In this article photoluminescence of the $Al_2O_3:xCr_2O_3$ solid solutions prepared by solid state reaction method are represented. The effect of $Cr_2O_3$-activator concentration and heat treatment time on the PL characteristics have been discussed in conjunction with microstructure of phosphor samples. The $Al_2O_3:xCr_2O_3$ phosphors show the highest PL intensity at x=0.003 mole when the samples are reacted at $1600^{\circ}C$ for 5 h. The PL emission and absorption spectra show the maximum peaks at 698 nm and at 398 nm respectively. The CIE color coordinate is (x=0.646, y=0.316) at 0.003 mole $Cr_2O_3$, which value is very close to the NTSC coordinate of red color. This characteristic feature of $Al_2O_3:xCr_2O_3$ has been applied for an additive to improve the color characteristic of other red phosphor $LiEuW_2O_8$ which has a relatively poor color purity with an emission peak centered at 615 nm and with a CIE coordinate (x=0.530, y=0.280). The $Al_2O_3:0.003Cr_2O_3$ phosphor has been mixed with the $LiEuW_2O_8$ phosphor powder and the PL characteristics and CIE color coordinates are characterized. The $Al_2O_3:xCr_2O_3$ phosphor was found effective for improving the CRI (color rendering index) of $LiEuW_2O_8$ phosphor.

Salinity gradient power (SGP) systems have strong potential to generate sustainable clean electricity for 24 hours. Here, we introduce a solid-salt pressure-retarded osmosis (PRO) system using crystal salt powders rather than seawater. Solid salts have advantages such as a small storage volume, controllable solubility, high Gibbs dissolution energy, and a single type of water intake, low pretreatment costs. The power densities with 3 M draw solutions were $11W/m^2$ with exothermic energy and $8.9W/m^2$ without at 35 bar using a HTI FO membrane (water permeability $A=0.375L\;m^{-2}h^{-1}bar^{-1}$). These empirical power densities are ~13% of the theoretical value.

The temperature difference between die and workpiece has been frequently caused to various surface defects. The distribution and change fur the temperature of forged part should be analyzed to prevent the generation of various defects related with the temperature. The surface temperature changes were affected with the interface heat transfer coefficient. Therefore, the coefficient is necessary to predict the temperature changes of die and workpiece. In this study, the experimental and FE analysis were performed to evaluate the coefficient with a function of pressure, temperature, material, and etc. The sealed die upsetting was used to measure the coefficient on pressure over the flow stress. AISI1045, Al6XXX, and Pure-Cupper were used to analyze effects according to the material. The coefficient was increased with step-up of pressure between die and workpiece. And, Al6XXX was larger than the AISI1045 and Pure-Cupper up to the five times.

In order to invetigate the effect of Pr additive on the magnetostriction of amorphous Fe-B alloys, amorphous $Fe_{86-x}B_{14}Pr_{x}(2{\leq}x{\leq}8\;at.%)$ alloys were prepared by a rapid solidification process. As the Pr content increased in the as-prepared amorphous $Fe_{84}B_{14}Pr_{2}$ alloy annealed at $300^{\circ}C$ for 2 hr increased to 70 ppm. Ac power loss and permeability$(f=50\;kHz,\;B_{m}=0.1\;T)$ of the annealed amorphous $Fe_{84}B_{14}Pr_{2}$ alloy were 15 W/kg and $5.5{\times}10^{3}$, respectively.

The drought index has been developed, based on a $8.6{\mu}m$ surface emissivity in the $8-12{\mu}m$ MODIS channels over the African Sahel region (10-20 N, 13 W-35 W) and the Seoul Metropolitan Area (SMA: 37.2-37.7 N, 126.6-127.2 E). The emissivity indicates the $SiO_2$ strength and can vary interannually by vegetation, water vapor, and soil moisture, as a potential indicator of drought conditions. In a well-vegetated region close to 10 N of the Sahel, the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) showed high sensitivity, while the emissivity did not. On the other hand, the NDVI experienced negligible variability in a poorly vegetated region near 20 N, while the emissivity reflected sensitively the effects of atmospheric water vapor and soil moisture conditions. Seasonal variations of the emissivity (0.94-0.97) have been examined over the SMA during the 2003-2004 period compared to NDVI (or Enhanced Vegetation Index; EVI). Here, the dryness was more severe in urban area with less vegetation than in suburban area; the two areas corresponded to the north and south of the Han river, respectively. The emissivity exhibiting a significant spatial correlation of ${\sim}0.8$ with the two indices can supplement their information.

