New banana-shaped achiral compounds, 4-chloro-1,3-phenylene bis [4-4(3-fluoro-9-alkenyloxy) phenyl-iminomethylbenzoate]s and 4-chloro-1,3-phenylene bis [4-4-(3-fluoro-10-alkanyloxy) phenyliminomethyl benzoate]s were synthesized by varying the substituent (X=H, F, or Cl); their electrooptical properties are described. The smectic phases, including a switchable chiral smectic C ($SmC^{\ast}$) phase, were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry, polarizing optical microscopy, and triangular method. The presence of vinyl end group at the terminals of linear side wings in the banana-shaped molecules induced a decrease in melting temperature. The smectic phase having the undecenyloxy group such $as-(CH_2)_9CH=CH_2$ showed ferroelectric switching, and its value of spontaneous polarization on reversal of an applied electric field was 2250 $nC/cm^2$, while the value of spontaneous polarization of the smectic phase having the decanyloxy group such as $-(CH2)_9CH_3$ was 3700 $nC/cm^2$. We could obtain the ferroelectric phase with low isotropic temperature by varying the end group at the terminals of linear side wings in the banana-shaped achiral molecules.

ETFE is the abbreviation of Ethlene Tetra Fluoro Ethlene, a sort of colorless and transparent granules. The advantage of ETFE film has chemical resistance, anti-stick property, very lightly material. The thickness of ETFE film is used to from 50 ${\mu}m$ to 300 ${\mu}m$ and have superior ability of daylight transmission and elongation, while the strength is lower than of fabric membrane. The tensile strength of ETFE film changes from 40Mpa to 60Mpa and the tensile strain at break can get to about 300-400%. The mechanical characteristic test of ETFE film is described in this paper. The tensile strain at break, the tensile strength and the stress-strain curve are obtained from the test. And then it was analyzed stress-strain characteristic by temperature and mechanical characteristic by cycling load.

A new accepter unit, 6,7-difluoro-2,3-dihexylquinoxaline, was prepared and utilized for the synthesis of the conjugated polymers containing electron donor-acceptor pair for OPVs. New series of copolymers with dioctyloxybenzodithiophene as the electron rich unit and 6,7-difluoro-2,3-dihexylquinoxaline as the electron deficient unit are synthesized. The solid films of poly[2,6-(4,8-bis(2-ethylhexyloxy)benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']dithiophene)-alt-5,8-(6,7-difluoro-2,3-dihexylquinoxaline)] (PBQxF) and poly[2,6-(4,8-bis(2-ethylhexyloxy) benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']dithiophene)-alt-5,8-(6,7-difluoro-2,3-dihexyl-5,8-di(thiophen-2-yl) quinoxaline)] (PBDTQxF) show absorption bands with maximum peaks at about 599 and 551 nm and the absorption onsets at 692 and 713 nm, corresponding to band gaps of 1.79 and 1.74 eV, respectively. The devices comprising PBQxF with $PC_{71}BM$ (1:2) showed open-circuit voltage ($V_{OC}$) of 0.64 V, short-circuit current density ($J_{SC}$) of $1.58mA/cm^2$, and fill factor (FF) of 0.39, giving power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 0.39%. To obtain absorption in the longer wavelength region, thiophene units without any alkyl group are incorporated as one of the monomers in PBDTQxF, which may result in low solubility of the polymers to lead lower efficiency.

In the theory of Korean medicine, Angelicae Dahuricae Radix (ADR) can expel wind and relieve exterior syndrome, and eliminate dampness. Recently, ADR has been reported to have possibilities as anti-inflammatory agent and cosmetics. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of ADR on contact dermatitis (CD). In order to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of ADR on CD, we investigated the effects of ADR on ear thickness, ear weight, skin lesion and histopathological changes in mice with CD induced by 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB). In addition, the effect on spleen weight was also measured. In our results, topical application of ADR lowered ear thickness and weight respectively. ADR treatment also improved skin lesions such as erythema and scale. In the histopathological observation, ADR-treated group showed diminished epidermal hyperplasia and immune cell infiltration in inflammed tissues compared to those of non-treated control group. In conclusion, These data suggest that ADR has anti-inflammatory action in inflammed skin tissue, resulting in improving skin lesion and histopathological abnormalities of CD.

