In this study, the effect of the size of B powder on the critical current density (J_c) of MgB₂ prepared by an in situ reaction process was investigated. Various combinations of B powders were made using a micron B, ball-milled B and nano B powders. Micron B powder was reduced by ball milling and the milled B powder was mixed with the micron B or nano B powder. The mixing ratios of the milled B and micron or nano B were 100:0, 50:50 and 0:100. Non-milled micron B powder was also mixed with nano powder in the same ratios. Pellets of (2B+Mg) prepared with various B mixing ratios were heat-treated to form MgB₂. T_c of MgB₂ decreased slightly when the milled B was used, whereas the J_c of MgB₂ increased with increasing amount of the milled B or the nano powder. The used of the milled B and nano B power promoted the formation MgB₂ during heat treatment. In addition to the enhanced formation of MgB₂, the use of the powders reduced the grain size of MgB₂. The use of the milled and nano B powder increased the J_c of MgB₂. The highest J_c was achieved when 100% nano B powder was used. The J_c enhancement is attributed to the high volume fraction of the superconducting phase (MgB₂) and the large grain boundaries, which induces the flux pinning at the magnetic fields.

As interest in health has recently increased, many researchers have investigated the utilization of functional foods by confectioneries and bakeries. However, research on loaf bread containing beets has not been conducted. To investigate the optimal ratio of beet in loaf bread containing beet powder, characteristics of loaf bread according to 2%(B2), 4%(B4), and 6%(B6) beet powder per wheat flour were examined. The experimental results were as follows. Fermentation rate was reduced as content of beet powder increased compared with the control, whereas pH levels of dough and loaf bread significantly increased as content of beet powder increased. As content of beet powder increased, volume of loaf bread decreased, whereas specific volume increased. There was no significant difference in volume of loaf bread between the samples. As far as color changes are concerned, as content of beet powder increased, L value decreased, whereas a and b values increased with significant differences between the samples. Characteristics were examined by sensory evaluation of loaf bread containing beet powder. Color of inner texture and peel color of loaf bread significantly increased as content of beet powder increased. Size of air pores was largest in B4, and there was no significant difference in the uniformity of loaf bread between the control and experiment groups. As content of beet powder increased, rigidity of bread was reduced. Control showed the highest elasticity, whereas moisture level was highest in B2 with no significant differences between the samples. The flavor of beet was stronger as content of beet powder increased. In the preference test, B4 showed the highest preference scores for texture, flavor, taste, and overall likeness but not appearance. The experimental results showed that B4 among all control and experimental groups had the most suitable baking characteristics and an optimum content of beet powder. Therefore, B4 can be considered as the most appropriate for making loaf bread containing 4% beet powder in terms of physical and sensory characteristics. This is a new product that satisfies overall sensory preferences and has improved functionality.

The Mg-Powder-Compaction (MPC) process is proposed to fabricate the MgB₂ superconducting wires. Mg powder wall, similar to the Mg metal tube, inside the Nb outer sheath has been made and the stochiometric B powder was inserted into the wall. Even though the very high MgB₂ core density of 2.53 g/cm³ is obtained, the superconducting area fraction of MgB₂ is not high enough for the applications. In this work, an advanced MPC process was adopted by adding Mg powder into B powder. The Mg powder wall in the initial wire was fabricated by controlling the wall thickness while maintaining a constant density, and the mixture of B and Mg powder was filled into the Mg powder wall with the same filling density. It is found that the reduction in the area of the Mg powder wall proceeds similar to the wire, and the Mg powder wall is well maintained at the final wire diameter, which is advantage for the fabrication of long wires. With the advanced MPC process, as the added Mg is increased the densities of MgB₂ core is decreased and the porous structure is formed, it is found that the area fraction of superconducting MgB₂ increase up to the 37.7 % with the improved high critical current density (J_c) and the engineering critical current density (J_e).

The crystallization effects of boron (B) powder on the phase, full width at half maximum (FWHM) values, and critical properties were investigated for in-situ reacted $MgB_2$ bulk superconductors. The semi-crystalline B powder was heat-treated at different temperatures of 1000, 1300 and $1500^{\circ}C$ for 5 hours in an Ar atmosphere. Then, using as-received and heat-treated B powders, the $MgB_2$ samples were prepared at $600^{\circ}C$ for 40 hours in an Ar atmosphere. As the heat-treatment temperature of the B powder increased, both the particle size of the B powder and crystalline phase increased. In the case of $MgB_2$ samples using B powders heat-treated at above $1300^{\circ}C$, unreacted magnesium (Mg) and B remained due to the improved crystallinity of the B powder. As the heat-treatment temperature of B powder increased, the critical current density of $MgB_2$ decreased continuously due to the reduction of grain boundary density and superconducting volume caused by unreacted Mg and B.

