A pot experiment with an acid sulfate soil from Kimhae was carried out to find out the cause of toxicity in rice plant. The effect of liming on changes in pH, Eh, Al, and $Fe^{2+}$ in soil and leachate was examined at two-week interval during the growth of rice. Also, total $P_2O_5$, $SiO_2$, Fe and Al contents in plants at harvesting stage were determined. In the early stage, the rice plant in the check soil showed the same healthy growth as did in limed soil even at high Al in soil and leachate. Around panicle forming stage, reddish brown mottlings suddenly infested all over the plants when accompanied with strong reduction, and afterward growth was severely retarded, and finally caused the significant difference in yield. During the strong reduction, significant amount of sulfide was formed only in check soils, but no free $H_2S$ was detected. Appreciable Al was still present in soil and leachate, and $Fe^{2+}$ in check soil was lower than that in limed soil, but $Fe^{2+}$ in leachate was slightly higher. Limed soils were more reduced and produced more $Fe^{2+}$ due to increased microorganism activity in the neutral pH. In the leachate, the check showed slightly higher $Fe^{2+}$ concentration but considerably higher than limed one at later stage. Appreciable amount of Al was detected only in check soil and leachate from transplanting to panicle formation stage. Plant tissues at harvesting stage contained very low P regardless of liming. Uptake of Si was markedly increased by liming. Contents of Fe an Al was markedly higher in check than limed one, but difference in Fe content was more drastic possibly due to more Fe uptake in presence of markedly higher $Fe^{2+}$ in soil and leachate at later growing stage. In conclusion toxic symptom in this acid sulfate soil seems to be primarily due to Al when accompanied with low pH and strong reduction. But association with $Fe^{2+}$ toxicity is not completely excluded. In order to differentiate the effect of $Fe^{2+}$ from that of Al more detailed plant analysis at different stage is required.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of dietary Fe and Se levels on lipid contents of serum and liver in growing rats fed adequate Fe(35ppm), medium-high Fe(70ppm), high Fe(140ppm), adequate Se(0.05ppm), and high Se(0.Sppm) for 6 weeks. Serum levels of Fe and Se increased as the levels of dietary Fe and Se were increased, respectively(P<0.05, p<0.05), Serum levels of total cholesterol and (LDL＋VLDL)-cholesterol increased as the level of dietary Fe was increased (p<0.001, p<0.001), and were lower in high-Se group than those in adequate-Se group(p<0.001, P<0.001). Liver Fe level in High-Se group was lower than that in adequate-Se group(p<0.01) and liver Se level decreased as the dietary Fe level was increased(p<0.05). Liver levels of phospholipid and total lipid in high-Se group were lower than that in adequate-Se group(p<0.05 p<0.01). Liver levels of triglyceride and total lipid decreased as the level of dietary Fe was increased(p<0.05 p<0.01). From these results, it is considered that serum lipid contents are increased in case of Fe overload and decreased with adding Se. Therefore, it could be suggested that adequate Fe intake and Se addition are recommended for prevention of lipid increment in serum.

The effects of additive(grain refiner, GR) on process efficiency of the Ni-Fe-P alloy electrodeposition and the material properties of the deposit were investigated. Electrochemical properties of the deposits were investigated using polarization and electrochemical impedance techniques, and the material properties of the deposits were characterized through inductively coupled plasma(ICP), spiral contractometer, XRD, SEM and TEM. When the additive was added into the electrodeposition bath, current efficiency, Ni content and corrosion resistance of the deposit increased, whereas residual stress, surface roughness and grain size of the deposit decreased.

Phase behavior and spinodal phase separation kinetics in binary blends of a random copolymer of vinylidene fluoride and trifluoroethylene (75/25) [P(VDF/TrFE)] and poly(l,4-butylene adipate) (PBA) have been investigated by means of optical microscopic observation and time-resolved light scattering. The blends exhibited a typical lower critical solution temperature (LCST)∼${34}^{\circ}C$ above the melting temperature of the P(VDF/TrFE) crystals over the entire blend composition range. P(VDF/TrFE) and PBA were totally miscible in the temperature gap between the melting point of P(VDF/TrFE) and the LCST. Temperature jump experiments of the 3/7 P(VDF/TrFE)/PBA blend were carried out on a light-scattering apparatus from a single-phase melt state (${180}^{\circ}C$) to a two-phase region (205∼${215}^{\circ}C$). Since the late stage of spinodal decomposition (SD) is prevalent in the 3/7 blend, SD was analyzed using a power law scheme. Self-similarity was preserved well in the late stage of SD in the 3/7 blend.

