Single particle soot photometer (SP2) is an advanced instrument capable of real-time measurement of concentration, coating thickness, and size distribution of individual BC particle using laser-induced incandescence. So far, there have been insufficient studies examining the real-time characteristics of BC in Korea. In this study, we examined temporal variations in BC concentration and mass size distribution of BC in volume equivalence diameter at a background site of Aewol, Jeju in May. Average concentration and mass median diameter (MMD) of BC particles measured during the study period (06~ 16 May 2013) were $0.69{\pm}0.48{\mu}g/m^3$ and $196{\pm}17nm$, respectively. The BC concentration measured in Aewol was very similar to that observed in the spring of 2012 in Baengnyeong island, and showed diurnal profiles similar to those in other background areas. MMD of BC ranged from 172 to 222 nm. It was found that the mass size distribution of BC varied depending on the location (ground-based), season, types of air masses, and altitude (aircraft-based).

A low temperature plasma process has been widely used for semiconductor fabrication and can also be applied for the preparation of solar cell, MEMS or NEMS, but they are notorious in the point of particle contamination. The nano-sized particles can be generated in the low temperature plasma process and they can induce several serious defects on the performance and quality of microelectronic devices and also on the cost of final products. For the preparation of high quality thin films of high efficiency by the low temperature plasma process, it is desirable to increase the deposition rate of thin films with reducing the particle contamination in the plasmas. In this paper, we introduced the studies on the generation and growth of nanoparticles in the low temperature plasmas and tried to introduce the recent interesting studies on nanoparticle generation in the plasma reactors.

In this paper, we investigate the quality difference of SiC crystals grown by a conventional physical vapor transport method using various SiC powders. While the growth rate was revealed to be dependent upon the particle size of the SiC powder, the growth rate of SiC bulk crystals grown using SiC powder with a smaller particle size (20 nm) was definitely higher than those using lager particle sizes with $0.1-0.2\;{\mu}m$ and $1-10\;{\mu}m$, respectively. All grown 2 inch SiC single crystals were proven to be the polytype of 6H-SiC and the carrier concentration levels of about $10^{17}\;cm^3$ were determined from Hall measurements. It was revealed that the particle size and process method of SiC powder played an important role in obtaining a good quality, high growth rate, and to reduce growth temperature.

Fly ash (called FA hereafter) that results from thermal power plants is a long-term strength improving substance with reactivity to pozzolan and has been used for long. However, large amount of FA shows many advantages such as reduction of hydratio energy, long-term improvement in strength and economic feasibility and also has difficulties from reduction in initial strength and durability. In a preceding study, fine particle cement was applied to test the effects on initial strength. Therefore in this study, the effects of fine particle cement on the quality of FA concrete were reviewed. The results can be summarized as follows. Liquidity was increased by the most at FC substitution ratio of 15%. Air capacity was reduced according to increasing substitution ratio of FA and FC. Compressive strength showed high strength expression at all ages when FC was substituted at 45%. Synthesizing the above results, appropriate mixing of FC in FA concrete can improve liquidity, reduce unit quantity and show improvement in strength. In particular, mixed use of FC seems effective in improving early quality of concrete.

황사의 주요 발원지인 중국 북부 둔황지역에 선포토미터를 설치하여 440, 675, 870 그리고 1020 nm 채널에서 황사의 파장별 입자편광소멸도를 산출하였다. 이와 함께 발원한 황사가 장거리 수송과정에 위치한 제주 고산과 일본 오사카에 설치된 선포토미터를 함께 분석하였다. 황사 발원지에서 1020 nm 파장에서 입자편광소멸도가 0.34로 가장 높은 수치를 보였다. 또한, 초미세먼지농도가 증가하는 경우 입자편광소멸도는 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 우리는 본 연구에서 선포토미터의 입자편광소멸도 산출을 통해 에어로졸에서 황사의 구성 비율이 변화함을 확인하였다.

