Quantitative analysis of the Zingiber Officinale sample using subcritical water extraction (SWE) was developed employing High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) to bolster the advancement of this innovative green extraction process. This research focuses on three principal ginger bioactive compounds: 6-gingerol, 6-shagoal, and 10-gingerol. Various stages were undertaken to establish the quantitative analysis method, encompassing the optimisation of HPLC operating conditions and the formulation of standard calibration curves, yielding individual compound equations. A robust correlation within the calibration curve was achieved, exhibiting an r² value of 0.9814 and an RSD of 5.00%. A simultaneous, swift, and dependable method was established with an injection time of 20 minutes and an 8-minute delay between injections, in contrast to the previous HPLC analysis requiring a 45-minute injection time for detecting and quantifying all components. Notably, no post-treatment was applied after the SWE process. This advancement allows for potential future online measurement of Zingiber Officinale bioactive compounds extracted using subcritical water extraction through this technology.

Objective : For this study, mice on mercurial toxication were given mercuric subcutaneous injection to their abdomen factitiously. After delivering Kami- bangpungtongseong-san(KBT) extracts to the mice by oral administration, we observed changes from liver and kidney of mice. Method : The BALB/c mice were distributed into three groups: No treated group(Normal group), Mercuric chloride subcutaneous injection group(Control group), Kami-bangpungtongseong-san-treated group (Sample group). KBT Extracts were delivered orally in 7 days. We observed involution of liver, necrosis of liver and cell plate loss of liver, lipid peroxidation CYP1A1 expression. We observed involution of proximal convoluted tubules, hypertrophy of Bowman's capsule, periodic acid-Schiff(PAS)'s positive reaction of proximal convoluted tubules, heat shock protein(HSP)700's positive reaction in glomerulus. For the charting the results, image analysis was taken. The result of image analysis was verified significance by Sigmaplot 2000(P<0.05). Result : The mice' liver on mercurial toxication were relieved involution of liver, necrosis of liver, and cell plate loss of liver and also declined lipid peroxidation and CYP1A1 expression. The mice' kidney on mercurial toxication were relieved involution of proximal convoluted tubules, hypertrophy of Bowman's capsule and increasing PAS's positive reaction of proximal convoluted tubules. On the other hand it was declined HSP700's positive reaction in glomerulus. Conclusion : According to the result of study, we think that we can expect to the effect of KBT extracts' therapeutic action to tissue injuries of the mice' liver and kidney on acute mercurial toxication.

In the seismic retrofitting of harbor breakwaters in Korea, the recovery rate is often uncertain due to site conditions and site conditions, and problems continue to arise. Therefore, in this study, we analyzed the recovery rate and compressive strength of the improved material through drilling survey by grouting confirmation method after applying low-fluidity mortar injection method, and furthermore, we checked the elastic modulus by downhole test and tomography to confirm the reinforcement effect of soft ground after ground improvement. The experimental results showed that the average shear wave velocity of the ground increased from 229 m/s to 288 m/s in BH-1 and BH-3 boreholes to a depth of 28.0 m, and the average shear wave velocity of the ground to a depth of 30.0 m tended to increase from 224 m/s to 282 m/s in the downhole test. This is believed to be a result of the increased stiffness of the ground after reinforcement. The results of the tomographic survey showed that the Vs of the soft ground of the sample at Site 1 increased from 113 m/s to 214 m/s, and the Vs of the sample at Site 2 increased from 120 m/s to 224 m/s. This shows that the stiffness of the ground after seismic reinforcement is reinforced with hard soil, as the Vs value satisfies 180 m/s to 360 m/s in the classification of rock quality according to shear wave velocity.

We propose glass and PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) chips for DNA amplification with continuous-flow PCR (polymerase chain reaction). The PDMS microchannel was fabricated using a negative molding method for sample injection. Three heaters and sensors of ITO (indium-tin-oxide) thin films were fabricated on glass chip. ITO heaters and sensors were calibrated accurately for the temperature control of the liquid flow. ITO heater generated stable heat versus applied power. ITO sensor resistance was changed linearly versus temperature increase as a RTD (resistance temperature detector) sensor. As a result, we enable precision temperature control of continuous-flow PCR chip. Using the continuous-flow PCR chip DNA plasmid pKS-GFP 720 bp was successfully amplified.

