This study developed an artificial neural network (ANN) to estimate the growth of microorganisms during a fermentation process. The ANN relies solely on the cumulative consumption of alkali and the buffer capacity, which were measured on-line from the on/off control signal and pH values through automatic pH control. The two input variables were monitored on-line from a series of different batch cultivations and used to train the ANN to estimate biomass. The ANN was refined by optimizing the network structure and by adopting various algorithms for its training. The software estimator successfully generated growth profiles that showed good agreement with the measured biomass of separate batch cultures carried out between at 25 and $35^{\circ}C$.

$NiO,\;Cu_2O,\;Mn_2O_3$ and $Cr_2O_3$ as p-type semiconductors were added in CoO with 15 wt.% ethylene glycol binder and measured the butane gas sensing characteristics. The highest sensitivity is obtained for the NiO-CoO sensors. CoO-20 at.% NiO sensor with 15 wt.% ethylene glycol binder sintered at $1100^{\circ}C$ for 24 h exhibits high sensitivity of 90 % to 5000 ppm butane gas at the sensor temperature of $250^{\circ}C$, compared to low sensitivities at the low operating temperature for commercial sensors. Response and recovery times are, respectively, within few seconds and 1min in the static flow system, indicating rapid adsorption and desorption of butane gas on sensor surface even at this low temperature.

In this study, the optical properties of localized surface plasmon resonance sensor using optical fiber was analyzed as the variation of a size and surface density of gold nano particles on the etched optical fiber surface. It is shown that a size and surface density of gold nano particles on optical fiber surface are controlled by $Na_3$ citrate quantity and pH of gold colloid solution. To measure the sensitivity, peak wavelength of absorbance spectrum was detected as the reflective index of the solution. The sensor sensitivity is linearly dependent on the size and surface densities of gold nano particles from the results of optical experiments.

The optimization of a batch-type quartz crystal microbalance (QCM)-precipitation sensor measuring acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity was conducted. To covalently bind AChE onto the gold electrode of a QCM surface, glutaraldehyde cross-linking to a cystamine self-assembled monolayer was tried at different cystamine concentrations. At the optimum conditions of the QCM-precipitation sensor, 0.1 M potassium phosphate buffer (pH 8.0), containing 0.01% Tween 80, was used as the reaction buffer, with the enzyme amount of 5 units for immobilization and the substrate concentration of 50 mg/ml. The current biosensor might find a future applicability to the sum parameter detection on organophosphorus and carbamate pesticides.

A microfluidic device for real-time monitoring of residual free chlorine and pH in water based on optical absorption is proposed. The device consists of a serpentine micromixer for mixing samples with a reagent, and a photodiode and light emitting diode(LED) for the detection of light absorbance at specific wavelengths, determined for specific reagent combinations. Spectral analyses of the samples mixed with N, N'-diethyl-p-phenylenediamine(DPD) reagent for chlorine determination and bromothymol blue(BTB) for pH measurement are performed, and the wavelengths providing the most useful linear changes in absorbance with chlorine concentration and pH are determined and used to select the combination of LED and photodiode wavelengths for each analyte. In tests using standard solutions, the device is shown to give highly reproducible results, demonstrating the feasibility of the device for the inexpensive and continuous monitoring of water quality parameters with very low reagent consumption.

Previously, Long distance transmission is difficult in most water quality sensor module is using RS-485 protocol. But with this system, even in harsh outdoor environment, it is possible to establish a radio wave sensor in a wide area network, and not only water quality sensor shall be connected to the wireless system, but also wireless integrated management system shall provide more effective way of management of the numerous small water supply facilities spread throughout the community, so that the administrator can remotely monitor the data of water turbidity, pH, residual chlorine in the water-supply, water-level, and generate alarm to cope with risks. The management of small water facilities is done by residents will be very effective to notice water quality information of small water facilities to residents.

본 연구는 양식장의 수질 환경 인자의 특성을 과학적으로 분석 요약하여 데이터에 의미를 부여하고자 하는 의도와 주기적 교체가 필요한 용존산소 센서에 대한 비용 절감 차원에서 용존 산소 예측을 위한 다중 회귀 모형식을 개발하는데 목적을 두었다. 고흥 거금도에 위치한 두 양식장의 2008.11월~2009.1월 동절기 데이터의 상관성 분석에서 수온은 용존산소와 pH에서는 음의 상관성을 나타냈고 pH는 염도와 용존산소에서 양의 상관성을 나타냈다. 2009년 금호수산 양식장의 수질인자에 대한 월별 통계량 값과 계절별 수질인자 간 차이를 표로 제시하였고 용존산소 예측을 위한 다중회귀 모형식을 개발하여 실제 관측치와 추정치와의 결과를 그래프로 제시하였다. 개발 된 다중 회귀식은 수온이 용존산소에 음의 영향을 주고 pH는 용존산소에 양의 영향을 준다. 또한 수온이 pH에 비해 용존산소 예측에 월등하게 큰 영향을 미치는 걸로 나타났다.

