The material properties of $SnO_2$ were investigated as a function of the amount of $Fe_2O_3$, the partial pressure of oxygen, the concentration of CO gas, and temperature. $Fe_2O_3$-doped $SnO_2$ thick films were prepared by the screen printing technique on alumina substrate. The specimens sintered at $700^{\circ}C$ for 6 hours showed little difference of the grain size and narrow distribution with the content of $Fe_2O_3$. The electrical conductance of undoped $SnO_2$ is high at low firing temperature and at low partial pressure of oxygen. The electrical conductance of $Fe_2O_3-$-doped $SnO_2$ is increased with measurement temperature, but decreased with the content of $Fe_2O_3$. The dependence of oxygen partial pressure is decreased with dopant addition. The highest sensitivity and the good properties of response speed and repeatability for CO gas were observed on the specimen with 0.1 mol% $Fe_2O_3$ at $350^{\circ}C$.

The influence of dehydrocholic acid, cholesterol and phosphstidylcholie to the fine structure of vacuolar apparatus was investigated to better understand the mechanism of intracellular transport of bile constituents in the hepatocytes of rats. The cis Golgi cisterns faced toward the bile canaliculi both in normal and experimental groups. In the hepatocytes from the rats of experimental groups, the primary organic solutes in bile influence the Gogi apparatus, ER and lysosome in the way of increase, cisternal dilation or budding to form the vacuoles. In the dehydrocholic acid group, the cis Golgi cisterns appeared to be sacculated and showed buds, which were probably separated to be vacuoles. Some of the vacuoles appeared to be fused to the bile canaliculi. In the cholesterol and phosphatidylcholine groups, the Golgi cisterns appeared to be dilated and lysosomes were increased in the vicinity of bile canaliculi. The cis Golgi cisterns showing linear saccular fashions were occasonally observed. The increase of lysosomes were more predominant in the cholesterol group. The evidence suggests that dehydrocholic acid is mainly transported through the ER and cis Golgi cisterns, and cholesterol and phosphatidylcholine are mainly transported through the ER and lysosomes via the trans Golgi cisterns, but the cholesterols are frequently transported via the lysosomes.

In this study, we report the synthesis and characteristics of gallium oxide ($Ga_2O_3$) nanoparticles prepared by the polymerized complex method. $Ga_2O_3$ nanoparticles were synthesized using $Ga(NO_3)_3$, ethylene glycol, and citric acid as the starting materials at a low temperature of $500{\sim}800^{\circ}C$. The temperature of the weight reduction by the loss of organic precursor was revealed using TG-DTA analysis. The crystal structural change of $Ga_2O_3$ nanoparticles by the annealing process was investigated by XRD analysis. The morphologies and the size distributions of $Ga_2O_3$ nanoparticles were analyzed using SEM.

The difference of plasma resistance between the CAS glass bulk and coating films were compared. Plasma resistance was confirmed by analyzing the etch rate and the microstructure of the surface when the CAS glass bulk and the glass coating film were etched with CF₄/O₂/Ar plasma gas. CAS glass coating film was etched up to 25 times faster than the glass bulk. A statistically high correlation between the surface roughness and the etching rate of the coating film was derived, and thus, the high surface roughness of the coating film was determined to cause rapid etching. In addition, cristobalite crystals that has a low Ca content and a high Si content, was foamed on the glass coating film. Therefore, the CAS glass coating film is considered to have low plasma resistance compared to the glass bulk.

We have fabricated ZnO thin film on $Pt/TiO-2/SiO_2/Si$ substrate by the sol-gel method and have investigated the effect of annealing temperature on the structural morphology and optical properties of ZnO thin films. The ZnO thin film annealed at $600^{\circ}C$ exhibits the highest c-axis orientation and its FWHM of X-ray peak is $0.4360^{\circ}C$. In the results of surface morphology investigation of ZnO thin film by using Am it is observed that ZnO thin film annealed at $600^{\circ}C$ exhibits the largest UV (ultraviolet) exciton emission at around 378nm and the smallest visible emission at around 510nm among these of ZnO thin films annealed at various temperatures. It is deduced that the ZnO thim film annealed at $600^{\circ}C$ is formed most stoichiometrically since the visible emission at around 510nm comes from oxygen vacancy or impurities.

