There are currently considerable interests in the applications of conjugated polymers, oligomers. and small molecules for thin-film electronic devices. Organic materials have potential advantages to be utilized as semiconductors in field-effect transistors and light-emitting diodes. In this study we fabricated the devices based on pentacene as active layer. Octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) is used as buffer layer between $SiO_2$ and pentacene. Atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and electrical conductivity were used with OTS on $SiO_2$ 10nm which the pentacene layer was thermally evaporated in vacuum at a pressure of about $2.0\times10^{-6}$ Torr. In the result of AFM, the grain length is grown by using OTS for surface treatment. Electrical conductivity is changed from $3.19{\times}10^{-6}$ S/cm to $2.12{\times}10^{-7}$ S/cm. We observed that electrical conductivity is also increased by surface treatment. According to these results, the surface treated devices exhibited the increase to compared no treatment.

Membrane biofouling impedes wide application of membrane bioreactor (MBR) for wastewater treatment. Recently, quorum sensing (QS) mechanisms are accounted for one of major mechanisms in biofouling of MBRs. In this study, vanillin was applied to investigate reduction of biofouling in MBRs. MBR sludge was analyzed to contain QS signal molecules by cross-feeding biosensor assay and HPLC. In addition, the inhibitory activity of vanillin against bacterial quorum sensing was verified using an indicator strain CV026. The vanillin doses greater than 125 mg/L to 100 mL of MBR sludge showed 25% reduction of biofilm formed on the membrane surfaces. Two MBRs, i.e., a typical MBR as a control and an MBR with vanillin, were operated. The TMP increases of the control MBR were more rapid compared to those of the MBR with the vanillin dose of 250 mg/L. The treatment efficiencies of the two MBRs on organic removal and MLSS were maintained relatively constant. Extracellular polymeric substance concentrations measured at the end of the MBR operation were 173 mg/g biocake for the control MBR and 119 mg/g biocake for the MBR with vanillin. Vanillin shows great potential as an anti-biofouling agent for MBRs without any interference on microbial activity for wastewater treatment.

To formulate folate receptor (FR)-specific graphene-based electrochemical electrodes, a folic acid (FA) derivative attached with two pyrene molecules on the glutamate tail of FA was synthesized. The resulting pyrene-functionalized FA (FA-Py) presented the spontaneous noncovalent binding on chemically reduced graphene oxides (rGO) through an ${\pi}-{\pi}$ interaction. Ultrathin morphology, high water-resistance, and preservation of intact FR-specific pteroates from the rGO/FA-Py assembly allow this assembly to be exploited as robust and FR-specific electrochemical electrode materials. The limits of detecting rGO/FA-Py modified electrodes were found to be as low as 3.07 nM in FR concentrations in cyclic voltammetry analysis.

In the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique, a monolayer on the water surface is transferred onto a substrate, which is raised and dipped through the surface. From this, multilayers can be obtained in which constituent molecules are periodically arranged. The LB technique has attracted considerable interest in the fabrication of electrical and electronic devices. Many researchers have investigated the electrical properties of monolayer and multiplayer films. Dendrimers represent a new class of synthetic macromolecules characterized by a regularly branched treelike structure. Multiple branching yields a large number of chain ends that distinguish dendrimers from conventional star-like polymers and microgels. The agobenzene dendrimer is one of the dendritic macromolecules that include the azo-group exhibiting a photochromic character. Due to the Presence of the charge transfer element of the azo-group and its rod-shaped structure, these compounds are expected to have potential interest in electronics and ptoelectronics, especially in nonlinear optics. In the present paper, we give pressure stimulation to organic thin films and detect the induced displacement current.

The second-order nonlinear optical effect, especially the second harmonic generation, in Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) films have get much attention over the past few years. For second harmonic generation(SHG) of the ultrathin organic films, the multilayer structure of the film should have the noncentrosymmetric arrangements of molecules. The Langmuir-Blodgett technique can result in the production of thin films of precisely controlled dimensions and structure. In this paper, n-octadecyl 4-(4'-nitrophenylazo)-1-naphthyl ether, ONNE(azohenzene derivative), was synthesized and the optical properties of ONNE was studied. Nonccntrosymmctric Z-type LB films of ONNE were prepared and SHG intensity of the film were measured. The structural characteristics of floating monolayer(L film) and LB film of ONNE were discussed with $\pi$-A isotherm. UV-visible absorption spectroscopy and spectroscopic ellipsometry. The polarized UV-visible absorption spectroscopy and SHO intensity suggest the molecular orientation in LB film.

