New precursors as a Li adsorbent, $Li_{1.6}(MnM)_{1.6}O_4$ (M=Cu, Ni, Co, Fe), were synthesized by hydrothermal method and their physicochemical properties were discussed. XRD and HRTEM results revealed that the original spinel structure was stabilized by cobalt-doping while Cu-, Ni- and Fe-doping led to structural changes. Such a structural stabilization by Cobalt-doping was maintained after lithium leaching by acid treatment. Li absorption efficiency from seawater was significantly enhanced by using the Cobalt-doped spinel manganese oxide, $Li_{1.6}[MnCo]_{1.6}O_4$, compared to the commercially available $Li_{1.33}Mn_{1.67}O_4$; the adsorbed amount of Li from 1g-adsorbent was 35 and 16 mg by $Li_{1.6}[MnCo]_{1.6}O_4$, and $Li_{1.33}Mn_{1.67}O_4$, respectively.

Al doped $LiMn_2O_4$ cathode powders with fine size were synthesized by an ultrasonic spray pyrolysis method from the spray solution with citric acid and ethylene glycol. The as-prepared powders with spherical shape, porous structure and micron size turned into $LiMn_{11/6}Al_{1/6}O_4$ powders with micron size and regular morphology after post-treatment above $800^{\circ}C$. The $LiMn_{11/6}Al_{1/6}O_4$ powders had low initial discharge capacity of 94 mAh/g at a post-treatment temperature of $700^{\circ}C$. As the post-temperature increased from $750^{\circ}C$ to $1,000^{\circ}C$, the initial discharge capacities of the $LiMn_{11/6}Al_{1/6}O_4$ powders changed from 103 to 117 mAh/g. The $LiMn_{11/6}Al_{1/6}O_4$ powders had the maximum discharge capacity at a post-treatment temperature of $750^{\circ}C$. However, the $LiMn_{11/6}Al_{1/6}O_4$ powders post-treated at a temperature of $900^{\circ}C$ had the good cycle properties. The discharge capacities of the $LiMn_{11/6}Al_{1/6}O_4$ powders dropped from 107 to 100 mAh/g (93% capacity retention) by the 70th cycle at a current density of 0.1 C.

The purpose of this study was to determine if vitamin B-2 and vitamin B-6 deficiency affects hematologic profile in vivo. Rats were fed a vitamin B-2 deficient (-B2) diet or a vitamin B-6 deficient (- B6) diet or a combined vitamin B-2 and vitamin B-6 deficient (-B2-B6) diet or a control diet for 6 weeks. Hematocrit (Ht), hemoglobin (Hb), plasma iron (PI), transferrin saturation (TS) and liver iron concentration (LI) were compared. In -B2 rats vs. control rats, PI, TS and LI were significantly lower but Ht and Hb were not. In - B6 rats vs. control, Ht and Hb were significanty lower but LI was higher. The -B2-B6 rats had intermediate effects in Hb, PI, TS and LI and a decrease in Ht. The repletion with a contro diet for 2 weeks resulted in significant improvements in hematologic indices and LI in both - B2 rats and - B6 rats. This study suggests that the intakes of vitamin B-2 and vitamin B-6 are important for preventive and therap\ulcornereutic approaches to improve the hematologic status in nutritionally anemic groups.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects on labor pain and duration of delivery time for primipara women treated by San-Yin-Jiao(SP-6) and Hob-Gog(LI-4) acupressure. The design of this study was a nonequivalent control group non-synchronizedpost test only design. It was done to identify the effects of SP-6 acupressure or LI-4 acupressure on labor pain in primipara women. The benefits of using SP-6 acupressure or LI-4 acupressure were evaluated by comparing three groups, a SP-6 acupressure group, a LI-4 acupressure group and a control group, not treated with acupressure. The participants included 192 primiparas who underwent vaginal delivery, 72 primiparas in the control group, 71 in the SP-6 acupressure group and 49 in the LI-4 acupressure group. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire consisting of general characteristics, a subjective labor pain scale (Johnson, 1974), and measurement of duration of delivery time. The results of this study are summarized as follows : 1. Differences in the acupressure effect for SP-6 and LI-4 were analyzed using Scheffe's test which showed that differences in the control group vs the SP-6 group and the control group vs the LI-4 group were statistically significant (t=21.767, p<0.05; t=23.923, p<0.05), but the SP-6 group vs the LI-4 group showed no significant differences. 2. The duration of delivery time in the group which had SP-6 acupressure or LI-4 acupressure was shorter (400.77${\pm}$153.34; 379.10${\pm}$127.60) than in the control group (528.68${\pm}$239.08). Differences in the effects of acupressure with SP-6 and LI-4 were also analyzed by Scheffe's test. Control group vs SP-6 group and Control group vs LI-4 group were significantly different(t=127.91, p<0.05; t=149.58, p<0.05), but the SP-6 group vs the LI-4 group did not show any statistically significant difference (t=21.67). This study has shown that SP-6 and LI-4 acupressure were both effective in relation to labor pain and duration of delivery time for primiparas. But it is necessary to replicate the study with a larger number of participants to generalize of the results.

