An experiment was conducted to study the nutritional quality of whole crop corn silage ensiled with cage layer manure in sheep. Treatments were designed as a $3{\times}3$ Latin square with 16-day periods. Sheep were allotted in one of three diet-treatments, which were whole crop corn silage (CS), whole crop corn+30% cage layer manure (CLM) silage (based on DM; MS) and rice straw+concentrate (SC) mixed at 8:2 ratio (on DM basis). Silage ensiled with CLM significantly increased (p<0.05) digestibilities of crude protein, NDF and ADF, TDN over the other treatments. Ruminal pH in sheep fed SC was significantly (p<0.05) higher than that of the other diets at 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 8 h after feeding. Ruminal ammonia nitrogen concentration of the MS treatment was significantly (p<0.05) higher than that of the other treatments at 0, 1, 2 h after feeding. The MS treatment highly increased (p<0.05) feed intake, digestibility of organic matter and crude protein, nitrogen intake and retained nitrogen. The MS treatment highly increased (p<0.05) purine derivative (PD) excretion leading to higher microbial protein synthesis.

A alkalophilic strain, Bacillus licheniformis MH31 producing an alkaline protease was isolated from mine soil of Boryeong in Korea. Production of a high level of alkaline protease was achieved 42 h after incubation when the bacterium was grown at pH 9.0 and $35^{\circ}C$ in Horikoshi medium supplemented with 0.5%(w/v) starch and 1%(w/v) skim milk as carbon and nitrogen source, respectively. The molecular weight of partially purified enzyme was estimated to be 30 kDa by SDS-PAGE and its optimum pH was pH 10. The enzyme showed optimum temperature at $50^{\circ}C$, and was stable up to $60^{\circ}C$ after 1 h incubation. The protease was strongly inhibited by 1 mM of PMSF which was known well as strong inhibitor of serine proteases, but almost not inhibited by 5 mM of EDTA and 1,10-phenanthroline. When the protein hydrolysis products of 1% skim milk by partially purified protease was compared with available commercial proteases using HPLC analysis, most of hydrolysis products were detected below molecular weight of 10,000 and the hydrolysis ratio of purified enzyme was 24.8% lower than those(above 32%) of commercial proteases.

1, 2-Isopropylidene glycerol produced by ketalyzation of glycerol with aceton was esterified with long chain fatty acids in the presence of a Mucor miehei lipase to obtain 1, 2-isopropylidene 3-long chain acyl glycerol. To determine optimal conditions for the esterification reaction, esterification was proceeded as a reversible second-order reaction in various parameters that are enzyme/substrate ratio 0.096g/g at reaction temperatures ranged from $25^{\circ}C$ to $70^{\circ}C$. The order of reaction rate of fatty acids were lauric acid, myristic acid, oleic acid, and stearic acid. The range of their activation energies were from 7.8 to 11.4 (kcal/mol) and that of entropies of activation which have negative values were from 42.8 to 52.5(e.u.).

We report microwave properties of high-T$_c$ superconducting (HTS) microstrip antennas without impedance matching circuits, where the impedance mismatching is obvious under the critical temperature (T$_c$). The superconducting thin films used in this report were YBa$_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$ (YBCO) films deposited on MgO substrates produced by pulse laser deposition (PLD) technique. At around T$_c$, 86 K the reflection coefficient rapidly drops, and the standing wave ratio (SWR) becomes almost unity, and the characteristic impedance based on the Smith chart is nearly 50 ${\Omega}$. The reflection coefficient and the SWR of the HTS microstrip antenna were - 62.52 dB and 1.0015, respectively, at the resonant frequency of 11.812 CHz at 86 K.

We have fabricated and tested a simple circuit of the rapid single-flux-quantum(RSFQ) four-stage shift register using a single layer high-T$_c$ superconducting (HTS) YBa$_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$ (YBCO) thin film structure with 9 step-edge Josephson junctions. The circuit includes two read superconducting quantum interference devices(SQUID) and four stages. To establish a robust HTS RSFQ device fabrication process, we have focussed the reproducible process of sharp and straight step-edge formation as well as the ratio of film thickness to step height t/h. The spread of step-edge junction parameters was measured from each13 junctions with t/h=l/3, l/2, and 2/3 at various temperatures. We have demonstrated the simplified operation of the shift register at 65 K..

