The sintering and dielectric characteristics of $(1-x)Al_2O_3-xLa_2O_3$ ceramics (x=0.2, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0) were investigated. The sample of x=0.6 composition showed a largest density$(6.5g/cm^3)$ in the all samples and its grain were very uniform. The dielectric constant of the samples linearly increased from 9 to 17 up to x=0.6 with a increasing of x. The temperature coefficient of resonance frequency for the samples showed a positive value at x=0.2 and a negative value at x>0.4.

In recent years continuously increasing number of tuberculosis (TB) cases due to the emergence of strains with multidrug resistance and AIDS is a significant global health problem. Therefore, more rapid and reliable diagnosis of TB may be one of the most urgent needs in efforts to eradicate the disease. The present study was designed to compare and assess the diagnostic values and efficiencies between the conventional methods (X-ray, AFB stain and culture) and PCR for pulmonary TB on 171 cases. Chest X-ray finding and clinical features revealed that 39 (22.8%) of 171 sputum specimens were pulmonary TB cases. The statistical data were taken on the basis of the definitive diagnosis: In X-ray, overall sensitivity, specificity, efficiency and false positive and false negative incidence was respectively 69.2%, 87.1％, 83.0%, 12.9%, and 30.8％； 79.5%, 95.5%, 91.8%,4.6％ and 20.5％ in AFB-stain; 56.4%, 99.2%,89.5%, 0.8% and 43.6% in culture; 82.1%, 96.2%, 93.0%, 3.8% and 17.9% in PCR. PCR got a highest sensitivity and efficiency as well as a lowest false negative incidence. Culture had a highest specificity with a lowest false positive incidence. These results imply that PCR assay is fast, sensitive and efficient method for diagnosis of pulmonary TB. However, combined use of the conventional methods with thorough quality control may offer more opportunities for detecting Mycobacterium tuberculosis and diagnosting TB although they have some limits.

Two crystal structures of dehydrated, $Ag^{+}$ and $Ca^{2+}$-exchanged zeolite A treated at $250^{\circ}C$ with 0.15 torr of Cs vapor have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction technique in the cubic space group $Pm{\bar\3m$ at $21(1)^{\circ}C$ (a = 12.344(2) $\AA$ and 12.304(2) $\AA$). Their structures were refined to the final error indices, R (weighted), of 0.091 with 180 reflections, and 0.093 with 179 reflections, respectively, for which I > $3\sigma(I).$ In each structure, Cs species are found at four different crystallographic sites: 3 $Cs^{+}$ ions per unit cell are located at 8-ring centers, ca. 6.81∼7.14 $Cs^{+}$ ions are found on opposite 6-rings on threefold axes in the large cavity, ca. 1.93∼2.03 $Cs^{+}$ ions are found on threefold axes in the sodalite unit, and 0.53∼0.66 $Cs^{+}$ ions lie on opposite 4-rings. Also, ca. 4.12∼4.27 Ag atoms are located near the center of the large cavity. In these structures, excess cesium atoms in a unit cell are associated with other $Cs^{+}$ ions on a single threefold axis to form the linear cationic cluster $(Cs_4)^{3+}$. By blocking 8-rings, the $Cs^{+}$ ions may have prevented silver atoms from migrating out of the structure. The Ag atoms are likely to have formed hexasilver clusters at the centers of the large cavities. Each hexasilver cluster is stabilized by coordination to 14 $Cs^{+}$ ions.

Sixty healthy growing pigs ($Duroc{\times}Landrace{\times}Yorkshire$ with an average BW of 21.4 kg) were used to determine the true digestible phosphorus (TDP) requirement of growing pigs on the basis of growth performance and serum biochemical indices. Pigs were assigned randomly to one of five dietary treatments (12 pigs/diet), representing five levels of TDP (0.16%, 0.20%, 0.23%, 0.26% and 0.39%). There were three replications per treatment, with four pigs (2 barrows and 2 gilts) in each replication (2 pigs/pen) A randomized-block design was used, with pen as the experimental unit. Experimental diets were formulated to provide the 5 TDP levels with a total calcium (Ca) to TDP ratio of 2:1, and offered to pigs at 5% BW for 28 d. The total Ca contents of the five diets were 0.33, 0.38, 0.45, 0.51 and 0.79%, respectively. During the 28-d experimental period, the ADG of pigs was affected by dietary TDP levels as described by Equation 1: y = $-809,532x^4+788,079x^3-276,250x^2+42,114x-1$,759; ($R^2$ = 0.99; p<0.01; y = ADG, g/d; x = dietary TDP, %). The feed:gain ratio for pigs was affected by dietary TDP levels as described by Equation 2: y = $3,651.1x^4-3,480.4x^3+1,183.8x^2-172.5x+10.9$ ($R^2$ = 0.99; p<0.01; y = feed:gain ratio; x = dietary TDP, %). Total P concentrations in serum were affected by dietary TDP levels as described by Equation 3: y = $-3,311.7x^4+3,342.7x^3-1,224.6x^2+195.6x-8.7$ ($R^2$ = 0.99; p<0.01; y = total serum P concentration and x = dietary TDP, %). The highest ADG (782 g/d), the lowest feed:gain ratio (1.07), and the highest total serum P concentration (3.1 mmol/L) were obtained when dietary TDP level was 0.34%. Collectively, these results indicate that the optimal TDP requirement of growing pigs is 0.34% of the diet (e.g., 5.1 g/day for a 30-kg pig that consumed 1.5 kg feed daily) at a total Ca to TDP ratio of 2:1.

