In this paper, in order to develop the low temperature sintering ceramics for multilayer piezoelectric transformer, $Pb[(Mn_{1/3},Nb_{2/3})_{0.07}(Zn_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})_a(Zr_{0.48}Ti_{0.52})_{1-0.07-a}O_3]$ ceramics were manufactured with the variations of PZN from 2 to 14mol% and their dielectric and piezoelectric properties were investigated. Sintering temperature was varied from 910 to $1000^{\circ}C$. At 8mol% PZN substituted specimen sintered at $970^{\circ}C$, electromechanical coupling factor(kp), mechanical quality factor(Qm), dielectric constant and peizoelectric constant($d_{33}$) showed the optimal values of 0.536, 1803, 1551 and 328[pC/N), respectively, for multilayer piezoelectric transformer application.

Using by the x-ray diffractometry(XRD), the thermomagnetic analysis(TMA), a scanning electron microscopy (SEM-EDX), we knew that the $(Sm_{0.5}RE_{0.5})Fe_{11}Ti$ (RE=Ce,Pr,Nd,Sm,Gd,Tb) compounds were formed to tetragonal $ThMn_{12}$-type structure having a uniaxial magnetocrystalline anisotropy with easy magnetization c-axis. The intrinsic magnetic properties of those were determined by fitting the two magnetization curves of experimental and calculation magnetization. The anisotropy constant $K_{1}$ of this compounds was in the range of $1.75\;-\;9.2\;MJ/m^{3}$ and approximately one order higher than $K_{2}$. $SmFe_{11}Ti$ had the highest anisotropy of $K_{1}\;=\;9.2\;MJ/m^{3}$, $K_{2}\;=\;0.4\;MJ/m^{3}$ and ${\mu}_{o}H_{A}=\;19.8\;T$ among the compounds, substitution of any other rare earth elements for Sm decreased magnetocrystalline anisotropy.

In this study, the improvement of the operation condition and the water quality in water treatment plant by operating information system(OIS) was evaluated for Ansan water treatment plant. The average flow rate of raw water in the year 2005(after constructing the OIS) appeared 15.6 % lower than that in the year 2004(before constructing the OIS). The mean value(12.37 NTU) of raw water turbidity in the year 2005 remained constant, or nearly so with that(12.06 NTU) in the year 2004. The average dosing rates of coagulant appeared 12.06 mg/L in the year 2005 which was higher than 10.31 mg/L in the year 2004. Furthermore, the average turbidity concentration of fresh water in the year 2005 appcared slightly better than that in the year 2004. From $COD_{Mn}$ and BOD concentration of raw water, the water quality in the year 2005 were better than those in the year 2004. The average concentration of $KMnO_4$ in the year 2004 and the year 2005 was 2.95 mg/L and 1.25 mg/L, respectively, and the average concentration of THMs in the year 2004 and the year 2005 appeared 0.038 mg/L and 0.025 mg/L, respectively. Therefore, the fresh water quality in the year 2005 was better than that in the year 2004. In this study, it is considered that the operation of Ansan water treatment plant may be optimized by OIS, and thus the OIS may be very useful method to improve the water quality.

In recent days, fuel cell has received attention from the world as an alternative power source to hydrocarbon used in automobile engines. With the industrial advances of fuel cell, There have been a lot of researches actively conducted to find a way of generating hydrogen. Among many hydrogen production methods, Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cell(SOEC) is not only a basic way but also environment-friendly method to produce hydrogen gas. Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cell has lower electrical energy demands and high thermal efficiency since it is possible to operate under high temperature and high pressure conditions. For these reasons, experimental researches as well as studies on numerical modeling for Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cell have been under way. However, studies on numerical modeling are relatively less enough than experimental accomplishments and have limited performance prediction, which mostly is considered as a result from inadequate effects of electrochemical properties by temperature and pressure. In this study, various experimental studies of commercial Membrane Electrode Assembly (MEA) composed of Ni-YSZ (40wt%, Ni-60 wt% YSZ)/8-YSZ (TOSOH, TZ8Y)/LSM (La_0.9Sr_0.1MnO₃) was utilized for improving effectiveness of SOEC model. After numerically analyzing effects of electrochemical properties according to operating temperature, causing the largest deviation between experiments and simulation are that Charge Transfer Coefficient (CTC), exchange current density, diffusion coefficient, electrical conductivity in SOEC. Analyzing temperature effect on parameter used in overpotential model is conducted for modeling of SOEC. cross-validation method is adopted for application of various MEA and evaluating feasibility of model. As a result, the study confirm that the numerical model of SOEC based on structured process of effectiveness evaluation makes performance prediction better.

