The I-V characteristics of $ZnO-Pr_6O_{11}-CoO-Dy_2O_3$ based varistors were investigated in the $Pr_6O_{11}/CoO$ composition ratio range of 0.5/0.5 to 1.0/1.0 and sintering temperature range of 1300 to $1350^{\circ}C$ as the basic study to develop the advanced $Pr_6O_{11}$-based ZnO varistors. All varistors except for $Pr_6O_{11}$/CoO = 0.5/1.0 exhibited the best I-V characteristics at $1350^{\circ}C$. However, the varistors with $Pr_6O_{11}$/CoO= 0.5/1.0 exhibited the best I-V characteristics at $1350^{\circ}C$. The varistors with $Pr_6O_{11}$/CoO= 0.5/1.0 of all varistors exhibited the best I-V characteristics, which the nonlinear exponent is 36.9 and the leakage current is 7.6 ${\mu}A$ Therefore, it was estimated that ZnO-$Pr_6O_{11}-CoO-Dy_2O_3$ ceramics with $Pr_6O_{11}$/CoO= 0.5/1.0 will be usefully used as varistor materials in the future.

This paper presents a time-based Pitch Determination Algorithm (PDA) for the reliable estimation of Pitch Period (PP) in speech signals. Based on the Dyadic Wavelet Transform (DyWT) , the proposed PDA detects the presence of Glottal Closure Instants (GCI) and uses the information to determine the pitch period. We also examine the problem of conventional PDAs based on DyWT; their performance is compared with the proposition of this paper. The effectiveness of the proposed method is tested with real speech signals containing a transition between the voiced and the unvoiced interval where the energy of the voiced signal is unsteady. The result shows that the proposed method provides good performance in estimating both the unsteady GCI positions as well as the steady parts.

Nonstoichiometric solid solutions of the $Sr_{1+x}Dy_{1-x}FeO_{4-y}$ system (x = 0. 00, 0. 25, 0. 50, 0. 75 and 1. 00) with layered $K-2NiF_4$ type structure were prepared at 1200$^{\circ}$C under atmospheric pressure. X-ray powder diffraction spectra show that the crystallographic phases of the samples are tetragonal within the x range. Nonstoichiometric chemical formulas have been determined by Mohr salt analysis and it shows that the amount of $Fe^{4+}$ ion or ${\tau}$ value increases with increasing x. Electrical conductivities of the samples which were measured in the temperature range of $-100{\sim}200^{\circ}$C under atmospheric air pressure are varied within the semiconductivity range of $l0^{-8}{\sim}10^{-2}(ohm^{-1}{\cdot}cm^{-1}$) and the activation energies are also varied from 0.02 to 0.08 eV. Mixed valency state of $Fe^{3+}$ and $Fe^{4+}$ in the sample of $Sr_{1.00}Dy_{1.00}FeO_{4.04}$ was identified again by Mossbauer spectrum at 200K.

To make new filler for conducting rubber, the sample of perovskite-related ferrite system $Dy_{2-x}Sr_{1+x}Fe_2O_{7-y}$ (x=0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0) were synthesized at 1473K in air. $M{\ddot{o}}ssbauer$ spetrum of x=0.0 sample shows typical six line pattern with $M{\ddot{o}}ssbauer$ parameters, $I.S=3.6{\times}10^{-1}mm/sec,\;E_Q=-7.0{\times}10^{-2}mm/sec,\;H_{int}=5.19{\times}10^2\;Koe$. In case of x=2.0, the spectrum is composed of single line exhibiting coexistance of $Fe^{3+}(I.S.=3.7{\times}10^{-1}mm/sec)$ ions and $Fe^{4+}(I.S.=-1.9{\times}10^{-1}mm/sec)$ ions. With increase in x value electrical conductivity at constant temperature sharply increased and the activation energies decreased from $3.8{\times}10^{-1}\;to\;1.9{\times}10^{-1}\;eV$.

