In order to understand the electrostrictive behavior of Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbTiO3(PMN-PT) solid solutions the dielectric constants and the electric-field-induced strains in (1-x)PMN-xPT (x=0.0-0.4) were investigated in the temperature range -5$0^{\circ}C$-20$0^{\circ}C$. Powder of (1-x)Pb(Mg2/3Nb2/3)O3-xPbTiO3 (x=0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.35, and 0.4) were prepared from the oxide forms of Pb, Mg, Nb and Ti via a columbite precursor method As the amount of PbTiO3 increases the temperature of maximum dielectric constant(T$\varepsilon$max) increases and the phase transition become less diffusive. The strain maximum occurs only when the diffuse phase transition occurs from rhombohedral to cubic or rhombohedral to tetragonal as in x=0.1-0.35 The strains monotonically decrease with temperature in the materials in which phase transition occurs from tetragonal to cubic as in x=0.4.

This study was conducted to evaluate and compare new beer (NB) with market beers, e.g., New castle brown ale (NC), Victoria bitter (VB), and Coopers pale ale (CP) using physicochemical parameters. In addition, pattern recognition analyses were carried out using an electronic nose based on mass spectrometry (MS-E nose) and an electronic tongue (E-tongue) for differentiation of the different types of beer. The measured alcohol content of NB was 4.37%. NB was not significantly different compared with other types of beer with regard to bitterness unit, color, and polyphenol content (p<0.05). On the basis of the flavor pattern determined by the MS-E nose, NB was separated by DF1 (first score from discriminant function analysis), while NC, VB, and CP were located in the same group. The result of the E-tongue showed that the different samples could be clearly discriminated; NB was less sour. It was suggested that the discriminant function analysis (DFA) given by the MS-E nose and E-tongue could be used for evaluations during new product development. Furthermore, because of its simplicity, it might be possible to use the validated method for the evaluation of beer.

The crystallization behavior of the amorphous $Fe_{73.5}Cu_{1}Nb_{3}Si_{16.5}B_{6}$ alloy with isothermal annealing at $552^{\circ}C$ was studied by $M\"{o}ssbauer$ spectroscopy. The amorphous phase was revealed to coexist together with $Do_{3}-FeSi$ nanocrystalline and Cu-duster in annealed alloys by $M\"{o}ssbauer$ spectrum analysis. At the early stage of crystallization, Si content of FeSi is high due to the creation of Cu-cluster, and decreases with annealing until 60 minutes, which results in the increase in the mean hyperfine field of FeSi, and thereafter keeps constant. After 60 minutes, the decrease in the mean hyperfine field of the residual armrphous, in spite of a slight change in the volume fraction of the FeSi and the residual armrphous, is caused by the increase in the content of Nb and B in residual amorphous phase. Both directions of the hyperfine field, those of the FeSi and the residual amorphous, become randomly oriented in about 60 minutes. For FeSi and Cu-duster, the Avrami exponents are 0.51 and O.65, the activation energies are 2.35 eV and 2.44 eV, and the incubation times are 2.4 minutes and 0.8 minutes respectively. Earlier formation of Cu-duster than that of FeSi is coincidence with the fact that Cu atom promotes the nucleation of the FeSi.

The geology of the Apdong Nb-Ta deposit, is hosted by alkali metasomatites, consist of Upper Proterozoic sedimentary rocks, alkali syenites(Hoamsan intrusive) of Phyonggang Complex(late Paleozoic to early Mesozoic), Jurassic granite and Quaternary basalt. Alkali syenites are distinguished as alkali amphibole-pyroxene syenite, alkali amphibole-biotite syenite, biotite-nepheline syenite, biotite syenite, and quartz-alkali amphibole-pyroxene syenite. Alkali metasomatites are the products of intense post-magnatic metasomatism, and form the Nb-Ta ore bodies as the belt, irregular vein and lenticular types in the southern part of Hoamsan intrusive. The ore mineralization is characterized by the occurrence of pyrochlore, zircon, and small amounts of columbite, fergusonite. magnetite, fluorite, molybdenite, ilmenite, titanite, apatite, and monazite. Pyrochlore is one of the niobium/tantalum oxides and contains substantial amounts of rare earths and radioactive elements. The compositional varieties of pyrochlore can be defined: (1) enriched in tantalum, uranium and cerium, (2) substantially tantalum- and fluorine-poor, and (3) enriched in thorium or barium. The geochemical characteristics, ore textures and mineral occurrences indicate that alkali metasomatism of the mineralizing fluid was the dominant ore-forming process.

${(Fe_{0.85}Co_{0.15})}_{75}Al_{7}B_{18-x}Nb_{x}(x=2,\;4\;and\;6\;at%)\;and\;{(Fe_{0.85}Co_{0.15})}_{75}Al_{y}B_{21-y}Nb_{4}(y=3,\;5,\;7,\;9\;at%)$ alloys were prepared by a single-roll quenching method. Microstructure and magnetic properties of the alloys such as saturation magnetization, initial permeability, coercive force and power loss have been investigated as functions of composition and armea1ing temperature. Nanocrystallines are obtained by armealing of as-prepared amorphous alloys in all compositions except the alloy of 9 at% AI. Saturation magnetization increases after armea1ing and, decreases with Nb content. However, AI and B affects the saturation magnetization insignificantly. Initial perrreability of nanocrystallized alloy at 50 kHz is improved roore than twice compared to that of the as-prepared alloy. Coercive force and core loss reach less than half after armea1ing.

