We investigated the cycling behavior of $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$ electrode in a cross-linked gel polymer electrolyte based on non-flammable ionic liquid consisting of 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide and vinylene carbonate. The $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$ electrodes in ionic liquid-based gel polymer electrolytes exhibited reversible cycling behavior with good capacity retention. Cycling data and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analyses revealed that the optimum content of the cross-linking agent necessary to ensure both acceptable initial discharge capacity and good capacity retention was about 8 wt %.

Biomass, carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus standing crops of bethic community were estimated at the trophic levels in the intertidal zone of Kum river estuary. Annual mean biomass of zoobenthos was 130.5g/$m^2$, body fraction 26.7g/$m^2$ and shell fraction 103.8 g/$m^3$. Biomass estimated as ash-free dry weight was total 28.9g/$m^2$, body fraction 20.2g/$m^2$ and shell fraction 8.7g/$m^2$ Carbon standing crops of zoobenthos were 15.9gC/$m^2$, in which organic carbon content was 7.0gC/$m^2$ and carbonate carbon was 8.9gC/$m^2$. Production efficiency by carbon standing crops from sediment to herbivores and carnivores and 10.6% and 16.0% in phosphorus, respectively. Annual primary production of benthic algae was crudely estimated to 329g.dw/$m^2$/yr by using the biomass and turn-over rate of benthic algae.

Space charge formation in epoxy loaded with silica and calcium carbonate has been studied. The epoxy itself showed almost no charge at up to 40 kV/mm. The addition of fillers such as SiO$_2$and CaCO$_3$resulted in homocharge formation, which was attributed to the interfacial trapping of injected charge at epoxy/filler interfaces. The amount of charge showed a maximum at 20-40 parts per hundred resin above which the charge decreased gradually. This was tentatively attributed to the enhanced interconection of charge transport path by an increased filler content

The acetylation of papermaking pulp fiber(SwBKP, SwUKP, HwBKP and HwBCTMF) is carried out to modify the characteristics of pulp and paper. The effects of the addition of acetylated pulp on the filler retention and paper properties were investigated. The acetylation depended upon pulp type and the content of short fiber and fines. The addition of acetylated SwBKP did not deteriorate the retention of clay, talc and calcium carbonate, while the retention of titanium dioxide was increased with the addition of 20% and above. The brightness opacity, air permeability and tear strength were improved, but water resistance, burst strength and folding endurance were decreased by the addition of acetylated SwBKP and SwUKP. The tensile strength of SwBKP was increased until 20% of acetylated pulp is added, and then decreased. The tensile strength of SwUKP, however, was not changed until the acetylated pulp of 25% is added. The dimensional stability was improved by the addition of acetylated pulp and showed the different response to SwBKP and SwUKP.

Saesongi (Pleurotus eryngii) was cultivated in both potato dextrose agar (PDA) and sawdust media supplemented with Ca salts. The addition of Ca phosphate and Ca carbonate to sawdust media did not affect the growth, whereas Ca sulfate addition suppressed the mycelial growth appreciably. The efficiencies of Ca accumulation in the fruiting were studied based on mycelial growth experiments on Ca-supplemented sawdust media. Supplementation with 0.1 to 5% Ca phosphate increased the Ca content in the fruiting body by 4.5-6.5 fold, to a level of $314.6{\pm}22.7$ to $449.7{\pm}29.3$.

The purpose of this study is to ascertain self-healing function on microcracks in bisphenol F-type epoxy-modified mortars using expansive admixtures. The specimens are prepared with various polymer-binder ratios of 0, 5, 10, 20%, expansive admixture contents of 0% and 10%, a sodium carbonate content of 0.25%, and subjected to exposure conditions of CR1, CR2, CR3 and CR4. The specimens are tested for self-healing effect, porosity and FE-SEM analysis. As a result, self-healing effects of bisphenol F-type EPMMs with expansive admixtures are visible in all of the outdoor exposure conditions. In particular, exposure conditions of CR3 and CR4 are most noticeable. And the porosity of EPMMs is reduced with an increase in the polymer-binder ratio, and is considerably smaller than that of unmodified mortar.

10. Three major factors, freeness, filler and blend ratio that exercised considerable influence on physical properties of cigarette papers were chosen for the sake of their optimization at this experiment. An optimization of those above factors in paper manufacturing was investigated using response surface analysis. Optimum beating degree for Kenaf, Flax and NBKP showed around 72。SR, 68。SR and 85 SR, respectively, in considering of five quality index such as porosity, tensile strength, stretch, whiteness and opacity. The best blending ration of reciprocal pulps treated under optimum beating degree were diversified and combination scope of the bast fiber (Kenaf, Flax) to the NBKP was range from 30% to 65% in case of the Kenaf, from 25 to 40% in Flax at the same receipe. The optimum range of calcium carbonate content revealed 25%~30% in Kenaf mixed NBKP and 24%~31% in Flax mixed NBKP.

Long-term behavior of reinforced clayey soil by model tests were performed to investigate the effect of reinforcement during loads and under static loads. In order to determine proper contents by weight of monofilament polypropylene fiber and calcium carbonate, the drying shrinkage and compressive strength tests had been conducted before model tests. Model tests were run on a clayey soil mixed with or without reinforcement and test specimen in test apparatus was placed in air dry for 7days before load application. In the case of fiber reinforced soil, the horizontal strain was lower than others during loads because the presence of fibers increased the soil's resistance to deformation. All of reinforced clayey soil, horizontal strain decreased as the water content decrease under static loads.

To investigate size distribution and metallic elements of surface sediments in Hampyong Bay, the southwestern coast of Korea, sedimentological and geochemical studies on surface sediments are carried out. The surface sediments of Hampyong Bay are classified into gravel, muddy sandy gravel, gravelly muddy sand, gravelly sandy mud, mud facies in accordance with areal characteristics. The coarse sediments are distributed on the subtidal zone along the main tidal channel and southeast intertidal flat of Hampyong Bay. On the other hand, the fine sediments are dominated in northeast and west intertidal flat of Hampyong Bay. Most metallic elements except for Ba in the sediments are closely interrelated with fine sediments and mutually with each element. Ba is maybe related with sandy sediments and inversely related with carbonate contents. Normalized by Al content, the sediment do not show any remarkable metal enrichments influenced by resonable artificial or environmental factors.

Electrochromic $WO_3$ thin films were prepared by electron beam deposition. The transmission and durability of films were investigated. Coloring and bleaching experiments were repeated in an electrolyte of propylene carbonate with 0.6M of $LiClO_4$ by cyclic voltammetry. Spectrophotometer was used to measure the transmission in the degraded films. The 5000 ${\AA}$ thick film was found to be the stable after repeated cycles. The durability of the annealed film also showed improvements over unannealed samples. Tungsten oxide films with titanium content of about $10{\sim}15$ mol% was found to be most stable, undergoing the least degradation during the repeated cycles.