The fundamental conditions for growing $CsLiB_{6}O_{10}$ crystal, new nonlinear optical material, were investigated. Stoichiometirc mixture of $CsLiB_{6}O_{10}$ composition resulted in the crystal of the same composition in the process of heating at the temperature above $600^{\circ}C$. No phase transition was observed in the $CsLiB_{6}O_{10}$ crystal in the temperature range of $600^{\circ}C~800^{\circ}C$, and $CsLiB_{6}O_{10}$ crystal melted congruently at $850^{\circ}C$. When the melt of this composition was cooled at rates of $1~150^{\circ}C/hr$, glass state ingot was formed regardless of cooling rates. However, $CsLiB_{6}O_{10}$ crystals were formed directly from the melt at any cooling rate in the presence of $CsLiB_{6}O_{10}$ seed crystal in the melt. Transparent $CsLiB_{6}O_{10}$ single crystal was grown from the melt using the seed crystal at the growing rate of 0.06 mm/hr in the furnace having the temperature gradient of $100^{\circ}C/cm$. Analysis of the single crystal showed that the crystal belonged to the noncentrosymmetric tetragonal space group 142d and unit cell dimensions were $a=10.467(1)\;{\AA},\;c=8.972(1)\;{\AA}\;and\;V=983.0(2)\;{\AA}^3$. Optical absorption edge of the crystal was observed at 180mm and the crystal showed a good optical transparency (70% transmittance, sample thickness 0.5 mm) in the wide wavelength range above 300 nm.

The performance of The performance of $Li/V_6O_{13}$ cell and the electrochemical properties of polymer electrolyte based on poly(acrylonitrile)[PAN] was investigated. The ionic conductivity of polymer electrolyte showed $2.3{\times}10^{-3}S/cm$ and the compatibility with lithium electrode was excellent. Also, it showed the electrochemical stability up to 4.3V(vs. $Li^+/Li$). The cell reaction of $Li/V_6O_{13}$ was dominated by the interfacial resistance between $V_6O_{13}$ electrode and polymer electrolyte. The diffusion coefficient of lithium ion within $V_6O_{13}$ was $2.7{\times}10^{-9}{\sim}4.2{\times}10^{-8}cm^2/sec$. The utilization of $V_6O_{13}$ active material was 95% at C/8($50{\mu}A/cm^2$) and 82% at C/4($100{\mu}A/cm^2$), respectively.

Hot rolling of Mg-6Zn-0.6Zr-0.4Ag-0.2Ca-(0, 8 wt%)Li powder was conducted at the temperature of $300^{\circ}C$ by putting the powder into the Cu pipe. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the samples were observed. Mg-6Zn-0.6Zr-0.4Ag-0.2Ca without Li element was consisted of ${\alpha}$ phase and precipitates. The microstructure of the 8 wt%Li containing alloy consisted of two phases (${\alpha}$-Mg phase and ${\beta}$-Li phase). In addition, $Mg_2Zn_3Li$ was formed in 8%Li added Mg-6Zn-0.6Zr-0.4Ag-0.2Ca alloy. By addition of the Li element, the non-basal planes were expanded to the rolling direction, which was different from the based Mg alloy without Li. The tensile strength was gradually decreased from 357.1 MPa to 264 MPa with increasing Li addition from 0% to 8%Li. However, the elongation of the alloys was remarkably increased from 10 % to 21% by addition of the Li element to 8%. It is clearly considered that the non-basal texture and ${\beta}$ phase contribute to the increase of elongation and formability.

[ $Li_3AlH_6$ ] (5.6wt% theoretical hydrogen storage capacity) powders with and without Ti-containing dopants have been successfully synthesized by mechanochemical reaction near room temperatures from mixtures of LiH and $LiAlH_4$ powders. It has been observed that single phase $Li_3AlH_6$ could be obtained within 2-3 hours of milling, but the addition of reactive $TiCl_2\;or\;TiCl_3$ to the starting mixtures. caused partial decomposition of $LiAlH_4$ into LiCl and free Al with gaseous $H_2$. By addition of these reactive dopants to the as-synthesized $Li_3AlH_6$, this problem could be solved. The addition of 2 mol% $TiCl_2\;or\;TiCl_3\;to\;Li_3AlH_6$ decreased the decomposition start temperature up to 30-50$^{\circ}C$, while that of Ti or $TiH_2$ did not change the thermal decomposition behavior of $Li_3AIH_6$.
