The systematic variation of complex permeability and complex permittivity and their relationship with micro-wave absorbing properties are investigated in sintered Ni-Zn ferrites of non-stoichiometric composition. The specirrens of ${(Ni_{0.5}Zn_{0.5}O)}_{1-x}(Fe_{2}O_{3})_{1+x}$ spinels were prepared by a conventional ceramic processing technique. In the present study. complex permeability and permittivity can be controlled by the variation of ${\alpha}-Fe_{2}O_{3}$ contents in the spinel lattice. The primary effect of the excess ${\alpha}-Fe_{2}O_{3}$ is to increase the dielectric constant. while the notable decrease of magnetic loss is observed in the iron-deficient ferrites. The results suggest that the matching fre-queocyand matching thickness could be controlled by the variation of ${\alpha}-Fe_{2}O_{3}$ contents in the Ni-Zn ferrite.

Activity-guided separation for the aerial parts of Rodgersia podophylla A. Gray gave a new acylated flavonoid, quercetin 3-O-${\alpha}$-L-(5$^2$-acetyl)-arabinofuranoside (1), together with six known flavonoids (2-7). Their hepatoprotective activities were determined by using the primary cultures of rat hepatocytes injured by H$_2$O$_2$. Quercetin 3-O-${\alpha}$-L-(3$^2$-acetyl)-arabinofuranoside (3), kaempferol 3-O-${\alpha}$-L-rhamnopyranoside (5) and quercetin 3-O-${\alpha}$-L-rhamnopyranoside (6) exhibited hepatoprotective activities comparable to silybin at the concentration of 50 mM (45.7, 50.8 and 57.3 %, respectively), and the new flavonoid 1 showed hepatoprotective activity at the concentration of 100mM (50.1%).

The stability against DC accelerated aging stress of $Dy_{2}O_{3}-doped$ $ZnO-Pr_{6}O_{11}-based$ varistor ceramics was investigated. The calculated nonlinear exponent$(\alpha)$ in varistor ceramics without $Dy_{2}O_{3}$ was only 4.9, whereas the $\alpha$ value of the varistors with $Dy_{2}O_{3}$ was abruptly increased in the range of 48.8 to 58.6. The varistor ceramics with $Dy_{2}O_{3}$ content of 1.0 mol% exhibited maximum ${\alpha}$, reaching 58.6, whereas they exhibited very poor stability. While, The varistor ceramics doped with 0.5 mol% $Dy_{2}O_{3}$ exhibited not only the high nonlinearity, which the ${\alpha}$ is 55.3 and the leakage current is $0.1{\mu}A$， but also the highest stability, which the variation rates of varistor voltage and nonlinear exponent are -0.8% and -14.3%, respectively, under DC accelerated aging stress, $0.95 V_{1mA}/150^{\circ}C/24h$.

A novel dioscin-glycosidase that specifically hydrolyzes multi-glycosides, such as 3-O-${\alpha}$-L-($1{\to}4$)-rhamnoside, 3-O-${\alpha}$-L-($1{\to}2$)-rhamnoside, 3-O-${\alpha}$-L-($1{\to}4$)-arabinoside, and ${\beta}$-D-glucoside, on diosgenin was isolated from the Absidia sp.d38 strain, purified, and characterized. The molecular mass of the new dioscin-glycosidase is about 55 kDa based on SDS-PAGE. The dioscin-glycosidase gradually hydrolyzes either 3-O-${\alpha}$-L-($1{\to}4$)-Rha or 3-O-${\alpha}$-L-($1{\to}2$)-Rha from dioscin into 3-O-${\alpha}$-L-Rha-${\beta}$-D-Glc-diosgenin, further rapidly hydrolyzes the other ${\alpha}$-L-Rha from 3-O-${\alpha}$-L-Rha-${\beta}$-D-Glc-diosgenin into the main intermediate products of 3-O-${\beta}$-D-Glc-diosgenin, and subsequently hydrolyzes these intermediate products into aglycone as the final product. The enzyme also gradually hydrolyzes 3-O-${\alpha}$-L-($1{\to}4$)-arabinoside, 3-O-${\alpha}$-L-($1{\to}2$)-rhamnoside, and ${\beta}$-D-glucoside from [3-O-${\alpha}$-L-($1{\to}4$)-Ara, 3-O-${\alpha}$-L-($1{\to}4$)-Rha]-${\beta}$-D-Glc-diosgenin into diosgenin as the final product, exhibiting significant differences from previously reported glycosidases. The optimal temperature and pH for the new dioscin-glycosidase is $40^{\circ}C$ and 5.0, respectively. Whereas the activity of the new dioscin-glycosidase was not affected by $Na^+$, $K^+$, and $Mg^{2+}$ ions, it was significantly inhibited by $Cu^{2+}$ and $Hg^{2+}$ ions, and slightly affected by $Ca^{2+}$ ions.

