The extent of absorption and transmitance of the light that passes through some material is changed as the wavelength of the light varies, and which makdes it possible to estimate characteristics of the material. Spectrometer is a measurement system that can analyze the characteristics of material by using this principle. Its application field is so wide that it can be applied to all the arease that are concerned with analyzing materials : biological, environmental, medical and chemical area etc. This study is focused on developing precision sine drive mechanism for grating monochromator which is the most important part of the spectrometers. It is designed to be simple in struicture. It is achieved to derive basic principles to manipu- late precision sine drive mechanism : it should be aligned with a condition that .beta. , the angle between grat- ing normal and grating rod should be the same as .gamma. , the one between moving nut's normal and sliding guide. And also, it's found that the mis-alignments of the grating and mirrors are not the main factor in guaranteeing the linearity of sine drive mechanism. Performance evaluation is achieved by a standard sample by comparing experimental results with standard values. It results in wavelength accuracy of .+-. 0.5nm and resolution of 1nm. Conclusively, it can be verified that the sine drive mechanism developed in this study is not only simple in structure, but also stable and excellent in performanes.

Ursolic acid (UA) and oleanolic acid (OA) are pentacyclic triterpenoids which are widely distributed in plants, and their derivatives are aglycones of many naturally occurring saponins. It is known that pentacyclic acids may possibly enhance the mechanical barrier functions of cell membranes in plants. Recently, it has been reported that OA and UA have interesting biological activities on skin, such as anti-inflammatory and anti-wrinkle activities. Since triterpenoids are extremely insoluble and their solubility problem limits skin-care application, OA and UA were encapsulated in liposomes via micelle-to-vesicle transition to overcome poorly soluble property and enhance biological efficacy. Optimal molar ratio of OA to lecithin was found to exist for producing liposomes of small hydrodynamic size and liposomal suspensions without recrystallized precipitation of OA. From electron micrograph and dynamic light scattering studies, reconstituted OA-containing liposomes without severe mechanical treatment showed small hydrodynamic size about 150 nm. Wide-angle X-ray diffraction coupled with dynamic light scattering revealed that optimal amount of OA in liposome was 25.4 mole %. In biological evaluation, OA-containing liposome significantly increased filaggrin and transglutaminase as markers of keratinocyte differentiation in epidermal layer of hairless mouse, whereas ursolic acid-containing liposome did not show noticeable increase of filaggrin and transglutaminase compared to empty liposome. It is concluded that nano-scaled liposomes containing triterpenoids were spontaneously prepared by vesicular transition from mixed micelle and liposomal triterpenoids can enhance skin absorption of triterpenoid and biological efficacy.

A series of monoazo disperse dyes based on 2-amino-4-phenylthiazole was prepared using various N,N-dialkvlaniline derivatives as the coupling component. The dyes were characterized by IR spectral studies, visible absorption spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The dyeing performance of these dyes was assessed on cellulose triacetate and nylon fibers. These dyes were found to give a wide range of colour shades varying from bright red to royal blue with very good depth, brightness and levelness on fibers. The dyed fibers showed good to very good light fastness and very good to excellent fastness to washing, perspiration, rubbing and sublimation. The dyebath exhaustion and fixation on the fibers were found to be very good.

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) are currently attracting wide spread academic and commercial interest for the conversion of sunlight into electricity because of their easy manufacturing process and high efficiency. The solar energy conversion efficiencies of DSSC are strongly dependent on dye molecules adsorbed on the TiO2 surface which used for photosensitization of sun light, since an excited state of dye could inject an electron into the conduction band of semiconductor. We have developed novel organic dyes which have phenothiazine moieties as an electron donor in their charge-transfer chromophore for application of DSSCs. We had synthesized a series of phenothiazine derivatives which have different wave length absorbing chromophore in the molecule with high molar extinction coefficient. The photovoltaic performance of DSSC composed of organic chromophores with broad wavelength absorption property were measured and evaluated by comparison with that of pristine ruthenium dye.

