This paper presents organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) with poly(3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT) semiconductor and several polymeric dielectric materials of poly(vinyl phenol)(PVP), poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA), and polyimide(PI) by using soluble process. The fabricated OTFT's have inverted staggered structure using transmission line method(TLM) pattern. In order to evaluate the electrical characteristics of the OTFT, capacitance-voltage(C-V) and current-voltage(I-V) were measured. C-V graphs were measured at several frequencies of 100 Hz, 1 kHz, and 1 MHz and ID-VDS graphs according to $V_{GS}$. The current on/off ratio and threshold voltage with each of PVP, PVA, and PI based OTFTs were measured to $10^3$, and -0.36, -0.41, and -0.62 V. Also, the calculated mobility with each of PVP, PVA, and PI was 0.097, 0.095, and 0.028 $cm^{2}V^{-1}s^{-1}$, respectively. In the cases of PVP and PVA, the hole mobility of P3HT was in excellent agreement with the published value of 0.1 $cm^{2}V^{-1}s^{-1}$.

This study investigated the effect of different electrical stunning methods on pH, water holding capacity(WHC), cooking loss(CL), meat color and blood spot rate in broilers. One-hundred and forty broiler chickens were slaughtered by 50, 65 and 90 voltage with the same electrical frequency(255 Hz) and stunning time(5 sec) in commercial abattoir. The ultimate pH of leg muscle and WHC of breast muscle decreased with increasing the stunning voltage. However, there were no significant differences in ultimate pH, WHC and CL of breast muscle, and ultimate pH of leg muscle. Lightness(L*) and yellowness(b*) values of leg muscle stunned with 90V, 255 Hz, 5 sec were higher than those stunned with 50V, 255 Hz for 5 sec(p<0.05). But there were no significant differences in color value on skin, breast and wing muscle. Our experiments showed that change of stunning voltage affected some broiler meat quality parameters. However, further research is necessary to examine the effects of stunning condition on broiler meat quality.

In recent years, concern has been raised about the technique of controlling electrical breakdown by using laser in many fields. Especially, laser has attracted much attention in the Electro-Discharge Macining(EDM) because of its many merits. Therefore, this research has been performed to obtain fundamental data relevant to discharge processing by using a pulsed Nd:YAG laser. The experiments of laser-guided dc discharge by laser radiation have been carried out at low air pressure ranging from 0.2 to 20 torr. The minimum laser-guided dc discharge voltage V\ulcorner at the given pressures P and distances D between an anode and a cathode was measured. It is found that the minimum laser-guided dc discharge voltage is much lower than the natural discharge voltage V\ulcorner\ulcorner, and the values of V\ulcorner and V\ulcorner as a function of P.D has a similar tendency. The laser output energy Eout decreases with input pulse duration tp increasing, and the more the value of tp increases, the higher that of V\ulcorner is obtained because the number of photons during the discharge time N decreases with t\ulcorner increasing. There is the time lag frequently when the discharge by laser radiation is misguided under the condition of the applied voltage less than V_G.min.

The sensitivity of polymer-based capacitive relative humidity (RH) sensors after irradiation with neutrons, electrons and protons was measured. Degradation consists of the decreasing of the upper RH limit that can be measured. At the same time, low RH-level sensitivity is almost stable. After 30 krad of absorption dose, RH cut off is equal to 85% of max value, after 60 krad-40%. Degradation reduces after annealing which indicates high radiation sensitivity of the internal circuit in comparison to RH-sensing polymer film.

This study was carried out to investigate the characteristics of chemical components and precipitation at Kimhae area from March, 1992 to June, 1994. The pH values, concentration of soluble ions($Cl^-$, $NO_2^-}$ $NO_3^-}$, $NO_4^{2-}$-, $PO_4^{3-}$. $F^-$, $Mg^{2+}$, $Ca^{2+}$, $Mn^{2+}$, $K^+) and non-soluble metals(Cr.Si. Zn, Pb, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mg, Ad. V. Cal were measured by pH meter, IC (ion Chromatography) and ICP(Inductively Coupled Plasma). The data were analyzed by the dally. hourly distribution characteristics of acidity and chemical components, as well as the correlation between them. The results are as follows. 1. The pH range of precipitation was from 3.45 to 6.80 in Kimhae area. and average value was pH 4.62 and main chemical components were $SO_4^{2-}$, $Cl^-$, $NO_3^-$. The highest pH value and concentration appeared in initial rain, which might result from urbanlzation and industrialization in this area and long term transportation from China. 2. The hourly correction distribution of main anions related to pH value In the rainwater showed $SO_4^{2-}$ > $NO_3^-$ > $Cl^-$. Hourly concentration of heavy metal and each ion was highly correlated with pH in the precipitation.

