The sintering behavior and B-H loop properties of $Li_{0.5O4}$ with the addition of $Nb_2O_5$ and $V_2O_5$ have been investigated by observation of microstructures and measurement of semi-static hysteresis loops. The sintering temperature was lowered by the additions of $Nb_2O_5$ and $V_2O_5$ and the effect of $V_2O_5$ addition was greater than that of $Nb_2O_5$. The abnormal grain growth was observed at about 100$0^{\circ}C$(d:4.6g/㎤) and 85$0^{\circ}C$(d:4.5g/㎤) in the specimens with the addition of $Nb_2O_5$ and $V_2O_5$ respectively. The addition of $Nb_2O_5$ retulted in a large and uniform grain size, and the addition of $V_2O_5$ resulted in a uniform grain size but the final density was lower than that of the pure specimen. The squareness was increased and the coercive force was decreased by the addition of $Nb_2O_5$, and the squareness was decreased and the coercive force was increased by the addition of $V_2O_5$. These effects could be explained by a large and uniform grain size, and by a lower final density of specimens with the addition of $Nb_2O_5$ and $V_2O_5$ respectively.

The change in microstructure and the electrical properties of Pb(In1/2Nb1/2)O3-PbTiO3 Ceramics caused by V2O5 addition were studied. The results are ; 1. interability was increased because the mass transport through the second phase formed by V2O5 addition increased. 2. ith addition of V2O5, tetragonality and Curie temperature increased. The maximum value of kp was observed when 0.5wt% of V2O5 was added. 3. he second phase formed by V2O5 accelerated the grain growth, and existed in grain boundary. Electrical properties were changed by corelations between tetragonality and the amount of second phase.

Lipomyces starkeyi KSM 22 produces dextranase and amylase (DXAMase). The addition of 0.02％ (w/v) 2-deoxy-D-glucose or 0.5% (w/v) glycerol into a 1% (w/v) starch medium increased the final activity of DXAMase produced 2.5 fold or 2.4 fold, respectively, compared to that of a 1% (w/v) starch medium. This activity was similar to that produced with 1% (w/v) dextran. The stability of purified OXAMase at 40$\^{C}$ for 3 weeks was tested using the various enzyme stabilizers. With the addition of 25% (v/v) glycerol, 90.9% of initial activity was left after 3 weeks. For practical use, the addition of 1% (v/v) glycerol with 50 mM of CaCl$_2$ or KH$_2$PO$_4$was adequate and maintained 73.4% of the initial activity under the test conditions used.

As a basic research for developing 600 MPa yield strength reinforcing steel bars, the strengthening of 0.25 wt.% carbon steel by vanadium addition was studied. The changes of microstructure and mechanical properties were investigated for the specimen V0 (0.00 wt.% V), V1 (0.03 wt.% V) and V2 (0.06 wt.% V) processed by various heat treatments. To set the heat treatment conditions, the continuous cooling transformation (CCT) curves were drawn for austenitizing temperatures of $900^{\circ}C$ and $1100^{\circ}C$. For specimens tempered at $600^{\circ}C$ after quenching from $900^{\circ}C$ and $1100^{\circ}C$, yield strength was increased by 19 MPa and 21 MPa for 0.01 wt % V addition, and tensile strength was increased by 25 MPa and 28 MPa for 0.01 wt % V addition, respectively. Also, for 0.06 wt.% V added specimens tempered after quenching and normalized, tensile strength was increased by 50 MPa and 30 MPa for increasing austenitizing temperature of $100^{\circ}C$, respectively.

The effects of Ag addition to Zr-based hydrogen storage alloys ($Zr_{0.7}Ti_{0.3}V_{0.4}Ni_{1.2}Mn_{0.4}$, $Zr_{0.7}Ti_{0.3}V_{0.4}Ni_{1.2}Mn_{0.3}Cr_{0.1}$ and $Zr_{0.6}Ti_{0.4}V_{0.4}Ni_{1.2}Mn_{0.3}Fe_{0.1}$) on the electrode properties were examined. Ag-free and Ag-added Ze-based alloys were prepared by arc melting, crushed mechanically, and subjected to the electrochemical measurement. In $Zr_{0.7}Ti_{0.3}V_{0.4}Ni_{1.2}Mn_{0.4}$ alloy, 0.08 wt% Ag addition to the alloy improved the activation rate. Also Ag addition improved both activation property and discharge capacity in $Zr_{0.7}Ti_{0.3}V_{0.4}Ni_{1.2}Mn_{0.3}Cr_{0.1}$. For these Ag-added alloys, discharge capacities with the change of charge-discharge current density(10mA, 15mA and 30mA) are almost constant. Showing very high rate capability, discharge capacity of $Zr_{0.6}Ti_{0.4}V_{0.4}Ni_{1.2}Mn_{0.3}Fe_{0.1}$ alloy increased by Ag addition to the alloy. When the amount of Ag addition in $Zr_{0.7}Ti_{0.3}V_{0.4}Ni_{1.2}Mn_{0.4}$ alloy increased too much, the electrode properties became worse. Unveiling mechanism of effect of Ag addition is now progressing in our laboratory.

