A discrimination technique for domestic and imported Scutellaria baicalensis was developed using an energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (ED-XRF). Mineral content ratios, of a total of 43 species, including P, S, Cl, K, Ca, Mn, Fe, Cu, and Zn, were measured among 204 samples. Macro element content ratios and trace element content ratios were determined using the standardless fundamental parameters (SLFP) analysis. Inorganic element ratios of P, S, K, Ca, Cl, Mn, and Fe were significantly different between domestic and imported samples. The result from the canonical discriminant analysis showed that the accuracy of geographical origin discrimination was 95.15%; the correlation coefficient was 0.888. It was concluded that this technique could be used as a useful method in discriminating the geographical origins between domestic and imported Scutellaria baicalensis.

In recent researches on thread partitioning algorithms break a thread at the long latency operation and merge threads to get the longer threads under the given constraints. Due to this limitation, even a program with little parallelism is partitioned into small-sized threads and context-swithings occur frequently. In the paper, we propose another method array localization about the array name, dependence distance(the difference of accessed element index from loop index), and the element usage that indicates whether element is used or defined. Using this information we can allocate array elements to the node where the corresponding loop activation is executed. By array localization, remote accesses to array elements can be replaced with local accesses to localized array elements. As a resuit,the boundaries of some threads are removed, programs can be partitioned into the larger threads and the number of context switchings reduced.

A tracer test technique using a radioisotope was proposed to investigate pollutant mixing characteristics in rivers. The main advantages of radioisotope as a tracer in field tests are that it can be detected easily, and that its detection range is quite large. Also, using the radioisotope, the amount sorbed by the bed material and the biota may be a minimum. Field tracer tests were conducted at seven different sites in natural rivers with various meandering pattern. Based on the acquired data, the behavior of the tracer cloud in the intermediate-field was examined two-dimensionally, and dispersion coefficients were calculated using several evaluation methods. Results revealed that the tracer cloud was transported skewed to the outer bank and dispersion coefficients in bends were larger than those in straight reaches.

강원도 지역 탄산수에 대해 혼합에 의한 용존 희유원소의 거동특성 및 탄산염 침전물 형성에 따른 REE 분별작용을 살펴보았다. 탄산수들은 화학적으로 $Na-HCO_3형,\; Ca-Na-HCO_3형\; 및\; Ca-HCO_3$형으로 구분되며, 동위원소조성도 유형에 따라 명확히 구분되는 특징을 보인다. 지화학 및 동위원소 자료의 해석 결과, $Na-HCO_$형 탄산수는 지하심부에서 심부 기원 $CO_2$의 공급에 의해 형성된 반면, 다른 두 유형의 탄산수들은 $Na-HCO_$ 형 탄산수와 천부지하수 간의 혼합에 의해 생성되었음을 지시하였다. 탄산수 내 용존 REE 함량은 물 유형에 따라 변화하지만, ∑REE 함량은 TDS, pH, alkalinity, $\delta^{18}O$$\delta^{18}O$ 및 tritium 함량과 좋은 상관성을 보여주어, 천부 지하수와의 혼합된 특징을 나타내었다. Na-HCO$_3$형 탄산수의 용존 REE 패턴은 강한 HREE 부화를 보여주어 이른바 'S-shape'을 나타내는 반면, $Na-HCO_$ 형은 분산되어 있으며 LREE 부화를 보여주었다. $Ca-Na-HCO_3$형은 약한 HREE 분화 패턴을 보여주었다. 탄산수로부터 침전된 침전물과 침전물을 제거한 잔류물의 REE 패턴은 원 탄산수와 거의 유사한 형태를 보여주어, 탄산염 침전물과 잔류물 간의 REE 분별작용은 일어나지 않았음을 나타낸다.지 않았음을 나타낸다.

