Ti-Ni-Cu alloys are very attractive shape memory alloys for applications as actuators because of a large transformation elongation and a small transformation hysteresis. Rapidly solidified Ti-Ni alloy ribbons have been known to have the shape memory effect and superelasticity superior to the alloy ingots fabricated by conventional casting. In this study, solidification structures and shape memory characteristics of $Ti-Ni_{30}-Cu_{20}$ alloy ribbons prepared by melt spinning were investigated by means of DSC and XRD. Operating parameters to fabricate the amorphous ribbons were the wheel velocity of 55 m/s and the melt spinning temperature of $1500^{\circ}C$. The crystallization temperature was measured to be $440^{\circ}C$. The crystallized ribbons exhibited very fine microstructure after annealing at $440^{\circ}C$ for 10 minutes and $460^{\circ}C$ for 5 minutes and was deformed up to about 6.8% and 6.23% in ductile manner, respectively. Stress-strain curve of the ribbon exhibited a flat stress-plateau at 64 MPa and this is associated with the stress-induced a B2-B19 martensitic transformation. During cycle deformation with the applied stress of 220 MPa, transformation hysteresis and elongation associated with the B2-B19 transformation were observed to be $4.3^{\circ}C$ and 3.6%.

Convective systems propagate eastward with a persistent pattern in the longitude-time space. The characteristic structure and fluctuation of convective system is helpful in determining its predictability. In this study, convective index (CI) was defined as a difference between GOES-9 window and water vapor channel brightness temperatures following Mosher (2001). Then the temporal-spatial scales and variational characteristics of the summer convective systems in the East Asia were analyzed. It is found that the average moving speed of the convective system is about 14 m/s which is much faster than the low pressure system in the summer. Their average duration is about 12 hours and the average length of the cloud streak is about 750km. These characteristics are consistent with results from other studies. Although the convective systems are forced by the synoptic system and are mostly developed in the eastern edge of the Tibetan Plateau, they have a persistent pattern, i.e., appearance of the maximum intensity of convective systems, as they approach the Korean Peninsula. The consistency of the convective systems, i.e., the eastward propagation, suggests that there exists an intrinsic predictability.

The LCF (low cycle fatigue) behavior and the serration phenomena in the plastically deformed and non-deformed 5052 Al alloy were investigated. The plastic deformation was performed by 1 pass or 4 passes in ECAP (equal channel angular pressing) followed by annealing. Only cyclic hardening continued from the beginning until fracture at all strain amplitudes during LCF in the non-deformed alloy, which was caused by the increase in dislocation density during fatigue. Slight cyclic hardening followed by plateau until fracture was observed during LCF in the ECAPed alloy, which was caused by the slight increase in dislocation density in the beginning and then keeping constant in dislocation density afterward until fracture by forming subgrains in this stage of fatigue. The serrations on the stress-strain curves of this alloy were observed, which indicate that the dynamic strain aging (DSA) is occurring during plastic deformation. The variation in amplitudes of serration was studied by changing the strain rate in tensile or fatigue tests.

We have prepared polymer composites of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and ionomers (Surlyn 8940) containing polar segments and metal ions by melt blending with carbon black (CB) as a conductive filler. The resistivity and positive temperature coefficient (PTC) of the ionomer/LDPE/CB composites were investigated with respect to the CB content. The ionomer content has an effect on the resistivity and percolation threshold of the polymer composites; the percolation curve exhibits a plateau at low CB content. The PTC intensity of the crosslinked ionomer/LDPE/CB composite decreased slightly at low ionomer content, and increased significantly above a critical concentration of the ionomer. Irradiation-induced crosslinking could increase the PTC intensity and decrease the NTC effect of the polymer composites. The minimum switching current (Ι$\sub$trip/) of the polymer composites decreased with temperature; the ratio of Ι$\sub$trip/ for the ionomer/LDPE/CB composite decreased to a greater extent than that of the LDPE/CB composite. The average temperature coefficient of resistance (${\alpha}$$\sub$T/) for the polymer composites increased in the low-temperature region.

일본 홋카이도의 다이세츠산 국립공원은 지형 조건상 삼림한계를 넘는 고산대가 광범위하며, 지표지질은 침식에 취약한 화산쇄설물로 이루어져 있다. 또한 등산 성수기와 융설기가 시기적으로 겹치므로 답압, 융설수, 서릿발에 의한 토양침식이 등산로를 따라 활발하게 일어난다. 특히 융설수에 의한 노면 세굴과 서릿발에 의한 측벽 후퇴가 결합하여 등산로 단면이 크게 확대될 수 있으며, 세굴로 인하여 걷기 불편해진 등산로를 벗어나 걸음으로써 노면분기도 빈번하게 일어난다. 비탈면 구간에서 발생한 토사는 등산로 아래쪽으로 흘러내려와 노면뿐 아니라 주변 초지까지 매몰시키며 2차적인 훼손을 일으키고 있다.

한반도 일부 토양에서 비정질 실리카($SiO_2$) 실트 입자들이 발견되었다. 토양 연마박편의 주사전자현미경에서 관찰된 비정질 $SiO_2$ 입자는 타원형이며, 1마이크론 이하의 극미세 공극들이 입자 내부에 집중 분포한다. 입자의 비정질성은 투과전자현미경 격자상 관찰과 전자회절로 확인하였다. 이 이질적인 실트 입자들의 풍성기원 가능성을 확인하기 위하여 중국 황토고원의 풍성퇴적물인 뢰스(loess) 내 $SiO_2$ 실트입자들을 조사하였으나 유사 입자를 확인하지 못하였다. 아직 기원이 명확하진 않지만, 식물규소체나 화산재 풍화물일 가능성이 있다. 토양환경에서 비정질 $SiO_2$ 실트 입자의 장거리 이동 광물먼지(황사) 추적자로서 가능성은 낮다.

