In present work, anode support for micro-tubular SOFC was fabricated with outer diameter of 3 mm and characterized with microstructure, mechanical properties and gas permeability. The microstructure of surface and cross section of a porous anode support were analyzed by using SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) image. The gas permeability and the mechanical strength of anode support was measured and analysed by using differential pressure at the flow rates of 50, 100, 150 cc/min. and using universal testing machine respectively. The unit cell composed of NiO-YSZ, YSZ, YSZ-LSM/LSM/LSCF was fabricated and operated with reaction temperature and fuel flow rate and showed maximum power density of $1095mW/cm^2$ on the condition of $800^{\circ}C$. The performance of single cell for micro-tubular SOFC increased with the increasing the reaction temperature due to the decrement of ohmic resistance of cell by the increment of the ionic conductivity of electrolyte through the evaluation of electrochemical impedance analysis for single cell with reaction temperature.

메기 정자는 그 길이가 약 62.5 \mu m이며 구형의 핵, 짧은 중편 및 꼬리를 ㄱ진 일반적인 메기류 정자의 미세구조적 특징을 나타내었다. 정자는 대부분의 경골어류의 정자에서와 같이 첨체를 가지고 있지 않았으며 염색질은 완전치 농축되어 있었다. 핵와(nuclear fossa)는 약 0.6 \mu m 함입되어 있었고 그 속에 기부 중심립과 말단 중심립의 일부가 포함되어 있었다. 두 중심립은 140 \circ C의 각도로 배열되어 있었으며 말단 중심립에서 9개의 부수체가 언형질막을 향하여 배열되어 있었다. 미토콘드리아는 중편 세포질에서 2층 또는 3층으로 배열되어 있었으며 핵의 후반부와 꼬리의 기부를 둘러싸고 있었다. 꼬리는 축사만으로 구성되어 있었으며 lateral fins는 관찰되지 않았다. 메기 정자의 가장 큰 구조적 특징은 중편 세포질에 구성되어 있는 관구조(tubular structure)이었다. 대부분의 경골어류의 정자는 중편 세포질에 미토콘드리아만을 포함하고 있으나, 메기 정자에서는 중편 세포질의 전반부에 미토콘드리아가 포함되어 있고, 후반부에는 소관이 모여 망상구조를 형성하는 관구조가 잘 발달되어 있었다. 이와 같은 관구조는 현재까지 Characiformes의 정자 이외의 다른 경골어류에서는 보고된 바 없으며 이러한 구조는Characiformes과 메기류의 계통학적 관계를 연구하는데 매우 중요한 형질로 여겨진다. ^u The spermatozoa of Silurus asotus are appoximately 62.5 \mu m in length and relatively simple cells composed of spherical head, a short midpiece and a tail as in most Siluriformes. The ultrastructure of the spermatozoa of S. asotus is characterized by the following features. The nucleus measuring about 1.5 \mu m in length is depressed with a deep nuclear fossa of about 0.6 \mu m in length, two fifth of the nuclear diameter. The fossa contains the proximal centriole and the half of the distal centriole. Two centrioles form an angle of approximately 140 \circ to each other. the nine satellite rays radiate from the outer surface of the distal centriole. the mitochondrea surround the basal nucleus and the axoneme, and are arranged in two or three layers in the postnuclear cytoplasm. The lateral fins are lost in the sperm tail. The most significant feature is manifested in the midpiece. The midpece comprises two parts, the mitochondria and the tubular structure unlike other teleost fishes containing only the mitochondria. The tubular structure was reported only in the spermatozoa of Citharinus belonging to the characiformes of teleost fishes. Thus it is considered to be a good characteristics for the study of phylogenetic link between Siluriformes and Characiformes.

The generation of $TiO_2$ nanoparticles by a thermal decomposition of titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP) was carried out experimentally using a tubular electric furnace at various synthesis temperatures (700, 900, 1100 and $1300^{\circ}C$) and precursor heating temperatures (80, 95 and $110^{\circ}C$). Effects of degree of crystallinity, surface area and anatase mass fraction of those $TiO_2$ nanoparticles on photocatalytic properties such as decomposition of methylene blue was investigated. Results show that the primary particle diameter obtained from thermal decomposition of TTIP was considerably smaller than the commercial photocatalyst (Degussa, P25). Also, those specific surface areas were more than 134.4 $m^2$/g. Resultant $TiO_2$ nanoparticles showed improved photocatalytic activity compared with Deggusa P25. This is contributed to the higher degree of crystallinity, surface area and anatase mass fraction of $TiO_2$ nanoparticles compared with P25.

We experimented on cutting characteristics-cutting force, behavior of cutting temprature, surface foughness, behavior of chips-under low tempdeature, which generated by liquid nitrogen (77K). The workpieces were freezed to -195 .deg. C and liquid nitrogen was also sprinkled on cutting area in order to increase the efficiency of machining in low temperature. The workpiece was became to -195 .deg. C in 5 minutes, and cutting temperature in CC was lower about 170 .deg. C than NC. The cutting force trended to increase slighty in cooled cutting, but chip thickness was decreased, shear angle was however increased. The form of chips was in good conditions of long or short tubular chips in CC. In CC surface roughness of workpiece was better than NC. In NC surface hardness of chips trended to increase according to increasing of cutting speed, but in CC it trended to decrease. The power spectrum of vertical cutting force trended to increase according to increasing of feed, and in CC it was higher than NC.

