Powder samples of natural lawsonite (Ca-lawsonite, $CaAl_2Si_2O_7(OH)_2{\cdot}H_2O$) was studied structurally up to 8 GPa at room temperature using monochromatic synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction and a diamond anvil cell (DAC) with a methanol : ethanol : water (16 : 3 : 1 by volume) mixture solution as a penetrating pressure transmitting medium (PTM). Upon pressure increase, lawsonite does not show any apparent pressure induced expansion (PIE) or phase transition. Pressure-volume data were fitted to a second-order Birch-Murnaghan equation of state using a fixed pressure derivative of 4 leading to a bulk modulus ($B_0$) of 146(6) GPa. This compression is further characterized to be isotropic with calculated linear compressibilities of ${\beta}^a=0.0022GPa^{-1}$, ${\beta}^b=0.0024GPa^{-1}$, and ${\beta}^c=0.0020GPa^{-1}$.

The composites were fabricated respectively 61vol.% ${\beta}$-SiC and 39vol.% $TiB_2$ spray-dried powders with the liquid forming additives of 12wt% $Al_2O_3+Y_2O_3$ by pressureless annealing at $1700^{\circ}C,\;1750^{\circ}C\;1800^{\circ}C$ for 4 hours. The result of phase analysis of composites by XRD revealed ${\alpha}$-SiC(6H), $TiB_2$, and YAG($Al_5Y_3O_{12}$) crystal phase. The relative density, the Young's modulus and fracture toughness showed respectively the highest value of 92.97%, 92.88Gpa and $4.4Mpa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$ for composites by pressureless annealing temperature $1700^{\circ}C$ at room temperature. The electrical resistivity showed the lowest value of $8.09{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ for composite by pressureless annealing tempe rature $1700^{\circ}C$ at $25^{\circ}C$. The electrical resistivity of the SiC-$TiB_2$ composites was all positive temperature cofficient resistance (PTCR) in the temperature ranges from $25^{\circ}C$ to $700^{\circ}C$.

1. Objectives The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the enzyme activity of Palmulgunja-tang with administered orally solution on cytochrome P450 isozyme 2. Methods This study was carried on through following methods. We treated the rat with the {3-naphthoflavone (${\beta}NF$) of 80mg/kg for 3 days i.p injection. Firstable, microsomal protein was separated and total intracellular protein test was done. Then GOT and GPT were measured and assay of cytochrome P450 IAI/2 enzyme activity was performed according to the method of EROD and MROD. (Ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase(EROD) activity was used to measure cytochrome P450 lAI activity and methoxyresorufin O-demethylase(MROD) activity was used to measure cytochrome P450 lA2 activity. ) 3. Results and Conclusions 1) PGT recovered the liver damage on ${\beta}NF$ inducible CYP IAI/2 by pre-post and high-low condition. 2) At concentration of post-treated 50mg!kg of PGT, the inhibiting of $\betaNF$ metabolites to liver of rat cytochrome P450 lAl was inhibited by 53.0% respectively. 3) PGT showed 36.0% inhibition of ${\beta}NF$-induced lA2 activity at the concentration post-treated 50mg/kg.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of solution treatment on the corrosion behavior of Mg-8%Al-(0-1)%Zn casting alloys in 1M NaCl aqueous solution. After the solution treatment, all alloys showed single ${\alpha}$-(Mg) phase microstructure by dissolution of ${\beta}(Mg_{17}Al_{12})$ phase into the ${\alpha}$-(Mg) matrix. The $H_2$ evolution volume decreased with an increase in Zn content, which indicates that the addition of Zn plays a beneficial role in decreasing corrosion rate of the Mg-Al-Zn alloy in solution-treated state. The microstructural evaluations on the corrosion products and corroded surfaces after the immersion test in 1 M NaCl solution revealed that the incorporation of more $Al_2O_3$ and ZnO into the corrosion product, by which the penetration of $Cl^-$ ions is impeded, are thought to be responsible for the better corrosion resistance in relation with the Zn addition.

