Dry weight, and mineral content in leaves, stems, and roots of the ginseng plant (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) were investigated. The highest T/R ratio, 0.52, was observed in a four year old plant due to a vigorous growth of the plant at this age. Also the dry weight increase was rather higher in the younger root than the older one. Mineral content of the plant was rather higher in the younger root than the older one. Potassium content in leaves and stems was higher than those of nitrogen and phosphorus. Generally, the leaves contained more iron and manganese than any other micronutrients. The iron content amounted to $1,000{\sim}2,000ppm$ in leaves. Zinc content was higher in stems and leaves than roots especially in stems of the younger roots. Total amount of the up-taken N, $P_2O_5$, and $K_2O$ per 10a in six years was 10.2kg, 2.3kg and 14.9kg respectively, indicating the considerable abounts of $K_2O$ was absorbed.

We have investigated the L $i_{1+x}$M $n_2$ $O_4$system as a cathode material for lithium rechargeable batteries. To improve the cycle performance of spinel LiM $n_2$ $O_4$ as the cathode of 4V class lithium secondary batteries, spinel phase L $i_{1+x}$M $n_2$ $O_4$(x=0, 0.025, 0.05, 0.075) was prepared at 75$0^{\circ}C$ for 48h. The preparation of L $i_{1+x}$M $n_2$ $O_4$ from L $i_2$ $O_3$ and Mn $O_2$ under air is studied. The compounds were synthesized by using solid-state reaction. Structural refinements were carried out with a Rietveld-refinement program. Electrochemical properties were examined using the Li/L $i_{1+x}$M $n_2$ $O_4$ cells. The capacity of L $i_{1+x}$M $n_2$ $O_4$ decreases with increases lithium content, while the cycle life improves. The initial discharge capacity are 118mAh/g and 116mAh/g for LiM $n_2$ $O_4$ decreases with increases lithium content, while the cycle life improves. The initial discharge capacity are 118mAh/g and 116mAh/g for LiM $n_2$ $O_4$ and L $i_{1.025}$M $n_2$ $O_4$, respectively.pectively.

t-$ZrO_2/Al_2O_3$composites having a superior biocompatability and phase stability were prepared by adding 0~4 mol% of $Eu_2O_3$and sintered for 1 h at $1600^{\circ}C$ to evaluate phase stability, chromaticity and mechanical properties of the composites. No tetragonal to monoclinic phase transformation was observed for the composites containing $Eu_2O_3$after heat treatment for 20 h at $180^{\circ}C$ under 3.5 MPa water vapor pressure condition. As $Eu_2O_3$content increased, the color of the composites was changed from a slight white ivory to a light pink. The strength and the fracture toughness of the composites containing $Eu_2O_3$were above 620 MPa and 7.6 MPa.$m^{1/2}$, respectively, when $Eu_2O_3$was added up to 3 mol%.

Kinetic study on the cleavage of N-methylphthalamic acid (NMPA) in mixed acidic aqueous-acetonitrile solvent reveals the formation of both phthalic anhydride (PAn) (through O-cyclization) and N-methylphthalimide (NMPT) (through N-cyclization). The formation of NMPT varies from $\sim$20% to $\sim$3% with the increase in the content of acetonitrile from 2 to 70% v/v. Pseudo first-order rate constants for the formation of PAn are more than 4-fold larger than those for the formation of NMPT at 2% v/v $CH_3CN$ in mixed aqueous solvents. Pseudo first-order rate constants for alkaline hydrolysis of NMPT reveal a nonlinear decrease with increase in the content of $CH_3CN$ in mixed aqueous solvents.

