  • In this paper, we developed a green home simulator using LabVIEW for house designers or users to assess energy saving costs in an easy and direct way. The LabVIEW simulator has a strong graphic user interface, which is intuitive to general users. Therefore, the developed simulator enables one to gather information on electric power consumed in its house and to calculate efficiency for installing green energy generators such as solar and wind power generators. As an actual application, we simulate and compare the efficiencies of installing green energy generators at various cities and seasons using the developed LabVIEW simulator. The simulation results confirm that energy saving effects of green energies are easy to calculate by the proposed green home simulator.

  • It is well established that blocking the interaction of EGFR with growth factors leads to the arrest of tumor growth, resulting in tumor cell death. ER414 is a human monoclonal antibody (mAb) derived by guided selection of the mouse mAb A13. The ER414 exhibited a ~17-fold lower affinity and, as a result, lower efficacy of inhibition of the EGF-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation of EGFR when compared with mAb A13 and cetuximab. We performed a stepwise in vitro affinity maturation to improve the affinity of ER414. We obtained a 3D model of ER414 to identify the amino acids in the CDRs that needed to be mutated. Clones were selected from the phage library with randomized amino acids in the CDRs and substitution of amino acids in the HCDR3 and LCDR1 of ER414 led to improved affinity. A clone, H3-14, with a ~20-fold increased affinity, was selected from the HCDR3 randomized library. Then three clones, ER2, ER78 and ER79, were selected from the LCDR1 randomized library based on the H3-14 but did not show further increased affinities compared to that of H3-14. Of the three, ER2 was chosen for further characterization due to its better expression than others. We successfully performed affinity maturation of ER414 and obtained antibodies with a similar affinity as cetuximab. And antibody from an affinity maturation inhibits the EGF-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation of EGFR in a manner similar to cetuximab.

  • The solubility of N,N'-Bis(salicylidene) ethylenediamine (n-salen) and N,N'-bis(3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylidene) ethylenediamine (t-butyl-salen) was studied with in-situ UV-VIS spectrometer. n-Salen is 3-5 times more soluble than t-butyl-salen in liquid or supercritical $CO_2$. This behavior may be attributed to Lewis acid-base interaction between salen and $CO_2$. The chelation of salen with $Co^{++}$ ion in supercritical condition was confirmed to be fast enough above room temperature. However, the metal ion extraction capability of t-butyl salen is relatively poor because of its low solubility and ionic nature of complex.

  • The protective layer of AC-PDP was fabricated by laminating an MgO green sheet. The MgO green sheet was made by coating MgO solution composed of solvent, dispersant, binder, and MgO nano-powder. The MgO solution was coated by the die casting method on the base film. We fabricated three kinds of MgO green sheets of which thicknesses were 20, 28, and $40\;{\mu}m$, respectively. The MgO nano-powder showed lower CL intensity and ${\gamma}i$ than the e-beam MgO. The MgO green sheet applied panels showed low luminance and current density. The efficiency was almost same as the conventional e-beam MgO panel.

  • Density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) calculations have been employed to investigate the molecular structures and absorption spectra of two dyes containing diphenylaniline and 4-diphenylamino-diphenylaniline as donor moiety (TPA1 and TPA3). The geometries indicate that the strong conjugation is formed in the dyes. The electronic structures suggest that the intramolecular charge transfer from the donor to the acceptor occurs, and the electron-donating capability of 4-diphenylamino-diphenylaniline is stronger than that of diphenylaniline. The computed highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy levels are -5.31 and -4.90 eV, while the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energies are -2.29 and -2.26 eV for TPA1 and TPA3, respectively, revealing that the interfacial charge transfer between the dyes and the semiconductor electrode are electron injection processes from the photon-excited dyes to the semiconductor conduction band. Furthermore, all the experimental absorption bands of TPA1 and TPA3 have been assigned according to the TDDFT calculations.

  • The dielectric medium used in electrophoretic displays (EPDs) is required to be an environmentally friendly solvent with high density, low viscosity, and a large electric constant. Hydrofluoroether, a highly fluorinated solvent with eco-friendly characteristics, is regarded as a viable alternative medium for EPDs, owing to the similarity of its physical properties to those of the conventional EPD medium. Surface modification of particles is required, however, in order for it to disperse in the charged solvent. Also, positive/negative charges should be present on the particle surface to enable electrophoretic behavior. In this study, carbon black particles wrapped with positively charged nitrogen (N-CBs) were fabricated by a simple hydrothermal process using a poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) solution as a black coloring agent for the EPD. The dispersion behavior of N-CBs was investigated in various solvents.

  • Cobalt (cyclam) complex has been successfully immobilized onto SBA-15, and proven to be an active catalyst for the epoxidation of styrene with tert-butyl hydroperoxide as a terminal oxidant. The selectivity for styrene oxide was observed to be up to 66% with 40% styrene conversion after 12h reaction time. The reversible redox cycle between Co(III) and Co(II) couple which was supposed to play key role during the epoxidation reaction was supported by a cyclic voltametry analysis. The textural properties of the catalyst was characterized by XRD, N2 adsorption-desorption, and TEM analysis.

  • One of the most efficient techniques improving the heat transfer performance of a diesel electric generation is a corrosion control in jacket cooling water system. The environmental parameters most affecting corrosion are dissolved salt concentration, temperature, and pH of cooling water. No corrosion occurs in carbon steel probe at pH 11 in normal operating condition of diesel electric generation cooling water. pH control agent in this study is trisodium phosphate. pH control appears to be the most convenient way to enhance the thermal performance of a diesel electric generation.