Silicon carbide and its composites are being considered as a nuclear fuel cladding material for LWR nuclear reactors because they have a low neutron absorption cross section, low hydrogen production under accident conditions, and high strength at high temperatures. The SiC composite cladding tube considered in this study consists of three layers, monolith CVD SiC - $SiC_f$/SiC composite -monolith CVD SiC. The volume fraction of SiC fiber and surface roughness of the composite layer affect mechanical and corrosion properties of the cladding tube. In this study, various types of SiC fiber preforms with tubular shapes were fabricated by a filament winding method using two types of Tyranno SA3 grade SiC fibers with 800 filaments/yarn and 1600 filaments/yarn. After chemical vapor infiltration of the SiC matrix, the surface roughness and fiber volume fraction were measured. As filament counts were changed from 800 to 1600, the surface roughness increased but the fiber volume fraction decreased. The $SiC_f$/SiC composite with a bamboo-like winding pattern has a smaller surface roughness and a higher fiber volume fraction than that with a zigzag winding pattern.

The anatomical study of the olfactory organ in Liobagrus somjinensis, being related to the habitat environment and ecological habit, was carried out using a stereomicroscopy and digital camera. The paired olfactory organs are situated at the dorsal part of the snout, and consisted of two opening (anterior and posterior nostrils) and the olfactory chamber. The tubular anterior nostril is located between the tip of upper lip and the nasal barbel. The posterior nostril flat to the surface is adjacent entirely to the basement of the nasal barbel. The olfactory chamber has a rosette structure with 22~24 lamellae of linguiform, arranged transversely and radially from the medium raphe. These results may prove that L. somjinensis is dependent on olfaction, related to the hiding, the feeding and the nocturnal lifestyle in rapids.

Soot particles emitted from combustion processes are often coated by non-absorbing organic materials, which enhance the global warming effect of soot particles. It is of importance to study the condensation characteristics of soot particles experimentally and theoretically to reduce the uncertainty of the climate impact of soot particles. In this study, the condensational growth of soot particles in a tubular coater was modeled by a one-dimensional (1D) plug flow model and a two-dimensional (2D) laminar flow model. The effects of 2D heat and mass transports on the predicted particle growth were investigated. The temperature and coating material vapor concentration distributions in radial direction, which the 1D model could not accounted for, affected substantially the particle growth in the coater. Under the simulated conditions, the differences between the temperatures and vapor concentrations near the wall and at the tube center were large. The neglect of these variations by the 1D model resulted in a large error in modeling the mass transfer and aerosol dynamics occurring in the coater. The 1D model predicted the average temperature and vapor concentration quite accurately but overestimated the average diameter of the growing particles considerably. At the outermost grid, at which condensation begins earliest due to the lowest temperature and saturation vapor concentration, condensing vapor was exhausted rapidly because of the competition between condensations on the wall and on the particle surface, decreasing the growth rate. At the center of the tube, on the other hand, the growth rate was low due to high temperature and saturation vapor concentration. The effects of Brownian diffusion and thermophoresis were not high enough to transport the coating material vapor quickly from the tube center to the wall. The 1D model based on perfect radial mixing could not take into account this phenomenon, resulting in a much higher growth rate than what the 2D model predicted. The result of this study indicates that contrary to a previous report for a thermodenuder, 2D heat and mass transports must be taken into account to model accurately the condensational particle growth in a coater.

In this study, we proposed new forming process for a porous ceramic body with unique pore structure. h tubular-type porous NiO-YSZ body with radially aligned pore channels was prepared by freeze-drying of aqueous slurry. A NiO-YSZ slurry was poured into the mold, which was designed to control the crystallization direction of the ice, followed by freezing. Thereafter the ice was sublimated at a reduced pressure. SEM observations revealed that the NiO-YSZ porous body showed aligned large pore channels parallel to the ice growth direction, and fine pores are formed around the outer surface of the tube. It was considered that the difference in the ice growth rate during the freezing process resulted in such a characteristic microstructure. Bilayer consisting of dense thin electrolyte film of YSZ onto the tubular type porous body has been successfully fabricated using a slurry-coating process followed by co-firing. It was regarded that the obtained bilayer structure is suitable for constructing electrode-support type electrochemical devices such as solid oxide fuel cells.

This work was focused on the thermal decomposition of methane into hydrogen and carbon black without emitting carbon dioxide. Extensive experimental investigation on the thermal decomposition of methane has been carried out using a continuous flow reaction system with tubular reactor. The experiments were conducted at the atmospheric pressure condition in the wide range of temperature ($950-1150^{\circ}C$) and flow rate (250 - 1500 ml/min) in order to study their dependency on hydrogen yield. During the experiments the carbon black was successfully recovered as an useful product. Undesirable pyrocarbon was also formed as solid film, which was deposited on the inside surface of tubular reactor. The film of pyrocarbon in the reactor wall became thicker and thicker, finally blocking the reactor. The design of an efficient reactor which can effectively suppress the formation of pyrocarbon was thought to be one of the most important subjects in the thermal cracking of methane.
