For the preparation of tricalciumaluminate $(C_3A)$ clinker, in traditional clinkering method using oxides and carbonates as a raw material, uneconomical repetition of burning have been necessary to avoid the melting of clinker by eutectic reaction in the system $CaO-Al_2O_3$. In this study, special starting raw materials for the clinker burning were prepared from a mixture of oyster shell and aluminium hydroxide by heating to $1100^{\circ}C$ and hydrating at $30^{\circ}C$. The starting raw materials, hardened body with weak hydraulic strength, were mainly composed of $C_3AH_6$ formed by resolution-precipitation mechanism of the system $CaO-Al_2O_3-H_2O$. By heating them, relatively pure $C_3A$ clinker could be obtained by one-time burning at the fairly lower temperature than that of conventional method. The easier formation of $C_3A$ clinker seemed to be caused by higher compositional homogeneity and stoichiometry of the starting materials, high surface area and crystallographic instability of the thermally decomposed products, and the catalytic effect of decomposed moisture on the early-stage crystallization of calciumaluminates. The basic hydration behavior of the clinker was also confirmed.

It has many variables and factors to design the friction materials for automotive brake pads. In this study, the friction and wear characteristics of automotive blake pads have been studied using 1:l full size dynamo meter. Using conventional manners, it takes a great of time and efforts to know that it affects the each raw materials for friction characteristics. For the purpose of examining the effect of each major raw materials, we used the more convenient Taguchi L9 ($3^4$) orthogonal matrix and 1/5 scale dynamo machine for evaluation of the friction characteristics of composite brake pads.

This study conducted to investigate the impact of raw material freshness on the quality and hygienic safety of anchovy fish sauce and suggest the importance of raw material freshness to make high-quality and hygienic anchovy fish sauce by measuring the chemical compositions and histamine. To devide the raw material's freshness levels, raw anchovy was left for 24 hours and was sampled every 4 hour(Group I-VII). As a result, the levels of VBN(volatile basic nitrogen) and histamine increased as time passed each contents were 16.29-87.65 mg/100 g and 6.14-1499.63 mg/100 g respectively. As fish sauce fermented for 18 months, the contents of VBN were 205.31-270.51 mg/100 g and histamine were 120.54-1707.22 mg/100 g, respectively. These results means the levels of VBN and histamine of raw materials are significantly associated with the hygiene of anchovy fish sauce. To investigate the reason of different contents of histamine at each fish sauce, bacteria from each groups were isolated and identified. At group V-VII those the lowest three groups, Leconostoc mesenteroides ssp. cremoris was identified and that produced the highest content of histamine 22.88-101.69 mg/kg and the others produced histamine 3.79-20.2 mg/kg. This means that fish sauce made by low freshness materials contain bacteria have strong ability to make histamine from histidine. Therefore, the freshness of raw material influences the hygiene and safety of fish sauce, and it is most important to manage the freshness of raw material to make the high quality and hygienically safe fish sauce.

In order to identify changes in the nature of the particles due to changes in the inflow rate of the raw material solution, the present study was intended to prepare nano-sized cobalt oxide ($Co_3O_4$) powder with an average particle size of 50 nm or less by spray pyrolysis reaction using raw cobalt chloride solution. As the inflow rate of the raw material solution increased, droplets formed by the pyrolysis reaction showed more divided form and the particle size distribution was more uneven. As the inflow rate of the solution increased from 2 to 10 ml/min, the average particle size of the formed particles increased from about 25 nm to 40 nm, while the average particle size did not show significant changes when the inflow rate increased from 10 to 50 ml/min. XRD analysis showed that the intensity of the XRD peaks increased remarkably when the inflow rate of the solution increased from 2 to 10 ml/min. On the other hand, the peak intensity stayed almost constant when the inflow rate increased from 10 to 50 ml/min. With the increase in the inflow rate from 2 to 10 ml/min, the specific surface area of the particles decreased by approximately 20 %. On the contrary, the specific surface area stayed constant when the inflow rate increased from 10 to 50 ml/min.

Fly ash is a by-product of coal fired electrical power plants and used as a material for cement and concrete; particularly, imported fly ash is mainly applied for cement production. Main objectives of this article are to replace domestic fly ash with an imported source. To verify the possibility of domestic fly ash as a material for cement from the aspect of chemical composition and physical properties, we manufactured various kinds of cement, such as using only natural raw material, shale, and partial replacement with domestic and imported fly ash. When we used the domestic and imported fly ash, there were no specific problems in terms of clinker synthesis or cement manufacturing in relation to the natural material, shale. In conclusion, domestic fly ash has been confirmed as an alternative raw material for cement because 7 days and 28 days compressive strength values were better than those of reference cement using natural raw material, on top of the process issue.

It has many variables and factors to design the friction materials for automotive brake pads. The purpose of this study is to develop the proper method for design of low-cost and to know friction characteristics of each raw materials. For the purpose of examining the effect of each major raw materials, we used the Taguchi L9(3$^4$)orthogonal matrix and 1/5 scale dynamo machine for evaluation of the friction characteristics of composite brake pads. By adapting the Taguchi method, it is easy to investigate the influence of each component in complicated composites friction materials. After analyzing the testing results by the Taguchi method, the effect of factors and levels influenced friction behavior was studied.

Postabsorptive serum iron level was determined after oral administration of the compounds to human. In serum and whole blood, $Fe^{3+}$ was measured by ion chromatography (IC) using a pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid (PDCA) as an eluent. The serum sample solutions were pretreated with I N HCI and 50% TCA. The whole blood sample solutions were treated with 3 N HCI for 30 min at $125^{\circ}C$. The limit of detection (LOD) of the IC technique is $0.2 {\mu}M$ for$Fe^{2+}$and 0.1 $\mu$M for $Fe^{3+}$. The area under concentration (AUC) can be obtained by the above analytical condition. In addition, to compare the stability of $Fe^{2+}$ to that of $Fe^{3+}$ in pharamaceutical preparations, accelerated stability test was carried out. After storing the samples under $40^{\circ}C$, 75%RH in light-resistant container for various time intervals, the contents of iron of different valencies were determined separately by the IC technique and the change and/or the interchange of among those iron species in preparations was investigated. Iron raw materials are stable, but $Fe^{2+}$ in$Fe^{3+}$ source materials was slightly converted to $Fe^{3+}$ by oxidation. $Fe^{2+}$ in$Fe^{3+}$ source raw materials and $Fe^{3+}$ in $Fe^{2+}$ raw materials are determined as impurities. Therefore, IC technique is found to be an appropriate method for comparative evaluation of dissimilar bioavailability of $Fe^{2+}$ and $Fe^{3+}$, stability of $Fe^{2+}$ and $Fe^{3+}$ raw materials and preparations.

γ-dicalcium silicate(γ-C₂S) is known as a polymorphism of belite. Due to its high CO₂ fixing capacity and the production process with low CO₂ emission, γ-C₂S has attracted more attention of researchers. For the further development of γ-C₂S applications in construction industry, this study aims to investigate the method for synthesizing high purity of γ-C₂S. The influence of raw materials and calcination temperatures on the purity of γ-C₂S was 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 calcined under different temperatures. The results revealed that the highest purity could be obtained using Ca(OH)₂ and SiO₂ powder as raw materials. In addition, a relatively economic synthesis method using natural mineral materials-limestone and silica sand as raw materials were developed for the practical application. The purity of synthetic γ-C₂S was recorded up to 77.6%.
