A linear ultrasonic motor was designed by a combination of the first longitudinal and fourth bending mode, and the motor consisted of a straight aluminum alloys bar bonded with a piezoelectric ceramic element as a driving element. That is,$L_1-B_4$ linear ultrasonic motor can be constructed by a multi-mode vibrator of longitudinal and bending modes. Linear ultrasonic motors are based on an elliptical motion on the surface elastic body, such as bar or plates. In general, the natural resonance frequency of the stator is used as a driving frequency of the motor which provides a large elliptical motion. The corresponding eigenmode of one resonance frequency can be excited twice at the same time with a Phase shift of 90 degrees in space and time. And the rotation can be reversed by changing the phase between the two signals from sin$\omega$t to cos$\omega$t. Moreover, the tangential force pushes the slider(rotor) and, therefore, determines the thrust and speed of the motor. The experimental results of fabrication motors, bimorph-tyPe motor showed more excellent than unimorph-type. The maximum speed of TBL-200, TBL-300, TBL-400, TBL -220, TBL-310 and TBL-420 motors were 0.12, 0.37, 0.39, 0.14, 0.55 and $0.60ms6{-1}$, respectively. And the efficiency were reported 1.15, 7.9, 6.6, 2.36, 10.1 and 16.5%, respectively. That time, output thrust of the motor was a strong(1~2N) and the weight of stator was a lightness(5~7g).

A sensitive and accurate method for the detection of astaxanthin was developed. The optimum HPLC system for the extraction and quantification of astaxanthin was based on a reversed phase column, and a quaternate mobile phase contained dichloromethane. The amount of astaxanthin can be accurately quantified in Phaffia rhodozyma cultures. The results of this study suggest that the mixture solution of dimethylsulphoxide and acetone is the optimal extraction solvent for astaxanthin and samples treatment for astaxanthin analysis must control low temperature and absent light operation strictly.

The solubility parameter theory for retention behaviors of phenols in a reversed phase liquid chromatography can be applied to limited ranges of the aqueous solvent system. The many examples of the exception to this theory were found to show no agreement with the retention behavior of phenols. Therefore, a new solute-solvent interaction parameter, ${\delta}_{im}$ is added to the Schoenmakers equation of the solubility parameter theory in LC to approach the equation to the real one. The new solute-solvent interaction pararneter, ${\delta}_{im}$ depends on the kinds of solvent, the solvent composition and the structure of solutes. The parameter, ${\delta}_{im}$ has the linear relationship with the solubility parameter of mobile phase, ${\delta}_{im}$. The prediction of retention behavior by this modified equation turns out to be greater than the previous one.

Fat malabsorption is an important cause of poor growth in infancy and childhood. Steatorrhea tests have been developed using various methods. Traditional measurements of stool fat, however, require large samples and it often takes as a week to complete the analysis. In this paper, a liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization/mass spectrometry (LC-ESI/MS) method was developed for simultaneous quantitative analysis of triacylglycerols, triolein, diolein and monoolein, in mouse feces. Moreover, the procedure was rapid, simple as well as compatible with LC-ESI/MS. Chloroform-isopropyl alcohol solution was used for fat-soluble sample extraction. After centrifugation and filtration, an analytical solution was prepared. Triolein, diolein and monoolein were separated using non-aqueous reversed-phase column with the mobile phase consisting of A (methanol) and B (acetone-isopropyl alcohol). The precision (% CV) and accuracy (% bias) of the assay were 3.8-14.7% and 85.2-114.9%, respectively. This method has been successfully applied to simultaneous determination of triolein, diolein and monoolein in feces from 30 mice. This method can therefore be applied to measure triacylglycerols in mouse feces accurately and precisely by LC-ESI/MS, thereby helping to predictive biomarker in fat malabsorption and diagnostic research.

In this study, sampling and analytical procedures were evaluated for the determination of ambient levels of atmospheric PAH, both in gaseous and particulate phase. The method involves low-volume sampling and Soxhlet extraction of the filters and Tenax absorbent, followed by a clean-up stage using a silica column prior to analysis by reversed-phase HPLC with wavelength programmable fluorescence and UV detection. A total of 18 PAH were identified and quantified, all of which have been of environmental concern. In order to validate the methodology and to ensure compatibility of the results, the analytical method used for the determination of PAH was evaluated with respect to the efficiencies of extraction and clean-up procedure, HPLC separation, and lower limits of detection. In addition, substrate dependency of PAH recovery was investigated for the two types of fiters, i.e. glass fiber and PTFE filters.

The simultaneous determination of creatine monohydrate (CrM), dicyandiamide and dihydrotriazine in dietary supplements using reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was developed. Chromatography was performed on a Nuclosil 100-5 SA ($4.6{\times}250mm$) column with a mobile phase of 2.3% ammonium phosphate (pH 5.5), and UV detection at 224 nm, 212 nm, and 237 nm, respectively. The performance characteristics of HPLC were determined in terms of selectivity, linearity, precision, recovery, limit of detection (LOD), and limit of quantification (LOQ). The calibration curves were linear within the concentration range of $40.0{\sim}500.0{\mu}g/mL$ for creatine, $0.1{\sim}12.8{\mu}g/mL$ for dicyandiamide, and $0.05{\sim}6.4{\mu}g/mL$ for dihydrotriazine. The detection limits of the method were 1.09, 0.01, and $0.08{\mu}g/mL$ for creatine, dicyandiamide, and dihydrotriazine, respectively. The recoveries of creatine, dicyandiamide, and dihydrotriazine were 97.2~100.9, 92.3~106.5, and 97.2~105.5%, respectively. It is expected that the chromatographic analytical method developed in this study will be usefully applicable to simultaneous determination of creatine, dicyandiamide, and dihydrotriazine contained in dietary supplements.
