  • Al, N-codoped ZnO(ZnO:N,Al) thin films were deposited on n-type Si(100) substrate at $450^{\circ}C$ with various conditions of ambient gas$(N_2:O_2)$ by DC magnetron sputtering method using ZnO:$Al_2O_3$(2wt%) as a target, and then were annealed at 500, 700, $800^{\circ}C$ in $N_2$ gas for one hour. XRD patterns showed that all of the ZnO:N,Al thin films annealed at $80^{\circ}C$ grew with two peaks, which means poor crystallinity of the thin films deposited. Hall effects in Van der Pauw configuration proved that after annealing the films deposited showed low resistivity and high carrier concentration. While the films annealed at $800^{\circ}C$ showed low resistivity of $\sim10^{-2}\Omega$ cm and high carrier concentration of $\sim10^{19}cm^{-3}$.

  • In this work, VOx thin films have been deposited by DC magnetron sputtering method on glass substrate using argon and oxygen gases. We examined the effects of the post annealing temperature on the structural, optical, and electrical variations of VOx films. The films were annealed at temperatures ranging from 300 to $500^{\circ}C$ in steps of $100^{\circ}C$ using RTA equipment in air ambient. The thickness of the film and interface between film and substrate were observed by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). To analysis the structural properties of VOx with various annealng temperatures, we used XRD method. Also, we investigated the electrical and optical properties of VOx thin films using hall measurement, 4-point probe, and UV-visible methods.

  • The electroless plating process largely consists of substrate cleaning, seed formation (activator formation), and electroless plating. The most widely used activator in the seed formation step is Pd, and Sn ions are used to facilitate the formation of this Pd seed layer. This is problematic because the Sn ions interfere with the reduction of Cu ions during electroless plating; thus, the Sn ions must be removed by a hydrochloric acid cleaning process. This method is also expensive due to the use of Pd. In this study, Cu electroless plating was performed by forming a seed layer using a silver nanosol instead of Pd and Sn. The effects of the Ag nanosol concentration in the pretreatment solution and the pretreatment time on the thickness and surface morphology of the Cu layer were investigated. The degrees of adhesion to the substrate were similar for the electroless-plated Cu layers formed by conventional Pd activation and those formed by the Ag nanosol.

  • When there is a lack of detailed kinetic information, dFBA(dynamic flux balance analysis) has correctly predicted cellular behavior under given environmental conditions with FBA and different ial equations. However, until now, dFBA has centered on substrate concentration, cell growth, and gene on/off, but a detailed hierarchical structure of a regulatory network has not been taken into account. For this reason, the dFBA has limited the represen tation of interactions between specific regulatory proteins and genes and the whole transcriptional regulation mechanism with environmental change. Moreover, to calculate optimal metabolic flux distribution which maximizes the growth flux and predict the b ehavior of cell system, linear programming package(LINDO) and spreadsheet package(EXCEL) have been used simultaneously. thses two software package have limited in the visual representation of simulation results and it can be difficult for a user to look at the effects of changing inputs to the models. Here, we descirbes the construction of hierarchical regulatory network with defined symbolsand the development of an integrated system that can predict the total control mechanism of regulatory elements (opero ns, genes, effectors, etc.), substrate concentration, growth rate, and optimal flux distribution with time. All programming procedures were accoplished in a visual programming environment (LabVIEW).

  • In this work the tribological characteristics were compared between ZnO coatings on glass substrate prepared by sputtering and sol-gel methods. In order to assess the effects of processing method on the tribological characteristics, the friction and wear properties of the coatings were measured by using a reciprocating type of micro-tribotester. The sputtered ZnO coatings were prepared on a glass substrate at room temperature, $150^{\circ}$, and $300^{\circ}$. The ZnO coatings prepared by sol-gel method were heat-treated in air atmosphere at $550^{\circ}$ for one hour. The crystal structure and surface morphology of the coatings were measured by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), respectively. The experimental results showed that overall the sputtered coatings exhibited better friction and wear properties than coatings prepared by sol-gel method. The sputtered coating grown at room temperature had a relatively low friction coefficient of 0.14 and superior wear resistance compared with the other coatings. Nevertheless, sol-gel method of coating ZnO on glass is beneficial for economical coating of a large surface area.

