This paper describes the application of bioluminescence stimulating agents on a genetically engineered microorganism, Pseudomonas putida mt-2 KG1206, to monitor toluene analogs using in groundwater samples from petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated sites. The maximum bioluminescent response with pure chemicals followed in the order: m-methyl benzyl alchohol > m-toluate > toluene > m-xylene > benzoate > p-xylene > o-xylene. Generally, the bioluminescence production of strain mixed with groundwater samples was dependent on the contaminated total inducer concentrations. However, few samples showed opposite results, where these phenomena may be caused by the complexicity of environmental samples. Two chemicals, SL(sodium lactate) and KNO$_3$, were tested to determine a better bioluminescence stimulant. Both chemicals stimulate the bioluminescence activity of strain KG1206, however, a slightly high bioluminescence was observed with nitrogen chemical. This selected stimulant was then tested on samples collected from contaminated groundwater samples. The bioluminescence activity of all samples mixed with the strain was stimulated with KNO$_3$ amendment. This suggests that the low bioluminescence activity exhibited by the environmental groundwater samples can be stimulated by amending the culture with a proper agent, such as nitrogen compound. These findings would be useful, especially, when strain was used to monitor the groundwater samples contaminated with low inducer contaminants. Overall, the results of this study found the ability of bioluminescence producing bacteria to biosensor a specific group of environmental contaminants, and suggest the potential for more efficient preliminary application of this engineered strain in a field-ready bioassay.

고 효율의 유기 발광 소자 개발을 위해 무엇보다 발광 소자의 각층의 에너지 대 구조를 고려한 구조 개선과 새로운 유기물질 합성을 통해 구동전압을 낮춤으로써 전력효율을 높이고, 소모 전력을 낮추며, 수명을 증가시킬 수 있어, 많은 연구자들이 유기 발광 소자의 효율을 향상시키기 위해 다양한 노력들을 시도하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 고 효율화를 위한 방법으로 유기 발광 소자에 있어서 전자주입에 필요한 전압을 낮추고 전자 주입을 촉진시키기 위하여 발광물질의 LUMO(LOWEST UNOCCUPIED MOLECULAR ORBITAL) 준위와 음극 금속의 페르미 준위를 고려하여 전자 주입시 전위 장벽을 낮출 수 있는 에너지 대 구조를 가진 전자 주입 층을 검토하였고, 정공 주입을 촉진시키기 위하여 양극 금속의 페르미 에너지 준위와 발광 층의 HOMO(HIGHEST OCCUPIED MOLECULAR ORBITAL) 준위를 고려하여 정공 주입시 전위장벽을 낮출 수 있는 적절한 에너지 대 구조를 가진 정공 주입 층에 대하여 고찰하였다.

최근의 디스플레이 시장에서는 고효율 저전력, 자발광 소자인 OLED가 차세대 디스플레이 시장의 블루칩으로써 연구되고 개선되어 왔다. 고효율, 고휘도 구현이 가능한 OLED 소자는 초기 발광 시 수명감소, 저전류 구동 효율 개선 및 소자의 유기 재료 개선의 문제점에 직면해 있기 때문에 많은 가능성을 아직 현실화 하지 못하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 전기적 스트레스를 가한 OLED 소자의 전기적, 광학적 성질을 측정함으로써 열화에 따른 소자의 특성 변화를 확인하여 문제점을 개선하는데 기여하고자 한다. $2{\times}2$ inch Glass에 $2{\times}2$ mm 크기의 발광면적을 갖는 Red OLED 소자를 제작한 후 Source Measure Unit을 이용, 8 V의 과전압을 72시간 동안 인가하여 소자의 열화현상을 가속시켰다. 이후 I-V-L 장비를 이용하여 전기적 특성 및 휘도 특성을 측정하였다. 측정된 결과는 휘도가 8 V에서 10,620 cd/$m^2$ ＞ 9,849 cd/$m^2$ (약 7.2% 감소)로 변화한 것을 확인 하였으며, 휘도 효율과 전력 효율을 측정해본 결과 8 V 에서의 소비전력 효율 역시 16%에서 ＞ 15%로(약 1%감소) 변화하였으나 안정적으로 발광이 유지되는 3 V~6 V 구간에서는 효율이 약 13%가 감소하였다. 또한 휘도 효율은 8 V 기준으로 1% , 3 V~6 V 구간에서는 약 8% 감소하였다. 본 연구 결과를 통하여 OLED 소자의 열화 현상은 소자의 휘도 감소뿐만 아니라 소비전력증가, 열화현상의 촉진으로 이어지는 것으로 확인 되었다.

