This study is mainly focused on micellar effect of cetylpyridinium chloride(CPyCl) solution including alkylbenzimidazole(R-BI) on dephosphorylation of diphenyl-4-nitrophenylphosphinate(DPNPIN) in carbonate buffer(pH 10.7). The reactions of DPNPIN with R-BI$^{\ominus}$ are strongly catalyzed by the micelles of CPyCl. Dephosphorylation of DPNPIN is accelerated by BI$^{\ominus}$ ion in $10^{-2}M$ carbonate buffer(pH 10.7) of $4{\times}10^{-3}M$ CPyCl solution up to 100 times as compared with the reaction in carbonate buffer by no BI solution of $4{\times}10^{-3}M$ CPyCl. The value of pseudo first order rate constant($k^m_{BI}$) of the reaction in CPyCl solution reached a maximum rate constant increasing micelle concentration. Such rate maxima are typical of micellar catalyzed bimolecular reactions. The reaction mediated by R-BI$^{\ominus}$ in micellar solutions are obviously slower than those by BI$^{\ominus}$, and the reaction rate were decreased with increase of lengths of alkyl groups. It seems due to steric effect of alkyl groups of R-BI$^{\ominus}$ in Stern layer of micellar solution. The surfactant reagent, cetylpyridinium chloride(CPyCl), strongly catalyzes the reaction of diphenyl-4-nitrophenylphosphinate(DPNPIN) with alkylbenzimidazole (R-BI) and its anion(R-BI$^{\ominus}$) in carbonate buffer(pH 10.7). For example, $4{\times}10^{-3}M$ CPyCl in $1{\times}10^{-4}M$ BI solution increase the rate constant ($k_{\Psi}=1.0{\times}10^{-2}sec^{-1}$) of the dephosphorylation by a factor ca.14, when compared with reaction ($k_{\Psi}=7.3{\times}10^{-4}sec^{-1}$) in $1{\times}10^{-4}M$ BI solution(without CPyCl). And no CPyCl solution, in $1{\times}10^{-4}M$ BI solution increase the rate constant ($k_{\Psi}=7.3{\times}10^{-4}sec^{-1}$) of the dephosphorylation by a factor ca.36, when compared with reaction ($k_{\Psi}=2.0{\times}10^{-5}sec^{-1}$) in water solution(without BI). This predicts that the reactivities of R-BI$^{\ominus}$ in the micellar pseudophase are much smaller than that of BI$^{\ominus}$. Due to the hydrophobicity and steric effect of alkyl group substituents, these groups would penetrate into the core of the micelle for stabilization by van der Waals interaction with long alkyl groups of CPyCl.

ISO/IEC 15938-1(MPEG-7 Systems)에서는 멀티미디어 컨텐츠에 대한 메타데이터의 효율적인 전송과 저장을 위한 이진 표현 방법인 BiM(binary format for MPEC-7)을 제공한다. 멀티미디어 컨텐츠를 기술(description)하는 메타데이터의 텍스트 표현은 대체로 많은 저장 용량과 전송 리소스를 요구하기 때문에 효율적인 압축을 위해서는 이진 형식으로의 변환이 요구된다. 또한 텍스트 형식은 방송 환경과 같은 스트리밍 전송에는 적절하지 못한 단점이 있다. BiM은 컨텐츠에 대한 기술을 전체 또는 2개 이상의 AU(access units) 단위로 분할하며 부호화하는 방법을 지원함으로써 스트리밍 전송을 가능하게 한다. 이러한 구조는 이진 포맷 형태로 표현되는 헤더를 가지는 패킷 기반 형태이며, 융통성이 있는 전송 순서를 제공한다. 또한, 비트 스트림의 전체를 해석(parsing)하지 않고 랜덤 엑세스 기능을 제공하는 장점이 있다. BiM이 지닌 이러한 장점들로 인하여 현재 방송산업계를 중심으로 메타데이터를 방송에 활용하기 위한 기술을 표준화하는 국제 민간 표준화 기구인 TV-Anytime 포럼에서는 방송 컨텐츠에 대한 메타데이터의 압축에 관한 요구사항을 만족하는 하나의 방법으로 BiM을 고려하고 있다 본 논문에서는 이러한 MPEG-7 시스템의 BiM을 소개하고, 이를 이용하여 TV-Anytime 포럼의 메타데이터를 이진 포맷으로 부호화한 실험과 그 결과를 기술한다.

