This study was conducted to investigate the effect of culture temperature on the growth rate and protease activity of Antarctic microorganisms. The Antarctic microorganisms PAMC 25641, 25614, 25719 and 25617 were obtained from the Polar and Alpine Microbial Collection (PAMC) at the Korea Polar Research Institute. These microorganisms were confirmed for the excretion of protease on a plate with skim milk. The identification of microorganisms was carried out using the 16S rDNA sequencing method. PAMC 25641 showed the highest protease activity among the subjects tested, and PAMC 25617 exhibited the highest growth rate. The growth rates of the microorganisms were not affected by temperature, except for PAMC 25617. However, protease activities were increased for all strains in a temperature dependent fashion. These results suggest the possible application of Antarctic microorganisms for the efficient production of low temperature proteases.

Recently developed ferritic heat resistance steel, T24 was used to evaluate microstructure characteristics of simulated heat affected zone. Also, correlation between the prior austenite grain size and amount of $M_{23}C_6$ carbide dissolution was discussed. With the increasing of peak temperature, Grain size steadily increased up to $1050^{\circ}C$ and then rapidly increased at $1150^{\circ}C$. Of the peak temperature $950{\sim}1050^{\circ}C$, amounts of $M_{23}C_6$carbide dissolution are low. But Most of $M_{23}C_6$ carbide that is inhibited grain growth were dissolved above $1050^{\circ}C$ and decreased volume fraction of carbide. This indicates that grain growth may be achieved through dissolution of carbide in the base material. As of welding, due to very rapid heating rate, $M_{23}C_6$ carbide exists above equilibrium solution temperature that is $800^{\circ}C$, even at $1050^{\circ}C$. So, It was confirmed that close correlation between carbide dissolution in the base material and grain growth. Calculated grain size has a linear relationship with peak temperature, on the other hand, measured grain size discontinuously increased between $950{\sim}1050^{\circ}C$ and above $1050^{\circ}C$. Grain size of heat affected zone at $1350^{\circ}C$ peak temperature showed maximum 67um and minimum 4um. Also, The number of side showed 3 to 10.

The increasing demands for three-dimensional (3D) electronic and optoelectronic devices have triggered interest in epitaxial growth of 3D semiconductor materials. However, most of the epitaxially-grown nano- and micro-structures available so far are limited to certain forms of crystal arrays, and the level of control is still very low. In this review, we describe our latest progress in 3D epitaxy of oxide and nitride semiconductor crystals. This paper covers issues ranging from (i) low-temperature solution-phase synthesis of a well-regulated array of ZnO single crystals to (ii) systematic control of the axial and lateral growth rate correlated to the diameter and interspacing of nanocrystals, as well as the concentration of additional ion additives. In addition, the critical aspects in the heteroepitaxial growth of GaN and InGaN multilayers on these ZnO nanocrystal templates are discussed to address its application to a 3D light emitting diode array.

To improve sediment quality in eutrophic coastal areas using benthic microalgae, we examined the effects of temperature and salinity on the growth of benthic microalgae Achnanthes sp., Amphora sp., Navicula sp. and Nitzschia sp. isolated from Sujeong Bay, Korea, using batch cultures. The maximum growth rates were obtained under the combined temperature and salinity conditions of $25^{\circ}C$ and 25 psu for Achnanthes sp. (0.60 /day), $15^{\circ}C$ and 25 psu for Amphora sp. (0.56 /day), $20^{\circ}C$ and 30 psu for Navicula sp. (0.53 /day), $20^{\circ}C$ and 25 psu for Nitzschia sp. (0.48 /day). Considering these results of temperature and salinity conditions required for optimum growth (${\geq}$ 70% of maximum specific growth rate), Amphora sp. Navicula sp. and Nitzschia sp. were characterized as eurythermal and euryhaline species, while Achnanthes sp., which exhibited extremely low survival at low temperature. In conclusion, Amphora sp., Navicula sp. and Nitzschia sp. may be useful species for phytoremediation, to control eutrophication and hypoxic water and thus improve environmental conditions of polluted coastal areas.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of dietary energy levels on growth performance, blood parameter, and intestinal morphology of Pekin ducks in low temperature. A total of 500, 21-d-old Pekin ducks (initial BW = 1,089 ± 5.21 g) were evenly assigned to five dietary treatments (2,950, 3,000, 3,050, 3,100, or 3,150 kcal AME/kg, calculated on an as-is basis) with four replicates (pens) for each treatment (25 ducks per pen). During the experiment, hens were provided with feed and water ad libitum. Overall, increasing dietary energy levels corresponded to an increase of final body weight and body weight gain (linear, p < 0.01). Feed intake decreased (linear, p < 0.01) and feed conversion ratio increased (linear, p < 0.01) with increasing levels of energy. There were no significant differences (p < 0.05) in the level of leukocytes between groups. However, heterophils decreased (quadratic, p < 0.05) and lymphocytes increased (linear, p < 0.01) as inclusion of dietary energy levels increased. The H/L ratio increased (linear, p < 0.01) with increasing dietary energy levels while serum corticosterone levels decreased at overall experimental periods. Triglycerides increased (linear and quadratic, p < 0.05) with increasing dietary energy levels. There were no significant changes in villus height or crypt depth of the jejunum at overall experimental. In conclusion, increasing concentrations of dietary energy levels up to 2,950-3,150 kcal/kg in diet. Additionally, 3,150 kcal/kg dietary energy had been revealed more beneficial and could be practiced as protective management for the Pekin ducks reared under low ambient temperature (8℃ to 10℃).

An unusual long-period and heavy snowfall occurred in the Yeongdong region from 6 to 14 February 2014. This event produced snowfall total of 194.8 cm and the recordbreaking 9-day snowfall duration in the 103-year local record at Gangneung. In this study, satellite-derived cloud-top brightness temperatures from the infrared channel in the atmospheric window ($10{\mu}m{\sim}11{\mu}m$) are examined to find out the characteristics of clouds related with this heavy snowfall event. The analysis results reveal that a majority of precipitation is related with the low-level stratiform clouds whose cloud-top brightness temperatures are distributed from -15 to $-20^{\circ}C$ and their standard deviations over the analysis domain (${\sim}1,000km^2$, 37 satellite pixels) are less than $2^{\circ}C$. It is also found that in the above temperature range precipitation intensity tends to increase with colder temperature. When the temperatures are warmer than $-15^{\circ}C$, there is no precipitation or light precipitation. Furthermore this relation is confirmed from the examination of some other heavy snowfall events and light precipitation events which are related with the low-level stratiform clouds. This precipitation-brightness temperature relation may be explained by the combined effect of ice crystal growth processes: the maximum in dendritic ice-crystal growth occurs at about $-15^{\circ}C$ and the activation of ice nuclei begins below temperatures from approximately -7 to $-16^{\circ}C$, depending on the composition of the ice nuclei.
