The metallic implant materials are widely used in biomedical industries due to their specific mechanical strenth, corrosion registance, and superior biocompatability. These metallic materials, however, suffer from the stress-shielding effect and the generation of artifacts in the magnetic resonance imaging exam. In the present study, we develope a Zr-based alloys for the biomedical implant materials with low elastic modulus and low magnetic susceptibility. The Zr-7Si-xSn alloys were fabricated by an arc melting process. The elastic modulus was 24~31 GPa of the zirconium-based alloy. The average magnetic susceptibility value of the Zr-7Si-xSn alloy was 1.25 × 10^-8cm³g^-1. The average I_corr value of the Zr-7Si-xSn alloy was 0.2 ㎂/cm². The Sn added zirconium alloy, Zr-7Si-xSn, is very interested and attractive as a biomaterial that reduces the stress-shielding effect caused by the difference of elastic modulus between human bone and metallic implant.

A study was conducted to devise a method to estimate the edible meat weight in live broilers. White Cornish broiler chicks CC, Single Comb White Leghorn egg strain chicks LL, and two reciprocal cross breeds of these two parent stocks (CL and LC) were employed A total of 240 birds, 60 birds from each breed, were reared and sacrificed at 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 weeks of ages in order to measure various body parameters. Results obtained from this study were summarized as follows. 1) The average body weight of CC and LL were 1,820g and 668g, respectively, at 8 weeks of age. The feed to gain ratios for CC and LL were 2.24 and 3.28, respectively. 2) The weight percentages of edible meat to body weight were 34.7, 36.8 and 37.5% at 6, 8 and 10 weeks of ages, respectively, for CC. The values for LL were 30.7, 30.5 and 32.3%, respectively, The CL and LC were intermediate in this respect. No significant differences were found among four breeds employed. 3) The CC showed significantly smaller weight percentages than did the other breeds in neck, feather, and inedible viscera. In comparison, the LL showed the smaller weight percentages of leg and abdominal fat to body weight than did the others. No significant difference was found among breeds in terms of the weight percentages of blood to body weight. With regard to edible meat, the CC showed significantly heavier breast and drumstick, and the edible viscera was significantly heavier in LL. There was no consistent trend in neck, wing and back weights. 4) The CC showed significantly larger measurements body shape components than did the other breeds at all time. Moreover, significant difference was found in body shape measurements between CL and LC at 10 weeks of age. 5) All of the measurements of body shape components except breast angle were highly correlated with edible meat weight. Therefore, it appeared to be possible to estimate the edible meat wight of live chickens by the use of these values. 6) The optimum regression equations for the estimation of edible meat weight by body shape measurements at 10 weeks of age were as follows. $$Y_{cc}=-1,475.581 +5.054X_{26}+3.080X_{24}+3.772X_{25}+14.321X_{35}+1.922X_{27}(R^2=0.88)$$ $$Y_{LL}=-347.407+4.549X_{33}+3.003X_{31}(R^2=0.89)$$ $$Y_{CL}=-1,616.793+4.430X_{24}+8.566X_{32}(R^2=0.73)$$ $$Y_{LC}=-603.938+2.142X_{24}+3.039X_{27}+3.289X_{33}(R^2=0.96)$$ Where $X_{24}$=chest girth, $X_{25}$=breast width, $X_{26}$=breast length, $X_{27}$=keel length, $X_{31}$=drumstick girth, $X_{32}$=tibotarsus length, $X_{33}$=shank length, and $X_{35}$=shank diameter. 7) The breed and age factors caused considerable variations in assessing the edible meat weight in live chicken. It seems however that the edible meat weight in live chicken can be estimated fairly accurately with optimum regression equations derived from various body shape measurements.

We investigated the structural, electrical and magnetic properties of Mn-doped $CuAlO_2$ delafossite ceramics ($CuAl_{1-x}Mn_{x}O_2,\;0\le\;x\;\le0.05$), synthesized by solid-state reaction method in an air atmosphere at a sintering temperature of $1150^{\circ}C$. The solubility limit of Mn ions in delafossite $CuAlO_2$ was found to be as low as about 3 $mol\%$. Positive Hall coefficient and the temperature dependence of conductivity established that non-doped $CuAlO_2$ ceramic is a variable-range hopping p-type semiconductor. It was found that the Mn-doping in $CuAlO_2$ rapidly reduced the hole concentration and conductivity, indicating compensation of free holes. The analysis of the magnetization data provided an evidence that antiferromagnetic superexchange interaction is the dominant mechanism of the exchange coupling between Mn ions in $CuAl_{1-x}Mn_{x}O$ alloy, leading to an almost paramagnetic behavior in this alloy.

