70 ${\AA}$-thick oxides nitridied at various conditions were reoxidized at pemperatures of 900$^{\circ}C$ in dry-O$_2$ ambients for 5～40 mininutes. The gate oxide interface porperties as well as the oxide substrate interface properties of MOS(Metal Oxide Semiconductor) capacitors with various nitridation conditions, reoxidation conditions and pure oxidation condition were investigated. We stuided I$\sub$g/-V$\sub$g/ characteristics, $\Delta$V$\sub$g/ shift under constant current stress from electrical characteristics point of view and breakdown voltage from leakage current point of view of MOS capacitors with SiO$_2$, NO, RNO dielectrics. Overall, our experimental results show that reoxidized nitrided oxides show inproved charge trapping porperites, I$\sub$g/-V$\sub$g/ characteristics and gate $\Delta$V$\sub$g/ shift. It has also been shown that reoxidized nitridied oxide's leakage currented voltage is better than pure oxide's or nitrided oxide's from leakage current(1${\mu}$A) point of view.

In this study, we have investigated photo-induced changes of optical energy gap( $E_{OP)}$ and photoluminescence (PL) in amorphous ($\alpha$-) S $e_{100-x}$G $e_{x}$ (x=5, 25 and 33) thin films prepared by conventional thermal evaporation method. In the $\alpha$-S $e_{100-x}$G $e_{x}$ thin film, the $E_{OP}$ is obtained by a linear extrapolation of the ($\alpha$hν)$^{\frac{1}{2}}$ versus hν plot to the energy axis using the optical absorption coefficient ($\alpha$) calculated from the extinction coefficient k measured in the wavelength range of 290~900nm. Although the values of $\Delta$ $E_{OP}$ are very different, all films exhibit photo-induced photo-darkening (PD) effect that is a red shift of $E_{OP}$ . In particular, $\Delta$ $E_{OP}$ in $\alpha$-S $e_{75}$ G $e_{25}$ thin film exhibits the largest value (i, e., $\Delta$ $E^{OP}$ ~40meV for $\alpha$-S $e_{95}$ G $e_{5}$ , $\Delta$ $E_{OP}$ ~200meV for $\alpha$-S $e_{75}$ G $e_{25}$ , $\Delta$ $E_{OP}$ ~130meV for $\alpha$-S $e_{67}$ G $e_{33}$ ). PL spectra in $\alpha$-SeGe by hν$_{HeCd}$ have no-Stokes shift (SS) and show a tendency dependent on both composition and illumination time. We explain the energy-induced phenomena such as the PD and thermal bleaching, the native charged-defect generation and the no-SS PL, etc..the PD and thermal bleaching, the native charged-defect generation and the no-SS PL, etc..tc..

This paper proposes a linear-time algorithm that has been designed to obtain an accurate solution for Dominating Set (DS) problem, which is known to be NP-complete due to the deficiency of polynomial-time algorithms that successfully derive an accurate solution to it. The proposed algorithm does so by repeatedly assigning vertex v with maximum degree ${\Delta}(G)$among vertices adjacent to the vertex v with minimum degree ${\delta}(G)$ to Minimum Independent DS (MIDS) as its element and removing all the incident edges until no edges remain in the graph. This algorithm finally transforms MIDS into Minimum DS (MDS) and again into Minimum Connected DS (MCDS) so as to obtain the accurate solution to all DS-related problems. When applied to ten different graphs, it has successfully obtained accurate solutions with linear time complexity O(n). It has therefore proven that Dominating Set problem is rather a P-problem.