$eta$-Sialon synthesis was investigated via the simultaneous reduction and nitridation of Hadong Pink Kaolin using the graphite as a reducing agent at 135$0^{\circ}C$ under 80% $N_2-20%H_2$ atmosphere. When Hadong Pink Kaolin-graphite-silicon nitride seed(molar ratio ; $SiO_2:C:Si_3N_4$=1;3.5:0.05) mixture was heated at 135$0^{\circ}C$ for as long as 20h in 80%$N_2-20%H_2$ atmosphere a homogeneous $eta$-Sialon$(Si_{3.5}Al_{2.5}O_{2.5}N_{2.5})$ was mainly formed together with a small amount of $\alpha$-$Si_3N_4$.

Catalytic performances of zeolite catalysts such as H-mordenite(HM), H-Beta$(H{\beta})$, H-USY(HUSY) for the transmethylation between 1-methylnaphthalene(1-MN) and 2-methylnaphthalene(2-MN) were investigated in a fixed-bed flow reactor. $H{\beta}$ showed higher and more stable conversion than others to exhibit a high and stable 2-MN/1-MN ratio of 2.3 and 2,6-DMN/2,7-DMN ratio of 1.3 at the $1^{st}$ hour of time on stream under the reaction conditions as follows: reaction temperature of $350^{\circ}C$, reaction pressure of 1.5 MPa, WHSV of $2.7g_{feed}/g_{cat}{\cdot}h$ and the molar ratio of 1-MN and 2-MN of 1:1. The catalytic behavior has been discussed in relation with the catalyst pore structure and acidity.

Compacts of a mixture of fine $\alpha$-Si$_3$N$_4$powders, 6% $Y_2$O$_3$and 1% $Al_2$O$_3$were attrition milled time on phase and microstructural development in silicon nitride ceramics. The sintered surface and the interior showed different behaviors in phase and microstructral developments. Increased oxygen content with increased milling time of powder mixture leads to the formation of Si$_2$$N_2$O phase at temperatures as low as 155$0^{\circ}C$. Si$_2$$N_2$O is stable in the interior of the samples but unstable in the surface region of the specimen sintered at higher temperature. This results in a duplex structure where the interior consists of Si$_2$$N_2$O grains dispersed in $\beta$-Si$_3$N$_4$matrix and a surface which contains only $\beta$-Si$_3$N$_4$. The alpha to beta phase transformation and the microstructural development are shown to be influenced by the formation and decomposition of the Si$_2$$N_2$O.

Silicon carbide with sialon was prepared by hot pressing and transient liquid-phase sintering, and the effects of sintering atmosphere and starting phases on their microstructural characteristics were investigated. The sintered SiC with Sialon composition(Y2O3, AlN, Si3N4) in argon atmosphere had high sintered density and large aspect ratio. But sintered specimens in nitrogen atmosphere showed low aspect ratio and small grian size, becuase of the retardation of phase transformation and grain growth. Addition of Y-Sialon powder to SiC also retarded the phase transformation to ${\alpha}$-SiC from ${\beta}$-SiC and densification. The SiC specimen prepared from the starting ${\beta}$-SiC powder with Sialon composition(Y2O3, AlN, Si3N4) showed the highest fracture toughness about 6.0 MPa$.$m1/2.

We investigated the tribochemical and wear properties of Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) based polymer matrix composites with nanoceramic (NC) ${\beta}$-sialon, and $Al_2O_3$ particles for the mechanical seal applications at low temperature. SEM showed that NC particles were homogeneously distributed in the polymer matrix and initiated the formation of the supramolecular spherulites around NC. From the temperature stimulated depolarization (TSD) current results, it was analyzed that the surface charge on nanoceramic affected the formation of the spherulites structure. 2 wt % $Al_2O_3$ NC did not degrade the mechanical properties of PTFE so that composites showed the similar values of tensile strength, elongation at the rupture and friction coefficient as those of neat PTFE. However, the composite with 2 wt % $Al_2O_3$ NC revealed the improved wear resistance, wear rate of 0.4-1.2 mg/h at room temperature and 0.28 mg/h at $-40^{\circ}C$, respectively, while the neat PTFE the 70-75 mg/h at room temperature and 70.3 mg/h at $-40^{\circ}C$.
