Sediment samples were taken at about half-mile intervals from all the inajor rivers draining the St. Austell granite mass. The minus 80 mesh(B.S.S.) fraction of each sample was analysed, using semiquantitative methods, for sodium, potassium, lithium, phosphorus, nickel, chromium, tin, tungsten, arsenic copper, zinc and lead. The work was carried out with the view to gaining further information as to the geographical distribution of such different granite facies as might axist, and to investigate the geochemical dispersion of these elements with relation to mineralisation in this area. The sesults confirm Exley's suggestion that the mass consists of two major granite intrusions, the earlier undifferentiated one is joined on the west by a later differentiated intrutive. During the work grid deviation maps proved particularly useful in obtaining data concerning the nature of the granite but frequency diagrams were not particularly helpful. All the known lode areas were associated with stream sediments containing anomalously high concentrations of lode metals and it is concluded that these high concentrations are due premarily to lode material transferred to the streams in the form of tailings lost during milling operations.

We attempted an experimental study of lost-wax casting to reconstruct the Gilt-bronze pensive Bodhisattva; The main object we aimed to reconstruct was the Korean national treasure No.83, Gilt-bronze pensive Bodhisattva(Maitreya); thus, we scientifically analyzed and measured the alloy ratio and casting method. Initially, the alloy ratio we used during the preliminary experiment was Cu:Sn:Pb = 95.5:4.0:0.5; we then increased tin and lead by 2.5% to consider vaporization during the main experiment. After applying lost-wax casting, we realized that 30% rosin contributed to proper hardness after the wax hardness experiment. The microstructure revealed normal casting character(α-Cu, δ), and the results of the chemical analysis are identical to those of previous studies. The analysis of the mold suggests the presence of quartz powder for structural stability and fire-resistance along with other organic materials whose contribution is still unknown. We expect that our research will serve to provide basic data for advanced studies in the future.

We investigate the via-size dependance of as-electroplated- and reflow-bump shapes for realizing both high-density and high-aspect ratio of solder bump. The solder bump is fabricated by subsequent processes as follows. After sputtering a TiW/Al electrode on a 5-inch Si-wafer, a thick photoresist for via formation it obtained by multiple-codling method and then vias with various diameters are defined by a conventional photolithography technique using a contact alinger with an I-line source. After via formation the under ball metallurgy (UBM) structure with Ti-adhesion and Cu-seed layers is sputtered on a sample. Cu-layer and Sn/pb-layer with a competition ratio of 6 to 4 are electroplated by a selective electroplating method. The reflow-bump diameters at bottom are unchanged, compared with as-electroplated diameters. As-electroplated- and reflow-bump shapes, however, depend significantly on the via size. The heights of as-electroplated and reflow bumps increase with the larger cia, while the aspect ratio of bump decreases. The nearest bumps may be touched by decreasing the bump pitch in order to obtain high-density bump. The touching between the nearest bumps occurs during the overplating procedure rather than the reflowing procedure because the mushroom diameter formed by overplating is larger than the reflow-bump diameter. The arrangement as zig-zag rows can be effective for realizing the flip-chip-interconnect bump with both high-density and high-aspect ratio.

To clarify of chemical contents for the Keumsan ginseng, two attempts have been done for two year: 2 year and 4 year-ginsengs coilected from the phyllite(Ph0 and granite area(Gr), and 1 year, 2 year and 3 year-ginsengs collected from the phyllite(Ph), shale(Sh) and granite (Gr), In the first attempt, the soil contents of the Ph are high in most of elements. In the comparisons between ages of the ginseng, regardless the area, most of the elements are high in the 4 year and these trends are distinctive in the granite area. In the comparisons of the areas, 2 year-ginsengs of the Ph show high contents in the most of the elements. Comparisons between upper part(leaf and branch) and root part of the ginsengs show that in the 2 year-ginseng, the Gr is high in the root part and the Ph is high in the upper part, while in the 4 year-ginseng, most of the elements are high in the root part. Comparisons between contents of soil and ginsengs show similar in crease and decrese trends. However, the 2 year-ginsengs show clear differences between two areas while in the 4 year-ginseng, differences between the Gr and Ph is not clear. It suggest that the ginsengs absorb eligible element contents with ages, despite of clear content differences of the different soils. In the second attempt, the Gr shows high W, Pb, Th, U, Sn and B contents wlile Ph and Sh show high Ni, Cr, Co, Sc, V, As, Cu and Zn contents. In the comparisons between ages of the ginseng, regardless the area, most of the elements are high in the 2 year, especially in the Gr and Ph. In the comparisons of the areas, 2 year-ginsengs of the Gr show low contents in the most of the elements, and the S1 show higher Ni, V, Th and U contents than the Ph. 3 year-ginsengs of the Gr show low contents in the most of the elements, while the S1 show high contents in the most of elements. relative to the Ph. Comparisons between upper part and root part of the ginsengs show that in the ginseng, regardless the ages, the upper part is high. Comparisons between contents of soil and ginsengs show similar increase and decrese trends, and soil is low than the ginsengs in the most of the elements