  • In the field of material science, the interests and efforts to modify the surface of materials in agreement with the need of usage have been extensively increasing. he modification to improve the wettability of surface is very important is terms of adhesion, printing, etc. It is very difficult to modify metal surface into hydrophilic one. therefore, surfactant coating has been generally used in many cases. However, surfactant has disadvantages such as environmental problem, soluble in water. in this study, hydrophilic polymer films as alternative of surfactant were deposited on metal substrate by DC plasma polymerization. Hydrophilic polymer films deposited by DC plasma show many merits such as good wettability, stone adhesion to substrate, high resistance to most chemicals. Monomer gas and reactive gas were used as source plasma polymerization. Plasma polymerized films were fabricated with process parameters of deposition time, ratio of gas mixture, current, pressure, etc. Effects of these variables on wettability of plasma polymer films will be discussed. With XPS and FT-IR analyses of plasma polymeric films, the relation between wettability and chemical state of polymer films by DC plasma was investigated.

  • The aim of this study was to prepare diacylglycerol (DAG) by enzymatic glycerolysis of lard. The effects of reaction parameters such as lipase type, reaction temperature, enzyme amount, substrate molar ratio (lard/glycerol), reaction time, and magnetic stirring speed were investigated. Lipozyme RMIM was found to be a more active biocatalyst than Novozym 435, and the optimal reaction conditions were 14:100 (W/W) of enzyme to lard substrate ratio, 1:1 of lard to glycerol molar ratio, and 500 rpm magnetic stirring speed. The reaction mixture was first incubated at $65^{\circ}C$ for 2 h and then transferred to $45^{\circ}C$ for 8 h. At the optimum reaction conditions, the conversion rate of triacylglycerol (TAG) and the content of DAG in the reaction mixture reached 76.26% and 61.76%, respectively, and the DAG content in purified glycerolized lard was 82.03% by molecular distillation. The distribution of fatty acids and Fourier transform infrared spectra in glycerolized lard samples were similar to those in lard samples. The results revealed that enzymatic glycerolysis and molecular distillation can be used to prepare more highly purified DAG from lard.

  • N-polar, Ga-polar, and non-polar GaN was grown by MBE and MOVPE using various substrates and influence of polarity has been investigated. The GaN growth by MOVPE is along cplane (0001), c-plane (0001), and a-plane (11-20) direction on c-plane (0001), a-plane (11-20) and r-plane (1-102) sapphire substrate respectively. The polarity of the film has a strong influence on the morphology and the optical properties of PA-MBE grown As-doped GaN layers. Strong blue emission from As-doped GaN was observed only in the case of N-polarity (000-1) layers, which was attributed to the highest concentration of Ga dangling bonds for this polarity of a GaN surface.

  • For the improvement of the anti-pollution properties of porcelain electrical insulators, in this study, we have applied the functional film to the surface of insulator. The functional films were coated on the ceramic substrates which components were like the porcelain electrical insulator. The coating material was applied to ceramic substrate by spray coating method and then the film was cured at around $300^{\circ}C$ for 10 minutes with different gas ambient, such as $O_2$, $N_2$, and only vacuum. We have measured the contact angle of the coated surface, and obtained the lowest angle ($8.9^{\circ}$) and a strong hydrophilic property at vacuum condition. The anti-pollution properties were measured, revealing that as the contact angle decreased, the anti-pollution properties improved. The mechanical hardness and adhesion were both excellent regardless of the annealing ambient.

  • Studies were made to evaluate the specific and combined effects of different fatty acids on the in vitro development of 8-cell rat embryo in culture media with and without carbohydrate substrate. Palmitic, oleic, linoleic and arachidonic acids were added singly and in combination to media which contained fatty acid-free BSA. Cell numbers in blastocysts cultured in the media were counted and compared with cell numbers in blastocysts at the corresponding stage collected from the uterus. Oleic, linoleic and arachidonic acids promoted the rat embryo development from 8-cell to the blastocysts. especially in the absence of carbohydrate substrates. Among these three, oleic acid was the most effective but embryo development was not accelerated by the addition of palmitic acid in either the presence or the absence of carbohydrate substrates. Addition of the mixture of four fatty acids was more effective for rat embryo development than single treatment with any of fatty acids tested. Cell numbers per blastocyst in the presence and absence of carbohydrate substrate were similar, and did not differ from those for blastocysts obtained from the uterus.
