A 6-year-old male mongrel dog with a 7-month history of ulnar-radial nonunion fracture was treated with implantation of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2). The dog had received surgical correction three times prior to the admission but radiography of the affected limb revealed a typical figure of nonunion fracture. Glossly, the fractured ends were sclerotic and the area between the ends was filled with fibrous tissue. After debridement the shaft was fixed by an 10-hole plate. rhBMP-2 at a total dose of 256 micrograms was implanted with a synthetic carrier into the 10-mm defect formed by the debridement. Callus formation responding to rhBMP-2 was radiographically observed at 4 weeks after implantation and the defect bridged both fracture ends by 8 weeks after implantation. The plate was removed at 12 months after implantation. Any complications were not observed for 5 months after removal of the plate.

We have theoretically investigated steady-state carrier transport and current self-oscillation in negative-effective-mass (NEM) p$\^$+/pp$\^$+/diodes. The current self-oscillation here is a result of the formation and traveling of electric field domains in the p base having a NEM. The dependence of self-oscillating frequency on the applied dc voltage is obtained by detailed numerical simulations. In the calculations, we have considered the scatterings by carrier-impurity, carrier-acoustic phonon, carrier-polar-phonon, and carrier-nonpolar-phonon-hole interactions . This kind of NEM oscillator allows us to reach a current oscillation with terahertz frequency, thus it may be used as a broadband source of terahertz radiation.

Recently, due to the erosion damage that were generated increasingly at alloy metals of slide bearing by cavity of lubricating oil with tendency of high speed and high output of reciprocating engine, there is a need to study the process on the formation of cavitation erosion, and the characteristic of cavitation erosion at lubricating oil environments under various condition for marine ship. Therefore, the apparatus of cavitation erosion experiment used 20 KHz, $24 \mu m$ piezoelectric vibrator. The main results obtained through this test method are as follows: 1. The max. erosion rate at lubricating oil environments was related to the change of space, oil film thickness, and shown to tendency of gear oil>system oil>turbine oil>mixed oil environments with different viscosity. 2. The pitted hole by cavitation erosion at high viscosity oil environments became small and deep, and in addition to, they appeared to be wide and shallow at low viscosity.

We systematically investigated the negative-refraction effect for both TE and TM polarizations in annular photonic crystals. Since two polarization waves are excited in different bands, they result in different refractive angles, and so polarization beam splitters can be made of annular photonic crystals. It was found that, in comparison to normal square-lattice air-hole photonic crystals, annular photonic crystals have a much wider common frequency band between TE-1 and TM-2, which is quite beneficial to finding the overlap between the negative-refraction regions belonging to TE-1 and TM-2 respectively. Further analyses of equifrequency surfaces and the electric-field distribution of annular photonic crystals with different parameters have not only demonstrated how the filling factor of annular cells affects the formation of the common negative-refraction region between TE-1 and TM-2, but also revealed some ways to improve the performance of a polarization beam splitter based on the negative-refraction effect in an annular photonic crystal.

AGN feedback has been believed as playing an important role in the galaxy-super massive black hole (SMBH) co-evolution. AGN gas outflow can lead to AGN feedback. We investigate gas outflow of low-redshift AGNs by using blue shift/asymmetric index (BAI), and velocity offset of CIV line. By comparing these gas outflow indicators (BAI and velocity offset) to AGN properties (i.e., SMBH mass, bolometric luminosity, and Eddington ratio) and BLR gas metallicity, we find positive correlations among outflow, Eddington ratio, and metallicity. These relations are consistent with those observed at high-redshift. We discuss the possibility of the connection between previous star formation with current AGN accretion and outflow.

As a tracer of star formation history, metallicity provides crucial information for understanding galaxy evolution. In the case AGN, gas metallicity is often derived from the flux ratio of UV emission lines, i.e., NV1240 and CIV1549. To investigate the dependence of metallicity on AGN luminosity, black hole mass, and accretion rate, we measure NV1240 and CIV1549 line fluxes and derive gas metallicity of a sample of 73 local Seyfert 1 galaxies and QSOs, using archival UV spectra obtained with the HST and IUE. In this work, we will present the metallicity of local AGN and its relation with AGN properties.

In micro-drilling of brittle materials including glass, cracks occur at the exit surface. In drilling glass, the main type of crack is cone crack. Cone crack is generated by thrust force acting at the bottom surface of the workpiece. Cone crack size could be reduced by changing cutting conditions, but cone crack still existed. Two methods were proposed to prevent crack formation and perfect hole shapes were obtained. One method is attaching two glass plates with water and the other method is constraining two glass plates. The proposed methods eliminated tensile stress acting on the exit surface of glass and prevented crack propagation.

Indium tin oxide (ITO) was used as the top anode of top emission inverted organic light emitting diodes (TEIOLEDs). TEIOLEDs were fabricated by deposition of an aluminum bottom cathode, an N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-bis(3-methylphenyl)-1, 1'-diphenyl-4, 4 1'-diamine (TPD) hole transport layer, a tris-8-hydroxyquinoline aluminum ($Alq_3$) emission layer, and an ITO top anode sequentially. ITO was deposited by r.f. magnetron sputtering without $O_2$ flow during the deposition. After the deposition, the deposited ITO layer was kept under oxygen atmosphere for the oxidation. The characteristics of the TEOILED were affected significantly by the post-deposition oxidation condition.

The formation mechanism and photocatalytic properties of a multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)/$TiO_2$-based nanotube (TNTs) composite are investigated. The CNT/TNT composite is synthesized via a solution chemical route. It is confirmed that this 1-D nanotube composite has a core-shell nanotubular structure, where the TNT surrounds the CNT core. The photocatalytic activity investigated based on the methylene blue degradation test is superior to that of with pure TNT. The CNTs play two important roles in enhancing the photocatalytic activity. One is to act as a template to form the core-shell structure while titanate nanosheets are converted into nanotubes. The other is to act as an electron reservoir that facilitates charge separation and electron transfer from the TNT, thus decreasing the electron-hole recombination efficiency.

We investigate the electronic and magnetic properties in Cu-doped InN with the N vacancy ($V_N$) from first principles calculations. There is the long-range ferromagnetic order between two Cu atoms, attributed to the hole-mediated double exchange through the strong p-d interaction between the Cu atom and neighboring N atom. The system of $V_N$ defect in Cu-doped InN has the lowest formation energy. Due to the hybridization between the Cu-3d and $V_N$ states, the spin-polarization on the Cu atoms in the InN lattice is reduced by $V_N$ defect. So, it shows a weak ferromagnetic behavior.
