Blooms of Chattonella species are normally during summer in inland seas with high nutrients from the land and inflowing water. These blooms cause mass fish kills worldwide. We isolated a Chattonella strain from the south coast of Korea and identified it as C. antiqua. It is known that the morphological changes of phytoplankton correspond to the diurnal vertical migrations that follow an intrinsic biological clock and a nutrient acquisition mechanism during the day and night. In electron micrographs, C. antiqua clearly showed a radial distribution of lipid bodies in subcellular regions and plastids composed in which thylakoid layers were perpendicular to the surface. A single pyrenoid was present in each plastid and it was found at the end of the plastid towards the center of the cell. Throughout the day, plastids of C. antiqua cells appeared as an expanded net-like recticulum. During the night, however, the plastids changed their shape and contracted toward the cell periphery. The electron density of pyrenoids was increased in cells harvested during the night.

The novel implant system was developed using osseo-integration technology which enable amputee to overcome skin troubles in use of previous socket system and was evaluated in view of biomechanics, radiology, histology, and pathology. The osseo-integrated implants were designed and manufactured using CT image of canine's tibia and were applied to laboratory animals (canines). The follow-up studies were performed for 24 months with 10 canines. In radiology examination, we found that the relative low strain distribution caused medial and posterior bone resorption and then we verified them by biomechanical testing. In histological approach, the complete osseo-integration was observed through the activity of osteoblast cells around bone-implant interface and the radial outer region of bone due to peristeum reaction. Lastly in pathological aspect, the evidence of superficial infection was detected but that of deep infection was not. Therefore it is thought that infection problem will be overcome by immunity of body and good hygiene.

This paper is a continuation of the investigations started in the paper by Akbarov, S.D., Guliyev, H.H and Yahnioglu, N. (2016) "Natural vibration of the three-layered solid sphere with middle layer made of FGM: three-dimensional approach", Structural Engineering and Mechanics, 57(2), 239-263, to the case where the three-layered sphere is a hollow one. Three-dimensional exact field equations of elastodynamics are employed for investigation and the discrete-analytical method is employed for solution of the corresponding eigenvalue problem. The FGM is modelled as inhomogeneous for which the modulus of elasticity, Poison's ratio and density vary continuously through the inward radial direction according to power law distribution. Numerical results on the natural frequencies are presented and discussed. These results are also compared with the corresponding ones obtained in the previous paper by the authors. In particular, it is established that for certain harmonics and for roots of certain order, the values of the natural frequency obtained for the hollow sphere can be greater (or less) than those obtained for the solid sphere.

The structural variation process and relation of water of amorphous Ta-IPA bulk and thin film upon heat-treatment conditions of $25^{\circ}C$ and $340^{\circ}C$ have been studied by using the radial distribution functions$ (RDF_{obs})$ estimated from the X-ray diffraction intensities, TG-DTA and Infrared spectrophotometer. The expected Ta-IPA structure was determined by comparing the $ RDF_{obs}$ with that for $RDF_{calc}$. The structure of specimens prepared by sol-gel method is basically based on the L-$Ta_2O_5$ crystal. Thin film of samples are mainly composed of octahedral Ta$O_6$and have smaller cluster than bulk samples.

The effects of casing shapes on the performance and the interaction between an impeller and a casing in a small-sized centrifugal compressor are investigated. Especially, numerical analyses are conducted for the centrifugal compressor with both a circular casing and a volute one. The optimum design for each element (i.e., impeller, diffuser and casing) is important to develop an efficient and compact compressor using alternative refrigerant as working fluids. Typical rotating speed of the compressor is in the range of 40,000∼45,000 rpm. The impeller has backswept blades due to tip clearance and a vane diffuser has wedge type. In order to predict the flow pattern inside an entire impeller, vaneless diffuser and casing, calculations with multiple frames of reference method between the rotating and stationery parts of the domain are carried out. For computations of compressible turbulent flow fields, the continuity and time-averaged Navier-Stokes equations are employed. To evaluate the performance of two types of casings, the static pressure recovery and loss coefficients are obtained for various flow rates. Also, static pressure distributions around casings are studied for different casing shapes, which are very important to predict the distribution of radial load. The static pressure around the casing and pressure difference between the inlet and outlet of the compressor are measured for the circular casing.