최근 공개된 위성중력을 이용하는 오차 최소화 기법을 적용하여 선상중력내 존재하는 구간 측선간 오차나 교차점 오차를 성공적으로 보정하였으며, 보정된 선상중력을 위성중력과 결합하여 고해상 중력분포를 도출하였다. 오차 최소화 과정에서 울릉분지의 선상중력은 위성중력보다 장주기 성분에서 상대적으로 크게 보정되었으나 단주기 성분은 그대로 보존되었다. 이것은 선상중력이 갖는 단주기의 중력 성분이 훼손되지 않은 채 안정되고 연속성을 갖는 장주기의 인공위성 중력분포에 잘 접합될 수 있다는 것을 보여 준다. 통합된 후리에어이상도는 위성중력의 장주기 성분과 선상중력의 단주기 성분을 모두 표현하므로 해저지형 및 지질분포의 해석에서 보다 상세하고 신뢰성 있는 정보를 제공한다. 후리에어이상은 수심이 깊은 분지 중앙 지역이 해저산이나 대지 등 높은 지형으로 이루어진 분지 주변부 보다 상대적으로 낮게 분포하는 등 전반적으로 해저지형의 분포 경향에 부합되어 변화한다. 그러나 대륙사면을 이루고 있는 분지의 서쪽 및 동쪽 주변부를 따라서는 지역적으로 함몰된 퇴적기반과 두꺼운 퇴적층 및 대륙 주변부에서 특징적인 가장자리 효과로 인한 저이상대가 발달하고 있다. 울릉도 북동부에 위치한 한국대지 및 울릉대지에서 북동-남서방향의 선형분포를 갖는 중력이상은 동해가 열개되는 동안 균열된 지각 사이를 따라 일어난 화산활동의 결과로 형성된 해산이나 관입암체가 선형으로 배열함으로서 기인한 것으로 해석된다. 선형으로 배열된 고중력분포는 울릉대지 서쪽 경계부에서 급구배를 보이는 북북서-남남동 방향의 직선적인 중력분포에 의해 절단되고 있는 데 이 급구배의 중력이상은 울릉대지 서부 경계를 이루는 단층선애에 기인한다. 울릉대지가 서쪽으로 뚜렷한 단층 접촉을 나타내고 있으나 지형적인 형태에 있어서 대비되지 않는 것은 울릉대지가 단층을 경계로 분리되어 이동되어 왔을 가능성을 시사한다. 분지의 중앙 북동부에서는 수심이 깊어지는 데 비해 중력치는 오히려 높아지는 경향을 나타내고 있는 것은 맨틀이 주변부에 비해서 상대적으로 천부에 존재하고 있는 것이 가장 큰 요인이며, 해저지각의 두께가 얇은 대신 지각의 밀도가 주변 대륙보다 높은 데도 기인한다.

Titanium dioxide particles with three different average sizes, prepared by three different methods, were incorporated into silica gel pores by impregnation. The titanium dioxide incorporated into the silica gel pores was photoionized by 240-400 nm irradiation at 77 K by a one-photon process to from trapped hole centers on OH group and trapped electron centers on titanium which were detected by electron paramagnetic resonance at 77 K. During the impregnation the smallest size range of TiO2 particles can be incorporated into silica gels with 2.5-1.5 nm pores. However, the largest size range of TiO2 particles can only be incorporated into silica gels with 6-15 nm pores and not into silica gels with 2.5-4 nm pores. The photoyield and stability of photoinduced hole and electron centers depends on the silica pore sizes of silica gels and surface area as well as on the TiO2 loading. In large pore silica gels and large particle size of TiO2, photoinduced charge separation reaches to a plateau at shorter irradiation times and the trapped hole and electron centers are more stable to decay.

To investigate the ultrastructural changes of kidney and clarify to a cause of its changes in lead intoxicated rats, the 0.5% lead acetate administed orally to the rats and those were sacrifled at 2 day, 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 week after the treatment of lead acetate. Each extirpated kidney was histopathologically examined under the electron microscopy and histochemical examination was also carried out. Concomitantly, the activity of free radical metabolizing enzyme was determined. The blood levels of lead concentration showed a gradual increase from the first group reaching the plateau at the one or two week group with the slightly decreasing value throughout the whole course of the experiment. And the urinary ALA concentration showed a gradual increase from the first group to the 8 week group. In the kidney tissue of rat sacrified at 6 week, the proximal tubular cells showed dilatation of endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondrial swelling, increased numbers of secondary lysosomes and myelin figure-like residual bodies on electron microscope and oxygen free radicals are identified by histochemistry on light microscope whereas there were no differences in the activity of catalase and glutathione peroxidase between the lead acetate treated group and control group. But the activity of xanthine oxidase was more increased in lead acetate treated rats than control group. Furthermore, the superoxide dismutase activity was significantly increased in the experimental group than the control group. In conclusion, it is assumed the kidney damage in lead intoxicated rat may be induced by free radicals.

The linear viscoelastic behavior of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) polymers with different rubber content has been investigated in the frame of a linear viscoelastic model, which takes into account the inter-connectivity of the dispersed rubber particles. The model developed in our previous work has been shown to properly predict the low frequency plateau for the storage modulus, which is generally observed in polymer blends containing core-shell-type impact modifiers. In the present study, further experiments have been carried out on ABS polymers with different rubber content to verify the validity of our linear viscoelastic model. It has been found that our model describes quite properly the rheological behavior of ABS polymers with different rubber content, especially at low frequencies. The experimental data confirm that our model describes the rheological properties of rubber-modified thermoplastic polymers with strong adhesion at the particle/matrix interface more accurately than the Palierne model.
