Recently, due to the liquefaction caused by earthquakes in Pohang and surrounding areas, the importance of researches on the liquefaction assessment has increased. The possibility of liquefaction can be assessed using the geotechnical information. The cyclic resistance ratio (CRR) value used in the assessment of liquefaction can be determined by using the SPT-N values or shear wave velocity, V_s value. A study was conducted to compare the accuracy of the liquefaction assessment using these two types of geotechnical information, and concluded that the results using SPT-N values are more accurate than those using V_s values. The previous study speculated that the used V_s value was measured at a depth of 12 m uniformly without considering the critical depth of liquefaction. Therefore, 10 empirical equations that convert SPT-N values measured at critical depth of liquefaction into V_s values to confirm the validity of geotechnical information measured at 12 m points uniformly are used to assess the liquefaction possibility and the results were compared with the actual liquefaction results to confirm the accuracy. As a result, 7 out of 10 cases considering critical depth for liquefaction show higher accuracy than those not considered.

본 연구 축전 결합형 고주파 플라즈마(CCP) 식각장비에 펄스 직류(Pulse DC) 전원을 인가하여 오실로스코프(oscilloscope)를 분석하여 전기적 특성을 평가하는 것이다. 펄스 직류전원 플라즈마 시스템에서는 다양한 변수를 이해하여야 한다. 본 실험에서 사용한 공정 변수는 Pulsed DC Voltage 300~500 V, Pulsed DC reverse time $0.5{\sim}2.0{\mu}s$, Pulsed DC Frequency 100~250 kHz 이었다. 실험 결과를 정리하면 1) Pulsed DC Voltage 가 증가할수록 Input voltage의 최대값은 336~520 V, 최소값은 -544~-920 V로 변하여 피크 투 피크 (peak to peak)값은 880~1460 V로 증가였다. Input current 또한 최대값은 1.88~2.88 A, 최소값은 -0.84~-1.28 A로 변하여 피크 투피크 값은 2.88~4.24 A로 증가하였다. 이는 척에 인가되는 전류와 파워의 증가를 의미한다. 2) Pulsed DC reverse time이 증가하면 Input voltage와 Input current값이 증가했다 (Input voltage의 피크 투 피크 값은 1200~1440 V, Input current의 피크 투 피크 값은 3.56~4.56 A). 3) Pulsed DC frequency가 증가하면 주기가 짧아져 Input voltage와 Input current값이 증가 한다 (Input voltage의 피크 투 피크 값은 900~1320 V, Input current의 피크 투 피크 값은 2.36~3.64 A). 결론적으로 펄스 직류 플라즈마의 다양한 전기적 변수들은 반응기 내부에 인가되는 Input voltage와 Input current의 값에 큰 영향을 준다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

The Melanesian region in the western Pacific is dominated by complex plate tectonics, with the largest oceanic plateau, the OntongJava plateau, and a hotspot, the Caroline Islands. To better understand the complex geodynamics of the region, we estimate P- and S-velocity models and 𝛿 (V_P/V_S) model by using relative teleseismic travel times measured at seismometers on land and the seafloor. Our results show high-velocity anomalies in the subduction zones of the Melanesian region to a depth of about 400 km, which is thought to be subducting Solomon Sea, Bismarck, and Australian plates along plate boundaries. Along subduction zones, positive 𝛿 (V_P/V_S) anomalies are found, which may be caused by partial melting due to dehydration. A broad high-velocity anomaly is observed at 600 km depth below the Ontong-Java plateau, with a negative 𝛿 (V_P/V_S) anomaly. This is thought to be a viscous and dry remnant of the Pacific plate that subducted at 45-25 Ma, with a low volume of fluids due to dehydration for a long period in the mantle transition zone. Beneath the Caroline Islands, a strong low-velocity anomaly is obseved to a depth of 800 km and appears to be connected to the underside of the remnant Pacific plate in the mantle transition zone. This suggests that the mantle plume originating in the lower mantle has been redirected due to the interaction with the remnant Pacific plate and has reached its current location. The mantle plume also has a positive 𝛿 (V_P/V_S) anomaly, which is thought to be due to the influence of embedded fluids or partial melting. A high-velocity anomaly, interpreted as an effect of the thick lithosphere beneath the Ontong-Java plateau, is observed down to 300 km depth with a negative 𝛿 (V_P/V_S) anomaly, which likely indicate that little fluid remains in the melt residue accumulated in the lithosphere.

