Properly designed plastic packages of fresh produce can preserve the quality by maintaining the optimal modified atmosphere (MA) at optimal low temperature conditions, but cannot do so at temperature abuse conditions in retail stage due to occurrence of injurious package atmosphere coming from imbalance between respiration and package gas permeation. Master packaging system consisting of a double-layered secondary package wrapping several individual (primary) packages has been proposed and applied recently to the commodities of sweet persimmon, king oyster mushroom, chestnut and strawberry. The master (secondary) pack is designed to be stored and distributed under chilled temperature, and then dismantled when moved to the retail display from the presale chilled storage. The master packaging system taking into consideration temperature dependence of produce respiration and package gas transfer was looked into with examination of its design variables to maintain the beneficial MA. Mathematical model was provided to help the design of master packaging system creating the desired MA. Its benefits of quality preservation and its limitations in practices of fresh produce marketing were discussed. Further research direction to extend the applicability of the produce master packaging system was presented.

The IR signature data of a ship is mainly affected by location, meteorological conditions(atmosphere temperature, wind direction and velocity, humidity etc.), atmospheric transmittance, solar position and ship surface temperature etc. The IR signatures received by a remote sensor at a given temperature and wavelength region is consisted of the self-emitted component directly from the object surface, the reflected component of the solar irradiation at the object surface, and the scattered component by the atmosphere without ever reaching the object surface. Computer simulations for prediction of the IR signatures of ships are very useful to examine the effects of various sensor positions. In this paper, we have acquired the IR signature for different sensor positions by using computer program for prediction of the IR signatures. The numerical results show that the IR signature contrast as compared to the background sea considering the meteorological conditions, solar and sky irradiations.

The effects of $CO_2$ ppm in atmosphere on the values of the total emissivity are studied. The predictions by several methods are compared. The predicted value differences between modified Kondratyev model and Hottel model are the smallest with in the range of values tested. The $CO_2$ ppm is varied from 300 ppm to 600 ppm. By Wide Band model, the total emissivity increases with increasing density-path length product rather linearly up to 0.1 g/$cm^2$. For given $CO_2$ ppm, the total emissivity increases as the air thickness increases. The same is true for both temperature and pressure increase. The temperature range tested is 220 to 300 K. Around 260K, the total emissivity is less sensitive with increasing temperature than with decreasing temperature. The pressure is varied from 0.94 to 1.06 atm. The percentage change of total emissivity with pressure change from 1atm is at most the percentage change of the pressure.

The effect of coupled data assimilation (DA) on the meteorological prediction in the west coastal region of Korea was evaluated using a coupled atmosphere-ocean model (e.g., COAWST) in the spring (March 17-26) of 2019. We performed two sets of simulation experiments: (1) with the coupled DA (i.e., COAWST_DA) and (2) without the coupled DA (i.e., COAWST_BASE). Overall, compared with the COAWST_BASE simulation, the COAWST_DA simulation showed good agreement in the spatial and temporal variations of meteorological variables (sea surface temperature, air temperature, wind speed, and relative humidity) with those of the observations. In particular, the effect of the coupled DA on wind speed was greatly improved. This might be primarily due to the prediction improvement of the sea surface temperature resulting from the coupled DA in the study area. In addition, the improvement of meteorological prediction in COAWST_DA simulation was also confirmed by the comparative analysis between SST and other meteorological variables (sea surface wind speed and pressure variation).

We have fabricated thin films using the DC/RF magnetron sputtering of 74wt%Ni-l8wt%Cr-4wt%Al-4wt%Cu alloy target and studied the effect of the process parameters on the electrical properties for low TCR(Temperature Coefficient of Resistance) films. In sputtering process, pressure, power and substrate temperature, are varied as controllable parameter. The films are annealed to 400$^{\circ}C$ in air and nitrogen atmosphere. The sheet resistance, TCR of the films increases with increasing annealing temperature. It abruptly increased as annealing temperature increased over 300$^{\circ}C$ in air atmosphere. From XRD, it is found that these results are due to the existence of NiO on film surface formed by annealing. As a results of them, TCR can be controlled by variation of sputter process parameter and annealing of thin film.

(Ba, Sr) TiO$_3$(BST) thin films were prepared on RuO$_2$/Si substrates by rf magnetron sputtering and annealing was followed at temperatures ranging from 550 to 80$0^{\circ}C$ in $N_2$or $O_2$atmosphere. The effects of annealing conditions on the properties of BST film deposited on RuO$_2$bottom electrodes were investigated. It was found that the crystallinity. surface roughness, and grain size of BST films vary with the annealing temperature but they are not dependent upon the annealing atmosphere. The flat region in the current-voltage (I-V) curves of BST capacitors shortened with increasing annealing temperature under both atmospheres. This is believed to be due to the lowering of potential barrier caused by unstable interface and the increase of charge The shortening of the flat region by $O_2$annealing was more severe than that by $N_2$-annealing. As a result, there was no flat region when the films were annealed at 700 and 80$0^{\circ}C$ in $O_2$atmosphere. The dielectric properties of BST films were improved by annealing in either atmosphere. however, a degradation with frequency was observed when the films were annealed at relatively high temperature under $O_2$atmosphere.

