  • Despite a surface dominated by carbon-based life, the bulk composition of the Earth is dramatically carbon poor when compared to the material available at formation. Bulk carbon deficiency extends into the asteroid belt representing a fossil record of the conditions under which planets are born. The initial steps of planet formation involve the growth of primitive sub-micron silicate and carbon grains in the Solar Nebula. We present a solution wherein primordial carbon grains are preferentially destroyed by oxygen atoms ignited by heating due to stellar accretion at radii < 5 AU. This solution can account for the bulk carbon deficiency in the Earth and meteorites, the compositional gradient within the asteroid belt, and for growing evidence for similar carbon deficiency in rocks surrounding other stars.

  • The properites of Zn-diffusion in III-V ternary alloy semiconductor $In_{1-x}Ga_{x}p$, which was grown by the temperature gradient solution (TGS) method, have been investigated. The composition, x, dependence of the Zn-diffusion coefficient at $850^{\circ}C$ and the activation energy for Zn-diffusion into $In_{1-x}Ga_{x}p$ were found to be $D850^{\circ}C$(x)= $3.935{\times}10^{-8}exp(-6.84{\cdot}x)$, and $E_{A}(x)=1,28+2,38{\cdot}x$, respectively. From this study, we confirm that the Zn-diffusion in $In_{1-x}Ga_{x}p$ was explainable with the diffusion mechanisms of the interstitial-substitutional, which was widely accepted mechanisms in the III-V binary semiconductors.

  • We presents an hazard zonation mapping technique in karst terrain and its assessment. From the detailed engineering geological mapping. Controlling factors of sink hole and limestone cave formation were discussed and 4 main hazard factors affecting hazard potential are identified as follows: prerequisite hazard factor(distributions of pre-existing sink holes and cavities), geomorphological hazard factors(slope gradient, vegetation, and drainage pattern etc.) geological hazard factors(lithology, fracture patterns and geological structures etc.) and hydraulic conditions(hydraulic head, annual fluctuation of ground water table and composition of g/w water). From the construction of hazard zonation map along the Jecheon-Maepo area, and vertical cross-sectional hazard zonations specific tunnel site we suggest hazard zonation rating systems.

  • Processing of W-Cu graded materials from attritor-milled W-CuO mixtures is described. The powder reduction steps are investigated by TG and XRD analyses and by microstructural observations (SEM, TEM). Sintering of reduced powder with different compositions is analysed by dilatometry. Sintering behaviour of the graded component processed by co-compaction of a 10/20/30wt%Cu multi-layer material is briefly discussed. Liquid Cu migration is observed and smooths the composition gradient. Perspectives to control this migration are discussed.

  • The examination for the changes of structures and mechanical properties in directionally solidified Al-Fe-Ni alloys containing the small amount of Fe and Ni was carried out by the varying the composition and solidification rate R of alloy, provided that the temperature gradient was 80 .deg.C/cm. The result were obtained as follows. A) In proportion to the increase of the solidification rate (R), the crystallized phase of this alloy was changed from the Ribbon-type structure to the Rod-type structure. B) The strength was rapidly increased in the changing process of composite shape from the Ribbon-type to the Rod-type with the solidification rate (R) increasing. C) The fiber stress (${\sigma}^f$) and Young's modulus ($E_f$) calculated for the Rod-type structure were 220 kg/$mm^2$ and 11, 800 kg/$mm^2$ respectively, which were in good accord with the rule of Mixtures.

