  • The effect of wtlitc light on unaeraten growth of Baker's yeast and the accompanying ethanol production has been studied in a batch process at 27$^{\circ}C$. Over the 80-hour period of the Champagne yeast process without pH control, the cull growth was inhibited by the fluorescent light. Another observed difference between the runs is that the drop and subsequent rise in redox potential occurred much sooner in the fermentation with light than in the fermentation without light. This preliminary study indicated that ethanol production could be enhanced by light as the cell concentration is repressed. The possible pathway, shift of the sugar substrate toward ethanol and away from cells was manifested by another difference as well. As observed under the microscope, many of the yeast cells grown under light budded without dividing by the normal fission process as they did in the dark. Furthermore, the undivided and branched (light grown) cell did not agglutinate at the end of the fermentation process as did the distinct spherical (dark grown) cells.

  • The visible threshold of Oreochromis niloticus responded to high light intensity under short wavelengths, whereas the response to low light intensity under long wavelengths was low, with a minimum visual threshold of 574 nm of LED lights. Movement distance of O. niloticus was dropped at 31℃ and increased abnormally at 37℃ under natural light. Comparing movement distance under red (622 nm) and green (518 nm) lights of LED, movement distance and swimming speed under red and green lights were higher than under natural light. However, the movement distance decreased rapidly at 31℃ under red light and lowest at 33℃ under green light. After that, there was a tendency to adapt to high water temperatures gradually. Consequently, red and green lights may be recommended for O. niloticus's aquaculture because the red and green lights have a positive effect on growth performance, survival rate, and metabolism, as shown in previous studies. It is necessary to control the water temperature below 32℃ because abnormal behavior above 32℃ revealed under red and green LED lights and natural light.

  • This paper proposes a novel design of auto light control system with high efficiency using RS-485 to save lighting energy in new and existing buildings. The proposed system consists of ALSU(Auto Light Sensor Unit) which is connected with RS-485 to control lighting appliances, ALS(Auto Light Unit), and Hi-FACS which is a monitoring system using communication interface. lighting appliances are automatically controlled by ALSU which detects moving objects. The total system is designed to be controlled by either manual or auto mode by using the ALS. In addition, the monitoring system receives the information on the state of the lighting appliances from ALSU and ALS to control the proposed system We compared the proposed system with the conventional one in functionality and energy saving point of view. Through some experimental results, the proposed system shows better performance in various circumstances.

  • The conservation of collections in muse-ums is an important aspect for our her-itage. The control of museum environment is a vital factor in the preservation of cool-lections. Inappropriate or fluctuating envi-ronmental conditions can cause irreparable damage to works of arts. In this research we investigated the ac-tual conditions of museum environment for old testiles using questionnaire and mea-sured dye fasing of old textiles on exhibi-tion for 2 months in a university museum the major results are as follows: 1. The control of temperature and rela-tive humidity is a vital factors I the preservation of old textiles in museum generally acceptable temperature and rel-ative humidity standards for old textiles are 18-23$^{\circ}C$ and 50-65% R. H and light level for textiles on exhibition should be limited to 30-50 lux. 2, In university museums the limate control system in exhibition and storage area is in an early stage. Therefore to minimize the deterioration of old textiles the best method of controlling the envi-ronment is to have centralized climate control system in sorage area as well as in display area. 3. Conservator is needed to maintain collections scientifically. Only professional conservator by combining scientific tech-nical and artistic training has the exper-tise needed to maintain the physical in-tegrity of old textiles. In order to solve the inferior environment of museums the staff should recognize the importance of the condition of exhibition and storage. 4. Old textiles are susceptible to damage by light and associated heat. Dyed textiles which have been exhibited under the light without any UV filter were faded notice-ably within two months of exhibition. Light levels for textiles on exhibition should be limited to 30-50 lux. It is de-sirable to use special light source that can absorb UV. and UV filter is also recom-mended to reduce photodegradation of old textiles.