The amplitude LSF(Line spread function, $C_1e^{{o^2}{x^2}}$ or amplitude impulse) of the Gaussian apodized annular pupil is found to be same to that of the full aperture LSF($C_0e^{{o^2}{x^2}}$). $C_0$ and $C_1$ depending on $\sigma$, ${\omega}_0=\frac{2{\pi}}{\lambda}\;\frac{a_0}{l}$ and ${\omega}_0'=\frac{2{\pi}}{\lambda}\;\frac{a_0'}{l}$ which are the geometric parameter and pupil coordinates of the annular pupil. The important inequality relation among ${\omega}_0,\;{\omega}_0'$, a (fraction of diffraction amplitude) and $\sigma$ is obtained. It is $\frac{{\omega}_0}{\sqrt{2}}<{\sigma}{\le}(\frac{1-a}{2a})^{1/2}\;{\omega}_0$, and in the case of $a=e^{-1},\;a_0'{\le}0.34a_0$. The case of λ=0.013${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, l=20 cm, $a_0=5cm$ and $a_0=0.34a_0=1.7cm$ give a Gaussian apodized superresolution ${\Delta}=\frac{\sqrt{log2}}{\sigma}=0.008{\mu}m$ annular pupil with the intensity signal equal to $e_{-2}$ times the signal obtainable by using the full aperture system(a=1)

Porous nanofibers comprising hollow ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ nanospheres were prepared by applying both template method and Kirkendall diffusion effect to electrospinning process. During heat-treatment processes, the solid Fe nano-metals formed by initial heat-treatment in the carbon matrix were converted into the hollow structured ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ nanospheres. In particular, PS nanobeads added in the spinning solution were decomposed and formed numerous channels in the composite, which served as a good pathway for Kirkendall diffusion gas. The resulting porous nanofibers comprising hollow ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ nanospheres were applied as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries. The discharge capacities of the nanofibers for the 30th cycle at a high current density of $1.0A\;g^{-1}$ was $776mA\;h\;g^{-1}$. The good lithium ion storage property was attributed to the synergetic effects of the hollow ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ nanospheres and the interstitial nanovoids between the nanospheres. The synthetic method proposed in this study could be applied to the preparation of porous nanofibers comprising hollow nanospheres with various composition for various applications, including energy storage.

[ $La_{0.5}Ce_{0.5}Co_{1-x}Cu_xO_{3-{\alpha}}$ ](X=0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5) perovskites were prepared by coprecipitation method at pH 7 or pH 11 and its catalytic activity of selective CO oxidation was investigated. The characteristics of these catalysts were analyzed by $N_2$ adsorption, X-ray diffraction(XRD), SEM, $O_2$-temperature programmed desorption(TPD). The pH value at a preparation step made effect on particle morphology. The smaller particle was obtained with a condition of pH 7. The better catalytic activity was observed using catalysts prepared at pH 7 than pH 11. The maximum CO conversion of 98% was observed over $La_{0.5}Ce_{0.5}Co_{0.7}Cu_{0.3}O_{3-{\alpha}}$ at $320^{\circ}C$. Below $200^{\circ}C$, the most active catalyst was $La_{0.5}Ce_{0.5}Co_{0.9}Cu_{0.1}O_{3-{\alpha}}$, of which conversion was 92% at $200^{\circ}C$. By the substitution of Cu, the evolution of ${\alpha}$-oxygen was remarkably enhanced regardless of pH value at preparation step according to $O_2$-TPD. Among the different ${\alpha}$-oxygen species, the oxygen species evolved between $400^{\circ}C$ and $500^{\circ}C$, gave the better catalytic performance for selective CO oxidation including $La_{0.5}Ce_{0.5}CoO_3$ in which Cu was absent.

From alumina powder and TEOS, $\alpha$-Al2O3/SiO2 composite powder for reaction-sintered mullite was synthesized by heterogeneous coagulation and surface coating, and investigated the mullitization reaction and sintering behavor of these powders. In $\alpha$-Al2O3/SiO2 composite powder prepared by heterogeneous coagulation, each alumina particles were surrounded by silica particles of 50~60 nm in size. And the alumina particles in composite powder prepared by surface coating were coated by uniform silica layer with thickness of 50 nm. In both methods, mullitization reaction was completed at 1$650^{\circ}C$ for 3h, and specimen sintered above 145$0^{\circ}C$ was about 95% fo the theoretical relative density. Mullite grains formed from the reaction with composite powders showed spherical shape with a size of 1~2${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$.
