Polycrystalline samples of $(Ru_{0.8}Nb_{0.2})Sr_2(Gd_{1.5-x}Nd_xCe_{0.5})Cu_2O_z$($ 0{\leq}x{\leq}1.25$) have been synthesized by a solid-state reaction route. The X-ray diffraction data revealed that the Nd solubility limit can be placed between x=0.5 and x=0.75. The superconducting transition temperature decreased with increasing Nd content, confirming that Nd entered the lattice. Room-temperature thermoelectric power measurements showed that all the samples are in the underdoped state and the partial substitution of Nd for Gd resulted in a decrease in the carrier density on the superconducting layers.

The effects of partial substitution of fluorine on physical properties were studied in Ag-sheathes tapes of $Tl_{0.8}Pb_{0.2}Sr_{1.8}Ba_{0.2} Ca_{2.2}Cu_3O_yF_x (0{\leq}x{\leq}1)$ nominal compositions. The tapes were prepared using the powder-in-tube method incorporating an in-situ reaction method. $CuF_2$ was used as a source of F. It was found that F-doping in Tl-1223 system resulted in a decrease in formation temperatire of Tl-1223 phase. and thus significantly deteriorated their superconducting properties. Such disadvantages seem to originate by the fromation of non-beneficial phases such as SrF2 in the early stage of the powder preparation process.

Partial replacement of Portland cement by slag can reduce the energy consumption and $CO_2$ emission therefore is beneficial to circular economy and sustainable development. Compressive strength is the most important engineering property of concrete. This paper presents a numerical procedure to predict the development of compressive strength of slag blended concrete. This numerical procedure starts with a kinetic hydration model for cement-slag blends by considering the production of calcium hydroxide in cement hydration and its consumption in slag reactions. Reaction degrees of cement slag are obtained as accompanied results from the hydration model. Gel-space ratio of hardening slag blended concrete is determined using reaction degrees of cement and slag, mixing proportions of concrete, and volume stoichiometries of cement hydration and slag reaction. Furthermore, the development of compressive strength is evaluated through Powers' gel-space ratio theory considering the contributions of cement hydration and slag reaction. The proposed model is verified through experimental data on concrete with different water-to-binder ratios and slag substitution ratios.

기체상에서의 이분자 친핵성치환반응에 대한, 고유한 반응성에 대하여 CNDO/2 방법의 분자궤도론적으로 논의 하였다. 친핵체 및 이탈기별로 반응물, 천이상태, 그리고 생성물에 대해 geometry optimization을 하고 구조와 형태를 고찰하였다. CNDO/2수준에서도 정성적인 논의가 가능하였으며 반응성은 친핵체의 염기도와 이로부터 유발된 분극력에 의해 지배되었다

The orthorhombic $MgB_2C_2$ structure contains well-separated parallel graphite-like $B_2C_2^{2-}$ layers which extend infinitely in two dimensions. Three possible ways to distribute B and C atoms in the hexagonal sublattice sites are adopted. Band structures for the hypothetical distribution patterns are examined to assess the electronic stability of these phases and to account for the observed arrangement by means of extended Huckel tight-binding calculations. The preferred choice is the layer with B and C alternating strictly so that B is nearest neighbor to C and vice versa. A rationale for this is given. Due to the alternation of B and C within the honeycomb layers, $MgB_2C_2$ is a band insulator, which through partial substitution of Mg with Li, is predicted to turn metallic with holes in the $\sigma$ bands at the Fermi level.

Cheju island is composed of volcanic tuff. The soil in Cheju island has principally sprung from basalt and partially made up of trachyte, and andesite. Also ancient relics, plain coarse pottery kilns and pantiles kilns are homogeneously distributed all over the Cheju island. In this study samples of plain coarse pottery and pantiles from five regions of Cheju island have been examined through X-ray fluorescence spectrometer and Mossbauer spectroscopy. It is thought that these samples be partially formed from neutral volcanic rock like trachyte and the valence state of iron is almost $Fe^{3+}$. Also the magnetic hyperfine field of goethite contained in these samples is less than synthetic goethite. This result shows the degradation of magnetic order caused by the partial substitution of diamagnetic positive ion $Fe^{3+}$ by $Al^{3+}$ in the goethite lattice.

The governing partial differential equation of flow in porous media is developed on the bases of the continuity equation of fluid for transient flow through a saturated-unsaturated zone, and substitution of Dercy's law. The numerical solution is obtained by the Galerkin finite element method based on the principle of weighted residuals. The analysis is carried out by using the unsteady storm data observed and the functional relationships between the hydraulic conductivities, capillary pressure heads, and volumetric water contents under saturated-unsaturated conditions. As the results the hydraulic conductivities, rates of change of storage and initial moisture conditions are significantly influened on the responses of subsurface flow on a hillslope.

Effects of tungsten (W) on the precipitation kinetics of secondary phases and the associated resistance to pitting corrosion of 25%Cr duplex stainless steels were investigated through microstructural and electrochemical noise analyses. With the partial substitution of W for Mo in duplex stainless steel, the potential and current noises of the alloy were significantly decreased in chloride solution due to retardation of the ${\sigma}$ phase precipitation. The preferential precipitation of the $\chi$ phase in the W-containing alloy during the early period of aging contributed to retarding the precipitation of the $\sigma$ phase by depleting W and Mo along grain boundaries. In addition, the retardation of the nucleation and growth of the $\sigma$ phase in the W-containing alloy appears to be attributed to the inherently low diffusivity of W compared with that of Mo.

To develop new type of sponge cake, the effects of partial (0~40%) replacement with Rubus coreanus powder (RCP) on the quality characteristics of sponge cakes were investigated. The pH level and moisture content ranged from 4.05~8.23 and 28.49~36.59, respectively, and significantly decreased upon addition of RCP (P<0.05). Baking loss rate and cake firmness significantly increased with higher RCP content in the formulation, whereas morphological characteristics of cakes such as height, volume, and symmetry indices significantly decreased (P<0.05). For crumb color values, $L^*$-and $b^*$-values significantly decreased while $a^*$-value significantly increased as a result of RCP substitution (P<0.05). Hedonic sensory results indicated that sponge cakes supplemented with 30~40% RCP showed the most favorable acceptance scores for most of the sensory attributes evaluated. Overall, Rubus coreanus sponge cake could be developed with comparable physicochemical qualities without sacrificing consumer acceptability.

The conformational preference of tetrahomodioxacalix[4]arenes with three different para substituents on the phenolic ring has been investigated by using ab initio molecular orbital theory (RHF/6-31$G^{\ast}$) and density functional theory (B3LYP/6-31$G^{\ast}$). The stability order is predicted to be cone > C-1,2-alternate > partial cone > 1,3-alternate > COC-1,2-alternate. The distorted cone conformation is found to be most stable in a gas phase and the calculated results are in agreement with the reported $^1$H NMR and X-ray experimental observations. The substitution of methylene with dimethyleneoxa bridges increases the size of the annulus of the molecule, its conformational mobility, and the number of hydrogen bonding patterns. The thermodynamic stability and the conformational characteristics of tetrahomodioxacalix[4]arenes are discussed in regards of the number of phenolic hydrogen bonding patterns and the polarity of a molecule. The substituent effects on the para position of the phenolic ring are also introduced.
