Some forms of data reduction are essential to make optimal use of the data information.
The independent source matrix S, resulted from ICA, was used as input data to PCR 3.
An absorption matrix for calibration D was built up from these data.
The essence of the step is the pseudo-rank determination of the raw experimental data.
The method can obtain very selective information from unselective full-spectrum data.

All cyclic voltammograms data were acquired using Electrochemical workstation (CHI660B).
Fig 2 SEM micrographs of organic-inorganic perovskite hybrid Electrochemical Oxidization and Reduction.
The reduction and oxidation potential of phenosafranine on CPE (Figure 3b) are 667.3 mV and -81.2 mV.
Figure 4 shows the reduction peak current of the hybrid on electrode can be affected by the value of pH.
The reduction peak current decreases with the increase of the value of pH, covering linear range from 1.0 to 6.0.

Microbial Community Structure Analysis of Blood Pond Hell Hot Spring in Japan and Search for Metal-Reducing Microbes Yusei Masakia, Shin-ichi Hiranob, Naoko Okibea* a Department of Earth Resources Engineering, Kyushu University, Fukuoka 819-0395, Japan b Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry, Chiba 270-1194, Japan *correspondence: okibe@mine.kyushu-u.ac.jp, +81-(0)92-802-3312 Keywords: microbial diversity, extreme environment, Fe(III) reduction, Cr(VI) reduction, Sulfolobus.
Two isolates showing Fe(III) reduction ability were named Sulfolobus sp.
Cr(VI) reduction test.
The fact that no decrease in total Cr concentrations was observed in cell suspensions (data not shown) indicate that highly toxic Cr(VI) was microbially reduced to less toxic/soluble Cr(III) in the solution phase.
The finding that Cr(VI) reduction was seen more effectively with GA1 than GA2 (Fig. 2), was consistent with our preliminary observation that GA1 reduced Fe(III) more readily than GA2.

A sequential procedure of collecting data, estimating polynomials, and checking the adequacy of the model was used.
Minitab 15 (Minitab Inc., USA) was used to establish and to test complex polynomials to model the data.
To find the maximum solubilization degree of the sludge, quadratic equation was tested to model the data obtained from the trials in Table 2.
When the data analyzed using the model, stepwise regression using the forward method was used when alpha-to-enter is 0.1.
Comparison of semi-continuous single-staged MAD Table 3 summarizes the steady state data for the processes fed with the raw and pretreated TWAS.

The parametric study clearly showed that high-strength concrete is favorable to the reduction of lifecycle CO2 amount of concrete columns, whereas the reduction is not expected for concrete beams.
However, available data are very rare for quantitatively evaluating the effect of FA on the lifecycle CO2 assessment of concrete structures including CO2 uptake owing to carbonation of concrete.
To summarize the lifecycle CO2 assessment of concrete structures in accordance with system boundary specified in ISO/DIS 13315-2 [2], a performance evaluation table was developed using the actual survey data obtained in 2012 in South Korea on the surrounding environment, CO2 concentration, lifecycle inventory database, and life expectancy of structures.

In red ceramics, the result of the substitution of feldspars showed very advantageous [1], and also an important economic benefit from reduction of firing temperature and reduction of gases emissions was found [2].
To obtain the data of the curve shown in Fig. 3, the slip was manually stirred for 1 minute before data recording after each deflocculant addition (usual procedure for a deflocculation curve).
From data shown in Fig. 5, a reduction of viscosity with glass addition can be also noticed.
This data provide the thixotropic behavior of the slip for ceramic parts casting.

Whilst models of the oxidation kinetics and defect generation are being developed [4,5,6,7], much more experimental data is needed to support understanding.
A reduction in the frequency dispersion is observed with decreasing oxygen flow rate signifying a reduction in the Dit.
The reduction in frequency dispersion signifies a reduction in the interface trap density.
The high Dit in the upper half of the SiC band gap (as compared to Si), has largely been attributed to the generation of electrically active carbon dimer defects near the interface during oxidation.[6, 9] Thus the reduction in Dit may be due to a reduction in the number of carbon dimers.
Thus the increase in EOT and reduction in Dit observed in the present work, may be due to the fewer carbon dimers being formed.

Crack under the embankment deformation and failure to carry out deep displacement monitoring data, according to the severity of slope disease divided three districts: District A relatively unstable, mileage K28 +360 ~ +560, length of 200meters, are filling the road embankment sections, existing local signs of deformation and failure; zone B of instability and severe disease, mileage K28 +560 ~ K28 +810, 250meters in length, are Cut and Fill steep road embankment sections, have been found to severe deformation and failure; C area is relatively unstable region, mileage K28 +810 ~ +860, length 50meters, is a semi-Cut and Fill steep road embankment sections.

It is found that drastic reduction of the scrap rate, though increasing customer satisfaction, is not always a proper solution due to the extent of quality cost.
Quality cost is an estimated item, which shows the amount of expenditure that would be needed if quality level was intended to increase, resulting in reduction of the scrap rate.
Table 1 contains the calculations on the basis of the given data, while Fig. 3 summarizes the three profit categories.
· Scrap rate reduction, with less effort than estimated in determining the 0.025 scrap rate target, is obviously advisable

This heat treatment enhances strength substantially while there is a reduction in ductility [2-4].
There are little published data describing the changes of tensile properties and microstructure with prolonged aging times.
Results and Discussion Tensile data for various test conditions are shown in Tables 1.
Elongation increases with age time from 20 h to 48 h but no significant reduction in UTS is observed.
Aging at 200 °C from 10 h to 20 h, elongation increases, but no significant reduction in UTS is observed.
