It was realized that MC-XRD is useful for phase analyzing of inclusions in crystals because it can focus the X-Ray beam to the small particles sized dozens of $\mu\textrm{m}$ with high S/N ratio. By using this MC-XRD, needle-like inclusions which are seen generally in corundum crystals known as rutile was found to be the iron titanium oxide and iron oxide which has the chemical composition of $Fe_2TiO_4,\; Fe_2TiO_5,\; Fe_2O_3$respectively

The population density of excited species in dc, rf and laser ablation plume plasmas has been measured using laser absorption spectroscopy. It was shown that, when the plasma was modulated by on and off with, the sensitivity and signal to noise (S/N) ratio became high. For example, the atomic O(3$^{5}$ S$^{o}$ $_2$) Population density, No* in $O_2$/He mixtures was obtained by the highest S/N ratio at a frequency of 2.7kHz. In a 20Torr room air, the lowest No* level to be detectable was shown to be an order of 10$^{7}$ cm$^{-3}$ . The population densities of resonance Ar(1S$_2$) and Xe(1S$_4$) levels were also measured in barrier discharges and laser ablation plasmas.

In this study, simulation results of nitrogen and phosphorus removals and microbial activities for an $A_2O$ process in wastewater treatment plant are presented by using Activated Sludge Models (ASMs). Simulations were performed using pre-calibrated model and layout implemented in GPS-X simulation software. The models were used to investigate variations of SRT, water temperature, DO and C/N ratio effect on nutrients removal and microbial activity. According to the simulated results, the successful nitrification required SRT higher than 10.3 days, whereas increase of $NO_3$-N loading in the anaerobic reactor caused phosphorus release by PAOs; the effluent $NH_4$-N showed rapid change between $12^{\circ}C$(21.7 mg/L) and $13^{\circ}C$(3.2 mg/L); the effluent phosphorus was increased up to 1.9 mg/L at water temperature of $25^{\circ}C$; the DO increase was positive for heterotrophs and autotrophs growths but negative for PAOs growth; the PAOs showed low activity when C/N ratio was lower than 2.5. The experimental results indicated that the calibrated models can assure the prediction quality of the ASMs and can be used to optimize the $A_2O$ process.

The polysaccharide C prepared from gum tragacanth powder (U. S. P. grade) by the precipitation method with 85% ethanol was a neutral polysaccharide, $[{\alpha}]^{30}_D-72.2$. The polysaccharide C consisted of L-rhamnose, D-xylose, L-arabinose and D-galactose in the molar ratio 2:1:17:9 (Table 1, 2, 3, ). The polysaccharide C was methylated with dimethylsulphate and 40% NaOH, and Purdies regent. The hydrolyzate of fully methlated product ($[{\alpha}]^{22}_D-102$ in chloroform, the methoxy content 40.6%) was composed of 2, 3, 5-tri-O-methyl-L-arabofuranose (I), 3,4-di-O-methyl-L-rhamnopyranose (II), 2,3-di-O-methyl-D-xylose (III), 2,3,4-tri-O-methyl-D-galactopyranose (IV), 2,4-di-O-methyl-L-arabopyranose (?), 2,4-di-O-methyl-D-galactose(VI), 2-O-methyl-D-arabinose (VII), and L-arabopyranose(VIII) (Table 4, 5, and Fig. 4). The first partial hydrolysis (A) of the polysaccharide C with 0.05N-HCl for 4.5 hours at $80-85^{\circ}C$ released only L-arabinose: the second hydrolysis (B) with 0.1N-HCl for 5 hours at $80-85^{\circ}C$, L-arabinose and D-galactose; and the third hydrolysis (C) with 0.3N-HCl at $90-95^{\circ}C$ in sealed tube, L-rhamnose, D-xylose, L-arabinose and D-galactose. From the unhydrolyzate A' were found L-rhamnose, D-xylose, L-arabinose, and D-galactose; from B' L-rhamnose, d-xylose, L-arabinose and D-galactose; and from C' D-xylose and D-galactose respectively (Table 6). The periodate consumption and formic acid production of the polysaccharide C were measured at various time intervals. After 120 hours periodat was consumed by 1.23 mole per $C_5H_8O_4$ and formic acid was produced 0.78 mole per $C_5H_8O_4$ (Table 7). Although a definite chemical structure for this polysaccharide C may not be formulated, experimental data, especially, from methylation, partial hydrolysie and determination of its molar ratio, and periodate analysis showed that the polysaccharide C is a highly branched polysaccharide and would be constructed of galactoaraban as a main chain residue and L-arabofuranose, D-galactopyranosyl $(1{\rightarrow}1)$-L-arabofuranose, D-xylopyranosyl $(1{\rightarrow}2)$-L-rhamnopyranosyl $(1{\rightarrow}1)$-L-arabofuranose, and L-rhamnopyranosyl $(1{\rightarrow}1)$-arabofuranose, and D-galactopyranosyl-$(1{\rightarrow}2)$-L-arabopyranosyl-$(1{\rightarrow}1)$-I-arabofuranose as a branch chain or end group (page 21).

In this paper, we suggest a parallel algorithm to merge priority queues organized in two heaps, kheap and nheap of sizes k and n, correspondingly. Employing max(2$^{-1}$, $\ulcorner$(m＋1)/4$\lrcorner$'s processors, this algorithm requires O(log(n/k)＊log(n)) on an EREW-PRAM, where i is the height of the heap and m is the summation of sizes n and k. Also, when we run it on the MasPar machine, this method achieves a 33.934-fold speedup with 64 processors to merge 8 million data items which consist of two heaps of different sizes. So our parallel algorithm's EPU is close to 1, which is considered as an optimal speedup ratio.eedup ratio.

