The aim of this experiment was to evaluate the effects of low crude protein (CP) level with essential amino acids (AA) addition on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, microbiota, and volatile fatty acid composition in growing pigs. A total of 160 growing pigs (Landrace × Yorkshire × Duroc [LYD]; average initial body weight 16.68 ± 0.12 kg) were randomly allotted to one of the four treatments on the basis of initial body weight. A randomized complete block design was used to conduct this experiment in the Research Center of Animal Life Sciences at Kangwon National University. There were ten pigs/replicate with four replicates in each treatment. The treatments include; CON (Control, 17.2% dietary CP level), low protein (LP)-1.10 (15.7% dietary CP level + 1.10% lysine level), LP-1.15 (15.7% dietary CP level + 1.15% lysine level), LP1.2 (15.7% dietary CP level + 1.20% lysine level). The pigs fed CON and LP-1.2 diet showed greater final body weight than that of LP-1.1 diet (p < 0.05). Although average daily gain, average daily feed intake, and feed efficiency did not show any difference in phase 2 and 3, average daily gain and feed efficiency was significantly greater in CON and LP-1.20 in phase 1. However, the average daily feed intake did not show any difference during the experimental period. Isobutyric acid and isovaleric acid composition of LP treatments were lower than CON treatment in phase 2. Total branched chain fatty acid composition was significantly lower in LP treatment in phases 1 and 2. However, there was no significant difference among treatments in phase 3. The results of this study underscore the importance of AA supplementation when implementing a low-protein diet during the early growth phase (16-50 kg) in pigs.

The composition and the microstructure of the Sn-Ni alloy electrodeposited in pyrophosphate bath were investigated according to the electrolysis conditions. The cathode current efficiency increased with the addition of $NH_4CI$ and glycine, while it decreased with the increase of current density. The Sn content of the alloy deposits increased with the increase of $NH_4CI$ in the bath. The alloys with 51~71wt.% Sn had the NiSn single phase structure. The preferred orientation of the single phase alloys changed from (110) to (110)+(101) with the increase of current density and cathode overpotential. The single phase alloys with 50~60wt.%Sn had the smooth surface structure with fine crystallite, while the multiphase alloys showed the surface structure with crystal size and cracks at high curret density.

We prepared polymer-PCM gels such as prepared frozen gel from polypropylene and n-Paraffin for thermal storage and release materials, their basic properties and possible applications especially in latent heat storage. The preparation methods are used to melting method and absorption method respectively. The composition and properties of prepared frozen gels from polypropylene and n-Paraffin were observed by DSC, FT-IR spectra, ARES and Elemental analysis. We can prepare frozen gels in different temperature for latent heat storage materials as controlling composition of phase change material as well as using different incorporating phase change materials. These frozen gels can be used to latent heat storage materials for several applications.

The effect of metal oxides($K_2O, MgO, CaO,Al_2O_3$, and $TiO_2$) on the kinds of pure $SiO_2$ phase, and $SiO_2$ phases in the composition of vitreous porcelain body was investigated. Also, the effect of the ratio $SiO_2$ to $Al_2O_3$ in the composition of porcelain body with stabilized of cristobalite phase was investigated. In the case of the addition of $K_2O, MgO, CaO, Al_2O_3$, and $TiO_2$ to pure $SiO_2$, the major phase was $\alpha$-cristobalite, $\alpha$-cristobalite, $\alpha$-quartz, $\alpha$-quartz and amorphous, respectively. As the ratio of $SiO_2$ to $Al_2O_3$ in the composition of porcelain body was decreased, the stabilization of cristobalite phase was promoted and only the critical value of $SiO_2/Al_2O_3$ ratio that stabilizing the cristobalite phase in it was 68.10/22.75. The addition of $K_2$O, MgO, CaO,Al_2O_3$, and $TiO_2$ to the composition of porcelain body stabilized already did not affect on the formation of $\alpha$-cristobalite phase which degraded the thermal properties of porcelain body, and suppressed the formation of a, $\beta$-cristobalite.

