$Tb_3Al_5O_{12}:Ce$ (TAG:Ce) thin films were successfully deposited by a pulsed laser ablation method on a quartz substrate, and low-temperature post-annealing effects on luminescent properties were investigated in detail. TAG:Ce thin films were analyzed by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The as-deposited films were amorphous, and post-annealing above $700^{\circ}C$ was required for crystallization. The post-annealed TAG:Ce thin films showed strong and broad emission bands around 542 nm and excitations at 451 nm, which all corresponded to transitions between the 4f ground level to the $5d^1$ excited levels of Ce ion.

Improvement of the color rendering index (CRI) and luminance of a white alternate current powder electroluminescent (ACPEL) device has been attempted using ZnS:Cu,Cl, $Tb_3Al_5O_{12}$:Ce (TAG:Ce), and CaS:Eu phosphors with a layered structure. The device with TAG:Ce and ZnS:Cu,Cl phosphors showed a CRI of 75, with a luminance increase of about 30% depending on the thickness of the TAG:Ce. Further CRI improvement was attempted using CaS:Eu. When they were separately screen-printed, the CRI was increased up to 89 with no decrease in luminance.

SAW Device는 필터이외에도 각종 물리 센서나 화학센서 혹은 ID Tag로 다양한 분야로 활용범위가 확대됨에 따라 다양한 SAW Device를 사용하기 위한 플랫폼이 요구된다. 현재 SAW ID나 Sensor는 많은 발전을 해왔지 만 SAW Sensor를 활용 할 수 있는 플랫폼의 발전은 미흡하기 때문에 본 논문에서는 ID Tag 나 Sensor를 비롯한 여러 SAW Sensor를 보다 편리 하게 활용할 수 있는 플랫폼에 대하여 연구 하였다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 플랫폼은 SAW Device를 인식 할 수 있는 RF 모듈과 SAW Device의 응답신호를 처리 할 수 있도록 고성능 프로세서를 이용한 매인 모듈로 구성하였다. 매인 모듈에서는 고성능 프로세서를 이용함으로서 GUI 환경 기반의 플랫폼을 구현하여 사용자들이 SAW Device에서 수집된 정보를 보다 편리하고 알아보기 쉽게 사용할 수 있도록 설계하였다. 본 논문에서 사용한 플랫폼은 ARM9 코어의 프로세서를 기반의 플랫폼으로 Windows Embedded CE 6.0 OS를 사용하여 사용자에게 더욱 편리한 인터페이스를 제공할 수 있도록 하고, 개발자들에게는 센서를 활용한 다양한 어플리케이션을 보다 쉽게 적용할 수 있도록 하였다.

End-Labeled Free-Solution Electrophoresis (ELFSE) is a new technique that is a promising bioconjugate method for DNA sequencing (or separation) and genotyping by both capillary and microfluidic device electrophoresis. Because ELFSE enables high-resolution electrophoretic separation in aqueous buffer alone (i.e., without a polymer matrix), it eliminates the need to load viscous polymer networks into electrophoresis microchannels. To achieve microchannel DNA separations with high performance, ELFSE requires monodisperse perturbing entities (i.e., drag-tags), which create a large amount of frictional drag when pulled behind DNA during free-solution electrophoresis, and which have other properties suitable for microchannel electrophoresis. In this article, the theoretical concepts of ELFSE and the required characteristics of the drag-tag molecules for the ultimate performance of ELFSE are reviewed. Additionally, the merits and limitations of current drag-tags are also discussed in the context of recent experimental data of ELFSE separation (or sequencing).

A chromium-free Ce-based conversion coating formed by immersion in a solution containing cerium chloride and nitric acid on AZ31 magnesium alloy has been studied. The effects of acid pickling on the morphology and the corrosion resistance of the cerium conversion coating were investigated. The corrosion resistance of the conversion coating prepared on AZ31 Mg alloy after organic acid pickling was better than that of inorganic acid pickling. The morphology of the conversion-coated layer was observed using optical microscope and SEM. Results show that the conversion coatings are relatively uniform and continuous, with thickness 1.0 to $1.1{\mu}m$. The main elements of the conversion coating of AZ31 Mg alloy are Mg, O, Al, Ce and Zn by EDS analysis. The electrochemical polarization results showed that the Ce-based conversion coating could reduce the corrosion activity of the AZ31 Mg alloy substrates in the presence of chloride ions.

Based on two dimensional model partition method proposed in Part 1, Part 2 provides detailed model specification and implementation. To mathematically delineate a model's behaviors and interactions among them, we extend the DEVS (Discrete Event Systems Specification) formalism and newly propose CE-DEVS (Combat Entity-DEVS) for an upper abstraction sub-model of a combat entity model. The proposed CE-DEVS additionally define two sets and one function to reflect essential semantics for the model's behaviors explicitly. These definitions enable us to understand and represent the model's behaviors easily since they eliminate differences of meaning between real-world expressions and model specifications. For model implementation, upper abstraction sub-models are implemented with DEVSim++, while the lower sub-models are realized using the C++ language. With the use of overall modeling techniques proposed in Part 1 and 2, we can conduct constructive simulation and assess factors about combat logics as well as battle field functions of the next-generation combat entity, minimizing additional modeling efforts. From the anti-torpedo warfare experiment, we can gain interesting experimental results regarding engagement situations employing developing weapons and their tactics. Finally, we expect that this work will serve an immediate application for various engagement warfare.

The heat-inducible expression vectors for Corynebacterium glutamicum and C. ammoniagenes were constructed by using the ${\lambda}O_L1$ and the cryptic promoters, CJ1 and CJ4 that express genes constitutively in C. ammoniagenes. Although the promoters were isolated from C. ammoniagenes, CJ1 and CJ4 were also active in C. glutamicum. To construct vectors, the $O_L1$ from the ${\lambda}P_L$ promoter was isolated and fused to the CJ1 and CJ4 promoters by recombinant PCR. The resulting artificial promoters, CJ1O and CJ4O, which have one ${\lambda}O_L1$, and CJ1OX2, which has two successive ${\lambda}O_L1$, were fused to the green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene followed by subcloning into pCES208. The expression of GFP in the corynebacteria harboring the vectors was regulated successfully by the temperature-sensitive cI857 repressor. Among them, C. ammoniagenes harboring plasmid pCJ1OX2G containing GFP fused to CJ1OX2 showed more GFP than the other ones and the expression was tightly regulated by the repressor. To construct the generally applicable expression vector using the plasmid pCJ1OX2G, the His-tag, enterokinase (EK) moiety, and the MCS were inserted in front of the GFP gene. Using the vector, the expression of pyrR from C. glutamicum was tried by temperature shift-up. The results indicated that the constructed vectors (pCeHEMG) can be successfully used in the expression and regulation of foreign genes in corynebacteria.
