Hydroxy sodalite (HS) is reported as high-temperature water separating zeolite membrane because of its small β-cage structure (pore size=2.8Å). HS zeolite particles were synthesized using various experimental set-ups including water bath, oil bath, refluxing and hydrothermal method using a gel composition of 5SiO2:1Al2O3:50Na2O:1000H2O. The morphology, crystallinity and purity of HS particles by changing silica source, temperature and synthesis time were studied. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Particle sizes were increased with increase of temperature (90 °C - 180 °C) and time (2 – 24 h). Pure HS particles were obtained by using conventional hydrothermal synthesis at 120°C for 2h.

In membrane applications for wastewater treatment, polymeric membranes are dominant due to their processbility and low cost. To enlarge the membrane application in industrial effluent treatment, membrane materials with high mechanical and chemical tolerance should be needed. Although ceramics such as alumina would be good options for harsh environmental conditions, high cost and complex production methods hinder the application of ceramic membranes. Here, we demonstrate the preparation of cost-effective, robust alumina hollow fiber membranes (HFMs). Alumina HFMs prepared with phase inversion method followed by sintering showed narrow pore size distribution. Also, characteristics of the membrane can be easily tuned by controlling spinning and post treatment conditions.

This review introduces the preparation methods and applications of different kinds of carbon-based material coatings on fibers. In addition, directions for future research on carbon material composites are discussed.

선박에서 배출되는 환경오염물질 저감 및 연료 소비를 줄이기 위한 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 이에 따라 기존의 전력망과 신재생에너지를 연계 시킬 수 있는 직류배전시스템의 한 부분인 전력변환시스템에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 현재 전력변환 장치로 주로 사용되고 있는 다이오드 정류기는 부하의 입력전류에 많은 저차고조파가 포함되어 공급전압의 왜곡을 초래하고 전체시스템 의 전력품질을 저하시킨다. 일정하지 않은 출력 전압파형은 발전기, 부하기기 등에 오작동 유발 및 인버터 단의 스위칭 소자에 영향을 미 치며 스위칭 손실을 증가 시킨다. 본 논문에서는 AFE(Active Front End) 방식 PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) 정류기의 직류출력, 입력 전원의 역률 및 총고조파왜형률(Total Harmonic Distortion)을 개선하기 위해서 PLL회로를 사용한 제어기를 설계하였고, 시뮬레이션 결과 직류 출력 전압 파형과 입력전원의 역률이 기존 보다 개선되었으며 총고조파왜형률 또한 IEEE Std514-2014 규정에 적합한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

본 연구는 경주 중·저준위처분장 2단계 표층처분시설의 폐쇄 후 안전성에 대한 불확실성을 예측·평가하기 위하여 수행되 었다. 다중덮개와 처분고의 건전/열화를 고려한 총4가지의 시나리오를 도출하여 강우침투 시 예상되는 처분시설 내부의 유 체 이동을 모사하였다. 강우 조건은 총 30년(1985~2014) 간의 월평균 데이터를 적용하였으며, 시뮬레이션 기간은 제도적 관 리기간인 300년으로 설정하였다. 처분덮개와 처분고 콘크리트 모두 건전성을 유지하는 조건의 기본 시나리오 평가 결과, 처 분시설 내부의 처분고를 완전히 포화시키지 못하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 다중 덮개층을 구성하는 8개 층의 각 매질의 모 세관 압력과 투과도 차이로 인하여 다중 덮개층이 효과적으로 차수·배수 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다.

Photoelectron-hole separation efficiency plays an important role in the enhancement of the photocatalytic activity of photocatalysts towards the degradation of organic molecules. In this study, TiO2/TiOF2 heterostructured composite powders with suitable band structures, which structures are able to separate photoelectron-hole pairs, have been synthesized using a simple and versatile ultrasonic spray pyrolysis process. In addition, their phase volume fractions have been controlled by varying the pyrolysis temperature from 400 oC to 800 oC. The structural and optical properties of the synthesized powders have been characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electronic microscopy and UV-vis spectroscopy. The powder with a phase volume ratio close to 1, compared with single TiOF2 and other composite powders with different phase volume fractions, was found to have superior photocatalytic activity for the degradation of rhodamine B. This result shows that the TiO2/TiOF2 heterostructure promotes the separation of the photoinduced electrons and holes and that this powder can be applicable to environmental cleaning applications.

세계적인 급속한 도시화, 산업의 발달 및 인구의 증가, 기후 온난화 등 물의 공급과 수요의 불균형이 초래되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기계적 물성이 뛰어난 Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)와 첨가제 Silica를 사용 하였다. 희석제로는 플라스틱 가공 공정에 많이 이용되는 dioctyl phthalate (DOP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP)를 사용하여 새로운 분리막 제조 방법인 TIPS(Thermally Induced Phase Seaparation) 방식을 이용하여 분리막의 기초 연구를 실시 하였다. 실험의 특성 평가로는 주사방출현미경(SEM), DSC 그리고 Hot stage 등으로 특성평가를 진행하여 TIPS 분리막의 제조 방식에 따른 소재의 변화를 관찰 하였다.

