Sintering behaviors of the glass-alumina composites for low firing temperature were investigated as a function of the particle size of glass frit. The system of glass frit was Pb-B-Si-Al-O. The median particle sizes of the glass frits were 2.72$\mu\textrm{m}$, 2.67$\mu\textrm{m}$ and 1.33$\mu\textrm{m}$, which were prepared with changing ball-milling times as 24 h, 48 h and 96 h. The glass-alumina composites showed maximum density at certain temperature, and further heating led to dedensification behaviors, so called over-firing. The sintering temperature, which showed maximum density, raised from 425$^{\circ}C$ to 475$^{\circ}C$ with increase of particle size of glass frit from 1.33$\mu\textrm{m}$ to 2.72$\mu\textrm{m}$. Especially, the over firing behaviors, which were occurred at high sintering temperatures, were greatly increased with decrease of particle size of glass frit.

The sintering behaviors of the glass-alumina composites for low firing temperature were investigated as functiions of the volume fraction of alumina powder and the particle size with respect to porosity and pore shape. As the volume fraction of alumina powder was increased or the particle size of it was decreased, the sintering temperature of open pore-closing was raised. When the volume fractions of alumina which had 2.19$\mu\textrm{m}$ median diameter were increased with 20, 30, 40, and 50%, the sintering temperatures of open pore-closing were 425, 450, 475, and 500$^{\circ}C$. And when the median particle size of alumina was diminished from 2.19$\mu\textrm{m}$ to 0.38$\mu\textrm{m}$, the sintering temperature of open pore-closing was increased from 450$^{\circ}C$ to 475$^{\circ}C$. Especially, the sintering temperature, which showed maximum density, was corresponded with the stage of open pore-closing and after achieving maximum density over heating resulted in dedensification of specimen, so called, over-firing behavior.

This paper studies coverability tree and reach-ability set of Petri net under the earliest filing rule. Conventional algorithm for coverability tree for ‘normal’ Petri net is not good for Petri net under the earliest firing rule. More over, it is shown that there exists no coverability graph for general class of earliest firing Petri net. Some subclasses are studied where coverability graph can be constructed.

Screen printing technique followed by firing has commonly been used as metallization for both laboratory and industrial based solar cells. In the solar cell industry, the firing process is usually conducted in a belt furnace and needs to be optimized for fabricating high efficiency solar cells. The printed-Al layer on the silicon is rapidly heated at over $800^{\circ}C$ which forms a layer of back surface field (BSF) between Si-Al interfaces. The BSF layer forms $p-p^+$ structure on the rear side of cells and lower rear surface recombination velocity (SRV). To have low SRV, deep $p^+$ layer and uniform junction formation are required. In this experiment, firing process was carried out by using conventional tube furnace with $N_2$ gas atmosphere to optimize $V_{oc}$ of laboratory cells. To measure the thickness of BSF layer, selective etching was conducted by using a solution composed of hydrogen fluoride, nitric acid and acetic acid. The $V_{oc}$ and pseudo efficiency were measured by Suns-$V_{oc}$ to compare cell properties with varied firing condition.

GABAergic control over dopamine (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra is crucial for determining firing rates and patterns. Although GABA activates both $GABA_A$ and $GABA_B$ receptors distributed throughout the somatodendritic tree, it is currently unclear how regional GABA receptors in the soma and dendritic compartments regulate spontaneous firing. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine actions of regional GABA receptors on spontaneous firing in acutely dissociated DA neurons from the rat using patch-clamp and local GABA-uncaging techniques. Agonists and antagonists experiments showed that activation of either $GABA_A$ receptors or $GABA_B$ receptors in DA neurons is enough to completely abolish spontaneous firing. Local GABA-uncaging along the somatodendritic tree revealed that activation of regional GABA receptors limited within the soma, proximal, or distal dendritic region, can completely suppress spontaneous firing. However, activation of either $GABA_A$ or $GABA_B$ receptor equally suppressed spontaneous firing in the soma, whereas $GABA_B$ receptor inhibited spontaneous firing more strongly than $GABA_A$ receptor in the proximal and distal dendrites. These regional differences of GABA signals between the soma and dendritic compartments could contribute to our understanding of many diverse and complex actions of GABA in midbrain DA neurons.