This paper proposes a Modified Particle Swarm Optimization with Time Varying Acceleration Coefficients (MPSO-TVAC) for solving economic load dispatch (ELD) problem. Due to prohibited operating zones (POZ) and ramp rate limits of the practical generators, the ELD problems become nonlinear and nonconvex optimization problem. Furthermore, the ELD problem may be more complicated if transmission losses are considered. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is one of the famous heuristic methods for solving nonconvex problems. However, this method may suffer to trap at local minima especially for multimodal problem. To improve the solution quality and robustness of PSO algorithm, a new best neighbour particle called 'rbest' is proposed. The rbest provides extra information for each particle that is randomly selected from other best particles in order to diversify the movement of particle and avoid premature convergence. The effectiveness of MPSO-TVAC algorithm is tested on different power systems with POZ, ramp-rate limits and transmission loss constraints. To validate the performances of the proposed algorithm, comparative studies have been carried out in terms of convergence characteristic, solution quality, computation time and robustness. Simulation results found that the proposed MPSO-TVAC algorithm has good solution quality and more robust than other methods reported in previous work.

In this study, the effects of different varieties and particle sizes of dry milled rice flour on Jeolpyeon quality were investigated. Classify particle size of dry milled rice flour according to rice variety into 50, 100, and $150{\mu}m$. A particle size of $50{\mu}m$ in the varieties Boramchan and Hanareum resulted in the highest damaged starch contents (p<0.05). Additionally, the Boramchan and Hanareum varieties had the highest water absorption index (WAI) values (p<0.05). Analysis of the gelatinization characteristics of dry milled rice flour according to varieties revealed the peak viscosity of Dasan and Hanareum was high (p<0.05), regardless of particle size, while the breakdown was highest for Hanareum at all particle sizes (p<0.05). The moisture content of Jeolpyeon made with Boramchan varied between 48.83 and 53.64% among particle sizes, with no significant differences relative to the control. The hardness of the control was 3.15 kg, while the hardness of Jeolpyeon made with Boramchan decreased significantly 2.60-2.63 kg (p<0.05).

This research examined the effect of the quality of aggregate on concrete workability and compressive strength through an investigation into regional aggregate used in domestic ready mixed concrete plants. Through the research, it was found that aggregate for ready mixed concrete shows poor quality overall. The main factor of deterioration in the quality of the concrete is the particle size of fine aggregate and fine particle content in coarse aggregate. The quality of aggregate significantly influences concrete's workability, which is defined based on 0.08mm passage related with powder and absorption. In addition, poor aggregate quality leads to increased water content in concrete to secure workability, which is related with a decline in the compressive strength and durability of concrete.

최근 DNA 칩의 등장으로 유전자 관련 실험과 연구가 매우 용이해졌으며 이를 활용한 다양한 실험 결과로 대량의 데이터가 제공되고 있다. DNA칩에 의해 제공된 데이터는 2차원 행렬로 표현되며 하나의 축은 유전자를 나타내고 다른 하나의 축은 샘플정보를 나타낸다. 이러한 데이터에 대하여 빠른 시간 안에 좋은 품질의 군집화를 수행함으로써 이후의 분석 단계인 분류화 작업의 정확도와 효율성을 높일 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 생태계 모방 알고리즘의 하나인 Particle Swarm Optimization 알고리즘을 사용하여 방대한 양의 DNA칩 데이터에 대한 효율적인 군집화 기법을 제안하였으며 실험을 통해서 PSO 기반의 군집화 알고리즘이 기존의 군집화 알고리즘들보다 수행속도 및 품질 면에서 우수한 성능을 가짐을 보였다.

The numerical experiments using a particle tracking model have been performed for predicting the change of water Quality and shoreline. In present study, comparison of the numerical model results with the analytic solution shows that the point of the mainmum concentration and the distribution pattern is very similar. The reflection effect from the boundary was newly Introduced for making clear the effect of the closed boundary which set limits to application of a particle tracking model. The present model seems to reappear physical phenomenon well. This model shows well qualitative appearance of pollutant diffusion in Kwangan beach. Therefore, this model is regarded as a useful means for predicting diffusion movement of suspended sand, and change of water quality.
