The aim of this study is to suggest an optimal survey method for coastal habitat monitoring around Weno Island in Chuuk Atoll, Federated States of Micronesia (FSM). This study was carried out to compare and analyze differences between in situ survey (PHOTS) and high spatial satellite imagery (Worldview-2) with regard to the coastal habitat distribution patterns of Weno Island. The in situ field data showed the following coverage of habitat types: sand 42.4%, seagrass 26.1%, algae 14.9%, rubble 8.9%, hard coral 3.5%, soft coral 2.6%, dead coral 1.5%, others 0.1%. The satellite imagery showed the following coverage of habitat types: sand 26.5%, seagrass 23.3%, sand + seagrass 12.3%, coral 18.1%, rubble 19.0%, rock 0.8% (Accuracy 65.2%). According to the visual interpretation of the habitat map by in situ survey, seagrass, sand, coral and rubble distribution were misaligned compared with the satellite imagery. While, the satellite imagery appear to be a plausible results to identify habitat types, it could not classify habitat types under one pixel in images, which in turn overestimated coral and rubble coverage, underestimated algae and sand. The differences appear to arise primarily because of habitat classification scheme, sampling scale and remote sensing reflectance. The implication of these results is that satellite imagery analysis needs to incorporate in situ survey data to accurately identify habitat. We suggest that satellite imagery must correspond with in situ survey in habitat classification and sampling scale. Subsequently habitat sub-segmentation based on the in situ survey data should be applied to satellite imagery.

Inherent crystalline domains present in low formaldehyde to urea (F/U) molar ratio urea-formaldehyde (UF) resins are responsible for their poor adhesion in wood-based composite panels. To modify the crystallinity of low molar ratio (LMR) UF resins, this study investigates the additional effect of cellulose nanomaterials (CNMs), such as cellulose microfibrils (CMFs), cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs), and TEMPO-oxidized CNFs (TEMPO-CNFs) on the crystallinity of modified LMR UF resins. First, two modification methods (post-mixing and in situ) were compared for modified LMR UF resins with TEMPO-CNFs. The modified UF resins with TEMPO-CNFs decreased the nonvolatile solid contents, while increasing the viscosity and gel time. However, the in situ modification of UF resins with TEMPO-CNFs showed lower crystallinity than that of post-mixing. Then, the in situ method was compared for all CNMs to modify LMR UF resins. The modified UF resins with CMFs using the in situ method increased nonvolatile solid contents and viscosity but decreased the gel time. The crystallinity of UF resins modified with TEMPO-CNFs was the lowest even though the crystalline domains were not significantly changed for all modified UF resins. These results suggest that these CNMs should be modified to prevent the formation of crystalline domains in LMR UF resins.

In-situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) holders that employ a chip-type specimen stage have been widely utilized in recent years. The specimen on the microelectromechanical system (MEMS)-based chip is commonly prepared by focused ion beam (FIB) milling and ex-situ lift-out (EXLO). However, the FIB-milled thin-foil specimens are inevitably contaminated with Ga⁺ ions. When these specimens are heated for real time observation, the Ga⁺ ions influence the reaction or aggregate in the protection layer. An effective method of removing the Ga residue by Ar⁺ ion milling within FIB system was explored in this study. However, the Ga residue remained in the thin-foil specimen that was extracted by EXLO from the trench after the conduct of Ar⁺ ion milling. To address this drawback, the thin-foil specimen was attached to an FIB lift-out grid, subjected to Ar⁺ ion milling, and subsequently transferred to an MEMS-based chip by EXLO. The removal of the Ga residue was confirmed by energy dispersive spectroscopy.

