We investigated whether cadmium (Cd) toxicity affects phosphorus (P) concentration and growth of poplar, which might be related to the ectomycorrhizal associations. Populus ${\times}$tomentoglandulosa cuttings were treated with 0.1 mM and 0.4 mM $CdSO_4$ and inoculated with ectomycorrhizal fungus, Pisolithus tinctorius (Pt) and grown in autoclaved peat vermiculite mixture for five months under greenhouse conditions. Ectomycorrhizal plants showed significantly higher Cd concentration in leaves, stems and roots than in non-mycorrhizal plants. Likewise, P contents in leaves and roots of ectomycorrhizal plants were higher than those of non-mycorrhizal plants. Acid phosphatase activity in leaves of ectomycorrhizal plants, however, was significantly lower than that of non-mycorrhizal plants. 0.1 mM Cd significantly increased P content in leaves and stems of non-mycorrhizal plants. In spite of high P concentration, which is accompanied by lower acid phosphatase activity, plant growth was not improved by inoculation with P. tinctorius. Total plant dry weight was lower than the non-mycorrhizal counterpart. The results imply that this might be caused by the large amount of energy consumption to alleviate Cd toxicity resulted from high Cd accumulation in their tissues.

We have demonstrated the enhancement of the power efficiency and device lifetime of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) by introducing the ETL 1 / ETL2 (composite ETL) structure between EML and cathode and the HIL1 (composite HIL) / HIL2 between anode and HTL. Compared to reference devices retaining conventional architecture, novel OLED structure shows an outstanding EL efficiency that is 1.6 times higher (${\sim}4.5$ lm/w versus ${\sim}$ 2.71 lm/w for the reference device) and lower driving voltage $({\bigtriangleup}V>1V)$, but also a longer lifetime and smaller operating voltage drift over time. It is suggested in this work that the device performance can be improved by in-situ ohmic contact through novel electron controlled structure and reduction of charge accumulation in the interface through composite HIL

In this investigation, the accumulation mineralization and annual cycle of organic P has been studied in grassland ecosysterns of a Z japonica grassland and a M sinensis grassland on Mt. Kwanak. The basic models of the accumulation and mineralization for ash components of a grass-litter have been presented as the equations (1), (2), and (3). The equations (7)~(10) for organic P are derived from these basic concepts. There was a highty significant relationship between organic matter and organic P. The estimates between organic matter and organic P correlated very high significance. The parameter factors k or k' of mineralization of organic P for the Z. japonica and M sinensis asslands were k=0.412 or k'=0.292 and k=0.224 or k'=0.183, respectively. The time required for a cycle to be completed from organic P to inorganic P of 50, 95 and 99 % are 3.9, 16.7 and 27.8 years in the Z. japonica grassland and 4.1, 17.7 and 29.4 years in the M sinensis grassland. The annual P cycle formulae for mineralization were based on the equations (5), (11) and (12). Annual yields of mineralization for organic P in the steady state grasslands of Z. japonica and M sinensis were 0.407 and 0.504g /$m^2$, respectively.

TiN을 Cu의 확산방지막으로 사용하기 위해 많은 연구가 되어왔는데, 이 연구에서는 특히 X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)를 이용하여 TiN박막에서의 Cu의 확산현상을 연구하였다. TiN박막은 일반적으로 columnar grain을 형성하면서 성장을 하는데, 녹는점의 1/3에 해당하는 비교적 낮은 온도에서는 grain들의 경계를 따라 Cu가 확산함을 확인하였다. Atomic force microscopy(AFM)를 이용하여 grain의 모양을 관찰하였고, 이 grain boundary 를 통한 확산 현상을 연구하기 위하여, modified surface accumulation method를 이용하였 다. 연구 결과, TiN박막에서의 Cu의 grain boundary diffusion의 활성화 에너지 $Q_b$는 0.23 eV, Diffusivity $D_{bo}$는 $5.5\times10^{-12{\textrm{cm}^2$/sec의 값을 얻었다.

Microalgae are attracting much attention as promising, eco-friendly producers of bioenergy due to their fast growth, absorption of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and production capacity in wastewater and salt water. However, microalgae can only accumulate large quantities of lipid in abiotic stress, which reduces productivity by decreasing cell growth. In this study, the strategy was investigated to increase cell viability and lipid production by overexpressing S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) synthetase (SAMS) in the microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. SAM is a substance that plays an important role in various intracellular biochemical reactions, such as cell proliferation and stress response, and the overexpression of SAMS could allow cells to ithstand the abiotic stress and increase productivity. Compared to wild-type C. reinhardtii, recombinant cells overexpressing SAMS grew 1.56-fold faster and produced 1.51-fold more lipids in a nitrogen-depleted medium. Furthermore, under saline-stress conditions, the survival rate and lipid accumulation were 1.56 and 2.04 times higher in the SAMS-overexpressing strain, respectively. These results suggest that the overexpression of SAMS in recombinant C. reinhardtii has high potential in the industrial-scale production of biofuels and various other high-value-added materials.

