The optimum conditons were experimentally established for the powder synthesis and sintering of the feed-rods for $LiNbO_3$ crystal growth by a floating zone method. At the lower synthesis temperatures(700, $ 800^{\circ}C$) the minor amounts of $Li_2CO_3$ and $Nb_2O_5$ were present in the synthesized $LiNbO_3$ powder and at the higher temperature the particle size increased which is not favorable for the sintering process for the feed-rods. $LiNbO_3$ powder synthesized at $950^{\circ}C$ for 12 hours was found to be the best because it contains only the$LiNbO_3$ phase with the small particle size and uniform particle size distribution. As the sintering temperature and the soaking time increase, the sintered feed-rods exhibited the higher sintered density and grain growth phenomena. The $LiNbO_3$ feed rods sintering at $1100^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours were found to have the best microstructure for the precursor feed-rods of the floating zone crystal growth because of their higher density, small grain size and uniform particle size distribution. As the sintering temperature and the soaking time increase, the sintered feed-rods exhibited the higher sintered density and grain growth phenomena. The $LiNbO_3$ feed rods sintering at $1100^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours were found to have the best microstructure for the precursor feed-rods of the floating zone crystal growth because of their density, small grain size and uniform grain size distribution.

In this study, we observed the surface morphology of amorphous silicon annealed at $700{\sim}1000^{\circ}C$ for recrystallization. In case of $700{\sim}800^{\circ}C$ annealing, deposited amorphous silicon have the saturated XRD intensity and decreased surface roughness after annealing for 3 hours. It is thought that surface roughness of amorphous silicon increases because of contributions caused by atomic rearrangement of surface, for instance, surface stress etc., in the course of recrystallinzation and decrease because of the relaxation of stress by annealing in reaching completion of recrystallization. In case of $1000^{\circ}C$ annealing, the effect of grain size on deposited silicon is more effective than that of surface roughness. These results show that small grain silicon has the stronger dependence on surface roughness than large grain one.

Effects of microstructure of two Mg-ferrite specimens with the same starting composition and relative density but with different grain size on B-H hysteresis loop, natural resonance frequency, and ferromagnetic resonance line width are reported. Such properties as B-H hysteresis loop, saturation magnetization, natural resonance frequency, and ferromagnetic resonance line width were influenced by the microstructure development during sintering. Large grain size specimen showed high saturation magnetization, low coercive force, low natural resonance frequency, and low ferromagnetic resonance line width compared with the specimen of small grain size. The main reason for the changes in properties can be explained by the variation in anisotropic characteristics due to Fe+2 content generated during sintering process.

An automatic echelon feeder of brown rice was presented for quality inspection system using color image processing. A echelon feeder was developed with vibratory feeder and cylindrical indent singulator having oblique light. The vibratory feeder consisted of a hopper, electromagnetic vibrator and multichannel grooves and supply the grain sample to the singulator. The feeding performance such as feed rate, blocking frequency of the channel was dependent on the size of groove and vibration pattern. A cylindrical indent singulator consisted of a rotating cylinder, prisms and a tungsten-halogen light source. It delivered grain kernels under the camera in a echelon form and illuminate the kernels with oblique ray and ambient light. The size of the indents installed on the surface of the rotating cylinder was determined by the dimensions of the paddy and a small triangular prism was placed in each indent to apply $ 20^{\circ}$ oblique light to the grain kernel.

It was observed that the single grain of crystallite growth behavior in AlN (Aluminum Nitride) single crystal growth by PVT (Physical Vapor Transport) method. The single grain of AlN was grown in sequent experiments and adjacent crystallites were joined together after small grain was grown. The sequential results of those grains observed by stereoscopic microscope were reported.

As a new approach to analyze grinding energy, this paper introduces a specific grinding energy model based on the average grain. Using this model, grinding characteristics such as radial and tangential forces, specific grinding energy of SM45C were investigated altering grinding variables such as workpiece velocity(v) and apparent depth of cut(Z) in down-surface grinding. From the experimental results, there is no significant difference between the radial, tangential forces and vertical. horizontal forces because of small contact angle between wheel and workpiece. The specific grinding energy decreases as the maximum undeformed chip thickness increases. But, there is much difference between the specific grinding energies of the existing and the proposed model.

Several heat treatment were applied to on HSLA steel of type StE47 (German standard) to produce five ferrite microstructures of different strength and at least two different grain sizes respectively. Whereas the ferrite microstructure had a strong influence on yield strength the effect of grain size was negligible. The different strength levels could be explained by regarding the arrangement of dislocations and vanadium carbide particles, and their mutual interaction. Specimens tranformed at $600^{\circ}C$ showed the highest strength levels. In this case precipitation has occured after the $\gamma$- $\alpha$ transformation. Very small VC particles are arranged mostly along dislocation lines. Increasing both, grain size and pearlite volume fraction leads to a remarkable shift of transition temperature which was further enhanced by increasing ferrite strength.

Calcium-hexaluminate phase $(CA_6)$ is known to be effective for the crack shielding due to the spinel block crystal structure. In this study, we focused to the control of $CA_6$ morphology for good damage tolerance behavior in alumina and zirconia/calcium-hexaluminate $(CA_6)$ composites. Calcium-hexaluminate $(CA_6)$ composites were prepared from zirconia, alumina and calcium carbornate powders. Calcium-hexaluminate $(CA_6)$ phase was obtained by the solid reaction through the formation of intermediate phase $(CA_2)$. $CA_6$ phase showed the column type abnormal grain grown behavior composed of small blocks. Due to the typical microstructure of $CA_6$, alumina and zirconia/calcium-hexaluminate composites provide a well controlled crack propagation behavior.

Bacterial grain rot of rice caused by Burkholderia glumae was examined between weather condition and disease incidence. From 1998 to 2000, average disease incidence was 3.0 ％ without difference in survey regions. However, it was related closely to amount of rainfall that disease incidence higher in 1998 and 2000 to 3.0 ％ and 3.6 ％ respectively than 2.3 in 1999 relatively small volum of rainfall season.

A series of ZnO thin films were grown by radio-frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering with various RF powers on $SiO_2/Si$(100) substrates at $500^{\circ}C$. Thicknesses of the investigated ZnO films were fixed to about 250nm by changing the growth time based on the changes of growth rates with RF powers. All the ZnO thin films were grown with <0001> preferred orientation. Average grain sizes of about 250nm-thick ZnO films evaluated by FE-SEM, AFM, and TEM were increased by decreasing the RF power. Structural properties addressed by FWHM values of XRD (0002) omega rocking curves and their intensities were better for the smaller grain sized ZnO films grown with high RF powers, which implies small values of tilt for smaller grain sized ZnO films. However, optical properties addressed by intensities of band edge emissions from room temperature and low temperature photoluminescence were better for the larger grain sized ZnO films with low RF power, which implies grain boundaries acted as nonradiation recombination centers.
