This study was carried out to investigate plow pan characteristics and to grasp the relationship between its particle size distribution fractal dimension ($D_m$) and water transport in paddy plow pan. Twenty four soil sampling sites with different management groups, ordinary and sandy-textured, were selected and investigated for physical properties of soils such as Yamanaka hardness in April, non-submerged condition, before rice seedling transplanting. The plow pan appearing depth and thickness was determined by penetration resistance profile. Undisturbed core samples with five replicates were sampled at plow pan layerwith 2 inch cores for measuring soil bulk density and saturated hydraulic conductivity. The particle size distribution fractal dimension ($D_m$) was calculated by the method following the procedure Tylerand Wheacraft (1992), using the USDA-based particle size analysis datawith fractions of 0-0.002, 0.002-0.053, 0.053-0.1, 0.1-0.25, 0.25-0.5, 0.5-1.0, and 1.0-2.0 mm. The plow pan of investigated fields appeared at a range from 5 to 30 cm depth, showing minimum value in sandy-textured management group and maximum value in ordinary management group. The thickness of plow pan were distributed from 5 to 17 cm, showing both minimum and maximum values in sandy-textured management group. Averagely, the plow appearing depth were deeper in ordinary management group than in sandy-textured management group, whereas the reverse in the thickness of plow pan. The particle size distribution fractal dimension ($D_m$) had higher value with finer textures, with higher fractality in coarser texture. Saturated hydraulic conductivities, $K_s$, of plow pan soils distributed from 0.5 to 1420 mm $day^{-1}$, having the highest value in sandy skeletal soils. The $K_s$ decreased with decreasing clay content and $D_m$, showing power function relationships. The coefficient of determination, $R^2$, of the fitted power functions were higher in $D_m$ as x-axis than in clay content. This means that $D_m$ could give us more effective estimation than clay content. Especially, sandy-textured paddy soils had higher $R^2$, compared to ordinary paddy soils. $K_s$ of relatively coarse-textured soils with less than 18%of clay content, therefore, was more dependent on particle size distribution than that of relatively fine-textured soils. From these results, it could be concluded that the fractal scaling gives us a unique quantity describing particle size distribution and then can be applied to estimate saturated hydraulic conductivity, especially more effective in coarse-textured soils.

Transparent ZnO/Ti/ZnO (ZTZ) tri-layered films were prepared with radio frequency (RF) and direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering on the glass substrate. The thickness of the ZnO and Ti films was kept at 50 and 10 nm to consider the effect of the electron irradiation on the crystallization and optoelectrical properties of the films. From the XRD spectra, post-depostion electron irradiated films showed the characteristic peaks of ZnO(002) and Ti(200), respectively. the observed grain size of the ZnO(002) and Ti(200) enlarged up to 18.27 and 12.16 nm at an irradiation condition of 750 eV. In the figure of merit which means an optoelectrical performance of the films, as deposited films show a figure of merit of 2.0×10^-5 𝛺^-1, while the films electron irradiated at 750 eV show a higher figure of merit of 5.7×10^-5 𝛺^-1.

In this paper, we propose a frequency synchronization algorithm using characteristic of CAZAC sequence for HDR-WPAN and analyze the performance by signal constellation and EVM(error vector magnitude). The proposed frequency offset technique estimated each sample phase error of two sequences among 12 CAZAC sequences which have excellent autocorrelated characteristic. Estimated phase error is multiplied to each sample of next sequence for compensating the frequency offset. The remaining frequency offset after compensating it with two sequences has maximum 0.002 offsest ranges at each sample. The computer simulation proved that the permission of EVM value had satisfied in the case of DQPSK at 20[dB].

