An experimental study on seedling production and wintering to develop pearl oyster, Pinctada fucata culture in Korea was carried out. from December 1986 to November 1988 in waters of Kori and of Seogwipo as wintering and of Eogu as culturing grounds. All pearl oysters as the sample were imported from Japan. The highest water temperature at Eogu was $23.6^{\circ}C$ in August and the lowest at Kori and Seogwipo were $13.2^{\circ}C$ and $14.0^{\circ}C$c in February, respectively, Phytoplankton was relatively plentiful but mortality of pearl oysters was $20.5\%$, which was twice at Seogwipo, due to high amount of suspended muds. It shows that Seogwipo is better wintering ground even though the amount of phytoplankton is lower than Kori. Average rates of pearl production after 6-months and 15-months period were $58.2\%$ and $48.3\%$ respecitively. Thickness of pearl layer and coating rate were also satisfactory. More than half of the pearls produced was so-called the pink-pearl, the best colour. About $10\%$ of them was the best quality. There were three peaks of D-shape larvae from July to September and it took about one month for D-shape larvae to become seed-shells. Settling was satisfactory and most of them settled at 1$\~$3 m layer and the best was 2 m-layer. Success of settling was supposed due to high water temperature and low precipitation than the normal year.

The objective of this study was to compare the growth performance between Korean native layer chickens and imported layer chickens at early rearing stage. Total number of chicks analyzed in this study was 276 and feeding period was conducted from July 24, 2012 for 10 weeks. Five strains including 2 Korean native strains: A=Korean Native Black (Chungcheongbuk-do) and B=Korean Native Yellowish Brown (Gyeongsangbuk-do) and 3 imported layer strains: C=White Leghorn (Gyeongsangnam-do), D=White Leghorn (Seoul), and E=Ameraucanas (Gyeongsangbuk-do) were used to analyze the following traits such as fertility, hatchability, body weight at a different growing stage, average body weight gain, and feed conversion ratio. The fertilities and hatchabilities of strains were 93.88% and 95.65% in strain A, 81.75% and 86.24% in strain B, 82.25% and 88.15% in strain C, 79.25% and 90.85% in strain D, and 71.50% and 88.11% in strain E, respectively. A viability was excellent in strains A and E to be more than 98% and was low in strain D to be 86.67% at a whole week. The strain A had greater body weight during growing stages (p<0.05) than the other strains. The shank length of strain D of $56.69{\pm}3.27mm$ was the highest value at 10 weeks of age among strains (p<0.05). The phenotypic correlation coefficients of strains A and D between an average body weight gain and a shank length were 0.63 and 0.73 during 0~2 wk, 0.70 and 0.55 during 2~4 wk, 0.55 and 0.54 during 4~6 wk, 0.50 and 0.24 during 6~8 wk, and 0.46 and 0.29 during 8~10 wk, respectively. The Korean native hens may have potential abilities to be used as an excellent seed stock for poultry industry.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of germination condition and drying temperature on growth and physicochemical properties of brown rice. Three brown rice seeds of Ilpumbyeo, Dasanbyeo and Heugjinjubyeo were stored at room temperature for six weeks to test the time-sequence germination viability. Relatively stable germination ratio was maintained until 2 weeks after storage. However, 3 weeks after storage, germination ratio of brown rice seeds started to decrease rapidly and their germination ratio was lower than 80%. For this reason, brown rice was recommended for seeding within 2 weeks after hulling. During the initial 5 days, germination ratio of 24 hours pre-soaking brown rice was higher about 2-3% than that of non-soaking brown rice. The $25^{\circ}C$ was considered as the most favorable temperature for brown rice germination, because of the high germination ratio and desirable coleoptile growth of the brown rice, and little seed rotting symptoms. The scanning electron micrographs showed the structural differences between hot-air dried and freeze dried germinated-brown rice kernel. In the freeze dried germinated-brown rice, seed coat (pericarp, tegmen and aleurone layer) was mechanically disrupted from the endosperm, and many cleavages were observed among starch storing cells and starch granules. The endosperm of freeze-dried brown rice kernels formed the sponge-like structures and showed the fragile traits. For this reason, hot-air drying is considered as more suitable method than freeze drying for germinated-brown rice. The crude protein and amylose contents were slightly changed, but there were no significant differences during the germination period. Crude fiber content was decreased, but crude Int and total amino acid contents were increased as seeding days increased. A rapid increase in $\alpha$-amylase activities of germinating brown rice was observed at S days after seeding, and $\alpha$-amylase activities were decreased from 8 days after seeding. Total free sugar contents were decreased during the germination period. There was continuous decline in the contents of sucrose and glucose until 8 days after seeding, but fructose and maltose content were gradually increased from the 5 days after seeding.

