The $CO_2$ adsorption and characteristics of mesoporous silica MCM-41 impregnated by MEA (Monoethanolamine) were examined in this study. The adsorbents were characterized by XRD (X-ray powder diffraction), FT-IR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy), $N_2$ adsorption-desorption isotherms. $CO_2$ adsorption measurements were carried out using a GC-TCD unit using 15% $CO_2$ gas. The $CO_2$ adsorption capacity of MCM-41 increased by MEA contents to 10~40 wt%, otherwise MEA content of 50 wt% was decreased $CO_2$ adsorption capacity. The amines tended to deform at MCM-41 surface if too many amines were provided. Therefore $CO_2$ adsorption capacity can be decreased. The results of this study suggest it is important to control content of MEA in MCM-41 for adsorption of $CO_2$.

The influence of storage atmosphere on ethylene production, quality attributes and storage injury of 'Tsugaru' apples was investigated. Apples were stored in 1% $O_2+1%\;CO_2,\;1%\;O_2+3%\;CO_2,\;3%\;O_2+1%\;CO_2,\;3%\;O_2+3%\;CO_2$ and air at $0^{\circ}C$ for 5 months. Ethylene production was more suppressed by 1% $O_2$ than 3% $O_2$ atmospheres regardless $CO_2$ levels. The loss of flesh firmness and the decrease of titratable acidity were not significantly different among the storage atmospheres until 3 months of storage but more retarded by 1% $O_2$ than 3% $O_2$ atmospheres thereafter. Soluble solid content was unaffected by the storage atmosphere, but the content tended to be increased until 2 months of storage and then not varied. Ethanol content increased up to a peak level followed by a gradual loss during storage in CA but increased continuously in air. In the sensory evaluation after storage for 5 months, hardness, tartness and overall acceptability of apples stored in 1% $O_2$ atmospheres were significantly higher than those stored in the others. There was no fruit injury or off-flavor production resulting from the 1% $O_2$ atmospheres. The incidence of bitter pit was reduced as storage $O_2$ level decreased. The results show that the optimum conditions of CA storage for 'Tsugaru' apples are $0^{\circ}C$ and 1% $O_2+1{\sim}3%\;CO_2$.

Magnetic properties and microstructure of nanocrystalline $\alpha$-(Fe, Co)-based Nd-(Fe, Co)-B-Nb-Cu alloys have been investigated. $Nd_x(Fe_{0.9}Co_{0.1})_{90-x}B_6Nb_3Cu_1$(x=2, 3, 4, 5, 6) alloys prepared by rapid solidification process show amorphous phase except the one with x=2. By a proper annealing, the amorphous in the alloy is changed to a nanocrystalline phase. It is confirmed that the nanocrystalline alloys are composed of $\alpha$-(Fe, Co) and $Nd_2(Fe, Co)_{14}B_1$ phase. The optimally annealed $Nd_3(Fe_{0.9}Co_{0.1})_87B_6Nb_3Cu_1$ alloy shows the highest remanence of 1.55 T. The coercivity increases with the increase of Nd content The maximum coercivity of 4.6 kOe is obtained from an optimally annealed $Nd_6(Fe_{0.9}Co_{0.1})_84B_6Nb_3Cu_1$ alloy, resulting in the maximum energy product of 10.6 MGOe.

A study of hen egg lysozyme extraction using reversed micelles and pressurized CO₂ phase was conducted. The relationship between the lysozyme extraction and water content (W/sub 0/) under the pressurized CO₂ conditions was investigated. The water content of the micellar organic phase was a significant parameter affecting the mass transfer of protein and enzymatic activity in reversed micellar process. It was found that the reversed micelles in the organic phase with pressurized CO₂ were larger than the organic phase without CO₂. Therefore, the extractionrate of lysozyme in the interface of the aqueous phase and the organic phase was increased. W/sub 0/ value was increased at the high surfactant concentration and the extraction rate of lysozyme was enhanced.

In order to evaluate the elimination of CO through the lung comparing with the decrease of CO content in the blood, authors had induced acute CO poisoning on 9 dogs. Arterial CO-Hb saturation, CO concentration, %, in expired gas and eliminated CO amount through the lung were measured at 1,5,10,30,60, and 120 minutes after acute CO poisoning in 6 dogs breathing room air and 3 dogs breathing room air and oxygen alternately. Results obtained are summarized as follows. In room air breathing group, arterial CO-Hb saturation averaged 50.8% , and 53.67 ml of CO was blew off through the lung during 120 minutes and in alternately air and oBygen breathing group, the arterial CO-Hb saturation averaged 65.6% and 95.6 ml of CO was blew off through the lung. The amount of CO eliminated in expired gas for 120 minute was much less than the amount of decreased CO in arterial blood which was calculated with the decreased CO-Hb content in the estimated circulating blood volume. Such difference between the amount of eliminated CO in expired gas and the decreased CO in blood might be attributed to the oxidation of CO to $CO_2$ in the tissues. Concentration of CO in expired gas was markedly increased and the rate of decrease in arterial CO-Hb saturation is enhanced by oxygen breathing. In early period of recovery from acute CO poisoning, neither the CO concentration in expired gas, nor, the rate of CO elimination (unlit 2 minutes after CO poisoning) showed close correlation with the blood CO-Hb saturation level. The reason seemed to be due to irregularly depressed or unevenly stimulated respiration which were induced by acute CO poisoning.

