The efflorescence mechanism of ceramic bodies with different sintering temperature was studied by quantitative analysis for the effect of various metal ions and anions. SEM and EDS characterization for efflorescence formed on the surface of the ceramic body showed that the main components of the efflorescence were Ca and S atoms. Leaching concentrations of various metal ions and anions for the ceramic bodies prepared by wet mixing with pH 7 and pH 10 were evaluated by ICP and IC analysis. The results of leaching test showed that the concentration of Ca ion at pH 7 body was eight times more than that of pH 10 body. Ca-rich efflorescence was not formed on the surface of ceramic body which prepared at pH 10 and sintered over $1100^{\circ}C$.

This study is to investigate the effect of various temperature and humidity conditions on the strength and efflorescence of alkali activated slag cement(AAS) using the red mud. As a result of examining the strength and efflorescence characteristics of AAS mixed with red mud according to the curing conditions, The compressive strength and flexural strength were the highest at 28 days, but the absorption rate, efflorescence area and soluble $Na^+$ elution were lowest in standard wet curing compared to the air curing, high temperature curing and low temperature curing.

During the period of 1975∼77, a survey and an investigation were carried out to estimate the frequency of lime-chlorosis in the natural vegetation in Korea and the relationships between plants and calcareous soils. The symptoms of lime-chlorosis were observed in flowering plants in the calcareous areas of Weonju (I, II), Yeongweol(I, II), Jecheon, Danyang and Samcheok. Although the species found to be lime-chlorotic on at least one occasion numbered 60, the total quantity of lime-chlorotic foliage observed was small. Severe lime-chlorosis of Capsicuym annuum in agricultural fields was found out at Danyang. However, some of the species which were of widespread occurrence in affected areas showed no lime-chlorosis. The comparison of the inorganic components in calcareous soils in lime-chlorotic and normal leaves showed that the essential mineral nutrients substantially less soluble in water in alkaline than in acid conditions and calcifuges planted on calcareous soils often show visual signs resembling those of P or Fe deficiency.

Whitening phenomena of the EPDM composites with different inorganic filler compositions which were aged at $90^{\circ}C$ for 7 days in air and tap water atmospheres, respectively, were investigated. The aged samples in tap water containing stearic acid exhibited severe whitening phenomena, while all the samples aged in air did not show any whitening. Depending on the filler compositions, there was no big difference in the whitening phenomena. The whitening materials were analyzed using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS), image analysis, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR). The whitening materials were identified to be salts of stearic acid. The salts of stearic acid were formed by reaction of metal cation in tap water and stearic acid in the sample.

Red mud is an inorganic by-product obtained from the mineral processing of alumina from Bauxite ores. A highly alkali inorganic waste product with a pH level over 11, red mud in its original state negatively impacts the ecosystem, so appropriate treatment is necessary. The development of alkali activated slag-red mud cement can be a representative study aimed at recycling the strong alkali of the red mud as a construction material. However, Alkali-activated binders that use sodium activators have been reported to be more vulnerable to efflorescence. Therefore, in this study, the compressive strength, pore characteristics, water absorption, elution characteristics, and efflorescence properties of alkali-activated slag cement mortar were assessed according to their red mud substitution ratio.

The albinic phenomenon of flat-fish (Paralichthys olivaceus) was investigated by measuring protein content, tyrosinase activity, amino acid composition, and contents of vitamin A and C. These materials in the flat-fish feed-stuff were also tested. The amount of skin protein was higher than that of muscle in normal flat-fish. Catechol and L-dopa oxidase activity did not differ between normal and albinic flat-fish. The free amino acid of skin in normal flat-fish was 7.5 times that in albinic one. Sulfur-containing amino acid in normal flat-fish was also 6.3 times that in albinic ones. Vitamin A was not detected in both of flat-fish. The content of vitamin C in normal flat-fish was 7.8 times that in albinic one. The contents of protein, sulfur-containing amino acid and vitamin C in micro-encapsulated feed (one commercial feed in Japan) were the highest among the feed-stuff used in this experiment. The melanin formation of flat-fish skin was affected by substrates such as aromatic amino acid and cofactor such as sulfur amino acid.
