In this study, we have constructed a measuring system to investigate tensile stress of tendons, which is employed in bridges, by means of the magnetic non-destructive testing (NDT) method. For the twisted 7-strands tendon, we have used Wiedemann effect. An ac current was applied to the tendon and voltage induced from Search Coil on Tendon (SCT) under applying tensile stress was measured. The measuring system consists of tensile stress applying apparatus up to 2 GPa, and ac current supply to apply current to the tendon directly to magnetize the tendon. We have invested two kinds of tendon which were produced by different companies for testing with constructed measuring system. Voltage induced from SCT was decreased up to 1.5 GPa linearly and two kinds of tendon which were produced by different companies shows similar trends. Thus, Wiedemann effect was also applicable to measure tensile stress of tendon by means of magnetic NDT.

The structural change and magnetic properties of mechanically milled Fe-N and Mn-Al alloy powders have been investigated by XRD, TEM, VSM, $M\"{o}ssbauer$ spectroscopy and inelastic neutron scattering measurements. During milling of ${\gamma}'-Fe_{4}N$ powders, and fcc ${\gamma}'-Fe_{4}N$ phase is transformed to a bct ${\alpha}'-Fe(N)$ phase by stress-induced martensitic transformation, being accompanied by an initial increase in saturation magnetization. During annealing the bct ${\alpha}'-Fe(N)$ nanocrystalline phase which is obtained by mechanical grinding for a long time, an ${\alpha}'-Fe_{16}N_{2}$ phase partially appears as an intermediate phase at 673~773 K, causing an increase in saturation magnetization. During milling of Mn-45, 70 and 85 at.% Al mixed powders, Al atoms are partially solubilized into an ${\alpha}-Mn$ phase. The Al supersaturated ${\alpha}-Mn-type$ phases change from paramagnetic to ferromagnetic : the saturation magnetization is 11 emu/g for the as-milled Mn-70 at.% Al powders. Moreover, by removing almost all Al atoms from the as-milled Mn-85 at.% Al powders using chemical leaching, the saturation magnetization increases up to 36 emu/g. The above bct ${\alpha}'-Fe(N)$ and ferromagnetic ${\alpha}-Mn$ type alloys are the magnetic materials found for the first time, by using the present mechanochemical process.

Direct conversion of starchy materials to single cell protein of Sporobolomyces holsaticus FRI Y-5 was investigated. Effect of yeast extract concentration on its cell growth showed that it could utilize more of starch in the medium containing 2.5 g/l of yeast extract. In case of jar fermentor culture, the specific growth rate and cell yield of Sp. holsaticus on soluble starch were calculated to be $0.14\;hr^{-1}$ and 0.425, respectively and its maximum cell concentration was 13.4 g/l. After 80 hr of incubation time, 45.96% of starch was consumed and 45.1% of relative blue value was decreased. Reducing sugars in the starch medium seemed to increase from 4.06 g/l to 6.08 g/l and then to decrease. During fermentor culture, pH of medium was almost not changed in the range of $pH\;7.0{\pm}0.5$. The optimal temperature and pH of Sp. holsaticus amylase activity were $40^{\circ}C$ and pH 7.5, respectively. It was shown from the effect of Tapioca starch concentration on the cell growth that the optimal concentration of Tapioca starch for Sp. holsaticus was lower than that of soluble starch. FRI Y-5 cells settled much slower than Sp. holsaticus IFO 1032 cells and the viscosity vs cell concentration relationship was related to be linear.

Optically compensated bend liquid crystal display (OCB-LCD) has many application fields owing to its fast response time and wide viewing angle. However, in order to operate the OCB-LCD in bend state, this device needs quick transitions from the initial splay state to bend state. Unlike conventional approach using transient high voltage for the transition, the OCB-LCD with high surface tilt angle, which was achieved by polymerization of UV curable reactive mesogen monomer under certain voltage, was manufactured and the cell showed bend state initially. Electro-optic and electrical characteristics of the cell were analyzed. The cell shows a fast response time owing to high surface pretilt angle and very low residual DC less than 0.1 V although another polymer layer is formed above polymer alignment layers.

Rapidly solidified NdFeB powders were mixed with fine powders of pure metal elements before CA-press employed to obtain a fully dense isotropic precursor. Subsequently, the precursor was deformed by CA-deformation to obtain an anisotropic magnet. The CA-deformed anisotropic NdFeB magnets with 0.3 wt.% Zn or Sn exhibited the coercivities about 80% higher (11.4. and 11.2 kOe, respectively) than that (6.4 kOe) of the additive-free magnet.

A new type of digital phase-locked loop (DPLL) that employs a multilevel quantified timing error detector (TED) is proposed and analyzed under the assumption of negligible quantizing effect and no noise. Since the timing error is quantized uniformly, the TED has a linear characteristic. From the linear characteristic of TED, a first order difference equation describing the behavior of the loop is derived. Using the system equation, the loop is analyzed mathematically for phase step and frequency step input. Desired locking condition for the loop to be locked and the lock range for the DPLL's to achieve exact locking independently of initial conditions are ob-tained. And these analyses are confirmed by timing error plane plots and computer simulation.

