  • Dielectrophoresis has received considerable attention for separating nanotubes according to electronic types. Here we examine the effects of surface conductivity of semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT), induced by ionic surfactants, on the sign of dielectrophoretic force. The crossover frequency of semiconducting SWNT increases rapidly as the conductivity ratio between the particle and medium increases, leading to an incomplete separation of ionic surfactant suspended SWNT at an electric field frequency of 10 MHz. The surface charge of SWNT is neutralized by an equimolar mixture of anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and cationic surfactant cetyltrimenthylammonium bromide (CTAB), resulting in negative dielectrophoresis of semiconducting species at 10 MHz. A comparative Raman spectroscopy study shows a nearly complete separation of metallic SWNT.

  • The photosynthetic parameters of dark- adapted minimum fluorescence (Fo) and maximum quantum yield of charge separation in PSII (Fv/Fm) were measured in transverse sections of eight species of marine Phaeophyceae (species of Laminariales, Fucales, Desmarestiales, Chordariales) using pulse amplified modulation (PAM) fluorometry. Within each transverse section fluorescence was measured in three regions corresponding to outer cortical and meristoderm cells, inner cortical cells and innermost medullary cells. Minimum fluorescence declined from 19-74% (mean of 39%) from outermost to innermost cells. Maximum quantum yield varied from 0.51-0.59 in outermost cell layers and this was reduced to 0.23-0.40 in innermost cell layers, with an average reduction of 50%. Despite the reduction Fo in medullary cells (inner), medullas of all species showed maximum quantum yields consistent with a photosynthetic role in carbon fixation. These results show that medullary cells of complex brown algae have more than a role in structure, storage or transport, and may also provide an important role in carbon fixation.

  • The conventional modeling equations for planar MOSFET can not be directly used for zero or minus junction depth concave MOSFET. In this paper, we suggest a new model which can simulate the electrical characteristics of concave MOSFET. The threshold voltage modeling was achieved using the charge sharing method considering the relative difference of source and drain depletion widths. To analyze the ID-VDS characteristics, the conventional expressions for planar MOSFET were employed with the electrical channel length as an effective channel length and the channel length modulation factor as ${\alpha}$ΔL. By comparing the proposed model with experimental results, we could get reasonably similar curves and we proposed a concave MOSFET conditiion which shows no short channel effect of threshold voltage(V${\gamma}$).

  • This paper discusses the control of generator field using dual IGBT PWM regeneration method to target brushless synchronous generator. If one of PWM bridges happens to fault, it transfers automatically and can be in charge of full load. Also it has an advantage of the operation which UPS connected in parallel with PWM bridge can supply power to excitation system in condition of main power loss. This PWM system supplies field current to generator in one quadrature operation, regenerates field coil energy to main power supplier in four quadrature operation. We designed, manufactured and applied the first trial product at J-power plant.

  • The effect of the heat treatment on electrochromic properties of $MoO_3$ thin films is investigated by studing optical modulation, optical density, response time, and cyclic voltammetry. From the results of XRD analysis, heat-treated at $450^{\circ}C$ in air for 1 hour $MoO_3$ thin films are found to be crystalline while as-deposited film and heat-treated at low temperature (${\leq}300^{\circ}C$) are amorphous. The electrochrornic devices using as-deposited $MoO_3$ films exhibits good electrochromic properties compare to those using the heat treated $MoO_3$ films. It has shown that the heat-treatment affected the stability and the electrochromic properties of $MoO_3$ films.

  • Based on the 2-dimensional charge-control simulation[4], a purely analytical model for MODFET's is proposed. In this model, proper treatment of the diffusion effect in the 2-DEG transport due to the gradual channel opening along the 2-DEG channel was made to explain the enhanced mobility and increased thershold voltage. The channel thickness and gate capacitance are experssed as functions of gate vlotage including subthreshold characteristics of the MODFET's analytically. By introducing the finite channel opening and an effective channel-length modulation, the slope of the saturation region of the I-V curves was modeled. The smooth transition of the I-V curves from linear-to-saturation region of the I-V curves was possible using the continuous Troffimenkoff-type of field-dependent mobility. Furthermore, a correction factor f was introduced to account for the finite transtition section forming between the GCA and the saturated section. This factor removes the large discrepanicies in the saturation region fo the I-V curves presicted by existing 1-dimensional models. The fitting parameters chosen in our model were found to be predictable and vary over relatively small range of values.

  • Association of cytochrome c with anionic membranes involved both electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions and their relative contributions depended on the physical state of the membrane and the redox state of cyto-chromec.Hydrophobic interaction was favored by the membranes in gel phase, by the membranes with a large curvature, and by the membranes with a high surface charge density. Ferrocytochrome c was less dissociable by NaCl than ferricytochrome c suggesting that a lower protein stability is beneficial for hydrophobic interac-tion.Hydrophobic interaction induced larger structural perturbations on cytochrome c as monitored by the loss of the Fe-Met bond and by the increase in the distance between heme and Trp-59. When bound to anionic mem-branes,spin-labeled cytochrome c showed an electron paramagnetic resonance spectrum with two or more components, providing a direct evidence for multiple conformations of bound cytochrome c.

  • Electroosmotic flux during iontophoresis originates due to the net negative charge of the current passing channels (pores) in skin at physiological pH (pH 7.4). Thus, the channels are permselective to cations, and this causes the convective solvent flow from anode to cathodal direction. This solvent flow facilitates the flux of cations (from anode), inhibits that of anions (from cathode), and enables theenhanced transport of neutral, polar solutes. (omitted)
