Physical experiments were conducted to investigate the suspension properties of silty mud in combined wave-current flow. Suspension mass when there was opposing current was much higher than that when there was following current. It is due to the fact which strong turbulent flow in the bottom is developed in the opposing current but oscillatory flow effect decreases in the following current. Critical bed shear stress for suspension of silty mud in combined wave-current flow was deduced to be $\tau$$_{c}$～0.045 N/$m^2$. Formulas expressing the relation with initial suspension rate with bed shear stress, and the relation between the former and measured significant wave height were deduced. The relationship of initial suspension rate with bed shear stress was significantly scattered, but the relationship with measured significant wave height was reasonably good. When there is wave only, vertical diffusion coefficients of sediment were calculated from the vertical concentration gradients of suspended sediment when the concentration of suspended sediment approached to nearly equilibrium state. The diffusion coefficient increased exponentially with height from the bottom in the lower half of the flow depth but were nearly constant in the upper half of the flow depth.h.

The reliability of gas turbine engine blades was studied. Yield strength, Young’s modulus, engine speed and gas temperature were considered as statistically independent random variables. The failure probability was calculated using five different methods. Advanced Mean Value Method was the most efficient without significant loss in accuracy. When random variables were assumed to have normal, lognormal and Weibull distributions with the same means and standard deviations, the CDF of limit state equation did not change significantly with the distribution functions of random variables. The normalized sensitivity of failure probability with respect to standard deviations of random variables was the largest with gas temperature. The effect of means and standard deviations of random variables was studied. The increase in the mean of gas temperature and the standard deviation of engine speed increased the failure probability the most significantly.

This study was conducted to provide a guideline for laying hens breeding through comparing performance test results and domestic and foreign breeding processing for the purpose of succeeding in laying hen industry. The annual average egg numbers were 120 at 1930, 135 at 1940 and 175 at 1950 which was 146% increase during a decade. Heterosis was firstly introduced at 1924 and was applied to produce commercial stock since 1950. The theory of selection for quantitative traits was established by Lerner in 1951. In Europe and America, the annual average egg numbers in performance test were 175, 213, 219 and 277 in 1950, 1960, 1970 and 1985, respectively, and in Korea, those were 196, 226 and 265 in 1960, 1970 and 1980, respectively Laying hen breeding through simultaneous selection of numerous traits may provoke elevation of viability, improvement of feed efficiency, alongation of laying period and increase of disease resistance.

We investigated the beneficial effects of Ecklonia cava by-product (ECB), a residual product obtained after polyphenol extraction from Ecklonia cava, on normal rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into the following three groups: Control group (NC), received basal diet; ECB 0.1 group, received basal diet supplemented with 0.1% ECB for 21 days; ECB 0.5 group, received basal diet supplemented with 0.5% ECB for 21 days. The productivity, serum immunoglobulin level, expression levels of muscle-related genes, and cecal microflora were measured in all the treatment groups to evaluate the potential use of ECB as a feed additive. The ECB 0.1 group exhibited enhanced expression of Myod, Myog, and Igf1 genes, which increased the body weight of rats. Additionally, treatment with ECB increased the cecal Lactobacillus spp. counts and the serum immunoglobulin G levels in rats. Thus, ECB can effectively increase body weight and can be a potential feed additive for improving growth.

HIC transport packaging to transport a high integrity container(HIC) containing dry spent resin generated from nuclear power plants is to comply with the regulatory requirements of Korea and IAEA for Type B packaging due to the high radioactivity of the content, and to maintain the structural integrity under normal and accident conditions. It must withstand 9 m free drop impact onto an unyielding surface and 1 m drop impact onto a mild steel bar in a position causing maximum damage. For the conceptual design of a cylindrical HIC transport package, three dimensional dynamic structural analysis to ensure that the integrity of the package is maintained under all credible loads for 9 m free drop and 1 m puncture conditions were carried out using ABAQUS code.

This study was conducted to identify allelopathic compounds in rye and oat straw extracts by HPLC analysis. These extracts were analyzed with 12 standard chemicals including salicylic acid. 11 chemicals in rye extract except for naringin and in oat extract except for catechin were identified. Salicylic acid(8.34mg/g) in rye straw extracts and naringin(7.50mg/g) in oat straw extracts among these standard chemicals were identified as the largest amount substance. The germination of Chenopodium ablum seeds was significantly inhibited by these chemicals at $10^{-3}$ and $10^{-4}M$ concentrations as compared to control. Salicylic acid in rye and naringin in oat were considered as the major allelopathic substances although allelopathy may be caused by an interaction of many substances. Yet many unidentified chemical compounds are present in both extracts.

Co-Zn ferrite thin films grown on thermally oxidized silicon wafers were fabricated by a sol-gel method. Magnetic and structural properties of Co-Zn thin films were investigated by using x-ray diffractometer (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). Co-Zn ferrite thin films annealed at 400 $^{\circ}C$ presented have only a single phase spinel structure without any preferred crystallite orientation. Their surface roughness of Co-Zn ferrite thin films was shown as less than 3 nm and the grain size was about 40 nm for annealing temperatures over 600 $^{\circ}C$. A moderate saturation magnetization of Co-Zn ferrite thin films for recording media was obtained in this study and there is no significant difference of their magnetic property with those external fields of parallel and perpendicular to planes of the films. The maximum value of the coercivity was obtained as 1,900 Oe for Co-Zn ferrite thin film annealed at 600 $^{\circ}C$.

Structural, optical and electrical properties of Cd$_{1-x}$ Zn$_{x}$S films deposited by chemical bath deposition(CBD), which is a very attractive method for low-cost and large-area solar cells, are presented. Especially, in order to control more effectively the zinc component of the films, zinc acetate, which was used as the zinc source, was added in the reaction solution after preheating the reaction solution and the pH of the reaction solution decreased with increasing the concentration of zinc acetate. The films prepared after preheating and pH control had larger zinc component and higher optical band gap. The crystal structures of Cd$_{1-x}$ Zn$_{x}$S films was a wurtzite type with a preferential orientation of the (002) plane and the lattice constants of the films changed from the value for CdS to those for ZnS with increasing the mole ratio of the zinc acetate. The minimum lattice mismatch between Cd$_{1-x}$ Zn$_{x}$S and CdTe were 2.7% at the mole ratio of (ZnAc$_2$)/(CdAc$_2$+ZnAc$_2$)=0.4. As the more zinc substituted for Cd in the films, the optical transmittance improved, while the absorption edge shifted toward a shorterwavelength. the photoconductivity of the films was higher than the dark conductivity, while the ratio of those increased with increasing the mole ratio of zinc acetate. acetate.

Structural, optical and electrical properties of CdS films deposited by chemical bath deposition (CBD), which are a very attractive method for low-cost and large-area solar cells, are presented. Cadmium sulfide (CdS) is II-VI semiconductor with a wide band gap of approximately 2.42 eV. CdS films have a great application potential such as solar cell, optical detector and optoelectronics device. In this paper, effects of Rapid Thermal Process (RTP) on the properties of CdS films were investigated. The CdS films were prepared on a glass by chemical bath deposition (CBD) and subsequently annealed at standard temperature $(400^{\circ}C)$ and treatment time (10 min) in various atmospheres (air, vacuum and $N_2$). The CdS films treated RTP in $N_2$ for to min were showed larger grain size and higher carrier density than the other samples.
