We report on the phase transitions of the perovskite nanostructures made by sol-gel template synthesis. The lead titanate ($PbTiO_{3}$) nanostructures were prepared with a chelate sol-gel of titanium tetrabutoxide ($Ti(O^{i}Pr){4}$) and lead acetate ($Pb(OAc)_{2}-3H_{2}O$). $Whatman^{\circledr}$ anodisc membranes (with about 200 nm pore size) served as the template. The template was dipped into the sol, allowed to air dry, and then calcined at $650^{\circ}C$. We have characterized the temperatures of the phase transitions in the $PbTiO_{3}$ nano-structures using DSC, DTA, and second harmonic generation (SHG).

A new polymorph of tridymite, an incommensurately modulated phase (IC phase), has been identified. While the symmetry of the IC lattice is same as that of the Ll phase, the geometry of the IC lattice structure is same as the basis of the L3 structure with a different modulation (modulation vector q=0.22 $c*_{H}$;$\lambda$ 37 ). On the other hand, the characteristic curved diffuse diffration observed from the Ll atoms could occur even at room phase suggests that the dynamic disordering of atoms, especially oxygen atoms could occur even at room temperature. The phase transition of Ll to L3 by grinding is gradual but very conspicuous: LllongrightarrowL1+IClongrightarrowIC+L3longrightarrowL3. However, it is revealed that real transition processes of individual grains are directly related to the local stress fields and preexisting microstructures.

A new gait detection system using both FSR (force sensing resistor) sensors and a gyrosensor was developed to detect various gait patterns. FSR sensors were put in self-designed shoe insoles and a gyrosensor was attached to the heel of a shoe. An algorithm was also developed to determine eight different gait transitions during four gait phases: heel-strike, foot-flat, heel-off and swing. The developed system was evaluated from nine heathy mans and twelve hemiplegic patients. Healthy volunteers were asked to walk in various gait patterns: level walking, fore-foot walking and stair walking. Only the level walking was performed in hemiplegic patients. The gait detection system was compared with a optical motion analysis system and the outputs of the FSR sensors. In healthy subjects, the developed system detected successfully more than $99\%$ for both level walking and fore-foot walking. For stair walking, the successful detection rate of the system was above$97\%$. In hemiplegic patients, the developed system detected approximately 98% of gait transitions. The developed gait phase detection system will be helpful not only to determine pathological gait phases but also to apply prosthetics, orthotics and functional electrical stimulation for patients with various gait disorders.

Li rich Li1+xMn2-xO4(x=0.07) spinel powders were prepared by an oxalate precipitation of wet chemical methods at temperature lower than $600^{\circ}C$. The FTIR results showed that the powders prepared at $600^{\circ}C$ had high degree of crystal quality comparing with the spinel powders prepared by solid state reaction at 75$0^{\circ}C$ which was the lowest synthesis temperature of the solid state reaction method. The particle size of powders prepared by the oxalate precipitation at $600^{\circ}C$ was smaller than 0.2${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and the specific surface area was 11.01 m2/g A heat treatment over 90$0^{\circ}C$ formed second phase in the precipitates. It was shown that there were phase transitions at temperatures. T1,T2 and T2. The transitions involved weight loss and gain during heating and cooling. The low temperature synthesis below $600^{\circ}C$ avoided the second phase formation and the prepared powders showed improved compositional and physical properties for secondary lithium battery applications.

In this paper, a new size-reduced, wideband ring-hybrid coupler is presented, and a design of a planar single-balanced doubler using the ring-hybrid is shown. This ring-hybrid coupler employs a pair of ultra-wideband transitions for phase inversion, which consists of in-phase and out of-phase transitions providing a good amplitude and phase balances for wide frequency ranges. The implemented ring-hybrid is 65 % smaller than conventional ring-hybrids, and provides 92.5 % and 81.3 % bandwidth at $\sum$ and $\Delta$ ports, respectively. Thanks to good amplitude and phase balances over wide bandwidth, the ring-hybrid can be applied to implement various balanced components. The implemented single-balanced doubler utilizing the ring-hybrid exhibits typical conversion loss of 10.5 dB for the output frequency range of 4~12 GHz with fundamental suppression level of 30 dB. The performance was also well-predicted with the nonlinear circuit simulation.

The side chain liquid crystal triblock copolymers (TBCs), which underwent phase transitions below their decomposition temperature, were prepared by copolymerization of poly(n-butyl acrylate) and a comonomer containing the mesogenic azobenzene group. The physical properties of TBCs in the distinctive transition temperature ranges were investigated in terms of the liquid crystal (LC) content in the copolymers. The phase transition temperatures traced optically, thermally and rheologically were well coincided one another and clearly exhibited the phase transition of smectic-nematic-isotropic with increasing temperature. In the smectic phase, increasing temperature made the liquid crystal system more elastic, but viscosity (${\eta}'$) remained almost constant. In the nematic phase, increasing temperature abruptly decreased ${\eta}'$ and G', ultimately leading to isotropic phase. Both smectic and nematic phases exhibited Bingham viscosity behavior but the former gave much greater yield stress at the same LC content.

Phase separation is a thermodynamic process leading to the formation of compositionally distinct phases. For the past few years, numerous works have shown that biomolecular phase separation serves as biogenesis mechanisms of diverse intracellular condensates, and aberrant phase transitions are associated with disease states such as neurodegenerative diseases and cancers. Condensates exhibit rich phase behaviors including multiphase internal structuring, noise buffering, and compositional tunability. Recent studies have begun to uncover how a network of intermolecular interactions can give rise to various biophysical features of condensates. Here, we review phase behaviors of biomolecules, particularly with regard to regular solution models of binary and ternary mixtures. We discuss how these theoretical frameworks explain many aspects of the assembly, composition, and miscibility of diverse biomolecular phases, and highlight how a model-based approach can help elucidate the detailed thermodynamic principle for multicomponent intracellular phase separation.
