Copper(II) complexes with tetraoxo dithia tetraaza macrocyclic ligands; [18]ane$N_4S_2$: 1,4,10,13-tetraaza-5,9,14,18-tetraoxo-7,16-dithia-cyclooctadecane, [20]ane$N_4S_2$: 1,5,11,15-tetraaza-6,10,16,20-tetraoxo-8,18-dithia-cyclocosane,Bzo2[18]ane$N_4S_2$: dibenzo-1,4,10,13-tetraaza-5,9,14,18-tetraoxo-7,16-dithia-cyclooctadecane, Bzo2[20]ane$N_4S_2$: dibenzo-1,5,11,15-tetraaza-6,10,16,20-tetraoxo-8,18-dithia-cyclocosane; were entrapped in the nanopores of zeolite-Y by a two-step process in the liquid phase: (i) adsorption of [bis(diamine)copper(II)] (diamine = 1,2-diaminoethane, 1,3-diaminopropane, 1,2-diaminobenzene, 1,3-diaminobenzene); $[Cu(N-N)_2]^{2+}$-NaY; in the nanopores of the zeolite, and (ii) in situ template condensation of the copper(II) precursor complex with thiodiglycolic acid. The obtained complexes and new host-guest nanocomposite materials; $[Cu([18]aneN_4S_2)]^{2+}-NaY,\;[Cu([20]aneN_4S_2)]^{2+}-NaY,\;[Cu(Bzo_2[18]aneN_4S_2)]^{2+}-NaY,\;[Cu(Bzo_2[20]aneN_4S_2)]^{2+}$-NaY; have been characterized by elemental analysis FT-IR, DRS and UV-Vis spectroscopic techniques, molar conductance and magnetic moment data, XRD and, as well as nitrogen adsorption. Analysis of data indicates all of the complexes have been encapsulated within nanopore of zeolite Y without affecting the zeolite framework structure.

2-Ethylhexanoate compounds which contained Y, Er, Yb, Ba, and Cu were prepared separately. These metallo-organic compounds were dissolved together in the common solvent and the solution was homogeneous. From these solution, high $T_c$ superconductors $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta}(Y_{123})$, $ErBa_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta}(Er_{123})$, and $YbBa_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta}(Yb_{123})$ were prepared. XRD analysis showed that these superconductors were not single phase and contained some impurity phases including $YBa_2Cu_4O_8(Y_{124})$. This was also confirmed from the magnetic susceptibility measurement. Generally, critical temperatures were higher than that of the superconductors prepared by ceramic method. Volume diamagnetic susceptibility showed little variation compared to the specimen made by ceramic method.

In medical image processing field, object recognition is usually carried out by computerized processing of various input information such as brightness, shape, and pattern. If the information mentioned does not make sense, however, many limitations could occur with object recognition during computer processing. Therefore, this paper suggests effective object recognition method based on the magnetic resonance (MR) theory to resolve the basic limitations in computer processing. We propose the efficient method of robust gray-white matter segmentation by texture analysis through the Susceptibility Weighted Imaging (SWI) for contrast enhancement. As a result, an average area difference of 5.2%, which was higher than the accuracy of conventional region segmentation algorithm, was obtained.

We present a cost-effective dual polarization quadrature phase-shift coherent receiver module using a silica planar lightwave circuit (PLC) hybrid assembly. Two polarization beam splitters and two $90^{\circ}$ optical hybrids are monolithically integrated in one silica PLC chip with an index contrast of $2%-{\Delta}$. Two four-channel spot-size converter integrated waveguide-photodetector (PD) arrays are bonded on PD carriers for transverse-electric/transverse-magnetic polarization, and butt-coupled to a polished facet of the PLC using a simple chip-to-chip bonding method. Instead of a ceramic sub-mount, a low-cost printed circuit board is applied in the module. A stepped CuW block is used to dissipate the heat generated from trans-impedance amplifiers and to vertically align RF transmission lines. The fabricated coherent receiver shows a 3-dB bandwidth of 26 GHz and a common mode rejection ratio of 16 dB at 22 GHz for a local oscillator optical input. A bit error rate of $8.3{\times}10^{-11}$ is achieved at a 112-Gbps back-to-back transmission with off-line digital signal processing.

