Metaloganic chemical vapor deposition, also known as metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy has become one of the main techniques for growing thin, high purity films for compound semiconductors such as GaAs, InP, and InGaAsP. In this study, the distribution of growth rate and composition of InGaAsP, InGaP, and InGaAs films are studied using computational method. The influences of process parameters such as pressure, temperature and precursors' partial pressure on the growth rate and composition distributions are analyzed. The film growth rate is increased in the upstream part according to the increase of temperature but not in the downstream part. The Ga composition in InGaAsP film shows an asymptotic behavior for temperature variation but As composition varies significantly within the temperature range considered in the present study. The overall film growth rates of InGaP, InGaAs and InGaAsP are decreased with increasing the Ga/In ratios of the source gases. Pressure variation does not seem to be a significant parameter to the film growth. Film growth characteristics of tertiary films such as InGaP and InGaAs show similar trends to the quaternary film, InGaAsP.

The primary aim of this study is to investigate the probabilistic characteristics of the fatigue parameters that describe the fatigue crack growth behavior in magnesium alloy. Statistical fatigue crack propagation experiments have been performed on rolled AZ31 magnesium alloy CT specimens with different specimen thickness, load ratio, and maximum load at ambient temperature in a laboratory. Using the statistical fatigue data obtained from these experiments, the goodness-of-fit of the probability distribution of the fatigue behavior parameters is evaluated in this study by performing statistical analyses. The crack growth rate coefficient is a fatigue parameter having a very large COV(Coefficient of Variation), but the variation of a crack growth rate exponent is not substantial. It is considered that a crack growth rate exponent can be a material constant. It is also found that the best fit probability distribution of the parameters such as the crack growth rate coefficient and crack growth rate exponent for a magnesium alloy is a three-parameter Weibull distribution, and two-parameter Weibull distribution is a good distribution only for the crack growth rate coefficient.

This study analyzed the effects of macroeconomic variables, including housing affordability, and bank loan-related variables on variation in housing prices using multiple regression models. As a result of the analysis, consumer price growth rate, the total currency growth rate, and the housing affordability growth rate had a significant positive effect on changes in housing prices. As a result of analyzing the period of rising and falling housing prices, consumer price growth rate and the total currency growth rate during the period of rising housing prices had a significant positive effect on housing prices. Unlike the period of rising housing prices, the growth rate of household loans was found to have a significant positive effect on changes in housing prices. On the other hand, unlike the period of rising housing prices, the growth rater of mortgage loans was found to have a significant negative effect on changes in housing prices. The growth rate of housing affordability index did not have a significant positive effect on changes in housing prices during a falling housing prices. The determinants of housing prices showed different patterns during the period of rising housing prices and falling housing prices.

The growth process of solid grains in a liquid matrix is usually explained in tem1S of Ostwald ripening. The variation of growth (dissolution) rate as a function of grain size during Ostwald ripening predicted that the dissolution rate becomes very large as grain size decreases but the growth rate of a large grain is rather limited. Therefore. a rather uniform size distribution of grain size is maintained once after the quasi-equilibrium state is reached. Quite frequently, however, the exaggerated grain growth (EGG) is observed to occur: only a limited number of grains grow exceptionally. From the observation that the EGG occurs only for the faceted grains with apparently straight solid-liquid interfaces, the EGG is suggested to be the consequence of growth process controlled by 2-dimensional nucleation. In this study, the result by computer calculation on the grain growth process controlled by various mechanisms will be given.

The population dynamics of Pandalus gracilis was investigated in the southeastern coastal area of Korea between May 1998 and April 2000. Of the 4,127 specimens, 57% were identified as females, 39% as males, and 4% as transitional hermaphrodites. The number of females was greater than that of males and transexuals. A significant correlation was observed between the number of transitional hermaphrodites and ambient seawater temperature. Growth parameters were estimated using the modified von Bertalanffy growth function model incorporating seasonal variation in growth using the program ELEFAN. Females grew faster and reached a larger size-at-age than males (K=0.65/y and $L_{\infty}$=17.86 mm carapace length [CL] for females; K=0.51/y and $L_{\infty}$=14.70 mm CL for males). Mean size and age (95% confidence limits) at sex transition, calculated from growth parameters, were 7.07 mm carapace length and 1.05 years, respectively. The reproductive strategies of pandalid shrimps are discussed in terms of the type of sex transition.

