A dual band I/Q modulator which converts baseband input signals to 2.4GHz or 5GHz RF output has been proposed. The dual band I/Q modulator for 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless LAN applications consists of $90^{\circ}$ phase shifter and wideband mixer. The I/Q modulator showed 15dB conversion loss at 2.4GHz and 16dB conversion loss at 5GHz. The sideband suppression is about 15dBc at 2.4GHz and 16dBc at 5GHz. Measured data shows 8.5% EVM at 2.4GHz, and 10% EVM at 5GHz for QPSK with symbol rate of 11Mbps. A carrier rejection is about 40dBc at 2.4GHz/5GHz band, and the I/Q modulator satisfied the output wireless LAN spectrum mask with baseband input signal.

Rhizobium radiobacter T6102 was morphologically purified by the aniline blue agar plates to give two distinct colonies; white smooth mucoid colony (T6102W) and blue rough colony (T6102B). The coenzyme $Q_{10}$ ($CoQ_{10}$) was produced just by T6102W, showing 2.0 mg/g of $CoQ_{10}$ content, whereas the T6102B did not produce the $CoQ_{10}$. All of the used $CoQ_{10}$ biosynthetic precursors enhanced the $CoQ_{10}$ production by T6102W. Specifically, the supplementation of 0.75 mM isopentenyl alcohol improved the $CoQ_{10}$ concentration (19.9 mg/l) and content (2.4 mg/g) by 42% and 40%, respectively.

The aim of this study was to examine whether there is an association between vitamin intakes and established periodontitis in Korean adult population. The 6,245 subjects aged over 19 years old, who participated in health survey, oral examination and nutrition survey were selected for this study from the database of the Fourth Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Established periodontitis was defined as ${\geq}$ code 3 in community periodontal index. Vitamin intake was assessed with the food-frequency questionnaire. In analysis, participants were classified by quintile of vitamin intakes. We also considered covariates as socio-demographic characteristics, health-related behaviors including physical activities, systemic diseases and oral health-related behaviors. Multiple logistic regression was performed to assess the crude and adjusted associations. All analyses considered a complex sampling design using SAS 9.2. In crude analysis, less intake of vitamin A, retinol and vitamin B2 significantly increased the risk of periodontitis (vitamin A, odds ratio [OR] Q1=1.00, Q2=0.73, Q3=0.80, Q4=0.77, Q5=0.78; retinol, OR: Q1=1.00, Q2=0.86, Q3=0.73, Q4=0.62, Q5=0.55; vitamin B2, OR: Q1=1.00, Q2=0.70, Q3=0.63, Q4=0.67, Q5=0.68). However, after adjusting for socio-demographics, general and oral health status and behaviors, only vitamin B2 was significantly associated with established periodontitis (OR: Q1=1.00, Q2=0.72, Q3=0.73, Q4=0.76, Q5=0.84). An adequate vitamin B2 intake was significantly associated with a decreased risk of periodontitis. This finding shows that nutrient intake is slightly correlated with periodontitis in Korean adult population. Further studies are needed to understand this association between nutrients intake and periodontitis in more details.

The occurrence of tobacco whiteflies, Bemisia tabaci, in greenhouses was monitored in Korea in 2005. Bemisia tabaci occurred in the rose, sweet pepper, tomato, and cucumber greenhouses of Chungbuk, Chungnam, Gyongnam, and Jeonnam Provinces, but not in Jeonbuk and Gyongbuk Provinces. The biotypes and genetic differentiation of the whiteflies collected in each regions were analyzed by mitochondrial 16S DNA sequences. The 16S DNA sequences of Jincheon (Chungbuk Province) samples were similar to DNA data reported from Japan and Israel which were known as the B biotype. However, the DNA sequences of the Buyeo (Chungnam), Geoje (Gyongnam) and Boseong (Jeonnam) collections, which were 100% homologous showed over 99% similarity to the DNA of Q biotype from Spain and Egyrt. Here we report the first founding of the Q biotype in Korea. It is assumed that, unlike the B biotype reported from Jincheon since 1998, the Q biotype might have been introduced recently from the certain foreign region/country to the greenhouses in those provinces.

