Proteases from papaya latex were partially purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation and separated into two fractions (Fraction I and II ) by carboxymethyl cellelose column chromatography. Each fraction, mixture of the two fractions, and crude extract of the papaya latex at pH 7.0 were inactivated at the range of $60{\sim}90^{\circ}C$ and thermal properties of the enzymes were investigated. In the thermal inactivation of fraction I, the enthalpy of activation was 89.5 kJ/mol; the entropy of activation, -44.0 J/mol K; the free energy of activation, 104.6 kJ/mol; z-value, $25^{\circ}C$. For fraction II, the enthalpy of activation was 96.5 kJ,/mol; the entropy of activation, -22.0 J/mol K; the free energy of activation, 104.0 kJ/mol; z-value, $23^{\circ}C$. For the mixture of fraction I and II, the enthalpy of activation was 90.9 kJ/mol; the entropy of activation, -38.8 J/mol·K; the free energy of activation, 104.2 kJ/mol; z-value, $24.6^{\circ}C$. For crude extract, the enthalpy of activation was 113.8 kJ/mol; the entropy of activation, 22.0 J/mol·K; the free energy of activation, 106.2 kJ/mol; z-value, $23.2^{\circ}C$. It was indicated that the fraction I was more heat-stable than the fraction II and this suggested that the thermal stability of the proteases in papaya latex is probably due to the fraction I.

Streptococcus sp J-C1 producing bacteriocin was isolated from Kimchi. The optimum conditions for bacteriocin production by Streptococcus sp. J-C1 were evaluated. For the maximum yield of bacteriocin production by Streptococcus sp. J-C1, the cell should be harvested at the late stationary phase and the temperature, pH and NaCl concentration should be 25$\circ$C, pH 8 and without the addition of NaCl, respectively. Sucrose should be used as a carbon source and organic nitrogen such as peptone should be used as a nitorgen source for the best yield. The production of bacteriocin is related to the cell growth of Streptococcus sp. J-C1. The bacteriocin from Streptococcus sp. J-C1 was active for gram positive microorganisms such as Lactobacillus sp., Leuconoctoc sp., Lactococcus sp., Streptococcus mutans, Staphylococcus aureus amd Bacillus subtilis and also active for gram negetive bacteria such as Acetobacter aceti. Antibacterial activity of the bacteriocin was completely disappeared by protease treatment.

Purpose: The interaction of the Fas: Fas ligand has been recognized to play an important role in radiation induced apoptosis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of Fas and Fas ligand mutations, in radiation-induced apoptosis in vivo. Materials and Methods: Mice with a mutation in the Fas ($C57BL/6J-Fas^{lpr}$) and its normal control (C57BL/6J) and the Fas ligand ($C3H/HeJ-Fas^{gld}$) and its normal control (C3H/HeJ), were used in this study. Eight-week old male mice were given whole body radiation. After irradiation, the mice were killed at various time intervals, and their spleens collected. Tissue sample was stained with hematoxylin-eosin, and the numbers of apoptotic cells scored. The regulating molecules of apoptosis including the p53, Bcl-2, Bax, $Bcl-X_L\;and\;Bcl-X_s$ genes were also analyzed by Western blotting. Results: With 2.5 Gy and 10 Gy of irradiation, the levels of apoptosis were lower in the $C57BL/6J-Fas^{lpr}\;and\;C3H/HeJ-Fas^{gld}$ mice than in the control mice (p<0.05). With the expression of apoptosis regulating molecules, the Bax was increased in both the C57BL/6J and C3H/HeJ mice in response to radiation; the peak levels of Bax in the C57BL6J and C3H/HeJ were 3 and 3.3-fold higher after 8hr, respectively. However the Bax was not increased in either the $C57BL/6J-Fas^{lpr}\;or\;C3H/HeJ-Fas^{gld}$mice. The p53, Bcl-X_L,\;Bcl-X_S$and Bcl-2 showed no significant changes in the $C57BL/6J-Fas^{lpr},\;C3H/HeJ-Fas^{gld}$, C57BL/6J and C3H/HeJ mice. Conclusion: The levels of radiation-induced apoptosis were lower in the lpr and gld, than the control mice, which seemed to be related to the level of Bax activation due to the radiation in the lpr and gld mice. This result suggests that Fas/Fas L plays an important role in radiation-induced apoptosis in vivo.

Let X, Y be vector spaces, and let r be 2 or 4. It is shown that if an odd mapping $f:X{\rightarrow}Y$ satisfies the functional equation $${\hspace{50}}rf(\frac{\sum_{j=1}^{d}\;x_j} {r})+\;{\sum\limits_{\iota(j)=0,1 \atop {\sum_{j=1}^{d}}\;{\iota}(j)=l}}\;rf(\frac{\sum_{j=1}^{d}{(-1)^{\iota(j)}x_j}}{r}) \\({\ddag}){\hspace{160}}=(_{d-1}C_l-_{d-1}C_{l-1}+1)\;{\sum\limits_{j=1}^{d}\;f(x_j)}$$ then the odd mapping $f:X{\rightarrow}Y$ is additive, and we prove the Cauchy-Rassias stability of the functional equation in Banach modules over a unital $C^*$-algebra. As an application, we show that every almost linear bijection $h:{\mathcal{A}}{\rightarrow}{\mathcal{B}}$ of a unital $C^*$-algebra ${\mathcal{A}}$ onto a unital $C^*$-algebra ${\mathcal{B}}$ is a $C^*$-algebra isomorphism when $h(2^nuy)=h(2^nu)h(y)$ for all unitaries $u{\in}{\mathcal{A}}$, all $y{\in}{\mathcal{A}}$, and $n=0,1,2,{\cdots}$.

