In this study, high dielectric materials, (Pb,La)Ti $O_3$ thin films were fabricated by PLD (Pulsed Laser Deposition) method and investigated in terms of structural and electrical characteristics in order to develope the dielectric materials for the use of new capacitor layers of Giga bit-level DRAM. The deposition conditions were examined in order to fabricate uniform thin films through systematic changes of oxygen pressures and substrate temperature. The uniform thickness and smooth morphology of (P $b_{0.72}$L $a_{0.28}$)Ti $O_3$ thin films were obtained at the conditions of substrate-target distance 5.5[cm], laser energy density 2.1[J/$\textrm{cm}^2$], oxygen pressure 200[mTorr] and substrate temperature 500[$^{\circ}C$]. After the (P $b_{0.72}$L $a_{0.28}$)Ti $O_3$ thin films were fabricated under the above conditions, they were post-annealed by RTA process in order to increase the dielectric constant. The film thickness of 1200 [$\AA$] had dielectric constant 821. Assuming that operating voltage is 2V, leakage current density of (P $b_{0.72}$L $a_{0.28}$)Ti $O_3$ thin films would result into 10$^{-7}$ [A/$\textrm{cm}^2$] and satisfied the specification of 256M DRAM planar capacitor, 4$\times$10$^{-7}$ [A/$\textrm{cm}^2$]m}^2$]

This study analyzed the influence of climate change on the spawning ground area of the common squid, Todarodes pacificus. To estimate long term changes in the area of the spawning ground of the common squid, water temperature at 50 m deep that can be inferred from sea surface temperature (SST) based on both NOAA/AVHRR (1981.07-2002.12) and MODIS/AQUA (2003.01-2009.12) ocean color data was analyzed. In addition, five climate indices, Arctic Oscillation Index (AO), Siberian High Index (SH), Aleutian Low Pressure Index (ALP), East Asia Winter Monsoon Index (EAWM) and Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) which are the main indicators of climate changes in the northwestern Pacific were used to study the relationship between the magnitude of the estimated spawning ground and climate indices. The area of the estimated spawning ground was highly correlated with the total catch of common squid throughout four decades. The area of the estimated spawning ground was negatively correlated with SH and EAWM. Especially, PDO was negatively correlated with the area of the spawning ground in the northwestern Pacific (r = -0.39) and in the southern part of the East Sea (r = -0.38). There was a positive relationship between the AO and the area of the spawning ground in the northwestern Pacific (r = 0.46) as well as in the southern part of the East Sea (r = 0.32). Temporally, the area of the winter spawning ground in the southern part of the East Sea in the 1980s was smaller than those areas in the 1990s and 2000s, because the area was disconnected with the western coastal spawning ground of Japan in the 1980s, while the area had been made wider and more continuous from the Korea strait to the western coastal water of Honshu in the 1990s and 2000s.

Al-Si-SiC composite powders with intra-granular SiC particles were prepared by a gas atomization process. The composite powders were mixed with Al-Zn-Mg alloy powders as a function of weight percent. Those mixture powders were compacted with the pressure of 700 MPa and then sintered at the temperature of $565-585^{\circ}C$. T6 heat treatment was conducted to increase their mechanical properties by solid-solution precipitates. Each relative density according to the optimized sintering temperature of those powders were determined as 96% at $580^{\circ}C$ for Al-Zn-Mg powders (composition A), 97.9% at $575^{\circ}C$ for Al-Zn-Mg powders with 5 wt.% of Al-Si-SiC powders (composition B), and 98.2% at $570^{\circ}C$ for Al-Zn-Mg powders with 10 wt.% of Al-Si-SiC powders (composition C), respectively. Each hardness, tensile strength, and wear resistance test of those sintered samples was conducted. As the content of Al-Si-SiC powders increased, both hardness and tensile strength were decreased. However, wear resistance was increased by the increase of Al-Si-SiC powders. From these results, it was confirmed that Al-Si-SiC/Al-Zn-Mg composite could be highly densified by the sintering process, and thus the composite could have high wear resistance and tensile strength when the content of Al-Si-SiC composite powders were optimized.

Densification occurs by the inelastic flow of the matrix materials during the consolidation processes at high temperature for MMCs, and the results depend on many process conditions such as applied pressure, temperature and volume fraction of fiber and matrix materials. This is particularly important in titanium matrix composites since material failure may occur by either the applied conditions or microstructural parameters through the processes, and thus a generic model based on micro-mechanical approaches enabling the evolution of density over time to be predicted has been developed. The mode developed is then implemented into FEM so that practical process simulation has been carried out. Further the experimental investigation of the consolidation behavior of SiC/Ti-6Al-4V composites using vacuum hot pressing has been performed, and the results obtained are compared with the model predictions.

