A transcriptionally active fragment $(P_{19})$ isolated by utilizing the promoter-probe shuttle vector pSK1Cat was analyzed. By subcloning analysis, the 180 bp region $(P_{180})$ responsible for the activity was determined. Transcriptional fusion of the C. glutamicum metX gene to $P_{180}\;(P_{180}-metX)$ resulted in a 24-fold increase in MetX activity in a complex medium, while a 13-fold increase was observed with the $P_{tac}$ promoter. Additionally, the expression conferred by $P_{180}$ was not affected by methionine added to the growth medium, suggesting that the $P_{180}$ clone is useful for the deregulated expression of biosynthetic genes in C. glutamicum during amino acid fermentation. Introduction of $P_{180}-metX$ into a lysine-producing C. glutamicum resulted in the production of methionine to 0.8 g/l.

Radioactive corrosion product specimens were analyzed using an electron probe microanalyzer (EPMA) and X-ray image mapping. It is difficult to analyze the composition of radioactive corrosion products using an EPMA due to the size and rough shape of the surfaces. It is particularly challenging to analyze the composition of radioactive corrosion products in the form of piled up, small grains. However, useful results can be derived by applying a semi-quantitative analysis method using an EPMA with X-ray images. A standard-less, semi-quantitative method for wavelength dispersive spectrometry. EPMA analysis was developed with the objective of simplifying the analytical procedure required. In this study, we verified the reasonable theory of semi-quantitative analysis and observed the semi-quantitative results using a sample with a good surface condition. Based on the validated results, we analyzed highly rough-surface radioactive corrosion products and assessed their composition. Finally, the usefulness of the semi-quantitative analysis was reviewed by verifying the results of the analysis of radioactive corrosion products collected from spent nuclear fuel rods.

Impedance of a post mount structure supporting a microwave diode in the X-band rectangular waveguide is calculated by using the induced EMF method. Probe measurement of the driving point impedance of the post mounu shows a close agreement with the theoretical calulation when the gap of the post mount is near the bottom wall of the waveguide.

The electrical conductivities of the yttria (8mol%) stabilizedzirconia-ceria solid solutions were measured as a function of oxygen partial between 80$0^{\circ}C$ and 100$0^{\circ}C$ using 4-probe d.c. method Under pure oxygen atmosphere the oxygen ionic conductivity of CeO2-ZrO2 decreased with the concentration of CeO2 Under reducing condition electronic conduction due to the redox equilibrium of Ce ion was observed. Total ionic and electronic conductivities fitted by a defect model enabled to determine the electronic transference number(tei) which increased with the concentration of CeO2 and with the degree of reduction.

In this study, a new sintered specimens of Y$\_$1-x/Sm$\_$x/Ba$_2$Cu$_3$O$\_$y/ is composed by substituting Sm for a part of Y in the YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$\_$y/ high Tc superconductor, in order to study of making (Y$.$Sm)-Ba-Cu-O system sintered specimens and their characteristics. An their change affected on superconductivity and their characteristics are studied by changing the x range of the composition rate. The resistances of electrical characteristics under the conditions of the composition and the temperature are measured by using Ac four probe method in the procedure of this experiments. And it is confirmed that the Meissner effect from the superconductivity of composed Sm system exists in the range of 0

The normal and fluorinated high-Tc superconducting materials, $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}F_y$with $0.25{\leq}x{\leq}0.55\;and\;0.00{\leq}y{\leq}0.30$, were synthesized to investigate the dopping effect of fluorine atom on the superconductivity of Y123 and studied by X-ray diffraction analysis and electron probe microanalysis, resistivity and thermopower measurements, and polarized micro-Raman spectroscopy. The reproducible micro-Raman spectra were recorded and analyzed. The coherent assignments could be suggested for the spectra of normal and fluorinated samples. The fluorine atoms introduced were found to be substituted for oxygen in pyramidal Cu-O units rather than in Cu-O chains. The unit cell parameters were decreased upon the substitution of oxygen by fluorine atom. From the decreasing cell parameters and Tc, the increasing thermopower, and the possible assignments of the vibrational modes, it could be suggested that the dopping of fluorine atom localizes the superconducting electrons in Y123.

