Tandem HPLC and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization(APcI) LC/MS method was used for the determination and confirmation of carbendazim residues in soybean sprout. Fluorescence(FL) detector was connected in tandem with the ultraviolet(UV) detector for dual detection of the carbendazim residue at the excitation and emission wavelength of 280 nm and 310 nm, respectively. The limit of detection for carbendazim was $0.1{\mu}g/kg$ sample. Recoveries of carbendazim from fortified soybean sprout at 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 ppm were averaged 89.1%. Mass spectrometry using a APcI source confirmed the carbendazim residue in the soybean sprout sample. Fragmentation pattern on the APcI LC/MS spectrum of carbendazim was simpler than that from electron impact(EI) mass spectrum. Carbendazim produced 3 major ions including m/z 133, m/z 159 and m/z 191($M^{+}$). This method was sensitive enough to provide reliable and reproducible results for practical applications.

Bromide($Br^-$) was separated and quantified with $2.8mM-NaHCO_3/2.2mM-Na_2CO_3$ by Ion Chromatography. Bromide was eluted at 8.9 min. and the detectetion limit was 2.5 ng. We compared with bromide concentration in normal or methylbromide intoxicated bloods and tissues. Bromide concentrations were 2.0~5.8 ppm in normal bloods and 1.0~5.3 ppm in normal tissues. In fatal cases of methylbromide intoxication, blood bromide concentrations (4 cases) of 74.2~139 ppm and tissue bromide concentration (1 case) of 76 (heart)~201 (lung) ppm were detected. In fatal cases, blood bromide concentrations. were 12~22 times higher than those of normal bloods.

Analytical detection limits and Relative Ion Yield (RIY) by a jet type ion source glow discharge mass spectrometer(GD/MS) have been measured. With a jet type ion source, the sample loss rate for a Cu sample is 0.23 mg/min with 0.1 L/min gas flow rate and 0.11 mg/min with no gas flow rate. However, the ion intensity of Cu does not change significantly with thee variation of the gas flow rate. The RIY values obtained from the calibration curves of the six copper based standards were between 0.57 of Fe and 3.5 of Cr. The detection limits of most elements were in the range of 0.9 and 2.0 ppm when the glow discharge was operated at 4 mA, 1000V.

가스크로마토그래피 불꽃이온화검출기(FID)에서, 천연가스 표준물질만을 사용하여 분석할 때 발생할 수 있는 분석 불확도에 대하여 연구하였다. 일반적으로 $10^5$ 범위 농도까지 직선성이 확보된 것으로 알려진 FID 검출기에 대하여 실제 분석에서 동일한 직선성이 확보되는지를 확인하였다. 본 연구에서 7성분으로 조성된 천연가스용 표준가스를 샘프링 loop의 크기를 1.0mL, 0.50mL, 0.25mL로 변환시키면서 GC/FID를 사용하여 분석한 상대표준불확도 결과는 다음과 같다. 메탄은, 0.458 %, 에탄은 0.20247%, 프로판은 0.1497%, i-부탄은 0.1854 %, n-부탄은 0.2977%, i-펜탄은 0.263%, n-펜탄은 0.383%이었다. 각 경우에서 직선성 상대표준불확도값이 $0.15%{\sim}0.45 %$까지 이른다. 일반적으로 농도가 높은 메탄의 경우에 직선성 불확도값이 큰 값을 보여 주었고 농도범위가 1-5%인 $C2{\sim}C5$의 경우는 작은 직선성 표준불확도를 나타내었다.

플라즈마를 포함한 반응성 가스 공정 분석용 사중극자 질량분석기의 필라멘트의 파손양상을 조사하였다. 또한 유전체 증착층이 이온원 성능에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위하여 이온원의 일반적인 가동 전압 조건에서 Poisson방정식을 이용하여 전위를 수치 해석으로 구하였다. 사용중 파손된 필라멘트의 파단면을 주사전자현미경으로 관찰결과, 수직으로 절단되는 양상과 직경이 점차 작아지면서 erosion되는 두가지 양상을 보였다. 또한 파단면은 표면균열과 패시팅(faceting) 현상을 보였다. 필라멘트 사용시 가장 큰 문제는 패시팅(faceting)이다. 대부분의 결정에서는 다른 결정면보다 에너지 준위가 낮은 결정면이 존재한다. W 원자는 고온에서 확산 또는 증발하여 표면에서 다시 응축할 때 표면 에너지를 최소화하기 위한 독특한 평형 형상이 만들어 지는데 이것이 패시팅의 구동력이다. 이때 국부적으로 단면적이 감소하는 곳이 생기는데, 이 지점이 집중적으로 가열되고 증발이 가속화하여 파손된다. 파단면을 EDS 분석결과, 산화물을 포함한 F, Fe 및 C이 검출되었다. 이 F과 C는 공정중 사용된 CF4의 분해에 의한 것으로 생각되며, 파손된 필라멘트를 Ar 유도결합 플라즈마로 처리한 결과 이 F, Fe 및 C의 양이 감소하였다.

