A recessed $n^{+}$-p junction diode with the serf-aligned structure is proposed and fabricated by using the polysilicon as an $n^{+}$ diffusion source. The diode structure can be applicable to the emitter-base formation of high performance bipolar device and the $n^{+}$ polysilicon emitter has an important effect on the device characteristics. The considered parameters for the polysilicon formation are the deposition condition $As^{+}$ dose for the doping of the polysilicon, and the annealing using RTP system. The vertical depth profiles of the fabricated diode are obtained by SIMS. The eleotrical characteristics are analyzed in trims of the ideality factor of diode (n), contact resistance arid reverse leakage current. The $As_{+}$ dose for the formation of good junction is current. The $As^{+}$ dose for the formation of goodjunctions is about 1∼2${\times}$$10^{16}$$cm^{-2}$ at given RTA condition ($1100^{\circ}C$, 10 sec). The $n^{+}$-p structure is successfully applied to the self-aligned bipolar device adopting a single polysilicon technology.

Drought is one of the detrimental factors that impair plant growth and productivity. In this study, we applied annealing control primer (ACP)-based reverse transcriptase PCR (polymerase chain reaction) technique to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in maize leaves in response to drought stress. Two-week-old maize seedlings were exposed to drought (DT) by suspending water supply. DEGs were screened after 3 days of DT-treated samples using the ACP-based technique. Several DEGs encoding 16.9 protein, antimicrobial protein, hypothetical protein NCLIV_068840, thioredoxin M-type were identified in maize leaves under drought stress. These genes have putative functions in plant defense response, growth and development. These identified genes would be useful for predictive markers of plant defense, and growth responses under drought stress in plants.

A wide range of grain size was achieved in a Fe-Cr-Mn austenitic stainless steel (STS) by cold rolling and reversion annealing. The tensile characteristics of the STS were analyzed in terms of the dependence of strain induced martensitic (SIM) transformation on the grain size. In the ultrafine grain regime, the steel showed a high yield strength over 1 GPa, a discontinuous yielding, and a prolonged yield point elongation followed by considerable strain hardening. By increasing the grain size, the discontinuous yielding diminished and the yield point elongation decreased. The microstructural examination revealed that these tensile characteristics are closely related to the suppression of SIM transformation with decreasing the grain size. Especially, the prolonged yield point elongation of the ultrafine grained STS was found to be associated with development of unidirectional ε martensite bands. Based on the microstructural examination of the deformed microstructures, the rationalization of the grain size dependence of SIM transformation was suggested.

Differentially Expressed Gene (DEG) was obtained from Differential Display Reverse Transcription (DDRT)-PCR using Annealing Control Primer (ACP) to search and clone genes related to developmental stages of Sebastes inermis. By using 120 ACPs, the nucleotide sequences obtained from 16 DEGs showing higher expression in 6-month-old skeletal muscle than 18-month-old ones and from 22 DEGs displaying stronger expression in 18-month-old than 6-month-old were analyzed and BLAST was conducted. The results identified that DEGs shared 69~95% homology with genes of parvalbumin (PVALB), nucleoside diphosphate kinase (NDK) B, tropomyosin (TPM), troponin I (TnI), glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), muscle-type creatine kinase (CKM2), small EDRK-rich factor 2 (SERF2), adenosine monophosphate deaminase (AMPD), Trimeric intracellular cation channel type A (TRICA), Rho GTPase-activating protein 15 (ARHGAP15), S-formylglutathione hydrolase (Esterase D; ESD), heat shock protein 70 (hsp70), type 1 collagen alpha 2 (COL1A2), glutathione S-transferase, Mid1-interacting protein 1 (Mid1lip1), myosin light chain 1 (MYL1), sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase 1B (SERCA1B), and ferritin heavy subunit (FTH1). Expression pattern by developmental stage of DEG14 and PVALB exhibiting strong expression in 6-month-old skeletal muscle was investigated using real time PCR. Expression was reduced as Sebastes inermis grew. Expression of PVALB gene was extremely low after 6 months of age. Expression of CKM2 showed higher expression in 18-month-old skeletal muscle than in 6-month-old muscles, and increased continuously until 4 years old, after which CKM2 expression became gradually reduced. By analysis of tissue-specific expression patterns of DEG, DEG14 was expressed mainly in skeletal muscle, liver, kidney and spleen tissues, whereas PVALB expression was expressed in skeletal muscle and kidney, but not in liver and spleen tissues. CKM2 was expressed in skeletal muscle, kidney, and spleen tissues, but not in liver tissues. PVALB gene was composed of 110 amino acids, which constituted 659 bp nucleotides. The results reported here demonstrate that the expression patterns of parvalbumin and CKM2 could be used as molecular markers for selecting fishes exhibiting fast growth.

Cyanobacteria have been identified as one of the most promising group producing novel biochemically active natural products. Cyanobacteria are a very old group of prokaryotic organisms that produce very diverse secondary metabolites, especially non-ribosomal peptide and polyketide structures. Large multienzyme complexes which are responsible for the non-ribosomal biosynthesis of peptides are modular for the addition of a single amino acid. An activation of amino acid substrates results in an amino adenylate occuring via an adenylation domain (A-domain). A-domains are responsible for the recognition of amino acids as substrates within NP synthesis. The A-domain contains ten conserved motifs, A1 to A10. In this study, ten conserved motifs from A1 to A10 were checked regarding their amino acid sequence of the NRPS-module of Microcystis aeruginosa PCC 7806. The part of the amino acid sequence chosen was that which contained as many conserved motives as possible, and then these amino sequence were compared between other cyanobacteria to design a new degenerate primer. A new degenerate primer (A3/A7 primer) was designed to detect any putative NP synthetase region in unkwon cyanobacteria by a reverse translation of the conserved amino acid sequence and a search for cyanobacterial DNA bank.