In this research, the P(VDF-TrFE) copolymer thin films were prepared by the physical vapor deposition and studied to their piezoelectric properties. In the case of a specimen produced by varying the deposition temperature from $260^{\circ}C$ to $300^{\circ}C$, its piezoelectric coefficient($d_{33}$) increased from 32.3pC/N to 36.28pC/N, and piezoelectric voltage coefficient($g_{33}$) from $793{\times}10^{-3}V{\cdot}m/N$ to $910.5{\times}10^{-3}V{\cdot}m/N$. On the basis of these experimental results, we concluded that the P(VDF-TrFE) copolymer thin film prepared at $300^{\circ}C$ showed the optimum piezoelectric properties. At the deposition temperature of $320^{\circ}C$, its piezoelectric coefficient(d33) decreased 25.3 pC/N and piezoelectric voltage coefficient($g_{33}$) $680{\times}10^{-3}V{\cdot}m/N$.

Red mud is generated as a waste byproduct during the production of aluminum hydroxide/alumina from bauxite ore in the Bayer process. In this study coagulants for wastewater treatment were prepared by leaching iron and aluminum from red mud with hydrochloric acid. The removal efficiency of heavy metal ions by the red mud coagulant increased with increasing the adjusted pH value of the synthetic wastewater. When the red mud coagulant was prepared, the leaching efficiency of Fe decreased with increasing the weight of red mud, while the pH value of the red mud coagulant increased. The solution of the red mud coagulant mixed with water was reacted again with red mud to produce the leached solution, which had higher concentrations of Fe and Al and a higher pH value than the red mud coagulant. Also, its pH value was comparable to that of other coagulants: $FeCl_3$ and $Fe_2(SO_4)_3$.

Magnetic properties of sintered Fe-Si-P alloys have been investigated as a function of sintering condition and composition. Sintering was carried in the temperature range from 1100ø C to 1400ø C in vacuum. As the sintering temperature increases, the magnetic properties of specimens were improved mainly due to the easy movement of domain wall because large pores and large grains were formed during the sintering process at high temperature. When sintered at 1400ø C, Fe-2w/o Si-0.5w/o P compact had the best mgnetic properties, but more phosphorus addition degraded magnetic properties. It appears that the degradation was caused by the formation of non-magnetic compounds such as Si P, Fe3P in the compacts with high phosphorus contents.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the fabrication of P(VDF-TrFE) organic thin films through the vapor deposition method and the piezoelectric properties of the organic thin films thus produced. Vapor deposition was performed under the following conditions: the working temperature, and the pressure of reaction chamber were $300^{\circ}C$, and $2.0{\times}10^{-5}$ Torr, respectively. The molecular structure and crystallinity of the evaporated organic thin films were evaluated by using a FT-IR (Fourier-Transform Infrared spectroscopy) and XRD (X-ray diffractometry), The results showed that crystallinity increased with an increase in the substrate temperature. When the P(VDF-TrFE) organic thin films were fabricated by increasing the substrate temperature, its piezoelectric coefficient($d_{33}$) increased.

The experimental results of the characteristics of aluminum based and ferric based coagulants for the Nakdong River water showed that the main hydrolysis species contained in alum and $FeCl_3$ are monomeric species of 98% and 93.3%, respectively. The PACl of r=1.2 produced by the addition of base contained 31.2% of polymeric Al species and the PACl of r=2.2 contained 85.0% of polymeric Al species, as showing more polymeric Al species with increasing r value. Coagulation tests using Al(III) and Fe(III) salts coagulants for the Nakdong River water showed that the coagulation effectiveness of turbidity and organic matter was high in the order of $FeCl_3$ > PACl (r=2.2) > PACl (r=1.2) > alum. $FeCl_3$ has showed better flocculation efficiency than Al(III) salts coagulants. In addition, in case of Al(III) coagulants, the Al(III) coagulants of higher basicity, which contained more polymeric Al species, resulted in better coagulation efficiency for both turbidity and organic matter removed. The optimum pH range for all of the coagulants investigated was around pH 7.0 under the experimental pH range of 4.0~9.5. Especially, the highest basicity PACl (r=2.2) and $FeCl_3$ were considered as more appropriate coagulants for the removal of turbidity in the case of raw water exhibiting higher pH.
