Tin oxide thin films doped with silicon as anodes for lithium secondary battery were fabricated by R. F. magnetron sputtering technique. The electrochemical results for lithium secondary battery anodes showed that addition of silicon decreases the oxidic state of tin, and, hence, reduced the irreversible capacity during the first discharge/charge cycle. The (110),(101),(211) planes were grown with increasing substrate temperatures. The reversible capacity of thin films fabricated in conditions of $300^{\circ}C$ substrate temperature and 7:3 $Ar:O_2$ ratio was 700 mAh/g.

A 110 m diameter aspheric metal secondary mirror for a test model of an earth observation satellite camera was fsbricated by ultra-precision single point diamond turning (SPDT). Aluminum alloy for mirror substrates is known to be easily machinable, but not polishable due to its ductility. A harder material, Ni, is usually electrolessly coated on an A1 substrate to increase the surface hardness for optical polishing. Aspheric metal secondary mirror without a conventional polishing process, the surface roughness of Ra=10nm, and the form error of Ra=λ/12(λ=632.8nm) has been required. The purpose of this research is to find the optimum machining conditions for reflector cutting of electroless-Ni coated A1 alloy and apply the SPDT technique to the manufacturing of ultra precision optical components of metal aspheric reflector.

Micro crystal structure of polycrystalline MgO film is controlled by adjusting the energy of particles arrived at the substrate during deposition. The change of crystal structure affects on the total area of (200) surface where the oxygen vacancies are formed easily, resulting in the change of secondary electron emission (SEE) coefficient($\gamma$).

We propose a low-loss on-chip transformer using an auxiliary primary part (APP) for an output matching network for fully integrated CMOS power amplifiers. The APP is designed using a fifth metal layer while the primary and secondary parts are designed using a sixth metal layer with a width smaller than that of the primary and secondary parts of the transformer to minimize the substrate loss and the parasitic capacitance between the primary and secondary parts. By adapting the APP in the on-chip transformer, we obtain an improved maximum available gain value without the need for any additional chip area. The feasibility of the proposed APP structure is successfully verified.

The nucleophilic substitution reactions of bis(Y-aryl) chlorophosphates (1) with substituted anilines and deuterated anilines are investigated kinetically in acetonitrile at 35.0 $^{\circ}C$. The kinetic results of 1 are compared with those of Y-aryl phenyl chlorophosphates (2). The substrate 1 has one more identical substituent Y compared to substrate 2. The cross-interaction between Y and Y, due to additional substituent Y, is significant enough to result in the change of the sign of cross-interaction constant (CIC) from negative ${\rho}_{XY}$ = -1.31 (2) to positive ${\rho}_{XY}$ = +1.91 (1), indicating the change of reaction mechanism from a concerted $S_N2$ (2) to a stepwise mechanism with a rate-limiting leaving group departure from the intermediate (1). The deuterium kinetic isotope effects (DKIEs) involving deuterated anilines ($XC_6H_4ND_2$) show secondary inverse, $k_H/k_D$ = 0.61-0.87. The DKIEs invariably increase as substituent X changes from electron-donating to electron-withdrawing, while invariably decrease as substituent Y changes from electron-donating to electron-withdrawing. A stepwise mechanism with a rate-limiting bond breaking involving a predominant backside attack is proposed on the basis of positive sign of ${\rho}_{XY}$ and secondary inverse DKIEs.

Mushroom tyrosinase (MT) structural changes in the presence of $Cu ^{2+}$ and $Ni ^{2+}$ were studied separately. Far-UV CD spectra of the incubated MT with the either of the metal ions indicated reduction of the well-ordered secondary structure of the enzyme. Increasing in the maximum fluorescence emission of anilinonaphthalene-8-sulfonic acid (ANS) was also revealing partial unfolding caused by the conformational changes in the tertiary structure of MT. Thermodynamic studies on the chemical denaturation of MT by dodecyl trimethylammonium bromide (DTAB) showed decrease in the stability of MT in the presence of $Cu ^{2+}$ or $Ni ^{2+}$ using their activation concentrations. Both activities of MT were also assessed in the presence of different concentrations of these ions, separately, with various monophenols and their corresponding diphenols. Kinetic studies revealed that cresolase activity on p-coumaric acid was boosted in the presence of either of the metal ions, but inhibited when phenol, L-tyrosine, or 4-[(4-methylphenyl)azo]-phenol was substrate. Similarly, catecholase activity on caffeic acid was enhanced in the presence of $Cu ^{2+}$ or $Ni ^{2+}$, but inhibited when catechol, L-DOPA, or 4-[(4-methylbenzo)azo]-1,2-benzenediol was substrate. Results of this study suggest that both cations make MT more fragile and less active. However, the effect of the substrate structure on the MT allosteric behavior can not be ignored.

$La_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}CoO_3$ (LSCO) electrode thin films with a resistivity of ~ 1,600 ${\mu}{\Omega}cm$ were grown on c-$Al_2O_3$ (0001) substrate. $ZnSnO_3$ (ZTO) thin films with different thicknesses were directly grown on LSCO/c-$Al_2O_3$ (0001) substrates at a substrate temperature that ranged from 550 to $750^{\circ}C$ using Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD). The secondary phase $Zn_2SnO_4$ occurred during the growth of ZTO films and it became more significant with further increasing substrate temperature. Polarization-electric-field (P-E) hysteresis characteristics, with a remnant polarization and coercive field of 0.05 ${\mu}C/cm^2$ and 48 kV/cm, respectively, were obtained in the ZTO film grown at $700^{\circ}C$ in 200 mTorr.

O-methylation mediated by O-methyltransferases (OMTs) is a common modification in natural product biosynthesis and contributes to diversity of secondary metabolites. OMTs use phenylpropanoids, flavonoids, other phenolics and alkaloids as substrates, and share common domains for S-adenosyl-L-methionine (AdoMet) and substrate binding. We searched Arabiposis genome and found 17 OMTs genes (AtOMTs). AdoMet- and substrate-binding sites were predicted. AdoMet binding domain of AtOMTs is highly conserved, while substrate-binding domain is diverse, indicating use of different substrates. In addition, expressions of six AtOMT genes in response to UV and in different tissues were investigated using real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. All the AtOMTs investigated were expressed under normal growth condition and most, except AtOMT10, were induced after UV illumination. AtOMT1 and AtOMT8 were expressed in all the tissues, whereas AtOMT10 showed flower-specific expression. Analysis of these AtOMT gene expressions could provide some clues on AtOMT involvement in the cellular processes.

Continuous and dense ZIF-7 membranes were successfully synthesized on ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ porous substrate via two-step crystallization technique. ZIF-7 seeding layer was first deposited on porous ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ substrate by in-situ low temperature crystallization, and then ZIF-7 membrane layer can be grown through the secondary high-temperature crystallization. Two synthesis solutions with different concentration were used to prepare ZIF-7 seeding layer and membrane layer on porous ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ substrate, respectively. As a result, a continuous and defect-free ZIF-7 membrane layer can be prepared on porous ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ substrate, as confirmed by scanning electron microscope. XRD characterization shows that the resulting membrane layer is composed of pure ZIF-7 phase without any impurity. A single gas permeation test of $H_2$, $O_2$, $CH_4$ or $CO_2$ was conducted based on our prepared ZIF-7 membrane. The ZIF-7 membrane exhibited excellent H2 molecular sieving properties due to its suitable pore aperture and defect-free membrane layer.