본 연구는 제주지역의 골프 코스에서 하절기 고온기간에 온도의 상승을 비롯한 다양한 환경변화로 인하여 생육 장애가 심한 한지형 잔디인 perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.), Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.), creeping bentgrass (Agrostis palustris Huds.) 3종에 대하여 엽록소형광과 엽록소지수를 측정하여 골프 코스와 스포츠 필드에서 잔디 선정과 관리를 위한 기본적인 정보를 얻기 위하여 수행하였다. F_o 값은 3종 모두 하절기 초기에는 낮고 후기에 다소 증가하는 양상을 보였다. 그러나, perennial ryegrass의 경우는 하절기 초기와 후기 간의 F_o 값의 변화가 컸으며, 특히, 후기에 F_o 값은 다른 2종 월등하게 보다 높았다. F_m 값은 3종 모두 하절기 초기에는 낮고 하절기 후기에 증가하였으나 3종 간의 차이는 크지 않았다. 광계 II의 광화학적 효율의 척도인 F_v/F_m 값은 3종 모두에서 하절기 초기에 낮고, 후기에 다소 증가하는 양상을 보였으나, 하절기 후기에 Kentucky bluegrass와 creeping bentgrass는 perennial ryegrass에 비해 F_v/F_m 값이 다소 높아 하절기 고온에서도 보다 더 잘 적응하는 것으로 보인다. 엽록소지수는 perennial ryegrass와 Kentucky bluegrass에서는 뚜렷하게 하절기 초기에는 낮고 후기에 높은 양상을 보였으나, creeping bentgrass는 조사기간 내내 낮은 상태를 유지하였다. 이상의 결과로부터 Kentucky bluegrass가 하절기 후기의 고온이나 빈번한 강우에 의한 습한 조건에 가장 강하고, perennial ryegrass가 가장 취약한 것으로 사료된다.

This study investigated the existing theoretical backgrounds in order to examine the stability control method of lateral flow caused by the Plasticity of soils when unsymmetrical surcharge works on polluted soils and then compared and analyzed the results measured through model tests. Ultimate bearing power of ML and $ML_{p1}$ and $ML_{p2}$ obtained at surcharge(q)-settlement$(S_v)$ curve showed similar trends to ultimate bearing power obtained from control chart of deflection $(S_v-Y_m)$ by Tominaga.Hashimoto, that of $S_v-(Y_m/S_v)$ by Matsuo.Kawamura and that of $(q/Y_m)-q$ by Shibata.Sekiguchi and so it is considered that it has no problem in actual applicability. ${S_v-(Y_m/S_v)}$ of control chart of $ML_{p1}$ by Matsuo.Kawamura showed smaller value than ultimate bearing capacity value from surcharge-settlement curve $(q-S_v)$. Expression of ML of fracture baseline at stability control charge by Matsuo Kawamura is ${S_v=3.21exp}\{-0.48(Y_m/S_v)\}$ and expression of $ML_{p1}$ is ${S_v=3.26exp}\{-0.96(Y_m/S_v)\}$ and expression of $ML_{p2}$ is ${S_v=6.33exp}\{-0.45(Y_m/S_v)\}$.

- The effect of redox potential (ORP) on lysine production by a leucine auxotrophic regulatory mutant of Corynebacterium glutclmicum on molasses medium was investigated in a 2-1 jar fermentor at pH 6.9 and $32^{\circ}C$. At a dilution rate of D=O.l $h ^1$, a maximum yield of Yr,,s=0.24 was obtained in either carbon- or leucine-limited chemostat where the redox potential was between -60 mV and - 100 mV. This level of redox potential corresponded to moderate oxygen deficiency. Under a high oxygen deficient condition of the redox potential of - 130 rnV (oxygen-limited chemostat), all the kinetic parameters such as $Y_[p/s}, q_s\; and \; q_p$ were decreased significantly and significant amounts of byproducts including glycine, alanine and valine were accumulated in the culture, indicating that the control of redox potential is important in lysine fermentation. At the redox potential of - 40 mV, on the other hand, large quantities of arginine (up to 0.38g/l) and glutamic acid (up to 0.12 g/l) were produced. A maximum lysine productivity of 2.41 g/l/h was achieved at - 66 mV under a carbon-limited condition.

This study investigates the existing theoretical backgrounds in order to examine the behavior of lateral flow according to the plasticity of soils when unsymmetrical surcharge is worked on polluted soft soils by comparing and analyzing the results measured through model tests. Model tests are canied out as follows soil tank, bearing frame and bearing plate are made. By increasing unsymmetrical surcharge to the ground soils with the consistent water content and with gradually increased polluted materials at intervals, the amounts of settlement, lateral displacement and upheaval were respectively observed. In conclusion, the value of critical surcharge was expressed as q$_{cr}$=2.78$_{cu}$ which was similar to those Tschebotarioff(q$_{cr}$=3.0$_{cu}$) and Meyerhof(q$_{cr}$=(B/2H+$\pi$/2)$_{cu}$) had been proposed. The value of ultimate capacity was expressed as q$_{ult}$=4.84$_{cu}$ which was similar to that of Prandtl. The lateral flow pressure is adeQuately calculated by the eQuation(P$_{max}$=K$_o$ r H) and the maximum value of lateral flow pressure is found near O.3H of layer thickness(H) and is higher to ground surface than the ones in composition pattern, Poulos distribution pattern and softclay soils (CL, CH) which is not polluted. The stability control method used in this research followed the management diagram of Tominaga.Hashimoto, Shibata.Sekiguchi, Matsuo.Kawamura who use the amounts of plasticity displacement by lateral flow. As a result, the ultimate capacity values in the diagram {S$_v$-(Y$_m$/S$_v$)} of Matsuo.Kawamura and in the diagram {(q/Y$_m$)-q} of Shibata. Sekiguchi were smaller than in the ones of load-settlement curve (q-S$_v$).

