The purpose of this study was the optimization of mixing ratio of rice flour, potato starch and soybean flour baking domestic rice cookies with nuts. Response surface methodology, with a central composite design comprising 5 levels and 3 variables, was used to identify the optimal combination of rice flour ($X_1$), potato starch ($X_2$) and soybean flour ($X_3$). The physical properties of 16 samples were analyzed, including color L (p<0.001), color a, color b (p<0.05), spreadability (p<0.05) and hardness (p<0.05). In sensory evaluations, color (p<0.05), flavor, taste (p<0.05), crunch (p<0.05) and overall quality (p<0.05) were differed significantly among the samples. The optimal compositional ratios were 78.90 g rice flour, 18.96 g potato starch, and 15.90 g the soybean flour in 420 g total weight.

A protease produced by Bacillus polyfermenticus SCD was purified and characterized as a new detergent material. The protease was purified from supernatant produced by B. polyfermenticus SCD, by ammonium sulfate precipitation, ion-exchange chromatography on a DEAE-Sephadex A-50, and finally gel filtration chromatography on Sephadex G-50. The molecular mass of this enzyme was 44 kDa based on SDS-PAGE. The optimum temperature and pH were $50^{\circ}C$ and pH 8.0. The ranges of its stability to the pH and temperature were 7.0 to 9.0 and under $40^{\circ}C$, respectively. The enzyme was highly stable in the presence of the surfactants like Triton X-100 (0.1%), showing a 2-fold increase in its proteolytic activity. However, the enzyme was slightly inhibited by the chelating agent EDTA (1 mM). The enzyme has a maximum activity at $50^{\circ}C$ and the activity can be increased by surfactants such as Triton X-100 and Tween 80.

In this paper, the individual number of the future has depended not only upon the present individual number but upon the present individual age, considering the stochastic process model of individual number when the life span of each individual number and the individual age as a set, this becomes a Markovian. Therefore, in this paper the individual is treated as invariable, without depending upon the whole record of each individual since its birth. As a result, suppose {N(t), t>0} be a counting process and also suppose $Z_n$ denote the life span between the (n-1)st and the nth event of this process, (n{$geq}1$) : that is, when the first individual is established at n=1(time, 0), the Z$Z_n$ at time nth individual breaks, down. Random walk $Z_n$ is $Z_n=X_1+X_2+{\cdots}{\cdots}+X_A, Z_0=0$ So, fixed time t, the stochastic model is made up as follows ; A) Recurrence (Regeneration)number between(0.t) $N_t=max{n ; Z_n{\leq}t}$ B) Forwardrecurrence time(Excess life) $T^-I_t=Z_{Nt+1}-t$ C) Backward recurrence time(Current life) $T^-_t=t-Z_{Nt}$

Actein은 널리 알려진 승마 추출물의 주요 생리 활성 효능 성분이다. 본 연구에서는 acetylcholine 수용체의 활성을 억제하는 것으로 활용된 AchBP 단백질 길항제(antagonist) tubocurarine과 승마 추출물의 효능 성분 actein 및 actein 유도체(27-deoxyactin, (26S)-actein, (26R)-actein)들의 AchBP 단백질 B와 C domain 활성 부위에 대한 친화도 분석 실험을 컴퓨터 분자결합 분석 방법을 통해 비교하였다. AchBP 단백질 B와 C domain의 3차원 구조정보는 PDB database (PDB ID: 2XYT)를 활용하였다. In silico 결합 분석을 수행하기 위해 PyRx, Autodock Vina, Discovery Studio Version 4.5, and NX-QuickPharm 프로그램을 각 분석 조건에 따라 활용하였다. AchBP 단백질 B와 C domain 활성 부위에 대한 actein의 최대 결합친화도는 -10.50 kcal/mol으로 나왔으며 이는 -9.80 kcal/mol으로 분석된 tubocurarine의 결합 친화도 보다 훨씬 더 높고 효율적인 것으로 분석되었다. Tubocurarine에 비하여 결합친화도 값이 높게 분석된actein, 27-deoxyactein, (26R)-actein 유도체 성분들과 상호작용 하는 AchBP 단백질 활성 부위의 아미노산들 가운데 tryptophan 84와 tyrosine 147이 높은 결합친화도를 형성하는데 매우 중요한 역할을 하는 아미노산으로 예상이 되었다. Tubocurarine의 AchBP 단백질 활성 부위에 대한 X,Y,Z Grid 값은 X=38.300689, Y=112.053467, Z=51.991022으로 나왔으나 actein과 actein 유도체들은 대부분 X=26.4, Y=127.3, Z=43.7 값 주변에 centroid grid를 형성하였다. 즉, tubocurarine이 결합하는 부위와는 다른 부위에 결합하여 AchBP의 활성에 영향을 주는 것으로 사료되었다. 이상의 연구 결과들을 분석해 볼 때, 아세틸콜린 수용체 길항제 tubocurarine보다 승마 추출물 생리 활성 물질인 actein과 그 유도체들이 보다 더 효율적인 아세틸콜린 수용체 길항제로 작용할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 결론적으로 승마 추출물 또는 actein 성분은 피부 주름 개선 효능을 지닌 보톡스를 대체하거나 또는 주름 개선용 화장품 신물질 연구 개발 분야에 효율적으로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The structural changes of $Li_{1-x}Ni_{0.5}Co_{0.2}Mn_{0.3}O_2$ cathode material for lithium ion battery during the first charge was investigated in comparison with $Li_{1-x}Ni_{0.8}Co_{0.15}Al_{0.05}O_2$ using a synchrotron based in situ X-ray diffraction technique. The structural changes of these two cathode materials show similar trend during first charge: an expansion along the c-axis of the unit cell with contractions along the a- and b-axis during the early stage of charge and a major contraction along the c-axis with slight expansions along the a- and b-axis near the end of charge at high voltage limit. In $Li_{1-x}Ni_{0.5}Co_{0.2}Mn_{0.3}O_2$ cathode, however, the initial unit cell volume of H2 phase is bigger than that of H1 phase since the c-axis undergo large expansion while a- and b- axis shrink slightly. The change in the unit cell volume for $Li_{1-x}Ni_{0.5}Co_{0.2}Mn_{0.3}O_2$ during charge is smaller than that of $Li_{1-x}Ni_{0.8}Co_{0.15}Al_{0.05}O_2$. This smaller change in unit cell volume may give the $Li_{1-x}Ni_{0.5}Co_{0.2}Mn_{0.3}O_2$ cathode material a better structural reversibility for a long cycling life.

