In this study, nano-sized powders of $Si0_2-0^{\sim}15mol%B_2O_3$ composition were prepared by sol-gel processing method using TEOS(Tetra ethyl ortho silicate) and $H_3BO_3$ solution. The powders were tape-cast on High silicate glass sheet(HSG) substrate and sintered to form a layer of undercladding for the planar light wave module, During the sol-gel processing, $H_2O/Si$ mole ratio were varied to modify the size of the powders in a range from 600 to 75nm. The dispersion of the powder was modified by changing the pH of the slurry. Sintering temperature of the tape was observed to decrease with the size of the powder and the $B_2O_3$ content in the powder. When the silica powders of 75-125nm in diameter containing 15mol% $B_2O_3$ were used, 98 TD% was obtained at $1250^{\circ}C$, which is approximately $300^{\circ}C$ reduction in sintering temperature compared with micrometer-sized powders.

The automated ECG diagnostic systems that are odd in hospitals have low performance of P-wave detection when faced with some diseases such as conduction block. So, the purpose of this study was the improvement of detection performance in conduction block which is low in P-wave detection. The first procedure was removal of baseline drift by subtracting the median filtered signal of 0.4 second length from the original signal. Then the algorithm detected R peak and T end point and cancelled the QRS-T complex to get'p prototypes'. Next step was magnification of P prototypes with dispersion and detection of'p candidates'in the magnified signal, and then extraction of contextual information concerned with P-waves. For the last procedure, the CIR was applied to P candidates to confirm P-waves. The rule base consisted of three rules that discriminate and confirm P-waves. This algorithm was evaluated using 500 patient's raw data P-wave detection perFormance was in- creased 6.8% compared with the QRS-T complex cancellation method without application of the rule base.

Solid phase extraction(SPE) and matrix solid phase dispersion(MSPD) have been studied as preparation procedures for tetracyclines analysis by high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) in meat. The recovery range was 74${\sim}$98% for SPE, and 72${\sim}$93% for MSPD at spiked levels of 100ng/g for oxytetracycline(OTC), tetracycline(TC), chlortetracycline(CTC), and doxycycline(DC). The detection limits were 15${\sim}$78ng/g for SPE and 25${\sim}$84ng/g for MSPD, respectively. Analytical method was HPLC with UV detector. The purpose of this study was developing a practical, accurate and precise method for rapid extraction and quantitation of tetracycline residues in meat.

The PU-g-MWNTs/PU film was synthesized by simple blending method to fabricate composites which have excellent mechanical and electrical properties. PU-g-MWNTs based composite revealed much enhanced dispersity than pristine MWNTs composite because of interfacial interaction related with interfacial compatibility between polymer matrix and PU on the MWNTs surface. The electro-conductivity of composite was measured as a function of PU-g-MWNTs concentration. The results were correlated with percolation threshold theory. As a result, the critical concentration and exponent of electro-conductivity behavior was equal to 0.78 wt% and 0.945.

The purpose of this study is to obtain the fire safety for underground commercial space with analysing fire loads and ventilation factors. It was adopted the investigation method of field survey with commercial uses for more confidential data. The results of this study can be summarized as follows; 1) The ventilation factor shows $0.04{\sim}0.24m^{1/2}$ and it may develop ventilation-controlled fires which have much fire hazard more than fuel-controlled fires. 2) The highest value of fire load is $158.48kg/m^2$ and appeared in footwear shop which has the value $137.35kg/m^2$ for unfixed combustibles and $21.13kg/m^2$ for fixed combustibles. 3) The average value of burning rates which mean the velocity of fire development and the fire damage range is 0.143. Therefore it is desired to decrease the combustibles of compartment and is needed the method of dispersion arrangement of goods and storage to steel cabinet and so on.

Barium Titanate(BaTiO$_3$) nanoparticles were prepared at 22$0^{\circ}C$ through glycothermal process by using barium hydroxide and amorphous titanium hydrous gel as precursor and 1,4-butanediol and distilled water as solvent. It is demonstrated that the size of BaTiO$_3$ particles can be controlled by reaction conditions such as various content of 1,4-butanediol/distilled water volume ratio. This processing method can fabricate BaTiO$_3$ powders, which have a narrow distribution and exhibit good dispersion. The particle size of BaTiO$_3$ powders obtained by glycothermal process were about 50 nm to 200 nm on the condition that reaction temperature was 22$0^{\circ}C$ and holding time was 24 h.

The NiSO4 supported on Fe2O3 catalysts were prepared by the impregnation method. No diffraction line of nickel sulfate was observed up to 30 wt %, indicating good dispersion of nickel sulfate on the surface of Fe2O3. The addition of nickel sulfate to Fe2O3 shifted the phase transition of Fe2O3 (from amorphous to hematite) to higher temperatures because of the interaction between nickel sulfate and Fe2O3. 20-NiSO4/Fe2O3 containing 20 wt % of NiSO4 and calcined at 500 oC exhibited a maximum catalytic activity for ethylene dimerization. The initial product of ethylene dimerization was found to be 1-butene and the initially produced 1-butene was also isomerized to 2-butene during the reaction. The catalytic activities were correlated with the acidity of catalysts measured by the ammonia chemisorption method.

A simple and quick separation technique for selenite in natural water was developed using $TiO_2$@$SiO_2/Fe_3O_4$ nanoparticles. For the synthesis of nanoparticles, a polymer-assisted sol-gel method using hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) was developed to control particle dispersion in the synthetic procedure. In addition, titanium butoxide (TBT) precursor, instead of the typical titanium tetra isopropoxide, was used for the formation of the $TiO_2$ shell. The synthesized nanoparticles were used to separate selenite ($Se^{4+}$) in the presence of $Se^{6+}$ or selenium anions for the photocatalytic reduction to $Se^0$ atom on the $TiO_2$ shell, followed by magnetic separation using $Fe_3O_4$ nanoparticles. The reduction efficiency of the photocatalytic reaction was 81.4% at a UV power of 6W for 3 h with a dark adsorption of 17.5% to the nanoparticles, as determined by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The developed separation method can be used for the speciation and preconcentration of selenium cations in environmental and biological analysis.

The effective elastic constants of a single-crystal superlattice film have been determined by two methods based on the velocities of surface acoustic waves (SAW). One method uses formulas to calculate the effective elastic constants of a superlattice from the known elastic constants of the constituent layers. The calculated effective elastic constants are tested by comparing the corresponding SAW velocities calculated for thin-film/substrate systems with the corresponding SAW velocities measured by line-focus acoustic microscopy (LFAM). The other method determines the effective elastic constants of the superlattices by inverting the SAW velocity dispersion data measured by LFAM. The results of both methods applied to a TiN/NbN superlattice film are in good agreement.

The surface modification of engineering materials by laser beam scanning (LBS) allows the improvement of properties in terms of reduced wear, increased corrosion resistance, and better strength. In this study, the laser beam scan method was applied to produce an oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) structure on a zirconium metal surface. A recrystallized Zircaloy-4 alloy sheet with a thickness of 2 mm, and $Y_2O_3$ particles of $10{\mu}m$ were selected for ODS treatment using LBS. Through the LBS method, the $Y_2O_3$ particles were dispersed in the Zircaloy-4 sheet surface at a thickness of 0.4 mm, which was about 20% when compared to the initial sheet thickness. The mean size of the dispersive particles was 20 nm, and the yield strength of the ODS treated plate at $500^{\circ}C$ was increased more than 65 % when compared to the initial state. This strength increase was caused by dispersive $Y_2O_3$ particles in the matrix and the martensite transformation of Zircaloy-4 matrix by the LBS.
