The chemosenssor that consists of [$Zn_2$(1,3-bis[bis(2-pyridylmethyl)aminomethyl]benzene)]$^{4+}$ (receptor) and pyrecatechol violet (signaling unit) detects with naked eyes di- and tri-phosphates conjugated to nucleosides or in free forms. The blue color of the aqueous solution (pH 7.0) of the sensor turns to yellow upon exposing to the analytes.

In this paper, we proposed a new detection method of pH image to effectively measure a 2-dimensional pH distribution of test materials by irradiating an frequency modulated light to LAPS using a reticle. It could measure simultaneously signals in one line by applying a modulated light having difference frequency for each pixel using a frequency modulating reticle, and calculating an amplitude with respect to a frequency component by the light source. To experiment the proposed method, we designed and implemented a reticle considering of a LAPS's characteristic, and reconstructed an image by frequency analysis using the implemented reticle and test pattern image. As a result, we verified that the proposed method using the reticle was able to detect 30 times faster for a $30{\times}30$ pixels pH image having a PSNR of 22-24 [dB] than conventional method.

The bio-electrode for cytosine has been constructed by immobilizing Proteus mirabilis and Citrobacter freundii on an ammonia gas-sensor. Bacteria containing cytosine deaminase convert one molecule of cytosine into one molecule of ammonia. The Proteus mirabilis bacterial electrode showed linear response to cytosine concentration in the $1.0{\times}10^{-3}\;-\;5.0{\times}10^{-2}$M with a slope of 45-48 mV/decade in 0.2 M phospbate buffer solution at pH 8.4. The Citrobacter freundii bacterial electrode showed linear response to cytosine concentration in the $7.0{\times}10^{-5}\;-\;7.0{\times}10^{-3}$M with a slope of 48 mV/decade in 0.05M phosphate buffer solution at pH 7.6. These electrode were investigated for the effects of pH, temperature, buffer solutions, amounts of bacteria, interferences, inorganic salts and lifetime.

In recent years there has been a steady increase in geoenvironmental engineering projects where geotechnical engineering has been combined with environmental concerns. Many of these projects involve some investigation of contaminant in the ground. There are many techniques such as geophysical, drilling, sampling, md pushing techniques for investigation of contaminated ground. The most rapidly developing site characterization techniques for geoenvironmental purposes involve direct push technology, that is, penetration tests. The purpose of this study investigated underground oil storage tanks(USTs) using the envi-cone penetrometer system. The electrical resistivity sensor, pH sensor, ORP sensor, and thermometer are installed in envi-cone penetrometer system. This envi-cone penetrometer system provides a continuous profile of measurements, and it is rapid, repeatable, reliable and cost effective for investigation of contaminated ground surrounding the underground oil storage tanks.

Disposable amperometric screen-printed biosensor strips have been fabricated by a sol-gel encapsulation for the analysis of glucose. The glucose oxidase(GOx) is entrapped in the gel matrix through sol-gel transition of tetraethoxysliane(TEOS). The biosensor is fabricated by GOx containing thin film of TEOS gel on the surface of screen-printed carbon electrode(SPCE). The GOx-containing thin film of TEOS gel offers a one-step modification process on the surface of SPCE. The optimum conditions for glucose determination have been characterized with respect to the applied potential, enzyme loading ratio, and pH. The linear range and detection limit of glucose detection were from 2.0 mM to 16.0 mM and 0.25 mM, respectively.

Due to the high surface-to-volume ratio, the 3-dimensional(3D) nanostructures of metal oxides are regarded as the best candidate materials for the chemical gas sensors. Here we have synthesised flower-like 3D zinc oxide nanostructures through a simple hydrothermal route. Specific surface area of the 3D zinc oxide nanostructures synthesised in different pH values from 9.0 to 12.0 were evaluated by using a BET analyzer and the results were compared with that of a zinc oxide thin film fabricated by rf sputtering. Using interdigitated electrodes, superior CO gas sensing properties of the 3D zinc oxide nanostructures on the ZnO thin film to those of the ZnO thin film were demonstrated.

UHF method is very effective to diagnosis for partial discharge of GIS. In generally, inner UHF sensor can be attached on sheath cover of GIS under construction for periodic inspection. However, there is no inner UHF sensor for GIS of the domestic substation. We used the outer UHF sensor attached on spacer for GIS of existing substation. In this paper, we report the diagnosis result of partial discharge on 800kV GIS in domestic substation. From these results, we can find the quantity, reason and location of PD and certificate the performance of UHF method for partial discharge diagnosis of GIS.

Systematic quality control based on real time data is required for modern factories. This study introduced a method of predicting punch wear in the trimming process of automobile parts. Based on monitoring data of the mass production process using a bolt-type piezo sensor, it was shown that precursor symptoms of die wear could be predicted from the change in load pattern with respect to production volume. The load pattern that changed according to the wear of the die was verified by numerical analysis.

Over the past few decades, considerable research has been conducted on field-effect transistor (FET) biosensors; however, other than electrochemical sensors for pH, they have not reached the commercialization stage and still remain at the basic research level. Although several reports have been published on experiments with real biological samples, no reports exist of developments that have reached commercialization or finalized approval for use. In this paper, we explain the reason for the experiments of FET biosensors to induce spurious signals in an experimental setup and explain the existence of misunderstandings regarding the operating principle of FET biosensors owing to the spurious signals. Based on the thoughtful review of the results of previously published papers, we show that the electrochemical read-out principle of FET biosensors requires our intensive understanding of the interfacial potential between the solution and the sensor electrode for further progress in the FET biosensor research.

In the conventional recirculation fish farms, there is a lot of difficulties due to lack of professional manpower and high reliance on imported measurement equipment. In this paper, we implement an automatic water quality measurement system which can measure the pollution degree in a water tank of fish farms using an optical sensor(pH, DO) with the IoT technology. The problem with existing systems is that the fish tank should be checked by means of human, or put the measuring equipment into the water tank of fish farms and measurement directly. But, it has a bad influence on the growth of fish. In this paper, we propose a method of indirect measurement without immersing the measurement equipment in a water tank of fish farm and develop a sustainable measurement system in an environment containing salt and lots of pollutants without affecting the growth of fish within the water tank of fish farms.
