Abstract: The present invention is a perovskite metal oxide catalyst substituted with metal ions for reducing carbon deposition, a method for producing the same, and a process for performing a methane reforming reaction using this catalyst. The catalyst is produced in which Ni in ionic form is substituted at a portion of the Ti site of SrTiO3, MgTiO3, CaTiO3, or BaTiO3, which is a multi-component metal oxide having a perovskite structure.

The nickel-substituted perovskite metal oxide catalyst has a structure in which Ni2+ is substituted in the perovskite lattice structure. Thus, the metal oxide catalyst has advantages in that carbon deposition thereon does not occur, and thus, the catalyst has a high catalytic stability and may be used for a long time.

Abstract: A video encoding method and a video decoding method are provided for adaptively determining a chroma intra-directional prediction mode. When a DM mode is applied for intra prediction of a chroma signal, the video encoding method and the video decoding method adaptively modify the directional mode of a luma block to conform to the characteristics of a chroma block by considering the position and size of the chroma block, the presence of reference samples, and the size of the luma block. The video encoding method and the video decoding method use the modified directional mode for intra prediction of the chroma signal.
