Soil temperature is an important factor influencing crop growth. Within limits, a higher soil temperature will promote crop growth, especially in cool climate regions. Compost application can increase soil temperature, however the mechanism of increasing soil temperature remains unclear. We conducted a pot experiment to examine the effects of compost application on soil temperature and evaporation in a bare Andisol. Pots with compost (16㎏ m?²) had a higher soil temperature and less evaporation than pots without compost. The decrease in evaporation and the increase in soil temperature by compost application were significantly correlated. We conclude that compost application increases soil temperature by decreasing evaporation from the soil surface.

Polymer Light Emitting Diodes (PLEDs) with an ITO/PEDOT:PSS/PVK/PFO-poss/LiF/Al structure were prepared on plasma-treated ITO/glass substrates using spin-coating and thermal evaporation methods. The annealing effects of the PFO-poss film when it acts as the emission layer were investigated by using electrical and optical property measurements. The annealing conditions of the PFO-poss emission film were 100 and 200˚C for 1, 2 and 3 hours, respectively. The luminance increased and the turn-on voltage decreased when the annealing temperature and treatment time increased. After examining the Luminance-Voltage (L-V) properties of the PLED, the maximum luminance was found to be 1497 cd/m2 at 11 V for the device when it was annealed at 200˚C for 3 hours. The peak intensity of the PLED emission spectra at approximately 525 nm in wavelength increased when the annealing temperature and time of the PFO-poss film increased. These results suggest that the light emission color shifted from blue to green.

This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between the climbing up event of Luciola lateralis larvae and water temperature. In the laboratory condition, the larvae did not come out of water at constant temperature condition of 19.3 ± 0.3℃ and tried to climb up at varying temperature condition of 20~22℃ (mean temperature 20.9 ± 0.9℃) without success. However, they climbed up at constant temperature condition of 20.8 ± 0.6℃. The frequency of the larval climbing up was highest as 63.6% at 20~21℃. The most larvae climbed up at approximately 21℃ of average daily water temperature, In the natural condition, the larvae climbed up at 19.8~21.7℃ and the frequency of the larval climbing up was high as 80.4% at 20~21℃. The larval climbing up was also little observed at 19~20℃ at which no larval climbing up was found in the laboratory experiment. No larvae attempted to climb up when water temperature was below 19℃ and above 22℃. It took 18 days from climbing up of larvae to appearance of adults. In its habitat, the range of water temperature required for larvae to climb up is assumed to be 19.6~21.8℃ and the most suitable water temperature may be 20.4 ± 2.3℃. Therefore, the range of water temperature required for larvae to climb up is assumed to be 19.8~21.7℃, and the suitable water temperature range for larvae may be 20~21℃, and the most suitable temperature is thought to be 21℃.

본 연구는 고온과 고습 조건 하에서 양파 화구의 총 단백질 발현과 원형질막 H+ATPase 영향을 조사하고자 조생종 '신선황'과 중생종 '맵시황'를 이용하여 실험을 수행하였다. '신선황'과 '맵시황' 품종의 양파 회구 개화전, 반개화, 그리고 만개 단계에서 단백질의 양생에는 차이를 보이지 않았지만 결실 단계에서는 유도 및 비유도되는 단백질이 현저하게 나타났다. 양파 화구 개화 후 실시한 고온과 고습처리 18일째의 양파두 품종의 단벡질도 현저하게 감소하였고 특히 고온처리구에서 더 감소되는 경향을 보였다. 원형절막 H+ATPase 발현을 western-blot으로 살펴본 결과, '신선황' 과 '맵시황'의 경우 대조구에서 원형질막 H+ATPase 단백질 발현이 유지 되는 반면에, 고온처리구에서는 두품종 모두 원형질막 H+ATPase가 발현 되지 않았다. 고습처리구에서 중생종 '맵시황'약 원형질막 H+ATPase는 발현 되었는데 조생종 '신선황'에서 발현되지 않았다. 이는 양파 종자 성숙단계에서 고온 조건을 조우하면 고습처리 보다는 단백질 및 원형질막의 H+ATPase피해가 더 심각함을 보여 주는 결과이다.

