The structural changes of $Li_{1-x}Ni_{0.5}Co_{0.2}Mn_{0.3}O_2$ cathode material for lithium ion battery during the first charge was investigated in comparison with $Li_{1-x}Ni_{0.8}Co_{0.15}Al_{0.05}O_2$ using a synchrotron based in situ X-ray diffraction technique. The structural changes of these two cathode materials show similar trend during first charge: an expansion along the c-axis of the unit cell with contractions along the a- and b-axis during the early stage of charge and a major contraction along the c-axis with slight expansions along the a- and b-axis near the end of charge at high voltage limit. In $Li_{1-x}Ni_{0.5}Co_{0.2}Mn_{0.3}O_2$ cathode, however, the initial unit cell volume of H2 phase is bigger than that of H1 phase since the c-axis undergo large expansion while a- and b- axis shrink slightly. The change in the unit cell volume for $Li_{1-x}Ni_{0.5}Co_{0.2}Mn_{0.3}O_2$ during charge is smaller than that of $Li_{1-x}Ni_{0.8}Co_{0.15}Al_{0.05}O_2$. This smaller change in unit cell volume may give the $Li_{1-x}Ni_{0.5}Co_{0.2}Mn_{0.3}O_2$ cathode material a better structural reversibility for a long cycling life.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to assess the use of Korean medicine for treating radial nerve palsy. Methods : We searched for studies on the use of Korean medicine for the treatment of radial nerve palsy in 7 electronic databases and analyzed these studies. Results : We found 95 studies on radial nerve palsy from 7 electronic databases. We excluded 77 duplicate studies, 1 review article and 2 studies published before 2000. As a result, 15 case studies(36 patients) were included. Acupuncture(15 times), electroacupuncture(6 times), pharmacopuncture(9 times), herbal medicine(11 times), physical therapy(10 times), moxibustion(3 times), cupping therapy(1 time), chuna manual therapy(1 time) and yinyang balancing appliance(1 time) were used. LI11 for acupuncture, LI4, LI11 for electroacupuncture, bee venom as pharmacopuncture material and LI4, LI10, LI11 in pharmacopuncture point, Boik-tang gami as herbal medicine, hot pack for physical therapy, LI4, LI11 for moxibustion were the most frequently used. Conclusions : Korean medicine treatment for radial nerve palsy has been performed in various ways. However, we found limited evidence regarding Korean medicine for radial nerve palsy. Thus, we think various types of studies including more case reports, for radial nerve palsy should be performed in the future.

Dielectric heating materials were prepared through the thermal treatment for composites of Li and Zn type precursors that are major materials being responded to microwave under diversified conditions. The prepared heating material samples were analyzed by SEM and it was confirmed that $Li_5Fe_5O_8$ materials being formed on the surface was a major influencing factor for the heating performance. Heating materials improved the moisture removal in a sludge drying facility, for example, the moisture content of 25 v/v% sludge decreased to 15.22 v/v%. Accordingly, heating materials were confirmed to directly affect the performance and efficiency of the microwave drying process.

In this study, shoreline change was analyzed by RTK-GPS and advanced airborne LiDAR survey. For extraction of coastline, first of all, tide correction was conducted at all RTK-GPS points through the comparing with the corresponding tidal height, and cross section providing coastline was produced using Autocad Civil3D program. Comparing with two results of RTK-GPS (first, 29 Aug 2007; second, 6 Oct 2007) surveys, coastline of the first result had been decreased about 21m compare with that of the second. And it was also demonstrated that the length of coastline by the first RTK-GPS was 15m shorter than that by the airborne LiDAR survey (Dec. 2006). In addition, we recoquized that the erosion appeared in the top right-hand (dock area); the sediment in the bottom left-hand (Chosun beach area) of the Haeundae beach. As a result, therefore, it was learned that artificial sand filling for beach open and natural effects such as a typhoon, current drift, wind direction gave cause for area changes and coastline.

