Postabsorptive serum iron level was determined after oral administration of the compounds to human. In serum and whole blood, $Fe^{3+}$ was measured by ion chromatography (IC) using a pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid (PDCA) as an eluent. The serum sample solutions were pretreated with I N HCI and 50% TCA. The whole blood sample solutions were treated with 3 N HCI for 30 min at $125^{\circ}C$. The limit of detection (LOD) of the IC technique is $0.2 {\mu}M$ for$Fe^{2+}$and 0.1 $\mu$M for $Fe^{3+}$. The area under concentration (AUC) can be obtained by the above analytical condition. In addition, to compare the stability of $Fe^{2+}$ to that of $Fe^{3+}$ in pharamaceutical preparations, accelerated stability test was carried out. After storing the samples under $40^{\circ}C$, 75%RH in light-resistant container for various time intervals, the contents of iron of different valencies were determined separately by the IC technique and the change and/or the interchange of among those iron species in preparations was investigated. Iron raw materials are stable, but $Fe^{2+}$ in$Fe^{3+}$ source materials was slightly converted to $Fe^{3+}$ by oxidation. $Fe^{2+}$ in$Fe^{3+}$ source raw materials and $Fe^{3+}$ in $Fe^{2+}$ raw materials are determined as impurities. Therefore, IC technique is found to be an appropriate method for comparative evaluation of dissimilar bioavailability of $Fe^{2+}$ and $Fe^{3+}$, stability of $Fe^{2+}$ and $Fe^{3+}$ raw materials and preparations.

Carbon nanofilaments were deposited on silicon oxide substrate by thermal chemical vapor deposition method. We used $Fe(CO)_5$ as the catalyst for the carbon nanofilaments formation. Around $800^{\circ}C$ substrate temperature, the formation density of carbon nanofilaments could be enhanced by the vacuum sublimation technique of $Fe(CO)_5$, compared with the conventional spin coating technique. Finally, we could achieve the low temperature, as low as $350^{\circ}C$, formation of carbon nanofilaments using the sublimated Fe-complex nanograins with thermal chemical vapor deposition. Detailed morphologies and characteristics of the carbon nanofilaments were investigated. Based on these results, the role of the vacuum sublimation technique for the low temperature deposition of carbon nanofilaments was discussed.

A FE-(FE-HE)-BE procedure is presented for dynamic analysis of concrete arch dams. In this technique, dam body is discretized by solid finite elements, while the reservoir domain is considered by a combination of fluid finite elements and a three-dimensional fluid hyper-element. Furthermore, foundation rock domain is handled by three-dimensional boundary element formulation. Based on this method, a previously developed program is modified, and the response of Morrow Point arch dam is studied for various conditions. Moreover, the effects of canyon shape on response of dam, is also discussed.

An analytical method for the spectrometric simultaneous determination of the individual ions in the mix-tures of $Fe^{2+}$ and $Fe^{2+}$ ions utilizing a technique of flow injection analysis has been developed. The method was based on the oxidation reaction between $Fe^{2+}$ ion and $H_2O_2$ in an acidic medium and the subsequent formation of a red Fe$(SCN)^{3-x}_x$ ion by the complexation reaction between $Fe^{2+}$ ion and $SCN^-$ ion. Unlike the conventional methods which require separate processes for the pre-treatment of the sample solution, the current method uses the same FIA system for the pre-treatment and the analysis of the sample. The detection limit for the determination of $Fe^{2+}$ ion was found to be 6.00${\times}10^{-7}$M.

This paper provides background theories and numerical results of automatic finite element (FE) mesh generation for freeform discrete structures. The present method adopts the computer aided geometric design (CAGD) technique to overcome the limitation of case-sensitive traditional automatic FE mesh generator. The present technique involves two steps. The first one is to represent the shape of the structure using the geometric model based on the CAGD and the second one is to generate the discrete FE mesh of spatial structures over the geometric model. From numerical results, it is found to be that the present technique is very easy to produce the FE mesh for free-form spatial structures and it can also reuse some features of traditional automatic mesh generator in the process. Furthermore, it shows the possibility to be used for the shape optimization of large spatial structures.

