In this research, We fabricated Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) ultra-thin films with (N-docosyl quinolinium)- TCNQ(1:2) complex. The characteristics ${\pi}$-A isotherms were studied to find optimum conditions of deposition by varing temperature of subphase, compression speed of barrier and amount of spreading solution. Film formation was verified by measuring transfer ratio, maximum absorption of UV-vis spectra, capacitance and ellipsometry. From the results, it was concluded that the LB film formed well with molecular oder was fabricated.

In this study, eight soil samples were collected from organic and conventional farms in a central area of South Korea. Spore communities of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and glomalin, a glycoprotein produced by AMF, were analyzed. Spores of Glomus clarum, G. etunicatum, G. mosseae, G. sp., Acaulospora longula, A. spinosa, Gigaspora margarita, and Paraglomus occultum were identified at the study sites, based on morphological and molecular characteristics. While Acaulospora longula was the most dominant species in soils at organic farms, Paraglomus occultum was the most dominant species in soils at conventional farms. Species diversity and species number in AMF communities found in soils from organic farms were significantly higher than in soils from conventional farms. Glomalin was also extracted from soil samples collected at organic and conventional farms and was analyzed using both Bradford and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. The glomalin content in soils from organic farms was significantly higher than in soils from conventional farms. These results indicate that agricultural practices significantly affect AMF abundance and community structure.

Atomic force microscope (AFM) techniques are increasingly used fur tribological studies of engineering surfaces at scales ranging from atomic and molecular to micro-scale. Recently, AFM with suitable tips is being used for nano fabrication/nano machining purposes. In this paper, machining characteristics of silicon were investigated by nano indentation and nano scratch. Nano-scale material removal mechanisms are studied and the Taguchi method was introduced to acquire optimum parameters for nano machining. Also, Acoustic Emission (AR) is used for the monitoring of nano machining.

The studies were conducted to explore the dffects of growth or survival against various factors and plasmid profiles of 49 Y. enterocolitica isolated from springs water. In the presence of calcium hypochlorite, y. enterocolitica was entirely extinguished by exposure for 33 hours at 0.8 ppm concentration, and was grown up to 7% NaCl, but not at 95 NaCI. Y. enterocolitica was presented optimal growth at pH 7.0 anad 9.0, and not allowth the growth at pH3.0, 5.0 and 11.0. The optimal temperature for growth of Y. enterocolitica was 25$\circ$C and 35$\circ$C, and allowed the growth at refrigerant temperature, 5$\circ$C. Y. enterocolitica was remarkably decreased by exposure for 30 seconds under UV light, and entirely extinguished by exposure for 90 seconds. Therefore, UV light was effective for sterilization of Y. enterocolitica. Fourty-nine strains of Y. enterocolitica were harbor plasmid DNA of approximately 46 Kb molecular weight.

A theoretical model of the frost formation has been presented to investigate the characteristics of the growth of frost layer by considering molecular diffusion of water vapor and heat generation caused by sublimation of water vapor in the frost layer. The present model was compared with existing experimental data as well as a previous model. The difference between the present model and existing experimental data was found to be about 6 percent. An analysis for the behavior of frost formation using present model shows a good agreement with the trend for a number of experimentally observed features. The present analysis can also provide the physical understanding on the phenomena of the frost formation.

The objective of the present study was to analyze genetic variation and characteristics in rainbow trout(Oncorhynchus mykiss) using amplified fragment length polymorphism(AFLP) method as molecular genetic technique, to evaluate the usefulness of AFLP as genetic markers, and to compared the efficiency of agarose and polyacrylamide sequencing gels. The amplified products were performed by agarose and sequencing gel electrophoresis to detect AFLP band patterns, respectively. Using 9 primer combinations, total of 141 AFLP bands were produced, 108 bands(82.4％) of which were polymorphic in agarose gels. In sequencing gels, total of 288 bands were generated, and 220 bands (76.4％) were polymorphic. The level of bandsharing(BS) ranged from 0.18 to 0.32 for the 9 primer combinations tested, with a mean of 0.24. Consequently, AFLP markers of these rainbow trout could be used as genetic information such as species identification, genetic relationship or analysis of genome structure, and selection aids for genetic improvement of economically importment traits in fish species.

Chitosans were obtained with varying deacetylation times using the ${\beta}$-chitin isolated from Todarodes pacificus, and their deacetylation degrees and average molecular weights were determined. Films prepared with the squid chitosans were characterized by estimating their tensile strengths, percent elongations, water vapor permeabilities, degree of swelling, and temperatures of glass transition and thermal decomposition. The results suggest that the squid chitosan films were comparable to common crustacean chitosan films in regard of mechanical, moisture barrier, and thermal properties, although further, multilateral investigations are necessary to make a more definitive conclusion.

The improvement in OLEDS performance is correlated with the surface chemical composition, hole injection and electron injection. In this study, a new hole injection material, HIL202(NPB derivatives), was synthesized and the devices with the structure of ITO/HIL202/NPB/$Alq_3$/Liq/Al were fabricated. The devices with a new hole injection material showed the improved current density, luminance and life time then the NPB or conventional hole injection material based OLEDs, due to the improved adhesion morphology between ITO surface and hole injection material.

Fluorescence enhancements of ethidium bromide (EB) by solution species of low molecular weights such as DNA base molecules and nucleosides in water are reported. The degree of enhancements was determined by intensity as well as lifetime measurements for EB fluorescence. Experiments including solvent effects on absorbance and fluorescence spectra of EB, effects of protonation on the EB absorbance spectrum, and determination of equilibrium constants for EB-DNA bases have been performed to help explain the fluorescence enhancement. The results suggest that the excited state stabilization in the hydrophobic environment, the loss of torsional/vibrational energy of amino groups, and the change in the electronic transition characteristics are all responsible for the fluorescence enhancement.
