This study was performed to develop a more rapid and simple nutrient diagnosis method of plants than the conventional leaf analysis method. Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L. cv. jangil banbaek) was planted in the mixed media produced by mixing perlite and rock wool at 1:1 (v/v) ratio. The Yamazakki nutrient solution for cucumber was supplied to the media using micro-drip irrigation system. Experimental plots were consisted of no fertilization, deficient fertilization, adequate fertilization, and surplus fertilization for N, P and K. Specific color difference sensor value (SCDSV) measured by chlorophyll meter was closely related to total-N concentration in leaves measured by the conventional method. Nitrate, $PO_4$ and K concentration in petiole sap measured by test strips showed a significant relationship with total-N, P and K concentration in leaves. Linear regression equations between $NO_3$, $PO_4$ and K concentration in petiole sap and total-N, P and K concentration in the leaves were prepared. Optimum levels of $NO_{3}$, $PO_{4}$ and K in petiole sap were obtained by plugging the optimum concentrations of total-N, P and K in the leaves by other researchers into the equations. In conclusion, the SCDSV measured by chlorophyll meter and the concentration of $NO_3$, P and K in petiole sap measured by the test strips would be suitable for rapid estimation of plant nutrient status.

In this paper, warpage analysis that separates PCB for PoP (Package on Package) into unit and substrate using FEM (Finite Element Method), analysis of the effect of layer thickness on warpage, and SN (Signal-to-Noise) ratio by Taguchi method was carried. According to the analysis result, the contribution of the circuit layer on warpage was very high in the unit PCB, and the contribution of the outer layer was particularly high. On the other hand, the substrate PCB had a high influence of the circuit layer on warpage, but it was relatively low compared to the unit PCB, and the influence of the solder resist was rather increased. Therefore, considering the unit PCB and the substrate PCB at the same time, it is desirable to design the PCB for PoP layer-by-layer structure so that the outer and inner circuit layers are thick, the top solder resist is thin, and the thickness of the bottom solder resist is between 5 ㎛ and 25 ㎛.

Luminescence properties of $NaCa(PO_3)_3$ doped with $Tb^{3+}$ ions are investigated by optical and laser excitation spectroscopy. The phosphors were prepared by solidstate reaction method The X-ray diffraction(XRD) was used to analyze the crystal structure and the crystallinity of the samples. The excitation and emission spectra and decay curve of $NaCa(PO_3)_3:Tb^{3+}$(0.01 ~ 30mol%) were measured at room temperature. The f - d band of $Tb^{3+}$ is observed in the excitation spectra of $NaCa(PO_3)_3:Tb^{3+}$ in the wave length region 205 ~ 245 nm. Strong emission lines due to the $^5D_4{\rightarrow}^7F_J$ transition and weak emission lines due to the $^5D_4{\rightarrow}^7F_J$ transition are observed in the emission spectra of $NaCa(PO_3)_3:Tb^{3+}$. The energy transfer and cross relaxation between $Tb^{3+}$ ions are discussed in $NaCa(PO_3)_3:Tb^{3+}$ in the emission spectra and life time.

The reduced graphene oxide(rGO)/aluminum phosphate($AlPO_4$)-coated $LiMn_{1.5}Ni_{0.5}O_4$ (LMNO) cathode material has been developed by hydroxide precursor method for LMNO and by a facile solution based process for the coating with GO/$AlPO_4$ on the surface of LMNO, followed by annealing process. The amount of $AlPO_4$ has been varied from 0.5 wt % to 1.0 wt %, while the amount of rGO is maintained at 1.0 wt %. The samples have been characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The rGO/$AlPO_4$-coated LMNO electrodes exhibit better cyclic performance compared to that of pristine LMNO electrode. Specifically, rGO(1%)/$AlPO_4$(0.5%)- and rGO(1%)/$AlPO_4$(1%)-coated electrodes deliver a discharge capacity of, respectively, $123mAhg^{-1}$ and $122mAhg^{-1}$ at C/6 rate, with a capacity retention of, respectively, 96% and 98% at 100 cycles. Furthermore, the surface-modified LMNO electrodes demonstrate higher-rate capability. The rGO(1%)/$AlPO_4$(0.5%)-coated LMNO electrode shows the highest rate performance demonstrating a capacity retention of 91% at 10 C rate. The enhanced electrochemical performance can be attributed to (1) the suppression of the direct contact of electrode surface with the electrolyte, resulting in side reactions with the electrolyte due to the high cut-off voltage, and (2) smaller surface resistance and charge transfer resistance, which is confirmed by total polarization resistance and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.

