To obtain cytochrome $c_3$ labeled with a stable isotope, the conditions of cultivation and the composition of medium for DvMF were examined. The growth of DvMF was steady and reproducible under purging with $N_2$ and under pH control. DvMF was able to go on a defined medium without natural products. The composition of medium containing a small amount of $NH_4C$l as sole nitrogen source was established. Then, uniformly $^{15}N$labeled cytochrome $c_3$ was obtained during the culture of DvMF in a defined medium with $^{15}NH_4$Cl; it was confirmed by $^1H-^{15}N$ HMQC.

The effects of substrate temperature, RF power, and $NH_{3}/SiH_{4}$ gas flow ratio on the dielectric constant and optical bandgap of amorphous silicon nitride (a-SiNx:H) thin films prepared by PECVD method using RF glow discharge decomposition of $SiH_{4}$ and $NH_{3}$ gas mixtures have been studied. The dielectric constant and optical bandgap of a-SiNx:H thin films were greatly exchanged as by increasing substrate temperature, RF power, and $NH_{3}/SiH_{4}$ gas flow ratio. The dielectric constant of a-SiNx:H films was increased and optical bandgap of a-SiNx:H films was decreased as the substrate temperature was increased. When the substrate temperature, RF power, gas pressure, $NH_{3}/SiH_{4}$ gas flow ratio, and thickness were $250^{\circ}C$, 20 W, 500 mTorr, 10 and $1500\;{\AA}$, respectively, the dielectric constant, breakdown field and optical bandgap of a-SiNx:H film were 4.3, 1 MV/cm, and 2.9 eV, respectively.

The electrical property of polyvinylalcohol (PVA) films (several hundreds ∼ several $\mu\textrm{m}$ in thickness) formed by sphere bulb blowing technique, has been studied. The electrical conductivity of relatively thick films (>several thousands ) has been very high and enhanced by the exposure either to high humidity fo air or NH$_3$. which can be explained in terms of the role of ionic transport. The use of PVA film as NH$_3$ sensor is also proposed. In PVA films less than 1500 , two conducting states: high conducting and low conducting states, are observed.

In this study, a PbS quantum dots (QDs)-based H₂ gas sensor with a Pd electrode was proposed. QDs have a size of several nanometers, and they can exhibit a high surface area when forming a thin film. In particular, the NH₂ present in the ligand of PbS QDs and H₂ gas are combined to form NH₃⁺, subsequently the electrical characteristics of the QDs change. In addition to the resistance change owing to the reaction between Pd and H₂ gas, the resistance change owing to the reaction between the NH₂ of PbS QDs and H₂ gas increases the current signal at the sensor output, which can produce a high output signal for the same concentration of H₂ gas. Using the XRD and absorbance properties, the synthesis and particle size of the synthesized PbS QDs were analyzed. Using PbS QDs, the sensitivity was significantly improved by 44%. In addition, the proposed H₂ gas sensor has high selectivity because it has low reactivity with heterogeneous gases such as C₂H₂, CO₂, and CH₄.

In this paper, an wet diaper sensor system for u-healthcare is implemented and designed. The u-healthcare system of wet diaper sensor consists of sensor node, data-logger/gateway, and server or user terminals. The sensor node includes $NH_3$, humidity, and temperature sensors and TI CC2530 chip, and the data-logger/gateway can connect to a communication network and send the aggregated data from the sensor nodes to a server, and the server can manage the situation of the sensor node and make another analyzed information. Also user terminals can request and obtain the information necessary from the server. The algorithm for detecting wet diaper is proposed, and using the proposed algorithm, the sensitivity for detecting wet diaper is 100%.

The selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system is a highly-effective aftertreatment device for NOx reduction of diesel engines. Generally, the ammonia ($NH_3$) was generated from reaction mechanism of SCR in the SCR system using the liquid urea as the reluctant. Therefore, the precise urea dosing control is a very important key for NOx and $NH_3$ slip reduction in the SCR system. This paper investigated NOx and $NH_3$ emission characteristics of urea-SCR dosing system based on model-based control algorithm in order to reduce NOx. In the map-based control algorithm, target amount of urea solution was determined by mass flow rate of exhaust gas obtained from engine rpm, torque and $O_2$ for feed-back control NOx concentration should be measured by NOx sensor. Moreover, this algorithm can not estimate $NH_3$ absorbed on the catalyst. Hence, the urea injection can be too rich or too lean. In this study, the model-based control algorithm was developed and evaluated on the numerical model describing physical and chemical phenomena in SCR system. One channel thermo-fluid model coupled with finely tuned chemical reaction model was applied to this control algorithm. The vehicle test was carried out by using map-based and model-based control algorithms in the NEDC mode in order to evaluate the performance of the model based control algorithm.

$Co_3O_4$ thick film gas sensor using the powder prepared by hydrothermal reaction method(HRM) was fabricated. For comparison study, we also prepared the sensor using commercial $Co_3O_4$ powder under the same fabrication conditions. Sensitivity, time response, and selectivity of them to variable gases such as iso-$C_4H_{10}$, CO, $NH_3$, and $CH_4$ were investigated. The sensor from the powder prepared by HRM showed higher sensitivity to every gas than those from commercial powder. For iso-$C_4H_{10}$ gas, the sensitivities of both sensor to 100 ppm are 160 % and 40 %, respectively. Time response and selectivity of the sensor using the powder prepared by HRM were better than those of the sensor using commercial powder.

The optimum base material was selected by the thermal decomposition temperature of $CH_{3}CN$ on the surface of various metal oxides, and the FT-IR analyses of its products. On the surface of $SnO_{2}$, $CH_{3}CN$ was initiated to decompose at $130^{\circ}C$ and produced a lot of products at $200^{\circ}C$. The products from the reaction were found to be $H_{2}O$, $NH_{3}$ and CO, but $N_{2}O$ has started to produce at $320^{\circ}C$. The sensing characteristics of $SnO_{2}$ sensor to $CH_{3}CN$ are influenced by the absorbed species which are produced by the oxidation reaction of $CH_{3}CN$ on the surface of metal oxide. The gaseous species produced from the surface of sensing material in the oxidation reaction were found to be CO, $NH_{3}$, $H_{2}O$ and $NO_{x}$ etc.. It was assumed that the amount of $NO_{x}$ play a great role to the determining sensing properties. In the condition of 170 ppm $CH_{3}CN$, the sensitivity and optimum operating temperature of $SnO_{2}$ were 70% and $300^{\circ}C$, respectively. In this research, the response time of $CH_{3}CN$ to $SnO_{2}/Al_{2}O_{3}/Pd$ sensor added with 0.2 wt % Pd was found about 10 sec and sensitivity was also found relatively high.
