Determination of cadmium(II) ion with a perfluorinated sulfonated polymer-ethylenediamine(nafion-en) modified glassy carbon electrode was studied. It was based on the chemical reactivity of an immobilized layer(nafion-en) to yield complex $[Cd(en)_2]^{2+}$. The reduction peak potential by differential pulse voltammetry(DPV) was observed at $-0.780({\pm}0.005)V$ vs. As/AgCl. The linear calibration curve was obtained in cadmium(II) ion concentration range $5.0{\times}10^{-7}-2.0{\times}10^{-5}M$, and the detection limit(3s) was $2.20{\times}10^{-7}M$. The detection limit of nafion-en modified glassy carbon electrode has been shown about 14 higher sensitivity than a bare glassy carbon electrode.

This paper discusses the feasibility of ultrasonic C-scan technique for nondestructive evaluation of spot weld quality. Ultrasonic evaluation for spot weld quality was performed by immersion method with the mechanical and the electronic scanning of point-focussed ultrasonic beam(25 MHz). For the sake of the approach to the quantitative measurement of nugget diameter and the discrimination of the corona bond from nugget, preliminary infinitesimal gap experiment by newton ring is tried in order to set up the optimum ultrasonic test condition. Ultrasonic image data obtained were confirmed and compared by optical microscope and SAM(Scanning Acoustic Microscope) observation of the spot-weld cross section. The results show that the nugget diameter can be measured with the accuracy of 1.0mm, and voids included in nugget can be detected to $10{\mu}m$ extent with simplicity and accuracy. Finally, it was found that it is necessary to make a profound study of definite discrimination of corona bond from nugget and the approach of quantitative evaluation of nugget diameter by utilizing the various image processing techniques.

The trace-level mercury in bio-materials has been determinated by the anodic stripping square wave voltammetry (ASSWV)-technique at glassy carbon electrode. Prior to the analysis, the bio-materials were digested with $HNO_3/H_2SO_4$ mixture and KMnO4 was added to complete an oxidation process of the mixture. The detection limit of the mercury varied greatly with deposition time, deposition potential, pH and stirring rate. When the deposition was carried out for 240 sec on 400 rpm stirring at -1.0 volts vs. Ag/AgCl, the detection limit was below 0.5 ppb ($2.5{\times}10^{-9}M$). The accumulated mercury was high in the kidney and liver, and low in the brain according to the determination of mercury accumulation for a white rat by this method.

In this paper, we designed add current scan system basically. Although NDT system using AC method in now days had problem with limit of detection rate and limit of device organization, in this paper, we made up these problem so that designed device smaller than system used, reduction of cost of system organization and precision of measuring crack. Also, AC leakage flux system had high accuracy about minute crack in the surface and advantage of designing system easily so that we designed system for concerning about crack of surface. Furthermore, it can be able to detect exact crack of reference in wide area by using DSP320C31 chip to reduce the time of measuring crack.

팔머가뭄지수(Palmer Drought Severity Index, PDSI)는 가뭄을 정량적으로 표현하기 위해 제안된 최초의 포괄적인 가뭄지수라 할 수 있다. 가뭄을 단순히 하나의 기상인자로만 판단하려 한 것이 아니라 수문순환 과정 속에서 여러 가지 요소들의 복합적인 작용에 의한 결과로 인식하고 이를 가뭄지수 산정 과정에 고려하고자 하였다. 따라서 PDSI는 가뭄뿐만 아니라 습윤상황을 모니터링 하기 위한 용도로 이용될 수 있으며, 수분수지 분석을 통해 얻을 수 있는 함양량, 유출량, 토양수분량의 정보는 그 자체로서도 분석 대상 지역의 수분상황과 관련된 중요한 정보라 할 수 있다. 이러한 점에서 PDSI는 방법론상의 여러 가지 한계에도 불구하고 지금까지 가뭄의 모니터링 및 관리를 위해 우리나라를 비롯한 여러 국가 및 지역에서 널리 이용되고 있으며, 가뭄 정량화를 위한 새로운 가뭄지수 개발 시 적합성의 비교 기준으로 고려되고 있다. 그러나 지금까지 우리나라에서는 PDSI에서 고려하고 있는 기상 및 수문학적 조건이 우리나라의 상황을 적절히 표현할 수 있는가에 대한 검토가 미흡한 상황이라 할 수 있다. 우리나라의 자료를 이용하여 PDSI를 산정하였다 할지라도 지수 산정 과정에서 고려하고 있는 기상 및 수문특성이 적절하지 않을 경우 산정된 PDSI가 나타내는 가뭄상황과 실제 우리나라의 가뭄상황은 다를 수 있다. 특히 PDSI 산정 과정에서 잠재증발산량 산정 방법으로 이용하고 있는 월열지수법은 방법의 한계로 인해 우리나라와 같이 동절기 평균기온이 0도 이하로 떨어지는 경우에는 증발산량이 발생하지 않는 것으로 고려하고 있다. 이는 우리나라의 실제 증발산 발생 양상과 비교할 경우 크게 차이가 나는 점이라 할 수 있으며, 강수량과 증발산량의 관계에 대한 검토로부터 지수 산정 과정이 시작되는 PDSI에 있어 이러한 오차는 결과의 신뢰성 확보에 많은 어려움을 초래할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기존 PDSI에서 이용하고 있는 월열지수법을 대체할 수 있는 방법에 대해 검토하였으며, 잠재증발산량 산정 방법의 변경에 따라 산정된 PDSI의 변동 양상에 대해 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 통해 가뭄 모니터링 및 관리를 위한 지표로 널리 이용되고 있는 PDSI의 활용에 있어 유용한 정보 제공이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Fire resistance and thermal stability of polypropylene composite systems were investigated by using several halogenated fire-retardants such as decabromodiphenyl oxide (DBDPO) and chlorinated paraffin wax (CPW). The fire resistance of composite systems was thoroughly examined by measuring limited oxygen index (LOI, ASTM D2863, ISO 4589) and characteristic properties of cone calorimetry(ASTM E1354, ISO 5660) heat release rates (HRR), time to ignition (TTI), total heat release (THR), effective heat of combustion (EHC), mass loss rates, etc. Comparing the cone calorimetry experimental results of the halogen flame retardants, DBDPO exhibited twice higher efficiency than CPW in polypropylene systems, and the LOI also showed similar trends to cone calorimetry. The thermo-oxidative stability of the composite systems was increased about 30-5$0^{\circ}C$ in thermogravimetry analysis.Collectively, the combustion, extinction and thermally-stable characteristics of flame retardants were identified in this study.

