meta-Nitroaniline(mNA) crystals were grown from the supercooled melt for the first time. A seed was introduced into the purified mNA melt of 100 ml 0.1 K above the melting temperature ($T_m$ : $112.0^{\circ}C$) and crystal was grown at constant supercooling of 0.1 K. The melt was stirred . mechanically and the crystal was also rotated while the growth proceeds. mNA crystals of size up to $20{\times}15{\times}15 \textrm {mm}^3 and of very high perfection could be grown for the period of one day. The bottom half of the crystal faces are well-faceted and covered by {111} and {021} faces, while the faces of the top half are not well defined. The overall crystal morphology was characterized by the unidirectional growth along one of the polar axes. The absolute direction of preferred growth was determined to be [001] by the pyroelectric measurements. The perfection of the crystal was characterized by synchrotron X-ray topography and optical characterization was made by measuring second harmonic conversion efficiency.

Thick GaN films were grown on (0001) sapphire substrates using the direct reaction gallium and ammonia. The GaN films grew dominantly along [0002] direction, but included the growth of GaN(1010) planeq with V-shaped facetted surfaces at low temperature. With increasing growth temperature, however, the growth of GaN (1010) and (1011) planes was appeared from the films, which gives rise to the growth of hexagonal crystal with pyramid-shaped surface. The growth rate of GaN films increased with increasing growth temperature, but decreased at $1270^{\circ}C$ because the GaN films began to decompose into Ga and N at the temperature. It seemed that the crystal and optical qualities of the GaN films improve with increasing $NH_3$ flow rate. From X-ray diffraction (XRD) and photoluminescence (PL) measurements, it was observed that the yellow luminescence (YL) appeared to be significant as the peak intensity of (1010) plane of XRD spectra increased.

The heteroepitaxial growth of crystalline 3C-SiC on 6H-SiC substrates using high purity silane ($SiH_4$) and prophane ($C_3H^8$) was carried out by thermal chemical vapor deposition, and growth characteristics were investigated in this study. In case that the flow ratio of C/Si and flow rate of $H_2$ were 4.0 and 5.0 slm, respectively, the growth rate of epilayers was about 1.8 $\mu$m/h at growth temperature of $1200^{\circ}C$. The Nomarski surface morphology, X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and photoluninescence of grown epilayers were measured to investigate the crystallinity. In this study, the high quality of crystalline 3C-SiC heteropitaxial layers was observed at growth temperature of above $1150^{\circ}C$.

분자선 에피탁시(molecular beam epitaxy)를 이용하여 GaAs 기판에 성장한 InAs 양자점(QDs: quantum dots)은 성장 온도, 압력, As/In의 공급비 등의 성장 조건에 따라 다른 변수(parameter)를 갖는다. 따라서 성장변수에 따라 양자점의 모양과 크기, 밀도가 달라져 균일한 양자점 형성에 어려움이 있어 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 예를 들면 In-interruption 법으로 성장한 양자점의 특성이 S-K mode (Stranski-Krastanov mode)로 성장한 양자점에 비해 광학적 특성이 향상되었다. 본 연구에서는 In pre-deposition (IPD) 법으로 성장한 InAs/GaAs 양자점의 광학적 특성을 PL(photoluminescence)와 TRPL (time-resolved PL)을 이용하여 분석하였다. InAs QDs 시료들은 In과 As 공급시간을 각각 1초와 19초 (QD1), 2초와 18초 (QD2), 3초와 17초 (QD3)로 조절하여 성장하였으며, In이 공급되는 시간 동안 As shutter를 차단하여 As 공급을 중단하였다. In과 As의 차단 없이 S-K mode로 성장한 시료를 기준시료로 사용하였다 (QD0). AFM (atomic force microscope) 측정결과, In 공급시간이 1초에서 2초로 증가할 때, 양자점의 밀도와 종횡비(aspect ratio)가 증가하였고, 양자점의 균일도가 증가하였다. 그러나 QD3 시료는 QD1 시료에 비해 밀도와 종횡비, 균일도가 감소하였다. 10 K에서 PL 피크는 In 공급 시간이 증가할 때, 970 nm에서 1020 nm로 적색편이 하였고 반치폭 (FWHM: full width at half maximum)은 75 meV에서 85 meV로 증가하였다. QD2 시료의 PL 피크 에너지가 가장 낮았고, 가장 강한 PL 세기를 보였다. IPD 시간이 증가함에 따라 PL 피크에서 측정한 PL 소멸은 점차 빨라졌다. IPD 기법으로 성장한 양자점의 빠른 PL 소멸은 양자점 밀도와 종횡비 향상에 의한 파동함수 중첩의 증가와 구속 에너지 증가에 의한 것으로 설명된다.

Lithium niobate single crystals with various [Li]/[Nb] ratios were grown by the Czochralski method from melts having compositions varing between 48.6 ~ 58.0 mol % $Li_2O$. A vapor transport equilibration technique has been used to improve the homogeneity and adjust the [Li]/[Nb] ratio in small $LiNbO_3$ single crystals grown by the Czochralski method. When equilibrated with a Li-rich powder (65 mol%$Li_2O$), containing a mixture of $LiNbO_3$ and $Li_3NbO_4$, crystals of nearly stoichiometric composition can be obtained. This was established by studying the composition dependence of the following properties; lineshape, intensity and linewidth for the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) of $Fe^{3+}$ energy of the fundamental absorption edge and $OH^-$ absorption spectra.

