Purpose: Salivary pH is an easily measurable biochemical marker and related to various intraoral and systemic conditions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability of the salivary pH measurement using pH paper. In addition, the normal values of salivary pH using pH paper were compared to those of pH meter to investigate the validity. Methods: Twenty healthy male participants attended this study (mean age, $24.5{\pm}1.47$ years). Unstimulated saliva and stimulated saliva were collected from each subject two times with the interval of a day and salivary pH was immediately measured by the two experienced examiners using pH paper and pH meter. The salivary pH was compared between the groups and inter- and intra-examiner reliability of pH paper was investigated. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to calculate variations. Results: All measurements had good to excellent inter-examiner (ICC 0.755 for unstimulated; 0.760 for stimulated saliva), intra-examiner (ICC 0.635 for unstimulated; 0.592 for stimulated saliva) reliability and two measurement methods using pH paper and pH paper also showed high reliability (ICC 0.852 for unstimulated; 0.640 for stimulated saliva). The values measured by pH paper were significantly lower than those measured by pH meter. Conclusions: pH paper showed adequate inter- and intra-examiner reliability and it presented the validity in terms of comparison with the pH meter as a standard in the salivary pH measurement.

In the point of the Eco-concrete(Environmentally Friendly Concrete), it is very important to reduce the pH of high porous concrete by the pH to be able to grow plants, because the pH of concrete is l1~13. But the method of measuring the pH of high porous concrete is not well-defined, yet. Therefore, first, this paper report the method of measuring the pH of high porous concrete. Secondly this paper reports the pH reduction of high porous concrete to grow plants.

In this paper, we propose an implementation of pH reader on Android smart phone by using Eclipse and SDK. After taking a picture of pH spectrum and tested litmus paper at the same time, we save the picture. From the picture, reference values in RGB and YUB of all pH color in the spectrum are obtained and then those of a chosen point by user in the litmus paper are to be compared with. The distances between the reference colors and the litmus paper's color are measured by Euclidean distance in RGB or YUB coordinate. The nearest two pH values are taken to find the weighted average of the result. Series of test show the proposed scheme is feasible and has performance within 10% error.

핵의학 영상 기기인 양전자 방출 단층 촬영 장치(Positron emission tomography: PET)와 같은 진단기기는 방사성의약품을 인체에 주입하여 질병을 진단한다. 이 때 사용되는 방사성의약품은 안전성을 위하여 적절한 수소 이온농도를 가져야 한다. 일반적으로 방사성 의약품의 수소 이온 농도를 측정하는 과정에서 흔히 사용되는 것이 pH시험지이다. 표본을 pH 시험지에 떨어뜨려 pH 시험지의 변색 정도를 표준색상표(Standard color chart)와 비교하여 표본의 pH를 알 수 있다. 그러나 이 방법은 측정자의 경험 정도에 따라 pH 측정값에 차이가 발생할 수 있다. 또한 pH 메타기는 고감도의 센서를 사용함으로 오염에 주의해야 한다. 이러한 불편함을 고려하여 쉽고 간단하게 정확한 pH를 측정하기 위한 새로운 장치 제작과 영상 기반 알고리즘을 통한 소프트웨어를 개발하였다. 이렇게 개발한 장치는 최종적으로 방사성의약품의 생산 시 품질관리(QC) 통합 제어 시스템으로 사용된다.

n-ary $H_v$-structures is a generalisation of both n-ary structures and $H_v$-structures. A wide class of n-ary $P-H_v$-groups is the n-ary $P-H_v$-groups that is concidered in this paper. In this paper the notion of a normal subgroup of an n-ary $P-H_v$-groups is introduced and the isomorphism theorems for n-ary $P-H_v$-groups are stated and proved. Also some examples and related properties are investigated.

