The direct determination of lead in the whole-blood by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometric analysis was carried out by using the sample which was diluted five-fold with 1% Triton X-100. Matrix modification was tried to remove the interferences of blood matrix and also to get the optimum analytical condition. Good agreement with certificated values in reference materials(bovine blood) supplied by comparison program in Japan was obstained when 1% $(NH_4)_2HPO_4$ as matrix modifier and ashing temperature, $700^{\circ}C$ were used or 1% $(NH_4)_2HPO_4$ and 0.1% $PdCl_2$ as matrix modifier and ashed at $700^{\circ}C$. Standard deviations were appeared as 2.2~6.3% for 1% $(NH_4)_2HPO_4$ and 3.1~9.1% for 1% $(NH_4)_2HPO_4$ and 0.1% $PdCl_2$ in the range of $31{\sim}624{\mu}gPb/l$.

The layered structure of organic-inorganic perovskite hybrids, $(C_nH_{2n+1}NH_3)_2CuC1_4$ (n = 6, 8, 10, 12) have synthesized. In $(C_nH_{2n+1}NH_3)_2CuC1_4$ compounds, the long-chain protonated alkylammonium ions as tilted bilayer type are inserted into perovskite-type layers of corner sharing $CuCl_6$ octahedron. Three solid phases have been characterized in the perovskite layered compound $(C_nH_{2n+1}NH_3)_2CuC1_4$ using HT-XRD and DSC. The $(C_nH_{2n+1}NH_3)_2CuC1_4$ compounds shows solid-solid phase transitions with stepwise increasing of the layer distance. Three different structures are explained by the conformational change of the long-chain protonated alkylammonium ions.

Ta(OC2H5)5와 NH3를 이용하여 Cycle-CVD법으로 산화탄탈륨 막을 증착하였다. Cycle-CVD법에서는 Ta(OC2H5)5와 NH3사이에 불활성 기체를 주입한다. 하나의 cycle은 Ta(OC2H5)5주입, Ar주입, NH3 주입, Ar 주입의 네 단계로 이루어진다. Cycle-CVD법으로 산화탄탈륨 막을 증착할 때, 온도 $250-280^{\circ}C$에서 박막의 증착 기구는 원자층 증착(Atomic Layer Deposition:ALD)이었다. $265^{\circ}C$에서 Ta(OC2H5)5:Ar:NH3:Ar:NH3:Ar의 한 cycle에서 각 단계의 주입 시간을 1-60초:5초:5초:5초로 Ta(OC2H5)5 주입 시간을 변화시키면서 산화탄탈륨 막을 Cycle-CVD법으로 증착하였다. Ta(OC2H5)5주입시간이 증가하여도 cycle 당 두께가 $1.5\AA$/cycle로 일정하였다. $265^{\circ}C$에서 증착된 박막의 누설 전류는 2MV/cm에서 2x10-2A/$\textrm{cm}^2$이었고 열처리후의 산화탄탈륨 막의 누설 전류값은 $10-4A\textrm{cm}^2$ 이하고 감소하였다. 증착한 산화탄탈륨 막의 성분을 Auger 전자 분광법으로 분석하였다. 2$65^{\circ}C$에서 증착한 막의 성분은 탄탈륨 33at%, 산소 50at%, 탄소 5at%, 질소 12at% 이었으며 90$0^{\circ}C$, O2300torr에서 10분 동안 열처리한 박막은 탄탈륨 33at%, 산소 60wt%, 탄소 4at%, 질소 3at%이었다. 박막의 열처리 온도가 높을수록 불순물인 탄소와 질소의 박막 내 잔류량이 감소하였다. 열처리 후의 박막은 O/Ta 화학정량비가 증가하였으며 Ta의 4f7/5와 4f 5/2의 결합 강도가 열처리 전 박막보다 증가하였다. 열처리 후 누설 전류가 감소하는 것은 불순물 감소와 화학정량비 개선 및 Ta-O 결합 강도의증가에 의한 것으로 생각된다.

The aim of this research is to study the feasibility of the solar(hot fluid) driven $NH_3/H_2O$ absorption chiller, made by re-manufacturing of Gas fired $NH_3/H_2O$ absorption chiller. This experimental study is performed with the temperature of the inlet hot fluid of generator. In order to determine the inlet temperature of the generator, which gives maximum COP, the experimental data are obtained with various hot fluid supply temperature in range of $130\sim170^{\circ}C$. Remodeled chiller is operated with periodical cooling effect, which due to mixture subcooled pool boiling, then the COP is evaluated in average. The maximum COP$(\sim0.36)$ is at $160^{\circ}C$. The temperature is stable operation temperature range of typical vacuum collector. It offers a feasibility of solar driven $NH_3/H_2O$ absorption chiller.

