[ $ZnCr_2O_4$ ]를 모물질로 하고 MgO, $TiO_2$를 몰비로 2:1, 4:1, 6:1, 및 8:1이 되게 정량적으로 조합한 후, 조사하였다. $ZnCr_2O_4$-MgO와 $ZnCr_2O_4-TiO_2$를 X-선 분석한 결과 Spinel 결정구조를 형성하였으며, 또한 SEM과 EDX 분석결과 각각 $Li_2CrO_4$와 $Li_3VO_4$의 형성으로 인하여 저항 특성이 나타나는 것을 알 수 있었다. $ZnCr_2O_4-MgO$, $ZnCr_2O_4-TiO_2$에서 MgO의 양이 증가할수록 저항값은 약간 감소하는 반면, $TiO_2$의 양이 증가할수록 저항값이 급격히 증가하는 특성을 나타내었고, 감습 특성에서도 M??보다 TiO2가 더 높게 나타내었다. 습에 따른 복원 특성의 경우 $700^{\circ}C$에서 소결한 ($ZnCr_2O_4:MgO=4:1$)과 ($ZnCr_2O_4:TiO_2=6:1$) 조성의 센서가 가장 양호하였다.

The valorization of swine manure samples, i.e., de-watered cake (SMc) and solid digestate (SMd), in products with beneficial value, i.e., low cost activated carbons (ACs), is studied. For this purpose slow pyrolysis and steam activation at three different duration times are applied. Additionally, the obtained ACs are characterized and tested towards removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous solutions. It is revealed that BET surface area varies in the range of $236-267m^2/g$ for ACs prepared from SMc sample and in the range of $411-432m^2/g$ for ACs prepared from SMd sample. Despite the low determined surface area of prepared ACs, a high total Cr removal capacity is observed occurring through a "coupled adsorption-reduction" mechanism. Higher Cr(VI) removal capacity is demonstrated for ACs having higher surface area ($q_m$ is 140.9 mg/g according Langmuir modelling). Cr(VI) removal is found to be pH dependent with a maximum at pH 1. However at that pH significant amounts of Cr remain in the solution as Cr(III). At pH 2 lower amount of Cr(VI) is removed compensated by a higher removal of Cr(III) resulting in a higher amount of adsorbed $Cr_{tot}$. Therefore adsorption at pH 2 is found to be appropriate. The removal capacity of the studied ACs towards Cr(VI) is almost independent of activation time.

The present research was performed to determine the optimal firing condition and holding time for malayaite crystal, which is responsible for the stable pink-red coloration in glaze at high temperatures, using Cr$Cl_3$ as chromophore for the synthesis of $Cr_2O_3-SnO_2-CaO-SiO_2$ system pigments. The malayaite crystal was influenced by the raw materials used for synthesis, firing temperature, and holding time. Thus there are differences in the crystal phase and in the coloration according to the condition of synthesis. When Cr$Cl_3$ was used as chromophore, the pigment could be synthesized at lower temperatures, because Cr$Cl_3$ melts at $1500{^{\circ}C}$, which is much lower than the temperature at which $Cr_2O_3$ melts (higher than $2435{^{\circ}C}$). And the employed Cr ion showed a change in oxidation state. When a mineralizer was used to improve the employment of malayaite and the Cr ion, and the low temperature was maintained at which the malayaite crystal is produced, the production of malayaite crystal was promoted and the employment of chromophore was also promoted in the oxidation state of Cr (IV). The results of the experiment showed that the optimal firing condition was 18 h of holding time at $800{^{\circ}C}$, using Cr$Cl_3$ as chromophore, followed by 2 h at the raised temperature of $1150{^{\circ}C}$. The change in coloration of the Cr (IV) employed by malayaite showed a very rich color of red. Thus it was possible to effectively synthesize sphene-pink pigments with more red tint at a low temperature.

This paper describes the results of the application of Cr-Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films for efficiency improvement through surface modification of spur gear parts in the hydraulic gear pump. Cr-DLC films were successfully deposited on SCM 415 substrates by a hybrid coating process using linear ion source (LIS) and magnetron sputtering method. The characteristics of the films were systematically investigated using FE-SEM, nano-indentation, sliding tester and AFM instrument. The microstructure of Cr-DLC films turned into the dense and fine grains with relatively preferred orientation. The thickness formed in our Cr buffer layer and DLC coating layer were obtained the 487 nm and $1.14\;{\mu}m$. The average friction coefficient of Cr-DLC films considerably decreased to 0.15 for 0.50 of uncoated SCM415 material. The hardness and surface roughness of Cr-DLC films were measured 20 GPa and 10.76 nm, respectively. And then, efficiency tests were performed on the hydraulic gear pump to investigate the efficiency performance of the Cr-DLC coated spur gear. The experimental results show that the volumetric and mechanical efficiency of hydraulic gear pump using the Cr-DLC spur gear were improved up to 2~5% and better efficiency improvement could be attributed to its excellent microstructure, higher hardness, and lower friction coefficient. This conclusion proves the feasibility in the efficiency improvement of hydraulic gear pump for industrial applications.