Elementally Chlorine Free (ECF) bleaching will be superior than Totally Chlorine free (TCF) bleaching, not only because they have no significant difference in effluent toxicity, but also those pulps bleached by ECF have higher brightness, strength, yield, etc., over those by TCF. With this belief, this paper focused on the chemistry of chlorine dioxide decomposition and ionization, both in water solution and in pulp slurry. Special attention was paid to chlorate ion because there have been controversies as how it is formed and what its behavior to the end pH of pulp bleaching is. As a result, during ionization of chlorine dioxide with water, both chlorate and chlorite were found to increase with increasing pH, but during ionization with pulp, chlorite was found to increase with end pH while chlorate decreased with increasing end pH. In the case of ionization with water, the disproportion equation $2CIO_2 + OH^{-} \lightarrow H_2O + CIO_3^{-} + CIO_2^{-}$ was thought to become the main reaction with the increasing pH, while in the case of ionization with pulp, the reaction $HCIO + CIO_2^{-}\lightarow H^{+} + Cl^{-} + CIO_3^{-}$ was the main reaction contributing to the formation of chlorate. Based on this above opinion, the contrary results of chlorine dioxide ionization from different researchers were discussed and explained.

Two important steps in utilizing technical kraft lignin (KL) from black liquor to synthesize lignin-phenol-formaldehyde (LPF) resin are its extraction via precipitation and fractionation. However, the effects of precipitation pH and acetone fractionation on the characteristics of hardwood KL have not been studied for LPF resins. Therefore, this paper reports the effects of the precipitation pH of black liquor and acetone fractionation on the characteristics of KL from mixed hardwood species for LPF resins. The precipitation was conducted at various pH levels from 3 to 9 of black liquor to obtain crude KL (C-KL), which was used in acetone fractionation to produce acetone-soluble KL (AS-KL) and acetone-insoluble KL (AI-KL). Precipitation at pH 3 and 9 produced the highest and lowest yields of C-KL, respectively. As expected, the C-KL infrared spectra were similar regardless of the precipitation pH levels. As the pH increased, the molecular weight of C-KL increased. However, the molecular weight of AS-KL and AI-KL after acetone fractionation increased to a maximum of 4,170 and 47,190 g/mol at pH 7, then decreased to 3,210 and 19,970 g/mol at pH 9, respectively. The smallest molecular weights of AS-KL and AI-KL were 3,210 and 15,480 g/mol and were found at pH 9 and 3, respectively. These results suggest that both AS-KL at pH 9 and AI-KL at pH 3 have good potential as starting lignins for synthesizing LPF resins that require cross-linking for polymerization.

This study was aimed to decrease AOX(Adsorbed Organic Halide Compounds) by applying bleaching methods of A(HNO$_3$ ＋ NaNO$_2$) and $D^{(H/L)}$(dual pH chlorine dioxide bleaching) to conventional OCEDED bleaching stages. And so we investigate the effects of NSA treatment and the influence of production rate of ion species in chlorine dioxide and pulp mixtures according to various pH as well as dual pH on pulp bleaching. Finally the effects of AOC_DED^{(H/L)}ED^{(H/L)}$ bleaching stage were investigated by measuring AOX, brightness, kappa number and viscosity of pulps. A stage was treated by using 4% $HNO_3$ and 0.05~2.0% $NaNO_2$ on pulp and $D^{(H/L)}$ stage was like that pulp mixed with chlorine dioxide solution was adjusted at pH 7.0 and reacted in pulp cosistency 3%, S~20min, $70^{\circ}C$, and then successively for 160~175min at pH 4.0. It was found that suitable $NaNO_2$ addition rate was at 0.6% where the brigtness of pulp was most higher and pulp viscosity was not decreased much. Chlorate ($CIO_3$) was decreased according to pH increase but chlorite($CIO_2$) was highly decreased according to pH increase. And chloride was slightly increased with pH increase. The applying of A and D^{(H/L)}$ bleaching stages to some various multiple bleaching stages ($AOC_DED^{(H/L)}/EopD^{(H/L)} etc.$) had good results that brightness was increased more 2~3% ISO than conventional method(OCEDEopD), but viscosity was dropped by only 1~2cps.

재생 신문지 생산공정의 탈묵처리는 공정의 pH에 따라 그 수율이 달라진다. 기존의 알칼리 탈묵처리 조건으로부터 의사 중성 혹은 중성으로 pH가 중화됨에 따라 과도한 탈묵 리젝트가 발생하고 수율이 저하되는 문제점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 탈묵 pH에 따른 수율 변화를 실험실 평가를 바탕으로 분석하고 리젝트를 절감하는 방안을 탐색하여 수율을 최적화하고자 하였다.
