We studied the properties of the InAs epitaxial layers grown of (100)-oriented GaAs ($2^{\circ}$tilted toward[011]) by molecular beam epitaxy. From DCX (double-crystal x0ray), the better crystal quality was shown in InAs epitaxial layers on about 2500$\AA$ GaAs epitaxial layers on GaAs, we obtained the high mobility of InAs epitaxy in As/In BEP ratio (1.2~2.0) from Hall effect measurement. The electron mobility increased as electron concentration increases, until Si cell temperature $960^{\circ}C$$(N_D=2.21\times10^{-17}\textrm{cm}^{-3})$. The mobility decreases as the Si cell temperature increases, at the temperature over $960^{\circ}C$. We obtained the high mobility (1.10$\times$104cm2/V.s) at Si electron concentration of $N_D=2.21\times10^{-17}\textrm{cm}^{-3}$.

This study was conducted to monitor the quality characteristics of Acai (Euterpe oleracea Mart.) ethanolic extracts by a response surface methodology. The independent variables in the extraction experiments were ethanol concentration (0~100%), extraction temperature ($35{\sim}95^{\circ}C$), and ratio of solvent to sample (10~30 mL/g). The coefficients of determinations ($R^2$) were 0.9596 (p<0.01), 0.9356 (p<0.01), and 0.8842 (p<0.05) for total polyphenol, total flavonoid, and electron donating ability, respectively. The electron donating ability and nitrite scavenging effect improved with an increase in ethanol concentration as opposed to extraction temperature. Anthocyanin content with extraction conditions was 74.421~291.841 mg/L and the coefficient of determinations ($R^2$) was 0.9792 (p<0.01). ORAC (oxygen radical absorbance capacity) with extraction conditions was 137.73~562.94 ${\mu}moles$ TE/g and increased with an increase in ethanol concentration and a decrease in the ratio of solvent to sample content. Estimated conditions for maximum extraction including yield, total polyphenol, total flavonoid, electron donating ability, anthocyanin content, and ORAC were 28~58% for ethanol concentration, $60{\sim}68^{\circ}C$ for extraction temperature, and 10~12 mL/g for ratio of solvent to sample.

A series of batch and column experiments were conducted for the development of biobarrier technology which can be applied to containment and reduction of contaminants in soil and ground waters. The growth kinetic constants of Pseudomonas fluorescens on glucose or molasses were determined using batch experiments. The maximum specific growth rate (Vmax) of P. fluorescens at $23^{\circ}C$ on glucose or molasses were $0.246\;hr^{-1}$ and $0.073\;hr^{-1}$, respectively. However, molasses was selected as carbon source due largely to the absence of lag phase of P. fluorescens growth on molasses and economic reason. In constant head column experiments, the hydraulic conductivity of the column soil reduced by $6.8{\times}10^{-3}$ times from $4.1{\times}10^{-2}cm/sec$ to $2.8{\times}10^{-4}cm/sec$ after the inoculation of P. fluorescens and administration of carbon source and nutrients. The biomass concentration was observed highest in the column inlet. Measurements of carbon source and electron accepter (dissolved oxygen) concentration showed that the growth of P. fluorescence, which is the main reason for hydraulic conductivity reduction, was limited not by the concentration of carbon source but by the concentration of electron acceptor.

Response surface methodology was used for monitoring changes in phenolic compounds properties of Rubi Fructus extract depening on extraction conditons. The three independent variables (extraction conditions) were ratio of solvent to sample content (5, 10, 15 mL/g), ethanol concentration (20, 40, 60%) and extraction time (2, 4, 6 hr). It was anticipated that each of the five dependent Y variables (responses) would be affected by the three independent variables. The dependent responses were total yield, total phenolics content, electron donating ability, antioxidant ability and nitrite-scavenging ability (pH 1.2, 3.0, 4.2, 6.0). Total yield, total phenolics content, electron donating ability and antioxidant ability were affected by ratio of solvent to sample content. Nitrite- scavenging ability at pH 1.2 and pH 6.0 was affected by ethanol concentration, while it was affected by extraction time at pH 3.0 and pH 4.2. The optimum extraction conditions for total yield were 14.16 mL/g ratio of solvent to sample content,39.08% ethanol concentration and 2.99 hr extraction time. The maximum total phenolics content of extracts were shown at 14.06 mL/g ratio of solvent to sample content, 35.51% ethanol concentration and 3.15 hr extraction time.

