  • Evapotranspiration (ET) is an important component of hydrological processes. Accurate estimates of ET variation are of vital importance for natural hazard adaptation and water resource management. This study first developed a soil water index (SWI)-based Priestley-Taylor algorithm (SWI-PT) based on the enhanced vegetation index (EVI), SWI, net radiation, and temperature. The algorithm was then compared with a modified satellite-based Priestley-Taylor ET model (MS-PT). After examining the performance of the two models at 10 flux tower sites in different land cover types over East Asia and Australia, the daily estimates from the SWI-PT model were closer to observations than those of the MS-PT model in each land cover type. The average correlation coefficient of the SWI-PT model was 0.81, compared with 0.66 in the original MS-PT model. The average value of the root mean square error decreased from $36.46W/m^2$ to $23.37W/m^2$ in the SWI-PT model, which used different variables of soil moisture and vegetation indices to capture soil evaporation and vegetative transpiration, respectively. By using the EVI and SWI, uncertainties involved in optimizing vegetation and water constraints were reduced. The estimated ET from the MS-PT model was most sensitive (to the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) in forests) to net radiation ($R_n$) in grassland and cropland. The estimated ET from the SWI-PT model was most sensitive to $R_n$, followed by SWI, air temperature ($T_a$), and the EVI in each land cover type. Overall, the results showed that the MS-PT model estimates of ET in forest and cropland were weak. By replacing the fraction of soil moisture ($f_{sm}$) with the SWI and the NDVI with the EVI, the newly developed SWI-PT model captured soil evaporation and vegetation transpiration more accurately than the MS-PT model.

  • Change of magnetic properties in CoCrPt/Ti perpendicular media with varying CoCrPt film thickness has been studied. As the CoCrPt film thickness increases from 25 nm, the Ms (saturation magnetization) increases rapidly at first and then more gradually. This Ms behavior is associated primarily with the formation of an "amorphous-like"reacted layer created by intermixing of CoCrPt and Ti at the CoCrPt/Ti interface and secondarily with a change of the Cr segregation mode with varying CoCrPt film thickness. Magnetic domain structure distinctively changes with increasing CsCrPt magnetic layer (ML) thickness. Also the strength of exchange coupling measured from the slope in the demagnetizing region of the M-H loop changes with ML thickness. The expansion of lattice parameters a and c at smaller film thickness suggests that the Cr segregation mode may be connected with the residual stress of the films. Finally, the negative nucleation field (Hn) shows a unique behavior with the change of strength of the exchange interaction.teraction.

  • Change of magnetic properties in CoCrPt/Ti perpendicular media with varying CoCrPt films thickness has been studied. As CoCrPt films thickness increase, the Ms(magnetization saturation) drastically increases at thinner thickness and gradually increases with further increase in thickness from 25nm. This Ms behaviour is associated with primarily the formation of "amorphous-like" reacted layer by intermixing of CoCrPt and Ti at CoCrPt/Ti interface and secondarily change of Cr segregation mode with varying the CoCrPt films thickness. Magnetic domain structure distinctively changes with increasing CoCrPt magnetic layer(ML) thickness. Also the strength of exchange coupling measured from the slope in demagnetizing region in M-H loop changes with ML thickness. Details of the above magnetic properties will be discussed. The expansion of lattice parameters a and c at thinner thickness suggests that Cr segregation mode may be connected with the residual stress of the films. Finally, negative nucleation field(Hn) behaviour with the exchange slope will be reported.

