Effects of various inorganic-metal oxide (Zr, Zn, Si, Al and Ca as promoters and stabilizers) additive on the reduction rate of iron oxide and the composition of forming hydrogen using the steam-iron cycle operation was investigated. The reduction rate of redox agent with additive was determined from weight change by TGA. The changes of weight loss and reduction rate according to redox agent with various additive affected the hydrogen purity and cycle stability of the process. The cyclic micro reactor showed that hydrogen purity exceeding 95% could be obtained by the water splitting with Si/Fe, Zn/Fe, Zr/Fe redox agents. The redox agents with these elements had an affect on redox cycle stability as a good stabilizer for forming hydrogen by the steam-iron process.

1) The specimen with 0.175[mol%] of additive $Sb_2O_3$ was minute and didn't appear porosity. The relation between the ratio of resistivity at $160^{\circ}C$ to that at $121^{\circ}C$ of the specimen with 0.175[mol%] of additive $Sb_2O_3$ was $3{\times}10^4$ and it's great value from among specimens. 2) The curie temperature of the specimen with 0.2 [mol%] of additive $Sb_2O_3$ was $140^{\circ}C$ AND it's great value from among specimens and those of other were $121^{\circ}C$ in all therefore, the specimen with above 0.2[mol%] of additive $Sb_2O_3$ is not match for PTCR 3) The variation of radiation properties of the specimen with 0.2[mol%] of additive $Sb_2O_3$ was very steep in the range of far-infrared $5{\sim}10[{\mu}m]$ but radiation percentage was very high of 0.92 in the range of $10[{\mu}m]$.

Additive and dominance genetic variances were estimated for purebred Landrace selected with line breeding from 1989 to 1995 at Miyazaki Livestock Experiment Station, Kawaminami Branch. Ten body measurements, two reproductive traits and fifteen carcass traits were analyzed with single-trait mixed model analysis. The estimates of narrow-sense heritabilities by additive model were in the range of 0.07 to 0.46 for body measurements, 0.05 to 0.14 for reproductive traits, and 0.05 to 0.68 for carcass traits. The additive model tended to slightly overestimate the narrow-sense heritabilities as compared to the additive and dominance model. The proportion of the dominance variance to total genetic variance ranged from 0.11 to 0.91 for body measurements, 0.00 to 0.65 for reproductive traits, and 0.00 to 0.86 for carcass traits. Large differences among traits were found in the ratio of dominance to total genetic variance. These results suggested that dominance effect would affect the expression of all ten body measurements, one reproductive trait, and nine carcass traits. It is justified to consider the dominance effects in genetic evaluation of the selected lines for those traits.

Zinc oxide-based MOV was fabricated with $SiO_2$ additive ranging from 0.5 to 4.0 mol%, and the microstructure and electrical characteristics were investigated. $Zn_2SiO_4$ phase formed by $SiO_2$ additive was distributed at ZnO grains, grain boundaries, and multiple grain junctions. As the content of $SiO_2$ additive increases, average grain size decreased from 40.6 to $26.9{\mu}m$ due to the Pinning effect by $Zn_2SiO_4$ at grain boundaries Breakdown voltage and nonlinear exponent increased, and leakage current decreased in the range of $11.2{\sim}6.14{\mu}A$ with an increasing $SiO_2$. Donor concentration and interface state density decreased, and barrier height increased in the range of $0.71{\sim}1.04eV$ with an increasing $SiO_2$. While, as the content of $SiO_2$ additive, apparent dielectric constant decreased, peak frequency of dissipation factor decreased in the range of $6.45{\times}10^5{\sim}3.00{\times}10^5Hz$, and dissipation peak was $0.31{\sim}0.22$ at Peak frequency.

We successively fabricated the Ni metal mask by additive method and evaluated the effects of wetting agents addition on the microstructure, hardness, and friction coefficient. In the process, the additive patterns with fine hole and pitch were made by photolithography technique and subsequently Ni plate was electroformed on the patterns. We found that the microstructure and mechanical properties were significantly varied when the different combinations of the wetting agents were used. When the wetting agents of both SF-1 and SF-2 were added, the microstructure consisted of crystal and amorphous phases, the grain size reduced to 5-40 nm, the RMS value decreased to 11.4 nm and the wear resistance improved. In addition, the hardness was as high as 638 Hv which is higher than that of commercial stainless steel mask and this improvement is probably due to the presence of amorphous Phase and fine grain size. The improvement of the wear resistance can provide a higher reliability and a longer service life.

This experiment was conducted to study the nature of gene effects for the leaf characters in flue-cured tobacco. The genetic populations were derived from crosses between NC 2326 and Mc Nair 373, and NC 628 and DG-72. The generation means experiment Included the Pl, P2. Fl, F2, Bl and B2, which were frown at Taegu Experiment Station, Korea Ginseng & Tobacco Research Institute in 1984. Seedlings were transplanted to the field in a randomized block design with 3 replications. In each block, parental and Fl Plots contained 15 plants in a single row, F2, Bl and B2 plots being composed of 75 plant, in 5 rows. Leaf characters were measured of largest (middle leaf) and 5th leaf(top leaf) from the top after topping. Measurements of the length and width of leaf were obtained from the fresh the middle and top leaves, and weight of leaf, weight and width of midrib were from the satrap leaf after curing. Estimates of additive and dominance genetic variance were analyzed according to Gamble's biometrical model. The results obtained are as follows: 1. The additive gene effects were significant and larger than the dominance gene effects for all leaf and midrib characters in both stalk positions. 2. The dominance gene effects were significant for the length and width of leaf, and weight of midrib in the middle leaves. 3. The digenic epistatic effects were significant for the length and width of leaf in both stalk positions. 4. The additive gene effects were larger in the top than in the middle leaves and midrib characters.

The effects of additives on the surface morphology and physical properties of copper electrodeposited on polyimide(PI) film were investigated here. Two kinds of additives, an activator(additive A) and a leveler(additive B),were used in this study. Electrochemical experiments, in conjunction with scanning electron microscopy(SEM), X-ray diffraction(XRD) and a four-point probe, were performed to characterize the morphology and mechanical characteristics of copper electrodeposited in the presence of the additives. The surface roughness, crystal growth orientation and resistivity could be controlled using various quantities of additive B. High resistivity and lower peel strength were observed on the surface of the copper layer electroplated onto the electrolyte with no additive B. However, a uniform surface, lower resistivity and high flexibility were obtained with a combination of 20 ppm of additive A and 100 ppm of additive B.

The benefits of using DLC coatings on steel in dry sliding are well known. The present study has investigated the effects of using the same materials but in a boundary lubricated environment. Tribological tests were performed using a load-scanning device and a lubricant with an extreme-pressure (EP) additive. XPS and grazing incidence XRD are used for chemical analysis. The chemical composition of the resulting tribofilm is correlated to different friction behaviors and contact loads, and indicates that high loads are beneficial for formation of low friction tribofilm.

In this study, we investigate the effects of the weight function in the bounded influence regression quantile (BIRQ) estimator for the AR(1) model with additive outliers. In order to down-weight the outliers of X-axis, the Mallows' (1973) weight function has been commonly used in the BIRQ estimator. However, in our Monte Carlo study, the BIRQ estimator using the Tukey's bisquare weight function shows less MSE and bias than that of using the Mallows' weight function or Huber's weight function.
