Excessive presence of heavy metals in environment affects plants and fruits grown in the contaminated area. Rapid on-site monitoring of heavy metals can provide useful information for efficiently characterizing heavy metal-contaminated sites and for minimizing the exposure of the contaminated food crops to humans. This study reports on the evaluation of gold and glassy carbon (GC) electrodes with mercury or bismuth as a coating material for simultaneous determination of cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) in 0.1 M $HNO_3$ solution by anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV). The use of a square-wave voltammetric potential between a working electrode and a reference electrode caused Cd and Pb ions deposited on the electrode surface to be oxidized, thereby generating electric currents at different potentials. The mercury-coated gold electrode was not sensitive enough to detect the usable range of Cd concentrations (1 to 100 ppb). The GC electrodes with mercury or bismuth displayed well-defined, sharp and separate current peaks for Cd and Pb ions when the square-wave voltammetric potentials were applied. The peak currents measured with both mercury- and bismuth- coated GC electrodes were linearly proportional to Cd and Pb concentrations in the range of 1 to 200 ppb in 0.1 M $HNO_3$ with strong linear relationships between concentration and peak current ($R^2$ > 0.95), indicating that both of Cd and Pb ions could be quantitatively measured.

상온에서 ${\gamma}$-선 조사에 의해 생긴 황산암모늄$((NH_4)_2SO_4)$단결정 내의 방사선 손상은 몇개의 상자성 중심을 형성한다. X-band 전자스핀 공명분석기(EPR spectrometer)로 전자스핀공명 스펙트럼을 얻었고 피크의 세기가 가장 큰 g = 2.0036인 Gauss 형의 등방성 피크는 $SO_3^-$가 피크임을 알았다. 직교하는 세축 a,b,c로 그 단결정을 회전시키면서 ESR 스펙트럼을 얻어 각도 의존성을 보았다. $g^-$값은 등방성 피크와 무등방성 피크의 상대적 위치로 부터 구하였고 각 상자성종들의 $g^-$값의 3${\times}$3 matrix 원소들을 대각화하여 특성 주 $g^-$값과 방향여현을 얻었다. 이 특성 주 $g^-$값과 방향여현으로 분석한 결과 황산암모늄 단결정내에는 무등방성 피크에 해당하는 $SO_4^-,\;SO_2^-$ 및 전자 과잉중심들의 상자성 결함이 존재함을 확인 하였다.

Wind turbine blades are increasing in magnitude without a proportional increase of stiffness for which reason geometrical and inertial nonlinearities become increasingly important. Often these effects are analysed using a nonlinear truncated expansion in undamped fixed base mode shapes of a blade, modelling geometrical and inertial nonlinear couplings in the fundamental flap and edge direction. The purpose of this article is to examine the applicability of such a reduced-degree-of-freedom model in predicting the nonlinear response and stability of a blade by comparison to a full model based on a nonlinear co-rotating FE formulation. By use of the reduced-degree-of-freedom model it is shown that under strong resonance excitation of the fundamental flap or edge modes, significant energy is transferred to higher modes due to parametric or nonlinear coupling terms, which influence the response and stability conditions. It is demonstrated that the response predicted by such models in some cases becomes instable or chaotic. However, as a consequence of the energy flow the stability is increased and the tendency of chaotic vibrations is reduced as the number of modes are increased. The FE model representing the case of infinitely many included modes, is shown to predict stable and ordered response for all considered parameters. Further, the analysis shows that the reduced-degree-of-freedom model of relatively low order overestimates the response near resonance peaks, which is a consequence of the small number of included modes. The qualitative erratic response and stability prediction of the reduced order models take place at frequencies slightly above normal operation. However, for normal operation of the wind turbine without resonance excitation 4 modes in the reduced-degree-of-freedom model perform acceptable.

