Oxide phosphorescent phosphor has an wide application in ceramic art and decoration due to its chemical and mechanical properties. Here, phosphorescent properties of strontium aluminate phosphor ($SrAl_2O_4:Eu^{2+}$, $Dy^{3+}$) emitting yellowish-green light was investigated with thermal treatment at $1250^{\circ}C$ under air and reducing atmosphere. The characterizations of thermally treated samples were analyzed using X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), fluorescence spectrometer. $SrAl_2O_4:Eu^{2+}$, $Dy^{3+}$ still showed a good phosphorescent properties after annealing process in reducing atmosphere, while phosphorescence of $SrAl_2O_4:Eu^{2+}$, $Dy^{3+}$ annealed in air seriously degraded, due to oxidation of $Eu^{2+}$ to $Eu^{3+}$ ions. It was also observed that $SrAl_2O_4:Eu^{2+}$, $Dy^{3+}$ annealed in reducing atmosphere emitted yellowish-green light during 3 h after being exposed to sunlight.

Large linear span makes difficult to predict, so this study is important to the security and code system. It has been studied about the non-linear binary sequences having low correlation values and large linear span. In this paper we analyze the linear span of $S^r_a(t)=Tr^m_1\{[Tr^n_m(a{\alpha}^t+{\alpha}^{dt})]^r\}$ ($a{\in}GF(2^m)$, $0{\leq}t{\leq}2^m-2$) where n=2m and $d=2^{m-2}(2^m+3)$.

In this study, the strain rate dependent tensile and compressive properties of PP-LGF and TPO was investigated under the high strain rate by using the Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB). The SHPB is the most widely used apparatus to characterize dynamic mechanical behavior of materials at high strain rates between 100 s^-1 and 10,000 s^-1. The SHPB test is based on the wave propagation theory which was developed to give the stress, strain and strain rate in the specimen using the strains measured in the incident and transmission bars. In addition, to verify the strain data obtained from SHPB, the specimen was photographed with a high-speed camera and compared with the strain data obtained through the Digital Image Correlation (DIC).

This study examined the characteristics and seasonal distribution patterns of subtidal marine algal communities along the east coast of Korea, from 2016 to 2017, and recorded the coverage ratio (%) by the algal type. During the study period, 134 marine algae species (16 green, 29 brown, and 89 red) were identified at the survey sites. The maximum number of species was observed at the Nagok site (70 species), and the minimum at the Gisamoon site (50 species). The total average biomass (dry weight) during the survey period was 66.22 g/m², including green algae (2.19 g/m²), brown algae (38.10 g/m²), and red algae (25.94 g/m²). The dominant seaweeds in the vertical distribution based on coverage rates (%) were Sargassum yezoense and Dictyopteris divaricata at the upper, Symphyocladia latiuscula and Undaria pinnatifida at the middle, and Agarum clathratum subsp. yakishiriense and Plocamium telfairiae at the lower sections of the distribution. Richness, evenness, and diversity index, calculated based on the biomass of the abundant species, were estimated to be 6.36, 0.55, and 1.98, respectively, over the entire sea area. Based on the evaluation of the environmental states using community indices, the ecological evaluation index (EEI-c) of subtidal marine algal communities along the east coast of Korea was marked as 'good-moderate'.

Organic pollutants that contained in stream sediments have origins of mountain soil in natural and cattle manure in human activity. Nitrogen and carbon isotope analysis for mountain soil, cattle manure and stream sediment were performed for contribution evaluation of organic pollutants in Toil stream of Yeongju dam basin. Average carbon isotope ratio(δ¹³C) is -25.17‰, -22.34‰, and -26.39‰ for river sediments, cattle manure and mountain soil, respectively. Result of carbon isotope analysis suggests that river sediments are more affected by acid soils. Average value of the nitrogen isotope ratio (δ¹⁵N) is 9.46% for river sediment, 1.99% for mountain soil, and 19.53% for cattle manure. Result of nitrogen isotopic analysis show that contribution of cattle mature is slightly higher than that of mountain soil in Toil stream sediments.

