The electrochemical analysis of silver ion was performed using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and square-wave (SW) stripping voltammetry, and electrode cell systems were fabricated with graphite pencil electrode (GE) of working, reference and counter electrodes. Also electrolyte was the use of sea water as electrolyte solutions instead of ionic controlled solutions. The optimum analytical conditions for the cyclic and stripping parameters were determined using GE. The results approached the microgram working ranges of SW(ug/L) and CV(ug/L) Ag, and the optimum conditions were applied to frog's tissue and the food samples.

Diagnosis with an ex-vivo gold sensor was done using a modified fluorine-doping sensor, and cyclic voltammetry (CV) redox potentials of 0.4 V anodic and -0.2 V cathodic were obtained. Both peak currents were optimized using square-wave (SW) stripping voltammetry, and an analytical working range of 10-80 ug/L SW was attained. The precision of the 10-mg/L Au was 0.765 (n=8) RSD under the optimum conditions, and the analytical detection limit approached 0.006 ug/L (S/N=3) with only a 60 sec accumulation time. The developed method was used to examine the mouse droppings for medicinal diagnosis.

The developed method was discovered to be fitting in quality control in the food, pharmaceutical and other manufacturing sectors.

국제해사기구(IMO)에서는 원조를 필요로 하는 선박에 선박 피난처를 제공하도록 결의서 Res. A949(23)로 채택하였고, ‘도움이 필요 로 하는 선박’에 대한 피난처 제공에 따른 안내서를 제시하였다. 본 연구는 IMO의 피난처 제공에 따른 가이드 라인과 알래스카의 피난처 제공 방안(절차)에 대한 비교를 통하여 국재 피난처 마련을 위한 고려요소를 추출하는 것을 목적으로 하고 있다.

To minimize secondary damages from marine environment pollution resulting from marine accidents, International Maritime Organization(IMO) adopted “Guidelines on Places of Refuge(POR) for ships in need of assistance” as Resolution A.949(23) in it is 23rd General Assembly in 2003 and recommends Parties to the Organization designate PoR. This resolution suggests that they establish a “Decision-Making process” so as to provide reasonable PoR when disabled ships request use of PoR. Korea has not been performed introduce a PoR system in the country. Therefore, there is no decision-making process to deal with ships which need PoR. When Korea implements the PoR system in the future, the nation should establish a Decision-Making process to provide reasonable PoR in case ships in need of assistance request for PoR. In order to present what should be considered in the process of establishing a Decision-Making process for PoR in Korea in the future, in this study presents matters which should be considered in the process of founding PoR Decision-Making processes. When Korea tries to conduct POR system so that other countries’ PoR Decision-Making process and the relating process of IMO and REMPEC (Regional Marine Pollution Emergency Response Centre for the Mediterranean Sea) were investigated and analyzed. In addition, in times of marine accident in Korea’s sea areas, Korea’s action manuals for marine accident which regulates management for an accident is analyzed and articles will be presented to be taken into account during establishing final PoR Decision-Making process.

IMO에서는 2003년 12월 제23차 총회에서 ‘Guidelines on places of refuge for ships in need of assistance’를 총회 결의서 Res. A.949(23)으로 채택하여, IMO 협약국에 선박 피난처를 지정할 것을 권고하고 있다. 선박 피난처란 ‘원조를 필요로 하는 선박이 선박을 정상 상태로 복원하고 항해의 위험을 줄이고 인명이나 환경을 보호하기 위한 장소’라고 IMO에서는 정의하고 있다. 선박 피난처를 지정·운영하는 것은 자국의 연안 환경을 보호하기 위한 국가 정책과 밀접한 관련이 있어, 국가적으로 아주 예민한 문제이다. 그러나 선박 피난처를 지정·운 영하는 것은 해양 사고로 인한 2차적 피해의 확산을 방지하여, 환경적·재산적 손실을 최소화 할 수 있다. 현재 외국의 여러 국가에서는 선박 피난처를 지정·운영하고 있다. 그러나 국가별로 선박 피난처 입지 선정 방법·기준이 달랐으며 표준화된 선박 피난처 입지 선정 모델은 없었 다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 향후 국내 선박 피난처 제도의 도입 시 합리적이고 효율적인 선박 피난처 입지를 선정하기 위하여, 외국의 선박 피 난처 입지 선정 시 고려되었던 요소들을 검토·분석 하였으며, 이러한 고려 요소들의 정성적인 자료를 정량적인 수치로 표현하여 객관적인 지 표에 따른 선박 피난처 입지 지정 모델을 제시하고자 한다. 선박 피난처 입지 지정 모델은 선박 해양 개연성 평가, 입지 분석, 지원 시설의 접 근성 평가 과정을 통하여 최종 선박 피난처 입지를 제시하였다.

