Purpose: The radial speed of plasma current sheath was measured at the plasma focus apparatus. Methods: The measurement was used to time-resolved spectroscopic method and Rogowski coils. Results: Radial current sheath speed was measured with $10^5$ cm/s at Helium and Argon pressure between 5 to 100 torr and discharging voltage of 15 kV. When the gas pressure was increased, the current sheath speeds were decreased. Conclusions: At the optimum condition of plasma focus apparatus, the radial speed is guessed $10^7$ cm/s as a results of the measurement of current sheath speed.

This study was conducted to measure the moisture content of powdered food using RF impedance spectroscopic method. In frequency range of 1.0 to 30㎒, the impedance such as reactance and resistance of parallel plate type sample holder filled with wheat flour and red-pepper powder of which moisture content range were 5.93∼-17.07%w.b. and 10.87 ∼ 27.36%w.b., respectively, was characterized using by Q-meter (HP4342). The reactance was a better parameter than the resistance in estimating the moisture density defined as product of moisture content and bulk density which was used to eliminate the effect of bulk density on RF spectral data in this study. Multivariate data analyses such as principal component regression, partial least square regression and multiple linear regression were performed to develop one calibration model having moisture density and reactance spectral data as parameters for determination of moisture content of both wheat flour and red-pepper powder. The best regression model was one by the multiple linear regression model. Its performance for unknown data of powdered food was showed that the bias, standard error of prediction and determination coefficient are 0.179% moisture content, 1.679% moisture content and 0.8849, respectively.

Reconstruction and separation of explosive-contaminated overlapping fingerprints constitutes an analytical challenge of high significance in forensic sciences. Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) allows real-time chemical mapping by detecting the light emissions from laser-induced plasma and can offer powerful means of fingerprint classification based on the chemical components of the sample. During recent years LIBS has been studied one of the spectroscopic techniques with larger capability for forensic sciences. However, despite of the great sensitivity, LIBS suffers from a limited detection due to difficulties in reconstruction of overlapping fingerprints. Here, the authors propose a simple, yet effective, method of using chemical mapping to separate and reconstruct the explosive-contaminated, overlapping fingerprints. A Q-switched Nd:YAG laser system (1064 nm), which allows the laser beam diameter and the area of the ablated crater to be controlled, was used to analyze the chemical compositions of eight samples of explosive-contaminated fingerprints (featuring two sample explosive and four individuals) via the LIBS. Then, the chemical validations were further performed by applying the Raman spectroscopy. The results were subjected to principal component and partial least-squares multivariate analyses, and showed the classification of contaminated fingerprints at higher than 91% accuracy. Robustness and sensitivity tests indicate that the novel method used here is effective for separating and reconstructing the overlapping fingerprints with explosive trace.

New organotin(IV) derivatives with general formulae R_2SnL_2 and R_3SnL, where R = methyl, n-butyl, n-octyl and phenyl and HL is either 3-[N-(4-nitrophenyl)amido]-propenoic acid or 3-[N-(4-nitrophenyl)amido] propanoic acid have been synthesized in 1 : 2 and 1 : 1 molar ratio by different methods. The FTIR spectra clearly demonstrated that the organotin(IV) moieties react with [O,O] atoms of the ligands. The bonding and coordination behavior in these complexes are discussed on the basis of multinuclear (^1H,\,^{13}C,\,^{119}Sn) NMR and mass spectrometric studies. Antibacterial, and antifungal screening tests were performed for these compounds and reported here. These values were compared to those of the precursors and it was found that diorganotin(IV) complexes exhibit less activity as compared to triorganotin(IV) complexes . LD_{50} data were obtained by Brine Shrimp assay method. Insecticidal activity was performed for selective compounds by contact toxicity method.

This paper describes an experiment of detecting a temperature and components of arc plasma of electrical circuit breaker with a spectroscopic system. The system includes an optical fiber, a monochromator which has three gratings from low to high resolution and ICCD of which time resolution is 50 ns. This system enables measuring a temperature and components of arc plasma of a circuit breaker which is generated and extinguished in a few ms. We use a Planck's law and Boltzmann Plot method for calculating a temperature of arc plasma. A Xenon lamp is used for calibrating the system and this is very important for calculating a temperature of arc plasma. In this study, Arc plasma of Ag and Cu contact was investigated and these represent the contact of low voltage and extra-ultra high voltage circuit breaker, respectively. 8 $kA_{rms}$ test current was applied with a capacitor bank.

The spectra of 31 Cygni were taken at the Asiage Observatory in Italy. Reduction was made using the 2nd and 4th order non-linear least square method. Spectral lines which were relatively sharp or strong were identified within the wavelength regions from 3800 to 5100$AA$. Radial velocities and equivalent widths were calculated from the Gaussian Fitting Method for this star. The measured mean radial velocity of 31 Cygni is + 0.5km/sec.

UV light curve of 31 Cygni has been made from the IUE high dispersion specta. The depth of primary minimum of the light curve is 5.2 magnitudes because the B4 star's steep spectral gradient. The light curve has been analyzed by the method of Wilson and Devinney Differential Correction (WD). The radial velocities have been measured using the Mg II h lines. The spectroscopic elements have been determined by the method of WD. The change of the Mg II resonance doublet has been investigated based on the eight representative spectra taken at well distributed orbital phases.

This paper reviews a simple model and spectroscopic method for extracting plasma electron temperature and argon metastable number density. The model is based on the availability of experimental relative emission intensities of only four argon lines that originate from 4p argon level. In this method, Maxwell-Boltzman distribution for EEDF is assumed and the calculation relies on the accuracy of the cross section. Therefore OES have to be compared with Langmuir probe to establish their practical validity.

Isotopic-spectral method [I] was applicated for determination of carbon in silicate materials (pure silica, guartz glasses, geological probs etc.). Isotopic heterogeneous balancing of carbon in gaseous phase and solid samples was carried out at the temperature of $1500-1900^{\circ}K$. Spectroscopic measuring of isotope concentration in a balanced gas was made using the electron-vibrational band heads of CO molecules excited in HF discharge. Limits of detection of carbon concentrations appear to be $n^*10^{-6}$.

Thermal decomposition reaction of gas-phase UO2(hfacac)2. THF was investigated in a static cell. IR spectroscopic method was used to study the thermal decomptsition of gas phase uranyl complexes. The decomposition reaction products were separated by using thermal-gradient fractional sublimation method utilizing the differences in their volatility.
