The effects of subsurface inhomogeneities on the detection of buried metal pipes in ground-penetrating radar(GPR) signals are investigated numerically. To model the electrical properties of the subsurface inhomogeneities, the continuous random media(CRM) generation technique is introduced. For the electromagnetic simulation of GPR signals, the finite-difference time-domain(FDTD) method is implemented. As a function of the standard deviation and the correlation length of the relative permittivity distribution for a randomly inhomogeneous ground, the GPR signals of the buried metal pipes are compared using numerical simulations. As the subsurface inhomogeneities increase, the GPR signals of the buried pipes are distorted because of the effect of the subsurface clutter.

Fifteen volatile organic pollutants were spiked in blank water at the concentration of $20{\mu}g/L$ and analyzed with Purge and Trap and GC/MS. As a result, the overall mean recovery of 100% was obtained with a mean relative standard deviation of 3.6%. The method detection limits were in the range of $1.9{\sim}3.3{\mu}g/L$. In the wastewater analysis of Banwol dyeing comlex, 15 organic compounds were identified and three of these were quantified. Among the compounds identified, only trichloroethylene and tetrachloroethylene are regulated in wastewater by the Korea Ministry of Environment. But, the concentration of these two compounds were below the government allowance level.

The solid phase microextrction (SPME) fiber which contains $100{\mu}m$ polydimethyl siloxane of a stationary phase was used for the analysis of volatile organic compounds contained in aqueous solution. sixteen volatile organic compounds, which were spiked in blank water and extracted by the headspace SPME techique, were analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Analytical results showed that the percent of average recoveries and relative standard deviations were 97% and 4.7%, respectively. The value of detection limit was ranged from 0.01 to $0.5{\mu}g/l$. These results are more accurate than those obtained by the other methods such as purge and trap and headspace methods.

A simple prepared paste electrode (PE) of DNA immobilized on a carbon nanotube was utilized for monitoring the antibacterial agent oxytetracycline (OTC), using square-wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). Given these conditions, SWASV and CV working ranges were observed within 1-10 ngL-1 OTC. In the SWASV and CV for OTC concentrations of 0.1 mgL-1, the relative standard deviations (n=15) were 0.068 and 0.067, respectively. At the optimized condition, the detection limit was found to be 0.4 ngL-1 OTC. This method was applied to the hatchery fish tissue.

일반적으로 미래 기후자료를 산출하기 위하여 기후 시스템을 수치화한 GCM에 의한 결과를 사용한다. 하지만 GCM의 시공간적인 해상도의 문제로 기후변화에 따른 수자원 영향 분석을 위해서는 축소기법의 적용과정이 필요하다. 이를 위하여 전세계적으로 통계학적 방법에 의한 일기발생기를 이용한 축소기법 방법이 많이 이용되고 있다. 하지만 일기발생기에 의한 방법은 월 평균값의 연간 변동성이나 계절적 변화를 재현하는데 한계가 있는 것이 사실이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 일기 발생기의 한계가 강우의 발생 특성이 평균과 표준편차로 대표되는 통계학적 기법에 근거하고 있기 때문이라고 파악하였다. 따라서 최저온도, 최고온도, 강수량, 상대습도, 풍속, 일사량과 같이 6개의 기상자료를 선정하여 비선형 관계를 고려할 수 있는 기법을 적용하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 SRES A1B 기후변화 시나리오에 의한 CNCM3 기후모형의 결과를 이용하였고 각 관측소 마다 다양하게 발생하는 강우 특성은 과거의 강우 특성과 유사할 것이라는 가정하에 공간적 축소기법으로 인공 신경망(ANN: Artificial Neural Network) 을 적용하고 시간적 축소기법으로 최근린(NN: Nearest Neighbor) 방법과 유전자 알고리즘(GA: Genetic Algorithm)을 적용하는 기법을 함께 제시하였다. 이러한 기법들을 실제 남한강 유역의 기상관측소 지점으로 적용하여 검증한 결과 모의된 대부분의 기상자료가 관측치를 비교적 잘 재현하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 비선형 축소기법은 추후 기후변화 연구에 중요한 방법론으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

2-Hydroxybenzaldehyde-5-Nitro-pyridylhydrazone (2HB-5NPH) was synthesized and its application in the spectrophotometric determination of vanadium ion(IV) was studied in the presence of surfactant. The optimum conditions of pH, solvent effect, concentration of ligand and surfactant were evaluated. The procedure was applied to determination of vanadium (IV) in mixture sample and real sample with satisfactory results (recovery ${\geq}$ 97% ; relative standard deviation ${\leq}$ 3.0% in the concentration range of $0{\sim}1.5{\mu}g/mL$ ; detection limit, $0.02{\mu}g/mL$ in solution).

An effective, environmentally friendly analytic methods using gas chromatography with mass spectrometric detector (GC-MSD) have been developed for the quantitative analysis of trace phthalate levels in cosmetics such as nail lacquer and hair spray. Since such cosmetics are largely comprised of organic solvents, conventional clean-up methods that have been widely used for phthalate analyses are in adequate. In addition, analysis of trace phthalate levels is notorious for its sensitivity to contamination, which causes high analytical values. A direct sample dilution method using an organic solvent was adopted to the sample preparation process to determine the exact amounts of phthalates and simultaneously avoid the high risk of secondary contamination. The method has many advantages including high accuracy, sensitivity, and simplicity in sample preparation. Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) were selected for analysis because they have been frequently detected in cosmetics and consistently reported as endocrine disruptors in humans and animals. Internal standard method using two deuterium substitutes (DBP-$d_4$, DEHP-$d_4$) as the internal standard was also used. The results of 'Method validation' showed the capabilities of this method for the routine analysis of phthalates at the ppm level. The recovery ranges were between 95 % and 106.1 %, and relative standards deviations (RSD) were less than 3.9 % in fortified nail lacquer and hair spray samples at the concentration of $25{\mu}g/g$.

In this study we conducted component analyses of portable XRF detectors using four Au-Cu alloy standard samples to improve their accuracy by drawing up a calibration curve based on ICP-OES standard values. The portable XRF analysis found absolute errors of 0.3 to 3.7 wt% for Au and 0.2 to 8.2 wt% for Cu, confirming that the error range and standard deviation differed from one detector to another. Furthermore, the calibration curve improved their accuracy, such that the relative error rates of Au and Cu decreased from 9.8% and 14% to 3.5% and 3.7%, respectively. Accordingly, an experiment to confirm the calibration curve was conducted using unknown samples, finding that the measured values of the unknown samples fell on the calibration curve. Therefore, to accurately analyze the components of metal cultural heritage items, it is necessary to prepare a calibration curve for each element after checking whether the detector is suitable for the artifact.
