Purpose: New low-cost oilseeds are needed to meet an ever-increasing demand for oil for food, pharmaceutical, and industrial applications. African oil bean seed is a tropical crop that is underutilized and has high oil yields, but there have been no studies conducted on its mechanical oil expression up to now. The objective of this work was to investigate the effect of moisture content and seed dimensions on mechanical oil expression from the seeds. Methods: Fresh oil bean seeds were procured, de-hulled, and cleaned. Initial seed moisture content, obtained in accordance with the ASAE standard, was 12% dry basis (db). The seeds were further conditioned by dehydration and rehydration prior to oil expression to obtain four other moisture levels of 8, 10, 14, and 16% db. The major diameter of the seeds was measured using digital vernier calipers, and the seeds were classified into size dimensions (< 40, 41-45, 46-50, 51-55, and > 55 mm). The oil yield and expression efficiency were obtained in accordance with standard evaluation methods. Results: The highest oil yield and expression efficiency (47.74% and 78.96%, respectively) were obtained for a moisture content of 8% db and seed dimensions of < 40 mm, while the lowest oil yield and expression efficiency (41.35% and 68.28%, respectively) were obtained for a moisture content of 14% db and seed dimensions between 51-55 mm. A mathematical model was developed to predict oil yield for known moisture content and seed dimensions, with a coefficient of determination $R^2$ of 95% and the confidence level of the predictive model of 84.17%. The probability of prediction F ratio showed that moisture content influence was more significant than seed dimensions. Conclusions: The higher the moisture content and larger the seed dimensions, the lower the oil yield from African oil bean seeds.

Some physical properties of rapeseed such as geometric properties (linear dimensions, sphericity, seed volume, surface area) and gravimetric properties (the mass of one thousand seeds, bulk density) were analyzed at five levels of moisture content of 10.03, 14.91, 20.07, 25.06 and 30.12% (w.b.). The physical properties of rapeseed were evaluated as a function of seed moisture content. In the moisture range, when the moisture content increase, sphericity decreased from 0.946 to 0.927, and geometric mean diameter, seed volume and surface area increased from 2.17 to 2.31 mm, 5.58 to $6.88 \;mm^3$ and 14.76 to $16.77\;mm^2$ respectively. Mass of one thousand seeds increased from 5.04 to 6.46 g. Bulk density decreased from 579.3 to $549.2\;kg/m^3$ due to swelling of the seed.

An assessment of liquefaction potential is made in principle by comparing the shear stress induced by earthquake to the liquefaction strength of the soil. In this study, a modified method based on Seed and Idriss theory is developed for evaluating liquefaction potential. The shear stress in the ground can be evaluated with seismic response analysis and the liquefaction strength of the soil can be investigated by using cyclic triaxial tests. The cyclic triaxial tests are conducted in two different conditions in order to investigate the factors affecting liquefaction strength such as cyclic shear stress amplitude and relative density. And performance of the modified method in practical examples is demonstrated by applying it to liquefaction analysis of artificial zones with dimensions and material properties similar to those in a typical field. From the result, the modified method for assessing liquefaction potential can successfully evaluate the safety factor under moderate magnitude(M=6.5) of earthquake.

In this research, we further developed the one-step seed mediated method to synthesize gold nanoparticles (GNPs) and control their resulting shapes to obtain hexagonal, triangular, rod-shaped, and spherical gold nanostructures. Our method reveals that the reaction kinetics of formation of GNPs with different shapes can be controlled by the rate of addition of ascorbic acid, because this is the critical factor that dictates the energy barrier that needs to be overcome. This in turn affects the growth mechanism process, which involves the adsorption of growth species to gold nanoseeds. There were also observable trends in the dimensions of the GNPs according to different rates of addition of ascorbic acid. We performed further analyses to investigate and confirm the characteristics of the synthesized GNPs.

본 연구에서는 외부형태적으로 매우 비슷한 참조기(Larimichthys polyactis) 와 부세(L. crocea)의 두 종 간 구분을 위해 계측형질 분석을 포함한 몇가지 기법들을 수행하였다. 총 48개의 계측형질 중 4개의 유의한 차이를 보이는 계측형질이 파악되었으며(p<0.05) classical dimension에서는 유의한 차이를 보이는 계측형질은 없었다(p>0.05). 오히려, 2가지의 truss dimension(Insertion of dorsal fin base origin of pectoral fin base와 Origin of anal fin base - origin of pectoral fin base)와 2가지의 head part dimension (Most anterior extension of the head - above of eye와 Above of eye posterior aspect of operculum)에서는 유의한 차이가 나타났다(p<0.05). 하지만, 이러한 4가지 계측형질 중 head part dimension의 Above of eye - posterior aspect of operculum의 계측형질을 제외한 나머지 3가지 계측형질들에서 부세가 참조기에 비해 더 큰 수치를 나타내었다(p<0.05). X-ray 분석 결과 curved vertebral column에서 부세는 45.1±2.34°로 참조기의 38.4±1.82°에 비해 8.4% 더 큰 수치를 나타내었다(p<0.05). 머리부위의 표피를 제거한 후의 유상돌기는 두 종에 모두 존재하여 일반적으로 참조기에서만 유상돌기가 존재한다고 알려진 바와는 달리, 유상돌기는 두 종을 구분하기 위한 형질로 볼 수 없었다. 본 연구 결과는 참조기와 부세에서 일부 외부 체형에 의해 명확히 구분 가능함을 시사한다.

