Zr의 ${\beta}{\to}{\alpha}$ 상변태 특성에 미치는 Sn과 Nb 첨가의 영향을 광학현미경과 전자현미경을 이용하여 연구하였다. 공냉한 Zr의 미세구조는 첨가된 합금원소의 종류에 관계없이 모두 미세한 ${\alpha}$-lath 폭이 일정하였으나, Nb의 첨가량이 증가할수록 ${\alpha}$-lath 폭이 감소하였으며, 이는 Nb 첨가에 따른 ${\beta}{\to}{\alpha}$+${\beta}$변태온도의 저하에 기인한 것으로 보인다. Martensitic 변태 특성을 나타낸 수냉의 경우에는 순수한 Zr과 Sn을 첨가한 경우에는 slipped martensite의 특성을 나타낸 반면에, Nb을 첨가한 경우에는 급격한 Ms 온도의 감소에 따라 twinned martensite의 특성을 나타내었다.

기계적 합금화 공정을 이용하여 열전재료$FeSi_2$분말을 제조하여 열간압축법을 사용하여 성형하였다. 열간압축 성형된 $FeSi_2$는 열전특성을 나타내는 $\beta$-$FeSi_2$ 상 및 상변태가 완료되지 않은 $\alpha$-$Fe_2$$Si_{5}$와 $\varepsilon$-FeSi의 혼합상으로 이루어져 있음이 확인되었다. 열전재료로의 $\beta$-$FeSi_2$ 상변태 유도를 위해 항온열처리를 행하여 상변태 조건을 조사하였다. SEM, TEM, XRD, DTA 등을 이용하여 상변태 거동을 분석한 결과, $830^{\circ}C$에서 24시간 진공 항온열처리 후 단상의 $\beta$-FeSi$_2$ 상을 얻을 수 있었다. 항온열처리 전의 열간압축 성형체와 상변태가 완료된 $\beta$-FeSi$_2$의 기계적 성질과 열전 특성을 측정하여 비교 분석하였다.

${\beta}$-silicon carbides with yttrium aluminum garnet of 2,5,10 mol% were prepared by a liquid--phase sint-ering and the microstructural evolution and phase transformation were investigated during sintering as functions of liquid-phase amount and sintering time. The rate of grain growth decreases with the addition of the amount of yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) in the SiC starting powder however the apparent density and the aspect ratio of grains in sintered body increase. The phase transformation from ${\beta}$-SiC to ${\alpha}$-SiC were dependent on the liquid-phase amount and sintering time.

Transgenic Petunia hybrida cv. Rosanpion was produced by Agrobactepium tumefaciens LBA4404 harboring a binary vector pBI 121 containing $\beta$-glucuronidase (gus) and neomycin phosphotransferase (nptII). For genetic transformation, leaf discs were precultured on MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/L NAA and 1.0 mg/L BA (MNB) for 2 days and cocultured for 15 mins with A. tumefaciens. For selection of transformant, leaf discs were transferred to fresh MNB containing 50 mg/L kanamycin and 500 mg/L cefotaxime. Eighteen plants were regenerated and four were confirmed by PCR for detection of gus and nptII gene integrated into the nuclear genome of petunia ‘Rosanpion’. Using this transformation system, we expect that transgenic petunia ‘Rosanpion’ incorporating a useful gene can be produced.

The effect of $\alpha$/$\beta$ phase on the mechanical properties and contact damage of silicon nitrides $Si_3N_4$) was investigated. Silicon nitride materials were prepared from two starting powders, at selective increasing hot-pressing temperatures to coarsen the microstructures: (i) from relatively coarse $\alpha$-phase powder, essentially equiaxed $\alpha$-$Si_3N_4$ grains, with limited, slow transformation to $\beta$-$Si_3N_4$ grain; (ii) from relatively fine $\alpha$-phase powder, a more rapid transformation to $\beta$-$Si_3N_4$, with attendant grain elongation. The resulting micro-structure thereby provided a spectrum of $\alpha$/$\beta$ phase ratios, grain sizes, and grain shapes. Fracture strength, hardness, and toughness were measured, and contact damage and strength degradation after indentation were investigated by Hertzian indentation using spherical indenter. A brittle to ductile transition in $Si_3N_4$ depended on $\alpha$/$\beta$ phase ratio as well as grain size. Silicon nitride with elongated $\beta$ grains showed a superior, contact damage resistance.

