Polygraph examination, statement validity analysis and P300-based concealed information test are major three examination tools, which are use to determine a person's truthfulness and credibility in criminal procedure. Although polygraph examination is most common in criminal procedure, but it has little admissibility of evidence due to the weakness of scientific basis. In 1990s to support the weakness of scientific basis about polygraph, Farwell and Donchin proposed the P300-based concealed information test technique. The P300-based concealed information test has two strong points. First, the P300-based concealed information test is easy to conduct with polygraph. Second, the P300-based concealed information test has plentiful scientific basis. Nevertheless, the utilization of P300-based concealed information test is infrequent, because of the quantity of probe stimulus. The probe stimulus contains closed information that is relevant to the crime or other investigated situation. In tradition P300-based concealed information test protocol, three or more probe stimuli are necessarily needed. But it is hard to acquire three or more probe stimuli, because most of the crime relevant information is opened in investigative situation. In addition, P300-based concealed information test uses oddball paradigm, and oddball paradigm makes imbalance between the number of probe and irrelevant stimulus. Thus, there is a possibility that the unbalanced number of probe and irrelevant stimulus caused systematic underestimation of P300 amplitude of irrelevant stimuli. To overcome the these two limitation of P300-based concealed information test, one-probe P300-based concealed information test protocol is explored with various machine learning algorithms. According to this study, parameters of the modified one-probe protocol are as follows. In the condition of female and male face stimuli, the duration of stimuli are encouraged 400ms, the repetition of stimuli are encouraged 60 times, the analysis method of P300 amplitude is encouraged peak to peak method, the cut-off of guilty condition is encouraged 90% and the cut-off of innocent condition is encouraged 30%. In the condition of two-syllable word stimulus, the duration of stimulus is encouraged 300ms, the repetition of stimulus is encouraged 60 times, the analysis method of P300 amplitude is encouraged peak to peak method, the cut-off of guilty condition is encouraged 90% and the cut-off of innocent condition is encouraged 30%. It was also conformed that the logistic regression (LR), linear discriminant analysis (LDA), K Neighbors (KNN) algorithms were probable methods for analysis of P300 amplitude. The one-probe P300-based concealed information test with machine learning protocol is helpful to increase utilization of P300-based concealed information test, and supports to determine a person's truthfulness and credibility with the polygraph examination in criminal procedure.

Excessive phosphorus (P as orthophosphate) is one of the major pollutants in natural water that are responsible for algal blooms and eutrophication. P removal by slag is an attractive solution if the P sorption capacity of the slag is significant. To design an efficient land treatment facility, basic information on the behaviour of P in the media-water environment is required. In this study, detailed column experiments were conducted to study the P transport under dynamic condition, and mathematical models were developed to describe this process. The column experiments conducted with dust and cake waste products (slag) from BHP steel industry in Australia as adsorbing media indicated that they had higher sorption capacity of P than that of a sandy loam soil from North Sydney, Australia. P transport in the dust and cake columns exhibited characteristics S-shaped or curvilinear breakthrough curves. The simulated results from a dynamic physical non-equilibrium sorption model (DPNSM) and Freundlich isotherm constants satisfactorily matched the corresponding experimental breakthrough data. The mobility of P is restricted proportionally to the adsorbent's sorption capacity.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the combined effects of ginkgo biloba extract, ginkgolide A and B and aspirin on SK-N-MC, human neuroblastoma cell viability and mRNA expression of growth associated protein43 (GAP43), Microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2), B-cell lymphoma2 (Bcl2) and protein53 (p53) gene in hypoxia and reperfusion condition. Methods: SK-N-MC cells were cultured with Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium (DMEM) media in $37^{\circ}C$, 5% $CO_2$ incubator. The cells were cultured for 8 hours in non-glucose media and hypoxic condition and for 12 hours in normal media and $O_2$ concentration. Cell survival rate was measured with Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) reagent assay. Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to estimate mRNA levels of GAP43, MAP2, Bcl2, and p53 genes. Results: The ginkgolide A and B increased viable cell number decreased in hypoxic and reperfused condition. The co-treatment of ginkgolide B with aspirin also increased the number of viable cells, however, there was no additive effect. Although there was no increase of mRNA expression of GAP43, MAP2, and Bcl2 in SK-N-MC cells with individual treatment of ginkgolide A, B or aspirin in hypoxic and reperfused condition, the co-treatment of ginkgolide A or B with aspirin significantly increased GAP43 and Bcl2 mRNA levels. In MAP2, only the co-treatment of ginkgolide A and aspirin showed increasing effect. The mRNA expression of p53 had no change in all treating conditions. Conclusion: This study suggests that the combined treatments of Ginkgo biloba extracts and aspirin increase the regeneration of neuroblastoma cells injured by hypoxia and reperfusion.

