A new type of reinforced earth wall(REW) system is developed with vegetated facing which provides proper environment for long-term vegetation and also applicable to high retaining wall system. Vegetated retaining wall is a green alternative for retaining walls and an effective way to reduce heat island effect than conventional block or concrete systems. Several construction sites using vegetated facing is observed to monitor adaptation state of vegetation and estimate surface temperature of wall facing over two years. It was observed that a number of plants including Siberian chrysanthemum adapt well to the inside of the facing blocks because vegetation bag helps to keep a proper condition for vegetation. According to the results using thermographic camera, average surface temperature of vegetated facing is higher for all ranges of coverage ratio of vegetation. The increment of average surface temperature of vegetated facing is larger than that of non-vegetated facing when the air temperature rises, and vice versa.

The inhibitive effect of extracts of tamarind seeds and jackfruit seeds, curry leaves and henna leaves on corrosion of mild steel in 1M HCl solution have been studied by weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization and impedance measurements. Results obtained from the electrochemical techniques were in good agreement with weight loss results. From the weight loss data, the values of surface coverage ($\Theta$) and corrosion rate were calculated. The inhibition efficiency (IE) increased with increasing inhibitor concentration in 1M HCl solution. In all the cases the adsorption of the natural product extracts on the mild steel surface from 1M HCl follows the Langmuir adsorption isotherm relationship. Potentiodynamic polarization studies reveal the fact that all the four natural product extracts act as mixed type inhibitors. The decrease in the inhibition efficiency follows the order: Extracts of jackfruit seed>henna leaves>curry leaves>tamarind seed.

Inhibition of corrosion of mild steel in sulphuric acid by acidic extract of Jatropha Curcas leaves has been studied using weight loss and thermometric measurements. It was found that the leaves extract act as a good corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in all concentrations of the extract. The inhibition action depends on the concentration of the Jatropha Curcas leaves extract in the acid solution. Results for weight loss and thermometric measurements indicate that inhibition efficiency increase with increasing inhibitor concentration. The adsorption of Jatropha curcas leaves extract on the surface of the mild steel specimens obeys Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Based on the results, Jatropha curcas leaves extract is recommended for use in industries as a replacement for toxic chemical inhibitors.

$\alpha$,$\beta$,$\varepsilon$ type copper phthalocy $\alpha$,$\beta$,$\varepsilon$ type copper phthalocyanine(CuPc) pigment was purified by a simple train sublimation technique. The layered photoconductor was made with $\varepsilon$ type CuPc as a carrier generation layer(CGL) and polyvinly carvazol(PVCz) as a carrier transport layer(CLT). A CGL of CuPc was electrochemical deposited on an Al substrate used as cathode in pigment dispersion solutions. a CTL of PVCz pwas spin coated on $\varepsilon$ type CuPc thin film by a spin coater. The effect of sonication time, electrophotographic property of the layered photoconductor were studied with surface coverage, surface potential and sensitivity.

A nickel foam, one of metal foams was seleced as a catalyst support instead of conventional ceramic materials. $Al_2O_3$ was coated on the surface of nickel foam to increase the surface area. $Al_2O_3$ coating process was based on sol-gel process. SEM image was obtained and $Al_2O_3$ coverage was confirmed. Combustion experiments were carried out using SUS combustor and $H_2$/air mixture. Temperatures were measured with different equivalence ratios and $H_2$ flow rates. $H_2$ conversion rates were calculated by the analysis of product gas using gas chromatography. Catalytic combustion of $H_2$ was complete and stable with Pt/$Al_2O_3$ coated nickel foam and influences of water vapor were confirmed during the beginning of combustion.

Apartment housing block has been spreaded according to rapid economic development and urbanization in Korea. A parking lot is located at underground, artificial ground is inevitably created in apartment housing block. Artificial ground creates different thermal environment compared to natural ground, because the composition and coverage of artificial ground are diverse. In this study, the effect of the artificial ground on building thermal environment will be disscussed by simulation. Considering the result of simulation, surface albedo is more important for building energy performance. A purpose of this study is to examine how the characteristic of surface effect to thermal environment, and to develop design method for sustainable outdoor space.

The barrier height is found to increase from 0.25 to 0.690 eV for Schottky contacts on n-InGaAs using deposition of Ag on a substrate cooled to 77K(LT). Surface analysis leads to an interface model for the LT diode in which there are oxide compounds of In:O and As:O between the metal and semiconductor, leading to behavior as a metal-insulator-semiconductor diode. The metal film deposited t LT has a finer and more uniform structure, as revealed by scanning electron microscopy and in situ metal layer resistance measurement. This increased uniformity is an additional reason for the barrier height improvement. In contrast, the diodes formed at room temperature exhibit poorer performance due to an unpassivated surface and non-uniform metal coverage on a microscopic level.

The effects of shot peening an the fatigue strength are studied in this paper. Applying the multistage shot peening on the material. the relation between the residual stress and fatigue strength compressive is investigated. Observing tensile strength elongation. reduction of area. hardness. and roughness. the results can be summarized as follows ; 1.The change of mechanical properties is small before and after the shot peening is carried out. The change of hardness is also small in high hardness material. 2.The surface roughness does not affect the fatigue strength. but the surface roughness is improved by multi-stage shot peening. 3.The fatigue strength of multi-stage shot peening material is 756MPa and is 1.78 times higher than that of un-peened material. 4.The maximum compressive residual strength of multi-stage shot peening material is -792MPa the fatigue strength seems to be improved by residual stress.

We reported that high dielectric hafnium oxide nano-film deposited by thermal atomic layer deposition on the poly-silicon film (poly-Si). The poly -Si film was produced by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition and excimer laser annealing. We used the hafniu m chloride ($HfCl_4$) and water as the precursors and analyzed the hafnium oxide film by transmission electron microscope and secondary ion mass spectrometer. Hafnium oxide produced by the ALD method showed very good coverage on the rough surface of poly-Si film. While deposited with 200 cycles, these hafnium oxide films revealed a relatively smooth surface and good uniformity, but the cumulative roughness produced by the incomplete reaction was apparent when the amount of deposition cycle increased to 600 cycles.

During the monolayer assembly of zeolite microcrystals using sonication with stacking (SS) method, the factors that govern the degree of close packing (DCP) between the microcrystals, the rate of attachment (rA) of microcrystals onto the substrate, the degree of coverage (DOC), and the binding strength (BS) between each crystal and the substrate were investigated for each mode of binding linkage (MBL). The tested MBLs were covalent linkage (CL), ionic linkage (IL), and polyelectrolyte-mediated ionic linkage (p-IL). Unlike the monolayers of zeolite crystals assembled on glass with a covalent linkage, the strong BS, very high DOC, and very high DCP do not decrease during monolayer assembly on glass through ionic linkages. This results indicate that the surface migration of crystals undergo linkage-nondestructively when crystals were attached to the substrates through ionic linkages.
