Ni-20Cr-20Fe-5Nb alloy with or without $Y_2O_3$ was manufactured by mechanical alloying process and consolidated by spark plasma sintering (SPS). The grain size of the alloy with $Y_2O_3$ was smaller than that of alloy without $Y_2O_3$ which results from the effect of $Y_2O_3$ suppressing grain growth. The tensile strength at room temperature was increased by the addition of $Y_2O_3$ but decreased abruptly at temperature above $600^{\circ}C$. It seems to result from the change of deformation mechanism due to fine grain size, that is, grain boundary sliding is predominant at above $600^{\circ}C$ while internal dislocation movement is predominant at below $600^{\circ}C$. After conventional heat treatment process of solution treatment and aging, a small amount of ${\delta}(Ni_3Nb)$ phase was formed in Ni-20Cr-20Fe-5Nb alloy while a large amount of ${\gamma}"(Ni_3Nb)$ was formed in Inconel 718 in the previous report. This is due to exhaustion of Nb content by the formation of NbC during consolidation.

This study surveyed intensively the relationships between grain size of coarse bed materials and some principal factors in channel system, drainage area and channel slope, in Rocky Mountains. The result of this research shows that there are statistically significant relationships between these factors. Generally, the grain size and the channel slope exponentially decreased in the study area with the increase in drainage area. However, there are great differences in grain size and channel slope between upstream and downstream channels. The boundary lines are commonly located at near the mouth of canyon. From these results, it can be concluded that the bed material characteristics and the channel slope are strongly influenced by the geological and geomorphological background of the drainage basin in this study area.

The ZnO is stabilize dielectric constant over a broad temperature range because its addition makes the relaxation time short. In this study, the composite oxide material (B $a_{0.85}$ $Ca_{0.15}$)Ti $O_{3}$ was mixed by ZnO additive material and the dielectric polarization characteristics was studied. The relative density was over 90[%] at all specimen in the structural characteristics. Among of the specimen, the relative density of (B $a_{0.85}$ $Ca_{0.15}$)Ti $O_{3}$ with ZnO (0.4mol) has a 95[%]. The grain size of composite oxide material with an increasing ZnO increased and it was 1.0[.mu.m]-1.22[.mu.m]. In the electrical characteristics, the charge and discharge current was increased by ZnO addition. The dielectric relaxation time was increased by space charge polarization at above 110[.deg. C] and the dielectric relaxation time was fixed by space charge polarization of para-dielectric layer at below 110[.deg. C]. The dielectric relaxation time was maximum when the grain size was small. The dielectric relaxation time is decreased with an additive material ZnO and interface polarization, existing void at the grain and grain boundary. The remnant polarization is increased and the coercive electric field is decreased by ZnO.

Sn-3.5Ag-xBi alloys with five different levels of Bi (0, 2.5, 4.8, 7.5, 10 wt%) were prepared for evaluating creep properties. Cast alloys were roiled and heat treated to provide stable microstructures during the subsequent creep tests, which were conducted under constant load using dog-bone specimens. For the Bi containing alloys, creep strength showed the maximum around 2.5 wt%Bi and tended to decrease with increasing Bi content. The stress exponent of the alloy was around 4, suggesting typical dislocation creep, but the exponent was 2 for the 10 wt%Bi alloy, suggesting creep assisted by grain boundary Sliding. For the Bi containing alloys, the brittle fracture mode appeared showing small amount of reduction of area, while the ductile fracture mode was true for the Bi free alloy. Microstructural examination of ruptured specimens showed cavitations on grain boundaries normal to the load axis, and a significant of grain boundary sliding for the Bi containing alloys.

The 0.96Mg$TiO_3$-0.04Sr$TiO_3$ ceramics with $V_2O_5$(5wt%) were prepared by the conventional mixed oxide method. The structural properties were investigated with sintering temperature by XRD and SEM. According to the X-ray diffraction patterns of the 0.96Mg$TiO_3$-0.04Sr$TiO_3$ceramics with $V_2O_5$(5wt%), the ilmenite $MgTiO_3$ and perovskite $SrTiO_3$ structures were coexisted and secondary phase $MgTi_2O_5$ were appeared. Increasing the sintering temperature, the grain size was increased and three types of grains were exhibited: larger circular grain, small square grain and lapth-shaped grain. In the case of 0.96Mg$TiO_3$-0.04Sr$TiO_3$ ceramics with $V_2O_5$(10wt%), dielectric constant, quality factor and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency were $15.24{\sim}18.55$, $22,890{\sim}42,100$GHz, -24.5${\sim}$+2.414ppm/$^{\circ}C$, respectively.

