The annual borate production in Turkey is about 3 million tons, which occupies approximately 61 percent of total annual world production. Turkey has five boron deposits including Bigadic, Emet, Kestelek, Kirka, and Sultancayir. At present, Bigadic, Emet, and Kirka deposits are operating. Kirka boron deposit is distributed within volcanoclatic sedimentary group as mainly layered, rarely brecciated and massive types. Major borate is borax associated with colemanite and ulexite. They show a horizontal symmetrical zonation from Na borate (borax) in the center of deposit to Na-Ca borate (ulexite) and Ca-borate (colemanite) in margin. Bigadic boron deposit is known as the largest colemanite deposit in the world. This deposit occurs as two borate bearing horizons in Miocene volcanoclastic sedimentary group. Thickness ranges from several meters to 100 meter with a length of several hundreds meters. Borate ore bodies which are mainly composed of colemanite and ulexite are alternated with claystone, mudstone, tuff and layered limestone as lenticular shape. Sultancayir boron deposit is mainly distributed within gray limestone. Main borate minerals of this deposit are pandermite and ulexite. Pandermite and ulexite occur as colloform aggregate and small veinlet, respectively. Turkish boron deposits are evaporite deposit which were formed in Miocene playa-lake environment. Boron was supplied to the deposits by the volcanic and hydrothermal activities.

The distributions, factors, and vegetation covers of debris slopes and changes of debris at the eastern Ongjeom-ri, Cheongsong-gun are analyzed. The important factors influencing on the developments of the slopes are felsites having advantages to the developments of cliffs and supply of enough debris, and the relatively long days below zero temperatures promoting the physical weathering processes. The distributional areas of the slopes at southern and western slopes are more extensive than those of northern and eastern slopes due to the active water evaporation by high insolation. The Ga area at eastern Ongjeom-ri has experienced the steady decreases of area of the slopes due to the vegetation covers and shows the increasing rates of vegetation covers of $431.0m^2/yr$ as averaged values. However, it is estimated at the Na area using terrestrial LIDAR that 1 or 2 debris were moved or displaed per year in slope.

The Zagros fold-thrust belt formed from the collision of the Arabian and Eurasian plates during Cenozoic periods and extends for 2,000 km, from Turkey to the Hormuz Strait, in the northeast-southwest direction. Anticline traps in the front of the Zagros thrust fold hold approximately 8% of the world's petroleum reserves. Middle Cretaceous to Early Miocene petroleum systems of the belt have the largest original oil in place (OOIP). The oil is expelled from Kazhdumi and Pabdeh source rocks, and accumulated in the Asmari and Bangestan (including Sarvak and Ilam formations) reservoir rocks covered by the evaporitic Gachsaran and the marly Gurpi formations. The hydrocarbons trapped in the Asmari and Sarvak reservoirs are mainly charged (more than 90%) by the Kazhdumi Formation whereas the rest are charged by the Pabdeh Formation. In the Dezful Embayment, all the large high-relief anticlines have been drilled into, except in the Asmari, Sarvak and Khami formations, where a few anticlines of smaller size and deeper strata remain unexplored. Therefore, the exploration potential of these regions strengthens our understanding of the Zagros fold-thrust belt's petroleum system.

Because liquids with high molecular weight such as mineral oil have low vapor pressure at room temperature, it is generally thought to be difficult to lose them to evaporation. However, when they are dispersed into air in small droplets during application in machining processes, their surface area becomes considerably higher. To determine the potential for metalworking fluids (MWF) filter losses, MWF mist was generated and collected on polyvinyl chloride (PVC) filters in test chamber. After collected MWF was exposed to clean air during designated period (range 10~240 minutes) and the filters were desiccated, losses were evaluated. As duration of clean air passing through PVC filter increased, loss of MWF gradually increased. MWF lost after 10 minutes ranged form 12.4 % to 21.8 % of the original loading mass, on average 53.3 % of the total loss. These results indicate that significant mass of MWF collected on PVC filters can be lost at the beginning of air sampling. Loss of MWF collected on PVC filter also occurred during desiccation without active airflow. In multiple regression to identify which factors influence the loss of MWF collected on PVC filter, both duration of air passing through PVC filter and MWF age (fresh vs. used) were significant predictor (p=0.0001). Therefore, workers' exposure to MWF measured method 0500, may underestimate true concentration. Further study is needed to develop a new method to quantify the workers' exposure to airborne MWF mist accurately.

This study, combining geophysical and environmental approaches, was undertaken to investigate the causes of secondary salinity in the Goondoola basin, in southwestern Queensland. Airborne radiometric, electromagnetic and ground electromagnetic datasets were acquired, along with data on soils and subsurface materials and groundwater. Relationships established between radiometric, elevation data, and measured material properties allowed us to generate predictive maps of surface materials and recharge potential. Greatest recharge to the groundwater is predicted to occur on the weathered bedrock rises surrounding the basin. Electromagnetic data (airborne, ground, and downhote), used in conjunction with soil and drillhole measurements, were used to quantify regolith salt store and to define the subsurface architecture. Conductivity measurements reflect soil salt distribution. However, deeper in the regolith, where the salt content is relatively constant, the AEM signal is influenced by changes in porosity or material type. This allowed the lateral distribution of bedrock weathering zones to be mapped. Salinisation in this area occurs because of local-andintermediate-scale processes, controlled strongly by regolith architecture. The present surface outbreak is the result of evaporative concentration above shallow saline groundwater, discharging at break of slope. The integration of surficial and subsurface datasets allowed the identification of similar landscape settings that are most at risk of developing salinity with groundwater rise. This information is now being used by local land managers to refine management choices that prevent excess recharge and further salt mobilisation.