The microstructure change of brazed $Si_3N_4$/Stainless steel 316 joint with Cu buffer layer were examined to clarify the effects of brazing process conditions such as brazing time and temperature on the mechanical properties and reliability of brazed joints. For the brazed joint above 900${\circ}C$, the Cu buffer layer was completely dissolved into brazing alloy and the thickness of reaction product formed at $Si_3N_4$/brazing alloy joint interface was abruptly increased, which could increase the amounts of residual stress developed in the joint. The fracture strength of brazed $Si_3N_4$/Stainless steel 316 joint with Cu buffer layer at 950${\circ}C$ was much reduced comparing to those of joints brazed at the lower temperature. But, it was found that the effects of brazing time was not critical on the mechanical properties as well as the reliability of $Si_3N_4$/Stainless steel 316 joint with Cu buffer layer brazed at the temperature below 900${\circ}C$.

Samples were prepared by the solid-state reaction method. The nominal composition of the samples was B $i_{1.84}$P $b_{0.34}$S $r_{1.91}$C $a_{2.03}$C $u_{3.06}$ $O_{10+{delta}$ prepared from powder of B $i_2$ $O_3$, PbO, SrC $O_3$, CaC $O_3$, and CuO. They were pulverized, mixed with AgO, A $u_2$ $O_3$and MgO of 50 wt%. Finally, they were sintered at 820 to 85$0^{\circ}C$ in air. The structural characteristics, the microstructure of surface and the critical temperature with respect to the each samples were analyzed by XRD, $T_{c}$, SEM and EDS respectively. It was found that the the critical temperature of the silver oxide additive samples (99.58 K) is higher than those of gold or magnesium oxides additive samples, but all those values are lower than that of pure Bi-2223 phase. The microstructure of surface showed the tendency which the AgO additive samples become more minuteness than A $u_2$ $O_3$ and MgO additive samples.s.samples.s.

This study was designed to examine the change in physical properties of extruded brown rice-vegetable mix at different pregelatinized brown rice contents and $CO_2$ gas injection. Moisture content, screw speed and die temperature were fixed to 30%, 100 rpm and 60, respectively. $CO_2$ gas injection was adjusted to 0, 300, 600, and 800 mL/min. The content of vegetables (carrot, pumpkin, kale and Angelica keiskei) mix was fixed 5%. Pregelatinized and raw brown rice powder were blended as the ratio of 0/95, 30/65 and 50/45. Specific mechanical energy input decreased as pregelatinized brown rice ratio increased. Expansion index increased and the size and number of pores increased but density decreased with the increasing in $CO_2$ gas injection. Gelatinization degree increased as $CO_2$ gas injection increased. In conclusion, cold extrusion with $CO_2$ gas injection at $60^{\circ}C$ die temperature could be applied for Saengsik (uncooked food) making.

Ettringite and thaumasite were observed in some concrete. The morphology and occurrence of these minerals were closely examined by performing SEM/EDAX analyses. We also experimentally induced the concrete deterioration using $Na_2SO_4$ solution with application of various environmental conditions. The stability of these minerals and deterioration characteristics under applied experimental conditions were determined. Abundant ettringite formed by“through solution reaction”occurred in many open spaces, and some microscopic ettringite formed by "tophochemical replacement" of calcium aluminate also occurred in cement paste. Severe cracking of cement paste causing premature deterioration was often associated with ettringite location. Under specific condition, ettringite was transformed to thaumasite, tricthloroaluminate, or decomposed. Thaumasite occurred with association of ettrinsite in concrete containing carbonate aggregate being subject to dedolomitization or in some concrete being subject to carbonation. Thaumasite appears to be formed under the similar condition to the general ettringite forming condition, but it formed solid solution with ettringite by substituting pre-existing ettringite. Ettringite can also be transformed to trichloroaluminate in the presence of abundant chlorides, but trichloroaluminate changed back to ettringite in late sulfate attack. It is considered that the substitution reaction direction solely depend on the concentration of chloride and sulfate ion.

A heat-resisting diatomite protection tube, using diatomite as a main component, was manufactured through an extrusion molding of ceramic slurry in different component ratios. And its mechanical strength, carbon analysis and microstructural non-homogeneity were investigated. After fixing $60wt\%$ of porous diatomite whose particle size was $50\~100\;{\mu}m$, the optimum mixture ratio with composition variables by changing $1\;wt\%$ of each component that was silica sol$(4.3\~7.3\;wt\%)$ as an inorganic binder, CMC (Sodium CarboxyMethyl Cellulose $(6\~9\;wt\%)$) as an organic binder and paper powder$(4.7\~7.7\;wt\%)$ was obtained. As a result of the investigation on a composition containing $60\;wt\%$ diatomite, $5.3\;wt\%$ silica sol, and $7\;wt\%$ CMC, a heat-resisting protection tube that could be used as a molten steel probe for measuring the temperature and components of molten steel was developed. The bending strength, compressive strength, and elastic modulus of the protection tube developed, that contained $\le2.3\;wt\%$ carbon, were 7.1 MPa, 7.5 MPa, and 1090 MPa, respectively.
