It is understood that drum speed of threshers and the moisture content of paddy grains to be threshed, respectively, have a signific:mt effect upon rice recoveries. Threshing under an increased drum speed would give a high performance rate, which is the general practice in custom work threshing in association with the use of semiauto-t hreshers. In the connection, however, it may result in the promotion of grain cracks and brokens of the rice product after milling. No reference or determination for an opti mum drum speed of the thresher is made available for various grain moisture contents at the time of the threshing operation and for different rice varieties especially for the Tongil rice varieties. This study was Conducted to find out and determine effects of the drum speeds on grain losses. The grain loss was quantified in terms of recovery rates of rice grains after treatments. Samples of each of all treatments were taken from the grain sampling plate placed in the grain conveyor of threshers. The grain sample plate was specially provided for this experiment. The brown-rice, milling, and head-rice recJveries were tes ted in the laboratory mill, respectively. Two rice varieties, Akibare and Suweon 251, each with five levels of different moist\ulcornerure contents at harvest and six levels of different drum speeds of threshers, were selected and used for treatments in this experiment. Two conditions of materials were tested in the thresher. One condition was to thresh the experimental material immediately after cutting, referred to as the wet-material thr eshing in this study. The other was to thresh the experimental :material, dried to contain about 15-16 percent of the grain moisture under the shocking operation. This is referred to as the dry-material threshing in this study. In additioon, field measurements for the grain moistures and drum-sdeeds under actual operation practices of the traditional field threshing, were conducted with a view to comparing with results of the experimental treatments. The results of the study may be summarized as follows: 1. For threshing treatments of Japonica-type rice variety (Akibare) , the effect of drum speeds and levels of grain moisture at cutting upon brown-rice, milling, and head-rice recoveries were found statistically significant. No significant difference in these recovery rates was noticed regardless of whether the material was threshed right after cutting or after drying by the shocking operation. 2. For the Tongil-sister rice variety(Suweon 251), milling recovery for the varied drum-speed and the grain~moisture level at cutting was found statististically significant. Th milling recovery was much significant when associated with the wet-material thres\ulcornerhing compared to the dry-material threshing. 3. The optimum peripheral velocity to be maintained at the edge of teeth on the thr\ulcorneresher drum was determined and may be recommanded as that of about 12 to 13 meters per second in view of the maximum recovery rate of the milled rice. 4. The effect of the drum speed on the qualitative loss of the milled rice was much greater in the case of the Tongil variety than Japonica. This effect was also greater by the wet-material threshing than by the dry-material threshing. Therefore, to apply the wet-material threshing operation for the Tongil variety, in particular, it should be very important to introduce the kind of threshing technology which would maintain the drum speed at optimum. 5. A field survey for the actual drum speed of threshing operations for 50 threshers indicated that average peripheral velccity was 12.76m/sec., and that the range was from 10.50 to 14.90m/sec. Approximately, more than 30% of the experimented and measured threshers were being operated at speeds which exceeded the optimum speed determined and assessed in this study. Accordingly, it should be highly desirable and important to take counter-measures against these threshing practices of operational overspeed.

Fundamental experiences have been studied for development of pre-treatment process of Sn by-products such as solders. Dry and wet separation/recovery processes were considered by the differences of physical properties. The by-products, which are analyzed by solder metal and oxides. The metal and oxide were simply separated by dry ball-milling process for 12 hours, after that recovery metal powder might be reusable as lead or lead-free solders. In terms of wet separation process, samples were dissolved in $HNO_3+H_2O_2$ and the precipitation were analyzed by $SnO_2$. Overall efficiency of recovery might be increasing via developing simple pre-treatment process.

High-speed machining generates concentrated Thermal/fractional damage at the cutting edge and rapidly decreases the tool life. This paper is aimed at improving the tool life using compressed chilly air. In this paper, the experiments were carried out in various cutting environments, such as dry, wet and compressed chilly air. Tool life were measured to evaluate machinability in high-speed milling of various materials. With respect to the cutting environment, compressed chilly air increased tool life. However, the wet condition decreased tool life due to the thermal shock caused by excessive cooling.

Fabrication technique of $(Th,U)O_2$ pellets has been investigated. Powder mixtures of $ThO_2\;and\;UO_2$ were milled in two different ways-dry and wet milling. Milled powder was compacted and sintered to $(Th,U)O_2$ pellets. The wet-milled powder leads to a $(Th,U)O_2$ pellet having a high sintered density and uniform distribution of U and Th, compared to the dry-milled powder. The sintered density of a $(Th,U)O_2$ pellet tends to decrease by increasing the content of $ThO_2$. The thermal conductivity of $ThO_2\;and\;(Th,U)O_2$ pellets was measured by the laser flash method. The thermal conductivity of the $ThO_2$ pellet is higher than that of the $UO_2$ pellet, and the thermal conductivities of $(Th,U)O_2$ pellets containing $65wt\%\;and\;35wt\%\;ThO_2$ pellets are lower than that of the $UO_2$ pellet.

