The source regions of Asian Dusts (Yellow Sands) in the western part of China are investigated, and the soil samples are collected samples for approximately 15 days during the spring of 2005. Particle sizes of sediments are analyzed and compared with each other. These grain-size analyses from the source areas can be compared Particle sizes between loess deposits and desert sands in western part of China and desert areas show distinctive differences. Loess deposits are predominantly composed of fine sands and silts. The distinction between the final characteristics of Asian Dust particles arrived in Korea and characteristics during transportation can be recognized comparison with the Asian Dust particles collected where the dust particles settled down. The characteristics of Asian Dust particle sizes can provide the basic information regarding the transportation history from the source region.

Keys to the attainment of tailored properties in SiC ceramics are microstructure control and judicious selection of the sintering additives. In this study, three different strategies for controlling microstructure of liquid-phase-sintered SiC ceramics (LPS-SiC) have been suggested: control of the initial $\alpha-SiC$ content in the starting powder, a seeding technique, and a post-sintering heat treatment. The strategies suggested offer substantial flexibility for producing toughened SiC ceramics whereby grain size, grain size distribution, and aspect ratio can be effectively controlled. The present results suggest that the proposed strategies are suitable for the manufacture of toughened SiC ceramics with improved toughness.

In-situ collection experiments were performed to analyze inflowing sedilnents behavior as a basic study of topographical change in Nakdong River Estuary. Sediment rate and bed load flux ranged from 0.0004 to $0.472\;g/cm^2/day\;and\;0.0005\~1.7579\;g/cm^2/day$, respectively. The settling velocity of suspended particulate matter was estimated in tire range of $0.339\~1.010\;cm/sec$, The grain size analysis shows that surface sediments in backside of sandbar and bed load in front of dike have a similar grain size distribution. It is considered that the source of surface sediments in backside of sandbar were flowed in from Nakdong River. In order to verify the characteristics of inflowing sediments behavior, detailed surveys around Nakdong River Estuary need to be carried out, continuously.

Drawing and normalizing are efficient means for controlling strength, fatigue and machinability of free machining steel. Normally strength and machinability are conflicting properties which need to be optimized. In this study, the effects of normalizing temperature and reduction of area on strength, fatigue and machinability were investigated. Fine grains were generated at lower normalizing temperature and fatigue life was increased with decreasing grain size. Matrix was work hardened and elongated with increasing reduction of area. Inclusions also were elongated and cross-sectional area of inclusions along drawing axis was decreased. The effects of work hardening and grain size on fatigue life were significant, but only work hardening affected machinability. Shape and distribution of inclusions after drawing had little effect on fatigue life and machinability.

This is about the effects deoxidization, carbonization and alloying preparation on fine grain W, WC, and grade YG8 powder reduced by "yellow tungsten oxide" and "blue tungsten oxide". The result indicates that yellow tungsten has single composition and blue tungsten oxide has complex composition. With this feature, yellow tungsten oxide got better uniformity and concentration distribution on fine particle size W and WC powder than blue tungsten oxide's. The grade alloy YG8 that made of this W or WC powder has uniform alloy construction, concentrated WC grain distribution and better alloy properties.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of soil grain size and its distribution on soil-water characteristic. To do this, soil-water characteristic tests were conducted on Saemangeum silt using the axis translation technique. For comparison, the test was also conducted on Jumunjin sand. Using the test results, the soil-water characteristic curves (SWCCs) of Saemangeum silt and Jumunjin sand were predicted by Van Genuchten model. By comparison and analysis between two SWCCs, the silt shows higher values of matric suction, water content, and air entry value than the sand. On the other hand, the sand has higher values of Van Genuchten model parameters of ${\alpha}$, $n$, $m$ than the silt. It indicates that the SWCC is significantly dependent on the structure of soils. In other words, if a soil has relatively high grain size and poor grain size distribution curve, the values of saturated volumetric water content, residual volumetric water content, and air entry value are small, and the variation of volumetric water content is high in accordance with the matric suction variation, and consequently it shows a narrow range of funicular region.

Photosensitivity of silver halide emulsion depends on the properties of the microcrystals. Size, shape, grain distribution and chemical composition as well as the inner structure or the topography of the latent image specks affect on the optical properties and play an important role in the photographic process. In the present paper, a study on the sensitization of emulsion containing AgBrClI core/shell grains showed that for the given size, shape, halide content and crystal habit, under the optimal conditions the photosensitivity of the heterojunction type grains are different from that of the common regular grains. The optimal photosensitivity was obtained at the iodide content of 2.0 mo1%.

In grain oriented electrical steel process, hot band annealing has thought to be essential for obtaining good magnetic properties. New hot rolling method of heavy reduction in early hot rolling stage was applied to obtain good magnetic properties in GO process without hot band annealing. Hot rolling was carried out by varyinghot rolling reduction distribution along hot rolling pass. The heavy hot rolling reduction in rear stand improves the magnetic flux density in the case of no hot band annealing. The hot band specimens of the heavy reduction in front stand shows the elongated hot deformed microstructures in the center layer and strong {001}<110> texture.On the contrary, the heavily reduced specimens in rear stand shows the recrystallization in the center layer of hot band and strong {111}<112> and {110}<001> textures.

Objectives of this study are : 1) to utilize capillary theory and obtain pore-size distribution profiles from moisture-suction relationships using Laplace theory. 2) to investigate the behavior of Light Non-Aqueous Phase Liquids(LNAPLs) in the subsurface environment and to develop several predictive relationships which can be used to assess the effectiveness of various LNAPLs remediation technologies. The relationship to predict pore-size distribution function expressed in differencial equation is found by using capillary theory. Also, experiments are conducted to : the various LNAPLs subjected to vadose zone drainage, groundwater table drainage, waterflooding with surfactants. The experiments are performed with #2 heating oil, jet fuel. and kerosene. Several relationships have been derived describing the effect of various properties and process parameters on the LNAPL residual saturation.
