The microstructure and pore characteristics have been studied on the sintered UO$_2$pellet which was made of the UO$_2$powder manufactured via AUC process. The open porosity decrease with the density and is nearly annihilated above the density of 10.45 g/㎤. The round pore smaller than 3 $\mu$m exist In all densities. The large and elongated pore appears additionally In low density The pore in low density is more elongated than the pore in high density The distribution of the pore area versus the pore size is monomodal and shows its peak on the pore size of 2 to 3 $\mu$m. As the density decreases, the related area of large pore Increases.

Ultrasonic velocities are widely used in the investigation of material properties. In this paper, a micromechanics model and the ultrasonic velocity were used to develop a nondestructive method to determine the density variation due to porosity in structural SiC. The micromechanics model developed can consider the pore shape and orientation. The model also takes into account the interaction between pores so that it can be applied to the material with high porosity content. A contact pulse overlap method was used to measure the ultrasonic velocities of porous SiC samples, and there was a linear correlation between the velocity and density (or porosity). Using the model and the measured velocity, the bulk density can be easily calculated. The calculated density was in good agreement with that obtained by Archimedes' method.

In this study, porosity estimation was conducted by the physical properties of zeolite. Because of the difficulty of directly measuring the porosity of particulate matter, the porosity was calculated by applying the measured physical properties of zeolite to the calculation formula presented in various literature. For this purpose, the average particle size, particle size distribution, specific surface area, and pore characteristics of three types of zeolite - zeolite beta, zeolite Y, and ZSM-5 - were measured. In addition, the true density using gas and liquid phases, and two types apparent density (tap and untapped density) were measured. We calculated the porosity using these results, compare and analyzed the results, and evaluated main factors that determine the porosity.

Stomatal frequency and size of rice plant grown in the different silicon levels of the culture solution in phytotron were observed on both side of the 7th leaf blade. By the application of silicate, stomatal frequency and rates of stoma cell area to the leaf area were remarkably reduced in Milyang 23. It could be considered as favorable characteristics which might be reduced the transpira-tion rate from leaf surface of rice plant besides presence of cuticle-silica double layer in leaf surface.

The bread qualities were analyzed objectively by using CrumbScan software. Samples were prepared at the same conditions of mixing, fermentation, and baking time except the amount of Korean wheat flour (KWF). The bread volume was increased with increasing KWF, and the maximum volume was attained in the product of 20% KWF. Although the products of 20% and 30% KWF showed the same thickness of the crust, the crust was thinner than control when KWF was added. The size (fineness) and shape (elongation) of crumb cells were larger and rounder than control due to the low degree of elasticity of the KWF-added dough. Among the samples, the product with 20% KWF showed the most even distribution of crumb cells around the sliced area. The precise determination of external and internal characteristics of the bread was possible with Crumbscan, suggesting the possibility of developing industrial standards for bread.

Open/closed porosity, pore size and its distribution and pore type as a funtion of sintered density of UO$_2$-20 wt％CeO$_2$ pellets were investigated. Pore appeared almost closed-type with the density above 96％ of the theoretical density. Bimodal pore size distribution was observed regardless of the sintered density, but the number of pore decreased with increasing the sintered density. The shape of pore was changed from irregular shape to round type with increasing the sintered density.

소결마찰재의 기공은 소결체의 기본 특성으로 제조공정에 따라 다양하게 형성되며, 기공량이 증가할수록 소결체의 강도나 경도를 낮추는 결과를 초래하지만, 수지령 마찰재료의 경우 일정량의 기공이 오히려 마찰특성에는 양호한 결과를 나타냈다. 소결 마찰재의 경우, 기공향은 제작공정상 성형압과 소결 가압력을 선정하는 기준이 되는 것이지만 아직까지 정량화된 결과가 알려져 있지 않다. 따라서 본 연구는 동계소결 마찰재의 제조공정에서 기본적으로 내재되는 기공이 마찰특성에 어떠한 영향을 주며 또한 이러한 영향에 따라 최적 마찰특성을 나타내는 기공량을 제시하고자 하였다. 소결마찰재의 기공율은 성형체 밀도와 소결 가압력을 임의로 변화시켜 기공향을 조절하였고, 이렇게 만들어진 시편들은 정속식 마찰시험기를 이용하여 마찰특성을 평가하였다. 결과의 분석은 반복이 있는 이원배치법을 이용한 통계 수단을 사용하여 분산분석을 실시하고, 최적의 마찰특성을 나타내는 성형체 밀도와 소결 가압력을 제시하고자 하였다.

