Laboratory scale experiments were carried out to delineate the effects of liquid phases, such as soil water and light nonaqeous phase liquid (LNAPL) on the transport of gaseous ozone in unsaturated soil. Soil water enhanced the transport of ozone due to water film effect, which prevents direct reaction between soil particles and gaseous ozone, and increased water content reduced the breakthrough time of ozone because of increased average linear velocity and decreased air-water interface area. Diesel fuel as LNAPL also played a similar role with water film, so the breakthrough time of ozone in diesel-contaminated soil was significantly reduced compared with uncontaminated soil. Ozone breakthrough time was retarded with increased diesel concentration, however, because of high reactivity of diesel fuel with ozone. In unsaturated soil containing two liquids of soil water and LNAPL, the transport of ozone was mainly influenced by nonwetting fluid, diesel fuel in this study.

A simple and sensitive method for erythromycin quantification by liquid chromatography electrospray mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) in fishery products was developed. Samples were extracted by liquid-liquid extraction using 70% acetonitrile. Lipids were removed by acetonitrile saturated hexane. LC separation was performed on a Shiseido UG C-18 column ($150\;mm{\times}2.0\;mm$ internal diameter.) with a gradient system of 0.2% acetic acid-acetonitrile containing 0.2% acetic acid as a mobile phase at flow rate of 0.2 mL/min. The mass spectrometer was operated in selected reaction monitoring with positive electro-spray interface. Transitions were monitored a m/z $734{\to}577$ and $734{\to}158$, with m/z $734{\to}577$ chosen for quantification. Recovery of erythromycin from fish and shrimp fortified at the 10 ng/mL, 50 ng/mL and 100 ng/mL were 91.6-109.4%, 84.4-111.2% and 98.8-109.6% with high precision, respectively. Limits of quantification and limits of detection of erythromycin in both fish and shrimp were 10.0 ng/mL and 1.0 ng/mL, respectively. This analysis method for erythromycin has been proposed for registration in the Korean Official Methods of Food Analysis and has been utilized for fishery products analysis by the Korea Food and Drug Adminstration and the National Fisheries Products Quality Inspection Service.

Antioxidation mechanism of Al metal powders on $Al_2O_3-C$ refractory was investigated in temperature range from 800 to $1400^{\circ}C$. The addition of 5 wt% Al metal powders suppressed the oxidation of carbon in $Al_2O_3$-C sample. The carbons were distributed uniformly on the surface and the interface of the $Al_2O_3$-C-Al. Reaction products of $Al_4C_3$ and AIN were found with a composition of Al-C at temperatures between 800 and $1200^{\circ}C$ and transformed to $Al_2O_3$ above $1400^{\circ}C$. Cavity structures related to the to the formation of $Al_4C_3$ were observed for the AI-C after heating at $1000^{\circ}C$ ofr 1 hour. Thermodynamic mechanism was considered to discuss the formation $Al_4C_3$, AlN and their transformation to $Al_2O_3$, which leads to the effect of oxidation resistance.

The serious issue of tall building is to ensure the fire-resistance of high strength concrete. The fire resistant finishing method is necessarily essential in order to satisfy the fire resistance time of 3 h required by the law. The fire resistant finishing method is installed by applying a fire resistant material as a method of shotcrete or a fire resistant board to high strength concrete surface. This method can reduce the temperature increase of the reinforcement embedded in high strength concrete at high temperature due to the installation thickness control. This study is interested in identifying the effectiveness of inorganic alumino-silicate compounds including the inorganic admixture such as fly ash and meta-kaolin as the fire resistant finishing materials through the analysis of fire resistance and components properties at high temperature. The study results show that the fire resistant finishing material composed of fly ash and meta-kaolin has the thermal stability of the slight decrease of compressive strength at high temperature. These thermal stability is caused by the ceramic binding capacity induced by alkali activation reaction by the reason of the thermal analysis result not showing the decomposition of calcium hydrate. Inorganic compounds composed of fly ash and meta-kaolin is evaluated to be very effective as the fire resistance material for finishing to protect the concrete substrate by the reason of those simplicity in both application and manufacture. The additional study about the adhesion in the interface with concrete substrate is necessary for the purpose of the practical application.