The effects of sintering atmospheres(air, O2, N2) on the sintering and microwave dielectric properties of (1-x)CaTiO3-xLaAlO3 system was investigated. The sintered density of (1-x)CaTiO3-xLaAlO3 under air atmosphere increased linearly with increasing x, but it decreased in the range of x>0.5 under O2 atmosphere and x>0.6 under N2 atmosphere in spite of the increament of the smaller La(1.06$\AA$) and Al(0.5 $\AA$) ion than Ca(0.99$\AA$) and Ti(0.6$\AA$). In case of the air sintering atmosphere of (1-x)CaTiO3-xLaAlO3 the two phases of orthorhombic and rhombohedral crystal system were coexisting, and the XRD peak of rhombohedral crystalsystem was to be higher with increasing x. However, the sintering atmosphere of O2 and N2 made the monophasic crystal system of orthorhombic keep up by x=0.5 and x=0.6, respectively, and it transformed to pseudo-cubic crystal system in x>0.5 and x>0.6. The XRD peak intensity of (1-x)CaTiO3-xLaAlO3 was to be gradually higher with increasing x under the air atmosphere of sintering. Whereas, its XRD peak intensity increased till x=0.6 but decreased with increasing x in the range of x>0.6 under O2 and N2 atmosphere. The relative dielectric constant of (1-x)CaTiO3-xLaAlO3 sintered under air atmosphere decreased linearly and the Q.f0 value increased according as x increased. On the other hand, the relative dielectric constant of (1-x)CaTiO3-xLaAlO3 under O2 and N2 atmosphere decreased in the range of x$\leq$0.5 with increasing x, but increased rapidly in the range of x$\geq$0.6. And the Q.f0 value increased till x=0.6 but decreased in the range of x>0.6 with increasing x. The temperature coefficient of resonant frequency had no relation to sintering atmosphere.

In the coastal region air flow changes due to the abrupt change of surface temperature between land and sea. So a numerical simulation for atmospheric flow fields must be considered the correct fields of sea surface temperature(SST). In this study, we used variables such as latent heat flux, sensible heat flux, short and long wave radiation of ocean and atmosphere which exchanged across the sea surface between atmosphere and ocean model. We found that this consideration simulated the more precise SST fields by comparing with those of the observated results. Simulated horizontal SST differences in season were 2.5~4$^{\circ}C$. Therefore we simulated the more precise atmospheric flow fields and the movement and dispersion of the pollutants with the Lagrangian particle dispersion model. In the daytime dispersion pattern of the pollutants emitted from ship sources moved toward inland, in the night time moved toward sea by land/sea breeze criculation. But air pollutants dispersion can be affected by inland topography, especially Yangsan and coastal area because of nocturnal wind speed decrease.

Experimental samples were produced with mullite and cordierite powders with SiC. Effects of temperature, atmosphere and additive on the composite properties were investigated by XRD, STA and PSA methods. Results show that samples containing calcinate cordierite and calcinate mullite with SiC baked in air atmosphere have not suitable properties at the temperature range of $1380-1450^{\circ}C$ due to SiC intensive oxidation, while argon atmosphere decrease SiC oxidation. Using $Bi_2O_3$ as the additive, cordierite phase formation and prevention from SiC oxidation at low temperatures were achieved, leading to the improvement of physical and mechanical properties

0.75BF-0.25BT ceramics were prepared by sintering at $980-1040^{\circ}C$ in air or under atmosphere powder. A sample with 1 mole %-excess $Bi_2O_3$ was also prepared to compensate for $Bi_2O_3$-evaporation. Physical and piezoelectric properties of these three samples were compared. When the sintering temperature increased from $980^{\circ}C$ to $1040^{\circ}C$, the density of the sample sintered in air decreased continuously due to Bi-evaporation. Due to the suppression of Bi-evaporation, the sample sintered under atmosphere powder had a higher density at sintering temperatures above $1000^{\circ}C$ than did the sample sintered in air. The addition of 1 mole %-excess $Bi_2O_3$ successfully compensated for Bi-evaporation and kept the density at the higher value until $1020^{\circ}C$. Grain size increased continuously when the sintering temperature increased from 980 to $1040^{\circ}C$, irrespective of the sintering atmosphere. When the sintering temperature increased, the piezoelectric constant ($d_{33}$) and the electromechanical coupling factor ($k_p$) increased for all samples. The sample with 1 mole % excess-$Bi_2O_3$ showed the highest density and the best piezoelectric properties at sintering temperature of $1020^{\circ}C$.