To improve the physical properties and the dyeing properties of silk, the silk fabric was treated with urea resin and reactive dyeing. The effects of urea resin concentration, pH of padding bath and curing condition were investigated in order to find optimum condition and the following results are obtained The optimum condition for the crease recovery of silk fabric was urea resin concentration of 80 g/ι, pH of 7, the curings temperature of about 135$^{\circ}C$, and the curing time of 3 minutes. The crease recovery and the thermal insulation ratio of silk fabric were increased by the above treatment. K/S increased as the adding amount of Na$_2$SO$_4$ increased, K/S, however was not affected by the adding amount of Na$_2$CO$_3$. Co1or fastness of the dyed fabrics treated with urea resin were improved slightly compared with untreated ones.

Inspired by Hongjie Dong and Qi S. Zhang's article [3], we find that the analyticity in time for a smooth solution of the heat equation with exponential quadratic growth in the space variable can be extended to any complete noncompact Riemannian manifolds with Bakry-Émery Ricci curvature bounded below and the potential function being of at most quadratic growth. Therefore, our result holds on all gradient Ricci solitons. As a corollary, we give a necessary and sufficient condition on the solvability of the backward heat equation in a class of functions with the similar growth condition. In addition, we also consider the solution in certain L^p spaces with p ∈ [2, +∞) and prove its analyticity with respect to time.

Protein function of ovotransferrin with various pH and temperature, and its antimicrobial characteristics were determined. Foaming ability of ovotransferrin was high in alkali condition (pH 11), then diminished as time follows. In acidic condition (pH 3.0), very little amount of foam was produced and disappeared promptly in 30min. However, neutral condition (pH 7.0) was revealed as the best area for foam production and foam stability of ovotransferrin. Temperature effect on foam stability of ovotransferrin showed that the highest foam was produced at 60℃. Ovotransferrin was shown weak antimicrobial activity against E. Coli, S .typhi, P. aerug and Candida albicans at dose of 12.5mg/ml and 25mg/ml. Anti-microbial effect of ovotransferrin with either lysozyme or albumine on pathogenic bacteria and fungi shows that the most effective dose was 25mg/ml, especially on S. typhi and C. albicans.

In [4], J. Leray introduced the notion of partial hyperbolicity to characterize the operators for which the non-characteristic Cauchy problem is solvable in the Geverey class for any data which are holomorphic in a part of variables x"=(x$_{2}$,..,x$_{l}$ ) in the initial hyperplane x$_{1}$=0. A linear partial differential operator is called partially hyperbolic modulo the linear subvarieties S:x"=constant if the equation P$_{m}$(x, .zeta.$_{1}$, .xi.')=0 for .zeta.$_{1}$ has only real roots when .xi.'is real and .xi."=0, where P$_{m}$ is the principal symbol of pp. Limiting to the case of operators with constant coefficients, A. Kaneko proposed a new sharper condition when S is a hyperplane [3]. In this paper, we generalize this condition to the case of general linear subvariety S and show that it is sufficient for the solvability of Cauchy problem for the hyperfunction Cauchy data which contains variables parallel to S as holomorphic parameters.blem for the hyperfunction Cauchy data which contains variables parallel to S as holomorphic parameters.

Humans may lose considerable amounts of water and electrolytes from sweat during exercise in a hot climate. Optimal ingestion of fluid-replacement beverages may overcome an obstacle factor of exercise performance in the heat. This study was performed the comparison of heart rate and blood lactate between ingestion of Prunus mume solution and water solution during graded maximal exercise using bicycle ergometer in the heat(ambient temperature of 31-32$^{\circ}C$ and relative humidity of 50-55%). Ten healthy no-heat-acclimatized males participated in the study. Exercise duration until all-out of graded testing in the condition of Prunus mume solution ingestion(786.15$\pm$47.66s) was significantly higher(P＜0.05) than the condition of water ingestion. Heart rate at 4 min during graded testing and recovery phase in the condition of Prunus mume solution ingestion was significantly lower(P＜0.05) than the condition of water ingestion. Blood lactate concentration at 30min of recovery phase after graded maximal exercise in the condition of Prunus mume solution ingestion was significantly lower(P＜0.05) than the condition of water ingestion. Recovery rate of blood lactate concentration at 15 min and 30 min of recovery phase after grated maximal exercise in the condition of Prunus mume solution ingestion was significantly lower(P＜0.05) than the condition of water ingestion. Present results suggested that ingestion of Prunus mume solution showed the positive effects on the cardiorespiratory function and acid-base regulation as compared with ingestion of water during graded maximal exercise and recovery phase in hot environment.