동절기 산취(Chamecereus silvestrii) ‘희망’의 주·야 온도를 달리하며 처리한 결과 초장은 주간온도 20oC와 야간온도 15oC에서 가장 크게 나타났다. 구경은 주간온도 25oC에서 구직경과 구고의 생육이 우수하였고, 주간온도 25oC에서는 모든 야간온도에서 구직경 생육이 양호하였으며 구고는 주간온도 25oC에서는 20oC에 비해 야간온도가 25oC로 높을수록 생육이 좋았다. 주·야간온도 조합의 합산온도가 높을수록 구직경과 구고신장이 증가하는 경향을 나타났다. 색도에서 Hunter ‘a’ 값은 야간온도가 높을수록 낮아졌으나 ‘b’ 값은 높아져 야간온도가 높으면 탁도가 증가하였다. 또 한 구직경과 구고변화의 증가가 다시 시작되는 기점은 정 식 후 15일로 나타났다.

콘크리트에서 강도는 콘크리트의 물리적 특성을 평가할 수 있는 중요한 인자중 하나이며 압축강도의 경우 실험의 편리함과 범용성으로 인해 널리 사용되고 있다. 콘크리트는 재료와 양생조건 등에 따라 압축강도가 달라지며, 특히 동일 재료라 하더라고 양생조건에 따라 강도는 변한다. 그러므로 현장에서 시공한 콘크리트의 강도를 알기위해서는 현장과 동일한 양생조건에 놓여야만 정확하게 강도를 측정할 수 있다. 그러나 현실적으로 밤낮으로 변화하는 현장의 양생조건을 실내에서 묘사하기란 쉽지가 않다. 또한 실제 콘크리트 포장의 강도를 측정하기 위해 포장체에 코어를 뚫기 때문에 손상이 가해지는 걸 피할수는 없다. 이러한 한계를 극복하기 위해 이미 비파괴 기법에 대한 다양한 연구가 진행되어 왔으며 그중 탄성파를 이용해 이미 콘크리트의 압축강도와 탄성파 속도와의 상관관계가 높음이 입증되었다. 본 연구에서는 양생조건에 따른 압축강도와 전단파 속도의 상관성을 분석하기 위해 동일 시멘트 페이스트를 3가지 서로 다른 양생온도에서 재령별 압축강도와 탄성파 속도의 변화를 측정했으며, 이 두 변수간의 상관관계를 파악하였다. 그 결과 양생온도는 재령별 압축강도증진과 탄성파 속도증가에 각각 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으나, 압축강도와 전단파 속도와의 상관관계에는 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다.

Niobium powder was made from potassium heptafluoroniobite () as the raw material using sodium (Na) as a reducing agent based on the hunter process. The apparatus for the experiment was designed and built specifically for the present study. The niobium particle size greatly increased as the reduction temperature increased from to . The particle size was fairly uniform, varying from to depending on the reduction temperatures. The niobium powder morphology and particle size are very sensitive to a reaction temperature in the metallothermic reduction process. The yield of niobium powder increased from 55% to 80% with a increasing a reaction temperature.

For the fabrication of core-shell structure bimetallic lead-free solder balls, both the critical temperature (Tcr) for the phase separation of two immiscible liquid phases and the temperature coefficient of the interfacial tension between the two separated liquid phases are required. In order to obtain this information, the temperature dependence of the surface tension of 60%Bi-24%Cu-16%Sn(-REM) alloys was measured using the constrained drop method. The slope of the temperature dependence of the surface tension changed clearly at a critical temperature for the separation of two immiscible liquid phases. The critical temperature of the 60%Bi-24%Cu-16%Sn alloy was estimated to be 1097K. An addition of 0.05% Ce decreased the critical temperature to 1085K, whereas that of 0.05% La increased it to 1117K. It was found that the surface tension and its temperature coefficient of the 60%Bi-24%Cu-16%Sn alloy were slightly increased by the addition of 0.05% Ce and 0.05% La. In addition, additions of Ce and La increased the temperature coefficient of the interfacial tension.

Transparent Sn-doped In2O3 (ITO) single-layer and ITO/Au/ITO multilayer films were deposited onglass substrates by reactive magnetron sputtering to compare the properties of the films. They were thenannealed in a vacuum of 1×10-2 Pa at temperatures ranging from 150 to 450oC for 20 min to determinethe effect of the annealing temperature on the properties of the films. As-deposited 100nm thick ITO filmsexhibit a sheet resistance of 130Ω/□ and optical transmittance of 77% at a wavelength length of 550nm. Byinserting a 5nm-thick Au layer in ITO/metal/ITO (IMI) films, the sheet resistance was decreased to as lowas 20Ω/□ and the optical transmittance was decreased to as little as 73% at 550nm. Post-deposition annealingof ITO/Au/ITO films led to considerably lower electrical resistivity and higher optical transparency. In the X-ray diffraction pattern, as-deposited ITO films did not show any diffraction peak, whereas as-deposited ITO/Au/ITO films have Au (222) and In2O3 (110) crystal planes. When the annealing temperature reached the 150- 450oC range, the both diffraction peak intensities increased significantly. A sheet resistance of 8Ω/□ and anoptical transmittance of 82% were obtained from the ITO/Au/ITO films annealed at 450oC.