Sprague Dawley rats were exposed to electric fields (6,000 V, 10 kV/m, 30 min/day, 6 days per week) and injected strontium 90 (681 kbq/rat, one time) through abdominal cavity (strontium 90 and electric field complexed exposure group). In parallel, series with the electric field exposure only, strontium 90 injection only and control groups were run. Every group was consisted of 110 rats (55 male and 55 female). This animal experiment was performed from May to December in 1993. This results were conducted to investigate the effect of electric field for 11 weeks. The results are summarized as follows: 1. Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity in rat's bone marrow cells: The ODC values was significantly increased in Sr$^{90}$ injection group and Sr$^{90}$ and electric field complexed exposure group as compared with that of control group (p<0.05). The ODC value was significantly decreased in electric field and Sr$^{90}$ complexed exposure group in comparison with Sr$^{90}$ injection group (p<0.05). The ODC values of electric field only exposure group was not different to that of control group (p>0.05). 2. The amount of Sr$^{90}$ accumulation in the femur, kidney and spleen:The accumulation amount of Sr$^{90}$ in the femur of Sr$^{90}$ injection group represented higher value than that of electric field and Sr$^{90}$ complexed exposure group (p<0.05). In the kidney and spleen, the difference between electric field and Sr$^{90}$ complexed exposure group and Sr$^{90}$ injection group wasn't observed. 3. The counts of white cells in blood of Sr9?injection group was decreased as compared with the value from control group and electric field and Sr$^{90}$ complexed exposure group (p<0.05). The rat's body weight, red blood cell counts and the weight data of liver, kidney and spleen did not show differences among four groups.

Al-doped p-type ZnO films were fabricated on n-Si (100) and homo-buffer layers in pure oxygen at $450^{\circ}C$ of by RF magnetron sputtering. Target was ZnO ceramic mixed with 2 wt% $Al_2O_3$. XRD spectra show that the Al-doped ZnO thin films have ZnO crystal structure and homo-buffer layers are beneficial to Al-doped ZnO films to grow along c-axis. Hall Effect experiments with Van der Pauw configuration show that p-type carrier concentrations are ranged from $1.66{\times}10^{16}$ to $4.04{\times}10^{18}\;cm^{-3}$, mobilities from 0.194 to $2.3\;cm^2V^{-1}s^{-1}$ and resistivities from 7.97 to $18.4\;{\Omega}cm$. p-type sample has density of $5.40\;cm^{-3}$ which is smaller than theoretically calculated value of $5.67\;cm^{-3}$. XPS spectra show that Ols has O-O and Zn-O structures and Al2p has only Al-O structure. P-ZnO:Al/n-ZnO:Al junctions were fabricated by magnetron sputtering. V-I curves show that the p-n junctions have rectifying characteristics.

We present the spectroscopic study of the globular clusters (GCs) in the massive elliptical galaxy M86 in the Virgo galaxy cluster. Using the spectra obtained from the Multi-Object Spectroscopy (MOS) mode of Faint Object Camera and Spectrograph (FOCAS) on the Subaru Telescope, we measure the radial velocities for 56 GCs in M86. The mean velocity of the GCs is derived to be $<v_p>=-335{\pm}41km/s$, which is different from the velocity of the M86 nucleus ($<v_{gal}>=-224{\pm}5km/s$) within ${\sim}2.5{\sigma}$. The mean velocity ($<v_p>=-342{\pm}60km/s$) of 33 blue GCs in M86 is similar to that ($<v_p>=-314{\pm}71km/s$) of 23 red GCs. We also derive the mean velocities of the GC systems in other 16 nearby early-type galaxies (ETGs) from the radial velocity data in the literature. The mean value of the differences between the mean velocity of the GC systems in each galaxy and the nucleus velocity of their host galaxies, is almost zero except the M86 GC system. But the scatter of the differences in the blue GC system is larger than that in the red GC system. We will discuss these results in the context of GC formation in ETGs.
