The aim of this study is to examine the influence of vocal training on internal respiration in order to develop an efficient method of singing phonation. Five males trained singers (age:$25.0{\pm}1.4years$, career:$6.8{\pm}1.1\;years$) and five female trained singers (age:$22.0{\pm}1.0years$, career:$5.8{\pm}1.2\;years$) participated in this study. $SaO_2$(Oxi Hemoglobin saturation) was measured by Oxy-Pulse meter while $P_ACO_2$ (Pressure Alveolar $CO_2$) was measured by Quick et $CO_2$ before and after 2-minute, 4-minute and 6-minute vocal training. Result showed that $SaO_2$ was within a normal range after vocal training but $P_ACO_2$ came out lower than the normal range (36-40mmHg) after vocal training which led to Hypocapnia. This caused the singers to experience some headache and dizziness.

The segregation (distribution) of nickel and the composition of its constituents influence the low thermal expansion characteristics (Invar effect) in Fe-30 wt.% Ni-12.5 wt.% Co-xC Invar alloy. The change of coefficient of the thermal expansion and magnetic properties were studied as an aspect of carbon addition causing the segregation of Ni in primary austenite of as-cast Fe-30 wt.% Ni-12.5 wt.% Co Invar alloy. The coefficient of thermal expansion of Fe-30 wt.% Ni-12.5 wt.% Co-xC Invar alloy showed its lowest value at 0.08 wt.% carbon, increased with increasing carbon content in the range of 0.08-1.0 wt.%C, kept constant at 1.0-2.0 wt.%C and decreased at carbon higher than 2.0 wt.%. The effective distribution of the coefficient of nickel in as-cast Fe-30 wt.% Ni-12.5 wt.% Co-xC Invar alloy increased with increasing carbon content. The volume fraction of they phase of Fe-30 wt.% Ni-12.5 wt.% Co-xC alloy increased with increasing carbon content. The microstructure of Fe-30 wt.% Ni-12.5 wt.% Co-xC alloy changed with the carbon content was independent of the coefficient of thermal expansion. The Curie temperature changed linearly with the carbon content and was similar to the change of the coefficient of thermal expansion. Moreover, the coefficient of thermal expansion decreased when the ratio of saturation magnetization to Curie temperature ($\sigma_s/T_c$) increased, decreasing the Curie temperature and showed a specific relationship with the magnetic properties of the Fe-30 wt.% Ni-12.5 wt.% Co-xCInvar alloy.

A large NaX type zeolite crystal of a uniform particle size of 20${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ are grown with various H2O content by hydrothermal reaction and added seed crystal (2~3 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) to reactant solution as a function of different adding seed levels from 3 to 15 %. The result that increased purity of NaX zeolite above 95% and homogeneity of crystal size by increasing adding seed levels, also decreased crystallization time. It was explained that adding seed to synthesis solution leaded out increase of surface area of physical contact reaction and directed growth of seed crystal, so more rapid consumption of reaction gel as increase seeding levels.

Weathering is the breaking/cutting down process of rocks due to physical and chemical processes in natural as well as artificial environment including $CO_2$ injection for storage in the sediment, or natural resource recovery process. This study suggests an alternative method to estimate the degree of weathering for granites. A series of laboratory and field experiments are performed to measure electrical resistivities on various rock samples experienced different degrees of weathering and their residual soils under different saturation conditions. It is found that the normalized electrical resistivity increases with a decrease in water absorption and the saturation. Simple boundaries are suggested to identify the weathering degree of granites, based on limited data. Field test results for three sites confirm that the suggested method could be estimated well the degree of weathering of granites compared with the other methods suggested previously. Although further research is required, this study suggests that an electrical resistivity could be an effective approach to estimate the degree of weathering of granites compared with the other methods suggested previously.