세라믹 중공사형 분리막은 열적, 화학적 안정성, 내구성이 우수하며 packing density를 증가 시킬 수 있어 수처리용 분리막으로 적합하다. 중공사형 세라믹분리막은 보통 상전이법에 의해 제조하지만, 생산 속도 및 세라믹 함량 제한이라는 기술적 한계를 갖는다. 뿐만 아니라 세라믹 소재가 갖는 특성인 취성으로 인해 scale-up의 한계가 있는 것으로 보고되었으며 이를 해결하기 위해 고강도 세라믹 중공사형 분리막의 제조가 요구되는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 새로운 제막 방식인 상전이-압출 공정을 통해 생산속도를 높여 세라믹 분리막의 대량 생산에 적합할 것으로 사료되며, 제조 용액 내세라믹 분말의 함량 증가 및 소결 조건을 통해 고강도 세라믹 중공사형 분리막을 제조 할 수 있었다.

This study investigated the chemical composition of headspace gas from white-flowered lotus (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertner). Volatile flavor compositions of headspace from white-flowered lotus (floral leaf, stamen, flower stalk, stem) were investigated through the solid-phase microextraction method using polydimethylsiloxane-divinylbenzene fiber. The headspace was directly transferred to a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Sixty-three volatile flavor constituents were detected in the headspace of lotus floral leaves, and undecanoic acid (7.81%) was the most abundant component. Fifty-three volatile flavor constituents were detected in the headspace of lotus stamina, and isobutylidene phthalide (7.94%) was the most abundant component. Forty-four volatile flavor constituents were detected in the headspace of lotus flower stalks, and 3-butyl dihydrophthalide (11.23%) was the most abundant component. Fifty-nine volatile flavor constituents were detected in the headspace of lotus stems, and ligustilide (16.15%) was the most abundant component. The content of phthalides was higher in the headspace of flower stalks and stems, while alcohols and acids were the predominant compounds in lotus floral leaves.

It is basis of building phylogeny of Chinese Characters to study phase and dating of Chinese Characters Font. Therefore, the precondition of ontological researching of Chinese Characters on a certain stage is phase and dating the styles. However, it is difficult to do this kind of researching. The Stone Inscription of Wei, Jin, south and North Dynasties is in the transition stage of the Chinese characters from the clerical script to the regular script. It is more difficult to determine the Font of the stone inscription. This paper try to do some practical researches through selecting some typical stone inscription from The Database of Stone Inscription of Wei-Jin and South and North Dynasties《魏晉南北朝石刻數據庫》and making comparison between them. The database was made by Center for The Study and Application of Chinese Characters in ECNU.

To investigate unknown molecualr and cellular mechanisms underlying polyphenisms in the migratory locusts, we performed whole transcriptome analysis from 12 different groups. Significantly differentially expressed coding and long non-coding (LNC) RNAs were present according to habitats, phases, and genders. Those differentially expressed coding and LNC RNAs were confirmed by quantitative-realtime-reverse transcriptase PCR. Those identified coding and LNC RNAs could be a target for developing environmental friendly management tools in the near future.

Polyphenism is one of the most intriguing phenomenon observed from various insect species. Polyphenism is changing morphological, behavioral, and physiological phenotypes without changing genome informations. Therefore, polyphenism is thought to be controlled by epigenetic methods. Epigenetic controls are including DNA methylation, histone acetylation, small RNAs, long non-coding RNAs, and protein phosphorylation. To investigate the mechanism involved in polyphenism, various genomic researches have been completed. However, metabolite changes in different phases have not been reported yet. Thus, we studied the metabolite changes and found the changed metabolites. These studies will make an important contribution to reveal the difference between gregrious and solitary phases and reveal eco - friendly control techniques.

The purpose of this study was to compare and analyze the difference of the ankle joint movements during landing. Seven adult males voluntarily participated in the study and the average foot size of the subjects was 269.8 mm. Image analysis equipment and the ground reaction force plate (landing type) was used to measure th kinetic variables. As a result of this study, it was confirmed that the vertical ground reaction force peak point appeared once in the barefoot with forefoot, while two peak points appeared in the barefoot and functional shoe foot with rear foot landing. About ankle angle, fore foot landing ankle angle, the average with bare foot landing was -10.302° and the average with functional shoe foot landing was -2.919°. Also about rear foot landing, ankle angle was 11.648° with bare foot landing and 15.994° with functional shoe landing. The fore foot landing, ankle joint force analysis produced 1423.966N with barefoot and 1493.264N with functional shoes. But, the rear foot landing, ankle joint force analysis produced 1680.154N with barefoot and 1657.286N with functional shoes. This study suggest that the angle of ankle depends on the landing type and bare foot running/functionalized shod running, and ankle joint forces also depends on landing type.
