Undoped PbTiO3 ceramics was successfully prepared by using sol-gel process, which had not been fabricated due to its microcracks created by anisotropic stress during phase transition from cubic to tetragonal phase. Fabrication of undoped PbTiO3 ceramics via sol-gel processing was very much affected by the PbO content of the samples as well as PbO vapor from sintering atmosphere. Excess PbO was found to promote rapid grain growth in PbTiO3 ceramics. After sintering at 1100$^{\circ}C$ average grain size of PbTiO3 ceramics with excess PbO was about 8 times greater than that of stoichiometric composition, which may be due to PbO liquid phase from excess PbO.

Effect of PbO addition on sintering and piezoelectric properties at 0.45Pb(Ni1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.40PbTiO3-0.15PbZrO3 composition which is tetragonal phase was investigated. In this composition, Porosity and dielectric constant were increased with excess PbO addition, but Kp and d31 was not changed. These variation of physical properties could be interpreted as composition change of solid grains from tetragonal to MPB region due to amount of PbO-rich liquid changing.

This study was designed to investigate the effects of Korean Pueraria radix extract in Pb administered rats. Pb exposed rats were given 1% Pb in the diet. $\delta$-Adminolevulinic acid(DALA) and urinary glucose levels were increased with Pb administration and were lower in the Pb group than in the group administered Pb alone. Hematocrit value was decreased with Pb administration and was higher in the Pb group than in the C-Pb grou. $\delta$-Aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (DALAD) activity was decreased in the Pb group. ALT and AST were increased by Pb added and were lower in the Pb group than in the C-Pb group. Serum Pb content was higher in the Pb exposed rats than in the control groups, and no significant difference was found due to extract of Pueraria radix supplementation. Levels of liver, kidney and femur lead were reduced by Pueraria radix. Lead contents in feces and urine were higher in the Pb added groups than in the control group, and level of feces lead was increased by extract of Pueraria radix.

Lead isotopic compositions are analyzed from the sulfide minerals of the Yeonhwa, Janggun and Uljin deposits and from host limestone, intrusives, and basement rocks to reveal the source of Pb in these deposits. In the $^{206}Pb/^{204}Pb$ vs $^{207}Pb/^{204}Pb$ plot, Galenas from the Yeonhwa mine display relatively well defined positive linear array, similar to the Precambrian basement rocks of the Korean peninsula. A galena sample from the Uljin mine, Janggun limestone and the basement rocks also follow the variation of Yeonhwa mine. However, ore minerals from the Janggun mine, having relatively low $^{206}Pb/^{204}Pb$ values, reveal offset from such trend toward lower $^{207}Pb/^{204}Pb$ values. Considering the fact that Mesozoic igneous rocks and ores within the Gyeongsang basin display considerably lower $^{207}Pb/^{204}Pb$ values than basement rocks of the Korean peninsula, the deviation of Janggun ore minerals can be interpreted as to reflect mixing between leads from old continental crustal materials and from Mesozoic igneous rocks with more mantle signature. The lead of the Yeonhwa and Uljin mine, following trend of Precambrian basement rather well, seems to have been originated mostly from such basement. However, regarding that they occupy low $^{207}Pb/^{204}Pb$ side of the variation trend of the basement, the possibility of having some leads derived from the Mesozoic igneous rocks cannot be excluded.

To study the role of PbO as the buffer layer, Pt/PZT/PbO/Si with the MFIS structure was deposited on the p-type (100) Si substrate by the r.f. magnetron sputtering with $Pb_{1.1}Zr_{0.53}Ti_{0.47}O_3$ and PbO targets. When PbO buffer layer was inserted between the PZT thin film and the Si substrate, the crystallization of the PZT thin films was considerably improved and the processing temperature was lowered. From the result of an X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) depth profile result, we could confirm that the substrate temperature for the layer of PbO affects the chemical states of the interface between the PbO buffer layer and the Si substrate, which results in the inter-diffusion of Pb. The MFIS with the PbO buffer layer show the improved electric properties including the high memory window and low leakage current density. In particular, the maximum value of the memory window is 2.0V under the applied voltage of 9V for the Pt/PZT(200 nm, $400^{\circ}C)/PbO(80 nm)/Si$ structures with the PbO buffer layer deposited at the substrate temperature of $300^{\circ}C$.