A method to improve the photocatalytic activity of titanium dioxide by modification with a sensitizer and a metal oxide is proposed. To achieve this goal, we used metal oxides as dopants. In particular, $CaWO_4$ and $Gd_2O_2S$:Tb were used because their 2.6 eV and 2.2 eV band gap energy and optical properties have a large positive effect on photocatalysis. The improvement in the photocatalytic activity of $TiO_2$ modified with $Gd_2O_2S$:Tb under ultraviolet light irradiation is described in a previous study. The present work focuses on the sensitization of metal oxide-modified $TiO_2$. Having observed the ultraviolet-visible absorption spectra of 3,4,9,10-Perylenetetracarboxylic diimide in the wide visible-light region from 400 nm to 650 nm and the broad peaks in its photoluminescence spectra at 695 nm and 717 nm, we decided to use this perylene dye to sensitize modified $TiO_2$ to enhance its activity as a visible-light harvesting photocatalyst. We also explored the positive effects thin-film surface changes stemming from ultraviolet pre-treatment have on photocatalytic activity. Finally, we subjected several metal oxide-modified $TiO_2$ products sensitized by the perylene dye to ultraviolet pre-treatment, obtaining the most active photocatalysts.

The Near Infrared region of the energy spectrum was first discovered by Hershel in the year 1800. The principles of NIR is based on light absorption of specific organic chemical bonds. The absorption at each wavelength is measured and a spectre is obtained. The spectre is then treated mathematically and with the absorption data is converted to absolute units via a calibration. In the last two decades it has developed dramatically. With the invention of computers and the ability to treat a large amount of data in a very short time the use of NIR for many different purposes has developed very fast. During the last decade with the aid of very powerful PC's the application of NIR technology has become even more widespread. Now or days development of very robust calibrations can be done in a relatively short time with a minimum of resources. The use of Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIR) in the Meat industry is relatively new. The first installations were taken into operation in the 80ties. The Meat Industry in often referred to as rather conservative and slow to embrace new technologies, they stay with the old and proven methods. The first NIR instruments used by the Meat Industry, and most other industries, were multipurpose build, which means that the sample presentation was not well suited to this particular application, or many other applications for that sake. As the Meat Industry grows and develops to meet the demands of the modern markets, they realise the need for better control of processes and final products. From the early 90 ties and onward the demand for 'rear time' rapid results starts growing, and some suppliers of NIR instruments (and instruments based on other technologies, like X-ray) start to develop and manufacture instrumentation dedicated to the particular needs of the Meat Industry. Today it is estimated that there are approximately 2000 rapid instruments placed in the Meat industry world-wide. By far most of these are used as at-line or laboratory installations, but the trend and need is moving towards real on-line or in-line solutions. NIR is the most cost effective and reproducible analytical procedure available for the twenty first century.

산소포화도 측정은 Beer-Lambert's law를 기초로하여 측정 부위(손가락, 귀 등)에 LED를 발광한 후 투과된 적생광과 적외선광 신호가 통과하고 photodetector에서 감지한 후 나타난 두 광의 비율로 계산한다. Pulse oximetry는 이러한 산소포화도를 측정하는 기기인데, 근데 아주 민감하기 때문에 압력이 적절한 조직 혈류로 공급하기 어려울 정도로 아주 낮을 때 펄스를 검출한다. 다시말해서, SpO2는 혈관 수축이나 저혈압에서의 흐르지 않는 동맥혈의 펄싱의 손가락에 의한 O2소모 때문에 감소할 수도 있다. 이러한 점에서 측정 결과시의 한계가 있다. 따라서 본 논문은 SpO2를 측정할 때 어떠한 움직에 의해 나타나는 motion artifact를 최소화하는 알고리즘을 고찰하였다.