The current study investigated the effect of rice cultivars (Samkwang and Seolgaeng) and milling methods on various characteristics of rice bread. In dry milling, all component characteristics, except the water solubility index, were higher. In terms of the morphology of starch, Samkwang exhibited an angular shape, while Seolgaeng exhibited a round shape. Wet milled flour yielded fine polygonal starch compared to dry milled flour. In regard to the quality characteristics of bread, both wet milled Samkwang and dry milled Seolgaeng showed closely similar specific volumes of 2.90 mL/g and 2.86 mL/g, respectively. Hardness was in the range of 555.50 - 597.29 g for Seolgaeng and 776.78 - 823.06 g for Samkwang. Thus, although the flour characteristics were different, dry milled Seolgaeng, the rice flour of which is economical to produce and has baking characteristics similar to that of wheat flour, appears to be preferable.

The storage characteristics of milled rice produced using the dry-type (DT), semi-dry-type (SDT), and wet-type (WT) systems were studied. Immediately after rice was milled with these systems, storage experiments on the milled rice were conducted for 12 weeks at three temperatures (10, 20, and $30^{\circ}C$). As the storage period increased, the color (b value) and the fat acidity slowly increased, and the whiteness, moisture content, turbidity, solid matter, and number of total bacteria decreased. The effects of the storage temperature on the moisture content, total number of bacteria, and fat acidity were greater than those of the milling system type. The high storage temperature showed greater potential for increasing the moisture content and the fat acidity and decreasing the total number of bacteria. The initial moisture content of the sample produced using the WT milling system was higher than that of the other samples. Also, the initial turbidity and solid matter of the WT system sample were lower than those of the other samples, but the degree of the decrease was similar to that of the others as the storage period passed. These results showed that the system type and the storage temperature are important factors in the safe storage of wash-free rice. Specifically, the wet type milling system affected the initial quality properties, which made its safe storage period shorter than in the other types.

The development of non-flammable all-solid-state batteries (ASSLBs) has become a hot topic due to the known drawbacks of commercial lithium-ion batteries. As the possibility of applying sulfide solid electrolytes (SSEs) for electric vehicle batteries increases, efforts for the low-cost mass-production are actively underway. Until now, most studies have used high-energy mechanical milling, which is easy to control composition and impurities and can reduce the process time. Through this, various SSEs that exceed the Li⁺ conductivity of liquid electrolytes have been reported, and expectations for the realization of ASSLBs are growing. However, the high-energy mechanical milling method has disadvantages in obtaining the same physical properties when mass-produced, and in controlling the particle size or shape, so that physical properties deteriorate during the full process. On the other hand, wet chemical synthesis technology, which has advantages in mass production and low price, is still in the initial exploration stage. In this technology, SSEs are mainly manufactured through producing a particle-type, solution-type, or mixed-type precursor, but a clear understanding of the reaction mechanism hasn't been made yet. In this review, wet chemical synthesis technologies for SSEs are summarized regarding the reaction mechanism between the raw materials in the solvent.

The properties of ceramics by solid-state reaction with hydroxyapatite[$Ca_{10}(PO_4)_6(OH)_2$], which was isolated from tuna bone by wet milling process were investigated. The bulk density $2.93g/cm^3$ at $1350^{\circ}C$ was close to the calculated density $3.21g/cm^3$. On X-ray measurements, the major phases were identified as hydroxyapatite at below $1300^{\circ}C$, but the whitlockite [$Ca_3(PO_4)_2$] phases were appeared due to a decomposition of hydroxyapatite with temperature. The microstructures of sintering specimens were shown as small closed pores between grain boundaries. The mean bending strength of the sintered hydroxyapatite by solid-state reaction is about 58 MPa and this value is higher than that of the articular cartilage maximum strength, 40MPa.

In the present work, planar-type ZnO powder of [0001] plane with a high aspect ratio range of 20:1 to 50:1 was synthesized. Ag or CuO could be coated on the planar-type ZnO powder by wet methods such as centrifugation or ball milling. During the coating, the average size of the powder was slightly increased while maintaining the shape and XRD pattern of ZnO. When Ag or CuO was coated, the absolute value of the zeta potential, as well as the concentration of oxygen vacancy, was increased. Ag or CuO coated planar-type ZnO power exhibited excellent antibacterial performance, which seems to be related to their high electrostatic attraction force. They could be made into a masterbatch by mixing with ABS resin, and their applicability to antibacterial substances was confirmed by manufacturing the caps of a keyboard.