Major and trace elements were analyzed in three core sediments to investigate geochemical characteristics of East Sea sediments and provenance changes during late Quaternary in Ulleung Basin. Comparing with Yellow and South Sea sediments, contents of major elements were generally similar while contents of trace elements were significantly different. Furthermore, within this basin, there were some variabilities in trace element compositions. In the western slope sediments (WS), Mo was enriched over 6 times as much as other sites. On the other hand, Zr, Nb, Hf and Ta were enriched in basin sediments (Basin), and Ca and Cs were enriched in southern slope sediments (SS). After excluding elements derived from biogenic, authigenic and diagenetic origins, the lithogenic elements (K, Ti, Cs, Zr, Nb, Hf and Ta) could be classified into three groups from the comparison of element/Al ratios among cores. The first group consisted of elements (K and Ti) that showed the nearly similar element/Al ratios among three cores. The second group contained Cs which showed significant difference between two slope sediments. The third group elements (Zr, Nb, Hf and Ta) showed highly enriched in basin relative to both slope areas. The depth profiles of metal/Al ratios in basin sediments provided the following interpretation for the compositions of sediment and their variation. From 10,000 yr B.P. to 7,000 yr B.P. two lithogenic components (volcanic ashes and western slope sediments) were mixed and deposited in the basin. After 7,000 yr B.P., however, southern slope sediments were mixed with volcanic ashes and deposited in basin area. This event of source change is nearly close to inflow period of the Tsushima Warm Current to Ulleung Basin. Thus, it might be suggested that element geochemistry in Ulleung basin sediment indicate the change of current system in the study area.

Effects of Nb(Niobium) contents and solution annealing on the strength and fatigue life of 18%Ni maraging steel commonly using in aircraft, space field, nuclear energy, and vehicle etc. were investigated. Also the fatigue life stress intensity factor were compared experiment result and FEA(finite element analysis) result. The more Nb content, the higher or the lower fatigue life on base metal specimens or solution annealed specimens showing that the fatigue lift was almost the same. The maximum stresses of X, Y, and Z axis direction showed about $2.12{\times}10^2MPa,\;4.40{\times}10^2MPa\;and\;1.32{\times}10^2MPa$ respectively. The Y direction stress showed the highest because of the same direction as the loading direction. The fatigue lives showed about 7% lower FEA result than experiment result showing almost invariable error every analyzed cycle. Stress intensity factor of the FEA result was lower about $3.5{\sim}10%$ than that of the experiment result showing that the longer fatigue crack length the higher error. It considered that the cause for the difference was the modeled crack tip having always the same shape and condition regardless of the crack growth.

현재 상용 공급되고 있는 4종의 경수로 핵연료 피복관에 대해 노외 부식특성 시험을 수행하여 그 특성을 비교하였다. 이중 3종의 피복관은 제조공정을 달리하여 제조된 low tin Zircaloy-4 (피복관 A, B, C)이며, 1종은 Nb이 첨가된 Zr 합금 (피복관 D)이었다. 증류수내 Li 함량을 2.2 ppm, 30 ppm, 220 ppm으로 변화시키며 부식시험을 수행한 결과 최종 pilgering시 낮은 Q 인자와 높은 열처리 온도로 제조된 피복관 A의 내부식성이 대체로 우수하였으며, 220 ppm Li 수용액에서는 Nb이 첨가된 피복관의 내부식성이 매우 우수한 것으로 나타났다. Li 첨가의 영향을 보면 2.2 ppm Li 첨가시에는 증류수와 거의 동일한 부식거동을 나타내고 있으나 30 ppm Li 첨가시에는 부식이 가속되고 있었으며, 220 ppm Li으로 Li 함량이 크게 증가하였을 때 부식속도도 크게 증가하였다. 수소흡수율은 피복관 A에서 가장 높았으며, 피복관 D가 가장 낮은 값을 나타내었다.

The dependency of long-range order parameter on the ordered structure of $Pb(Mg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3$ solid solutions has been investigated by means of computer simulations of high-resolution lattice images. The computer image simulations were performed by the multislice method in a wide range of sample thicknesses, defocusing values, and long-range order parameters. It was found that the lattice images of the ordered structures were predominantly dependent on the long-range order parameter, The lattice images in a complete ordered structure showed a pseudo-hexagonal pattern. As the order parameter decreases, the simulated images changed slowly from a pseudo-hexagonal pattern to a rectangular pattern. The lattice images in a complete disordered structure showed a rectangular pattern. Also, the simulated images of the $Pb(Mg_xNb_{1-x})O_3$ with different Mg:Nb ratios obtained at a given long-range order parameter were basically the same patterns, irrespective of Mg and Nb compositions.

To evaluate the effect of Sn on the corrosion behavior of Zr alloys for nuclear fuel claddings, the corrosion tests on the binary Zr-xSn and the ternary Zr-0.4Nb-xSn alloys were performed in water at $360^{\circ}C$. The binary alloys containing 0.5, 0.8 and 1.5wt.% Sn showed the transition corrosion rate at 15 days. On the other hand, the binary alloy containing 2.0wt.% Sn showed a good corrosion resistance without the transition of corrosion rate up to 80 days. The corrosion rate of the ternary alloy increased with increasing Sn content. The difference of corrosion behaviors between binary and ternary alloys is considered due to the different solubility of Sn, Nb content and precipitates. The corrosions of Zr-xSn and Zr-0.4Nb-xSn alloys would be controlled by the fraction of tetragonal-$ZrO_2$and the amount of hydrogen pick-up.