In this paper, the plane stress fracture toughness of cold rolled 4.5mm thick SS41 steel plate was investigated for various crack ratios respectively in case of base metal, normalized and annealed heat-treated specimens using the method of J-integral. The specimen geometry used was double edge tension (DET) specimen. The experiments were performed on an Instron machine and all the crack lengths were measured by travelling microscope. The plane stress fracture toughness obtained by the method of Rice equation was J sub(1C)=22.8kgf/mm for the base metal, j sub(1C)-24.7kgf/mm for the normalized specimen and J sub(1C)=26.9 kgf/mm for the annealed. The J-integral computed at the limit load was found unsuitable for fracture toughness determination, because of large variation depending on the crack ratio.

Single Josephson junctions of 50 $\mu$m $\times$ 50 $\mu$m were fabricated for several oxidation conditions to investigate controllabilities of critical current density ($J_{c}$) with the standard KRISS processes. Considering the self-field effect suppressing the observed critical current ($I_{c}$) at high $J_{c}$ region, we could reasonably estimate $J_{c}$ values from I-V observations. The dependence of the estimated $J_{c}$ as a function of exposure, which is equal to pressure(P) times time(t), was well fitted to a curve of $J_{c}$ ~ $(Pt)^{-0.36}$. The maximum $J_{c}$ value at the controllability margin was found to be 4 kA/$cm^{2}$ with the current equipment set up.

This study examined the effect of the heat treatment and alloying elements (B, Ti) on the microstructures and mechanical properties of API J55 steel. The experiments were carried out using various austenization temperatures ($880^{\circ}C$, $910^{\circ}C$, $940^{\circ}C$), cooling methods (water quenching, oil quenching) and tempering temperatures (none, $550^{\circ}C$, $650^{\circ}C$) with J55 and J55+B,Ti steels. The phase diagram and CCT curve were simulated based on the chemical compositions of the J55 and J55+B,Ti steels to predict the microstructures. The results showed that the A1 and A3 temperatures decreased and, as a result, the noses of the ferrite and bainite parts of the CCT curve moved to the right. Various microstructures were formed, namely martensite, bainite, ferrite and pearlite, in accordance with the heat treatment, which had an effect on the hardness, tensile strength and toughness. Martensite was formed after water quenching, but bainite and ferrite appeared after oil quenching with the J55 specimens. On the other hand, martensite was formed, regardless of the cooling method (water quenching, oil quenching), with the J55+B,Ti specimens, because of the improvement of the hardenability caused by the addition of boron. Therefore, the J55+B,Ti specimens exhibited much higher mechanical properties than the J55 specimens, even after the tempering treatment, since the addition of Ti caused fine precipitates to be formed, which inhibited grain growth at the recrystallization temperature.

Let X, Y be vector spaces. It is shown that if an even mapping $f:X{\rightarrow}Y$ satisfies f(0) = 0, and $$2(_{2d-2}C_{d-1}-_{2d-2}C_d)f\({\sum_{j=1}^{2d}}x_j\)+{\sum_{{\iota}(j)=0,1,{{\small\sum}_{j=1}^{2d}}{\iota}(j)=d}}\;f\({\sum_{j=1}^{2d}}(-1)^{{\iota}(j)}x_j\)=2(_{2d-1}C_d+_{2d-2}C_{d-1}-_{2d-2}C_d){\sum_{j=1}^{2d}}f(x_j)$$ for all $x_1$, ${\cdots}$, $x_{2d}{\in}X$, then the even mapping $f:X{\rightarrow}Y$ is quadratic. Furthermore, we prove the Hyers-Ulam stability of the above functional equation in Banach spaces.

We analyzed the MnIr thickness dependence of torque signals measured in exchange coupled CoFe/MnIr ($t_{AF}$) bilayers. The measured torque signals were compared with calculated ones by Stoner-Wohlfarth model. The exchange coupling anisotropy $J_c$ was considered for the model calculation between ferromagnetic (F) and antiferromagnetic (AF) layers with uniaxial anisotropy constant of $K_F$ and $K_{AF}$, respectively. The rotational losses were appeared in the range of $0.5t_c$ < $t_{AF}$ < $t_c$ ($=J_c/K_{AF}$) by the unpinned AF layer. While, the unidirectional anisotropy ($J_k$) was caused by the pinned AF layer at $t_{AF}$ > $t_c$. The critical thickness of MnIr layer was $t_c$ = 3.4 nm in CoFe/MnIr bilayers. The rotational losses behavior as shown in $t_{AF}$ = 3 nm sample were explained by the random orientation of the easy axis of AF grains. The unidirectional anisotropy obtained from torque signal of $t_{AF}$ = 10 nm sample was $J_k=0.63J_c$. Thus, the unidirectional anisotropy can be enhanced up to $J_k=J_c$ by aligning the AF easy axis.

This paper proposed a division algorithm of performance complexity $O{\frac{n(n+1)}{2}}$ for a change-making problem(CMP) in which polynomial time algorithms are not known as NP-hard problem. CMP seeks to minimize the sum of the x_j number of coins exchanged when a given amount of money C is exchanged for c_j,j=1,2,⋯,n coins. Known polynomial algorithms for CMPs are greedy algorithms(GA), divide-and-conquer (DC), and dynamic programming(DP). The optimal solution can be obtained by DP of O(nC), and in general, when given C>2ⁿ, the performance complexity tends to increase exponentially, so it cannot be called a polynomial algorithm. This paper proposes a simple algorithm that calculates quotient by dividing upper triangular matrices and main diagonal for k×n matrices in which only j columns are placed in descending order of c_j of n for c_j ≤ C and i rows are placed k excluding all the dividers in c_j. The application of the proposed algorithm to 39 benchmarking experimental data of various types showed that the optimal solution could be obtained quickly and accurately with only a calculator.
