To improve the fermentation characteristics(such as starch-degradability, ethanol tolerance, sugar and high-temperature tolerance) of recombinant haploid yeast Saccharomyces diastaticus K114, hybridization technique was used. The hybridization partner was S. diastaticus 1177 which had good glucoamylase activity and fermentabi- lity. The best hybrid HH64 showed improved ethanol tolerance, sugar and high-temperature tolerance. Especia- lly, the starch-fermentability was significantly improved, since the hybrid produced 1.60% (w/v) ethanol from 4% (w/v) starch, while the recombinant haploid K114 produced 1.30% (w/v) ethanol. The optimum temperature and pH for the starch-fermentation by the hybrid HH64 was 30$\circ$C and 5, respectively. The hybrid yeast HH64 produced 7.5% (w/v) ethanol directly from 20% (w/v) starch.

We have studied the I-V characteristics of polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE) thin film depending on a variation of thickness. Polymer PTFE buffer layer was made using thermal evaporation technique. The device was made in the structure of ITO/PTFE/Al. We have observed the NDR(negative differential resistance) behavior between 2.5V and 5V. There are some reports on this NDR behavior in the polymer thin film[1]. We have studied the NDR behavior depending on a variation thickness. As the film thickness increased, The NDR behavior decreased and moved in low electrical field, and we have studied the conduction mechanism of PTFE thin film.

Background: There have been various studies to investigate the mechanisms of DNA damage from low-energy electrons. To understand the mechanism of these strand breaks, it is necessary to investigate the dissociation mechanism of the DNA constituents, that is, bases, sugars, and phosphates. Materials and Methods: We studied the dissociation of thymine base upon interaction with low-energy electrons. For this experiment, thymine powder was pressed onto the indium base and irradiated by 5 eV electrons. Results and Discussion: Non-irradiated and irradiated thymine samples were compared and analyzed using the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic technique to analyze the dissociation patterns of the molecular bonds after low-energy electron irradiation of thymine. Conclusion: With 5 eV electron irradiation, C-C and N-C = O bonds are the primary dissociations that occur in thymine molecules.

LiMn2O4 thin fiolm cathodes for Li-ion secondary battery were fabricated by r.f. magnetron sputtering technique. As-deposited films were amorphous. A spinel structure could not be obtained LiMn2O4 films by in-situ thermal annealing. After post thermal annealing over $700^{\circ}C$ in oxygen atmosphere, LiMn2O4 films prepared above 100 W r.f. power could be crystallized into a spinel structure. The electrochemical property of the LiMn2O4 film cathodes was tested in a Li/1 M LiClO4 in PC/LiMn2O4 cell. From cyclic voltammetry at scan rate of 2mV/sec of 2.5~4.5V, LiMn2O4 electrode prepared by post annealing at 75$0^{\circ}C$ showed good initial capacity. LiMn2O4 electrode prepared by post annealing at 80$0^{\circ}C$ showed the best crycling performance.

A new magnetoelastic technique of oil viscosity measurement, where the oil viscosity is estimated by frequency shift of natural oscillations of magnetoelastic ribbon, is implemented in this study. Laboratory tests of the detector prototype are performed for measurement of viscosity of base synthetic and mineral oils. It was found that measurement accuracy was better when damping factor was estimated in comparison with accuracy of frequency of damped oscillations. Thus the oil viscosity was calibrated as a function of number of pulses of the damped oscillations of magnetoelastic ribbon. Result generally showed that developed detector is promising for in line oil viscosity measurement in wide viscosity range from 10 cSt up to 600 cSt, while the viscosity measurement was relatively instable when the viscosity of test oil was over 400 cSt.

At present, multiple input multiple output radars offer accurate target detection and better target parameter estimation with higher resolution in high-speed wireless communication systems. This study focuses primarily on power allocation to improve the performance of radars owing to the sparsity of targets in the spatial velocity domain. First, the radars are clustered using the kernel fuzzy C-means algorithm. Next, cooperative and noncooperative clusters are extracted based on the distance measured using the kernel fuzzy C-means algorithm. The power is allocated to cooperative clusters using the Pareto optimality particle swarm optimization algorithm. In addition, the Nash equilibrium particle swarm optimization algorithm is used for allocating power in the noncooperative clusters. The process of allocating power to cooperative and noncooperative clusters reduces the overall transmission power of the radars. In the experimental section, the proposed method obtained the power consumption of 0.014 to 0.0119 at K = 2, M = 3 and K = 2, M = 3, which is better compared to the existing methodologies-generalized Nash game and cooperative and noncooperative game theory.

Alumina/silver nanocomposites were fabricated using a soaking method through a sol-gel route to construct an intra-type nanostructure. The pulse electric-current sintering (PECS) technique was used to sinter the nanocomposites. Several specimens were annealed after sintering. The microstructure, mechanical properties, critical frontal process zone (FPZ) size, and thermo-mechanical properties of the nanocomposites were estimated. The relative densities of the specimens sintered at 1350 and $1450^{\circ}C$ were 95% and 99%, respectively. The maximum value of the three-point bending strength was found to be 780 MPa for the $2{\times}2{\times}10 mm$ specimen sintered at $1350^{\circ}C$. The fracture toughness of the specimen sintered at $1350^{\circ}C$ was measured to be $3.60 MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$ using the single-edge V-notched beam (SEVNB) technique. The fracture mode of the nanocomposites was transgranular, in contrast to the intergranular mode of monolithic alumina. The fracture morphology suggested that dislocations were generated around the silver nanoparticles dispersed within the alumina matrix. The specimens sintered at $1350^{\circ}C$ were annealed at $800^{\circ}C$ for 5 min, following which the maximum fracture strength became 810 MPa and the fracture toughness improved to $4.21 MPam^{1/2}$. The critical FPZ size was the largest for the specimen annealed at $800^{\circ}C$ for 5 min. Thermal conductivity of the alumina/silver nanocomposites sintered at $1350^{\circ}C$ was 38 W/mK at room temperature, which was higher than the value obtained with the law of mixture.

In this paper 2 types of voltage references and a current reference suitable for low-voltage, low-power circuits are proposed and designed with $0.35{\mu}m\;CMOS$ process. MOS transistors operating in weak inversion and bulk-driven technique are utilized to achieve low-voltage and low-power features. The first voltage reference consumes 1.43uA from a supply voltage of 1.2V while it has a reference voltage of 585mV and a TC(Temperature Coefficient) of $6ppm/^{\circ}C$. The second voltage reference consumes 48pW from a supply voltage of 0.3V while having a reference voltage of 172mV and a TC of $26ppm/^{\circ}C$. The current reference consumes 246nA from a supply voltage of 0.75V with a reference current of 32.6nA and a TC of $262ppm/^{\circ}C$. The performances of the designed references have been verified through simulations.