The sodium-iron phosphate maricite-$NaFe_{0.9}Mn_{0.1}PO_4$ was synthesized using the ball mill method. The crystal structure and magnetic properties of the prepared materials were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), and $M{\ddot{o}}ssbauer$ spectroscopy. Structural refinement of maricite-$NaFe_{0.9}Mn_{0.1}PO_4$ was analyzed using the FullProf program. From the XRD patterns, the crystal structure of maricite-$NaFe_{0.9}Mn_{0.1}PO_4$ was found to be orthorhombic with the space group Pmnb. The lattice parameters of maricite-$NaFe_{0.9}Mn_{0.1}PO_4$ are as follows: $a_0=6.866{\AA}$, $b_0=8.988{\AA}$, $c_0=5.047{\AA}$, and $V=311.544{\AA}^3$. Maricite-$NaFePO_4$ has an edge-sharing structure that consists of $FeO_6$ octahedral. Under an applied field of 100 Oe, the temperature dependences of zero-field-cooled (ZFC) and field-cooled (FC) curves were measured from 4.2 to 295 K. $M{\ddot{o}}ssbauer$ spectra were also recorded at various temperatures ranging from 4.2 to 295 K. We thus confirmed that the $N{\acute{e}}el$ temperature of $NaFe_{0.9}Mn_{0.1}PO_4$ ($T_N=14K$) was lower than that of maricite-$NaFePO_4$ ($T_N=15K$).

The probabilistic fatigue life analysis is one of the common methods to account the uncertainty of parameters on the structural failure. Frequently, the Bayesian approach has been demonstrated as a proper method to show the uncertainty of parameters. In this work, the application of probabilistic fatigue life prediction method for the aircraft structure was studied. This effort was conducted by using the PoF(Probability of Failure) based on Bayesian approach. Furthermore, numerical example was carried out to confirm the validation of the suggested approach. In conclusion, it was shown that the Bayesian approach can calculate the probabilistic fatigue lives and the quantitative value of PoF effectively for the aircraft structural component. Moreover the calculated probabilistic fatigue lives can be utilized to determine the optimized inspection period of aircraft structures.

The nonstoichiometry (x) of UO2+x and (Er0.06U0.94)O2+x has been in-situ measure against oxygen activity (Po2) at elevated temperatures by a coulometric titration method. From the dependence of the oxygen excess (x) of UO2+x on Po2 at 1000℃, it has been concluded that (2Vo2Oia2Oib)〃〃and (2Vo2Oia2Oib)' clusters are prevailing at low oxygen partial pressure [log(Po2/atm) -10.6] and at high oxygen partial pressure [log(Po2/atm) -10.6], respectively. The nonstoichiometry is found to be reduced with the addition of Er, which is ascribed to the fact that the fixed-valent Er3+ reduces the oxidation capacities of UO2+x. The enthalpy of oxygen incorporation in (Er0.06li0.94)O2+x has been evaluated from the mean valences of U-ion as -180±70 kJ/mole.

Fracture behavior was investigated in the $Al_2O_3-TiO_2(3 wt{\%})-LaPO_4(25 wt{\%}$) composite ceramics. To improve the fracture toughness of alumina ceramics, $TiO_2$ and $LaPO_4$ as a second phase were introduced. The samples were made by conventional powder processing method. Green compacts were sintered at $1600^{\circ}C$ for 2 h in air. Fracture toughness was tested using Indentation Strength Bending(ISB) method. From the bending test, enhanced fracture toughness was found in the composite, compared to the pure and $TiO_2$-doped alumina. The main factor of the enhancement of fracture toughness seems to be attributed to the weak interphase role of the $LaPO_4$ as a particulate type.

A new Kirchhoff approximation(KA) method was proposed for microwave scttering from randomly rough surfaces. Using the spectral representation of delta function and its sifting theorem, a new KA was formulated directly without any further approximation, and this formulated was used to compute exact backscttering coefficients. The validity of the KA was verified by a numerical method, and this new KA technique was used to evaluate the existing approximated KkA methods; i.t., the zeroth-order and the first-order approximated physical optics(PO) models. It was shown that the first-order approximated PO model has small error than the zeroth-order approximated PO model at low incidence angles and the opposite happens at higher incidence angles. This new KA model can be used to compute exact scattering coefficients in the validity regions of KA and to evaluate other theoretical and numerical models for scattering from randomly rough surfaces.