The $LiMn_{1.5}Ni_{0.5}O_4$, substituting a part of Mn with Ni in the $LiMn_2O_4$, the spinel structure has good charge-discharge cycle stability and high discharge capacity at 4.7 V. In this study $LiMn_{1.5}Ni_{0.5}O_4$ powders were synthesized by polymerization complex method. The effect on the characteristics of synthesized $LiMn_{1.5}Ni_{0.5}O_4$ powders was studied with citric acid (CA) : metal ion (ME) molar ratio (5 : 1, 10 : 1, 15 : 1, 30 : 1) and calcination temperature ($500{\sim}900^{\circ}C$). Single phase of $LiMn_{1.5}Ni_{0.5}O_4$ was observed from XRD analysis on the powders calcined at low ($500^{\circ}C$) and high temperatures ($900^{\circ}C$). The crystalline size and crystallinity increased with calcination temperature. At low calcination temperature the particle size decreased and specific surface area increased as the CA molar ratio increased. On the other hand, high particle growth rate at high calcination temperature interfered the particle size reduction and specific surface area increase induced by the increase of CA molar ratio.

The superstructured $Li_{4/3}Ti_{5/3}O_4$ was prepared by sol-gel process using a mixed solution of lithium acetate (LA) and titanium n-butoxide (TNB). The gel phase was obtained by adding ammonia water ($NH_4OH/TNB$ mole ratio of 0.35) and water ($H_2O/TNH$ mole ratio of 3.5) into the clear sol that was prepared after mixing TNB/LA mole ratio of 5/4 with AA/TNB mole raio of 0.125. It was found that the most suitable $Li_{4/3}Ti_{5/3}O_4$ was obtained by heat treatment of xerogel at $600^{\circ}C$ for 30 hrs. The synthesized $Li_{4/3}Ti_{5/3}O_4$ showed an initial discharge capacity of 174 mAh/g and the capacity loss of about 27.3% during 25 cycles in Li/1M $LiClO_4(in\;PC)/Li_{4/3}Ti_{5/3}O_4$ at current density of $0.15mA/cm^2$ and the voltage range of 0.5~3.0 V.

[ $Li[Co_{0.50}Li_{0.17}Mn_{0.33}]O_2$ ] powder was prepared using a simple combustion method. specially, ratio of 2:1, 3:2, 1:1, 2:3, 1:2 was adopted as acetate source/nitrate source. The diffraction pattern of $Li[Co_{0.50}Li_{0.17}Mn_{0.33}]O_2$ powder showed that this compound could be classified as hexagonal $a-NaFeO_2$ structure (space group : $R\bar{3}m$). The size of powder was less than $1{\mu}m$. Small particle size of cathode powder would give a good ionic and electronic conductivity to cathode electrode, which made of cathode powder. As the increase of nitrate source-ratio, discharge capacity of $Li[Co_{0.50}Li_{0.17}Mn_{0.33}]O_2$ at high charge-discharge rate was increased. When the ratio of acetate source/nitrate source was 1:2, discharge capacity at 10 C rate (2000 mA/g) was 180 mAh/g. It was $10{\sim}15%$ larger than that of powder, which have 2:1 as acetate source/nitrate ratio.

The purpose of this study is to research and develop $Li_xV_3O_8$ composite cathode for lithium polymer battery. We investigated electrochemical, interfacial properties and charge/discharge cycling of $Li_xV_3O_8$/SPE/Li cell. The radius of semicircle associated with the interfacial resistance of $Li_xV_3O_8$/SPE/Li cell increased very slowly during discharge process from 100% SOC to 90% SOC. And then the cell resistance was increased at discharge process from 10% SOC to 0% SOC. The discharge capacity based on $Li_xV_3O_8$ was 212mAh/g at 15th cycle. The $Li_xV_3O_8$/SPE/Li cell has a good properties.
