Chlorella vulgaris was isolated from the Nile River, Qalubia Governorate, Egypt, for possible use in biodiesel production. BG-II nutrient growth media was used for isolation and laboratory growth. Identification was performed via 18S rRNA gene amplification, followed by sequencing. The alga was exposed to UV-C (254 nm) for 15, 30, and 45 s to improve dry weight accumulation and to increase the oil production. Daily measurements of dry weight ($g{\cdot}l^{-1}$) were performed; oil content and volumetric lipid productivity were also determined. UV-C exposure led to an increase in the volumetric lipid productivity by 27, 27.3, and $32.4mg{\cdot}l^{-1}{\cdot}d^{-1}$ with 15, 30, and 45 s, respectively, as compared with the control, which resulted in $18mg{\cdot}l^{-1}{\cdot}d^{-1}$. Of the examined mutants, the one with the highest productivity was re-irradiated by UV-C (254 nm) for 15, 30, 45, and 60 s. For 15 s of exposure time, the oil content increased to 34%, while it was 31% at 30 s; further, it decreased to 22% at 45 and 60 s exposures. The fatty acid methyl ester profile was 82.22% in the first mutant at 45 s, compared with the wild strain that contained a total of 66.01% of FAs. Furthermore, the highest levels of polyunsaturated fatty acid methyl ester were observed in the mutant exposed for 45 s, and it reached 11.41%, which reduced the cetane number to 71.3.

ZnO has been extensively studied for optoelectronic applications such as blue and ultraviolet (UV) light emitters and detectors, because it has a wide band gap (3.37 eV) anda large exciton binding energy of ~60 meV over GaN (~26 meV). However, the fabrication of the light emitting devices using ZnO homojunctions is suffered from the lack of reproducibility of the p-type ZnO with high hall concentration and mobility. Thus, the ZnO-based p-n heterojunction light emitting diode (LED) using p-Si and p-GaN would be expected to exhibit stable device performance compared to the homojunction LED. The n-ZnO/p-GaN heterostructure is a good candidate for ZnO-based heterojunction LEDs because of their similar physical properties and the reproducibleavailability of p-type GaN. Especially, the reduced lattice mismatch (~1.8 %) and similar crystal structure result in the advantage of acquiring high performance LED devices with low defect density. However, the electroluminescence (EL) of the device using n-ZnO/p-GaN heterojunctions shows the blue and greenish emissions, which are attributed to the emission from the p-GaN and deep-level defects. In this work, the n-ZnO:Ga/p-GaN:Mg heterojunction light emitting diodes (LEDs) were fabricated at different growth temperatures and carrier concentrations in the n-type region. The effects of the growth temperature and carrier concentration on the electrical and emission properties were investigated. The I-V and the EL results showed that the device performance of the heterostructure LEDs, such as turn-on voltage and true ultraviolet emission, developed through the insertion of a thin intrinsic layer between n-ZnO:Ga and p-GaN:Mg. This observation was attributed to a lowering of the energy barriers for the supply of electrons and holes into intrinsic ZnO, and recombination in the intrinsic ZnO with the absence of deep level emission.

해양 교통안전을 위하여 해상에서선박에 필요한 정보를 제공하기 위하여 UN 등 국제규정에 의해 지시와 규제 및 안내표지판을 설치하고 있으며, 야간에도 항해선박에서 식별이 용이하도록 LED, 역반사재, 표시판의 조사 등 다양한 방법에 의해 식별을 강화하고 있으나, 항해자의 눈부심, 발광 빛의 번지는 형상, 전력의 공급 등 취약적인 요소가 나타나고 있는 실정이다. 이 연구에서는 해상에 설치되는 안전신호 표시판을 항해자가 보다 분명하게 식별할 수 있고, 해상에서 독립적인 전력을 획득하여 빌광할 수 있도록 연구 개발하였다.

There is provided white light illumination system including a radiation source, a first luminescent material having a peak emission wavelength of about 575 to about 620 nm, a second luminescent material having a peak emission wavelength of about 495 to about 550 nm, which is different from the first luminescent material and a third luminescent material having a peak emission wavelength of about 420 to about 480 nm, which is different from the first and second luminescent materials. The LED may be a UV LED and the luminescent materials may be a blend of three phosphors. A human observer perceives the combination of the blue, green and red phosphor emissions as white light.

