Undoped and Co$^{2+}$ $\alpha$-Ga$_2$S$_3$ thin films were grown by spray pyrolysis method. It has been found that these thin films have a monoclinic structure and direct optical energy gap and indirect were located to 3.477eV and 3.123 eV at 10K respectively. In the photoluminescence due to a D0A(donor-acceptor) pair recombination were observed at 502 nm and 671 nm for the $\alpha$-Ga$_2$S$_3$ thin film, where is excited by the 325 nm-line of He-Cd laser. These peaks are identified to be corresponding to the electron transition between the energy levels of Co$^{2+}$ ion sited a the T$_{d}$ symmetry point in the $\alpha$-Ga$_2$S$_3$;Co$^{2+}$ thin film. film.

This paper proposes a balance-swap method for the dynamic economic load dispatch problem. Based on the premise that all generators shall be operated at valve-points, the proposed algorithm initially sets the maximum generation power at $P_i{\leftarrow}P_i^{max}$. As for generator i with $_{max}c_i$, which is the maximum operating cost $c_i=\frac{F(P_i)-F(P_{iv_k})}{(P_i-P_{iv_k})}$ produced when the generation power of each generator is reduced to the valve-point $v_k$, the algorithm reduces i's generation power down to $P_{iv_k}$, the valve-point operating cost. When ${\Sigma}P_i-P_d$ > 0, it reduces the generation power of a generator with $_{max}c_i$ of $c_i=F(P_i)-F(P_i-1)$ to $P_i{\leftarrow}P_i-1$ so as to restore the equilibrium ${\Sigma}P_i=P_d$. The algorithm subsequently optimizes by employing an adult-step method in which power in the range of $_{min}\{_{max}(P_i-P_i^{min}),\;_{max}(P_i^{max}-P_i)\}$>${\alpha}{\geq}10$ is reduced by 10; a baby step method in which power in the range of 10>${\alpha}{\geq}1$ is reduced by 1; and a swap method for $_{max}[F(P_i)-F(P_i-{\alpha})]$>$_{min}[F(P_j+{\alpha})-F(P_j)]$, $i{\neq}j$ of $P_i=P_i{\pm}{\alpha}$, in which power is swapped to $P_i=P_i-{\alpha}$, $P_j=P_j+{\alpha}$. It finally executes minute swap process for ${\alpha}=\text{0.1, 0.01, 0.001, 0.0001}$. When applied to various experimental cases of the dynamic economic load dispatch problems, the proposed algorithm has proved to maximize economic benefits by significantly reducing the optimal operating cost of the extant Heuristic algorithm.

Xenopus oocyte is one of the widely used heterologous expression systems of ion channels for electrophysiological studies. Here we describe a new method in which cRNA produced by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and in vitro transcription is injected to express ion channels in oocytes. This method enables us (1) to eliminate all or a part of the untranslated region of the cDNA and to replace it with a known sequence which helps increase the expression level in oocytes, and (2) to use the PCR product for in vitro transcription without subcloning. Using this method, the expression level of one of the neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) $\alpha$$_{6}$ subtype in oocytes was systematically increased by more than 100-fold, which was confirmed both by the $\alpha$-Bungarotoxin ($\alpha$,/TEX>Bgt) binding assay and the current measurement.t.

Maize starches with different amylose content were repeated autoclaving-cooling cycles up to 4 times, and the yield of resistant starch (RS) from autoclaved maize starches was investigated by enzymatic-gravimetric method and ${\alpha}-amylase$ treatment. With increasing amylose content in starch and the number of autoclaving-cooling cycles, RS yield was also increased, regardless of isolation method. Enzymatic-gravimetric method severely hydrolyzed amorphous region of autoclaved maize starches. Crystalline region was obtained more effectively by enzymatic-gravimetric method than by ${\alpha}-amylase$ treatment.

Dynamic behaviors are analyzed for a flexble spinning disk with angular acceleration, considering geometric nonlinearity. Based upon the Kirchhoff plate theory and the von Karman strain theory, the nonlinear governing equations are derived which are coupled equations with the in-plane and out-of-planedisplacements. The governing equations are discretized by using the Galerkin approximation. With the discretized nonlinear equations, the time responses are computed by using the generalized-$\alpha$ method and the Newton-Raphson method. The analysis shows that the existence of angular acceleration increases the displacements of the spinning disk and makes the disk unstable.