In this paper, the dielectric and pizoelectric properties of 0.05Pb(M $n_{04}$ $W_{0.2}$N $b_{0.4}$) $O_3$-0.95(PbZ $r_{x}$ $Ti_{1-x}$ ) $O_3$+yN $b_2$ $O_{5}$ , are investigated as a function of the mole ratio of Zr and the amount of N $b_2$ $O_{5}$ . Also, the phase is analyzed by XRD. When the mole ratio of Zr is 0.51, the electromechanical coupling coefficient( $k_{p}$ ), relative dielectric constant ($\varepsilon$$^{T}$ $_{33}$ /$\varepsilon$$_{0}$ ), piezoelectric stain constrain ( $d_{33}$ and dielectric loss tangent show maximum, while the mechanical quality factor shows minimum value ; $k_{p}$ =56.5%, $d_{33}$ =258pC/N, $\varepsilon$$^{T}$ $_{33}$ /$\varepsilon$$_{0}$ =1170, $Q_{m}$ =1150, tan$\delta$=0.51%. At that composition, MPB which rhombohedral and tetragonal phase coexist in this ternary system is shown by the results of XRD analysis. Also, when the amount of N $b_2$ $O_{5}$ is 0.3wt%, the mechanical quality factor is increased to about 2000. The phase transition temperature of the ternary piezoelectric ceramic system showed about 35$0^{\circ}C$.TEX>.>.>.

This study aimed to investigate the changes in chemical components that occur when weak clay is mixed with steel slag modified with calcium oxide, and to understand the expression characteristics of compressive strength according to hydrophilicity and curing time. XRF testing, SEM imaging, vane shear strength and uniaxial compressive strength testing were conducted. Calcium (Ca) released from the steel slag increases the Ca content in clay by increasing the number of crystal particles and forming a coating layer known as calcium silicate hydrate (CaO-SiO₂-H₂O) through chemical reactions with SiO₂ and Al₂O₃ components. The weak clay stabilized with steel slag is classified into an initial inactive zone where strength relatively does not increase and an activation zone where strength increases over curing time. The vane shear strength of the initial inactive area was found to be 4.4 to 18.4 kN/m² in the state of the weight mixing ratio Rss 30% (steel slag 30% + clay 70%). In the case of the active area, the maximum uniaxial compressive strength increased to 431.8 kN/m² after 480 hours of curing time, which increased due to the apparent adhesion strength of clay through pozzolanic reaction. Therefore, considering the strength expression characteristics of stabilized mixed clay based on the mixing ratio (Rss) during the recycling of steel slag can enhance its practicality in civil engineering sites.

Nanosize NiO powder was prepared by mixing acidic nickel nitrate with basic nickel carbonate. The particle size and morphology of NiO were mainly governed by the mole ratio of the nitrate to the carbonate. The effects were studied by DSC, XRD, FTIR, and SEM. Heat treatment conditions influence the particle size distribution of produced NiO powder extensively for the case of 3N7C (3 moles of the nitrate and 7 moles of the carbonate) and 4N6C, but only slightly for 1N9C and 2N8C. Uniform pseudospherical NiO particles were obtained in $50{\sim}70$ nm for 1N9C and $30{\sim}60$ nm for 2N8C by calcination at $750{^{\circ}C}$ for 2 h.

To determine the accurate C/N ratio of compost, biodegradable carbon and nitrogen in compost must be analyzed. In biodegradable nitrogen analyzed by Kjeldahl Method, nitrate and nitrite which are available for microbes can not be detected at all. By means of $F{\"{o}}rster$ Method, nitrate and nitrite can be detected. Therefore, various nitrogens in compost were analyzed by Kjeldahl and $F{\"{o}}rster$ Method to investigate the seasonal changes of various C/N ratios of compost. C/N ratios in compost analyzed by Kjeldahl and $F{\"{o}}rster$ Method were decreased rapidly within 2 weeks after composting, then were not changed to 6 weeks, and thereafter were decreased slowly with the lapse of composting time. C/N ratios analyzed by Kjeldahl Method were higher than those analyzed by $F{\"{o}}rster$ Method. C/N ratios of total carbon/total nitrogen analyzed by Kjeldahl Method were higher(5 as C/N ratio or 36%) than those of biodegradable carbon/biodegradable nitrogen analyzed by $F{\"{o}}rster$ Method. Highly positive correlations were observed among C/N ratios of total carbon/total nitrogen analyzed by Kjeldahl Method total carbon/total nitrogen analyzed by $F{\"{o}}rster$ Method and biodegradable carbon/biodegradable nitrogen analyzed by $F{\"{o}}rster$ Method one another.

This study was investigated to the reaction of alumina sintering with alkaline. The soluble $NaAlO_2$ was made after the commercial ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ was calcinated with NaOH. The reaction of alumina was carried out to be based on the effects of calcination temperature, time, and the mixing ratio of ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3/NaOH$. The alumina was calcined over $500^{\circ}C$ with NaOH powder after it was sieved with 170/270 mesh. The calcined alumina with NaOH powder was dissolved into $25^{\circ}C$ distilled water and filtrated, and HCI was added to adapt pH 6.5~7.5. The residue was separated with vacuum pump for filtration after it was adapted to proper pH, and aluminum compound was precipitated with $Al(OH)_3$. The investigation was carried out with the variables; the calcination temperature($500-900^{\circ}C$), the calcination time (30~90 min), and the concentration of HCI when leaching(0.5~3.0N) respectively. In this investigation, the main product of ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ and NaOH was $NaAlO_2$ and the maximum conversion ratio was 91.4% under the optimum conditions as followed ; the ratio of NaOH/${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ was 1.5 and the calcination conditions were $800^{\circ}C$ and 90 min.
