[ $11\AA$ ] tobermorite$(5CaO{\cdot}6SiO_2{\cdot}5H_2O)$ is synthesized from the mixtures of calcium hydroride and quartz using alumina in a molar ratio $Ca(OH)_2/SiO_2$ of 0.8 at $180^{\circ}C$ for 8 and 24 hrs under saturated steam pressure. The influence of alumina on the formation of $11\AA$ tobermorite was investigated by X-ray diffraction, differential thermal analysis and infrared spectroscopy. $11\AA$ tobermorite containing increasingly larger amounts of aluminum showed a shift of the basal spacing from 11.3 to $11.6\AA$. In general, there was a direct linear relation between the basal spacing and added content of alumina. The differential thermal analysis curves showed that $11\AA$ tobermorite with increasing alumina contents exhibited the exothermic peak at high temperature, namely $11\AA$ tobermorite containing aluminum gave a sharp exothermic peak at temperature around $850\~860^{\circ}C$ in the case of $S_3\~S_5$. The absorption band at $1607\~1620cm^{-1}$ is attributed to the bending vibration of water, and the position of the main O-H stretching and Si-O lattice vibration of $11\AA$ tobermorite at 3500 and $965cm^{-1}$ respectively is not altered. Consequently the existence of alumina accelerates the crystallization of $11\AA$ tobermorite, and that the aluminum ion appears to substitute for the silicon ion in $11\AA$ tobermorite structure. Al-containing tobermorite is distinguished from Al-free tobermorite.

To elucidate the mechanism associated with the development of heavy precipitation system, a field experiment was carried out in Jejudo (or Jeju Island) and Marado, Korea from 22 June to 12 July 2006. The synoptic atmospheric conditions were analyzed using the National Centers for Environmental Prediction-National Center for Atmospheric Research's (NCEP/NCAR) reanalyzed data, weather maps, and sounding data. The kinematic characteristics of each precipitation system were investigated by dual Doppler radar analysis. During the field experiment, data of four precipitation events with more than 20 mm rainfall were collected. In F case (frontal precipitation), a typical Changma front was dominant and the observation field was fully saturated. However there was no convective instability near the surface. LF case (low pressure accompanied with Changma front) showed strong convective instability near the surface, while a strong convergence corresponded to the low pressure from China accompanied with Changma front. In FT case (Changma front indirectly influenced by typhoon), the presence of a convective instability indicated the transport of near surface, strong additional moisture from the typhoon 'EWINIAR'. The convergence wind field was ground to be located at a low level. The convective instability was not significant in T case (precipitation of the typhoon 'EWINIAR'), since the typhoon passed through Jejudo and the Changma front was disappeared toward the northeastern region of the Korean peninsula. The kinematic (convergence and divergence) characteristics of wind fields, convective instability, and additional moisture inflow played important roles in the formation and development of heavy precipitation.

In this study, we have investigated the development of the crystal growth stability and reproducibility for large and high-quality DAST. DAST crystal were grown from a saturated methanol solution by a slow cooling method and DAST was synthesized by the condensation of 4-methyl-n-methyl pyridinum tosylate, which was prepared from 4-pocoline and methyl toluenesulponate and 4-N-dimethyl amino-bezaldehyde in the presence of piperidine. We had synthesized DAST crystals in dry Argon atmosphere in order to avoid the formation of hydride organge co-crystals, DAST$.$$H_2O$. Since DAST molecules crystallize in a humid atmosphere, crystal structure become centrosymmetric, and then second order NLO (nonlinear optical) properties would be disappeared. We fixed the growth orientation of DAST crystal (001) surface. The crystal growth was proceeded at a cooling rate of $H_2O$/day and the cooling period is for 4 days. The dimensions of seed crystal was $2.5\times 3.6\times0.4\textrm{mm}^3$ and we have obtained a DAST crystal with the dimension of $10\times 10.5\times3.0\textrm{mm}^3$. The color of grown DAST crystal is red and it's surface appears to be metallic green.

