Nonlinear optical properties of TeO2-PbO-GeO2 glasses were investigated and their correlation with struc-tural modification was investigated. Third-order nonlinear susceptibility $\chi$, ranged between 5.0$\times$10-13 esu and 10.7$\times$10-13 esu which are approximately 20-40 times larger than that of silica glass. The glass with a composition of 85(80TeO2-20PbO)-15GeO2(mol%) seemed to provide an optimum compromise between $\chi$and the stability against crystallization. Analyses of the Raman spectra suggested that these glasses are mainly composed of [TeO4] tbp, [TeO3]tp and [GeO4] tetrahedral structural units. It was concluded that the positive contribution of Pb2+ with high polarizability to $\chi$ in TeO2-PbO glasses overwhelmed the negative influence due to the structural modification of [TeO4]tbplongrightarrow[TeO3]tp. On the other hand addition of GeO2 in TeO2-PbO-GeO2 glasses resulted in the decrease of $\chi$ values. This behavior was attributed to the formation of [GeO4] polyhedra at the expense of [TeOn] polyhedra and Pb2+ ions which normally sowed a higher contribu-tion to $\chi$ than [GeO4] polyhedra.

Purification on the leaching solution of the crude zinc oxide obtained by the reduction of EAF dust has been carried out. Pb and Cd ions in the leaching solution were precipitated and removed from the solution by the addition of zinc metal powder. The purification condition for electrowinning to obtain the high purity zinc metal was investigated by analyzing the effects of Pb and Cd ion concentrations on the contents of impurities in the recovered zinc metal. The 3 N purity zinc metal was obtained at the electrolysis condition of the concentrations of Pb less than 2 ppm and Cd less than 0.1 ppm in the purified solution. For this purification, the amounts of zinc metal powder more than 8.5 g/l should be added in the crude zinc oxide leached solution.

In this paper, we introduce the PB/MC-CDMA (Partial Block/Multi-Carrier-Code Division Multiple Access) system to mitigate inter-cell interference (ICI) and enhance user capacity in the small cell environment. In 5G mobile communications, the number of devices connected to the network is expected to increase exponentially with the expansion of the IoT (Internet of Things) services. In addition, each device is expected to be required by the various data rates by their content types. In LTE/LTE-A, there are some limitations that large scale connectivity and supporting various data rates. Therefore, we introduce a PB/MC-CDMA physical layer system which is suitable for the small cell environment, and evaluate the performance in the multi cell environment which is affected by ICI. Through computer simulation results, we demonstrate the effectiveness of PB/MC-CDMA for the small cell environment.

In this study, the shielding rate of major X-ray protective equipment used in the medical environment was calculated using X-ray spectrum data emitted from the diagnostic X-ray generator of The Institute of Physics and Engineering(IPEM) Report-78, and the applicability of radiation protection was investigated. Radiation shielding rates were calculated through reduction rates of air-kerma and total intensity for lead apron (0.3 mmPb), thyroid shield (0.5 mmPb), lead goggles (0.5 mmPb), and lead glass (1.8, 2.7, 3.3 mmPb) used for diagnostic X-ray protection. As a result, the shielding rate calculated as the air kerma reduction rate ranged from 96.31 to 100% at 80 kV, and 90.35 to 100% at 120 kV. In addition, the results of this calculation were well matched with the results of previous studies measuring the actual shielding rate, and it is expected that the X-ray spectrum data of IPEM Report-78 can be used for radiation protection.

As a basic research on applying the microbial strains which had been isolated and proved to remove heavy metals, such as Pb, Cd, Zn, and Cu in This laboratory to actual wastewater treatment, optimum condition of the treatment system with addition of single or multiple species of pollutants and microorganisms were investigated at small scale. Concentration of the bacterial inoculum was 3000mg/L and 1500mg/L of MLSS for treatment with single and multiple species, respectively. Removal rates of heavy metals were expressed at HRT’s (Hydraulic Retention Time) of 12, 24, and 48 hr. Removal rates of Pb, Cd, Zn, and Cu after 12 days at HRT of 24hr with addition of single and multiple species were 93%, 90%, 80%, and 39%, and 75%, 90%, 74%, and 48%, respectively. Judging from these results, treatment capability of the isolated strains is excellent. Hence, the microorganisms are expected to be applicable to actual wastewater treatment.

