A $Li[Ni_{0.3}Co_{0.4}Mn_{0.3}]O_2$ cathode was modified by coating with Li-La-Ti-O, and the effect of the coating thickness on their electrochemical properties was studied. The thickness of the coating on the surface of $Li[Ni_{0.3}Co_{0.4}Mn_{0.3}]O_2$ was increased by increasing the wt % of the coating material. The rate capability of the Li-La-Ti-O-coated electrode was superior to that of the pristine sample. 1- and 2-wt %-coated samples showed considerable improvement in capacity retention at high C rates. However, the rate capability of a 5-wt %-coated sample decreased. All the coated samples showed a high discharge capacity and slightly improved cyclic performance under a high cut-off voltage (4.8 V) condition. Results of a storage test confirmed that the Li-La-Ti-O coating layer was effective in suppressing the dissolution of the transition metals as it offered protection from the attack of the acidic electrolyte. In particular, the 2- and 5-wt %-coated samples showed a better protection effect than the 1-wt %-coated sample.

The effects of La addition to Ni/$CeO_2$ methane partial oxidation catalysts were investigated. Catalysts were prepared by the impregnation and urea methods. In the preparation of catalysts, La content was changed from 1 wt% to 3wt%. Catalysts that contain 2wt% La showed the highest methane conversion of about 80% and CO selectivity of 84% and $H_2$ selectivity of 70%. This result may be stemmed from that, when La content is 2wt%, a fluorite oxide-type structure is well formed and carbon deposition is also decreased. Among the catalysts, 2.5wt% Ni/Ce(La)Ox showed the highest catalytic activity. From the experiment of changing reaction temperature with 2.5wt% Ni/Ce(La)Ox catalyst, it was found that the optimum reaction temperature is $750^{\circ}C$ and at this temperature methane conversion was about 90%, CO and $H_2$ selectivities were 94 and 80%, respectively.

For the $CO_2$ reforming of $CH_4$, Ni catalyst was supported on La-hexaaluminate or on $\gamma$-$Al_2O_3$. The catalytic activities of Ni/La-hexaaluminate catalysts were measured at $700^{\circ}C$ using gas chromatography (GC) for 72 h, and the reaction was maintained up to 72 hfor the investigation of catalyst deactivation. The surface of each catalyst after 72 h reaction was investigated using SEM and TEM, and the composition of the carbon deposits was investigated by using EA, TPO and TGA. Ni/La-hexaaluminate shows higher resistance to coke deposition than conventional Ni/$Al_2O_3$ which seems to be due to strong interaction between Ni and the support material. As a result of the reforming reaction, various types of carbon deposits were created on catalyst surface and the amounts of them were much smaller in the case of La-hexaaluminate than on $Al_2O_3$.

The $La_{0.7}Sr_{0.3}Cr_{1-x}Ni_{x}O_{3}$(LSCN-x) perovskites were prepared by citric acid and EDTA using a sol-gel method. The LSCN-x was characterized by BET, XRD, SEM, $H_2$-TPR, EA and TEM. The catalytic performance of LSCN-x catalysts in steam reforming of propane in the temperature range 600~$800^{\circ}C$ was investigated. Propane conversion and hydrogen yield increased with an increase in the amount of added Ni up to x=0.5 in the B-site, denoted as LSCN-0.5, under S/C=1 and S/C=1.7 reaction conditions. The LSCN-0.5 catalyst exhibited the best performance under Ni-substitution of which propane conversion and hydrogen yield was 100%, 95.9% at $800^{\circ}C$ in the S/C=1.7 condition, respectively. The morphology of carbon deposited on the catalysts after reaction exhibited filamentous carbon and amount of carbon deposited on the catalysts after reaction increased with an increase in the amount of added Ni.

Pb(Zr,Ti)O₃[PZT] thin films were prepared on a highly (100) oriented LaNiO₃[LNO] and a randomly oriented LNO by sol-gel process. The PZT thin films on a highly (100) oriented LNO show a high (100) crystal orientation (F=100 ％), those on a randomly oriented LNO show a random crystal orientation (F=60 ％). All the PZT layer have a flat and dense microstructure with large columnar grains and their grain size are 25 nm. In the ferroelectric curves at electric field of 40 kV/cm, a highly (100) oriented PZT/LNO samples show coercive field, E/sub c/=10 kV/cm and remanent polarization, P/sub r/=14.5 μC/㎠, while a randomly oriented PZT/LNO sample show E/sub c/=10 kV/cm and P/sub r/=5.4 μC/㎠.

