A novel near infrared(NIR) absorbing dyes were synthesized by using bis-aldehyde formyl aromatic compounds and heteroaryl derivatives with the reactive methylene group. These dyes provided a range of the NIR wavelength region about 720 nm value. Also, the light absorbing properties of these dyes were investigated in our experiment results. In generally, these NIR colorants may be potential used for optical recording media, DNA sequencing probe and laser beam printings.

Several squarylium dyes, derived from benzothiazole and indoles, were synthesized as a potential NIR dyes with absorption in the 700-900 nm region. These chromophores were induced much more bathochromic shift in the absorption maximum of the compound relative to the neutral parent squarylium dyes which we were described before. The squaryliums offer a convenient way of linking the dye to functional substrates and may be an advantage to be potential chromophores for NIR-absorbing, NIR-Cut-off filter, PDT(Photo Dynamic Therapy) materials.

There have been many questionnaires, catecholeamins analysis and bio-signal analysis to analyze human stress condition through out the years, and especially researches in bio-signal analysis have been actively increasing. The purpose of our research is Quantitative analysis of stress with synthesis of bio-signals. The stress status was estimated using the bio-signals and fuzzy theory which combines these signals and physiological knowledge. Stress was estimated by a 'coin-stacking' experiment with two type-relax and stress status. To do the experiment EMG, respiration, periphery temperature, heart rate and skin conductances were used to evaluate human stress stages. The system was tested to 10 healthy persons and achieved a template of a stress progress and stress variations were classified to 4 steps by continuous or rising status of stress progress.

In this study, we demonstrate for the first time a bio-inspired Cell-Microsystem to manipulate and detect living cells. Cultured retinal pigment epithelial cell line (ARPE-19) was directed to grow in a pre-defined Cell-Microsystem. The three-dimensional micropillars of 5 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in height and diameter of the Cell-Microsystem were fabricated. Inhibited DNA synthesis and transformed cell morphology were observed throughout the culture period. The demonstration of manipulating and detecting living cells by the surface topography is a new approach, and it will be very useful for the future design of cell-based biosensors and bioactuators.

Synthesis of carbon fibers from cotton fiber by pyrolysis process has been described. Synthesis parameters are optimized using Taguchi optimization technique. Synthesized carbon fibers are used for studying hydrogen adsorption capacity using Seivert's apparatus. Transmission electron microscopy analysis and X-ray diffraction of carbon fiber from cotton suggested it to be very transparent type material possessing graphitic nature. Carbon synthesized from cotton fibers under the conditions predicted by Taguchi optimization methodology (no treatment of cotton fiber prior to pyrolysis, temperature of pyrolysis $800^{\circ}C$, Argon as carrier gas and paralyzing time for 2 h) exhibited 7.32 wt% hydrogen adsorption capacity.

For the manufacture of iron oxide, the hydro-process and the pyre-process are conventionally used. Both processes use a huge amount of chemicals in reaction which affect the environment harmfully. This paper introduced the new environment friendly processes; the bio-chemical process and the self propagating high temperature synthesis process.

Presented study describes the synthesis of photo cross-linkable and water soluble hydroxyethyl starch hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HESHEMA) samples with different degree of substitution (DS) by functionalization of hydroxyethyl starch (HES) with hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) or hydroxyethyl methacrylate carbonylimidazole (HEMACI) in DMSO using two different routes. It was revealed that the reaction time for HESHEMA synthesis can be reduced from 5 days to 24 h by conducting the reaction at $80^{\circ}C$ instead of at room temperature. Solubility of HESHEMA was found to be dependent on DS which in turn was dependent on ratio between HES and HEMA or HEMACI. HESHEMA samples with DS > 0.24 depicted insoluble in water, whereas the samples with DS < 0.05 did not form appreciable gel. HESHEMA samples with appropriate DS were converted into hydrogels by cross-linking polymer chains under UV radiations and resulting HESHEMA hydrogels showed swelling up to 1200%. Application of HESHEMA in controlled drug delivery was investigated by diffusion based encapsulation of Ondansetron, a serotonin 5-$HT_3$ receptor antagonist drug, mainly used for nausea and vomiting treatment.
