A rapid and sensitive voltammetric method for the quantitative determination of Clenbuterol on electrochemically activated glassy carbon electrode has been developed. Using differential pulse voltammetry, the linear response range for the clenbuterol was between $1{\times}10^{-7}$ and $2{\times}10^{-5}M$, and the detection limit was $6{\times}10^{-9}M$ (S/N = 3). The relative standard derivation was 4.3% for $1{\times}10^{-6}M$ clenbuterol. Recoveries of 96% of the clenbuterol (n = 3) were obtained from urine spiked with different amounts in the ranges $5{\times}10^{-7}M$ and $1{\times}10^{-6}M$ by this method.

Zinc, cadmium, lead and copper were simultaneously determined by depositing metals at - 1.200 V vs. a Ag/AgCl(sat. KCl) reference electrode for 150 seconds on a hanging mercury drop electrode(HMDE) or a thin mercury film electrode(TMFE), followed by scanning towards anodic direction using differential pulse voltammetric(DPASV) and square wave voltammetric(SWASV) techniques. The linear calibration curves were obtained for four metal ions simultaneously determined by DPASV with a HMDE in the concentration range between 20 and 100 ppb. However, the linear calibration plots were obtained only for $Cd^{2+}$ and $Pb^{2+}$ in the simultaneous determinations with a TMFE in the concentration range up to 100 ppb using DPASV and up to 10 ppb using SWASV. DPASV with a TMFE was about 15 times more sensitive than DPASV with a HMDE for simultaneous determinations of $Cd^{2+}$ and $Pb^{2+}$. SWASV was about 5 times more sensitive than DPASV at a TMFE. Concentrations of zinc in seven different sediment samples determined by DPASV with a HMDE and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry were compared, resulting with an excellent correlation coefficient of 0.9993 and with no significant difference between two methods after t-test.

In the presence of optimum amounts of hydroxylamine, trace ruthenium(III) can be conveniently determined in acidic (boric) media by coupling catalytic hydrogen processes with adsorptive accumulation of the catalyst, using differential pulse voltammetry. Cyclic voltammetry was used to characterize the redox and interfacial processes. Optimal experimental conditions were found to be a stirred borate (0.015 M, pH 2.5) solution containing 0.55 M hydroxylamine, a preconcentration potential of - 0.70 V, and a scan rate of 5 mV/s. With a 7 min accumulation period the detection limit was 3${\times}$10-10 M. The possible interferences by other platinum group metals are investigated.

A stripping voltammetric scheme for the determination of osmium, based on the adsorptive accumulation of osmium in the presence of hydroxylamine, was described. Cyclic voltammetry was used to characterize the redox and interfacial processes. Optimal experimental conditions were found to be a stirred 0.05M hydroxylamine hydrochloride solution(pH 1.8), accumulation at -0.65V for 60s, and a differential pulse mode with a scan rate of 10mV/s. The detection limit was $6.3{\times}10^{-8}M$(12ppb) with the optimal condition.

This is an analytical study of germanium by adsorption stripping squarewave voltammetry. Tannic acid was used as a ligand. The accumulation potential was -0.2V, accumulation time was carried out for 60 second under constant stirring, followed by a 20 second quiescent period, and frequency was 10Hz. A hanging mercury drop electrode was used as a working electrode and acetate buffer solution, pH=4.5, as supporting electrolyte. The proper conditions of ligand for germanium analysis was established. The effect of metal ions(lead, cupper, silicon, tin, gallium) on germanium peak was also studied.

