A steady-state kinetic study on a dye-coupled cytoplasmic polyol dehydrogenase from G. melanogenus was carried by the initial velocity measurements in the direction of the polyol oxidation and the product inhibition by D-fructose. For the initial rate experiments, D-mannitol and D-sorbitol were employed as the specific polyol substrates and 2,6-dichlorophenolin-dophenol (DPIP) as the specific cofactor substrate for the enzyme. When the polyol and DPIP were examined by varying one of substrates and by fixing the second, the corresponding reciprocal plots showed the typical parallel pattern. This suggests that the enzyme from G. melanogenus proceeds by a Ping Pong Bi-Bi mechanism in which the polyol may account as the first reactant-in, and the ketose formed as the first product-out, respectively. The product inhibition patterns obtained by D-fructose (one no-inhibition, one non-competitive, and two competitive) may also provide an additional conformatory evidence for the above mechanism. Based on the kinetic parameters obtained, it was also suggested that the rate-limiting step in the direction of polyol oxidation is associated with the release of the ketose from the Enzyme${\cdot}$Polyol complex.

This study introduces the design of a bi-directional damper using a tuned mass damper(TMD) and a tuned liquid column damper(TLCD) and presents experimental verifications to confirm its control performance. The damper used in this study behaves as a TMD in a specific translational direction and acts as a TLCD in the other orthogonal direction. First, shaking table test is performed to investigate the coupled effect of control forces produced by TMD and TLCD. Then, the parameters that affect to dynamic characteristics of the proposed damper are quantitatively evaluated based on the experimental results. Testing results shows that the damper used in this study produces control forces coupled by TLCD and TMD, as it is excited by waves with an incident angle. Also, it is observed that the damper can be used to reduce bi-directional responses of building structures.

To propose a basic material that can improve the crumples in the knee area and can be applied as an element of garment design, the present study examined the elongation rates of the samples by differentiating the number of cutting lines according to the direction of the fabric, and then determined the puckering phenomenon by judging the conditions of the seams based on the looks of seam lines after bi-axil elongation. After the subjective evaluation on the knee areas of both the standard and modified trousers, the following conclusion was drawn : The elongation rates of the samples are: warp (3.98%)cross-legged (-0.2)>squatting down (-0.4); those in the modified trousers feel more comfortable when sitting on a chair (0.2)>cross-legged (0)>squatting down (-0.6). In the cross-legged posture, the modified trousers (0) has higher scores in the subjective evaluation than the standard ones (-0.2). The evaluation on the looks of needleworks in the samples with cutting lines along the direction of the fabric: weft2 (5.0)

The $Bi_2Sr_2Ca_{n-1}Cu_nOy$(BSCCO) phase is well known to be a superconductor having a strong anisotropic behavior. It can be seen that it is difficult to control the growth direction. In this study, we try to grow a Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O phase crystal by the crystal pulling method with a seed crystal and crucibel rotation. Relatively large crystals of the order of $5{\times}5{\times}5{\textrm}{mm}^3$ dimensions can be obtained. We also discuss the possible crystallization field of the $BiO_{1.5}$-(Sr, Ca)O-CuO ternary phase diagram, and present some results of the characterization and magnetic measurements on the grown crystal.

In this paper, AC losses of long wire Bi-2223 tapes with different twist pitch of superconducting core were fabricated, measured and analyzed. These samples produced by a powder-in-tube method are multi-filamentary tape with Ag matrix. Also, it's produced by non-twist. The critical current measurement was carried out under the environment in Liquid nitrogen and in zero field by 4-prob method. And the Magnetic measurement was carried out under the environment of applied time-varying transport current by transport method. From experiment, the susceptibility measurements were conducted while cooling in a magnetic field. Flux loss measurements were conducted as a function of ramping rate, frequency and field direction. The AC flux loss increases as the twist-pitch of the tapes decreased, in agreement with the Norris Equation. Neutron-diffraction measurements have been carried out investigate the crystal structure, magnetic structures, and magnetic phase transitions in Bi-2223([Bi, Pb]:Sr:Ca:Cu:O).

The Electromagnetic properties in BiPbSrCaCuO superconductor was studied. In the measurement of current-voltage characteristics, a voltage across the superconducting sample was observed on applying an external magnetic field. The voltage continues to appear the removal of the magnetic field. The appearance of the voltage is ascribed to the trapping of magnetic flux. Depanding on the direction of applied magnetic flux less than 2.5${\times}$10-5 T, the voltage in the magnetized sample increases or decreases. It is considered that mechanism of voltage occurrence can be explained by applying filament model.

For practical applications, the evaluation of reliability or endurance of HTS conductors is necessary. The mechanical properties and the critical current, Ie, of multifilamentary Bi-2223 superconducting tapes, externally reinforced with stainless steel foils, subjected to high cycle fatigue loading in the longitudinal direction were investigated at 77K. The S-N curves were obtained and its transport property was evaluated with the increase of repeated cycles at different stress amplitudes. The effect of the stress ratio, R, on the Ie degradation behavior under fatigue loading was also examined considering the practical application situation of HTS tapes. Microstructure observation was conducted in order to understand the Ie degradation mechanism in fatigued Bi-2223 tapes.

The conventional ultrasonic linear motors developed so far utilize a standing wave and are of a pi-type or a hybrid transducer type structure. Traveling wave type bi-direction linear motors have not been developed yet. This paper describes design of a new bi-directional ultrasonic linear motor working by means of a traveling wave. With the finite element method we design and verify validity of the new structure. And we determine its optimal structure size of design variables material and boundary conditions for proper generation of the traveling wave.

Alternating current (AC) losses of two Bi-2223 ([Bi, Pb] : Sr : Ca : Cu :O = 2:2:2:3) tapes [one untwisted (Tape I, twist-pitch of $\infty$ mm) and the other with a twist-pitch of 8mm (Tape II) ] were measured and compared. These samples, produced by the powder-in-tube (PIT) method, are multi-filamentary and have a Ag/Au and Ag matrix, respectively. Susceptibility measurements were conducted while cooling in a magnetic field. Flux loss measurements were conducted as a function of ramping rate, frequency and field direction. The AC flux loss increases as the twist-pitch of the tapes decreased, in agreement with the Norris Equation.

High-temperature superconductor of Bi-2212 system was fabricated by CFP(centrifugal forming process). To make a uniform specimen slurry was prepared in the ratio of 7:3(powder:binder) and ball milled for 24 hours. Milled slurry was charged into a rotating mold with 450 rpm and dried at room temperature. Then the specimen was performed binder burn-out at 35$0^{\circ}C$ and heated for partial melting to 86$0^{\circ}C$. XRD analysis of most specimens were shown 2212 phase and observed a local plate shaped microstructure with a well aligned c-axis direction from SEM images. T$_{c}$(Critical temperature) of Bi-2212 was 64K.K.
