  • Testicular development of the male African lungfish, Protopterus annectens (Owen) was investigated histologically. The testis was found to be an elongated structure that possessed two distinct portions: an anterior spermatogenic part that was made up of a system of testicular tubules and a posterior vesicular part that invaded the kidney tissue. Spermatogenesis can be divided into five stages; primary spermatogonia, secondary spermatogonia, spermatocyte, spermatids and spermatozoa. Based on the gonadosomatic index (GSI) and histological changes observed, the reproductive cycle can be divided onto four distinct stages: resting and quiescent (December to February), growing (March to June) ripe and spent (July to August) and postspawning (September to November). The GSI was the maximum on July when reproductive cells were mature, ripe and ready for spawning; and the minimum in August after fish spawned.

  • The early ontogeny of the vascular cambium in the hypocotyl of Eucommia ulmoides seedling was studied anatomically. In transverse view, the procambial cells repeated periclinal divisions and then gradually differentiated into vascular cambium; however, in the transectional plane, it was difficult to reveal the origin of cambial initials. In tangential view, the early procambial cells repeated periclinal divisions and then the procambium consisted of homogeneous short cells. Some cells in late procambium did not show transverse divisions, but elongated continuously. Thus, the procambium showed a heterogeneous structure: The long cells became fusiform initials with tapering end walls and the short cells differentiated into ray initials. Conclusively, the two types of cambial initials were gradually originated from the homogeneous cells at the early procambial stage, and they consisted vascular cambium.

  • The complexes [Ni(L)(INT)2]${\cdot}$5H2O (1) and [Cu(L)(H2O)](Cl)(INT)${\cdot}$3H2O (2) (L = 3,14-dimethyl-2,6,13,17-tetraazatricyclo[14,4,01.18 ,07.12 ]docosane, INT = isonicotinate) have been prepared and characterized by X-ray crystallography, electronic absorption, and cyclic voltammetry. The crystal structure of 1 reveals an axially elongated octahedral geometry with two axial isonicotinate ligands. The electronic spectra, magnetic moment, and redox potentials of 1 also show a high-spin octahedral geometry. However, 2 shows that the coordination environment around the copper atom is a distorted square-pyramid with an axial water molecule. The spectra and electrochemical behaviors of 2 are also discussed.

  • Silicon, carbon, and B4C powders were used as raw materials for the fabrication of porous SiC. ${\beta}$-SiC was synthesized at $1500^{\circ}C$ in an Ar atmosphere from a silicon and carbon mixture. The synthesized powders were pressed into disk shapes and then heated at $2100^{\circ}C$. ${\beta}$-SiC particles transformed to ${\alpha}$-SiC at over $1900^{\circ}C$, and rapid grain growth of ${\alpha}$-SiC subsequently occurred and a porous structure with elongated plate-type grains was formed. The mechanism of this rapid grain growth is thought to be an evaporation-condensation reaction. The mechanical properties of the fabricated porous SiC were investigated and discussed.

  • This paper describes the effect of elongation on electrical properties and molecular structrue of high density polyethylene. Thin polyethylene films films obtained dy roll elongation after extruded at 220$^{\circ}C$ and elongated to draw rations of 16. Crystallinity of polyethylene films was measured by X-Ray diffraction and electrical properties were estimated by conductivity and TSC(Thermal Simulated Current). It was foung that the crystallinity increases and the electrical conductivity decreases as the elongation increases. The elongation dependence of electrical conductivity may be explained by the trap density. Thus, the control of polymer structure and crystallinity makes its properties better and can be applicated in order to get more active properties.

  • Haploid cell obta-ined from microspores of Solanum nigrum were cultured on two kinds of medium, "Callus-inducing medium" and "Differentiation medium", in order to conduct histological studies of callus and examine differentiation of plantlets. On the callus-inducing medium the calli grew rapidly. The bulk of callus mass was light brown colored "Wet callus" covered on the surface with thin layers of rough and gleaming "White callus". The wet callus was consisted of parenchyma and meristematic tissues, while the white callus had no meristematic tissues. Large parenchyma cells, by successive divisions, became multicellular or poly nucleate cells which developed later to be meristematic tissues. The calli embedded on the differentiation medium quickly turned to dark brown color. Plantlets, however, came out later from these blackened callus mass. In the callus sectioned about ten weeks after imbedding on the differentiation medium, radially elongated tissue, concentric tissue, epidermis, tracheid-like structure, and plant jprimordia were observed.ure, and plant jprimordia were observed.

  • Using IPHAS $H{\alpha}$ data, we found bright $H{\alpha}$ regions inside the elongated $^{13}CO$ cavity around a Herbig star, MWC 1080. To investigate the ionized hydrogen regions and the molecular cavity, we perform near-IR high-resolution spectroscopic of hydrogen Brackett lines and molecular hydrogen lines by Immersion GRating INfrared Spectrograph (IGRINS) observations. We detected broad Brackett line series and sharp molecular lines with various velocity components. We present three ionized hydrogen regions (near MWC 1080A, MWC 1080E, and CO boundary) with different line widths, central radial velocities, and line ratios. We also show two spatially-separate $Br{\gamma}$ ${\lambda}2.1662{\mu}m$ peaks near MWC 1080A. To reveal a 3D structure of the cavity around MWC 1080, we try to use the detected sharp molecular lines.

  • The refinement of microstructure and phase transformation near the interface of pure copper/carbon steel dissimilar metals joints with various friction welding parameters have been studied in this paper. The microstructure of copper and carbon steel joints were changed to be a finer grain compared to those of the base metals due to the frictional heat and plastic deformation. The microstructure of copper side experienced wide range of deformed region from the weld interface and divided into very fine equaxied grains and elongated grains. Especially, the microstructures near the interface on carbon steel were transformed from ferrite and pearlite dual structure to fine ferrite, grain boundary pearlite and martensite due to the welding thermal cycle and rapid cooling rate after welding. These microstructures were varied with each friction welding parameters. The recrystallization on copper side is reason for softening in copper side and martensite transformation could explain the remarkable hardening region in carbon steel side.

  • In case of this thick rolling-steel for a multistory building, a large oil-drilling structure, a large vessel, a bridge and so on, Lamella Tearing around the welded joint zone is the most serious problems. In order to prevent Lamella Tearing, not only is choice of material important, but also the comprehensive investigation for the structural design and the construction. The Lamella Tearing that is a staircase-shape occurs due to the contraction stress to the thickness direction of the plate and has the character that the cracks progress along the elongated inclusion by rolling. In general, because cracks occur at the heat affected zone and around HAZ, it is necessary to establish the safety and the confidence of the welded structure to restrain the welding defect such as Lamella Tearing. The mechanical approaches are the easier and more economical than the approaches of the material and the construction method. In addition, the appropriate welding profile and the optimum welding condition contribute toward the improvement of the productivity and influence on the standardization of the manufacturing technology.
