An accurate cross sections set are necessary for the quantitatively understanding and modeling of plasma phenomena. By using the electron swarm method, we determine an accurate electron cross sections set for objective atoms or molecule at low electron energy range. In previous paper, we calculated the electron transport coefficients in pure CF$_4$ molecular gas by using two-term approximation of the Boltzmann equation. And by using this simulation method, we confirmed erroneous calculated results of transport coefficients for CF$_4$ molecule treated in this paper having 'C2v symmetry'as C$_3$H$_{8}$ and C$_3$F$_{8}$ which have large vibrational excitation cross sections which may exceed elastic momentum transfer cross section. Therefore, in this paper, we calculated the electron transport coefficients(W and ND$_{L}$) in pure CF$_4$ gas by using multi-term approximation of the Boltzmann equation by Robson and Ness which was developed at James-Cook university, and discussed an application and/or validity of the calculation method by comparing the calculated results by two-term and multi-term approximation code.e.

A low-cost, large area, random, maskless texturing scheme independent of crystal orientation is expected to have significant impact on terrestrial photovoltaic technology. We investigated silicon surface microstructures formed by reactive ion etching (R IE) in Multi-Hollow cathode system. Desirable texturing effect has been achieved when radio-frequency (rf) power of about 20 Watt per one hollow cathode glow is applied for our RF Multi -Hollow cathode system. The black silicon etched surface shows almost zero reflectance in the visible region as well as in near IR region. The etched silicon surface is covered by columnar microstructures with diameters from 50 to 100 nm and depth of about 500 nm. We have successfully achieved 11.7 % efficiency of mono-crystalline silicon solar cell and 10.2 % for multi-crystalline silicon solar cell.

In this study, we synthesized CNTs(carbon nanotubes) on the glass substrate by microwave plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (MPECVD), Effect of bias voltage on the grown behavior and morphology of CNTs were investigated. Recently, it has been proposed that aligned CNTs can also be achieved by the application of electric bias to the substrate during growth, the first time reported the bias effect such that the nanotube alignment occurred only when a positive bias was applied to the substrate whereas no aligned growth occurred under a negative bias and no tube growth was observed without bias. On the country, several researchers reported some different observations that aligned nanotubes could also be grown under negative substrate biases. This discrepancy as for the effect of positive and negative bias may indicate that the bias effect is not fully understood yet. The glass and Si wafers were first deposited with TiN buffer layer by r.f sputtering method, and then Ni catalyst same method, The thickness of TiN and Ni layer were 200 nm and 60 nm, respectively. The main process parameters include the substrate bias (0 to - 300 V), and deposition pressure (8 to 20 torr).

Amorphous Si (a-Si) thin films of $p^+/p^-/n^+$ were deposited on $Si_3N_4$/glass substrate by using a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) method. These films were annealed at various temperatures and for various times by using a rapid thermal process (RTP) equipment. This step was added before the main thermal treatment to make the nuclei in the a-Si thin film for reducing the process time of the crystallization. The main heat treatment for the crystallization was performed at the same condition of $600^{\circ}C$/18 h in conventional furnace. The open-circuit voltages ($V_{oc}$) were remained about 450 mV up to the nucleation condition of 16min in the nucleation RTP temperature of $680^{\circ}C$. It meat that the process time for the crystallization step could be reduced by adding the nucleation step without decreasing the electrical property of the thin film Si for the solar cell application.

Alteration in ion channel or transporter expression levels affects cell volume which is produced by movement of water and ion across the plasma membrane. In particular, aquaporin (AQP) channels among ion channels play a crucial role in movement of water across the cell membrane. This study was performed to identify whether AQP expression is changed in bovine follicular cystic follicles using microarray, RT-PCR and Western blotting analyses. In microarray data, AQP4 expression was decreased, whereas AQP7 was increased in cystic follicles. Additional experiments were focused on the AQP7 expression increased in cystic follicles. The microarray data was confirmed by semi-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Western blot analysis. AQP7 mRNA and protein expressions were significantly increased in the cystic follicles (p<0.05). Application of estrogen ($10{\mu}g/ml$) to bovine ovarian cells showed a trend of increase in AQP7 expression. From these results, we suggest that the increase in AQP7 expression in cystic follicles may play an important role in movement of water in bovine ovary. In addition, AQP7, a aquaglyceroporin permeating water and glycerol, could be a good target in development of methods for the cryopreservation of bovine ovary.

