The safe and efficient operation of the chemical processes has become one of the primary concerns of chemical companies, and a variety of fault diagnosis methods have been developed to diagnose faults when abnormal situations arise. Recently, many research efforts have focused on fault diagnosis methods based on quantitative history data-based methods such as statistical models. However, when the history data-based models trained with the data obtained on an operation mode are applied to another operating condition, the models can make continuous wrong diagnosis, and have limits to be applied to real chemical processes with various operation modes. In order to classify operation modes of chemical processes, this study considers three multivariate models of Euclidean distance, FDA (Fisher's Discriminant Analysis), and PCA (principal component analysis), and integrates them with process dynamics to lead dynamic Euclidean distance, dynamic FDA, and dynamic PCA. A case study of the TE (Tennessee Eastman) process having six operation modes illustrates the conclusion that dynamic PCA model shows the best classification performance.

The spiropyran is a typical material having photodegradation properties in the process of photochromism. The spiropyran has been utilized in various applications such as optical switch, optical memories, and biosensor because of its remarkable stability, fast responsive time, stronger color change, and photo-induced controllability. However, the spriropyran is photodegraded by the repetitive optical irradiation. The photodegradation of spiropyran have been investigated by using UV-Visible spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and Raman spectroscopy. Herein, the properties of spiropyran were characterized by using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) in the terahertz frequency region. In terahertz region, the measured absorbance of spiropyran was increased due to the photodegradation induced by the repetitive UV irradiation. The absorbance tendency of spiropyran in the terahertz frequency region was compared with that in the visible region, and they were completely opposite to each other.

This study analyzed the questions posted on the chemistry Q&A board by students and teachers in a chemistry education homepage, in order to understand the difficulties in learning and teaching chemistry. The different tendencies were found in the contents and the motivations of questions by students and teachers. In Chemistry I, students raised many questions in the 'Water' unit, while teachers raised many ones in the 'Chemical compound in our life' unit. In Chemistry II, students asked many questions in the 'Gas, liquid, solid' unit, while teachers did in 'Chemical reaction and energy' unit. Students' motivations of questioning were 'Explanation of unclear concept', and 'Problem solving', while teachers' motivations were 'Searching information', and 'Question in experiment'. The Q&A board provided a field in exchanging informations needed in learning and teaching chemistry. Educational implications were discussed on the use of Q&A board in chemistry education.

Near-infrared (NIR) absorbing dyes have been applied to various applications such as optical filters, biotechnology, energy storage and conversion, coating additive, and traditionally information-storage materials. Because image sensors used in cellphones and digital cameras have sensitivity in the NIR region, the NIR cut-off filter is essential to achieving more clear images. As energy storage and conversion have been important, diverse NIR absorbing materials have been developed to extend the absorption region to the NIR region, and NIR absorbing materials-based research has proceeded to improve device performances. Adding NIR-absorbing dye with a photo-thermal effect to a self-healable coating system has been attractive for future mobility technology, and more effective self-healing properties have been reported. In this report, the chemical structures of representative NIR-absorbing dyes and state of the art research based on NIR-absorbing dyes are introduced.

The STS contents, emphasized in the 6th curriculum, in the chemistry parts of general science textbooks were analyzed. The STS contents of textbooks showed average of 24.4%. The chapter in "modern science and technology" were included 45.5% in STS contents, 38.7% in "environment", 29.1% in energy, and 14.0% in "materials". When the STS contents were analyzed by STS topics of Piel, the results are as follows; 38.3% on environmental quality and utilization of natural source, 29.6% on effect of technological developments, 7.9% on energy, and 0.6% on human engineering. However, there were no topics on population, space research and national defense. When the STS contents were analyzed by student activities of SATIS, most of the activities were research and case study. There were few field activities of role play, problem solving and decision making, and research design.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the inquiry elements and inquiry activity of the inquiry area in chemistry I textbooks authorized by 7th curriculum. It was to confirm suitable reflection of the 7th science curriculum and to find educational suggestions of inquiry learning. It was found that the basic inquiry elements except measuring and classifying were well reflected on the textbooks. However, only several integrated inquiry elements and the inquiry activities were well reflected on the same textbooks. For the integrated inquiry elements, interpreting data was shown as the tower above the rest inquiry elements. In the analysis of inquiry activity, the numbers of experiment is placed almost half of all inquiry activities. The sum of two numbers of investigation and discussion is similar ratio to experiment but field trip and project are rarely or low ratio. As the integrated inquiry elements and inquiry activities were not balanced for various inquiry learning. It is suggested that learners be educated with complementary of these aspects in inquiry learning.

전기화학반응은 일반적으로 반응속도가 전류에, 반응의 구동력이 과전압에 대응하기 때문에 전류 또는 전위의 경시적 변화로 부터 적극 반응기구나 반응의 과정을 해석하는 법이 널리 이용되고 있다. cyclic voltammetry과 chrono-potentiometry을 비롯한 시간영역에서의 해석에 대해, 전극계의 동적인 특성을 주파수 영역에서 해석하는 것도 가능하며 교류임피던스법이 가장 잘 알려진 방법이다. 여기서는 교류임피던스법의 고찰법, 기본적인 측정법, 몇개의 계에 있어서 임피던스 특성 및 그 방법의 새로운 전개에 대해서 설명한다.

purpose of this study was to examine the effect of Small-Scale Chemistry(below SSC) Lab Program on academic achievement and science-related affective domain of high school students. For this study, SSC Lab Program was developed on the basis of analyzing the chemistry part of the high school science textbook in the 7th curriculum. The experimental group was received SSC experiment lessons(below SSC group), and the comparison group was received traditional lessons. According to the result of this study, there was a significant difference (p<.01) between a SSC group and a comparison group in academic achievement. Also, there were significant differences in science-related affective domain, especially interest and scientific attitude. It showed that SSC Lab Program was more effective to improve the academic achievement and science-related affective domain. Student perceptions on SSC Lab Program were also discussed. Majority of students thought that SSC lab program was an effective and interesting way in science study.

An electrochemical reduction on the 3-phenyl-4-nitrosydnone in acetonitrile solution has been studied by direct current, differential pulse polarography, cyclic voltammetry and controlled potential coulometry. Before the cleavage of phenyl-N single bond a irreversible electron transfer-chemical reaction(EC) mechanism of nitro functional group proceeded to form amino (or-hydroxylamino) group by multielectron transfer which is followed to give phenyl hydrazine by single electron transfer-chemical reaction at the 2nd and 3rd irreversible reduction wave of high negative potential region. The cathodic half-wave potentials shown to be shift negative due to inhibitory effect of cetyl-trimethyl ammonium bromide micelle while reversible anodic peaks on the 2nd and 3rd reduction waves in the presence of NaLS at high negative potential region.