In this study, composite PAN-based ACNFs embedded with MgO and $MnO_2$ were prepared by the electrospinning method. The resultant pristine ACNFs, ACNF/MgO and $ACNF/MnO_2$ were characterized in terms of their morphological changes, SSA, crystallinity and functional group with FESEM-EDX, the BET method, XRD and FTIR analysis, respectively. Results from this study showed that the SSA of the ACNF/MgO composite ($1893m^2g^{-1}$) is significantly higher than that of the pristine ACNFs and $ACNF/MnO_2$ which is 478 and $430m^2g^{-1}$, respectively. FTIR analysis showed peaks of 476 and $547cm^{-1}$, indicating the presence of MgO and $MnO_2$, respectively. The FESEM micrographs analysis showed a smooth but coarser structure in all the ACNFs. Meanwhile, the ACNF/MgO has the smallest fiber diameter ($314.38{\pm}62.42nm$) compared to other ACNFs. The presence of MgO and $MnO_2$ inside the ACNFs was also confirmed with EDX analysis as well as XRD. The adsorption capacities of each ACNF toward $CH_4$ were tested with the volumetric adsorption method in which the ACNF/MgO exhibited the highest $CH_4$ adsorption up to $2.39mmol\;g^{-1}$. Meanwhile, all the ACNF samples followed the pseudo-second order kinetic model with a $R^2$ up to 0.9996.

$Ce^{4+}$, $Eu^{3+}$, $Tb^{3+}$ co-doped $Ca_3Si_3O_8F_2$ phosphor was synthesized via solid state reaction method using $CaF_2$, $CaCO_3$ and $SiO_2$ as raw materials for the host and $Eu_2O_3$, $CeO_2$, and $Tb_4O_7$ as activators. The luminescent properties of the phosphor was analysed by spectrofluorophotometer at room temperature. The effect of excitation wavelengths on the luminescent properties of the phosphor i.e. under near-ultraviolet (nUV) and visible excitations was investigated. The emission peaks of $Ce^{4+}$, $Eu^{3+}$, $Tb^{3+}$ co-doped $Ca_3Si_3O_8F_2$ phosphor lays at 480(blue band), 550(green band) and 611nm (red band) under 380nm excitation wavelength, attributed to the $Ce^{4+}$ ion, $Tb^{3+}$ ion and $Eu^{3+}$ ions respectively. The results reveal that the phosphor emits white light upon nUV (380nm) / visible (465nm) illumination, and a red light upon 395nm / 535nm illumination. RE ions doped $Ca_3Si_3O_8F_2$ is a promising white light phosphor for LEDs. The emission colours can be seen using Commission international de l'eclairage (CIE) co-ordinates. A single host phosphor emitting different colours under different excitations indicates that it is a potential phosphor having applications in many fields.

We measured the degree of macrodispersion of the various single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) using UV-VIS-NIR absorption spectroscopy. CNTs were dispersed with SDS of 2 wt % in deionized water using the homogenizer and then were further centrifugated at 6000 g for 10 min. The degree of macrodispersion, expressed by $D_m({\lambda})=A_a({\lambda})/A_b({\lambda})^*100$ (%), where ${\lambda}$ is the wavelength and $A_a({\lambda})$ and $A_b({\lambda})$ are the absorbance of the sample after and before centrifugation, respectively. In the case of MWCNTs, we evaluated the degree of macrodispersion by the average degree of macrodispersion ($D_m({\lambda})$) between 1000 and 1200 nm. The degree of macrodispersion of SWCNTs was evaluated at the wavelength in which van Hove singularity-related transition regions were excluded, i.e., the range was chosen between ${E_{11}}^S$ and ${E_{22}}^S$ peaks. We have estimated six samples with the same method. The standard deviation of each sample was lower than 5. Therefore, we presented a reliable evaluation method for the macrodispersion of CNTs for standardization.

3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid(3,4-DHBA)를 전기화학법으로 유리탄소 전극 위에 중합하여 GC/p-3,4-DHBA형의 전극을 제작한 후 이 전극을 도파민으로 재 수식한 전극을 제작하였다. 이 때 고분자 피막 상에 카르복시기와 도파민의 아민 기간에 짝 짓기 반응은 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethyl carbodiimide hydrochloride(EDC)의 존재하에서 진행되었다. 이 반응과정에서 반응한 도파민의 양은 수정판 분석기(quartz crystal analyzer:QCA)에 의하여 결정하였으며 그때 전극형태는 QCA(Au)/p-3,4-DHBA-dopamine이었다. 이 전극의 표면은 o-퀴논부분을 갖고 있어서 티탄이온에 선택성이 큰 특성을 갖고 있다. 이 전극의 산화환원과정은 $hydroquinone = quinone +2H^+2e^-$으로 두 개의 강한 파와 두개의 약한 파가 CV과정에서 관찰되었다. 이 수식전극으로 Ti(IV)이온을 $4.13\times10^{-5} gcm^{-2}$만큼 포집할 수가 있었다. 이 수식 전극으로 $5.25\times10^{-4}M$에서 $5.25\times10^{-8}M$농도범위까지 정량 할 수 있는 상관계수가 0.997인 검정선을 얻었다.

