The 22.9kV/630A superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) is developed by the KEPRI-LSIS collaboration group. This resistive SFCL uses three pairs of conduction-cooled current leads. When the SFCL system is in the fault mode. the current flows 20 times more than the steady state. Therefore. it is important that the current lead is designed to have the thermal stability in order to minimize the heat input of the cold-end. This paper presents the design and performance results of a pair of conduction-cooled brass current leads considering both cases that the SFCL system operates at the steady state and the fault current.

In this study, variations of the organic and nitrogenous compounds in wastewater were investigated in a single reactor with intermittent aeration. Over 90% of organic and nitrogen removals are accomplished with C/N ratio of 3 : 1 and 20/20 min of aeration/non-aeration period. Longer non-aeration period on the aeration/non-aeration cycle showed more stable nitrogen removal, showing various microbial community in the reactor. From PCR-DGGE analysis, it is conclusive that Dysgonomonas mossii strain Melo40, Eubacterium sp. oral clone JN088, Uncultured bacterium clone SPESB2_718, and Bacterium enrichment culture clone LE are related with the organics and nitrogen oxidation. Uncultured Acidobacteria bacterium clone AKYG487, Lactobacillus harbinensis strain FQ003, Erythrobacter litoralis strain Gi-3, Phytobacter diazotrophicus strain Ls8, and Mycobacterium sp. enrichment culture clone GE10037biofNNA are distinctly appeared under denitrification condition.

We investigated the damage of the TTL ICs which manufactured five different technologies by artificial microwave. The artificial microwave was rated at a microwave output from 0 to 1000W, at a frequency of 2.45GHz. The microwave power was extracted into a standard rectangular waveguide(WR-340) and TTL ICs were located into the waveguide. TTL ICs were damaged two types. One is breakdown which means no physical damage is done to the system and after a reset the system is going back into function. The other is destruction which means a physical damage of the system so that the system will not recover without a hardware repair. TTL SN74S08N and SN74ALS08N devices get a breakdown and destruction occurred but TTL SN74LS08N, SN74AS08N and 74F08N devices get a destruction occurred. Also destructed TTL ICs were removed their surface and a chip conditions were analyzed by SEM. The SEM analysis of the damaged devices showed onchipwire and bondwire destruction like melting due to thermal effect. The tested results expect to be applied to the fundamental data which interprets the combination mechanism of the semiconductors from artificial microwave environment.

A micropropagation system for black Locust(Robinia pseudoacacia) was established by using shoots and pin-punctured leaves of in vitro germinated seedlings. The greatest number of shoots (an average of 10.5 shoots) was obtained when shoot tips were cultured on MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/l BAP and 0.01 mg/l NAA. When pin-punctured leaf explants were cultured on the same medium, mean number of 13.5 shoots were produced. Shoot growth was accelerated by adding 50 mg/l of silver nitrate ($AgNO_3$), an anti-ethylene compound to the culture medium. Each shoot was excised from the mass and transferred onto half strength MS medium for rooting. Zygotic embryos at different developmental stages were cultured on LS medium supplemented with various growth regulators to induce somatic embryos. When cultured on LS medium with 1.0 mg/l 2,4-D. 14.3% of the zygotic embryos induced somatic embryos. Upon transfer onto the basal medium, somatic embryos sporadically converted into plantlets.

In this study, developments of an efficient visco-hyperelastic constitutive equation for describing the time dependent material behavior accurately in dynamic and impact loading and finding related materials constants are considered. Based on proposed constitutive model, behaviour of a hollow cylinder elastomer bushing under different dynamic and impact loading conditions is studied. By implementing the developed visco-hyperelastic constitutive equation to LS-DYNA explicit dynamic finite element software a three dimensional model of the bushing is developed and dynamic behaviour of that in axial and torsional dynamic deformation modes are studied. Dynamic response and induced stress under different impact loadings which is rarely studied in previous researches have been also investigated. Effects of hyperelastic and visco-hyperelastic parameters on deformation and induced stresses as well as strain rate are considered.

Synthesis and characterization of alkyl-capped nanocrystalline silicon (R-n-Si) have been achieved from the reaction of silicontetrachloride with magnesiumsilicide. Surface of silicon nanocrystal has been derivatized with various alkyl groups (R=methyl, n-butyl, etc.). Silicon nanoparticles have been also obtained by the sonication of luminescent porous silicon. Former exhibits an emission band at 360 nm, but latter exhibits an emission band at 680 nm. In this study very sensitive detection of TNT (2,4,6-trinitrotoluene), DNT (2,4-dinitrotoluene), NB (nitrobenzene), and PA (picric acid) has been achieved in gas phase with porous silicon using photoluminescence quenching of the silicon crystallites as a transduction mode. Porous silicon are electrochemically etched from crystalline silicon wafers in an aqueous solution of hydrofluoric acid. We have characterized these silicon nanoparticles by Luminescence Spectrometer (LS 55).