The microstructures and memory core characteristics of substituted lithium ferrites with addition of $Bi_2O_3$, $V_2O_5$, $Nb_2O_3$, and $P_2O_5$ were investigated. The effects of composite flux on the sintering of the substituted lithium ferrites were also studied. The results show that the addition of $Bi_2O_3$, $V_2O_5$, and $Nb_2O_5$ enhances sintering whereas $Sb_2O_3$ and $P_2O_5$ inhibits it, and that the addition of $Nb_2O_5$ results in uniform grain size while the addition of $Bi_2O_3$ or $V_2O_5$ results in non-uniformity in grain size. When $P_2O_5$ was added with $V_2O_5$ or $Bi_2O_3$, however, it results in uniform grain size and improved memory core properties.

In order to study the infuence of Sb addition on the compacted vermicular graphite cast iron(C/V) and gray cast iron(GC), these specimen which had different Sb content(0-0, 1wt.%) were prepared. these specimen were tested for microstructure and mechanical properties. The result from this study are as follows. For C/V and GC, the microstructure of graphite appeared to be finer with increasing Sb content more than 0.06wt.% Ferrite disappeared from the matrix with addition of Sb more than 0.06wt.% in GC and more than 0.08wt.% in C/V. The size of the eutectic cell in GC was 4.5 to 7 times larger than that in C/V, but the decreasing tendancy of its size was more remarkable in GC than in C/V with increasing Sb content. The abrasion speed corresponding to the maximum amount of abrasion in the nabrasion test was found to be 1.37m/sec. GC sample weared 3.6 to 21 times faster than those of C/V did. the amount of abrasion demeased remarkably with Sb addition, and the abrasion rate was constant with Sb content over 0.04wt.%

The effect of V2O5 addition on the low temperature sintering of Pb(Mn1/3Sb2/3)O3-PZT ceramics, which is known as a prominent material for piezoelectric transformer application was studied, and the densification behavior and piezoelectric characteristics of the samples as a function of heating rate were also examined. V2O5 led the system to liquid phase sintering by forming liquid phase during sintering, which accelerated densification through the particle rearrangement in the early stage of sintering. The liquid phase mostly existed at grain boundaries retarded the evaporation of PbO, while the densification temperature and the weight loss of V2O5-free samples were higher than those of samples with V2O5. Faster heating improved the densification of the samples regardless of V2O5 addition. The low temperature sintering at 100$0^{\circ}C$ was achieved in PMS-PZT ceramics with high density and reasonable dielectric and piezoelectric characteristics. This result revealed optimistic way to the development of multi-layered piezoelectric transformers.

$\beta $-Glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.21) was purified from Aspergillus niger SFN-416 by a sequential process of ammonium sulfate precipitation, Sepadex G-100 and DEAE-Sephacel column chromatography. Molecular weight of the enzyme was 46, 000 daltons. The K$_{m}$ and V$_{max}$ values for PNPG were 0.67 mM and 25 moles/ml $\cdot $min., respectively. The optimum pH and temperature of the enzyme activity were 3.5 and 58$\circ $C, respectively. The enzyme activity was decreased by addition of metal ions, and increased by addition of metanol, ethanol, isopropanol and 1-butanol at a concentration of 10% (v/v). Stability of the enzyme was increased by addition of isopropanol and 1-butanol at a concentration of 10% (v/v).

The effects of $V_2O_5$ addition as an additive on the densification, the microstructure and the magnetic properties of Mn-Zn ferrites were studied. The maximum density was observed at 0.1 wt% $V_2O_5$ content and it was recognized that a small content of $V_2O_5$ prohibited the discontinuous grain growth. The initial permeability showed maximum at 0.1 wt% $V_2O_5$ content and the power loss minimum at 0.03 wt% $V_2O_5$ content. It was found that a small content of $V_2O_5$ went into solid solution in the Mn-Zn ferrites, but above that extent $V_2O_5$ formed a second phase to be segregated at the grain boundaries.