The interfacial reaction between ultra-small 58Bi-42Sn solder and Au/Ni/Ti under bump metallurgy (UBM) for ultra-fine flip chip application was investigated. The ultra-small 58Bi-42Sn solder bump, about $46{\mu}m$ in diameter, was fabricated by using the lift-off method and reflowed using the rapid thermal annealing (RTA) system. The intermetallic compounds were characterized using a secondary electron microscopy (SEM), an energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and an x-ray diffractometer (XRD). The faceted and polygonal intermetallic compounds were found in the Bi-Sn solder bumps on $Au(0.1{\mu}m)/Ni/Ti$ UBM and they were indentified as $(Au_xBi_yNi_{1-x-y})Sn_2$ Phase. The intermetallic compounds grown from the $Au(0.1{\mu}m)/Ni/Ti$ UBMinterface were dispersed in the solder bump.

An M-ary bi-orthogonal modulation scheme for ultra-wideband (UWB) systems capable of narrowband interference (NBI) suppression is proposed in this letter. We utilize a set of bi-orthogonal pulse series to achieve NBI suppression. Through analysis and simulation, we verify that the proposed scheme can suppress NBIs effectively.

Peroxidase activity of cytochrome P-450 was examined using N, N-dimethylaniline (NDA) as a substrate and cumene hydroperoxide (CHP) as an oxidant. The initial rates of the N-demethylation for varied concentrations of NDA (0.05-0.5 mM) by P-450 at different fixed concentrations of CHP (0.02-0.2 mM) were determined. The results suggest that P-450 proceeds its peroxidative reaction by the rapid equilibrium random bi bi mechanism to form a ternary complex with substrate and oxidant as an active intermediate.

EagBI is a type II restriction endonuclease from Enterobacter agglomerans strain CBNU45 isolated from soil. EagBI was partially purified by DEAE-cellulose, phosphocellulose P11 and hydroxylapatite column chromatography. EagBI recognizes and cleaves the sequence 5'-CGAT${\downarrow}$CG-3' and generates 2-base 3'-protruding cohesive ends. The optimal reaction conditions of EagBI are 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.8), 6-10 mM $MgCl_2$, at 37 ${\circ}C$. The enzyme is maximally active in the absence of NaCl, able to cleave both $dam^-$ and $dam^+$ DNAs, and sensitive to heat treatment (at 65 ${\circ}C$ for 10 min). Therefore, although EagBI is an isoschizomer of PvuI, it is more useful than PvuI in respect of the NaCl requirement and heat-stability.

This study is mainly focused on micellar effect of cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide(CTABr) solution including alkylbenzimidazole(R-BI) on dephosphorylation of isopropyl-4-nitrophenylphosphinate(IPNPIN) in carbonate buffer(pH 10.7). The reactions of IPNPIN with R-$BI^{\ominus}$ are strongly catalyzed by the micelles of CTABr. Dephosphorylation of IPNPIN is accelerated by $BI^{\ominus}$ ion in $10^{-2}$ M carbonate buffer(pH 10.7) of $4{\times}10^{-3}$ M CTABr solution up to 89 times as compared with the reaction in carbonate buffer by no benzimidazole(BI) solution of $4{\times}10^{-3}$ M CTABr. The value of pseudo first order rate constant($k_{\Psi}$) of the reaction in CTABr solution reached a maximum rate constant increasing micelle concentration. Such rate maxima are typical of micellar catalyzed bimolecular reactions. The reaction mediated by R-$BI^{\ominus}$ in micellar solutions are obviously slower than those by $BI^{\ominus}$, and the reaction rate were decreased with increase of lengths of alkyl groups. It seems due to steric effect of alkyl groups of R-$BI^{\ominus}$ in Stern layer of micellar solution. The surfactant reagent, CTABr, strongly catalyzes the reaction of IPNPIN with R-BI and its anion(R-$BI^{\ominus}$) in carbonate buffer(pH 10.7). For example, $4{\times}10^{-3}$ M CTABr in $1{\times}10^{-4}$ M BI solution increase the rate constant($k_{\Psi}=98.5{\times}10^{-3}\;sec^{-1}$) of the dephosphorylation by a factor ca.25, when compared with reaction($k_{\Psi}=3.9{\times}10^{-4}\;sec^{-1}$) in $1{\times}10^{-4}$ M BI solution(without CTABr). And no CTABr solution, in $1{\times}10^{-4}$ M BI solution increase the rate constant($k_{\Psi}=3.9{\times}10^{-4}\;sec^{-1}$) of the dephosphorylation by a factor ca.39, when compared with reaction ($k_{\Psi}=1.0{\times}10^{-5}\;sec^{-1}$) in water solution(without BI). This predicts that the reactivities of R-$BI^{\ominus}$ in the micellar pseudophase are much smaller than that of $BI^{\ominus}$. Due to the hydrophobicity and steric effect of alkyl group substituents, these groups would penetrate into the core of the micelle for stabilization by van der Waals interaction with long alkyl groups of CTABr.