In this study the optimum dyeing conditions and blocking effect of UV deodorization efficiency of Ligustrum japonicum Thunb were investigated. Colorants were water-extracted from Ligustrum japonicum Thunb fruit and freeze-drided to obtain colorants powder. The effects of dye concentration, dyeing temperature, dyeing time, and the number of dipping count were studied. Fastness to dry cleaning, rubbing, perspiration, and light were measured according to KS K 0644, KS K 0650, KS K 0715 and KS K 0700, respectively. In order to examine the dyeability according to dyeing conditions, reflectance of fabrics were measured by using UV/VIS spectrophotometer. The bath ratio was 1:20. Dyeing concentration was 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500% on the weight of fiber. Dyeing time was 20, 40, 60, and 80 minutes. Dyeing temperature was 20, 40, 60, 80, and $100^{\circ}C$. The infrared high pressure dying machine was used. As dyeing concentration increased, dye adsorption increased up to 400% and it slowed down. Dye uptake was increased with raising themperature up to $80^{\circ}C$ and it slowed down. Dye adsorption occurred rapidly at first 20 minutes and then it slowed down and reached almost maximum dye uptake at 60 min. Dye uptake increased by repeated dyeing. Therefore, it is considered that optimum dyeing condition is 400%(o.w.f.), $80^{\circ}C$, 60 min. And repeated dyeing improves dye uptake. Color fastness to dry cleaning and rubbing was good, but light fastness and perspiration fastness was not good. Blocking effect of ultraviolet radiation and deodorization efficiency was good.

The purpose of this study is experimentally to analyze that the fuel mass fractions of multi-component mixed fuels have an effect on the characteristics of spray ignition and combustion under the ambient conditions of diesel combustion fields. The characteristics of ignition and combustion were investigated by chemiluminescence images and direct photography. The experiments were conducted in the RCEM(rapid compression expansion machine) with optical access. Multi-component fuels mixed with i-octane, n-dodecane and n-hexadecane are injected in RCEM by the electronic control of common rail injector. Experimental conditions set up 42, 72 and 112 MPa in injection pressure, 700, 800 and 900 K in ambient gas temperature. The results show that the ignition delay was dependent on high cetane number. In case of low ambient temperature, the more low boiling point fuels were mixed, the lower luminance regime had a remarkable effect and also shortened diffusion combustion by increasing heat release rate.

Tungsten(W) thin films with good adhesion property and low resistivity (~10 $\mu$\Omega$$.cm) were deposited directly on $SiO_2$ by LPCVD. The adhesion property of W thin films on $SiO_2$ improves as the temperature and/or $SiH_4/WF_6$ gas ratio increase. Specifically tungsten thin films could be deposited on $SiO_2$ even at $350^{\circ}C$ if the gas ratio of 2 was employed. The resistivity of tungsten thin films deposited at $350^{\circ}C$ was high due to the presence of $\beta$-W. However, the resistivity can be minimized by increasing the amount of $H_2$ gas flow. Therefore, it is shown in this work that the adhesion of tungsten thin films on $SiO_2$ can be improved simply by controlling the process parameters (e.g., temperature, gas ratio and $H_2$ flow rate) without employing complex deposition methods or additional glue layers.

Growth and flowering of Cymbidium 'Red Fire' and 'Yokihi' plants were examined in a greenhouse with cooling systems in summer, and with night interruption (NI) lighting in winter as a forcing culture system. The greenhouse was divided into two sections with separate cooling controls during the summer season. One section was cooled by a mist system (mist), while the other section was cooled by a shade screen (shade). During the winter, the greenhouse was redivided into three sections within each cooling system. Plants were grown with NI either at a low light intensity of $3-7{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$(LNI) or a high l ight intensity of $120{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$(HNI) u sing h igh-pressure sodium l amps during the 22:00-02:00 HR. The control plants were grown under 9 h short-day condition. NI for 16 weeks and cooling for 9 weeks were employed twice during the 2 years of the experimental period. The air temperature was approximately $2^{\circ}C$ lower in the mist than in the shade and the relative humidity was 80 ${\pm}5%$ in the mist compared to $55{\pm}5%$ in the shade. The daily light integral in the mist section was 48% higher than in the shade section. The time from initial planting to flowering pseudobulb emergence decreased with both LNI and HNI for both cultivars, regardless of the cooling treatments. Under NI conditions, however, between 60% and 1 00% of plants of both cultivars flowered in the mist, whereas no or 20% of 'Red Fire' or 'Yokihi' plants, respectively, flowered in the shade treatment over 2 years. Plants grown under the mist had bigger pseudobulbs than those grown in the shade under both NI treatments. These results show that commercial use of NI in winter and a mist cooling system in summer would decrease crop production time to 2 years and increase profits in Cymbidium forcing culture.

To develop a burnt beef flavor by reaction flavor technology, hydrolyzed vegetable protein (HVP) was reacted with precursors. Ribose, cysteine, furaneol, thiamin, methionine, garlic powder, and phospholipid were selected as suitable precursors for producing a burnt beef flavor. HVP and the selected precursors were reacted in a high pressure reactor to optimize reaction parameters, such as temperature, time, and water content. Optimum reaction conditions were $130^{\circ}C$, 1 hr, and 7.5% water addition. A burnt beef flavor was generated without pH adjustment. On the basis of an omission test, cysteine, furaneol, thiamin, and garlic powder were evaluated for optimization using response surface methodology. The optimum composition of precursore was determined to be 7.7% cysteine, 7.3% furaneol, 2.1% thiamin, and 6.9% garlic powder. Based on these results, optimum reaction conditions for the production of a burnt beef flavor from HVP were 5% ribose, 5% methionine, 5% phospholipid, 7.7% cysteine, 7.3% furaneol, 2.1% thiamin, 6.9% garlic powder, 7.5% water addition, $130^{\circ}C$ reaction temperature, and 1hr reaction time.
