In this study, the nanosized ZnS thin films that can be used for fabrication of blue light-emitting diodes, electro-optic modulators, and n-window layers of solar cells were grown by the solution growth technique (SGT), and their surface morphology and film thickness and grain size dependence on the growth conditions were examined. Based on these results, the quantum size effects of ZnS were systematically investigated. Governing factors related to the growth condition were the concentration of precursor solution, growth temperature, concentration of aq. ammonia, and growth duration. X-ray diffraction patterns showed that the ZnS thin film obtained in this study had the cubic structure ($\beta$-ZnS). With decreasing growth temperature and decreasing concentration of precursor solution, the surface morphology of film was found to be improved. Also, the film thickness depends largely on the ammonia concentration. In particular, this is the first time that the surface morphology dependence of ZnS film grown by SGT on the ammonia concentration is reported. The energy band gaps of samples were determined from the optical transmittance values, and were shown to vary from 3.69 eV to 3.91 eV. These values were substantially higher than 3.65 eV of bulk ZnS. It was also shown that the quantum size effect of SGT grown ZnS is larger than that of the ZnS films grown by most other growth techniques.

The spherical nonagglomerated and uniform nanometer-size SiO$_2$particles are synthesized by the injection of TEOS vapor, irons and reaction gas in a furnace. Ions are generated by corona discharge and these ions charge SiO$_2$particles. As a result, spherical, nonagglomerated and ultrafine particles are generated in various conditions. Their morphology, charging portion and size distribution are examined by using TEM, ESP and SMPS. As the applied voltage of electrode changes from 0 to 5.0 kV, it is observed that the melon diameter of SiO$_2$particle decreases from 94 nm to 42 nm.

Thirty mandibular first molars were fixed, decalcified, washed and embedded in paraffin to observe the root canal size and morphology at apical 5mm area. The results were as follows 1. The 55% of mesial canals were single-canaled at apical 5mm area, but 95% of distal canals were single-canaled. 2. The morphology of canal at apical 5mm area were varied, most of them were round or ovoid and 8-shaped. 8-shapes of them were long, slender or long, thick. 3. The size of mesial canal was $1.8{\pm}0.2$, $0.6{\pm}0.1mm$, but that of distal canal was $1.0{\pm}0.2$, $0.6{\pm}0.1mm$ each.

In this study, we investigate the characteristic of the poly-Si grain and morphology influenced by XeCl excimer laser system. The stable laser beam source is basic requested; the irradiation beam through optical lens module is more important which limit the grain size smaller than $0.5{\mu}m$. The homogenization lens designs control the poly-Si grain size; so we hardly get enlarge grain size by one laser irradiation scan.

The rheocasting characteristics are strongly influenced by the microstructural morphology such as particle size, form factor and contiguity. In this study, the effect of structural morphology on fluid flow characteristics of A356 semi-solid alloy was investigated with a vacuum suction fluidity test. Semi-solid metal slurry was made by the mechanical stirring, the liquidus casting, and H-NCM to be analysed. H-NCM could obtain uniform and fine globular microstructures of 0.9 form factor and 55 ${\mu}m$ particle size. Inoculation was found to be effective for reducing particle size, however, for H-NCM it should be avoided due to the cause of increasing contiguity. The fluidity test indicated that the non-stirring method had higher fluidity and smaller liquid segregation in the same solid faction of 0.4 than the stirring method, for smaller particle size and higher form factor. It was observed that liquid segregation decreased as the particle size is smaller and form factor is higher. The results of die-casting experiment were a good agreement with those of fluidity test.

To synthesize Sn nanoparticles (NPs) less than 30 nm in diameter, a modified polyol process was conducted at room temperature using a reducing agent, and the effects of different pH values of the initial solutions on the morphology and size of the synthesized Sn NPs were analyzed. tin(II) 2-ethylhexanoate, diethylene glycol, sodium borohydride, polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP), and sodium hydroxide were used as a precursor, reaction medium, reducing agent, capping agent, and pH adjusting agent, respectively. It was found by transmission electron microscopy that the morphology of the synthesized Sn NPs varied according to the pH of the initial solution. Moreover, while the size decreased to 11.32 nm with an increase up to 11.66 of the pH value, the size increased rapidly to 39.25 nm with an increase to 12.69. The pH increase up to 11.66 dominantly promoted generation of electrons and increased the amount of initial nucleation in the solution, finally inducing the reduced-size of the Sn particles. However, the additional increase of pH dominantly induced a decrease of PVP by neutralization, which resulted in acceleration of the agglomeration by collisions between particles.