Sb and Sb-Fe doped SnO$_2$film resistors were prepared by spray pyrolysis technique. The effects of Sb and Sb-Fe addition on TCR and electrical properties of SnO$_2$film resistors were studied. Also the dependence of electrical properties on the substrate temperature and substrate-nozzle distance was investigated. The Sn-Sb system with 7.9 mol% SbCl$_3$(STO-406) and Sn-Sb-Fe systems with 7.3 mol% SbCl$_3$+7.3 mol% FeCl$_3$(STO-407) and with 3.4 mol% SbCl$_3$+7.7mol% FeCl$_3$(STO-408) were prepared. Both of the systems Sn-Sb and Sn-Sb-Fe represented nonlinearity of TCR with temperature. As the amount of Fe increased TCR was shifted to positive direction. Decreasing Sb or increasing Fe caused resistivity to increase. Also increasing Fe caused the crystallization degree of rutile structure in SnO$_2$film to decrease. The electrical resistivity decreased with increasing substrate temperature The resistivity decreased with increasing substrate-nozzle distance in the ranges from 15 to 25 cm and increased rapidly at the distance over 25cm.

We have fabricated $FeSe_x$ superconducting thin films at much different substrate temperatures of 430 and $610^{\circ}C$ on $Al_2O_3$(0001) substrates by using a pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique. Superconducting transitions for both films were shown around 10 K, but their transition width and growth directions of grains were different. We found that superconducting tetragonal FeSe phases and non-superconducting hexagonal FeSe phases were coexisted in the sample grown at the low temperature of $430^{\circ}C$, whereas the hexagonal FeSe phase was decreased with increasing fabrication temperatures.

Fe-(3∼6.5wt%) Si alloy powders having a high magnetic induction(Bs) and a low core loss value for high frequency use were obtained by an extractive melt spinning as well as a centrifugal atomization technique. Sintered core rings made by the rapidly solidified Fe-6.5wt% Si powders exhibited the high frequency magnetic properties : megnetic induction(B8) of 1.23 T, coercivity(Hc) of 0.12 Oe, relative permeability(${\mu}$a) of 6321, and core loss(W10/50) of 1.27 W/kg from the rings of 1.1 mm thick. The magnetic induction values were found to be almost identical to those of non-oriented Fe-6.5wt% Si steel sheet and double the value of 6.5wt% Si sheet prepared by the CVD technique. The high frequency core losses(W) up to 10 kHz(W10/10k) were measured to be competitive to those of grain-oriented Fe-6.5wt% Si steel sheet.

A new synthetic method for the formation of uniform $\alpha-Fe_2O_3$ nanoparticles was reported and their magnetic properties were investigated. The sonochemical synthesis and the subsequent take-off technique resulted in spherical shaped $\alpha-Fe_2O_3$ nanoparticles with an average diameter of 60 nm. The temperature- and applied magnetic field-dependent magnetization of the $\alpha-Fe_2O_3$ nanoparticles was explained by the sum of two contributions, i.e., the Morin transition and superparamagnetism, because the critical size for superparamagnetism was within the size variation of the nanoparticles.

This paper aims to develop a SI(structural identification) technique using the kinetic energy optimization technique(KEOT) and the direct matrix updating method(DMUM) to decide on optimal location of sensors and to update FE model respectively, which ultimately contributes to a composition of more effective SHM. Owing to the characteristic structural flexing behavior of cable bridges, which makes them vulnerable to any vibration, systematic and continuous structural health monitoring (SHM) is pivotal for them. Since it is necessary to select optimal measurement locations with the fewest possible measurements and also to accurately assess the structural state of a bridge for the development of an effective SHM, a SI technique is as much important to accurately determine the modal parameters of the current structure based on the data optimally obtained. In this study, the KEOT was utilized to determine the optimal measurement locations, while the DMUM was utilized for FE model updating. As a result of experiment, the required number of measurement locations derived from KEOT based on the target mode was reduced by approximately 80 % compared to the initial number of measurement locations. Moreover, compared to the eigenvalue of the modal experiment, an improved FE model with a margin of error of less than 1 % was derived from DMUM. Finally, the SI technique for long-span bridges proposed in this study, which utilizes both KEOT and DMUM, is proven effective in minimizing the number of sensors while accurately determining the structural dynamic characteristics.
