An open loop vibrational control for an underactuated mechanical system with amplitude and frequently modulation is investigated. Since there is no direct external input to an unactuated joint, the dynamic coupling between the actuated and unactuated joints is utilized for controlling the unactuated joint. Feedback linearization has been performed to incorporate fully the known nonlinearities of the underactuated system considered. The actuated joints are firstly positioned to their desired locations, and the periodic oscillatory inputs are applied to the actuated joints to move the remaining unactuated joints to their target positions. The amplitudes and frequencies of the vibrations introduced are determined through averaging analysis. A systematic way of obtaining an averaged system for the underactuated system via a coordinate transformation is developed. A control design example of 2R planer manipulator with a free joint with no brake is provided.

A hysteresis loop tracer using a pulsed high magnetic field of 113.4 kOe, which is suitable for rare earth based permanent magnets, is constructed. The high pulsed magnetic field is generated by discharging a large capacitance charge (5 mF) with a voltage of 600 V into an air solenoid with the inner diameter of 14 mm, outer diameter of 36 mm and the lingth of 34 mm. A computer simulation method is used for the construction of an electromagnet to optimize the many parameters such as the discharge current, generated pulsed magnetic field intensity, thermal dissipation, capacitance, charged voltage, period of damping oscillation and solenoid geometry. By using the hysteresis loop tracer constructed in this work, we are able to measure hystersis loops of several rare earth based permanent magnets with large values of the remanent magnetization, coercvity and energy product.

Optimal control gain for time-delay systems is made by an optimal control gain for delay-free systems multiplied by a state transition function for the delay time. The optimal control gain for delay-free systems is obtained by pushing two zeros of the PID controller closely to a larger pole of the second order plant. Thus the optimal tuning of PID controller for time-delay second order system is able to be obtained by calculation for the state transition function.

To verify which loop regions of 18S rRNA gene are suitable as species-specific genetic markers in ciliates, we analyzed the genetic variation of 18S rRNA gene among 9 Euplotes species (Hypotrichia : Ciliophora). In our result, no inter-specific variation was detected from V1, V3 and V5 regions, and the length of V7 and V8 are 44 bp and 79 bp, respectively, which are too short to make genetic marker. In contrast, V2 and V4 may be good candidate segments of species-specific diagnostic molecular markers because these two regions are most variable ($1.75{\sim}20.61%$) and showed good inter-specific phylogeny. Furthermore, the sequences of V2 and V4 are 123 bp and 306 bp, respectively in length which are enough to make species-specific marker.

The evaporation pressure drop of $CO_2$ (R-744) in horizontal tubes was investigated experimentally. The experiments were conducted without oil in a closed refrigerant loop which was driven by a magnetic gear pump. The main components of the refrigerant loop are a receiver, a variable-speed pump, a mass flow meter, a pre-heater and evaporator (test section). The test section consists of a smooth, horizontal stainless steel tube of 7.75 and 4.57 mm inner diameter. The experiments were conducted at saturation temperature of $-5^{\circ}C\;to\;5^{\circ}C$, and heat flux of 10 to $40kW/m^2$. The test results showed the evaporation pressure drop of $CO_2$ are highly dependent on the vapor quality, heat flux and saturation temperature. The pressure drop measured during the evaporation process of $CO_2$ increases with increased mass flux, and decreases as the saturation temperature increased. The evaporation pressure drop of $CO_2$ is very lower than that of R-22. In comparison with test results and existing correlations, the best fit of the present experimental data is obtained with the correlation of Choi et al. But existing correlations failed to predict the evaporation pressure drop of $CO_2$. Therefore, it is necessary to develop reliable and accurate predictions determining the evaporation pressure drop of $CO_2$ in a horizontal tube.

Condensing heat transfer coefficients of R-22 and R-134a were measured in smooth, horizontal copper tubes with inner diameters of 1.77mm, 3.36mm, and 5.35mm, respectively. The experiments were conducted in the closed loop, which was driven by a magnetic gear pump. Data are presented for the following range of variables : mass velocity from 200 to 500kg/$m^2$.s and quality from 0 to 1.0. The heat transfer coefficients in the small diameter tubes (ID < 7mm) were observed to be strongly affected by various diameters and the heat transfer characteristics in the small diameter tubes differed from those in the large diameter tubes. Heat transfer coefficients in the small diameter tubes are higher than those in the large diameter tubes at the same experimental condition. It was found that some well-known previous correlations(Shahs correlation and Cavallini-Zecchins correlation) were not suitable for small diameter tubes.