  • In order to facilitate the quantification in autumnal Hamamelidaceae leaves, a HPLC method was used for the determination of two chlorophyll catabolites and their isomers: bilin-type (1) and bilinone-type (2) ones. The separation was done on a RP-C4 column with a gradient solvent system of 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid aqueous-methanol at the flow-rate of 0.2 mL/min and detected at 244 nm. The quantity of bilin-type (1) and bilinone-type (2) chlorophyll catabolite isomers from ten species of Hamamelidaceae autumnal leaves methanol extracts: Corylopsis pauciflora, Corylopsis spicata, Forthergilla major, Hamamelis intermedia, Hamamelis japonicum, Hamamelis japonicum var. flavopurpurscens, Hamamelis virginiana, Parrotiopsis jacquemontiana, Parrotia persica and X Sycoparrotia semidecidua were from 0.85 mg/g ~ 57.50 mg/g for bilin-type isomers (1) and 3.40 mg/g ~ 49.30 mg/g for bilinone-type isomers (2). The results obtained gave insight in quantitative bilintype (1) and bilinone-type (2) chlorophyll catabolite composition of the Hamamelidaceae plant species autumnal leaves.

  • In order to grow $Bi_4Ge_3O_{12}$ crystals by the Czochralski method equipped with the auto-diameter control system, we used the resistance heater of our own design. We measure the temperature gradients under-arious thermal configurations. The relation between the critical rotation rate corresponding to the flat interface and the temperature gadient was investigated, and the importance of the axial temperature gradient was pointed out. The results from this work were compared with those obtained by other authors when RF heating was used. The optimal conditions for the crystal growth were determined as follows; under $O_2$ atmosphere with the pulling rate fixed at 2 mm/hr, rotation rate changed from 30 to 23 rpm as the crystal growth proceeded, radial and axial temperature gradients were 50 and $40^{\circ}C$/cm near melts respectively, and the composition was chemically stoichiometric.

  • With 156 water samples collected from 39 locations in the Yeong San River estuary during the 12month period from March 1976 to February 1977, the seasonal distribution of yeast and the distributional pattern of yeast on salinity gradient have been investigated. An overall average number of yeast ranged from 52 to 487 viable cells (c.f.u.) per 100ml water sample. The highest count of yeast was obtained in spring while the lowest value came in summer. 933 yeast and one yeast-like fungus pertaining to 14 genera and 83 species were recovered, of which Candida were 29%, Debaryomyces 17.3%, Rhodotorula Glutinis were dominant forms in all locations as well as throughout the year. The population size of total aerobic bacteria, the amount of terrestrial imputs, and some of geographical and/or climatic factor appear to reflect the seasonal distribution of yeast as well as the composition of yeast species in an estuarine environ. Average number of yeast, species diversity, and particularly the number of fermentative and pseudomycelium-producing yeasts increased with decreasing salinity whereas nitrate-utilizing yeasts showed opposite trend, suggesting that salinity gradient can be used as a feasible detector for the distributional pattern of yeast in estuarine habitat.

  • Soil is a dynamic biological system, in which it is difficult to determine the composition of microbial communities. Knowledge of microbial diversity and function in soils are limited because of the taxonomic and methodological limitations associated with studying the organisms. In this review, approaches to measure microbial diversity in soil were discussed. Research on soil microbes can be categorized as structural diversity, functional diversity and genetic diversity studies, and these include cultivation based and cultivation independent methods. Cultivation independent technique to evaluate soil structural diversity include different techniques such as Phospholipid Fatty Acids (PLFA) and Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME) analysis. Carbon source utilization pattern of soil microorganisms by Community Level Physiological Profiling (CLPP), catabolic responses by Substrate Induced Respiration technique (SIR) and soil microbial enzyme activities are discussed. Genetic diversity of soil microorganisms using molecular techniques such as 16S rDNA analysis Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis (DGGE) / Temperature Gradient Gel Electrophoresis (TGGE), Terminal Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (T-RFLP), Single Strand Conformation Polymorphism (SSCP), Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) / Amplified Ribosomal DNA Restriction Analysis (ARDRA) and Ribosomal Intergenic Spacer Analysis (RISA) are also discussed. The chapter ends with a final conclusion on the advantages and disadvantages of different techniques and advances in molecular techniques to study the soil microbial diversity.
