The degree of self-assembly and the size variation of nanotubular structures in anodic titanium oxide prepared by the anodization of titanium in ethylene glycol containing 0.25 wt % $NH_4F$ at 40 V were investigated as a function of anodization time. We found that the degree of self-assembly and the size of the nanotubes were strongly dependent on thickness deviation and thus indirectly on anodization time, as the thickness deviation was caused by the dissolution of the topmost tubular structures at local areas during long anodization. A large deviation in thickness led to a large deviation in the size and number of nanotubes per unit area. The dissolution primarily occurred at the bottoms of the nanotubes ($D_{bottom}$) in the initial stage of anodization (up to 6 h), which led to the growth of nanotubes. Dissolution at the tops ($D_{top}$) was accompanied by $D_{bottom}$ after the formed structures contacted the electrolyte after 12 h, generating the thickness deviation. After extremely long anodization (here, 70 h), $D_{top}$ was the dominant mode due to increase in pH, meaning that there was insufficient driving force to overcome the size distribution of nanotubes at the bottom. Thus, the nanotube array became disorder in this regime.

In this paper, we propose a systematic hull form variation technique which automatically satisfies the displacement constraint and guarantees a high level of fairness. This method is possible through multiple parameter correction curves. The present method is to improve the hull form variation method based on parametric modification function and consists of two sub-categories: SAC variation and section lines modification. For SAC variation, the utilization of two B-Spline curves satisfying GC¹ condition led to the satisfaction of displacement constraint and high level of fairness at the same time. Section lines modification methods involves in using two fuctions: the first is the waterplane modification function combining two cubic splines. the other function is the sectional area modification function consisting of 2nd order polynomial over the DLWL(Design Load Waterline) and 3rd order polynomial below the DLWL, This function enables not only the fundamental U-V section shape variation but also systematically modified section lines. The present method is expected to be more useful in the hull form optimization process using CFD compared to the existing method.

This paper describes the performance of a Ku-band 5-bit monolithic phase shifter with metal semiconductor field effect transistor (MESFET) switches and the implementation of a ceramic packaged phase shifter for phase array antennas. Using compensation resistors reduced the insertion loss variation of the phase shifter. Measurement of the 5-bit phase shifter with a monolithic microwave integrated circuit demonstrated a phase error of less than $7.5{\circ}$ root-mean-square (RMS) and an insertion loss variation of less than 0.9 dB RMS for 13 to 15 GHz. For all 32 states of the developed 5-bit phase shifter, the insertion losses were $8.2{\pm}1.4$dB, the input return losses were higher than 7.7 dB, and the output return losses were higher than 6.8 dB for 13 to 15 GHz. The chip size of the 5- bit monolithic phase shifter with a digital circuit for controlling all five bits was 2.35 mm ${\times}$1.65 mm. The packaged phase shifter demonstrated a phase error of less than $11.3{\circ}$ RMS, measured insertion losses of 12.2 ${\pm}$2.2 dB, and an insertion loss variation of 1.0 dB RMS for 13 to 15 GHz. For all 32 states, the input return losses were higher than 5.0 dB and the output return losses were higher than 6.2 dB for 13 to 15 GHz. The size of the packaged phase shifter was 7.20 mm${\times}$ 6.20 mm.

Clonal differences in fertility (expressed as the number of female and male strobili) were determined for five consecutive years (2002-2006) in a clonal seed orchard of Chamaecyparis obtusa. Fertility varied among clones and among years with producing five-year averages of 378.8 and 871.2 for female and male strobili per ramet, respectively. Correlation between female and male strobilus production was positive over the five years and statistically significant. Based on the observed fertility variation, the effective population sizes (estimated by status numbers, $N_e$) were calculated and varied from 24.3 to 47.9 (48.6% to 95.8% of census number, N) among the five studied years. On average (pooled), the relative effective population size was 82% of the N. Variation in female fertility was higher than that in male fertility, and this variation was reflected on female and male parents' status numbers. Pooled $N_e$ estimated from the five years was higher than that from poor seed production years. From our results, it was concluded that genetic diversity collected from good flowering years would be higher than that from poor flowering years.

The purpose of the study is to simulate the displacement of the LCD glass during process of a large size imprint. During this process, a small temperature variation makes thermal stress, which causes the horizontal variation of mold and glass. During alignment process to fix the LCD glass on a alignment stage, the vertical displacement is made by the absorption pressure and the shear stress. This study simulates the horizontal displacement of mold and glass due to temperature variation, the vertical displacement depending on the shape of absorption surface fixing the LCD glass in the alignment process, and the horizontal and vertical displacement which occurs in the LCD glass at the alignment process. Algor which is a FEM code for a framework simulation was applied. Temperature variation above ${\pm}$ $0.1^{\circ}C$ on mold and glass causes the horizontal displacement of 150nm due to thermal expansion. The vertical displacement due to the circular is ten times of the case of rectangular absorption nozzle. The displacement of the LCD glass in the alignment process is about 49nm.

