    Seed plants, such as rice, wheat, soybean, and corn, are very important as food sources for people around the world. Thus, as the world's population increases, it is necessary that food quality and production are developed. Selective breeding of plants requires seed preservation at low temperature.
    Changes in the freezing and non-freezing water of unpolished rice grains at each growth stage after flowering were measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The weight of water in unpolished rice grains rapidly increased until 10 days after flowering. Twenty days after flowering, the weight of water decreased. The length of unpolished rice grains remained unchanged after 10 days. The content of non-freezing water peaked at the 10th day. The content in non-freezing water was constant after 20 days. The glass transition temperature was constant at about -100°C up to 40 days after flowering. The glass transition temperature was abruptly increased after the 40th days, when the freezing (unbound) water in the rice grains was no longer observed in the unpolished rice. The glass transition temperature of the unpolished rice is dependent on the moisture content of the grains.

    Thermal measurement on the electrode by use of thermistors was carried out in some electrochemical reaction processes. The thermal response reflecting the entropy change for deintercalation of various ions (L+, K+, ClO4-, BF4-), doping of SO42- and H+ elimination, and doping/dedoping of ClO4- was cleary obtained on the graphite, polyaniline and polypyrrole electrodes, respectively. The combination of electrochemical and thermal methods can provide useful information for understanding of reaction process.

    Evaluating the uncertainty of the result of a measurement of a physical quantity is very effective to the improvement of the measurement technique. The new expression of uncertainty in measurements has been established to standardize the expression of error evaluation on measurement results. In this text, the sources of uncertainty on thermal expansion measurement techniques by using a pushrod dilatometer and a laser interferometric dilatometer were classified and the uncertainty of the result in the linear thermal expansivity measurements was presented according to the guide of the expression of uncertainty.

    Energy-dispersive photon detection with quantum microcalorimeters are reviewed emphasis with on the Transition Edge Sensor (TES) microcalorimeters. At X-ray wavelengths, these detectors realize high energy resolution and high quantum efficiency at the same time, and thus are very useful for observations of very weak cosmic X-rays. The signal response and the noise of the detectors are discussed. We show that they can detect photons of wide energy ranges; from infra-red to hard X-rays.