It has been reported that the creep characteristics on weldment which is composed of weld metal(W.M), fusion line(F.L), heat-affected zone(HAZ), and base meta(B.M) could be unpredictably changed in severe service conditions such as high temperature and high pressure. However, the studies done on creep damage in power plant components have been mostly conducted on B.M and not the creep properties of the localized microstructures in weldment have been thoroughly investigated yet. In this paper, it is investigated the creep characteristics for three microstructures like coarse-grain HAZ(CGHAZ), W.M, and B.M in X20CrMoV121 steel weldment by the small punch-creep-(SP-Creep) test using miniaturized specimen(l0×10×0.5mm). The W.M microstructure possesses the higher creep resistance and shows lower creep strain rate than the B.M and CGHAZ. In the lower creep load the highest creep strain rate is exhibited in CGHAZ, whereas in the higher creep load the B.M represents the high creep strain rate. The power law correlation for all microstructures exists between creep rate and creep load at 600℃. The values of creep load index (n) based on creep strain rate for B.M, CGHAZ, and W.M are 7.54, 4.23, and 5.06, respectively and CGHAZ which shows coarse grains owing to high welding heat has the lowest creep loade index. In all creep loads, the creep life for W.M shows the highest value.

Three isoforms of pig PDE4B were cloned and classified as two forms: PDE4B1 and PDE4B3, which contain UCR1 and UCR2; and PDE4B2, which contains only UCR2. The amino acid sequences of each isoform showed good conservation in human and rat. PDE4B2 is expressed in a wide range of tissues, but PDE4B1 and PDE4B3 are not. Using an informative SNP for the Iberian x Landrace intercross detected from intron 12, a linkage map was constructed. The location of PDE4B was estimated at 123.6 cM outside of the QTL-CI (124-128 cM) for IMF. However, the QTL-CI for IMF was reconfirmed with high significance, and its position was narrowed down to an interval of 4 cM (the region defined by markers PDE4B and SW1881). Using radiation hybrid mapping, LEPR, LEPROT, DNAJC6, AK3L1 and AK3L2 were selected as positional and/or functional candidates related to the QTL.

Alanine racemase, a bacterial enzyme belonging to the fold-type III group of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP)-dependent enzymes, has been shown to catalyze the interconversion between L- and D-alanine. The alanine racemase from the pathogenic bacterium Enterococcus faecalis v583 has been overexpressed in E. coli and was shown to crystallize an enzyme at 295 K, using polyethylene glycol (PEG) 8000 as a precipitant. X-ray diffraction data to $2.5{\AA}$ has been collected using synchrotron radiation. The crystal is a member of the orthorhombic space group, $C222_1$ with unit cell parameter of a=94.634, b=156.516, $c=147.878{\AA},\;and\;{\alpha}={\beta}={\gamma}=90{\AA}$. Two or three monomers are likely to be present in the asymmetric unit, with a corresponding $V_m\; of\;3.38{\AA}^3\;Da^{-1}\;and\;2.26{\AA}^3\;Da^{-1}$ and a solvent content of 63.7% and 45.5%, respectively.

Creatine kinase (CK; E.C. 2.7.3.2) is an important enzyme that catalyzes the reversible transfer of a phosphoryl group from ATP to creatine in energy homeostasis. The brain-type cytosolic isoform of creatine kinase (BB-CK), which is found mainly in the brain and retina, is a key enzyme in brain energy metabolism, because high-energy phosphates are transfered through the creatine kinase/phosphocreatine shuttle system. The recombinant human BB-CK protein was overexpressed as a soluble form in Escherichia coli and crystallized at $22^{\circ}C$ using PEG 4000 as a precipitant. Native X-ray diffraction data were collected to $2.2{\AA}$ resolution using synchrotron radiation. The crystals belonged to the tetragonal space group $P4_32_12$, with cell parameters of a=b=97.963, $c=164.312{\AA},\;and\;{\alpha}={\beta}={\gamma}=90^{\circ}$. The asymmetric unit contained two molecules of CK, giving a crystal volume per protein mass $(V_m)$ of $1.80{\AA}^3\;Da^{-1}$ and a solvent content of 31.6%.