We fabricated large single grain YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{x}$ (Y-123) superconductors. The single grain Y-123 was grown by top seeded melt growth (TSMG) method. In a conventional box furnace with uniform temperature distribution, it was very difficult to grow large single grain Y-123 superconductors due to the size limitation in growth. To overcome the size limitation, we applied a radial thermal gradient (lower temperature at sample center and higher temperature on the sample edge) to the TSMG process. In this case, large single grain Y-123 could be easily grown. This is attributed that the liquid of the sample edge was maintained at the high temperature compared to the growth front. Using this method, we successfully fabricated a large single grain Y-123 of 6.4 cm X6.4 cm

TEM(투과전자현미경, Transmission Electron Microscop)은 결정재료뿐 아니라 비정질 재료까지도 원자단위의 구조를 연구하는데 매우 유용한 도구이다. 특히 200kV의 가속전압 투과전자현미경에 FEG(Field Emission Gun) 전자총이 장착되기 시작하면서 TEM은 비정질 구조 연구에 하나의 핵심적인 도구로서의 역할이 크게 기대되는 장비가 되었다. 본 연구에서는 TEM의 microanalysis accessary인 EELS(Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy)technique을 주로 이용하던 기존의 방법대신 고 분해능(HRTEM(High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy)의 image로부터 비정질 정량묘사의 유일한 도구인 원자분포함수(RDF(Radial Distribution Function))로의 Reconstruction을 Simulation을 이용하여 시도하였다. 비정질 HRTEM image의 정량분석을 통하여 이 분야에서의 TEM의 한계를 이해하기 위하여 몇 모델을 제시하고 사용하였다. 또한 비정질 구조를 정량적으로 묘사하는 도구인 원자분포함수를 알아보고 비정질재료를 보다 물리적으로 모델링하기 위하여 가능한 모델 제시 후 첫 단계로서 HRTEM image에서 원자분포함수를 이끌어내기 위한 모델링을 수행하고 비정질 게르마늄(a-Ge) film에 대하여 실제로 적용하여 보았다. 마지막으로 실험적인 접근으로 200kV FE-TEm (poingt resolution 0.14nm) 으로 비정질 Ge의 image를 solw Scan CCD를 이용한 Elastic image를 Through Focus로 얻었으며 수치적인 정량비교를 역격자 공간에서 출발한 가장 물리적인 구조 모델을 이용하여 수행하였다. 모든 정량비교는 image의 Fourier 변환인 Diffractogram으로 하였다. 결론적으로, 많은 복잡한 수치 처리과정을 거쳐야 하지만 HRTEM의 image로부터 구조에 대한 정보(RDF)는 명확하게 얻을 수 있었다.

In external galaxies, the velocity dispersion of the atomic hydrogen gas shows a remarkably flat distribution with the galactocentric radius. This has been a long-standing puzzle because if the gas velocity dispersion is due to turbulence caused by supernova explosions, it should decline with radius. After a discussion on the role of spiral arms and ram pressure in driving interstellar turbulence in the outer parts of galactic disks, we argue that the constant bombardment by tiny high-velocity halo clouds can be a significant source of random motions in the outer disk gas. Recent observations of the flaring of H I in the Galaxy are difficult to explain if the dark halo is nearly spherical as the survival of the streams of tidal debris of Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal galaxy suggests. The radial enhancement of the gas velocity dispersion (at R > 25 kpc) due to accretion of cloudy gas might naturally explain the observed flaring in the Milky Way. Other motivations and implications of this scenario have been highlighted.

CS molecule is known to be adsorbed onto dust in cold dense cores, causing its significant depletion in the center region of cores. This study is aimed to investigate the depletion of CS molecule with optically thin $C^{34}S$ molecular line observations, including significance of its differentiation depending on the evolutionary status of the dense cores. We mapped five evolved starless cores, L1544, L1552, L1689B, L694-2 and L1197 using two molecular lines, $C^{34}S$ (J=2-1) and $N_2H^+$ (J=1-0) with NRO 45 m telescope. The $H^2$ column density and temperature structures of each targets were obtained by SED fitting for Herschel continuum images and the internal number density profiles by model fitting. All of the integrated intensity maps of $C^{34}S$ show depletion holes and 'semi-ring-like' distribution, indicating that the depletion of CS is clear and general. The radial profiles of CS abundance also show significant decrease towards the core center, while $N_2H^+$ abundance is almost constant or enhanced. We find that the more evolved cores with higher $H^2$ density tend to have a stronger depletion of CS. Our data strongly support claims that CS molecule generally depletes out in the central regions of starless dense cores and such chemical differentiation is closely related to their evolution.

Plasma density and its axial distribution and uniformity on the substrate in a helical resonator plasma in the external magnetic field have been measured using Langmuir probes. Net RF power is set to 200W and chamber pressure is varied from $1{\times}10^{-1}Torr$ to $1{\times}10^{-4}Torr$. There are three kinds of external magnetic field structure applied on the helical resonator plasma. One is a uniform magnetic field, another is a plus gradient magnetic field and the third is a minus gradient magnetic field. Of the three magnetic field structure, the minus gradient magnetic field is found to show the highest increase in plasma density on the substrate compared with other magnetic structures. In order to avoid radial density ununiformity, weak magnetic fields under 100Gauss are applied.
