Effects of gas formers of MgCO$_3$, CaCO$_3$ and Li$_2$CO$_3$ on the spattering phenomena were investigated for non-shielded flux cored arc welding. Spattering phenomena were pictured using high speed camera as a speed of 3000 frames per sec. As experimental results, spattering modes were classified into 4 types. The modes were spattering by arc force, gas explosion, short circuit and pore escape. The amount of spatters by arc force was 30%, gas blowing force was 40%, short circuit 10%, pore escape was 10% and others were 10%. When Li$_2$CO$_3$ was added, the amount of spatters was largest, and it decreased in the order of CaCO$_3$ and MgCO$_3$.

Ca2+ is implicated as a second messenger in coupling various stimuli such as hormone, gravity and light. The determine whether or not plant hormones mobilize calcium with different action, we investigated the cytosolic Ca2+ changes by IAA and zeatin in the protoplasts isolated from elongating mesocotyl of maize. IAA increased the influx of Ca2+ due to the calcium channel opening, which was confirmed by using verapamil, calcium channel blocker. On the other hand, zeatin increased the cytosolic Ca2+ by promoting the efflux of Ca2+ derived from cellular organelles. These results suggest that different calcium flux induced by IAA and zeatin plays a role in appropriate response resulting in increase of cell elongation or repression cell elongatoin.

Black dross is a dark gray dross generated during the aluminum recycling process that uses flux, and contains NaCl, KCl, Al2O3, MgO, etc. Black dross is separated into soluble substances (NaCl, KCl) and insoluble substances (Al2O4, MgO) through the dissolution process. Soluble materials can be reused as salt flux, and Al2O3 and MgO can be upcycled to various ceramic materials through the synthesis process. In this study, Mayenite was synthesized using Al2O3 and MgO recovered from black dross, and the synthesis was performed according to the mixing ratio and reaction temperature. It was confirmed that when Mayenite was synthesized using black dross (spinel) and CaCO3, precursors were changed to Mg0.4Al2.4O4 and CaO at 700 ℃, and to Ca12Al14O33 (Mayenite) after 800 ℃. In the mixing conditions experiment, it was confirmed that the Mayenite XRD peak increased with increase of the CaCO3 content, and the Mg0.4Al2.4O4 XRD peak decreased. As a result of the BET analysis of the synthesized powder, the surface area decreased as the fine particles were grown and agglomerated in the process of generating mayenite.

Four membranes were used to separate Chlorella sp. from their culture medium in cross-flow microfiltration (MF) experiments: cellulose acetate (CA), cellulose nitrate (CN), polypropylene (PP) and polyvinylidenefluoride (PVDF). It was found that the hydrophilic CA and CN membranes with a pore size of 1.2 ${\mu}m$ exhibited the best performances among all the membranes in terms of permeation flux. The hydrophobicity of each membrane material was determined by measuring the angle between the water (liquid) and membrane (solid). Contact angle measurements showed that deionized (DI) water had almost adsorbed onto the surfaces of the CA and CN membranes, which gave $0.00^{\circ}$ contact angle values. The PP and PVDF membranes were more hydrophobic, giving contact angle values of $95.97^{\circ}$ and $126.63^{\circ}$, respectively. Although the pure water flux increased with increasing pore diameter (0.8 < 1.2 < 3.0 ${\mu}m$) in hydrophilic CA and CN membranes, the best performance in term of filtration rate for filtering a microalgae suspension was attained by membranes with a pore size of 1.2 ${\mu}m$. The fouled membrane pore sizes and pore blocking were inspected using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). MF with large pore diameters was more sensitive to fouling that contributed to intermediate blocking, where the size of the membrane pores is almost equivalent to that of cells.

We have investigated the Josephson vortex dynamics in $Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O{8+\delta}$ intrinsic Josephson junctions subjected to a magnetic field parallel to $CuO_2$ planes. We investigated mesas with $40\times40{\mu}m^2$ in size and containing 6 and 20. intrinsic junctions. The zero field I-V characteristics exhibited a typical hysteretic, multi-branched nature of the intrinsic Josephson effect. At high magnetic fields (H>1.5 T), I-V characteristics showed flux flow steps. The Swihart velocity obtained from this observation was about $4.2\times10^5$ m/s, which was the lowest mode electromagnetic wave velocity of N coupled stack. The experimental I-V curves fitted well into the simple model of Cherenkov radiation including Ohmic and non-linear dissipation terms. This suggests that the dissipation mechanism of Josephson vortex be due to both Cherenkov radiation and quasiparticle tunneling current.

Suspension effect has been studied by using superconductor of BiPbSrCaCuO ceramics containing Ag$_2$O It has been cleared that Ag$_2$O acts as pinning center which plays an important role to the suspension effect. Magnetic repulsive force which affects a superconductor located in magnetic flux from toroidal magnet has been investigated. It has been concluded that the suspension effect arises from the interaction between the pinning effect and the diamagnetic effect.

In this study, generation process and properties of inorganic industrial waste which can be used in cement industry were investigated. The scheme of recycling to use the selected waste as raw materials, mineralizer and flux, admixture and raw materials for special cement was decided and then various experiments were carried out. The experimental results were as follows ; In the use of industrial waste as raw materials, ferrous materials could be substituted by Cu-slag, Zn-slag, electric arc furnace or convertor furnace slag etc., and a siliceous material could be substituted by sand from cast-iron industry. By-products from sugar or fertilizer industry, which has $CaF_2$ as the main component, and jarosite from Zn refinery enabled clinker phases to be formed at lower temperature by $100{\sim}150^{\circ}C$. Adding Cu slag and STS sludge in proper proportion to cement improved properties of cement. Fly ash and limestone powder as admixture had the same effect on cement. As a raw material for special cement, aluminium waste sludge could be used in making ultra early strength cement, which had the compressive strength of $300kg/cm^2$ within 2hours. And two different ashes from municipal incinerator could be raw materials of the cement which was mainly composed of $C_3S$ and $C_{11}A_7{\cdot}CaCl_2$ as clinker phases.

We have measured I-V characteristics of Bi$_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_{8+{\delta}}$ mesa containing a small number of intrinsic stacked Josephson junctions in a magnetic field. We fabricated mesa with an area of 40${\times}$40 ${\mu}$m$^2$ containing 3${\sim}$20 intrinsic junctions. We applied magnetic field perpendicular to He CuO$_2$ planes up to 5T. We observed flux-flow branches and flux-flow steps in the I-V characteristics which might be due to collective motion of Josephson vortices in the long junction limit. In a parallel field, critical current I$_c$ varies as I$_c$(B) ${\sim}$ exp(-B/B$_0$), where B$_0$ is about 2T, which is consistent with the theoretical model. DC and AC intrinsic Josephson effects are also discussed.