This study was conducted to monitor the quality characteristics of Lespedeza cuneata ethanolic extracts, by a response surface methodology. The independent variables were the extraction temperature ($35{\sim}95^{\circ}C}$), extraction time (2~10 hr), and ethanol concentration (10~90%). The coefficients of the determinations (R2) were 0.8562 (p<0.1), 0.9787 (p<0.01), and 0.8344 (p<0.1) in total polyphenol, total flavonoid, and electron donating ability, respectively. The electron donating ability and nitrite scavenging effect were improved with an increase of ethanol concentration, rather than the extraction temperature. ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) with extraction conditions was 1,636.47~2,696.99 ${\mu}moles$ TE/g, and was increased with the increase of extraction temperature and 40~60% of ethanol concentration. Estimated conditions for the maximized extraction including the yield, total polyphenol, electron donating ability, nitrite scavenging effect, and ORAC, were $60{\sim}68^{\circ}C$ in extraction temperature, 6~7 hr in extraction time, and 38~60% in ethanol concentration.

Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to monitor the characteristics of ethanol extracts from Hericium erinaceus. A central composite design was applied to investigate the effects of independent variables, ethanol concentration $(X_1)$, and sample ratio $(X_2)$ on dependent variables, soluble solid $(Y_1)$, total phenols $(Y_2)$, crude protein $(Y_3)$, electron donating ability $(Y_4)$, and browning color $(Y_5)$ of the extracts. As the sample ratio increased, the soluble solid content increased. Ethanol concentration played a minor role. Total phenols and crude protein increased with sample ratio. Sample ratio had a greater effect than alcohol concentration in the extraction of soluble solid, total phenols, crude protein, and browning color, with an exception of electron donating ability. The optimum ranges at 2 hr extraction was $3.9{\sim}5.0\;g/l00\;mL$ in sample ratio and $36{\sim}52%$ in ethanol concentration. Predicted values at the optimized conditions were acceptable when compared to experimental values.

The electrochemical oxidation behavior of p-cresol on platinum anode had been investigated by cyclic voltammetric method for the variation of concentration, scan rate of potential, temperature and pH of electrolyte. The oxidation potential of p-cresol was dependent on the electrolyte until the pH=11.5, but in basic solution over its, it was held at o.40V(vs. SCE). A diffusion was rate determining step of oxidation as irreversible reaction by the transfer atone electron. The current of peak was proportional to concentration of p-cresol until the 0.1N and optimum concentration was found to be about 0.1N. The activation energy was calculated for 5.8kcal/mol from the plot of log $I_l$ vs. 1/T.

A novel and simple method for the synthesis of nano-magnetite particles is disclosed. In the novel procedure, $Fe^{2+}$ is the only source of metal cation. Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) is used as the structure directing agent. The phase analysis of the nano-particles was performed using XRD and electron diffraction techniques. Size and morphology analysis was performed using light scattering and TEM techniques. The effect of $NH_4OH$ solution (32 wt. %) at different CMC concentrations on the size distribution of the final magnetite powders is studied. An optimal base concentration exists for each CMC concentration leading to minimal agglomeration. There exists a minimum CMC concentration (0.0016 wt. %), lower than that no magnetite forms. It is shown that using the new method, it is possible to immobilize a lipase enzyme (Candida Rugosa) with immobilization efficiency larger than 98 % with a loading more than 3 times the reported value in the literature. The latter phenomenon is explained based on the agglomerate state of the nano-particles in the liquid phase.

In this paper, effective thermal conductivities of water-based Al203-nanofluids with low concentration from 0.01 vol. % to 0.3 vol. % are experimentally obtained by transient hot wire method (THWM). The water-based Al203-nanofluids are manufactured by two-step method which is widely used. To examine suspension and dispersion characteristics of the water-based A1203-nanofluids, Zeta potential as well as transmission electron micrograph (TEM) is observed. We confirm the manufactured Al203-nanofluids have good suspension and dispersion. The effective thermal conductivities of the water-based Al203-nanofluids with low concentration are enhanced up to 1.64% compared with that of DI water at $21^{\circ}C$. In addition, experimental results are compared with theoretical results from Jang and Choi model.

$TiO_2$ nanotubes (TNT) synthesized by microwave-assisted hydrothermal method by using $TiO_2-P25$ as a precursor at hydrothermal temperature $150^{\circ}C$ in 4 hours. The concentration of alkaline solution is between 4M and 10M. Samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy (RS), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) and UV-vis DRS spectroscopy. The results demonstrated the effects of the alkali concentration to the formation of nanotubes. The photocatalytic activity was investigated by degradation of Methylene Blue (MB).
