Recent development of 3D technologies made it possible that observers perceive 3D depth from two dimensional images. Despite this kind of technological development, when observers watch 3D display they experience 3D visual fatigue that they do not usually experience in real life. It is critical to measure visual fatigue in order to overcome the problem of 3D visual fatigue. The purpose of the present study was to develop a protocol to measure 3D visual fatigue based on an EEG signal and to examine its validity. The first experiment explored the possible ERP components that reflected visual fatigue in 2D and 3D conditions. The second experiment examined whether the feature of the component found in the first experiment was affected by the amount of binocular disparity. Both in Cz and Pz channels, the peak amplitude of P3 component was much lower in 3D rather than in 2D conditions, and it decreased as the amount of binocular disparity increased. The subjective 3D visual fatigue also increased with the amount of binocular disparity. These results imply that the peak amplitude of P3 component at Cz and Pz channels can be used as an index of 3D visual fatigue.

In this paper, we study the uniqueness of entire functions and prove the following theorem. Let n(${\geq}$ 5), k be positive integers, and let $S_1$ = {z : $z^n$ = 1}, $S_2$ = {$a_1$, $a_2$, ${\cdots}$, $a_m$}, where $a_1$, $a_2$, ${\cdots}$, $a_m$ are distinct nonzero constants. If two non-constant entire functions f and g satisfy $E_f(S_1,2)$ = $E_g(S_1,2)$ and $E_{f^{(k)}}(S_2,{\infty})$ = $E_{g^{(k)}}(S_2,{\infty})$, then one of the following cases must occur: (1) f = tg, {$a_1$, $a_2$, ${\cdots}$, $a_m$} = t{$a_1$, $a_2$, ${\cdots}$, $a_m$}, where t is a constant satisfying $t^n$ = 1; (2) f(z) = $de^{cz}$, g(z) = $\frac{t}{d}e^{-cz}$, {$a_1$, $a_2$, ${\cdots}$, $a_m$} = $(-1)^kc^{2k}t\{\frac{1}{a_1},{\cdots},\frac{1}{a_m}\}$, where t, c, d are nonzero constants and $t^n$ = 1. The results in this paper improve the result given by Fang (M.L. Fang, Entire functions and their derivatives share two finite sets, Bull. Malaysian Math. Sc. Soc. 24(2001), 7-16).

The fast pulling is easy to modify the distribution of grown-in defects toward fine size, which can be readily removed by additional treatment. In this experiment, The fast pulled crystals with high pulling late over 1.0 mm/min were grown and their grown-in defect distributions were investigated. In our recent developments in the growth of Cz-Si, it could be found that the cooling rate in a specific temperature range and the uniformity of temperature gradient at solid/liquid interface are more important for the formation of grown-in defect than the pulling rate itself. We analyzed these cooling rates and temperature gradients for the various fast pulled crystals and compared them to the observed formation behavior of the grown-in defects. The effective factor (Ω) for the void defect formation was introduced and it could explain the radial distribution of void defects in the fast-pulled crystals effectively.

When concentration of vacancies in a CZ silicon crystal is defined by molar fraction XB, the degree of super-saturation $\sigma$ is given by [XB-XBS]/XBS=XB/XBS-1=ln (XB/XBS) because XB/XBS is nearly equal to unity. Here, XBS is the saturated concentration of vacancies in a silicon crystal and XB is a little larger than XBS. According to Bragg-Williams approximation, the chemical potential of the vacancies in the crystal is given by ${\mu}$B=${\mu}$0+RT ln XB+RT ln ${\gamma}$, where R is the gas constant, T is temperature, ${\mu}$0 is an ideal chemical potential of the vacancies and ${\gamma}$ is an adjustable parameter similar to the activity of solute in a solution. Thus, $\sigma$(T) is equal to (${\mu}$B-${\mu}$BS)/RT. Driving force of nucleation of the vacancy agglomeration will be proportional to the chemical potential difference (${\mu}$B-${\mu}$BS) or $\sigma$(T), while growth of the vacancy agglomeration is proportional to diffusion of the vacancies and grad ${\mu}$B.

Poly[(1-(9-carbazoly1)ethylene)-co-(3-cinnamoyloxyoctyl-9-carbazolyl)] ethylene (PVK-Cin) was prepared by tethering cinnamate pendants to a carbazole group via an octylene spacer. The photopatternability of the new PVK based-polymer was investigated using a photocrosslinking reaction under UV light illumination $(\lambda=254nm)$. Blends of the PVK-Cin and a soluble poly(phenylene vinylene) (CzEh-PPV) were employed to study the photocrosslinking behavior. Well resolved lithographic patterns were observed in these polymer systems. PVK-Cin produced a blue light emitting pattern both before and after the photocrosslinking reaction. The blends of PVK-Cin and CzEh-PPV also showed corresponding emissions at 398 and 525 (560) nm in the film state.

