The fourteen different electrodes coated with polymeric lipid membrane were evaluated to selectively monitor the sweet, salty, sour and bitter tastes, and umami. The polymeric lipid membrane consisted of the three components, or polymer matrix, plasticizer and electroactive material, the compositional ratio of which was 1:1.25:1. Herein, the 14 different electroactive materials were used. Sucrose, NaCl, citric acid, caffeine and MSG were used as standard materials of sweet, salty, sour and bitter tastes, and umami. The linear responses of each electrode regarding 5 tastes were analyzed by means of the correlation coefficient between electric potential difference and concentration of a taste material when the linearity was based on a linear model and a thermodynamic model, respectively. As fur salty taste, the electrode coated with valinomycin had a selective linearity at the significance level of 0.01. For monitoring sweet taste, the electrode with oleylamine and the electrode with the mixture of tai-n-octylmethylammonium chloride and dioctylphosphate (2:8) showed the significant linearities at the levels of 0.05 and 0.10, respectively.

Background and Objectives: The influence of music training on different areas of the brain has been extensively researched, but the underlying neurobehavioral mechanisms remain unknown. In the present study, the effects of training for more than three years in Carnatic music (an Indian form of music) on the discrimination ability of different areas of the brain were tested using P300 analysis at three electrode placement sites. Subjects and Methods: A total of 27 individuals, including 13 singers aged 16-30 years (mean±standard deviation, 23±3.2 years) and 14 non-singers aged 16-30 years (mean age, 24±2.9 years), participated in this study. The singers had 3-5 years of formal training experience in Carnatic music. Cortical activities in areas corresponding to attention, discrimination, and memory were tested using P300 analysis, and the tests were performed using the Intelligent Hearing System. Results: The mean P300 amplitude of the singers at the Fz electrode placement site (5.64±1.81) was significantly higher than that of the non-singers (3.85±1.60; t(25)=3.3, p<0.05). The amplitude at the Cz electrode placement site in singers (5.90±2.18) was significantly higher than that in non-singers (3.46±1.40; t(25)=3.3, p<0.05). The amplitude at the Pz electrode placement site in singers (4.94±1.89) was significantly higher than that in non-singers (3.57±1.50; t(25)=3.3, p<0.05). Among singers, the mean P300 amplitude was significantly higher in the Cz site than the other placement sites, and among non-singers, the mean P300 amplitude was significantly higher in the Fz site than the other placement sites, i.e., music training facilitated enhancement of the P300 amplitude at the Cz site. Conclusions: The findings of this study suggest that more than three years of training in Carnatic singing can enhance neural coding to discriminate subtle differences, leading to enhanced discrimination abilities of the brain, mainly in the generation site corresponding to Cz electrode placement.

정보통신설비의 피뢰설계는 정보통신기기 동작의 신뢰성을 향상시키기 위해서 매우 중요한 요소이다. 특히, 뇌격전류에 의한 접지전극의 과도전위상승은 전원설비 및 정보통신기기의 절연내력의 기초 자료가 되기 때문에 정확한 해석이 요구된다. 접지전극의 과도전위상승은 접지임피던스로부터 계산되어지며, 접지임피던스는 접지전극의 형상과 토양의 주파수의존성에 크게 의존적이다. 토양의 주파수의존성은 인가된 전계에 의한 토양의 유전체 특성을 해석할 수 있는 디바이식을 적용하였다. 또한 접지임피던스로부터 과도전위상승을 계산하는 방법을 제시하였다. 디바이식을 적용한 과도전위상승 결과를 분석하기 위해서 전송선로 모델과 대지저항률이 일정한 경우에 대해서 각각 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 수평접지전극은 30 m이며, 표준 뇌격전류파형에 대해서 대지저항률이 10, 100, $1000{\Omega}{\cdot}m$에 대해서 각각 분석하였다. 그 결과 디바이식을 적용하여 계산된 수평접지 전극의 과도전위상승이 다른 모델의 경우보다 더 낮게 나타났다.

