Pb-Sn solder is rapidly being replaced by lead-free solder for board-level interconnection in microelectronic package assemblies due to the environmental protection requirement. There is a general lack of mechanical reliability information available on the lead-free solder. In this study, thermo-mechanical behaviors of wire-bond plastic ball grid array (WB-PBGA) package assemblies are characterized by high-sensitivity moire interferometry. Experiments are conducted for two types of WB-PBGA packages that have Pb-Sn solder and lead-free solder as joint interconnections. Using real-time moire setup, fringe patterns are recorded and analyzed for several temperatures. Bending deformations of the assemblies and average strains of the solder balls are investigated and compared for the two type of WB-PBGA package assemblies. Results show that shear strain in #3 solder ball located near the chip shadow boundary is dominant for the failure of the package with Pb-Sn solder, while normal strain in #7 most outer solder ball is dominant for that with lead-free solder. It is also shown that the package with lead-free solder has much larger bending deformation and 10% larger maximum effective strain than the package with Pb-Sn solder at same temperature level.

The Cretaceous Gajok gold-silver deposit within porphyry granite is located nearby the Cretaceous Pungam basin at the northeastern area in Republic of Korea. The Gajok gold-silver deposit is distinctively composed of a multiple-complex hydrothermal veins with comb, crustiform chalcedony quartz and vug textures, implying it was formed relatively shallower depth. The hypogene open-space filling veins could be divided into 5 paragenetic sequences, increasing tendency of Ag-rich electrum and Ag-phases with increasing paragenetic time. Electrum with high gold contents (${\sim}50$ atomic % Au) as well as sphalerite with high FeS contents (${\sim}6$ mole % FeS) are representative ore minerals in the middle stage. The late stage is characterized by silver-phase such like native silver and/or argentite, coexisting with Ag-rich electrum ($10{\sim}30$ atomic % Au) and Fe-poor sphalerite (< 1 mole % FeS). The ore-forming fluids evolution started at relatively high temperature and salinity (${\sim}360^{\circ}C$, ${\sim}7\;wt.%$ eq. NaCl) and were evolved by dilution and mixing mechanisms on the basis of fluid inclusion study. The gold-silver mineralization proceeded from ore-forming fluids containing greater amounts of less-evolved meteoric waters(${\delta}^{18}O$; $-0.6{\sim}-6.7\;%o$). These results imply that gold-silver mineralization of the Cretaceous Gaiok deposit formed at shallow-crustal level and could be categorized into low-sulfidation epithermal type, related to Cretaceous igneous activity.

In this study numerical computations were performed to predict reacting flow fields of gasification processes of pulverized subbituminous coal in a cylindrical coal gasifier. To check the size effects of particles on flow fields in the gasifier, simulations were performed for five cases with four sizes of particles such as 40 $\mu\textrm{m}$, 60 $\mu\textrm{m}$, 80 $\mu\textrm{m}$ and 100 $\mu\textrm{m}$. Each case has a unique size of particles with one more case that has evenly mixed four sizes of particles. Predictions showed that the gasification which uses coals of the mixed sizes reveals more preferable gas velocity and temperature distributions than that uses coals of a unique size. Predicted gas temperature at the exit of the gasifier ranged 1,400 to 1580$^{\circ}C$, 1,480 to 1,700$^{\circ}C$, 1,600 to 1740$^{\circ}C$, 1630 to 1790$^{\circ}C$ and 1500 to 1680$^{\circ}C$ for particle sizes of 40 $\mu\textrm{m}$, 60 $\mu\textrm{m}$, 80 $\mu\textrm{m}$, 100 $\mu\textrm{m}$ and the evenly mixed four sizes, respectively.

To obtain the basic information for weed management in polder land, a colligated assessment on weed distribution and it`s plant sociological indices on Gyewha polder land were arranged. At the situation of assessment, the Gyewha polder land was reclaimed with aim with paddy-rice production. As a result of reclamation, the salinity of most soil samples were below 0.3%, and acidity ranged from pH 5.5 to 6.5. Total weed species were counted as much as 17 species (3 gramineae, 7 cyperucese, and 8 broad-leaved species), and a most dominant species, Scirpus maritimus, were succeeded with Monochoria v., Eleocharis a., and Cyperus d., etc. by reclamation. Declining of soil salinity and soil pH, the number of weed species, individuals, biomass, species diversity, evenness, sociability index were increased, but the population particularity was weaken in tendencies. By developing of reclamation, the weed species which is summer annual broad leaf, wind and water disseminating, and tussock formed species are increased instead of salt-resistant, perennial cyperus, and rhizomatous extending species.

