A new method for preparing microporous ceramics by the silicon carbide whiskers was studied in this paper. The physical and chemical properties and the microstructure of the microporous ceramics were tested, while some influencing factors for the product, such as the amount of sintering aids and sintering temperature, were discussed. The results suggest that the apparent porosity of the microporous ceramics is 55.7-59.8% and the flexural strength is 127-176MPa. The pore distribution of the microporous ceramics is uniformity and the diameter of the pore ranges between 0.5μm and 7μm. The porosity and pore size of the microporous ceramic can be controlled by adjusting the sintering temperature and the amount of sintering aids.

Mo powder was pressed into rods by cold isostatic pressing and sintered by multi-function furnace. Physical and chemical properties of sintering samples at different temperature were tested such as chemical elements, density, area shrinkage ratio and fracture surface morphology. Through the investigation we can draw the conclusions as following: Mo powder softens at 1353K. The temperature of beginning metallization is 1833K. In the range of 1713K~1953K, impurity contents such as C and O drop down fast and density increases sharply. When sintering temperature rises from 1833K to 1953K, the grains of sintering rods are fine. When the sintering temperature surpasses 2073K, the grains grow up very fast. The sintering shrinkage ratio enlarges quickly.

The continuing search for new types of high-strength materials, and for performance improvements in existing ceramics, has encouraged several nonconventional approaches to ceramics synthesis. Some of the advantages of polymeric routes have already been demonstrated and include new fabrication procedures leading to continuous fibers, coatings and infiltrated porous structures. At a more fundamental level, polymer pyrolysis can allow control over the microstructure of the final ceramic, with important consequences for both physical and chemical properties (1).

In connection with the spectrophotometric study of population-type characteristics of various kinds of stars, a statistical analysis of kinematical and distribution parameters of the same stars is performed at the Toruń Observatory. This has a twofold purpose: first, to provide a practical guide in selecting stars for observing programmes, second, to contribute to the understanding of relations existing between the physical and chemical properties of stars and their kinematics and distribution in the Galaxy.

Organic farming is one of the management strategies that improve productivity of marginal uplands. The study aimed to: (1) evaluate effects of various organic-based fertilizers on the growth and yield of corn; (2) determine the appropriate combination for optimum yield; and (3) assess changes on the soil physical and chemical properties. Experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design, with 3 replications and 7 treatments, namely; T0=(0-0-0); T1=1t ha-1 Evans + 45-30-30kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1; T2=t ha-1 Wellgrow + 45-30-30kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1; T3=15t ha-1 chicken dung; T4=10t ha-1 chicken dung + 45-30-30kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1; T5=15t ha-1 Vermicast; and T6=10t ha-1 Vermicast + 45-30-30kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1. Application of organic-based fertilizers with or without inorganic fertilizers promoted growth of corn than the control. But due to high infestation of corn silk beetle(Monolepta bifasciata Horns), its grain yield was greatly affected. In the second cropping, except for Evans, any of these fertilizers applied alone or combined with 45-30-30kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1 appeared appropriate in increasing corn earyield. Soil physical and chemical properties changed with addition of organic fertilizers. While bulk density decreased irrespective of treatments, pH, total N, available P and exchangeable K generally increased more with chicken dung application.
