  • $Sr_2Si_5N_8:Eu^{2+}$, one of the most recently developed phosphors for use in white light emitting diodes, exhibits a two-peak emission. Namely, the emission band of $Sr_2Si_5N_8:Eu^{2+}$ is deconvoluted into two Gaussian peaks irrespective of the $Eu^{2+}$ concentration. We examined the two-peak emission of $Sr_2Si_5N_8:Eu^{2+}$ by analyzing the time-resolved photoluminescence spectra. We revealed that the two-peak emission was closely associated with the energy transfer taking place between $Eu^{2+}$ activators located at two different crystallographic sites in the $Sr_2Si_5N_8$ structure. The experimental results coincided well with the rate equation model involving the crystallographic information of the host.

  • This paper surveys the development of Asian universities and their path towards the American entrepreneurial type. The paper suggests Asian universities used internationalization and entrepreneurial missions to follow older American entrepreneurial universities with success towards world-class university status. Current studies are lacking on covering the significance of internationalization at Asian entrepreneurial universities and offer few typologies on the diverse Asian transformations of the past approximate thirty years. Thus, paper proposes a theoretical framework linking internationalization with innovation and classifies into 3 types, the various Asian entrepreneurial university transformations from an international comparative perspective. It then examines the type using case studies.

  • This study aims to examine the subjects of cultural power of the modernism and post modernism eras, and analyze how the change of power and subjects influenced fashion throughout the history from the microscopic perspective, and thus to explain the social relationship of the fashion phenomenon. The study findings can be summarized as follows. First, as the post modernism era which was being formed centering around Europe that was pursuing Haute Couture and formal masculine suits ended and the post modernism era started, America became the center of the world power, and the American equalitarianism and growing wealth among the general public spread over the world, and as a result, the ready-made clothes were propagated over the world, and various subcultures came to have multi-national tendency in the New Media society. Second, in the modernism era, the high class, whites, males, and the pre-existing powerful class were the subjects of cultural power. Although this changed in the post modernism era, as some of power moved from the high class to the middle class, the economically affluent general public, still the western world, males, and whites held the center of power. However, later, females, youths, the third world nations, and so on emerged as minor power, and when the New Media society started, the structure developed so that everyone can share cultural power.

  • The dielectric medium used in electrophoretic displays (EPDs) is required to be an environmentally friendly solvent with high density, low viscosity, and a large electric constant. Hydrofluoroether, a highly fluorinated solvent with eco-friendly characteristics, is regarded as a viable alternative medium for EPDs, owing to the similarity of its physical properties to those of the conventional EPD medium. Surface modification of particles is required, however, in order for it to disperse in the charged solvent. Also, positive/negative charges should be present on the particle surface to enable electrophoretic behavior. In this study, carbon black particles wrapped with positively charged nitrogen (N-CBs) were fabricated by a simple hydrothermal process using a poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) solution as a black coloring agent for the EPD. The dispersion behavior of N-CBs was investigated in various solvents.

  • According to the recent demand for materials for use in various displays and solid state lightings, new phosphors with improved performance have been pursued consistently. Multi objective genetic algorithm assisted combinatorial material search (MOGACMS) strategies have been applied to various multi-compositional inorganic systems to search for new phosphors and to optimize the properties of phosphors.

  • This study aims to measure the result of R&D support projects on the beneficiary companies of the World Class 300 project, a representative domestic middle market enterprise incubation project. In particular, beneficiary companies were classified into industry groups(materials, components, equipment, modules, consumer goods) and the empirical study was conducted on how the result of R&D support project was differentiated by each industry group's characteristics. The analysis was performed on 272 companies selected as WC300 project during 2011 to 2017. The result of Panel regression Analysis confirmed that R&D support project had divergent influences on the performance (net profit) of companies depending on which industry group they belong. The samples of materials, components, equipment companies turned out not to have statistical significance. The samples of modules companies showed negative correlations, while those of consumer goods was observed to have positive correlations. This study demonstrates that it is essential to plan and implement policies suited to the characteristics of each industry groups to maximize the effect of R&D support projects henceforward.

  • Microfluidics can provide unique experimental tools to visualize the development of neural structures within a microscale device, which is followed by guidance of neurite growth in the axonal isolation compartment. We utilized microfluidics technology to monitor the differentiation and migration of neural cells derived from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). We co-cultured hESCs with PA6 stromal cells, and isolated neural rosette-like structures, which subsequently formed neurospheres in suspension culture. Tuj1-positive neural cells, but not nestin-positive neural precursor cells (NPCs), were able to enter the microfluidics grooves (microchannels), suggesting that neural cell-migratory capacity was dependent upon neuronal differentiation stage. We also showed that bundles of axons formed and extended into the microchannels. Taken together, these results demonstrated that microfluidics technology can provide useful tools to study neurite outgrowth and axon guidance of neural cells, which are derived from human embryonic stem cells.

  • Recently, there is growing interests in the application of supercritical fluids for food and medical fields since supercritical fluids ($CO_2$ and $N_2O$) have known to be safe and effective as a non-thermal sterilization technique. Although supercritical fluids have been investigated for various kinds of products, they have not yet been used in common currency due to their lack of knowledge related to the antimicrobial activity or detailed mechanisms. In this review paper, we summarized the characteristics, antimicrobial activity and mechanisms, important factors, and applicability of supercritical fluids to help the investigation and commercialization of supercritical fluids sterilization technique.

  • Altered acetylcholine (Ach) homeostasis is associated with loss of viability in flies, developmental defects in mice, and cognitive deficits in human. Here, we assessed the importance of Ach in Caenorhabditis elegans development, focusing on the role of Ach during dauer formation. We found that dauer formation was disturbed in choline acetyltransferase (cha-1) and acetylcholinesterase (ace) mutants defective in Ach biosynthesis and degradation, respectively. When examined the potential role of G-proteins in dauer formation, goa-1 and egl-30 mutant worms, expressing mutated versions of mammalian $G_o$ and $G_q$ homolog, respectively, showed some abnormalities in dauer formation. Using quantitative mass spectrometry, we also found that dauer larvae had lower Ach content than did reproductively grown larvae. In addition, a proteomic analysis of acetylcholinesterase mutant worms, which have excessive levels of Ach, showed differential expression of metabolic genes. Collectively, these results indicate that alterations in Ach release may influence dauer formation in C. elegans.