The effects of Ni²⁺ substitution for Mg²⁺-sites on the microwave dielectric properties of (Mg_1-xNi_x)(Ti_0.95(Mg_1/3Ta_2/3)_0.05)O₃ (0.01 ≤ x ≤ 0.05) (MNTMT) ceramics were investigated. MNTMT ceramics were prepared by conventional solid-state reaction. When the MgO / TiO₂ ratio was changed from 1.00 to 1.02, MgTi₂O₅ was detected as a secondary phase along with the MgTiO₃ main phase in the MNTMT specimens sintered at 1,400 ℃ for 4h. For the MNTMT specimens with MgO / TiO₂ = 1.07 sintered at 1,400 ℃ for 4h, a single phase of MgTiO₃ with an ilmenite structure was obtained from the entire range of compositions. The relative density of all the specimens sintered at 1,400 ℃ for 4h was higher than 95 %. The quality factor (Qf) of the sintered specimens depended strongly on the degree of covalency of the specimens, and the sintered specimens with x = 0.01 showed the maximum Qf value of 489,400 GHz. The dielectric constant (K) decreased with increasing Ni²⁺ content because Ni²⁺ had a lower dielectric polarizability (1.23ų) than Mg²⁺ (1.32ų). As Ni²⁺ content increased, the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (TCF) improved, from -55.56 to -21.85 ppm/℃, due to the increase in tolerance factor (t) and the lower dielectric constant (K).

The Sulfur-Iodine (SI) thermochemical hydrogen production process of a closed cycle consists of three sections, which are so called the Bunsen reaction section, the $H_2SO_4$ decomposition section and the HI decomposition section. To identify the role of oxygen that can be supplied to the Bunsen reaction section via the $H_2SO_4$ decomposition section, Bunsen reactions with a $SO_2,\;SO_2-O_2$ mixture and $SO_2-N_2$ mixture as feed gases were carried out using a stirred reactor in the presence of $I_2/H_2O$ mixture. As the results, the amounts of $I_2$ unreacted under the feed of mixture gases were higher than those under the feed of $SO_2$ gas only, and the amount of HI produced was relatively decreased. The results of Bunsen reaction using $SO_2-O_2$ mixture were similar to those using $SO_2-N_2$ mixture. It may be concluded that an oxygen in $SO_2-O_2$ mixture has a role as a carrier gas like a nitrogen in $SO_2-N_2$ mixture. The effects of oxygen were decreased with increasing temperature and decreasing oxygen content in $SO_2-O_2$ mixture.

Porous glass in the ZrO2-SiO2 system containing up to 30 mol% zirconia were prepared from the mixed solutions of Zr(O.nC3H7)4 and partially prehydrolyzed TEOS by the sol-gel method. Pore characteristics, physical properties and alkali resistance were investigated. The gels converted into the porous glass by heating at $700^{\circ}C$, it was found that the glass like skeleton was already made up in lower temperature regions. The specific surface area of the porous glass was 227 $m^2$/g, average mean pore size was about 19$\AA$ and porosity was 19.2%, pore characteristics and physical properties depended on heating temperature. Alkali resistance of the porous glass increased as the zirconia content increased, because of the appearance of Zr-enriched layer at glass surface.

Mullite-PSZ powders were synthesized by the sol-gel process using Al(sec-OC4H9)3, Si(OC2H5)4, ZrOCl2$.$8H2O and YCl3 solution and the characteristics of synthesized powders were studied. The sinterability and mechanical properties of powder compacts sintered at 1670$^{\circ}C$ for 4hr were also studied for various PSZ contents. ${\gamma}$-Al2O3(Al-Si spinel) formed at 980$^{\circ}C$ from amorphous dried gel, and mullite as well as ZrO2 formed above 1200$^{\circ}C$. At the room temperature, ZrO2 was a mixture of tetragonal and monoclinic phases. The specimens were densified to 97∼98% except the specimen containing 25 vol% PSZ which showed the relative density of 94%. The K1c value increased with the PSZ content and showed a maximum value of 4.1 MN/m3/2 at 25 vol% PSZ; this value was about 50% higher than that of the mullite without PSZ. Flexural strength had a maximum value of 280 Mn/㎡ at 20 vol% PSZ. In contrast, at 25 vol%, the flexural strength was even lower than that of the mullite possibly due to higher porosity of 6%.

Experimental results on the effect of $SiO_2$ addition to Bi based ZnO varistor show that secondary phases in microstructure and nonlinear coefficient are increased, and that leakage current is decreased with $SiO_2$ additive content. The varistor with 0.1 mol%-$SiO_2$ additive exhibits lower resistive current than other specimen at ($E_{1mA}$ x 0.6) applied voltage and temperature of $115^{\circ}C$ for 350h.