Secretin PilQ is an antigenically conserved outer membrane protein that is present in most meningococci and PorA is a major protein that elicits bactericidal immune response in humans following natural disease and immunization. In the present study, BALB/c mice were immunized subcutaneously with rPilQ406-770 or rPorA together with Freund's adjuvant (FA). Serum antibody responses to serogroup A and B Neisseria meningitides whole cells or purified proteins and functional activity of antibodies were determined by ELISA and serum bactericidal assay (SBA), respectively. Serum IgG responses were significantly increased in the immunized group with rPilQ406-770 or rPorA together with FA compared to control groups. IgG antibody response of mice immunized with rPilQ406-770 was significantly more than mice immunized with rPorA (OD at 450 nm was 1.6 versus 0.83). The booster injections were effective in increasing the responses of antirPilQ406-770 or anti-rPorA IgG significantly. Antisera produced against rPilQ406-770 or rPorA demonstrated strong surface reactivity to serogroup B N. meningitides in comparison with control groups. Antisera raised against rPorA or rPilQ406-770 and FA demonstrated SBA titers from 1/1024 to 1/2048 against serogroup B. The strongest bactericidal activity was detected in sera from mice immunized with rPilQ406-770 mixed with FA. These results suggest that rPilQ406-770 is a potential vaccine candidate for serogroup B N. meningitidis.

International trade is one of the primary ways that non-native species spread worldwide. Korea and China are geographically close and have a large mutual trade volume. To investigate the population movement of the invasive whitefly(Bemisia tabaci Gennadius) between the two countries, we compared the biotype distribution, insecticidal response, and the TYLCV(tomato yellow leaf curl virus) viruliferous rate of local populations collected in 2019. Based on the mitochondrial DNA COI sequences of B. tabaci, only the Q biotype was found in all populations in Korea, whereas the B biotype (14.3%) and Q biotype (85.7%) were found in China. In the haplotype composition of the B. tabaci Q biotype, only the Q1 group[Q1H1(79.8%) and Q1H2(20.2%)] was observed in China, but the Q1 group [Q1H1(1.7%) and Q1H2(97.5%)] and the Q2 group(only one individual) were found in Korea. The Korean populations showed high mortality(more than 80%) from 15 commercial insecticides, but the Chinese populations showed significantly low mortality from eight insecticides. No TYLCV infections were observed in the Korean populations while the average TYLCV viruliferous rate was 21.4% in the Chinese populations. Taken together, the results suggest that the population structures of B. tabaci in the two countries are different and may have different immigration histories.

It is impossible directly to find a prime number p,q of a large semiprime n = pq using Trial Division method. So the most of the factorization algorithms use the indirection method which finds a prime number of p = GCD(a-b, n), q=GCD(a+b, n); get with a congruence of squares of $a^2{\equiv}b^2$ (mod n). It is just known the fact which the area that selects p and q about n=pq is between $10{\cdots}00$ < p < $\sqrt{n}$ and $\sqrt{n}$ < q < $99{\cdots}9$ based on $\sqrt{n}$ in the range, [$10{\cdots}01$, $99{\cdots}9$] of $l(p)=l(q)=l(\sqrt{n})=0.5l(n)$. This paper proposes the method that reduces the range of p using information obtained from n. The proposed method uses the method that sets to $p_{min}=n_{LR}$, $q_{min}=n_{RL}$; divide into $n=n_{LR}+n_{RL}$, $l(n_{LR})=l(n_{RL})=l(\sqrt{n})$. The proposed method is more effective from minimum 17.79% to maxmimum 90.17% than the method that reduces using $\sqrt{n}$ information.

This paper is concerned with the positive definite solutions of the nonlinear matrix equation $X-A^*{\bar{X}}^{-1}A=Q$, where A, Q are given complex matrices with Q positive definite. We show that such a matrix equation always has a unique positive definite solution and if A is nonsingular, it also has a unique negative definite solution. Moreover, based on Sherman-Morrison-Woodbury formula, we derive elegant relationships between solutions of $X-A^*{\bar{X}}^{-1}A=I$ and the well-studied standard nonlinear matrix equation $Y+B^*Y^{-1}B=Q$, where B, Q are uniquely determined by A. Then several effective numerical algorithms for the unique positive definite solution of $X-A^*{\bar{X}}^{-1}A=Q$ with linear or quadratic convergence rate such as inverse-free fixed-point iteration, structure-preserving doubling algorithm, Newton algorithm are proposed. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of all the theoretical results and the behavior of the considered algorithms.