High-coercive (Nd,Dy)-Fe-B magnets were fabricated via dysprosium coating on Nd-Fe-B powder. The sputtering coating process of Nd-Fe-B powder yielded samples with densities greater than 98%. $(Nd,Dy)_2Fe_{14}B$ phases may have effectively penetrated into the boundaries between neighboring $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ grains during the sputtering coating process, thereby forming a $(Nd,Dy)_2Fe_{14}B$ phase at the grain boundary. The maximum thickness of the Dy shell was approximately 70 nm. The maximum coercivity of the Dy sputter coated samples(sintered samples) increased from 1162.42 to 2020.70 kA/m. The microstructures of the $(Nd,Dy)_2Fe_{14}B$ phases were effectively controlled, resulting in improved magnetic properties. The increase in coercivity of the Nd-Fe-B sintered magnet is discussed from a microstructural point of view.

Since the MgB₂ superconductor is simply composed of two constituents of Mg and B, its performance can be monitored easily with the change of one ingredient compared to the other. With the powder size of B less than 100 nm, two different sizes of Mg powders are used to investigate the reaction temperature dependence of MgB₂ bulk samples. In the range of 630-700℃ for the duration of 30 min., the un-reacted Mg is seen only at 630℃ with Mg powder size of <5 ㎛, whereas Mg traces are detected at all the temperature range with Mg powder size of <45 ㎛. The reaction temperature dependence of MgB₂ superconducting transition temperature, T_c, shows little difference whether Mg powder size is large or small in this range except for the 630℃. It is worthy of notice that the critical current densities of MgB₂ show higher performance with the small size of Mg compared to the large one at all field ranges. With the Mg powder size of <45 ㎛, flux pinning is enhanced with decreasing the reaction temperature, whereas flux pinning properties is quite similar in the Mg powder size of <5 ㎛ except for the 630℃, where Mg is left behind after the reaction.

Magnetic relaxation properties of pure MgB₂ powder samples and diluted water-treated MgB₂ powder samples were investigated. The magnetic field H-dependence, m(H), and the time t-dependence, m(t), of the magnetic moment m were measured and analyzed using the PPMS-VSM magnetometer equipment, respectively. The m(t) reduction rates of pure MgB₂ powder samples and diluted water-treated MgB₂ powder samples decreased to about 0.7 ~ 1.8% and 0.6 ~ 1.0% for about 7200 s, respectively, at temperature T = 15 K. The magnetic relaxation properties of the two types of MgB₂ powders were analyzed by calculating the magnetic relaxation rate S = -dln(M_irr)/dln(t) values according to Anderson-Kim theory. The magnetic relaxation ratio S values of the two types of MgB₂ powder samples were almost similar. As a result of the quantum creep effect, the constant magnetic relaxation rate S characteristic was confirmed at a temperature range of T = 10 K or less.

인삼 분말이 $B({\alpha})P$의 투여로 간 독성이 유발된 마우스에서의 항산화 효소, 글루타치온 및 과산화지질 함량 변화에 미치는 영향으로 살펴보았다. 먼저 인삼 분말의 투여시 $B({\alpha})P$ 투여로 인한 간 조직중의 SOD, catalase 그리고 GSH-Px의 활성은 유의적으로 증가되었다가, 인삼분말의 처리로 이들 활성이 유의적으로 감소하였다. 반면, GST 활성과 간 조직중의 글루타치온 함량은 $B({\alpha})P$ 단독 투여군에서는 감소되었다가 인삼 분말 투여시 유의적인 증가를 보였다. 그러나 cytochrome P-450 활성과 지질과산화물 함량은 $B({\alpha})P$ 투여시 증가되었다가 인삼 분말의 투여시 유의적으로 감소되었다. 이상의 결과로 인삼 분말은 $B({\alpha})P$에 의한 간 손상에 대한 보호효과를 가지는 것으로 사료된다.

In this study, GaN powders were synthesized from gallium oxide-hydroxide (GaOOH) through an ammonification process in an $NH_3$ flow with the variation of $B_2O_3$ additives within a temperature range of $300-1050^{\circ}C$. The additive effect of $B_2O_3$ on the hexagonal phase GaN powder synthesis route was examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier transformation infrared transmission (FTIR) spectroscopy. With increasing the mol% of $B_2O_3$ additive in the GaOOH precursor powder, the transition temperature and the activation energy for GaN powder formation increased while the GaN synthesis limit-time ($t_c$) shortened. The XPS results showed that Boron compounds of $B_2O_3$ and BN coexisted in the synthesized GaN powders. From the FTIR spectra, we were able to confirm that the GaN powder consisted of an amorphous or cubic phase $B_2O_3$ due to bond formation between B and O and the amorphous phase BN due to B-N bonds. The GaN powder synthesized from GaOOH and $B_2O_3$ mixed powder by an ammonification route through ${\beta}-Ga_2O_3$ intermediate state. During the ammonification process, boron compounds of $B_2O_3$ and BN coated ${\beta}-Ga_2O_3$ and GaN particles limited further nitridation processes.
