Photocatalysis, which can be applied to get energy economically, to synthesize useful materials, and to remove environmentally harmful materials by transforming solar energy to chemical energy, has many advantages over conventional heterogeneous catalysis. In this review article, both heterogeneous and homogeneous photocatalyses were discussed focusing on the principles of photocatalysis, the modification of the photocatalysts, hydrogen formation by water decomposition, and environmental application of photocatalysis.

We present the structural, magnetic, and electrical properties in the (Al,Mn)N films with various Mn concentrations grown by plasma-enhanced molecular beam epitaxy. X-ray diffraction analyses reveal that the (Al,Mn)N films have the wurtzite structure without secondary phases. All (Al,Mn)N films showed the ferromagnetic ordering. Particularly, ($Al_{1-x}Mn_{x}$)N film with x = 0.028 exhibited the highest magnetic moment per Mn atom at room temperature. Since all the films exhibit the insulating characteristics, the origin of ferromagnetism in (Al,Mn)N might be attributed to either indirect exchange interaction caused by virtual electron excitations from Mn acceptor level to the valence band within the samples or a percolation of bound magnetic polarons arisen from exchange interaction of localized carriers with magnetic impurities in a low carrier density regime.

Synthesis graphene on Cu substrate by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PE-CVD) is investigated and its quality's affection factors are discussed in this work. Compared with the graphene synthesized at high temperature in chemical vapor deposition (CVD), the low-temperature graphene film by PE-CVD has relatively low quality with many defects. However, the advantage of low-temperature is also obvious that low melting point materials will be available to synthesize graphene as substrate. In this study, the temperature will be kept constant in $400^{\circ}C$ and the graphene was grown in plasma environment with changing the plasma power, the flow rate of precursors, and the distance between plasma generator coil and substrates. Then, we investigate the effect of temperature and the influence of process variables to graphene film's quality and characterize the film properties with Raman spectroscopy and sheet resistance and optical emission spectroscopy.

In this paper, we have developed a simple, new and economical carbonation method to synthesize a pure form of aragonite needles using dolomite raw materials. The obtained aragonite Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC) was characterized by XRD and SEM, for the measurement of morphology, particle size, and aspect ratio (ratio of length to diameter of the particles). The synthesis of aragonite PCC involves two steps. At first, after calcinated dolomite fine powder was dissolved in water for hydration, the hydrated solution was mixed with aqueous solution of magnesium chloride at $80^{\circ}C$, and then $CO_2$ was bubbled into the suspension for 3 h to produce aragonite PCC. Finally, aragonite type precipitated calcium carbonate can be synthesized from natural dolomite via a simple carbonation process, yielding product with average particle size of $30-40{\mu}m$.

Meta-analysis is used in variety of areas to synthesize the results of previous studies. Among the methods for Meta-analysis, combining p-values is the simplest method; in addition Tippett (1931), Fisher (1932), Stuoffer at al. (1949), proposed various methods to combine p-values. We propose a new method to combine p-values based on exponential distribution. A Monte Carlo simulation study compares the power of the proposed methods with previous methods.

As we note the electric properties of carbon nanotube, we need to generate carbon nanotubes vertically. Generally, metal catalysts are used to synthesis carbon nanotubes. But through using DLC, dense patricles could be gotten easily. Compare to the case of using metal catalysts, the case of using DLC can conduct vertical grwoth of CNTs easily. In this paper, we changed growth temperature (550, 650, $7500^{\circ}C$) and growth time (3, 6, 9 min) in order to confirm synthesize vertical growth of CNTs on substrates.

For desired optical properties of QDs, it is very important to reduce the presence of defects on their surfaces. Passivation of surface defects using larger band gap materials is the most effective way. Some groups successfully synthesized Cd based multi-shell structured quantum dots and improved its optical properties. However, its productivity has limit because of the amounts of glass ware and space. In this research, we try to synthesize Cd based multi-shell structured nanocrystal quantum dots to overcome demerits of conventional batch synthetic method. This reactor composed pump, SUS reaction part (3.2 mm stainless steel and furnace) and batch mixer. We successively synthesized CdSe/CdS/ZnS quantum dot at this reactor in one step.

In this study, the human gait trajectories during normal walking were synthesized using the inverse kinematics and optimization techniques. The synthesis is based on a gait model consisting of a torso and two legs. Each let has three segments: thigh, shank, foot, and has six degrees-of-freedom. In order to synthesize trajectories of this redundant system, the sum of angular displacements of articulating joints was selected as an objective function to be minimized. The proposed algorithm in this study is very useful for the analysis of human gait. For the gait analysis, the trajectories of four points in each leg should be measured. Hpwever, by using the algorithm, measuring the trajectories of two points is sufficient, and thus the experimental set-up can be simplified.

The objective of this study is to investigate the possibility of chemical process synthesis purely based on mathematical programming when given an objective, feed conditions, product specifications, and model equations for available process units. A method based on a state space approach is proposed, and applied to an example problem with a reactor, a heat exchanger, and a separator. The results indicate that a computer can automatically synthesize an optimal process without any heuristics or expertise in process design provided that global optimization techniques are improved to be suitable for large problems.