In this work we have studied the spin-lattice relaxation of $^{19}$F spins in benzotrifluoride in our quest for a reliable method of discriminating the contribution due to dipolar relaxation mechanism from that due to spin-rotational mechanism for nuclear spins located on methyl or substituted methyl group in organic molecules. Over the temperature range of 248-268 K the decay of normalized longitudinal magnetization was found to be well described by a two parameter equation of the form R(t) = exp(-st){$\frac{5}{6}$exp(-s$_1$)+$\frac{1}{6}$} which was derived under the assumption that interactions in the A3 spin system are modulated randomly and predominantly by internal rotational motions of -CF_3$ top, and it was shown that the separation of contribution due to dipolar interactions from that due to spin-rotation interaction could be successfully achieved by least-square fitting of observed data to this equation. The results indicate that the spin-rotational contribution is overwhelmingly larger than that of dipolar origin over the given temperature range and becomes more deminating at higher temperature.

The pKa values of benzyltetrahydrothiophenium halides 1a-f in water have been estimated by measuring the absorbances of the solution in aqueous hydroxide ion solution. Assuming that the ratios of the activity coefficients remains close to unity, the absorbance of the solution can be expressed as A/[SH]o=(εSH+εS-K[OH-])/(1+K[OH-]), where A, [SH]o, K, εSH, and εS- are the absorbance of solution, the initial concentration of 1a-f, the equilibrium constant, and the extinction coefficients for SH and S-, respectively. The εS- and K values that best fit with this equation were calculated by a nonlinear regression analysis with a large number of absorbance data determined at different [OH-] and [SH]o. The pKa values of the SH were then calculated with the relationship Ka=-log K+14. The validity of this method has been demonstrated by the excellent agreements between the experimental and literature pKa values of three organic acids. The pKa values of 1a-f estimated by this method are in the range of 12.5-15.3 and correlate well with the Hammett equation. The large negative deviation for the pKa values of 1e and 1f from the Hammett plot has been attributed to the extra hydrogen bonding between the phenyl group and water molecules attracted by the hydrophilic substituents.

The olfactory bio technology is largely based on its corresponding recognition technology and smell stimulus that acquires, analyzes, and processes volatile organic compounds present in chemical molecules, which are present in the breath or air evoked by an electronic nose artificially imitating the human biological nose. The olfactory bio technology is also based on a scent display technology that automatically diverges various digital flavors based on aesthetics, concentration, duration, and intensity information required to enhance the sensibility using a computer. Recently, attempts have been made to apply noninvasive screening of dementia by sensing, analyzing, encoding, and transmitting bio information obtained through an olfactory interface, both domestically and externally; further, the olfactory medical content technology has been applied to delay or reduce the onset of dementia. In this study, we will focus on early screening of dementia using olfactory biology information and dementia cognitive enhancer content that delays or reduces the onset of dementia.

Saline soils comprise more than half a billion hectares worldwide. Thus, they warrant attention for their efficient, economical, and environmentally acceptable management. Halophytes are being progressively utilized for human benefits. The halophyte microbiome contributes significantly to plant performance and can provide information regarding complex ecological processes involved in the osmoregulation of halophytes. Microbial communities associated with the rhizosphere, phyllosphere, and endosphere of halophytes play an important role in plant health and productivity. Members of the plant microbiome belonging to domains Archaea, Bacteria, and kingdom Fungi are involved in the osmoregulation of halophytes. Halophilic microorganisms principally use compatible solutes, such as glycine, betaine, proline, trehalose, ectoine, and glutamic acid, to survive under salinity stress conditions. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) enhance plant growth and help to elucidate tolerance to salinity. Detailed studies of the metabolic pathways of plants have shown that plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria contribute to plant tolerance by affecting the signaling network of plants. Phytohormones (indole-3-acetic acid and cytokinin), 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid deaminase biosynthesis, exopolysaccharides, halocins, and volatile organic compounds function as signaling molecules for plants to elicit salinity stress. This review focuses on the functions of plant microbiome and on understanding how the microorganisms affect halophyte health and growth.
