The effects of casting processes-direct and indirect squeeze casting, permanent mold casting and die casting on the microstructure and mechanical properties were studied for the hypereutectic B390 aluminium alloy. The effects of T5 and T6 heat treatment were also examined. The direct and indirect squeeze casting showed no casting defects such as porosity and shrinkage were observed in permanent mold castings and die castings. The primary silicon phase was refined and homogeneously distributed in the order of indirect squeeze casting, diecasting, direct squeeze casting and permanent mold casting. Depletion of primary silicon phase in die casting surface was disappeared in indirect squeeze casting. Tensile strength of cast and heat treated specimens were increased in the order of direct squeeze casting, permanent mold casting, indirect squeeze casting and die casting. Hardness of indirect squeeze castings was larger than that of other castings. As indirect squeeze casting of B390 aluminium alloy, the time of T6 heat treatment to achieve high strength can be reduced.

To investigate the possibility of Panax ginseng as a therapeutic agent for the immune suppression, ginseng total saponin (GTS) extracted from korean red ginseng was tested on immune functions from morphine-induced immune suppressed mice. To study how immune functions are affected by morphine and also to test whether GTS can be an useful therapeutic agent for morphine toxicity, several parameters were employed, body weight, immune organ weight, B cell functions, and T cell function. Morphine impaired the development of body weight and immune organ weight such as spleen and thymus. Morphine also depressed a B-cell function, antibody production. T-cell functions studied by type IV hypersensitivity test were most markedly affected by morphine treatment. GTS restored most of morphine-induced immune suppression. GTS restored the morphine-induced decrease in spleen weight to body weight ratio in a dose dependent manner, but not the body weight decrease. Also all of the morphine-induced impairments of B cell functions and cellmediated immunity were fully recovered by GTS. These results suggest that ginseng product could be very helpful for the treatment of immune suppression occurring in morphine abusers.

Fully passivated low noise AlGaAs/InGaAs/GaAs pseudomorphic (PM) HEMT with wide head T-shaped gates were fabricated by dose split electron beam lithography (DSL). The dimensions of gate head and footprint were optimized by controlling the splitted pattern size, dose, and spaces of each pattern. We obtained stable T-shaped gate of $0.15{\mu}m$ gate length with $1.35{\mu}m-wide$ head. The maximum extrinsic transconductance was 560 mS/mm. The minimum noise figure measured at 18 GHz at $V_{ds}=2V andI_{ds}=17mA$ was 0.41 dB with associated gain of 8.19 dB. At 12 GHz, the minimum noise figure and an associated gain were 0.26 and 10.25 dB, respectively. These noise figures are the lowest values ever reported for GaAs-based HEMTs. These results are attributed to the extremely low gate resistance of wide head T-shaped gate having a ratio of the head to footprint dimensions larger than 9.
