Phase spearated glass is heterogeneous in microscopic point of view and the heterogeneities affect the structures of glasses. In the present work the phase separation of $BaO-B_2O_3$ glass system was investigated and the effect of $P_2O_5$ on the phase separation and crystallization was also studied in the above system. Experiments such as scanning electron microscopy X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy were performed. Phase separation with $B_2O_3$ rich phase matrix and BaO rich phase droplet was observed for the glasses containing less than 6 mole% of BaO while the opposite morphology of phase separation was found for the glasses containing more than 7 mole% of BaO. Phase separation region was extended up to the glass with 22mole% of BaO when the amount of $P_2O_5$ was increased. The heat-treated glasses crystallized to BaO.$4B_2O_3$$P_2O_5$ hindered the glass from the crystalli-zation.

Effects of benzyladenine (BA) on viability, cell wall regeneration and division of soybean (Glycine max, Var. Acme) protoplasts isolated from suspension cells of cotyledonary callus were investigated. The uptake of BA by the protoplasts was also studied. BA increased protoplast viability, and promoted cell wall regeneration and cell division. The level of BA in protoplasts was increased to a maximum at about 20 hour incubation and 2/3 of the total amount of BA accumulated in protoplast was absorbed within 6 hours.

The tetragonal tungsten bronze type of Sr$_{x}Ba_{1-x}Nb_{2}O_{6}$(SBN) (0.3$\le$x$\ge$0.7) ceramics was synthesized by the solid state reaction method, and the dielectric properties of SBN ceramics as a function of Sr/Ba ratio were examined. With increasing Sr/Ba ratio in SBN ceramics, the Curie temperature decreased and the maximum dielectric constant at the Curie temperature increased. The relaxor behavior of the SBN ceramics as a function of Sr/Ba ratio was quantitatively evaluated. More relaxor behavior of dielectric characteristics was observed as the ratio of Sr/Ba increased. The experimental results are explained with a viewpoint of crystallography of tungsten bronze structured SBN ceramics.

Using the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), a rapid and sensitive assay method for the detection and identification of barley yellow mosaic virus (BaYMV) and barley mild mosaic virus (BaMMV) was adapted. Two units of primers from each virus were selected and used for the determination of two different viruses. PCR fragments of BaYMV (ca. 0.9kb) and BaMMV (ca. 0.8kb) were obtained from the designed method for the assay of BaYMV and BaMMV coat protein. PT-PCR fragments were cloned using vector pT7 Blue and the sequences of the selected clones were analyzed. coat protein of BaYMV and that of BaMMV consisted of 297 amino acids (891 nucleotides) and 251 amino acids (753 nucleotides), respectively. The snalysis of coat protein genes from these two viruses showed that 45.6% of nucleotides sequence ad 34.9% of amino acid in BaYMV were homologous to those in BaMMV.

The effects of$ Fe_2O_3$ aggregation on the sintering of Ba-ferrite (BaFe$_{12}O_{19}$) were studied. $BaCO_3-Fe_2O_3$ mixtures were prepared by partial precipitation mixing and ball-mill mixing method using two different $Fe_2O_3 $powders. Techniques employed were TG, XRD and SEM. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the over all reaction basically consists of the two consecutive reaction; $BaCO_3 + 6Fe_2O_3\;{\longrightarrow}\;BaFe_2O_3 + 5Fe_2O_3 + CO_2{\uparrow}\;BaFe_2O_4 + 5Fe_2O_3 \;{\longrightarrow}\;BaFe_{12}O_{19}$ It is also shown that the aggregation state of $Fe_2O_3$ raw materials, as well as the mixing method, has a remarkable effect on solid state reaction between $BaCO_3\;and\;Fe_2O_3$.

Two types of poly(n-butyl acrylate) copolymer/silicate nanocomposites have been produced: poly(n-butyl acrylate-co-methyl methacrylate) [P(BA-co-MMA)]/silicate nanocomposites and poly(n-butyl acrylate-co-styrene) [P(BA-co-ST)]/silicate nanocomposites. The P(BA-co-MMA)/silicate nanocomposites shows the exfoliated structures but a P(BA-co-ST)/silicate nanocomposites have intercalated structures, because the BA/MMA comonomer has a higher polarity (e-value in Q-e scheme) than the BA/ST comonomer. The BA/MMA comonomer expanded the interlayer space of the silicate wider than did the BA/ST comonomer. The thermal degradation onset point of the P(BA-co-MMA)/silicate nanocomposites was 43$^{\circ}C$ higher than that of pure P(BA-co-MMA). P(BA-co-MMA)T5%, P(BA-co-MMA)T10%, and P(BA-co-MMA)T20% exhibit 134,302, and 195% increases, respectively, in their storage moduli at -20$^{\circ}C$ relative to the pure copolymer.

