The Fe–Al–X(Cu, Ni, Ti) composites reinforced with graphite particles were fabricated employing the powder metallurgy process for slide bearing applications. In all samples, graphite particles of 6 wt.% were added. Elemental powders were mixed to specific compositions with a powder...

In light of escalating job insecurity due to increasing numbers of nonstandard workers, this study examined the association between nonstandard employment and mental health among South Korean workers. We analyzed a representative weighted sample of 2086 men and 1194 women aged 20-64 years, using...

The aim of this literature review is to identify whether differences between welfare regimes can manifest diverse consequences for the health effects of insecure and precarious employment, as well as to address challenging issues and implications for future research.

This study examines and explains the gender disparity in health despite rapid modernization in South Korea where the social structure is still based on traditional gender relations. A nationally representative sample of 2897 men and 3286 women aged 25-64 from the 2001 Korean National Health and...

Mg2X (X = Si, Sn) thermoelectric materials are promising materials for converting solar-thermal energy to electricity. To investigate the effects of non-stoichiometric compositions and Ag-doping on the thermoelectric properties of Mg2Sn, Mg2Sn thermoelectric materials were synthesized via...

A thermoelectric material with sufficient performance at high temperatures is a key factor for thermoelectric generation from solar-thermal energy (I. R. radiation). In this study, we analyzed CoSb3 skutterudite compounds as a thermoelectric material at high temperatures and synthesized filled...
