Quantum dots(QDs) with their tunable luminescence properties are uniquely suited for use as lumophores in light emitting device. We investigate the microstructural effect on the electroluminescence(EL). Here we report the use of inorganic semiconductors as robust charge transport layers, and demonstrate devices with light emission. We chose mechanically smooth and compositionally amorphous films to prevent electrical shorts. We grew semiconducting oxide films with low free-carrier concentrations to minimize quenching of the QD EL. The hole transport layer(HTL) and electron transport layer(ETL) were chosen to have carrier concentrations and energy-band offsets similar to the QDs so that electron and hole injection into the QD layer was balanced. For the ETL and the HTL, we selected a 40-nm-thick $ZnSnO_x$ with a resistivity of $10{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$, which show bright and uniform emission at a 10 V applied bias. Light emitting uniformity was improved by reducing the rpm of QD spin coating.At a QD concentration of 15.0 mg/mL, we observed bright and uniform electroluminescence at a 12 V applied bias. The significant decrease in QD luminescence can be attributed to the non-uniform QD layers. This suggests that we should control the interface between QD layers and charge transport layers to improve the electroluminescence.

Semiconductors with ferromagnetism at room temperature has been actively searched for in recent years; a prospect of devices using both charge and spin continuously gives impetus to the activities. Transition metal doped oxide materials have been of particular interest. Co substituted ZnO [1] and TiO$_2$ [2] thin films, for example, were reported to show ferromagnetic properties at room temperature. However, various studies do not seem to converge on a definite picture [3,4,5]. The issue is rather fundamental: whether a system shows ferromagnetic properties at all, and in case it does, whether the system possesses a close coupling between magnetism and transport properties. In this talk, we shall assess the current status of transition metal doped oxide materials as room temperature ferromagnetic semiconductors.

In order to characterize the chloroplasts of Korean ginseng as a semi-shade plant and radish as a sun plant, effects of growth light intensity on photosynthetic electron transport (PS) activity in chloroplasts and superoxide (O2.-) production in thylakoid membrane by irradiation were investigated. High-light chloroplasts of both plants showed higher PS activities than those grown under ow growth light intensity. High PS II and low PS I activities in ginseng chloroplasts (ratio of PS II/PS I : 1.1) were observed, but radish chloroplasts showed low PS II and high PS I activities (ratio of PS II/PS I : 0.3). PS II activity of both plants was little affected by temperature in range of 15-35$^{\circ}C$. Activities of whole -chain (PS II+I) in ginseng and PS I in radish were increased at high temperature (4$0^{\circ}C$). Preincubation of chloroplasts at 4$0^{\circ}C$ during 30 min, as a mild heat stress, caused rapid decrease in PS II and PS II+I activities of both plants. However PS I activity was not decreased in ginseng and rather increased in radish. O2.- production (NBT reduction) in Mehler reaction in the thylakoid membrane was inhibited by DCMU in both plants. DMBIB inhibited O2.- production in ginseng, but radish was insensitive to DMBIB. Electron flow system in ginseng thylakoid membrane was more susceptible to damage of photooxidation than that of radish.

Objectives: The present study was undertaken to determine the modulatory effect of taurine on the liver mitochondrial enzyme system with reference to mitochondrial lipid peroxidation (LPO), antioxidants, major tricarboxylic acid cycle enzymes, and electron transport chain enzymes during 7,12-dimethyl benz[a]anthracene (DMBA) induced breast cancer in Sprague-Dawley rats. Methods: Animals in which breast cancer had been induced by using DMBA (25 mg/kg body weight) showed an increase in mitochondrial LPO together with decreases in enzymic antioxidants (superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione reductase (GR) and glutathione-S-transferase (GST)), non-enzymic antioxidants (reduced glutathione (GSH), vitamin C, and vitamin E), in citric acid cycle enzymes (isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICDH), alpha ketoglutarate dehydrogenase (alpha KDH), succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) and malate dehydrogenase (MDH)), and in electron transport chain (ETC) complexes. Results: Taurine (100 mg/kg body weight) treatment decreased liver mitochondrial LPO and augmented the activities/levels of enzymic, and non-enzymic antioxidants, tricarboxylic acid cycle enzymes and ETC complexes. Conclusion: The results of our present study demonstrated the chemotherapeutic efficacy of taurine treatment for DMBA-induced breast carcinomas.