Yttria-stabilized zirconia(YSZ) nanopowders were prepared by sol-gel method using zirconium-n-butoxide(ZNB) and yttrium nitrate as precursors. In addition, the effect of water content added during the hydrolysis reaction of ZNB was investigated on the phase composition and pore structure of the product powders. The phase composition of YSZ nanopowders with calcination temperatures showed the same trend, irrespective of $H_2O$ amounts added during the hydrolysis reaction of ZNB. All powders dried at $100^{\circ}C$ were amorphous and transformed to cubic phase at $400^{\circ}C$, which converted to tetragonal phase at $1,000^{\circ}C$. Monoclinic phase also appeared at $1,000^{\circ}C$. The powders showed the mixture of tetragonal and monoclinic phases from $1,000^{\circ}C$ to $1,400^{\circ}C$. The pore size distributions of the dried powders prepared with small amounts of water(less than or equal to $H_2O/ZNB=20$) showed mesopores, while those prepared with large amounts of water(greater than or equal to $H_2O/ZNB=50$) exhibited micropores.

The Si5AION7 specimens containing 20% YAG composition have been sintered and then heat treated to induce the crystallization of the matrix glassy phase. Crystallization of YAG phase during the heat treatment was detected from the X-ray diffraction patterns and the consequent changes in room temperature toughness as well as in microstructures were investigated. Almost all the glassy boundary phase were found to crystallize even after 5 minutes of heat treatment and the KC at room temperature decreased accordingly. The results show that the matrix crystallization can be induced by slow cooling from the sintering temperature.

Extractive fermentations with the extract of Jerusalem artichoke in an aqueous-two-phase-system of polyethyleneglycol(PEG) and dextran(Dx) were investigated to obtain the effects of composition of PEG and Dx on both fermentation ,characteristics and partition ratio of alcohol. The specific growth rate of K. Fraglis CBS 1555 increased with a decrease of concentration of PEG and Dx. It augmented along with concentration of initial sugar up to 80g/l but decreased thereafter. The specific production rate of alcohol showed a rising tendency up to 100g/lof initial sugar, whereafter represented a decreasing trend. The partition ratio of alcohol between two phases augmented according to decrease of Dx comic. and increase of PEG cone. regardless of initial sugar concentrations. The ratio, however, decreased with Increment of initial sugar concentration at constant composition of PEG and Dx. The partition coefficient of alcohol had an ascending effect to the increase of PEG cone, but it had little effect on the changes of concentrations of Dx and initial sugar. The present study suggests that the optimum composition of PEG and Dx in the aqueous-two-phase-system by extractive fermentation were around 6.5%(w/v) of PEG and 3%(w/v) of Dx in considerations of emulsion state, sedimentation and separation of two phases, alcohol partition ratio, and specific growth rate.

Magnetization behavior of ultra thin $Fe_xCo_{1-x}$ alloy (where x varies from 0 to 100) has been investigated as functions of composition on Cr (100) substrate by using in situ surface magneto optical Kerr effect (SMOKE). It's always show in plane uniaxial magnetic anisotropy at room temperature (RT) & Low temperature (LT). It is observed that composition dependent coercive force maximum at about 30 at % Co and 70 at % Co atomic ratio and minimum near equiatomic site. The relative magnetic moments as composition variation also show magnetization collapse near equiatomic site. The magnetization behaviors of Fe-Co alloy on Cr (100) due to composition varies are supported the order-disordering as well as structural stability bcc (ferromagnetic)/fcc (anti-ferromagnetic) phase stability magnetism.

Unidirectionally solidified TiAl alloys were prepared by optically-heated floating zone method at growth rates of 10 to 70 mm/h in flowing argon. The microstructures and tensile properties of these crystal bars were found to depend strongly on the growth rate and alloy composition. TiAl alloys with composition of 47 and 50 at.%Al grown under the condition of 10 mm/h showed $Ti_3Al({\alpha}_2)/TiAl({\gamma})$ layer structures similar to single crystals. As the growth rate increased, the alloys with 47 and 50 at.%Al compositions showed columnar-grain structures. However, the alloys fabricated under the condition of 10 mm/h had a layered structure, but the alloy with increased growth rate consisted of ${\gamma}$ single phase grains. The alloy with a 53 at.%Al composition showed a ${\gamma}$ single phase regardless of the growth rate. Room-temperature tensile tests of these alloys revealed that the columnar-grained material consisting of the layered structure showed a tensile ductility of larger than 4 % and relatively high strength. The high strength is caused by stress concentration at the grain boundaries; this enhances the secondary slip or deformation twinning across the layered structure in the vicinity of the grain boundaries, resulting in the appreciable ductility.