본 연구에서는 기후 등의 영향을 받지 않고 레이더 산란 측정을 할 수 있는 X-band antenna 기반의 자동관측 시스템을 이용하여 벼 생육시기에 따른 후방산란계수와 벼 생육인자와의 관계를 분석하여 후방산란계수를 이용한 벼 생육인자를 추정한 것을 목적으로 하였다. 2008년도 국립농업과학원 시험포장 ($37^{\circ}$15'28.0"N, $126^{\circ}$59'21.5"E)에서 추청벼를 대상으로 생육시기별 후방산란계수를 관측하였는데 모든 편파별 후방산란계수가 벼 유수형성기 (7월 말경)까지 증가하다가 그 후 감소하다가 수확기가 가까워지는 9월 중순이후 다시 증가하는 dual-peak 현상을 보였고 특히 W-편파의 경우 9월 초순부터 후방산란계수 증가가 다른 polarization에 비해 크게 나타났다. 후방산란계수와 작물생육인자와의 관계를 분석한 결과 고주파수인 X-band는 상대적으로 바이오메스, 엽 면적지수와의 상관이 낮게 나타났지만 이삭 건물중은 VV-편파 후방산란계수와 상관관계를 보였다. 이삭 건물중과 상관관계가 높게 나타난 X-band의 W-편파 후방산란계수를 이용하여 수확기 이삭 건물중을 추정하였는데 VV-편파 후방산란계수와 이삭 건물중과는 결정계수 $(R^2)$가 0.85이었고, 이삭 건물중 실측값과 추정값을 비교해 본 결과 1:1 line에 근접하게 분포하였다 ($R^2$=0.85).

Surface modification by low-pressure ammonia ($NH_3$) plasma on commercial thin-film composite (TFC) membranes was investigated in this study. Surface hydrophilicity, total surface free energy, ion exchange capacity (IEC) and zeta (${\zeta}$)-potentials were determined for the TFC membranes. Qualitative and quantitative analyses of the membrane surface chemistry were conducted by attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (ATR FT-IR) spectroscopy. Results showed that the $NH_3$ plasma treatment increased the surface hydrophilicity, in particular at a plasma treatment time longer than 5 min at 50 W of plasma power. Total surface free energy was influenced by the basic polar components introduced by the $NH_3$ plasma, and isoelectric point (IEP) was shifted to higher pH region after the modification. A ten (10) min $NH_3$ plasma treatment at 90 W was found to be adequate for the TFC membrane modification, resulting in a membrane with better characteristics than the TFC membranes without the modification for water treatment. The thin-film chemistry (i.e., fully-aromatic and semi-aromatic nature in the interfacial polymerization) influenced the initial stage of plasma modification.

Ground-coupled heat pump (GCHP) systems utilize the immense renewable storage capacity of the ground as a heat source or sink to provide space heating, cooling, and domestic hot water. The main objective of the present study is to investigate the cooling and heating performance of a small scale GCHP system with horizontal ground heat exchanger (HGHE). In order to evaluate the performance, a water-to-air ground-source heat pump unit connected to a test room with a net floor area of 18.4 m2 and a volume of 64.4 m3 in the Korea Institute of Construction Technology ($37^{\circ}39'N$, $126^{\circ}48'E$) was designed and constructed. This GCHP system mainly consisted of slinky-type HGHE with a total length of 400 m, indoor heat pump, and measuring devices. The peak cooling and heating loads of the test room were 5.07 kW and 4.12 kW, respectively. The experimental results were obtained from March 15, 2011 to August 31, 2011 and the performance coefficients of the system were determined from the measured data. The overall seasonal performance factor (SPF) for cooling was 3.31 while the system delivered heating at a daily average performance coefficients of 2.82.

A new method for the production of isomalto-oligosaccharides from maltose was investigated using intact cells of Aureobasidium pullulaans which had been known to produce fructo-oligosaccharides. The cells showed transglucosylation activity producing isomalto-oligosaccharides at high concentrations of maltose, while they showed a hydrolytic activity at low concentrations of substrate when cultivated at $25^{\circ}C$. The optimum reaction conditions for the isomalto-oligosaccharide production were as follows: substrate concentration, 500g/l maltose; pH, 4.5; temperature, $65^{\circ}C$; cell dosage, 10 unit per gram substrate. Under optimized conditions, the maximum yield of isomalto-oligosaccharides achieved was around 48% (w/w). At the early period of reaction, panose was selectively produced from maltose, and thereafter isomaltotriose was synthesized by utilizing panose as a substrate when maltose consumption was discontinued.

This study is analyzed the effects of the number of use of aluminum form surface coating material on surface quality of concrete. The results can be summarized as follows. Surface roughness showed larger values with increase in the number of use. Values were larger in UP and AL compared to PE. While found to have bad influence on concrete surface quality, PA and W showed most excellent values for roughness. The number of surface pores increased with increasing number of use, and the number of pores on concrete surface was reduced by applying a remover. In terms of type of surface coating material, PA and W showed smallest number of pores in comparison to PE. In order to comprehensively improve surface quality of concrete, parallel use of PA coating material and remover is deemed most appropriate.
