The $(\alpha, \beta)$-metric is a Finsler metric which is constructed from a Riemannian metric $\alpha$ and a differential 1-form $\Beta$; it has been sometimes treat in theoretical physics. In particular, the projective flatness of Finsler space with a metric $L^2 = 2\alpha\beta$ is considered in detail.

Background: This study was planned in an attempt to develop scales for the assessment of fatigue in pediatric oncology patients aged 13-18 and also for their parents. Materials and Methods: In collecting the study data, we used the Child and Parent Information Form, Visual Fatigue Scale, Scale for the Assessment of Fatigue in Pediatric Oncology Patients Aged 13-18 and the Scale for the Assessment of Fatigue in Pediatric Oncology Patients Aged 13-18 for Parents. We also used Pearson correlation analysis, Cronbach alpha coefficient, factor analysis and ROC analysis for the study data. Results: In this study, the total Cronbach alpha value of the parent form was 0.99, the total factor load was 0.72-0.94 with 95% the total variance being explained. The cutoff point of the parent form is 73 points. The total Cronbach alpha value of the child form was 0.99, the total factor load was 0.82-0.95, with 89.4% of the total variance being explained. The cutoff point of the child form was 75.5 points. Conclusions: This study suggests that the Scale for the Assessment of Fatigue in Pediatric Oncology Patients Aged 13-18 and the Scale for the Assessment of Fatigue in Pediatric Oncology Patients Aged 13-18 for Parents are valid and reliable instruments in assessing the fatigue symptoms of children in Turkey.

The variety of crystalline structure and mechanical properties of PP filament treated with dry heat treatment at different draw ratio has been studied. Crystalline structure and mechanical properties of annealed PP filament at different draw ratio has been examined by XRD, UTM, and density method. Heat treatment has been carried out $100^{\circ}C$, $120^{\circ}C$ $140^{\circ}C$ for 30min. in dry oven. From the results of this study, it found the following facts. It was found that the crystallinity and crystallite size of (110) plane of sample were increased with increasing of annealed temperature and draw ratio. The crystalline form of annealed sample which was undrawn showed ${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$ mixing form below $120^{\circ}C$ and showed ${\alpha}$ form at $140^{\circ}C$. But the crystalline form of annealed sample which was drawn showed ${\alpha}$ form at $120^{\circ}C$. Initial modulus and tensile strength were increased with increasing of annealing temperature, and the degree of orientation was decreased with decreasing of annealing temperature.

Photolysis of $\alpha$-(o-alkylphenyl) indanones resulted in $\alpha$-cleavage followed by disproportionation to form E-and Z- ortho-formyl stilbenes. No evidences of hydrogen abstraction reactions were collected from these indanones. The minimum rate constant of $\alpha$-cleavage in the $\alpha$-(o-alkylphenyl) indanones was estimated to be 5.5$\times$10$^{10}$ s$^{-1}$ .

The molecular structure of cyclobutylmethyl ketone (c-$C_4H_7COCH_3$) has been investigated by molecular mechanics II (MM2). For the monosubstituted cyclobutane there are two possible ring conformations, the equatorial and axial form, but for the cyclobutylmethyl ketone the equatorial form is predominant conformation. For the $COCH_3$ moiety there are two stable orientations which are the equatorial-gauche and the equatorial-trans form. The equatorial-gauche form where the C = O bond is nearly eclipsing (torsional angle ${\angle}C4-C3-C2-O10=14.5^{\circ}$) one of the ${\alpha}$C-C bonds of the four-membered ring was preferred conformer with steric energy of 13.37 kcal/mol. The equatorial-trans form where the C = O bond is nearly eclipsing (${\angle}C4-C3-C2-O10=145.0^{\circ}$) the ${\alpha}$ C-H bond of the four-membered ring was less stable conformer with steric energy of 15.40 kcal/mol.

논문은 서보계에 퍼지제어를 위하여 퍼지 $\alpha$-레벨 집합 분해에 기초하한 퍼지추론 계산식이 유도 되었다. 유도한 계산식에 기초한 PI+PD형 퍼지 제어기는 퍼지 추론에서 비퍼지화까지 일체형으로 구성되어 PWM 조작량 u를 발생하는 퍼지 로직 회로가 제안되었다. 시뮬레이션에 의해 퍼지추론의 $\alpha$-레벨의 효과가 검토되어 직류 서보계의 퍼지제어에서 $\alpha$-레벨 양자화수는 4단계이면 충분한 것을 알 수 있다. 제안한 하드웨어 퍼지제어기는 직류 서보계의 위치제어에 시뮬레이션과 실험이 성공적으로 행할 수 있었다.

The structure development and dynamic properties of fibers produced by high-speed spinning of P(EN-ET) random copolymers were investigated. The as-spun fibers were found to remain amorphous up to the spinning speed of 1500 m/min, and subsequent increases in speed resulted in the crystalline domains containing primarily $\alpha$ crystalline modification of PEN. The f modification was not found up to spinning speeds of 4500 m/min. On the other hand, annealing of constrained fibers spun at the 2100 m/min at 180,200, and 240^{\circ}C$ exhibited $\beta$-form crystalline structure, while the annealed fibers spun in 600-1500 m/min range exhibited dominantly $\alpha$-form. However $\beta$-form crystals disappeared above the spinning speed of 3000 m/min. With increasing spinning speeds from 600 to 4500 m/min, the storage modulus of as-spun fibers increased continuously and reached a value of about 10.4 spa at room temperature. The tan $\delta$curves showed the $\alpha$-relaxation peak at about 155-165^{\circ}C$, which is considered to correspond to the glass transition. The $\alpha$-relaxation peaks became smaller and broader, and shift to higher temperatures as the spinning speed increases, meaning that molecular mobility in the amorphous region is restricted by increased crystalline domain.

Methylophaga aminisulfidivorans $MP^T$, a restricted facultative marine methylotrophic bacterium, was able to utilize methanol as a sole carbon and energy source, and possessed a methanol dehydrogenase (MDH) that is a key enzyme in the process of methanol oxidation. During purification of MDH, three types of MDH (MDH I, II, and III) were obtained in the cell free extracts from $MP^T$ cells grown on methanol. When analyzed by SDS-PAGE and ESI-FT ICR MS, MDH I was confirmed to consist of two subunits and with molecular masses of ~66 and ~10 kDa, respectively, in a form of ${\alpha}_2{\beta}_2$. While MDH II and MDH III contained an additional ~30 kDa protein, designated ${\gamma}$, in a form of ${\alpha}_2{\beta}_2{\gamma}$ and ${\alpha}_2{\beta}_2{\gamma}_2$, respectively. MDH III showed 1.5.2.0 times higher activity than MDH II, while MDH I remained the lowest activity. Based on these observations and experimental data, it seems that the original MDH conformation is ${\alpha}_2{\beta}_2{\gamma}2$ within $MP^T$ growing on methanol, and subunit ${\gamma}$ keeps MDH in an active form, and/or makes MDH easily bind to the substrate, methanol.
