  • 1차원 구조를 갖는 나노 와이어들은 나노 소자를 구현하기 위한 building-block으로 많은 과학자들의 주목을 받고 있고 또한 연구되고 있다. 하지만 그것을 정확하게 위치시키고 일정한 간격으로 정렬시키기 위한 기술 개발은 아직도 해결해야 할 큰 과제로 남아 있다. 이 논문에서, 우리는 ahsing 기술과 표면 패터닝 기술을 이용하여 대면적의 실리콘웨이퍼 위에 DNA(deoxyribonucleic acid)를 기반으로 한 금 나노 와이어를 정확하게 위치시키고 일정한 간격으로 정렬시킬 수 있는 새로운 제어 기술을 제안한다. 먼저 우리는 포토 리소그래피 공정과 $O_2$ 플라즈마 ashing 기술을 이용하여 선폭을 100 nm로 감소 시켰다. 그리고 자기조립단분자막 (self-assembled monolayers; SAMs) 방법과 lift-off 공정을 반복함으로서 1-octadecyltrichlorosilane(OTS) 층과 aminopropylethoxysilane(APS) 층을 형성하였다. 마지막으로 DNA 용액을 샘플 표면 위에 도포하고 분자 빗질 방법으로 DNA를 한 방향으로 정렬 시켰고 금 나노입자 용액을 처리하였다. 그 결과 금 나노 와이어는 $10{\mu}m$ 간격으로 일정하게 정열 되었고, APS 층에만 정확하게 정렬되었다. 우리는 금 나노 와이어를 관찰하기 위하여 원자간력 현미경 (Atomic Force Microscope AFM)을 사용하였다.

  • In recent years, a cloud environment with the ability to detect illegal behaviours along with a secured data storage capability is much needed. This study presents a cloud storage framework, wherein a 128-bit encryption key has been generated by combining deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) cryptography and the Hill Cipher algorithm to make the framework unbreakable and ensure a better and secured distributed cloud storage environment. Moreover, the study proposes a DNA-based encryption technique, followed by a 256-bit secure socket layer (SSL) to secure data storage. The 256-bit SSL provides secured connections during data transmission. The data herein are classified based on different qualitative security parameters obtained using a specialized fuzzy-based classification technique. The model also has an additional advantage of being able to decide on selecting suitable storage servers from an existing pool of storage servers. A fuzzy-based technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) model has been employed for this, which can decide on the set of suitable storage servers on which the data must be stored and results in a reduction in execution time by keeping up the level of security to an improved grade.

  • We have developed SH (shear horizontal) surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensors for detection of the immobilization and hybridization of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) on the gold coated delay line of transverse SAW devices. The experiments of DNA immobilization and hybridization were performed with 15-mer oligonucleotides (probe and complementary target DNA). The sensor consists of twin SAW delay line oscillators operating at 100 MHz fabricated on $36^{\circ}$ rotated Y-cut $LiTaO_3$ piezoelectric single crystals. The relative change in the frequency of the two oscillators was monitored to detect the hybridization between target DNA and immobilized probe DNA in pH 7.4 PBS (phosphate buffered saline) solution. The measurement results showed a good response of the sensor to the mass loading effects of the DNA immobilization and hybridization with the sensitivity up to $1.55{\cal}ng/{\cal}ml/Hz$.

