We have investigated the electrochemical factors affecting the magnetic properties of hard magnetic CoP nanowires and soft magnetic CoFe nanowires fabricated by ac electrodeposition into self-made AAO(anodic aluminum oxide) nano-templates. AAO template having nano scale pores of high aspect ratio has been prepared through 2-step anodizing of aluminum foil in sulfuric acid. Hard Magnetic properties of CoP nanowires were highly conditional on the applied ac potential which could be a decisive factor to make CoP nanowires made up of either pure hcp crystals or a mixture of hop crystals and fcc crystals. On the contrary to CoFe films, there was no anomalous codeposition in the electrodeposition of soft magnetic CoFe nanowires which exhibited their best saturation magnetization of 238 emu/g at the composition of $Co_{30}Fe_{70}$.

Breslau's report on the two stillbirths induced by illuminating gas poisoning made many investigators explore the hazards. of carbon monoxide(CO) poisoning to pregnancy. The pregnant woman, her fetus, and the newborn infant have been identified to be particularly vulnerable to CO even in low concentration. Several factors, such as placental barrier, membrane resistance of maternal and fetal red blood cells etc., were considered to be related to the delayed elimination of CO from fetus. Slower elimination of CO from fetus than from mother was confirmed in several in vivo studies. But there are few studies which have confirmed the difference of carboxyhemoglobin (HbCO) dissociation in adult and fetal bloods. Author investigated the effects of hemoglobin itself on the elimination of CO from mother and fetus. By observing the difference of CO dissociation from adult and fetal hemoglobin at the various partial pressures of oxygen, the author tries to suggest the base of the proper treatment measure for the CO poisoning of pregnant woman and newborn infant. The results were as follows: 1. The total hemoglobin amounts of adults and fetal bloods were $16.1{\pm}0.50gm%\;and\;15.7{\pm}0.32gm%$, respectively. The fetal hemoglobin proportions in adult and fetal bloods were $1.2{\pm}0.15%\;and\;72.7{\pm}3.01%$, respectively. 2. Adult and fetal bloods saturated by CO to 100% HbCO were exposed to ambient air$(21%\;O_2),\;100%\;O_2\;and\;3\;ATAO_2$. After 30 minutes exposure, the HbCO saturations of adult blood were 96.7%, 70.9%, and 52.8%, respectively, and those of fetal blood were 98.5%, 76.1%, and 62.2%, respectively. HbCO dissociation was proportional to the partial pressure of oxygen and the most marked dissociation was shown under 3 ATA $O_2$, HbCO dissociation of fetal blood was slower than that of adult blood in all conditions. According to the above results, it is possible that CO poisoning make more serious damage to the fetus and newborn infant than to the adult due to the delayed dissociation of HbCO. Thus in the treatment of CO poisoning of pregnant woman and newborn infant, hyperbaric oxygen therapy seems to be the most eflective treatment measure, but the duration of hyperbaric oxygenation should be lengthened accordingly.

By employing a rapid solidification method and atmospheric annealing at $450^{\circ}C-1hr$, we were able to manufacture inexpensively granular CuCo alloy ribbons with thickness of $20{\mu}m$ showing giant magnetoresistance (GMR) ratio of more than 5% at a high magnetic field of 0.5T. To verify maximum MR effect, the MR ratio, saturation magnetization, and microstructure change were investigated with Co contents between 5 and 30 at%. It was possible to obtain GMR ratios of 5.2% at 1.2T, and 3% at 0.5T, which implies an appropriate MR for industrial purpose at a Co content of $8{\sim}l4%$. MR ratio was reduced rapidly at a Co content below 5% due to superparamagnetic effect and at a Co content above 20% due to agglomeration of Co clusters. Surface oxidation during rapid solidification and atmospheric annealing did not have much affect on MR ratio. Our result implies that our economic CuCo granular alloy ribbons may be appropriate for high magnetic field sensor applications with wide content range of $8{\sim}14$ at%Co.

Magnetic shielding effect of cylinderical ahields made of commericial amorphous ribbons has been studied. The shell-arrangement-order of double shell shield has been found to show a striking differencein shielding factor. In low applied field region, a 2605CO-2705M-shield (outer shell: 2605CO, inner shell: 2705M) yields two times higher shielding factor than a 2705M-2605CO-shield (outer shell: 2705M, inner shell: 2605CO). The reasons are as follows: In case of 2605CO-2705M-shield, the outer shell is not easily saturated and effectively shields the applied field. In addition, the inner shell shows high shielding factor in the field shielded by the outer shell. In case of 2705M-2605CO-shield, the outer shell is saturated at very low-field as well as the inner shell shows low shielding factor in the field shielded by the outer shell.

