Apple, one of the most important fruit crops world-widely, is required for rapid, cost-effective and sensitive virus detection for its better productivity. RT-PCR is extensively employed for apple virus diagnosis, but the technique requires complete tissue homogenization which is time consuming and laborious. In this study, heating-based RNA extraction method was developed and proven to effectively work for stem tissues slightly better than for leaf tissues. In RT-PCR, almost identical results were generated from the use of RNA extracts from both tissues.

From a rapid cooling to a slow cooling in the actual cooling process in shipyards, the phase of steel becomes martensite, bainite, ferrite, and pearlite. In order to simulate the cooling process, heat transfer analysis was performed considering the effects of impinging water jet, film boiling, and radiation. From above simulation it is possible to find the cooling speed at the inherent strain region and volume percentage of all phases in that region. By the suggested method based on the precise material properties calculated from volume percentage of all phases, it will be possible to predict the plate deformations by line heating more precisely. It is verified by comparing with some experimental results that the present method is very effective and efficient.

Microwaves belong to the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum with frequencies between 300MHz and 300GHz.$\^$1)/ In microwave processing, the energy is delivered directly to materials through molecular interaction with the electromagnetic field. This result in rapid heating throughout the material thickness with the reduced thermal gradients. If microwave is applied to fibrous materials, it can be reduced processing time. (omitted)

The sintering and renitridation behaviors of ultrafine Si3N4 powder compacts, which were heavily oxidized and/or free-Si rich, were investigated with particular attentiion to microstructures. The specimens were heated without restoring to additives and pressure by controlling heating process attained a Xe image apparatus. The effect of particle size, free-Si contents, decomposition and renitridation, were investigated. When fired to 1$650^{\circ}C$ within 15 sec and then immediately held at 135$0^{\circ}C$ for 10min N2 atmosphere, significant densification took place in the limited region, in addition to decreasing oxygen contents to less than 0.3wt%. On the other hand, specimens decomposed due to overheating at the initial stage were rapidly renitridated at the relatively lower temperature of the holding stage. And, then, the activation energy for the renitridation was calculated to be 49kcal/mole.

The effects of post annealing temperature by the Rapid Thermal Annealing(RTA) on the electrical properties of Pb(Zr,Ti)O$_3$(PZT) thin film were investigated. Analyses by the RTA treatments reveled that the leakage current of PZT thin films strongly depend on heating temperature and time. It was found that leakage current properties of PZT capacitor were changed by heating temperature during the RTA annealing. On Pt/Ti/Si substrates, PZT films are deposited at 350 $^{\circ}C$ by rf magnetron sputtering. The X-ray diffusion (XRD) was confirmed the formation of PZT thin film. Leakage current characteristics were improved with decreasing the post annealing temperature of PZT thin film. RTA annealed film on the 700$^{\circ}C$ shows ferroelectric and electrical properties with a remanent polarization of 12.4${\mu}$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$ coercive field of 117kV/cm, leakage current J= 6.2${\times}$10$\^$-6/ A/$\textrm{cm}^2$

Recently, electric heating using midnight power has brought a rapid increase. Therefore, the increase of midnight power use has much influenced on midnight load pattern and share more than 20% of total midnight electricity consumption. Hence, the distortion of load by using midnight power apparatus is severe and made the usage pattern ineffective electricity usage pattern. This paper analyze the load pattern of midnight power apparatus and policies that can effectively build midnight load. In addition, it provides policies on shifting midnight power apparatus load.

Rapid development of electronic technology requires small size, high density packaging and high power of electronic devices. So, in this paper, characteristics on oscillating heat pipe according to operating conditions(environment temperature, charging ratio of working fluid, inclination) based on experimental study was investigated. From the experimental results, $25^{\circ}C$environment temperature), R-141b(working fluid)40%(charging ratio) was best performace at others of inclination angle and The top heating mode of OCHP performed 80% efficiency of the bottom heating mode.

The thermophilic aerobic digestion (TAD) process is recognized as an effective method for rapid waste activated sludge (WAS) degradation and the deactivation of pathogenic microorganisms. Yet, high energy costs due to heating and aeration have limited the commercialization of economical TAD processes. Previous research on autothermal thermophilic aerobic digestion (ATAD) has already reduced the heating cost. However, only a few studies have focused on reducing the aeration cost. Therefore, this study applied a two-step aeration control strategy to a fill-and-draw mode semicontinuous TAD process. The NADH-dependent fluorescence was monitored throughout the TAD experiment, and the aeration rate shifted according to the fluorescence intensity. As a result, the simple two-step aeration control operation achieved a 20.3% reduction in the total aeration, while maintaining an effective and stable operation. It is also expected that more savings can be achieved with a further reduction of the lower aeration rate or multisegmentation of the aeration rate.

Dense $ Pb(Zr, Ti)O_3(PZT)/Al_2O_3$ nanocomposites were prepared by the 28 GHz microwave heating method and conventional electric furnace sintering. Electrical and mechanical properties of the composites were investigated. The fracture strength of the PZT composites with 0.1vol% $Al_2O_3$ was significantly improved in both sintering methods. Smaller grain size and effective reinforcement of the PZT matrix by the second phase were considered to be responsible for the excellent fracture strength. Planar electromechanical coupling factor Kp of the composites sintered by 28GHz microwave heating was higher than that of the materical prepared by the conventional route. It seemed that the control of the reaction between PZT and $Al_2O_3$ by the microwave rapid sintering resulted in the high piezoelectric properties.

Sutiability of Jungsan clay shale dolomite sludge Anyang feldspar and alumina as raw materials for light-weight porous ceramics was examined. In order to find optimum manufacturing conditions compositions heating temperatuers and heating times were varied and their effects on physical properties were measured and bloating mechanism was investigated. Jungsan clay seems suitable as raw material to make the light-weight constructional materials with 5wt% of ANyang feldspar and alumina added in calcined clay (800$^{\circ}C$) having bulk density of 0.45g/cm3 water absorption of 1.34% and compressive strength of 85kg/cm2 rapid-heated at 1200$^{\circ}C$ for 30min. It is suggested that bloating mechanism depends on the difference of tem-peratures between the inside and outside in specimen the remained gases in interstices can bloat by the li-quid phase of surface with high viscosity and gas pressure at elevated temperature.
