Globotriaosylsphingosine (lyso Gb3) is considered as one of the biomarkers for Fabry disease. A rapid and simple UPLC-MS/MS method was developed for the determination of reliable biomarker, lyso Gb3. Total analytical procedure takes only 15 min including sample preparation and MS/MS analysis. Limit of detection was 0.85 ng/ml (S/N=3). The calibration curve was linear over the range of 2.0~400.0 ng/ml ($R^2=0.9999$). Inter-day and intra-day assay accuracy were 93.4~100.6% (RSD, 0.6~6.0%) and 97.5~100.7% (RSD, 3.6~5.2%). Absolute recoveries of 97.6~98.6 showed excellence of a new analytical method. The method was applied to human and mice urines, proved the suitability for the quantification of lyso-Gb3 for screening, diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring of Fabry disease patients.

A gas chromatography/mass spectrometric assay method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of icing inhibitors, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether and diethylene glycol monomethyl ether in ground water contaminated with JP-8. Ethylene glycol monobutyl ether and ethylene glycol monoethyl ether were used as the internal standard and surrogate, respectively. 100 mL of ground water was extracted twice with 20 mL of methylene chloride. The extract was concentrated to dryness, dissolved with 100 ${\mu}$L of methanol and analyzed by GC-MS (SIM). The use of an Innowax column gave the peaks good chromatographic properties, and the extraction of these compounds from samples gave recoveries of about 50% with small variations. The method detection limits of the target compounds were in a range of 0.5-0.8 ng/mL in ground water.

We developed an alternative assay method without hazardous reagent of chloroform for urazamide tablets in Korean Pharmaceutical Codex. The HPLC analytical method was validated by system suitability, linearity, precision, accuracy and robustness. The linearity of the calibration curves in the desired concentration range is good ($r^2$ >0.999). Precision was obtained less than RSD 1.17%. Accuracy was obtained with recoveries in range of 98.12% and 99.47%. The developed assay could be expected to become valuable tools for revising the Korean Pharmaceutical Codex.

Difference in recovery behaviors from the circular deformation of natural rubber (NR) composites aged in air and distilled water, respectively were investigated. Recoveries of the samples aged in air were larger than those of the samples aged in distilled water. Recovery rates of the samples reinforced with filler were faster than those of the unreinforced ones. Recovery rates of the carbon black-filled samples were faster than those of the silica-filled ones. Difference in the recovery behaviors according to the aging media can be explained by the crosslinking density changes and the annealing effect.

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.

Cloud point extraction was used to extract mefenamic acid (MF) from human urine, and spectrofluorimetry and spectrophotometry were used to analyze extracted MF. The variables affecting extraction and phase separation, i.e. HCl and Triton X-114 concentration, temperature and time of equilibration, were optimized. Under the experimental conditions used the limit of detection for extraction of 25 mL of sample was 0.006 and 0.045 mg $L^{-1}$, with relative standard deviations of 2.52 and 1.45% (n = 5) for spectrofluorimetric or spectrophotometric methods, respectively. Good recoveries in the range of 95-107% were obtained for spiked samples. The proposed methods were applied to the determination of MF in human urine.

A quantitative GC-MS spectrometric assay was used for the determination of residual N, N-dimethylaniline as a contaminant in commercial penicillin derivatives from various sources. The assay utilizes selective ion focusing to monitor in a GC effluent the molecular ions of DMA generated by electron impact ionization. This method includes dissolution of the sample in alkaline solution, extraction of organic base with cyclohexane and injection into GC-MS with a 3% OV-17 column. Levels of 50 ppb of DMA were easily measured with a coeffecient of varation less than 5 % and recoveries from spiked samples exceeded 97 %. The results of the determinations of DMA in various commercial penicillins were relatively free of this contaminant.

Learning is naturally embedded in organizational ongoing-processes and routines. Recent many research models of organizational failure ignore how failing masks breakdowns and recoveries of organization-embedded learning as a naturally occurring process. Organizational learning is the platform in tandem with base-modules of organization in this point. Organizations learn and unlearn while they acquire, discard, and forget organizational experiences or knowledges. These processes in public sector organizations are different from learning behaviors in private sector. This study expects to explore architectural components of learning organization in public sector, focusing on distinct characteristics of public organizations, and to implement learning model based on system thinking(system dynamic) approach.

An analytical method was developed to determine monocrotophos residues in apple, citrus, and soil using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with ultraviolet absorption detection. Monocrotophos was extracted with acetone from apple, citrus and moist soil samples. The extract was concentrated, added with saline water, and subjected to n-hexane washing to remove nonpolar co-extractives. Dichloromethane partition was then followed to recover monocrotophos from the aqueous phase. Silica gel column chromatography was employed to further purify the extract prior to HPLC determination. Reverse-phase HPLC using an oct-adecylsilyl column was successfully applied to separate and quantitate the monocrotophos residue in sample extracts at the wavelength of 230 nm. Overall recoveries of monocrotophos from fortified samples averaged $95.3{\pm}2.1%$ (n=6), $970{\pm}0.7%$ (n=6), and $92.8{\pm}4.3%$ (n=12) for apple, citrus, and soil, respectively. The proposed method was quite reproducible and sensitive enough to replace the troublesome gas-liquid chromatographic analysis for monocrotophos residues.

A simple and convenient digestion method was developed for the determination of heavy metal in polyurethane sample using only nitric acid in open system without heating. This digestion method had prevented loss of volatile elements of Hg and As and reduced the pretreatment time for the sample digestion. The detection limit is lowered over 10 times than that of microwave digestion method. Recoveries in polyurethane material were 108% for As, 96 ~ 99% for Hg, 102 ~ 103% for Cr, 98 ~ 102% for Pb, 86 ~ 90% for Cd, and 90 ~ 93% for Cu.
