Dielectric property of Ba-modified 0.65Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.35PbTiO3 ceramics having compositions near the morphotropic phase boundary was investigated. For the specimens having Ba contents between 0 and 20 at%, the average transition temperature was decreased linearly with increasing Ba contents and the degree of hysteresis was also decreased with increasing Ba contents. The maximum dielectric constants (K), electric field induced polarization(P) and electrically-induced strain(S) were found to exihibit a maximum value at∼3 at% of Ba. The increase of S and the decrease of hysteresis by minor additions of Ba impurities indicated the development of new higher perfomance actuator materials. The composition of Ba-PMN-PT (10/65/35) may be appropriate for capacitor materials because of low hysteresis and high polarization.

Lipases are industrial enzymes that catalyze both triglyceride hydrolysis and ester synthesis. The overexpression of lipase genes is considered one of the best approaches to increase the enzymatic production for industrial applications. Subfamily I.2. lipases require a chaperone or foldase in order to become a fully-activated enzyme. The goal of this research was to isolate, clone, and co-express genes that encode lipase and foldase from Burkholderia territorii GP3, a lipolytic bacterial isolate obtained from Mount Papandayan soil via growth on Soil Extract Rhodamine Agar. Genes that encode for lipase (lipBT) and foldase (lifBT) were successfully cloned from this isolate and co-expressed in the E. coli BL21 background. The highest expression was shown in E. coli BL21 (DE3) pLysS, using pET15b expression vector. LipBT was particulary unique as it showed highest activity with optimum temperature of $80^{\circ}C$ at pH 11.0. The optimum substrate for enzyme activity was $C_{10}$, which is highly stable in methanol solvent. The enzyme was strongly activated by $Ca^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, and strongly inhibited by $Fe^{2+}$ and $Zn^{2+}$. In addition, the enzyme was stable and compatible in non-ionic surfactant, and was strongly incompatible in ionic surfactant.

A ISFET-based glucose sensor has inherent problems such as low sensitivity, drift effect and long response time. For that reason, a amperometric actuation technique was introduce to make a highly sensitivity of the ISFET glucose sensor with a Pt actuator, which electrolyzes $H_2O_2$, one of the by a by-products of the oxidation reaction of glucose. Moreover, a potential-step measurement method detecting response by only the electrolysis of $H_2O_2$ was developed for eliminating a drift problem. The operation characteristics of ISFET-based glucose sensor was improved by using the amperometric actuation and a measurement techniques. The fabricated ISFET glucose sensor is shown good operation such as characteristics(30mM PBS, about 26mV/decade) and linearity. A portable glucose meter with a highly resolution by using the fabricated ISFET-based glucose sensor with Pt actuation was developed and its characteristics investigated.

Cross linked chitosan beads showed high selective adsorption abilities in order of $Au^{3+}$ > $Hg^{2+}$ > $Cu^{2+}$ > $Cd^{2+}$ > $Pt^{4+}$ > ${UO_2}^{2+}$ ions in mixed solution of various metal ions at pH 4.5. N-methyltyiobenzylated chitosan beads(MTB-chitosan beads) were prepared treating with p-(methylthio) benzaldehyde after cross linking of chitosan beads to give them a high selectivity in adsorption of metal ions. The MTB-chitosan beads demonstrated their selectivity on precious metals among various metal ions distinctively. Particularly, the MTB-chitosan had a peculiar selective adsorption on $Pd^{2+}$, $Au^{2+}$, and $Hg^{2+}$ions whilst the cross linked chitosan beads showed its high adsorption on $Pd^{2+}$ at pH 1.1. On the other hand, the cross linked chitosan beads showed its superiority in selective adsorption on $Au^{2+}$, $Cu^{2+}$, and $Hg^{2+}$ions to the MTB-chitosan at pH 4.5 of the test solution. Thus metal selectivities were given to chitosan beads through chemical modifications.

