The effects of $MnO_2$ and $Cr_2O_3$ on the Piezoelectrictric properties of Pb(Mg1/2W1/2)0.3 Ti0.4 Zr0.3O3 Ceramics. Electromechanical properties in the system in connection with the sintering temperature and the effects of $MnO_2$ and $Cr_2O_3$ addition. The dielectric constant of the ceramics decreased with the additions of $MnO_2$ while the additions of $Cr_2O_3$ increased the value. The Planar coupling factor (Kp) of the ceramics with 0.2wt% $MnO_2$ and with 0.2wt% $Cr_2O_3$ gave the highest value of 0.52 and 0.513 as sintered at 106$0^{\circ}C$, 108$0^{\circ}C$, respectively. The value of mechanical Q-factor were in parallel with the fired density of the ceramics. The optical micrography of the sintered bodies showed that the additions of $MnO_2$ promoted the grain growth, while the additions of $Cr_2O_3$ retarded the grain growth.

This study was performed to evaluate the quality characteristics and antioxidant activity of sikhe prepared using various concentrations of hot water extracts roasted coffee ground residue (CR-sikhe; 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1.0%). The pH increased with increasing CR concentration. The reducing sugar content after 5 h saccharification was the highest when 0.8% CR extract was used. Total polyphenol and flavonoid contents increased in a concentration-dependent manner reaching maximum levels when 1.0% CR-extract was used. The antioxidant activities of CR-extracts were higher than that of the control and increased dose-dependently. The CR-0.6 showed the best taste (4.28), color (4.56), flavor (4.08), and overall acceptability (4.28). After 10 day of storage at $4^{\circ}C$, the total cell count in CR-sikhe was approximately 1-2 log cycle, which was less than that in the control.

A new absorption spectrometric method for the determination of the Cr$_2O_7^{2-}$ ionin acidic media has been developed. The new method is based on the oxidation-reduction reaction of the HCr$O_4^-$ ion with H$_2$O$_2$forming a deep blue CrO(O$_2$) $_2$ andis coupled with a technique of flow injection analysis(FIA). The new method provides a linear calibration curve which accurately follows the Beer's law over a wide range of the analytical concentrations(2.0 ${\times}$ $10^{-6}$M~8.0 ${\times}$ $10^{-3}$M) of K$_2$Cr$_2$O$_2$. The sensitivity of the new method is approximately two times greater than the current method and the effects of the interfering substances such as V, Co, Ni, Fe, and Mn are almost negligible except Cu.

The bridged disulphato complex $[Cr_2(NH_2)_2(H_2O)_2(SO_4)_2]{\cdot}2H_2O$, terminal triisocyanato $[Cr(NCO)_3(H_2O)]{\cdot}3H_2O$ complex and limonite, $[FeO(OH)]{\cdot}0.2H_2O$ compound were prepared by the reaction of $Cr_2(SO_4)_3{\cdot}xH_2O, Cr(CH_3COO)_3$ and $Fe_2(SO_4)_3$, respectively, with urea in aqueous media at $80^{\circ}C$. The infrared spectra of the products indicate that the absence of the bands of urea, but shows the characteristic bands of coordinated amide, water, bridged sulphato and isocyanato groups. Thermogravimetric (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) measurements on the complexes are also recorded. The data obtained agree quite well with the expected structures. A general mechanisms describing the formation and its thermal decomposition of the complexes are suggested.

High temperature oxidation of Fe-19Cr and Fe-19Cr-0.2Ti alloys is studied at 1173-1373 K in 16.5 kPa $O_2$ - balances $N_2$ atmosphere aimed at clarifying the effect of titanium addition. Oxidation rate of Fe-19Cr alloy was accelerated with titanium. For both alloys chromium rich $(Fe,\;Cr)_2O_3$ was formed as a major oxidation product. On Fe-19Cr-0.2Ti alloy, a thin layer composed of spinel type oxide and titanium oxide was also formed and an internal oxidation of titanium was observed. Titanium was concentrated at the oxide surface and internal oxidation zone but a small amount of titanium was also found in the intermediate corundum type $(Fe,\;Cr)_2O_3$ layer. Crystals of corundum type $(Fe,\;Cr)_2O_3$ formed on Fe-19Cr alloy are coarse but that formed on Fe-19Cr -0.2Ti alloys were fine and columnar. Reason for the difference in oxidation kinetics and crystal structure will be discussed relating to the distribution of aliovalent titanium in corundum type $(Fe,\;Cr)_2O_3$ oxide layer.

