Ni-C composite films were prepared by co-deposition using a combined technique of plasma CVD and ion beam sputtering deposition. Depending on the deposition conditions, Ni-C thin films manifested three kinds of microstructure: (1) nanocrystallites of non-equilibrium carbide of nickel, (2) amorphous Ni-C film, and (3) granular Ni-C film. The electrical resistivity was also found to vary from about $10^2{\mu}{\Omega}cm$ for the carbide films to about $10^4{\mu}{\Omega}cm$ for the amorphous Ni-C films. The Ni-C films deposited at ambient temperatures showed very low TCR values compared with that of metallic nickel film, and all the films showed ohmic characterization, even those in the amorphous state with very high resistivity. The TCR value decreased slightly with increasing of the flow rate of $CH_4$. For the films deposited at $200^{\circ}C$, TCR decreased with increasing $CH_4$ flow rate; especially, it changed sign from positive to negative at a $CH_4$ flow rate of 0.35 sccm. By increasing the $CH_4$ flow rate, the amorphous component in the film increased; thus, the portion of $Ni_3C$ grains separated from each other became larger, and the contribution to electrical conductivity due to thermally activated tunneling became dominant. This also accounts for the sign change of TCR when the filme was deposited at higher flow rate of $CH_4$. The microstructures of the Ni-C films deposited in these ways range from amorphous Ni-C alloy to granular structures with $Ni_3C$ nanocrystallites. These films are characterized by high resistivity and low TCR values; the electrical properties can be adjusted over a wide range by controlling the microstructures and compositions of the films.

In order to understand the co-culture impact of the sea squirt Halocynthia roretzi on the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas, we examined the filtration rate of the sea squirt in relation of water temperature ($5-25^{\circ}C$) and body weight. The filtration rate increased in relation to body weight and water temperature, indicating a clear positive correlation with the two variables. Due to the clear positive correlation between filtration rates at each temperature groups for acceptable collinearity, each constants at regression equation was further analyzed for a unified model of filtration rate. Therefore the filtration rate of H. roretzi was estimated as: Fr (L/h/animal)=$(0.1956+0.0182T){\times}DW^{0.7978EXP(-0.0273T)}$ for water temperature in the range of $5-25^{\circ}C$. The estimated filtration rates of H. roretzi were higher than those of C. gigas in the winter season (water temperatures below $16^{\circ}C$) in condition of equal body weight. Our results indicate that H. roretzi may have an advantage over C. gigas in food competition during the winter season when the two species are co-cultured.

Mineralization of organic N is an important factor in determining the appropriate rate of organic matter application to paddy fields. A kinetic analysis was conducted for nitrogen mineralization of rice, barley, Chinese milk Ovetch (Astragalus sinicus L.; MV) and narrow leaf vetch straw in paddy soil. Nitrogen immobilization occurred rapidly and its rate increased in straw with high C/N ratio. The amount of nitrogen mineralization was rapid in the first year of rice-vetch cropping system. The rate constant (K) depended on the C/N ratio of organic matter. Mineralization of straw increased at high temperature. The amount of available N increment resulted in fast mineralization of straw, especially in rice and barley straw. Chinese milk vetch had the greatest mineralization rate at all temperatures and fertilization levels followed by narrow-leaf vetch. However, rice and barley straws with high C/N ratio immobilized the soil N at the initial incubation duration. Chinese milk vetch or narrow leaf vetch was not effectively mineralized in mixed treatments with rice or barley straw. The mineralization rate of organic matter was mostly affected by the C/N ratio of straw and temperature of incubation. Organic matter with low C/N ratio should be recommended to avoid the immobilization of soil N and the increasing mineralization rate of straw.

본 논문은 BESS 기반 전력피크 대응 peak shaving 알고리즘에 대하여 설명한다. 전력망 응용에 적용되는 BESS는 다양한 C-rate (charge rate)을 갖으며, 이를 고려한 알고리즘 개발이 요구된다. 상대적으로 높은 C-rate을 갖는 BESS의 경우 단주기 응용으로 적용될 수 있으나, 보다 효과적인 활용방안은 두 가지의 이상의 목적을 위한 운용이 요구된다. 더욱이 전력피크 예측을 위한 정교한 부하예측 방법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 단주기 및 장주기 응용을 모두 고려하였을 때 요구되는 peak shaving 알고리즘 설계 및 Algebraic Prediction을 이용한 부하예측에 대하여 논하고자 한다.

The high temperature deformation behavior of spray-formed Al-19wt%Si-1.87wt%Mg-0.085wt.%Fe alloy was studied by torsion testing in the strain rate range of 0.001-1 sec-1 and in the temperature range of 300-500 $^{\circ}C$. The relationship between stress temperature and strain rate is expressed using the Power law. the behavior of dynamic recrystallization is showed in 300-35$0^{\circ}C$, 1-0.1sec-1 and the behavior of dynamic recovery is showed in 450-50$0^{\circ}C$, 0.01-0.001sec-1 The size of Si particles is mall when the temperature is low and the strain rate is high. The strain rate sensitivity(m) and the apparent activation energy(Q) indicate the dependence on strain rate and temperature for flow stress respectively. The hot ductility is high when m is high and Q is low. The maps of strain rate sensitivity and apparent activation energy suggest the optimum processing conditions.

