To visualize the characteristics of vertical seawater temperature data, in the ocean having 3D spatial characteristics, 2D thematic maps like horizontal seawater temperature distribution map at each depth layer and 3D volume model using 3D spatial interpolation are used. Although these methods are useful to understand oceanographic phenomena visually, there is a limit to analyze the spatial pattern of vertical temperature distribution or the relationship between vertical temperature characteristics and other oceanic factors (seawater chemistry, marine organism, climate change, etc). Therefore, this study aims to determine the spatial distribution characteristics of vertical temperature profiles in the South Sea of Jeju by quantifying the characteristics of vertical temperature profiles by using an algorithm that can extract the thermocline parameters, such as mixed layer depth, maximum temperature gradient and thermocline thickness. For this purpose spatial autocorrelation index (Moran's I) was calculated including mapping of spatial distribution for three parameters representing the vertical temperature profiles. Also, after grouping study area as four regions by using cluster analysis with three parameters, the characteristics of vertical temperature profiles were defined for each region.

This study deals with free vibrations of laminated composite structures with a channel section using finite element method. In this paper, the mixed finite element method using Lagrangian and Hermite interpolation functions is adopted and a high-order plate theory is used to analyze laminated composite non-prismatic folded plates with a channel section more accurately for free vibration. The theory accounts for parabolic distribution of the transverse shear stress and requires no shear correction factors supposed in the first-order plate theory. An 32×32 matrix is assembled to transform the system element matrices from the local to global coordinates using a coordinate transformation matrix, in which an eighth drilling degree of freedom (DOF) per node is appended to the existing 7-DOF system. The results in this study are compared with those of available literatures for the conventional and first-order plate theory. Sample studies are carried out for various layup configurations and length-thickness ratio, and geometric shapes of plates. The significance of the high-order plate theory in analyzing complex composite structures with a channel section is enunciated in this paper.

Ternary and quaternary alloys composed of Mo-Ru-Rh-Pd were prepared and their crystal structure and quantitative chemical compositions were analysed by XRD, WDX, EDX and ICP/AES. The results of X-ray diffraction studies showed that the alloys were crystallized in hexagonal close packing, well known as ${\varepsilon}$-phase with $P6_3/mmc$ of space group. The optimum accelerating voltage for Zr~Cd(40~48) analyzed by EPMA using PET crystal was found to be 15 kV and the linear regression coefficient(R) of atomic number and X-ray intensity was approximately 0.998 without Tc standard specimen. The WDX results of alloys of Mo and Pd by linear regression equations were detected to be 0.1% lower compared to WDX analysis results using standard specimen, while Ru, Rh were detected 3% higher. These alloys were completely dissolved in mixed acid of 12.5 mL HCl and 1 mL $HNO_3$, at $220^{\circ}C$ for 22 hours using autoclave with PTFE vessel. There was no reprecipitating phenomnon when diluted 100 times with 1N-HCl. The results of ICP/AES analysis deviated less than 4% comparing with those of normal WDX analysis.