Glutathione(GSH) in biological samples was determined by high performance liquid chromatographic(HPLC) method with fluorescence detector(FLD) after monobromobimane(MBB) or 4-fluoro-7-sulfobenzofurazan(SBD-F) derivatization. The detection limit of $0.03{\mu}g/mL$ was obtained after MBB derivatization, derivative of MBB was about 200 times more sensitive than that of SBD-F. N-acetylcysteine was used as internal standard and tetrabutylammonium ion as counter ion for better separation. The determination by ion-pairing chromatography after MBB derivatization was characterized by linearity in the range between $0.08{\sim}8.33{\mu}g/mL$ with a good correlation coefficient of 0.998. By precision test appeared relative standard deviation at less than 5% at three different concentrations. This method can be used for the analysis of GSH in plasma and tissue.

Ion chromatography (IC) coupled with conductivity detector (CD) is a common system for the determination of perchlorate in water samples. Although the IC method with CD has been widely used for the determination of trace level perchlorate ion in water, sensitivity decreases dramatically as the complexity of the matrices increases. Here we proposed the application of ion chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (IC-MS/MS) to significantly improve selectivity of perchlorate. The mean recovery of the method was 104.4 ${\pm}$ 5.7% and the relative standard deviation (RSD%) was 1.9 ${\pm}$ 1.3%. The alculated method detection limit (MDL) was 0.0207 ${\pm}$ 0.0099 ${\mu}g/L$. The concentrations of perchlorate were minimum <0.1 ${\mu}g/L$ and maximum 18.3 ${\mu}g/L$ in source water (Namhan, Bukhan and Han River). Hongreung showed higher concentrations ($1^{st}$-14.3 ${\mu}g/L$, $2^{st}$-18.3 ${\mu}g/L$) than the other places. And the concentrations of perchlorate were 0.18~0.34 ${\mu}g/L$ in the samples taken from the six water treatment plants and six intake stations in Seoul.

In this study, we evaluated an edge detector for small-beam dosimetry. We measured the dose linearity, dose rate dependence, output factor, beam profiles, and percentage depth dose using an edge detector (Model 1118 Edge) for 6-MV photon beams at different field sizes and depths. The obtained values were compared with those obtained using a standard volume ionization chamber (CC13) and photon diode detector (PFD). The dose linearity results for the three detectors showed good agreement within 1%. The edge detector had the best linearity of ${\pm}0.08%$. The edge detector and PFD showed little dose rate dependency throughout the range of 100~600 MU/min, while CC13 showed a significant discrepancy of approximately -5% at 100 MU/min. The output factors of the three detectors showed good agreement within 1% for the tested field sizes. However, the output factor of CC13 compared to the other two detectors had a maximum difference of 21% for small field sizes (${\sim}4{\times}4\;cm^2$). When analyzing the 20~80% penumbra, the penumbra measured using CC13 was approximately two times wider than that using the edge detector for all field sizes. The width measured using PFD was approximately 30% wider for all field sizes. Compared to the edge detector, the 10~90% penumbras measured using the CC13 and PFD were approximately 55% and 19% wider, respectively. The full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the edge detector was close to the real field size, while the other two detectors measured values that were 8~10% greater for all field sizes. Percentage depth doses measured by the three detectors corresponded to each other for small beams. Based on the results, we consider the edge detector as an appropriate small-beam detector, while CC13 and PFD can lead to some errors when used for small beam fields under $4{\times}4\;cm^2$.

The increased brightness and focused X-ray beams now available from laboratory X-ray sources facilitates a variety of powder diffraction experiments not practical using conventional in-house sources. Furthermore, the increased availability of 2-dimensional area detectors, along with implementation of improved software and customized sample environmental cells, makes possible new classes of in-situ and time-resolved diffraction experiments. These include phase transitions under variable pressure- and temperature conditions and ion-exchange reactions. Examples of in-situ and time-resolved studies which are presented here include: (1) time-resolved data to evaluate the kinetics and mechanism of ion exchange in mineral natrolite; (2) in-situ dehydration and thermal expansion behaviors of ion-exchanged natrolite; and (3) observations of the phases forming under controlled hydrostatic pressure conditions in ion-exchanged natrolite. Both the quantity and quality of the in-situ diffraction data are such to allow evaluation of the reaction pathway and Rietveld analysis on selected dataset. These laboratory-based in-situ studies will increase the predictability of the follow-up experiments at more specialized beamlines at the synchrotron.

We describe modified Fowler-Nordheim (FN) field emission equation for the free-standing nanomembrane cathode, which has mechanical degrees of freedom. The derived FN equation agrees well with the experimental data. The free-standing nanomambrane cathode demonstrates its unique ability to detect large biomolecure ions.
