In this paper,we investigate a generalization of graph decomposition,called hypergraph decomposition.We show that a decomposition of a 3-uniform hypergraph Kv3into a special kind of hypergraph K43-e exists if and only if v≡0,1,2（mod 9）and v≥9.

An LPDTS(υ) is a collection of 3(υ - 2) disjoint pure directed triple systems on the same set of υ elements. It is showed in Tian's doctoral thesis that there exists an LPDTS(υ) for υ≡ 0,4 (mod 6), υ≥ 4. In this paper, we establish the existence of an LPDTS(υ) for υ≡ 1, 3 (mod 6), υ＞ 3. Thus the spectrum for LPDTS(υ) is completely determined to be the set {υ:υ≡0, 1 (mod 3),υ≥4}.