Red algal mitochondrial genomes (mtDNAs) can provide useful information on species identification. mtDNAs of Pyropia / Porphyra (Bangiales, Rhodophyta) have shown diverse variation in their size and gene structure. In particular, the introns and intronic open reading frames found in the ribosomal RNA large subunit gene (rnl) and cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 gene (cox1) significantly vary the mitochondrial genome size in Pyropia / Porphyra species. In this study, we examined the exon / intron structure of rnl and cox1 genes of Pyropia yezoensis at the intraspecific level. The combined data of rnl and cox1 genes exhibited 12 genotypes for 40 P. yezoensis strains, based on the existence of introns. These genotypes were more effective to identify P. yezoensis strains in comparison to the traditional DNA barcode cox1 marker (5 haplotypes). Therefore, the variation in gene structure of rnl and cox1 can be a novel molecular marker to discriminate the strains of Pyropia species.

In designing a LLC resonant converter, the ratio of magnetizing inductance ($L_M$) to resonant inductance ($L_R$), the inductor ratio (K) is usually considered. In high power density adapter, both adapter size and efficiency are important factors. Considering the size of adapter, high K design can be more attractive. But, wide frequency variation of high K design results in design difficulty of magnetic elements and decrease in efficiency. To solve these drawbacks, an adaptive link voltage variation (ALVV) control is proposed. With the proposed control method, the LLC resonant converter can be operated at the resonant frequency despite the output voltage variation. The control strategy and schematics are presented, and verified experimentally.

The feasibility of precision farming for small sized fields was studied by determining fertilizing amount of nitrogenous and calcareous to a cite specific region. A detailed soil survey at three experimental fields of 672㎡, 300㎡ and 140㎡ revealed a considerable spatial variation of the pH and organic matter(OM) levels. Soil organic matter was measured using Walkley-Black method and soil pH was measured with a pH sensor. Soil sample was obtained by Grid Node Sampling Method. The soil sampling depth was 10 - 20 cm from the soil surface. To display soil nutrient variation, a soil map was made using Geographic Information System (GIS) software. In soil mapping, soil data between nodes was interpolated using Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) method. The variation was about 1 - 1.8 in pH value and 1.4 -7 % in OM content. Fertilizing Amount of nitrogenous and calcareous was determined by the fertilizing equation which was proposed by National Institute of Agricultural Science and Technology.(NIAST). The variation of fertilizing amount was about 3 - 11 kg/10a in nitrogenous and 70 - 140 kg/10a in calcareous. The results showed a feasibility of precision fertilizing for small size fields.

Monthly variation of mutagenicity by airborne particulate were studied according to particle size of the particulate. Airborne particulates were collected in Shinchon of Seoul which is commocial and traffic area in 1986. And those were separately collected into two parts such as fine particle (less than $2.5{\mu}m$ aerodynamic diameter) and coarse particle (greater than $2.5{\mu}m$). Extractable organic matters(EOM) were extracted and mutagenicity of the EOM was tested in Salmonella thyphimurium TA 98 by Ames method. While the concentration of coarse particle did not show the seasonal variation, that of fine particle showed great seasonal variation. The contents and mutagenicity of EOM in fine particles were higher than those of coarse particles. So fine particles were expected to contribute to the 90% of mutagenicity in atmosphere by suspended particulates. The content of EOM and mutagenicity by suspended particulates in atmosphere were highest in January all the year around and also higher as much as 6 and 30 times than in July, respectively.

Effect of austenite grain size on starting temperature of ${\gamma}{\rightarrow}{\varepsilon}$ martensitic transformation($M_s$) has been studied in an Fe-18%Mn alloy. Particular attention was paid on the variation of stacking fault energy with austenite grain size, which is considered to be a important factor affecting ${\gamma}{\rightarrow}{\varepsilon}$ martensitic transformation. Austenite grain size was increased in a wide range from $13{\mu}m$ to $185{\mu}m$ with increasing solution treatment temperature from $700^{\circ}C$ to $1100^{\circ}C$. Hardness was decreased with increasing austenite grain size while the volume fraction of ${\varepsilon}$ martensite showed a reverse tendency, which indicates that the hardness is more dependent on austenite grain size than ${\varepsilon}$ martensite content. No significant change was found in $M_s$ temperature when the grain size was larger than about $30{\mu}m$. In case that, the austenite grain size was smaller than about $30{\mu}m$, however, $M_s$ temperature was marlkedly decreased with decreasing austenite grain size. A linear relationship between $M_s$ temperature and the stacking fault formation probability, i.e. the reciprocal of the stacking fault energy was obtained, which suggests that the variation of $M_s$ temperature with austenite grain size is closely related to the change in stacking fault energy.
