해 분석의 속도를 높일 수 있다. GPU를 사용한 SNUDM-G와 CPU를 사용한 SNUDM으로 Ratcliff 등 (2004)의 실험 1 자료를 분석하고 매개변수 복구를 한 결과 SNUDM-G가 SNUDM보다 특정 매개변수에서 다소 높은 값을 추정하였으나, 계산 속도 면에서는 큰 차이로 SNUDM-G가 SNUDM보다 더 빠르게 매개변수를 추정하였다. 이 결과는 이 도구를 이용하여 다양한 인지 과제에 대해 보다 효율적인 확산모형 분석이 가능할 것임을 보여주며, 더 나아가 앞으로 그래픽처리장치를 이용하여 다양한 인지 모형의 처리 속도를 개선할 수 있음을 시사한다.

This paper investigate that the effect of the concrete containing mineral admixtures(pozzolanic materials such as fly-ash, ground granulated blast-furnace slag, silica fume and meta kaolin) on the resistance properties to chloride ion invasion. The purposed testing procedure was applied to the concrete added mineral admixtures for $3\sim4$ replacement ratios under W/B ratios ranged from 0.40 to 0.55. Specimens were immersed in $3.6\%$ NaCl solution for 330 days, and penetration depth, water soluble chloride contents and acid soluble chloride contents were measured in 28, 91, 182 and 330 days. Then, diffusion coefficient were calculated using total chloride contents. As a results. the kinds of mineral admixture and replacement ratios had a great effect on the resistance property of the concrete to chloride ion invasion compared with the plain concrete. And the optimal replacement ratios of mineral admixture had a limitation for each admixtures. The amount of acid soluble chloride ions and water soluble chloride ions were varied with the kinds of mineral admixtures and the penetration depth from the concrete skin. Chloride diffusion coefficient of each concretes decreased with the time elapsed. and the diffusion coefficients of the concrete immersed salt water for 330 days had a establishment with the compressive strength measured before immersing.

The $Li-O_2$ battery has been attracting much attention recently, due to its very high theoretical capacity compared with Li-ion chemistries. Nevertheless, several studies within the last few years revealed that Li-ion derived electrolytes based on alkyl carbonate solvents, which have been commonly used in the last 27 years, are irreversibly consumed at the $O_2$ electrode. Accordingly, more stable electrolytes are required capable to operate with both the Li metal anode and the $O_2$ cathode. Thus, due to their favorable properties such as non volatility, chemical inertia, and favorable behavior toward the Li metal electrode, ionic liquid-based electrolytes have gathered increasing attention from the scientific community for its application in $Li-O_2$ batteries. However, the scale-up of Li-$O_2$ technology to real application requires solving the mass transport limitation, especially for supplying oxygen to the cathode. Hence, the 'LABOHR' project proposes the introduction of a flooded cathode configuration and the circulation of the electrolyte, which is then used as an oxygen carrier from an external $O_2$ harvesting device to the cathode for freeing the system from diffusion limitation.

Background: Exercise capacity is associated with lung function decline in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients, but a discrepancy between exercise capacity and airflow limitation exists. This study aimed to explore factors contributing to this discrepancy in COPD patients. Methods: Data for this prospective study were obtained from the Korean COPD Subgroup Study. The exercise capacity and airflow limitation were assessed using the 6-minute walk distance (6-MWD; m) and forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV₁). Participants were divided into four groups: FEV₁ >50%+6-MWD >350, FEV₁ >50%+6-MWD ≤350, FEV₁ ≤50%+6-MWD >350, and FEV₁ ≤50%+6-MWD ≤350 and their clinical characteristics were compared. Results: A total of 883 patients (male:female, 822:61; mean age, 68.3±7.97 years) were enrolled. Among 591 patients with FEV₁ >50%, 242 were in the 6-MWD ≤350 group, and among 292 patients with FEV₁ ≤50%, 185 were in the 6-MWD >350 group. The multiple regression analyses revealed that male sex (odds ratio [OR], 8.779; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.539 to 50.087; p=0.014), current smoking status (OR, 0.355; 95% CI, 0.178 to 0.709; p=0.003), and hemoglobin levels (OR, 1.332; 95% CI, 1.077 to 1.648; p=0.008) were significantly associated with discrepancies in exercise capacity and airflow limitation in patients with FEV₁ >50%. Meanwhile, in patients with FEV₁ ≤50%, diffusion capacity of carbon monoxide (OR, 0.945; 95% CI, 0.912 to 0.979; p=0.002) was significantly associated with discrepancies between exercise capacity and airflow limitation. Conclusion: The exercise capacity of COPD patients may be influenced by factors other than airflow limitation, so these aspects should be considered when assessing and treating patients.