The solenoid valve used in fuel cell system need to have good sealing performance because the work fluid can explode in the system. Moreover, the temperature of the work fluid is extremely high in order to maintain the properties of the rubber ring that seals the solenoid valve. This study deals with the rubber ring which is made from a fluoro-elastomer. The life cycle of the rubber ring was estimated by the relational expression of Arrhenius, and the solenoid valve was tested to confirm the sealing characteristics.

TR75, a rice (Oryza sativa L. var. Sasanishikj) mutant resistant to 5-methyltryptophan (5MT) was segregated from the progenies of its initial mutant line, TR1. The 5MT resistance of TR75 was inherited in the M$_{8}$ generations as a single dominant nuclear gene, and was also expressed in callus derived from seeds, roots, and anthers as well as in the seedlings. The callus induced from these organs could grow at 50 mg/1 of 5MT, whereas the growth of wild-type callus was completely inhibited even at 25 mg/1. The seedlings of TR75 did not show resistance to L-azetidine-2-carboxylic acid, S-2-aminoethyl-L-cysteine, p-fluoro-DL-phenylalanine. The content of free amino acids in the TR75 homozygous seeds increased approximately 1.5 to 2.0 fold compared to wild-type seeds. Especially, the contents of tryptophan, phenylalanine and aspartic acid were 5.0, 5.3 and 2.7 times higher than those of wild-type seeds, respectively.y.

In order to synthesize a new antibacterial and antitumor agents, we have prepared new analogues pteroic acid(13a, 13b), which means C-9 position of pteroic acid has been replaced by norfloxacin(8) or ciprofloxacin(9) and amino group of C-2 position by $CH_3$. These derivatives were synthesized coupling at N-4 piperazine of norfloxacin and ciprofloxacin with 2-amino-3-cyano-5-chloromethylpyrazine(20) provided 1-alkyl(ethyl, cyclopropyl)-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7-[[4-N-(2-amino-3-cyanopyrazin-5-yl)methyl]piperazin-1-yl]-3-quinoline-carboxylic acid(12a, 12b). It was then cyclized with acetamidine. HCI to obtain new analogues of C-2 desaminomethylpteroic acid(13a, 13b) in yield of 76.2% and 82.8 % respectively. These compounds were tested in vitro on antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria including Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC9027. In general, these synthesized compounds(13a, 13b) showed less potent activities than those of norfloxacin.

In this study, the fiber-optic fluoro-immunosensor was designed to detect foodborne pathogens. The fabricated system is composed of the multimode optical fiber on which antibodies are immobilized. Then, a sandwich immunoassay is applied to the fabricated the fiber-optic fluoro-immunosensor. In the "sandwich" binding format, a primary or "capture" antibody is immobilized on the core surface of the multimode optical fiber and a secondary or named as "tracer" antibody is added to the bulk solution. A tracer is labeled FITC (fluorescein isothiocyanate; ${\lambda}ex$=492 nm, ${\lambda}em$= 520 nm). Different concentrations of antigens are tested in different fibers. The detection limit of the fabricated system is 5.08×103 cfu/ml for Vibrio antigen and $0.1{\mu}g/ml$, $0.05{\mu}g/ml$ in non-labeled monolayer phosphate buffered saline (NMP), non-labeled monolayer carbonate bicarbonate buffer (NMC), respectively.

DW-116 {(1-(5-fluoro-2-pyridyl)-6-fluoro-7-(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl)-1,4-dihydro-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid hydrochloride) is a new quinolone antibiotic with a broad antibacterial spectrum against G(+) and G(-) bacteria. DW-116 was evaluated for the appearance of micronucleus in polychromatic erythrocytes (PCEs) of mouse bone marrow cells after intraperitoneal and oral single administration. We prepared the bone marrow cells at 30hr after drug administration and they were used for measuring PCE with micronucleus. The results showed there was no statistically significant increase in the numbers of PCEs with micronucleus in all DW-116 administered groups compared with a negative control group. The results also showed that the ratio of normochromatic erythrocytes(NCEs) to PCEs of all DW-116 administered groups was not significantly different from that of a negative control group. These results suggested that DW-116 may not cause any chromosomal damage and it has no in vivo mutagenic potential under these experimental conditions.