When concentration of vacancies in a CZ silicon crystal is defined by molar fraction $X_{B}$, the degree for supersaturation $\sigma$ is given by $[X_{B}-X_{BS}]/X_{BS}=X_{B}/X_{BS}-1=ln(X_{B}/X_{BS})$ because $X_{B}/X_{BS}$ is nearly equal to unity. Here, $X_{BS}$ is the saturated concentration of vacancies in a silicon crystal and $X_{B}$ is a little larger than $X_{BS}$. According to Bragg-Williams approximation, the chemical potential of the vacancies in the crystal is given by ${\mu}_{B}={\mu}^{0}+RT$ ln $X_{B}+RT$ ln ${\gamma}$, where R is the gas constant, T is temperature, ${\mu}^{0}$ is an ideal chemical potential of the vacancies and ${\gamma}$ is and adjustable parameter similar to the activity of solute in a solute in a solution. Thus, ${\sigma}(T)$ is equal to $({\mu}_{B}-{\mu}_{BS})/RT$. Driving force of nucleation for the vacancy agglomeration will be proportional to the chemical potentialdifference $({\mu}_{B}-{\mu}_{BS})/RT$ or ${\sigma}(T)$, while growth of the vacancy agglomeration is proportaional to diffusion of the vacancies and grad ${\mu}_{B}$.

This paper presents a process optimization of antireflectiun (AR) coating on crystalline Si solar cells. Theoretical and experimental investigations were performed on a doble-layer AR(DLAR) coating of MgF$_2$/CeO$_2$, We investigated CeO$_2$ films as an All layer because they hale a proper refractive index of 2.46 and demonstrate the same lattice constant as Si substrate. RF sputter grown CeO$_2$ film showed strong dependence on a deposition temperature. The CeO$_2$ film deposited at 400 $^{\circ}C$ exhibited a strong (111) preferred orientation and the lowest surface roughness of 6.87 $\AA$. Refractive index of MgF$_2$ film was measured as 1.386 for the most of growth temperature. An optimized DLAR coating showed a reflectance as low as 2.04 % in the wavelengths ranged from 0.4 7m to 1.1 7m. We achieved the efficiencies of solar cells greater than 15% with 3.12 % improvement with DLAR coatings . Further details on MgF$_2$, CeO$_2$ films, and cell fabrication Parameters are presented in this paper.

Encapsulation of biological material in the permiselective membrane allows to construct a system separating cells from their products, which may find biotechnological as well as biomedical applications in biological processes regulation. Application of a permiselective membrane allows avoiding an attack of the implanted microorganisms on the host. Our aim was to evaluate the performance of Bacillus subtilis encapsulated in an elaborate membrane system producing listeriolysin O, a cytolysin from Listeria monocytogenes, with chosen eukaryotic cells for future application in anticancer treatment. The system of encapsulating in membrane live Bacillus subtilis BR1-S secreting listeriolysin O was proven to exert the effective cytotoxic activity on eukaryotic cells. Interestingly, listeriolysin O showed selective cytotoxic activity on eukaryotic cells: more human leukemia Jurkat T cells were killed than human chronic lymphocytic B cells leukemia at similar conditions in vitro. This system of encapsulated B. subtilis, continuously releasing bacterial products, may affect selectively different types of cells and may have future application in local anticancer treatment.

This study was designed to determine optimal extraction conditions of Chrysanthemum zawadskii (CZ) with high yield of bioactive compounds (linarin, polyphenols, and flavonoids) and improved in vitro activities. Ethanol extracts were examined at different concentrations (0, 30, 50, 70, and 95%) and temperatures (50 and $70^{\circ}C$). The recommended extraction conditions were 50% ethanol at $70^{\circ}C$ for 4 h, which gave the highest yield of linarin, polyphenols, and flavonoids. This extract appeared to have the greatest ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging activities (87.81% and 51.42% at $500{\mu}g/mL$, respectively) and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase (74.59%) and pancreatic lipase inhibitory activities (90.44%). As contents of linarin increased, antioxidative activity, inhibitory effects of carbohydrates and lipid absorption of CZ extracts increased as well. From these results, CZ extracts can be used in functional food industries.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of implicit and explicit situation awareness instruction on decision making and event related brain potentials. Psychophysiological data obtained from 36 intermediated level tennis players whose National Tennis Rating Program(NTTP) belong 2 to 2.5 were compared. Participants were randomly assigned to one of three experimental groups: (1) implicit situation awareness, (2) explicit situation awareness, and (3) control group. A total of 90 clips were presented via a beam project screen, and participants pressed one of three jelly bean buttons to indicate the direction of ball hit. Dependent measures were the latencies and amplitudes of P300 on Pz, Cz, and Fz. The results of this study indicated that participants in the implicit situation awareness produced tenser P300, than participants in the explicit situation awareness group. The findings also indicated that single defense showed longer P300 latencies than single attack as well as double defense. The P300-amplitude of treatment groups were longer than control group. The Cz area showed shorer P300 latencies than Pz and Fz areas. In addition, single defense situation demonstrated longer P300 latencies than single attack and double defence situations. Based on this study, it is believed that implicit and explicit situation awareness instruction influence decision making in different ways.