The growth and microstructural characterization of epitaxial yttrium silicide ($YSi_2$) on the (100)Si substrate are investigated. The $YSi_2$ film grow epitaxilly through the solid phase reaction during vacuum annealing above $400^{\circ}C$. The epitaxial relationships between the hexagonal $YSi_2$ film and the (100)Si substrate are [0001]$YSi_2$//[011]Si and [0001]$YSi_2$//[011]Si in the (1100)$YSi_2$//(100)Si plane relation. The YSi$_2$ film consists of the two types of domains which have two different azimuthal orientations making an angle of $90^{\circ}$ to each other. The two types of domains in the $YSi_2$film are equivalent in volume fraction and crystalline quality, which has been proved from the equivalent integrated intensities of (2201) asymmetric reflection of X-ray diffraction. The formation of a double -domain structure is discussed on the basis of geometrical matching at interface between the (1100)$YSi_2$ film and the (100)Si substrate, and growth model is proposed.

We present the results of a multi-material numerical investigation of the propagation of a combustible gas mixture detonation in narrow metal tubes. We use an experimentally tuned one step Arrhenius chemical reaction and ideal gas equation of state (EOS) to describe stoichiometric $H_2-O_2$ and $C_2H_4-O_2$ detonations. The purely plastic deformations of copper and steel tubes are modeled using the Mie-Gruneisen EOS and Johnson-Cook strength model. To precisely track the interface motion between the detonating gas and the deforming wall, we use the hybrid particle level-sets within the ghost fluid framework. The calculated results are validated against the experimental data because the results explain the process of the generation and subsequent interaction of the expansion wave with the high-strain-rate deformation of the walls.

Hot dip aluminizing (HDA) is widely used in industry for improving corrosion resistance of material. The formation of intermetallic compound layers during the contact between dissimilar materials at high temperature is common phenomenon. Generally, intermetallic compound layers of $Fe_2Al_5$ and $FeAl_3$ are formed at the Al alloy and Fe substrate interface. In case of cast iron, high contact angle of graphite existed in the matrix inhibits the formation of intermetallic compound layer, which carry with it the disadvantage of a reduced reaction area and mechanical properties. In present work, the process for the removal of graphite existed on the surface of specimen has been investigated. And also HDA was proceeded at $800^{\circ}C$ for 3 minutes in aluminum alloy melt. The efficiency of graphite removal was increased with the reduction of particle size in sanding process. Graphite appears to be present both in the region of melting followed by re-solidification and in the intermetallic compound layer, which could be attributed to the fact that the surface of cast iron is melted down by the formation of low melting point phase with the diffusion of Al and Si to the cast iron. Intermetallic compound layer consisted of $Fe(Al,Si)_3$ and $Fe_2Al_5Si$, the layer formed at cast iron side contained lower amount of Si.

It was the purpose of this study to investigate the fracture mode of dental amalgam by observing the crack propagation, and to relate this to the microstructure of the amalgam. Caulk 20th Century Regular, Caulk Spherical, Dispersalloy, and Tytin amalgam alloys were used for this study. After each amalgam alloy and Hg measured exactly by the balance was triturated by the mechanical amalgamator (Capmaster, S.S. White), the triturated mass was inserted into the cylindrical metal mold which was 4 mm in diameter and 12 mm in height and was pressed by the Instron Universal Testing Machine at the speed of 1mm/min with 120Kg. The specimen removed from the mold was stored in the room temperature for a week. This specimen was polished with the emery papers from #100 to #200 and finally on the polishing cloth with 0.06${\mu}Al_2O_3$ powder suspended in water. The specimen was placed on the Instron testing machine in the method similar to the diametral tensile test and loaded at the crosshead speed of 0.05mm/min. The load was stopped short of fracture. The cracks on the polished surface of specimen was examined with scanning electron microscope (JSM-35) and analyzed by EPMA (Electron probe microanalyzer). The following results were obtained. 1. In low copper lathe-cut amalgam, the crack went through the voids and ${\gamma}_2$ phase, through the ${\gamma}_1$ phase around the ${\gamma}$ particles. 2. In low copper spherical amalgam, it was observed that the crack passed through the ${\gamma}_2$ and ${\gamma}_1$ phase, and through the boundary between the ${\gamma}_1$ and ${\gamma}$ phase. 3. In high copper dispersant (Dispersalloy) amalgam, the crack was found to propagate at the interface between the ${\gamma}_1$ matrix and reaction ring around the dispersant (Ag-Cu) particles, and to pass through the Ag-Sn particles. 4. In high copper single composition (Tytin) amalgam, the crack went through the ${\gamma}_1$ matrix between ${\eta}$ crystals, and through the unreacted alloy particle (core).

