Single-phased $CaZrO_3:Dy^{3+}$, $Tm^{3+}$ series have been successfully synthesized by solid-state reaction, and their luminescence properties were investigated. Under 355 nm excitation, $CaZrO_3:Dy^{3+}$ series showed characteristic emission of $Dy^{3+}$, which exhibited yellowish white color. By introducing $Tm^{3+}$ into the matrix, the emitted hue of the $Dy^{3+}$-doped sample could be easily tailored to white, and simultaneously, energy transfer from $Tm^{3+}$ to $Dy^{3+}$ was observed. The color coordinates of the optimum white-emitting sample were (0.321, 0.323), which were very close to the data of the National Television Standard Committee (0.33, 0.33). The co-activated phosphors presented good match to ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (LEDs), which revealed that they could be novel promising phosphors utilized in white LED application.

The effect of Dy addition on the microstructure and magnetic properties of the sintered NdFeB magnets was investigated. The results of the microstructure analysis showed that Dy-free and Dy-doped samples are composed of $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ (P42/mnm) and a trace of Nd-rich phase. Dy addition reduces significantly the pole density factor of (004), (006) and (008) crystal faces as estimated by the Horta formula. Accordingly, the coercivity of the Dy-doped sample increases from 2038 $kA{\cdot}m^{-1}$ up to 2288 $kA{\cdot}m^{-1}$. The $H_{cj}(T)/M_s(T)$ versus $H^{min}_N/M_s(T)$ (Kronm$\ddot{u}$ller-plot) behavior shows that the nucleation is the dominating mechanism for the magnetization reversal in these two kinds of magnets, and two microstructural parameters of ${\alpha}_k$ and $N_{eff}$ are obtained. The Kronm$\ddot{u}$ller-Plot gives evidence for an increase of the ${\alpha}_k$ responsible for an increase of the coercivity as the result of the increase of the magnetic field as the magnetic domain reversed.

In a previous study, a new antibacterial activity was found from Paenibacillus polymyxa DY1 isolated from Korean soil, which showed a good growth inhibition against various multidrug resistant enteric bacteria. Thus the effect of nutritional factors and physicochemical conditions on the growth of P. polymyxa DY1 cells and the production of antibacterial activity were evaluated in this study. For the growth of P. polymyxa DY1 cells the optimum condition reaches by incubating at $35^{\circ}C$ for 48 hours by shaking at 180 rpm in the basal medium containing 0.6% dextrose, 1.4% ammonium phosphate dibasic, 0.9% peptone, 2.4% glutamine, and 2 mM sodium molybdate with initial pH 8.0. A maximum level of antibacterial activity was obtained when P. polymyxa DY1 was incubated at $35^{\circ}C$ for 48 hours by shaking at 180 rpm in the basal medium with initial pH 8.0 containing 1% dextrose, 1.5% ammonium sulfate, 1.1% casamino acid, 1.9% aspartic acid, and 2 mM ferrous sulfate.

The nonohmic characteristics of ZnO-$Pr_6O_{11}$-CoO-based ceramic varistor doped with $Dy_2O_3$ in the range $0.0\sim2.0mol%$ sintered at $1300^{\circ}C$ and $1350^{\circ}C$ were investigated. 98.5 ZnO-$0.5Pr_6O_{11}$-1.0CoO varistor sintered at $130^{\circ}C$ exhibited higher nonlinear coefficient of 36 than the established Pr-based varistor. The four-component-system varistor such as 96.5 ZnO-$0.5Pr_6O_{11}$-1.0CoO-$2.0Dy_2O_3$ exhibited very highly nonohmic characteristics, which has nonlinear coefficient of 53.9. 98.5ZnO-$0.5Pr_6O_{11}$-1.0CoO varistor sintered at $1350^{\circ}C$, in contrast with that of $1300^{\circ}C$, exhibited approximately ohmic characteristics but nonlinear coefficient of varistor doped with 0.5mol% $Dy_2O_3$ showed higher nonlinear coefficient of probably 35. Consequently, it can be confirmed that $Dy_2O_3$ acted as additive of improvement on nonlinear coefficient. It is estimated that $Dy_2O_3$ will be used as additive of improvement on nonlinear coefficient to develop a goof ZnO varistor.

Both photoluminescence and the long-phosphorescent properties for $SrAl_2O_4$ : Eu$^{+2}$, $Dy^{+3}$ phosphor powder synthesized by the solid phase reaction were investigated as a function of $B_2O_3$ composition (0-10 wt%). The highest emission wavelength (520nm) of photoluminescence spectra was not affected by $B_2O_3$concentration. The highest emission intensity was obtained by the concentration of 3 wt% $B_2O_3$.After the removal of the Xenon lamp excitation (360nm), also, the excellent long-phosphorescent property of the phosphors was obtained by the concentration of 3 wt% $B_2O_3$ although the decay times for all phosphors decreased exponentially.

The Metal-ferroelectric-semiconductor (MFS) structure has superior advantages such as high density integration and non-destructive read-out operation. However, to obtain the desired electrical characteristics of an MFS structure is difficult because of interfacial reactions between ferroelectric thin film and Si substrate. As an alternative solution, the MFS structure with buffer insulating layer, i.e. metal-ferroelectric-insulator-semiconductor (MFIS), has been proposed to improve the interfacial properties. Insulators investigated as a buffer insulator in a MFIS structure, include $Ta_2O_5$, $HfO_2$, and $ZrO_2$ which are mainly high-k dielectrics. In this study, we prepared the Dy-doped $La_2O_3$ solution buffer layer as an insulator. To form a Dy-doped $La_2O_3$ buffer layer, the solution was spin-coated on p-type Si(100) wafer. The coated Dy-doped $La_2O_3$ films were annealed at various temperatures by rapid thermal annealing (RTA). To evaluate electrical properties, Au electrodes were thermally evaporated onto the surface of the samples. Finally, we observed the surface morphology and crystallization quality of the Dy-doped $La_2O_3$ on Si using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and x-ray diffractometer (XRD), respectively. To evaluate electrical properties, the capacitance-voltage (C-V) and current density-voltage (J-V) characteristics of Au/Dy-doped La2O3/Si structure were measured.