Spectroscopic and electrostatic probe measurements were made to examine plasma characteristics with or without a metal plate for a 10-㎾-class direct-current arcjet Heat fluxes into the plate from the plasma were also evaluated with a Nickel slug and thermocouple arrangement. Ammonia and mixtures of nitrogen and hydrogen were used. The NH$_3$ and $N_2$+3H$_2$ plasmas in the nozzle and in the downstream plume without a plate were in thermodynamical nonequilibrium states. As a result, the H-atom electronic excitation temperature and the $N_2$ molecule-rotational excitation temperature intensively decreased downstream in the nozzle although the NH molecule-rotational excitation temperature did not show an axial decrease. Each temperature was kept in a small range in the plume without a plate except for the NH rotational temperature for NH$_3$ gas. On the other hand, as approaching the plate, the thermodynamical nonequilibrium plasma came to be a temperature-equilibrium one because the plasma flow tended to stagnate in front of the plate. The electron temperature had a small radial variation near the plate. Both the electron number density and the heat flux decreased radially outward, and an increase in H$_2$ mole fraction raised them at a constant radial position. In cases with NH$_3$ and $N_2$+3H$_2$ a large number of NH radical with a radially wide distribution was considered to cause a large amount of energy loss, i.e., frozen flow loss, for arcjet thrusters.

It is considered that the urea injection DeNOx SCR(selective catalytic reduction) system is the only promising method to satisfy the worldwide NOx emission standards. As for the theoretical aspect, reactants of NO and $NO_2$ with $NH_3$ produce $H_2O$, $N_2$ and $O_2$ which do not harm human beings and environmental as well. The realization of maximum NOx conversion (without using a post oxidation catalyst) is only possible with closed loop controlled urea dosing. It means built-in $NH_3$ gas sensor have to be developed for detecting accurate $NH_3$ concentration for the feedback system. Using YSZ(yttria-stabilized zirconia) as a solid state electrolyte and $In_2O_3$ as a sensing material, this paper aims to study dependable $NH_3$ gas sensor for the promising solution of DeNOx technology, which have a reproducible electric output signal, a high sensitivity and fast response.

$Cr_{2}O_{3}$ thick films were fabricated by screen printing method on alumina substrates and annealed at $700^{\circ}C$, $800^{\circ}C$, and $900^{\circ}C$ in air, respectively. Structural properties examined by XRD and SEM showed (116) dominant $Cr_{2}O_{3}$ peak and increased grain sizes with the annealing. The resistance of the films decreased with increasing the annealing temperature. Gas sensing characteristics to $NH_{3}$, CO, $C_{4}H_{10}$, and NO gases showed sensitivity only to $NH_{3}$ gas. $Cr_{2}O_{3}$ thick films annealed at $700^{\circ}C$ had the sensitivity of about 15 % for 100 ppm $NH_{3}$ gas at the working temperature of $300^{\circ}C$. The thick films had good selectivity to the $NH_{3}$ gas. The response time to $NH_{3}$ gas was about 10 seconds.

Natural human epidermal growth factor (nhEGF) was purified from pregnant human urine by benzoic acid adsorption, DEAE-Sepharose ion exchange, and immunoaffinity chromatography. The purified nhEGF was further separated into four fractions using Bondapak C$_{18}$ HPLC system. Following characterization by Western blot analysis and double immu- nodiffusion, we found that each fraction corresponds to four derivatives of the nhEGF. For biological analysis of nhEGF, we optimized the labeling time and serum concentration for the incorporatioin of 5-bromo-2'-deoxy uridine (BrdU), a non-radioactive alternative for [$^{3}$H]-thymidine uptake, into NIH 3T3 cells. The DNA synthesis of NIH 3T3 cells was gradually increased at the nhEGF concentrations between 0.1 - 10 ng/ml in the Dulbecco's Modified Eagles Medium (DMEM) containing 0.2% Fetal calf serum (FCS). When we assayed the biological activity of four fractions, the activity of the second fraction was superior to that of the others. Based on the results from the HPLC analysis spiked with recombinant human epidermal growth factor (rhEGF) and amino acid sequencing, we concluded that the second fraction was nhEGF and the other three fractions were the derivatives of nhEGF. In addition, the proportion of nhEGF was approximately 46% is compared with that of the other three derivatives.

Experimental investigations on the effect of two kinds of additives ; aqueous NaOH solution and ammonia(NH$_3$) for removal of NOx and SO$_2$ simultaneously by corona discharge were carried out. The simulated combustion flue gas was[NO(0.02[%])-SO$_2$(0.08[%])-$CO_2$-Air-$N_2$] Volume percentage of aqueous NaOH solution used was 20[%] and $N_2$flow rate was 2.5[$\ell$/min] for bubbling aqueous NaOH solution Ammonia gas(14.81[%]) balanced by argon was diluted by air. NH$_3$ molecular ratios(MR) based on [NH$_3$] and [NO+SO$_2$] were 1, 1.5 and 2.5 The vapour of aqueous NaOH solution and NH$_3$was introduced to the main simulated combustion flue gas duct through injection systems which were located at downstream of corona discharge reactor. NOx(NO+NO$_2$) removal rate by injecting the vapour of aqueous NaOH solution was much better than that by injecting NH$_3$however SO$_2$removal rate by injecting NH$_3$was much better than that by injecting the vapour of aqueous NaOH SO$_2$removal rate slightly increased with increasing applied voltage. When the vapour of aqueous NaOH solution and NH$_3$were simultaneously injection NOx and SO$_2$ removal rate were significantly increased.
