The blue-color emitting phosphor powder, $CaMgSi_{2}O_6:Eu^{2+}(CMS:Eu^{2+})$ was synthesized by the solid-state reaction method. The synthesized powder was annealed from room temperature to $1,100^{\circ}C$ in air. Its PL property and valence state of Eu atoms was measured by the photoluminescence (PL) and the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrometers, respectively. The PL intensity was stable to $700^{\circ}C$, but drastically decreased to $1,100^{\circ}C$. The behavior of EPR intensity was very similar to the PL intensity. The EPR measurement showed that decreased intensity of the PL was caused to the oxidation from the ion $Eu^{2+}$ to $Eu^{3+}$ ions. The EPR spectrometer was powerful as a tool that could distinguish between the valence states of Eu atom as a dopant in various phosphors.

Ge-doped rnulticomponent oxide glasses were prepared by a conventional melting method. The change of micro structure in glasses was investigated by using PL (photoluminescence) and ESR (electron spin resonance). Before UV irradiation, the PL intensity increased according to germanium contents, but decreased the intensity as soon as UV irradiation. A changed property was recovered near it original properties when it was annealed. These photodarkening and thermal bleaching effect were observed by ESR intrument. These effect did not change the glass phase but vary only change of micro structure.

A total of 60 growth curves were generated with combinations of temperature, pH, and potassium lactate (PL) (60% (v/v) commercial solution) to determine the lag time (LT) and specific growth rate (SGR) of L. monocytogenes in broth. LT and SGR were significantly (P<0.05) affected by temperature, pH, concentration of PL, or the combined interaction of these factors. LT was extended and SGR was reduced significantly (P<0.05) by increased concentration of PL at lower temperature and pH. Listericidal effect was observed in the broth containing 2, 3, and 4% PL at pH 5.0 and $4^{\circ}C$. The antimicrobial activity of PL against L. monocytogenes increased when the pH of the medium was decreased at all temperatures tested. The results suggest that PL has antimicrobial properties to suppress the growth of L. monocytogenes. Potassium lactate has many potential applications as an antimicrobial additive in variety of refrigerated ready-to-eat foods.

The mutagenicities and antimutagenicities of butanol (PL I) and water (PL II) extracts from the filtrate of the cultured broth of Phellinus linteus were examined using the Ames/Salmonella test. No mutagenic activity of PL I and PL II was found in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98 and TA100, either with or without S9 activation. In contrast, PL I and PL II showed inhibitory effects on the mutagenic activities induced by the directly-acting mutagens, 4-nitro-o-phenylenediamine (NPD) using the tester strain TA98 and sodium azide (NaN3) using the tester strain TA 100 in the absence of S9 mix. PLI and PL II also showed inhibitory effects on the mutagenicities of the indirectly-acting mutagens, 2-aminofluorene (2-AF) using the tester strain TA98 and benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) using the tester strain TA 100 in the presence of S9. These results suggest that P. linteus has an antimutagenic activity and may play a role in the prevention of cancer.

InP/InGaP quantum structures (QSs) grown on GaAs substrates by a migration-enhanced molecular beam epitaxy method were studied as a function of growth temperature (T) using photoluminescence (PL) and emission-wavelength-dependent time-resolved PL (TRPL). The growth T were varied from $440^{\circ}C$ to $520^{\circ}C$ for the formation of InP/InGaP QSs. As growth T increases from $440^{\circ}C$ to $520^{\circ}C$, the PL peak position is blue-shifted, the PL intensity increases except for the sample grown at $520^{\circ}C$, and the PL decay becomes fast at 10 K. Emission-wavelength-dependent TRPL results of all QS samples show that the decay times at 10 K are slightly changed, exhibiting the longest time around at the PL peak, while at high T, the decay times increase rapidly with increasing wavelength, indicating carrier relaxation from smaller QSs to larger QSs via wetting layer/barrier. InP/InGaP QS sample grown at $460^{\circ}C$ shows the strongest PL intensity at 300 K and the longest decay time at 10 K, signifying the optimum growth T of $460^{\circ}C$.