In order to measure the minute amount of Cu(II) in our environment, cyclic voltammetry (CV) and square-wave stripping voltammetry (SWSV) were performed for a trace copper assay using bismuth immobilized on a carbon nanotube paste electrode. An analytical working range of 30 to 240 μg/L Cu(II) was obtained for CV and SWSV. The SWSV precision obtained was 0.47 % (n = 15) RSD in 30.0 μg/L Cu(II). The detection limit obtained was 3.1 ng/L Cu(II) using SWSV, while the CV yielded the nano-range detection limit through the pre-concentration step. By using this research method, Cu(II) value could be determined in the urine of human sample and in the brain of fish sample. This research can be effectively applied to other cases of measuring minute amount of Cu(II) in living organisms.

Voltammetric diagnostics of pesticide thiram was studied in plant leafs in vivo fluid with DNA immobilized on a carbon nanotube electrode (DCE). Sensor properties of carbon nanotube (CE) and DNA immobilized nanotube were compared. DCE was more effective than CE in target detecting. The parameters such as pH strength, stripping accumulation, amplitude, and increment potential were examined to find the optimum condition for detection of pesticide thiram in a sesame leaf. The optimized conditions were as follows 550 Hz frequency, 0.15 V amplitude, 0.005 V increment potential, -1.2 V initial potential, 4.78 pH, 500 sec accumulation time. Under optimum condition, the detection limit of thiram was attained at 0.01ng/L.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of wormwood (Artemisia sp.) addition on the growth performance, nutrients utilization and abdominal fat deposition of broiler chickens. Two hundred twenty five and two-day old Arboracre strain male commercial broiler chicks were distributed to 5 treatments with wormwood supplementation levels; C(0%), T₁ (1%), T₂ (3%), T₃ (5%), and T₄ (10%) and with 3 replications each with 5 birds for five weeks. Body weight gain during the experiment was improved in T₁ (1723.0g) compared with that of T₃ (1557.7g) and T₄ (1450.7g) (P＜0.05). Feed intake was significantly (P＜0.05) increased as the levels of wormwood addition increased (C: 2653.8g, T₁: 2852.0, T₂: 2900.3, T₃: 2900.7g, T₄: 2954.7g). Feed conversion rate (feed/gain) was significantly (P＜0.05) increased as the levels of wormwood addition increased (C: 1.55, T₁: 1.66, T₂: 1.70, T₃: 1.86, T₄: 2.04). The days reaching to 2.0㎏ of body weight were expected to be 43.2 days in control, whereas those of group T₁ were reduced to 42.6 days by 0.6 day from control. Nutrient utilization and abdominal fat deposition in the experiment were significantly decreased (P＜0.05) and small intestine contents in the broilers was significantly increased (P＜0.05) as the levels of wormwood addition increased. Therefore, although there was no significant improvement for the performance of broiler chickens with the dietary supplementation of wormwood meal, less than 1% addition of wormwood to broiler diets might have beneficial for human health by reducing the abdominal fat deposition of the broiler chickens.

The three electrode system was used to detect the pesticide fenitrothion (C9H12NO5PS. MW=277.24) using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and square wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV). The working electrode was mercury immobilized on a carbon nanotube paste electrode (Hg-CNTPE). At the optimized condition, the limit of detection (LoD) was 0.6 ppt (2.16×10 -12 M), and the relative standard deviation was 0.035% (n=15). And there is more sensitive in detecting fenitrothion than common type carbon nanotube paste electrode. When it was implanted into the brain of live fish (carp), the existence of fenitrothion was measured without any destruction or damage of tissue.

This study was carried out to investigate inhibitory effect of extracts from Artemisia capillaris Thumb. on maltase, sucrase, α-amylase, nonspecific α-glucosidase, and postprandial hyperglycemia. Methanol extract and organic solvent (n-hexane, ethyl acetate, butanol, aqueous) fractions from the medicinal herb were determined for the inhibitory activities against maltase, sucrase and α-amylase. The methanol extract from A. capillaris strongly inhibited maltase (57%) and α-glucosidase (72%) at the concentration of 100 μg/ml. Among the four fractions (n-hexane, ethyl acetate, butanol, aqueous) examined, the butanol fraction from A. capillaris showed potent inhibitory effects on maltase (73%), sucrase (33%), and α-amylase (75%) at the concentration of 100 μg/ml. The butanol fraction from Artemisia capillaris also exhibited significant reductions (20%) of blood glucose elevation in mice loaded with maltose. These results suggest that the extract from Artemisia capillaris can be used as a new nutraceutical for inhibition on postprandial hyperglycemia