The nitrogenation process and magnetic properties of $Sm_{2}Fe_{17}N_{x}\;(0{\leq}x{\leq}3)$ were investigated. During the initial nitrogenation process, the nitrogen content had linear relation with the square root of nitrogenation time, and the activation energy for the process was calculated to be 102.4 kJ/mol. The magnetic properties of $Sm_{2}Fe_{17}N_{x}$ were strongly dependent on the nitrogen content and the composition having $Sm_{2}Fe_{17}N_{2.8}$ showed optimum magnetic properties with a Curie temperature of 450 oC. The intrinsic magnetic properties of the nitride at room temperature were $M_{s}=1147\;emu/cm^{3},\;K_{1}=4.6{\times}10^{7}erg/cm^{3},\;K_{2}=6.0{\times}10^{7}erg/cm^{3}\;and\;H_{A}=290\;kOe$, respectively.

The magnetic properties of aluminum anodized film in which Co-Fe alloy electrodeposited are investigated with regard to the alloy composition of magnetic films. The electrodeposited Co-Fe particles are confirmed to be single phase Co-Fe alloys by X-ray diffractions. At 34 at% Co, the sample with small pore diameter(particle diameter $150\;{\AA}$) has a large magnetic energy product($B_{max}$) of about 1.44 MGOe due to the large saturation magnetization, the high coercive force and good squareness of the M-H curve. However, for the samples with particle diameter larger than $450\;{\AA}$, the bottom of each particle forms abnormal particle claaed branch-shaped unlike the sample of the particle diameter $150\;{\AA}$. In this case, the magnetic anisotropy energy was about zero at the compositions of 45 and 75 at% Co. Moreover, at the compositions from 50 to 70 at% Co, the anisotropy became negative value. This means that an easy axis of magnetization of the film is in plane in plane in spite of the perpendicular shape anisotropy of the particle. It was found that the bottom extremity of the particle contains FeC from the X-ray diffraction. Thus the effect of the bottom extremity, that is, an unusal magnetic property was removed by electrodepositing Cu at the bottom extremity of the particle. Itis clear that the magnetic properties of the ilms are influenced by he branch-shaped bottom extremity filled with FeC.

Experimentally it is well known that the magnetic properties significantly deteriorate when nanocomposite bonded magnet are made from nanocomposite ribbon. A decrease in maximum energy product of F $e_3$B+N $d_2$F $e_{14}$B nanocomposite from 14 MGOe in nanocomposite ribbon to 6.5 MGOe in powder compact was fecund to be general. Thus, the present study is focused on finding out the root of exchange decoupling of N $d_4$F $e_{73.5}$ $Co_3$H $f_{0.5}$G $a_{0.5}$ $B_{18.5}$ nanocomposite powder compacts. The exchange decoupling behavior of the powder compact of F $e_3$B+N $d_2$F $e_{14}$B composition was studied by measuring DC demagnetization and isothermal remanent demagnetization curves, which are essential for plotting produced $\delta$M curve. From the $\delta$M plot the deterioration in the magnetic properties resulted from the fact that the magnetostatic interaction became dominant rather thanthe exchange interaction in powder compact. It is concluded that the demagnetization behavior governed by the dominant magnetostatic interaction reduced the remanence magnetization, which caused the reduction of maximum energy Product of the powder compact. We also found that the elimination of residual stress which is unavoidably accumulated during grinding process enhanced the magnetic properties considerably.bly.bly.

$(Ni, Zn)Fe_2O_4$ powders were prepared through self-propagating high temperature synthesis reaction and the effects of initial zinc oxide powder size and oxygen pressure on the magnetic properties of the final combustion products were studied. The ferrite powders were combustion synthesized with iron, iron oxide, nickel oxide, and zinc oxide powders under various oxygen pressures of 0.5~10 atmosphere after blended in n-hexane solution for 5 minutes with a spex mill, followed by dried at 120 $^{\circ}C$ in vacuum for 24 hours. The maximum combustion temperature and propagating rate were about 1250 $^{\circ}C$ and 9.8 mm/sec under the tap density, which were decreased with decreasing ZnO size and oxygen pressure. The final product had porous microstructure with spinel peaks in X-ray spectra. As the ZnO particle size in the reactant powders and oxygen pressure during the combustion reaction increase, coercive force, maximum magnetization, residual magnetization, squareness ratio were changed from 1324 Oe, 43.88 emu/g, 1.27 emu/g, 0.00034 emu/gOe, 37.8$^{\circ}C$ to 11.83 Oe, 68.87 emu/g, 1.23 emu/g, 0.00280 emu/gOe, 43.9 $^{\circ}C$ and 7.99 Oe, 75.84 emu/g, 0.791 emu/g, 0.001937 emu/gOe, 53.8 $^{\circ}C$ respectively. Considering the apparent activation energy changes with oxygen pressure, the combustion reaction significantly depended on initial oxygen pressure and ZnO particle size.