파장분산 분광분석기(Wavelength Dispersive Spectroscopy, WDS)는 다른 분석 방법에 비해 분해능이 좋고 측정 시간이 적게 걸리며, 또한 비용면에서 경제적이고 정량값이 실제값과 다르게 측정될 수 있다. 즉, 다성분계 박막에 있엇 X-선 발생 깊이가 작은 원소의 경우 X-선 발생 깊이가 큰 원소에 비해 조성값이 과장되어 측정된다. PZT박막의 경우에도 WDS로 측정한 조성은 박막의 두께에 따른 정확한 보정이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 WDS를 이용하여 PZT박막의 조성을 측정할 때, 얇은 박막의 경우에도 조성을 정확하게 알아낼 수 있도록 박막의 두께에 따른 조성의 보정법을 제시하였다. 또한, 박막의 두께를 직접 측정하는 과정없이 WDS분석 결과로 얻는 각 원소들의 [ZAF]k 의 합으로부터 박막의 두께를 이론적으로 구하였으며, 이를 실험값과 비교하였다.

In order to investigate the vertical variations and speciations of trace elements, and their correlations in Hoidong reservoir, sediment cores (21-41 cm below surface) and interstitial water samples were collected from five sampling locations. The total average concentrations of trace metals in sediment core samples were $232{\pm}30.8mg/kg$ for Zn, $119{\pm}272mg/kg$ for Cu, $58.4{\pm}4.1mg/kg$ for Pb, $15.7{\pm}3.3mg/kg$ for Ni and $1.6{\pm}0.3mg/kg$ for Cd. The total concentrations of trace metals in core sediments generally decreased toward the center of the Hoidong reservoir. The total concentrations of Mn, Pb and Zn decreased with depth for all the sample locations, while Cu and Fe concentrations increased. The trace metal concentrations of interstitial water sample were in the order of Fe>Mn>Cu>Zn, but Cd, Ni and Pb were not detected. The concentrations of Zn, Cu, Fe and Mn in the interstitial water samples showed a tendency of increasing toward the bottom of the core, suggesting a possible upward diffusion. This migration of trace metals may lead to their transfer to the sediment-water interface. These trace elements would be subsequently fixed onto amorphous Fe and Mn-oxides and carbonates in the topmost layer of sediment. Based on the $K_D$ values, the relative mobilities of the studied metals were in the order of Mn>Cu>Zn>Fe. Geochemical partitioning confirmed that surface enrichment by trace metals mainly resulted from a progressive increase of the concentrations in the fractions II and III. Copper, Fe, Mn and Zn concentrations of interstitial water were closely correlated with their exchangeable fractions of sediments.

In order to investigate the contamination levels and dispersion patterns of heavy metals such as Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn by urbanization, soils beneath roadside-trees and leaves of Ginkgo biloba were collected from Seoul area during October to November in 2001. All tree leaves were grouped into washed and unwashed ones. The pH of most soil ranges from 6 to 9 indicating a weak acidic and alkaline. The element couples of Cd-Co, Cr-Ni and Zn-Cu-Pb have good correlation in soils, and contamination sources of Cd-Co, Cr-Ni and Zn-Cu-Pb could be similar. High correlation coefficients among Pb, Cu and Zn in G. biloba indicates that these elements show the similar behavior during the metabolism processes. From the results of pollution index calculation for soils, industrialized and heavy traffic area were severly polluted by heavy metals such as Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn. By the discriminant analysis, industrialized and heavy traffic areas are enriched in the order of Ni> Cr> Pb. Cadmium is useful to discriminate between industrialized and heavy traffic areas, Co and Pb are highly enhanced in heavy traffic area.

Iron and nitrogen coordinated carbon catalyst (Fe-N-C) is the most promising non-precious metal catalyst (NPMC) studied to alternate the Pt-group oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalyst. In this work, Fe/N/C type catalysts are prepared by four different nitrogen precursors; N, N, N', N'-tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA), 1,2-ethylenediamine (EDA), m-dicyanobenzene (DCB), dicyandiamide (DCDA) which can chelate a transition metal; In addition, the catalysts conducted the pyrolysis process at four different temperatures of 700, 800, 900, 1000 ℃ to investigate the ORR activities depend on pyrolysis temperature and to find an appropriate temperature. The characterizations of catalysts were investigated by scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (SEM-EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and element analysis (EA). The electrocatalytic activity was measured by ORR polarization, also the electron transfer number was calculated from the slope of the K-L plot. The FeNC-EDA-800 which were prepared at pyrolysis temperature of 800 ℃ with EDA showed better ORR activity than the other catalysts.
