  • Complex organic molecules (COMs) are increasingly observed in the environs of young stellar objects (YSOs), including hot cores/corinos around high-mass/low-mass protostars and protoplanetary disks. It is widely believed that COMs are first formed in the ice mantle of dust grains and subsequently released to the gas by thermal sublimation at high temperatures (T>100 K) in strong stellar radiation fields. In this paper, we report a new mechanism that can desorb COMs from icy grain mantles at low temperatures (T<100K), which is termed rotational desorption. The rotational desorption process of COMs comprises two stages: (1) ice mantles on suprathermally rotating grains spun-up by radiative torques (RATs) are first disrupted into small fragments by centrifugal stress, and (2) COMs and water ice then evaporate rapidly from the tiny fragments (i.e., radius a <1nm) due to thermal spikes or enhanced thermal sublimation due to increased grain temperature for larger fragments (a>1 nm). We discuss the implications of rotational desorption for releasing COMs and water ice in the inner region of protostellar envelopes (hot cores and corinos), photodissociation regions, and protoplanetary disks (PPDs). In shocked regions of stellar outflows, we find that nanoparticles can be spun-up to suprathermal rotation due to supersonic drift of neutral gas, such that centrifugal force can be sufficient to directly eject some molecules from the grain surface, provided that nanoparticles are made of strong material. Finally, we find that large aggregates (a~ 1-100 micron) exposed to strong stellar radiations can be disrupted into individual icy grains via RAdiative Torque Disruption (RATD) mechanism, which is followed by rotational desorption of ice mantles and evaporation of COMs. In the RATD picture, we expect some correlation between the enhancement of COMs and the depletion of large dust grains in not very dense regions of YSOs.

  • Microalgae are of significant importance for future biotechnological applications. Many microalgae banks or laboratories attempt to maintain various microalgae for further research purposes. Cryopreservation has been preferred to reduce a labor-intensive and costly routine sub-culturing. Cryopreservation can also diminish the genetic drift risk. However, cryopreservation as a long term storage of microalgae method are still in developing progress because it cannot be generalized for all microalgae. Microalgae types, cryoprotectant agents (CPAs) types, freezing and thawing methods are the most important factors that should be considered for cryopreservation. In this short review the basic principles and the current advanced of microalgae cryopreservation methods are discussed with a suggested starting parameters for microalgae cryopreservation.

  • A marine geological investigation of the glass sand deposit in the beach along the west coast of Ahnmyeon Island, South Chung Cheong Province, Korea was carried out to solve the problen of sand material migration, textural properties of the sands and the glass sand reserve for future exploitation. Several bos coring analyses by means of the internal sedimentary structure.i.e., cross- stratification show significantly that most sands are moving and accumulation along the mean vector direction of $N20^{\circ}E-N60^{\circ}$ E in the area investigated. The average mean size of the sand sediments in the area studied ranges from 0.212mm to 0.275mm. The mechanism of sand migration in the area is considered to be interplay between longshore drift and flood tidal current. The sorting value of the sands ranges from 0.24 to 0.50. Therefore, these sand sediments are characteristic to be "well sorted". The average chemical composition of the glass sand in the area is the following: $SiO\_2$:-90.8%, $Al_2O_3$: -2.18%, $Fe_2O_3$:-0.73%, CaO:-1.79. The binocular microscope examination of the sands show that most of the sands are characteristically ice- clear quartz in mineral composition and their count percentage is mostly 92% or 96%.

  • 1981년 9월, 1982년 3월 및 1983년 4월에 한반도 남동해역 대륙붕에서 표층퇴적물과 부유물표품을 채취하였다. 부유물 함량 분포에 의하면 세립한 부유물질은 연안의 내 대륙붕에 국한되어 연안에 평행하게 대상으로 분포하여 현생의 세립퇴적물이 내 대륙붕 지역에 국한되고 있음을 시사하고 있다. 그러나 외 대륙붕과 붕단에 분포하는 사질퇴적물은 니질 함량(<5%)이 매우 낮다. 이러한 조립질 퇴적물은 해수면이 낮았던 (약 -152m${\pm}$) 플라이스토세 (Pleistocene) 빙기에 집적된 "잔류"퇴적물(고해빈퇴적물) 로 사료된다. 현세 해수면 상승에 따른 해침현상이 일어나고 해안선의 전진이 빠르게 일어나게 되어 외 대륙붕의 사질물질이 재 분포 되는 경우가 대단히 약하였으며 일시적으로 강한 연안류 등에 의해 현지성(in situ) 재동작용을 받았을 것이다. 결과적으로 해침현상에 따른 가장 큰 영향은 사립물질의 분급작용이 가속된 것이고, 최소한 세립물질이 제거 (winnowing out)되는 작용이 일어났을 것이다.

  • 최적의 선박 운항 항로를 찾기 위해서는 선박의 정확한 추진성능을 추정하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 본 논문은 선박 최적운항시스템의 추진성능 데이터베이스를 생성하기 위한 전산프로그램의 개발에 대해 기술하고 있다. 실해역에서의 추진성능은 표류와 표면 거칠기 등 선체 상태뿐 만 아니라 파랑과 바람 등 해상 상태의 영향을 받는다. 이 부가저항 추정 방법들은 ISO 15016:2002 표준의 실선 속력시운전 해석법을 근간으로 하고 있으며, 추가로 바람과 선체 표면 거칠기에 대한 몇 가지 추정 방법이 보완되었다. 이 추정 방법들은 종합적인 전산프로그램으로 만들어졌다. 그리고 향후 최적 운항경로 계산에 활용될 쇄빙연구선 아라온 호에 대해서 데이터베이스 계산이 수행되었다. 이 프로그램은 모든 선박의 항로 최적화 계산에 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
