  • Seasonal changes of pigment compositionin two intertidal red algae, Gloiopeltis furcata (Postels et Ruprecht) J. Agardh, and Porphyra yezoensis Ueda, were investigated. Chlorophyll α and phycoerythrin levels were high during winter, but decreased in late spring or summer, with accompanying discoloration from deep red to green or yellow. This discoloation corresponded closely to the fluctuationof phycoerythrin content. Nevertheless, photosynthesis capacity was maintained by the increasing water temperature in the field, suggesting that large amounts of phycoerythrin are not necessary for photosynthesis. Phycoerythrin conten correlated significantly with nitrogen content in both species when the nitrogen level was greater than the level of critical content (1.30% DW in G. furcata, and 2.26% DW in P. yezoensis), indicating that phycoerythrin plays a more important role in the nitrogen status as a nitrogen pool than that of nitrogen critical content. Furthermore, the dependence level of the alage on phycoerythrin as a nitrogen pool was greater in P. yezoensis than in G. furcata because of the remarkable increase of phycoerythrin content in P. yezoensis with increasing jnitrogen content.

  • The problem of an orthotropic material with a central crack is studied. The material is subjected to uniform biaxial loading along its boundary. The normal stress ratio theory is applied to predict fracture strength behavior in cracked orthotropic material. The dependence of the critical stress with respect to the biaxial loading and the crack orientation is discussed. Our analysis shows significant effects of biaxial loading on the critical stress. The additional tenn in the asymptotic expansion of the crack tip stress field appears to provide more accurate critical stress prediction.

  • To investigate dependence of the sensitivity of THz metamaterials on the position of target dielectric materials, we functionalized the metamaterial gap with an adhesive polymer. A shift in resonance frequency occurs when polystyrene microbeads are deposited in the gap of the metamaterial's metal resonator pattern, while little change is observed when they are deposited on other areas of the metasurface. A two-dimensional mapping of the sensitivity, with a grid size of 1 ㎛, is obtained from a finite-difference time-domain simulation: The frequency shift is displayed as a function of the position of a target dielectric cube. The resulting sensitivity distribution clearly reveals the crucial role of the gap in sensing with metamaterials, which is consistent with the electric field distribution near the gap.

  • Many of the adaptive noise control systems utilize a form of the least mean square (LMS) algorithms. In the active control of noise, it is common practice to locate an error microphone far from the control source to avoid the near-field effects by evanescent waves. Such a distance between the control source and the error microphone makes a certain level of time-delay inevitable and, hence, may yield undesirable effects on the convergence properties of control algorithms such as filtered-x LMS. This paper discusses the dependence of the convergence rate on the acoustic error path in these popularalgorithms and introduces new algorithms which increase the convergence region regardless of the time-delay in the acoustic error path. Performances of the new LMS algorithms are presented in comparison with those by the conventional algorithms based on computer simulations and experiments.

  • The Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) camera combined with a small aperture telescope is an efficient equipment for an astronomy-related lab exercise. This paper compares the different photometry softwares to provide insights on using the GUI-based photometry tool to the conventional command-line based photometry tool. The magnitude of the same point source measured within the aperture is consistent regardless of the software used although the background estimation, partial pixel treatment, and error estimation are slightly different. In a crowded field image where the aperture photometry is less reliable, the aperture photometry with varying aperture size is useful to see the qualitative trend for the magnitude. Due to the variation in ISO settings and the color dependence on the RGB Bayer system, an initial uncertainty of ~0.15mag is expected to be embedded in the magnitude derived from the DSLR images.

  • Single Josephson junctions, which are of cross type, of $50 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ {\times} 50 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$$ were fabricated under several oxidation conditions to Investigate controllabilities of critical current density (Jc) with the standard KRISS processes. Considering that the self-field effect suppresses the observed critical current (Ice) at high Jc region, we could reasonably estimate Jc values from I-V observations. The dependence of the obtained Jc as a function of exposure, which is equal to pressure (P) times time (t), was well fitted to a curve of Jc ~ (Pt)-0.34. The maximum Jc value at the controllability margin was found to be 3 kA/cm$^2$with the current equipment set up.

  • Penetration depth of Nb electrodes in $Nb/A1O_x/Nb$ Josephson junctions has been measured by resistive method. For a given applied field, the total flux through the junction is temperature dependent because the penetration depth of Nb electrode varies with temperature. If the total flux equals an integral multiple of the flux quantum at certain temperatures, resistive peaks appear at those temperatures. The penetration depth of Nb can be determined by applying the above condition, The temperature dependence of penetration depth was found to be well described by the two-fluid model.

  • The understanding of the strain dependence of critical current, $I_c$, in the reversible region is important for the evaluation of the performance of coated conductor (CC) tapes in practical applications. In this study, the stress/strain tolerance of $I_c$ in GdBCO CC tapes with stainless steel substrate stabilized by additional Cu and brass laminate was analyzed quantitatively through $I_c$-strain measurement at 77 K under self-field. The variation in irreversible strain limits of CC tapes by the addition of stabilizing layers was analyzed through the consideration of the pre-strain induced on the GdBCO coating film. The results were then compared with the ones previously reported for GdBCO CC tapes with Hastelloy substrate. As a result, GdBCO CC tapes with stainless steel substrate showed much higher strain tolerance of $I_c$ as compared with those adopting Hastelloy substrate.