0.15($Ba_{1-x}Sr_{x}$)O-$0.15Sm_2O_3$-$0.7TiO_2$(x=0∼9[m/o]ceramics were fabricated by mixed-oxide method. Microwave dielectric properties were investigated with sintering conditions aid Sr addictive. In the specimen with x=0[m/o] sintered at 1350∼1470[$^{\circ}C$], dielectric constant, quality factor and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency were 70∼74, 2800∼3300(at 3[GHz]), -1.33∼+l.66[ppm/$^{\circ}C$, respectively. Increasing the Sr additive from 0 to 5[m/o], dielectric constant and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency were increased and quality factor was decreased. In the specimen with x=r[m/o] sintered at 1375[$^{\circ}C$], 6[hr], dielectric constant, quality factor and temperature coefficient resonant frequency were 75.62, 2785(at 3[GHz]), +8.39[ppm/$^{\circ}C$], respectively.

In this paper, we proposed a new instruction set(X32Y ISA) with 3 different types of instruction mode. The proposed instruction set organizes 32-bit, 24-bit, 16-bit instruction in order to solves a problem of memory size limitation in an embedded microprocessor. We designed a 32-bit 5 stage pipeline RISC microprocessor based on the X32V ISA. To verify the proposed the X32V ISA and a microprocessor, we estimated a program code size of multimedia application programs using a X32V simulator. In result, we verified that the Light mode and the Ultra Light mode obtains 8%, 27% reduction of a program code size through comparison with the Default mode. The proposed microprocessor was verified all X32V instructions execution at Xilinx FPGA with 33MHz operating frequency,

Significant improvements in the switching voltage distribution are required for the development of unipolar resistive memory devices using $MnO_x$ thin films. The $V_{set}$ of the as-grown $MnO_x$ film ranged from 1 to 6.2 V, whereas the $V_{set}$ of the oxygen-annealed film ranged from 2.3 to 3 V. An excess of oxygen in an $MnO_x$ film leads to an increase in $Mn^{4+}$ content at the $MnO_x$ film surface with a subsequent change in the $Mn^{4+}/Mn^{3+}$ ratio at the surface. This was attributed to the change in $Mn^{4+}/Mn^{3+}$ ratios at the $MnO_x$ surface and to grain growth. Oxygen annealing is a possible solution for improving the switching voltage distribution of $MnO_x$ thin films. In addition, crystalline $MnO_x$ can help stabilize the $V_{set}$ and $V_{reset}$ distribution in memory switching in a Ti/$MnO_x$/Pt structure. The improved uniformity was attributed not only to the change of the crystallinity but also to the redox reaction at the interface between Ti and $MnO_x$.

Lu₃Al_5-xGa_xO₁₂:Ce³⁺,Cr³⁺ powders are prepared using a solid-state reaction method. To determine the crystal structure, Rietveld refinement is performed. The results indicate that Ga³⁺ ions preferentially occupied tetrahedral rather than octahedral sites. The lattice constant linearly increases, obeying Vegard's law, despite the strong preference of Ga³⁺ for the tetrahedral sites. Increasing x led to a blue-shift of the Ce³⁺ emission band in the green region and a change in the emission intensity. Persistent luminescence is observed from the powders prepared with x = 2-3, occurring through a trapping and detrapping process between Ce³⁺ and Cr³⁺ ions. The longest persistent luminescence is achieved for x = 2; its lifetime is at least 30 min. The findings are explained using crystal structure refinement, crystal field splitting, optical band gap, and electron trapping mechanism.

We investigated the crystallographic and magnetic properties of double perovskite $Sr_2Fe_{l-x}Cr_{x}MoO_{6}$ (x=0.0, 0.01, 0.03, 0.05, and 0.10). Mossbauer spectra of the $Sr_2Fe_{l-x}Cr_{x}MoO_{6}$ have been taken at various temperatures ranging from 15 to 415 K. As the temperature increased towards $T_{c}$(415 K), the Mossbauer spectra showed line broadening and 1, 6 and 3, 4 line-width differences because of anisotropic hyperfine field fluctuation. The Mossbauer spectra indicated that an anisotropic field fluctuation of +H ( $P_{+}$=0.85) was greater than that of -H ($P_{-}$=0.15). We also calculated the field fluctuation frequency factors and the temperature dependence of anisotropy energies from its relaxation rate. We interpreted the effect of Cr ($t^3$$_{2g}$) doping as a decrease in the anisotropy energy.

This study aims to develop and manufacture a device for inspecting impurities in a sealed aluminum container using an X-ray technique. Two X-ray oscillators and detectors are used to detect the entire sample. The stage for sample movement was fabricated using two high-voltage generators and X-ray detectors arranged diagonally. In addition, the high-voltage generator is composed of a vacuum tube, a high-voltage generator, and circulating oil for cooling. It includes a control unit for controlling other equipment, a power supply unit, and a video output unit; the most important part of the X-ray is the X-ray generation part. In this study, a flat panel was used along with the aim of developing the detector part. In particular, the development of the scintillator introduced in this study is a primary focus. The developed scintillator can be combined with a lens and can then be assembled with a charge coupled device (CCD) sensor.

Let X be a T-admissible space and A(x) be the set of all admissible fibers at x∈X. In this paper, we introduce some basic concepts, properties, and known results about set-valued maps, hyperspaces and especially T-admissible spaces. And then, we construct a certain set-valued map(Theorem 2.3) and an arc from {x} to X∈A(x) in use of the set-valued maps(Theorem 2.3 through Theorem 2.7).