An year-long survey of chemical water quality for Lake Eui-am in Kang-won Province, Korea, was conducted from June 1970 to May 1971 to study the water quality and seasonal variations of productivities in relation to selected physical and chemical environmental factors. A monthly series of water samples were taken at the deepest basin of 18m depth of the lake. Water quality parameters determined were water temperature, Secchi disc reading(transparency), pH, O$\_$2/, CO$\_$2/, alkalinity, acidity, Cl, hardness, Ca, Mg, total residue, total ignitious residue, COD, BOD$\_$5/, nutrients, total-Fe, soluble Fe, Mn and Cu. On the whole, the results indicate that the chemical water quality of Lake Eui-am is high, and vary with season. The lake water is characterized that higher levels of dissolved oxygen(8.6 ml/L in mean of whole water) or percent saturation of dissolved oxygen(114%), and of nitrate nitrogen (523 $\mu\textrm{g}$/L). On the other hand, CO$\_$2/(9.6ppm), chlorides(3.5ppm), Ca(7.7ppm) Mg(2.2ppm), hardness(28.5ppm), silica(2.4ppm) and BOD$\_$5/(1.08ppm) are quite low. In terms of nutrient levels, the lake water exhibit slight signs of eutrophication. The high values for nitrate nitrogen, soluble iron and Cu of the lake water suggest that there are some imputs such as domestic and industrial discharges to the lake.

This study focuses on operational analysis of 2 types of intersection shared lanes. First, the analysis showed that a through & right-turn shared lane is always less used than the adjacent through-only lanes and as a result, operational efficiency deteriorates. To improve the efficiency fine-tuning in signal timing optimization using lane-by-lane traffic volume data is required. Further improvement can be achieved by guiding drivers to equally use the shared lane. For left-turn & U-turn shared lanes, it was found that saturation flow rate is affected by interference between U-turn and conflicting right-turn movements. However, since such interference does not occur in every cycle, a statistical model must be established to develop realistic adjustment factor for saturation flow rate of the shared lane.

Magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs), which consisted of amorphous CoFeSiB layers, were investigated. The CoFeSiB layers were used to substitute for the traditionally used CoFe and/or NiFe layers with an emphasis given on understanding the effect of the amorphous free layer on the switching characteristics of the MTJs. CoFeSiB has a lower saturation magnetization ($M_s\;:\;560\;emu/cm^3$) and a higher anisotropy constant ($K_u\;:\;2800\;erg/cm^3$) than CoFe and NiFe, respectively. An exchange coupling energy ($J_{ex}$) of $-0.003\;erg/cm^2$ was observed by inserting a 1.0 nm Ru layer in between CoFeSiB layers. In the Si/$SiO_2$/Ta 45/Ru 9.5/IrMn 10/CoFe 7/$AlO_x$/CoFeSiB 7 or CoFeSiB (t)/Ru 1.0/CoFeSiB (7-t)/Ru 60 (in nm) MTJs structure, it was found that the size dependence of the switching field originated in the lower $J_{ex}$ using the experimental and simulation results. The CoFeSiB synthetic antiferromagnet structures were proved to be beneficial for the switching characteristics such as reducing the coercivity ($H_c$) and increasing the sensitivity in micrometer size, even in submicrometer sized elements.

Co-Ni-Fe-N thin films were fabricated by a $N_2$ reactive rf magnetron sputtering method. The nitrogen partial pressure ($P_{N2}$) was varied in the range 0~10% . As$P_{N2}$ increases in this range, the saturation magnetization $B_s$ linearly decreases from 19.8 kG to 14 kG and the electrical resistivity ($\rho$) increases from 27 to 155 $\mu\Omegacm$. The coercivity $H_c$ exhibits the minimum value at 4% $P_{N2}$. The magnetic anisotropy fields ($H_k$) are in the range of 20$\sim$50 Oe. High frequency characteristics of $(Co_{22.2}Ni_{27.6}Fe_{50.2})_{100-x}N_x$ films are excellent in the range of 3$\sim$5% of $P_{N2}$. In particular, the effective permeability of the film fabricated at 4% $P_{N2}$ is 800, which is maintained up to 600 MHz. This film also shows Bs of 17.5 kG, $H_c$/ of 1.4 Oe, resistivity of 98$\mu\Omegacm$ and $H_k$ of about 25 Oe. Also, the corrosion resistance of $(Co_{22.2}Ni_{27.6}Fe_{50.2})_{100-x}N_x$ films was imp roved with increasing N concentration.