The yield stress of stirred yogurt was measured by the vane viscometer at different pre-shearing conditions, such as pre-shear speed, pre-shear time, and wait time, and temperature (12-38oC). The yield stress ranged from ~17.6 to 10 Pa and from 34.2 to 11.9 Pa, depending on the pre-shearing conditions and temperature, respectively. The preshear speed and the wait time significantly affected the yield stress. The temperature dependence of the yield stress was described by the Eyring’s kinetic model. The linear function of the temperature on the yield stress was limited at the 22oC, and at the above 22oC, the yield stress was maintained to be a constant (~12.5 Pa).

Silicon dioxide as gate dielectrics was grown at 400˚C on a polycrystalline Si substrate by inductively coupled plasma oxidation using a mixture of O2 and N2O to improve the performance of polycrystalline Si thin film transistors. In conventional high-temperature N2O annealing, nitrogen can be supplied to the Si/SiO2 interface because a NO molecule can diffuse through the oxide. However, it was found that nitrogen cannot be supplied to the Si/SiO2 interface by plasma oxidation as the N2O molecule is broken in the plasma and because a dense Si-N bond is formed at the SiO2 surface, preventing further diffusion of nitrogen into the oxide. Nitrogen was added to the Si/SiO2 interface by the plasma oxidation of mixtures of O2/N2O gas, leading to an enhancement of the field effect mobility of polycrystalline Si TFTs due to the reduction in the number of trap densities at the interface and at the Si grain boundaries due to nitrogen passivation.

Temperature is an important inorganic factor which affects on every aspect in life of phytoseiid mites in general including N. californicus in this study. Cumulative and short-term effects of temperature through different life stages (immature, mating and oviposition periods) on mating duration and total fecundity of N. californicus were investigated at temperatures of 18, 25, 30 and 350C with a photoperiod of 16L:8D. Throughout experiments, females mated once and egg production was observed until they stop oviposition.

The effect of silver nanoparticles (NPs) incorporation on the electronic properties of poly (3, 4-ethylenedioxythiphene) : poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT : PSS) films was investigated. The surface of silver NPs was stabilized with trisodium citrate to control the size of silver NPs and prevent their aggregation. We obtained ca. 5 nm sized silver NPs and dispersed NPs in PEDOT : PSS solution. Sheet resistance, surface morphology, bonding state, and work function values of the PEDOT : PSS films were modified by silver NPs incorporation as well as annealing temperature. Sodium in silver NPs solution could lead to a decrease of work function of PEDOT : PSS; however, large content of silver NPs have an effect on the increase in work function, resulting from charge localization on the silver NPs and a decrease in the number of charge-trapping-related defects by chemical bond formation.

Temperature dependent development of Tetranychus. urticae Koch was studied on the leaf of eggplant at 17, 22, 27, 32 and 37℃, T. urticae showed a minimum mortality at 27℃ and it increased at higher or lower temperatures than 27℃. The hatchability was low at 17 and 37℃. The duration of development decreased with increasing temperatures i.e., 5.3d at 37℃ and 25.8d at 17℃. Linear regression analysis of temperature vs. rate of development yielded the higher r² ≥ 0.88 resulting in a good fit of the estimated line in the range of 17~37℃. Developmental zero temperature was 12.5℃ for the entire immature stage of female and 12.8℃ for that of male. Thermal constants were 80.5 and 74.7 degree days for those of female and male, respectively. Adult life span and oviposition period decreased with increasing temperatures. The number of eggs laid per female peaked at 141.0 eggs at 27℃, while that was a minimum 78.0 eggs at 37℃. Rate of hatchability, ratio of female, and R₀ were increased up to 27℃, and than declined thereafter. Intrinsic rate of natural increase (Rm) increased with rising temperatures and showed a maximum 0.5652 at 37℃. Also, λ increased with increasing temperature. Doubling time (Dt) and generation time (T) decreased with increasing temperature.

화장품과 유처리제 등에 응용할 수 있는 양이온 계면활성제인 N-octadecyl pyridinium bromide를 사용하여 온도 40~60℃ 범위에서 적하법을 이용한 임계미셀농도를 적용 미셀형성에 따른 열역학적 특성(자유에너지, 엔탈피, 엔트로피, 열용량)을 조사하였다. 그 결과 자유에너지 변화는 온도가 증가함에 따라 감소함을 알 수 있었다.
