The rate constants for the hydrolysis of N-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)benzhydrazonyl bromide and its derivatives were determined by ultraviolet visible spectrophotometry at 20$^{\circ}C$ and a rate equation which could be applied over a wide pH range was obtained. On the basis of rate equations derived and judging from the solvent effect, substituent effect, salt effect, thermodynamic parameter, plausible mechanisms of hydrolysis have been proposed. It may be concluded that the hydrolysis through SN1 mechanism via carbonium ion intermdiate to pH 3.0, and pH 10.0, the hydrolysis proceeds through 1,3-dipolar or SN2 mechanism.

Spray pyrolysis method was applied for the preparation of indium oxide ($In_2O_3$) thin films, by varying the substrate temperature range from 400-$600^{\circ}C$. All the samples were characterized at room temperature by using X-Ray diffraction, Scanning electron microscopy, Atomic Force Microscopy, Hall Effect and UV-Visible spectrophotometry. The optimal substrate temperature required for obtaining films of high crystallographic quality was $575^{\circ}C$. By comparing optical transmittance and electrical conductivity it was observed that the best figure of merit for these films was achieved for the same temperature and electrical resistivity was in the order of ${\rho}=1.47{\times}10^{-1}[{\Omega}cm]$. Gas sensing measurements of the films in ethanol showed enhancement with surface roughness and sheet resistance.

[ $Y_{1-x}BO_3:Tb_x^{3+}$ ]ceramic phosphors were synthesized with changing the concentration of $Tb^{3+}$ at a sintering temperature of $1,100^{\circ}C$ and a reduction temperature of $950^{\circ}C$ by using a solid-state reaction method. The crystal structure, surface morphology, and photoluminescence properties of the phosphors were investigated as a function of $Tb^{3+}$ ion concentration by using XRD (x-ray diffractometer), scanning electron microscopy, and photoluminescence spectrophotometry, respectively. The XRD results showed that the main peak of the phosphor powders occurs at (101) plane. As for the photoluminescence properties, the excitation spectra showed the broad band centered at 306 nm and the emission intensity of the spectra peaked at 543 nm indicated a significant decrease as the concentration of $Tb^{3+}$ ion is increased.

Lidocaine(2-Diethylaminoaceto-2', 6'-xylidide) was transdennally delivered by iontophoresis and the effect of enhancer on the delivery of lidocaine was studied. We delivered lidocaine through the skin of hairless mouse using diffusion cell and investigated the effect of the amount of cation salts such as sodium chloride, calcium acetate, zinc acetate and aluminum acetate on the drug delivery. The amounts of transported drugs and adsorbed metal ions were measured by HPLC(High Perfonnance Liquid Chromatography) and AAS(Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry), respectively. The addition of zinc acetate and aluminum acetate greatly enhanced the delivery of lidocaine. The detection of two metal ions by AAS seemed to support the idea that the astringency effect of these ions were the main reason for the enhancement of transdermal delivery.

This study was to prepare the anionic liposomes which were to release anticancer drug (doxorubicin) at the hyperthermia temperature $({\sim}42^{\circ}C)$ and to stabilize in bovine serum solution at $37^{\circ}C$. The vesicle size and zeta potential of liposomes in Tris-HCl buffered solution (pH 7.4) were measured by an electrophoretic light scattering spectrophotometer. To estimate the stability of liposomes, liposome size was measured in bovine serum solution at $37^{\circ}C$ for 72 h. The release of doxorubicin from liposome was determined by measuring the fluorescence intensity using fluorescence spectrophotometry with temperature and time. The size of liposomes was from 120 to 160 nm and zeta potential was from $-33.3{\pm}2.4$ to $-75.6{\pm}6.9\;mV$. Anionic liposome was stabilized in bovine serum solution at $37^{\circ}C$ within 72 h. Additionally, the release transition temperature of doxorubicin from liposomes was increased by increasing mole % of anionic phospholipid.

Ketoprofen, 2-(3-benzoyl phenyl) propionic acid, has many advantages over the other antiinflammatory drugs, such as salicylates, phenytbutazone, and indomethacin. According to the reports, ketoprofen is well tolerated by patients and has very low incidence of side effects and toxic reactions. Although ketoprofen is widely used as an antiinflammatory agent, it shows poor solubility in water. In order to enhance water solubility, ketoprofen was made as lysine salt, such as acetylsalicylate lysine salt, ibuprofen lysine salt and amino acid salt of phenylbuatzone. The purpose of this study was to compare with ketoprofen lysinate in aspect of binding to human serum albumin (HSA) were made, and the association constant and the number of binding site were obtained using difference spectrophotometry. The number of binding site of HSA for ketoprofen and ketoprofen lysinate appears to be 3.3,3.2 respectively and association constants were found as follow; HSA-ketoprofen $2.23{\times}10^4\;M^{-1}$, HSA-ketoprofen lysinate $1.02{\times}10^4\;M^{-1}$.