(Ba,Sr,Ca)$TiO_3$ powders, which were prepared by sol-gel method using a solution of Ba-, Sr- and Ca-acetate and Ti iso-propoxide, were mixed with organic vehicle and the BSCT thick films were fabricated by the screen-printing techniques on high purity alumina substrates. The structural and dielectirc properties were investigated for various $Dy_2O_3$ doping contents. As a result of thermal analysis, the exothermic peak was observed at around 670^{\circ}C $ due to the formation of the polycrystalline perovskite phase. All BSCT thick films, sintered at $1420^{\circ}C$ for 2h, showed the typical XRD patterns of perovskite polycrystalline structure and no pyrochlore phase was observed. The average grain size of the specimens decreased with increasing amount of $Dy_2O_3$. The average grain size and thickness of the BSCT specimens doped with 0.1 mol% $Dy_2O_3$ were approximately $1.9{\mu}m$ and $70{\mu}m$, respectively. The relative dielectric constant decreased and dielectric loss increased with increasing amount of $Dy_2O_3$, the values of the BSCT thick films doped with 0.1 mol% $Dy_2O_3$ were 3697 and 0.4% at 1 kHz, respectively. The leakage current densities in all BSCT thick films were less than $10^{-9}A/cm^2$ at the applied electric field range of 0-20 kV/cm.

$SrAl_2O_4$: $Eu^{2+}$ and $Dy^{3+}$ phosphorescent phosphors were synthesized using the polymerized complex method. Generally, phosphorescent phosphors synthesized by conventional solid state reaction show a micro-sized particle diameter; thus, this process is restricted to applications such as phosphorescent ink and paint. However, it is possible to synthesize homogeneous multi-component powders with fine particle diameter by wet process such as the polymerized complex method. The characteristics of $SrAl_2O_4$: $Eu^{2+}$ and $Dy^{3+}$ powders prepared by polymerized complex method with one and two step calcination processes were comparatively analyzed. Temperatures of organic material removal and crystallization were observed through TG-DTA analysis. The crystalline phase and crystallite size of the $SrAl_2O_4$: $Eu^{2+}$ and $Dy^{3+}$ phosphorescent phosphors were analyzed by XRD. Microstructures and afterglow characteristics of the $SrAl_2O_4$: $Eu^{2+}$ and $Dy^{3+}$ phosphors were measured by SEM and spectrofluorometry, respectively.

The present study was carried out to investigate the antiobesity and hypocholesterolemic effects of Bifidobacteria animalis DY-64 (B. animalis DY-64), a lactic acid bacterium isolated from the human intestine, in rats fed a high-fat/high-cholesterol diet for 4 weeks. Forty male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups and fed either a normal (N) or high-fat/high-cholesterol (HFC) diet without or with oral administration of B. animalis DY-64 (N-BA, HFC-BA). The gain in body weight, and liver and adipose tissue weights of the HFC group were heavier than that of the HFC-BA group. Serum total cholesterol (TC), LDL-cholesterol, and leptin levels of the HFC group, which were significantly elevated compared to those of the N group, dropped by 19, 18, 21, and 13% in the HFC-BA group, respectively, whereas the serum HDL-cholesterol level markedly increased. However, serum TG, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, and leptin levels were not significantly different among the N groups (N, N-BA) with or without B. animalis DY-64 administration. TC and TG levels of the liver as well as the TG level of the adipose tissue were significantly reduced in the HFC-BA group. In addition, HR-LPL activity in adipose tissue was also lower in the HFC-BA group than in the HFC group. These results suggest that B. animalis DY-64 isolated from the human intestine exerts hypocholesterolemic effects by reducing serum and liver cholesterol levels and plays a role in the prevention of obesity induced by HFC diet.

$SrAl_2O_4$:$Eu^{2+}, Dy^{3+}$ 축광성 형광체의 합성에 있어서 $B_2O_3$는 일반적으로 고상반응의 촉진을 위한 플럭스로서 첨가된다. 본 연구에서는 플럭스로 첨가되는 $B_2O_3$가 $SrAl_2O_4$:$Eu^{2+}, Dy^{3+}$ 형광체의 결정구조 및 잔광 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 합성된 $SrAl_2O_4$:$Eu^{2+}, Dy^{3+}$ 형광체는 520nm에서 최대 피크를 갖는 폭넓은 발광 스펙트럼을 나타내었고, $B_2O_3$ 첨가량의 5wt%일 때 최대값을 나타내었다. $B_2O_3$의 첨가에 의해 $SrAl_2O_4$:$Eu^{2+}, Dy^{3+}$ 결정 내부에는 균일 변형(uniform strain)이 발생하였고 이 결과로 결정격자의 a축과 c축의 길이 및 $\beta$각이 감소하여다. 그리고 $SrAl_2O_4$ 결정내부의 균일 변형은 $Eu^{2+}$이온의 여기과정에서 발생하는 정공(hole)의 포획 사이트인 음이온 결함(negative defect)을 다량 발생시키는 원인이 되고, 결과적으로 $SrAl_2O_4$:$Eu^{2+}, Dy^{3+}$ 결정의 잔광 특성을 향상시키는 것으로 생각되었다.
