Pulsed laser ablation is important in a variety of engineering applications involving precise removal of materials in laser micromachining and laser treatment of bio-materials. Particularly, detailed numerical simulation of complex laser ablation phenomena in air, taking the interaction between ablation plume and air into account, is required for many practical applications. In this paper, high-power pulsed laser ablation under atmospheric pressure is studied with emphasis on the vaporization model, especially recondensation ratio over the Knudsen layer. Furthermore, parametric studies are carried out to analyze the effect of laser fluence and background pressure on surface ablation and the dynamics of ablation plume. In the numerical calculation, the temperature, pressure, density, and vaporization flux on a solid substrate are obtained by a heat-transfer computation code based on the enthalpy method. The plume dynamics is calculated considering the effect of mass diffusion into the ambient air and plasma shielding. To verify the computation results, experiments for measuring the propagation of a laser induced shock wave are conducted as well.

UV photolysis of the titled polysilane (Me3Si)3SiMe (I) in the presence of a trapping agent of 2-propenol has been performed to investigate the interaction of short-lived silicon species formed from the photolysis of I with 2-propenol. Product studies show that the Me(Me3Si)Si: (II) and (Me3Si)3Si${\cdot}$(III) are primarily formed as the major reactive species which saturate their valencies via O-H insertion and H-abstraction, respectively. Some products are unstable toward further secondary reaction such as photodissociation and intermolecular reaction. The PM3 semiempirical calculations are performed to deduce the energetics of the photoinduced chemical reactions of I with the substrate.

In order to extend our understanding on the multiple inhibition enzyme kinetics, a general equation of an enzyme reaction in the presence of two different reversible inhibitors was derived by what we call "match-box mechanism" under the combined assumption of steady-state and quasi-equilibrium for inhibitor binding. Graphical methods were proposed to analyze the multiple inhibition of an enzyme by any given sets of different inhibitors, i.e., competitive, noncompetitive, and uncompetitive inhibitors. This method not only gives an interaction factor $({\alpha})$ between two inhibitors, but also discerns ${\alpha}_1$ and ${\alpha}_2$ with and without substrate binding, respectively. The factors involved in the dissociation constants of inhibitors can also be evaluated by the present plot. It is also shown that the present kinetic approach can be extended to other forms of activators or hydrogen ions with some modification.

Solvolyses of 2-phenylethyl benzenesulfonates have been studied in methanol-water mixtures. Cross interaction constants, $\rho_{YZ}$, between substituents Y in the substrate and Z in the leaving group indicated somewhat closer distance between the two substituents than expected for the reaction system, which supported the involvment of phenyl group assisted pathway in the solvolysis. A smaller magnitude of $\rho_{YZ}$for MeOH was interpreted as the enhencement of solvent assisted pathway since MeOH is more nucleophilic than $H_2O$. Other selectivity parameters, Winstein coefficient m, Hammett's $\rho_Y^{+_Y}$ and $\rho_Z$, as well as activation parameters supported the participation of aryl assisted and aryl unassisted pathways in the $S_{N^2}$ process of the solvolysis reaction.

Electrophilic methylation reactions of five-membered heteroaromatic compounds, furan, pyrrole and thiophene, with the dimethylfluoronium ion, ${CH_3}{FCH_3}(+), have been investigated theoretically by the MNDO method. The site selectivity of ${\alpha}, {\beta}$ and heteroatom (X) is related to charge density of the site, indicating that the site selectivity is dictated by electrosatic interaction between two reaction centers. The reactivity order between the three heteroaromatics can not be determined decisively since the order differs depending on which site is compared, with relatively low activation enthalpies, ${\Delta}{H^\neq}$= 20-30 kcal/mol, in all cases. These site and substrate selectivity behaviors are consistent with the gas-phase experimental results.

A nanoelectromechanical (NEM) switching device based on carbon nanotube (CNT) was investigated using atomistic simulations. The model schematics for a CNT based three-terminal NEM switching device fabrication were presented. for the CNT-based three-terminal NEM switch, the interactions between the CNT-lever and the drain electrode or the substrate were very important. When the electrostatic force applied to the CNT-lever was the critical point, the CNT-lever was rapidly bent because of the attractive foroe between the CNT-lever and the drain. The energy curves for the pull-in and the pull-out processes showed the hysteresis loop that was induced by the adhesion of the CNT on the copper, which was the interatomic interaction between the CNT and the copper.

CD1d is an unique antigen presenting molecule which provides antigenic repertoires to NKT cells. To examine molecules required for CD1d antigen presentation, we determined an interaction between CD1d and several endoplasmic reticulum (ER) resident molecular chaperones by co-immunoprecipitation. Results indicated that calnexin and calreticulin seem to be bound to mouse CD1d, but TAP and tapasin do not bind. Further, we screened an yeat two hybrid system to identify proteins that help mouse CD1d transportation in the cytosol. We found that two proteins, heat shock protein a sub-unit $(Hsp90{\alpha})$ and protein kinase C and casein kinase substrate in neurons 3 (PACSIN-3), interact with CD1d. Future study will be focus on the role of these molecules during the CD1d antigen presentation.

We here describe the laser-direct patterning of nanostructured metal thin films. This method involves light-matter interaction in which a pulsed laser beam impinging on the film generates a thermoelastic force that plays a role to detach the film from the substrate or underlying layers. A moderate cohesion of the nanostructured film enables localized desorption of the material upon irradiation by a spatiallymodulated laser beam, giving good fidelity with the transfered pattern. This photoresist-free process provides a simple high-resolution scheme for patterning metal thin films.

Interaction of a droplet and substrate is important to determine the coating and final deposition pattern in inkjet printing system. In particular, an accurate deposition of the droplet should be guaranteed for high-resolution patterning. In this study, we performed high-speed shadowgraph experiments on droplet train impact in inkjet system. From the high-speed images, we observed an unexpected bouncing phenomenon. We have found two factors affecting bouncing regime; the Weber number and the curvature of deposited droplet. Experimental results indicate that there is a critical curvature diameter of deposited droplet, which splits into bouncing and merging regime. From this result, we obtained a power-law behavior between the Weber number and the curvature. The understanding of bouncing phenomena helps to improve the accuracy and productivity of inkjet printing.

Newly, nutrients recovery by bioconversion in the swine waste which caused serious problems due to its high organic fraction and content of nutrients such as phosphorus and nitrogen is viewed as a considerable approach since it produces valuable product as well as recycling of resources. Consequently, it is necessary to find new methods to treat swine waste. One possible solution to this problem is to use this potential pollutant as a growth substrate for economically valuable products. The study for the fundamental improvement of bioconversion efficiency by finding optimum growth conditions using statistical models and biotechnology was performed. A novel approach to utilize swine waste by cultivating mycelia of the mushroom Phellinus linteus are described. A central composite face-centered design (CCF) for the experiments was used to develop empirical model providing a quantitative interpretation of the relationships among the three variables, which were substrate concentration, pH, and temperature. The maximal radial extension rate (2.78mm/d) of P.linteus was determined under the condition of 5.0 g COD/L, pH 5.0, and temperature $29.7^{\circ}C$. The results of this study suggest that swine waste could be utilized as a growth substrate for the cultivation of mushroom mycelia enhancing an efficiency of utilizing this by-product of the livestock industry.