Three differing sandstones, two synthetic and one field sample, have been tested ultrasonically under a range of confining pressures and pore pressures representative of in-situ reservoir pressures. These sandstones include: a synthetic sandstone with calcite intergranular cement produced using the CSIRO Calcite In-situ Precipitation Process (CIPS); a synthetic sandstone with silica intergranular cement; and a core sample from the Otway Basin Waarre Formation, Boggy Creek 1 well, from the target lithology for a trial $CO_2$ pilot project. Initial testing was carried on the cores at "room-dried" conditions, with confining pressures up to 65 MPa in steps of 5 MPa. All cores were then flooded with $CO_2$, initially in the gas phase at 6 MPa, $22^{\circ}C$, then with liquid-phase $CO_2$ at a temperature of $22^{\circ}C$ and pressures from 7 MPa to 17 MPa in steps of 5 MPa. Confining pressures varied from 10 MPa to 65 MPa. Ultrasonic waveforms for both P- and S-waves were recorded at each effective pressure increment. Velocity versus effective pressure responses were calculated from the experimental data for both P- and S-waves. Attenuations $(1/Q_p)$ were calculated from the waveform data using spectral ratio methods. Theoretical calculations of velocity as a function of effective pressure for each sandstone were made using the $CO_2$ pressure-density and $CO_2$ bulk modulus-pressure phase diagrams and Gassmann effective medium theory. Flooding the cores with gaseous phase $CO_2$ produced negligible change in velocity-effective stress relationships compared to the dry state (air saturated). Flooding with liquid-phase $CO_2$ at various pore pressures lowered velocities by approximately 8% on average compared to the air-saturated state. Attenuations increased with liquid-phase $CO_2$ flooding compared to the air-saturated case. Experimental data agreed with the Gassmann calculations at high effective pressures. The "critical" effective pressure, at which agreement with theory occurred, varied with sandstone type. Discrepancies are thought to be due to differing micro-crack populations in the microstructure of each sandstone type. The agreement with theory at high effective pressures is significant and gives some confidence in predicting seismic behaviour under field conditions when $CO_2$ is injected.

The crystallographic and magnetic properties of the system of $Fe_{1-x}Co_x$(x=0.2 and 0.4) prepared by microwave arc-melting with the maximum power of 3.5 kW and a iron-foil with thickness of 25 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ have been studied by the methods of X-ray diffraction and the measurement of the magnetic hysteresis using the vibrating sample magnetometer at room temperature. The samples were prepared in three different ways: First, pellet form pressed under the pressure of 9,000 N/$\textrm{cm}^2$. Second, the sheet cold rolled. Third, thin sheet treated with the temperature of 90$0^{\circ}C$. The X-ray diffraction pattern of the sample prepared by the first method shows that the crystal structure of the sample is bcc as same as that of Fe with a good uniformity. The iron-foil has the coercivity of 43 Oe and the initial slope of magnetization of 0.328 emu/gOe. The coervicity and magnetization of the sample prepared by the second method increased as the Co content increased. But the initial slop of the magnetization decreased as the Co content increased. This means that the displacement of domain wall is suppressed by the increases of coercivity as the Co content increased. The saturation magnetization of the samples made by the third method increased. On the other hand, the coercivity of these samples decreased. The increase of saturation magnetization of the samples seems to be related to the changes in X-ray intensity after heat treatment. Also some magnetic parameters of the samples were calculated by using a simple model and compared with other values.

Structural and magnetic properties of $CO_{1-x}Zn_xZ$ ($Ba_3Co_{1-x}Zn_xFe_{24}O_{41}$) hexa-ferrite are studied using XRD, VSM and SEM, respectively. Powder was prepared from co-precipitation and firstly heat treated at $1350^{\circ}C$ for 6 hours in $O_2$ atmosphere. Second heat treatment was performed at 900, 1000, $1100^{\circ}C$ for 6 hours in air, respectively. Saturation magnetization value of first heat treated powder is acceptable and coercivity is high for applying to device. These result may be originated from incomplete formation reaction from M and Y phases to Z phase. Second heat treatment leads to small value of coercivity.

Five males trained singers (age:25.0${\pm}$1.4years, career:6.8${\pm}$1.1 years) and five female trained singers (age:22.0${\pm}$1.0years, career:5.8${\pm}$1.2 years) participated in this study. SaO2(Oxi Hemoglobin saturation) measured by Oxy-Pulse meter and PAC02 (Pressure Alveolar Co2) measured by Quick et CO2 are compared with pre and post vocal training. As the result, PAC02 was lower than normal range (36-40mmHg) after vocal training, leading to Hypocapnia. This causes headache and dizziness

We examined the effects of soaking, saturation, and aging conditions of raw cowpea seeds, on the yield and growth responses of cowpea sprouts. The absorption caused rapid growth for the first two hours of soaking, then the growth slowed. The longer the soaking period (varied from 1 to 6 hours), the lower the germinability, yield ratio, and lateral root output became. A five-day saturation (moist $96{\pm}1%$, $20^{\circ}C$) treatment led to higher germinability, yield ratio, and lateral root output than no treatment and one- or three-day saturation treatment. High-temperature aging treatment led to lower germinability and yield ratio compared to no such treatment. Taking these findings into account, the optimal treatment conditions of raw cowpea seeds are a five-day saturation (moist $96{\pm}1%$, $20^{\circ}C$) treatment followed by cleaning and growing.

Calcium Carbonate Saturation Index (LI: Langelier Index), an indicator of $CaCO_3(s)$ saturation, indicates corrosiveness of drinking water and it has been used to monitor drinking water conditions in USA, E.U, and Japan. The objective of this research was to measure LI parameters including water temperature, pH, total alkalinity, calcium ion concentration, and electric conductivity, and to evaluate possibility of using LI in domestic system. Results showed that water temperature varied from 2.0 to $26^{\circ}C$ during 15 months, indicating an average annual temperature of $23.9^{\circ}C$. Total alkalinity was from 20 to 45 mg/L. The concentration difference between total alkalinity and $HCO_3{^-}$ value was hardly observed; the concentration of total alkalinity can be replaced by that of $HCO_3{^-}$. Tap water had a medium corrosiveness since LI values were from 2.0 to 0.5. To reduce the corrosiveness and to increase LI values of drinking water, the results of this study showed that chemicals such as $Ca(OH)_2$, $CaCO_3$, NaOH, or $NaHCO_3$ should be added to water treatment plants.