This paper aims to investigate the effect of B and Si upon the mechanical properties, microstructure and corrosion resistance of Co-Cr base alloy. Ten groups of alloy ingot ingot with various contents of B and Si were remelted by high frequency electrical induction furnace and cast into tensile specimen of ADA Specification No. 14 Tensile and hardness test were carried out by Amsler and Rockwell hardness tester(R-30N), respectively. The microstructures of specimen were observed by SEM. The results obtained are summarized as follows : 1. As B content is increased, tensile strength, yield strength and Rockwell hardness number(R-30N) are also increased significantly, while the elongation is decreased significantly. 2. As Si contect os increased, no significant chang in tensile strength is noticed, yield strength is slightly decreased, but Rockwell hardness number(R-30N) is moderately in creased, Elongation marks maxium value with 1% Si content while with more than 1% Si it is decreased. 3. As B content is increased corrosion resistance is decreased and is at best with 1.5% B content. Corrosion resistance is increased with the increase of Si content and the alloys with Si over 3.0% showed corrosion resistance. 4. As B content increased, precipitates are increased in number at grain boundaries. The grain size tends to become coarse with the increase of Si content. 5. Co rich-Cr alloy is present through matrix whereas at the grain boundaries Cr base precipitates are primarily formed.

Effects of Ga contents of CIGS absorber layer on the performance of thin films solar cells were investigated. As Ga content increased, the grain size of CIGS films decreased presumably because Ga diffusion during 2nd stage of co-evaporation process is more difficult than In diffusion. Performances of corresponding solar cell show systematic dependence on Ga content in which open circuit voltage increases and short circuit current and fill factor decrease as Ga contents increases. At a optimal condition of Ga/(In+Ga)=0.27, the solar cell shows a conversion efficiency of 15.6% with $V_{OC}$ of 0.625 V, $J_{SC}$ of 35.03 mA/$cm^2$ and FF of 71.3%.

The electrical characteristics of $ZnO-Pr_6O_{11}-CoO-Cr_2O_3-Y_2O_3$(ZPCCY)-based varistors were investigated with $Y_2O_3$ content in the range of 0.0~4.0 mol%. As $Y_2O_3$ content is increased, the average grain size was markedly decreased in the range of 18.6~3.2 $\mu m$ and the density of the ceramic was decreased in the range of 5.53 ~3.74 $g/\textrm{cm}^3$. While, the varistor voltage was increased in the range of 39.4~748.1 V/mm and the nonlinear exponent was in the range of 4.5~51.2 with increasing $Y_2O_3$ content. The addition of $Y_2O_3$ greatly enhanced the nonlinear properties of varistors, compared with the varistor without $Y_2O_3$. In particular, the varistors with $Y_2O_3$content of 0.5 mol% exhibited the highest nonlinearity, in which the nonlinear exponent is 51.2 and the leakage current is 1.3 $\mu A$. The donor concentration and the density of interface states were decreased in the range of (4.19~0.14) $\times$10$^{18}$ /㎤ and (5.38~1.15)${\times}10^{18}/\textrm{cm}^3$, respectively, with increasing $Y_2O_3$ content.

A dual-phase ceramic membrane consisting of gadolinium-doped ceria (GDC) as an oxygen ion conducting phase and $MnCo_2O_4$ as an electron conducting phase was fabricated by sintering a GDC and $MnCo_2O_4$ powder mixture. The $MnCo_2O_4$ was found to maintain its spinel structure at temperatures lower than $1200^{\circ}C$. (Mn,Co)(Mn,Co)$O_4$ spinel, manganese and cobalt oxides formed in the sample sintered at $1300^{\circ}C$ in an air atmosphere. XRD analysis revealed that no reaction phases occurred between GDC and $MnCo_2O_4$ at $1200^{\circ}C$. The electrical conductivity did not exhibit a linear relationship with the $MnCo_2O_4$ content in the composite membranes, in accordance with percolation theory. It increased when more than 15 vol% of $MnCo_2O_4$ was added. The oxygen permeation fluxes of the composite membranes increased with increasing $MnCo_2O_4$ content and this can be explained by the increase in electrical conductivity. However, the oxygen permeation flux of the composite membranes appeared to be governed not only by electrical conductivity, but also by the microstructure, such as the grain size of the GDC matrix.

In this study, the $LiCoO_2/LiNi_{1/3}Mn_{1/3}Co_{1/3}O_2$ mixed cathode electrodes were prepared and their electrochemical performances were measured in a high cut-off voltage. As the content of $LiNi_{1/3}Mn_{1/3}Co_{1/3}O_2$ increased in a mixed cathode, the reversible specific capacity and cycleability of the electrode enhanced, but the rate capability was deteriorated. On the contrary the rate capability of the cathode enhanced, but the reversible specific capacity and cycleability were deteriorated, increasing the content of $LiCoO_2$ in the mixed cathode. The cell of $LiCoO_2/LiNi_{1/3}Mn_{1/3}Co_{1/3}O_2$ ($50:50 wt\%$) mixed cathode delivered a discharge capacity of ca. 168 mAh/g at a 0.2 C rate. The capacity of the cell decreased with the current rate and a useful capacity of ca. 152 mAh/g was obtained at a 2.0 C rate. However, the cell showed very stable cycleability: the discharge capacity of the cell after 20th charge/discharge cycling maintains ca. 163 mAh/g.