Hydrophobic/hydrophilic patterned substrates were fabricated on a glass substrate by a liquid phase deposition (LPD) method. Hydrophobic surface was obtained by modifying ZnO thin films with a rough surface using a fluoroalkyltrimethoxysilane (FAS) and hydrophilic surface was prepared by decomposing FAS on an exposed to UV light. The hexagonal ZnO rods were perpendicularly grown by LPD method on glass substrates with a ZnO seed layer. The diameter and thickness of hexagonal ZnO rods were increased as a function of increases of immersion time. The surface morphology, thickness, crystal structure, transmittance and contact angle of prepared ZnO thin films were measured by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-visible spectrophotometer (UV-vis) and contact angle measurement. Hydrophilic ZnO thin films with a contact angle of $20^{\circ}{\sim}30^{\circ}$ were changed to a hydrophobic surface with a contact angle of $145^{\circ}{\sim}161^{\circ}$ by a FAS surface treatment. Prepared hydrophobic surface was pattered by an irradiation of UV light using shadow mask with $300\;{\mu}m$ or 3 mm dot size. Finally, the hydrophobic surface exposed to UV light was changed to a hydrophilic surface.

High purity SiC fine powder with metal impurity contents of less than 1 ppm was synthesized by improved carbothermal reduction process, and the synthesized powder was used for SiC single crystal growth in RF heating PVT device at temperature above 2,100℃. In-situ x-ray image analyzer was used to observe the sublimation of the powder and single crystal growth behavior during the growth process. SiC powder was used as a source of single crystal growth, exhausted from the outside of the graphite crucible at the growth temperature and left graphite residues. During the growth, the flow of raw materials was concentrated in the middle and influenced the growth behavior of SiC single crystals. This is due to the difference in temperature distribution inside the crucible due to the fine powder. After the single crystal growth was completed, the single crystal ingot was cut into a 1 mm thick single crystal substrate and finely polished using a diamond abrasive slurry. A dark yellow 4H-SiC was observed overall of single crystal substrate, and the polycrystals generated in the outer part may be caused by the incorporation of impurities such as the bubble layer mixed in the process of attaching the seed crystal to the seed holder.

The deposition characteristics of MOCVO Cu using the (hfac)Cu(I) (1,5-DMCOD)(1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoro-2,4-pentanedionato Cu(I) 1,5-dimethyl-cyclooctadine) as a precursor have been investigated in terms of the effects of hydrogen and H(hfac) ligand addition with He carrier gas. MOCVD Cu using a Helium carrier gas showed a low deposition rate (20~$125{\AA}/min$) at the substrate temperature range of 180~$230^{\circ}C$. Moreover, the Cu film deposited at 19$0^{\circ}C$ was very thin (~$700{\AA}$) and showed the lowest resistivity value of $2.8{\mu}{\Omega}-cm$. The deposition rate of MOCVD Cu using $H_2$or H(hfac) addition was significantly enhanced especially at the low temperature region (180~$190^{\circ}C$). Furthermore, thinner Cu films (~$500{\AA}$) provided low resistivity (3.6~$2.86{\mu}{\Omega}-cm$). From surface reflectance measurement, very thin films deposited by using different gas system revealed good surface morphology comparable with sputtered Cu film ($300^{\circ}C$, vacuum-anneal). Hence, Cu film using (hfac)Cu(1,5-DMCOD) as a precursor is expected as a good seed layer in the electrochemical deposition process for Cu metallization.

For the aquaculture industrialization of surf clam (Tresus keenae), it is important to basic data on the marine environment of the habitat of surf clam (T. keenae). In this study, we investigated the marine environment of habitat of surf clam (T. keenae) and sought to basic data for the preparation of surf clam (T. keenae) for artificial seed production. The water temperature of the habitat of surf clam (T. keenae) was the lowest in winter and appeared high in summer. The salt concentration showed it range from 31.2 to 33.9 psu. The pH showed it range from 7.69 to 8.70, with high pH in winter and low pH in summer. The dissolved oxygen(DO) was showed it range from 6.20 to 10.24 mg / L and the autumn was relatively higher than the spring and winter. The species composition of phytoplankton was about 30 to 40 species, and most of them were diatoms. The abundance of seasonal phytoplankton showed it range from 23.5 to 61.3 cells / ml, showing seasonal differences. The expression of dominant species also showed a difference depending on the season. As for the particle size composition of the sediment, sandy silt was the most distributed. Flow velocities appeared at 50-80 cm / s in the southeast direction at ebb tide and at 60-100 cm / s in the northwest direction at flood tide. The results of this study can be used as basic data for providing knowledge about the habitat and marine environment of surf clam (T. keenae) and for studying shellfish that inhabit the sedimentary layer.

