Ti-48Al(at.%) specimens were coated with Al-21Ti-23Cr(at.%) film by RF magnetron sputtering. Ti-48Al specimen coated at 200, 0.8Pa and 573K showed the best oxidation resistance property in the isothermal oxidation test. Al-21Ti-23Cr film was amophous after depostion, but crystallized and fromed a protective ${Al}_{2}{O}_{3}$ layer on the surface during oxidation. Ti-48Al specimens coated at 573K have been sassessed by isothermal oxidation test for 100 hours at 1073K, 1173K and 1273K. The mass gain curves showed that parabolic stage continued at al tested temperature range in isothermal oxidation test, and the excellent oxidation resistance is attriutable to the formation of a protective ${Al}_{2}{O}_{3}$ layer on the surface of Al-21Ti-23Cr film. After oxidation test at 1273K, the matrix of Al-21Ti-23Cr film had transformed into TiAlCr phase due to the depletion of Al during oxidation and the diffusion of Ti from the substrate, and the extent of mass gain of the specimen increased compared with that of specimens tested at lower temperature.

This work was performed to study the characteristics of electrochemical intercalation reactions occurring at the interface between the organic electrolyte and tungsten trioxide thin film (thickness of $4000{\AA}$) prepared by e-beam evaporation method as cathodically coloring oxide with regard to the electrochromism by the intercalating reactions of the lithium cation in the 1M $LiClO_4/PC$ organic solution. The characteristics of electrochemical intercalation reactions were investigated by various DC electrochemical methods such as cathodic Tafel polarization test, multiple and the single sweep cyclic voltammetry and the coulomety titrations method. The surfaces of thin films were observed with the patterns of X ray diffraction after the coloring and bleaching reactions. In comparison with the previous results that $WO_3$ thin film intersely detached from the surface of electrode when the hydrogen cation was intercalated into $WO_3$ thin film in the o.1N $H_2SO_4$ aqueous solution, the intercalation reaction of lithium cation into $WO_3$ thin film in the 1M $LiClO_4/PC$ organic solution was shown that the stable bleaching and coloration was appeared within 1.0V of the applied overpotential. When the overpotential of electrochromic reaction for lithium cation in the 1M $LiClO_4/PC$ organic solution had been applied up to 1.5V, the accumulation phenomenon of lithium in amorphous $WO_3$ thin film layer occurred because the inserted lithium into amorphous $WO_3$ thin layer for coloring process was not fully removed from the thin layer to the electrolyte during bleaching process. It was found that there is a limitation of applied overpotential for coloring process by the reduction of the current densities of bleaching and coloration after few number of coloring and bleaching cycles.

The purpose of this study was to obtain the serum lipid levels according to the lifestyles, and examine the influence of lifestyles on the serum lipid levels among adults who examined the health checkup in an university hospital. The subjects for this study were 4,112 adults who underwent medical examinations at the health center of a university hospital in Daejeon city from Jan 2012 to Dec 2013. The lifestyles and serum lipid levels of study subjects were obtained from self-recorded questionnaires and medical examination charts of the hospital. As a result, the mean values of the serum lipid levels (TC, HDL-C. LDL-C and TG) and atherogenic index (AI) of the study subjects showed a significantly difference according to the lifestyle, such as age, alcohol consumption, smoking, regular exercise, overeating and meat consumption in both sexes. The TC, HDL-C. LDL-C, TG and AI showed a positive correlation with age, AUDIT score, but the HPI score showed a negative correlation in both sexes. In the age-adjusted odds ratio, the risk ratio of an abnormality of TC, HDL-C. LDL-C, TG and AI increased significantly because there was an increase in the group of everyday overeating and meat consumption, smoking group, no exercise group, and low HPI group than their respective counterparts in both sexes. The above results suggested that the serum lipid levels of the subjects was closely related to increasing age, and lifestyles, such as alcohol consumption, smoking, regular exercise, overeating, and meat consumption.

The stabilizing characteristics of heavy metals in the silicate glass (SD), borosilicate glass (BD), and leadsilicate glass (PD) containing Electric Arc furnace (EAF) dust were studied by the Toxic Characterization Leaching Procedure (TCLP) test. Also, the dependence of the amount of EAF dust upon structural changes of SD, BD, and PD glasses and the TCLP results were investigated by the XRD and FT-IR spectroscopy. In the XRD results, all of SD, BD, and PD specimens containing dust up to 30 wt% were amorphous without crystallizing. In the TCLP test, the concentration of heavy metals leached from the glasses increased with the amount of EAF dust added. The SD specimen series showed the lowest heavy metal leaching and the heavy metal leachate of the PD specimens were lower than those of the BD specimens. But, the Pb leaching from the PD specimens was the highest in the PD glass composition due to the high Pb content. The value of oxygen/network former ratio could be used to compare the chemical durability within the same glass series, but not proper to do between the different glass series. Adding the EAF dust to the SD mother glass, decreased the Si-O-Si symmetry and increased the non-bridging oxygen, which weakened the structure and decreased the chemical durability of glasses. In the BD series glasses, the addition of EAF dust caused the structural changes from tetra-borate group to di-borate group and the formation of the 2-dimensional layer structure of pyre- and ortho- borate, which decreased the chemical durability of glasses. It is concluded that SD series glass among the 3 kinds of glasses is the most effective to stabilize the heavy metals of EAF dust.