This study investigated temporal and spatial variation of Pb and stable Pb isotopes accumulated in Ulleung Basin core sediments (4) using MC ICP/MS in order to identify the sources of anthropogenic Pb in the East/Japan Sea. Leached (1M HCl) Pb concentration and isotope ratios ($^{207}Pb/^{206}Pb\;and\;^{208}Pb/^{206}Pb$) were nearly constant during 300 yrs past than 1930, but increased up to twice in concentration and as much as 3.41% (1.70%) after 2000. On the other hand, residual Pb concentrations were nearly constant for past 400 yrs. The accumulation rates of anthropogenic Pb in the basin area were in the range of $3.1-3.5mg/m^2/yr$, which were similar levels to total atmospheric Pb deposition fluxes from 1990s to the present. In the slope area, more increase of anthropogenic Pb accumulation than the levels expected from mass accumulation rate could be found after the middle of 1990s. From the detailed evaluation for the temporal and spatial variation of accumulation rate and isotope ratios of anthropogenic Pb, we proposed probable sources and pathways of anthropogenic Pb. Pb emmision by coal burning from the China and Korea initiated the accumulation of anthropogenic Pb in the sediments of East/Japan Sea from 1930s. The accumulation of Pb increased by the addition of anti-nocking agents from both countries untill the beginning of 1990s, but from the middle of 1990s to the present, the phase-out of gasoline additives and the rapid increase of coal burning from the China maintained the atmospheric Pb levels in the Ulleung basin nearly similar to before. However, the local sources within this basin might take an important role in the rapid increase of anthropogenic Pb accumulation in slope areas from the middle of 1990s.

The strategy of distributors using a PB(Private Brand) inferior to existing PB to increase choice probability of PB arouses difficulty in terms of cost. Therefore, the aim of this study is to verify incentive and compromise effects of PB using two realistic experimental methods. Looking at the verification results, incentive and compromise effects occurred to show increase in choice probability of PB when a new GB(Generic Brand) was added to NB(National Brand) and PB of a manufacturer. In specific during experiment 1, choice probability of PB, the target, was changed when decoy brand was introduced even if there is a large difference in preference and choice probability of the competitor and target due to characteristics of NB and PB. In experiment 2, incentive effect appeared when PB of competitor was positioned as an inferior alternative to increase choice probability of the company's PB. Strategic implications on the study results, limits of this study, and future directivity were proposed.

Biosorption of Pb to Sargassum horneri was evaluated. An adsorption equilibrium was reached in about 15 min. for Pb and Pb uptake was 185.5 mg Pb/g biomass. When Ca and Mg concentration increases in Pb solution, Pb was selectively adsorbed. The Pb adsorbed by S. horneri could be recovered by desorption process, and the desorption efficiency of Pb by 0.1 M HCl, 0.1 M $HNO_3$, and 0.1 M EDTA was above $95\%$, whereas the elution by 0.1 M NaOH was less efficient in the desorption of Pb. S. horneri was reused 6 cycle repeatedly after adsorption/desorption and the sum of uptake was 636.6 mg Pb/g biomass.

Recently the sales of PB products attribute shows a steady growth day by day. The consumers buy them due to low prices, however, lately they buy the high premium PB products. And thus the large distributors made a rapid growth of sales. The aim of this study is to analyze what the PB products attributes may affect the consumers' purchase behavior. First, the attribute factors of the PB products: store image, knowledge and information, quality perception, economic value etc. have effects on the consumer attitude after usage experience with PB products. Second, the consumer attitude after usage experience with PB products can have an effect on the purchase behavior. As a result of this study, the various attributes of PB products such as store image, knowledge and information, quality perception, economic value appeared to be positive effect. At the same time the attitude after buying the PB products showed positive effects on the purchase behavior.

The melting temperature and critical temperature(Tc) of $YBa_2Cu_3O_x$ with deferent content impurities of PbO and $BaPbO_3$ were studied. When the PbO was used as addition in $YBa_2Cu_3O_x$, although the melting point could be reduced, the superconductivity(the transition width, ${\Delta}T_c$) became poor. From the XRD pattern of the sintered mixture of $YBa_2Cu_3O_x$ and PbO it was known that there is a reaction between $YBa_2Cu_3O_x$ and PbO, and the product is $BaPbO_3$. In the process of the reaction the superconducting phase of $YBa_2Cu_3O_x$ was decreased and in the sample $BaPbO_3$ became the main phase. Therefore the superconductivity was reduced. $BaPbO_3$ was chosen as the impurity for the comparative study. The single phase BaPbO3 was synthesized by the simple way from both mixtures of $BaPbO_3$ and PbO, $BaPbO_3\;and\;PbO_2$. Deferent contents of $BaPbO_3$(10%, 20%, 30%) were added in the $YBa_2Cu_3O_x$. By the phase analysis in the XRD patterns it was proved that there werenot reactions between $YBa_2Cu_3O_x$ and $BaPbO_3$. When $BaPbO_3$ was used as impurity in $YBa_2Cu_3O_x$ the superconductivity was much better than PbO as impurity in $YBa_2Cu_3O_x$. But the melting point of $YBa_2Cu_3O_x$ with $BaPbO_3$ could not be found when the temperature was lower than $1000^{\circ}C$ in the DTA measurement.
