Corrosion mechanisms by molten steel and slag were investigated in the zirconia/graphite composite as a material of submerged entry nozzle (SEN) using for producing high quality steel. Most of corrosions were started by the dissolution of zirconia particles into molten steel and oxidation of graphite, but subsequently three modes of corrosion were observed. Firstly, the penetration of slag into zirconia matrix was induced to the diffusion of stabilizing agent outward cubic zirconia grains, and the destabilization of cubic to fine monoclinic zirconia particles, which is enhanced to the decomposition and dissolution of them into slag. Secondly, molten slag penetrates into large cubic zirconia particles along grain boundary and decomposed them to fine cubic grains, which is also enhanced to the dissolution of zirconia grains into slag. Lastly, reaction between carbon and cubic zirconia was formed porous ZrC and enhanced the dissolution of it into slag.

A stable suspension with a colloidal $ZrO_2$ particle was prepared by an adsorption of PV A and investigated to the effects of PV A on the dispersion and particle growth within suspension. With a suspension added the optimum concentration of PYA (about 500 ppm in this study), it was shown the property of a stable sol due to the formation of adsorbed PV A layer on surface and the reduction of an agglomeration among the particles. Most of nucleation in colloidal $ZrO_2$ were occured in the early stage of hydrolysis reaction and the plate-like monoclinic $ZrO_2$ particle were grown with an aging time. The rate of particle growth and yield for a reaction were decreased with an addition of PV A. The compact prepared from well- dispersed suspension by an addition of PV A was contained the homogeneous particle arrangement and pore distribution.

FTIR spectroscopic study was undertaken on dickite and pyrophyllite with Si and Al cations in the far-infrared(Far-IR) and mid-infrared (Mid-IR) regions, respectively. Attempts were made to present bonding information and make assignments on the absorption bands of dickite in the Far-IR region. Dickites contain a small proportions or kaolinite or nacrite layers. FTIR can be used as a potential tool for characterizing the presence of mixed-layer with different polytypes of the kaolin minerals. There is no clear relationship between Hinckley index and crystallinity of dickite. Although pyrophyllite shows a strong OH stretching band at 3673-3676 $cm^{-1}$ / corresponding to an inner hydroxyl group, the weak band at $3645-3648 cm^{-1}$ seems to be due to the symmetric vibration if the symmetry of the structure is not ideal, probably due to the presence of trace Fe or mixture phases of 1Tc and 2M polytypes.

In generating DTM as basic data to GIS, the use of existing map is difficult to aquire current data and the method using airphotos needs cost for stereoplotting and ground control surveying. So, the method of DTM generation by satellite imagery is promising because satellite is able to observe wide area at once. In this study the program for SPOT bundle adjustment and image matching based on Coarse to Fine method is developed and various image enhancement algorithm is used for more accurate DTM generation and also evaluation of accuracy was carried out. Further more, orthophoto, a bird's eye-view, contour map producing, net-work analysis and terrain analysis were performed for GIS applications using generated DTM in this study. Generated DTM using SPOT stereo imagery is useful for GIS applications such as automated mapping, facility management, national geographic information system. Moreover developed automatic DTM generation pro-gram is studied, tested and verified more to be applicable to all the area.

In this study, we investigate the feasibility of modeling entire image strips that has been acquired from the same orbital segments. We tested sensor models based on satellite orbit and attitude with different sets(Type1 ~ Type4) of unknowns. We checked the accuracy of orbit modeling by establishing sensor models of one scene using control points extracted from the scene and by applying the models to adjacent scenes within the same orbital segments. Results indicated that modeling of individual scenes with 1st or 2nd order unknowns was recommended. We tested the accuracy of around control points, digital map using the HIST-DPW (Hanjin Information Systems & Telecommunication Digital Photogrammetric Workstation) As a result, we showed that the orbit-based sensor model is a suitable sensor model for making 1/25,000 digital map.