Microtubule actin crosslinking factor 1 (MACF1), a widely expressed cytoskeletal linker, plays important roles in various cells by regulating cytoskeleton dynamics. However, its role in osteoblastic cells is not well understood. Based on our previous findings that the association of MACF1 with F-actin and microtubules in osteoblast-like cells was altered under magnetic force conditions, here, by adopting a stable MACF1-knockdown MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cell line, we found that MACF1 knockdown induced large cells with a binuclear/multinuclear structure. Further, immunofluorescence staining showed disorganization of F-actin and microtubules in MACF1-knockdown cells. Cell counting revealed significant decrease of cell proliferation and cell cycle analysis showed an S phase cell cycle arrest in MACF1-knockdown cells. Moreover and interestingly, MACF1 knockdown showed a potential effect on cellular MTT reduction activity and mitochondrial content, suggesting an impact on cellular metabolic activity. These results together indicate an important role of MACF1 in regulating osteoblastic cell morphology and function.

Nanostructured materials have received attention due to their unique electronic, optical, optoelectrical, and magnetic properties as a results of their large surface-to-volume ratio and quantum confinement effects. Thermal chemical vapor deposition process has attracted much attention due to the synthesis capability of various structured nanomaterials during the growth of nanostructures. In this study, silicon oxide nanowires were grown on Si\$SiO_2$(300 nm)\Pt(5~40 nm) substrates by two-zone thermal chemical vapor deposition with the source material $TiO_2$ powder via vapor-liquid-solid process. The morphology and crystallographic properties of the grown silicon oxide nanowires were characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope. As results of analysis, the morphology, diameter and length, of the grown silicon oxide nanowires are depend on the thickness of the catalyst films. The grown silicon oxide nanowires exhibit amorphous phase.

The effects of annealing after deposition on the magnetic and magneto-optical properties of MnSbPt thin films prepared by rf sputtering were investigated. The MnSbPt alloy thin films were annealed in a vacuum with $10^{-5}$ Torr and the air, respectively, as a function of temperature and time. The films annealed at $300^{\circ}C$ for 4 hours was found to have the highest value of the saturation magnetization. The films annealed in the air did not show any thermal degradations, which indicates their chemical stability for the magneto-optical recording process. It was revealed that the $Mn_{43}Sb_{46}Pt_{11}$ films annealed at $300^{\circ}C$ for 4hours in a vacuum with $10^{-5}$ Torr exhibit high Kerr rotation angle of $0.8^{\circ}$ for the incident wavelength of 550nm, which is ascribed to the increase of the volume ratio of Clb phase. However, similar to the PtMnSb alloy thin films, these films are still horizontally magnetized and have the coercive field less than 400 Oe.

In this study, BiFe$O_3$-BaTi$O_3$ ceramics have been fabricated by a solid-state reaction method. The effects of BaTi$O_3$ content in the (1-x)BiFe$O_3$-xBaTi$O_3$ (x = 0.1, 0.2, 0.25, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5) system on crystal structure and magnetic, dielectric, and ferroelectric properties were investigated. Perovskite BiFe$O_3$ was stabilized through the formation of a solid solution with BaTi$O_3$. Rhombohedrally distorted structure (1-x)BiFe$O_3$-xBaTi$O_3$ ceramics showed strong ferromagnetism at x = 0.5. Dielectric and ferroelectric properties of the BiFe$O_3$-BaTi$O_3$ system also changed significantly upon addition of BaTi$O_3$. It was found that the maximum dielectric and ferroelectric properties were exhibited in the (1-x)BiFe$O_3$-xBaTi$O_3$ system at x = 0.25. This suggested the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) with the coexistence of both rhombohedral and cubic phases of the (1-x)BiFe$O_3$-xBaTi$O_3$ system at x = 0.25.

${\Alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ was accomplished by chemical method as low temperature as possible and the crystallographic and magnetic properties have been studied by Mossbauer spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The sample heated at 15$0^{\circ}C$ is found to have a Corundums symmetry with the hexagonal lattice constant a=8.26$\pm$0.05$\AA$, c=8.75$\pm$0.05$\AA$. The M$\"{o}$ssbauer spectra between the 4.2K and the room temperature show that the ${\Alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ crystallized with a single phase and fine sizes. The particle size distribution has the Gaussian distribution center at 98$\AA$ and the half width of 32$\AA$.TEX>.

Be-codoped GaMnAs layers were systematically grown via molecular beam epitaxy with varying Mn- and Be-flux. Mn flux was controlled to cover from solid solution type GaMnAs to precipitated GaMnAs. Two Be flux were chosen to exhibit semiconducting and metallic resistivity in the grown layers. The structural, electrical, and magnetic properties of GaAs:(Mn, Be) were investigated. The lightly Be-codoped GaMnAs layers showed ferromagnetism at room temperature, but did not reveal magnetotransport due to small magneto-resistance and high resistance of the matrix. However, room temperature magnetotransport could be observed in the degenerate Be-codoped GaMnAs layers, and which was assisted by the high conductivity of the matrix. The Be-codoping has promoted segregation of new ferromagnetic phase of MnGa as well as MnAs.
