The influence of solvent viscosity on conformational dynamics of the heme-pocket, a small vacant site near the binding site of myoglobin (Mb) and hemoglobin (Hb), and playing a functionally important role by serving as a station in ligand binding and escape, was studied by probing time-resolved vibrational spectra of CO photodissociated from MbCO and HbCO in $D_2O$, 75 wt% glycerol/$D_2O$, and trehalose at 283 K. Two absorption bands ($B_1$ and $B_2$) of the sample in viscous solvents, arising from CO in the heme pocket, are very similar to those in $D_2O$. Two bands in Mb and Hb under all three solvents exhibit very similar nonexponential spectral evolution ($B_1$ band; blue shifting and broadening, $B_2$ band; narrowing with a negligible shifting), suggesting that in the present experimental time window of 100 ps, the extents of the spectral shift and narrowing is much influenced neither by the viscosity of solvent nor by the quaternary contact of Hb. Spectral evolution can be described by a biexponential function with a fast universal time constant of 0.52 ps and a slow time constant ranging from 13 to 32 ps. For both proteins in all three solvents majority of spectral evolution occurs with the fast universal time constant. The magnitude of the slow rate in the spectral shift of B1 band decreases with increasing solvent viscosity, indicating that it is influenced by global conformational change which is retarded in viscous solvent, thereby serve as a reporter of global conformational change of heme proteins after deligation.

Colorimetric sensors were usually used to detect specific metal ions using selective color change of solutions. While almost organic dye in colorimetric sensors detected single molecule, dithizone (DTZ) solution could be separately detected above 5 kinds of heavy metal ions by the change of clear color. Namely, DTZ could be used as multi-colorimetric sensors. However, DTZ was generally used as aqueous type and paper/pellet-type DTZ was not reported yet. Therefore, in this work, polystyrene (PS) was prepared to composite with DTZ and then DTZ/PS pellet was obtained, which was used to selectively detect 10 kinds of heavy metal ions. When 10 ppm of Hg and Co ions was exposed in DTZ/PS pellets, clear color change was revealed. It is noted that DTZ/PS pellet could be used in detecting of heavy metal ion as dry type.

In-plane switching characteristics of PI rubbed ITO sandwich cell with low molecule FLC (ferroelectric liquid crystal) surface was investigated. FLC on the surface is governed by the applying frequency and surface condition. By controlling the Ps (spontaneous polarization) direction of dual FLC surfaces, switching characteristics are improved without change of cell structure.

A TACUB jig was applied to separate waste plastics [polystyrene (PS), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET)] used in copy machine. The effect of water pulsation including amplitude and frequency on the separation performance was investigated for the feeds containing two or three plastics. Good results are obtained under suitable conditions. Grades of 99.8% PS,99.3% ABS, and 98.6% PET are recovered as the products in the upper, middle and bottom layers respectively. Based on these results, a processing plant fer recycling of plastics from scrapped copy machines is now under construction.

This paper describes a clock and data recovery (CDR) circuit that supports dual data rates of 2.7Gbps and 1.62Gbps for DisplayPort standard. The proposed CDR has a dual mode voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) that changes the operating frequency with a "Mode" switch control. The chip has been implemented using $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process. Measured results show the circuit exhibits peak-to-peak jitters of 37ps(@2.7Gbps) and 27ps(@1.62Gbps) in the recovered data. The power dissipation is 80mW at 2.7Gbps rate from a 1.8V supply.

The aircraft industry is a typical complex product system (CoPS) and one of the system integration industries. In this particular sector, industrial competitiveness is decided by technological capabilities in system level as well as subsystem level. Korea has been involved in the aircraft industry since early 1970s. Technological capability in the system level has been developed based on military aircraft production program. However, subsystem and component level capabilities have been remained less developed. In this paper, the capability building process as well as current problem; of the Korean aircraft industry have been examined. In conclusion, capability building up strategies in the Korean aircraft industry has been suggested.

Poly(butylene succiate) (PBS), poly(butylene succinate-co-L-lactate) (PBSL), and poly(butylene succinate-co-6-hydroxycaproate) (PBSCL) polymers were degraded by lipase $PS^{(R)}$, and the enzymatic degradation mechanism of PBS was analyzed in detail. The enzymatic degradation of PBS gave 4-hydroxybutyl succinate (4HBS) as the main product. An exo-type hydrolysis mechanism was proposed based on this observation. The terminal chain of PBS had conformational similarity to ordinary tri- and diglycerides and could be incorporated as a substrate in the active site of this lipase. The surface adsorption of the lipase was much larger on PBS and its copolymer films than on the other polyester films because the lipase adhered quite strongly to the polymer terminal through a specific adsorption mechanism. Kinetic analysis showed that the total number of surface adsorption points per unit area of PBSL and PBSCL copolymers was larger than that of the PBS homopolymer.

To promote successful bioinformatics commercialization in terms of CoPS, we try to explore a commercialization process based on the characteristics of the product. Our study shows that external integration with sector-specific infrastructure is a critical factor to obtaining a knowledge base for CoPS commercialization, and that sector-specific local infrastructure is useful resource for early commercialization stages(imagining, incubating, and demonstrating stages). This paper analyzes Ensoltek's commercialization process on the basis of analysis of bioinformatics industry and Daeduck Science Park. This leads us to suggest the following policy implication for supporting commercialization activities in bioinformatics industry ; long-term investment policy towards infrastructure and software R&D, promotion policy for collaboration, and introduction of commercialisation based industry-university-public research institute cooperation.

We successfully coated poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) : poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT : PSS) on CVD graphene by adding poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) to PEDOT : PSS. Extensive studies on the wettability of coating solutions and electrical properties of formed films led us to conclude that PVA with 89% of the degree of saponification and the molecular weight of less than $100,000gmol^{-1}$ produced optimum results. Furthermore, the optimum content of PVA was found to be 5% of PEDOT : PSS by the solid weight. The film coated by PEDOT : PSS with PVA on CVD graphene displayed a conspicuous improvement in the surface roughness, adhesive property, bending durability and stability in resistance at $160^{\circ}C$, compared to those of using CVD graphene films.
