Potato Rpi-blb2 encodes a protein with a coiled-coil-nucleotide binding site and leucine-rich repeat (CC-NBSLRR) motif that recognizes the Phytophthora infestans AVRblb2 effector and triggers hypersensitive cell death (HCD). To better understand the components required for Rpi-blb2-mediated HCD in plants, we used virus-induced gene silencing to repress candidate genes in Rpi-blb2-transgenic Nicotiana benthamiana plants and assayed the plants for AVRblb2 effector. Rpi-blb2 triggers HCD through NbSGT1-mediated pathways, but not NbEDS1- or NbNDR1-mediated pathways. In addition, the role of salicylic acid (SA), jasmonic acid (JA), and ethylene (ET) in Rpi-blb2-mediated HCD were analyzed by monitoring of the responses of NbICS1-, NbCOI1-, or NbEIN2-silenced or Rpi-blb2::NahG-transgenic plants. Rpi-blb2-mediated HCD in response to AVRblb2 was not associated with SA accumulation. Thus, SA affects Rpi-blb2-mediated resistance against P. infestans, but not Rpi-blb2-mediated HCD in response to AVRblb2. Additionally, JA and ET signaling were not required for Rpi-blb2-mediated HCD in N. benthamiana. Taken together, these findings suggest that NbSGT1 is a unique positive regulator of Rpi-blb2-mediated HCD in response to AVRblb2, but EDS1, NDR1, SA, JA, and ET are not required.

치과 임프란트의 상부구조물로 응용하기 위해 Zr $O_2$, $Y_2$ $O_3$, Nb$_2$ $O_{5}$를 각각 90.24, 5.31, 4.45mo1%씩 혼합한 정방정 지르코니아 고용체에 알루미나를 부피비로 10-90%를 10vo1%간격으로 첨가하여 (Y, Nb)-TZP/알루미나 복합체를 제조하였다. 최적의 기계적 물성은 알루미나를 10vo1% 첨가했을 때 이축 곡강도는 900MPa이었으며 파괴인성은 8.9MPam$^{1}$2/이었고 20$0^{\circ}C$ 오토크레이브하에서 10시간 열처리했을 때 저온열화가 관찰되지 않았다. 복합체를 임프란트 상부구조물로 제작하여 40명의 환자에게 총 65개를 시술한 후 2년 동안 관찰한 결과 부작용이나 나사의 풀림 또는 파절이 전혀 일어나지 않아 우수한 임상결과를 보였다.

Nb$_2$O$_{5}$와 MnO 첨가에 따른 Pb$_{0.6}$Sr$_{0.4}$TiO$_3$반도체 세라믹의 미세구조와 전기적 특성은 유전특성, I(current)-V(voltage) 측정, 그리고 복소 임피던스 측정 등을 이용하여 고찰하였다. Nb 도핑량이 0.4 mol% 이하인 경우 Nb 도핑량에 따라 전도성과 입성장은 증가되었으나 그 이상의 도핑량에서는 Sr이나 Pb 공공의 생성으로 인하여 전도성이 감소되고 입성장도 억제되는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. 0.4 mol% Nb-doped Pb$_{0.6}$Sr$_{0.4}$TiO$_3$에 0.01 mol% MnO를 첨가한 경우 비저항비($ ho$$_{max}$/$\rho$/min/)가 $10^2$에서 $10^4$으로 크게 향상되었다. 그리고 전이 온도 주변에서 여러 개의 변곡점을 지니는 비옴성 거동이 발견되었다. 이와 같은 현상은 입계에 존재하는 Mn 이온이 부분적으로 편석되어 표면 전하의 보상 효과에 영향을 미치는 것이라고 사료된다.

$\alpha$-Fe를 주상으로 하는 새로운 Nd-Fe-B계 합금을 개발하기 위하여 Nd 함유량을 4at.%로 고정시킨 Nd-Fe-B 초미세결정립합금의 제조 및 자기특성이 조사되었다. 급속응고법으로 제조된 $Nd_{4}Fe_{85.5}B_{10.5}$ 비정질합금은 결정화하여 $\alpha$-Fe 기지상에 $Nd_{2}Fe_{14}B$이 형성되나 자기특성${_{i}H_{c}=95.5kA/m(1.2kOe),\;Br=1.2T}$은 열화된다.

