Electromigration-induced void evolutions in typical upper and lower layer dual-inlaid Copper (Cu) interconnect structures were simulated by applying a phenomenological model resorting to Monte Carlo based simulations, which considers redistribution of heterogeneously nucleated voids and/or pre-existing vacancy clusters at the Copper/dielectric cap interface during electromigration. The results indicate that this model can qualitatively explain the electromigration-induced void evolutions observations in many studies reported by several researchers heretofore. These findings warrant need to re-investigate technologically important electromigration mechanisms by developing rigorous models based on similar concepts.

A study was conducted to investigate the possibility of a composite material containing a composite resin as a matrix and hydroxyapatite (HAp) powder as a substitute material for tooth repair. As the content of HAp increased, hardness value (111.9 HV at 9%) increased and flexural strength (73.3 MPa at 9%) decreased. Observation of the microstructure after immersion in a simulated body fluid (SBF) solution confirmed a dense structure due to mutual coagulation and curing. It was thought that fine HAp recrystals were formed with the lapse of time, and they were entangled to form a condensation structure and had a dense structure. In addition, since the activity was shown by the ion migration on the surface of a tooth, it was highly likely that a biocompatible bond occurred during tooth contact. Therefore, it could be used as a substitute material for tooth repair.

Effects of atmospheres and adidtives on the grain growth of TiO2 ceramics were investigated. In the range of 1300~140$0^{\circ}C$, grain growth was increased in CO2 as compared with O2 atmosphere and the grain boundary migration activation energy was lower than the diffusion activation energy of oxygen ion in TiO2. Also, in the case of addition of oxides, the grain growth was increased by oxides acting as a acceptor andinhibited by oxides acting as a donor. From the above results, when the oxygen vacancy concentration was increased, the intrinsic grain boundary mobility was increased and the pore drag force was decreased due to the rapid densification. Also it seems that the pore was migrated by the surface diffusion rather than lattice diffusion.

Generally, polyester microfiber has much greater dye uptake than that of regular ones. In spite of high dye up-take visual shade depth of dyed fabric decreases with smaller denier, which results in poor washing fastness of dyed fabric. In this study, in order to investigate the washing fastness, polyester microfiber fabric was dyed by using two type of disperse dyes and treated with 3 different reduction clearing methods. The reduction clearing methods in this study are normal alkaline reduction clearing, $N_2$ gas replacement method, and ultrasonic treatment during reduction clearing. The results were as followings ; The most important factors affecting the washing fastness of polyester artificial suede fabric were found to be the reduction clearing method, the chemical structure of used disperse dyes and the structure and denier of fibers. It was also obtained that the heat treatment of dyed fabric decreased the washing fastness due to the dye migration from inner phase to surface.

Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is a critical regulator of mesenchymal cell migration and proliferation. The vital functions of PDGFs for angiogenesis, as well as development of kidney, brain, cardiovascular system and pulmonary alveoli during embryogenesis, have been well demonstrated by gene knock-out approaches. Clinical studies reveal that aberrant expression of PDGF and its receptor is often associated with a variety of disorders including atherosclerosis, fibroproliferative diseases of lungs, kidneys and joints, and neoplasia. PDGF contributes to cancer development and progression by both autocrine and paracrine signaling mechanisms. In this review article, important features of the PDGF isoforms and their cell surface receptor subunits are discussed, with regards to signal transduction, PDGF-isoform specific cellular response, and involvement in angiogenesis, and tumorstromal interactions.

Although the specific resistance to filtration is the most frequently employed means for characterizing dewaterability of a sludge, it presently is not possible to design nor to prediet performance of dewatering facilities using traditional linearized parabolic filtration equation, that is, the specific resistance model because of theoretical and practical inadequacies of the concept. Limitations of the specific resistance model reflect the need to examine fundamental sludge properties and filtration behaviors affecting dewaterability. From this study, two major limitations of the specific resistance model were noted. First, specific resistance values are very dependent on the sludge concentration because of the variations of particle size distribution and cake clogging to occur when surface area mean diameter is less than $25{\mu}m$ for activated sludge, $18{\mu}m$ for water treatment plant sludge. Second, nonparabolic filtration behavior can result from cake clogging, caused by the migration of fine particles into the cake pores, accelated by skin effect with highly compressible sludges.

In this research, we proposed the immobilization zone where the organic contaminant would be fixed, so that ground water could be prevented from the organic contaminants. The surfactant was adsorbed on the soil particles and the organic contaminants were partitioned into the hydrophobic tails of the surfactant in the immobilization zone. Surfactants with different molecular structures-SDDBS (sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid), MADS (monoalkylated disulfonated diphenyl oxide), DADS (dialkylated disulfonated diphenyl oxide) - were used in this study. Up to the present, the research on the immolization simulated the saturated condition. But many site contaminated with organic contaminants and the zones where immobilization would be applied are unsaturated. In this research, in order to investigate the behaviors of surfactants and organic contaminants in unsaturated condition, the unsaturated columns were experimented, and their results were compared with the saturated case.

A total of 618 photoelectric observations (302 in yellow and 316 in bule) is made in 1982 at the Yonsei University Observatory. Except that of the secondary eclipse the homogeneous coverage of observations successfully secured B, V, and B-V light curves. Enhanced distortions in the light curves are appeared at the phases aroung $0.^P1$, which supports the wave-like migration period of 9.7 years(Rodono 1981). One epoch time of the primary minimum was made by combining the observations in three nights. This minimum time shows that the O-C values are still decreasing and there seems to indication of increasing. B and V light curves of the primary minimum are in strong asymmetry which show less luminous in the third and fourth contacts compared to those of the first and second ones. This asymmetry may be as a result of the reflection of the wave minimum at $0.^P1$, and B-V curve also shows asymmetry, redder at the third contact than the second one by about $0.^m04$. This color difference apperature distribution on the surface of cooler, larger component(KO IV star).

Development of the paper coating technologies to prevent print mottle is needed to obtain high quality printing. Printing mottle is recognized as the most common printing problems in using coated paper and which is one of the most difficult problems to solve in offset printing. Print mottle is one of the most important quality properties of printed products and manufacturers strive to improve the paper surface to gain higher and more even print mottle. The prevention of printed mottle requires of coating color formation, especially the minimum of binder migration. The results the uniformity of liquid absorption by paper at very short contact time between paper and testing printing liquids.

Silicone surfactants are widely used in many industrial area because of its thermal stability and lower foaming property. But it has limitation to expand the application because of migration and bubble generation issues when it is mixed with organic surfactant. In this study, epoxy functionalized fluoro-silicone surfactant, perfluoro glycidoxypropyl polyether siloxane(PFGES), was synthesized using hydrosilylation reaction among perfluoro methyl hydrogen siloxane, allyl glycidyl ether, and allyl ployether in order to get lower surface tension, better thermal stability than conventional silicone surfactant, and reactivity with anhydride function.
