Second harmonic generation using nonlinear ultrasonic waves have been shown to be an early indicator of possible fatigue damage in nuclear power plant components. This technique relies on measuring amplitudes, making it highly susceptible to variations in transducer coupling and instrumentation. This paper proposes an experimental procedure for in-situ surface wave nonlinear ultrasound measurements on specimen with permanently mounted transducers under high cycle fatigue loading without interrupting the experiment. It allows continuous monitoring and minimizes variation due to transducer coupling. Moreover, relations describing the effects of the measurement system nonlinearity including the effects of the material transfer function on the measured nonlinearity parameter are derived. An in-situ high cycle fatigue test was conducted using two 304 stainless steel specimens with two different excitation frequencies. A comprehensive analysis of the nonlinear sources, which result in variations in the measured nonlinearity parameters, was performed and the effects of the system nonlinearities are explained and identified. In both specimens, monotonic trend was observed in nonlinear parameter when the value of fundamental amplitude was not changing.

The present work has attempted to investigate the dependence of Cu infiltration kinetics on in-situ structure modification of W powder skeleton in W-Cu system. In-situ structure modification of W skeleton by addition of 0.3wt%Ni-P eutectic alloy was designed to proceed during heat-up of the W compact for Cu infiltration process. It was found that the Ni-P added W skeleton underwent remarkable stucture change only during heating-up. its structure was composed of large necks of W particles above 0.5 in the ratio of neck to particle size and smooth pore channels. The infiltration experiment showed that the infiltration kinetics for the W-Ni-P followed well the linear relationship of h vs. $t^{1/2}$ the rate constant K of which was in good agreement with the theoretical value. On the other hand, in case of the pure W skeleton a lower K value by 20% than the theoretical one was obatined. Such discrepancy is discussed in terms of skeleton structure induced infiltration mechanics.

Growing demands for comprehending complicated nano-scale phenomena in atomic resolution has attracted in-situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques for understanding their dynamics. However, simple to safe TEM sample preparation for in-situ observation has been limited. Here, we suggested the optical microscopy based micro-manipulating system for transferring TEM samples. By adopting our manipulator system, several types of samples from nano-wires to plate-like thin samples were transferred on micro-electro mechanical systems (MEMS) chip in a single step. Furthermore, the control of electrostatic force between the sample and the probe tip is found to be a key role in transferring process.

