The purpose of this study was to determine protein amino acid contents of some Korean foods by gas-liquid chromatography, and to evaluate this technique as a procedure for the quantitative determination of amino acids in foods. The crude protein content of foods was also estimated from the nitrogen content. 1. Nitrogen content of each food sample was determined previously to adjust the amount of sample for GLC analysis 2. In the analysis of 17 known amino acids, a linear relationship was found between the weight of 13 amino acids of 17 amino acids, the internal standard as well as the injection volume of a mixture and the detector responses for the derivatives of the amino acids. No response for arginine, cystein, histidine, and tyrosine was observed. 3. The relative molar response (RMR) values for the 13 amino acids of standard solution relative to glutamic acid as '1.00' were obtained under normal operating conditions with a hydrogen flame ionization detector. 4. The recovery of amino acids from their mixtures with natural food materials was carried out. The recoveries were essentially quantitative except threonine and serine. An overall mean recovery of 11 amino acids was $101.4{\pm}8.4$ per cent before hydrolysis and $98.1{\pm}8.7$ per cent after hydrolysis of samples. 5. The comparative analysis of the acid hydrolysates of two food samples by gas-liquid and ion-exchange chromatographic analysis were carried out. In white-bait pemmican, only threonine and asparagine amounts by GLC analysis had similar values to those obtained by ion-exchange chromatography. The other seven amino acids gave higher values as measured by GLC than by ion-exchange. With the food sample, soybean, alanine, valine, asparagine, and glutamic acid were in good agreement in two analysis, while leucine, proline, threonine, phenylalanine, and lysine were found in slightly higher concentrations in the GLC analysis. 6. Grant variations of amino acid content were found among samples analyzed. The amino acid contents of each sample were compared with the values found in the literature.

A kraft recovery boiler produces steam for power generation by the combustion of black liquor from the kraft pulping process. Since saturated steam became superheated in a superheater above the furnace, it is important to increase the heat exchange efficiency for the superheated steam production and power generation. A nose arch at the bottom of the superheater is important for blocking radiation from the furnace which causes corrosion of the superheater. But the nose arch is the main reason for creating a recirculation region and then decreasing the heat exchange efficiency by holding cold flue gas after the heat transfer to saturated steam. In this study, the size of recirculation region and the temperature of flue gas at the outlet were analyzed by the nose arch structure using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). As a result, when the nose arch angle changed from 106.5° (case 1) to 150° (case4), the recirculation region of flue gas decreased and the heat exchange efficiency between the flue gas and the steam increased by 10.3%.

Gas flux across the air-sea interface is often determined by the product of gas transfer velocity k) and the difference of concentrations in water and air. k is primarily controlled by wind stress on the air-sea interface, thus all parameterizations ofk involve wind speed, a rough indicator of wind stress, as one of the independent variables. We attempted to explore the spatial and temporal variations of k in the East (Japan) Sea using a database from Naet al. (1992). Three different parameterizations were employed: those of Liss and Merlivat (1986), Wanninkhof(1992), and Wanninkhofand McGillis (1999). The strong non-linear dependence of k on wind speed in all parameterizations leads us to examine the effect of time resolution, in which the binned wind speeds are averaged, on the estimation ofk. Two time resolutions of 12 hours (short-term) and one month (long-term) were chosen. The mean wind speeds were fed into the given parameterizations, resulting in six different transfer velocities of $CO_2$ ranging from 12 to 32 cm/h. In addition to the threefold difference depending on the choice of parameterization, the long-term average of wind speed results in a value ofk up to 20% higher than the short-term (12 hours) average of wind speed due to the non-Rayleigh wind distribution in the East (Japan) Sea. While it is not known which parameterization is more reliable, this study proposes that the time-averaged wind speed should not be used in areas where non-Ralyleigh wind distribution prevails such as the East (Japan) Sea. The net annual $CO_2$ flux was estimated using the value of k described above and the monthly ${\Delta}fCO_2$ of Oh et al. (1999); this ranges from 0.034 to 0.11 Gt-C/yr.

In this study, a theoretical study was conducted on the pre-cooling temperature of hydrogen gas and the heat exchanger area in a small-scale liquefied hydrogen system. The small-scale liquefaction system was built and liquid hydrogen production experiments were performed. In this process, the temperature of precooled hydrogen gas was measure to be about 120 K, and then the possibility of a cause was analyzed through pressure analysis of hydrogen gas and container, and analysis of the amount of liquid hydrogen produced. It was found that some reasonable results were obtained from the theoretical approaches. Based on this theoretical approach, we aim to improve the production of liquid hydrogen by optimizing the heat exchange area according to flow rate.

In the present study, a new wood boiler was developed through the performance test. The efficiency of the boiler was obtained up to about 63.7%, which is 67% higher than that of conventional wood boiler, about 38.2%. The structure of the new boiler is more complicated than the conventional boiler. The passage of combustion gas is sufficiently long to exchange heat well with heating water. Therefore, the obtained efficiency is so high, and the temperature of exhaust gas was lower than 200$^{\circ}C$, which is as low as that of light oil boiler. The composition of exhaust gas was measured, and the CO gas concentration was obtained more than 3000 ppm. So, it seems that more study is needed to lower the concentration of CO gas.

Residual gas fraction in a combustion process is very crucial to improve combustion and cyclic variations. Especially, the residual gas fraction is strongly affected by backflow of the residual gas during the valve overlap period in an idle operation. Therefore, it is one of the most interesting that valve timings can affect flow characteristics of gas exchange process, especially during idle operation. This analysis investigates residual gas fraction with respect to valve timing changes which is critical for combustion efficiency and engine performance. Flow characteristics of residual gas by changing intake and exhaust valve timing are calculated by CFD methodology during an idle operation in an SI engine. It is analyzed that retarded EVO and advanced IVO results in the increase of valve overlap period and consequently, residual gas fraction. Futhermore, changes in IVO have stronger effects on variation of residual gas fraction.

Nitrogen oxide(NOx) emission reductions are required to meet the strict emission regulations for environmental protection. Most of the Exhaust Gas Recirculation(EGR) system applied to a diesel engine can relatively decrease the NOx at a low cost, but it has a disadvantage in that the PM generation is promoted due to the hot intake air temperature. Thus, high heat exchange efficiency of the EGR cooler is required for an effective removal of NOx. In this study, heat exchange efficiency for various types of heat exchangers used in EGR cooler was measured under same conditions, and determined best heat exchange performance shape depending on type of heat exchanger.

Using the ARDL approach, this study examined the impact of macro factors on Vietnam's stock market in the short and long run from 2010 to 2021. The State Bank of Vietnam and the International Monetary Fund provided time series data for this study. Research results show that in the long run, money supply and exchange rate respectively affect the stock market. The money supply had a positive effect on the VN-Index, while the exchange rate showed the opposite effect. However, the study did not find a relationship between world oil price and interest rates on VN-Index in the long run. On the other hand, in the short term, there are relationships between variables; specifically, interest rates and exchange rates have a negative impact on the VN-Index, while the world oil price and the fluctuation of money supply M2 of the previous one and two months showed an impact in the same direction on this index. The differences in the regression results on the impact of exchange rate and oil price on the VN-Index compared to previous studies come from the characteristics of Vietnam's stock market, with the large capitalization of companies in the oil and gas sector, and the structure of Vietnam's economy with export heavily depends on FDI sector.
