Polymer-supported crown ethers (Ps-CE) which can be used for phase-transfer catalyst (PTC) were synthesized for the purpose of allowing reusable function to ordinary crown ethers, and the kinetics of the liquid-solid-liquid triphase-catalyzed nucleophilic displacement reaction of iodide (aqueous phase) on 1-bromooctane (organic phase) using synthesized Ps-CE (solid) were studied. Ps-CE were obtained by grafting of hydroxymethyl crown ethers to 1~2% cross-linked chloromethylated polystyrene. All reactions followed a pseudo-first order dependency on the 1-bromooctane concentration and the observed rate constants $(k_{obsd})$ were linearly related to the molar equivalents of Ps-CE, and were subjected to the influence of cross-linking density of polymer backbone, solvent and the reaction temperature. The catalytic activity of Ps-CE was also compared with that of structurally similar soluble crown ethers, and used Ps-CE were easily recovered after the reaction by simple filtration and could be reused without loss of catalytic activity in the same anionic displacement reaction. Enthalpies and entropies of activation associated with the displacement were 10~20kcal $mol^{-1}, 20~55eu. respectively, and the free energy of activation was ~30kcal mol^{-1}$.

The x-values of the nonstoichiometric compound YbO$_x$ have been measured in a temperature range of 600 to 1150$^{\circ}C$ under oxygen partial pressure of 1.00 ${\times}$ 10$^{-2}$ atm∼atmospheric air pressure. The values are varied between 1.55453 and 1.60794 in the conditions. The enthalpy of the formation for x' in YbO$_{1.5＋x'}$(${\Delta}$H$_f$) was 1.55, 1.18, and 1.05 kJ/mol under the above conditions, respectively. The electrical conductivities of the oxides or ${\sigma}$ have been measured in the temperature range from 600 to 1100$^{\circ}C$ under oxygen partial pressure of 1.00 ${\times}$ 10$^{-5}$ ∼ 2.00 ${\times}$ 10$^{-1}$ atm. They varied from 10$^{-9}$ to 10$^{-5}$ ohm$^{-1}$ cm$^{-1}$ within the semiconductor range. The Arrhenius plots of the electrical conductivities show a linearity and the activation energy for the conduction was about 1.7eV. The oxygen partial pressure dependence of the conductivity or 1/n value increases with the pressure. The nonstoichiometric conduction mechanism of the oxide was discussed in terms of the x values, ${\sigma}$ values, and the thermodynamic data.

A titanium oxide thin films were prepared by air oxidation and vapour oxidation and a $TiO_2$ single crystal was reduced by heating in an argon atmosphere. All the electrode characteristics of the Ti$O_{2-x}$, thin films are not different from those of slightly reduced single crystal rutile. In cyclic voltammogram of oxygen containing electrolyte solution at Ti$O_{2-x}$ electrodes, cathodic peaks were observed at between -0.8V and -1.0V vs. SCE. The cathodic current near 0V vs. SCE in saturated solution with nitrogen was observed to be greater than in saturated solution with air. The chronoamperogram was represented by the equation of i = $i_0e^{-kt}$, when the rate constant k was represented by the equation of k =$k_0{[H^+]}^nexp(A{\eta}+E_a/RT)$ The values of activation energy $E_a $were found to be 4.6~4.8kcal/mole in overpotential range of 0.035∼0.145 V and 1.6kcal/mole in overpotential range of 0.2∼0.5V. The values of n and A were found to be 0. 1 and 5.4~5.6/V in range of 0.035~0.145V, and in range of 0.2~0.5V, to be 0.04 and 1.3/V, respectively. This can be interpreted as an totally irreversible reduction of oxygen.

The current environmental problem is global, and threatens the very existence of human beings. Many factors have been argued as the causes of environmental problem. The examples include anthroponcentric human perspective on nature, increase in the knowledge on nature, development of technology, economic growth and unequal distribution, and population increase, etc. The scholars who argues population increase have focused on over-population. However, the estimation of optimum population size has not been attempted in terms of environmental carrying capacity. In such a context, this paper aims at estimating optimum population size in South Korea in terms of environmental carrying capacity. The estimation was done from two approaches. One was based on the state of environment, the other was based on 'the desirable state of environment' Koreans expect. The former is termed an objective approach, while the latter is termed an approach based on social consensus. About 47.5 millions were estimated from the former approach, and 48.5 millions from the latter approach. However, optimum population size increase by 50.5 millions if government increase environmental budget to 2.00% among total budget. As such, different optimum population size is estimated according to the values of variables. The most significant variable determining optimum population size is environmental budget, and followed by supply of clean energy. The estimated optimum population size was based on the time-series data from 1993 to 2002. Therefore, time-series data collected from other years will result in different estimation model, and then different optimum population size will be estimated.

