The purpose of this study is to analyse factors related to sex behavior and intention to premarital purity on the basis of theory of reasoned action. A structured Questionnaire was developed on the basis of Triandis model. Survey was conducted to 1662 unmarried person in high school students, college students, and workers. The results are as follows. For the factor of sexual behavior, male, older age had higher experience to sexual relationship, but for the factor of premarital purity, female and workers than student had higher consciousness of purity. Positive attitude to premarital purity, expectation toward preservation of purity, parental and social normative influence and facilitating factor such as experiences of sex education showed significant relationship to intention of premarital purity. Also multiple logistic regression showed that health behaviors such as smoking and drinking, sex and job were statistically significant factor for sex behavior. The result of this study suggest that educational program sex as well as good health behavior should developed and theory-based models in conducting health education research.

This work investigated the influence of concentration and applied potential on the characteristics of zinc powder (purity, apparent density, morphology, particle size distribution, and particle zeta potential) produced by the electrochemical process from waste brass. High-purity zinc powder is obtained using selective leaching of industrial brass waste in acidic, neutral, and alkaline solutions. The free immersion method with and without voltage using linear polarization technique is used. In the electrochemical process, hydrochloric acid HCl in three different concentrations (0.1, 0.2, and 0.3) M is used. The time and the distance between the electrodes are set to be 30 min and 3 cm, respectively. It has been found that the percentage purity is 98%, 96%, and 94% for the acidic, neutral, and alkaline solutions, respectively. In addition, the morphology of zinc powder analyzed by SEM was dendritic and mossy. It has been recorded that the purity of zinc increases with the increase of the concentration and applied potential. The highest value of purity for zinc powder was %98.58 in 1000 mV and 0.3M concentration for graphite cathode.

In 2001, Korea produced a total of 4.91 million metric tons of fly ash, approximately 63.3% of which was recycled. Almost all of the recycled fly ash are used in concrete mixtures and cement industry. Therefore, in order to develop a new usage to increase the utilization of the fly ash, conductive induction was used in this research rather than triboelectrostatic. By applying conductive induction, we could verify the possibility of obtaining high purity fly ash below 1%LOI and high carbon fly ash over 70%LOI from raw fly ash. In this test, the potential difference between the two electrodes was conducted by changing the range of 8 to 16 kV.

The high-purity purification of 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene (2,6-DMN, 10.43 wt%) from the concentrate of DMN isomers recovered from light cycle oil (LCO) through distillation-extraction combination was examined by a crystallization operation. To select the most suitable crystallization solvent for purification of 2,6-DMN, several conventional solvents, which have been employed commercially as crystallization solvents for high-purity performance, were tested, through measurement of purity and yield of 2,6-DMN. The solvents used were acetone, cyclohexanone, ethanol, ethyl ether, ethyl acetate, isopropyl ether, methanol, n-hexane, n-heptane, pyridine, THF, toluene, and a mixture of methanol and acetone. The mixture of 60 vol% methanol and 40 vol% acetone (M/A = 1.5) was found to be suitable for purification of 2,6-DMN in the concentrate of DMN isomers based on purity and yield. Increasing the operation temperature and the volume ratio of solvent (M/A = 1.5) to feed (concentrate of DMN) resulted in improving the purity of 2,6-DMN, whereas the yield decreased. The crystal recovered by crystallization run using the concentrate of DMN isomers contained about 76 wt% 2,6-DMN. Furthermore, for recovery of high-purity 2,6-DMN, crystal containing 76 wt% 2,6-DMN was crystallized. As a result, crystal with 99.7 wt% 2,6-DMN was recovered with 40% yield.

Aluminum nitride, which has outstanding properties such as high thermal conductivity and electrical resistivity, has been received a great attention as a substrate and packaging material of semiconductor devices. Since aluminum nitride has a high sintering temperature of 2173 K and its properties depends on the impurity level, it is necessary to synthesize high-purity and nano-sized aluminum nitride powders for the applications. In this research, we synthesized high purity aluminum nitride nanopowders from aluminum using RF induction thermal plasma system. Sheath gas (NH3) flow was controlled to establish the synthesis condition of high purity aluminum nitride nanopowders. The obtained aluminum nitride nanopowders were evaluated by XRD, SEM, TEM, BET, FTIR and N-O analysis.