  • Phentermine (PT) and phenmetrazine (PM) have been widely used as anti-obesity drugs. These drugs should be used with caution due to its close relation to amphetamine in its structure and toxicity. PT and PM, amphetamine-type anorectics, have recently been considered as alternatives for methamphetamine abuse in Korea. In addition, the misuse and abuse of PT and PM obtained by illegal sources such as the internet become a serious social problem. In the present study, a simultaneous detection and quantification method for determining PT and PM in human urine was developed and validated according to the international guidelines. The urine samples were screened using a fluorescence polarization immunooassay and analyzed by gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) after extraction using automatic solid phase extraction (SPE) with a mixed-mode cation exchange cartridge and derivatization with pentafluoropropionic anhydride (PFPA). The validation results for selectivity, linearity, limits of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ), intra- and inter-assay precision and accuracy and recovery were satisfactory. The validated method was successfully applied to authentic urine samples collected from 38 drug abuse suspects. PT and/or PM were identified with or without methamphetamine in urine samples. Abuse of PT and PM have increased continuously in Korea, therefore, closer supervision of the inappropriate use of anoretics is necessary.

  • The effect of thermal-nitrification on L1o transfomation in nano-sized FePt particles was studied. As-synthesized FePt nanoparticles by thermal decomposition method have fcc structured phase and their Hc and Ms were 247.34 Oe and 27.308 emu/g, respectively. According to the XRD analysis, phase transformation from fcc (face centered cubic) to fct (face centered tetragonal) structure was revealed by heating under $NH_3+H_2$ mixed-gas atmosphere. Also a slight shift of each (111) peak indicated phase transformation from fcc to fct structure. Hc and Ms of fct FePtN were 1058.2 Oe and 32.718 emu/g, respectively. The nano-sized FePtN magnetic particles synthesized by thermal decomposition method and mixed-gas nitrification are expected for advanced applications such as high density magnetic recording media and biomedical materials.

  • In order to improve phosphate use efficiency of rice using phosphate transporter (PT), transgenic rice plants containing a tobacco PT gene were developed. Calli from Dongjinbyeo (Oryza sativa L.) were cocultured with A. tumefaciens LBA 4404 harboring PT gene. Multiplied calli were transferred to MS medium supplemented with 50 mg/L hygromycin, 500 mg/L carbenicillin, 2 mg/L kinetin, 0.1 mg/L NAA. After 2 weeks, hygromycin resistant shoots were obtained from the calli on the selection medium. The putative transgenic shoots were transferred to rooting MS medium supplemented with 250 mg/L cabenicillin. Plant regeneration rate from the calli was about 52%. Stable incorporation of the tobacco PT gene into rice genomic DNA was confirmed by PCR and Southern blot analysis.

  • In this study, lignin was efficiently degraded via two-step catalytic cracking process and lignin-oil, char, and gas was produced as lignin degraded products. Three kinds of catalysts (MgO, CaO, and Pt/C) were used in first catalytic cracking step and the highest lignin-oil yield (76.2 wt%) was obtained in Pt/C catalyst with the smallest char formation (4.1 wt%). GC-MS/FID analysis revealed that 18 kinds of monomeric phenols existed in lignin-oil and sum of them was the highest in Pt/C condition (97.8 mg/g lignin). Meanwhile, relatively lower yield of monomeric phenols was produced in MgO and CaO condition because of their absorption on catalysts. Lignin-oil produced over Pt/C was introduced to second catalytic cracking process with porous Pd/activated carbon aerogel catalyst. From this process, four kinds of monomeric phenols such as 4-ethylguaiacol, 4-propylguaiacol, 4-ethylsyringol, 4-propylsyringol were selectively produced at 0.89 - 1.82 wt% level.

  • In this study, effects of novel VMn underlayer on magnetic properties of CoCrPt/VMn longitudinal medium was studied and compared with those of CoCrPt/Cr medium. It was found that the VMn film had (200) preferred orientation and the lattice constant was about 0.2967 nm, which is slightly larger than that of the Cr, 0.2888 nm. The grain size of VMn film was 9.3 nm at 30 nm thickness, and this is about 38 % smaller than that of a similarly deposited Cr film. The CoCrPt/VMn films showed higher coercivity in comparison with the CoCrPt/Cr films. The coercivity increase seems to be attributed to the increased Co (11.0) texture, improved lattice matching between Co (11.0) and VMn (200), and lower stacking fault density. Mn must have diffused into the CoCrPt magnetic layer more uniformly rather than preferentially along grain boundaries this reduced Ms at higher substrate temperature