급증하는 무선통신 정보수요는 특히, 고주파대역 (300NHz-300GHz)에서 사용되는 공진기, 필터, 발진기 등과 같은 소자의 품질향상을 요구하고 있다. 고주파용 유전체 중 ZrTiO4 는 $\alpha$-PbO2 계열의 사방정구조를 갖고 있는 유전체로서 높은 유전율 ($\varepsilon$=40)과 높은 품질계수 (Q=1/tan$\delta$=4700 at 7GHz)를 갖고 있고, Sn 첨가시 0ppm/$^{\circ}C$의 공진주파수 온도계수를 얻을 수 있다고 보고되어 있다. 본 연구에서는 약 110$0^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 안정한 상으로 존재하는 ZrTiO4를 저온에서 증착하여 준안정한 상태로 결정화되게 한후, 유전손실 (tan$\delta$)과 유전율($\varepsilon$)을 측정하였다. 또한 증착온도와 열처리과정에 따른 박막의 us형 (Strain) 정도의 변화를 X-선 회절결과로부터 분석하였으며 이를 측정된 유전특성 값과 비교하였다. ZrTiO4 박막은 DC magnetron reactive sputter로 Zr과 Ti 타겟으로부터 high phosphorous doped Si (100) 기판위에 증착하였다. 압력은 4mTorr로 유지하고 박막의 화학양론적 조성비를 맞추기 위해 각 타겟에 가해지는 power는 Zr/Ti=500W/650W로 고정하고, 반응가스의 비율을 Ar/O2=17sccm/3.5sccm으로 유지하여 박막내에 인입되는 산소량을 제어하였다. 증착 직후와 열처리 후의 박막특성을 비교하기 위해 증착온도를 상온에서부터 $600^{\circ}C$까지 변호시키고 증착후 각각의 시편을 80$0^{\circ}C$ 산소분위기에서 2시간동안 열처리하여 시편을 준비하였다. 박막의 상형성 여부와 결정성변화는 $ heta$-2$\theta$X-선 회절법을 사용하여 조사하였고, EPMA를 이용하여 박막의 조성을 확인하였다. 유전특성의 측정을 위해 백금 상부전극을 증착한 후, impedance analyzer를 이용하여 100kHz 영역에서의 유전손실을 측정하고, 측정된 정전용량과 박막의 두께로부터 유전율을 계산하였다. ZrTiO4 박막은 증착온도 20$0^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 결정성을 보이기 시작했으며, 열처리 이후에는 상온에서 비정질이었던 시편이 $650^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도에서 결정화되기 시작하였다. 증착온도에 따라 유전손실은 0.038에서 0.017 정도로 감소하는 경향을 나타냈으며, 각각 열처리에 의해서 0.034, 0.005 정도로 다시 감소하였다. 박막의 유전율은 약 35 정도의 값을 나타내었으며 X-선 회절 data로부터 분석한 박막의 변형은 증온도에 따라 7.2%에서 0.04%로 감소하였고 이 이경향은 유전손실은 감소경향과 일치하였다.

In this paper, Gilt-bronze Standing Avaolkiteshvara (National Treasure No. 293, M355) excavated at Gyuam-ri in Buyeo was observed with a microscope to identify the production technique applied to it. It was also analyzed with XRF and hard X-ray to identify the composition and the surface treatment techniques and casting method applied. In this statue, Avalokiteshvara is standing upright on a lotus pedestal. The lotus designs on the pedestal and those on the shawl flowing down on both sides of the statue are characteristic of Buddhist statues from the seventh century or later. The use of supports to affix the outer and inner molds and traces of injected cast were observed in the interior of the pedestal. The blisters on the arms and pedestal created during the bronze casting indicate the use of lost-wax casting, which was popularly employed for the production of mid- or small-sized gilt-bronze Buddhist statues in ancient times. The composition analysis identified a copper-tin-lead ternary alloy in the interior of the statue that was conventional used in the sixth and seventh centuries. It is likely that this simple alloy was used to facilitate casting and produce clearer expressions of designs and ornaments on the statue. Mercury (Hg) was detected on the surface of the statue, indicating the use of amalgam-plating with gold (Au) dissolved in mercury. This plating method is a common surface treatment technique used for small gilt-bronze statutes in ancient Korea.