Solid solutions of the nonstoichiometric Dy1-xSrxCoO3-y system with the compositions of x=0.00, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, and 1.00 have been synthesized by the solid state reaction at 1000 ℃ under atmospheric air pressure. The crystallographic structures of the solid solutions are analyzed by the powder X-ray diffraction patterns at room temperature. The analyses assign the compositions of x=0.00 and 0.25 to the orthorhombic system with space group of Pbnm/D2h16, the compositions of x=0.50 and 0.75 to the tetragonal system like a typical SrCoO2.86, and the composition of x=l.00 or SrCoO2.50 to the brownmillerite type system with space group of I**a. The reduced lattice volumes increase with x value due to the larger radius of Sr2+ ion than that of Dy3+ ion. The mole ratio of Co4+ ion to total Co ion with mixed valence state between Co3+ and Co4+ ions at B sites or τ value has been determined by an iodometric titration. All the samples except for the DyCoO3 compound show the mixed valnce state and thus the composition of x=0.50 has the maximum τ value in the system. The oxygen vacancies increasing with x value are randomly distributed over the crystal lattice except for the composition of x=l.00 which have the ordering of the oxygen vacancies. The nonstoichiometric chemical formulas of the Dy1-xSrxCo3+1-τCo4+τO3-(x-τ)/2 system are formulated from the x, τ, and y values. The electrical conductivity in the temperature range of 100 to 900 K increases with τ value linearly because of positive holes of the Co4+ ions in π* band as a conducting carrier. The activation energy of the x=0.50 as Ea=0.17 eV is minimum among other compouds. Broad and high order transition due to the overlap between σ* and π* bands broadened by the thermal activation is observed near 1000 K and shows a low temperature-semiconducting behavior. Magnetic properties following the Currie-Weiss law show the low to high spin transition in the cobaltate perovskite. Especially, the composition of x=0.75 presents weak ferromagnetic behavior due to the Co3+-O2--Co4+ indirect superexchange interaction.

DC accelerating aging characteristics of praseodymium-based ZnO varistors doped with $Dy_2O_3$ were investigated with sintering time. The varistor sintered for 1h exhibited the highest nonlinearity, with a nonlinear exponent of 66.61 and a leakage current of $1.16{\mu}A$, whereas they did not exhibit relatively high stability. The varistor sintered for 2h having nonlinear exponent of 54.81 and leakage current of $2.52{\mu}A$ showed very excellent stability, which the variation rates of varistor voltage, nonlinear exponent, and leakage current are -1.19%, -4.00%, and +75.79% for 2h, under DC accelerated aging stress, such as ($0.85\;V_{1mA}/115^{\circ}C$/24h)+($0.90\;V_{1mA}/120^{\circ}C$/24h)+($0.95\;V_{1mA}/125^{\circ}C$/24h)+($0.95\;V_{1mA}/150^{\circ}C$/24h).

The ion exchange resins have been synthesized from chlormethyl styrene-1,4-divinylbenzene(DVB) with 1%, 2%, and 20%-crosslinking and macrocyclic ligand of cryptand 21 by copolymerization method and the adsorption characteristics of uranium(VI), copper(II) and dysprosium(III) metallic ions have been investigated in various experimental conditions. The synthesis of these resins was confirmed by content of chlorine, element analysis, and IR-spectrum. The effects of pH, equilibrium time, dielectric constant of solvent and crosslink on adsorption of metallic ions were investigated. The metal ion was showed fast adsorption on the resins above pH 3. The optimum equilibrium time for adsorption of metallic ions was about two hours. The adsorption selectivity determined in ethanol was in increasing order uranium$(UO^{2+}_2)\;>\;copper(Cu^{2+})\;>\;dysprosium(Dy^{3+})$ ion. The adsorption was in order of 1%, 2%, and 20% crosslink resin and adsorption of resin decreased in proportion to order of dielectric constant of solvents.

We studied effects by Re$_2$O$_3$(R=Dy, Gd, Ho) addition on the properties of Mn-Zn ferrite. The doping concentration range from 0.05 wt% to 0.25 wt%. All samples were prepared by standard fabrication of ceramics. With increasing the rare earth oxides, specific density and initial permeability increased on the whole. But, the tendencies such as upper result had the measured value on limitation and characteristics saturated or decreased properties after that. In case of excessive addition of additive beyond some level, initial permeability properties of ferrite have gone down in spite of anomalous grain. With increasing the content of additive, both the real and imaginary component of complex permeability and the magnetic loss (tan$\delta$) increased. Because the increased rate of real component had higher than imaginary component, magnetic loss increased none the less for increasing the real component related with magnetic permeability. But, the magnetic loss of ferrite doped with the rare earth oxides was lower than that of Mn-Zn ferrite at any rate. The small amount of present rare earth oxides in Mn-Zn ferrite composition led to enhancement of resistivity in bulk, and more so in the grain boundary. It was seem to be due to the formation of mutual reaction such as between iron ions and rare earth element ions.
