To understand the characteristics of vanadium leaching from soils formed by the weathering of basalts, paleo soil at Gosan, Jeju Island, Korea, and several present-day soils from neighboring areas were collected. Leaching experiments were carried out by two approaches: 1) batch experiments under various geochemical conditions (redox potential (Eh) and pH) and 2) continuous leaching experiments under conditions similar to those of natural environments. From the batch experiments, leached vanadium concentrations were highest under alkaline (NaOH) conditions, with a maximum value of $2,870{\mu}g/L$, and were meaningful (maximum value, $114{\mu}g/L$) under oxidizing ($H_2O_2$) conditions, whereas concentrations under other conditions (acidic-HCl, $neutral-NaHCO_3$, and $reducing-Na_2S_2O_3$) were negligible. This indicated that the geochemical conditions, in which soil-water reactions occurred to form groundwater with high vanadium concentrations, were under alkaline-oxidizing conditions. From the continuous leaching experiments, the pH and leached vanadium concentrations of the solution were in the ranges of 5.45~5.58 and $6{\sim}9{\mu}g/L$, respectively, under $CO_2$ supersaturation conditions for the first 15 days, whereas values under $O_2$ aeration conditions after the next 15 days increased to 8.48~8.62 and $9.7{\sim}12.2{\mu}g/L$, respectively. Vanadium concentrations from the latter continuous leaching experiments were similar to the average concentration of groundwater in Jeju Island ($11.2{\mu}g/L$). Furthermore leached vanadium concentrations in continuous leaching experiments were highly correlated with pH and Al, Cr, Fe, Mn and Zn concentrations. The results of this study showed that 1) alkaline-oxidizing conditions of water-rock (soil) interactions were essential to form vanadium-rich groundwater and 2) volcanic soils can be a potential source of vanadium in Jeju Island groundwater.

Batch and continuous cell retention cultures were carried out using tapioca hydrolysate. In batch culture, reducing sugar of about 180g/$\ell$ was almost consumed in about 36 hours, and the concentration of ethanol produced was about 84g/$\ell$ making the ethanol yield 0.48 g-ethanol/g-(reducing sugar). The final yeast concentration was 8.5${\times}$107 cells/ml(about 2.1g/$\ell$). In a total cell retention culture operated with a dilution rate of 0.18h-1, the yeast concentration, the residual reducing sugar concentration, the ethanol concentration, and the volumetric ethanol productivity were about 40g/$\ell$, about 15g/$\ell$, 81.4g/$\ell$, and 14.7g/$\ell$-h, respectively. In another cell retention culture operated with a dilution rate and a bleed ratio of 0.2h-1 and 0.14, respectively, the yeast concentration increased to 22g/$\ell$ and the ethanol concentration oscillated around 68g/$\ell$. The volumetric ethanol productivity was about 13.6g/$\ell$-h and the residual reducing sugar concentration about 12g/$\ell$ containing glucose of about 4.5g/$\ell$. According to the results of batch fermentation using the solid residue from hydrolysate filtration as the substrate, it seemed to have a certain value. Thus, development of an effective reactor system to produce ethanol from this solid residue is in need.

Since social network service (SNS) has been widely used as a effective way for people to connect and communication with each other, the use of corporate SNS account also has increased. However, compared to a private SNS account, only few people have a continuous relationship with their corporate SNS account because the use of corporate SNS account tends to be one-time and temporary activity whenever the users just need events and information. Given the psychological side effects of using SNS, the relative lack of empirical studies on the impacts of emotional factor in SNS prevents the deeper understanding of the intention to continuous using corporate SNS account. Therefore, this study aims to explore key determinants of the intension to continuous using the corporate SNS account from a habit and emotional perspective. To bridge research gap, we attempt to divide emotional factor into the following 5 factors based on Mehrabian and Russell model (1974): intimacy, enjoyment (positive factor), privacy concern, anxiety (negative factor), arousal (arousal factor) and (dominant factor). The basic model is proposed to explore the effects of habit and emotional factors on the intension to continuous using the corporate SNS account. We then examine how the effects of habit and emotional factors differ depending on social media types (e.g., facebook and twitter). The results indicates that habit is related to emotional factors, and each emotional factor differently influences the intension to continuous using the corporate SNS account. The results also confirm that the effects of the habit and emotional factors on the intension to continuous using the corporate SNS account differ according to social media types. This study provides practical and useful guidance and the strategic marketing insight for managers in maintaining and improving the intension to continuous using the corporate SNS account.

We find a general solution $f:G{\rightarrow}G$ of the symmetric functional equation $$x+f(y+f(x))=y+f(x+f(y)),\;f(0)=0$$ where G is a 2-divisible abelian group. We also prove that there exists no measurable solution $f:\mathbb{R}{\rightarrow}\mathbb{R}$ of the equation. We also find the continuous solutions $f:\mathbb{C}{\rightarrow}\mathbb{C}$ of the equation.

We present the discrete-time version of the heuristic interpretation of the mean waiting time known well about the continuous-time version. The heuristic approach is mainly based on an arriving customer's viewpoint. We obtain the mean waiting time of $Geo^X/G/1$ queueing systems, including vacation queues.

Let (and $g^*$) be the space of regular test (and generalized, resp.) white noise functions. The integral kernel operators acting on and transformation groups of operators on are studied, and then every integral kernel operator acting on can be extended to continuous linear operator on $g^*$. The existence and uniqueness of solutions of Cauchy problems associated with certain integral kernel operators with intial data in $g^*$ are investigated.

We obtain $C^{\infty}$-continuous paths of explicit Riemannian metrics $g_t$, $0{\leq}t$ < ${\varepsilon}$, whose scalar curvatures $s(g_t)$ decrease, where $g_0$ is a flat metric, i.e. a metric with vanishing curvature. Most of them can exist on tori of dimension ${\geq}3$. Some of them yield scalar curvature decrease on a ball in the Euclidean space.

The purpose of this paper is to prove the following result: Let A be a noncom mutative Banach algebra. Suppose that there exist continuous linear Jordan derivations $D:A{\rightarrow}A$, $G:A{\rightarrow}A$ such that [$D^2(x)+G(x)$, $x^n$] lies in the Jacobson radical of A for all $x{\in}A$. Then $D(A){\subset}rad(A)$ and $G(A){\subset}rad(A)$.

We present heuristic interpretations of the mean waiting time of $Geo^X/G/1$ vacation queues with set-up time. The heuristic interpretation of the mean waiting time is originally proposed for the continuous-time queues. We demonstrate that the heuristic approach is useful for the discrete-time queues as well.

David Gavid [3] proved that in many familiar cases the upper semi-finite topology on the set of closed subsets of a space is the largest topology making the coincidence function continuous, when the collection of functions is given the graph topology. Considering G-spaces and taking the coincidence set to consist of points where orbits coincidence, we obtain G-version of many of his results.