In a recent effort to develop polymer light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as promising flat panel display components, measurements of reliable absolute photoluminescence (PL) and electroluminescence (EL) efficiency for polymer materials are required. In this work, we performed the measurement of PL and EL efficiency of luminescent polymers using an integrating sphere technique. The external PL efficiency of MEH-PPV was estimated to be 8 ($\pm$2)% together with the value of 0.02 1m/W for the external EL efficiency. This PL efficiency is in good agreement with published values, indicating that our PL efficiency measurements are somewhat legitimate. We believe this study might contribute to the research and development of organic materials for optoelectronic devices.

A highly sensitive and specific TaqMan real-time PCR was used to quantify hepatopancreatic parvovirus (HPV) type III infections in wild broodstocks and hatchery-reared postlarvae (PL) of Fenneropenaeus chinensis. Totals of 159 and 162 wild brooders from three locations were captured, and 140 and 180 PL were obtained from seven and six commercial hatcheries in 2007 and 2008, respectively. Among the three wild broodstock groups from 2007, only 1 group showed HPV infection and 3.2% of 159 brooders were positive for HPV infection. In 2008, HPV infections were observed from all three wild broodstock groups with $1.93{\times}10^4$ copies/mg tissue of pleopods. Of 162 brooders, 26.6% were positive for HPV infection. No PL from the two hatcheries collected in 2007 showed HPV infection, and PL from the rest of the five hatcheries had up to $1.74{\times}10^6$ copies/ng of DNA, and PL from three hatcheries showed HPV infections with over 1,000 copies/ng of DNA. The PL from all seven hatcheries collected in 2008 showed up to $2.10{\times}10^5$ HPV copies/ng of DNA. PL from two hatcheries showed less than 100 copies/ng of DNA, but PL from the rest of the hatcheries showed HPV infections with over 1,000 copies/ng of DNA. These results show that HPV type III is widely distributed in Korea in addition to previously reported HPV type I, and they can be effectively detected by type-specific realtime PCR.

The luminescence properties of $In_{0.5}Ga_{0.5}As/In_{0.5}Al_{0.5}As$ multiple quantum wells (MQWs) grown on $In_{0.5}Al_{0.5}As$ buffer layers have been studied by using photoluminescence (PL) and time-resolved PL measurements. A$1-{\mu}m$ thick $In_{0.5}Al_{0.5}As$ buffer layers were deposited on a 500 nm thick GaAs layer, followed by the deposition of the InGaAs/InAlAs MQWs. In order to investigate the effects of InAlAs buffer layer on the optical properties of the MQWs, four different temperature sequences are used for the growth of InAlAs buffer layer. The growth temperature for InAlAs buffer layer was varied from 320^{\circ}C to $580^{\circ}C$. The MQWs consist of three $In_{0.5}Ga_{0.5}$As wells with different well thicknesses (2.5 nm, 4.0 nm, and 6.0 nm thick) and 10 nm thick $In_{0.5}Al_{0.5}$As barriers. The PL spectra from the MQWs with InAlAs layer grown at lower temperature range ($320-580^{\circ}C$) showed strong peaks from 4 nm QW and 6 nm QW. However, for the MQWs with InAlAs buffer grown at higher temperature range ($320-480^{\circ}C$), the PL spectra only showed a strong peak from 6 nm QW. The strongest PL intensity was obtained from the MQWs with InAlAs layer grown at the fixed temperature of $480^{\circ}C$, while the MQWs with buffer layer grown at higher temperature from $530^{\circ}C$ to $580^{\circ}C$ showed the weakest PL intensity. From the emission wavelength dependence of PL decay times, the fast and slow decay times may be related to the recombination of carriers in the 4 nm QW and 6 nm QW, respectively. These results indicated that the growth temperatures of InAlAs layer affect the structural and optical properties of the MQWs.

CdTe quantum dots(QDs) were synthesized in aqueous solution by colloidal method. Photoluminescence(PL) spectra of the synthesized CdTe QDs revealed the intensity of PL peaks was stronger as the condensation time was longer. This result was thought because annealing effect by thermal energy transferred during condensation eliminated defects which act as traps and recombination centers in CdTe particle. PL intensity has stron dependence of Te precursor concentration. It confirmed the ratio of Te ion to Cd ion added during synthesis affected the particle size and size distribution of the CdTe QDs. Finally, the synthesized CdTe QDs were identified to be cubic structured CdTe quantum dots by X-ray diffraction(XRD).
