Fatty acid and sterol composition of soybean seedlings was investigated by treatment of light irradiation time. The results obtained were as follows; 1. In hypocotyl of seedlings, the proportion of linoleic and linolenic acid was in creased with increasing light irradiation time, while those of palmitic and stearic acid was decreased. 2. In root of seedlings, the proportion of palmitic and linolenic acid was decreased with increasing light irradiation time, but those of stearic and oleic acid was in creased 2 days after germination. 3. Throughout their growth, the main sterol of cotyledon was the stigmasterol but that of in hypocotyl and roots was sitosterol. 4. On 6 days after planting, the content of sitosterol was the highest in hypocotyl of seedlings recieved 24-hour irradiation. 5. The proportion of sitosterol in root was decreased with growth duration under the dark and 24 hour-irradiation condition while increased under 16 hour irradiation.

Background: Light-emitting diodes curing unit (LCU), which emit blue light, is used for polymerization of composite resins in many dentistry. Although the use of LCU for light-cured composite resin polymerization is considered safe, it is still controversial whether it can directly or indirectly have harmful biological influences on oral tissues. The aim of this study was to elucidate the biological effects of LCU in wavelengths ranging from 440 to 490 nm, on the cell viability and secretion of inflammatory cytokines in MDPC-23 odontoblastic cells and inflammatory-induced MDPC-23 cells by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Methods: The MTT assay and observation using microscope were performed on MDPC-23 cells to investigate the cell viability and cytotoxic effects on LCU irradiation. Results: MDPC-23 cells and LPS stimulated MDPC-23 cells were found to have no effects on cell viability and cell morphology in the LCU irradiation. Nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin $E_2$ which are the pro-inflammatory mediators, and interleukin-$1{\beta}$ and tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ (TNF-${\alpha}$) which are the proinflammatory cytokines were significantly increased in MCPD-23 cells after LCU irradiation as time increased in comparison with the control. LCU irradiation has the potential to induce inflammation or biological damages in normal dental tissues, including MDPC-23 cells. Conclusion: Therefore, it is necessary to limit the use of LCU except for the appropriate dose and irradiation time. In addition, LCU irradiation of inflammatory-induced MDPC-23 cells by LPS was reduced the secretion of NO compared to the LPS alone treatment group and was significantly reduced the secretion of TNF-${\alpha}$ in all the time groups. Therefore, LCU application in LPS stimulated MDPC-23 odontoblastic cells has a photodynamic therapy like effect as well as inflammation relief.

The polygenic variation in flowering time of soybean irradiated with Co$^{60}$ gamma ray evaluated in the R$_2$ generation. The genetic variance in the irradiation treatment was about four times that of the control. The basic possibility of selection for the early and the late in flowering time of soybean after irradiated with Co$^{60}$ was suggested in this paper.

Ultrasonic wave technology was employed to improve filtration performance and ethanol production in a bioreactor equipped with an internal ceramic-membrane filter module. The filtration performance was found to depend on the power and the pattern of ultrasonic wave irradiation. Under the optimized conditions (irradiation time: 25 see, period: 5 min, and ultrasonic power: 60 W), the flux was improved with the periodic-pause method by 200-700％ compared with the control (with no irradiation), while the improvement was only 30 to 90％ without the periodic-pause method. The final ethanol concentration also increased slightly. However, in a more severe condition (irradiation time: 2.5 min, period: 5 min, and ultrasonic power: 110 W), the irradiation of ultrasonic waves was observed to disturb cell integrity and viability, and thus to decrease ethanol production.

This letter focuses on the liquid crystal alignment characteristics according to the properties of hydrogenated amorphous carbon(a-C:H) thin film deposited by RPECVD(Remote Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) method using $C_2H_2$ and He gases. The properties of the deposited thin films were controlled by the ion beam irradiation time and ion beam energy. The results show that not ion beam energy but ion beam irradiation time plays an important role in the properties of a-G:H thin films. As the ion beam irradiation time increases, not only the sp2 concentration in a-G:H thin films but also liquid crystal pretilt angle was varied.

In this study, composite materials were put to dry interfacial treatment by use of plasma technology It has been presented that the optimum parameters for the best wettability of the samples at the time of generation of plasma were oxygen atmosphere, 0.1 Torr of system pressure, 100 W of discharge power, and 3 minutes of discharge time. The decrease in surface potential of charged samples by corona discharge indicates that the amount of accumulated electrical charges reduces and the charges that have been injected lessen rapidly when the duration of UV irradiation increases. The surface resistivity and the tensile strength of plasma treated samples, a longer UV irradiation time resulted in decreased insulation.

The purpose of the study was to identify the effect of laser parameters on photocoagulation to maximize safety and efficacy during varicose vein treatment. CW and pulsed modes at 1470 nm were initially compared as a function of power on bovine liver tissue. In the pulsed mode, various parameters including repetition rate, duty cycle, and irradiation time were compared to evaluate tissue response during thermal treatment. The results demonstrated that CW and pulsed modes yielded almost similar coagulation development possibly due to shorter irradiation time of 5 sec. Regardless of laser mode, both repetition rate and duty cycle presented constant coagulation rate whereas longer irradiation time facilitated coagulation process.

The electro-optical characteristics of photo-aligned vertical-alignment (VA)-liquid crystal display (LCD) with non-polarized ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation of 45\`on homeotropic polyimide (Pl) surface were investigated. LC alignment on photo-aligned VA-LCD is attributed to photo-depolymerized reaction of the polymer with non-polarized UV light irradiation on PI surface. We had good voltage-transmittance (V-T) characteristics of photo-aligned VA-LCD. The response time of photo-aligned VA-LCD was slower than that of the rubbing-aligned VA-LCD. Finally, we suggest that the slow response time of photo-aligned VA-LCD depends on the LC domain.

Proton irradiation technology was used for improvement of switching characteristics of the PT-IGBT. Proton irradiation was carried out at 5.56 MeV energy with $1{\times}10^{12}/cm^2$ doze from the back side of the wafer. The I-V, breakdown voltage, and turn-off delay time of the device were analyzed and compared with those of un-irradiated device and e-beam irradiated device which was conventional method for minority carrier lifetime reduction. For proton irradiated device, the breakdown voltage and the on-state voltage were 733 V and 1.85 V which were originally 749 V and 1.25 V, respectively. The turn-off time has been reduced to 170 ns, which was originally $6{\mu}s$ for the un-irradiated device. The proton irradiated device was superior to e-beam irradiated device for the breakdown voltage and the on-state voltage which were 698 V and 1.95 V, respectively, nevertheless turn-off time of proton irradiated device was reduced to about 60 % compared to that of the e-beam irradiated device.

The importance of nano gold particles has been increased in the field of bio physics and medicine, recently. In this regard, the study aims to analyze how the harmless nano gold particles can be transformed by respective variables. In this study, electrospun PU nano-webs were impregnated with aqueous $HAuCl_4$ solution and UV light was irradiated on the webs. Au-ions were reduced to nano particles by photocatalytic reduction and these nano gold particles were characterized by SEM, UV-vis, Zetasizer, Spectrophotometer, EDS. $HAuCl_4$ solution concentration and UV irradiation time have heen examined to change the amount of absorption. Nano gold particles size and UV-Vis absorbances were increased with $HAuCl_4$ solution concentration and UV irradiation time.