Recently, metal cases are widely used in smart phones for their luxurious color and texture. However, when a metal case is used, electric shock may occur during charging. Chip capacitors of various values are used to prevent the electric shock. However, chip capacitors are vulnerable to electrostatic discharge(ESD) generated by the human body, which often causes insulation breakdown during use. This breakdown can be eliminated with a high-voltage chip varistor over 340V, but when the varistor voltage is high, the capacitance is limited to about 2pF. If a chip capacitor with a high dielectric constant and a chip varistor with a high voltage can be combined, it is possible to obtain a new device capable of coping with electric shock and ESD with various capacitive values. Usually, varistors and capacitors differ in composition, which causes different shrinkage during co-firing, and therefore camber, internal crack, delamination and separation may occur after sintering. In addition, varistor characteristics may not be realized due to the diffusion of unwanted elements into the varistor during firing. Various elements are added to control shrinkage. In addition, a buffer layer is inserted in the middle of the varistor-capacitor junction to prevent diffusion during firing, thereby developing a co-fired product with desirable characteristics.

Effect of calcium sulfate and barium sulfate on the formation of portland cement clinker was studied by means of chemical analysis. DTA and X-ray diffraction analysis. In the presence of liquid phase, effect of the additives on the formation of tricalcium silicate was examined according to the reaction, 2CaO.$SiO_3$＋CaO$\longrightarrow$3CaO.$SiO_3$, which is the principal reaction in portland cement clinkerization, and optimum conditions in firing clinker concerning amount of additive, firing time and temperature were determined, and its kinetics was referred to. The experimental results are summerized as follow: (1) Appropriate burning temperature range of cement clinker is more limited as the content of calcium sulfate in clinker is increased. Amount of calcium sulfate, firing time and temperature in proper condition of clinkerization is related to each others. Being added suitable quantity of calcium sulfate, firing temperature of clinker can be lowered about $100^{\circ}C$. (2) When 3-5 mole% of calcium sulfate is added, firing time of 15-30 minutes at about $1380^{\circ}C$ is reasonable, and if the content is over7 mole %, firing for 1 hr. or more at $1350^{\circ}C$ is anticipated to be optimum condition. (3) In the reaction of tricalcium silicate formation, the role of barium sulfate as a mineralizer is similar to that of calcium sulfate, but the optimum firing temperature of cement clinker containing barium sulfate tends to be 20-$30^{\circ}C$ higher than that of clinker containing calcium sulfate. (4) When barium sulfate is used as mineralizer, 2-3 mole % of it to tricalcium silicate is recommended and if it is added more than this amount, free CaO is increased rapidly in clinker and alite formation is inhibited.

Hydroxyapatite powder was synthesized by a citrate method, . Char-like precursor composed of Ca8(HPO4)2(PO4)4.5H2O (OCP) and CaCo3 was found via viscous resin-like intermediate by heating the mixed aqueous solution of Ca(NO3)2.4H2O(NH4)2HPO4 and citric acid. Resulted powder was transformed into hydroxyapatite phase by firing over 120$0^{\circ}C$-135$0^{\circ}C$ for 4 hr using the powder calcined at 90$0^{\circ}C$ for 10 hr composed of mostly single hydroxyapatite phase. The sintered densities increased with firing temperature up to 130$0^{\circ}C$ but the highest relative density was about 94% of theoritical value. indicating the presence of closed pores. The maximum 96 MPa of flexural strength was obtained at 120$0^{\circ}C$ firing but the flexural strength showed lower values over the above sintering condition. Vitro test was performed by immersing of two jointed specimens in SBF for seven days and adhesion was observed between two specimens.

소총 사격 중 발생하는 고온의 열은 총기의 성능을 저하시킬 뿐 아니라 사용자의 원활한 운용에 제한을 가져온다. 본 연구에서는 인간공학 설계 기준을 참조하여 사격에 따른 총열덮개의 온도변화를 측정하고 재질에 따른 운용성을 검토하였다. 인간공학 설계 기준은 피부에 직접적으로 닿을 경우 단열재를 필요로 하는 것을 명시하고 있다. 이에 따라 사격시험을 위하여 총열덮개의 재질별로 대한민국 제식소총 3종과 해외 모델 1종을 선정하였으며, 접촉식 온도 측정기를 이용하여 사격시험을 실시하였다. 시험결과 열전도도가 낮은 플라스틱 총열덮개를 사용하는 소총과 열전도도가 높은 알루미늄 총열덮개를 사용하는 소총 모두 낮은 온도에서 100발 이상 사격에도 맨손으로 운용이 가능하였다. 그러나 평균 대기온도에서 약 60발 이상 사격 시 알루미늄 총열덮개는 맨손으로 운용이 제한되며, 다량으로 빠른 시간에 사격이 이뤄질 경우 덮개 재질에 관계없이 총열덮개의 운용이 제한되었다. 소총의 발열에 의한 운용제한 해소를 위해서는 장갑 또는 손잡이, 덮개 등을 활용하여 피부와 직접적인 접촉 차단이 필요하다. 본 연구를 통해 소총의 열 위험에 대한 운용성을 파악할 수 있었으며, 타 소총 및 군수품의 인간공학적 설계를 위한 기초자료로 활용 될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
