Nutritional adequacy of growing Thoroughbred horses raised in an alternate feeding system - grazing during late spring through late fall and stable feeding for the rest of seasons - was assessed by determining vitamin E and trace mineral levels in the serum and blood chemistry related to nutrition and health. During the stable feeding in winter and early spring, 50 growing female horses were fed concentrates (1.4% of their body weight), grass hay (0.62%) and alfalfa hay (0.37%). For the grazing period, the same horses were fed supplementary concentrates (1.1%) during late spring through early summer, and concentrates (1.1%) and alfalfa hay (0.5%) during late summer through late fall. Blood samples were collected before grazing in early spring, and during grazing in early summer through late fall. Serum vitamin E, BUN, GTP, total bilirubin and direct bilirubin levels were increased (P<0.01) by grazing compared to those measured before the initiation of grazing. Horses had lower (P<0.01) serum Fe contents in early summer than in late fall or in time of stable feeding. Stable feeding increased (P<0.01) serum Cu content compared to grazing in both early summer and late fall. In late fall, serum Zn level increased (P<0.01) compared to that found in the other seasons. Blood glucose and creatinine levels decreased (P<0.01) after grazing. Results indicate that supplementations of some minerals and vitamin E are not always necessary in diets for growing horses and should be done after careful evaluation of diets with regard to concentrations and biological availability of minerals.

The purpose of this study was to understand the pollution level of the surface sediment of Sihwa Lake by assessing its geochemical characteristics and investigating the spatial distribution of trace metals and organic matter. In the surface sediment of Sihwa lake, the mean grain size was between 2.94 and 6.35 Ø and the main type of sediment was sandy silt. The concentrations of As, Co, Cr, Ni, V and Li among the metal elements in the surface sediment were correlated with the mean crust concentration (p<0.05). Based on the strong correlation between the metals (Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn) and organic matter (Ignition Loss), the concentrations of these metal elements seem to be controlled by the organic matter dilution effect. The trace metal pollution level, determined by applying the Republic of Korea Marine environmental standard and the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's sediment quality guidelines, showed the pollution level of As to be either close to or in excess of the above-mentioned standards at almost all levels. The enrichment factor and geoaccumulation index of As showed that there was an incremental increase of pollution by elements other than V, Cr, Co, Fe, Al and Mn. Moreover, the nearby industrial area and dike were more polluted than the other areas, so the surface sediments in Sihwa lake should be monitored by taking into consideration the geological variations.

The determination of trace level mercury in bio-materials has been investigated by the square wave anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV)-technique at glassy carbon electrode. Prior to analysis, the bio-materials were digested with HNO3/H2SO4 mixture and KMnO4 was added to complete the oxidation. The detection limit of the mercury varied greatly with deposition time, deposition potential, pH and stirring rate. When deposition is carried out for 240 sec with 400 rpm stirring at -1.0 volts vs. Ag/AgCl, the detection limit was below $0.5\;ppb\;(2.5{\times}10^{-9} M)$. The method is recommended for trace level mercury analysis of biomaterials because this procedure is time saving and has higher sensitivity.

This study analyze concentration of minor and trace elements on 47 white porcelains excavated from Dudong-ri, Baekryeon-ri, Sachon-ri kilns in Gyeonsangnam-do by NAA(neutron activation analysis) and try to classify the provenance and characteristics according to the analytical result. Each kilns are divided into the group by PCA(principal component analysis) and LDA(linear discrimination analysis) using 17 elements; Ba Ce, Co, Cr, Cs, Dy, Eu, Hf, La Lu, Rb, Sc, Sm, Ta, Th, V, Yb. The contribution elements are Dy, Sm, La, Ce, Lu, Sc. And soft and hard white porcelains are similar with the chemical composition of the use materials therefore the difference of the chemical composition not confirmed a cause. The analytical results of the fine(I) and poor(II) quality white porcelains presume the difference of the povenance of clay materials or the poduction process such as difference purify and additive materials.

The determination of trace level germanium in 5.0 ${\times}\;10^{-2}$ M perchloric acid supporting electrolyte solution containing 8.0 ${\times}\;10^{-2}$ M catechol has been investigated by the square wave anodic stripping voltammetry. The optimum conditions in determination of germanium were as follows: deposition time; 120 sec, deposition potential; -0.9 volts vs. Ag/AgCl and frequency; 100 Hz. The determination of germanium was possible regardless of coexistent ion such as copper, lead and silicon. Calibration curve was shown a good linearlity in the range of 0.40 ppb to 2.0 ppm and the detection limit was 0.080 ppb. This method was useful for trace level germanium due to the short analysis time and higher sensitivity.

The simultaneous determination of Zn, Cd, Pb and Cu in 1.000%(w/v) tungsten matrix by differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry at a hanging mercury drop electrode has been studied. Tartaric acid(pH=5.00) was used as a supporting electrolyte. Optimum analytical conditions were found that the deposition potential was -1.2 volt(vs. Ag/AgCl), the deposition time was 3 minutes. The linear concentration range of all trace metal ions in 1.000%(w/v) tungsten matrix were 10 to 50 ppb. And the detection limit(3${\sigma}$) of zinc, cadmium, lead and copper were 1.25, 1.02, 1.69, and 1.02 ppb respectively. This method was superior to the ICP-AES method which detection limits(3${\sigma}$) in 1.000%(w/v) tungsten matrix were 8.0, 5.0, 120 and 5 ppb respectively.

The determination of oxalic acid is carried out with Zr(IV)-XO complex by spectrophotometry. The Mechanism of this method in 1∼4N HCl solution is shown below (XO = xylenol orange); Zr(IV)+XO=Zr(IV)-XO+ excess XO, Zr(IV) - XO + oxalate = Zr(IV)-oxalate + XO When oxalic acid is added to Zr(IV)-XO complex(red color), the absorbance of Zr(IV) - XO complex is decreased in proportional to the amount of oxalic acid. The malic, malonic, maleic, fumaric, succinic, folic and glutamic acid did not interfere even if they are present in hundred times of oxalic acid. If they are present in the same amount as oxalic acid, citric and tartaric acid did not interfere but they are interfere when they are present in much more than that of oxalic acid.