Conventional pad- dry-cure(thermo-fixation) process usually produces functional performance on both sides of a fabric. UV curing technique was applied to impart water- and oil-repellent finish effective only on the face of a PET knitted fabric. The preferential one-side coating, by virtue of the limited penetration of UV light, was achieved by W curing after padding of a fluorocarbon agent without special coating or printing equipments. The difference in the functional property of face and back sides was examined by measuring water and oil repellency at each side of the treated fabric. The influence of pre/post-irradiation dose and agent concentration on the performance of the finished fabrics were investigated. While increase in both resin concentration and post-irradiation did not have significant effect on the finish, UV pre-irradiation of PET fabrics caused remarkable influence presumably due to appropriate surface modification of PET fabrics required for facile wetting of the resin. The dimensional stability and color change of the UV cured fabrics measured by FAST and reflectance spectrophotometry showed significantly decreased color difference and increased percent extension compared with the samples pre-irradiated without agent application.

Trace amount of uranyl (II) has been determined spectrophotometrically by measuring the optical density of the light blue yellowish coloured solutions formed by reaction between the metal ion and nicotinohydroxamic acid (NHx) in presence of different secondary ligands in strong isoamyl alcohol alkaline medium. The absorption maxima for both aqueous and extracted systems measured at their respective optimum pH were found to be 360 and 559 nm (DETA), 375 and 358 nm (EDA), 369 and 362 nm (piperidine), 354 and 341 nm (pyridine) and 363 and 336 nm (3 piperidine), 354 and 341 nm (pyridine) and 363 and 336 nm (3 - picoline), respectively at which Beer's law was obeyed. Effect of pH, reagent concentration, order of addition of reagent, time, temperature and solvent media on the absorption spectra have also been studied. Among the different systems studied, the shortest concentration range of uranyl(II) adhering to Beer's Law was 2.4 - 10.5 ppm observed for $UO_2(II)$ - NHx - DETA system in aqueous medium and also for iso amyl alcohol(IAA) extracted $UO_2$ - NHx - pyridine system was 2.4 - 7.8.

Membrane technology was used for the optical resolution of the various racemic compounds such as tryptophan, tyrosine and phenylalanine, using enantioselective membranes prepared from sodium alginate (SA) and glutaraldehyde as a membrane material and crosslinking agent, respectively, The chemical structure of the membranes was characterized with FT-IR spectrophotometry and 3D molecular structure modeling study was done to figure out the optical resolution mechanism through the membrane. Effects of degree of crosslinking, feed concentration, operating pressure and different kinds of feed solution on the membrane performances were studied. As results, it was found that with increasing degree of crosslinking and membrane thickness, and decrease in the concentration of the feed solution and smaller size of solutes, the enantinselectivity of the membrane was improved. When the sodium alginate membranes with 80% of swelling index and 79${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ of thickness were used, 77% of enantiomeric excess was obtained.

The exposure levels of chromium and nickel for chromeplating workers were evaluated. Chromium and nickel concentrations in urine and serum from 82 exposed workers and 69 controls, who were not exposed occupationally to metals, were analyzed by flameless atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The results were as follows: 1. Chromium concentrations in urine of exposed group and control were $3.49{\pm}1.83g/g$ of creatinine, $5.59{\pm}2.83g/g$ of creatinine, and in serum were $0.69{\pm}0.30g/l$, $2.31{\pm}1.16g/l$ respectively. There were significant difference of concentrations for chromium in urine and serum by group respectively. 2. Nickel concentrations in urine of exposed group and control were $0.92{\pm}0.23g/g$ of creatinine, $2.20{\pm}1.93g/g$ of creatinine, and serum concentrations were $0.52{\pm}0.34g/l$, $1.41{\pm}0.74g/l$ respectively. There were significant difference of concentrations for nickel in serum by groups statistically. 3. Chromium and nickel concentrations in urine and serum of exposed groups were not significant by workplaces(grinding, electroplants, packaging).