  • Background: Evaluation of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-strand break is important to elucidate the biological effect of ionizing radiations. The conventional methods for DNA-strand break evaluation have been achieved by Agarose gel electrophoresis and others using an electrical property of DNAs. Such kinds of DNA-strand break evaluation systems can estimate DNA-strand break, according to a molecular weight of DNAs. However, the conventional method needs pretreatment of the sample and a relatively long period for analysis. They do not have enough sensitivity to detect the strand break products in the low-dose region. Materials and Methods: The sample is water, methanol and plasmid DNA solution. The plasmid DNA pUC118 was multiplied by using Escherichia coli JM109 competent cells. The resonance frequency and Q-value were measured by means of microwave dielectric absorption spectroscopy. When a sample is located at a center of the electric field, resonance curve of the frequency that existed as a standing wave is disturbed. As a result, the perturbation effect to perform a resonance with different frequency is adopted. Results and Discussion: The resonance frequency shifted to higher frequency with an increase in a concentration of methanol as the model of the biological material, and the Q-value decreased. The absorption peak in microwave power spectrum of the double-strand break plasmid DNA shifted from the non-damaged plasmid DNA. Moreover, the sharpness of absorption peak changed resulting in change in Q-value. We confirmed that a resonance frequency shifted to higher frequency with an increase in concentration of the plasmid DNA. Conclusion: We developed a new technique for an evaluation of DNA damage. In this paper, we report the evaluation method of DNA damage using microwave dielectric absorption spectroscopy.

  • Long gene sequences and their products have been studied by many methods. The use of DNA(Deoxyribonucleic acid) microarray technology has resulted in an enormous amount of data, which has been difficult to analyze using typical research methods. This paper proposes that mass data be analyzed using division clustering with the K-means clustering algorithm. To demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method, it was used to analyze the microarray data from rice DNA. The results were compared to those of the existing K-meansmethod establishing that the proposed method is more useful in spite of the effective reduction of performance time.

  • Streptococcus faecalis var. liquefaciens was examined for the presence of plasmid deoxyribonucleic acid. An analysis by agarose gel electrophoresis revealed the presence of at least four plasmids of approxymately 6.8, 5.2, 2.6, and 2.1 Mdal. Two plasmid cured strains were obtained by novobiocin treatment. SKR2, which lost 5.2 mdal plasmid (pSK2) and 2.1 Mdal plasmid(pSK4) was sensitive to lincomycin and erythromycin. However, all cured strains showed identical response as parental strain in sugar fermentation, temperature sensitivity, proteolytic activity, and liquefaction of gelatin. The results imply that pSK2 or pSK4 is associated with antibiotic resistance of Str. faecalis var. liquefaciens.

  • During the last decade, the security of digital images has received considerable attention in various multimedia transmission schemes. However, many current cryptosystems tend to adopt a single-layer permutation or diffusion algorithm, resulting in inadequate security. A hierarchical bilateral diffusion architecture for color image encryption is proposed in response to this issue, based on a hyperchaotic system and DNA sequence operation. Primarily, two hyperchaotic systems are adopted and combined with cipher matrixes generation algorithm to overcome exhaustive attacks. Further, the proposed architecture involves designing pixelpermutation, pixel-diffusion, and DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) based block-diffusion algorithm, considering system security and transmission efficiency. The pixel-permutation aims to reduce the correlation of adjacent pixels and provide excellent initial conditions for subsequent diffusion procedures, while the diffusion architecture confuses the image matrix in a bilateral direction with ultra-low power consumption. The proposed system achieves preferable number of pixel change rate (NPCR) and unified average changing intensity (UACI) of 99.61% and 33.46%, and a lower encryption time of 3.30 seconds, which performs better than some current image encryption algorithms. The simulated results and security analysis demonstrate that the proposed mechanism can resist various potential attacks with comparatively low computational time consumption.

  • Micro-array technology contributes numerous achievements such as ordering of gene network and integration of genomic. This technology is well established as means for investigating patterns of gene expression. DNA micro-arrays utilize Affymetric chips where a large quantity of DNA sequences may be synthesized. There are two general type of conventional DNA array spotter: contact and piezoelectric. The contact technology used spotting pin technology to make contact with the glass slide surface. This may caused damage or scratches to the surface matrix where protein will be contaminated and may not bind specifically. Piezoelectric technology available at this present time on the other hand requires the analyzer to print the result that can only be done within the laboratory despite of mass production. Therefore, in this paper, high-throughput technology is developed for providing greater consistency in feature spot without touching the glass slide surface.