A quantitative GC-MS spectrometric assay was used for the determination of residual N, N-dimethylaniline as a contaminant in commercial penicillin derivatives from various sources. The assay utilizes selective ion focusing to monitor in a GC effluent the molecular ions of DMA generated by electron impact ionization. This method includes dissolution of the sample in alkaline solution, extraction of organic base with cyclohexane and injection into GC-MS with a 3% OV-17 column. Levels of 50 ppb of DMA were easily measured with a coeffecient of varation less than 5 % and recoveries from spiked samples exceeded 97 %. The results of the determinations of DMA in various commercial penicillins were relatively free of this contaminant.

The amperometric responses of thiourea were studied in 0.1 M NaOH by flow injection analysis. D. C. amperometric and pulsed amperometric detection methods were applied for the determination of thiourea at novel metal electrodes such as Pt and Au. Triple-step potential waveforms were adopted in the pulsed amperometric detection. With an optimized pulsed waveform, the current for the oxidation of thiourea was examined with the variation of flow rate of carrier solution and with the change in the amount of sample injected. Gold working electrode turned out to be better in sensitivity and signal to noise ratio than Pt electrode in the pulsed amperometric detection of thiourea. Detection limit is estimated to be 5.33 ${\times}$ 10$^{-5}$ M with this detection method.

A method for determining nitrate in post treatment chromium plating solutions with PVC-based nitrate-selective electrodes is described. PVC-based nitrate-selective membranes which contain TDMANO3 ion-exchanger in PVC/NPOE, PVC/DOA or PVC/DBP matrices, and a commercially available Corning electrode (No. 476134) have been compared in respect of their detection limits, response slopes, selectivities at various pHs, and dynamic response to the hydrochromate ion in basic condition. The PVC/DBP/TDMANO3 membrane electrode was chosen as the ISE detector for the determination of nitrate in the presence of hydrochromate interference. The amount of nitrate in real post treatment chromium plating solution could be determined successfully with this electrode in both static and flow-injection measurements when the sample was properly diluted with an alkaline buffer.

In this study, the detection limits of lower fatty acids in air were investigated by using Dynamic SPME(Solid Phase Micro-Extraction), i.e. improved Head Space - SPME method(HS-SPME). This Dynamic SPME, called SPDE(Solid Phase Dynamic Extraction), is the analytical method for volatile compounds in air with the extraction by using a stainless steel needle of which inner surface is coated with adsorption material and following the gas chromatographic analysis by inserting the needle into a injection port of GC and subsequently, desorption of the volatile compounds into a gas-chromatographic column. Extraction was carried out by passing the sample air through the needle with a suction pump which has been used for a detection tube. The result of measurement for the 6 lower fatty acids showed that the detection limits ranged from 0.10 ppm to 0.44 ppm and the linear correlation coefficients were over 0.99. Relative standard deviations obtained from 5 analytical repetition of a ca. 1.6 ppm standard mixture were in the range of 1.87%~2.47%. This method has been shown to be a adequate for the measuring C2~C5 fatty acids in air in the concentrations of over several hundreds ppb.

Polymer materials have a lot of merits including the low cost and the easiness of forming. For these reasons they are widely using at many manufacturing industries. Microcellular foaming process appeared at MIT in 1980s to save a quantity of material and increase mechanical properties. There are many process variables in appling microcellular foaming process to the conventional injection molding process. They can be solved by using Axiomatic Design Method which is very useful design method for designing a new product. Its main character is scientific and analytical. The information about the thickness of cavity plays an important role in making an effective foam. The goal of this research is to design mold system for advance of foaming magnitude with axiomatic design method. There is a relation between the change of cavitys thickness and foaming magnitude made after inserting a gas. R/t is a conception that indicate proportion between radius and thickness of cavity in mold system. By means of SEM observation of side surface of cavity sample, foaming magnitude of polymer in microcellular foaming process is decreasing gradually as the value of R/t is increasing. In this paper, an advanced mold system was presented by mapping the relation between functional requirements and design parameters.

A simple, selective and highly sensitive flow injection catalytic method was presented for determination of ruthenium based on its catalytic effect on the oxidation of pyronin B by periodate in pH=1.0. The reaction rate is controlled specrophotometricaly by monitoring the dye absorbance at 555 nm. The optimized conditions make it possible to determine ruthenium in the ranges of 0.1-10.0 ng/mL (r2=0.9982) and 10.0-50.0 ng/mL (r2=0.9934) with a detection limit of 0.04 ng/mL and a sample rate of 30±5 samples/h. Relative standard deviation for the results of five replicate measurements does not exceed 1.44%. The proposed method has been successfully applied for quantitation of ultra trace amounts of ruthenium in some environmental and biological samples.
