The current work investigates the effects of nucleation heat treatments, on the microstructure and mechanical properties of a novel silicate glass in $Li_2O-BaO-SiO_2$ system with 1 mol% $P_2O_5$ as nucleating agent. As-cast glass was exposed to nucleation heat treatments at $490-550^{\circ}C$ for 1-3 h. The microstructural examination was performed by SEM/EDS. The highest Vickers microhardness was determined to be 650 Hv for the sample heat treated at $550^{\circ}C$ for 1 h. The increase in the nucleation time also affected Vickers microhardness and the highest one was determined to be 600 Hv after nucleation for 3 h. The fracture toughness, $K_{IC}$ reached $2.51MPa.m^{1/2}$ after nucleation at $550^{\circ}C$ for 1 h. The nucleation temperatures had a more pronounced effect on the fracture toughnesses in comparison to nucleation times. The indentation toughness data was used to determine Weibull parameters from Ln ln [1/(1-P)]-$lnK_{IC}$ plots. Weibull modulus, m of the samples nucleated at 500, 510, 530, $550^{\circ}C$ for 1h. and $540^{\circ}C$ for 2 h. were determined similarly to be 3.8, 3.5, 4.7 and 3.9, respectively. The rest of the samples indicated higher Weibull moduli, which may be attributed to the formations of microcracks due to the mismatch in between newly formed crystals and remaining glassy matrix.

Purpose: To evaluate the accuracy of zirconia copings in terms of clinical verified for the clinical application of CAD/CAM. Methods: Zirconia copings (n=5) were prepared using CAD/CAM system and were sintered using the relevant electrical induction furnace, which uses a 2h sintering program with a maximum temperature of $1500^{\circ}C$. The copings placed at the models and the interval values were measured. Results: The meas interval values between the die and the zirconia copings were $44.14{\mu}m$(A), $44.57{\mu}m$(B), $44.72{\mu}m$(C). 51.05 ${\mu}m$(D). Conclusion: The maximum interval values between the die and the zirconia copings were $51.3{\mu}m$ which is acceptable for clinical use. ${\mu}m$ Proper understanding of the test conditions will help enhancing the accuracy of zirconia coping.

The experiment was conducted to evaluate a ventilation system, which was devised to encourage farmers to use the enclosed poultry housing system. The study was observed in the National Livestock Research Institute from May 9 to May 30 in 2002. The main results of the experiment are as follows: 1. Although the outside temperature of the enclosed poultry house was 9.6 ${\sim}$ 21.2$^{\circ}C$ with 11.6$^{\circ}C$ variation, the house with an excellent heat insulation was maintained at 32${\sim}$33$^{\circ}C$ in a variation of 2$^{\circ}C$ which is within the range of the optimal temperature for broiler, being aided with two small electric heaters. 2. The average of air flow rates of the upper, middle and low parts of the room in the broiler house were detected at 0.57, 0.22 and 0.04 m/sec, respectively. The air flow in the whole room was distibuted uniformly by a perforated duct. In conclusion, heat and humidity could be controlled without any problem in this enclosed housing system. Especially, air flow in all parts of the room was detected in uniform rates, resulting in the better ventilation performance with air inhalation through the duct and air exhaust through the side walls of the house.

Fe-Si-C alloy system has been made by mechancial alloying process. The structural and magnetic properties were analysed as a function of processing times. The structural properties were investigated by X-ray diffraction and EXAFS experiments. The magnetic properties were measured by vibrating sample magnetometer and M ssbauer spectroscopy. As processing time increases, Si and C atoms diffuse into a ${\alpha}$-Fe structure and then bcc solid solution is formed after 12 hours of the processing time. The magnetization and the hyper fine field decreased steeply up to 4 hours and then it changed slowly. After 12 hours of the processing time, it almost saturated. These results were agreed with the structural variation.