An attempt was made to measure the availability of waste heat, released from the cooling system of a small engine, which can be utilized for grain drying. An engine powered flat-bed rough rice dryer was constructed and the performance of the dryer with available engine-waste heat was analyzed for 10 , 20, 30 and 40 cm rough rice bulk depths with a constant dryer base area of 0.81$m^2$/min. The waste heat was sufficient to increase the drying air temperature 7 to 12$^{\circ}C$ at an air flow rate of 8.8 to 5.7㎥/min, while the average ambient temperature and relative humidity were 24$^{\circ}C$ and 70%. The minimum energy requirement was 3.26 MJ/kg of water removed in drying a 40 cm deep grain bed in 14h. A forty to fifty centimeter deep grained seems to be optimum in order to avoid over-drying in the top layers. On the basis of minimum energy requirement (3.26 MJ/kg ) , an estimation was made that the waste heat harvest from an engine of a power range of 1 to 10.5PS can dry about 0.1 to 1 metric on of rough rice from 23% to 15% m.c. (w.b) in 12 h at an average ambient temperature and relative humidity of $25^{\circ}C$ and 80%, respectively. The engine-waste heated grain dryer can be used in the rural areas of non industrialized countries where electricity is not available.

Harmonic structure materials are materials with a core-shell structure having a shell with a small grain size and a core with a relatively large grain size. They are in the spotlight because their mechanical properties reportedly feature strength similar to that of a sintered powder with a fine grain size and elongation similar to that of a sintered powder with a coarse grain size at the same time. In this study, the tensile properties, microstructure, and stretch-flangeability of harmonic structure SUS304L made using powder metallurgy are investigated to check its suitability for automotive applications. The harmonic powders are made by mechanical milling and sintered using a spark plasma sintering method at 1173 K and a pressure of 50 MPa in a cylindrical die. The sintered powders of SUS304L having harmonic structure (harmonic SUS304L) exhibit excellent tensile properties compared with sintered powders of SUS304L having homogeneous microstructure. In addition, the harmonic SUS304L has excellent stretch-flangeability compared with commercial advanced high-strength steels (AHSSs) at a similar strength grade. Thus, the harmonic SUS304L is more suitable for automotive applications than conventional AHSSs because it exhibits both excellent tensile properties and stretch-flangeability.

Grain boundary diffusion technique with $DyH_3$ nanoparticles was applied to fabricate Dy-less sintered Nd-Fe-B permanent magnets with high coercivity. The magnetic properties and microstructure of magnets were systematically studied. The coercivity and remanence of grain boundary diffusion magnet were improved by 60% and reduced by 7% compared with those of the original magnet, respectively. Meanwhile, both the remanence temperature coefficient (${\alpha}$) and the coercivity temperature coefficient (${\beta}$) of the magnets were improved after diffusion treatment. Investigation shows that Dy is preferentially enriched as (Nd, Dy)$_2Fe_{14}B$ phase in the surface region of the $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ matrix grains indicated by the remarkable enhancement of the magneto-crystalline anisotropy field of the magnet. As a result, the magnet diffused with a small amount of Dy nanoparticles possesses enhanced coercivity without remarkably sacrificing its magnetization.

The inspection of surface properties under n-octadecyltrichlorosilane treated $SiO_2$ film was carried out by current-voltage characteristic and the scanning electron microscope. The voltage at zero current in low electric field is the lowest at 0.3 % OTS treated $SiO_2$ film with hybrid type. $SiO_2$ films changed from inorganic to hybrid or organic properties according to the increase of OTS content. OTS treated $SiO_2$ films with hybrid properties decreased the leakage currents, and the grain size of pentacene deposited sample was also the most small at the hybrid properties. The perpendicular generation of pentacene molecular was related with the surface of insulators. The surface with hybrid properties decreased the grain size, but that with inorganic or organic properties increased the grain size.

Both export and import sides of grain trade market are analyzed and compared in terms of the static levels and dynamic trends to make new empirical inference on the imperfect competition degree. Export concentration level is high compared to import concentration level. And such states have been sustained since 2001 until 2014. Unlike public concerns, the concentration level of export side seems to be easing by small degree. However, the grain trade market remains imperfect competitive market. Furthermore, overall imperfective competition condition over 2002-2014 has been worsened compared to 2001 level. It is because the reduction level of imports concentration is higher than that of the export concentration. Gini and Atkinson Inequality Index based on Lorenz Curve are newly utilized to analyze market concentration level, instead of the commonly used concentration ratio.