적외선 분광법을 이용하여 하부상의 다양한 pH(3~11) 변화 및 금속이온($Na^+$, $Ca^{2+}$, $La^{3+}$) 존재에 따른 perfluorostearic acid(PFS)의 이온화 거동에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) 수조의 하부상에 존재하는 pH 변화 및 금속이온의 종류에 따른 PFS의 -COOH의 C = O 신축진동 피크와 $COO^-$ 피크의 이동 및 강도의 변화를 관찰한 결과 하부상 수용액의 pH가 같은 경우에는 PFS의 -COOH 그룹의 C = O 피크 세기의 감소가 $La^{3+}$ > $Ca^{2+}$ > $Na^+$의 순으로 나타났다. 이는 PFS에 대한 친화도가 $La^{3+}$가 가장 크며, $Ca^{2+}$ 및 $Na^+$의 순서로 감소한다는 것을 알 수 있다. 또한 증류수 하부상에서 생성된 perfluorostearate 이온의 몰분율을 측정한 IR 스펙트럼으로부터 계산한 결과 약 pH 3의 낮은 pH 값에서도 50% 이상의 perfluorostearate 이온이 생성되는 것을 관찰하였으며, 이러한 결과는 PFS의 이온화도가 stearic acid (SA)보다 높은 것을 나타낸다.

Excessive presence of heavy metals in environment may contaminate plants and fruits grown in that area. Rapid on-site monitoring of heavy metals can provide useful information to efficiently characterize heavy metal-contaminated sites and minimize the exposure of the contaminated food crops to humans. This study reports on the evaluation of a bismuth-coated glassy carbon electrode for simultaneous determination of cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) in a NIST-SRM 1568a rice flour by anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV). The use of a supporting electrolyte 0.1 M $HNO_3$ at a dilution ratio (sample pretreated with acid digestion in a microwave oven: supporting electrolyte) of 1:1 provided well-defined, sharp and separate peaks for Cd and Pb ions, thereby resulting in strongly linear relationships between Cd and Pb concentrations and peak currents measured with the electrode ($R^2\;=\;0.97$, 0.99 for Cd and Pb, respectively). The validation test results for spiked standard solutions with different concentrations of Cd and Pb gave acceptable predictability for both spiked Cd and Pb ions with mean prediction errors of 6 to 30%. However, the applicability of the electrode to the real rice flour sample was limited by the fact that Cd concentrations spiked in the rice flour sample were overly estimated with relatively high variations even though Pb ion could be quantitatively measured with the electrode.

가시오가피에서 Polyacetylene 성분 중 falcarinol을 탐색하기 위해 TLC, HPLC/PDA, GC, GC/MS를 이용하여 falcarinol 표준품과 소분획물 사이의 비교 분석을 통하여 가시오가피에서 falcarinol을 동정하였다. 가시오가피 추출물을 silica gel column상에서 용매의 극성차이에 의해 6개의 분획물을 얻었고, 6개의 분획물과 falcarinol 표준품과의 TLC 상에서 전개시킨 결과 fraction 6 분획물에서 falcarinol과 동일 band의 물질을 분리하였다. Fraction 6의 분획물과 falcarinol 표준품을 HPLC/PDA로 분석한 결과 falcarinol 표준품의 peak와 동일 retention time의 peak를 fraction 6에서 분리하여 200-340nm 상에서 UV spectrum을 관찰한 결과 동일한 UV spectrum pattern을 보이는 것을 확인하였다. 이는 전형적인 polyacetylene 화합물의 UV spectrum pattern이었으며, 기존에 보고된 falcarinol의 UV spectrum과도 동일하였다. GC로 TMS 유도체화 전,후의 retention time을 확인한 결과 표준품과 fraction 6에서 동일한 결과를 보였다. TMS 유도체화 후에는 7.5분에서 8.5분으로 약 1분 정도 retention time이 증가하였고, detection 감도 또한 증가하였다. Falcarinol 표준품과 fiaction 6 분획물을 TMS 유도체화 후에 GC/MS로 mass fragment ion을 분석한 결과 표준품과 동일한 경향을 보였고 이는 기존의 보고와도 일치하였다(16). 본 실험결과들로 미루어 가시오가피에도 polyacetylene 성분인 falcarinol 존재하는 것으로 확인되었다.
