  • Previous researches on the analysis of algae concentration were restricted to applying single-valued decay coefficient during simulation period, and the accuracy as well as the applicability were severely challenged. In this study, an equivalent tracking method of decay coefficient was proposed by introducing the time-series decay coefficients and restart option. Dye module in EFDC model was employed to route the temporal variation of Chl-a concentration. It was shown that the simulation results can be significantly improved up to 46% when the equivalent tracking method was activated.

  • InP/InGaP quantum structures (QSs) grown on GaAs substrates by a migration-enhanced molecular beam epitaxy method were studied as a function of growth temperature (T) using photoluminescence (PL) and emission-wavelength-dependent time-resolved PL (TRPL). The growth T were varied from $440^{\circ}C$ to $520^{\circ}C$ for the formation of InP/InGaP QSs. As growth T increases from $440^{\circ}C$ to $520^{\circ}C$, the PL peak position is blue-shifted, the PL intensity increases except for the sample grown at $520^{\circ}C$, and the PL decay becomes fast at 10 K. Emission-wavelength-dependent TRPL results of all QS samples show that the decay times at 10 K are slightly changed, exhibiting the longest time around at the PL peak, while at high T, the decay times increase rapidly with increasing wavelength, indicating carrier relaxation from smaller QSs to larger QSs via wetting layer/barrier. InP/InGaP QS sample grown at $460^{\circ}C$ shows the strongest PL intensity at 300 K and the longest decay time at 10 K, signifying the optimum growth T of $460^{\circ}C$.

  • Ergosterol involves in fungal cell growth as a major component in fungal cell membranes. It can be an indicator that shows the fungal activity, and its content depends on the fungal strains, culture, growth conditions and so on. In this study, fungal activities and growth patterns of three white-rot fungi strains isolated in Korea were evaluated by determination of ergosterol contents during the incubation. Wood decay test and chemical analyses of wood were also performed to verify the relationship between fungal activity and wood degrading capacity of white-rot fungi for 60 days. In the results of experiments, it is considered that the test strains selectively degrade large amount of lignin in wood at the early stage of decay. Especially, Phanerochaete chrysosporium showed the best capability on selective degradation of lignin among the test fungi. It is suggested that the determination of ergosterol content in the fungal culture during the incubation is the simple and effective screening method of white-rot fungi for the application to biopulping of wood.

  • In this paper, dispersion-managed optimal link configuration with the growth/decay distribution of accumlative dispersion as the fiber span is increased, in which optical phase conjugator placed at midway, is proposed. It is confirmed that if net residual dispersion set to be -15 ps/nm or 15 ps/nm in the proposed optical link configuration, the best compensation of the distorted wavelength division multiplexed channels will be obtained.

  • We investigated the antifungal activities of an endophytic fungus identified as Acaromyces ingoldii, found on a loblolly (Pinus taeda L.) pine bolt in Louisiana during routine laboratory microbial isolations. The specific objectives were to determine the inhibitory properties of A. ingoldii secondary metabolites (crude extract) on the mycelial growth of a brown-rot fungus Gloeophyllum trabeum and a white-rot fungus Trametes versicolor, and to determine the effective concentration of A. ingoldii crude preparation against the two decay fungi in vitro. Results show the crude preparation of A. ingoldii from liquid culture possesses significant mycelial growth inhibitory properties that are concentration dependent against the brownrot and white-rot fungi evaluated. An increase in the concentration of A. ingoldii secondary metabolites significantly decreased the mycelial growth of both wood decay fungi. G. trabeum was more sensitive to the inhibitory effect of the secondary metabolites than T. versicolor. Identification of specific A. ingoldii secondary metabolites, and analysis of their efficacy/specificity warrants further study. Findings from this work may provide the first indication of useful roles for Acaromyces species in a forest environment, and perhaps a future potential in the development of biocontrol-based wood preservation systems.

  • We have observed the red and blue luminescence from porous silicon (PS) without any rapid thermal oxidation. Aged porous silicon specimens prepared in dilute HF concentration, especially for the short duration of etching, display the increase of the blue band. The measured luminescence decay time at room temperature exhibits a decay time of about 100 ps and shows appreciably faster decay time than that of 20 K. No photoluminescence (PL) peak maximum shift is observed for the blue PL band at 77 K. However, the red PL band shows the blue shift and displays yellow luminescence at 77 K. The origin of red luminescence has some properties related to Si crystallites, whereas blue luminescence seems to be associated other than Si crystallites.

  • The steady state and decay characteristics of primary fluorescence of twelve clones of phytoplankton were investigated in vivo. At 380-435nm region, intense fluorescence emission spectra were obtained from the all phytoplankton, examined', The primary fluorescence of phytoplankton in different growth states was examined In order to find out fluorophores for the observed fluorescence, eight different pteridine derivatives in phosphate buffer solution were examined for their fluorescence characteristics and compared with those of phytoplankton. Fluorescence lifetimes $(\tau)$ and decay curves were compared with standard solution of candidate organic compounds. Decay kinetics of observed fluorescence were shown as hi- and tri-exponential decay curves with 430nm cut-off filter for phytoplankton. Comparison between fluorescence characteristics of bacteria and phytoplankton showed distinct differences for their steady state fluorecence spectra and decay kinetics.