In order to elucidate the biological etiology and the effects of comorbidity on biological variables in tic disorders, plasma serotonin (5-hydroxlfryptamine, 5-HT) and 5-hydroxy- indoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) we.e measured in 87 tic disorders and 30 control subjects. The 87 tic disorder were composed of 45 Tourette's disorder(TS), 22 chronic motor tic disorders (CMT) and 20 transient tic disorders (TTD). Among these patients,43 patients were pure tic disorder (PT), 28 subject also had attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (T+ADHD) and 16 subjects had obsessive compulsive disorders (T+ OCD) as comorbid disorders. The results are summarized as follows : 1) Plasma 5-HT levels showed significant positive correlations with plasma 5-HIAA levels (Pennon r=0.77, p<0.05). 2) Plasma 5-HT and 5-HIAA levels showed no significant correlation with age in tic disorders. 3) Plasma 5-HIAA and 5-HT levels showed no significant correlations with age in control subjects. 4) There was significant difference in plasma 5-HT levels among TS, CMT, TTD and control groups (ANOVA F=34.48, df=3, 113, p<0.01), and post-hoc test using Scheffe method showed significant differences between control and TS, control and CMT, control and ITD groups. But, post-hoc test showed no significant differences between TS and CMT, TS and TTD, CMT and TTD groups. 5) There was significant difference in plasma 5-HIAA levels among TS, CMT, TTD and control groups (ANOVA F=26.48, df=3, 113, p<0.01), and post-hoc test using Scheffe method showed significant differences between control and TS, control and CMT, control and TTD groups. But, post-hoc test showed no significant differences between TS and CMT, TS and TTD, CMT and TID groups.f) There was significant difference in plasma 5-HT and 5-HIAA levels among PT, T+ADHD, T+OCD and contol groups (ANOVA 5-HT, F=37.59, df=3, 113, p<0.01, 5-HIAA, F=27.37, df=3, 113, p<0.01), and post-hoc test using Scheffe method showed signiscant differences between control and PT, control and T+ADHD and control and T+OCB. But, post-hoc test showed no significant differences between PT and T+ADHD, PT and T+ OCD and T+ADHD and T+ OCD. These results show that decreased 5-HT and 5-HIAA levels may play a role in the genesis of tic disorders, but these findings have no significant correlations with the severity of tic disorders. And the comorbid disorders of tics may have minimal effects on the biochemical abnormalities. Future studies must be focused on the effects of serotonin agonists and antagonists on tic disorders and molecular biological methodology may enhance to elucidate the mechanisms of these abnormal findings.

Ferroelectric S $r_{0.9}$/B $i_{2.1}$/T $a_{2}$/ $O_{9}$ solutions were synthesized using sol-gel process in which strontinum ethoxide bismuth ethoxide trantalum ethoxide were used a s startring materials. SBT thin films were coated on Pt/Ti/ $SiO_2$/Si substrates by spin-coating. rapid thermal annealing (RTA) was used to promote crystallization. Thin films were annealed at $700^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr in an oxygen atmosphere. This temperature is about 10$0^{\circ}C$ lower than the usual annealing temperature for SBT thin films. Pt top-electrode was deposited by sputtering and thin films were post-annealed at $700^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. to enhance electrical properties. As the RTA temperature increased the higher 2 $P_{r}$ values were obtained. At RTA temperature being 78$0^{\circ}C$ remanent polarization of S $r_{0.9}$/B $i_{2.1}$/T $a_{2}$/ $O_{9}$ thin film was 7.73 $\mu$C/cm $_2$ and the leakage current density was 1.14$\times$10$^{-7}$ A/c $m^2$ at 3 V. As RTA temperature increased the breakdown voltage was decreased. It is considered that the low-field breadown is caused by the rough surface of SBT films and forming bismuth metal in SBT thin films.films.lms.

A new nano-composite carbon ink for the development of disposable dopamine (DA) biosensors based on screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs) is introduced. The method developed uses SPCEs coupled with a tyrosinase modified nano-composite carbon ink. The ink was prepared by an “in-house” procedure with reduced graphene oxide (rGO), Pt nanoparticles (PtNP), and carbon materials such as carbon black and graphite. The rGO-PtNP carbon composite ink was used to print the working electrodes of the SPCEs and the reference counter electrodes were printed by using a commercial Ag/AgCl ink. After the construction of nano-composite SPCEs, tyrosinase was immobilized onto the working electrodes by using a biocompatible matrix, chitosan. The composite of nano-materials was characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and the performance characteristics of the sensors were evaluated by using voltammetric and amperometric techniques. The cyclic voltammetry results indicated that the sensors prepared with the rGO-PtNP-carbon composite ink revealed a significant improvement in electro-catalytic activity to DA compared with the results obtained from bare or only PtNP embedded carbon inks. Optimum experimental parameters such as pH and operating potential were evaluated and calibration curves for dopamine were constructed with the results obtained from a series of amperometric detections at −0.1 V vs. Ag/AgCl. The limit of detection was found to be 14 nM in a linear range of 10 nM to 100 µM of DA, and the sensor’s sensitivity was calculated to be 0.4 µAµM⁻¹cm⁻².