Zr-xNb alloys (x = 0.2, 0.8, 1.5 wt.%) were prepared to study the characteristics of the phase transformation in Zr-Nb system. The samples were heat treated at ${\beta}$-temperature ($1020^{\circ}C$) for 20 min and then cooled with different cooling rate. The microstructures of the specimens having the same compositions were changed with cooling rate and Nb content. The Widmanst$\ddot{a}$tten structure was observed on the furnace-cooled sample. The relationship between ${\alpha}$-Widmanst$\ddot{a}$tten and ${\beta}$-phase was the {0001}${\alpha}$//{110}${\beta}$, <11$\bar{2}$0>//<111>. The ${\beta}$-phase in Widmanst$\ddot{a}$tten structure of Zr-Nb alloys containing Nb more than solubility limit was identified as ${\beta}_{Zr}$ phase which was a stable phase at high temperature. In the water quenched samples, two kinds of martensite structures were observed depending on the Nb-concentration. The lath martensite was formed in Zr-0.2, 0.8 wt.% Nb alloys and the plate martensite having twins was formed in Zr-1.5 wt.% Nb alloy.

본 연구는 유산균발효유 제조에 많이 사용되는 Lactobacillus casei YIT 9018에 광범위 숙주영역을 갖고 있는 Streptococcus faecalis DS5 의 plasmid pAM $\beta_1$ DNA를 이용하여 전이, 도입하고자 유당발효능결손변이주를 이용하여 원형질체융합, 접합, 형질전환을 검토하였던 바 얻어진 결과는 다음과 같다. L.casei와 S.faecalis 균주의 conjugation 은 membrane filter mating(Milipore, 0.45$\mu \textrm m$, front side)의 경우 $6.9\times 10^7$으로 가장 높은 전이율을 나타냈으며 protoplast fusion이나 transformation에 의해서는 fusant나 transformant를 선별할 수 없었다.

示差熱曲線으로 二酸化망간의 各變態를 分析化學的인 面에서 檢討하였다. 各變態의 轉移溫度는 ${\alpha},{\beta}-MnO_2$인 경우 $580^{\circ}C∼650^{\circ}C$였고, ${\gamma}-MnO_2$인 경우 $405^{\circ}C~605^{\circ}C$, ${\delta}-MnO_2$인 경우 $860^{\circ}C~875^{\circ}C$였으며 吸熱 peak를 나타냈다. 轉移가 完結되는 회복點의 溫度는 試料의 量에 따라서 달랐으나 $T_{max}$點의 溫度는 거의 一定하였다. peak의 모양은 ${\alpha},{\beta}-MnO_2$ 및 ${\gamma}-MnO_2$는 작고 완만하였으며 ${\delta}-MnO_2$는 크고 예민하였다.

Thymosin beta4 (TB4) has multiple functions in cellular response in processes as diverse as embryonic organ development and the pathogeneses of disease, especially those associated with cardiac coronary vessels. However, the specific roles played by TB4 during heart valve development in vertebrates are largely unknown. Here, we identified a novel function of TB4 in endothelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT) in cardiac valve endocardial cushions in zebrafish. The expressions of thymosin family members in developing zebrafish embryos were determined by whole mount in situ hybridization. Of the thymosin family members only zTB4 was expressed in the developing heart region. Cardiac valve development at 48 h post fertilization was defected in zebrafish TB4 (zTB4) morpholino-injected embryos (morphants). In zTB4 morphants, abnormal linear heart tube development was observed. The expressions of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) 4, notch1b, and hyaluronic acid synthase (HAS) 2 genes were also markedly reduced in atrio-ventricular canal (AVC). Endocardial cells in the AVC region were stained with anti-Zn5 antibody reactive against Dm-grasp (an EMT marker) to observe EMT in developing cardiac valves in zTB4 morphants. EMT marker expression in valve endothelial cells was confirmed after transfection with TB4 siRNA in the presence of transforming growth factor ${\beta}$ ($TGF{\beta}$) by RT-PCR and immunofluorescent assay. Zn5-positive endocardial AVC cells were not observed in zTB4 morphants, and knockdown of TB4 suppressed TGF-${\beta}$-induced EMT in ovine valve endothelial cells. Taken together, our results demonstrate that TB4 plays a pivotal role in cardiac valve formation by increasing EMT.
