In order to compare analytical conditions for measuring PAHs(polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) in ambient air, a series of experiment were conducted using three different types of extraction methods that include:(1) accelerated solvent extraction (ASE), (2) soxhlet, and (3) sonification methods. Efficiency and relevant analytixal parameters for each of these methods were examined on five different types of solvents that include:(1) 10% diethyl ether in n-hexane(v/v), (2) dichloromethane, (3)cyclohexane.(4) toluene, and (5) Benzene: ethanol (4:1). Comparison of extraction efficiency for various combinations between methods and solvents was made through an application of both internal and external standard calibration techniques. The extraction efficiency tests, when checked using both internal and external standards, allowed us to derive meaningful comparison among different techniques and among solvents.

The extraction and separation of isoflavones from Korean soybean were peformed by various mechanical and chemical extraction methods. They included solvent extraction, stirring, supersonification and sub/supercritical water extraction. From the experimental results of the variation of solvent extraction by change in composition, the increase in extraction of a specific compound by stirring or supersonic energy, and the application of supercritical fluid with superior solvating power over solvents, the sonification was the most desirable extraction method in extracting aglycone isoflavones, daidzein and genistein from Korean soybean.

Polyaniline Emeraldine Base (PANI EB) polymerized by chemical oxidative polymerization was doped with Camphorsulfonic Acid(CSA). Polyaniline-Camphorsulfonic Acid Emeraldine Salt(PANI-CSA ES) solutions were solved in organic solvents and sonificated at the room temperature for different solvents in PANI-CSA ES solution and sonification time. PANI-CSA ES solutions was coated on PET films using bar coater. 1-Step oxidatively-polymerized Polyaniline-Camphorsulfonic Acid Emeraldine Salt(PANI-CSA ES) was solved in m-cresol:chloroform 1:1 co-solvents and their solution was bar-coated on PET film. The surface resistivities of these coated films were measured, The surface resistivity of PANI-CSA ES solution in m-cresol:chloroform 1:1 co-solvent system was 5${\times}$10$^2$$\Omega$/$\square$.

Alkyl polyglucosides were synthesized by solvent-free glycosidation using ultrasonic emulsification. We examined glycosidation conditions of fatty alcohol with glucose hydrate and anhydrous glucose in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid. Glucose was emulsified in a molar excess of fatty alcohol for 20 minutes with a ultra-sonicator at room temperature and converted in a stirred reactor to more than 95% polyglucoside within $2.5{\sim}3.5$ hr under $20{\sim}30$ mmHg at $110^{\circ}C$ with a three-fold molar ratio of fatty alcohol to glucose in the presence of 1mol% p-toluenesulfonic acid. It was possible to obtain a polyglucoside mixture of HLB 13 consisting of 65% monoglucoside and 35% oligoglucoside with less than 1% of fatty alcohol.

This study aims to obtain fundamental understandings involving the manufacturing processes of nano-composites with chemically surface-modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes(MWCNTs), and explore the role of functionalized MWCNTs in the epoxy/MWCNT composites. For this purpose, MWCNTs were purified by the thermo-chemical oxidation process, and incorporated into an epoxy matrix by in situ polymerization process, the surface of MWCNTs were functionalized with carboxyl functions which were demonstrated by an infrared spectroscopy. The mechanical properties of epoxy/MWCNT nano-composites were measured to investigate the role of a chemically functionalized carbon nanotubes. To improve the dispersion quality of MWCNTs in the epoxy matrix, methanol and acetone were exploited as dispersion media with sonification. The epoxy/MWCNT nano-composites with 1 or 2 wt.％ addition of functionalized carbon nanotubes show an improved tensile strength and wear resistance in comparison with pure epoxy, which shows the mechanical load transfer improves through chemical bonds between epoxy and functionalized MWCNTs. The tensile strength with 7 wt.％ functionalized MWCNTs increases by 28％ and the wear resistance is dramatically improved by 100 times.

In this paper, we suggest new music composition algorithm based on fractal theory. User can define and control fractal shape by setting an initial state and production rules in L-System. We generate an asymmetric fractal tree based on L-System and probability. Then a music is generated by the fractal tree image using sonification techniques. We introduce two composition algorithm using the fractal tree. First, monophonic music can be generated by mapping x and y axis to velocity and pitch, respectively Second, harmonic music also can be generated by mapping x and y axis to time and pitch, respectively Using our composition algorithm, user can easily generate a music which has repeated pattern created by recursive feature of fractal, and a music which has structure similar to fractal tree image.