Experimental results regarding to the structural properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and the field-emission characteristics of CNT-coated tungsten (W) tips are presented. CNTs are successfully grown on conical-type W-tips by inductively coupled plasma-chemical vapor deposition (ICP-CVD) with or without inserting a TiN-buffer layer prior to the formation of Ni catalysts. For all the CNTs grown, their nanostructures, morphologies, and crystalline structures are analyzed by FESEM, HRTEM, and Raman spectroscopy. Furthermore, the emission properties of CNT-based field-emitters are characterized to estimate the maximum current density and the threshold voltage. The results obtained in this study indicate that the emission current level of the CNT-emitter without using a TiN buffer is desirable for the application of micro-focused x-ray systems.

In this paper, we investigated the effect of the passivation stack with Al₂O₃, hydrogenated silicon nitride (SiN_x:H) stack and Al₂O₃, silicon oxynitride (SiON_x) stack in the n type bifacial solar cell on monocrystalline silicon. SiNx:H and SiON_x films were deposited by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition on the Al₂O₃ thin film deposited by thermal atomic layer deposition. We focus on passivation properties of the two stack structure after laser ablation process in order to improve bifaciality of the cell. Our results showed SiN_x:H with Al₂O₃ stack is 10 mV higher in implied open circuit voltage and 60 ㎲ higher in minority carrier lifetime than SiON_x with Al₂O₃ stack at Ni silicide formation temperature for 1.8% open area ratio. This can be explained by hydrogen passivation at the Al₂O₃/Si interface and Al₂O₃ layer of laser damaged area during annealing.

To obtain a basic information on the development of Genus Viola, ultrastructure and electrofusion process between the two protoplasts from wild Viola callus cells and pansy mesophyll cells were observed with a scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and transmission electron microscopy(TEM). In the ultrastructural observation of wild viola callus protoplasts and pansy mesophyll protoplasts using SEM, their cell walls were removed completely. A knob-like formation was observed on the enlarge surface of viola callus protoplasts. On the surface of pansy mesophyll protoplasts net-like chloroplasts were observed. In SEM observation of pansy mesophyll protoplasts, chloroplasts devoid of membrane were observed on the surface the protoplasts. Pearl chain was formed by applying AC field of 200 V/cm at 1.0 MHz for 43 sec. The lysis of plasma membranes and fusion process occurred by applying a 1,600 V/cm DC pulse twice for 1 sec. After 1-2 hours of a DC pulse application, it was observed that the two protoplasts were fused completely into one cell. In TEM observation of the fused cell, many small vacuoles were located in the fusion area of the two protoplasts. Indeed, two distinct regions were observed during fusing process; in one region, a nucleus was found, while in the other region, both nucleus and nucleous were found.

A Physiologically based pharmacokinetic model was used to describe the distribition and elimination of cefriazone in the rat. To validate the practical application of the model, the effect of cffeine on the model was also examined. The model consisted of eleven compartments representing the major sites for ceftriaxone distribution including carcass which served as a residual compartment. Elimination was represented by renal and hepatic (metabolic biliary )excretion with GI secretion and re-absorption. The drug concentrations in most of the tissues were simulated using flow limited equations while brain levels were simulated using membrane limited passive diffusion distribution. The experimental data were obtained by averaging the concentration of drug in the plasma and tissues of five rats after i. v. injection of cefriazone 100 mg/kg without and with caffeine 20 mg/kg. The data for the amount of ceftriazone excreted in urine and gut contents were used to apportion total body clearance. HPLC with UV detection was used for the assay with 0.1-0.2 $\mu$g/ml sensitivity. The great majority of drug concentrations with and without caffeine show reasonably good agreements to the simulation results within 20%. The effect of caffeine on renal and hepatic clearances was apparent with 18.8% and 18.6% increase in the model values, respectively.