For large scale applications of high temperature superconductor (HTS) such as transmission cables, motors and generators, long length of flexible HTS conductor is required. Currently, Bi-2223 HTS tape is capable of being fabricated in longer than 100 m length by industrial processes. In this study, we fabricated 100 m 19 filamentary Bi-2223 ($Bi_{1.8}Pb_{0.4}Sr_2Ca_2O_{10+x}$) HTS tape by PIT (Power in Tube) process. Critical current(IC) of this long length tape was measured 18.5 A at 77K, self field. Critical current of 100 m length tape was mainly resulted from the increase of inhomogeneity in oxide from the increase of inhomogeneity in oxide layer. Engineering critical current (Je=Ic/total tape cross-section area) that is important factor for practical applications and fabrication cost was measured 2.2 kA/cm2.

Planar BiVO₄ and 3 wt% Mo-doped BiVO₄ (abbreviated as Mo:BiVO₄) film were prepared by the facile spin-coating method on fluorine doped SnO₂(FTO) substrate in the same precursor solution including the Mo precursor in Mo:BiVO₄ film. After annealing at a high temperature of 450℃ for 30 min to improve crystallinity, the films exhibited the monoclinic crystalline phase and nanoporous architecture. Both films showed no remarkably discrepancy in crystalline or morphological properties. To investigate the effect of surface passivation exploring the Al₂O₃ layer, the ultra-thin Al₂O₃ layer with a thickness of approximately 2 nm was deposited on BiVO₄ film using the atomic layer deposition (ALD) method. No distinct morphological modification was observed for all prepared BiVO₄ and Mo:BiVO₄ films. Only slightly reduced nanopores were observed. Although both samples showed some reduction of light absorption in the visible wavelength after coating of Al₂O₃ layer, the Al₂O₃ coated BiVO₄ (Al₂O₃/BiVO₄) film exhibited enhanced photoelectrochemical performance in 0.5 M Na₂SO₄ solution (pH 6.5), having higher photocurrent density (0.91 mA/㎠ at 1.23 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE), briefly abbreviated as V_RHE) than BiVO₄ film (0.12 mA/㎠ at 1.23 V_RHE). Moreover, Al₂O₃ coating on the Mo:BiVO₄ film exhibited more enhanced photocurrent density (1.5 mA/㎠ at 1.23 V_RHE) than the Mo:BiVO₄ film (0.86 mA/㎠ at 1.23 V_RHE). To examine the reasons, capacitance measurement and Mott-Schottky analysis were conducted, revealing that the significant degradation of capacitance value was observed in both BiVO₄ film and Al₂O₃/Mo:BiVO₄ film, probably due to degraded capacitance by surface passivation. Furthermore, the flat-band potential (V_FB) was negatively shifted to about 200 mV while the electronic conductivities were enhanced by Al₂O₃ coating in both samples, contributing to the advancement of PEC performance by ultra-thin Al₂O₃ layer.

Pt-Bi/C catalysts supported on carbon black with various Pt/Bi ratios were synthesized by a reduction method. Chloroplatinic acid hydrate ($H_2PtCl_6{\cdot}xH_2O$) and bismuth (III) nitrate pentahydrate ($Bi(NO_3)_3{\cdot}5H_2O$) were used as precursors for Pt and Bi, respectively. Before loading metal on carbon, heat treatment and pretreatment of carbon black in an acidic solution was conducted to enhance the degree of dispersion. The physical property of the synthesized catalysts was investigated by X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The XRD pattern of untreated Pt-Bi/C catalyst showed BiPt and $Bi_2Pt$ peaks in addition to Pt peaks. These results imply that Bi atoms were incorporated into the Pt crystal lattice by Pt-Bi alloy formation. The catalytic activity for methanol oxidation was measured using cyclic voltammetry in a mixture of 0.5 M $H_2SO_4$ and 0.5 M $CH_3OH$ aqueous solution. The addition of proper amount of Bi was found to significantly improve catalytic activity for methanol oxidation. The catalytic activity for methanol oxidation was closely related to the stability between electrode and electrolyte. In order to investigate the stability of catalysts, chronoamperometry analysis was carried out in the same solution at 0.6 V.