Salinity and drought stresses are probably the most significant abiotic factor limiting plant's growth, also negatively affect seed germination and early seedling development. To study on effect of NaCl and PEG stress on seed germination and gene expression pattern of tall fescue, the levels of NaCl and PEG-induced water stresses were determined in first experiment. Different concentration of NaCl (0 to 350 mM) and PEG (0 to 30%) were used for seed treatment. Seed Germination percentage reduced with increasing osmotic potential of growth medium either due to NaCl or PEG. Seeds were not germinate at 350 mM NaCl or 30% PEG treatment. On the basis of the results, Kentucky31(E-) had more resistant than Fawn in both stress conditions. Furthermore, we have used an annealing control primer-based differential display reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction method to identify salt- and drought stress-induced differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in tall fescue leaves. Using 120 annealing control primers, a total of 4 genes were identified and sequenced. The possible roles of the identified DEGs are discussed in the context of their putative role during salinity and drought stresses.

This experiment was carried out to detect the cymbidium mosaic virus (CymMV) and the odontoglossum ringspot virus (ORSV) in the seed-derived plantlets of Phalaenopsis imported from Taiwan by one-step reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Simple and rapid crude plant extracts for RT-PCR were prepared. The reverse transcription step was performed at $42^{\circ}C$ for 45 min and the following thermal cycling scheme was used for 36 reaction cycles: template predenaturation at $96^{\circ}C$ for 2 min, template denaturation at $96^{\circ}C$ for 30 s, primer annealing at $60^{\circ}C$ for 30 s, and DNA synthesis at $72^{\circ}C$ for 1 min. Of the 40 seed-derived plantlets of Phalaenopsis imported from Taiwan, all of them were infected with CymMV, but ORSV was not detected.

The composites were fabricated, respectively, using 61vol.% SiC - 39vol.% $TiB_2$ and using 61vol.% SiC 39vol.% WC powders with the liquid forming additives of 12wt% $Al_2O_3+Y_2O_3$ by pressureless annealing at 1800$^{\circ}C$ for 4 hours. Reactions between SiC and transition metal $TiB_2$, WC were not observed in this microstructure. The result of phase analysis of composites by XRD revealed SiC(6H), $TiB_2$ and YAG($Al_5Y_3O_{12}$) crystal phase on the SiC-$TiB_2$, and SiC(2H), WC and YAG($Al_5Y_3O_{12}$) crystal phase on the SiC-WC composites. ${\beta}{\rightarrow}{\alpha}$-SiC phase transformation was ocurred on the SiC-$TiB_2$, but ${\alpha}{\rightarrow}{\beta}$-SiC reverse transformation was not occurred on the SiC-WC composites. The relative density, the flexural strength showed respectively value of 96.2%, 310.19Mpa in SiC-WC composites. The electrical resistivity of the SiC-$TiB_2$ and the SiC-WC composites is all positive temperature cofficient resistance(PTCR) in the temperature ranges from 25$^{\circ}C$ to 500$^{\circ}C$.

Identification of differentially expressed genes at blastocyst stage embryos would provide insights into early development and differentiation. Here, we applied a new differential display reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(DD RT-PCR) technology, called annealing control primers(ACP) system to identify the genes that are specifically or prominently expressed in mouse blastocysts compared to embryonic stem(ES) cells. Using 100 ACPs, 26 clones were perceived as differentially expressed genes in mouse blastocysts. A BLAST search revealed that cloned genes had significant sequence similarities with known genes in the GenBank/EMBL data base. Among them, 15 genes were selected and conformed by RT-PCR. This analysis suggests that the ACP system is a practical method for the identification of stage-specific genes using small numbers of mouse embryos.

The conventional floating zone(FZ) crystal and Czochralski(CZ) silicon crystal have resistivity variations longitudinally as well as radially The resistivity variations of the conventional FZ and CZ crystal are not conformed to requirement of dopant distribution for power devices and thyristors. These resistivity variations in conventional cystals limits the reverse breakdown voltage that could be achieved and forced designers of high power diodes and thyristors to compromise the desired current-voltage characteristics. So to produce high Power diodes and thyristors, Neutron Transmutation Doping(NTD) technique is the one method just because NTD silicon provides very homogeneous distribution of doping concentration. This procedure involves the nuclear transmutation of silicon to phosphorus by bombardment of neutron to the crystal according to the reaction $^{30}$ Si(n,${\gamma}$)longrightarrow$^{31}$ Silongrightarrow(2.6 hr)$^{31}$ P+$\beta$$^{[-10]}$ . The radioactive isotope $^{31}$ Si is formed by $^{31}$ Si capturing a neutron, which then decays into the stable $^{31}$ P isotope (i.e., the donor atom), whose distribution is not dependent on the crystal growth parameters. In this research, neutron was irradiated on FZ silicon wafers which had high resistivity(1000~2000 Ω cm), for 26 and 8.3hours for samples of HTS-1 and HTS-2, and 13, 3.2, 2.0 hours for samples of IP-1, IP-2 and IP-3, respectively, to compare resistivity changes due to time differences. The designed resistivities were approached, which were 2.l Ωcm for HTS-1, 7.21 Ω cm for HTS-2, 1.792cm for IP-1, 6.83 Ωcm for IP-2, 9.23 Ωcm for IP-3, respectively. Point defects were investigated with Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy(DLTS). Four different defects were observed at 80K, 125K, 230K, and above 300K.
