A series of novel fused-ring spiro compounds, spiro[benzo[ij]tetraphene-7,9'-fluorene] (SBTF) derivatives containing an end-capping aryl substituent at both the C3 and C10-positions hasbeen designed and synthesized via multi-step Suzuki coupling reactions. 3-(1-Naphthyl)-10-phenylSBTF (1N-PSBTF), 3-(2-naphthyl)-10-phenylSBTF (2N-PSBTF) and 3-[4-(1-naphthyl)phenyl]-10-phenylSBTF (NP-PSBTF) showed improved glass transition temperatures ($T_g$) with good thermal stability. Their photophysical, electrochemical, and electroluminescent properties were investigated and were used to construct blue organic light emission diodes (OLEDs). The typical OLED devices showed excellent performance; the NP-PSBTF-based device exhibited highly efficient deep blue-light emission with a maximum efficiency of 5.27 cd/A (EQE, 4.63%) with CIE (x = 0.133, y = 0.144). According to these characteristics, these deep-blue light emitting materials have sufficient potential for fluorescent OLED applications.

We studied emission characteristics of blue fluorescent multi-tandem OLEDs using $Al/MoO_x$ as charge generation layer(CGL). Threshold voltage for 2, 3, 4, and 5 units tandem OLEDs was 8, 11, 14 and 18 V, respectively. The threshold voltage in multi-tandem OLEDs was lower than multiple of 4 V for the single OLED. Maximum current efficiency and maximum quantum efficiency of single OLED were 7.6 cd/A and 5.5%. Maximum current efficiency for 2, 3, 4, and 5 units tandem OLEDs was 22.6, 31.4, 41.2, and 46.6 cd/A, respectively. Maximum quantum efficiency for 2, 3, 4, and 5 units tandem OLEDs was 11.8, 15.8, 21.8, and 25.6%, respectively. The maximum current efficiency and maximum quantum efficiency in multi-tandem OLEDs were higher than multiple of those for the single OLED. The intensity for 508 nm peak was changed and the peak wavelength was red shift by increase of tandem unit in electroluminescent emission spectra. These phenomena can be caused by micro-cavity effect with increasing of organic layer thickness.

We obtained the white OLED with CIE color coordinates were x=0.3327 and y=0.3387, and the maximum EL wavelength of the fabricated white organic light-emitting device was 560 nm at applied voltage of 11 V, which was similar to NTSC white color with CIE color coordinates of x=0.3333 and y=0.3333. The turn-on voltage is 1 V, the light-emitting him-on voltage is 4 V. We were able to obtain an excellent maximum external quantum efficiency of 0.457 % at an applied voltage of 18.5 V and current density of $369mA/cm^2$.

The purpose of this research is to survey characteristics of microbial community and the removal efficiency of organic materials for biological activated carbon in water treatment plant. Coal based activated carbon retained more attached bacterial biomass on the surface of the activated carbon than the other activated carbon with operating time and materials. The heterotrophic plate count(HPC), eubacteria(EUB) and 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole(DAPI) counts were ranged from $0.95{\times}10^7$ to $52.4{\times}10^7$ CFU/g, from $3.8{\times}10^8$ to $134.2{\times}10^8$ cells/g and from $7.0{\times}10^8$ to $250.2{\times}10^8$ cells/g, respectively. The biomass of EUB and DAPI appeared to be much more $10^2$ than HPC, which were increasing in bed volume of 20,000 at the stage of steady-state. The change of microbial community by analyzing fluorescent in situ hybridization(FISH) method with rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide probes, the dominant group was $\alpha$-proteobacteria($\alpha$ group) and high G+C content bacteria(HGC) the lowest distributing rate before reaching the bed volume of 20,000. After reaching the bed volume of 20,000, $\alpha$ group and other groups of bacteria became decreased, on the other hand, the proportion of both $\beta$-proteobacteria($\beta$ group) and $\gamma$-proteobacteri($\gamma$ group) were increasing. Coconut and wood based activated carbons had similar trend with coal based activated carbon, but the rate of $\alpha$ group on coal based activated carbon had gradually increased. Bacterial production with the operating period appeared highest in coal based activated carbon at the range of $1.2{\sim}3.4\;mg-C/m^3{\cdot}h$ while the coconut and wood based activated carbon were ranged from 1.1 to 2.6 $mg-C/m^3{\cdot}h$ and from 0.7 to 3.5 $mg-C/m^3{\cdot}h$ respectively. The removal efficiency of assimilable organic carbon(AOC) showed to be highly correlated with bacterial production. The correlation coefficient between removal efficiency of AOC and bacterial production were 0.679 at wood based activated carbon, 0.291 at coconut based activated carbon and 0.762 at coal based activated carbon, respectively.