The anatomical structure of fusiform ray was examined by scanning electron microscopy (and microscopic images were analysed by image analyser) to explain the differences in radial fluid uptake between the extremes in the radial treatment data, i.e. between the selected trees of QCI (Queen Charlotte Islands in Rhondda, South Wales) and SO (South Oregon in Dalby, North-East England) planted in the UK. The ray structure of these two seed origins was examined microscopically and different patterns of ray composition were observed. The most important anatomical features influencing radial permeability were the nature of fusiform ray, and the condition of the resin canals, epithelial cells and intercellular spaces in particular.

새로운 비선형 광학결정으로 유망시되는 $CsLiB_{6}O_{10}$ 결정을 육성하기 위한 기초 조건을 조사하였다. 화학양론적으로 혼합된 $CsLiB_{6}O_{10}$ 조성으로부터 $600^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도에서 같은 조성의 결정이 형성되었고, 이 결정은 $800^{\circ}C$까지 상변화를 나타내지 않았으며, $850^{\circ}C$에서 합치용융하였다. $CsLiB_{6}O_{10}$ 조성을 용융시킨 뒤, 융액을 $1~150^{\circ}C/hr$의 냉각 속도로 냉각시키면, 냉각 속도에 관계없이 유리가 생성되었다. 그러나 융액중에 $CsLiB_{6}O_{10}$ 결정 seed가 존재하는 경우에는 융액으로부터 $CsLiB_{6}O_{10}$ 결정이 직접 석출되었다. Seed 결정을 이용하여 온도 구배가 $100^{\circ}C/cm$인 일방향 전기로에서 0.06 mm/hr의 응고 속도로 투명한 $CsLiB_{6}O_{10}$ 단결정을 육성하였다. 육성된 결정의 구조 해석 결과, 이결정은 noncentrosymmetric tetragonal space group 142d에 속하고, unit cell dimensions은 $a=10.467(1)\;{\AA},\;c=8.972(1)\;{\AA}과\;V=983.0(2)\;{\AA}^3$이었다. 이 결정의 광학적 특성은 180mm에서 absorption edge를 가지고 300 nm이상의 파장 영역에서 70%의 광투과율(두께 0.5 mm)을 나타내었다.

The structural and optical properties of the ZnO, Al-doped ZnO, Ga-doped ZnO, and In-doped ZnO nanorods were investigated using field-emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, photoluminescence (PL) and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. All the nanorods grew with good alignment on the ZnO seed layers and the ZnO nanorod dimensions could be controlled by the addition of the various dopants. For instance, the diameter of the nanorods decreased with increasing atomic number of the dopants. The ratio between the near-band-edge emission (NBE) and the deep-level emission (DLE) intensities ($I_{NBE}/I_{DLE}$) obtained by PL gradually decreased because the DLE intensity from the nanorods gradually increased with increase in the atomic number of the dopants. We found that the dopants affected the structural and optical properties of the ZnO nanorods including their dimensions, lattice constants, residual stresses, bond lengths, PL properties, transmittance values, optical band gaps, and Urbach energies.

본 실험은 대형의 고품질 DAST 결정을 위한 결정안정성과 재현성의 향상에 관하여 연구하였다. DAST 결정은 냉각법에 의한 메탄을 포화용액에서 성장시켰으며, 4-methyl-n-methyl pyridinum tosylate의 축합상태로 합성하였다. DAST 분말은 piperidine이 존재한 상태에서 r-picoline. methyl p-tolune sulfonate 그리고 P-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde로부터 제조하였다. 이때 DAST $H_2O$의 생성을 피하기 위하여 dry Argon분위기에서 합성하였다. 이것은 DAST분자가 습한 분위기에서 결정화될 경우 결정구조는 중심 대칭이 되고 그러한 경우에 DAST 미세결정이 습기를 함유하면 2차 비선형 광학특성은 사라지기 때문이다. 우리는 성장방향을 (001)면으로 고정시켰다. 성장조건은 $H_2O$/day로 서냉시켰으며 기간은 4일 동안이었다. seed 결정의 크기는 $2.5\times 3.6\times0.4\textrm{mm}^3$이며 $10\times 10.5\times3.0\textrm{mm}^3$의 DAST 결정을 제조했다. 육성된 DAST는 빨간색이며 메탈릭그린처림 보이는 표면특성을 나타내였다.
