An inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer/shielding system was specially designed and built for the analysis of radioactive materials. Both of an inductively coupled plasma source and a sample transfer system to be contacted with radioactive materials was installed in a stainless steel glove box. In terms of analytical capability and radiation safety, characteristic feature of the system was investigated. Its applicability to the determination of fission products and corrosion products in the radioactive materials such as spent fuel dissolver solution and the primary coolant of nuclear power reactors was evaluated. In the concentration range $0.01-0.1mgL^{-1}$, the relative standard deviation was found to be less than 5%.

A spectrofluorimetric methods has been developed for the determination of carbaryl in an aqueous solution. The effects of excitation wavelength, concentration of surfactant, concentration of ethanol as cosurfactant and emission wavelength on the fluorescence intensity were investigated to find the optimum experimental conditions to determine carbaryl. The emission intensity of the carbayl was increased with addition of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as a surfactant. The emission intensity of the carbaryl was further increased with addition of ethanol as a co-surfactant. The optimum conditions were 281 nm for excitation wavelength, $1.0{\times}10^{-2}mol/L$ SDS, 20% (v/v) ethanol and 349 nm for emission wavelength. Under the optimum conditions, the emission intensity increased with the carbaryl concentration in the range of $5{\times}10^{-7}$ to $1.0{\times}10^{-4}mol/L$ with a detection limit ($3{\sigma}$) of $1.1{\times}10^{-8}mol/L$. The resulting correlation coefficient of the working curve was 0.9996.

Excitation and emission characteristics were reviewed for phosphors which were reported, applied, or suggested for the plasma display panel (PDP). Correlation of luminescence characteristics to the host crystal structure and the activator of the phosphor was explained. Improvements of the PDP phosphor for the practicality were considered.

In this study, research is in order to prevent the defects that occur when the polished tiles construction. For material to be used when the polishing tile construction, trying to evaluate the shrinkage characteristics when the environmental conditions change. Depending on the material used for the shrinkage characteristics evaluation results, the difference between the change values of the length of the drying shrinkage becomes large. Therefore, there is a need for the construction method with consideration of the characteristics of the materials used.

A fluorimetric method for the determination of Fe(Ⅲ) using N,N'-oxalylbis(2-pyridyl-3'-sulphobenzoyl hydrazone)(OPSH) as a emission reagent has been developed. Determination has been performed by measuring the fluorescence intensity of Fe(Ⅲ) complex at 367 nm in aqueous solution (pH 3) with 290 nm excitation. There was a linear relationship between Fe(Ⅲ) concentration and fluorescence intensity over the range 2000∼10 ng/ml. The method has been applied to the determination of Fe(Ⅲ) in synthetic mixtures and tap water

The asymptotic convergence of a coupled dynamic system, which is motivated from infinite dimensional adaptive systems, is investigated. The convergence analysis is formulated in abstract Banch spaces and is shown to applicable to a broad class of infinite dimensional systems including adaptive identification and adaptive control. Particularly it is shown that if a uniquely existing solution is p-th power integrable, then the solution converges to zero asymptotically. The persistence of excitation(PE) of a signal which arises in an infinite dimensional adaptive system is investigated. The PE property is not completely known yet for infinite dimensional adaptive systems, however it should be investigated in relation to spatial variable, boundary conditions as well as time variable.

The failure phenomenon of overlaid concrete structures, such as surface crack, and peel-off failure, shear bond failure in the end contact zone, was investigated due to humidity changes. To investigate this failure phenomenon, the surface tensile stress, and the shear stress, the vertical tensile stress in the contact zone were analysed using the non-linear stress-strain relationship of material such as strain-hardening- and strain-softening diagrams. Overlay thickness and overlay material were the main variables in the analyses. It is assumed that the initial surface humidity of overlaid concrete structures was 100％ r.H. With a atmospheric humidity of 55％ r.H. and two load cases for drying(LCI), curing and drying(LC2), the stress states of overlaid concrete structures were calculated. The result shows that only fictitious cracks occurred in the overlay surface of CM2O, ECM25, and no shear bond failure occurred in the contact zone without CM2O. The peel-off failure was proved to be the main cause of the damage in the overlaid concrete structures. Only for overlay thickness of 1cm occurred no peel-off failure in the case of drying after a long-term public use(LC1). In the case of curing and drying during overlay work(LC2) occurred the peel-off failure within 1.5days for all the overlaid concrete structures.

Methods to determine terbium(III) ion in aqueous solution by measuring the enhanced fluorescence intensity of terbium(III)-terephthalic acid(TPA) complex ion have been studied. The optimum analytical conditions for pH, excitation wavelength and concentration of TPA were found to be 6.0, 260nm and $4.0{\times}10^{-4}M$, respectively. The fluorescence intensity of the terbium(III) complex ion was further increased with addition of trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO). In this case Triton X-100 was used to dissolve TOPO in aqueous solution. When TOPO was used, the optimum analytical conditions for pH, excitation wavelength, and concentrations of TPA, TOPO and Triton X-100 were found to be 4.5, 285nm. $4.0{\times}10^{-4}M$, $5.0{\times}10^{-5}M$, and 0.05%, respectively. Under the optimum experimental conditions, calibration curve for Tb(III) was linear over the range from $4.0{\times}10^{-8}M$ to $4.0{\times}10^{-5}M$ and the detection limit was $4.0{\times}10^{-8}M$. When TOPO was used, the concentration range of linear response, and the detection limit were $4.0{\times}10^{-9}M$ to $2.0{\times}10^{-6}M$, and $4.0{\times}10^{-9}M$, respectively. Effects of interferences from various cations for the determination of terbium(III) ion were also investigated.

Study on the chemical speciation of uranium(VI) species, ${UO_2}^{2+}$, $UO_2(OH)^+$, ${(UO_2)}_2{(OH)_2}^{2+}$, ${(UO_2)}_3{(OH)_5}^+$, has been peformed by using time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy. Speciation sensitivity which depends on the excitation wavelength was investigated. We obtained the speciation sensitivity in the order of $10^{-9}$ M concentration of U(VI) compounds at the excitation wavelength of 266 nm. The fluorescence spectrum and lifetime of ${UO_2}^{2+}$ were carefully measured at pH 1 and ion strength of 0.1 M. The spectrum showed the four characteristic peaks located around 488, 509, 533, 559nm and the fluorescence lifetime of $1.92{\pm}0.17{\mu}s$. The wavelength shifts of fluorescence peaks and the change of lifetimes for uranium hydrolysis compounds were compared with those of ${UO_2}^{2+}$. We report on the characteristic features, the shifts of peaks to the longer wavelength direction and the prolonged lifetimes, in the fluorescence of the U(VI) hydrolysis compounds.
