Small angle light scattering and field emission scanning electron microscope have been used to quantify the kinetics of liquid-liquid separation behavior during water vapor(RH52%[$\pm$3%] at 27$^{\circ}C$) quenching (non-solvent induced phase separation, NIPS) of polysulfone/NMP/Alcohol and CPVC/THF/Alcohol, respectively. Time dependence of the position of the light scattering maximum was observed at polysufone dope solutions, confirming spinodal secomposition (SD). while CPVC dope solutions showed a decreased scattered light intensity with a increased q-valuel, indicating nucleation & growth (NG). For the each system, domain growth rate in the intermediate and late stage of phase separation decreased with increasing the number of carbon of alcohol used as additive (non-solvent). Also, in the early stage for SD, the scattering intensity with time was in accordance with Cahns linear theory of spinodal decomposition,[1-3] regardless of types of non-solvent additive.

The noise sources, structure-borne and/or air-borne, in machinery can be defined by their locations and strengths. However the locations of that noise sources are well known in many cases. In those cases, the problem can be defined as an inverse problem to known the strengths of the noise sources in the frequency domain, the modeling scheme is classified by thecoherent or incoherent source. This paper expands the basic concept to the case of the complex noise sources, in which the set of coherent and incoherent noise sources are matched with the noise of a real vehicle. The error factors in the experiment and the optimal number of the monopole sources to match the real suond filed are also investigated. The results of the noise source modeling of heavy machinery show that the incoherent and coherent/incoherent source models are applicable to the high frequency and the low frequency region, respectively. The noise source model also enables the noise source analysis to rank the contribution of real source group such as engine, T/M, exhuast, etc.

In this paper, we demonstrate that Common Mid-Point (CMP) cross-correlation gathers of multi-channel and multi-shot surface waves give accurate phase-velocity curves, and enable us to reconstruct two-dimensional (2D) velocity structures with high resolution. Data acquisition for CMP cross-correlation analysis is similar to acquisition for a 2D seismic reflection survey. Data processing seems similar to Common Depth-Point (CDP) analysis of 2D seismic reflection survey data, but differs in that the cross-correlation of the original waveform is calculated before making CMP gathers. Data processing in CMP cross-correlation analysis consists of the following four steps: First, cross-correlations are calculated for every pair of traces in each shot gather. Second, correlation traces having a common mid-point are gathered, and those traces that have equal spacing are stacked in the time domain. The resultant cross-correlation gathers resemble shot gathers and are referred to as CMP cross-correlation gathers. Third, a multi-channel analysis is applied to the CMP cross-correlation gathers for calculating phase velocities of surface waves. Finally, a 2D S-wave velocity profile is reconstructed through non-linear least squares inversion. Analyses of waveform data from numerical modelling and field observations indicate that the new method could greatly improve the accuracy and resolution of subsurface S-velocity structure, compared with conventional surface-wave methods.

본 연구에서는 편극 패턴된 강유전체 단결정 $LiNbO_3$ 기판에 광화학적 반응에 의해 금속(Au, Ag, Cu)나노입자를 표면에 선택적으로 성장하였다. 강유전체는 자발편극성의 특성을 지니고 있기 때문에 선택적으로 전압을 가하여 편극성의 역전에 의해 표면의 편극성을 선택적으로 패터닝이 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 주기적으로 양의 편극 영역과 음의 편극 영역이 패턴된 $LiNbO_3$ 기판을 사용하였다. 표면의 편극성은 압전소자반응현미경법(PFM)을 이용하여 확인하였으며, 극성은 R-V curve로 확인하였다. 금속입자는 금속입자를 포함하는 용액에 기판을 넣고 자외선을 조사하여 성장시켰다. 성장된 금속입자의 표면 분포 및 분석은 AFM을 이용하여 측정하였다. Ag 입자를 성장시킨 결과, (-z)편극 영역보다 (+z)편극영역에서 보다 많은 금속 나노입자들이 환원반응을 일으켜 나노입자를 형성하였으며, 경계영역 (inversion domain boundary)에 가장 많은 나노구조체가 형성되었다. Au 입자의 경우, (+z)편극영역이 (-z)편극영역의 표면보다 더 많은 입자가 형성되었지만 Ag입자처럼 편극영역의 경계에서 많이 증착되는 경향성은 보이지 않았다. Cu 입자의 경우 광화학반응을 거의 일으키지 않았으며, 편극영역에 따른 증착 경향성도 보이지 않았다. 이와 같은 결과를 증착된 금속 나노입자의 편극에 따른 표면분포를 강유전체 표면 극성에 따른 표면 밴드구조와, 각 입자가 지닌 환원전위와 전자친화도에 관련된 모델로 설명할 것이다.

A numerical study is made on the melting process of an unconstrained ice inside an isothermal ice-ball capsule. The unmelted ice core is continuously ascending on account of buoyancy forces. Such a buoyancy-assisted melting is commonly characterized by the existence of a thin liquid film above the ice core. The present study is motivated to present a full-equation-based analysis of the influences of the initial subcooling and the natural convection on the fluid flow associated with the buoyancy-assisted melting. In the light of the solution strategy, the present study is substantially distinguished from the existing works in that the complete set of governing equations in both the melted and unmelted regions are resolved in one domain. Numerical results are obtained by varying the wall temperature and initial temperature. The present results reported the transition of the flow pattern in a spherical capsule, as the wall temperature was increased over the density inversion point. In addition, time wise variation of the shapes for the liquid film and the lower ice surface, the time rate of change in the melt volume fraction and the melting distance at symmetric line is analyzed and is presented.

