Four different extraction and purification methods were evaluated to determine the heterocyclic amines (HCAs) in fried pork patties. Pork patties were cooked in the teflon-coated electric frying pan at $230^{\circ}C$ for 8 min per side. HCAs in the fried pork patties were extracted and purified using four different solid-phase extraction (SPE) methods and quantitated by LC-MS (API-ESI). Recovery of four different extraction and purification methods was evaluated by comparing the HCAs amounts quantified by the standard addition method. Validation of extraction and purification methods for fried pork patties was determined to establish accurate sample preparation. The recoveries of HCAs from different SPE methods were calculated. The recovery yields were 15.7-68.7% (Polar amine group) and 25.0-74.7% (less-polar amine group) in method A. Method D provided recovery yields ranging from 14.1% to 68.7% in polar amine groups and from 3.0% to 72.3% in less-polar amine groups, respectively. Modified procedures of Method A and D were the most suitable extraction and purification method for HCAs analysis from fried pork patties.

일반적으로 프탈레이트 에스테르의 전처리방법에는 액액추출법(Liquid Liquid Extraction, LLE), 고상추출법(Solid Phase Extraction, SPE), 고상미세추출법(Solid Phase Micro Extraction, SPME) 등의 분석방법이 있다. 그 중에서 본 연구에서는 간편하고 정확성이 높은 SPE를 이용하였으며, 적은 양의 유기용제를 사용하여 전처리함으로써 2차적인 환경 오염을 줄일 수 있다는 점에서 다른 전처리 방법보다 유용하다고 할 수 있다. 또한 프탈레이트 에스테르의 경우는 구조적으로 안정적인 편이나 페놀류의 경우 hydroxy group 때문에 GC/MS 분석시 유도체화 과정이 필수적이나 이번 연구에서는 HPLC를 이용하므로 별도의 유도체화의 번거로움 없이 바로 분석할 수 있는 이점이 있다. 더 많은 연구가 필요하겠지만 앞서서의 결과에서도 알 수 있듯이 전반적으로 검출한계가 0.1$\sim$0.5$\mu$g/L 정도로 높고, 82% 이상의 양호한 회수율을 나타낸 것으로 미루어 보아 극미량 분석이 아닌 이상, 산업체에서 HPLC의 이용이 더욱 유리할 것이라고 사료된다.

To determine the concentrations of microcystins present in lake water or in tap water using high performance liquid chromatography, it is necessary to concentrate a large volume of water samples (about 20 L) into very small volume (0.1-0.3 mL). Concentration can be conveniently done when disc type solid phase extraction (SPE) apparatus is used. Using this apparatus we have investigated the recovery rates of three kinds of microcystins, RR, YR, LR. The recovery rates were relatively low and the reproducibilities were not good either. It is expected, however, that the appropriate selection of the disc conditioning and eluting solvents and reproducible reconcentration process after SPE will improve both the recovery rates and the reproducibilities.

A new type solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) composed of poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate ($LiCF_{3}SO_{3}$) was prepared by means of the solution cast technique to observe that Li ion can move by ion hopping decoupled from polymer segmental motion inside of the 'fast cationic transport process'. The highest ion conductivity of the SPEs obtained from ac impedance measurements was $1.42{\times}10^{-3}S/cm$ at room temperature for SPE with 80wt% of salt concentration. Using LSV, we found that the SPEs had good electrochemical stabilities and using FT-IR and AFM, we found the formation of network-like structure.

A highly selective molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) for sarcosine, a cancer marker, was prepared and its use as solid-phase extraction (SPE) sorbent material was demonstrated. The MIP was prepared by a very simple procedure using methacrylic acid as functional monomer and a mixture acetonitrile/water (4/1, v/v) as porogen, overcoming in this way the problems usually related to the imprinting of biological polar compounds. The MIP was tested in batch experiments in order to evaluate its binding properties and then used as SPE sorbent for the selective clean-up and pre-concentration of sarcosine. The extraction protocol was successfully applied to the direct extraction of sarcosine from spiked human urine indicating that the MIP allowed sarcosine to be pre-concentrated while simultaneously interfering compounds were removed from the matrix.

In our previous work (Kim et al., 2015), we suggested a new classification scheme, which categorizes the SPEs into four groups based on association with flare or CME inferred from onset timings as well as proton acceleration patterns using multienergy observations. In this study, we have tried to find whether there are any typical characteristics of associated events and acceleration sites in each group using 42 SPEs from 1997 to 2012. We find: (i) if the proton acceleration starts from a lower energy, a SPE has a higher chance to be a strong event (>5000pfu) even if the associated flare and CME are not so strong. The only difference between the SPEs associated with flare and CME is the location of the acceleration site. For the former, the sites are very low (~1Rs) and close to the western limb, while the latter has a relatively higher and wider acceleration sites. (ii) When the proton acceleration starts from the higher energy, a SPE tends to be a relatively weak event (<1000pfu), in spite of its associated CME is relatively stronger than previous group. (iii) The SPEs categorized by the simultaneous proton acceleration in whole energy range within 10 minutes, tend to show the weakest proton flux in spite of strong related eruptions. Their acceleration heights are very close to the locations of type II radio bursts. Based on those results, we suggest that the different characteristics of the four groups are mainly due to the different mechanisms governing the acceleration pattern and interval, and different condition such as the acceleration location.