A multi-residual method using gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC/MS/ MS) was developed for the analysis of 105 pesticides. This method was tested on lemons, beans and other vegetables. The pretreatment of these pesticides was performed by liquid-liquid partition followed by cleanup with solid phase extraction cartridge (SPE Florisil), after acetonitrile extraction from matrices and sodium chloride (15 g) addition. The recovery ranged from 71.1% to 126.0% except for azinphosmethyl, famoxadone, fenamidone, flufenoxuron and triadimefon in lemons and from 72.5% to 124.5% in bean. In lemon, the limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were 0.001~150 ng/ mL and 0.004~500 ng/mL, respectively.

Concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyl congeners (PCBs) in samples collected from 43 kindss of water, 35 kinds of soil and 11 kinds of sediment in various place of Korea have been monitored using GC/MS/SIM analytical method. In our investigation, mean recoveries were $83.8{\pm}10.4%$ for water, $94.9{\pm}12.2%$ for soil and sediment samples and $80.2{\pm}8.7%$ for the spiked $^{13}C{_{12}}$-PCBs. Detection limits of PCBs for water, soil and sediment samples are 0.01 ng/ml and 0.05 ng/g. PCB congeners in water samples were not detected within quantitation limit, but trace amounts were detected in most of soil and sediment samples. The contamination level of PCBs in Korea was evaluated to be lower than in advanced countries like USA, Europe and Japan.

The simultaneous determination of Zn, Cd, Pb and Cu in 1.000%(w/v) tungsten matrix by differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry at a hanging mercury drop electrode has been studied. Tartaric acid(pH=5.00) was used as a supporting electrolyte. Optimum analytical conditions were found that the deposition potential was -1.2 volt(vs. Ag/AgCl), the deposition time was 3 minutes. The linear concentration range of all trace metal ions in 1.000%(w/v) tungsten matrix were 10 to 50 ppb. And the detection limit(3${\sigma}$) of zinc, cadmium, lead and copper were 1.25, 1.02, 1.69, and 1.02 ppb respectively. This method was superior to the ICP-AES method which detection limits(3${\sigma}$) in 1.000%(w/v) tungsten matrix were 8.0, 5.0, 120 and 5 ppb respectively.

Halonitromethanes (HNMs) are one of the most toxic groups of disinfection by-products. Recently, various studies have been fulfilled. An automated headspace-solid phase microextraction (SPME) gas chromatography/electron capture detector (GC-ECD) technique was developed for routine analysis of 9 HNMs in water samples. The optimization of the method is discussed. The limits of detection (LOD) and limits of quantification (LOQ) range from 90 ng/L to 260 ng/L and from 270 ng/L to 840 ng/L for 9 HNMs, respectively. Matrix effects in tap water and sea water were investigated and it was shown that the method is suitable for the analysis of trace levels of HNMs, in a wide range of waters. The method developed in the present study has the advantage of being rapid, simple and sensitive.
