An analytical method for determining potential endocrine disruptors (bisphenol A, 2-chlorophenol, 2,4-dichlorophenol, 2,4,6-trichlorophenol, pentachlorophenol, p-t-butylphenol, p-pentylphenol, p-hexylphenol, p-t-octylphenol, p-heptylphenol, nonylphenol) by solid-phase extraction (SPE) and High Perfomance Liquid Chromatography(HPLC) equipped with fluorescence and variable wavelength detector has been developed. The SPE process for sample concentration was performed on a commercially available Oasis HLB cartridge packed with polymeric sorbents. The effect of elution solvent and elution volume on the recoveries of the analytes were investigated with HPLC. Average recovery of >85% was achieved with 60mg sorbents using 5mL of methanol as elution solvent. Phenolic compounds in canned drinks, beverages and water samples were surveyed by this proposed method.

The measurement of solid particles suspended in air is conducted with a quartz crystal microbalance. The measurement system is connected to a personal computer and multiple sensors are utilized to make simultaneous measurement possible. In this paper, the detail of experimental setup is extensively explained for the possible future application of the system in other areas. It is found that the measurement system is suitable for an on-line continuous determination of the concentration of solid particles in air.

In order to compare the electrochemical performance with that of Calomel Electrode, MnO2 solid-state-electrode was fabricated and its potential and impedance were measured in chloride aqueous solution. As a result, the SCPS without chloride ions showed a potential of -200 mV or more and an impedance over 2000 Ωcm, but the potential below -600 mV and the impedance below -200 Ωcm showed as the chloride concentration in the solution increased. It is considered electrochemical studies on the corrosion of rebar are necessary for the MOE, which shows the same tendency as SCE and exhibits electrochemical performance, over the Mortar level in the future.

A fully packed capillary electrochromatographic (CEC) microchip with an on-column micro-solid phase extraction (SPE) bed for the preconcentration and separation of organic analytes was prepared. A linear microchannel with monodisperse colloidal silica packing was formed on a cyclic olefinic copolymer microchip with two reservoirs on both ends. Silver-cemented silica packing frit structure was formed at the entrance of the microchannel by electroless plating treatment as a base layer. A gold coating was formed on it by reducing $Au^{3+}$ to gold with hydroxylamine. Finally micro-SPE bed was formed by self-assembly adsorption of 1-dodecanethiol on it. Micro-SPE beds were about 100-150 ${\mu}m$ long. Approximately $10^3$ fold sensitivity enhancements for Sulforhodamine B, and Fluorescein in nM concentration levels were possible with 80 s preconcentration. Basic extraction characteristics were studied.

The solid-phase synthesis of new series of 1,6,8-trisubstituted tetrahydro-2H-pyrazino[1,2-a]pyrimidine-4,7-diones as bicyclic $\beta$-turn mimetics is described. Their NF-kB inhibition activities were tested and the effect of substituents on bicyclic ring was investigated. Among the prepared compounds, the fluorobenzyl and methoxybenzyl group substituted compounds 26 and 27 at C-1 and C-8 position showed more inhibitory activities than the others. Tested at a concentration of 10 uM, these two compounds showed a 60% inhibition against the target NF kB 549.

A highly selective molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) for sarcosine, a cancer marker, was prepared and its use as solid-phase extraction (SPE) sorbent material was demonstrated. The MIP was prepared by a very simple procedure using methacrylic acid as functional monomer and a mixture acetonitrile/water (4/1, v/v) as porogen, overcoming in this way the problems usually related to the imprinting of biological polar compounds. The MIP was tested in batch experiments in order to evaluate its binding properties and then used as SPE sorbent for the selective clean-up and pre-concentration of sarcosine. The extraction protocol was successfully applied to the direct extraction of sarcosine from spiked human urine indicating that the MIP allowed sarcosine to be pre-concentrated while simultaneously interfering compounds were removed from the matrix.

The production of conidia of entomopathogenic Beauveria bassiana by solid-state fermentation was studied for the development of a biocontrol agent against aphid Myzus persicae. The optimal conditions for conidia production on polished white rice were 40% moisture content, $25^{\circ}C$ culture temperature, 2-day-old seeding culture grown in 3% corn meal, 2% rice bran, 2% corn steep powder medium, initial conidia concentration of $10^7$ conidia/g in the wet rice, 10% inoculum size, and use of a polyethylene bag as a container. The polyethylene bag containing inoculated rice was hand-shaken every 12 hr during fermentation. Using optimal conditions, the maximum conidia production obtained was 4.05 g conidia/100 g dry rice after 14 days of cultivation, a rate 2.83 times higher than conidia yield of pre-optimization.

Local anesthetics are used to reduce pain, but they are so frequently injected to patients. So, we prepared lidocaine solid lipid microspheres (SLM) as long acting abdominal injection using spray drying method and evaluated drug entrapment, particle size, SEM, zeta potential and in vitro and in vivo drug release pattern, The particle sizes of SLM were 30∼100$\mu$m and it is enough to inject into abdominal tissue. The entrapment efficiency of SLM was over 95％ as spray drying method. Surfactant and PC decreased the burst effect by 20∼30％. In in vivo test, C-6 showed controlled release concentration profile in plasma for 8 days and C-5 sustained longer than we expected.

When an alloy such as Ni-W is liquid phase sintered, heavy solid W particles sedimentate to the bottom of the container, provided that their volume fraction is less than a critical value. The sintering process evolves typically in two stages, diffusiondriven macrosegregation sedimentation followed by true sedimentation. During macrosegregation sedimentation, the overall solid volume fraction decreases concurrently with elimination of liquid concentration gradient. However, in the second stage of true sedimentation, the average solid volume fraction in the mushy zone increases with time. It is proposed that the true sedimentation results from particle rearrangement for higher packing efficiency.

The focus of this study was to investigate the suitable analytical methods for measurement of sulfamerazine and its metabolite in shrimp hepatopancreas and tail tissue, in addition to the methods for the optimization of solid-phase extraction cartridge conditions and the elucidation of sulfamerazine concentrations in aqueous buffer using HPLC with UV and EC detectors. Compared with UV detector the EC detector appears to be 10 times more sensitive than that of the UV detector. After the shrimp was exposed to 10 ppm sulfamerazine, the accumulation levels of sulfamerazine and its metabolite in tail tissue, which is edible portion, were considerably lower than 0.1 ppm. The data indicate that sulfamerazine continues to be a candidate for use at levels of sulfamerazine concentration used in aquaculture of shrimp.