The AISI 216L stainless steel with a composition of Fe-16Cr-6Ni-6Mn-1.7Mo (wt.%) was oxidized at $700{\sim}900^{\circ}C$ in air for 100 h. At $700^{\circ}C$, a thin $Mn_{1.5}Cr_{1.5}O_4$ oxide layer with a thickness of $0.4{\mu}m$ formed. At $800^{\circ}C$, an outer thin $Fe_2O_3$ oxide layer and a thick inner $FeCr_2O_4$ oxide layer with a total thickness of $30{\mu}m$ formed. The non-adherent scale formed at $800^{\circ}C$ was susceptible to cracking. At $900^{\circ}C$, an outer thin $Fe_2O_3$ oxide layer and a thick inner $Mn_{1.5}Cr_{1.5}O_4$ oxide layer formed, whose total thickness was $10{\sim}15{\mu}m$. The scales formed at $900^{\circ}C$ were non-adherent and susceptible to cracking. 216 L stainless steel oxidized faster than 316 L stainless steel, owing to the increment of the Mn content and the decrement of Ni content.

CR 2945, a $gastrin/CCK_B$ receptor antagonist, was conjugated to liposome and tested for the targeting of pancreatic cancer cells in vitro. Successful conjugation was confirmed by FTIR and NMR. The size of CR 2945-conjugated liposome was about 500 nm in diameter, with the zeta-potential being -16.5 mV. In vitro anti-cancer activity of this formulation with or without gemcitabine encapsulated was tested on human pancreatic cancer cells, PANC-1. The growth inhibitory effect of gemcitabine-encapsulating CR 2945-conjugated liposome was found to be 10-fold more potent than that of gemcitabine-encapsulating non-conjugated liposome, suggesting that CR 2945 could be used as a potential cancer targeting moiety by conjugating into liposome.

Evolution of microstructure due to service exposure to high temperature has a strong effect performance of heat resistant steels. In case of modified 9Cr-1Mo steels, precipitation of $Fe_2Mo$-type laves phases and coarcening of $M_23C_6$-type carbides is the primary cause of degradation of mechanical properties such as creep resistance, tensile strength and toughness. Creep tests have been carried out on pre-aging mod. 9Cr-1Mo steels to examine the effect of pre-aging and stress on the creep strength. Based on the results, a nondestructive procedure, where electrochemical technique that quantitatively detect laves phases and $M_23C_6$-type carbides in a material is used, has been proposed to evaluate a residual creep life of mod. 9Cr-1Mo steels.

Purpose: To assess the ability of in vivo H-1 MRS to determine the degree of malignancy and to characterize the histopathologic type of intracranial solid tumors. Materials and Methods: In vivo H-1 MR spectra of the pathologically-proven 81 intracranial soild tumors (low-grade glioma 17 cases, high-grade glioma 31 cases, lymphoma 9 cases, meningioma 8 cases, central neurocytoma 4 cases, medulloblastoma 3 cases, PNET 3 cases, metastasis 2 cases, others 4 cases) were analyzed. H-1 MR spectroscopy was performed on a 1.5T MR unit using PRESS sequence with a TR of 2000ms, a TE of 270 or 135ms and a voxel size of $2{\times}2{\times}2cm^3$ for all spectra. N-acetyl aspartate (NAA)/Creatine complex(Cr), Choline complex (Cho)/Cr, and lactate (Lac)/Cr ratios were measured on the peak heights of each resonance and compared among the different tumors. Results: All intracranial solid tumors demonstrated decreased NAA, elevated Cho and lactate, and variable Cr levels. All tumors showed increased Cho/Cr and Lac/Cr, whereas NAA/Cr level was decreased. Mean Cho/Cr and Lac/Cr ratios were significantly higher in high-grade gliomas than in low-grade gliomas. However, NAA/Cr ratio showed no significant difference between low-grade and high-grade gliomas. Very high Cho peaks were seen in lymphomas, meningiomas, medulloblastomas, and neurocytomas in addition to high-grade gliomas. Conclusion: H-1 MRS may be useful in differentiating between low-grade and high-grade gliomas, however cannot characterize the histologic types or subtypes of tumors.

$Mn_1-xCr_xPt_3$ alloy films have been prepared by depositing (Mn, Cr)/Pt multilayers using a rf magnetron sputterer followed by heat treatment. Small and wide angle x-ray diffractometry, magnetic hysteresis loops and Kerr rotation angle spectra of the films have been measured and used to investigate structural, magnetic and magneto-optic properties of the films. The films had a crystal structure of ordered AuCu$_3$ type and the strong preferred orientation of a (111)plane parallel to the film surface. The saturation magnetization of the films was decreased with Cr content reaching almost zero near x=0.58 and then increased for further increasement of Cr content up to x=0.77 over that stayed almost constant. This indicated that Cr atoms were antiferromagnetically coupled with Mn atoms. The magnetic easy axis of MnPt$_3$(x=0) film was parallel to the film surface but those of the films with x$\geq$0.58 increased as Cr content increased reaching about 4 kOe at x=1(CrPt$_3$). The dependence of the Kerr rotation angle on the Cr content was similar to that of the saturation magnetization on the Cr content. The films with x=0.77 and x=1 showed the larger Kerr rotation angle at the wavelengths of near infrared compared to the magneto-optic recording medium, TbFeCo, currently being used.