Pt/SBT/Pt capacitors were fabricated using the MOD-derived $SrBi_{2x}Ta_2O_9$ (SBT) films and their ferroelectic and leakage current characteristics were investigated with post annealing at 400~$800^{\circ}C$. Although the MOD-derived SBT film exhibited the hysteresis loop typical for the leaky film, the well-saturated ferroelectric hysteresis loop could be obtained by post annealing the Pt/SBT/Pt capacitors at $550^{\circ}C$~$800^{\circ}C$. The remanent polarization $2P_r$ of the SBT film exhibited a maximum value of 9.72$\mu\textrm{cm}^2$ with post annealing at $600^{\circ}C$, and then decreased with increasing the post annealing temperature above $600^{\circ}C$. The MOD-derived SBT films exhibited the high leakage current density of ~$10^{-3} \textrm{A/cm}^2$ at 75kV/cm. With post annealing the Pt/SBT/Pt capacitor at 600~$800^{\circ}C$, however, the leakage current density decreased remarkably to less than $10^{-6}\textrm{A/cm}^2$ at 75kV/cm.

ErmSF is one of the Erm family proteins which catalyze S-adenosyl-$_L$-methionine dependent modification of a specific adenine residue (A2058, E. coli numbering) in bacterial 23S rRNA, thereby conferring resistance to clinically important macrolide, lincosamide and streptogramin B ($MLS_B$) antibiotics. $^{222}FXPXPXVXS^{230}$ (ErmSF numbering) sequence appears to be a consensus sequence among the Erm family. This sequence was supposed to be involved in direct interaction with the target adenine from the structural studies of Erm protein ErmC'. But in DNA methyltarnsferase M. Taq I, this interaction have been identified biochemically and from the complex structure with substrate. Arginine 223 and 227 in this sequence are not conserved among Erm proteins, but because of the basic nature of residues, it was expected to interact with RNA substrates. Two amino acid residues were replaced with Ala by site-directed mutagenesis. Two mutant proteins still maintained its activity in vivo and resistant to the antibiotic erythromycin. Compared to the wild-type ErmSF, R223A and R227A proteins retained about 50% and 88% of activity in vitro, respectively. Even though those arginine residues are not essential in the catalytic step, with their positive charge they may play an important role for RNA binding.

For microwave device applications, c-axis oriented high temperature superconducting YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-{\delta}}$ (HTS-YBCO) epitaxial thin films on the r-cut sapphire substrate(Al$_2$O$_3$) were prepared. In order to reduce the lattice mismatch with a substrate and to enhance the crystallity of HTS thin films, CeO$_2$ buffer layer on the r-cut sapphire substrate was grown by the RF-magnetron sputtering. The YBCO films on the CeO$_2$ buffer layer were deposited using the pulsed-laser deposition (PLD) method. These HTS YBCO /CeO$_2$/Al$_2$O$_3$ multilayer thin films(30 $\times$ 30 mm$^2$) routinely exhibited a critical temperature(T$_{c}$) of 89 K from the R-T measurement. Using HTS YBCO/CeO$_2$ /Al$_2$O$_3$ multilayer thin film. We fabricated and characterized the microwave passive devices (planar type filters) with cryopack-age such as the coupled -line type low-pass filter (LPF) and the open-loop meander type bandpass filter (BPF).filter (BPF).).

The primary and secondary structures of Xanthomonas palargonii 5S rRNA were determined. The higher order structure of the 5S rRNA was also analysed using several ribonucleases and chemical probes, such as ethylnitrourea, Pb2+, dimethylsulfate and diethyl pyrocarbonate. Ethylnitrourea was used for probing the phosphate groups involved in the tertiary interactions in the 5S rRNA. Nucleotides G72, A73, G75, A78, G98, G100 and A101 in unstable helical region d, nucleotides C36, C37, A39, and C41 in loop c, nucleotides A29 and G33 in stem C became resistant to ethylnitrourea modification in the presence of Mg2+. On the basis of findings from chemical and enzymatic studies, and also Pb2+-induced cleavages, it was concluded that region b-C and unstable helical region d may act as hinges in the folding of 5S rRNA.