This study was performed to investigate the preventive effect of KDD against lead toxicity. KDD of 133, 266, 532 and 1,064 mg/kg were administered twice to the rats of Sprague-Dawley strain and then 300 mg/kg lead acetate was given to times, respectively. 1. The $\delta$-ALAD concentration in the urine showed 10.6 ~16.4 mg/kg in the control group indicated statistical significance for the experimental group II, III, IV, V (p<0.05). Also, the Coproporphyrin concentration had 0.119 ~ 0.226 $\mu$g/ml in the control group indicated statiscial significance for the experimental group V of 10 weeks (p<0.05). 2. The $\delta$-ALAD concentration in the blood showed 13.28 ~ 16.08 ALAD unit in the control group indicated statistical significance for the experimental group I (Pb 300 mg/kg) of 6 and 8 weeks, for the experimental group III, IV of 8 and 10 weeks, and for the experimental group V of 4 weeks (p<0.05). The $\delta$-ALAD concentration of experimental group I (Pb 300 mg/kg) group was inclined to decrease during the experiment period. The $\delta$-ALAD concentration of experimental group I (Pb 300 mg/kg) showed statistical significance for the experimental group II, III, IV, V of 6, 8 and 10 weeks. But, there was no statistical significance in the concentration change of hemoglobin, RBC, WBC, hematocrit, Ca, protein among the experimental groups. In conclusion, this study revealed the preventive effect of KDD against lead toxicity and its mechnism inferred to facilitate lead excretion in urinary following hinderance of lead absorption in the gastric-intestine and organs.

In the present study, we investigated the effect of intracellular glutathione (GSH) depletion in heart-derived H9c2 cells and its mechanism. L-buthionine-S,R-sulfoximine (BSO) induced the depletion of cellular GSH, and BSO-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production was inhibited by glutathione monoethyl ester (GME). Additionally, GME inhibited BSO-induced caspase-3 activation, annexin V-positive cells, and annexin V-negative/propidium iodide (PI)-positive cells. Treatment with rottlerin completely blocked BSO-induced cell death and ROS generation. BSO-induced GSH depletion caused a translocation of PKC-${\delta}$ from the cytosol to the membrane fraction, which was inhibited by treatment with GME. From these results, it is suggested that BSO-induced depletion of cellular GSH causes an activation of PKC-${\delta}$ and, subsequently, generation of ROS, thereby inducing H9c2 cell death.

The energetics at the succinate:quinone oxidoreductase segment of V. alginolyticus was studied using a fluorescence quenching technique with inside-out membrane vesicles. A transient generation of the membrane potential (inside-positive) and ${\Delta}pH$ (inside-acidic) occurred in the presence of KCN and succinate when ubiquinone-1 (Q1) was added. The membrane potential (\Delta\psi$) generated by the succinate; quinone oxidoreductase segment was completely collapsed by the protonophore carbonylcyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP) and the membrane permeable anion $SCN^{-}$, whereas the ${\Delta}pH$ was completely collapsed by CCCP and $(NH_4)_2SO_4$. From these results, it was concluded that the succinate: quinone oxidoreductase segment as well as quinol oxidase [1] in the respiratory chain of V. alginolyticus generated $H^{+}$ electrochemical potential.

Through time-series CCD photometry using a 155mm refractor, we found a new $\delta$ Scuti type variable star, HD 235428, near a known bright $\delta$ Scuti type star, DQ Cep. We performed follow-up observations using a 61cm telescope at Sobaeksan Optical Astronomy Observatory. Four frequencies have been derived by multiple-frequency analysis, which are 15.804, 5.498, 15.351 and 24.516cycle $day^{-1}$, respectively. V-amplitude of HD 235428 is ${\Delta} V$ = 0.026.

This paper is concerned with the following fourth-order elliptic equations $${\Delta}^2u-{\Delta}u+V(x)u-{\frac{k}{2}}{\Delta}(u^2)u=f(x,u),\text{ in }{\mathbb{R}}^N$$, where $N{\leq}6$, ${\kappa}{\geq}0$. Under some appropriate assumptions on V(x) and f(x, u), we prove the existence of infinitely many negative-energy solutions for the above system via the genus properties in critical point theory. Some recent results from the literature are extended.

In the region of the intermediate open cluster M35 (NGC 2168), the time-series of V CCD images was taken for 12 nights from December 18, 2007 to September 25, 2010. From this observation, we detected 22 variable stars including 15 new ones. They are 6 $\delta$ Scuti, a Cepheid, an RR Lyrae, 9 eclipsing binaries and 5 semi-long periodic and/or slow irregular type variable stars. For the V photometry of the $\delta$2 Scuti stars, the multi-frequency analysis was performed using the Discrete Fourier Transform and the linear least-square fitting.