The reason of abnormal expansion in BaTiO3 synthesized in the equimolecular mixture and synthesized in Ba-rich region were investigated at the point of crystal and microstructure. The shrinkage and the expansion of the mixtures in BaCO3-TiO2 system were determined by the mass of BaCO3 added to the equimolecular BaCO3 and TiO2, Ba2TiO4 which was much formed and BaTi2O3 were important crystal in the reaction of Ba-rich region. Sintering phenomena of unreacted BaCO3 activity and the secondary phase caused to generate microcracks in the specimens.

Commercial value of soybean sprouts should be affected by their morphology including the lateral roots. This study was carried out to determine the effect of benzyladenopurine (BA) concentration on growth and morphology of soybean sprouts in order to compare them with the selling products collected from the markets. Four cultivars (cv. Eunhakong, Pungsannamulkong, Sowonkong, and Junjery) were cultured for 6 days after imbibed for 5 hours into different BA solutions (0, 1,2,4, and 8 ppm). On the 6th day, hypocotyl length was measured to calculate the composition rate of ＞ 7 cm (A), 4 to 7 cm (B), ＜ 4 cm (C) and non-germination (D), and the ratio of hypocotyl to root length (H/R ratio) on the base of hypocotyl length as well as lateral root, hypocotyl diameter, and fraction fresh and dry weights. The composition rates classified with hypocotyl length showed big differences between 4 cultivars in class A and C; Class A, in which cv. Sowonkong and Junjery had higher rates than cv. Eunhakong and Pungsannamulkong, was decreased with BA concentration of higher than 4 ppm, but class C showed the reverse result to class A. Any lateral root was not formed in higher than 4 ppm BA solutions although fewer in cv. Pungsannamulkong and Junjery than in the two other cultivars. Hypocotyl and root lengths were decreased with increased BA concentrations, and in all BA concentration, hypocotyl length of cv. Junjery was the longest. Hypocotyl diameter, hypocotyl and total fresh weights were thicker and heavier in 2 to 4 ppm BA concentrations than in the other ones, although in case of BA application, cv, Eunhakong and Sowonkong were heavier. The H/R ratios were increased with increased BA concentration. The ratios of nearly all the selling products ranged from 1 to 2 ppm when compared to them from our experiment.

To develop the highly sensitive TLD radiation sensors, $BaSO_{4}$ : Eu-PTFE TLDs are fabricated by polymerizing the PTFE(polytetrafluoroethylene) with $BaSO_{4}$ : Eu TL phosphors. The $BaSO_{4}$ : Eu TL phosphors having the highest sensitivity of $X/{\gamma}$-rays are obtained by sintering at $1000^{\circ}C$ in $N_{2}$ atmosphere a mixture of $BaSO_{4}$ powder with 1mol% Eu($Eu_{2}O_{3}$), 6mol% $NH_{4}Cl$ and 5mol% $(NH_{4})_{2}SO_{4}$ which were co-precipitated in dilute sulfuric acid and then dried. The activation energy, frequency factor and kinetic order of $BaSO_{4}$ : Eu TL phosphor are 1.17eV, $3.6{\times}10^{11}/sec$ and 1.25, respectively. And the spectral peak of $BaSO_{4}$ : Eu is about 425nm. The optimum TL Phosphor content and thickness of the $BaSO_{4}$ : Eu-PTFE TLD are 40wt% and $105.7mg/cm^{2}$. The optimum polymerization temperature and time for fabrication of $BaSO_{4}$ : Eu-PTFE TLDs are $380^{\circ}C$ and 2 hours in air, respectively. The linear dose range to ${\gamma}$ rays is 0.01-20Gy and fading rate is about 10%/60hours.

The role of the strain energy and phase stability in the diffuse phase transition have been investigated in the highly disordered solid solution, (Pb1-xBax)(Zr0.4Ti0.6)O3 (0.2 x 0.4). X-ray diffraction analysis indicates that tetragonality (c/a) decreases with the increasing Ba content. Also as the Ba content increases, phase transition becomes more diffuse and at the same time dielectric relaxation as a function of measured frequencies in the 1KHz-10MHz range occurs very pronouncedly. In the Ba content range, 0.2 x 0.35, hysteresis loops are routinely observed and the loop is observed to narrow shape as the Ba content increases but becomes very slim at 40mol% Ba content. Moreover thermal analysis shows that there is no abrupt change in the thermal expansion coefficient below the apparent transition temperature at which dielectric constant becomes maximum. From the above results, it has been concluded that creation of the strain energy due to the distorthion that occurred during the phase transition suppresses diffuse phase transition.