In this study, in-situ performance test of a wet surface finned-tube evaporator of an air source heat pump which has a rating capacity of 20RT is carried out. Since test conditions, such as indoor and outdoor air conditions cannot be controlled to satisfy the standard test conditions, experiments are done with the inlet air conditions as they exist, From the experimental data, air side heat and mass transfer coefficients were calculated by the well known heat and mass transfer analogy and tube-by-tube method. since current procedure underpredicted the experimental sensible heat factor(SHF), a proper empirical parameter was introduced to predict the experimental data with satisfactory results. This study provides the method of evaluating the heat and mass transfer coefficients of a wet surface finned-tube evaporator of which in-situ performance test in necessary.

This paper describes the mechanical properties of poly (Polycrystalline) 3C-SiC thin films with $N_2$ in-situ doping. In this work, the poly 3C-SiC film was deposited by APCVD (Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition) method using single-precursor HMDS (Hexamethyildisilane: $Si_2(CH_3)_6)$ at $1200^{\circ}C$. The mechanical properties of doped poly 3C-SiC thin films were measured by nono-indentation according to the various $N_2$ flow rate. In the case of 0 sccm $N_2$ flow rate, Young's Modulus and hardness were obtained as 285 GPa and 35 GPa, respectively. Young's Modulus and hardness were decreased according to increase of $N_2$ flow rate. The crystallinity and surface roughness was also measured by XRD (X-Ray Diffraction) and AFM (Atomic Force Microscopy), respectively.

The Saphenous vein is still the graft of choice for bypass of small calibered peripheral arteries, and many recent studies revealed that the "In Situ" technique had higher rate of long term patency than the conventional "reversed" one. A 71-year-old male who had atherosclerotic obstruction in the superficial femoral and popliteal trifurcation underwent In Situ saphenous vein arterial bypass. The saphenous vein is exposed by a long medial skin incision over the course of the vein. All branches of vein are ligated. A olive-tipped metal needle is introduced into the vein from above and everts the valves. The patient has been followed for 2 months after operation. The graft remained pulsatile and the gangrenous areas on the toe proceeded to heal. We think In situ vein bypass offers an excellent and safe method of revascularization of the arterial occlusion below the knee although it is technically demanding and the time consuming. time consuming.

To manufacture Al MMCs, in-situ melt mixing process is used because it is free from contamination, and it makes reinforcements homogeneously dispersed. Large eddy simulation method is used to find the optimum melt mixing condition. At the Re 3000, the most suitable mixing is occurred between Al-Ti and Al- B melts. The in-situ formed $TiB_2$ particles has the size varying from 40 nm to 130 nm, due to the increase of cooling rate, and exhibits a homogeneous dispersion. And the interface between reinforcement and matrix is clean. Both hardness and Young's modulus of this composite are improved with increasing the cooling rate.

The present study is the first report of utilizing $TiO_2$ photocatalyst to analytically calibrate the hydroperoxyl radical ($HO_2\;^{\cdot}$). An in-situ calibration method of $HO_2\;^{\cdot}$ is proposed for air monitoring by using an 2-methyl-6-(pmethoxyphenyl)- 3,7-dihydroimidazo-[1,2-a]pyrazin-3-one (MCLA)-chemiluminescence (CL) technique. In this method, $HO_2\;^{\cdot}$($pK_a$ = 4.80) is produced by the ultraviolet (UV) photolysis of immobilized $TiO_2$ using a constant flow rate of air equilibrated water, in which $HO_2\;^{\cdot}$ is controlled by using various lengths of knotted tubing reactor (KTR). The principle of the proposed calibration is based on the experimentally determined halflife ($t_{1/2}$) of $HO_2\;^{\cdot}$ and its empirically observed pH-dependent rate constant, $k_{obs}$, at a given pH. The concentration of $HO_2\;^{\cdot}$/$O_2\;^{\cdot}$− is increased as pH increases. This pH dependence is due to the different disproportionative reactivities between $HO_2\;^{\cdot}$/$O_2\;^{\cdot}$− and $HO_2\;^{\cdot}$/$O_2\;^{\cdot}$−. Experimental results indicate the practical feasibility of the approach, producing very promising method.
