Effects of $La_2O_3$, $MnO_2$ on the dielectric and piezoelectric properties of $0.02Pb(Y_{2/3}W_{1/3}O_3-0.98Pb(Zr_{0.52}Ti_{0.48})O_3$ system were investigated. The addition of La2O3 to the system enhanced electromechanical coupling factor (kp), piezoelectric constant (d33), but hardly changed mechanical quality factor (Qm). On the other hand, the addition of $MnO_2$ increased Qm significantly, but did not degrade kp and d33 so much. The piezoelectric properties of $0.02Pb(Y_{2/3}W_{1/3}O_3-0.98Pb(Zr_{0.52}Ti_{0.48})O_3$ containing 0.1wt% $La_2O_3$, 0.4wt% $MnO_2$ were very good and kp, d33, Qm were 55%, 350$\times$10-12C/N, 780, respectively. The size of the grains was proportional to the change of c/a (tetragonality) ratio caused by the addition of $La_2O_3$ and $MnO_2$, and dielectric, piezoelectric properties were sensitive to the amountof pyrochrole phase.

$({Ba}_{1-x}La_x)TiO_3,\;x=0{\sim}0.005$ specimens were fabricated by solid stste reaction method, and their PTC characteristics were examined. The gain growth is inhibited by La substitution, and it is confirmed that the specimens are crystallized at $900^{\circ}C$ from DTA analysis. The 0.003mol La substituded specimens show lowest resistivity and best PTC effects. Furthermore, the electrode sintered-specimens exhibite better PTC effects than no sintered-specimens.

Highly c-axis oriented ferroelectric PbTiO3 thin films were deposited on MgO single crystal substrates by RF magnetron sputtering. We have studied the effects of substrate temperature, RF input power, gas comosition, gas pressure and deposition rate on the chemical and structural characteristics of PbTiO3 thin films. The epitaxy relationship of c-axis oriented films was found to be PbTiO3{100}//MgO(100) and their microstructures were highly mosaic. It was found that the most important parameter to achieve epitaxial PbTiO3 films was the substrate temperature. The activation energy for the epitaxy formation was about 0.92eV. Lower gas pressure and RF input power were favorable for the formation of epitaxial c-axis orientation. It was also found that the optimum oxygen content in Ar gas was 10% to obtain the stoichiometric PbTiO3 composition.

The effects of ginseng saponin on the transport of 3-O-methylglucose (=3-O-MG) in an isolated rat intestine were studied by using modified Wiseman's circulating unit. Gineseng saponin inhibited significantly the intestinal absorption of 3-O-MG when it was circulated together with ginseng saponin through the isolated intestine. Ginseng saponin was given to rats intraperitoneally and orally, and the intestine isolated from the rats after one and four hours was used for the study of glucose absorption. When buffer solution containing 3-O-MG was circulated through the isolated intestine isolated after one hour, whereas the absorption was increased in the intestine after four hours. The results indicate that intestinal absorption of 3-O-MG was inhibited when the saponin is contained in the same circulation medium. However, the inhibition of absorption was not significant in the intestine of rats which were previously exposed to the saponin orally or intraperitoneally.

The effects of variation in composition and the addition of small amount of the rare-earth oxides La2O3, CeO2 and Sm2O3 on the magnetic properties of Mn-Zn system ferrites, 0.5MnO.0.5ZnO.(1＋0.1X) Fe2O3(X=-1, 0, 1, 2), were investigated in the range of frequencies of 0.1~100 kHz. It was shown that the magnetic permeability of the specimens with the composition Mn 0.5 Zn 0.5 Fe2O4 was maximum in the Mn-Zn system ferrites, and that the addition of a small amount of the rare-earth oxides to the composition 0.5 MnO.0.5ZnO.0.9 Fe2O3 caused the sharp increase of magnetic permeability and the decrease of the loss factors.

The effects of Al2O3 and Cr2O3 addition on the mechanical properties and microstructures of Y-TZP ceramics obtained by co-precipitation method of ZrO2＋3m/o Y2O3, following pressureless sintering at 150$0^{\circ}C$ for 2h were investigated. The addition of Al2O3 and Cr2O3 improved the Y-TZP sinterability and the Al2O3 addition showed the better effect on Y-TZP sintering than that of the Cr2O3 addition. The density and microstructure had the better effect on the bending strength of specimen more than stressinduced phase transformation (SIPT) of ZrO2 from tetragonal to monoclinic phase. The hardness of the specimens was found to be depend on the relative density and the fracture toughness of Y-TZP was found to rely on the amount of SIPT. The grian size of Cr2O3-doped Y-TZP was observed to be relatively smaller and had a narrower distribution than that of Al2O3-doped Y-TZP. If decomposition reaction of Cr2O3 can be controlled at high temperatures, it is anticipated that the mechanical properties of Y-TZP can be much improved by the Cr2O3 addition.

Nanomaterials have been widely used in many fields. This study investigates the effects of metal oxide nanoparticles (CuO, NiO, $TiO_2$, $Fe_2O_3$, $Co_3O_4$, ZnO) on germination and germination index (G.I.) of seeds, Lactuca and Raphanus. Under aqueous exposure, CuO on Lactuca shows the most significant impacts on activities compared to others, showing $EC_{50s}$ for germination and G.I. as 0.46 mg/L and 0.37%, respectively. The effects of nanoparticle phytotoxicity on seed Lactuca was much higher than that of Raphanus. In general, the toxicities on seed germination and germination index were as following orders : CuO > ZnO > NiO ${\gg}$ $TiO_2$, $Fe_2O_3$, $Co_3O_4$. No measurable inhibition was observed at 1,000 mg/L (maximum exposure concentration) of $TiO_2$, $Fe_2O_3$, $Co_3O_4$.

In this paper, Pb(Z $r_{0.53}$ $Ti_{0.47}$) $O_3$+x[wt%]C $r_2$ $O_3$ ceramics were fabricated, and thermal aging effects on the specimen were investigated. After thermal aging, the temperature coefficients of their resonant frequence became stable and only the specimen with C $r_2$ $O_3$ additives in them could have lower temperature coefficientient

Effects of $Er_2O_3$ addition on the dielectric properties of non-reducible $BaTi_3$-based X7R dielectrics with Ni electrode have been studied in reducing atmosphere. X7R with moderate temperature-dependence was developed after addition of $Er_2O_3$ with $MnO_2-MgO$; room-temperature dielectric constant and dissipation factor were >2900 and < 1.0%, respectively. The addition of $Er_2O_3$ greater than 3.0 mol% improved the temperature dependence of dielectric properties, but a significant decrease of the dielectric constant at room-temperature was observed. The TCC curves rebated clockwise with increasing MnO$_2$ content at a given additive system, 1.5 mol% $Er_2O_3$ and 2.0 mol% MgO.

The effects of oxygen annealing on the carbon content in MgO thin films were investigated, MgO thin films were deposited on Si(100) substrate at different temperatures of 400 to $700^{\circ}C$ and different deposition rates of 3.4 to 11.6$\AA$/min. Using rf magnetron sputtering method. Carbon content change on the surface of MgO thin films with the oxygen annealing at different temperatures was investigated using various method. The carbon content decreased as the annealing temperature increased. $Pb(Zr_{0.53}Ti_{0.47})O_3$(PZT) thin films were deposited on the MgO/Si(100) substrates. The effects of carbon content on the phase formation and the electrical properties of PZT thin films were also investigated.
