  • These experiments were performed to investigate the effect of saline, monosodium L-glutamate(MSG), MSG-phenylalanine, and/or phenylalanine on TH-immunoreactivity in arcuate nucleus of hypothalamus and hind limb area of cerebral cortex in rats using the immunohistochemical methods. The result were as follows: 1. TH-immunoreactive neurons in hind limb area of cerebral cortex and arcuate nucleus of hypothalamus were decreased in MSG treated group compared to the saline treated group and also lesions in arcuate nucleus and median eminence of hypothalamus were increased with MSG treatment 2. TH-immunoreactive neurons in median eminence and arcuate nucleus were increased in phenylalanine treated group compared to the saline treated group and also neurons were more increased in lamina V of hind limb area of cerebral cortex with phenylalanine treatment. 3. TH-immunoreactive neurons in median eminence and arcuate nucleus were decreased in MSG-phenylalanine treated group compared to the phenylalanine treated group and increased compared to the MSG treated group. In lamina V of hind limb area of cerebral cortex, TH-immunoreactive neurons were more decreased in MSG-phenylalanine treated group than that of the phenylalanine treated group, and more increased than that of MSG treated group. These experiments indicated that TH-immunoreactive neurons in hypothalamus and cerebral cortex were increased due to the activation of phenylalanine and decreased by suppressing activation of phenylalanine through MSG treatment.

  • 3-dimensional(3-D) simulations of ideal double-gate bulk FinFET were performed extensively and the electrical characteristics. were analyzed. In 3-D device simulation, we changed gate length($L_g$), height($H_g$), and channel doping concentration($N_b$) to see the behaviors of the threshold voltage($V_{th}$), DIBL(drain induced barrier lowering), and SS(subthreshold swing) with source/drain junction depth($X_{jSDE}$). When the $H_g$ is changed from 30 nm to 45nm, the variation gives a little change in $V_{th}$(less than 20 mV). The DIBL and SS were degraded rapidly as the $X_{jSDE}$ is deeper than $H_g$ at low fin body doping($1{\times}10^{16}cm^{-3}{\sim}1{\times}10^{17}cm^{-3}$). By adopting local doping at ${\sim}10nm$ under the $H_g$, the degradation could be suppressed significantly. The local doping also alleviated $V_{th}$ lowering by the shallower $X_{jSDE}\;than\;H_g$ at low fin body doping.

  • [ ${\pi}-conjugated$ ] organic and polymeric semiconductors are receiving considerable attention because of their suitability as an active layer for electronic devices. An organic inverter with a full swing and a high gain can be obtained through the good qualities of the transfer characteristics of organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs); for example, a low leakage current, a threshold voltage ($V_{th}$) close to 0 V, and a low sub-threshold swing. One of the most critical problems with traditional organic inverters is the high operating voltage, which is often greater than 20 V. The high operating voltage may result in not only high power consumption but also device instabilities such as hysteresis and a shift of $V_{th}$ during operation. In this paper, low-voltage and little-hysteresis pentacene OTFTs and inverters in conjunction with PEALD $Al_{2}O_{3}\;and\;ZrO_{2}$ as the gate dielectrics are demonstrated and the relationships between the transfer characteristics of OTFT and the voltage transfer characteristics (VTCs) of inverter are investigated.

  • A new voltage-scaled compensation pixel which employs 3 p-type poly-Si TFTs and 2 capacitors without additional control line has been proposed and verified. The proposed pixel does not employ the $V_{TH}$ memorizing and cancellation, but scales down the inevitable $V_{TH}$ variation of poly-Si TFT. Also the troublesome narrow input range of $V_{DATA}$ is increased and the $V_{DD}$ supply voltage drop is suppressed. In our experimental results, the OLED current error is successfully compensated by easily controlling the proposed voltage scaling effects.

  • By introducing an organic interlayer on the Parylene C dielectric surface, the electrical device performances and the operating stabilities of organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) were improved. To achieve this goal, hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) and octadecyltrichlorosilane (ODTS), as the organic interlayer materials, were used to control the surface energy of the Parylene C dielectrics. For the bare case used with the pristine Parylene C dielectrics, the field-effect mobility (μFET) and threshold voltage (Vth) of dinaphtho[2,3-b:2',3'-f ]thieno[3,2-b]- thiophene (DNTT) FET devices were measured at 0.12 cm2V-1s-1 and - 5.23 V, respectively. On the other hand, the OFET devices with HMDS- and ODTS-modified cases showed the improved μFET values of 0.32 and 0.34 cm2V-1s-1, respectively. More important point is that the μFET and Vth of the DNTT FET device with the ODTS-modified Parylene C dielectric presented the smallest changes during a repeated measurement of 1000 times, implying that it has the most stable operating stability. The results could be meaned that the organic interlayer, especially ODTS, effectively covers the Parylene C dielectric surface with alkyl chains and reduces the charge trapping at the interface region between active layer and dielectric, thereby improving the electrical operating stability.

  • In this paper, we propose a new small swing domino logic for low-power consumption. To reduce the power consumption, both the precharge node and the output node swing the range from 0 to $V_{REF}$- $V_{THN}$, where $V_{REF}$=VDD-n $V_{THN}$ (n=1, 2, and 3). This can be done by adding the inverter structure on domino logic that allows a full swing or a small swing on its input terminal without leakage current. Compared to previous works, the proposed structure can save the power consumption of more than 30% for n=0, 1, 2, and 3 in the equation of $V_{REF}$=VDD-n $V_{THN}$. A multiplier applying the proposed domino logic has been designed and fabricated using a 0.35-${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ n-well CMOS process under 3.3-V supply voltage. Compared with other previous works, it shows a 30% power reduction and a better feature in power-delay product.lay product.

  • Sprague-Dawley male rats (150 g) were chronically treated with 5 v/v % ethanol admixed with nutritionally complete liquid diet and fed ad libitum for 3 weeks. One half of each group was exposed to cold stress at 4 ^{\circ}C either for 24 h (for determination of mRNA by in situ hybridization) or for 48 h (for determination of enzyme activity). Chronic ethanol treatment (ethanol) did not affect tyrosine hydroxylase(TH) mRNA level in locus coeruleus(LC) of brain and adrenal medulla(AM) compared to controls. Cold stress showed strong increase of TH mRNA level in LC and AM compared to controls. Pretreated ethanol reduced the increased TH mRNA level by cold stress in LC and AM. Ethanol did not affect TH activity in LC and adenal glands(adrenals). Cold stress increased TH activity in LC but not in adrenals. Pretreated ethanol did not reduce the increased TH activity by cold stress in LC but this result was not shown in adrenals. Phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase(PNMT) activity in $C_{1}$$C_{2}$ and adrenals increased only in ethanol treated group. THese results suggest that ethanol does not affect TH mRNA level and activity in LC and adrenals, but increases PNMT activity in $C_{1}$$C_{2}$ and adrenals in normal rat. It is also suggested that pretreated ethanol reduces the magnitude of cold stress response, that is induction of TH mRNA in LC and AM, and does not reduce the protein activation of TH that is also cold stress response in LC.
