Divalent europium-activated $Ca_2PO_4Cl$ phosphor powders were prepared by a chemical synthetic method followed by heat treatment in reduced atmosphere, and the crystal structures, morphologies and photoluminescence properties of the powders were investigated by x-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscope and spectrometer. The effect of Ca/P mole ratio at the starting materials on the final products was evaluated. The optimized synthesis condition obtained in this study was Ca/P mole ratio of 2.0. The present phosphor materials had higher photoluminescence intensity and better color purity than the commercial blue phosphor powders, $(Ca,Ba,Sr)_{10}(PO_4)_6Cl_2:Eu^{2+}$. The result of excitation spectrum measurement indicated that the excitation efficiency of the synthesized powders was higher for the long-wavelength UV region than that of the commercial phosphor. It was thus concluded that the samples prepared in this study can be successfully applied for the light-emitting devices such as LED excited with long-wavelength UV light sources.

Callus and cell suspension cultures of Eurycoma longifolia Jack were initiated from leaves of different trees. The leaf explant of tree Eu9 produced the most calli and also induced high cell biomass in the cell suspension culture. Optimum production of cell biomass could be initiated in proliferating culture medium with a pH of 5.75 prior to autoclaving. The effects of macronutrient inorganic salts of Murashige and Skoog (MS) liquid medium supplemented with X on production of cell biomass of Eurycoma longifolia were also investigated. The highest cell biomass was produced in MS medium containing macronutrients of $21\;mM\;NH_4NO_3,\;12.25\;mM\;KNO_3,\;3.00\;mM\;CaCl_2.2H_2O,\;0.575\;mM\;MgSO_4.7H_2O$, and $1.83\;mM\;KH_2PO_4$. A new medium labeled as TAM was formulated for the production of Eurycoma longifolia cell biomass in the cell suspension culture.
