To predict Daphnia secondary productivity along a trophic gradient indexed as total phosphorus (TP) concentration, we estimated energy transfer efficiencies from food quality for Daphnia such as eicosa-pentaenoic acid (EPA) or docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) content. Eleven flow-through Daphnia magna growth experiments were conducted with seston from 9 lakes, ponds and river waters. Primary productivities were estimated from food supply rates in the flow-through experiments, producing energy transfer efficiencies from seston to D. magna. We found DHA content was the best predictor of energy transfer efficiencies among the essential fatty acids. An asymptotic saturation model explained 79.6% of the variability In energy transfer efficiencies. Based on empirical data in this study and empirical models from literature, we predict that Daphnia productivity would peak in mesotrophic systems by decreasing food quality and Increasing food quantity along trophic gradient.

Compositional gradient CrNx coatings were fabricated using arc ion plating in Ar/$N_2$ gaseous mixture by gradually increasing $N_2$ flux rate from 0 to 120 SCCM. The effect of negative substrate bias on the film microstructure and mechanical properties were systematically investigated with XRD, GDOES, and SEM. The results show that substrate bias has an important influence on film growth and microstructure of gradient CrNx coatings. The coatings mainly crystallized in the mixture of hexagonal $Cr_{2}N$ and fcc CrN phases. By increasing substrate bias, film microstructure evolved from an apparent columnar structure to an equiaxed one. With increasing substrate bias, deposition rate first increased, and then decreased. The maximum of deposition rate was 15 nm/min obtained at a bias of -50V.

Generally, large amounts of DOP(Di-Octyl Phthalate) chemicals are used as plasticizers in PVC compound manufacturing processes. However, it is very important to collect DOP species immediately from a workplace in order to protect worker's heath and recover them. To accomplish these objectives, we need to understand the droplet formation and growth mechanisms of DOP species. In this study, two important parameters such as temperature gradient and residence time were considered to clarify these mechanisms. We found that residence time is very critical to determine the droplet size distribution of DOP, whereas temperature gradient in general operating conditions(less than $-6.8^{\circ}C/cm$) is negligible.

Hot-wall CVD법으로 SiC/C 경사기능재료를 증착시키는 공정을 열역학적으로 해석하였다. Si-C-H-Cl계에 대한 열역학적 계산을 통해 공정변수(증착온도, 반응기 압력 원료 기체의 C/[Si+C]비와 H/[Si+C]비)가 증착층의 조성과 증착 수율에 미치는 영향을 조사하였고, 이를 통해 SiC/C 경사기능재료 증착에 있어서의 CVD 상평형도와 최적 공정 조건의 범위를 예측할 수 있었다.

The structures and mechanical property of the unidirectionally solidified Al-Co eutectic alloy were investigated. Al-Co eutectic alloy was unidirectionally solidified with growth rates(R) between I cm/hr and 10 cm/hr in the induction furnace maintaining the thermal gradient (G) at solid-liquid interface, $32^{\circ}C$/cm. The eutectic microstructure was varied with the growth condition(G/R ratio). When the G/R ratio was larger than $8.5{\times}10^{3}^{\circ}C/cm^{2}/sec$, a lamellar structure was formed, But the G/R ratio was smaller than $8.5{\times}10^{3}^{\circ}C/cm^{2}/sec$, a colony structure was formed. It was found that the interlamellar spacing(${\lambda}$) was dependent on the growth rate(R) with the relationship, ${\lambda}^{2}{\cdot}R=constant$. The microhardness of this eutectic alloy increased with increase in the growth rate.

It is certain that urbanization has transformed the ecological consequences severely, but urban ecosystem is not fully understood yet. Urban growth is not like a static form and it spreads spatially and temporally. Therefore in studying urban ecosystem, it is important to relate the spatial pattern of urbanization to ecological processes. Using gradient analysis, we attempted to quantify the urbanization's spatial impacts in Daejeon-city and Cheonan-city, Chungcheong-province, Korea. Because of Multifunctional Administrative City Planning (MACP), a lot of development projects are planned in Chungcheong-province, Korea. It's important to study about original cities' patterns and impacts. These results can be adopted to future city planning. So several measures such as fragmentation, vegetation index, surface temperature, population density, and income rate were computed along a 75km long and 3km wide transect. The results showed that Daejeon-city has a wider urban center, lower vegetation indexes, and higher surface temperature than Cheonan-city. Therefore in the perspective of urban environments and sustainable urbanism, it seems that Cheonan-city is better than Daejeon-city. The changes along the transect have important ecological implications, and quantifying the urbanization gradient is an important step in understanding urban ecology.

자체 제작된 승화법에 의한 결정성장 장치를 이용하여, 6H-SiC 단결정을 성장하였다. Acheson 법으로 얻어진 6H 결정을 seed substrate로 사용하였으며, SiC source 로부터 분해된 승화 증기가 seed상에서 육성되도록 흑연 도가니내의 온도구배 및 성장온도와 압력을 유기적으로 조절하였다. 성장 전 graphite 도가니 구성부와 SiC 원료에 대한 purification을 행함으로써 성장결정 내부로의 불순물 혼입이 억제되도록 하엿다. 결정 성장시의 육성조건으로 도가니 바닥의 온도는 $2300~2400^{\circ}C$였으며, 성장로 내부의 분위기 압력은 200~400 torr에서 양질의 단결정을 얻을 수 있었다. 성장된 결정을 두께 1.5 mm의 wafer로 제작하여 XRD와 optical microscope로 관찰하였고, FT-IR spectrum으로 분석하였다.

Commercial semicontinuous cast ingots of aluminum alloys often exhibit large grains composed of parallel arrays of continuous lamellae. Each lamella consists of a central {111} coherent twin boundary and wavy solidification boundary. This microstructure is referred to as a twin columnar growth(TCG) structure. The factors influencing the formation of a TCG structure include a unidirectional thermal gradient and the critical range of the alloying element content. The higher the thermal gradient is, the shorter the twin plane spacings are. The composition profile for an untwinned dendrite shows maximums at the positions of the interdendritic channels and the minimum appears at the center of the dendrite. While for twinned dendrite, it has wavy apperance. This profile has two local minimums instead of one shown in the untwinned.