We investigate the dependence of indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films on the mixing ratio of Ar:O$_2$ produced by an ion-gun and $O_2$ injected inside the divergence angle of the ion-beam to optimize their sheet resistance and transmittance. The substrate is placed outside the divergence angle, and the films are grown by ion mixing with ITO evaporated at room temperature. From the XRD measurement ITO films are found to be amorphous. ITO thin films show the highest transmittance of 85% at 3$\times$10$^{-5}$ Torr of 0$_2$ and Ae:O$_2$ ratio of 40:60, and the smallest sheet resistance of 132 $\Omega$/$\square$at 1$\times$10$^{-5}$ Torr of $O_2$ and As:O$_2$ ratio of 40:60.

The main purpose of these studies were to clarify differences in Cheju - scoria and other solid media on quantity and quality of cherry tomatoes and on shift of component of the nutrient solution, and to use Practically Cheju-scoria as an excellent solid culture medium. The results obtained were summarized as follows ; 1. Among scoria plots, the rates of dry weights, fruits and their sugar-acid ratio were higher in the plot that was drained well with deep flow for one hour once a day. 2. Fresh fruit weights were lighter in rockwool and deep flow technique, but larger in scoria, Hyugashi (artificial gravel, $\Phi$10-12mm) and perlite in moving to higher flower cluster. 3. The results of analysis on microelement among solution components showed decrease of concentrations of P and K in the period of growth and development. 4. Yields and brix of cherry tomato showed a tendency to increase in rockwool and Hyugashi than anothers. 5. The concentration of fertilizer base was increased in general solution culture. Transpiration and absorption were similar in scoria plot and other media. 6. More studies of the Cheju-scoria development is required in order to use it as a solid medium for solution culture.

The Cd1-xZnxS thin films were grown on the Si(100) wafers by a hot wall epitaxy method (HWE). the source and substrate temperature are 600℃ and 440℃, respectively. The crystalline structure of epilayers was investigated by double crystal X-ray diffraction (DCXD). Hall effect on the sample was measured by the van der Pauw method and the carrier density and mobility dependence of Hall characteristics on temperature was also studied. In order to explore the applicability as a photoconductive cell, we measured the sensitivity (γ), the ratio of photocurrent to darkcurrent (pc/dc), maximum allowable power dissipation (MAPD), spectral response and response time. The results indicated that the best photoconductive characteristic were observed in the Cd0.53Zn0.47S samples annealed in Cu vapor comparing with in Cd, Se, air and vacuum vapour. Then we obtained the sensitivity of 0.99, the value of pc/dc of 1.65 × 107, the MAPD of 338mW, and the rise and decay time of 9.7 ms and 9.3 ms, respectively.

토양수분량은 가뭄, 홍수 및 갈수 예보, 유출 해석, 작물의 소비수량 산정과 같이 국가 물 관리 및 수자원 계획 및 개발 등의 목적으로 활용되고 있다. 또한, 생태수문학의 중요한 인자로써 식생의 성장 및 변동의 원인과 결과를 동시에 제공한다. 이는 대기의 상호작용 및 총체적인 물 수지와 관련되며 지표면의 침투, 증발산, 오염물의 이송 및 생태계에도 중요한 인자로 활용된다. 토양수분량은 수자원 부존량에 차지하는 비중은 매우 적지만 대상유역의 유출기구 특성을 지배하는 주요인자로 작용하여 홍수량의 규모에 크게 영향을 미친다. 미국 등 여러 선진 외국에서는 오래 전부터 토양수분에 대한 이론적인 개념을 정립하여 토양수분량을 정기적으로 관측해 오고 있다. 우리나라 또한 토양수분량 관측을 하고 있으며, 주로 농업목적으로 토양수분량 관측소가 운영되고 있다. 그 중 기상청에서는 주로 농업기상관측 항목에 포함하여 농업기상관측소를 운영하고 있으며, 농촌진흥청에서는 농작물의 생육 목적으로 토양수분량 자료를 관측하고 있다. 하지만, 유역 단위의 가뭄과 물 순환을 규명하기 위한 연구가 부족하여 최근 국토교통부에서는 유역 단위의 토양수분량 자료생산 연구를 계획하고 있다. 유역 단위의 토양수분관측의 어려움은 주로 산지에서 발생하는 토양수분의 변동이다. 이는 사면의 유출과 식생의 영향 및 기반암의 영향을 받기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 청미천(수레의산)과 설마천(감악산) 산지 사면에 설치된 유전율식(TDR, Time Domain Reflectometer)장비로 관측된 최근 3년간(2015~2017)의 데이터를 이용하여 경년변화특성을 분석하였다. 분석 결과는 유역의 물 순환을 규명하는데 가장 중요한 연구로써 활용될 것으로 기대된다.
