To produce stable polymer coating layer using the interaction between metal stent and polymer layer, Ahx-HSAB was synthesized by coupling 6-aminoheanoic acid (Ahx) with N-Hydroxy succinimidyl 4-azidobenzonate (HSAB) containing photo reactive group. Then, Ahx-HSAB was applied to self·assembled monolayer (SAM) on $TiO_2$-coated surface, since one end of Ahx-HSAB was carboxyl acid which was known to be able to interact with $TiO_2$ surface. That SAM layer was incubated in 1% polycaprolacton (PCL) solution and photoreacted by ultraviolet light (254 nm) to produce the chemical bond between SAM and polymer layer, followed by PCL polymer coating ({\sim}5\;{\mu}m$) by the method of spray coating. The surface change was investigated by measuring of contact angle of the surface. The contact angle values of stainless steel (SS) surface, $TiO_2$-coated surface, SAM layer by Ahx-HSAB, photoreacted surface with PCL and PCL layer by spray coating were 70.48${\pm}$1.89, 38.57${\pm}$3.31, 60.14${\pm}$2.21, 54.91${\pm}$2.70 and 56.47${\pm}$2.12, respectively. The stability of polymer layers was tested by incubation of PCL-coated plates in 0.1M PBS buffer (pH 7.4, 0.05%, Tween 80) with vigorous shaking (200 rpm). While the poiymer layer prepared by these processes showed the intact surface morphology over 3 days, the polymer layers prepared by spray coating of PCL onto SS plate (control 1) and $TiO_2$-coated SS plate (control 2) were Peeled off in 3 days. Thus, the polymer coating method using SAM and photoreaction seems to be a effective method to obtain the stable polymer layer onto SS surface.

In this study, we describe the development of a simple and efficient method for cell lysis via the insertion of a bacteriophage lambda lysis gene cluster into the pET22b expression vector in the following order; the T7 promoter, a gene for a target protein intended for production, Sam7 and R. This insertion of R and Sam7 into pET22b exerted no detrimental effects on cellular growth or the production of a target protein. The induction of the T7 promoter did not in itself result in the autolysis of cells in culture but the harvested cells were readily broken by freezing and thawing. We compared the efficiency of the cell lysis technique by freezing and thawing to that observed with sonication, and determined that both methods completely disintegrated the cells and released proteins into the solution. With our modification of pET22b, the lysis of cells became quite simple, efficient, and reliable. This strategy may prove useful for a broad variety of applications, particularly in experiments requiring extensive cell breakage, including library screening and culture condition exploration, in addition to protein purification.

${\beta}-Lactamase$ was isolated from the culture filtrate of the penicillin producing strain, Penicillium chrysogenum Q176. When the pH of the medium was adjusted to 5.0 at the start of culture, a rapid increase in pH accompanied by the synthesis of penicillin was observed in the first $2{\sim}4$ days. When the pH of medium was brought to 6.0 or 7.0 the opposite was observed: high yield of the enzyme and little of the antibiotics in the medium. The optimum enzyme activi­ty was at a temperature of $40^{\circ}C$ and around pH 7.0. A partially purified enzyme was assayed on several different substrates including penicillins V and G, 6-aminopenicillanic acid, cephalospo­rin C. The V max values calculated were 24.5, 20.4, 7.6, and 6.1 mmoles/hour, and the $K_m$, values were 16.4, 12.6, 7.5, and 6.9 mM in the order given.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of High Voltage Pulsed Current on pH in the healing wound bed. Seven adults, four males and three females, were studied with a total of fifty-five viable treatment sessions. Using a Cardy Digital pH meter, we measured the pH in the wound bed following saline rinse both prior to treatment and after a forty-five minute treatment. Analysis of all viable records(n=54) did not show a significant change in pH(p=0.82). The mean pH change in NoN-Smokers(-0.14) was more acidic when compared to the mean pH change in smokers(0.27) which was more alkaline.

This experiment was performed to confirm the hypothesis that LLLT had biostimulation effect for all kinds of cells and there would be differences in the growth of cells among different types of pulsed laser. 360 samples were used in this study. The samples were randomly divided in 6 groups according to the pulse type : quasi continuous type (CW), pulse 1(P1), pulse 7(P7), pulse 9(P9), pulse 15(P15) and shame-irradiated control(Co) groups. Energy fluences of all experimental groups, P1, P7, P9, P15 and CW were 2.12, 2.12, 6.37, 57.32 and 31.85 mj/cm2 respectively. All samples were irradiated for every 1 minute at 0, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 hours. Ten samples of each group were sacrificed at 0 and every 12 hours and then the optical density of all samples was measured with the spectrophotometer. As a result, some types of pulses showed significant differences among groups. The increase of cells were markedly stimulated with laser irradiation in P7 and P9 groups, while inhibited in CW, P1, and P15 groups compared with control group. It is therefore, suggested that specific laser pulse should be recommanded to have the biostimulation effects on the specific tissue or cells, although the biostimulation effect is does dependant.

In the glass/TCO/p-i-n a-Si/Al type of amorphous silicon solar cell, the effects on solar cell efficiency and metastability for the various kinds of TCO analyzed by SAM and ESCA, which was used to measure the diffusion profiles of In and Sn and the Fermi energy shifts in the TCO/p interface respectively. Indium which diffused into a-Si p-layer did not have any significant effects on the Fermi level shift of p-layer when the content of $B_2H_6/SiH_4$ in p-layer was at 1 gas%. The cell fabricated on $SnO_2$ turned out to have the best cell photovoltaic characteristics. ITO fabricated by electron beam deposition system, which was shown to have the greatest rate of diffusion of Indium in ITO/p interface produced the worst metastability among the cells tested.

In order to reflect the aggregation situation in the aggregation process, aggregation based on situation assessment (ASA) method was proposed in [1]. It consists of the situation assessment model (SAM) and the ASA algorithm. In the SAM, the value of parameter, p, is transformed into the nearest integer value [1]. The integer-typed output of SAM is used as input for an aggregation. The integer-typed output of SAM indicates the current degree of aggregation situation. The ASA algorithm produces at most finite several aggregation results between min and max. In the sequel, the ASA method can not properly handle the applications with the more sophisticated aggregation results between min and max. In order to solve this problem, we propose two improved ASA (I-ASA) methods. In these I-ASA methods, we allow the value of parameter of SAM to be a real number, and suggest two improved ASA algorithms to make continuous aggregation results between min and max. These I-ASA methods can handle both a precise aggregation and an approximate aggregation. Therefore, when compared to the ASA method [1], the proposed I-ASA methods have advantages in that they can handle the applications with the more sophisticated aggregation results and can be used in the more general applications for aggregations.