The dapD gene of Brevibacterium lactofermentum encoding tetrahydrodipicolinate N-succinyl transferase, one of the enzymes involved in lysine biosynthesis, was cloned by complementation of Escherichia coli dapD mutnat. The recombinant plasmid pLS1 was found to contain a 3.6 kb DNA fragment. Southern hybridization analysis confirmed that the cloned DNA fragment originated from B. lactofermentum. The data of L-lysine production showed that the B. lactofermentum dapD gene was expressed in E. coli.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate dogs' sociality toward human strangers in the absence of an owner by analyzing changes in dogs' behavior during a task of making eye contact with an experimenter to obtain snacks. A total of 17 dogs were divided into groups of high sociality (HS; n = 10, 4.4 ± 3.87 years) and low-sociality (LS; n = 7, 3.71 ± 2.06 years). A comparison of the average frequency of five behavioral types-fear-appeasement behaviors (P<0.001), sociability-related behaviors (P<0.001), stress-related behaviors (P<0.05), destruction (P < 0.001), and vocalization (P < 0.001)-between the groups showed a significant difference in all five categories. Together, these results suggest that dogs with high sociality are less exposed to various stresses and have a higher ability to adapt to new environments than dogs with low sociality. This can predict dogs' adaptability to a new environment and positive outcomes in their daily life with the owner.

Plant regeneration protocols for adventitious shoot organogenesis from apple (Malus domestica 'Fuji') leaf explants were developed in the present study. The effects of different basal media, types and concentrations of carbon sources, and concentrations of plant growth regulators were evaluated to determine the optimal shoot regeneration conditions for 'Fuji' apple leaf explants. On different treatments involving combinations of basal media, LS and N6 media, and different types and concentrations of cytokinins, 6-benzyl-adenine (BA) and thidiazuron (TDZ), shoot regeneration rates were the highest in the N6 medium combined with BA. Among the plant growth regulator and carbon source combination treatments, 5.0 mg/L BA, and 0.1 mg/L α-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) with 40 g/L sorbitol was the optimal combination for shoot regeneration. In addition, the optimal sorbitol concentrations for shoot regeneration were 40 g/L and 60 g/L. The highest regeneration (81.8%) was achieved using 40 g/L sorbitol. The regenerated shoots elongated and rooted on rooting medium, consisting of 1/4 MS medium with 0.2 mg/L indole-3-butyric acid (IBA). The plantlets were acclimatized and the regenerated plants exhibited normal phenotypes.

Uptake and distribution of labelled urea, $NH{_4}^+$, and $NO{_3}^-$ by Tongil and Jinheung rice grown with each nitrogen source until ear formation stage under water culture system were as follows. 1. When the previous nitrogen source was same as one tested the uptake rate ($mg^{15}N/g$ d.w. root 2hrs, at $28^{\circ}C$ light) was great in the order of $NH_4$ >urea> $NO_3$ and higher (especially $NH_4$) in Tongil than in Jinheung. Rate limiting step (slowest) seems to be exist at R (root)${\rightarrow}$LS(leaf sheath) for urea, LS${\rightarrow}$LB(leaf blade) for $NH_4$ and M(medium)${\rightarrow}$R for $NO_3$. The fast step of translocation appeare to be at M${\rightarrow}$R for urea R${\rightarrow}$LS for $NH_4$ and LS${\rightarrow}$LB for $NO_3$. 2. The uptake rate of $NH_4$ by the urea-fed plant increased almost linearly from $18^{\circ}C$ via $28^{\circ}C$ to $38^{\circ}C$ in Tongil ($Q_{10}$=1.21 and 1.32 respectively) while no change in Jinheung ($Q_{10}$=0.99 and 1.00 respectively). It decreased by 12% in Jinheung under dark but uo change in Tongil. 3. The uptake rate of nitrogen source by different source-fed plant was great in the order of $NH_4{\rightarrow}^{15}NO_3$ $NO_3{\rightarrow}^{15}NH_4$, $urea{\rightarrow}^{15}NO_3$ and higher (especially $NH_4{\rightarrow}^{15}NO_3$) in Tongil. In the case of $urea{\rightarrow}^{15}NH_4$ it was same in $NH_4{\rightarrow}^{15}NO_3$ for Tongil and slightly lower than that in $NO_3{\rightarrow}^{15}NH_4$ for Jinheung. It was lower (especially Tongil) in $NH_4{\rightarrow}^{15}NO_3$ than in $NH_4{\rightarrow}^{15}NH_4 $ 4. The uptake rate (in $NH_4{\rightarrow}^{15}NO_3$) was higher during 15 minutes than during 2 hours and always higher in Tongil. 5. $^{15}N$ excess % and content in each part, and uptake rate of root seems to have their own significance relatling with metabolism and translocation respectively. The change of nitrogen nutritional environment and source preference of varieties were discussed in relation to field condition and efficient use of nitrogen fertilizer.
