From the gradual increasing state of charge (GISOC) observations, electrochemical behavior of multi-walled carbon nanotube│(lM LiP $F_{6}$ , EC,DEC,DME 3:5:5 volume ratio)│lithium cells was evaluated using the galvanostatic charge-discharge process. A MWCNT delivers a specific charge capacity of 1,300 mAh/g in a Li cell when cycled up to an end voltage of 0 V (vs. Li/L $i^{＋}$ )at a constant current rate every 10 hours. However, in the present study, the specific discharge capacity obtained is 338 mAh/g, thus amounting to a coulombic efficiency of only 26％. Further, when the MWCNT│Li cells were tested using the GISOC method, two distinguishable linear-fit ranges were observed due to the intercalation/deintercalation of lithium, which were found to have II $E_1$, IIC $s_1$ and II $E_2$of 27.3％, 372 mAh/g, and 25.5％, respectively. Q $c_1$, could be calculated from the data of IIE and IICs of each range by the modified equation "II $C_{sum}$= $\Sigma$( $Q_{C}$- $Q_{D}$)=(II $E_{1}$$^{-1}$ ) $Q_{Dl}$ ＋(II $E_2$$^{-1}$ -1) ( $Q_{D2}$- $Q_{Dl}$ ) ＋ IIC $s_1$= $Q_{Cl}$ - $Q_{Dl}$ ". Results of the GISOC method could be converted to the results of galvanostatic charge-discharge process, irrespective of the state of charge of the cell or battery.ery.y.y.

We analyzed spectral attenuation of coda waves and estimated coda Q values in the crust of the Korean peninsula. 574 NS-component seismograms registered by the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) and Korea Institute of Geology, Mining and Materials (KIGAM) seismic networks with epicentral distances less than 100 km and sampling rate greater than 80 Hz were selected for this study. We estimated coda Q values using the single isotropic scattering model at center frequencies of 1.5, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, and 18 Hz with 20 s time window starting from double of the S-wave arrival times. Estimated coda Q value at 1 Hz ($Q_0$) and n value range 50 to 250 and 0.5 to 1.0, respectively, and they are well correlated with the regional geology in the Korean peninsula. The $Q_0$ values in western Korea agree well with those of eastern China.

Two genes, dps encoding decaprenyl diphosphate synthase and dxs encoding 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate synthase, were isolated from Rhizobium radiobacter ATCC 4718. DNA sequencing analysis of the dps and dxs genes revealed an open reading frame of 1,077 bp and 1,920 bp, respectively. The heterologous expression in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) was carried out in order to identify their functions. Recombinant E. coli BL21(DE3) harboring the dps gene produced $CoQ_{10}$ as well as $CoQ_8$ and $CoQ_9$, whereas E. coli harboring only the dxs gene produced more $CoQ_8$ compared with the wild-type E. coli. Additionally, the coexpression of dps and dxs genes in E. coli was carried out. The recombinant E. coli harboring only the dps gene produced $0.21{\pm}0.04\;mg/l$ of $CoQ_{10}$, whereas the coexpressed E. coli with dps and dxs genes produced $0.37{\pm}0.07\;mg/l$ of $CoQ_{10}$. HPLC analysis also showed that the $CoQ_{10}$ fraction (100% of the total CoQs distribution) was increased from $15.86{\pm}0.66%$ (only dps) to $29.78{\pm}1.80%$ (dps and dxs).

Dry oxidation and wet oxidation processes of silicon have been examined experimentally. The oxidation temperatures were 1.10$0^{\circ}C$, 1.15$0^{\circ}C$, and 1.200 $^{\circ}C$, and oxygen flow rate was changed from 0.2 liter/min to 2.8 liter/min. From the experimental measurements, oxidation temperaturel time and oxygen flow rate have been tabutated for oxide layers 0.1$\mu$ - 1.0$\mu$ in thickness. The quality of the grown oxide layer has been investigated In terms of the dielectric constant, breakdown voltage, fixed surface charge densify (Qss/q) and mobile charge density (Q /q). From these measurements, it is concluded that the quality of the oxide layer is sufficient to expect the normal operation of MOS transistors.

Let C(Q) denote Yeh-Wiener space, the space of all real-valued continuous functions x(s, t) on Q ≡ [0, S] × [0, T] with x(s, 0) = x(0, t) = 0 for every (s, t) ∈ Q. For each partition τ = τ_m,n = {(s_i, t_j)|i = 1, . . . , m, j = 1, . . . , n} of Q with 0 = s₀ < s₁ < . . . < s_m = S and 0 = t₀ < t₁ < . . . < t_n = T, define a random vector X_τ : C(Q) → ℝ^mn by X_τ (x) = (x(s₁, t₁), . . . , x(s_m, t_n)). In this paper we study the conditional integral transform and the conditional convolution product for a class of cylinder type functionals defined on K(Q) with a given conditioning function X_τ above, where K(Q)is the space of all complex valued continuous functions of two variables on Q which satify x(s, 0) = x(0, t) = 0 for every (s, t) ∈ Q. In particular we derive a useful equation which allows to calculate the conditional integral transform of the conditional convolution product without ever actually calculating convolution product or conditional convolution product.