The microstructure, V-I characteristics, and stability of ZnO-Pr$_{6}$O$_{11}$-CoO-Cr$_2$O$_3$-Y$_2$O$_3$based vairstors were investigated with cooling rate in the range of 2~8$^{\circ}C$/min. The cooling rate relatively weakly affected the microstructure, and the varistor voltage and the leakage current in the V-I chracteristics. But the nonlinear exponent relatively strongly affected by cooling rate. And the cooling rate also greatly affected the stability for DC stress. In gross, the varistors cooled with 4$^{\circ}C$/min exhibited the highest performance in the densification, nonlinearity, and stability. Especially, they exhibited a high stability, in which the variation rate of the varistor voltage and the nonlinear exponent is -1.44% and -4.85%, respectively, under more severe DC stress such as (0.80 V$_{1mA}$9$0^{\circ}C$/12 h)+(0.85 V$_{1mA}$115$^{\circ}C$/12 h)\`(0.90 V$_{1mA}$12$0^{\circ}C$/12 h)+(0.95 V$_{1mA}$1$25^{\circ}C$/12 h)+(0.95 V$_{1mA}$15$0^{\circ}C$/12 h). It should be emphasized that the stability of these varistors is much superior to that of others.s.of others.s.

An experimental study for manufacturing lightweight aggregates from sewage sludge ash of sewage treatment facilities was carned out in senses of sludge disposal and utilization. In case of SA alone, aggregates with S.G. 1.67 was obtained at sintering temperature of $1250^{\circ}C$, and heating rate affects little to volume expansion rate and volume expansion rate was decreased more or less by heating time. In case of adding 10 wt% of RFCC to SA, lightweight aggregates with S.G. 1.07 was obtained and volume expansion rate was increased by heating time. The optimum adding amounts of RFCC to manufacture lightweight aggregates was 10wt% and the condition that shows maximum volume expansion rate was $20^{\circ}C/min$ of heating rate, $1250^{\circ}C$ of sintering temperature and 50 mmutes of heating time. According to adding amounts of RFCC, Compressive strength of sample results in 30 wt% RFCC>SA>20 wt% RFCC>10 wt% RFCC.

In this study, Fe-Cu-C alloy is sintered by spark plasma sintering (SPS). The sintering conditions are 60 MPa pressure with heating rates of 30, 60 and $9^{\circ}C/min$ to determine the influence of heating rate on the mechanical and microstructure properties of the sintered alloys. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the sintered Fe-Cu-C alloy is investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The temperature of shrinkage displacement is changed at $450^{\circ}C$ with heating rates 30, 60, and $90^{\circ}C/min$. The temperature of the shrinkage displacement is finished at $650^{\circ}C$ when heating rate $30^{\circ}C/min$, at $700^{\circ}C$ when heating rate $60^{\circ}C/min$ and at $800^{\circ}C$ when heating rate $90^{\circ}C/min$. For the sintered alloy at heating rates of 30, 60, and $90^{\circ}C/min$, the apparent porosity is calculated to be 3.7%, 5.2%, and 7.7%, respectively. The hardness of the sintered alloys is investigated using Rockwell hardness measurements. The objective of this study is to investigate the densification behavior, porosity, and mechanical properties of the sintered Fe-Cu-C alloys depending on the heating rate.

The formability of magnesium alloy sheets at room temperature is generally low because of the inherently limited number of slip systems, but higher at temperatures over $150^{\circ}C$. Therefore, prior to the practical application of these materials, the forming limits should be evaluated as a function of the temperature and strain rate. This can be achieved experimentally by performing a series of tests or analytically by deriving the corresponding modeling approaches. However, before the formability analysis can be conducted, a model of flow stress, which includes the effects of strain, strain rate and temperature, should be carefully identified. In this paper, such procedure is carried out for Mg alloy AZ31 and the concept of flow stress surface is proposed. Experimental flow stresses at four temperature levels ($150^{\circ}C$, $200^{\circ}C$, $250^{\circ}C$, $300^{\circ}C$) each with the pre-assigned strain rate levels of $0.01s^{-1}$, $0.1s^{-1}$ and $1.0s^{-1}$ are collected in order to establish the relationships between these variables. The temperature-compensated strain rate parameter which combines, in a single variable, the effects of temperature and strain rate, is introduced to capture these relationships in a compact manner. This study shows that the proposed concept of flow stress surface is practically relevant for the evaluation of temperature and strain dependent formability.