Photoelectrochemical (PEC) systems are promising methods of producing H2 gas using solar energy in an aqueous solution. The photoelectrochemical properties of numerous metal oxides have been studied. Among them, the PEC systems based on TiO2 have been extensively studied. However, the drawback of a PEC system with TiO2 is that only ultraviolet (UV) light can be absorbed because of its large band gap (3.2 - 3.4 eV). Two approaches have been introduced in order to use PEC cells in the visible light region. The first method includes doping impurities, such as nitrogen, into TiO2, and this technique has been extensively studied in an attempt to narrow the band gap. In comparison, research on the second method, which includes visible light water splitting in molecular photosystems, has been slow. Mallouk et al. recently developed electrochemical water-splitting cells using the Ru(II) complex as the visible light photosensitizer. the dye-sensitized PEC cell consisted of a dye-sensitized TiO2 layer, a Pt counter electrode, and an aqueous solution between them. Under a visible light (< 3 eV) illumination, only the dye molecule absorbed the light and became excited because TiO2 had the wide band gap. The light absorption of the dye was followed by the transfer of an electron from the excited state (S*) of the dye to the conduction band (CB) of TiO2 and its subsequent transfer to the transparent conducting oxide (TCO). The electrons moved through the wire to the Pt, where the water reduction (or H2 evolution) occurred. The oxidized dye molecules caused the water oxidation because their HOMO level was below the H2O/O2 level. Organic dyes have been developed as metal-free alternatives to the Ru(II) complexes because of their tunable optical and electronic properties and low-cost manufacturing. Recently, organic dye molecules containing multi-branched, multi-anchoring groups have received a great deal of interest. In this work, tri-branched tri-anchoring organic dyes (Dye 2) were designed and applied to visible light water-splitting cells based on dye-sensitized TiO2 electrodes. Dye 2 had a molecular structure containing one donor (D) and three acceptor (A) groups, and each ended with an anchoring functionality. In comparison, mono-anchoring dyes (Dye 1) were also synthesized. The PEC response of the Dye 2-sensitized TiO2 film was much better than the Dye 1-sensitized or unsensitized TiO2 films.

해수 중에서 클로로필을 포함하는 식물성 플랑크톤 미생물 입자와 그 외 모든 부유입자의 단위 질량 당 광 흡수계수의 크기, 즉 "비흡광계수"는 ocean color 원격탐사 기술개발에서 가장 중요한 요소 중의 하나이다. 분석방법으로는 spectrophotpmeter을 사용한 "젖은 필터법"과 "Kishino법"을 사용하였다. 황해에서는 직접 광학적 관측으로, 지중해에서는 과거의 databank를 활용하여 클로로필(ph)과 부유침전물(ss)의 "비흡광수계수"($a^{*}_{ph}$ 및 $a^{*}_{ss}$)가 분석되었다. 그리고 필터법에서 측정 중 baseline의 변동에 의하여 발생하기 쉬운 측정오차를 제거하기 위한 새로운 분석방법을 제안하였다. 이것은 흡광 스펙트럼의 기울기를 이용한 것으로, 필터 technique 와 Kishno method에서 간혹 발생하는 baseline의 변경을 완전하게 복구할 수 있게 되었다. 식물성 플랑크톤의 광흡수 파장인 440nm에서 분석한 결과, 비흡광계수는 지중해의 빈 영양해에서 큰 값이 얻어졌으며, 서해 및 남해의 부 영양해에서는 아주 낮은 값이 관측되었다. 즉, 관측 값의 범위는 약 0.01 - 0.12 $m^2$/mg 이며, 해수의 영양 등급이 낮을수록 그 값은 증가하는 r서으로 밝혀졌다. 클로로필 농도와 440nm의 비흡광수계수 관계를 희귀 분석한 결과 이들 관계는 지수 함수적으로 표현되며 ($a^{*}_{ph}=0.039 ^{-0.369}$), Bricaud(1995)의 연구결과와 거의 일치되는 것으로 나타났다. 반면에 부유침전물의 비흡광계수는 클로로필 입자와는 다르게 그 자신의 농도와는 별다른 관계를 나타내지 않았다. 그러나 서해 연안해수의 부유침전물의 흡광 스펙트럼의 특징은 Ahn(1990)이 측정한 유상 토양입자의 흡광 스펙트럼과 아주 유사한 거승로 나타났으며 그 값의 범위는 0.005 - 0.08$m^2$/g였다. 그리고 클로로필 입자 보다 훨씬 다양한 침전 부유입자의 광특성은 유기입자와 광물질의 혼합비에 의한 것으로 사료되며 그 외 해수 중에서 생물입자 size 분포 보다 더 광범위한 분포와 다양한 환경(입자의 비중, 해상의 바람, 저질상태, 수심 등)에 의한 것으로 추정되었다.
