Purpose: The aim of this study is to develop a small combine for harvesting miscellaneous cereal crops. Methods: A prototype small combine was designed and constructed. Its specifications and basic performance were investigated. Results: The prototype small combine for harvesting miscellaneous cereal crops was designed and constructed to reflect similar specifications as those of the conventional combine. The prototype small combine comprises a diesel engine with the rated power/speed of 22.0 kW/2,600 rpm, three-stage primary and two-stage speed range transmission shifts, and a double acting threshing part. The maximum travel speeds of the prototype combine are approximately 0.72 m/s, 2.50 m/s, 0.30 m/s at the low, high speed range shifts in the forward direction, and while traversing in the reverse direction, respectively. The minimum radius of turning was approximately 1.50 m. In a static lateral overturning test, the prototype combine overturned neither to the right nor to left on a $30^{\circ}$ slope. The results of an oilseed rape harvesting test included the maximum operating speed of 0.32 m/s, the grain loss ratio of approximately 9.0%, and the effective field capacity of approximately 10.3 a/h. Additionally, among the outputs in grain outlet, the whole grains, damage grains, and materials other than grain (MOG) ratios accounted for 97.4%, 0.0%, and 2.6%, respectively. Conclusions: The prototype small combine for harvesting miscellaneous cereal crops indicates good driving ability and stability. The results of the oilseed rape harvesting test reveal that the harvesting performance must be enhanced such that the separating and cleaning parts are more suitable for each type of crop, thus reducing grain loss and foreign substances among the outputs in grain outlet. An improved small prototype combine could be used effectively to mechanize the harvesting of miscellaneous cereal crops in small family farms or semi-mountainous areas.

Sintering behaviour of zirconia powders prepared by different processing treatment was discussed. About >99% densities of theoretical were obtaiend on sintering at 140$0^{\circ}C$ for 2h in case of 300MPa uniaxially cold-pressed compact. But the lower densities were obtained on sintering above this temperature due to abnormal grain growth enabling the tetragonal to monoclinic phase transformation during cooling resulted in microcracks. All kinds of different dried powders exhibited nearly the same shrinkage behaviour with end-point shrinkage between 19 and 20%, and had maximum shrinkage rate (0.99~1.27%/min) around 120$0^{\circ}C$. During whole sintering process densification was mainly governed by grain growth and rearrangement of agglomerates. Heterogeneous abnormal grain growth and abrupt decrease in shrinkage were observed when continuous interagglomerate pore collapsed into isolated pores.

A feeding experiment was conducted to determine the effect of dietary distillers dried grain (DDG) on the growth and body composition of juvenile abalone, Haliotis discus hannai. Three diets were formulated to contain 0% (DDG0), 30% DDG (DDG1) replacing wheat flour and 30% DDG (DDG2) replacing fish meal and wheat flour. A commercial feed (CF) was also compared with experimental diets. Three replicate groups of abalone averaging $0.6{\pm}0.01g$ were fed one of the four diets for 14 weeks. The highest survival rate was observed in the abalone fed the DDG2 diet, which was higher than that of abalone fed the DDG0 diet. Weight gain, shell length, shell width and soft body weight of the abalone were not affected by dietary DDG and CF diet (P > 0.05). Proximate and amino acid composition of the soft whole body were not affected by dietary DDG and CF diet (P > 0.05). The result of this experiment suggests that DDG is a good ingredient to replace fish meal and wheat flour in the diet and could be used up to 30% in the diet without negative effects on the growth performance of juvenile abalone Haliotis discus hannai.

We investigated to DC magnetic characteristics, the dependence of annealing temperature on the crystal grain and the crystalline orientation for grain-oriented silicon ribbon with 100 $\mu\textrm{m}$ final thickness manufactured by three times cold rolling method using the hot-rolled silicon steel plate as a raw material. The growth of (110)[001] Goss texture were almost observed in the whole area of the sample. The values of the saturation magnetic flux density B$\sub$s/ and the average ${\alpha}$ angle have 1.9 T and 4.6 degrees respectively. From this result we could be confirmed that the three times cold rolling method has a possibility of manufacture for oriented ultra-thin silicon ribbons much more simple and cheeper than the existing oriented silicon steel manufacturing method by means of more simplified producing process.

