${\gamma}-alumina$ membranes were prepared by sol-gel dip coating or pressurized coating of boehmite sols on slipcasted ${\gamma}-alumina$ support tubes. The particle size of sols synthesized via the modified Yoldas-method could be controlled below 5 mn according to the mole ratio of nitric acid/aluminumtri-sec-butoxide (0.07~1.0). The reproducible crack-free composite membranes were produced by the 2nd dip coating or the pressurized coating technique using very stable sols with the particle size of 45 nm. Nitrogen gas permeability through the top-layer in the composite membrane was about $70~55{\times}10^{-7}\;mol/m^2{\cdot}s{\cdot}Pa$. The thermal stability of the top layer was proved to be good enough upto the heat-treatment temperature of $500^{\circ}C$.

This study is intended to make defect-free region, denuded zone at the silicon wafer surface for semiconductor device substrates. In this experiment, initial oxygen concentration of starting material CZ-grown silicon wafer, various heat treatment combinations, denuding ambient and the amounts of oxygen reduction were measured, and then denuded zone (DZ) formation and depth were investigated. In Low/High anneal (DZ formation could be achieved), the optimum temperature for Low anneal was 700$^{\circ}C$∼750$^{\circ}C$. In case of High anneal, with the time increased, DZ depth was increased at 1000$^{\circ}C$, 1150$^{\circ}C$ respectively, but on the contrary, DZ depth was decreased at low temperature 900$^{\circ}C$. As well, out-diffusion time below 2 hours was unsuitable for effective Gettering technique even though the temperature was high, and DZ formation could be achieved when initial oxygen concentration was only above 14 ppm in silicon wafer.

Bifidobacterium has been previously shown to potentiate immune function, which was mediated through the stimulation of cytokine production by macrophage. This study was performed to further characterize the effective component of Bifidobacterium by measuring the level of interleukin (IL)-6 cytokine using the RAW 264.7 murine cell line as a macrophage model. RAW 264.7 cells were cultured for 24 h in the presence of whole cells (WCs), cell walls (CWs), and cell-free extracts (CFEs) from various strains of Bifidobacterium and other lactic acid bacteria at various concentrations. The most effective component was different depending on the strains and the concentrations used. When tested with each cell fraction from Bifidobacterium sp. BGN4, heat treatment of the cell fractions lowered the production of IL-6. Synergistic effect was obtained, especially when CWs and CFEs were combined. Sonicated WCs stimulated IL-6 production more than intact WCs. The in vitro approaches employed here should be useful in further characterization of the effects of Bifidobacterium on gastrointestinal and systemic immunity.

The functionlized dendrimer containing 48 azobenzene was synthesized. Many isolated featureless domains were explicitly observed even at the air-water interface. Also, these monolayers were representatively observed, showing the change of surface pressure with irradiation time and wavelength. In AFM images. the larger domains irregularly shaped structures on the top while the smaller ones were free from such defects. In the optical absorption spectra of the LB films by UV irradiation and heat treatment, only photoisomerization of the G4-48Az monolayers was observed, a decrease of absorbance peak without change of the spectral shape. This suggests that optical behavior and morphological change are affected by the functional group and the symmetric chain.

Using metalorganic deposition technique, $La_2Ti_2O_{7}$ precursor solution was deposited on platinium coated SiO$_2$/SI(100) substrates by spin-coating process. Crystalline and crack-free films of ∼0.2$\mu\textrm{m}$ thickness were successfully fabricated on the above substrate from four different types of $La_2Ti_2O_{7}$ precursor solutions by proper heat treatment in the temperature range of $700^{\circ}C$∼$1200^{\circ}C$. Microstructure and X-ray diffraction analysis of $La_2Ti_2O_{7}$ thin film showed that the crystallization temperature and the preferred orientation of $La_2Ti_2O_{7}$ thin film were strongly dependent on the precursor used.

Transparent, crack-free dried gel monoliths with a composition of LiZr1.5Si2P2O12.5 have been synthesized by the low temperature polymerization of the Sol-Gel technique using metal alkoxides as starting materials. After initial reaction (20~40 min), each metal alkoxide closely paralleled each other during the hydrolysis reactions. The safe drying conditions of gels with no creaks the control of the shrinkage rate. The gels converted into the glass by heat treatment at 75$0^{\circ}C$. FTIR data indicated that the gels were phase separated into silicarich and phosphate-rich regions with the lithium. XRD results showed the formation of crystalline LiH2PO4. The gels dried at 15$0^{\circ}C$ or fired at 75$0^{\circ}C$ contained the residual water. The high ionic conductivity at room temperature for these gels was attributed to the motion of protons.

$Pb(Zr, Ti)O_3$ (Pb:Zr:Ti=1:0.52:0.48) thin films were prepared on single crystal MgO(100) substrates by dipping-pyrolysis process using a solution of constituent metal naphthenates as starting materials. The solution was spin-coated onto substrate and the precursor films were pyrolyzed at $200^{\circ}C$ in air or at $200^{\circ}C$ in argon for 1, 2, 5 and 24h, followed by final heat treatment at $750^{\circ}C$. For all the films, highly (h00)/(00l)-oriented Pb$Pb(Zr, Ti)O_3$ thin films with smooth surfaces and crack-free were obtained, whereas thin film pyrolyzed in air for 24 h exhibited polycrystalline character. According to the pole-figure analysis, epitaxy of the product films was found to depend on pyrolysis atmosphere.

We present a facile, yet versatile carbon nanofabrication method using electron beam lithography and resist pyrolysis. Various resist nanopatterns were fabricated using a negative electron beam resist, SAL-601, and were then subjected to heat treatment in an inert atmosphere to obtain carbon nanopatterns. Suspended carbon nanostructures were fabricated by wet-etching of an underlying sacrificial oxide layer. Free-standing carbon nanostructures, which contain 122 nm-wide, 15 nm-thick, and 2 ${\mu}m$-long nanobridges, were fabricated by resist pyrolysis and nanomachining processes. Electron beam exposure dose effects on resist thickness and pattern widening were studied. The thickness of the carbon nanostructures was thinned down by etching with oxygen plasma. An electrical biosensor utilizing carbon nanostructures as a conducting channel was studied. Conductance modulations of the carbon device due to streptavidin-biotin binding and pH variations were observed.

The crystallization of amorphous silicon (a-Si) was achieved using a field aided lateral crystallization (FALC) process at 350 $^{\circ}C$. Under the influence of an electric field, Cu is found to drastically enhance the lateral crystallization velocity of a-Si. When an electric field was applied to the selectively Cu-deposited a-Si film during the heat treatment at temperature as low as 350 $^{\circ}C$, dendrite-shaped crystallization of a-Si progressed toward Cu-free region and the crystallization from negative electrode side toward positive electrode side was accelerated. We identified that 1000${\AA}$ thick a-Si film was completely crystallized by Cu-FALC process at 350 $^{\circ}C$ by TEM analysis.

Squeeze casting has advantages to improve mechanical properties of nonferrous castings without losing high productivity. Sound pore free structure makes it possible to be subjected to heat treatment and welding. This process became popular to produce lighter automobile parts alternating cast iron parts. It has, however, two disadvantages of segregation and scattered structure due to the solidified layers in sleeve. In this study segregation behavior of squeeze cast Al-7%Si-0.3%Mg alloy bars was investigated using HVSC machine under various injection conditions. Degree of segregation decreased with injection pressure and effect of injection velocity on it was small. Segregation mode of solute was strongly governed by solidification mode and flow pattern.
