The contribution of electrostatic interactions to protein folding reaction was studied by using mutant ubiquitin with lysine to alanine mutation at residue position 29. Based on the three dimensional structure of ubiquitin, lysine 29 is located close to negatively charged glutamate 16 and aspartate 21 and considered to stabilize the native state of ubiquitin by electrostatic interactions between these residues. The equilibrium unfolding experiment showed that the native stability was decreased by about ~20% upon mutation. This observation indicates lysine 29 indeed forms electrostatic interactions with nearby residues. Folding kinetics measurements using stopped-flow device and quantitative analysis of kinetics data indicate that ubiquitin folds from unfolded state to native state via intermediate state as observed previously. This intermediate state was observed to form immediately after the initiation of folding reaction. The folding intermediate was shown to be destabilized considerably upon lysine to alanine mutation. These observations indicate that electrostatic interactions can form early stage of protein folding and hence lead the folding reaction.

Regarding countless network disorders or invasions happening nowadays from 2014 until 2015, illegal access intended to attack through the communication line provided by ISP (Internet Service Provider) appears to be the source of the problem. As a defensive way to prevent such network-based attacks, not only stabilization structures for network communication but various policies as well as physical security devices and solutions corresponding to those have been realized and established. Therefore, now is the time to gain foundational research data to secure network security sections by producing logical area on communication bandwidth or such, suggest tasks to expand the communication line which is another research topic in the network security market, and recognize the fact that the active communication bandwidth linkage paradigm using network communication bandwidth is needed as one of the areas that can realize physical security. Additionally, it is necessary to limit the data in the forms of organizing visible security structures into a certain range of physical information by re-dividing communication capacity being currently provided by telecommunicators into subdivided organizational areas and applying the logical virtualization of communication capacity in each of the areas divided. By proposing a network security section based on a logical field application in place of the existing physical structure, basic data that designs a stable physical network communication structure will be provided.

Sum frequency generation was utilized to obtain a yellow laser with the wavelength of 578.4 nm for a probe laser of an Yb lattice clock. The output of an Nd:YAG laser with wavelength of 1319 nm and that of an Yb-fiber laser with wavelength of 1030 nm were passed through a waveguided periodically-poled lithium niobate (WG-PPLN) for sum frequency generation. It is required that the probe laser has a linewidth of the order of 1 Hz to fully resolve the Yb lattice clock transition. Thus, the linewidth of the probe laser was reduced by stabilizing the frequency to a super-cavity. This was made of ULE with a low thermal expansion coefficient, and was mounted on an active vibration-isolation table at the optimal point for the reduced sensitivity to vibration. Also, this was installed in a vacuum chamber, and the temperature was stabilized to 1 mK level. This system was installed in an acoustic enclosure to block acoustic noise. The finesse of the super-cavity was measured to be 380 000 from the photon life time of the cavity.

This paper presents a noble optical access system using shared laser and LED light sources, which is based on WDM-PON technologies. This system adopts an external modulation of the shared laser sources for high-speed downstream and a direct modulation of the LED sources for low-speed upstream. To split or combine the transmission channels, AWG(Arrayed Wave-guide Grating) devices are used in the optical cable section. The proposed system is attractive for low cost implementation. The laser light sources can share the optical carriers in the downstream scheme. Also, in upstream, the LED sources can afford to make simple of the circuits for controlling light source and of standardization for ONU(Optical Network Unit). The feasibility of the proposed system is demonstrated by several experiments. Our results show that the system operates well at 2.SGbps for downstream and up to 622.08Mbps for upstream.

A modified VIStA (Vortex Inertial Staged Air) burner has been developed and applied to a once-through type boiler. The secondary air is supplied through a swirler instead of nozzles, which stabilizes the flame and reduces carbon monoxide (CO) emissions. However, the modification increases the emission of nitrogen oxides (NOx). To balance emissions of the two pollutants, a divided flame was adopted. An air damper was installed to control the distribution of air to each combustion chamber, and three types of flame dividers were studied. The effects of the air-fuel ratio and combustion load on the NOx formation were investigated. The divided flame was found to reduce the NOx emission up to 25%, while keeping the CO to less than 10 ppm.

Severe tooth wear may lead to pathological changes of pulp, imbalance in occlusion as well as functional and esthetic problems. In this case, 34-year-old male came to the hospital because of generally worn dentition due to attrition and erosion. After evaluation, a full mouth restoration with elevation of the vertical dimension of occlusion was planned. After occlusion was stabilized by an occlusal stabilization appliance, centric relation position was recorded and subsequent provisional restorations were fabricated. After evaluation, a CAD-CAM (computer aided design-computer aided manufacturing) prosthetic restoration was carried out using monolithic zirconia. After 12 months of follow up observation, the patient was satisfied with function and esthetic appearance.

Recently the pelionnance of CO2 arc welding machine has been advanced significantly through the adoption of i invelter circuit topology. which made it possible to improve welding perfonnances such as spatter generation and bead s state. But the conventional inverter arc welding machine generates constant output voltage which cause much spatter g generation dUling short-circuit and arc start time because it is unable to control output current instantaneously. So this p paper representes wavefCnm controlled inverter arc welding machine which control the wavefonn of welding current and t thus to suppress the spatter generation. And the system designed in this paper is the digital controller using single chip m microprocessor of 80C196KC. As a result of perfonnance test for this system, the spatter generation is reduced and s shOlt-circuit time period is stabilized compared to conventional one. And more by using switched mode rectifier for A AC/DC power convelter. unity power factor is maintained and low order halmonic spectrum is supressed.

We have implemented a fast pressure control system for the transport chamber of a high vacuum cluster tool for advance semiconductor fabrication and evaluated its performance. To overcome the typically slow response of mass flow controllers, the modified experimental method is used very effectively to optimize the pressure control procedure. We successfully obtained quite fast pressure control by adjusting the starting time and eht tuning constants by the Ziegler-Nichols method. In the transport pressure $10\times 10^{-5}$ torr, actual pressure control starts from 4 sec after an initial gas load of 2.1 sccm. As a result, optimum conditions for the tuning constants are the rise rate of 0.02 torr/sec, the lag time of 0.15 sec, and the sampling period of 0.5 sec. Then the settling time is about 9 sec within about $\pm$0.5% for the referenced value. This settling time is enhanced above 75 percents in comparison with conventional experimental method. To account for the experimental effects observed, a theoretical model was developed. This experimental result has a tendency to fit with the theoretical result of $\omega$=-1.0.

Rapid advance in information technology requires high performance devices with compact size. Integrated multi-layer electronic element with different functions enables those compact devices to possess various performances and powerful capabilities. In mass production, the multi-layer electronic element is manufactured as a bulk type with a large number of parts for productivity. However, this may cause the electronic part to be damaged in the cutting process of the bulk elements to separate into each part. Therefore the cutting performance of multi-layer element bulk is playing an important role in the view of production efficiency. This study focuses on the cutting characteristics of multi-layer electronic elements. In order to increase the efficiency, the vibration cutting method was applied to the blade cutting machine. Flexure hinge structure, which is an physical amplifier of increasing displacement, was attached to the vibration cutting device for machining efficiency. The behaviors of flexure hinge were modeled with Lagrange equation and simulated with finite element method (FEM). Performance of hinge structure was verified by experimental modal analysis (EMA) for hinge structure to be tuned to the specific mode of vibrations. Cutting experiments of multi-layer elements were conducted with the proposed vibrating cutting module, and the characteristics was analyzed.