Acoustic analysis study was performed on 20 normal subjects by speaking nonsense syllables composed of Korean bilabial stops$(/P, P^{\star}, P^{h}/)$ and their preceding and/or following vowel /a/ (that is, $[pa, p^{\star}a, p^{h}a, apa, ap^{\star}a, ap^{h}a]$) with an ultraminiature pressure, sensor. in their mouths. Speech materials were phonated twice, once with a moderate voice, another time with a loud voice. The acoustic signal and intraoral pressure were recorded simultaneously on computer. By these procedures, we were to measure the intraoral pressure, closure duration and VOT of Korean bilabial stops, and to compare the values one another according to the intensity of phonation and the position of the target consonants. Intraoral pressure was measured by the peak intraoral pressure value of Its wave closure duration by the time interval between the onset of intraoral pressure build-up and the burst meaning the release of closure ; Voice onset time(VOT) on by the time interval between the burst and the onset or glottal vibration. Heavily aspirated bilabial stop consonant /$p^h$/ showed the highest intraoral pressure value, unaspirated /$p^{\star}$/, the second, slightly aspirated /P/, the lowest. The syllable initial bilabial stops showed higher intraoral pressure than word initial stops, and the value of loudly phonated consonants were higher than moderate consonants. The longest closure duration period was that of /$p^{\star}$/ and the shortest, /P/, and the duration was longer in word initial position and in the moderate voice. In VOT, the order of the longest to shortest was $/{p^h}/, /p/, /{p^\star}/$, and the value was shorer when the consonant was in intervocalic position and when it was phonated with a loud voice.

본 연구에서는 실험실 규모의 스크러버 전단과 후단에 설치된 가스센서의 출력값으로부터 흡수제의 실시간 흡수효율을 평가하기 위한 연구를 진행하였다. 스크러버 전단과 후단에 설치된 가스센서는 센서표면에서의 가스 흡 탈착반응으로 발생되는 전기적인 변화를 출력신호로 나타내는 측정장치이며, 스크러버의 흡수제와 암모니아 가스와의 반응시간(3시간, 6시간 및 12시간)에 따른 암모니아 가스의 흡수량을 산출하였다. 또한 가스센서의 출력값으로부터 산출된 암모니아 흡수량을 기존의 암모니아 분석방법인 인도페놀법에 의한 흡수량 산정방법과 비교해 보았으며, 약 20%의 차이를 보이긴 하나 0.99 이상의 높은 상관성을 보이고 있음을 확인하였다. 또한, 반응시간에 따른 pH와 흡수량과의 높은 상관성을 확인할 수 있었으며, 흡수제에 대한 암모니아 흡수량을 실시간으로 파악함으로써 흡수제의 파과시간을 예측할 수 있었다. 향후 다양한 연구를 통하여 악취배출시설의 스크러버에 이와 같은 가스센서를 적용하여 흡수제의 흡수 효율을 실시간으로 평가하여 교체주기 및 효율 등을 실시간으로 평가할 수 있는 시스템으로 발전이 가능함을 확인하였다.

감광성 고분자를 감지막 재료로 한 FET형 $Ca^{2+}$ sensor(Ca-ISFET)를 micropool법 및 사진식각법으로 제조하였다. 반도체 공정에 쓰이는 negative photoresist인 OMR-83을 감지막 재료로 사용한 경우, micropool법에 있어서는 가소제인 DOA를 포함하므로 좋은 감응 특성을 나타내었으나, 사진식각법에 있어서는 가소제를 사용할 수 없어 부적합하였다. Poly(vinyl butyral)을 감지막 재료로 하고, 사진식각법으로 제조된 Ca-ISFET는 $Ca^{2+}$ 농도 $10^{-4}{\sim}10^{-1}\;mole/{\ell}$ 범위에서 좋은 직선성을 나타내었으며, 감응기울기는 $23{\pm}0.2\;mV/decade$였다. 감지막 재료로서 PVB는 바탕소자인 pH-ISFET wafer 위에 adhesion promoter 용액의 전처리를 하지 않아도 양호한 부착력을 나타내었으며, 가소제 이행의 문제가 없어서 막의 안정성이 좋은 특성이 있었다.