Nonregulatory trehalase has been purified from mycelia of Rhztoctonia solani. a pathogen of rice sheath blight. Purification procedures involved sonification, gel filtration and fast protein liquid chromatography. Purity was confirmed by isoelectric focusing with silver staining. The purified trehalase was estimated to have a molecular weight of 54,000 and pI point of 5.1. Maximal activity was observed at pH 5.4 and temperature $45^{\circ}C$. The purified trehalase exhibited on apparent Km for trehalose of 3.11 mM and a Vmax of 105.3 $\mu mol min^{-1}\times mg^{-1}$. Validamycin, a commercial antibiotics of rice sheath blight, was a non-competitive inhibitor of Rhzzoctoniu solani trehalase.

The analytical methods and their ambient levels of organic nitrogenous compounds such as nitrosamines, nitramines (nitroamines), imines, amides and nitro-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (nitro-PAHs) in the atmosphere are summarized and discussed. Sampling for the analysis of organic nitrogenous compounds was mostly conducted using high volume air sampler. The direct liquid extraction (DLE) using sonification and the pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) using the accelerated solvent extraction (ASE) have been frequently employed for the extraction of organic nitrogenous compounds in the atmospheric samples. After extraction, clean-up via filtration and the solid phase extraction (SPE) and concentrations using nitrogen and rotary evaporator have been generally conducted but in some studies the clean-up and concentration steps have been omitted to prevent the loss of analyte and improve the recovery rate of the analytical procedure. Instrumental analysis was mainly carried out using gas chromatography (GC) or the high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with the single quadrupole mass spectrometer or tandem mass spectrometer in the electron ionization (EI), positive chemical ionization (PCI) and negative chemical ionization (NCI) mode and analysis sensitivity of nitrosamines and nitramines were higher in NCI mode. Desirable sampling and analysis methods for analyzing particulate organic nitrogenous compounds are suggested.

This paper is the implementation of the conversion system from image to music based on intentional synesthesia. The input image based on color, texture, and shape was converted into melodies, harmonies and rhythms of music, respectively. Depending on the histogram of colors, the melody can be selected and obtained probabilistically to form the melody. The texture in the image expressed harmony and minor key with 7 characteristics of GLCM, a statistical texture feature extraction method. Finally, the shape of the image was extracted from the edge image, and using Hough Transform, a frequency component analysis, the line components were detected to produce music by selecting the rhythm according to the distribution of angles.

정밀여과 및 한외여과에 의해 단백질 등과 같은 거대분자 물질을 분리정제할 경우 피할 수 없는 문제점은 막에 의해 분리된 거대부자들이 막표면에 쌓이는 농도분극(concentration polarization)현상과 이 누적된 거대분자가 막과의 상호작용에 의해 막표면 또는 막세공 내에 비가역적으로 침적되는 막오염(membrane fouling)현상이 일어난다는 점이다. 특히 막표면 또는 막세공 내에 분리대상 물질이 비가역적으로 침적되어 발생되는 막오염은 상대적으로 가역적 침적 과정인 농도분극보다 제어 또는 억제가 어려워 최근의 막분리 분야 연구의 상당 부분이 막오염 유발요인의 해석, 막오염을 효율적으로 제어 또는 억제하기 위한 방법의 연구에 집중되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 단백질 용액의 정밀여과시 단백질 변성이 막오염에 미치는 영향을 체계적으로 규명하기 위한 연구의 일환으로서 BSA를 분리대상 물질로하여, BSA용액을 미리 기계적 Shear(펌프 및 sonification), 열, 화학적 방법(pH 및 변성제)으로 변성시킨 후, 이 용액을 대상으로 회분식 정밀여과 실험을 수행하여 단백질 응집체 형성이 막투과량 감소에 미치는 영향을 실험적으로 검토하였으며, 각각의 막투과량 감소 특성을 아래의 4가지 blocking filtration law로서 해석하였다: complete blocking law, intermediate blocking law, standard blocking law, cake filtration law.