A recently developed propellant, ammonium dinitramide (ADN, $NH_4N(NO_2)_2$ is stable and safe at an ambient condition. However, it requires high purity for practical applications. A very little quantity of foreign impurities in ADN may cause clogging of thruster nozzles and catalyst poisoning for the use of a liquid propellant. Thus, several purification processes for precipitated ADN particles such as repetition extraction, activated carbon adsorption and low-temperature extraction were presented in this study. The purifying methods helped to improve the chemical purity as evaluated by FT-IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy in addition to ion chromatography (IC) analyses. Among the purification processes, adsorption was found to be the best, showing a final purity of 99.8% based on relative quantification by IC. Thermal analysis revealed an exothermic temperature of $148^{\circ}C$ for the synthesized liquid monopropellant, but rose to $188^{\circ}C$ when urea was added.

Purpose: This pilot study was conducted to evaluate half-value layer (HVL) measurements obtained using a semiconductor dosimeter for intraoral radiography. Materials and Methods: This study included 8 aluminum plates, 4 of which were low-purity (less than 99.9%) and 4 high-purity (greater than 99.9%). Intraoral radiography was performed using an intraoral X-ray unit in accordance with the dental protocol at the authors' affiliated hospital: tube voltage, 60 kVp and 70 kVp; tube current, 7 mA; and exposure time, 0.10 s. The accuracy of HVL measurements for intraoral radiography was assessed using a semiconductor dosimeter. A simple regression analysis was performed to compare the aluminum plate thickness and HVL in relation to the tube voltage (60 kVp and 70 kVp) and aluminum purity (low and high). Results: For the low-purity aluminum plates, the HVL at 60 kVp (Y) and 70 kVp (Y) was significantly correlated with the thickness of the aluminum plate (X), with Y=1.708+0.415X (r=0.999, P<0.05) and Y=1.980+0.484X (r=0.999, P<0.05), respectively. Similarly, for the high-purity aluminum plates, the HVL at 60 kVp (Y) and 70 kVp (Y) was significantly correlated with the plate thickness(X), with Y=1.696+0.454X (r=0.999, P<0.05) and Y=1.968+0.515X (r=0.998, P<0.05), respectively. Conclusion: This pilot study examined the relationship between aluminum plate thickness and HVL measurements using a semiconductor dosimeter for intraoral radiography. Semiconductor dosimeters may prove useful in HVL measurement for purposes such as quality assurance in dental X-ray imaging.

A novel method for production of concentrated purity maltose using swollen extruded corn starch was investigated. Degree of gelatinization of extruded starch suitable for maltose formation was found to be around 70%. The optimal amiunt of enzyme was 400 unit fungal $\alpha $-amylase per g of starch, and the reaction time was 12 hours. At extruded starch concentration of 300 g/l(w/v), maltose concentration and content were reached up to 220 g/l(w/v) and 77%(w/w), respectively. The maltose forming reaction was also successfully proceeded at high starch concentration of 700 g/l(w/v), however, the conversion yield and content were decreased. By the addition of extruded starch by fed-batch wise, the maltose concentration, purity, and conversion yield could be improved up to 465 g/l(w/v), 70%(w/w), and 0.63, respectively. The investigated maltose production process seems to have many potential advantages over the conventional process utilizing liquefied starch, and the feasibility for industrial application needs to be evaluated.

γ-dicalcium silicate(γ-C2S) is known as a polymorphism of belite. Due to its high CO2 fixed capacity and the low CO2 emission production process, γ-C2S has attracted more and more attention of researchers. For the further development of application of γ-C2S in building construction industry. In this study, we aim to investigate the method for synthesizing high purity of γ-C2S. The influence of different raw materials and calcination temperatures on the purity of γ-C2S was also evaluated. Several Ca bearing materials were selected as the calcium source, the materials which' s main component is SiO2 were used as the silicon source. Raw materials were mixed and were calcined under different temperatures. The results reveal that the highest purity could be obtained using Ca(OH)2 and SiO2 powder as raw materials. And for the practical application, a relatively economic synthesis method using natural mineral materials- limestone and silica sand as raw materials was developed, by this method, the purity of the synthetic γ-C2S was 77.6%.