The purpose of this study is to reveal the characteristics, correlations, and colorant materials of those using the chemical compositions of 30 glasses excavated from the Sarari hall of the Mireuksaji stone pagoda, and to determine the correlations between them and other glass excavated from the Wanggungri site. The results of the chemical analysis of the 11 glass beads show that they are a soda glass group with high contents of $SiO_2$ and $Na_2O$; these can be further subdivided into soda-alumina groups ($Na_2O-Al_2O_3-CaO-Si_2O$). The characteristics of the stabilizer are classified as being of the high alumina glass group (LCHA), except for two glasses. It was concluded that colorant materials affected the coloring for glass beads by various components including Ti, Mn, Fe, Cu and Pb. In addition, we examined six lead glasses which are glass plate and unknown fragments that are of a common lead glass system ($PbO-SiO_2$) with respect to the average contents of PbO (70wt.%) and $SiO_2$ (30wt.%). As a result of comparing these relics with those of the glass beads excavated by Wanggungri, there is a similarity in that they belong to the soda glass group. However, the contents of $Na_2O$ are relatively higher than that of the glass beads in the Mireuksaji pagoda, and most of relics include glasses with a low content of $K_2O$ and CaO. In addition, the PbO and $SiO_2$ contents are slightly different in the lead glass. It seems that the glass relics made at two different sites may have used different raw materials or techniques.

We investigated the effect of both 4 types additives and $0.5wt\%\;Pb_3O_4$ which have been reported to show an improvement on the performance of Zinc anode. And Experimental methods such as corrosion potential measurement, potentiodynamic polorization test and charging-discharging cycle life test were carried out in $40 wt\%$ KOH with $Pb_3O_4(0.5, \;10\;&\;2.0wt\%)$ and 4 types additives $(0.4wt\%\;of\;Ca(OH)_2$, 0.025M of Citrate, Tartrate and Gluconate). Corrosion potential was shifted to high direction and also changed to high and low direction repeatedly with increasing of $Pb_3O_4$ quantity. However by adding $0.5wt\%\;Pb_3O_4$, corrosion potential shifted to low direction and showed stable condition. Furthermore it was well known that corrosion resistance was predominantly increased compared to no addition and improved charging-discharging property with adding additives. By SEM analysis, it was concluded that the morphology of surface in case of only $0.5wt\%\;Pb_3O_4$ addition was nearly the same as that of Tartrate additive and in the other additives such as $Ca(OH)_2$, Citrate, Tartrate and Gluconate, their morphologies showed dendrite growth. Eventually it was thought that the additive of Tartrate indicated comparatively good corrosion resistance effect as well as charging-discharging property improvement among those four types additives.

Both lead molybdate ($PbMoO_4$) and chromium substituted lead molybdate ($PbMo_{1-x}Cr_xO_4$) were successfully synthesized using a conventional hydrothermal method and characterized by XRD, DRS, Raman, SEM and PL. We also investigated the photocatalytic activity of these materials for the decomposition of rhodamine B under UV-visible irradiation. The XRD and Raman results revealed the successful synthesis of well-crystallized $PbMoO_4$ crystals with the diameter of 51-59 nm, regardless of the addition of chromium ion. The DRS spectra of $PbMo_{1-x}Cr_xO_4$ catalysts showed new intensive absorption bands in the visible region. The $PbMoO_4$ catalysts showed the lowest photocatalytic activity and the activity increased with an increase of chromium substitution amounts under visible irradiation. PL peaks appeared at about 540-580 nm for all catalysts and excitonic PL signals were proportional to the photocatalytic activity for the decomposition of rhodamine B.

Perovskite solar cells have received increasing attention in recent years because of their outstanding power conversion efficiency (exceeding 22%). However, they typically contain toxic Pb, which is a limiting factor for industrialization. We focused on preparing Pb-free perovskite films of Ag-Bi-I trivalent compounds. Perovskite thin films with improved optical properties were obtained by applying an anti-solvent (toluene) washing technique during the spin coating of perovskites. In addition, the surface condition of the perovskite film was optimized using a multi-step thermal annealing treatment. Using the optimized process parameters, $AgBi_2I_7$ perovskite films with good absorption and improved planar surface topography (root mean square roughness decreased from 80 to 26 nm) were obtained. This study is expected to open up new possibilities for the development of high performance $AgBi_2I_7$ perovskite solar cells for applications in Pb-free energy conversion devices.