AgI 가루에 PVC를 섞어 Infrared Pellet Presser로 눌러 만든 Pellet을 이용하여 막전극을 만들고 이것을 지시전극으로 사용하여 $Ag^+$의 활동도에 대한 전위를 측정하였다. 이 막전극의 특성을 순수한 AgI pellet와 PVC로 표면을 입힌 AgI pellet을 이용한 두 막전극의 특성과 비교하였다. 이들 막전극의 은이온 활동도에 대한 감응은 은이온의 농도가 $10^{-1}$M에서 $10^{-6}$M 까지의 범위에서 좋은 직선을 보여준다. 그러나 그 중에서도 AgI가루에 PVC를 섞어서 만든 막전극이 Nernstian 기울기에 가장 잘 맞고 견고하고 장시간 사용할 수 있어 가장 우수함을 알 수 있었다. 이 전극은 은이온 이와의 다른 양이온에 대하여는 거의 감응하지 않고 할로겐화이온, 즉$I^-,CI^-,Br^-,CN^-$에 대한 감응도는 $10^{-1}$M에서 $10^{-6}$M까지 직선관계를 유지하였다. 이 전극은 단일 할로겐화이온 뿐 아니라 할로겐화이온의 혼합시료 용액의 전위차 은법적정에 지시전극으로 이용될 수 있음을 알았다.

Direct electron transfer of hemoglobin (Hb) in the chitosan (CTS) and $TiO_2$ nanoparticles (nano-$TiO_2$) composite films was achieved by using a room temperature ionic liquid of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ($BMIMPF_6$) modified carbon paste electrode (CILE) as the basal electrode. UV-Vis and FT-IR spectroscopy indicated that Hb in the film retained the native structure. Electrochemical investigation indicated that a pair of well-defined quasi-reversible redox peaks of Hb heme Fe(III)/Fe(II) was obtained with the formal potential located at -0.340 V (νs. SCE) in pH 7.0 phosphate buffer solution (PBS). The electrochemical parameters such as the electron transfer coefficient (α), the electron transfer number (n) and the standard electron transfer rate constant ($k_s$) were got as 0.422, 0.93 and 0.117 $s^{-1}$, respectively. The fabricated CTS/nano-$TiO_2$/Hb/CILE showed good electrocatalytic ability to the reduction of trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$), which exhibited a potential application in fabricating a new kind of third generation biosensor.

The effects of molecular structure on the redox properties of the organic electroluminescent materials (Ir$(ppy)_3$ Ir$(m-ppy)_3$ Ir$(p-toly)_3$) were studied using cyclic voltammetry and spectroscopy. These iridium complexes show reversible oxidation and reduction on the electrode, which produce the symmetric cyclic voltammogram. It indicates that these materials are very stable under repetitive oxidation/reduction cycles. The electrochemically determined ionization potentia/electron affinity values are 5.4OeV/3.02eV for Ir$(ppy)_3$, 5.36eV/2.96eV for Ir$(m-ppy)_3$, and 5.35eV/2.97eV for Ir$(p-toly)_3$ from the SCE(Standard Calomel Electrode). The electrically determined band gaps are 2.38eV (521nm), Ir$(ppy)_3$, 2.4OeV (517nm), Ir$(m-ppy)_3$, and 2.38eV (521nm). Ir$(p-toly)_3$, which are similar with the optical band gaps. The position of methyl group on 2-phenylpyridine (ppy) effects do not influence much on the ionization potential, electron affinity, and band gap of Ir$(ppy)_3$ derivatives.

The test cell for preventing the edge effect reducing the intrinsic breakdown strength of polypropylene film and measuring the intrinsic breakdown strength of the film was developed. The new approach was to develope an electrode system with an edge region which is carefully graded over an extended distance. The new test arrangement employed a central circular electrode at high voltage and a set of nine concentric surrounding rings each controlled in potential by external grading resistors to be at decreasing potentials from that at the center in 10% increments. Two different size structures using the same basic principle were tried and were both found to be successful. The test electrodes were manufactured using standard printed circuit technology and were chosen to be copper on high dielectric constant GIO board.

Voltammetric deposition and differential pulse anodic stripping (DPASV) of Ge(IV)at a gold electrode was investigated. Germanium (IV) exhibits two stripping peaks by DPASV in sodium borate solution, the first peak at about -1.1v. vs SCE and the second one, in the range of -0.6 to -0.2v. vs SCE. Factors affecting the sensitivity and precision included the nature of working electrode, supporting electrolytes, deposition potential, deposition time, pH, pulse height, voltage scan rate. The relative standard deviation of the measurements of the peak currents, for 100ng/ml Ge(IV), was less than ${\pm}3%$. The detection limit of Ge(IV) was 0.01ng/ml. Percent recovery in the extraction procedure of Ge(IV) from matrices by benzene in c-HCl, followed by back extraction with saturated borax solution, ranged from 96 to 104%.