Background: Recent studies have correlated serum cystatin C (CysC) with vascular complications, but few studies have investigated this correlation in diabetes patients without nephropathy. This study aimed to evaluate if higher serum CysC levels increase the risk for vascular complications in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with normal renal function or mild renal impairment. Methods: A total of 806 consecutive patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who were admitted to the diabetes center of Soonchunhyang University Hospital for blood glucose control were retrospectively reviewed. Patients with nephropathy were excluded. Subjects were categorized into quartiles of serum CysC levels (Q1, ${\leq}0.65mg/L$; Q2, 0.66 to 0.79 mg/L; Q3, 0.80 to 0.94 mg/L; and Q4, ${\geq}0.95mg/L$). Results: The proportion of patients with diabetic retinopathy (DR) (P for trend <0.001), coronary heart disease (CHD) (P for trend <0.001), and stroke (P for trend <0.001) increased across the serum CysC quartiles. After adjustment for confounding factors, the highest serum CysC level remained a significant risk factor for DR (odds ratio [OR], 1.929; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.007 to 4.144; P=0.040). Compared with Q1, a significant positive association was observed between serum CysC and CHD in Q2 (OR, 7.321; 95% CI, 1.114 to 48.114; P=0.012), Q3 (OR, 6.027; 95% CI, 0.952 to 38.161; P=0.020), and Q4 (OR, 8.122; 95% CI, 1.258 to 52.453; P=0.007). No associations were observed between CysC and stroke after additional adjustment for confounding variables. Conclusion: Serum CysC levels are independently associated with DR and CHD, suggesting that CysC may be useful for identifying type 2 diabetes mellitus patients without nephropathy who are at high risk for vascular complications.

q-Volkenborn integrals ([8]) and fermionic invariant q-integrals ([12]) are introduced by T. Kim. By using these integrals, Euler q-zeta functions are introduced by T. Kim ([18]). Then, by using the Euler q-zeta functions, S.-H. Rim, S. J. Lee, E. J. Moon, and J. H. Jin ([25]) studied q-Genocchi zeta functions. And also Y. H. Kim, W. Kim, and C. S. Ryoo ([7]) investigated twisted q-zeta functions and their applications. In this paper, we consider the q-analogue of twisted Lerch type Euler zeta functions defined by $${\varsigma}E,q,\varepsilon(s)=[2]q \sum\limits_{n=0}^\infty\frac{(-1)^n\epsilon^nq^{sn}}{[n]_q}$$ where 0 < q < 1, $\mathfrak{R}$(s) > 1, $\varepsilon{\in}T_p$, which are compared with Euler q-zeta functions in the reference ([18]). Furthermore, we give the q-extensions of the above twisted Lerch type Euler zeta functions at negative integers which interpolate twisted q-Euler polynomials.

Recently, piezocone penetration test is frequently used in order to estimate the characteristics of soft ground with standard penetration test; generally used in the past In this study, standard penetration test, piezocone penetration test, driving resistance of vertical drain were used in order to increase the confidence for determination of soft ground depth. And the compressible layer was determined by the comparison between the preconsolidation pressure and the designed increase pressure. As the results, the relation between standard penetration test and piezocone penetration test shows $q_c$=(1.09~1.63)N at the soft ground, determined by 5/30 N value. And $q_c$(1.21~1.98)N was shown at the point of compressible layer, evaluated by the preconsolidation pressure. And driving resistance of vertical drain is 70 f/$cm^2$ which is equal to 10kgf/$cm^2$ cone penetration resistance.

Recent years have seen an increase in the incidence of candidiasis caused by non-albicans Candida (NAC) species. In fact, C. glabrata is now second only to C. albicans as the most common cause of invasive candidiasis. Therefore, the rapid genotyping specifically for C. glabrata is required for early diagnosis and treatment of candidiasis. A number of genotyping assays have been developed to differentiate C. glabrata sequence types (STs), but they have several limitations. In the previous study, multi-locus sequence typing (MLST) has performed with a total of 101 C. glabrata clinical isolates to analyze the prevalent C. glabrata STs in Korea. A total of 11 different C. glabrata STs were identified and, among them, ST-138 was the most commonly classified. Thus, a novel probe-based quantitative PCR (qPCR) assay was developed and evaluated for rapid and accurate identification of the predominant C. glabrata ST-138 in Korea. Two primer pairs and hybridization probe sets were designed for the amplification of internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) region and TRP1 gene. Analytical sensitivity of the probe-based qPCR assay was 100 ng to 10 pg and 100 ng to 100 pg (per 1 μL), which target ITS1 region and TRP1 gene, respectively. This assay did not react with any other Candida species and bacteria except C. glabrata. Of the 101 clinical isolates, 99 cases (98%) were concordant with MLST results. This novel probe-based qPCR assay proved to be rapid, sensitive, highly specific, reproducible, and cost-effective than other genotyping assay for C. glabrata ST-138 identification.

Efficient computation of r-th root in 𝔽_q has many applications in computational number theory and many other related areas. We present a new r-th root formula which generalizes Müller's result on square root, and which provides a possible improvement of the Cipolla-Lehmer type algorithms for general case. More precisely, for given r-th power c ∈ 𝔽_q, we show that there exists α ∈ 𝔽_q^r such that $$Tr{\left(\begin{array}{cccc}{{\alpha}^{{\frac{({\sum}_{i=0}^{r-1}\;q^i)-r}{r^2}}}\atop{\text{ }}}\end{array}\right)}^r=c,$$ where $Tr({\alpha})={\alpha}+{\alpha}^q+{\alpha}^{q^2}+{\cdots}+{\alpha}^{q^{r-1}}$ and α is a root of certain irreducible polynomial of degree r over 𝔽_q.
