A direct, accurate and sensitive chromatographic analytical method for quantitative determination of four fluoroquinolones (norfloxacin, cirprofloxacin, danofloxacin and enrofloxacin) in chicken, pork and beef edible muscle is proposed in the present study. The developed method was successfully applied to the determination of enrofloxacin, as the main component of commercially available veterinary drugs. The samples were homogenized and the antimicrobials were added, then they were extracted twice with dichloromethane. Fluoroquinolone antibiotics were separated on an agilent $250x4mm,\;C_{18},\;5{\mu}m$, analytical column, at $25^{\circ}C$. The mobile phase consisted of a mixture of DW : acetonitrile : triethylamine(80:19:1%, v/v, pH 3.0) leading to retention times less than 14 min. at a flow rate 0.5 ml/min. These fluoroquinolones were detected by liquid chromatography with fluorescence at 290 nm excitation and 465 nm emission. The limits of quantification in each edible muscle (chicken, pork, and beef) were 0.32-6.54 ng/g. Using 0.5 g of each sample, average recovery rates at fortification levels of 0.05, 0.1 and 0.2 ${\mu}g/ml$ ranged 70.14-71.71% for NFX, 71.87-73.89% for CFX, 82.16-92.35% for DFX, and 90.13-98.12 for EFX This is a simple and economic method to quantify the presence of NFX, CFX, EFX and DFX in edible muscle of animal origin.

The structure of the complex extracted from an aqueous solution containing methylene blue and tetrafluoroborate with 1,2-dichloroethane has been investigated by comparing IR spectrum of the extract with those of pure components and appeared to be an 1 : 1 contact ion-pair between monovalent ions of opposite charge. The extraction constant obtained from the absorbance data measured at 658nm in 1,2-dichlorethane has a value of 1.1${\times}$at$10^4M{-1}$ 25$^{\circ}$C in the range from 1.43${\times}10^{-2}$ to 2.86${\times}10^{-1}$M HF. In the solvent extraction with nitrobenzene, the identical experiments show that extraction constants are increased with HF concentration possibly due to dissociation of the ion-pair in nitrobenzene.

The preparation method for composite membranes of high temperature operation above $100^{\circ}C$ for Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs ) was presented, using perfluorosulfonylfluoride Nafion resin and mordenite, in addition to the physical properties, proton conductivity and single cells performance for it. The composite membranes were fabricated via melting of Nafion resin with various mordenite content. As the increase of mordenite content, at high temperature range, proton conductivity of the composite membrane increased due to the late dehydration rate of existent water in the mordenite. Also, from the result of the current-voltage relationship for single cells under $130^{\circ}C$ operation condition, the composite membrane cell with l0 wt% mordenite content showed better performance than that of the others over the entire current density range. This result indicated that the existent water in the composite membrane with l0 wt% mordenite content was higher than that with the others, thereby maintains its conductivity. Based upon the results of experiments, therefore, a Nafion/mordenite composite membrane prepared by this work is thought to be a satisfactory polymer electrolyte membrane for PEMFC operation above $100^{\circ}C$.

How the characteristics and stability of the rubbing-induced alignment of nematic liquid crystals (LCs) relate to the interfacial characteristics of LC-polyimide has been studied. The characteristics of the LC alignment (such as the LC texture, the pretilt angle, and the anchoring energy) and their thermal stability have been investigated for 5 polyimides synthesized for this work. The work showed that the rubbed polyimide alignment layer induces the strong LC anchoring and that the characteristics and stability of LC alignment are determined by the short-ranged interactions between LC and polyimide molecules at the alignment layer surface. The increased flexibility of the polyimide accelerates thermal imidization, increases the pretilt angle, and improves the alignment stability. It also turned out that fluorination of the polyimide tends to deteriorate the alignment uniformity and stability. No distinct differences in the alignment characteristics were shown for the aromatic- and alicyclic-dianhydride polyimides.