Top synthetic spin valves with structure Ta/NiFe/CoFe/Cu/CoFe(P1)/Ru/CoFe(P2)/FeMn/Ta on Si(100) substrate with natural oxide were prepared by dc magnetron sputtering system, and investigated on the magnetoresistance properties and effective exchange bias field. As the thickness of FeMn increased above 150 $\AA$, MR ratio was decreased due to the current shunting effect. As the thickness of free layer decreased below 40$\AA$, MR ratio was reduced rapidly. In case of 40 $\AA$ thick of free layer, spin valve film with a structure Si(100)/Ta(50 $\AA$)/NiFe(27 $\AA$)/CoFe(13 $\AA$)/Cu(26 $\AA$)/CoFe(30 $\AA$)/Ru(7 $\AA$)/CoFe(15 $\AA$)/FeMn(100 $\AA$)/Ta(50 $\AA$) exhibited maximum MR ratio of 7.5 % and an effective exchange bias field of 600 Oe, respectively. Thickness difference dependence in this synthetic spin valve structure on effective exchange field was investigated and interpreted by the analytical method. It should be noted that thickness increase of CoFe(P 1) and decrease of CoFe(P2) in synthetic antiferromagnet leaded to the decrease in effective exchange bias field by experimentally and analytically.

비냉각 적외선 검출소자는 빛이 전혀 없는 환경에서도 사물을 감지하는 열상장비의 핵심소자이다. 마이크로볼로미터 적외선 검출기는 상온에서 동작하며, 온도안정화를 위해 TEC를 장착하여 진공패키지로 조립된다. 패키지는 진공을 유지할 수 있도록 일반적으로 메탈로 제작되며, 단가 감소 및 생산성 증대를 위해 wafer level packaging 방법을 이용한다. 마이크로볼로미터의 특성은 패키지의 진공 변화에 매우 민감하다. 센서의 감도를 증가시키기 위해서는 진공환경을 유지해야 한다. 볼로미터 소자의 특성은 상압에서 열전도는 기판과 멤브레인 사이의 에어갭을 통해 열손실을 야기하므로 센서의 반응도가 현저히 줄어든다. 에어갭이 1 um 정도 되더라도 그 사이에 존재하는 열전도가 가능하므로 진공을 유지하여 열고립 상태를 증대시킬 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 소자의 동작시 압력, 즉 진공도가 볼로미터 소자의 반응도 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 마이크로볼로미터 소자는 $2{\times}8$ 어레이 형태로 제작하였으며, metal pad를 각 단위셀에 배치하였으며, 공통전극으로 한 개의 metal pad를 넣어 설계하였다. 흡수체로써 VOx를 사용하였으며, 열 고립구조를 위해 2.5 um 공명 흡수층의 floating 구조로 멤브레인을 형성하였다. 진공패키지는 메탈패키지를 제작하여 볼로미터 칩을 TEC 위에 장착하였으며, 신호의 감지를 위해 가변저항을 매칭시켰다. 반응도는 신호 대 잡음 값을 획득하여 소자에 도달하는 적외선 에너지에 대해 반응하는 값을 계산에 의해 얻어내는 것이다. 픽셀 크기는 $50{\times}50$ um이며, 패키지 조립 공정 후 온도변화에 따른 저항 측정을 통해 TCR 값을 얻었다. 이때 TCR은 약 -2.5%/K으로 나타났다. $2{\times}8$의 4개 단위소자에 대해 측정한 값은 균일하게 TCR 값이 나타났다. 광반응 특성은 볼로미터 단위소자에 대해서 먼저 고진공(5e-6 torr) 하에서 측정하였으며, 반응도는 25,000 V/W의 값을 나타내었고, 탐지도는 약 2e+8 $cmHz_{1/2}$/W로 나타났다. 패키지의 압력 조절을 위해 TMP 및 로터리 펌프를 이용하여 100 torr에서 1e-4 torr의 범위에서 압력조절 밸브를 이용하여 질소가스의 압력으로 진공도를 변화시켰다. 적외선 반응신호는 압력이 증가함에 따라 감소하였으며, 2e-1 torr의 압력에서 신호의 크기가 감소하기 시작하여 5 torr에서 반응도의 1/2 값을 나타냄을 알 수 있었다. 30 torr 이상에서는 신호가 잡음값 과거의 동일하여 신호대 잡음비가 1로 나타남을 알 수 있었다. 또한 진공도 변화에 대해, 흑체온도에 따른 반응도 및 탐지도의 특성을 조사한 결과를 발표한다. 반응도의 증가를 위해 진공도는 진공도는 1e-2 torr 이하의 압력을 유지해야 함을 본 실험을 통해 알 수 있었다.