Seed tunicates of Halocynthia roretzi (v. DRASCHE) which were artificially settled in Chungmu area were transplanted to Seonyudo and Eochungdo to know the feasibility of the tunicate culturing in the western coast of Korea. From April 1978 to March 1979, the growth of the transplanted tunicate in the two area was compared and analyzed in reference to the ecological factors. At the time when the seeds were transplanted, the mean body height of Halocynthia roretzi(V. DRASCHE) was 1.84 mm, body breadth 1.42 mm, and the body weight 15.0 mg. After 333 days the mean body height was 10.77 mm, body breadth 6.75 mm, and body weight 201 mg in Seonyudo area. In Eochungdo area the mean body height was 13.5 mm, body breadth 11.51 mu and body weight 880 mg. According to above results, it is possible to culture the seeds in Eochungdo area. Salinity $(29.2-32.0\%_{\circ})$ was favorable, water temperature $(6.8-26.8^{\circ}C)$ was not a critical factor, but the growth of the tunicate was affected by the high temperature$(over\;25.0^{\circ}C)$ in July. Transparency lower than 1.0 m seriously affects the growth of the tunicate, and it was one of the important factors inhibiting the growth of the tunicate. Seonyudo area was found out to be inadequate for the culture of the sea spuirt Halocynthie roretzi because of the retarded growth in body breadth and weight while showing extended growth in body length then leading to higher mortality owing to large amount of silting and fouling of the colonial tunicate, Didemnum (didemnum) moseleyi.

This study proposes a leaf modeling method that uses feature-based warping for efficient generation of various digital leaves. The proposed method uses warping method, one of image processing application techniques that can control various shapes of leaves in an easy, intuitive way, and generate natural patterns of veins efficiently. First, information on approximated contour is detected from a leaf blade image to identify the shape of a blade. Based on this, control line is automatically calculated to be used for feature-based warping. Then, control line-based warping is conducted to modify forms of leaf blade images in an intuitive way, automatically generating leaves of various shapes. And natural vein patterns are generated by applying a contour-based venation growth algorithm from contour information of the modified leaf blade images. This study performs experiments to verify whether various shape of leaves that comprise plants can be efficiently generated using a sample binary image of a blade. Also, we demonstrate that express the natural growth of leaves by applying warping to the growth of the leaf blade.

남강댐은 평지에 위치하여 댐 높이가 낮고 댐운영 수위의 편차가 작기 때문에 계획홍수위 아래 완경사 비탈면이 갈수기인 3월부터 5월 사이에 장기간 노출되어 5월 전후에 발아하는 식생 특히, 버들류가 이입, 성장하여 대규모 군락을 이루고 있다. 현재 형성된 대규모의 버들류 군락은 댐수질을 악화시킬 뿐만 아니라 자기솎음질(self-thinning)에 의해 고사한 버들류의 유목으로 인하여 댐운영에 많은 애로를 초래하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 버들류 군락 형성과 댐운영수위와의 상관관계를 도출하여 버들류를 적절하게 제어할 수 있는 댐운영 방안을 마련하기 위한 기초자료로 활용하고자 하였다. 따라서, 버들류의 이입시점을 명확히 파악하기 위하여 현재의 남강댐 건설 직후인 1979년, 2003년 2010년의 항공사진과 수심측량에 의한 지형도를 이용하여 버들류 군락의 확장 경향을 분석하였다. 또한, 버들류의 이입시점을 명확히 파악하기 위하여 방형구를 설치하여 버들류의 밀도 및 흉고직경을 조사하고, 성장추에 의한 수령을 조사, 분석하였다. 연구결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 남강댐 연안대에 분포하는 버들류는 총 17종이며, 출현빈도가 높은 종은 선버들(Salix nipponica), 버드나무(Salix nipponica), 왕버들(Salix gracilistyla), 등으로서 선버들(Salix nipponica)이 우점종인 것으로 조사되었다. 남강댐 연안대에 분포하는 버들류의 수령을 조사한 결과 수령은 약 9년~10년, 흉고직경 10~15cm, 수고 7~8m인 것으로 조사되었다. 댐운영수위와 버들류의 수령을 분석한 결과 2002년 5월 댐수위 38.5~41.0m 일 때 연안대의 수면부근에서 1단계로 이입, 정착한 것으로 보이며, 2004년 및 2005년 5월경에 댐수위 36m일 때 2단계로 이입, 정착하여 현재 대규모 군락을 형성한 것으로 추정된다. 남강댐 버들류 군락의 형성은 버들류의 발아기에 댐수위 부근의 습지에서 발아환경이 최적인 온도와 저토환경에서 일시에 이입, 성장한 것으로 보인다. 따라서, 남강댐과 같이 평야부에 위치한 댐에서 댐운영 및 댐수질에 영향을 미치는 버들류를 제어하기 위해서는 버들류의 발아기에 댐운영 수위를 최대한 높여 현재의 버들류 군락에 의하여 발아, 성장이 불가능하도록 하거나 아니면 댐운영 수위를 낮추어 발아해도 홍수기 동안 장기간의 침수에 의하여 고사되도록 하는 댐운영 방안을 마련해야 할 것이다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the anti-proliferative and apoptotic effects of acid extract of Gracilaria verrucosa (AEG) on RC-58T/h/SA#4 primary human prostate cancer cells. AEG significantly decreased the cell viability of prostate cancer cells in a dose-dependent manner. AEG also showed relatively low cytotoxicity on normal cell (RWPE-1). The morphology of prostate cancer cells treated with AEG was distorted to shrunken cell masses. In addition, it was revealed that AEG induced cell death as evidenced by increased formation of apoptotic body and nuclear condensation. Furthermore, AEG clearly modulated the down regulation of Bcl-2 (anti-apoptotic)/Bax (pro-apoptotic) family and activated caspase-3 as an effector caspase in a dose-dependent manner. AEG inhibited cell proliferation induced by environmental hormones as a bisphenol A in a dose-dependent manner. These results indicate that AEG act as anti-proliferative effects as a potential therapeutic agent on primary human prostate cancer cells.
