Optical observation system provides angle-only measurement for orbit determination of space object. Range measurement can be directly acquired using laser ranging or tone ranging system. Initial orbit determination (IOD) by using angle- only data set shows discrepancy according to the measurement time interval. To solve this problem, range measurement data should be added for IOD. In this study, two-site optical observation was used to derive the range information. We have observed nine geostationary earth orbit satellites by using two-site optical observation system. The determination result of the range shows the accuracy over 99.5% compared to the results from the satellite tool kit simulation. And we confirmed that the orbit determination by the Herrick-Gibbs method with the range information obtained from the two-site observation is more accurate than the orbit determination by Gauss method with the one-site observation. For more accurate two-site optical observation, a baseline should satisfy an optimal condition of length and more precise observation system needed.

Deposition potential, deposition time, square wave frequency, rotation speed of the rotating disc electrode, and palladium concentration were studied on a Glassy Carbon Electrode (GCE) in 0.01M HCl for the determination of palladium in High Level Nuclear Waste (HLNW) by anodic stripping voltammetry. Experimental conditions were optimized for the determination of palladium at two different, $10^{-8}$ and $10^{-7}M$, levels. Error and standard deviation of this method were under 1% for all palladium standard solutions. The developed technique was successfully applied as a subsidiary method for the determination of palladium in simulated high level nuclear waste with very good precision and high accuracy (under 1 % error and standard deviation).

A quantitative fluorometric method was developed to determine aspirin and salicylic acid in bulk aspirin and commercial aspirin tablets. The excitation maximum for aspirin was observed at 280 nm and the emission maximum was at 335nm. The lowest energy excitation band for salicylic acid was at 308nm and the fluorescence emission band was at 450nm. Excipients, binders, lubricants and impurities did not interfere. Excellent recoveries were obtained for aspirin and salicylic acid. Results obtained by the KP III procedure and the proposed method were compared.

The slab analogy method was introduced in the 1920's for the first time as a new experimental stress analysis method. Notwithstanding its theoretical propriety, this method has not been recognized as efficient one because of its difficulty in practical measurement of the slab curvature. In this paper, aiming at experimental determination of two-dimensional stress intensity factors(S. I. F) of arbitrarily shaped cracks which had been regarded as almost impossible by conventional method, the slab analogy was reevaluated. Measuring of slab curvature was replaced by three simple measuring factors to overcome vital slab-analogy's shortcoming by joint use of the shadow-moire method. A determination formula was also derived from the theory of fracture mechanics. By this newly exploited method, it was found that the slab analogy still has its great advantage in determination of S.I.F. of arbitrarily shaped cracks with considerable accuracy compared with existent experimental methods.

A simple and efficient cloud point extraction-spectrofluorimetric method for the determination of thiamine in human urine is proposed. The procedure is based on the oxidation of thiamine with ferricyanide to form thiochrome, its extraction to Triton X-114 micelles and spectrofluorimetric determination. The variables affecting oxidation of thiamine, extraction and phase separation were studied and optimized. Under the experimental conditions used, the calibration graphs were linear over the range 2.5-1000 ng $mL^{-1}$. The limit of detection was 0.78 ng $mL^{-1}$ of thiamine and the relative standard deviation for 5 replicate determinations of thiamine at 400 ng $mL^{-1}$ concentration level was 2.42%. Average recoveries between 93-107% were obtained for spiked samples. The proposed method was applied to the determination of thiamine in human urine.

The simultaneous determination of harman, harmaline and norharman has been described using synchronous fluorescence technique. The method has been based on their natural fluorescence. It is difficult to analyze and determine their contents by conventional fluorescence method because of their similar molecular structures. The synchronous spectrum, maintaining a constant wavelength difference of ${\Delta}{\lambda}=185nm$ between the excitation and emission monochromators, was selected as optimum to perform the determination. The method was also performed in aqueous medium at pH 4.0 and in presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), $1{\times}10^{-5}M$. Under the optimum conditions, each analyte has the linear determination range of $1{\times}10^{-7}M-\;1{\times}10^{-4}M$.

The Coptis Rhizome is known for containing a number of isoquinoline type alkaloids. Berberine, coptisine and palmatine are the major constituents of alkaloids. The alkaloids were isolated and determined by forming complex from Coptis japonica (Ranunculaceae). For the determination of these alkaloids, a new spectrophotometric method was developed with a simple and selective sample clean-up using thiocyanatocobaltate[II] complex ion. The absorbance of alkaloidal complex in l,2-dichloroethane solution was measured at 625 nm. A calibration curve for the alkaloids isolated from Coptis Rhizome was linear over the concentration range of 0.2-0.3 mg/mι. The method proved to be rapid, simple and reliable for the isolation and the determination of the alkaloids in Coptis Rhizome.

In the shape design of flexible structures, it is useful to predict the initial shape from the desirable large deformed shapes under some loading conditions. In this paper, we present a numerical procedure of an initial shape determination problem for hyperelastic materials which enables us to calculate an initial shape corresponding to the prescribed deformed shape and boundary condition. The present procedure is based on an Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) finite element method for hyperelasticity, in which arbitrary change of shapes in both the initial and deformed states can be treated by considering the variation of geometric mappings in the equilibrium equation. Then the determination problem of the initial shape can be formulated as a nonlinear problem to solve the unknown initial shape for the specified deformed shape that satisfies the equilibrium equation. The present approach can be implemented easily to the finite element method by employing the isoparametric hypothesis. Some basic numerical results are also given to characterize the present procedure.

The spectrophotometric determination method of scandium with eriochrome cyanine R (ECR) and the composition ratio of the complex were investigated in the presence of surfactants. A volume of 5 mL of 1.0×$10^{-3}$ M ECR and 10 mL of 2.0×$10^{-4}$ M CTMAB are necessary for the determination of 1.0×$10 ^{-7}$ ~ 3.0×$10^{-6}$ M Sc(III) at pH 6.5. The apparent molar absorption coefficient of the Sc(III)-ECR-CTMAB, ternary complex at 610 nm is 5.6×$10^5$ $mol^{-1}cm{-1}$L and its detection limit is 1.0×$10^{-7}$ M. Separation studies were conducted by the column method. The effect of pH, elution solution and the influence of rare earth elements as interferents was discussed. Their separation was carried out in 0.1 M HCl-50% methanol solution and 1.0 M HCl media. The method was applied for the determination of Sc(III) in monazite.

The Optical Wide-field patroL-Network (OWL-Net) is a Korean optical space surveillance system used to track and monitor objects in space. In this study, the characteristics of four Initial Orbit Determination (IOD) methods were analyzed using artificial observational data from Low Earth Orbit satellites, and an appropriate IOD method was selected for use as the initial value of Precise Orbit Determination using OWL-Net data. Various simulations were performed according to the properties of observational data, such as noise level and observational time interval, to confirm the characteristics of the IOD methods. The IOD results produced via the OWL-Net observational data were then compared with Two Line Elements data to verify the accuracy of each IOD method. This paper, thus, suggests the best method for IOD, according to the properties of angles-only data, for use even when the ephemeris of a satellite is unknown.