The ferroelectric properties of PZT(53/47) thin film was investigated by methoxy enthanol solution based on sol-gel method. The thickness of each layer by spincoating 0.25M sol at one time was $0.1{\mu}m$ and crack-free film was formed. $LaNiO_3/Si(100)$ electrode and $Pt/Ti/SiO_2/Si(100)$ electrode was coated by PZT sol at several times. PZT orientation was confirmed as a method of XRD and coercive field(Ec) as well as remnant polarization(Pr) was investigated from hysterisis curve. As a result of XRD analysis, we can know that the orientation of on PZT/LNO/Si(100) is better than on $Pt/Ti/SiO_2/Si(100)$. The remnant polarization(Pr) in LNO electrode was $87.5{\mu}C/cm^2$ and $39.8{\mu}C/cm^2$ in Pt. From this figures, it is investigated that the Pr in LNO electrode was better than in Pt.

La/sub 0.8/Sr/sub 0.2/Ga/sub 0.8/Mg/sub 0.2/O/sub 3-δ/-based solid electrolytes in which Mg site was partially substituted by Fe, Co or Ni (0.05, 0.1, 0.15 at.％) were fabricated by conventional solid-state reaction and their sintered densities were above 94％ of theoretical density. X-ray diffraction analysis and microstructure observation for the sintered specimens were performed. The ac complex impedance were measured at 400。C to l000。C in air and fitted with a Solatron ZView program. The electrical conductivity of La/sub 0.8/Sr/sub 0.2/Ga/sub 0.8/Mg/sub 0.2/O/sub 3-δ/-based solid electrolytes substituted by Fe, Co or Ni was higher than that of pure La/sub 0.8/Sr/sub 0.2/Ga/sub 0.8/Mg/sub 0.2/O/sub 3-δ/. The electrical conductivity of La/sub 0.8/Sr/sub 0.2/Ga/sub 0.8/Mg/sub 0.05/Ni/sub 0.15/O/sub 3-δ/ electrolyte was 3.4×10/sup -2/ Scm/sup -1/ at 800。C and the highest value of the whole electrolytes.

This paper studies relationship between typhoon and El Ni$\tilde{n}$o La Ni$\tilde{n}$a events by using 25 years meteorological data of KMA and JMA. The results are listed below. Annual mean number of typhoon's occurrence in El Ni$\tilde{n}$o event year is 23.9, and that in La Ni$\tilde{n}$a event year is 24.9. The number of typhoon's occurrence decreases in El Ni$\tilde{n}$o event year. Mean central minimum pressure and mean maximum wind speed in El Ni$\tilde{n}$o event year are 959.3hPa and 35.8m/s, and those in La Ni$\tilde{n}$a event year are 965.5hPa and 33.7m/s respectively. Intension of typhoon is stronger in El Ni$\tilde{n}$o event year than La Ni$\tilde{n}$a event year. To be more specific mean central minimum pressure is lower 6.2hPa and mean maximum wind speed is stronger 2.1m/s. This result is closely connected with sea area of typhoon's occurrence. Typhoons in El Ni$\tilde{n}$o event year are more likely to occur in east of 150E and south of 10N, but those in La Ni$\tilde{n}$a event year are more likely to occur in 120-150E and north of 20N. Typhoons which occur in east of 150E and south of 10N can be stronger because the typhoons move in broad sea area of high sea surface temperature in western North Pacific.

LaNiO$_3$(LNO) thin films on (100) Si substrates are prepared by sol-gel method on heat treatment conditions, such as heat transfer direction, pyrolysis and annealing process, and annealing temperatures and times. The effect of heat treatment conditions on the (100) orientations, structures and resistances of the thin films are investigated by XRD, SEM(FESEM), and a lout probe method. Highly (100) orientation factor(0.97), a pseudocubic crystalline structure with a dense and uniform microstructure could be formed by the following conditions： 1) the heat transfer direction is from Si substrate to LNO, 2) the pyrolysis and annealing process are alternated, 3) the annealing temperature is $650^{\circ}C$ and 4) the annealing times is 3 minutes. The sheet resistance of thin films decreased with increasing of a annealing temperature and time, and a number of coating.