This work aims at examining the cellular uptake behavior of poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) nanoparticles derivatized with a protein transduction domain (PTD) using HeLa cells. For this purpose, $Tat_{49-57}$ peptide derived from transcriptional activation (Tat) protein of HIV type-1 was covalently conjugated to the terminal end of PLGA. Nanoparticles were ten prepared with the $Tat_{49-57}-PLGA$ conjugates by a spontaneous phase inversion method. The prepared particles had a mean diameter of ca. 84 nm, as measured by dynamic light scattering. The interaction of the Tat-PLGA nanoparticles with cells was examined by using confocal laser scanning microscopy. It was found tat Tat-PLGA nanoparticles incubated with HeLa cells could efficiently translocate into cytoplasm, while plain PLGA nanoparticles showed negligible cellular uptake. In addition, even at $4^{\circ}C$ or in the presence of sodium azide significant cellular internalization of Tat-PLGA nanoparticles was still observed. These results indicate that a non-endocytotic translocation mechanism might be involved in the cellular uptake of Tat-PLGA nanoparticles.

Transient/time-domain electromagnetic (TEM) soundings were carried out on reclaimed land, since the TEM sounding has good resolution of a conductive and thin overburden. The reclamation material is marine clay dredged from the seafloor, which is currently undergoing consolidation in the upper part of the dredged layer. The conductivity of the marine-origin clay is generally more than 0.3 S/m. The aim of the TEM sounding was to determine the depths of weathered and soft rocks overlain by thick and conductive overburden. The TEM responses were measured at delay times of 0.050-20.575 ms with a $30{\times}30$ m coincident loop array. Data from the TEM inversion and core logging indicate that the resistivities of the conductive overburden are less than 2 ${\Omega}$-m, while those of the weathered and soft rocks are 10-20 and 70 ${\Omega}$-m, respectively. The depth to weathered rock is 26-58 m and the depth to soft rock is 46-75 m.

The broadband receiver functions are developed from teleseismic P waveforms recorded at Wonju(KSRS), Inchon(IRIS), and Pohang(PHN), and are analyzed to examine the crustal structure beneath these stations. The teleseismic receiver functions are inverted in the time domain of the vertical P wave velocity structures beneath the stations. Clear P-to-S converted phases from the Moho interface are observed in teleseismic seismograms recorded at these stations. The crustal velocity structures beneath the stations are estimated by using the receiver function inversion method(Ammon et al., 1990). The general features of inversion results are as follows: (1) For the Inchon station, the Conrad discontinuity exists at 17.5 Km(SW) deep and the Moho discontinuity exists at 29.5 Km(NW) and 30.5 Km(SE, SW) deep. (2) The shallow crustal structure beneath Wonju station may be covered with a sedimentary rock of a 3 Km thickness. The average Moho depth is assumed about 33.0 Km, and the Conrad discontinuity may exist at 17.0 Km(NE) and 21.0 Km(NW) deep. (3) For Pohang station, the thickness of shallow sedimentary layer is a 3.0 Km in the direction of NE and NW. The Moho depth is 28.0 Km in the direction of the NE and NW. The Conrad discontinuity can be estimated to be existed at 21.0 Km deep for the NE and NW directions.

Transient electromagnetic (TEM) method is also affected by cultural and natural electromagnetic (EM) noises, since it uses part of the broadband ($10^{-2}$ to $10^5Hz$) spectrum. Especially, predominant EM noise which affects a moving transmitter-receiver TEM system is sensor motion-induced noise. This noise is caused by the sensor motion in the earth magnetic field. The technique for reducing the sensor motion-induced EM noise presented in this paper is based on Halverson stacking. This Halverson stacking is generally used in a time-domain induced polarisation (IP) system to reject DC offset and linear drift. According to spectrum analysis of the vertical component of sensor motion-induced noise, the frequency range affected by the motion of an EM sensor is less than about 700 Hz in this study. With the decrease of the frequency, the spectral power caused by the motion of a sensor increases. For example, at the frequency of 200 Hz, the spectral power of the sensor motion-induced noise is $-90dBVrms^2$ while the spectral power of the EM noise measured with a fixed sensor on the ground is $-105dBVrms^2$, and at the frequency of 100 Hz, the spectral power of the sensor motion-induced noise is $-70dBVrms^2$ while the spectral power of the EM noise measured with a fixed sensor on the ground is $-105dBVrms^2$. With applying Halverson stacking to an artificial noise transient generated by adding a noise-free transient to sensor motion-induced noise measured without pulsing, it is shown that the filtered transient is nearly consistent with the noise-free transient within a delay time of $0.5{{\mu}sec}$. The inversion obtained from this filtered transient is in accord with the true model with an error of 5%.

The small-loop electromagnetic technique has been used successfully for many geophysical qualitative investigations, particularly for shallow engineering and environmental surveys. Recently, various geophysical imaging methods based on numerical modeling and inversion have been tried in order to get more quantitative subsurface structure. However, conventional 2.5D small loop EM modeling takes a lot of time because responses should be calculated for several wave numbers and transformed into space domain. In this study, we developed a 2.5D HCP small loop EM modeling algorithm using extended Born approximation, which does not require transformation. Also, we checked its validity by comparison with other numerical results.