Forty six natural habitats of Korean lespedeza(Leapedeza stipulacea Maxim.) were investigated for the growth characteristics, mineral contents of plant and the physico-chemical properties of natural habitat's soil compared with the upland soil nearby the habitat. The results obtained were summarized as follows. Plant height and dry matter yield were higher in the samples taken in late than early August showing large variation within the sampling date and location. Korean lespedeza showed higher contents of Fe and Mn, but lower contents of K, Ca, Mg and Cu than Alfalfa. The contents of P and Zn were about the same. The natural habitat showed higher soil pH and Ca content but lower contents of $P_2O_5$, K, and organic matter than the vicinity of natural habitats and the average soil of Korea. The contents of Mg were about the same. The soil texture of natural habitats showed much higher portion of sand and extremely low portions of silt and clay than both area. Korean lespedeza is so well adapted to the soil with low fertilizer and organic matter that other crops and most weeds fail. It also appears to thrive on the sandy loams, loamy sands of the piedmont region such as waste land and on the similar soils with variously physico-chemical properties.

Tosudite from the Sungsan mine, Korea is an alteration product of rhyolitic tuff in the cretaceous Hwangsan Formation. It is associated with illite, dickite, nacrite or quartz and also found in the cavities of black claystone. X-ray diffraction and chemical analyses show that the Sungsan tosudite is a lithium-bearing aluminous 1:1 regularly interstratified mineral of di, dioctahedral chlorite and smectite. Its structural formula is $(K_{0.73}Na_{0.02}Ca_{0.07})(Si1_{13.23}Al_{2.77})(Li_{0.52}Mg_{0.08}Mn_{0.01)Fe^{3+}_{0.07}Al_{12.33})O_{40}(OH)_{20}$ and it suggests that Sungsan tosudite consists of regularly interstratified Li-donbassite and beidellite. DTA and TG curves as well as IR absorption data also support such a result. Temperature of formation of tosudite is inferred to be between $110{\circ}$ and $270{\circ}C$.

Todorokite is a manganese oxide mineral containing Mg²⁺ in a tunnel structure in which MnO₆ octahedra share corners. In order to investigate the suitability and efficiency of high temperature-treated todorokite as a material for adsorption and fixation of Cs, Cs was ion exchanged and the amount of leached Cs from todorokite was measured. The todorokite used in this study was synthesized by transforming Na-birnessite to Mg-buserite and used as a precursor. After high temperature treatment, Cs exchanged todorokite changed to birnessite and hausmannite as the temperature increased. The amount of leached Cs was investigated for Cs exchanged todorokite which was reacted with distilled water and 1 M NaCl solution at different reaction times. In general, for the samples reacted with 1 M NaCl solution, the fixation of Cs was quite effective, although the amount of leached Cs was greater due to the ion exchange reaction with Na. As the treatment temperature increased, the amount of leached Cs increased and then decreased again, which was related to the mineral phases formed at each temperature. As birnessite was formed, the amount of leached Cs increased, but as birnessite decreased, that decreased again. As the mineral phase changed to hausemanite, the amount of Cs decreased rapidly. The results of our study show that Cs exchanged todorokite can be used as a material that effectively fixes Cs and prevents its diffusion by high temperature treatment.

This experiment was to find out the exact amount of iron component in filature water affecting or the coloring and iron component content in the raw silk after the quantitative analysis of iron component in the filature water, cocoon bave and raw silk. 1. In Korea the extent of iron component in filature water is 0.01-0.77 PPM, and the average amount is 0.23 PPM. 2. The sample water from wells contains more than twice as much iron component as the river water. 3. The iron component content in the cocoon bave (Fe$_2$O$_3$ 0.0096%) and that in the raw silk (Fe$_2$O$_3$ 0.0084%) are similar. But it should be noticed that while the ash content in cocoon bave is twice as much as raw silk, the same amount of ash in raw silk has twice as much iron component as the cocoon bave. 4. The amount of iron component in filature water has great effect on the resolution and absorption of iron component contained in the raw silk during cooking and reeling. That is, when the amount of iron component is small, the rate of iron component resolution from the cocoon bave increases and finally the raw silk comes to contain much less iron component than the cocoon bave, but when the iron component amount is over 0.40 PPM, the raw silk happens to contain more iron component than the cocoon bave. 5. The iron component in filature water makes the raw silk grayish and the more the iron component, the grayer the raw silk. 6. While even very small amount of iron component can affect the depth of raw silk, relatively large amount of Mn component does not have so much influence on the coloring.