The purpose of this study is to provide information about annual variations in catch size and changes in reproductive biology in the common octopus, Octopus vulgaris, a commercially important species in Jeju Island. Samples were collected from coastal waters of Jeju Island, Korea by coastal trap fishery from January to November 2021. Octopus vulgaris have been decreasing in this region since 1984. The mantle length (ML) ranged from 4.5 to 17.8 cm and body weight (BW) ranged form 88.5 to 2,657.5 g. A χ²-test revealed that the number of males was significantly greater than females (χ² = 32.712, df = 10, P<0.05). Mature females were found from January to July and male occurred January to August. The gonadosomatic index value was higher from July to August than other months. The relationship between mantle length and body weight was BW = 2.4527ML^2.3139 (female) and BW = 2.6785ML^2.3159 (male). At 50% group maturity, female and male average weight was estimated to be 554.7 g and 330.6 g, respectively.

This study aimed to compare the color stability and surface roughness of three-dimensional (3D) printing resin according to polishing methods. 3D-printed resin specimens were fabricated at TC-80DP (Graphy, Seoul, Korea) with a stereolithography 3D printer, and the specimens were divided into three groups, each of which was not polished, was polished using Enhance^®, and was polished using a Sof-Lex^TM disc. The CIE L^*a^*b^* value and the surface roughness of each group were measured and immersed in artificial saliva and orange juice after 0, 1, 7, 30, and 60 days, and the color difference (ΔE^*) was calculated. As a result of the study, no noticeable color change was observed in artificial saliva, but a noticeable color change was demonstrated in orange juice after 60 days of immersion, and the difference was significant. In the Sof-Lex^TM group, surface roughness according to the solution was found to be significantly higher in the orange juice than that in artificial saliva. No significant difference in color change was found according to the polishing method, but surface roughness was significantly lower in the Sof-Lex^TM group than both that of the unpolished group and that of the Enhance^® group. Nevertheless, all groups exhibited clinically acceptable properties regardless of their higher surface roughness than the threshold for plaque accumulation. Overall, this study recommends utilizing Sof-Lex^TM for polishing 3D printing resin when used in primary anterior tooth coverage.

A survey of the artificial radionuclides in rivers and lakes was conducted to investigate their levels in surface water. Water samples were collected at 60 points and analyzed by gamma-ray spectrometry with a measurement time of 10,000 seconds for ¹³⁴Cs, ¹³⁷Cs, and ¹³¹I. The obained values were lower than MDA for all points, except one point for ¹³¹I that was 0.533±0.058 Bq/L. ¹³¹I is known as a radioactive material that occurs frequently in sewage treatment plants. Because it is often used for medical treatments and subject to spreading into the environment due to the excretion from the patients. For the point where ¹³¹I was detected, we conducted additional investigation on the upstream river point and the effluent points of nearby sewage treatment plant to find the source of ¹³¹I. ¹³¹I was not detected at the upstream points of one of the upstream sewage treatment plants but found at the downstream points with the level being 0.257±0.034 to 0.799±0.051 Bq/L, proving the sewage treatment plant was the ¹³¹Isource.

The aim of this study was to investigate in vitro antioxidant activities of defatted Camellia japonica L. seeds (DCJS). The DCJS were extracted using ethanol and then fractionated with butanol (BuOH), ethyl acetate (EtOAc), chloroform, and hexane. To evaluate antioxidant activity of extract and fractions from DCJS, we investigated free radical scavenging activities such as 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS⁺), hydroxyl radical (^•OH), and superoxide anion (O₂^-) radicals. The five extract and fractions of DCJS dose-dependently increased DPPH, ABTS⁺ and O₂^- radical scavenging activities. The BuOH fraction of DCJS showed the highest free radical scavenging activities among other extract and fractions. The contents of total polyphenol and flavonoid in BuOH fraction of DCJS were 23.26 mg GAE/g and 32.39 mg QE/g, respectively. The polyphenol and flavonoids contents of BuOH fraction has highest than other extract and fractions. In addition, BuOH and EtOAc fraction of DCJS contained 102.37 and 165.05 ㎍/g of camelliaside B, respectively. Therefore, DCJS has higher antioxidant activity and may be useful as a natural antioxidant material.
