An optical semi-automatic titrator was constructed employing the technique of the reflectance spectrometry and was tested for the determination of the end points of the acid-base, precipitation, and EDTA titrations. And since the current optical semi-automatic titrator built on the principle of the reflectance spectrometry could be successfully used even for the determination of the end point in the precipitation titration where the solid particles are formed during the titration process, it was found to be feasible that a completely automated optical titrator would be designed and built based on the current findings.

This paper is concerned with developing a finite element model incorporating boundary damper techniques which is applicable to the prediction of wave agitations in harbors. Based on the linear wave theory, a mild-slope equation is used. In order to consider the wave energy dissipations on solid boundary. the partial reflecting boundary condition is introduced. Radiating boundary condition is modeled by using tile second-order boundary damper developed by Bando et al. (1984). The near field region in harbor is discretized using 8-noded isoparametric elements, the boundary conditions are presented using 3-noded line elements. The numerical model is applied to a fully open rectangular harbor to prove its validity. Numerical experiments are also performed to investigate the effects of the wave reflection coefficients of solid boundary and the types of the dampers.

The induction mechanisms of planar arrangements in cholesteric liquid crystals (CLC) which showed selective reflections of visible light were investigated by measuring the selective reflectivity and FTIR peak intensity of $C{\equiv}N$ stretching band. Although the planar arrangement of CLC was not as perfectly induced as the cases prepared with using alignment layers, it could be also induced by stretching polymer substrate or by applying shear forces. The planar arrangements were induced by forming CLC helical structures on top of liquid crystal molecules which were in contact with the substrate and oriented all in the same direction.

Reflex sympathetic dystrophy is an important clinical entity that is characterized by excessive or prolonged pain, vasomotor and other autonomic disturbances, delayed recovery of function, and trophic changes. This syndrome is among the most frequently encountered problems in clinical medicine, and proper diagnosis and therapy are critical. Accidental or surgical trauma or one of a variety of disease states may become a precipitating factor. Proper recognition and treatment result in rapid elimination of symptoms and complete recovery. A 56-years old male accidented total amputation of the proxomal part of the left index finger in May, 1996. Emergently, complete replantation procedure was successfully performed in the department of reconstructive surgery, medical center, Korea University. Afterward, he began to suffer from uncontrolled, prolonged pain in left index finger, proximally spreading pain to the left upper extremity and limited joint movement of the left shoulder. Although many treatments were used for this syndrom, not all of them were effective. Furthermore, the treatments which proved effective had detrimental side effects. However, thoracoscopic left thoracic sympathectomy was performed in our department. This therapy successfully relieved the pain and improved shoulder joint movement.

Bistable chiral splay nematic liquid crystal display (BCSN LCD) is a memory type liquid crystal display using splay and $-\pi$ twist states as two stable states. When the cell thickness to pitch (d/p) ratio is 0.25, splay and $-\pi$ twist states have permanent memory time. However, when the transition from $-\pi$ twist state to splay state is caused by a fringe field, pixel regions show that the splay state is not perfect, but rather includes a contribution from the $-\pi$ twist state. In this paper, we propose a reflective BCSN LCD using $-\pi$ twist state in which the two stable states do not coexist. The fabricated reflective BCSN LC cell shows a high contrast ratio of over 30:1 and response times of 950 ms and 450 ms in vertical and fringe field switching, respectively. The proposed cell also shows wide viewing angle characteristics of $180^{\circ}$ in left- and right directions.

In this paper, the solutions of TM (transverse magnetic) scattering problems by perfectly conducting strip grating on two dielectric layers are analyzed by applying the FGMM (Fourier Galerkin moment method) as a numerical method. For the TM scattering problem, the induced surface current density is expected to the very high value at both edges of the strip, then the induced surface current density on the strip is expanded in a series of the multiplication of the functions of appropriate edge boundary condition and the Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind. The numerical results are obtained for the magnitude of induced current density, the normalized reflected power and transmitted power. The numerical results using proposed functions were improved the convergence faster than existing exponential functions, and the numerical results shown the good agreement compared to those of the existing papers.

In this paper, we have applied Berenger's perfectly matched layer(PML) absorbing boundary conditition(ABC) with three dimension at the propagation direction of field, side boundary and upper boundary in which evanescent and radiation field is exist. Even though the same computationaal domain is used, PML is superior to other ABC in the absorbing ability that is obtained reflective coefficient about $10^{-4}$ unit for the propagation wave, but PML is ineffective in absorbing evanescent field. Also we have compared dispersive characteristics of the microstrip with Kobayashi's emprical method, and obtaind very similar result, but 0.8% error is generated at the dc or near.

In this paper, TE(transverse electric) scattering problems by a resistive strip grating over grounded dielectric multilayers according to the strip width and grating period, the relative permittivity and thickness of dielectric multilayers, and incident angles of a TE plane wave are analyzed by applying the FGMM(Fourier-Galerkin Moment Method) known as a numerical procedure. The induced surface current density is simply expanded in a Fourier series by using the exponential function as a simple function. Generally, the relected power gets increased according as the relative permittivity and thickness of dielectric multilayers gets increased, the sharp variations of the reflected power are due to resonance effects that take place and were previously called wood's anomallies$^{[7]}$. To verify the validity of the proposed method, the numerical results of normalized reflected power for the uniform resistivity R = 0 as a conductive strip case show in good agreement with those in the existing paper.

To analyze the diffraction properties of optical signals and the significant impacts of tapered sidewall profile at periodic trapezoidal 2D diffraction gratings, Toeplitz dielectric tensor is first defined and formulated by 2D spatial Fourier expansions associated with trapezoidal profile. The characteristic modes in each layer is then based on eigenvalue problem, and the complete solution is found rigorously in terms of modal transmission-line theory (MTLT) to address the pertinent boundary-value problems. Based on those one, the numerical analysis is performed on how the tapered side profile of grating structures with trapezoidal refractive index distribution affects the design of a sub-wavelength grating reflector. The numerical results reveal that this tapered sidewall profile plays a critical role in determining the reflection bandwidth, the average reflectance, and the band edge.