The Polyvinyl alcohol(PVA) oxidase involved in PVA degradation by microorganism has been purified to homogeneity from culture broth of Xanthomonas campestris J2Y grown in a minimal medium containing PVA as a sole carbon source. The enzyme was purified by DEAE-cellulose chromatograpy and Sephadex G-150 gel filtration. The purified PVA oxidase was electrophoretically homogeneous both in the absence and presence of SDS. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be about 55,000 daltons by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and Sephadex G-150 gel filtration. The native enzyme existed as a monomer. The optimal pH and temperature was shown to be pH 7 and $37^{\circ}C$ respectively. The activity of enzyme was stable below $55^{\circ}C$ and between pH range of $5{\sim}11$. The enzyme activity was significantly inhibited by metal compounds such as $Ag^{2+},\;Hg^{2+}$. While, metal ions such as $Mn^{2+},\;and\;Cu^{2+}$ stimulated the reaction. Km value of the enzyme for PVA was $7.04{\times}10^{-2}mmol/{\ell}$.

Over the last few years, lead-free inorganic metal perovskites have gained impressive ground in empowering satellites in space exploration owing to their material stability and performance evolution under extreme space environments. The present work has examined the versatility of eight such perovskites as space radiation shielding materials by computing their photon, charged particles and neutron interaction parameters. Photon interaction parameters were calculated for a wide energy range using PAGEX software. The ranges of heavy charged particles (H, He, C, N, O, Ne, Mg, Si and Fe ions) in these perovskites were estimated using SRIM software in the energy range 1 keV-10 GeV, and that of electrons was computed using ESTAR NIST software in the energy range 0.01 MeV-1 GeV. Further, the macroscopic fast neutron removal cross-sections were also calculated to estimate the neutron shielding efficiencies. The examined shielding parameters of the perovskites varied depending on the radiation type and energy. Among the selected perovskites, Cs₂TiI₆ and Ba₂AgIO₆ displayed superior photon attenuation properties. A 3.5 cm thick Ba₂AgIO₆-based shield could reduce the incident radiation intensity to half its initial value, a thickness even lesser than that of Pb-glass. Besides, CsSnBr₃ and La_0.8Ca_0.2Ni_0.5Ti_0.5O₃ displayed the highest and lowest range values, respectively, for all heavy charged particles. Ba₂AgIO₆ showed electron stopping power (on par with Kovar) better than that of other examined materials. Interestingly, La_0.8Ca_0.2Ni_0.5Ti_0.5O₃ demonstrated neutron removal cross-section values greater than that of standard neutron shielding materials - aluminium and polyethylene. On the whole, the present study not only demonstrates the employment prospects of eco-friendly perovskites for shielding space radiations but also suggests future prospects for research in this direction.

Wet chemical analysis (for $MnO_2$, MnO, and $H_2O$(+)) and electron microprobe analysis (for $Fe_2O_3$ and PbO) give $MnO_2$ 74.91, MnO 11.33, $Fe_2O_3$ (total Fe) 4.19, PbO 0.03, $H_2O$ (+) 9.46, sum 99.92%. 'Available oxygen determined by oxalate titration method is allotted to $MnO_2$ from total Mn, and the remaining Mn is calculated as MnO. Traces of Ba, Ca, Mg, K, Cu, Zn, and Al were found. Li and Na were not found. The existence of (OH) is verified from the infrared absorption spectra. The analysis corresponds to the formula $Mn^{4+}{_{4.85}}(Mn^{2+}{_{0.90}}Fe^{3+}{_{0.30}})_{1.20}O_{8.09}(OH)_{5.91}$, on the basis of O=14, 'or ideally $Mn^{4+}{_{5-x}}(Mn^{2+},Fe^{3+})_{1+x}O_{8}(OH)_{6}$ ($x{\approx}0.2$). X-ray single crystal study could not be made because of the distortion of single crystals. But the x-ray powder pattern is satisfactorily indexed by an orthorhombic cell with a 9.324, b 14.05, c $7.956{\AA}$., Z=4.

Wild grape extract (WGE) was added into hwajeon at different concentrations (0, 5, 15, 30, 50% of water). The resulting hwajeon were analyzed for their physicochemical and sensory properties. With increasing concentrations of WGE, the pH of dough and hwajeon decreased, and their degrees brix and color intensity increased, presumably due to the presence of tartaric acid, sugar, and anthocyanin in the WGE. The WGE-enriched hwajeon showed higher hardness, gumminess, and chewiness than control hwajeon, which might have been because the sugar and tartaric acid in the WGE partially inhibited starch gelatinization during heat processing. Nevertheless, all the sensory properties and preference were higher in WGE-enriched hwajeon than controls, which could be partially attributed to the fact of that the WGE-enriched hwajeon retained relatively higher moisture. It is suggested that WGE-enriched hwajeon with high preference could be prepared without loss of hwajeon quality.
