Growth responses of Chlorella vulgaris exposed to different light intensities and wavelengths of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) were investigated. C. vulgaris was cultured under red LED (650 nm), blue LED (450 nm), green LED (520 nm), and fluorescent lamps (three wavelengths, control). The maximum growth rates (µ_max) of C. vulgaris were highest under the blue LED, followed by the red LED, green LED, and fluorescent lamps. The low compensation photon flux density (I₀) and low half-saturation constants (K_s) were observed in C. vulgaris cultured under the red LED, indicating that high C. vulgaris growth is closely related to the low light intensity of the red LED suggesting that the red LED can be useful for the biomass production of C. vulgaris. Furthermore, it was observed that under the blue LED during the stationary phase, there was an increase in useful bioactive substances, such as proteins and lipids, which are beneficial for biomass production. In conclusion, the red LED is an economical light source that can enhance cell density, and the blue LED is effective in promoting valuable intracellular substances.

The effects of temperature, salinity and irradiance on the growth of the dinoflagellate Akashiwo sanguinea isolated from Jaran Bay were examined in the laboratory. Maximum specific growth rate($0.28day^{-1}$) was observed with combination of $25^{\circ}C$ and 30 psu. Optimal growth (${\geq}80%$ of maximum specific growth rate) was obtained at $25^{\circ}C$ with salinities of 15~35 psu. This results indicated that A. sanguinea is a stenothermal of the high water temperature and euryhaline species. The irradiance-growth curve was described as ${\mu}=0.31(I-16.87)/(I+51.19)$. The compensation photon flux density ($I_0$) and half-saturation photon flux density ($K_I$) were $16.87{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}s^{-1}$ and $84.93{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}s^{-1}$, respectively. In conclustion, A. sanguinea has advantage physiological characteristics for the species succession at the coastal areas in summer with sufficient irradiance, high water temperature and large salinity gradient.

The effects of temperature, salinity and irradiance on the growth of dinoflagellate Alexandrium affine were examined. A maximum specific growth rate ($0.69day^{-1}$) was observed with a combination of $25^{\circ}C$ and 25 psu. Optimal growth (80 % of the maximum specific growth rate) was obtained at $20-26^{\circ}C$ with salinities of 20-35 psu. The results indicated that A. affine is relatively stenothermal of given high water temperature and is a euryhaline species. The irradiance-growth curve found can be described as ${\mu}=0.75(I-4.25)/(I+65.47)$. The compensation photon flux density ($I_c$) and half-saturation photon flux density ($K_I$) were $4.25{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}s^{-1}$ and $57.0{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}s^{-1}$, respectively. In conclusion, A. affine has advantageous physiological characteristics that enable it to be a dominant species in coastal areas with high water temperature and a large salinity gradient, in spite of relatively low irradiance.

A self-bearing is an electric machine that achieves both rotational actuation and magnetic levitation using a single magnetic structure. To be able to stably levitate the rotor in a self-bearing, one needs to have an inverse of the force-current model. However, the force-current model in a self-bearing motor is typically not square. Furthermore, the elements of the matrix vary with respect to the rotational angle, resulting in singularities of the pseudo-inverse at various angles. In this paper, we propose a new force-current model that eliminates the singularities by adding a constraint in coil currents. This constraint eliminates the flux density in the stator core so that the saturation problem in the previous study is avoided. By implementing this force-current model, we are able to implement a levitation controller for a toroidally-wound self-bearing BLDC motor. The model inversion and levitation are validated experimentally.

The effects of irradiance on the growth of toxic dinoflagellates Alexandrium tamarense (Masan Bay strain) and Alexandrium catenella (Jinhae Bay strain) were investigated in the laboratory. At $15^{\circ}C$ and 30 psu for A. tamarense and $25^{\circ}C$ and 30 psu for A. catenella, the irradiance-growth curve showed the maximum growth rate (${\mu}_{max}$) of 0.31 $day^{-1}$ with half-saturation photon flux density (PFD) ($K_I$) of 44.53 ${\mu}molm^{-2}s^{-1}$, and a compensation PFD ($I_c$) was 20.67 ${\mu}molm^{-2}s^{-1}$ for A. tamarense, and ${\mu}_{max}$ of 0.38 $day^{-1}$ with $K_I$ of 59.53 ${\mu}molm^{-2}s^{-1}$, and $I_c$ was 40.80 ${\mu}molm^{-2}s^{-1}$ for A. catenella. The $I_c$ equated to a depth of 8~9 m from March to June for A. tamarense and 6~7 m from March to June for A. catenella. These responses suggested that irradiance at the depth near the middle layer in Masan Bay would provide favorable conditions for two species.