The electronic state of ZnO doped with Al, Ga and In, which belong to III family elements in periodic table, was calculated using the density functional theory. In this study, the program used for the calculation on theoretical structures of ZnO and doped ZnO was Vienna Ab-initio Simulation Package (VASP), which is a sort of pseudo potential method. The detail of electronic structure was obtained by the describe variational $X{\alpha}(DV-X{\alpha})$(DV-Xa) method, which is a sort of molecular orbital full potential method. The optimized crystal structures obtained by calculations were compared to the measured structure. The density of state and energy levels of dopant elements was shown and discussed in association with properties.

$\alpha$-LiFe $O_2$ powders have been prepared by a sol-gel method. The crystallographic and magnetic properties were characterized with a x-ray diffractometry, Mossbauer spectroscopy, and vibrating Samples magnetometry. The ${\gamma}$-LiFe $O_2$+LiFe$_{5}$ $O_{8}$ phase is observed in the Samples annealed at $600^{\circ}C$ for 3h in air and $\alpha$-LiFe $O_2$ phase is observed in the Samples annealed at $600^{\circ}C$ for 3 h in $H_2$(5％)/Ar(Bal.) gas atmosphere. The crystal structure of $\alpha$-LiFe $O_2$ is found to be cubic with a lattice a=4.193$\pm$0.0005 $\AA$. The Neel temperature of $\alpha$-LiFe $O_2$ is found to be 130$\pm$3 K.

$\alpha$-D-mannosyl fullerene[$C_{60}$]-functionalized gold nanoparticle films were selfassembled using the layer-by-layer method on the reactive of glass slides functionlized with 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane. The functionalized glass slides were alternately soaked in the solutions containing $\alpha$-D-mannosyl fullerene[$C_{60}$] and 4-aminothiophenoxide/hexanethiolate-protected gold nanoparticles. $\alpha$-D-mannosyl fullerene[$C_{60}$]-functionalized gold nanoparticle films have grown up to 5 layers depending on the immersion time. The self-assembled nanoparticle films were characterized using UV-vis spectroscopy showed that the surface plasmon band of gold at 530 nm gradually became more evident as successive layers were added to the films.

The purpose of study is development of a fuzzy controller which independent of a computer and its software for fuzzy control of servo system. This paper describes a method of approximate reasoning for fuzzy control of servo system, based on decomposition of $\alpha$-level fuzzy sets, It is propose that fuzzy logic algorithm is a body from fuzzy inference to defuzzificaion in cases where the output variable u directly is generated PWM. The effectiveness of quantified $\alpha$-levels on input/output characteristics of fuzzy controller and output response of DC servo system is investigated. It is concluded that $\alpha$-cut 4 levels give a sufficient result for fuzzy control performance of DC servo system. The experimental results shows that the proposed hardware method is effective for practical applications of DC servo system.

This method using the synthesis substrate of $5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-{\alpha}-galactoside\;(X-{\alpha}-Gal)$ was examined for the differential enumeration of Bifidobacteria and lactic acid-producing bacteria. Bifidobacteria possess a high level of ${\alpha}-galactosidase$ activity. Bifidobacterium longum KCTC 3215 exhibited the highest ${\alpha}-galactosidase$ specific activity (8.57 units/mg protein). Determination of ${\alpha}-galactosidase$ activity using the PNPG procedure showed that Lactobacillus, Streptococcus, Pediococcus, and Leuconostoc strain had lower ${\alpha}-galactosidase$ activity as compared to Bifidobacteria. The $X-{\alpha}-Gal$ based medium is useful to identify Bifidobacteria among lactic acid-producing bacteria since the enzyme action of ${\alpha}-galactosidase$ spills $X-{\alpha}-Gal$ substrate and releases indol which impacts a blue color to Bifidobacterial colonies on agar plates. All strains of Bifidobacteria appeared as blue colonies on MRS agar medium supplemented with $100\;{\mu}M\;X-{\alpha}-Gal$ while colonies of other lactic acid-producing bacteria appeared white or light blue.