Glucose oxidase from A. niger was entrapped in polyacrylamide gel which was used in the enzyme electrode for glucose analysis. The electrode was assembled by placing the gel between the membranes on the surface of a Clark type electrode. In order to make it possible to analyze the experimental results later, the stagnation flow was adopted wheree the governing fluid mechanics were well known. The current increased with the increase concentration in the bulk below a certain level of glucose concentration beyond which no more current increase was observed. This is probably due to the diffusion limitation of oxygen from the bulk solution. Also the current increased witll the enzyme loading in the gel, but the linearity between the current and the glucose concentration was rather limited to a narrow range. Flow rate was found to be very important, which means that film diffusion is very important under the flow rate of 5cm/sec. As a conclusion, enzyme loading, gel layer thickness, stirring speed and bulk concentration of glucose were found to be most improtant parameters in yielding a linar current reponse with respect to the bulk glucose concentration.

Peroxide is used frequently to provide electron acceptors to aerobes for the purpose of in situ bioremediation of contaminated soil/sediment. In this study, oxygen release rate of peroxides and factors affecting on dissolution and diffusion of oxygen into pore water were evaluated. Peroxides studied in this study were magnesium peroxide ($MgO_2$), calcium peroxide ($CaO_2$), and sodium percarbonate ($Na_2CO_3{\cdot}1.5H_2O_2$). $Na_2CO_3{\cdot}1.5H_2O_2$ showed the highest oxygen release rate per unit mass and the shortest release duration time among three peroxides. A simple first-order decay model for predicting the release rate of oxygen from peroxide into pore water was presented and used to fit the experimental data. The first order oxygen release rate constants k for $MgO_2$, $CaO_2$ and $Na_2CO_3{\cdot}1.5H_2O_2$ were 0.45 /hr, 3.22 /hr and 134 /hr, respectively. If $MgO_2$ was mixed with clay, oxygen release rate was lowered significantly mainly due to limitation of contact area and diffusion, implying that oxygen can be provided to the indigenous aerobes for the extended period of time.

As the majority of incidentally detected lesions in the anterior mediastinum is small nodules with soft tissue appearance, the differential diagnosis has typically included thymic neoplasm and prevascular lymph node, with benign cyst. Overestimation or misinterpretation of these lesions can lead to unnecessary surgery for ultimately benign conditions. Diagnosing mediastinal cysts using MRI serves as a problem-solving modality in distinguishing between surgical and nonsurgical anterior mediastinal lesions. The pitfalls of MRI evaluation for anterior mediastinal cystic lesions are as follows: first, we acknowledge the limitation of T2-weighted images for evaluating benign cystic lesions. Due to variable contents within benign cystic lesions, such as hemorrhage, T2 signal intensity may be variable. Second, owing to extensive necrosis and cystic changes, the T2 shine-through effect may be seen on diffusion-weighted images (DWI), and small solid portions might be missed on enhanced images. Therefore, both enhancement and DWI with apparent diffusion coefficient values should be considered. An algorithm will be suggested for the diagnostic evaluation of anterior mediastinal cystic lesions, and finally, a management strategy based on MRI features will be suggested.

본 연구는 콘크리트의 시공성 및 역학적 특성을 향상시키기 위하여 사용되는 혼화재료(플라이애쉬, 고로슬래그미분말, 실리카퓸 및 메타카올린)를 해양환경에 노출되는 콘크리트에 적용할 경우, 혼화재료가 콘크리트의 내염성능 향상에 미치는 영향을 검토하기 위하여 비교적 단기간에 평가할 수 있는 전기적 촉진시험방법을 사용하여 혼화재 종류 및 치환율, 물-결합재비, 재령에 따른 염화물 확산계수를 비교$\cdot$평가하였다. 혼화재 종류 및 치환율에 따른 염화물 확산계수 평가결과 물-결합재비 수준에 따라 성능의 차이는 있지만 각 혼화재별로 염화물 침투저항성이 우수한 치환율 수준이 있는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 염화물확산계수는 물-결합재비 수준에 따른 영향과 더불어 적정의 치환율을 적용한 혼화재의 사용에 의해서도 현저하게 저감시킬 수 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 시간의 경과와 함께 염화물 확산계수도 감소되는 시간의존적인 특성은 혼화재 종류 및 치환율에 의해 영향을 받는 것으로 사료된다. 압축강도와 염화물 확산계수는 반비례의 관계를 보이고 있으며, 본 연구의 범위에서 보면 50MPa 이하영역에서는 염화물 확산계수는 압축강도 발현특성과 더불어 혼화재 사용 및 치환율에 따른 영향도 크게 나타나고 있어, 향후 염해 환경하에서 내구성을 고려한 구조물 설계시 보다 정확한 내구성능 평가를 위해서는 압축강도 발현특성 검토와 더불어 염화물 확산계수의 평가가 이루어져야 할 것으로 사료된다.