Voltammetric behavior of alkylammonium ion was studied in the absence and in the presence of crown ether in propylene carbonate as solvent. The peak potentials and the peak currents, their dependency on the concentrations, the reversibility of the electrode reactions are described. In the presence of crown ether chemical reaction might be preceeded before the electron-transfer process, the peak potential for the reduction shifts at the negative direction as the concentration of crown ether to the electrolyte solution increases. The addition of crown ether(20mM 18CR6)to the electrolyte solution made it possible to determine voltammetrically the dialkylammonium ions($Me_2NH^{+}_{2};O.6{\sim}0.8mM$) in the presence of the monoalkylammonium ions ($EtNH^{+}_{3} ;1.6mM$) and the monoalkylammonium ions ($EtNH^{+}_{3} ; 0.5{\sim}2.5mM$) in the presence of the dialkylammonium ions($Me_2NH^{+}_{2};0.5mM$)

When we inject a current into an electrically conducting subject such as a human body, voltage and current density distributions are formed inside the subject. The current density within the subject and injection current in the lead wires generate a magnetic field. This magnetic flux density within the subject distorts phase of spin-echo magnetic resonance images. In Magnetic Resonance Current Density Imaging (MRCDI) technique, we obtain internal magnetic flux density images and produce current density images from $\bigtriangledown{\times}B/\mu_\theta$. This internal information is used in Magnetic Resonance Electrical Impedance Tomography (MREIT) where we try to reconstruct a cross-sectional resistivity image of a subject. This paper describes numerical techniques of computing voltage. current density, and magnetic flux density within a subject due to an injection current. We use the Finite Element Method (FEM) and Biot-Savart law to calculate these variables from three-dimensional models with different internal resistivity distributions. The numerical analysis techniques described in this paper are used in the design of MRCDI experiments and also image reconstruction a1gorithms for MREIT.

It has been known that the leakage current in the low field region consists of the dielectric relaxation current and intrinsic leakage current, which cause the charge loss in dynamic random access memory (DRAM) storage capacitor using (Ba,Sr)TiO$_{3}$ (BST) thin film. Especially, the dielectric relaxation current should be seriously considered since its magnitude is much larger than that of the intrinsic leakage current in giga-bit DRAM operation voltage (~IY). In this study, thermally stimulated current (TSC) measurement was at first applied to investigate the activation energy of traps and relative evaluation of the density of traps according to process change. And, through comparing TSC to early methods of I-V or I-t measurement and analyzing, we identify the origin of the dielectric relaxation current and investigate the reliability of TSC measurement. First, the polarization condition such as electric field, time, temperature and heating rate was investigated for reliable TSC measurement. From the TSC measurement, the energy level of traps in the BST thin film has been investigated and evaluated to be 0.20($\pm$0.01) eV and 0.45($\pm$0.02) eV. Based on the TSC measurement results before and after rapid thermal annealing (RTA) process, oxygen vacancy is concluded to be the origin of the traps. TSC characteristics with thermal annealing in the MIM BST capacitor have shown the same trends with the current-voltage (I-V) and current-time (I-t) characteristics. This means that the TSC measurement is one of the effective methods to characterize the traps in the BST thin film.

Estrone such as estriol and estradiol can not be determined by votammetric methods, because these are electrochemically inactive in the potential windows for mercury drop electrode. Nitro-derivatives of estrone are electro active and nitration of estrone is accomplished by heating the solution involving estrone and sodium nitrite in a water-bath at $100^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. Such nitro-derivatives are determined directly by voltammetry. The electrochemical behavior for nitrated estrone was investigated by cyclic voltammetry. The trace estrone was determinated by differential pulse adsorptive cathodic stripping voltammetry. Nitrated estrone gives a well defined voltammetric wave at ca. - 0.61 V (vs. Ag/AgCl electrode). The electrochemical reaction was irreversible process in sodium borate buffer at pH 11 and nitrated estrone was strongly adsorbed on the surface of mercury electrode. The optimal experimental conditions for the determination of nitrated esterone were found to be 0.05 M sodium nitrate, 0.01 M sodium borate, pH 11.0, and an accumlation potential of 0.10 V (vs. Ag/AgCl). The detection limit was as low as $1{\times}10^{-9}M$ for estrone with 2 min accumulation time.
