A simple molecular theory of mixtures is formulated based on the nonrandom two-fluid lattice-hole theory of fluids. The model is applicable to mixtures over a density range from zero to liquid density. Pure fluids can be completely characterized with only two molecular parameters and an additional binary interaction energy is required for a binary mixture. The thermodynamic properties of ternary and higher order mixtures are completely defined in terms of the pure fluid parameters and the binary interaction energies. The Quantitative prediction of vapor-liquid, and solid-vapor equilibria of various mixtures are demonstrated. The model is useful, in particular, for mixtures whose molecules differ greatly in size. For real mixtures, satisfactory agreements are resulted from experiment. Also, the equation of state (EOS) is characterized well, even the liquid-liquid equilibria behaviors of organic mixtures and polymer solutions with a temperature-dependent binary interaction energy parameter.

An approximate molecular theory of classical fluids based on the nonrandom lattice statistical-mechanical theory is presented. To obtain configurational Helmholtz free energy and equation of state (EOS), the lattice-hole theory of the Guggenheim combinatorics is approximated by introducing the nonrandom two-fluid theory. The approximate nature in the derivation makes the model possible to unify the classical lattice-hole theory and to describe correctly the configurational properties of real fluids including macromolecules. The theory requires only two molecular parameters for a pure fluid. Results obtained to date have demonstrated that the model correlates quantitatively the first- and second-order thermodynamic properties of real fluids. The basic simplicity of the model can readily be generalized to multicomponent systems. The model is especially relevant to (multi) phase equilibria of systems containing molecularly complex species.

Ti/Ni multilayered films (MLF) are ideal for neutron optics particularly in neutron guides and focusing devices. This system also possesses the tendency of amorphization through a solid-state reaction (SSR). This behaviors are closely related to the electronic structures and both magneto-optical (MO) and optical properties of metals depend strongly on their electron energy structures. Mutual inter-diffusion of the Tin and Ni atoms in the MLF caused by a low temperature annealing should decrease the thickness of pure Ni, as well as change the chemical and atomic order in the reactive zone. The application of the MO spectroscopy to the study of SSR in the MLF allows us to obtain an additional information on the changes in the atomic and chemical orders in the interface region. The optical one has no restriction on the magnetic state of the constituent sublayers. Therefore, the changes in magnetic, MO and optical properties of the Ti/Ni MLF due to SSR can be expected. To the best of our knowledge, the MO and optical spectroscopies were not used for this purpose. SSR has been studied in the series of the Ti/Ni MLFs with bilayer periods of 0.65-22.2nm and constant ratio of the Ti to Ni sublayers thickness by using MO and optical spectroscopies as well as an x-ray diffraction. The experimental MO and optical spectra are compared with the computer-simulated spectra, assuming various interface models. The relative changes in the x-ray diffraction spectra and MO properties of the Ti/Ni MLF caused by annealing are bigger for the multilayers with "thick" sublayers, or the SSR with the formation of amorphous alloy takes place mainly in the Ti/Ni multilayers with "thick" sublayers, while in the nominal threshold thickness of the Ni-sublayer for the observation of the equatorial Kerr effect in the as-deposited and annealed Ti/Ni MLFs of about 3.0 and 4.5nm thick is explained by the formation of amorphous alloy during the deposition or the formation of the nonmagnetic alloyed regions between pure components as a result of the SSR. For the case of Ti/Ni MLF the MO approach is more sensitive for the determination of the thickness of the reacted zone, while x-ray diffraction is more useful for structural analyses.structural analyses.

PLLA grafted Hydroxyapatite / polylactide (g-HA/PLA) composites were prepared by three grafting methods. The modified particles (p-HA) were dispersed more uniformly in the PLLA matrix than pure n-HA. The p-HA/PLLA composites exhibited better mechanical properties and thermal stability than the n-HA/PLLA composites. The composites also demonstrated improved cell compatibility due to the good biocompatibility of the HAP nanoparticles and the more uniform distribution of the PLLA-grafted HAP nanoparticles on the film surface. All of these results indicated that the p-HAP/PLLA nano-composites might have a promising medical application in bone repair and in bone tissue-engineering.

Two thermodynamic models were used to predict the partial molar volumes of solutes in supercritical carbon dioxide at infinite dilution: (1) the Peng-Robinson equation of state with various mixing rules including those based on $EOS/G^E$ (2) the Kirkwood Buff fluctuation integral with the hard sphere expansion (HSE) method. The Kirkwood-Buff fluctuation integral method, in which an equation of state for pure component and molecular parameters are required, produced better results especially near the critical point than the Peng-Robinson equation of state with the several mixing rules based an $EOS/G^E$. When the $EOS/G^E$ mixing rules were used, poorer results were obtained compared with the classical mixing rule and Kirkwood-Buff model.