Variation of sintered density of BaTiO3 powder calcined at 120$0^{\circ}C$ and 135$0^{\circ}C$ was investigated with respect to the grain growth behavior. It was found that BaTiO3 powder, which was calcined at 120$0^{\circ}C$, showed abnormal grain growth behavior during sintering process. At initial stage of sintering process, the densification rate of specimen was accelerated with rapid grain growth caused by the abnormal grain growth. But with the increase of sintering time, abnormally grown grain met each other and the density of specimen decreased drastically due to coalescence of pores located in triple junction. On the contrary, BaTiO3 powder calcined at 135$0^{\circ}C$ showed normal grain growth behavior and gradually densified with the increase of sintering time.

A new multi-seeding process for the growth of YBa$_2$Cu$_3$Oxx single crystals was developed. This process introduces an additional heating step to peritectic temperature and a subsequent slow cooling step to the growth temperature following the point when the crystals contacted. The crystal growth was resumed thereafter. The results obtained with this new process were compared with those of the conventional growth process, in which materials were only kept at the growth temperature. It was observed that the liquid phase between crystals were almost completely eliminated, but that Y2ll grains were grown during this new process. There was no significant improvement in trapped magnetic field over the conventional process, which is believed to be due to the cracks generated during the oxygen heat treatment or to the growth of YBa$_2$Cu$_3$Ox grains.

LID facilities do not consider environmental factors, and due to inappropriate vegetation planting causing degradation in efficiency due to plant damage and difficulty in maintenance. Therefore, in this study, assessment of impact environmental factor by seasonal variation of chlorophyll and growth of vegetation planted in LID technologies and change of pollutant reduction were conducted. In the case of B-SJ and B-RI, growth rate decreased after summer (August), and B-MG showed steady growth until autumn (September). Chlorophyll was found to increase during spring season while it decreased during autumn season. The chlorophyll concentration was found to affect the plant growth pattern. TN reduction efficiency was highest with greater than 80% efficiency in summer, and it was analyzed that plants were identified as the main factor affecting the seasonal reduction efficiency of TN. Also, temperature and relative humidity were analyzed to affect plant growth, activity and pollutant removal efficiency. Plant type and growth pattern are considered as factors to be considered in selection of appropriate plant types in LID technologies.

Homoharringtonine isolated from the plumyew tree (Cephalotaxus koreana) is currently considered as one of the most promising chemotherapeutic agents for anti-cancer. Variation of homoharringonine contents from eight natural populations of Korean native plumyew trees was determined by HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography), and compared with the variation among populations, the variation of the different parts(needle, root, stem and seed), and the variation according to their ages and growth features. Homoharringonine contents among populations were significantly different with Mt. South Dukyu ($1,048{\mu}g/g$) having the highest and Mt. Obong having the lowest. The analyses of plant pans showed that the homoharringtonine contents were highest in plant needles ($874{\mu}g/g$), and followed by roots, stems and seeds. Homoharringtonine contents of the plumyew trees decreased about 30% in increment with their ages and growth.

The purposes of this study were to provide the fundamental data on elementary school girls' somatotype for their clothing construction by contemplating the stage of physical growth dividing into the period of school age and characterizing the variation of body type according to the school age. The results are as follows : 1. Form the results of one-way variables analysis and multiple comparson test(Duncan's test) classification of the period school age can be divided into 'early grade(1 2 grade)' ' middle grade(3 4 grade)' and 'later grade(5 6 grade)' 2. As the results of analyzing Mean Coefficient of Variation and Standard Deviation graph for direct and indirect measurments and index especially of the Coefficient Variation that explain individual difference of growth the items of height indicates individual difference related with height of lower body of early grade group the items of length individual difference related with length of upper body of later grade group and the items of circumference make little difference. The items of anagle makes pretty higher value that direct measurements and especially in lower angle of chest make a distinctive difference, This fact proves that children's somatotype change from the belly part extruded forwards of early and middle grade to the upper body part slanted slightly forward of later grade.