This study reviewed the effect of the drying conditions on the production of biogenic amines and lipid oxidation in semi-dried Pacific saury Cololabis saira or Guamegi. The moisture content of the Guamegi ranged from $32.71{\pm}2.37$ to $45.9{\pm}2.60$ g/100 g. The respective ranges of the acid value (AV) and peroxide value (POV) were $1.39{\pm}0.40$ to $15.79{\pm}0.47$ mg KOH/g and $76.14{\pm}2.19$ to $282.84{\pm}2.34$ meq/kg on drying for 3 days. The AV and POV increased for up to 3 days of drying and the values differed according to the amount of sunlight and temperature. However, lipid oxidation was reduced in Guamegi manufactured using a cold-air drying method. The fatty acid composition and the biogenic amine content in Guamegi during drying did not differ significantly with the drying method or drying date. The main saturated, monoene and polyene fatty acids were palmitic acid, eicosenoic & erucic acids, and eicosapentaenoic & docosahexaenoic acids, respectively. At 16.67 to 71.89 mg/kg, the histamine content was higher than that of other biogenic amines and it increased significantly during drying. In conclusion, this study showed that the packaging and drying conditions of Guamegi products need to be improved to inhibit lipid oxidation and biogenic amine formation.

We grew the hexagonal GaN films on (100) Si and (00.1) sapphire substrates in the temperature range of $300~730^{\circ}C$ by the direct reaction between thermally ionized N-source and thermally evaporated Ga-source. The GaN growth rates are increased at the initial stage of GaN formation and it was saturated to some values by the coalescence of each crystallites. The oxygen signal was observed in XPS spectra for all the GaN films grown in this work, especially low- temperature grown GaN film may due to incorporation of the residual oxygen in the growth chamber. The surface of low-temperature and shorter time grown films covered only Ga-droplets. however, with increasing the both substrate temperature and the growth time GaN is growth to crystallites. and coalescence to ring-type crystallites. With sufficient supply of N-source, they were changed to platelets. In the PL spectrum measured at 20 K, we observed the impurity related emission at 3.32eV and 3.38eV.

Some nodules occur in the Milyang pyrophyllite deposit which are hydrothermal alteration products by Late Cretaceous andesitic tuff. These nodules are divided into two types on the basis of mineral assemblages; diaspore and pyrophyllite nodules. The diaspore nodules consist mainly of diaspore, kaolinite, pyrophyllite and pyrite with a small amounts of wavellite and tourmaline. They are light purplish grey in color, ellipsoid in shape and range 1 cm to 15 cm in size. A small or large diffuse band exists in some nodules. The platy coarse-grained diaspore is intergrown with the fine-aggregated kaolinite in the central part of the nodule. It appears that the grain size become fine from center to margin. The pyrophyllite nodules, which have the same shape with diaspore nodules, consist dominantly of pyrophyllite accompanied by small amounts of quartz, kaolinite, svanbergite, wavellite, tourmaline and apatite. Chemical compositions of alteration zones and nodules show that the wall rock alteration involved mainly the removal of large quantities of silica and alkalies and small quantities of Ca, Mg and Fe. The sharp increase in the Al content of the nodules is the result of residual concentration of alumina by the leaching of the mobile components. The pyrophyllite nodules were formed in the fluid saturated with quartz as ${\mu}_{HK_{-1}}$ and ${\mu}_{H_{2}O}$ increase. Under this condition, the pyrophyllite-kaolinite-quartz assemblage was stable. Diaspores formed from pyrophyllites in the fluid undersaturated with quartz as ${\mu}_{H_{2}O}$ increases (decreasing temperature). Under this condition, diaspore-pyrophyllite-kaolinite assemblage become stable. The formation temperature of the nodules on the basis of mineral assemblage is estimated as $275{\sim}340^{\circ}C$.

When the ground temperature drops below $0^{\circ}C$, wet soils expand due to the ice formation in their porous space. This results in frost heave which causes structural stability problems. Frost heave is attributed by several factors such as physical soil properties and heat transfer including pore water phase change. Due to the complex physical phenomena, reliable and verified multi-dimensional numerical models for frost heave problems are still in a research stage. This study presents an efficient and simple method of overcoming numerical problems associated with sudden jump of heat capacity due to the phase change from water to ice in the pore space. This paper proposes heat transfer equation and finite element method when the saturated soils or porous rocks are subjected to freezing. Numerical analyses using the proposed method agree well with the known closed form solution and the laboratory test results.

