The increasing importance of biomedical imaging technology has led to the development of a variety of luminescent materials, including molecular fluorophores, fluorescent proteins, and quantum dots. Owing to their inherent disadvantages, such as insufficient chemical stability and limited biocompatability, their utilization has been limited with imaging only under highly optimized and controlled conditions. Recently, a new class of luminescent nanoparticles, upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs), have been emerging as a practically useful nanoprobe for various bioimaging applications. The detailed synthesis, functionalization, properties and in-vitro / in-vivo applications of the UCNPs are introduced and discussed in this Review.

A method to estimate the torsional critical speed for practical rotors has been developed in this study. First, the rotor with a uniform shaft segment is modeled for undamped torsional motion analysis, while satisfying all the boundary conditions. This eventually generates governing equations for the torsional critical speeds of the system. The set of governing equations has the form of a sparse and banded matrix. The elements of banded matrix can be arranged in partitions, which correspond to the specific boundary of the rotor. This permits an automatic generation of the system matrix using a computer. In order to calculate the determinant generated by the simultaneous equations, which leads to the torsional critical speed, a recurring numerical algorithm for a (3*4) sub-matrix has been used. This numerical algorithm practically examines successive (3*4) sub-matrix, one at a time, instead of treating a huge matrix. The output of the program provides the mode shapes with continuous curves. The method has been implemented to three rotors given as examples : a simple rotor, Prohl's rotor, and Macmillan rotor.

In this study, thermal analysis of a thermal capacitor, which is used to cool the current lead in conduction-cooled superconducting systems, was done. The temperature difference across a thermal capacitor was calculated by using heat conduction equation. Effect of heat load, total thickness, height and length of a thermal capacitor on the temperature difference were show. Using the results in this work, total thickness and heat height of a thermal capacitor can be determined for given heat load and given temperature difference. This work can be used practically in design for every superconduction system using a current lead.

The Al etching was studied employing negative ions generated in the downstream $Cl_2$ plasma. In order to etch the Al film practically on an insulator covered electrode coupled with RF power, reduction of the negative self bias voltage (Vdc) was examined using a magnetic filter which trapped electrons. Addition of $SF_6$ and $H_2$ to a $Cl_2/BCl_3$ mixture reduced significantly Vdc.

A duplexer filter operating at 1.9 GHz band for personal communication system is designed and fabricated using $lambada$/4 TEM mode dielectric resonator. The transmitting band pass filter is designed in the type of the elliptic function band rejection filter by 3 dielectric resonators with 5 additional capacitors and 3 inductors. The receiving band pass filter is designed by 3 dielectric resonators with 5 additional capacitors which give additional series resonance. The parameters which are evaluated by design theory are practically applied to the duplexer filter construction and the simulation.

For the increasing demand for the validation of analytical results, one of the important concerns of the analyst is to be assured that the instrumentation is working to qualified conditions. In this study, we have investigated and compared several validation guidelines of the performance verification of UV-VIS spectrophotometer used in pharmacopoeias of major countries and UV-VIS instrument analytical companies, and we proposed the practically useful validation guidelines of UV-VIS spectrophotometer. Based on our proposed validation guidelines of UV-VIS spectrophotometer, several UV-VIS spectrophotometers used in drug manufacturing laboratories were validated for their performances.

The acute toxicity of fthalide in rat was studied in vivo by the observations of the changes in hematogram, serological parameters, content of cytochrome p-450, activities of NADPH-cytochrom c reductase, glucose-6-phosphatase, and the contents of cholinesterase and carboxylesterase in liver. Fthabde is a practically non-toxic substance(LD50 is 3.86g/kg), but rats were intoxicated with fthabde at a oral dose of 100 mg/kg for 12 days. WBC were significantly decreased and activities of ALT and LDH, on the cotrary, the content of glucose in serum were slightly increased. Cytochrome p-450 and lipid peroxide in liver were significantly increased in the fthalide-intoxicated rats. The longer administration of fthalide showed further increase of carboxylesterase activity in liver and serum, but decrease of activities of glucose-6-phosphatase and cholinesterase in liver and serum. These results show that fthatide can induce the hepatocellular injury and neurotoxicity.

This paper is about vision system that exhibits automatic examination of the conditions of shaft's worm. The system is composed of three part : image acquisition, vision algorithm, and user interface. The image acquisition part is composed of motor control, illumination and optics. The vision algorithm examines the parts by labeling algorithm using shaft image. User interface is divided into two parts, user interface for feature registering with control value settings and user interface for examination operation. The automatic inspection system of this research is a tool for final examination of shaft worm. This tool can be practically used in production lines with simple adjustments.

Track circuit decides whether the section is occupied by train or free using the electrical characteristics of the rail, and sends information to the train using the rail as the medium of communication. So the electrical parameters of the rail are important to the track circuits. But they are influenced by the frequency of the transmitted signal and the environments like rain, snow and location of the rail. In this paper, the parameters of the rail is practically measured using the measurement method based on the 2-port network. The measurement demonstrates that the parameters of the rail is dependent on the frequency of the signal flowing on the rail and the environments like wheather. So this analysis of the parameters helps the design of track circuits.

This paper is on speed control of induction motor using space vector PWM. Indirect vector control which controls independantly flux and torque current component in order to drive induction motor, is applied for driving motor. Voltage sourced inverter with space vector PWM is used to generate the practically perfect sinusoidal flux density in induction motor. The appropriateness of speed control is proven by appling IP(Integral-proportional) controller which is known to have a good speed response and still to have less overshoot than the now used PI(Proportional-Integral) controller.