[ $Gd_{1+x}Ba_{2-x}Cu_3O_7$ ] (GdBCO) coated conductors on IBAD-MgO templates have grown by pulsed laser deposition. Critical current of the films were measured as about 90 A/cm by a four-probe method. The optical response of the films was investigated by Raman scattering spectroscopy. According to the Raman scattering spectra, the peaks at $328\;cm^{-1}$, $451\;cm^{-1}$, $504\;cm^{-1}$ were found and assigned to one $B_{1g}$ mode and two $A_{1g}$ modes, respectively. The high critical-current carrying behaviors of the GdBCO coated conductors are ascribed to their 123-structure without exchange of cation and incorporation of oxygen into the cuprates.

Nickel mono-silicide(NiSi) shows no increase of resistivity as the line width decreases below 0.15$\mu\textrm{m}$. Furthermore, thin silicide can be made easily and restrain the redistribution of dopants, because NiSi in created through the reaction of one nickel atom and one silicon atom. Therefore, we investigated the deposition condition of Ni films, heat treatment condition and basic properties of NiSi films which are expected to be employed for sub-0.15$\mu\textrm{m}$ class devices. The nickel silicide film was deposited on the Si wafer by using a dc-magnetron sputter, then annealed at the temperature range of $150~1000^{\circ}C$. Surface roughness of each specimen was measured by using a SPM (scanning probe microscope). Microstructure and qualitative composition analysis were executed by a TEM-EDS(transmission electron microscope-energy dispersive x-ray spectroscope). Electrical properties of the materials at each annealing temperature were measured by a four-point probe. As the results of our study, we may conclude that; 1. SPM can be employed as a non-destructive process to monitor NiSi/NiSi$_2$ transformation. 2. For annealing temperature over $800^{\circ}C$, oxygen pressure $Po_2$ should be kept below $1.5{\times}10^{-11}torr$ to avoid oxidation of residual Ni. 3. NiSi to $NiSi_2$ transformation temperature in our study was $700^{\circ}C$ from the four-point probe measurement.

Chaterji strengthened version of a theorem for martin-gales which is a generalization of a theorem of Marcinkiewicz proving that if $X_n$ is a sequence of independent, identically distributed random variables with $E{\mid}X_n{\mid}^p\;<\;{\infty}$, 0 < P < 2 and $EX_1\;=\;1{\leq}\;p\;<\;2$ then $n^{-1/p}{\sum^n}_{i=1}X_i\;\rightarrow\;0$ a,s, and in $L^p$. In this paper, we probe a version of law of large numbers for double arrays. If ${X_{ij}}$ is a double sequence of random variables with $E{\mid}X_{11}\mid^log^+\mid X_{11}\mid^p\;<\infty$, 0 < P <2, then $lim_{m{\vee}n{\rightarrow}\infty}\frac{{\sum^m}_{i=1}{\sum^n}_{j=1}(X_{ij-a_{ij}}}{(mn)^\frac{1}{p}}\;=0$ a.s. and in $L^p$, where $a_{ij}$ = 0 if 0 < p < 1, and $a_{ij}\;=\;E[X_{ij}\midF_[ij}]$ if $1{\leq}p{\leq}2$, which is a generalization of Etemadi's marcinkiewicz-type SLLN for double arrays. this also generalize earlier results of Smythe, and Gut for double arrays of i.i.d. r.v's.

The Lorentz force distribution of a high $T_c$ superconducting tape with increasing transport currents in magnetic field ($H_a$) was visualized. The external magnetic field was applied normally to the coated conductor tape surface after zero-field cooling, and the transport current ($I_a$) was increased stepwise from 0 to 90 % of the values of the critical current ($I_c$ ($H_a$)) at applied filed, Ha. The field distribution (H(x)) near the sample surface across the tape width (2w) was measured using the scanning Hall probe method. Applying an inversion to the measured field distribution, we obtained the underlying current distribution (J(x)), from which the magnetic induction, B(x) was calculated with Biot-Savart law. Then Lorentz force per unit length was calculated using F(x)=J(x)${\times}$B(x), which appears to be very inhomogeneous along the tape width due to the complicated distributions of J(x) and B(x).