Adsorption of glycine on$Si_3N_4$powder surface has been investigated, which is supposed to enhance the formation of passive layer inhibiting oxidation in aqueous solution. In the basic solution, multinuclear surface complexing between Si and dissociated ligands was responsible for the saturated adsorption of glycine. In addition, $CeO_2$-based CMP slurry containing glycine was manufactured and then applied to planarize$SiO_2$and$Si_3N_4$thin film. Owing to the passivation by glycine, the removal rates, Rh, were decreased, however, the selectivities, RE(SiO$_2$)/RR($Si_3N_4$), increased and showed maximum at pH=12. The suppressed oxidation and dissolution by adsorbate were correlated with the dissociation behavior of glycine at different pH and subsequent chemical adsorption.

Soybean lecithin liposomes composed phosphatidyl choline, phosphatidyl ethanolamine, phosphatidyl inositol and phosphatidic acid were prepared by using the previously developed supercritical reverse phase evaporation method. The effect of phospholipid composition on the formation of liposomes and physicochemical properties were examined by means of trapping efficiency measurements, transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering and zeta potential measurements. The trapping efficiency of liposomes for D-(+)-glucose made of CNA-Ⅰ which contains approximately 95% phosphatidyl choline is higher than that of CNA-II and CNA-O which contain approximately 32% phosphatidyl choline. However there is no any difference between the trapping efficiency of liposomes for D-(+)-glucose made of CNA-II which has saturated hydrocarbons tails and that of liposomes made of CNA-O which has unsaturated hydrocarbon chains. The electron micrographs of liposomes made of CNA-II and CNA-O show small spherical liposomes with diameter of $0.1\sim0.25{\mu}m$, while that of CNA-I shows large unilamellar liposomes with diameter of $0.2\sim1.2{\mu}m$. These results clearly show that phospholipid structure of phosphatidylcholine allows an efficient preparation of large unilamellar liposomes and a high trapping efficiency for water soluble substances. Liposomes made of CNA-II and CNA-O remained well-dispersed for at least 14 days, while liposome suspension made of CNA-I separated in two phase at 14 days due to aggregation and fusion of liposomes. The dispersibility of liposomes made of CNA-I is lower than that of CNA-II and CNA-O due to the smallar zeta potential of CNA-I.

The photosynthetic activities in relation to oxygen evolution rates, quantum yield, CO2 uptake rates and room temperature chlorophyll fluorescence were investigated in cotyledons of cucumber seedlings exposed to low temperature (at 4$^{\circ}C$) for 24 h. Light-chilling caused more inhibition on light-saturated maximum oxygen evolution rates, quantum yield, and CO2 uptake rates than dark-chilling did in the cucumber plant. Light-chilling induced more marked increase in Fo and decrease in (Fv)m/Fm than dark-chilling did in the room temperature chlorophyll induction kinetics. The above results affected by chilling in the light are considered to be associated with the partial damage of the reaction center of PS II and the decreased photosynthetic activities. There occurred a large decrease in qQ with little change in qNP in the light-chilling plant. When light- and dark-chilled plants were recovered at room temperature for 24 h and their chlorophyll fluorescences were induced with light doubling technique, light-chilled plants showed more smaller magnitude and rate of fluorescence relaxation than dark-chilled plants. These suggest that light-chilling might cause some alterations in transthylakoid pH formation, and that photosynthetic apparatus of cucumber cotyledons is more susceptible to light-chilling. In the fast fluorescence induction kinetics, FR was decreased by 60% in the light-chilled plants with reference to $25^{\circ}C$ light-grown plants, while the dark-chilled plants showed a decreased rate of only 20% with reference to $25^{\circ}C$ dark-treated plants for 24 h, indicating that cucumber seedling is very sensitive to chilling stress. So, it is certain that chilling injury to the photosynthetic apparatus is strongly dependent on the presence of light in cucumber seedlings.