Pollution, climate change, and waste accumulation are only some of the new problems that have arisen because of the exponential population growth of the past few decades. As the global population expands, managing municipal solid trash becomes increasingly difficult. This is by far the most difficult obstacle for governments to overcome, especially in less developed nations. The improper open dumping of trash, which is causing mayhem across the country, has two immediate effects: it contaminates groundwater and surface water. Air pollution and the accumulation of greenhouse gases are both exacerbated by the release of methane and other harmful waste gases. Leachate from the landfill leaks underground and pollutes groundwater. In most cases, leachate moves into the groundwater zone and pollutes it after forming in association with precipitation that infiltrates via waste. This has far-reaching effects on people's health and disturbs the natural environment. This review article critically examines the current state of Solid Waste Management (SWM), addressing both the highlighted concerns and the government management solutions that have been put in place to address these issues. In addition, the constraints, and difficulties that India will face in the future in terms of solid waste management and the role of models for such a system are discussed.

본 연구에서는 다이오드 소자의 온도 증가에 따른 C-V 특성을 분석하였다. 180 kHz 주파수 조건에서 온도는 300 K에서 450 K까지 50 K 간격으로 가변하였다. 측정 결과 reverse bias 영역에서는 커패시턴스의 온도 의존성이 없었으나, forward bias 영역에서는 온도가 증가함에 따라 동일 전압에서의 커패시턴스가 증가하였다. 이로부터 온도가 증가 할수록 소자가 반전(inversion) 상태에서 축적(accumulation) 상태로 빨리 전환함을 확인하였으며, 1/C2-V 그래프로부터 온도 증가에 따른 전위장벽(Built-in potential, Vbi) 감소를 확인하였다. 전위장벽은 0.63 V에서 0.31 V로 온도 상승에 따라 약 0.1 V씩 감소하였다. 이는 energy band diagram에서 p-type 영역과 n-type 영역의 energy band 차가 감소해 공핍층 영역의 폭이 좁아짐을 의미한다. 공핍층의 두께 감소로 다이오드 전류의 급격한 증가뿐 아니라 위에서 언급한 바와 같은 C-V 특성을 보였다. 이번 연구에서는 기존의 보편화 된 I-V 측정을 통한 다이오드 소자 분석과는 달리 온도 변화에 따른 C-V 분석을 통해 소자 내부의 전위 장벽 및 공핍층 폭 감소에 따른 소자 특성 변화를 분석하였다.

Energy cries and availability have funded extensive research and numerous conferences. So, the idea of adding slags and pozzolans such as flyash to portland cement or portland cement concrete is widely practiced because it helps to reduce cost and conserve energy, resources and the environment. Recently, Silicafume which is the industrial by-product of electric arc furnaces is also widely studied for achieving high strength concrete. It is the aim of this study to provide the fundamental data on the workability and engineering proper of high strength concrete containing flyash and silica fume comparing with plain concrete for the practical use and research data accumulation of a new technique for achieving high strength concrete.

Polyethylene, has long history and is widely used, was researched due to good electrical properties by many authors. But PE under stress has the critical defects of space charge accumulation and tree growth, so various methods such as catalyst, additives and blend to improve these problems have been execute, of which we selected blending method. As in our previous papers we investigated electrical conduction, dielectric and AC dielectric breakdown characteristics, we did DC dielectric breakdown characteristics in this paper. We selected pure LLDPE, pure EVA and LLDPE films mixed with EVA as specimens, which were mixed with the weight percentages of 50, 60, 70 and 80[wt%] to be thin film. DC applying voltage speed was 500[V/sec]. The relation between dielectric breakdown characteristics and the variations of super structure due to mixing was investigated, and especially trap level at amorphous region, threshold energy increment of conductive electron at free volume were considered.

Putrescine, spermidine, and spermine were found to persent in Methylobacterium extorquens AM1 growing on methanol, succinate, glucose, or nutrient broth as an energy source. Spermidine was found to be a major polyamine in cells growing on methanol or succinate, while putrescine to be the one in nutrient broth-grown cells. The overall content of polyamines in cells growing on glucose was less than that in cells growing on other substrates. Spermine was the most abundant polyamine in glucose-grown cells. Accumulation of polyamines in M. extorquens AM1 was maximal at the mid-exponential or early stationary phase during growth on each substrate. The effect of polyamines added into the medium on the polyamine composition in M. extorquens AM1 was variable. Each polyamine added into the nutrient broth medium was found to increase the amount of the respective polyamine in the cell. Exogeneously added polyamines had no effect on the growth of M. extorquens AM1.