Objectives: This study measured the impact of shifts in maternal age and parity on the increase in the low birth weight (LBW) rate in Korea. Methods: We obtained raw data for all 6 397 945 live births registered at the Korea National Statistical Office between 1995 and 2005. We calculated the proportion of increment in the LBW rate due to changes in the distribution of maternal age and parity (AP-dis) and the proportion due to changes in the age- and parity-specific LBW rate (AP-spe). Results: The LBW rate increased from 3.02% in 1995 to 4.28% in 2005. The multiple birth rate increased from 1.32% to 2.19% during the same period. Of the 1.26% points increment in the LBW rate, 0.64% points occurred among singleton births and 0.62% points occurred among multiple births. Changes in the AP-dis accounted for 50% of the increase in the LBW rate among singleton births, but did not contribute to the increase in the LBW rate among multiple births. The remainder of the total increment in the LBW rate was explained by the increase in the AP-spe. Conclusions: This study demonstrated that shifts in maternal age and parity among singleton births and increased multiple births were important contributors to the increment in the LBW rate. This study also revealed that the increase in the AP-spe was an equally important contributor as the shifts in maternal age and parity to the increment in the LBW rate among singleton births and was a major contributor among multiple births.

The purpose of this study Is to research and develop $V_{6}O_{13}$ composite cathode for lithium thin film battery. $V_{6}O_{13}$ represents a class of cathode active material used in Li rechargeable batteries. In this study, we investigated cyclic voltammetry and charge/discharge characteristics of $V_6O_{13}$/SPE/Li cells. Cyclic voltammogram of $V_{6}O_{13}$/SPE/Li cell at scan rate 1mV/sec showed reduction peaks of 2.25V and 2.4V and oxidation peaks of 2.4V and 2.2V. The discharge curve of $V_{6}O_{13}$/SPE/Li cell showed 4 potential plateaus. The discharge capacity was decreased in the beginning of charge/discharge cycling. After 8th cycling, the discharge capacity was stable. The discharge capacity of 1st cycle and 15th cycle was 290mAh/g and 147mAh/g at $25^{\circ}C$, respectively.

Electrochemical double-layer capacitors (EDLCs) based on solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) have gained an immense recognition in the present world due to their unique properties. This study is about preparing and characterizing EDLCs using a natural rubber (NR) based SPE with natural graphite (NG) electrodes. NR electrolyte was consisted with 49% methyl grafted natural rubber (MG49) and zinc trifluoromethanesulfonate ((Zn(CF₃SO₃)₂-ZnTF). It was characterized using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) test, dc polarization test and linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) test. NG electrodes were made using a slurry of NG and acetone. EIS test, cyclic voltammetry (CV) test and galvanostatic charge discharge (GCD) test have been done to characterize the EDLC. Optimized electrolyte composition with NR: 0.6 ZnTF (weight basis) exhibited a conductivity of 0.6 x 10^-4 Scm^-1 at room temperature. Conductivity was predominantly due to ions. The electrochemical stability window was found to be from 0.25 V to 2.500 V. Electrolyte was sandwiched between two identical NG electrodes to fabricate an EDLC. Single electrode specific capacitance was about 2.26 Fg^-1 whereas the single electrode discharge capacitance was about 1.17 Fg^-1. The EDLC with this novel NR-ZnTF based SPE evidences its suitability to be used for different applications with further improvement.

Ar ions were implanted at 1 MeV into (100)Cz Si wafers with dose of 1 * 10$^{15}$ ions/cm$^{2}$. Damage induced by high energy implantation and its annealing behavior during rapid thermal annealing for 10sec at temperatures from 550 to 1100${\circ}C$ were investigated by crosssection transmission electron microscopy study. It can be clearly seen from the observation that the SPE(Solid Phase Epitaxy) regrowth of the buried amorphous layer induced by ion implantation proceeds from both upper and lower amorphous/crystalline (a/c) interfaces, and the activation energy for SPE from interfaces were both 1.43eV. Misfit dislocation where two interfaces met was formed and it coalesced into the hair pin dislocation in the upper regrown region. At the higher temperature after annealing out of the misfit dislocation, hair pin dislocations showed considerable drop in its bandwidth. However, they were not disappeared even at the temperature 1100${\circ}C$ with the end of range dislocation loops which were formed at the original lower a/c interface.
