A molecular dynamic computer experiment was performed on a system of 108 particles composed of a single polymer chain and solvent molecules. The state considered was in the immediate neighborhood of the triple point of the system. The polymer itself is an analog of a freely jointed chain. The Lennard-Jones potential was used to represent the interactions between all particles except for that between the chain elements forming a bond in the polymer chain, for which the interaction was expressed by a harmonic potential. The self-diffusion coefficient and velocity autocorrelation function (VACF) of a polymer were calculated at various chain lengths $N_p$, and various interaction strengths between solvent molecules and a polymer chain element. For self-diffusion coefficients D, the Einstein relation holds good; as chain length $N_p$ increases the D value decreases, and D also decreases as ${\varepsilon}_{cs}$ (the interaction parameter between the chain element and solvent molecules) increases. The relaxation time of velocity autocorrelation decreases as ${\varepsilon}_{cs}$ increases, and it is constant for various chain lengths. The diffusion coefficients in various conditions reveal that our systems are in a free draining limit as is well known from the behavior of low molecular weight polymers, this also agrees with the Kirkwood-Riesman theory.

Aluminum is a lightweight metal and has excellent properties with regard to conductivity, workability, and strength. It has been used in various industries owing to its economic benefits. To improve upon the mechanical properties and processability by adding various alloying elements to aluminum, improving the corrosion resistance and heat resistance by electrochemically forming a porous anodic film having a thickness and hardness on the surface of the aluminum alloy is crucial. In this study, the aluminum 6061 alloy was controlled by an anodization process in a 0.3M oxalic acid electrolyte at room temperature to investigate the oxide film parameters such as porosity and thickness depending on the modulating applied voltage and time. The anodizing experiment was performed by increasing the time from 1 h to 9 h at 2-h intervals at applied voltages of 50 V and 60 V.

Due to high specific strength and low density, AZ series magnesium alloys have been receiving high interest as a lightweight material. However, their industrial application is limited due to the phenomenon that the strength decreases at elevated temperature by the occurrence of softening effect because of the Mg17Al12 phase decomposition. To solve this problem, many research were conducted to increase the high-temperature strength by forming a thermal stable second-phase component by adding new elements to the AZ magnesium. Especially, adding Ca to AZ magnesium has been reported that Ca forms the new second-phase. However, studies about the analysis of decomposition or precipitation temperature, formation composition, and components to understand the formation behavior of these precipitated phases are still insufficient. Therefore, the effect of Ca addition to AZ61 on the phase change and microstructure of the alloy during annealing was investigated. As a result of analysis of the initial and heat-treated specimen, AZ61 formed α-Mg matrix and precipitated phase of Mg17Al12, and AZX611 formed one more type of precipitated phase, Al2Ca. Also, Al2Ca was thermal stable at high temperatures. And after annealing, the laves phase was decomposed to under 10 ㎛ size and distributed in matrix.

Phosphorous (P) is considered to be one of the key essential elements demanded by crop plants. Approximately 70 - 90% of phosphatic fertilizers applied to crops are fixed in soil as Ca, Fe, and Al metal cations, which are insoluble and thus not readily available for plant uptake. Therefore, most soils are deficient in plant available P. This is usually rectified by applying phosphate fertilizers continuously, although this is not economically viable or environmentally acceptable. The present paper reviews the mechanisms involved with phosphate solubilization and mineralization by phosphate solubilizing microorganisms (PSMs) with the associated factors that determine the success. PSMs are effectively involved in mediating the bioavailability of soil P. Their contribution includes mineralization of organic P solubilization of inorganic P minerals, and storing sizable amounts of P in biomass through different mechanisms such as the production of organic and inorganic acids, H₂S, siderophores, exopolysaccharides, and production of enzymes such as phosphatases, phytase, and phosphonatases/C-P lyases, which are capable of chelating the metal ions, forming complexes, and making plant available P. PSMs manifest a wide range of metabolic functions in different environments, resulting in significantly higher plant growth, enhanced soil properties, and increased biological activities. Therefore, development of bio-inoculants with efficient novel PSM strains and further investigations on exploring such strains from diverse ecological niches with multifunctional plant-growth-promoting traits are needed.

Aluminum alloy is used by adding various elements according to the needs of the industry. Aluminum alloys such as 5052 and 6061 are known to possess excellent corrosion resistance by adding Mg. Despite their excellent physical properties, corrosion can occur. To solve this problem, an anodization technique generally can improve corrosion resistance by forming an oxide structure with maximized hydrophobic properties through coatings. In this study, the anodizing technique was used to improve the hydrophobicity of aluminum 5052 and 6061 by creating porous nanostructures on top of the surface. An oxide film was formed by applying anodizing voltages of 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 V to aluminum alloys followed by immersion in 0.1 M phosphoric acid for 30 minutes to expand oxide pores. Contact angle and corrosion characteristics were different according to the structure after anodization. For the 5052 aluminum, the corrosion potential was improved from -363 mV to -154 mV as the contact angle increased from 116° to 136°. For the 6061 aluminum, the corrosion potential improved from -399 mV to -124 mV when the contact angle increased from 116° to 134°.

