In this paper, The Influence of chromatic fiber dispersion on the transmission distance of MMW(millimeter-wave) link is analyzed and discussed. It is shown that dispersion significantly limits the transmission distance in intensity modulated direct detection and heterodyne links operating in the above 20㎓ frequency region by inducing a carrier to noise penalty on the transmitted signal. We analyze and discuss the influence of dispersion induced CNR(Carrier to Noise Ratio) penalty for direct detection and heterodyne method from simulation.

본 연구는 칼럼 전 유도체화와 HPLC-형광검출을 이용해 염소 소독 음용수 중 7가지 nitrosamine 화합물을 분석하는 방법을 추출 과정(액-액 추출 vs. 고상 추출)과 형광 유도체화 과정(denitrosation 및 dansylation)으로 나누어 평가하여 확립하였다. 최적화된 유도체화 방법으로 두 가지의 추출법을 비교하였을 때, Ambersorb 572를 이용한 고상 추출에 대한 회수율과 재현성(상대표준편차, RSD)이 각각 54.4-88.7%와 1.9-19.4%로 액-액 추출의 51.4-87.7%와 4.2-33.3%에 비해 더 좋게 나타났다. 확립된 방법은 기존의 HPLC를 이용한 분석 방법에 비해 회수율과 재현성 모두 개선되었으며, 방법검출한계(method detection limits, MDLs)는 0.5-4.4 ng/L이었다. 이 방법으로 춘천의 염소로 소독하는 두 곳의 정수장과 10 곳의 수도꼭지에서 채취한 물 시료 중 nitrosamine 화합물을 분석한 결과, N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA)이 주요 화합물이었으며, 농도 범위는 26.1-112 ng/L이었다.

Enterobacter sakazakii is an emerging food pathogen, which induces severe meningitis and sepsis in neonates and infants, with a high fatality rate. The disease is generally associated with the ingestion of contaminated infant formula. In this study, we describe the development of a real-time PCR protocol to identify E. sakazakii using a TaqMan probe, predicated on the nucleotide sequence data of the 168 rRNA gene obtained from a variety of pathogens. To detect E. sakazakii, four primer sets and one probe were designed. Five strains of E. sakazakii and 28 non-E. sakazakii bacterial strains were used in order to ensure the accuracy of detection. The PCR protocol successfully identified all of the E. sakazakii strains, whereas the 28 non-E. sakazakii strains were not detected by this method. The detection limits of this method for E. sakazakii cells and purified genomic DNA were 2.3 CFU/ assay and 100 fg/assay, respectively. These findings suggest that our newly developed TaqMan real-time PCR method should prove to be a rapid, sensitive, and quantitative method for the detection of E. sakazakii.

The reaction rate, equilibrium, and flow injection analysis methods were fundamentally evaluated for the determination of aqueous ammonia. The selected indophenol blue method was based on the formation of indophenol blue in which ammonium ion reacted with hypochlorite and phenol in alkaline solution. In the optimized reaction condition, the reaction followed 1st order reaction kinetics and the final product was stable. The absorbance measurements before and after the equilibrium were utilized for the reaction rate and equilibrium methods. The reaction rate methods, based on the relative analytical signals for the possibility of eliminating interferents, were shown to have good linear calibration curves but the detection limit and the calibration sensitivity were poorer than those in the equilibrium method. The detection limits were 32-49 pub and 24 pub for the reaction rate and equilibrium methods, respectively In the flow injection analysis, the absorbance was measured before the equilibrium reached and thus resulted in 30% reduction of calibration sensitivity. However, the detection limit was 11 ppb, indicating that the peak-to-peak noise for the blank was remarkably improved. Compared to the manual methods, the optimized experimental condition in a closed reaction system reduced the blank absorbance and the inclusion of ammonia from the atmosphere was prevented. In addition, highly reproducible mixing of sample and reagents and analytical data extracted from continuous recording showed excellent reproducibility.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the best method to analyze PAHs at extremely low concentrations. To this end, 16 PAHswere analyzed simultaneously by GC/MS, HPLC/FLD and HPLC/UVD, and the analytical characteristics of HPLC and GC/MS were compared. Methods: This study was conducted by GC/MS and HPLC/FLD/UVD, and evaluated linearity, precision and detection limit. Standard solutions were prepared for 21 samples in the range of $0.00001{\sim}1.0{\mu}g/mL$ and the samples were divided into four groups. All samples were made in three sets and analysis was replicated seven times. Results: Sixteen PAHs could be simultaneously separated by HPLC and GC/MS, and the adequate equipment was HPLC/FLD. The retention times by HPLC were shorter than GC/MS, and HPLC had better separation for most PAHs than GC/MS. The peaks of naphthalene and naphthalene-D8 partially overlapped for GC/MS. HPLC/FLD had a 20-2000 times lower limit of detection than GC/MS and UVD. However FLD was not adequate for analyzing acenaphthylene because it has too low a fluorescence quantum yield to be detected. The precision of HPLC/FLD/UVD and GC/MS showed less than 20% at $0.001{\mu}g/mL$ PAHs and when the concentration was higher, the coefficient of variation was decreased. HPLC/FLD was better for the overall detection of limits. Conclusions: The results indicate that the HPLC/FLD method has good linear range, precision and a detection of limits from $0.00001{\sim}0.0001{\mu}g/mL$ for all 16 PAHs. This study contributes to providing useful data for analysis technology and can be applied to occupational exposure measurement for PAHs in workplaces.

Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES) is widely used for the determination of trace elements in geological samples in Iran. In this paper, we have calculated the detection limits of neutron activation analysis (NAA) for some of the common elements in such samples utilizing the ORIGEN and MCNP codes and verified the simulations using the experimental results of three soil standard reference materials, namely, G02.SRM, G18.SRM, and G28.SRM. The results show that while the detection limit of ICP-AES method is usually in the mg/kg range, it is represented to the ${\mu}g/kg$ range for most of the elements of interest using the NAA method, and the simulations can be verified in a tolerance range of 20%.

A on-line SPE (solid phase extraction)-HPLC preconcentration method was developed for the determination of phenolic compounds at trace levels in environmental water sample. XAD-4 and Dowex 1-X8 were used as sorbent in the on-line SPE-HPLC method for the selective enrichment of nine phenolic compounds, which are included in the priority pollutants list of the US EPA. Also alumina prefiltering considerably reduced the amount of interfering peaks due to humic substances that could accumulated due to the preconcentration step and prevent quantification of polar phenolic compounds in environmental water samples. This method was used to determine the phenolic compounds in tap and river water and superiority to the US EPA 625 method in its enrichment factor, pretreatment time, recoveries, and detection limit. The limits of detection were in the range of $0.3-0.9\;{\mu}g/L$ in tap water sample.

This study developed an HPLC analysis method for the determination of isoegomaketone (IK) and perillaketone (PK) in Perilla frutescens (L.) Britton leaves. P. frutescens ethanol extract was optimized through an HPLC analysis using a C18 column ($250{\times}4.6mml$, D, $S-5{\mu}m$, 12 nm) with gradient elution of water and acetonitrile as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 1 mL/min and a UV detection wavelength of 254 nm. The results of this method showed linearity in the calibration curve at a coefficient of correlation ($R^2$) of IK 0.9995, PK 0.9998. The limits of detection (LOD) for IK and PK were $0.234{\mu}g/mL$ and $0.952{\mu}g/mL$. The limits of quantification (LOQ) for IK and PK were $0.017{\mu}g/mL$ and $0.043{\mu}g/mL$. The inter-day precision RSDs of IK and PK in the P. frutescens were 1.25 to 2.69% and 0.36 to 1.10%, respectively, and the intra-day precision RSDs of IK and PK were 0.96 to 2.51% and 0.90 to 1.93%, respectively. The accuracies of IK and PK were 96.31 to 97.92% and 101.26 to 105.14%. In conclusion, this method was applied successfully to the detection of IK and PK in P. frutescens.

A method is developed for the simultaneous determination of dissolved iron, copper, and zinc in rainwater. The method involves 25-fold evaporative concentration, ion chromatographic separation and subsequent spectrophotometric detection after post-column reaction with 4-(2-pyridylazo) resorcinol. Analytical sensitivities, being defined by the slopes of calibration curves, are 0.93, 0.54, and 0.11 Abs/ $\mu$g/ml for iron, copper, zinc, respectively. Detection limits render around a few tenth of one ng/ml. Precisions evaluated by replicate analysis of real sample are better than 10% RSD. Due to the lack of certified standards for rainwater, the accuracy of the method could not be assessed directly. However, the results of this method agree well with those by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Analytical results for a suite of Seoul rainwaters are presented herein.

An analytical method was investigated for the meaiiurement of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) concentrations in air samples. Procedures required for column chromatographic clean up. silicagel (stage I) and gel permeation chromatography (stage II), were discussed. Identification and quantification of PCBs and OCPs were performed using a combination of gas chromatography/mass spectrometry/ selected ion monitoring. Recovery tests calculated from six samples are 68∼137% for PCBs and 58∼130% for OCPs except for endrin aldehyde. Instrumental detection limits determined for the PCBs and OCPs varied from 0.05 to 0.18 pg/m3 and from 0.71 to 16.82 pg/㎥, respectively. The method has been applied to the analysis of air samples collected at Ansung city, Kyonggi province, Korea. This method may serve as a screening protocol for the simultaneous determination of PCBs and OCPs in air.