In the pure Phragmites communis grassland in the lower course of Nakdong river, the seasonal changes of standing crop and productive structure, annual changes of the maximum standing crop, and annual net production were estimated. The maximum standing crop of the pure P. communis grassland is on mid-September, the maximum average daily productivity was $32.7g/m^2/day$ from June to July. The leaf area index of the pure reed grassland increased to July, and then decreased slowly. The logitudinal growth of above-ground parts of the reed grassland was maximum state, 320cm, on mid September. Annual net production was $3,399g/m^2/year$, and it suggests that grassland is stable. Productive structure of the pure reed grassland indicated that the distribution of leaf was concentrated on the upper parts according to the grassland maturation.

We investigated the electronic structure and magnetism of the (3d, 4d)-Pd alloyed c($2{\times}2$) monolayer systems, by use of the FLAPW band method. For comparison, pure 3d- and 4d-transition metal monolayers are also considered. We found that the antiferromagnetic configuration of pure V monolayers is sustained in the V-Pd alloy system, while the Ti-Pd alloy system is changed to antiferromagnetic configuration from the ferromagnetic state in pure Ti monolayer. The 4d TM (Mo, Ru, Rh)-Pd monolayers are found to be stable in ferromagnetic configurations. The magnetic moments of Ru and Rh atoms in Ru-Pd and Rh-Pd systems are almost same with those of pure Ru and Rh monolayers, while the magnetic moment of Mo atom is increased to $2.98\;{\mu}_B$ in Mo-Pd alloyed system from the value of Mo monolayer, $0.02\;{\mu}_B$.

In this paper, electrical and reliability properties of N$_2$O oxides, grown at the temperature of 95$0^{\circ}C$ and 100$0^{\circ}C$ to 74$\AA$, and 82$\AA$. respectively, using NS12TO gas in a conventional furnace, have been compared with those of pure oxide grown at the temperature of 850 to 84$\AA$ using O$_2$ gas. Initial IS1gT-VS1gT characteristics of N$_2$O oxides were similar to those of pure oxide, and reliability properties of N$_2$O oxides, such as charge trapping, interface state density and leakage current at low electric field under F-N stress, were improved much better than those of pure oxide. But, with increasing capacitor area. TDDB characteristics of N$_2$O oxides were more degraded than those of pure oxide and this degradation of TDDB characteristics was more severe in 100$0^{\circ}C$ N$_2$Ooxide than in 95$0^{\circ}C$ N$_2$O oxide. The improvement of reliability properties excluding TDDB in N$_2$Ooxides was attributed to the hardness of the interface improved by nitrogen pile-up at the interface of Si/SiO$_2$, but on the other hand, the degradation of TDDB characteristics in N$_2$O oxides was obsered due to the increase of local thinning spots caused by excessive nitrogen at interface during the growth of N$_2$O oxides.

Effects of the spherically shaped Ge and the rod-like carbon-coated Ge on the superconducting properties of $MgB_2$ were investigated. Pure Ge and carbon-coated Ge nano-powders were synthesized under the different amount of $CH_4$ (0 to 5 kPa) by using DC thermal plasma method. When the $CH_4$ was added ~100 nm sized Ge with a spherical shape changed to rod-like morphology with a diameter of ~30-70 nm and a length of ~400-500 nm. Also it was confirmed that thin carbon layers of a few nanometers were formed along the rod length and the agglomerated carbons were found on the edges of rods. Pure spherical Ge and Ge/C rods were mixed and milled with Mg & B precursor to form the doped $MgB_2$ bulk samples by the solid-state reaction method. Almost no change of $T_c$ was noticed for the pure Ge-added $MgB_2$, whereas $T_c$ was found to decrease with the Ge/C-added $MgB_2$ samples. It was found that the pure spherical Ge showed to have a negative effect on the flux pinning of $MgB_2$. However, Ge/C rods can enhance the flux pinning property of $J_c$ due to the coated carbon on Ge rods.

In this study we examine variations in the structure of perovskite compounds of LaBa₂Cu₂O₉, LaBa2₂CaCu₃O₁₂ and LaBa₂Ca₂Cu₅O₁₅ synthesized using the solid state reaction method. The samples' compositions were assessed using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis. The La: Ba: Ca: Cu ratios for samples LaBa₂Cu₂O₉, LaBa2₂CaCu₃O₁₂ and LaBa₂Ca₂Cu₅O₁₅ were found by XRF analysis to be around 1:2:0:2, 1:2:1:3, and 1:2:2:5, respectively. The samples' well-known structures were then analyzed using X-ray diffraction. The three samples largely consist of phases 1202, 1213, and 1225, with a trace quantity of an unknown secondary phase, based on the intensities and locations of the diffraction peaks. According to the measured parameters a, b, and c, every sample has a tetragonal symmetry structure. Each sample's mass density was observed to alter as the lead oxide content rose. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of the three phases revealed that different Ca-O and Cu-O layers can cause different grain sizes, characterized by elongated thin grains, without a preferred orientation.