Clinopyroxene in the Geodo mine belongs to diopside-hedenbergite series. It is widely distributed throughout the mine area together with garnet and is also closely related with Fe-mineralization. Clinopyroxenes in the Geodo mine including two samples from the sangdong and Ulchin Mines are studied using polarized microscope, EPMA, XRD, and IR spectroscopy for occurrence, chemistry, structure, and crystal chemistry. Especially, variations in unit-cell parameters are examined in relation with the substitution scheme between Fe and Mg cations. Clinopyroxenes in the Geodo mine occur in both endoskarn and exoskarn zone. It is mostly anhedral to subhedral with fine- to medium-grained in texture, but some have bigger crystals of short prismatic or columnar habits. Clinopyroxene occurs as monomineralic or is associated with mostly garnet and sometimes with actinolite, magnetite, epidote, and chlorite. Chemical analysis reveals that the Geodo clinopyroxene is diopsidic in composition (Di: 65-96%). This fact is in good contrast with garnet chemistry showing mostly andraditic (An: 41-82%). Especially, clinopyroxene coexisting with magnetite belongs to nearly end member diopside (Di: 97-99%). Thus, diopside-andradite pair indicates that Geodo skarns were formed under the reduced environment. X-ray diffraction analysis shows unit-cell parameters vary with increase of Fe contents: a = 9.765-9.838$\AA$, b = 8.943-9.020$\AA$, c= 5.240-5.253$\AA$.$\beta$ = 105.70-104.83$^{\circ}$, and V =440.64-448.19$\AA$3. It is noted from the least square regression that a, b and V increase linearly with increase of Fe content, while $\beta$ slightly decreases and c remains nearly unchanged as change in Fe content. These trends are to difference between synthetic and natural clinopyroxenes. This fact is also recognized in IR spectra which show a slight shift of several absorption bands toward lower wavenumber region with increasing Fe content.

Zirconia nanoparticles were synthesized by hydrothermal process, and experimental parameters such as reaction temperature, reaction time, kind and concentration of precipitator, kind of precursor were varied. Particle sizes and crystalline phases of each synthesized nanoparticles were analyzed with X-ray diffraction and FE-scanning electron microscope (SEM). The particle size and crystallization of zirconia increased with increasing concentration of precipitator. The growth rate of particle sizes when NaOH as a precipitator was used also increased more than that of KOH. Therefore, the use of KOH rather than NaOH was more effective in the control of particle sizes. An amorphous zirconia nanoparticle was found in 4 h of hydrothermal reaction, but the monoclinic zirconia nanoparticle was found in 8 h and over of hydrothermal reaction, and the width of nanoparticles was slightly slimmed and the length of nanoparticles was slightly extended with increasing reaction time. The smallest particle size was produced at the same synthesis condition when zirconium chloride among the precursors such as zirconium (IV) acetate, zirconium nitrate and zirconium chloride was used.

The factors affecting shear strength and friction characteristics of the fiber-mixed soil can be classified into engineering properties of soil; particle-size, distribution, and particle shape, physical and mechanical properties of fiber; shape, length, diameter, tensile strength, elastic modulus, friction coefficient, and mixed ratio and external factors; confined stress and compaction condition. In this study, a series of shear friction tests and pull-out tests were performed to evaluate the friction properties of fiber-mixed soil according to soil type, fiber type, fiber mixed ratio and compaction degree. The materials and test conditions used in this study are as follows. Soils: SM and ML; mixing fibers: three types of polypropylene fibers(net type 38mm and 60mm, and line type 60mm); reinforcement: geogrid; mixing ratio: 0.2% and 0.3%; degree of compaction : 85% and 95%.

The purpose of this study is to scientifically establish the concepts of photogeography, and to present desirable directions for the pursuit of photogeography in Korea. Photogeography is to effectively utilize the documentary and artistic nature of the photo, as an image medium, in the geographic study. The concept of photogeography, along with the term photogeology, is already known widely in foreign countries, and extensive research has been carried out in the field. However, here in Korea, nobody knows the concept of photogeography. Since photogeography has not been systemized as a science, and interest in photography is being minimal, photography, in reality, has in no way been utilized effectively. The photographs used in Photogeography can be classified, according to character, into two major categories, geographic photographs and general photographs, and, according to subject and camera, into still photographs and dynamic photographs. Photographs, such single photographs, slides, air photographs and satellite photographs are in the category of still photographs, while pictures like video and movie pictures are dynamic photographs.

We have studied the effects of red ginseng root extract on the decrease of UV-induced genotoxicity in cultured NIH3T3 cells. The increase in survival and the recovery from DNA synthesis inhibition in UV-irradiated cells as a function of normal medium incubation time was potentiated by the presence of the ginseng extract. The extract also increased the UV-induced excision repair as determined by unscheduled DNA synthesis. The amount of UV-induced DNA single strand breaks that are accumulated by polymerase inhibitors was significantly increased by the presence of the extract. These results suggest that the red ginseng extract activates the incision/excision step of UV-induced repair and could be used as a reagent for protecting UV-induced genotoxicity and cytotoxicity.
