Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) have been used as biological control agents for control of various agro-forest insect pests, and are especially effective against soil-dwelling insect pests. Effect of soil moisture on pathogenicity of commercial EPNs for white grub control was evaluated in laboratory, pots, and golf courses. Pathogenicity of EPNs in sand column was variable depending on depth, soil moisture, and EPN species or strain. All tested EPNs (Heterorhabditis sp. GSNUH1, Heterorhabditis sp. GSNUH2, Steinernema carpocapsae GSN1, and S. longicaudum Nonsan strain) showed similar pathogenicity against the bait insect, great wax moth (Galleria mellonella) larva at 2 cm deep at a given soil moisture. However, pathogenicity of the Heterorhabditis sp. GSNUH1 strain was decreased with increasing soil moisture. Pathogenicity of S. carpocapsae GSN1 strain was the lowest in 3% soil moisture (v/w) at 7 cm depth. However, there was no difference in pathogenicity between Heterorhabditis sp. GSNUH2 and S. longicaudum Nonsan strain. Although pathogenicity of Heterorhabditis sp. KCTC 0991BP strain showed no difference against the 2nd instar of Exomala orientalis, that of the S. carpocapsae GSN1 strain was decreased in the laboratory depending on soil moisture. Highly pathogenic strain EPN, Heterorhabditis sp. KCTC 0991BP strain, showed higher pathogenicity at 100 mm irrigation than non-irrigation or 10 mm irrigation. However, poor pathogenic strain EPN, S. carpocapsae GSN1 strain, was not different in pathogenicity from the 2nd instar of Exomala orientalis in creeping bentgrass (Agrostis palustris) depending on irrigation amount in the pot. Pathogenicity of EPNs in field experiment at the tee of Ulsan golf club showed a similar trend to that in the pot experiment.

An exopolysaccharide-producing microalgal dinoflagellate was isolated from a red-tide bloom and des­ignated strain KG03. A bacteria-free culture of strain KG03 was achieved using a modified wash with phototaxis and antibiotic treatment. Combined treatment with neomycin and cephalosporin was the most effective for eliminating the bacteria associated with the microalgae. Strain KG03 was identified as Gyrodinium impudicum by analyzing the ITS regions of the 5.8S rDNA, 18S rDNA, morphological phenotype and fatty acid composition. The exopolysaccharide production and cell growth in a 300-ml photobioreactor were increased 2.7- and 2.4-fold, respectively, compared with that in a flask culture at the first isolation step.

This study numerically and experimentally investigated on thermal strain analysis of aluminum alloy casting mold using metal foundry. To predict the numerical result of thermal strain in Al alloy casting mold during the cooling process, it is performed the investigation of temperature distribution, stress and displacement based on the physical properties of Al alloy. In results of this study, Al alloy casting mold represented rapidly cooling graph during initial 20minutes after beginning cooling process, therefore value of stress and displacement is rapidly changed during initial 20minutes after beginning cooling process. In addition to, temperature distribution obtained by experiment confirmed corresponding pattern then compared numerical analysis with experiment. These results are distribute to make the effective and the high precision casting mold.

실리카질 모래에 대한 많은 시험결과로부터 삼축압축시첩과 평면변형시험간의 강도관계를 밀도와 파괴시 유효평균주응력의 함수로 표현하였다. 또한 파괴시 평균주응력과 축차응력간의 응력비가 내부마찰각의 함수로 잘 규정되었으며 그 비는 내부마찰각의 증가에 따라 감소하였다. 또한 중간주응력을 최대주응력과 최소주응력으로써 표현하였으며 이론적인 파괴면의 각도와 평면변형시험에서 관찰된 파괴면의 각도가 비교적 잘 일치함이 확인되었다.

Among the root colonizing and plant growth promoting bacteria isolated from the bacterial wilt suppressive soil, five strains were detected to produce siderophores by CAS agar assay. The most effective isolate, TS3-7 strain induced significant suppression of bacterial wilt disease in tomato and pepper plants. Seed treatment followed by soil drench application with this strain resulted in over 80% reduction of bacterial wilt disease compared with the control. Significant disease suppression by TS3-7 strain was related to the production of siderophore. Besides iron competition, induction of resistance of the host plant with siderophore was suggested to be another mode of action that suppress bacterial wilt, based on the lack of direct antibiosis against pathogen in vitro. According to Bergey's Manual of Systemic Bacteriology and 16S rDNA sequence data, TS3-7 stain was identified as Pseudomonas sp. TS3-7.

Identification of damage location based on modal measurement is an important problem in structural health monitoring. The damage index method that attempts to evaluate the changes in modal strain energy distribution has been found to be effective under certain circumstances. In this paper two damage index methods using bending strain energy and shear strain energy have been evaluated for numerous cases at different locations and degrees of damage. The objective is to evaluate the feasibility of the damage index method to localize the damage on large span concrete bridge. Finite element models were used as the test structures. Finally this method was used to predict the damage location in an actual structure, using the results of a modal survey from a large concrete bridge.

We evaluated a-Si:H TFTs fabricated on polyimide substrate (PI) at the highest temperature of $160^{\circ}C$ with uniaxial and tensile strain to imitate flexible display. With tensile strain, the threshold voltage of a-Si:H TFTs have positive shift due to extra dangling bond formation in a-Si:H layer. However, no significant degradation of the subthreshold swing and effective mobility with tensile strain of a-Si:H TFTs indicates the similar level of band tail state. The metal wire with the width of $10\;{\mu}m$ for connection on flexible substrate can sustain with curvature radius 2.5 cm.

The effects of room temperature and strain aging treatment are discussed on the critical condition for the onset of growth of non-propagating cracks on 0.15% C low carbon steel, with special emphasis on the length of the critical non-propagating crack and on the crack opening displacement(COD) at the crack tip. It is found from the experimental analysis that room temperature and strain aging of a fatigue pre-cracked specimen introduced the closure of a crack tip of the pre-crack and the reduction of crack opening displacement at the wake of crack, together with an improvement in crack growth resistance of the microstructure. This may cause an increase in the endurance limit of the specimen, through the enhancement of effective stress for the onset of growth of the critical non-propagating crack.

In this work, some inaccuracies and limitation of prior indentation theory, which is based on the deformation theory of plasticity and experimental observations, are first investigated. Then effects of major material properties on the configuration of indentation load-deflection curve are examined via incremental plasticity theory based finite element analyses. It is confirmed that subindenter deformation and stress-strain distribution from the deformation theory of plasticity are quite dissimilar to those from incremental theory of plasticity. We finally suggest the optimal data acquisition location, where the strain gradient is the least and the effect of friction is negligible. This data acquisition point increases the strain range by a factor of five.

The hot deformation behavior of SiCp/AA2024 composites reinforced with different sizes of SiCp reinforcements (1, 8, 15, 36, and 44${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) was investigated by hot torsion tests. The hot restoration of the composites depending on the SiCp reinforcements particle size was studied from the effective stress - strain curves. Dynamic recrystallization (DRX) was occurred in the SiCp/AA2024 composites during the hot deformation at 320 - 43$0^{\circ}C$ under a strain rate of 1.0/sec. Also, the critical strain for DRX decreased with decreasing the reinforcement size of SiCp from 44 to 8${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The composite reinforced with SiCp of 8${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ showed the highest flow stress (265 MPa) and the work hardening rate at 32$0^{\circ}C$ under a strain rate of 1.0/sec.
