Au/oxide/n-InP Schottky diodes were fabricated from heteroepitaxial InP layers grown on GaAs substrates by the metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) method from a new combination of source materials: ethyldimethylindium (EDMIn) and tertiarybutylphosphine (TBP). Anodic oxidation technique by using a solution of 10 g of ammonium pentaborate in 100 cc of ethylene glycole as the electrolyte was used to deposit a thin oxide layer. The barrier heights determined from three different techniques, current-voltage (I-V) measurements at room temperature and in the temperature range of 273 K - 373 K, and room temperature capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurements are in good agreement, 0.7 - 0.9 eV which is considerably high as compared to the 0.45 - 0.55 eV in Au/n-InP Schottky diode without a Passivation layer. The ideality factors of 1.1 - 1.3 of the Schottky diodes were also determined from the I-Y characteristics. Deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) studies revealed only one shallow electron state at 92.6 meV below the bottom of the conduction band and no deep state in the heteroepitaxial InP layers grown from EDMIn and TBP.

The fermentative conversion of food wastes into probiotic feed was investigated by seeding of mixed inoculum of Lactobacillus acidophilus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. After grinding finely, optimal fermentation conditions for aeration was investigated at $30^{\circ}C$, The viable cell count of lactic acid bacteria and yeast during fermentation were monitored by controlling aeration rate at each different aeration degree of 0v.v.m 0rpm, 0.25v.v.m 100rpm, 0.5v.v.m 200rpm, and 1v.v.m 500rpm respectively. The most active growth of the yeast was shown at 0.5v.v.m 200rpm as $4.5{\times}10^9CFU/m{\ell}$. By controlling aeration rate, the pH of the probiotics feed could be controlled between 4-5 for the enhancement of preservation characteristics and acceptability for cattle feeding.

The LAPS device of fast response and high sensitivity, based on electrochemical potential difference, and its system were fabricated for the precise measurement of pH changes and its characteristic were investigated. The electrostatic variation characteristics of LAPS according to the pH changes and parameters in the device were verified through a simulation using LAPS equivalent circuit model. The LAPS device and its system were fabricated on the basis of the result of simulation. The fabricated LAPS system showed linear sensitivity (about 56 mV/pH within the range of pH 2 to pH 11. In order to overcome the defect of general urea sensor (especially slow response time), urease immobilized nitrocellulose membrane was attached on the LAPS and resulted in the very fast response time, 0.29 mV/sec, 0.86 mV/sec at urea concentration of $50{\mu}g/ml,\; 500{\mu}g/ml$, respectively. And also in order to measure the uranyl ion, the uranyl ion selective sensing membrane with calix[6]arene derivative was used and its sensitivity was 25mV/concentration decade in the wide uranyl ion concentration range of $10^{-11}M\;to\;10^{-4}M$.

In this work, we demonstrate 800V 4H-SiC power DMOSFETs with several structural alterations to observe static DC characteristics, such as a threshold voltage ($V_{TH}$) and a figure of merit ($V_B^2/R_{SP,ON}$). To optimize the static DC characteristics, we consider four design parameters; (a) the doping concentration ($N_{CSL}$) of current spreading layer (CSL) beneath the p-base region, (b) the thickness of p-base ($t_{BASE}$), (c) the doping concentration ($N_J$) and width ($W_J$) of a JFET region, (d) the doping concentration ($N_{EPI}$) and thickness ($t_{EPI}$) of epi-layer. Design parameters are optimized using 2D numerical simulations and the 4H-SiC DMOSFET structure results in high figure of merit ($V_B^2/R_{SP,ON}$>~$340MW/cm^2$) for a power MOSFET in $V_B{\sim}1200V$ range.

Preparative conditions and characteristics of six-vegetable and fruit juice were studied for the effects of mixing ratio, heat treatment and addition of sugar, salt and organic acid. The vegetables and fruit used were carrot(Ct), cabbage(Cg), pear(Pr), cucumber(Cr), celery(Cy) and dongchimi(Di). From the sensory results of mixing ratio of three of binary mixtures of Cg-Pr(1:3):Ct-Di(1:4):Cr-Cy(3:1), two ratios of 5.0:2.5:2.5(V-6A) and 6.0:2.0:2.0(V-6B) were suggested optimal for six-vegetable and fruit juice. Addition of 2% sucrose and 0.3% NaCl improved the preference significantly. The pH 4.0 for V-6A and pH 3.5 for V-6B were more prefered when pH was adjusted by citric acid. Heating the juice at $100^{\circ}C$ for 100 minutes slightly decreased pH and increased the acidity. Total solids and viscosity were also decreased by heating. All of those changes were more significant in V-6B than V-6A, probably due to lower pH. Heating the juice resulted in a slight decrease in L value and an increase in a and b values. Heating at $100^{\circ}C$ caused an increase in moldy flavor and a decrease in fresh vegetable flavor while heating at $80^{\circ}C$ for 20 minutes changed them little.

Recently, the detection of pH with real-time and in vivo has been focal pointed in the environmental or medical fields. In this work, we developed the pH sensor using graphene sheet. Graphene has high biocompatibility. We fabricated flexible solution-gated field-effect transistors (SGFETs) on graphene sheet transferred on the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate to detect pH in electrolyte solution. The gate length was $500{\mu}m$ and the gate width was 8 mm. We evaluated the current-voltage (I-V) transfer characteristics of graphene SGFETs in pH solution. The drain-source current ($I_{DS}$) and the gate-source voltage ($V_{GS}$) curves of graphene SGFETs were depended on pH value. The Dirac point of graphene SGFETs linearly shifted to the positive direction about 19.32 mV/pH depending on the pH value in electrolyte solution.

Photosensitivity of a ITO/a-Si : H/Al photodiode without blocking layer was 0.7 under the applied voltage of 5 V and peak spectral sensitivity in visible region was found at 620 nm. Dark current of ITO/a-SiN : H/a-Si : H/p-a-Si : H/Al photodiode was suppressed by hole blocking layer and electron blocking layer at the value of lower than 1.5 pA to the applied voltage of 10 V. Also maximum photosensitivity was about 1 under the applied voltage of 3 V and peak spectral sensitivity was found at 540 nm.

To determine the physiological, biochemical characteristics and toxicity of hemolysin produced by a novel sucrose positive Vibrio (Vibrio sp. D5) isolated from estuary of Kum river, it was compared with already known sucrose positive Vibrio. Salinity, pH, temperature and conductivity of place where Vibrio sp. D5 was isolated were $4.7\%_{\circ},\;7.6,\;24^{\circ}C$ and $7800{\mu}MHOS$, respectively. Physiological and biochemical characteristics distingiushed Vibrio sp. D5 from other sucrose positive Vibrio: V. alginoipicus, V. cholerae, V. cincinnatiensis, V. fluvialis, V. furnissii and V. metschnikovii. The range of salinity and pH for growth of Vibrio sp. D5 were $0.5\%\~7.5\%$ and $4.5\~9.5$, respectively. Vibrio sp. D5 exhibited typical yellow colony on TCBS agar plate and curved rod type upon transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Vibrio sp. D5 had lethal toxicity against mouse in case of intraperitoneal injection with its culture and showed hemolysin activity on human blood agar and sheep blood agar. Ubrio sp. D5 also demonstrated vascular permeability activity toward rat. From the above results, Vibrio sp. D5 was ascertained to be a novel pathogenic Vibrio.