Microstructural and electromagnetic properties of YIG ferrites, (Y, Ca)-(Fe, V, In, Al)-O for Isolator/Circulator were investigated with the sintering temperature. YIG ferrites of $Y_{2.1}Ca_{0.9}Fe_{4.4}V_{0.5}In_{0.05}Al_{0.05}O_{12}$ were fabricated by sintering at $1300^{\circ}C$, $1330^{\circ}C$, $1350^{\circ}C$, $1370^{\circ}C$. Crystallographic and microstructural properties were measured using XRD and SEM. Saturation magnetization$(4{\pi}M_s)$ were measured using VSM, and FMR(Ferromagnetic Resonance) experiment was conducted to measure ferromagnetic resonance line width$({\Delta}H)$. Microwave characteristics of YIG ferrites were measured using a Network Analyzer. The YIG ferrite of $Y_{2.1}Ca_{0.9}Fe_{4.4}V_{0.5}In_{0.05}Al_{0.05}O_{12}$, sintered at $1350^{\circ}C$, showed higher density, saturation magnetization and lower ferromagnetic resonance line width than those sintered at any other temperature.

It has been widely known that the seismic piezo-cone penetration test (SCPTu) is one of the most useful techniques for investigating the geotechnical characteristics such as static and dynamic soil properties. As practical applications in Korea, SCPTu was carried out at two sites in Busan and four sites in Incheon, which are mainly composed of alluvial or marine soil deposits. From the SCPTu waveform data obtained from the testing sites, the first arrival times of shear waves and the corresponding time differences with depth were determined using the cross-over method, and the shear wave velocity $(V_S)$ profiles with depth were derived based on the refracted ray path method based on Snell's law. Comparing the determined $V_S$ profile with the cone tip resistance $(q_t)$ profile, both trends of profiles with depth were similar. For the application of the conventional CPTu to earthquake engineering practices, the correlations between $V_S$ and CPTu data were deduced based on the SCPTu results. For the empirical evaluation of $V_S$ for all soils together with clays and sands which are classified unambiguously in this study by the soil behavior type classification index $(I_C)$, the authors suggested the $V_S-CPTu$ data correlations expressed as a function of four parameters, $q_t,\;f_s,\;\sigma'_{v0}$ and $B_q$, determined by multiple statistical regression modeling. Despite the incompatible strain levels of the downhole seismic test during SCPTu and the conventional CPTu, it is shown that the $V_S-CPTu$ data correlations for all soils, clays and sands suggested in this study is applicable to the preliminary estimation of $V_S$ for the soil deposits at a part in Korea and is more reliable than the previous correlations proposed by other researchers.

Yakju(rice wine) was sterilized with high-voltage square-wave pulses of $1\;{\mu}s$ duration at various electric field strengths and frequencies on a serial multiple electrode pulsed electric field(PEF) treatment system consisted of 7 electrodes connected in series. The initial microbial counts of Yakju were $1.88{\times}10^3{\sim}2.13{\times}10^4$ CFU/mL for total aerobes, $1.55{\times}10^3{\sim}2.85{\times}10^4$ CFU/mL for lactic acid bacteria and $1.72{\times}10^3{\sim}2.39{\times}10^4$ CFU/mL for yeasts. The sterilization of microorganisms in Yakju was a first order reaction and the sterilization effect increased as the field strength and the frequency increased. The $D_{Hz}-value$ and the $D_{PEF}-value$ decreased with the electric field strength. Yeast showed lower $D_{PEF}-value$ than bacteria. Lactic acid bacteria showed lower $D_{PEF}-value$ than general aerobic bacteria under the electric field strength below 30 kV/cm, but higher ones under that above 40 kV/cm. The $Z_{PEF}-value$ of general aerobic bacteria, lactic acid bacteria and yeast in Yakju were 39.4, 49.3 and 47.6 kV/cm, respectively. The PEF sterilization resulted in less changes in color and sensory properties than heat sterilization, and the PEF treated Yakju showed superior quality to the heat treated one. The commercial sterilization of Yakju was accomplished with 2-cycle treatment on the tested serial PEF treatment system.