This paper describes a new method of calculating expected energy generation and loss of load probability (L.O.L.P) for electric power system operation and expansion planning. The method represents an equivalent load duration curve (E.L.D.C) as a mixture of cumulants approximation (M.O.C.A), which is the general case of mixture of normals approximation (M.O.N.A). By regarding a load distribution as many normal distributions-rather than one normal distribution-and representing each of them in terms of Gram-Charller expansion, we could improve the accuracy of results. We developed an algorithm which automatically determines the number of distribution and demarcation points. In modelling of a supply system, we made subsets of generators according to the number of generator outage: since the calculation of each subset's moment needs to be processed rapidly, we futher developed specific recursive formulae. The method is applied to the test systems and the results are compared with those of cumulant, M.O.N.A and Booth-Baleriaux method. It is verified that the M.O.C.A method is faster and more accurate than any other methods.

The production of gluconic acid from glucose by the resting cell system of Aspergillus niger was studied. It was found that the conversion products from glucose by the resting cell system were markedly influenced by the pH, temperature, substrate concentration, aeration, metal ions, cultivation time and storage conditions of the resting cells. Conversion products were identified as gluconic acid by the thin layer chromatography and infrared spectrophotometry. These conversions were greatly stimulated by addition of $Mg^{++}$, and S $n^{++}$, but showed inhibitory effects by C $u^{++}$, H $g^{++}$, C $d^{++}$, A $g^{+}$ and cyanide. For the optimum cell storage, it was effective to be kept at -$25^{\circ}C$ in 0.05M phosphate buffer solution of pH 7.0. The gluconic acid production by the resting cell system was more effective than those of the fermentation with respect to cultivation time, yield, recovery and re-use of the cell.l.l.l.l.l.l.

Porous reaction bonded SiC with high fracture strength was developed using Si melt infiltration method for use of the support layer in high temperature gas filter that is essential to develop the next generation power system such as integrated gasification combined cycle system. The porosity and pore size of porous RBSC developed in this study were in the range of 32∼36% and 37∼90 ${\mu}m$ respectively and the maximum fracture strength of porous RBSC fabricated was 120 MPa. The fracture strength and thermal shock resistance of porous RBSC fabricated by Si melt infiltration were much improved compared to those of commercially available porous clay bonded SiC due to the formation of the strong SiC/Si interface between SiC particles. The characteristics of pore structure of porous RBSC was varied depending on the amounts of residual Si as Well as the size of SiC particle used in green body.

In this paper, we propose a C-band radiometer for remote sensing of land surface temperature and present its experiment results using asphalt as target. Total power type is selected for high sensitivity and low power consumption, super-heterodyne type is selected for stable high gain. A radiometer designed at 5.1 GHz to have operating bandwidth of 110 MHz has system gain of 59 dB, noise figure of 2.7 dB and receiving sensitivity of 0.45 K. We have measured surface temperature on asphalt by using implemented system and thermometer. Analysis data of each measurement results show that a radiometer operates linearly with output voltage variation rate of 6 $mV/^{\circ}C$. As a result, we verified validity of a developed C-band radiometer for remote sensing of land surface temperature.

Emerald (3BeO{\cdot}Al$_{2}$O_{3}{\cdot}6SiO_2 : Cr^{3+}$) single crystals were grown by flux method of $Li_2O-MoO_3 - V_2O_5$ system. The composition of starting materials were 1, 3, 5 mole ratio of $MoO_3 - V_2O_5/$Li_2O$, 20 - 15% of emerald content to flux composition and 1% of $Cr_2O_3$ colordopant to emerald composition. After mixing those were melted at $1100^{\circ}C$ in Pt crucible of electric furnace. Single crystal growth was cooled down slowly rate of $3^{\circ}C$/hr from $1100^{\circ}C$ to $650^{\circ}C$, for the cooling period it was controlled and prevented the nucleation of microcrystallite from variation of each thermal fluctuation range. Specially it has been obtained plenty of large emerald single crystal when thermal fluctuation was treated for cooling period at $1050 ~ 950^{\circ}C$, in 3 mole ratio of $V_2O_5 - MoO_3/Li_2O$ flux. Emerald single crystal growing effect and $Cr_{+3}$ ion of substitutional solid solution effect for $Al_{+3}$ ion was good than mole ratio of 5. Emerald single crystals were c (0001) hexagonal rystal face of preferencial direction and m (1010) post side. Emerald was hexagonal columnar greenish transparent and 2.65 ~ 2.66 of specific gravity.