This study was conducted to investigate the growth characteristics and functional materials of baby vegetables as affected by different LEDs and luminous intensity at Anseongsi, Gyeonggi Province, in 2014. Test crops were beet, chicory, spinach, red leaf lettuce, crown daisy and red mustard purchased from the seed company of Dongbu Hannong and Jinheung. Growth characteristics were measured and the content of functional materials was analyzed 40 days after seeding at plug plate. Treatment of Red+Blue (4:1) at $150{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}s^{-1}$ luminous intensity showed the highest number of leaves in five baby vegetables of beet, chicory, red leaf lettuce, crown daisy and red mustard. The highest shoot length of chicory, spinach, red leaf lettuce, crown daisy and red mustard was obtained from the treatment of Red+Blue (4:1) at $150{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}s^{-1}$ luminous intensity. Fresh weight and dry weight of all six baby vegetables were the highest in treatment of Red+Blue (4:1) at $150{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}s^{-1}$ luminous intensity. Content of chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b of spinach, red leaf lettuce and red mustard showed the highest in Fluorescent lamp at $150{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}s^{-1}$ luminous intensity whereas other crops did not show definite trend under different LEDs lights and luminous intensity. The highest total content of anthocyanins and polyphenol were obtained from the treatment of Red+Blue (4:1) at $150{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}s^{-1}$ luminous intensity in all six baby vegetables. Free radical scavenging activity was highest in all six vegetable crops at $150{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}s^{-1}$ luminous intensity, but it was not different significantly between LEDs. As a result, the growth and the content of functional material of baby vegetables are generally to be increased in Red+Blue (4:1) at $150{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}s^{-1}$ luminous intensity. Mixed light of Red+Blue is thought to give good effect on the growth and the content of functional material in baby vegetable crops. Because there are many differences in regard of LED lights, crop varieties, cultivation and experimental methods in their impact on the growth and functional materials of baby vegetables among researchers, it is considered that a more precise studies are needed for the crop responses to LED light and luminous intensity.

To develop indicators for soil health evaluation, biological characteristics of native soils from the different parent materials were studied. Survival rate of fluorescent Pseudomonas in soils was the lowest as 0.1% while those of thermophilic Bacillus and alkaliphilic bacteria were over the 90% by the soil drying stress. There was positive relationship between soil microbial biomass and organic carbon exudated from the microbial biomass by the treatment. The average air-drying effect of soils was 39.7% with ranges of 9.7~95.0%. The propagules of mesophilic Bacillus and Gram negative bacteria were increased by the re-wetting of dried soils. Soil pH affected positively to the recovering rate of microbial number. Average recovering rate of microbes was 65.3%, and there was positive relationship between microbial biomass recovery and fluorescent Pseudomonas population.

In this paper, we reported the synthesis and electroluminescent properties of blue fluorescent styrylamine derivatives end-capped with a diphenylvinyl group. A new series of styrylamine derivatives have been synthesized via the Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction. To explore electroluminescent properties of these molecules, multilayer organic lighte-mitting devices with the configuration of ITO/NPB/1-5 doped in MADN/Bphen/Liq/Al were fabricated. All devices exhibited blue emissions with good EL performances. Among those reported herein, the device using dopant 5 exhibited a maximum luminance of $24,000\;cd/m^2$ at 11.0 V, a luminous efficiency of 12.5 cd/A at $20\;mA/cm^2$, a power efficiency of 6.50 lm/W at $20\;mA/cm^2$, and $CIE_{x,y}$ coordinates of (x = 0.173, y = 0.306) at 8.0 V, all of which demonstrate the superiority of these materials in blue OLEDs.

Grignard metathesis polymerizations of 1,1-disubstituted-2,5-dibromo-3,4-diphenylsiloles such as 1,1-dimethyl-2,5-dibromo-3,4-diphenylsilole, 1,1-diethyl-2,5-dibromo-3,4-diphenylsilole, 1,1-diisopropyl-2,5-dibromo-3,4-diphenylsilole, and 1,1-dihexyl-2,5-dibromo-3,4-diphenylsilole were performed to yield poly(1,1-disubstituted-3,4-diphenyl-2,5-silole)s containing fluorescent aromatic chromophore groups such as phenyl and silole in the polymer main chain: poly(1,1-dimethyl-3,4-diphenyl-2,5-silole), poly(1,1-diethyl-3,4-diphenyl-2,5-silole), poly(1,1-diisopropyl-3,4-diphenyl-2,5-silole), and poly(1,1-dihexyl-3,4-diphenyl-2,5-silole), respectively. The obtained materials are highly soluble in common organic solvents such as chloroform and tetrahydrofuran. Fourier-transform infrared spectra of all the polymers have characteristic C=C stretching frequencies at $1620-1628cm^{-1}$. The prepared organosilicon polymers exhibit strong absorption maximum peaks at 273-293 nm in the tetrahydrofuran solution, showing a red-shift of 18-34 nm relative to those of the monomer, strong excitation maximum peaks at 276-303 nm, and strong fluorescence emission maximum bands at 350-440 nm. Thermogravimetric analysis shows that most of the polymers are stable up to $200^{\circ}C$ with a weight loss of 6-16% in nitrogen.

A series of blue fluorescent emitters based on triphenylene derivatives were synthesized via the Diels-Alder reaction in moderate yields. The electronic absorption and emission characteristics of the new functional materials were affected by the nature of the substituent on the triphenylene nucleus. Multilayered OLEDs were fabricated with a device structure of: ITO/NPB (50 nm)/EML (30 nm)/Bphen (30 nm)/Liq (2.0 nm)/Al (100 nm). All devices showed efficient blue emissions. Among those, a device using 1 gives the best performances with a high brightness (978 cd $m^{-2}$ at 8.0 V) and high efficiencies (a luminous efficiency of 0.80 cd/A, a power efficiency of 0.34 lm/W and an external quantum efficiency of 0.73% at 20 $mA/cm^2$). The peak wavelength of the electroluminescence was 455 nm with CIEx,y coordinates of (0.17, 0.14) at 8.0 V.