The effects of water temperature, salinity and irradiance on the growth of harmful algae Chattonella marina isolated from Gamak Bay in South Sea, Korea were investigated. C. marina was able to grow in temperatures of $15-30^{\circ}C$ and salinities of 10-35 psu. Maximum specific growth rate (0.64/day) was observed with combination of $25^{\circ}C$ and 25 psu. Optimal growth (${\ge}70%$ of maximum specific growth rate) was obtained with all salinities of the above $20^{\circ}C$. This result indicated that C. marina is a stenothermal of the high water temperature and euryhaline organism. C. marina was did not grow at irradiance ${\le} 10{\mu}mol$ photons/($m^2\;s$). Photoinhibition did not occur at $300{\mu}mol$ photons/($m^2\;s$), which was the maximum irradiance used in this study. The irradiance-growth curve was described as ${\mu}=0.78(I-11.4)/(I+34.1)$ at $25^{\circ}C$ and 25 psu. The half-saturation photon flux density (PFD) ($K_s$) was $56.9{\mu}mol$ photons/($m^2\;s$) and compensation PFD ($I_c$) was $11.4{\mu}mol$ photons/($m^2\;s$). The result of the present study indicate that C. marina has advantage physiological characteristic to the interspecific competition at the embayment and costal areas of South and West Sea, Korea in summer.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the degradation of soft magnetic properties of Fe-Hf-N thin films after annealing in vacuum. They were annealed at 450℃∼650℃. The microstructure and crystal phase of the selected area of the thin films were analyzed by TEM and SAD. After annealing at 450℃-600℃, the coercivity of the films increased by 0.2 Oe and the effective permeability decreased by 1500 as compared with them before annealing due to the growth of α-Fe crystallites. The saturation magnetic flux density of the films increased by 0.5 KG after annealing under 600℃. However, the soft magnetic properties of the film annealed at 650℃ degraded abruptly, which was attributed to the destruction of nano-crystalline microstructure of the film due to the rapid growth of α-Fe crystallites with the segregation of N sited in the α-Fe lattice into HfN.

CoFeNi alloys are some of the most studied soft magnetic materials because of their applications as write-head core materials in HDD and MEMS. Ternary CoFeNi films with high saturation magnetic flux density, Bs and low coercivity, He were successfully grown by electrodeposition. The optimal composition was $Co_{30}\;Fe_{34}\;Ni_{36}(at\%)$, and Bs and Hc were 1.9 T and 0.16 A/m, respectively. The XRD and TEM results show that the low Hc of the CoFeNi films was due to very fine crystal particles and mixed fcc and bcc phases.

Amorphous FeBSiNb alloy ribbons having bulk glass forming ability and high saturation magnetic flux density were produced by single-roller melt spinning apparatus in the thickness range of 22∼102㎛. With the increase of thickness, the coercive force and squareness ratio decreased, while maximum permeability and AC permeability increased. However electrical resistivity was almost constant. Furthermore refined and complex magnetic domain structure was observed in thicker ribbons owing to the change in internal magnetic anisotropy. For the alloy with the thickness of 81㎛, small coercive force of 24 mOe and high effective permeability of 12,000 at 1㎑ were obtained, those are considered to be better comparing to the conventional soft magnetic amorphous alloys (∼20 ㎛). The good soft magnetic properties of the thick FeBSiNb amorphous alloys were attributed to the decrease in surface pinning effect during wall motion, appearance of perpendicular anisotropy and resulted domain refinement.

The effects of light quality and irradiance on the growth of Cochlodinium polykrikoides were investigated in the laboratory. At 25°C and 30 psu the irradiance-growth curve was described as μ = 0.34 (I-9.76)/(I+12.5), (r=0.98). This suggests half-saturation photon flux density (PFD) (Ks) of 32.0 μmol photons m–2 s–1, and a compensation PFD (Ic) of 9.76 μmol photons m–2 s–1. Because the Ic equates to a depth of ca. 15.4 m, these responses suggest that irradiance at the depth around and below the thermocline in Yeosuhae Bay would provide favorable conditions for C. polykrikoides. Photoinhibition did not occur at 300 μmol photons m–2 s–1, which was the maximum irradiance used in this study. Blue (450 nm), yellow (590 nm) and red (650 nm) light had different effects on the growth of C. polykrikoides: it grew well under blue light, but not under yellow light. This implies that C. polykrikoides is more likely to cause an outbreak of red tide in the open sea where blue-green wavelengths predominate, rather than in enclosed water bodies where suspended particles absorb most of the blue wavelengths, and yellow-orange wavelengths predominate.
