Global human activities associated with the use of fossil fuels have aggravated climate change, increasing air temperature. Consequently, climate change has the potential to alter surface water temperature with significant impacts on biogeochemical cycling and ecosystems in natural water body. In this study, we examined temporal trends on historical records of surface water temperature, and investigated the air temperature/water temperature relationship and the potential water temperature change from an air temperature scenario developed with regional climate model. Although the temporal trends of water temperature are highly variable site-by-site, surface water temperature was highly dependent on air temperature, and has increased significantly in some sub-watersheds over the last two decades. The results presented here demonstrate that water temperature changes are expected to be slightly higher in river system than reservoir systems and more significant during winter than summer for both river and reservoir system. Projected change of surface water temperature will likely increase $1.06^{\circ}C$ for rivers and $0.95^{\circ}C$ for reservoirs during the period 2008 to 2050. Given the potential climatic changes, every $1^{\circ}C$ increase in water temperature could cause dissolved oxygen levels to fall every 0.206 ppm.

Corrsion fatigue test was performed under rotated bending in 3.5% NaCl aqueous solution having a temperature from 278.deg.K in order to investigate the effects of aqueous solution remperature on the corrosion fatigue fracture of raw material steel(SS41) and dual phase steel that was produced from SS41 by a series of heat treatment. Corrosion fatigue life decreases remarkably with increase in solution temperature or with decrease in stress level. The corrosion fatigue life and the crack propagation rate at 303.deg.K show the similar behaviors with those at 318.deg.K, which is assumed to be caused by concentration polarization phenamena. The number and the lengths of microcracks increase with increase in solution temperature, so they lead to the decrease in corrosion fatigue life.

In order to provide some insights into the influence of electric field, gas composition, and gas temperature on electron energy distribution and electron transport characteristics, the Boltzmann equation was solved by using cross section data for electron collisions, Critical electric fields for the corona development in dry air and flue gas are 150 and 80 Td, respectively. It was seen that the decrease of critical electric field in flue gas is mainly caused by the $H_2O$ addition through the comparison of ionization and attachment coefficients of gas components. Increase of $O_2$, $H_2O$, and $CO_2$ contents in gas affected discharge characteristics according to their reciprocal characteristics between lowering the ionization threshold and increasing the electro-negativity. As electric field increases, electrons with higher energies in the electron energy distribution also increase. The mean and characteristic electron energies also linearly increase with electric field. The variation of flue gas temperature did rarely affect on the electron energy distribution function and electron transport characteristics, because the gas temperature is several hundreds or thousands times lower than the electron temperature.

Cadmium sulphide films with thickness of 0.6∼1.2$\mu\textrm{m}$ were deposited onto corning 7059 glass substrate under a vacuum of 5${\times}$10$\^$-6/ Torr. Source and substrate temperature ranges used were 800∼1100$^{\circ}C$ and 100∼200$^{\circ}C$, respectively. The microstructures and semiconducting properties of the films were studied using X-ray diffraction, UV-VIS-IR spectrophotometer and Hall measurement unit. Electrical resistivity and optical transmission of the CdS films decrease with an increase in source temperature while they increase with an increase in substrate temperature. The resistivity of the film evaporated at 1100$^{\circ}C$ varied from 7${\times}$10$^3$ohm-cm at the substrate temperature of 100$^{\circ}C$ to 2${\times}$10$\_$6/ohm-cm at 190$^{\circ}C$. All the films had hexagonal structure and strong texture with c-axis of grains normal to the substrate glass.

