A pathway for the formation of normal $CoAl_2O_4$ particles is suggested. The optimal amount of malonic acid was determined, and the characteristics of the obtained powders were investigated. Normal $CoAl_2O_4$ powders were prepared using solutions of malonic acid and metal nitrates. X-ray diffraction, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) measurements, as well as Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and ultraviolet/visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy were carried out. Normal $CoAl_2O_4$ crystallites were formed by a solid state reaction between $CoAl_2O_4$ and amorphous aluminum oxide. The optimal molar ratio of malonic acid to the nitrate anions present in the initial solution was found to be 0.30~0.35. The particles were composed of agglomerates of primary particles. The primary particles were 40 nm in size. This size was relatively constant regardless of the preparation temperature. However, the size of the agglomerated particles increased to 220 nm with increasing temperature.

Effect of modified atmosphere packaging conditions on quality changes of dry jujube was investigated. Dry jujubes with moisture content of 26.7% were packaged in PET/Al/PE film pouches with modified atmospheres. The tested packages include those with normal air, vacuum, CO2 flushing, N2 flushing and O2 scavenger. Packages were stored at 25$^{\circ}C$ for 6 months, during which ascorbic acid concentration, browning level, titratable acidity and surface color were measured. Generally modified atmosphere packages could improve quality retention of dry jujubes except that vacuum package resulted in large surface color change. CO2-flushed package showed the best quality retention of high ascorbic acid content and low browning during 112 days, but caused high amounts of ascorbic acid destruction and browning in longer storage. In all the modified atmosphere packages titratable acidity reached a maximum followed by decline and subsequent rise, while it increased linearly with time in normal air package. Considering ascorbic acid retention browning level and surface color changes during 112 days, the packages of CO2 flushing and N2 flushing were better than others.

$WO_{3}$계 n-형 반도체 가스센서의 검지특성 및 전기적 특성을 조사하였다. 공기중에서 결합제가 첨가되지 않은 $WO_{3}:TiO_{2}$(4 wt. %) 센서의 낱알경계에서의 전위장벽의 크기는 0.26 V로 나타났으며, 결합제로서 $Al_{2}O_{3}$, PVA (polyvinyl alcohol ), silica sol이 첨가된 센서의 경우는 전위장벽이 각각 0.17, 0.22, 0.26 V로 관측되었다. 이들 시료를 $NO_{x}$가 120 ppm 첨가된 분위기에 노출시켰을 때, 결합제가 첨가되지 않은 센서의 경우는 낱알경계에서의 전위장벽이 0.59 V로 증가하였으며, 결합제로서 $Al_{2}O_{3}$, PVA, silica sol이 첨가된 경우는 전위장벽이 각각 0.43, 0.66, 0.52 V로 나타나, PVA가 첨가된 센서에서 전위장벽의 변화가 가장 높아 감도가 우수하게 되는 것을 알 수가 있었다. 한편 센서 최적 작동온도 이상의 온도에서 나타나는 감도의 감소는 흡착가스 입자의 탈착보다는 공기중에서 다결정이 보이는 저항의 온도 의존성에 따라 나타남이 판명되었다. 또한 결합제가 첨가되지 않은 센서와 결합제로서 Pt가 첨가된 센서의 경우, CO가 250 ppm 존재할 때까지도 전위장벽의 크기가 약 0.2 V로 공기중에서와 비슷한 크기를 나타내어, CO와 $NO_{x}$가 혼합된 분위기에서 $NO_{x}$만을 선택적으로 검지하는데 유리함이 밝혀졌다.
