An externally applied magnetic field during annealing the $Nd_{2}Fe_{14}B/Fe_{3}B$ based spring magnet was found to enhance the exchange coupling between the hard and soft magnetic grains. More than 30 % increase in remanence values for melt-spun $Nd_{4}Fe_{73.5}Co_{3}(Hf_{1-x}-Ga_{x})B_{18.5}$(x=0, 0.5, 1.0) alloys was resulted from uniform distribution of $Fe_{3}B$, $\alpha$-Fe as well as $(Nd_{2}Fe_{14}B)$, and also from reduced grain size of those phases by 20 %. The result also showed that there is an optimum grain size exhibiting a high coercivity value which will be discussed in terms of previously simulated exchange coupling parameter.

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been implicated in tissue development and re-modeling. Dynamic morphological changes of tooth germs reflect involvement of these enzymes during odontogenesis. The present study was performed to investigate expression and localization of MMP-2 and MMP-9, which have been known to have type IV collagenase activities, in rat tooth germs at different developmental stages. MMP-2 expression was increased gradually in the tooth germs from cap to crown staged germs at both transcription and translation levels. The localization of this molecule was detected in secretory ameloblasts and preameloblasts. The strong immunoreactivities were occasionally seen along the basement membrane between ameloblasts (or preameloblasts) and odontoblasts (preodontoblasts). However, weak reactivity was detected in odontoblasts and reduced enamel epithelium. The level of MMP-9 expression in the tooth germs was higher in cap stage than in crown staged germs at both transcription and translation levels. They were strongly expressed in both ameloblasts and odontoblasts. Even though reduced enamel epithelium after enamel formation and inner enamel epithelium at the cap stage exhibited weak reactivity, strong reactivity was detected in dental follicles and perifollicular tissues surrounding cap staged germs. These results suggested that MMP-2 may involve degradation of the basement membrane during hard tissue formation, whereas MMP-9 might be involved in remodeling of follicular tissues.

Series of unequal quantity Nd/Ce co-doped ceramic nuclear waste forms, (Gd, Nd)₂(Zr, Ce)₂O₇, were prepared to tailor its ordered pyrochlore or disordered fluorite structure. The phase transition, microtopography, and elemental composition of the ceramic samples were systematically investigated, especially the effect of order-disorder structure on the chemical stability. It was confirmed that unequal quantity of Nd/Ce could synchronously replace the Gd/Zr-sites of Gd₂Zr₂O₇. And the phase transition of order-disorder structure could be successfully tailored by regulating the average cationic radius ratio of (Gd, Nd)₂(Zr, Ce)₂O₇ series. The elements of Gd, Nd, Zr, and Ce are uniformly distributed in the ordered or disordered structures. The MCC-1 leaching results showed that (Gd, Nd)₂(Zr, Ce)₂O₇ pyrochlore ceramic nuclear waste forms had excellent chemical stability, whose elements' normalized leaching rates were as low as 10^-4-10^-7 g·m^-2·d^-1 after 7 days. In particular, the chemical stability of disordered structure was superior to that of ordered structure. It was proposed that the force constant and the closest packing were changed with the structure transformation resulting the chemical stability difference.

The purpose of this study was to examine dentin surface changes of extracted sound third molar specimens which were etched with 10% maleic acid and irradiated at $7-140J/cm^2$ with $CO_2$ and at $156-280J/cm^2$ with Nd:YAG laser. The results were as follows. 1. Dentin surfaces etched with 10% maleic acid and then irradiated at below of $42J/cm^2$ with $CO_2$ laser showed the retentive morphology for resin restoration. 2. Dentin surfaces irradiated at below of $42J/cm^2$ with $CO_2$ laser showed the increased acid-resistance. 3. Dentin surfaces irradiated at $218-280J/cm^2$ with Nd:YAG laser showed the retentive morphology. 4. Dentin surfaces irradiated at $218-280J/cm^2$ with Nd:YAG laser and etched 10% maleic acid and then $218-280J/cm^2$ with Nd:YAG laser showed the increased acid-resistance.

This paper presents a controller design technique for standard 2nd-order system satisfying user-specified phase margin. A simple method is presented to meet stability margin for the 2nd-order system, which is important since the 2nd-order plant models are frequently encountered in the practical plant models such as actuators of the optical drive systems. Through the comparison of the specified stability margin and achieved stability margin, it is shown in the simple example that the proposed technique is useful in the initial design of control systems with stability margin specifications.

These days, the importance of network structuring of partnered growth with 2nd and 3rd vendor is increasing among the issues of partnered growth. I show the status of 2nd and 3rd vendor based on the survey of 2nd and 3rd vendor and the policy review related with partnered growth of big companies and reviews the best practices and policies of network structuring of partnered growth such as USA, German, and so on. In this paper, I suggest the roles of government and parent company including big company based on the status of 2nd and 3rd vendor and the review of the best practices and policies of advanced foreign countries.