As one of the methods for recycling the FRP from the waste ships, separation of roving layer from the mat has some merits in a sense of the eco-friendly and economical recycling process. Similar characteristics, however, between the roving and the mat even with different ratio of the resin and the glass and the thickness of the roving, much thinner than the mat, make the mechanically automatic differentiation difficult. In this study spectrochemical differentiation between the two layers has been made using boiling concentrated sulfuric acid, methanol and isopropanol solution saturated with KOH, or hydrogen fluoride (HF) solution. Furthermore efficiently coloring water-soluble dye following the HF treatment makes the roving layer more distinguishable photophysically. The layer differentiation and the automatic layer distraction move up the date of simple and automatic separation process for the waste FRP.

As one of the methods for recycling the FRP from the small and medium waste ships, separation of roving layer from the mat has some merits in a sense of the recycling energy and the environmental effects. Similar characteristics, however, between the roving and the mat even with different ratio of the resin and the glass and the thickness of the roving, much thinner than the mat, make the mechanically automatic differentiation difficult. In this study spectrochemical differentiation between the two layers has been made using (1) boiling concentrated sulfuric acid which can dissolve the resin in the FRP layer, (2) methanol and isopropanol solution saturated with KOH which can dissolve the glass, or (3) hydrogen fluoride(HF) solution which can reacts with $SiO_2$ fragments of the glass. Furthermore coloring water-soluble dye following the HF treatment makes the roving layer more distinguishable photo-physically.

A high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was established for the determination of fluoroquinolones in milk. Protein was removed by using trichloroacetic acid in order to increase a mean recovery of milk. The extracts were using $Strata^{TM}$-X solid-phase extraction cartridge. The analytes were detected by HPLC on a $C_{18}$ column. HPLC method with fluorescence detection system (Ex: 278 nm, Em: 456 nm) provided a high degree of sensitivity in detecting fluoroquinolones. The limits of quantitation (LOQ) and mean recoveries of fluoroquinolones were 40 ${\mu}g$/kg and 73.6-95.2% (ofloxacin), 10 ${\mu}g$/kg and 77.3-91.9% (norfloxacin), 20 ${\mu}g$/kg and 91.6-94.3% (ciprofloxacin), 10 ${\mu}g$/kg and 81.0-87.8% (enrofloxacin), 10 ${\mu}g$/kg and 71.3-81.0% (sarafloxacin), 10 ${\mu}g$/kg and 89.4-90.8% (orbifloxacin), 2 ${\mu}g$/kg and 69.4-85.5% (danofloxacin).

The fiber optic fluorosensor that shows a specific selectivity for calcium ion is studied. This sensor employs protein Calmodulin(CaM) which forms a fluorescent chelate with $Ca^{2+}$. A dialysis membrane is used to entrap a fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled CaM solution at the common end of a bifurcated fiber optic bundle. The sensing mechanism of this sensor is based on the shifts in the fluorescence spectrum of metal-calmodulin complexes which FCaM forms a chelate with $Ca^{2+}$. Upon binding with $Ca^{2+}$, CaM undergoes a conformational change which induces a change in the fluorescence of FCaM. This change in fluorescence signal which is measured by photomultiflier tube is related to the concentration of $Ca^{2+}$ for calibration curve. Detection limit for $Ca^{2+}$ and the interference effects by $Mg^{2+}$, $Eu^{3+}$ and $La^{3+}$ for this sensor are studied. Response time and life time for this fluorosensor are also investigated.

Mullite whiskers were synthesized using $Al(OH)_3$, amorphous $SiO_2$ and $AIF_3$ as starting materials by a vapor-solid reaction at relatively low temperature of $1100^{\circ}C$. Leaflet Fluorotopaz was observed for the specimen heat-treated at $800^{\circ}C$. Fluorotopaz was decomposed at $1000^{\circ}C$ and only mullite phase was observed for the specimen sintered at $1100^{\circ}C$ and above. It was found that the synthesized mullite at $1200^{\circ}C$ had grown to [001] direction and side planes were the {110}. The distance of (110} plane was $5.34^{\AA}C$. The amounts of $Al_2O_3$ in mullite was 73.56(1.39)wt%.