This experiment was conducted to investigate the cultural practices for improvement of rice grain quality under different cultivation times and fertilizer levels at panicle initiation, heading and different drainage times after heading. The obtained results could be summarized as follows. In consideration of brown rice whole kernel form, and analyzed physico-chemical properties cultivation time required the optimum season before June 5. Feltilizer level at panicle initiation and heading needed 3kg/10a or less. Drainage time desired late drainage at 30-40 days after heading.

As the martensite structure cause fracture failure during drawing from 5.5mm rod to 3.05mm dia. wire without additional heat treatment, the optium cooling condition to inhibit the occurrence of martensite was investigated. In order to get SAE9254+V quality, the effects of alloying element, vanadium on the mechanical properties were investigated. Based upon CCT and TTT curves and the results form cooling test in mill, optimun cooling was found in the condition of the laying head temp of 780$^{\circ}C$ and of the conveyor speed at 0.15m/sec with the whole cover closed. The wire rods produced under the condition showed the best mechanical properties of 120kg/$\textrm{mm}^2$ in TS and 50% in RA, having an excellent drawability. In vanadium added steels, tensile strength was improved without degrading elongation and charpy impact value. That means the strengthening by vanadium is mainly due to the grain refinement by the fine precipitates during tempering process.

A combined extrusion process studied here consists of forward and backward extrusion, and it is formed in single operation. The metal flow involved in the operation has appeared to be difficult to analyze accurately because of mixed directions of the flow. In this study, conventional two operations of a forward and a backward extrusions is transformed into one operation of mixed extrusion. A process designed by an industry expert is simulated by the rigid-plastic finite element method to investigate the metal flow and defects. In addition to the FEM simulation, experimental analysis has been carried out to confirm the design in industry, which includes material characterization, preliminary expriment, and whole experimental forming operation. The experimental results show that warm forming of extrusion is more desirable than cold working and hot forming in view of grain growth. Also two conditions of lubrication between workpiece and die has been investigated.

In this report, some practical problems that are concerned with the infected barley were examined. Most of the toxic substance is present in the bran. It was almost impossible to remove the toxic substance with water or methanol completly, however, we found it is effectively eliminated by soaking the whole grain with 2%, calcium hydroxide suspension for 24 hours. As a detoxifying agent, kieselguhr was very effective; the grain mixed with little amounts (0.4-0.5%) of kieselguhr may be used as an animal feed.

The icy mantles of interstellar grains are developed by the freeze-out of interstellar molecules and atoms onto grain surfaces. The ice molecules become more complex by surface chemistry induced directly by high energy photons or by the thermal energy diffused over heated grain surface. Therefore, the ice composition is an important tracer of physical conditions where the ices form. Ices have been studied via their absorption features against continuum sources, such as young stellar objects or evolved background stars, in infrared wavelengths. The Spitzer IRS was the most sensitive spectrometer for the observations of infrared ice absorption features. We has been developing an automated analysis tool for the Spitzer IRS spectra, especially for the 15 ㎛ CO₂ bending mode. The 15 ㎛ CO₂ absorption feature is very useful for the study of accretion process in star formation since its spectral shape varies with thermal condition of the dust grains. Eventually, this tool will cover the whole range of the Spitzer IRS spectrum (5~20 ㎛).

Physicochemical properties of milled rice, brown rice, pearled barley, wheat, sorghum, foxtail millet, soybean, and adzuki bean were evaluated for the production of extrusion formed multi-grain. Grain flours showed large differences in chemical composition including starch, protein, fat, ash, and total dietary fiber contents. Grain flours were brighter in the following order of milled rice>pearled barley>soybean>brown rice>wheat>sorghum>adzuki bean>foxtail millet, and most of the grain flours showed red-yellowish color. Mean particle sizes of grain flours were different among various grains, and whole grain flours tended to have coarser particle size than milled grain flours. The amounts of damaged starch in cereal flours were varied from 5.4 to 10.9%, and limited amount of damaged starch was present in legume flours. Water absorption index of grain flours was, in decreasing order, adzuki>bean>milled rice>brown rice>sorghum>wheat>foxtail millet>pearled barley>soybean. Water solubility index was higher in legume flours containing high protein content.