Dietary powder from Plantaginis ovatae testa was prepared by mechnical milling/grinding of the outer layer of the seed. The crystalline/surface structures of its powder (100 mesh) were examined, and several physical functionalities including, water capacity, oil holding capacity, emulsion/foam properties and physiological functionality such as in-vitro glucose and bile acid retarding effects were also investigated. Water holding capacity(WHC) of psyllium powder was $33.71{\pm}0.10g$ water retained/g solid at room temperature, whileas oil holding capacity(OHC) for soybean or rice bran oil were about 1.80g oil retained/g solid. These values of WHC and OHC were about 5.6 times higher and 2.8 times lower than those of commercial ${\alpha}$-cellulose, respectively. Changes of pH showed a small effect on WHC, but WHC increased with temperature. Emulsion capacity of 2%(w/v) psyllium was about 60% level of 0.5%(w/v) xanthan gum but emulsion stability after incubation of 24 hours showed about 1.4 times improvement of xanthan gum(0.5%,w/v). Also, psylliume(above 2%, w/v) alone had higher foam capacity than that of xanthan(1.1 times) and especially, 1 or 2% addition of psyllium improved the foam stability of protein solution(1% albumin+0.5% $CaCl_2$) by factor of 3.3 and 6.0 times, respectively. The glucose and bile acid retarding effects of psyllium powder were relatively very excellent suggesting the prevention from diabetes and arteriosclerosis. Especially, psyllium showed the 3.7 and 3.3 times higher effect on in-vitro glucose and bile acid retardation than those of commercial ${\alpha}$-cellulose, respectively.

The front transparent conductive oxide (TCO) films must exhibit good transparency, low resistivity and excellent light scattering properties for high efficiency amorphous silicon (a-Si) thin film solar cells. The light trapping phenomenon is limited due to non-uniform and low aspect ratio of the textured glass [1]. We present the low cost electrochemically deposited uniform zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods with various aspect ratios for a-Si thin film solar cells. Since the major drawback of the electrochemically deposited ZnO nanorods was the high sheet resistance and low transmittance that was overcome by depositing the RF magnetron sputtered AZO films as a seed layer with various thicknesses [2]. The length and diameters of the ZnO nanorods was controlled by varying the deposition conditions. The length of ZnO nanorods were varied from 400 nm to $2{\mu}m$ while diameter was kept higher than 200 nm to obtain different aspect ratios. The uniform ZnO nanorods showed higher haze ratio as compared to the commercially available FTO films. We also observed that the scattering in the longer wavelength region was favored for the high aspect ratio of ZnO nanorods and much higher aspect ratios degraded the light scattering phenomenon. Therefore, we proposed our low cost and uniform ZnO nanorods for the high efficiency of thin film solar cells.

구리는 낮은 비저항, 높은 열전도도, 우수한 electromigration(EM)저항특성 등을 바탕으로 차세대 nano-scale집적회로의 interconnect application에 적합한 금속재료로서 각광받고 있다. copper interconnect는 damascene process 를주로 이용하는데 CVD를 이용하면 step coverage가우수한 seed layer얻을 수 있어 고집적 소자의 구현이 가능하다. 최근에 비 균등화 반응(disproportionationreaction)을 이용하여 고 순도 구리박막을 제조하기위해 $\beta$-diketonate Cu(I) Lewis-base의 전구체를 많이 이용하는데 그중에서 hexafluoroacetylacetonate(hfac)Cu(I)vinyltrimethylsilane (VTMS)가 널리 이용되고 있다. 그러나 (hfac)Cu(I)(VTMS) 또는 유사계열의 전구체들은 열적안정성및 보관안정성이 부족하여 실제 양산공정에 적합하지 못한 단점이 있었다. 본 연구에 이용된 2가 전구체Cu(dmamb)2는 높은 증기압($70^{\circ}C$, 0.9torr)을 가지며 종래에 주로 이용하던 1가 전구체 (hfac)Cu(VTMS)에 비해 높은 활성화 에너지(~113 kJ/mol)를가짐으로서 열적안정성 및 보관안정성이 우수하다. 다른 한편으로 2가전구체는 안정성이 우수한 만큼 낮은 증기압을 극복하기 위해 리간드에 플루오르를 주로 치환하여 증기압을 높이는데 플루오르는 성장하는 박막의 접착력을약하게 하는 단점을 가진다. 하지만 본 연구에 사용된 Cu(dmamb)2는 리간드에 플루오르를 포함하지 않으며, 따라서 고품질의 박막을 용이한성장환경에서 제조할 수 있는 장점들을 제공한다. 비활성가스 분위기에서 2가전구체는 열에너지에 의해 리간드의 자가환원에따라 금속-리간드 분해가 발생한다. 하지만 수소분위기에서는수소가 환원제로 작용하여 리간드의 분해를 용이하게 하는 특징을 가지며 따라서 비활성분위기일 때 비해 낮은 성장온도를 가진다. 또한 수소는 잔류하는 리간드 및 불순물과 결합하여 휘발성화학종들을 생성하여 고순도의 구리박막제조를 가능하게한다.