The piercing process of creating holes in sheet metals for mechanical fastening generates high shear force. Real-time monitoring technology could predict tool damage and product defects due to this severe condition, but there are few applications for piercing high-strength aluminum. In this study, we analyzed the load signal to predict the punch's wear level during the process with a piezoelectric sensor installed piercing tool. Experiments were conducted on Al6061 T6 with a thickness of 3.0 mm using piercing punches whose edge angle was controlled by reflecting the wear level. The piercing load increases proportionally with the level of tool wear. For example, the maximum piercing load of the wear-shaped punch with the tip angle controlled at 6 degrees increased by 14% compared to the normal-shaped punch under the typical clearance of 6.7% of the aluminum piercing tool. In addition, the tool wear level increased compression during the down-stroke, which is caused by lateral force due to the decrease in the diameter of pierced holes. Our study showed the predictability of the wear level of punches through the recognition of changes in characteristic elements of the load signal during the piercing process.

Firstly, a new kind of prismatic tensegrity structures with redundant cables is defined, the topology, geometry and forming conditions of which are introduced further. The development of its mechanical properties including self-stress states and structural stiffness with the increment of the twist angle is also investigated carefully. Combined with the topology of this kind of structures, a reasonable erection scheme is proposed, in which some temporary lifting points need to be set and two groups of vertical cables are tensioned in batches. Then, a simplified dynamic relaxation method is employed to track the erection process inversely, which aims to predict each intermediate equilibrium state during the construction, and give the key structural parameters that can effectively guide the construction. The removal of the active cables, the relaxation or tension of the passive cables are simulated by controlling their axial stiffness, so that the structural composition as well as the serial numbers of the elements always keep invariant regardless of the withdrawal of the slack cables. The whole analysis process is clear in concept, simple to implement and easy to popularize. Finally, several examples are given to verify the practicability and effectiveness of the proposed method further.

A solution combustion process for the synthesis of hollandite (BaAl₂Ti₆O₁₆) powders is described. SYNROC (synthetic rock) consists of four main titanate phases: perovskite, zirconolite, hollandite and rutile. Hollandite is one of the crystalline host matrices used for the disposal of high-level radioactive wastes because it immobilizes Sr and Lns elements by forming solid solutions. The solution combustion synthesis, which is a self-sustaining oxi-reduction reaction between a nitrate and organic fuel, generates an exothermic reaction and that heat converts the precursors into their corresponding oxide products in air. The process has high energy efficiency, fast heating rates, short reaction times, and high compositional homogeneity. To confirm the combustion synthesis reaction, FT-IR analysis was conducted using glycine with a carboxyl group and an amine as fuel to observe its bonding with metal element in the nitrate. TG-DTA, X-ray diffraction analysis, SEM and EDS were performed to confirm the formed phases and morphology. Powders with an uncontrolled shape were obtained through a general oxide-route process, confirming hollandite powders with micro-sized soft agglomerates consisting of nano-sized primary particles can be prepared using these methods.

전북 완주군 이서면 반교리의 갈등유적에서 출토된 세형동검 용범 1조를 대상으로 재질특성 분석과 원료의 산지를 해석하였다. 이 용범은 주로 조립질 각섬석으로 구성된 등립의 완정질 조직을 갖는 화성기원의 각섬석암으로서 녹회색 내지 암녹색에 부드러운 지방광택을 띤다. 이 용범의 전암대자율 값은 19.2~71.0(평균; $39.2{\times}10^{-3}$ SI unit)의 범위를 보인다. 높은 대자율 값은 강자성 광물인 자철석의 높은 함량을 반영하며, 측정값의 넓은 분포는 자철석 함량의 불균질성 때문으로 판단된다. 이는 일반적인 염기성 화성암류의 특징과 유사하다. 이 용범 구성암석의 조암광물은 각섬석, 사장석, 흑운모가 주성분을 이루며 휘석, 녹니석 및 불투명 광물이 소량 존재한다. 용범 표면의 흑색 피각 물질에서는 다량의 탄소가 검출되었다. 이 용범과 동일한 재료의 산지를 추정하기 위해 유적 주변의 광역적인 암석분포를 조 사한 결과, 유적지로부터 직선거리로 약 50km 떨어진 장수군 장수읍 대성리, 식천리 및 번암면 교동리, 남원시 아영면 일대리에서 용범과 동일한 각섬석암 또는 반려암질암의 산출지를 확인하였다. 이 암석들의 전암대자율 값도 용범의 범위와 비슷한 16.1~72.4 (평균; $39.9{\times}10^{-3}$ SI unit)를 나타내었다. 이는 두 암석 간에 재질적 유사성을 뒷받침 하는 것이다. 이 중에서 장수 교동의 각섬석암이 용범의 암석학적 특성과 가장 유사하다. 용범을 구성하는 암석과 장수지역 각섬석암의 주성분원소, 미량원소 및 희토류원소 함량을 표준화하여 비교한 결과, 이들의 지구화학적 진화경향과 거동특성이 매우 유사하게 나타났다. 이는 두 암석이 성인적으로 동일 종류의 마그마에서 생성된 것임을 입증하는 것이다. 이 암석은 재질이 부드러워 표면에 활자나 미세한 문양을 조각하고 매끈한 표면을 만들기에 용이한 물성을 가지고 있으며 열전도율 또한 우수하다. 장수군 식천리 일대의 각섬석암은 현재까지도 채석되어 석제 식기제품으로 생산되고 있다. 따라서 완주 갈등 유적에서 출토된 세형동검 용범의 원료는 전북 장수 지역의 대성리, 식천리 및 교동리 부근에서 공급하였을 가능성이 매우 높다. 그러나 남원시 아영면 일대리와 같이 소규모로 노출된 동일 종류의 암석에서 공급되었을 가능성을 완전히 배제할 수는 없다. 이와 같은 원료의 도입과정에 대하여는 여러 가지 가능성을 명확히 규명할 수 있는 고고학적 연구가 필요하다.
