Keys to the attainment of tailored properties in SiC ceramics are microstructure control and judicious selection of the sintering additives. In this study, three different strategies for controlling microstructure of liquid-phase-sintered SiC ceramics (LPS-SiC) have been suggested: control of the initial $\alpha-SiC$ content in the starting powder, a seeding technique, and a post-sintering heat treatment. The strategies suggested offer substantial flexibility for producing toughened SiC ceramics whereby grain size, grain size distribution, and aspect ratio can be effectively controlled. The present results suggest that the proposed strategies are suitable for the manufacture of toughened SiC ceramics with improved toughness.

The materials processing factors such as remelting and casting, heat treatment and microstructure, sheet rolling and can body forming in the aluminum can-to-can recycling procedure have been investigated. Aluminum used beverage can(UBC) was remelted together with virgin aluminum. The ceramic filter was used during casting to remove large impurities. As-cast microstructure was composed of large intermetallic compound (mainly $\beta$ -phase) distributed in the aluminum matrix. By heat treatment, $\beta$ -phase was transformed to $\alpha$ -phase which was also formed from $Mg_2$Si particles. The heat treated ingots were hot-rolled at 48$0^{\circ}C$ and cold-rolled to thin sheets. Can making from this thin sheets was successful and earing was measured after can making. There was a critical cold reduction rate for minimum earing. Some cracks were initiated from the impurity particles which was not removed during filtering.

Systematic studies of the effects of additives and processing variables on the sintered density and the effect of crystalline forms of starting powders on the microstructure of pressureless sintered silicon carbide are described. Oxide additives were effective for the densification of SiC up to 96% of theoretical density at temperature as low as 185$0^{\circ}C$. Use of embedding powder increased the sintered density, up to 98% of theoretical density, by decreasing the weight loss during sintering. Composite type duplex microstructure has been developed due to the $\beta$longrightarrow$\alpha$ phase transformation of SiC by sintering at 185$0^{\circ}C$ and heat treatment at 195$0^{\circ}C$ for 1h.

Porous cordierite was synthesized by the mechano-chemical processing using fly ash. The phase evolution of cordierite was investigated as a function of processing variables such as milling time and sintering temperature. In this study, the phase transition path of cordierite from fly ash was followed by sapprine/spinel ${\to}$ mullite/spinel ${\to}{\alpha}$-cordierite. Porous cordierite fabricated after 32 h of milling time and sintering at $1150^{\circ}C$ showed relatively low thermal expansion coefficient ($2.5{\times}10^{-6}/^{\circ}C\;(25{\sim}1000^{\circ}C$)) and high porosity (75%).

A synchronous solid-state var compensator(SSVC) system which employs a three-phase neutral-point-darned (NPC) inverter is presented and analyzed for high voltage and high power applications. The proposed SSVC system can compensate for leading and lagging displacement factor. An optimal pulse-width-modulation (PWM) is used as a means of reducing the size of reactive components. A equivalent model is obtained using DQ-transform, and the characteristic of open-loop system are archived from DC and AC analyzes. A $\alpha$ phase-shift control is suggested using a self-controlled dc bus.

In this paper, we calculated permanent magnetic linkage flux ${\psi}_{\alpha}$ and Ld, Lq parameters of IPMSM and compared two model which has different barrier width. IPMSM has two kinds of torque that reluctance torque and magnetic torque. In constant torque region, using the Maxwell stress tensor method, we calculated the torque and current phase angle ${\beta}$ which has appeared maximum torque. In weakening flux region, we calculated the current phase angle ${\beta}$ which flux ${\psi}_o$ lower than limited flux ${\psi}_{omax}$. From the current phase angle ${\beta}$, we calculated torque by torque equation and compared two model characteristic.

Ni(Fe)Al powders containing a homogeneous distribution of the in-situ formed AIN and $Al_2O_3$ dispersoids have been produced by mechanical alloying process in a controlled atmosphere using high energy attrition mill. The powders have been successfully consolidated by hot extrusion process. The phase information investigated by TEM and XRD analysis reveals that Fe can be soluble up to 20% to the NiAl phase ($\beta$) at room temperature after MA process. Subsequent thermomechanical treatment under specific condition has been tried to induce secondary recrystallization (SRx) to improve high temperature properties, however, the clear evidence of SRx was not obtained in this material. Mechanical properties in term of strength at room temperature as well as at high temperatures have been improved by the addition pf AIN, and the room temperature ductility has been shown to be improved after heat treatment, presumably due to the precipitation of second phase of $\alpha$ in this material.

Rapid gas chromatographic profiling method was applied to saliva from healthy subjects for the analysis of free organic acids. Saliva samples were first saturated with NaHCO$_{3}$ and extracted with diethyl ether. The aqueous phase was solid-phase extracted using Chromosorb P as the adsorbent and diethyl ether as the eluent after the acidification and NaCl saturation, followed by triethylamine treatment. The resulting tiiethylammonium salts of acids were directly converted into stable tert.-butyl-dimethylsflyl derivatives, with subsequent analysis by dual-capiuary column gas chromatography and gas chromatograpy -mass spectrometry. From the ten saliva samples studied, twenty eight free organic acids including various fatty acids, hydroxy acids, dicarboxylic acids, md aromatic acids were tentatively identified. Among the acids identified , the concentration of lactic acid was highest for five saliva samples while $\alpha$-hydroxyisocaproic acid was most abundant for me sample, and succinic acid and glycolic acid for two samples. respectively. When the GC profiles were simplified to the corresponding acid retention index spectra of bar graphical form, they presented characteristic patterns for each individual.

A new chiral stationary phase (CSP) based on (1R,2S)-2-amino-1-indanol, which is expected to be conformationally rigid because of its cyclic nature, was prepared. The new CSP was applied in resolving various $N-acyl-\alpha-arylalkylamines$. The chromatographic resolution results on the new CSP were compared with those on the other CSP based on (1S,2R)-norephedrine, which is believed to be conformationally flexible. Comparison of the chromatographic resolution results on the two CSPs demonstrated that conformationally flexible analytes are resolved better on the conformationally rigid CSP while conformationally rigid analytes are resolved better on the conformationally flexible CSP. From these results it was concluded that conformational rigidity or flexibility of CSPs is the important factor for the chiral recognition.

Poly(p-tert-butyltrimethoxymonopropyloxycalix[4]arene-methylsiloxane) (TBCX-MS) has been prepared and used as a stationary phase in isothermal capillary gas chromatographic separation of some positional isomers. Retention factors (k) and separatio n factors $(\alpha)$ for the isomers were measured and compared with those on poly(p-tert-butyl-dimethoxydipropyloxycalix[4]arene-tetramethyldisiloxane) (TBCX-TMDS), poly(dimethoxydipropyloxycalix[4]arenetetramethyl-disiloxane) (CX-TMDS). Most of the isomers investigated are well resolved on TBCX-MS. Retention of all the compounds decreases on the three phases in the order, TBCX-TMDS ${\geq}$ TBCX-MS > CX-TMDS. Similar retention values on TBCX-TMDS and TBCX-MS seem to indicate that retention property of the two phases is not significantly affected by the spatial position of the calixarene moiety.
