  • We investigated photo-induced electron transfer (PET) in a dye-labeled peptide, fluorophore-Ala-Gly-Gln-Tyr, employing time-resolved fluorescence. As an effort to develop new functional dyes, we studied an acriflavine derivative for the electron-acceptor in the excited state from tyrosine, an electrondonor in the ground-state. The pH dependence of the fluorescence lifetime of the model peptide indicates that electron transfer between the excited dye and tyrosine occurs when the tyrosine is deprotonated. The proton-coupled electron transfer appears to be sequential rather than concerted. We also report direct time measurements on the end-to-end loop formation processes of the peptide in water.

  • Noble diamine monomers containing thiophene moiety were prepared, such as 2,5'''-diamino-2, 2':5', 2'':5'', 2'''-quaterthiophene (4TDA) and 2, 5'''''-diamino-3'', 4'''-dihexyl-2,2':5', 2'':5'', 2''':5''', 2'''':5'''', 2'''''-sexithiophene (6TDA). Then, these monomers were utilized to prepare polyimides with 3,6-diphenylpromellitic dianhydride (DPPMDA), 3,6-di(4'-trifluoro-methylphenyl) pyromellitic dianhydride (6FPMDA) or 3,6-di(3',5'-bis (trifluoromethyl)phenyl) pyromellitic dianhydride (12FPMDA) via a conventional two-step process. The polyimides were characterized by FT-IR, TGA and DSC, and then subjected CV, UV-vis and PL measurements. The polyimides containing thiophene moiety exhibited high glass transition temperatures ($280{\sim}310^{\circ}C$) and excellent thermal stability (> $420^{\circ}C$) in air as well as green emission (535~586 nm).

  • In order to compare Kimchi fermentability of Chinese cabbage cultivars, five cultivars grown in Korea were fermented in 3% NaCl. The measurements were done for both the fermenting properties: bacterial growth, $CO_2$ generation, acid production, dissolved oxygen, pH changes in the fermenting broth and extractable sugars form the cabbage tissue and salt solution, respectively. The measured values were scorized to evaluate the cultivar's fitness to Kimchi processing. The most rapid cultivar is Naeseu Baekno and the lowest one is Mussang.

  • A microdialysis coupled flow injection amperometric $({\mu}FIA)$ biosensor was calibrated to measure the concentration of sucrose using 11 standard samples from 2 ml to 70 ml of sucrose solution. The output of the sensor increased linearly with an increase in the sucrose concentration with an $r^2$ correlation of 0.99. The amperometric biosensor was then applied to measure the sucrose concentration of 4 commercial samples (Orange and Pineapple juices, Pepsi, Sprite) and the results compared with those by HPLC. Around $20\~30\%$ error was observed in sucrose concentration measurements of the samples analyzed. The sensor has potential in rapid measurement once the calibration is done. Potential for on-line sensing is also discussed.

  • In this study, ion beam deposited tungsten thin film for gate material of GaAs SAGFET(Self Aligned Gate FET) was annealed from 800\ulcorner to 900\ulcorner using RTA and detailed investigations of structural and electrical characteristics of this film were carried out using four-point probe, XRD, SEM, AES and current-voltage measurement. Investigated results showed phase of as deposited tungsten film was fine grain \ulcornerphase and phase tdransformation of this film into \ulcornerphase occured at annealing condition of 900\ulcorner, 6sec. But regardless of phase transformation, electrical characteristics of tungsten film were very stable to 900\ulcorner and in case of 900\ulcorner, 4sec annealing condition Schottky barrier height obtained from 10 diodes measurements was 0.66 + 0.003 eV.

  • We investigated an anti-aliasing (AA) filter for digital camera photography by which the excessively high-frequency components of the image signal are suppressed to avoid the aliasing effect. Our optomechanical AA filter was implemented by applying rapid relative motions to the imaging sensor. By the engineered motion blur of the mechanical dithers, the effective point-spread function (PSF) of the imaging system could be tailored to reject the unwanted high-frequency components of the image. For optimal operations, we developed a spiral filter motion protocol that could produce a Gaussian-like PSF. We experimentally demonstrated that our AA filter provides an improved filtering characteristic with a better compromise of the rejection performance and the signal loss. We also found that the pass band characteristic can be enhanced further by a color-differential acquisition mode. Our filter scheme provides a useful method of digital photography for low-error image measurements as well as for ordinary photographic applications where annoying $moir{\acute{e}}$ patterns must be suppressed efficiently.

  • It is very useful benefits to use the megavoltage photon beams in deep site tumor radiotherapy for skin sparing effects. But, In some cases of head and mock tumors, it is often necessary to use spoiler for rapid buildup on skin region. A spoiler with tissue equivalent material to be moved between the patients and the collimator can increase or control the skin dose and buildup region due to position and thickness of the spoiler was measured. Then, the effect of spoiler on skin dose and build up region in protruded tumor of head and neck was evaluated quantitatively. The measurements were abtained with PTW 2334 chamber (Markus type) on a polystylene phantom for 6MV x-ray from an accelerator.

  • In this study, the Ground Penetrating Radar(GPR) was tested to evaluate the condition of concrete decks. Test results obtained by CPR were compared with values measured from drilled cores and damage mapping by the visual survey. It is shown that GPR can provide highly accurate measurements of layer properties of concrete decks and can map areas of deterioration in bridge decks by dielectric constants. The deck condition can be grouped into categories of "good" or "distressed". The ground penetrating radar data shows promise for producing rapid and accurate condition assessment for bridge decks. And these data can be used to evaluate highway bridge condition and make cost-effective bridge deck rehabilitation by accurately estimating the quantity of deteriorated concrete.