Objective: To investigate imaging biomarkers of microperfusion in contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) using contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS). Materials and Methods: The CIN model was fabricated by administering indomethacin (10 mg/kg), L-NAME (15 mg/kg), and iopamidol (10 mL/kg) to Sprague-Dawley rats. After 24 hours, CEUS was performed on CIN (n = 6) and control (n = 6) rats with sulphur hexafluoride microbubbles (SonoVue). From time-intensity curves obtained from the kidney arriving time (AT), acceleration time (AC), time to peak (TTP), and peak enhancement (PE) were measured and compared between the groups. After CEUS, the rats were sacrificed, and cell apoptosis markers were evaluated to confirm the development of CIN. Results: Among CEUS parameters, AT (7.8 ± 1.6 vs. 4.2 ± 0.5 s, p = 0.002), AC (4.7 ± 1.4 vs. 2.0 ± 0.4 s, p = 0.002), and TTP (12.5 ± 2.9 vs. 6.2 ± 0.6 s, p = 0.002) were significantly prolonged in the CIN group compared to controls. PE was significantly higher in the control group than in the CIN group (17.1 ± 1.9 vs. 12.2 ± 2.0 dB, p = 0.004). In kidney tissue, mRNA and protein levels of the apoptotic makers were significantly higher in the CIN group than in the control group (p = 0.003 and p = 0.002). Conclusion: CEUS parameters can be used as imaging biomarkers for microperfusion in CIN. In rats with CIN, AT, AC, and TTP were significantly prolonged, while PE was significantly lower compared to controls.

Partial mesophase (PM) pitch precursor was prepared from fluidized catalytic cracking-decant oils (FCC-DO) by chemical reaction in the presence of $Br_2$. The PM pitch heated-treatment at $420^{\circ}C$ for 9 h exhibited the softening point of $297^{\circ}C$ with 23% yield, and 55% anisotropic content. The PM pitch precursor was melt-spun through circular nozzle by pressurized $N_2$, stabilized at $310^{\circ}C$, carbonized at $700^{\circ}C$, $1000^{\circ}C$, and $1200^{\circ}C$. The enough stabilization introduced 16.4% of the oxygen approximately. The stacking height ($L_{c002}$) and interlayer spacing ($d_{002}$) of the as-spun fibers were 4.58 nm and $3.45{\AA}$ and the value became minimum and maximum at $700^{\circ}C$ respectively in the carbonization procedure. The tensile strength increased with an increase in the heat treatment temperature exhibiting highest value of 750 MPa at $1200^{\circ}C$ carbonization.

We report the results of a real-time synchrotron x-ray scattering study of the growth of TiN thin films on Si(001) substrates by RF sputtering. Our experiemnts show that the morphology of the TiN films strongly depends on growth conditions. After the nucleation and growth takes place with random crystallographic orientation at the very early stage, the films grow with a preferred orientation. Such preferred orientation was found to depend on both the sputtering power and the carrier gases used in the sputtering. Generally, the final morphology assumes either(111) or (002) crystallographic orientation. Using Ar sputtering, a cross-over effect from(002) to (111) was observed at intermediate time. The nature of the observed morphological changes is discussed.

We have investigated the effects of an external magnetic field on the growth direction and the grain size of electrochemically prepared CoPtP alloys. Electrodeposited CoPtP alloys were synthesized by appling an external magnetic field with 0 to 1 T to the perpendicular direction of the films. In the electrodeposited CoPtP alloys without external magnetic field, the growth direction of the alloys was mixed by fcc (111) and hop (002), but only hop (002) was observed in the alloys with 1 T external magnetic field. CoPtP alloys were grown as the columnar growth and the grain size increases with growing the alloys. With appling an external field, the grain size of the alloys was controlled less than 20 nm which is smaller than single domain of Co, and the easy axis of alloys, hcp (002) direction, was grown perpendicular to the films up to 200 nm. We could obtain the optimal thickness of the alloys and electrodeposition condition from the above results. Coercivity and squareness of CoPtP alloys taken out-of-plane are 6.1 kOe and 0.9, respectively. The magnetic properties of CoPtP alloys were measured by VSM, and the microstructural characterization and crystalline orientation measurement of the alloys were carried out by TEM and XRD.