$M(WO_4)$:Eu phosphor as a red emitting phosphor for LED was prepared by solid state method. Tungstate phosphors were exited at long wavelength ultra violet region. In special, the emission of Eu-doped $M(WO_4)$:Eu phosphor under the excitation of 410nm appeared at 613nm. $M(WO_4)$:Eu phosphors with M : Group 1 had a higher excitation intensity than those of the phosphors with M: Group 2 at long-wavelength UV.

Siloles of considerable current interest, both because of their unusual electronic properties and because of their possible application as electron-transporting materials in devices such as light-emitting diodes (LED's) and chemical sensor. Siloles have been characterized by NMR, FT-IR, and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy. Their optical characteristics have been also investigated using photoluminescence spectroscopy. Thus siloles exhibit a low reduction potential and a low-lying LUMO energy level, attributed to ${\sigma}^*-{\pi}^*$ conjugation arising from the interaction between the ${\sigma}^*$ orbital of the sigma-bonded silicon atom and the $\pi^*$ orbital of the butadiene moiety of the ring.

In Projection Stereolithography Apparatus (PSLA), Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) and Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) are used as a beam pattern generator. The DMD shows high resolution, but it is mostly applied in micro stereolithography due to high cost and fabricable area. In LCD, the size of pattern beam is freely controlled due to various panel sizes. The LCD, however, has some limitations such as short life time by the high power light source, non-uniform light intensity of pattern beam and low transmittance of UV-light. To solve these problems in LCD-based PSLA, a Scanbeam-SLA with LCD of 19 inches and visible LED-array is developed. In this system, the light module works like a scanner for uniform illumination. The system configuration, working principle and fabrication examples are addressed in this study.

The phototactic behavioral responses of Tribolium castaneum adults to light-emitting diodes (LEDs) of seven different wavelengths were determined under various conditions (light exposure times, light sources, and luminance intensities) and compared with those of a black light bulb (BLB) under laboratory conditions. Based on the attractive rate (%) of T. castaneum adults under optimal conditions (50 lx and an 48 h exposure time) in the dark, red LED ($625{\pm}10nm$) exhibited the highest potential attractive rate (97.8 %), followed by yellow ($590{\pm}5nm$, 68.9 %), green ($520{\pm}5nm$, 55.6 %), infrared (IR) (730 nm, 54.4 %), white (450-620 nm, 41.1 %), blue ($470{\pm}10nm$, 34.4 %), and ultraviolet (UV) (365 nm, 0.06 %) LEDs. In comparison, red LED (97.8 %) was approximately 3.4 times more attractive to T. castaneum adults than the BLB (28.9 %). These results indicate that a red LED trap could be useful to control T. castaneum adults.

Bioassay-directed fractionation of Draba nemorosa led to the isolation of two new phenolic glycosides, 1-O- (sinapoyl)-glucitol (2) and 1,3-disinapoylgentiobiose (5) along with five known phenolic glycosides (1, 3, 4, 6, and 7). Their structures were characterized based on spectroscopic methods (2D NMR, HRTOFMS, IR, and UV). The isolated compounds showed antioxidant activities (IC50) in the range of 14-98 mM which were estimated by DPPH radical-scavenging assay.

To enhance near UV-visible absorption region and to applied phosphor convert-white LEOs (PC-WLEDs), a red phosphor composed of ${Y_2}{SiO_5}:\;EU^{3+}$, $Bi^{3+}$ compounds was prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction. The photoluminescence (PL) shown that samples were excited by near UV light 395 nm for measurement of PL spectra. Emission spectra of samples have shown red emissions at 612 nm ($^5D_0{\to}^7F_2$). The enhanced near $UV{\sim}$ visible excitation spectrum with a broad band centered at 258 nm and 282 nm originated in the transitions toward the charge transfer state (CTS) due to the $Eu^{3+}-Bi^{3+}-O^{2-}$ interaction. The other excitation band at $350\;nm{\sim}480\;nm$, corresponding to the transitions $^7F_0{\to}^5L_9$ (364 nm), $^7F_0{\to}^5G_3$ (381 nm), $^7F_0{\to}^5L_6$ (395 nm), $^7F_0{\to}^5D_3$, (415 nm) and $^7F_0{\to}^5D_2$ (466 nm), occurred due to enhanced the f-f transition increasing $Bi^{3+}$ and $Eu^{3+}$ ions. The PL intensity increased with increased as concentration of $Bi^{3+}$ and the emission intensity becomes with a maximum at 0.125 mol.