PET bottle is manufactured by blow molding the preform, which is molded by injection molding. The neck part of the preform of PET bottle for juice or grain-based beverage is crystallized before blowing to improve heat resistance at the entrance of the bottle. However, residual stress, developed during injection molding of preform, prevents the crystallization. In order to release the residual stress in the preform, the preform is annealed after the injection molding. If the residual stress is reduced by optimizing the injection molding conditions of preform the annealing time would be shortened. In this study, the optimum conditions for minimizing the residual stress and increasing dimensional accuracy of the injection molded preform are suggested through CAE analysis. In order to optimize the molding conditions, minimizing residual stress and shrinkage, computer simulations have been carried out with help of design of experiment scheduling. Injection temperature, initial packing pressure and filling time were selected for control parameters. Residual stress was affected by injection temperature and filling time. Shrinkage was affected by injection temperature. It was found that maximum residual stress, distribution of residual stress and shrinkage were decreased by 22%, 40% and 25%, respectively at an optimum molding condition compared with the results of previous molding condition.

Adsorption characteristics of carbol fuchsin (CF) dye by coal-based activated carbon (CAC) were investigated using pH, initial concentration, temperature and contact time as adsorption variables. CF dissociates in water to have a cation, NH₂⁺, which is bonded to the negatively charged surface of the activated carbon in the basic region by electrostatic attraction. Under the optimum condition of pH 11, 96.6% of the initial concentration was adsorbed. Isothermal adsorption behavior was analyzed using Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and Dubinin-Radushkevich models. Langmuir's equation was the best fit for the experimental results. Therefore, the adsorption mechanism was expected to be adsorbed as a monolayer on the surface of activated carbon with a uniform energy distribution. From the evaluated Langmuir's dimensionless separation coefficients (R_L = 0.503~0.672), it was found that CF can be effectively treated by activated carbon. The adsorption energies determined by Temkin and Dubinin-Radushkevich models were E = 15.31~7.12 J/mol and B = 0.223~0.365 kJ/mol, respectively. Therefore, the adsorption process was physical (E < 20 J/mol, B < 8 kJ/mol). The experimental result of adsorption kinetics fit better the pseudo second order model. In the adsorption reaction of CF dye to CAC, the negative free energy change increased as the temperature increased. It was found that the spontaneity also increased with increasing temperature. The positive enthalpy change (40.09 kJ/mol) indicated an endothermic reaction.

Vanadium dioxide shows a unique and interesting property of metal-insulator transition, which has attracted great attention from the viewpoints of fundamental materials science and industrial applications. In this study, the effect of Mg and W addition on the metal-insulator transition of VO₂ were investigated for the bulk materials that are prepared by spark plasma sintering. The X-ray diffraction analysis of the sintered specimens revealed that the lattice parameters barely change, and the secondary phases are present. The transition temperature of MIT appears in the range of 64.2-64.6℃, regardless of the impurity element and content. On the other hand, the addition of Mg and W alters the electrical conductivity, i.e., the electrical conductivity increases by a factor of up to 2.4 or decrease by a factor of up to 57.4 depending on the impurity type and its content. The thermal conductivity showed the values of 1.8~2.5 W/m·K below the transition temperature, and the values of 1.9~2.8 W/m·K above the transition temperature. These changes in electrical and thermal conductivities can be attributed to the combination of the change in charge carrier density, the impurities as scattering centers, and the change in microstructures.