Nonstoichiometric solid solutions of the $Sr_{1+x}Dy_{1-x}FeO_{4-y}$ system (x = 0. 00, 0. 25, 0. 50, 0. 75 and 1. 00) with layered $K-2NiF_4$ type structure were prepared at 1200$^{\circ}$C under atmospheric pressure. X-ray powder diffraction spectra show that the crystallographic phases of the samples are tetragonal within the x range. Nonstoichiometric chemical formulas have been determined by Mohr salt analysis and it shows that the amount of $Fe^{4+}$ ion or ${\tau}$ value increases with increasing x. Electrical conductivities of the samples which were measured in the temperature range of $-100{\sim}200^{\circ}$C under atmospheric air pressure are varied within the semiconductivity range of $l0^{-8}{\sim}10^{-2}(ohm^{-1}{\cdot}cm^{-1}$) and the activation energies are also varied from 0.02 to 0.08 eV. Mixed valency state of $Fe^{3+}$ and $Fe^{4+}$ in the sample of $Sr_{1.00}Dy_{1.00}FeO_{4.04}$ was identified again by Mossbauer spectrum at 200K.

Thermal hydrogenation of phenylacetylene (PA, $C_8H_6$) to styrene ($C_8H_8$) on pre-$C_xH_y$- and C-covered Cu(111) single crystal substrates has been studied using temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) mass spectrometry. Chemisorbed PA with an acetylene group has been proved to be associated with hydrogen of pre-adsorbed $C_xH_y$ to form styrene (104 amu) on Cu surface. For the parent (PA) mass (102 amu) TPD profile, the TPD peaks at 360 K and 410 K are assigned to chemisorbed vertically aligned PA and flat-lying cross-bridged PA, respectively (J. Phys. Chem. C 2007, 111, 5101). The relative $I_{360K}/I_{410K}$ TPD ratio dramatically increases with increasing pre-adsorbed $C_xH_y$ before dosing PA, while the ratio does not increase for pre-C-covered surface. For PA on pre-$C_xH_y$-covered Cu(111) surface, styrene desorption is enhanced relative to the parent PA desorption, while styrene formation is dramatically quenched on pre-C-covered (lack of adsorbed hydrogen nearby) surface. It appears that only cross-bridged PA associates with adsorbed hydrogen to form styrene that promptly desorbs at 410 K, while vertically aligned PA is less likely to participate in forming styrene.

The InP single crystals were grown by Modified Synthesis Solute Diffusion (SSD) method and its properties were investigated. The crystal growth rate and lattice constant $a_{\circ}$ of the grown crystals were 1.8mm/day, 5.867${\AA}$ respectively. Etch pits density along growth direction of crystal had nearly uniformity' about (2-6)x10 $cm^{-2}$ from first freeze part to last freeze part. The carrier concentration, mobility and resistivity varied from 6.25 x $10^{15}cm^{-3}$, 4218 $cm^{2}$/V sec and 1.38 x $10^{-1}{\Omega}^{-cm}$ at the first freeze part to 8.8x$10^{-3}cm^{-3}$, 4012 $cm^{2}$/V.sec and 1.43 X $10^{-1}{\Omega}^{-cm}$ at the last freeze part. In the photoluminescence at 10K, the radiation transitions were observed by the near band edge recombination, D-A pair recombination and its phonon replica in the undoped InP.

In this paper, the ventilation characteristics of an underground parking lot with 17 buses has been investigated for two cases by computational fluid dynamics. It has been found that the average concentration of CO and $NO_x$ gas in the parking lot were 1.3 and 0.3 ppm respectively, when four buses operated. When the fifteen vehicles stopped in the parking lot, the average concentration of CO and $NO_x$ gas was 2.9 and 0.8 ppm respectively. The average concentration of two pollutants$(CO,\;NO_x)$ are lower than the standard values. Therefore the facilities and its location is proper to ventilation.