A novel process is proposed to improve oxidation resistance of Ti-Al intermetallic compounds at elevated temperatures by both Cr addition and pre-sulfidation, where TiAl alloys withlor without Cr addition were sulfidized at 1173K for 86.4ks at a 1.3 Pa sulfur partial pressure in a $H_2-H_2S$ gas mixture. The pre-sulfidation treatment formed a thin Cr-Al alloy layer as well as 7~10 micrometer $TiAl_3$ and $TiAl_2$ layer, due to selective sulfidation of Ti. Oxidation resistance of the pre-sulfidation processed TiAl 4Cr alloy was examined under isothermal and heat cycle conditions between room temperature and 1173K in air. Changes in $TiAl_3$ into $TiAl_2$ and then TiAl phases as well as their effect on oxidation behavior were investigated and compared with the oxidation behavior of the TiAl-4Cr alloy as TiAl and pre-sulfidation processed TiAl aHoys. After oxidation for up to 2.7Ms a protective $Al_2O_3$ scale was formed, and the pre-formed $TiAl_3$ changed into $TiAl_2$ and the $Al_2Cr$ phase changed into a CrAlTi phase between the $Al_2O_3$ scale and $TiAl_2$ layer. The pre-sulfidation processed TiAl-4Cr alloy had very good oxidation resistance for longer times, up to 2.7 Ms, in contrast to those observed for the pre-sulfidation processed TiAl alloy where localized oxidation occurred after 81 Oks and both the TiAl and TiAl-4Cr alloys themselves corroded rapidly from the initial stage of oxidation

아크이온플래이팅 기술과 스퍼터링 기술이 결합된 하이브리드 코팅 시스템을 이용하여 STS 304와 Si 기판에 4성분계 Cr-Al-Mo-N 코팅을 증착하였다. $N_2$/Ar 혼합가스 분위기하에 아크 타겟은 Cr을 사용하였고 스퍼터링 타겟은 Al과 Mo를 사용하였으며 합성된 Cr-Al-Mo-N 코팅은 주로 치환고용된 (Cr, Al, Mo)N으로 구성되었다. 최고 경도값은 Mo 함량이 24.2 at.%일 때 35 GPa을 나타냈으며 마찰계수는 Mo의 함량이 0에서 33.2 at.%로 증가함에 따라 0.9에서 0.48로 감소하였다. 이는 $MoO_3$가 코팅면과 스틸볼 계면에서 고체 윤활제로 작용한 것으로 사료된다. 그러나 Cr-Al-Mo-N 코팅은 MoN의 낮은 내산화온도로 인하여 Cr-Al-N에 비하여 더 낮은 온도에서 산화되었다.

The Effects of additional element X (X = Si, Mo, Cu, Gd) on magnetic properties and microstructure of Co-1Zat%Cr-Zat%Ta/Cr-X magnetic thin film were investigated. The thickness changes of Cr-X underlayer and CoCrTa magnetic layer were in the range of $1000~2000\AA$ and $200~800\AA$. respectively. Substrate temperatures were controlled from $100^{\circ}C$ to $200^{\circ}C$. Increase of coercivity by about 100~200 Oe was observed in CoCrTa/Cr-X thin films compared to those without additional X element. Cu was the most effective additional element for increasing coercivity. CoCrTa/Cr-Cu thin film shows relatively high coercivity in $1500\AA$ underlayer thickness and $600\AA$ magnetic layer thickness.

This work investigates the effects of Cr$_2$O$_3$ and oxygen potential on grain growth and densification of UO$_2$ pellets. Powder mixtures of UO$_2$ and 0.03-0.4wt% Cr$_2$O$_3$ were pressed and sintered in 3 different gas atmospheres: the $H_2O$-to-H$_2$ ratios were 5$\times$10$^{-4}$ , 1$\times$10$^{-2}$ and 3$\times$10$^{-2}$ In the first gas atmosphere the Cr$_2$O$_3$ contents below 0.2 wt% have an insignificant effect on grain size, but the Cr$_2$O$_3$ contents more than 0.3 wt% promote grain growth in the inner zone of a pellet but not in the outer zone. In both the second and third atmospheres, the grain size increases with the Cr$_2$O$_3$ content. With the same level of Cr$_2$O$_3$ content the grain size is larger in the second atmosphere than in the third. Sintering behavior and developed microstructure are discussed in terms of the reduction of C$r^2$O$^3$ to Cr, the dissolution of C$r^2$O$^3$ in UO$_2$, and liquid phase sintering.

Objectives : For evaluation of preventive and anti-diabetic activities of Cinnamomi ramulus(CR) herbal acupuncture on pancreatic islet damage in streptozotocin(STZ)-induced diabetic rat. Methods : CR herbal acupuncture was performed at Bisu($BL_{20}$) for 3 weeks subcutaneously starting1 week before STZ i.p. injection. SD rats were divided into four groups(n=10 for each group); 1) NC group, non-treated normal control group, 2) STZ group, STZ administered control group, 3) CR125 group, CR(125mg/kg) + STZ administered group, and 4) CR250 group, CR(250mg/kg) + STZ administered group. Results : Both of CR250 and CR125 groups showed increase in insulin secretion and decrease in the level of serum triglyceride and non-esterified fatty acid in a dose-dependent manner compared to the STZ group. Only CR250 group showed decrease in the levels of glucose and total cholesterol compared to the STZ group. CR herbal acupuncture prevents $\beta$-cell damage of pancreatic islet, showing round figure on the sections of the pancreas. In the pancreatic cells, expressions of iNOS, JNK-2, P-JNK-1/2 and ERK-1/2 were decreased compared to the STZ group. CR herbal acupuncture solution did not show any cytotoxicity by MTS assay and inhibited expressions of iNOS and COX-2 in the STZ-induced diabetic rats. Conclusions : Therefore, we suggest that CR herbal acupuncture may act as a prophylactic as well as a therapeutic modality for diabetes mellitus.