The primary culture of human nasal epithelial cell monolayer was performed on a Transwell. The effect of various factors on the tight junction formation was observed in order to develop an in vitro experimental system for nasal transport studies. Human nasal epithelial cells, collected from human normal inferior turbinates, were plated onto diverse inserts. After 4 days, media of the apical surface was removed for air-liquid interface (ALI) culture. Morphological characteristics was observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). A polyester membrane of $0.4\;{\mu}m$ pore size was determined as the most effective insert based on the change in the transepithelial electric resistance (TEER) value as well as the $^{14}C-mannitol$ transport study. The ALI method was effective in developing the tight junction as observed in the further increase in the TEER value and reduction in the permeability coefficient $(P_{app})$ of $^{14}C-mannitol$ transport. Results of the transport study of a model drug, budesonide, showed that the primary culture system developed in this study could be further developed and applied for in vitro nasal transport studies.

Photoinduced electron transport process in nature such as photoelectric conversion and long-range electron transfer in photosynthetic organisms are known to occur not only very efficiently but also unidirectionally through the functional groups of biomolecules. The basic principles in the development of new functional devices can be inspired from the biological systems such as molecular recognition, electron transfer chain, or photosynthetic reaction center. By mimicking the organization of the biological system, molecular electronic devices can be realized $artificially^{1)}$. The nano-fabrication technology of biomolecules was applied to the development of nano-protein chip for simultaneously analyzing many kinds of proteins as a rapid tool for proteome research. The results showed that the self-assembled protein layer had an influence on the sensitivity of the fabricated bio-surface to the target molecules, which would give us a way to fabricate the nano-protein chip with high sensitivity. The results implicate that the biosurface fabrication using self-assembled protein molecules could be successfully applied to the construction of nanoscale bio-photodiode and nano-protein chip based on electrical detection.

The effects of conduction band offset on 2 dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in N-InAlAs(AlAsSb)/InGaAs/InAlAs (AlAsSb) metamorphic heterostructures (MMHS) are studied. A combination of the Shubnikov-deHaas oscillations and the Hall measurements is used to investigate the electron transport properties of these structures. The mobility in the second subband is higher than that in the first subband in all heterostructures. This is attributed to the fact that electrons in the first subband we, on average, closer to the interface and are therefore scattered more strongly by ionized impurities. The results suggest that intersubband scattering rate is more dominant in structures with higher conduction band offset whereas alloy scattering is found to be more dominant in the higher band offset system.

광합성 전자전달저해제의 탐색을 위한 biorational biorational screening 방법으로 광합성 박테리아의 일종인 cyanobacteria의 표준형과 $D_1$단백질의 구성 아미노산이 변환된 변이주 Di-1, G-264, Di-22, TRY-5를 사용하여 기존 약제의 혼합효과와 몇가지 합성화합물의 Hill반응 저해활성을 측정 조사하였고, 또한 시금치로 부터 분리한 chloroplast와 cyanobacteria로 부터 분리한 thylakoid membrane에 대한 기존 제초제의 반응성을 조사하였다. 1. 광합성억제형 제초제에 대한 반응성 비교에서 cyanobacteria로 부터 분리한 thylakoid membrane이 시금치로 부터 분리한 chloroplast보다 약제에 대하여 민감한 반응을 나타내어 광합성 전자전달저해제의 탐색을 위한 재료로 보다 적합하였다. 2. Diuron에 대하여 wild type보다 Di-22와 D-5 변이주는 각각 약 2,000배와 800배의 저항성을 나타내었고 atrazine에 대하여는 G-264 변이주만이 약 1,000배의 저항성을 나타내었으며, 기타 네 약제에 대하여는 뚜렷한 저항성을 나타내는 변이주가 없었다. 3. D1 단백절의 264번 위치의 serine이 다른 아미노산으로 치환된 Di-1과 D-22 및 G-264 변이주에 대한 diuron과 atrazine의 혼합처리 효과를 검토한 결과 상호 경합적으로 작용하였으며 그 정도는 G-264 변이주에 대해서 가장 뚜렷하게 나타났다. 그러나 diurone과 atrazine의 혼합처리에 의한 thermoluminescence band의 변화는 인정할 수 없었다. 4. 변이주 Di-1과 D-22는 dinoseb에 대해서 저항성을 나타내지 않았으나. dinoseb과 diuron의 혼합처리시 diuron에 대한 저항성이 크게 약화되었다.

We consider the system is subject to the linearly polarized oscillatory external field. We study the optical quantum transition Line shapes(QTLS) which show the absorption power and the quantum transition line widths(QTLW) of electron-piezoelectric phonon interacting system. We analyze the magnetic field dependence of the QTLS and the QTLW in various cases. In order to analysis the quantum transition, we compare the magnetic field dependence of the QTLW and the QTLS of two transition process, the intra-Landau level transition process and the inter-Landau level transition process.