Al$\^$3+/ substituted garnet Y$_3$Fe$\_$5-x/Al$\_$x/O$\_$12/ (x=0.0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0) was fabricated by sol-gel method. The crystallographic and magnetic properties of Y$_3$Fe$\_$5-x/Al$\_$x/O$\_$12/ have been studied with Mossbauer spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetry analysis (TGA), differential thermal analysis (DTA), and vibrating samples magnetometer (VSM). The crystal structure of Y$_3$Fe$\_$5/O$\_$12/ is found to be a cubic with the lattice constant a$\_$0/= 12.381$\pm$0.005 $\AA$. The lattice constants a$\_$0/ decreases linearly from 12.381 to 12.304 A as the Al concentration (x) increases from x=0.0 to 1.0. Mossbauer spectra of measured at Y$_3$Fe$\_$5-x/A1$\_$x/O$\_$12/ various absorber temperatures of 13 to 600 K. Mossbauer spectrum for x = 0.0 is consist of well resolved two sets of six line patterns. While with increasing Al concentration outer sextet patters, which is originating from octahedral sites, broadens widely. These phenomena are interpreted in terms of random probability distributions of Fe$\^$3+/ and Al$\^$3+/ in tetrahedral site.

Over the wide area, King Sejong Station and the nearby land are uncovered with snow and ice conditions. Therefore, the active layer on the permafrost has been formed to be much thicker than the other Antarctica region. Electrical resistivity survey of Wenner and dipole-dipole arrays was undertaken at a series of time in the freezing season at the King Sejong Station to delineate subsurface structure and to monitor active layer in permafrost terrain. Time-lapse resistivity structures are well in terms of the vegetation distribution, ground surface temperature, and snow depth. Horizontal high resistivity belt(>1826 Ωm) at very shallow depth is thickening with the lapse of time, probably caused by the freezing of the water in the pore spaces with decrease of ground temperature. Subsurface structures for the area of low snow-cover and vegetated zone area are comprised of 0~0.5 m deep high-resistive gravel-rich soil, 0.5~3 m deep low-resistive active layer, and the underlying permafrost. In contrast, the unvegetated area and high snow-buildup is characterized with high resistivities larger than approximately 2000 Ωm due to freezing of the soil throughout the year. Data interpretation and correlation schemes explored in this paper can be applied to confirm the active layer, which is expected to get thinner in additional survey during the thawing season.

The Neolithic pottery excavated from the Jungsandong site has been classified into four types of pottery (I: feldspar type, II: mica type, III: talc type and IV: asbestos type) according to their mineral composition. These four types of potteries generally appear to have undergone incomplete firing, while the level of oxidation in the type I pottery objects, which have a relatively higher clay content, was found to be particularly low. The type III objects, which have a high talc content, are judged to have been somewhat slow in removing carbon because they contain saponite belonging to the smectite group. Of the four types of pottery, type IV showed the highest redness and the most uniform characteristics, thus indicating a good level of oxidation. In particular, fixed carbide (C; 33.7 wt.%) with a thickness of about 1mm, and originating from organic substances, was detected inside the walls of the type I pottery, while the deep radial cracks in the outer surfaces of the pottery are thought to have been caused by repeated thermal shocks. Given that all of the pottery except for the type I artifacts are considered to be have been made for storage purposes, those containing talc and tremolite are easy to done liquid storing vessels based on an analysis of their material characteristics. As for the type II relics, which are composed of various minerals and exhibit poor physical properties, they seem to have been used for simple storage purposes. As domestic talc and asbestos mines were concentrated in the areas of Gyeonggi, Gangwon, Chungbuk, and Chungnam, it seems likely that talc and tremolite were produced as contiguous minerals. Considering the distance between the remains in Jungsandong and these mines and their geographical distribution, there is a possibility - albeit somewhat slight - that these mines were developed for the mining of various minerals. Although ultramafic rock masses - such as serpentine capable of generating talc and tremolite - have not been found in the Jungsandong area, limestone and biotite granite containing mica schist have been identified in the northwestern part of Yeongjong Island, indicating that small rock masses might have formed there in the past. Therefore, it is judged necessary to accumulate data on pottery containing talc and tremolite, other than the remains in Jungsandong, and to investigate the rocks and soils in the surrounding area with greater precision. The firing temperatures of the pottery found at the Jungsandong site were interpreted by analyzing the stability ranges of the mineral composition of each type. As a result, they have been estimated to range from 550 to $800^{\circ}C$ for the type I artifacts, and from 550 to $700^{\circ}C$ for the type I, II and IV artifacts. However, these temperatures are not the only factors to have affected their physical properties and firing temperature, and the types, particle sizes, and firing time of the clay should all be taken into consideration.