A plant-specific gene was cloned from melon fruit. This gene was named downward leaf curling (CmDLC) based on the phenotype of transgenic Arabidopsis plants overexpressing the gene. This expression level of this gene was especially upregulated during melon fruit enlargement. Overexpression of CmDLC in Arabidopsis resulted in dwarfism and narrow, epinastically curled leaves. These phenotypes were found to be caused by a reduction in cell number and cell size on the adaxial and abaxial sides of the epidermis, with a greater reduction on the abaxial side of the leaves. These phenotypic characteristics, combined with the more wavy morphology of epidermal cells in overexpression lines, indicate that CmDLC overexpression affects cell elongation and cell morphology. To investigate intracellular protein localization, a CmDLC-GFP fusion protein was made and expressed in onion epidermal cells. This protein was observed to be preferentially localized close to the cell membrane. Thus, we report here a new plant-specific gene that is localized to the cell membrane and that controls leaf cell number, size and morphology.

[ $Co_3O_4$ ] particles with non-aggregation characteristics were prepared by various conditions such as preparation temperature, flow rate of carrier gas, and concentration of spray solution using spray pyrolysis. The morphology and crystallinity of the preformed particles obtained by spray pyrolysis at various conditions affected the mean size and morphology of the post-treated $Co_3O_4$ particles. The preformed particles with hollow and porous morphology obtained from spray solution with citric acid and ethylene glycol turned to $Co_3O_4$ particles with nano size, regular morphology and non-aggregation characteristics after post-treatment at $800^{\circ}C$. On the other hand, the preformed particles obtained by the preparation conditions of short residence time of particles inside hot wall reactor and high reactor temperature turned to $Co_3O_4$ particles with aggregated morphology after post-treatment. The mean crystallite size and particle size of the $Co_3O_4$ particles prepared from optimum preparation conditions were 47 nm and 210 nm at post-treatment temperature of $800^{\circ}C$.

솔비톨의 형태와 입자크기가 무설탕 츄잉껌의 텍스쳐에 미치는 영향을 살펴보기 위하여 두 가지 형태인 치밀한 구조를 지닌 P-type과 듬성한 구조를 지닌 S-type의 솔비톨과 50 mesh와 100 mesh의 솔비톨을 사용하였다. 츄잉껌에 사용한 솔비톨 형태는 S-type이 P-type보다 더 유연하였고, 50 mesh의 솔비톨 보다 100 mesh가 더 유연하였다. 솔비톨의 강도는 S-type보다 P-type에서 컸으며 50 mesh보다 100 mesh에서 크게 나타났다. 이것은 덜 치밀한 구조를 지닌 솔비톨이 사용된 무설탕 츄잉껌이 높은 유연성과 낮은 강도를 보여 줌을 의미하고 입자의 크기가 작은 솔비톨을 사용할수록 무설탕 츄잉껌의 유연성과 강도가 증가됨을 의미한다. 그러므로 본 실험에서는 유연성이 높고 강도가 상대적으로 낮은 S-type의 솔비톨을 무설탕 츄잉껌의 원료로 선택하였다. 선택한 S-type 솔비톨이 함유된 무설탕 츄잉껌의 솔비톨의 입자크기에 따른 유연성과 강도를 측정한 결과 80 mesh 입자가 츄잉껌의 고체상 원료로 적합하였다. 80 mesh의 S-type 솔비톨이 함유된 무설탕 츄잉껌의 온도변화에 따른 유연성과 강도를 측정하였다. 실험 결과 온도가 증가할수록 무설탕 츄잉껌의 유연성은 증가하였으나 강도는 감소하였다.

입자의 크기와 형상을 제어할 수 있는 무기물질의 제한된 제조방법은 나노입자와, 의료, 전자부품, 반도체, 의약품, 화장품 등과 같은 다양한 산업영역에서 신물질을 개발하는데 중요한 요소이다. 탄산칼슘은 수많은 활용성 때문에 산업에서 가장 많이 주목받고 있는 물질중 하나이다. 용액결정화는 용액으로부터 녹아 있는 용질을 순수한 고체 형태로 추출하는 분리 공정으로, 화학공업과 제약공업 등에 널리 적용되어, 사용되고 있는 분리공정 중에 하나이다. 입자의 평균입경과 입도분포, 형상은 연속식 결정화기에서 중요한 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 연속식 결정화기에서 염화칼슘 공정으로 탄산칼슘 입자를 제조할 때, 정상상태에서 탄산칼슘 입자의 입도분포와 입경변화에 대하여 연구하였다. 입자의 평균입경과 입도분포는 입도분석기를 이용하여 측정하였으며, 입자의 형상과 크기는 전자현미경(SEM)을 이용하여 변화를 관찰하였다. 정상상태에서, 주입되는 시료의 농도와 혼합속도가 증가 할수록 입자의 평균입경은 증가하고, 제조되는 입자는 aragonite 보다는 calcite 입자가 주로 생성된다.