To construct the design back data for a lean-burn gas engine, we investigated the combustion characteristics in the main chamber using a constant volume combustion chamber with subchamber. The combustion characteristics with configuration change of the critical passageholes have been studied by taking pressure data, schlieren photograph, ion current and light emission signal of flame. Heat release rate with various critical passageholes also have been analysed by using the combustion model of a prechamber diesel engine. It was found that combustion characteristics in the main combustion chamber were greatly influenced by the geometric configurations of critical passagehole.

We investigated the effect of monochromatic light emitting diode (LED) on the growth of diatoms Nitzschia sp., Phaeodactylum tricornutum, Skeletonema sp. and green algae Chlorella vulgaris. The four microalgae species were cultured under blue LED (450 nm), yellow LED (590 nm), red LED (650 nm) and fluorescent lamp (mixed wavelengths). The maximum growth rates and cell densities of Nitzschia sp., P. tricornutum and Skeletonema sp. were highest under blue LED, followed by fluorescent lamp, red LED and then yellow LED, however those of C. vulgaris were highest under red LED. This result indicates that blue LED is favorable for the growth of diatoms. Thus, the growth of microalgae under monochromatic light might be species-specific or taxon-specific. Also, these results could be used as an important information in future for remediation of heavy metal contamination in the sediments using LED and microalgae.

Finding the blood left at a crime scene is very important to reconstruct or solve a criminal case. Although numerous reagents have been developed for use at crime scenes, luminol is the most representative. Bluestar Forensic has been used in recent years, but is expensive and cannot be stored after preparation. This study aims to develop a new luminol reagent that can be stored for a long period of time while maintaining the chemiluminescence intensity at the level of Bluestar Forensic. Because luminol dissolves well in aqueous alkaline solutions, the use of sodium hydroxide in the preparation of luminol reagents can promote the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. Magnesium sulfate, sodium silicate, and potassium triphosphate have been used as hydrogen peroxide stabilizers. The effects of the addition of these substances on the chemiluminescence emission intensity and the storage period of the luminol reagents were confirmed. The addition of a hydrogen peroxide stabilizer was shown to have no significant affect on the chemiluminescence emissions intensity or stabilized pH of the luminol reagent during storage. It also greatly increases the shelf life of the reagents. The use of magnesium sulfate as a hydrogen peroxide stabilizer is the most appropriate. When sodium perborate is used instead of hydrogen peroxide as an oxidizing agent, there is no significant change in the sensitivity and chemiluminescence emissions intensity, but the storage period is shortened. However, after the reaction with blood, the pH of the mixed solution does not increase significantly, and is judged to be more suitable than a reagent made of hydrogen peroxide.

Photobiomodulation (PBM)-based therapy, which uses a phenomenon in which a light source of a specific wavelength band promotes ATP production in mitochondria, has attracted much attention in the fields of biology and medicine because of its effects on wound healing, inflammation reduction, and pain relief. Research on PBM-based therapy has mainly used lasers and light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as light sources and, despite the advantages of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), there have been only a few cases where OLEDs were used in PBM-based therapy. In this research, the skin-care effect of PBM was analyzed using red (λ = 620 nm), green (λ = 525 nm), and blue (λ = 455 nm) OLED lighting modules, and was compared to the PBM effect of LEDs. We demonstrated the PBM-based skin-care effect of the red, green, blue OLED lighting modules by measuring the increase in the amount of collagen type-1 synthesis, the inhibition of melanin synthesis, and the suppression of nitric oxide generation, respectively.

유도결합플라즈마를 적용한 화학기상증착법으로 $TiO_2$ 박막을 얻었다. 박막의 특성 조절을 위해 수소유량을 변화시켰다. 수소 유량을 증가시킴에 따라 박막의 표면 형상, 결정성, 결정 구조 및 광촉매 특성이 변하였다. 고밀도 플라즈마가 반응 기체의 분해를 촉진함으로써 외부 가열없이 아나타제 $TiO_2$가 만들어졌다. 적절한 양의 수소를 첨가했을 때, 루타일 상으로 상전이가 발생하였다. 화학기상증착법에서 루타일 $TiO_2$는 일반적으로 900 K 이상의 고온에서 형성되는 것으로 알려져 있다. 수소의 역할을 고찰하기 위해 랭뮤어 탐 침법과 발광 분광기를 이용한 플라즈마 진단을 수행하였다.

The role and effect of Sb surfactant on structure and properties of p type gallium nitride (GaN) epilayers have been investigated. It was found that there was a increase of hole concentration with Sb surfactant, compared to typical Mg-doped p-GaN. The structural and optical quality of p-GaN epilayers were accessed by x-ray diffraction, photoluminescence and atomic force microscope measurements. The results clearly show that the increase in hole concentration with Sb surfactant can be resulted from decrease in the dislocations and nitrogen point defects.