Low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology offers significant benefits over the other established packaging technologies for high density, high microwave frequency, and fast signal application. Most conventional electroceraramics do not meet the basic requirements in respect of sinterability for LTCC technology. Attention is, therefore, focused on the role of glasses because of the capability they supply with lower sintering temperatures. In this study, commercial ceramic (MBRT-90) in the system BaO-N $d_2$ $O_3$-Ti $O_2$ (BNT: 40 ~ 80 wt%) and L $a_2$ $O_3$- $B_2$ $O_3$-Ti $O_2$ glass (LBT;60 ~ 20 wt%) were prepared. These glass/ceramic composites were evaluated for sintering behavior, phase evaluation, densities, interface reaction, crystallinity, microstructure and microwave dielectric properties. It was found that the addition LBT glass frits significantly lowered the sintering temperature to below 90$0^{\circ}C$ and as temperature increased (750~90$0^{\circ}C$) densification developed dynamically which was meant to be as over 95% of relative density. It is supposed that in the microstructure, the grain size was increased accompanying with the formation of different phases such as LaB $O_3$ and Ti $O_2$ under the condition of increasing sintering temperature. The sintered bodies represented applicable dielectric properties, namely 20 ~ 40 for $\varepsilon_{{\gamma}}$, ~ 10000 GHz for Q* $f_{0}$ and 10~80 ppm/$^{\circ}C$ for $\tau$$_{f}$. The results suggest that the composite is one of feasible candidates for the microwave use in LTCC technology.y.e use in LTCC technology.y.

The present study aims at the examination of the effects of 1 mol% NiO addition on the reaction, microstructure development, resultant electrical properties, and especially the bulk trap and interface state levels of $ZnO-Bi_2O_3-Sb_2O_3$ (Sb/Bi=0.5, 1.0, and 2.0) systems (ZBS). The samples were prepared by conventional ceramic process, and characterized by density, XRD, SEM, I-V, impedance and modulus spectroscopy (IS & MS) measurement. The sintering and electrical properties of Ni-doped ZBS (ZBSN) systems were controlled by Sb/Bi ratio. Pyrochlore ($Zn_2Bi_3Sb_3O_{14}$) was decomposed more than $100^{\circ}C$ lowered in ZBS (Sb/Bi=1.0) by Ni doping. The reproduction of pyrochlore was suppressed by the addition of Ni in ZBS. Between two polymorphs of $Zn_7Sb_2O_{12}$ spinel ($\alpha$ and $\beta$), microstructure of ZBSN (Sb/Bi=0.5) composed of a-spinel was more homogeneous than $Sb/Bi{\geq}1.0$ composed of $\beta$-spinel phase. In ZBSN, the varistor characteristics were not improved drastically (non-linear coefficient $\alpha\;=\;6{\sim}11$) and independent on microstructure according to Sb/Bi ratio. Doping of Ni to ZBS seemed to form ${V_0}^{\cdot}$ (0.33 eV) as dominant bulk defect. From IS & MS, especially the grain boundaries of Sb/Bi=0.5 systems were divided into two types, i.e. sensitive to oxygen and thus electrically active one and electrically inactive intergranular one with temperature.
