The phase field model is becoming the model of choice for the theoretical study of the morphologies of crystals growth from the melt. This model provides an alternative approach to the solution of the classical (sharp interface) model of solidification by introducing a new variable, the phase field, Ø, to identify the phase. The variable Ø takes on constant values in the bulk phases and makes a continuous transition between these values over a thin transition layer that plays the role of the classically sharp interface. This results in Ø being governed by a new partial differential equation(in addition to the PDE's that govern the classical fields, such as temperature and composition) that guarantees (in the asymptotic limit of a suitably thin transition layer) that the appropriate boundary conditions at the crystal-melt interface are satisfied. Thus, one can proceed to solve coupled PDE's without the necessity of explicitly tracking the interface (free boundary) that would be necessary to solve the classical (sharp interface) model. Recent advances in supercomputing and algorithms now enable generation of interesting and valuable results that display most of the fundamental solidification phenomena and processes that are observed experimentally. These include morphological instability, solute trapping, cellular growth, dendritic growth (with anisotropic sidebranching, tip splitting, and coupling to periodic forcing), coarsening, recalescence, eutectic growth, faceting, and texture development. This talk will focus on the fundamental basis of the phase field model in terms of irreversible thermodynamics as well as it computational limitations and prognosis for future improvement.

Textured bulk $YBa_2Cu_3O_x$ superconductors samples were grown directionally using different precursors of $YBa_2Cu_3O_x$ power. and a mixture of $YBa_2Cu_3O_5, BaCuO_2 and CuO$ powder. The microstructures and superconducting properties of the samples were compared. The mixture powder produced better microstructures i.e. dense and crack-free so that a higher critical current density was achieved at the same hot-zone temperature of 115$0^{\circ}C$ than the reacted powder does. When the reacted powder used as a precursor, as the hot-zone temperature increased upto 1215$^{\circ}C$, the texture of the sample improved and the critical current density increased. The amount of melt in the sample is of secondary importance for the growth of superconducting $YBa_2Cu_3O_x$ grains. The microstructures and superconductivity of good quality superconductors grown directionally were more strongly influenced by the kind of precursor rather than the amount og melt in a sample.

Two laboratory-melt heats of 3.25 silicon-iron were made and processed according to a normal commercial practice. Some of the important processing variables that were studied in relation to secondary recrystallization and texture development were contents of manganese and sulfur, heat-treatments after hot-rolling that were used to achieve different hot-rolled microstructures, and amounts of second cold-reduction. The main effort of the present study was directed toward elucidating the relationships among the amount of second cold-reduction, activation energies associated with secondary recrystallization and texture development. The specimens that had been cold-reduced 10% exhibited only grain growth by strain-induced grain boundary migration and did not exhibit secondary recrystallization. Secondary recrystallization did rot appear to completely occur in the 30% cold-reduced specimens, although the nucleation for secondary recrystallization was observed. The second cold-reduction in an amount of 50% was shown to be the optimun for secondary recrystallization and texture development by subsequent processing.

Recent developments in nanocrystalline and nanocomposite rare earth-transition metal magnets are reviewed and emphasis is placed on research work at IFW Dresden. Principal synthesis methods include high energy ball milling, melt spinning, mold casting and hydrogen assisted methods such as reactive milling and hydrogenation-disproportionation-desorption-recombination. These techniques are applied to NdFeB-, PrFeB- and SmCo-type systems with the aim to produce high remanence magnets with high coercivity. Concepts of maximizing the energy density in nanostructured magnets by either inducing a texture via anisotropic HDDR or hot deformation or enhancing the remanence via magnetic exchange coupling are evaluated. With respect to high temperature applications melt spun $Sm(Co_{0.74}Fe_{0.1}Cu_{0.12}Zr_{0.04})_{7.5}$ ribbons were prepared, which showed coercivities of up to 0.53 T at 50$0^{\circ}C$. Partially amorphous $Nd_{60}Fe_xCo_{30-x}Al_{10}(0{\leq}x{\leq}30)$ alloys were prepared by copper mold casting. The effect of transition metal content on the glass-forming ability and the magnetic properties was investigated. The $Nd_{60}Co_{30}Al_{10}$ alloy exhibits an amorphous structure shown by the corresponding diffraction pattern. A small substitution of Co by 2.5 at.% Fe results In the formation of Fe-rich crystallites embedded in the Nd-rich amorphous matrix. The Fe-rich crystallites show hard magnetic behaviour at room temperature with a coercivity value of about 0.4 T, relatively low saturation magnetization and a Curie temperature of 500 K.

Syntheses and liquid-Crystallinites of thermotropic copoly (ester amide)s were investigated. The three components melt polycondensation of 4,4'-dicarboxy-$\alpha$, $\omega$-diphenoxyalkane as an A component, 4-4'diacetoxybiphenyl as a B, and p-N-acetoxy-aminobenzoic acid as a C gave the thrmotropic copoly(ester amide)s containing a flexible splacer in the polymer backbone. Diacetylated hydroquinone, methyl hydroquinone, chlorohydroquinone, and phenyl hydroquinone were used as anther B components. A polymer(6BPAB) having 10 mol% of C component and hexamethylene space. showed a typical nematic texture between $245^{\circ}C(T_m)\; and\; more\; than\; 360^{\circ]C(T_i)$. The melting points of the members of this series of polymers increased with decreasing methylene spacer. The polymer structure and mesomorphic nature were examined by solid and solution ^{13}C-NMR4 spectroscopy, cross polarizing microscopy with a hot stage, and X-ray diffactometry.

This study analyzed the physicochemical properties and rheology of frozen condensed skim milk during thawing at 5 room temperature (20℃). The viscosity of the condensed milk was 80 cps (21.5℃) immediately after manufacture, and this value was decreased to 0 cps (21. 5℃) during storage at day 7. The particle sizes of the condensed skim milk were 0.128 mm just after manufacture, and 0.522 and 0.818 mm at days 3 and 5 of thawing at 20℃, respectively. Condensed skim milk with no temperature abuse had lower acidity than those stored at room temperature on the 3rd and 7th days. Additionally, a sandy texture was observed as the thawing period increased. Based on the comprehensive results of this study, when frozen condensed skim milk is added to a product as a raw material, the longer the thawing period at room temperature, the longer the ice crystals inside melt and become water drips. Quality defects, such as weight loss, decreased pH, protein denaturation, and texture deterioration, are expected to occur.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the quality characteristics of choco-chip when using the baking soda. Medium flours are more commonly used for choco-chip cookies than cake flours due to the higher pH levels. The L and b values of the flours decreased but the redness colors were increased with the increased percentage of baking sodas. The hardness, brittleness and gumminess of cake flours and increased baking sodas were lower than the medium flours. Micrographs of the choco-chip cookies showed that the baking sodas with the medium flours had better tendency to melt the proteins than cake flours. Sensory characteristics suggested that the additional 2% of baking soda generated good appearance, flavor, color, texture and over all acceptance. According to the results, we gained knowledge on the effects of adding baking soda to the quality of cookies. And, the most recommended percentages of baking sodas base as suggested by bakers are 2%.