토양수분은 강우-유출, 에너지 수지, 증발 및 대기의 기후와 기상에 큰 영향을 미치고, 수문학적 거동에 중요한 역할을 한다. 미국의 NASA와 USDA는 전 지구 토양수분 관측을 위해 2002년부터 2005년까지 매년 Soil Moisture Experiment(SMEX)의 실험 실측, 항공기, 원격탐사를 이용한 토양수분 자료를 평가하여 지표와 대기의 수문학적 연구를 위해 기초가 되는 자료를 제공하고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 SMEX02에 따른 항공기 원격탐사를 이용한 토양수분 데이터와 In-situ를 이용한 토양수분 데이터와의 상관관계를 분석하고, 항공기를 이용한 데이터의 활용성에 대해서 분석하는 것이다. 미국의 Iowa 주 Walnut Creek 유역을 대상으로 항공기를 이용한 Polarimetric Scanning Radiometer(PSR)의 C-band와 In-situ에 의한 데이터의 시공간적 스케일을 조합하여 4개 지점(WC15, WC16, WC23, WC24)에서 관측된 10일간의 토양수분 자료를 비교, 분석하였다. PSR의 C-band와 4개의 지점에 대한 7개 깊이의 In-situ 토양수분 데이터와의 상관성을 분석한 결과, 2-10 cm 깊이에서 상호 상관성이 가장 유의함을 보여 주었다. Rank Sum test와 t-test의 결과, 유의수준 10%에 대해 4개 지점 모두 10 cm에서 평균이 같고, 7 cm와 10 cm에서 중앙값이 같았다. 또한 확률분포의 적합도 검정을 위해 PPCC test를 실시한 결과, PSR에 의한 토양수분 데이터는 대체적으로 정규분포, 대수분포, Gumbel 분포 모두 성립하였고, 대상 지역별 깊이에 따라 토양수분의 분포형은 10 cm 깊이에서 정규분포보다 대수정규분포와 Gumbel 분포가 더 유의하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 PSR 토양수분은 7 cm와 10 cm 깊이의 관측 토양수분 자료로 대체될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 향후 우리나라에서도 항공기 및 인공위성을 이용한 토양수분 자료를 활용하여 수문학적 연구에 기초가 되는 자료로서 활용이 가능하며, PSR의 C-band를 이용하여 토양수분 관측 시 약 7-10 cm에 대한 토양수분을 증명할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Newcastle disease (ND) is a highly contagious infection of poultry, Two pathology-based techniques, in situ RT-PCR and in situ hybridization (ISH) were applied to formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues from chickens naturally infected with velogenic ND virus (VNDV). Two pairs of primers and a probe for ISH and in situ RT-PCR, respectively, were selected from highly conserved region of matrix gene of NDV. The ISH experiment was carried out using MicroProbe$^{TM}$ capillary action system within 2 hours. In situ RT-PCR was performed using MicroProbe$^{TM}$ capillary action system and GeneAmp In Situ PCR system. With ISH and in situ RT-PCR, viral nucleic acid was detected in the central nervous system of chickens from infected with neurotropic velogenic Newcastle disease virus (NVNDV), whereas viral nucleic acid was detected in various organs or tissues of chickens from infected with viscerotropic velogenic Newcastle disease virus (VVNDV). In the NVND group, positive signals were characteristically defined in the cytoplasm of neuron, vascular endothelial cells, and perivascular mononuclear macrophages in the central nervous system. One of NVND group, chicken from one farm exhibited positive signals in the bronchial epithelium. The VVND group chickens showed positive reaction in the macrophages, vascular endothelium, and bronchiolar epithelium. Markedly, viral nucleic acid was detected in the macrophages of morphologically normal tissues which were peripheral or located in distant areas from lesions. The central nervous system of chickens infected with VVND virus had positive signals in the vascular endothelial cell, perivascular mononuclear macrophages and some neuron. The number and intensity of the positive cells by in situ RT-PCR were more and stronger, respectively, in comparison with those by ISH. Particularly, positive reaction was detected in macrophages infiltrating in cardiac muscle by in situ RT-PCR, but not obtained by ISH. Therefore, these results demonstrated that ISH is a rapid diagnostic method for detection of NDV and in situ RT-PCR can be used as an efficient method for detection of low viral load infection or subclinical viral infection of NDV.

Ex-situ reductive dechlorination of carbon tetrachloride (CT) by iron sulfide in a batch reactor was characterized in this study. Reactor scaled-up by 3.5 L was used to investigate the effect of reductant concentration on removal efficiency and process optimization for ex-situ degradation. The experiment was conducted by using both liquid-phase and gas-phase volume at pH 8.5 in anaerobic condition. For 1 mM of initial CT concentration, the removal of the target compound was 98.9% at 6.0 g/L iron sulfide. Process optimization for ex-situ treatment was performed by checking the effect of transition metal and mixing time on synthesizing iron sulfide solution, and by determining of the regeneration time. The effect of Co(II) as transition metal was shown that the reaction rate was slightly improved but the improvement was not that outstanding. The result of determination on the regeneration time indicated that regenerating reductant capacity after $1^{st}$ treatment of target compound was needed. Due to the high removal rates of CT, ex-situ reductive dechlorination in batch reactor can be used for basic treatment for the chlorinated compounds.

Previous experiment was performed under abiotic condition. Steady-state abiotic experiments in the sand-tank reactor with air flowing through the reactor headspace demonstrated that oxygen supply through the water table interface into the saturated zone was enhanced when an LNAPL (dodecane) pool was present at the water table. Biotic condition was considered in this study. Biotic experiments performed after inoculating the reactor with Pseudomonas putida mt-2, which does not grow on dodecane, indicated that the enhanced oxygen supply in the presence of the LNAPL pool also enhanced biodegradation of a solute (glucose) plume passing beneath the LNAPL pool at steady-state.

An experimental study was conducted on the optimal configuration and size of ADFL(Aerodynamic Focusing Lens) which used in modified ISPM(In-Situ Particle Monitoring). The particle counting efficiency has been known as a function of distance and size of ADFL, thus we varied these parameters to find out the optimum values. From a result of experiment, it was found that two lenses and 6mm space between them showed a maximum particle measuring efficiency. To apply this modified ISPM to semiconductor manufacturing field, we need more experiment about the pressure change, flow rate, and input particle size.
