The influences of testa-removal of seed, partial cutting of embryo, xylene treatment, growth regulator, chemical treatment and low temperature treatment on the seed germination of Lycoris aurea were investigated. The germination rate of the testa-removed seeds was higher than that of the whole seeds, and the seeds treated by testa-removal+xylene was 63% of germination. $GA_3$ was more effective than kinetin treatment, and seeds treated with $GA_3$ 200ppm showed 60% of germination. $KNO_3$ was more effective than KOH treatment, and seeds treated with 0. 1% $KNO_3$ was 76% of germination. The seeds, stored for two months at $5^{\circ}C$, showed the highest germination rate with 93%

This experiment was conducted to enhance horticultural utilization value of wild graminaceous species on rooftop gardening purpose. Seeds of Pennisetum were harvested 5 times at an interval of 2 weeks from 2 October to 25 November in 2008. Seeds were soaked into solution of $GA_3$ different concentrations and incubated at the condition of $20^{\circ}C$ and $25^{\circ}C$ each for 12 hrs. Germination rate of the after-ripening seeds was above 80% in the 17 and 31 October and 13 November harvest, but germination rate of seeds harvested in the 2 October and 25 November was below 70%. Fresh seed germination and early growth of shoot and root after germination were promoted by $GA_3$ treatment. Effect of $GA_3$ treatments on germinability of fresh seeds was more prominent in the seeds harvested on 2 October and 25 November.

In this paper, we prepared $Cu(In,Ga)Se_2$ thin films by using co-evaporation method, and analyzed the properties of the thin films. During the thin film preparation process, we confirmed $InGaSe_2$ phase was formed at $400^{\circ}C$ in first stage, and also confirmed the thin films showed the vacancy decrease. In second and third stage, we confirmed the density increase of crystalline structure at over $480^{\circ}C$ and the formation of $Cu(In_{0.7}Ga_{0.3})Se_2$ phase. As the result of SEM and XRD analysis of the films which were before and after heat-treated, we confirmed the disappearance of $Cu_2Se_2$ and the formation of $Cu(In_{0.7}Ga_{0.3})Se_2$ single phase after the heat-treatment, We, therefore, confirmed the heat-treatment did not affect the absorbency spectra of the thin films.

This study attempted to manufacture a Cu-15 at.%Ga coating layer via the cold spray process and investigated the effect of heat treatment environment on the properties of cold sprayed coating material. Three kinds of heat treatment environments, $5%H_2$+argon, pure argon, and vacuum were used in this study. Annealing treatments were conducted at $200{\sim}800^{\circ}C$/1 hr. With the cold sprayed coating layer, pure ${\alpha}$-Cu and small amounts of $Ga_2O_3$ were detected in the XRD, EDS, EPMA analyses. Porosity significantly decreased and hardness also decreased with increasing annealing temperature. The inhomogeneous dendritic microstructure of cold sprayed coating material changed to the homogeneous and dense one (microstructural evolution) with annealing heat treatment. Oxides near the interface of particles could be reduced by heat treatment especially in vacuum and argon environments. Vacuum environment during heat treatment was suggested to be most effective one to improve the densification and purification properties of cold sprayed Cu-15 at.%Ga coating material.

In this study, we report the effect of pre-treatment of alpha-$Ga_2O_3$ grown on a sapphire substrate by halide vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE). During the pre-treatment process, 10 sccm of GaCl gas was injected to the sapphire substrate at $470^{\circ}C$. The surface morphologies of the alpha-$Ga_2O_3$ layers grown with various pre-treatment time (3, 5, and 10 min) were flat and crack-free. The transmittance of the alpha-$Ga_2O_3$ epi-layers was measured to analyze their optical properties. The transmittance was over 80% within the range of visible light. The strain in the alpha-$Ga_2O_3$ grown with a pre-treat 5 min was measured, and was found to be close to the theoretical XRD peak position. This can be explained by the reduction of strain having caused a lattice mismatch between the alpha-$Ga_2O_3$ layer and sapphire substrate. The calculated dislocation density of the screw and edge were $2.5{\times}10^5cm^{-2}$ and $8.8{\times}10^9cm^{-2}$, respectively.

Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is associated with various human diseases, such as cancer, auto-immune disease, and intestinal inflammation. The limited and inadequate effect of standard approaches for treating inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has prompted to develop alternative anti-colitis agents through inhibition of STAT3. Here, we show that gallic acid (GA), a 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoic acid, markedly reduced phosphorylation of STAT3. Among the derivatives of benzoic acids, GA showed significant inhibition on STAT3 phosphorylation. In addition, GA ameliorated the dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced acute colitis as determined by the measurement of symptomatic and histological indices. The suppression of DSS-induced acute colitis by GA treatment may be related to the regulation of cytokines and growth factors. Furthermore, GA inhibited phosphorylation of STAT3 in the colon tissue of DSS-treated mice. These findings may be useful in comprehending the molecular action of GA on STAT3 phosphorylation and provide novel insights into the potential application of GA in the treatment of STAT3-related inflammatory disease, such as IBD.

The room-temperature operating semiconductor GaMnN is known to be improved in its magnetic property when a highly conductive precipitate $Mn_3$GaN exists. Therefore, it is useful to investigate the behavior of the precipitate through heat treatments for further improvement of its magnetic property. Furthermore, neutron irradiation may further influence the behavior of the precipitates, and consequently, their effects on the magnetization. With the heat treatment, $Mn_3$GaN decomposed and a new phase of $Mn_3$Ga has generated. The kinetics was accelerated by neutron irradiation, which might generate defects that can help the decomposition of N and/or the formation of $Mn_3$Ga. The increase and decrease of the magnetization of the heat-treated GaMnN thin films were explained consistently by the behavior of the precipitates.

The biochemical effects of ABA and $GA_3$ on rice seedling stages were investigated from two rice cultivars, Dongjinbyeo and Samgangbyeo. Some of the results obtained are as follows ; The shoot growth was significantly increased at all concentrations of $GA_3$ compared to the control but it was completely inhibited by ABA. The root length was not affected by all concentrations of $GA_3$ except for the highest concentration of $10^{-3}M$. ABA had an inhibitary effect on root growth and showed similar trend to the shoot growth. By increasing the concentration of $GA_3$, sugar content of rice seedlings was increased and starch content was decreased. On the contrary, the treatment of ABA revealed that sugar content was decreasing with higher level of starch content. Chlorophyll content was greatly reduced at the all concentrations of $GA_3$ in both cultivars tested. Generally, the responses of root activity decreased with treatment of $GA_3$ but no difference in the activity was observed in Samgangbyeo. Major fatty acids of rice seedlings were investigated as palmitic, oleic, and linoleic acid with little contents of linolenic acid and stearic acid. The contents of these fatty acids were decreased with ABA and increased with $GA_3$ treatment, respectively. A protein band of 24 kD in the electrophoresis was observed with ABA treated rice seedlings but not with $GA_3$.

We investigate the immobilization of trypsin on chitosan nonwoven using glutaraldehyde (GA). The conditions for trypsin on chitosan nonwoven and GA cross-linking were optimized depending on different conditions. The order of GA cross-linking was determined by the activity of immobilized trypsin. The characteristics of chitosan nonwoven were examined by Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) and surface morphology analyses (SEM). Results showed that the optimal treatment conditions for trypsin on chitosan nonwoven were as follows: pH 8.5; temperature $37^{\circ}C$; trypsin concentration 15% (o.w.f); and treatment time 60 min. Those for GA cross-linking were: pH 10.0; GA concentration 3% (v/v); and treatment time 120 min. FT-IR analysis showed that GA was cross-linked on chitosan nonwoven. The SEM analysis also showed that trypsin was immobilized on chitosan nonwoven.