Enormous amount of zeolite by-products as a fine powder have been produced while manufacturing commercial zeolite products. Granulation of the zeolite by-products is necessary in order for them to be recycled as soil conditioners or absorbent for various environmental contaminants due to the limitations inherent from their physical properties. We granulated the zeolite powders using Portland cement as a cementing agent and characterized the physical and chemical properties of the granulated zeolite product. The experimental natural zeolite had a Si/Al ratio of 4.8 and CEC of 68.1 $cmol_c\;kg^{-1}$. The X-ray diffractometry (XRD) revealed that clinoptilolite and mordenite were the major minerals of natural zeolite. Smectite, feldspar and quartz also existed as secondary minerals. Optimum conditions of granulated zeolite production occurred when natural zeolite was mixed with Portland cement at a 4:1 ratio and granulated using the extruder, left to harden for one month at $25^{\circ}C$ and treated at $400^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours. The wide spectra of XRD revealed that the granulated zeolite had amorphous oxide minerals. The alkali- or thermal-treated natural zeolite exhibited pH-dependent charge properties. The major minerals of the granulated zeolite were clinoptilolite, mordenite and tobermorite. The buffering capacity and charge density of the granulated zeolite were greater than those of natural zeolite.

In this study, a new UBM materials system for solder flip chip interconnection of Cu pads were investigated using electroless copper (E-Cu) and electroless nickel (E-Ni) plating method. The interfacial reaction between several UBM structures and Sn-36Pb-2Ag solder and its effect on solder bump joint mechanical reliability were investigated to optimife the UBM materials design for solder bump on Cu pads. Fer the E-Cu UBM, continuous coarse scallop-like $Cu_{6}$ $Sn_{5}$ , intermetallic compound (IMC) was formed at the solder/E-Cu interface, and bump fracture occurred this interface under relative small load. In contrast, Fer the E-Ni/E-Cu UBM, it was observed that E-Ni effectively limited the growth of IMC at the interface, and the Polygonal $Ni_3$$Sn_4$ IMC was formed because of crystallographic mismatch between monoclinic $Ni_3$$Sn_4$ and amorphous E-Ni phase. Consequently, relatively higher bump adhesion strength was observed at E-Ni/E-Cu UBM than E-Cu UBM. As a result, it was fecund that E-Ni/E-Cu UBM material system was a better choice for solder flip chip interconnection on CU PadS.

Most of current works on the PEO-salt electrolytes has been focused on the enhancement of ionic conductivity with an addition of nano-ceramic fillers, but the significant drop of the conductivity with storage time is still in question and has been frequently overlooked. The conductivity drop with aging time has been assumed to come from the incorporation of ceramic particles. However, according to authors, the reported high-temperature values of the conductivity of pure $PEO_8LiCIO_4$ electrolytes are nearly in agreements, but the low temperature values are in great discrepancy reaching up to 10000 times. It indicates that the conductivity at ambient temperature is greatly dependent on the thermal history and sample preparations. In this paper, we showed that the ionic conductivities of both $PEO_8LiCIO_4$ and $PEO_8LiClO_4/Al_2O_3$ polymer electrolytes are strongly dependent on the thermal pretreatment and aging time. The conductivity drop with aging time of both ceramic-free and ceramic composite electrolytes has been measured to be nearly parallel. We showed that the conductivity relaxation with aging time is inherent irrespective of the incorporation of nano-ceramic fillers, since the PEO electrolytes at ambient temperature are in two-phase nature being in non-equilibrium state, never reaching completion.

Growth and anatomical responses of rice and barnyardgrass to molinate were examined under various cultural patterns in a greenhouse in which molinate had been applied at 3kg ai/ha 10 days after sowing or transplanting of rice. Molinate severely reduced growth of broadcast-sown rice compared to drill-seeded or transplanted rice. Molinate also significantly reduced the growth of barnyardgrass. The growth reduction of both species by molinate was more apparent under flooded than under dry conditions. Following the treatment of molinate, the leaf primordia of barnyardgrass were found to develop abnormally, resulting in a zigzag pattern. The effect of molinate on causing the symptom was more severe under flooded than under dry conditions.

In the upstream of Nakdong river in Bonghwa-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do, certain areas of riverside were found to be covered by weathered mine tailings which were assumed to be migrated and deposited by flood. This study was conducted to investigate the formation and characteristics of the secondary minerals from tailings and related leaching behavior of heavy metals in the severely weathered tailing deposits by river waters. Quartz, feldspar, micas, chlorite, hornblende, talc, pyroxene (johannsenite), pyrite, and calcite were identified as primary minerals by XRD. Kaolinite can be formed by the weathering of tailings, but considering the short period of weathering time, kaolinite in the deposits is considered to be from unweathered tailings or moved from soils. The secondary minerals such as goethite, gypsum, basanite, and jarosite were also identified. The formation of the secondary minerals was affected by the species of primary minerals and pH conditions. The weathering of pyrite produced sulfate minerals such as gypsum, basanite, jarosite, and also goethite. Mn oxide was also identified by SEM, coated on the primary minerals such as quartz. This Mn oxide was poorly crystalline and thought to be the weathering product of johannsenite (Mn-pyroxene). The Fe and Mn oxides are the main minerals determining the brown/red and black colors of weathered tailings. EDS results showed that those oxides contain high concentrations of Pb, Zn, and As, indicating that, in the river, the formation of Fe and Mn oxides can control the behavior and leaching of heavy metals by co-precipitation or adsorption.