용융공정 $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$(123) 초전도체는 고자장 하에서도 통전특성이 우수하다 그러나 123 초전도체에는 미세균열이나 기공과 같이 초전도체의 통전특성에 유해 한 요인들도 다수 포함된다. 미세균열은 고온 정방정 상이 저온 사방정상으로 상변 태 시 발생하는 웅력에 의해 생성된다. 반면, 기공은 123 성형체를 녹이는 과정에서 123 상에 포함된 산소원자들이 격자로부터 이탈되고, 이 산소원자들이 모여 액상에서 기공을 형성한다. 제조공정에 따라 기공의 크기와 밀도가 다르지만 대략 수십 이크론 정도로 대단히 크다 생성된 기공 중 일부는 열처리 중에 소멸되나, 어떤 것들은 그대로 남아 초전도체의 치밀화를 방해한다. 본 연구에서는 123의 용융 및 $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$(211)과 액상으로의 분해 과정 및 포정반응과 관련된 미세조직을 조사하여 기공생성과 소멸과정을 조사하였고, 123의 최종 미세조직에 대한 기공의 영향에 대 하여 연구하였다. 열처리 스케쥴은 123-211-액상의 그림 l의 2원 상태도를 기초로 하여 결정하였다. 먼저 부분 용융상태에서의 기공의 분포를 알고자 시편을 105$0^{\circ}C$에서 0.5-1 시 간 유지한 후, 액체 질소통에 넣어 냉각하였다 (그림 2의 열처리 경로 CD)$\circled1$부분 용 융상태에서 급랭할 경우 211과 액상 상태가 그대로 유지되므로 액상에서의 기공분 포를 관찰할 수 있다. 또 다른 시편들은 그림 2의 @$\circled2$경로로 열처리하였다. 이 시편에서는 고온에서 생성된 211과 액상이 반웅하여 123 결정이 생성, 성장하므로 123 결정립 내의 기공분포를 알 수 있다. 그림 3은 시편에서의 기공과 액상포켓의 분포를 모식도와 각 부위의 미세조직 사진이다. 시편에는 산소가스 발생으로 인해 생성된 수형의 기공이 관찰된다. 기공은 시편의 중앙에 집중되며, 시편 바깥부분은 기공에 액상이 채워진 액상포켓이 관찰된다. 기공의 생성과 소멸과정은 다음과 같다. 출발물질인 123 분말이 211과 액상으로 분해될 때 산소가스가 배출되며, 이로 인해 액상에서 구형의 기공이 생성된다. 이들 중 일부는 액상으로 채워져 소멸되나, 나머지는 그대로 남는다. 특히, 시편 중앙에 서는 수십-수백 마이크론 크기의 커다란 기공이 다수 관찰된는데, 이는 기공의 합체로 만들어진 것이다. 포정반응 열처리 시 기공 소멸로 만들어진 액상포켓들은 주변 211 입자와 반응하여 123 영역으로 변한다. 이곳은 다른 지역과 비교하여 211 밀도 가 낮기 때문에, 미반응 액상이 남거나 211 밀도가 낮은 123 영역이 된다. 액상으로 채워지지 못한 구형의 기공들 중 다수가 123 결정 내로 포획되며, 그 형상은 액상/ 기공/고상 계면에너지에 의해 결정된다.

Leaf diffusive resistance (LDR), stomatal density, length of guard cell and hair density of leaves of 6 oak species were determined under withdrawal of water, and their strategies of drought stress were analyzed by principal component analysis. LDR of Quercus acutissima, Q. aliena and Q. serrata increased earlier than those of the other species at high leaf water potential $({\Psi}_{leaf})$ or low water saturation deficit (WSD), which was an avoidance mechanism reducing damage by water stress. Q. variabilis with low stomatal density, small stomatal size and high hair density had avoidance mechanisms increasing LDR at high $({\Psi}_{leaf})$ However, Q. mongolica and Q. dentata increased LDR at low $({\Psi}_{leaf})$ as xeric species do. Results from principal component analysis on the 15 variables related to strategies of drought stress indicated that the 6 oak species were divided into 2 groups: (1) Q. acutissima, Q. aliena and Q. serrata as mesic habitat species and (2) Q. variabilis, Q. mongolica and Q. dentata as xeric habitat species. Among three xeric species Q. acutissima differed from the other two species in the drought strategies such as high hair density, low stornatal density, high leaf area ratio, stomatal closing at low $({\Psi}_{leaf})$ and small cell wall elasticity. The results could reasonably explain their drought strategies in natural habitat.

Stomatal pore is an important physiological trait that is closely linked to photosynthesis and transpiration as carbon dioxide and water vapor move through it between the atmosphere and plants. The present study investigated stomatal traits, such as stomatal density, index and size, of herbaceous native and alien plant species living in a riparian park on the Nakdong River to understand how those traits vary and to know if successful settlement of alien plants is attributed to those traits. There was no difference in stomatal density, index and size between native and alien plants with kidney-shaped stomata, suggesting that an empty ecological niche is not an essential prerequisite for the successful settlement of alien plants. Stomatal density showed a negative correlation with leaf thickness and leaf dry weight content (LMDC), but there was no correlation with Specific leaf area (SLA). All plants with kidney-shaped stomata had amphistomatous leaves, and the density and size of dumbell-shaped stomata were lower than those of kidney-shaped stomata.