This paper is to reclassify systematically the functions of urban river: that is, water supply, land management, transportation and energy source as social and economic function; formation of geomorphic surface, water-side landscape, community constitution and boundary and separation between regions as spatial function; and drainage of waste water, purification, habitation, and weather regulation as ecological function. On the basis of this reclassification, it can be argued that the socio-economic functions (eg. water supply) of the river among the functions of the river have been strongly mobilized in the process of modernization, while the spatial function and ecological function of urban river have been ignored. The Kumho river which flows through Daegu and the adjacent area has made a great contribution to the modem development process of the river basin area, but as a result of a selective development of a specific function of the river, that is the social and economic function, it now suffers from the lack of instream flow and is deprived of its original functions with the water pollution and degradation. Moreover the Daegu region seems no longer possible to develop on the dependence of the river. In order to overcome this kind of social and environmental crisis, this paper is to suggest both some principles and main evaluating indicators to restore the original and comprehensive functions of the river, and important measures to make the co-evolution of the city and the river possible.

Studies on the changes in rheological properties, molecular weight distribution and dextran yield after being reacted in lO%(w/w) sucrose concentration were performed with crude dextransucrase produced from Leuconostoc mesenteroides isolated from Sikhae. The reaction rate of dextran formation was monitored by sugar analysis with HPLC and by the changes in apparent viscosity. According to the periodate oxidation test, the dextran produced in this experiment was estimated to have 89% $\alpha$-(1->6) main linkages and 11% $\alpha$-(1->) side linkages. The rheological properties of the dextran solution formed changed with reaction time, and it was related to the changes in molecular weight distribution of dextran as determined by GPC analysis. As the reaction proceeded, the rheological behavior changed from Newtonian to non-Newtonian, showing Binghampseudoplastic and thixothropic flow behavior. The apparent viscosity of dextran formed solution increased with increasing reaction time, reached a maximum value of 2680 cP ($\gamma$=$33.75s^{-1}$, $25^{\circ}C$) by enzyme reaction for 8 hours, and then decreased. The temperature dependency of dextran formed solutions was well expressed by the Arrhenius equation and the activation energy reached a maximum value of 1.69 kcal/mole by enzyme reaction for 8 hours.

The x values and electrical conductivity of the nonstoichiometric compound NbO$_x$ have been measured in a temperature range 700$^{\circ}C$ to 1100$^{\circ}C$ under oxygen partial pressure of 2 ${\times}$ 10$^{-1}$ ∼ 1 ${\times}$ 10$^{-5}$ atm. The NbO$_x$ is a stoichiometrical compound of Nb$_2$O$_5$ under oxygen partial pressure higher than 1.0 ${\times}$ 10$^{-2}$ atm at the above temperature range. The x values were found to vary between 2.48491 and 2.49900 in a temperature range 700$^{\circ}C$ to 1100$^{\circ}C$ under oxygen partial pressure lower than 1 ${\times}$ 10$^{-3}$ atm. The enthalpy of the formation for x' in NbO$_{2.50000-x'}$(${\Delta}H_f$) increased of 15.98 to 17.26 kcal/mol under the conditions. The electrical conductivity (${\sigma}$) of the oxide varied from 10$_4$ to 10$_1$ ohm$_1$cm$_1$ in the above conditions. The activation energy for the conduction was about 1.7 eV. The oxygen pressure dependency of the conductivity (or 1/n value) was about -1/4. The nonstoichiometric conduction mechanism of the oxide has been discussed with the x' values, the ${\sigma}$ values, and the thermodynamic data.

Canopy structure conductances of a Norway spruce forest in the Solling Hills(Central Germany) and Central Forest Biosphere Reserve(320km to the north-west from Moscow) were derived from LE(latent heat flux) and H(sensible heat flux) fluxes measured(by Eddy correlation technique and energy balance method) and modelled(by one dimensional non-steady-state) SVAT(soil-vegetation-atmosphere-transfer) model(SLODSVAT) using a rearranged Penman-Monteith equation("Big-leaf" approximation) during June 1996. They were compared with canopy stomatal conductances estimated by consecutive intergrating the stomatal conductance of individual needles over the whole canopy("bottom-up" approach) using SLODSVAT model. The result indicate a significant difference between the canopy surface conductances derived from measured and modelled fluxes("top-down" approach) and the stomatal conductances modelled by the SLODSVAT("bottom-up" approach). This difference was influenced by some nonphysiological factors within the forest canopy(e.g. aerodynamic and boundary layer resistances, radiation budget, evapotranspiration from the forest understorey). In general, canopy surface conductances derived from measured and modelled fluxes exceeded canopy stomatal conductance during the whole modelled period, The contribution of the understorey's evapotranspiration to the total forest evapotranspiration was small (up to 5-9% of the total LE flux) and was not depended on total radiation balance of forest canopy. Ignoring contribution of the understorey's evapotranspiration resulted in an overestimation of the canopy surface conductance for a spruce forest up to 2mm/s(about 10-15%).