  • The structure of the fire control system(FCS) of a light armed helicopter and effective logistics support was taken into account in the proposed common weapon interface module(CWIM) for a distributed FCS. The pros and cons of a distributed FCS and a centralized FCS were analyzed, then a CWIM which can be applied to the weapon interface module of a distributed FCS was designed and fabricated. Integration tests between the proposed CWIM and a weapon simulator were conducted to ascertain whether or not the proposed CWIM could be applicable to a distributed FCS. We expect that the CWIM design approach method secured through this study will be helpful in mitigating cable work of the FCS which will be applied to a Light Armed Helicopter and controlling various weapons.

  • As apple trees mature, it is important to maintain good light distribution within the canopy to produce marketable fruits. Tree thinning is the selective removal of a proportion of trees growing in the orchard to provide more growing space and a good light environment for the remaining trees. This study was conducted over 3 years (14-16 years after planting) to investigate the influence of tree thinning on vegetative growth, yield, fruit quality, and blooming in the 14 years old slender spindle 'Fuji'/M.9 apple trees planted with the tree space of 3.2×1.2 m. The trees were placed in a control group (no thinning; 260 trees per 10 a) or a tree thinning group (thinned 50% of the control; 130 trees per 10 a). The tree thinning successfully improved light penetration, yield per tree, fruit red color, and yield efficiency for 3 years, and the tree thinning controlled the occurrence of biennial bearing. However, tree thinning significantly decreased accumulated yield per 10 a compared with the control. The vegetative growth, yield per tree, soluble solid contents, and blooming were not clear by the occurrence of biennial bearing in the control. These results indicated that tree thinning was a good method for improving light penetration and preventing biennial bearing in the old 'Fuji'/M.9 high-density apple orchards.

  • To evaluate light-emitting diode (LED) as potential attractants for Bemisia tabaci adults, attractiveness of white and yellow LED traps were investigated in greenhouse. The yellow LED trap showed the most attractive to B. tabaci adults, followed by a similarly attraction to the white LED trap, whereas the control (no light trap) was little attractive to B. tabaci adults. These results suggested that yellow and white LED traps could be used for environment-friendly insect pest control.

  • Drug delivery systems have been developed to reduce the side toxicity of drugs by localizing them in the site of action. But it depends on the circulation of the blood and it doesn't have the function of locomotive mechanism of itself for searching for the region of disease. However, this problem could be solved by nanobot which have the locomotive function. So, we mimic the movement of cell that can move in a human body. In this paper, to polymerize the encapsulated actin within the liposome, electroporation technique is employed. In order to optimize polymerization and depolymerization of the liposome, we compare the time of polymerization and depolymerization by concentration of crown ether. we synthesis the liposome which contain azobenzene Linked crown Ether conjugated Actin protein. Azobenze linked crown ether holds the K+ ion by exposure of UV light and this disturbs the actin polymerization. In result, UV light could control the liposome growth. Finally, we could develop the liposome robot and control the growth and degeneration of the liposome by external stimuli such s UV light. The merit of the controlling by UV light doesn't need to inject proteins which induce polymerization and depolymerization of actin protein.

  • The internal quantum efficiency of EL devices using fluorescent organic materials is limited within 25% because of the triplet excitons which can hardly emit light. So there has been considerable interest in finding ways to obtain light emission from triplet excitons. One approach has been to add phosphorescent compounds to one of the layers in an EL device. Then triplet excitons can transfer to these phosphorescent molecules and emit light. In this study, multilayer organic light-emitting devices with phosphorescent emitter, tris (2-phenylpyridine)iridium ($Ir(ppy)_3$) were prepared. The device exhibited power luminous efficiency of 1.07 1m/W at the luminance of $61.6\;cd/m^2$ diriven at the voltage of 9 V and current density of $1.9mA/cm^2$. At the luminance of $100\;cd/m^2$, the luminous efficiency was obtained 1.05 lm/W with the voltage of 9.5 V and the corrent density of $2.8\;mA/cm^2$.