To increase drying rate and reduce drying degradation, pretreatments such as prefreezing and presteaming have been widely used in wood industries. Presteaming lumbers prior to kiln drying is known positively to improve its permeability, to increase diffusion coefficient and to reduce discoloration, but negatively to increase collapse. Prefreezing lumbers prior to kiln drying is also known to reduce significantly its drying defects and its shrinkages. Thus it is no doubt that the pretreated lumbers shrink diversely from the untreated. In this study the shrinkage behaviors of the pretreated specimens are investigated by drying two tropical hardwoods (Apitong and Taun) in three different dying conditions: high temperature and slow drying rate (drying in a closed cylinder), high temperature and rapid drying rate (drying in an oven) and low temperature and slow drying rate(drying at room temperature). The prefrozen specimens show the least volumetric shrinkages in most drying conditions. The specimens dried in cylinders shrink most among all drying conditions. In general the pretreated specimens reached the 30 % moisture content faster than the untreated by about 30 %.

Microwave extraction system equipped with closed vessels, which is known to rapidly extract target compounds from natural products, was applied to monitor the changes in phenolic compounds, browning color intensity and electron donating ability by using response surface methodology(RSM). Maximum content of phenolic compound was 21.65mg/100ml in 67.88% of ethanol concentration, 145oC of extraction temperature, and 6.24min of extraction time. The phenolic compounds in extracts are dependent on the increase of the extraction temperature and the ethanol concentration. Browning color intensity, which was maximized in 67.21%, 147oC, and 6.02min, was proportional to the increase of the extraction temperature. Maximum value of electron donating ability was 24.50units in 54.33%, 147oC, and 6.11 min. The electron donating ability of extracts was dependent on the increase of extraction temperature and maximized in the range from 50 to 65% of ethanol concentration.

This study has investigated the effect of thermal stability and mechanical property of $Fe_{80-X}P_{10}C_6B_4M_X$(X=2, 4, 6, M=transition metal) amorphous alloys fabricated by the melt-spun process. The glass transition temperature($T_g$), crystallization temperature($T_x$) and hardness increase with decreasing electron concentration (e/a) from about 7.38 to 7.18. The decrease of e/a implies the increase in the attractive bonding state between the M elements and other constituent element. The decrease in a/e leads to the enhancement of the attractive bonding state among the constituent elements which is favorable for the increase in $T_g$, $T_x$ and hardness.

In this study, the performance of the Stirling type orifice Pulse tube refrigerator (OPTR) with a linear compressor was investigated by experiment. The dynamic pressures at three points and a temperature at the cold heat exchanger are measured to explore the dependency of the orifice on the performance of the OPTR. The experimental results show that the opening of the orifice has significant effects on the no load temperature and cool down characteristics. The Pressure amplitude in Pulse tube decrease as the opening of the orifice increase, but the mass flow rate through the orifice and the electric input Power to the compressor increase. The results show that the operating frequency and charging Pressure does not affect on the no load temperature. The pressure amplitude in pulse tube decrease as the operating frequency increase or the charging Pressure decreased.

Effect of Bi2O3/Li2CO3 on low temperature sinteirng and dielectric property of BaTiO3 ceramics has been investigated. For the specimen sintered at 110$0^{\circ}C$, it was densified to 96% of BaTiO3 theoretical density by the addition of 1.0-1.25w/o Bi2O3/Li2CO3. Maximum dielectric constant increased and Curie temperature lowered with the increase of Bi2O3/Li2CO3 content, which probably can be explained by thne substitution of Bi3+, Li1+ on BaTiO3 lattice. The volatilization of Li1+, resulting from the increase of soaking time at 110$0^{\circ}C$ leads to the increase of Curie temperature and tetragonality of the specimen.

Discharge of the flat lamp lighting source research are requested very much. For improving brightness. life time. efficiency of flat lamp and plasma diagnosis of the flat lamp lighting source to understand property of lighting source is very important. When a distance of discharge electrode is 5.5mm and width is 16.5mm. we measured electron temperature and electron density measured with single Langmuir probe in flat lamp. We tested the discharge from 100 Torr to 300 Torr pressure. The pulse type was rectangular with frequency 20kHz and duty ratio was 20%. In result. electron temperature decreases and electron density increased as increase the gas pressure and electron temperature decreases and electron density increase as increase the voltage.