The Anorthite is useful compound for some ceramic industries but it is difficult to produce Anorthite because of its high melting point (1553$^{\circ}C$) and narrow firing range. On this study, glass frit was added to Anorthite batch composition to widen firing range and lower melting point. After mixing a glass frit $(Na_2O-CaO-6SiO_2)$ with Anorthite, it was melted and quenched. Ratio of Anorthite vs. glass frit was 9 : 1, 8.5 : 1.5, 8 : 2, 7.5 : 2.5, 7 : 3. In those batch composition added amount of $No_2O$ were between 1.3wt.% and 3.9wt.%. To find the thermal change of the quenched, D.T.A. was surveyed. The quenched were fired at various vitrification temperature and detected by X-Raydiffraction analysis. With addition of glass frit, firing range and vitrification temperature of Anorthite was 100~15$0^{\circ}C$ and 1050~115$0^{\circ}C$ respectively. Optimum amount of glass frit was 20wt.% for the upper mentioned.

We have fabricated and tested a simple circuit of the rapid single-flux-quantum(RSFQ) four-stage shift register using a single layer high-$T_c$ superconducting (HTS) $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$ (YBCO) thin film structure with 9 step-edge Josephson junctions. The circuit includes two read superconducting quantum interference devices(SQUID) and four stages. To establish a robust HTS RSFQ device fabrication process, we have focussed on the reproducible process of sharp and straight step-edge formation as well as the ratio of film thickness to step height, t/h. The spread of step-edge junction parameters was measured from each 13 junctions with t/h=1/3, 1/2, and 2/3 at various temperatures. We have demonstrated the simplified operation of the shift register at 65 K.

Since particle size distribution curves are useful to estimate permeability of soil, many formulae for permeability coefficient (k) have been published using the parameter from the curves and factors, such as grain size, particle shape and void ratio of soils. However, the parameters such as $C_c,\;C_u$ and $D_n$ derived from only some discrete points on the curve are insufficient to represent the whole gradation. In this paper fractal dimension which is quite new concept and known to be able to represent the entire curve of particle size distribution is employed for the parameters. An empirical formula of permeability coefficient has been developed with fractal dimension and percent of finer than 0.075 mm. The formula developed from this study has confirmed its effectiveness by a series of laboratory tests and comparison to other published formulae. It is found that permeability coefficient is proportional to fractal dimension and inversely proportional to percent of fines.

The sintering and electrical properties of the hydrothermal PSZT powders obtained by substituting 4, 6 and 8mol% Sr for Pb in PZT lattice structure were investigated. The lattice constant and particle size decreased in proportion to a quantity of Sr. The sintering properties of PSZT powders showed $7.754g/cm^3$ of sintered density and $4{\mu}m$ of grain size at sintering temperature of $1250^{\circ}C$. Curie temperature lowered gradually from $363.6^{\circ}C\;to\;319.2^{\circ}C$ and relative dielectric constants increased rapidly by a quantity of Sr. In comparison to PZT, moreover, the quality factor of PSZT was increased more than three times with increase of Sr mole ratio, and piezoelectric constant $(d_{31}\;and\;g_{31})$ was decreased. It was found that dielectric loss of PSZT was decreased by 0.574% which was half of PZT.

It has been a long time since organic solar cells were expected as a low-cost energy-conversion device. Although practical use of them has not been achieved, technological progress continues. Morphology of the materials, organic/inorganic interface, metal cathodes, molecular packing and structural properties of the donor and acceptor layers are essential for photovoltaic response. We have fabricated solar cell devices based on zinc-phthalocyanine(ZnPc) as donor(D) and fullerene$(C_60)$ as electron acceptor(A) with doped charge transport layers, and BCP and $Alq_3$ as an exciton blocking layer(EBL). We have measured the photovoltaic characteristics of the solar cell devices using the Xe lamp as a light source. We were use of $Alq_3$ layer leads to external power conversion efficiency was $2.65\%$ at illumination intensity $100\;mW/cm^2$. Also we confirmed the optimum thickness ratio of the DA hetero-junction is about 1:2.