Nb-doped $TiO_2$(NTO) coated NiCrAl alloy foam for hydrogen production is prepared using ultrasonic spray pyrolysis deposition(USPD) method. To optimize the size and distribution of NTO particles based on good physical and chemical stability, we synthesize particles by adjusting the weight ratio of the Nb precursor solution(5 wt%, 10 wt% and 15 wt%). The morphological, chemical bonding, and structural properties of the NTO coated NiCrAl alloy foam are investigated by X-ray diffraction(XRD), X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy(XPS), and Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy(FESEM). As a result, the samples of controlled Nb weight ratio exhibit a common diffraction pattern at ${\sim}25.3^{\circ}$, corresponding to the(101) plane, and have chemical bonding(O-Nb=O) at 534 eV. The NTO particles with the optimum weight ratio of N (10 wt%) show a uniform distribution with a size of ~18.2-21.0 nm. In addition, they exhibit the highest corrosion resistance even in the electrochemical stability estimation. As a result, the introduction of NTO coated NiCrAl alloy foam by USPD improves the chemical stability of the NiCrAl alloy foam by protecting the direct electrochemical reaction between the foam and the electrolyte. Thus, the optimized NTO coating can be proposed for excellent protection of NiCrAl alloy foam for hydrocarbon-based steam methane reforming(SMR).

Hydrogen and hydrogen energy have been recognized as clean energy sources and high energy carrier. Mg and Mg alloys are attractive hydrogen storage materials because of their lightweight and low cost materials with high hydrogen capacity (about 7.6 wt.%). However, the commercial applications of the Mg hydrides are currently hinder by its high absorption/desorption temperature, and very slow reaction kinetics. However, Ti and Ti based hydrogen storage alloys have been thought to be the third generation of alloys with a high hydrogen capacity, which makes it difficult to handle because of high reactivity. One of the most methods to develope kinetics was addition of transition metal. Therefore, Mg-Ti-Cr-Nb alloy was fabricated to add TiCrNb by hydrogen induced mechanical alloying. TiCrNb systems have included transition metals, low operating temperatures and hydrogen storage materials. As-received specimens were characterized using X-ray Diffraction analysis (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Thermo Gravimetric analysis/Differential Scanning Calorimetry (TG/DSC). $Mg-TiCr_{10}Nb$ systems were evaluated for hydrogen kinetics by Sievert's type Pressure-Composition-Isotherm (PCI) equipment. The operating temperature range was 473, 523, 573 and 623 K.

The effects of additional elements on the mechanical properties of HSLA cast steels such as hardness, tensile strength and charily impact energy have been investigated. Test results showed the mechanical properties of HSLA cast steels were superior to those of C-Mn cast steels. In case of the HSLA cast steels, HSLA cast steels with all addition of Nb, V, and Ti had more excellent tensile strength than those with individual addition of Nb, V, or Ti. The tensile strengths of HSLA cast steels were increased as the Mo contents were increased from 0.25% to 0.5%. These are attributed to the solution hardening and the change of the precipitation kinetics of NbC due to increased Mo contents. The tensile strength of HSLA cast steel was remarkablely increased as the manganese contents were increased from 0.65% to 1.2% and 1.5%, respectively. However, the optimum composition of HSLA cast steels to obtain the best compromise between tensile strength and charily impact energy compared to C-Mn cast steel was the additions of0.1% C and 1.2% Mn.

In this study, in order to develop the lead free piezoelectric ceramics with excellent piezoelectric properties, (Na,K)$NbO_3$ ceramics according to the amount CuO addition were fabricated using a conventional mixed oxide process and their piezoelectric and dielectric characteristics were investigated.

Dense $0.95(Na_{0.5}K_{0.5})NbO_3-0.05LiTaO_3$ (NKN-5LT) ceramics were developed by conventional sintering process. Sintering temperature was lowered by adding $Na_2CO_3$ as a sintering aid. The electrical properties of NKN-5LT ceramics were investigated as a function of $Na_2CO_3$ concentration. When the sample sintered at $1000^{\circ}C$ for 4 h with the addition of 1 mol% $Na_2CO_3$, electro-mechanical coupling factor $(k_p)$ and piezoelectric coefficient $(d_{33})$ of NKN-5LT ceramics were found to reach the highest values of 0.43 and 190 pC/N, respectively.

ZnO was doped up to 0.3 wt% for improving the electrical properties of lead-free $[Li_{0.04}(Na_{0.44}Ko_{0.52})-(Nb_{0.86}\;Ta_{0.10}\;Sb_{0.04})]O_3$ piezoelectric ceramics. The ceramics were fabricated with the conventional sintering processes. Crystal structure of the samples was tetragonal phase regardless of ZnO amount. However, the piezoelectric properties were varied with the ZnO amount. The electro-mechanical coupling factor $(k_p)$ was with the ZnO amount up to 0.2 wt% but decreased with the further addition. the maximum value of $k_p$ was 0.475. Density, piezoelectric charge constant and relative dielectric constant was also showed maximum value at 0.2 wt%. The maximum values are $4.75g/cm^3$, 275 pC/N, 1403, respectively. In contrast, the mechanical quality factor $(Q_m)$ was not varied with increasing the ZnO addition up to 0.2 wt% but rapidly increased at 0.3 wt%.
