This study focuses on the removal of water-suspended toluene of a representative sick house compounds in a liquid photo-system using nanometer-sized Sn-incorporated $TiO_2$ which was synthesized by a solvothermal method. The characteristics of the synthesized Sn-$TiO_2$ were analyzed by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and UV-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis). To estimate the photocatalytic activity of Sn-$TiO_2$, the photodegradation of water-suspended toluene was performed, and the remaining concentration was determined using UV-visible spectroscopy. The water-suspended toluene photodegradation over Sn-incorporated $TiO_2$ catalyst was better than that over pure $TiO_2$ (anatase). The water-suspended toluene of 500 ppm was perfectly decomposed within 300 minutes over 0.01 mol% Sn-$TiO_2$.

The dissolved organic carbon extracted from groundwater is separated into humic acid and fulvic acid. They are characterized for their chemical composition, spectroscopic characteristics using UV/VIS, IR and solid state $^{13}C-NMR$ spectroscopy, proton exchange capacity and molecular size distribution. The results are comparable with the literature data. The study explains that the aquatic humic and fulvic acid in this experiment are site-specipic and polydisperse natural organic matter with considerable proton exchange capacity.

Oxygen chemisorption on single crystal ZrC(111) surface was studied by high-resolution electron energy loss and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy. At a low amount of oxygen exposure, adsorbed oxygen atoms construct $(\sqrt{3}{\times}\sqrt{3})R30^{\circ}$ structure. On the other hand, oxygen adsorption changes into $1{\times}1$ structure as the amount of oxygen exposure increases. The adsorbed oxygen atoms show smaller vertical distance from the Zr topmost layer in the $1{\times}1$ structure than in the $(\sqrt{3}{\times}\sqrt{3})R30^{\circ}$ structure and approach to the bridge site rather than 3-fold hollow site. The two different oxygen adsorption behavior comes from the two different surface stales of the clean ZrC(111) surface.

Purpose: This study is to prepare tintable hard coatings for plastic lenses and to evaluate spectroscopic and surface characteristic for these coatings. Methods: These coatings had been prepared by the sol-gel method using TEOS, MTMS and GPTS. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy, infrared (IR) spectroscopy and UV/VIS spectroscopy have been used to investigate the optical and structural characteristics of the coatings. Results: Tint ability of this coating was about 2 times higher than general hard coatings. The lenses applied by tintable hard coatings showed excellent adhesion, abrasion resistance, hot water resistance, and chemical resistance. Pencil hardness was 5H and the surface of coatings was smooth and free of cracks. Conclusions: This hard coating system for plastic lenses offered a hard and stable surface that could be tinted.

We developed a method to measure the concentration of highly concentrated colored samples using color coordinates. We present a color analysis to estimate the concentration of highly concentrated binary solutions with an empirical function and apply it to estimate the kinetics of a catalytic irreversible reaction of resazurin to resorufin. The developed method enabled one to measure the concentration of solutions whose range of concentrations is nonlinear and beyond the limit of UV-vis spectroscopic measurement directly without dilution.

In the initial stages of oxidation of Si(111)-7${\times}$7 held at 40K through exposing molecular oxygen, it has been detected average work-function measured by ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) is about 0.4eV higher than the local work-function of the modified area measured by photoemission for adsorbed Xenon (PAX). This result indicates that the increment of work-function at the initial oxidation stages of Si(111)-7${\times}$7 is mainly due to the moleculary adsorbed oxygen. From the shift of broadened Xe 5p and Xe 3d, it has also been estimated that the work-function of the modified area is 0.6eV higher than that of the clean area.

UV spectrometric assay for measurement of epoxide hydrolase activity was tested for efficient screening of whole cell activity of epoxide hydrolase. Epoxide hydrolase activities were determined by measuring the amount of p-nitrostyrene diol (pNSD), which was the hydrolysis product of p-nitrostyrene oxide (pNSO). Enantioselective hydrolysis of racemic pNSO using epoxide hydrolase activity of Rhodosporidium toruloides was monitored by UV spectrometric assay, and the relevant $K_m$ and $V_m$ for R. toruloides were determined as $2.457nmol/min{\cdot}mg$ and 1.078 mM, respectively.

Vinylbenzyloxystyrylpyridine (VSP) as a photosensitive monomer was synthesized by the reaction of 4-hydroxystyrylpyrydine with 4-vinylbenzyl chloride. Photocrosslinkable polymers containing rosin moiety were then prepared by radically copolymerizing VSP with a methacrylic monomer having rosin moiety. In these copolymerizations, the VSP feed ratios of 5 to 20 mol% were used. The contents of VSP units in the copolymers were determined by UV spectroscopy to be 5.3 to 17.3 mol%. The numberaverage molecular weights of these polymers were in the range of 18000 to 28000 and the polydispersity indexes were about 1.8. The glass transition temperatures were about 15$0^{\circ}C$ and the initial decomposition temperatures were about 34$0^{\circ}C$. The polymers were relatively fast photocrosslinked and the photocrosslinking reaction could be traced by the UV spectroscopy and the residual yield method.
