영지(靈芝(Ganoderma lucidum(Fr.) Karst)) 추출물이 효모(Saccharomyces cerevisiae)의 증식과 생리에 미치는 영향을 검토하기 위하여 재배별 영지추출물을 각각 0, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0% 첨가한 Hayduck 액 배지에 효모를 접종하여 5일간 $30^{\circ}C$에서 발효시키면서 $CO_2$ 발생량, 균체생산, alcohol 발효 등을 조사하였다. 발효과정중 효모의 $CO_2$ 발생량은 발효 120시간 경과후 영지추출물 첨가구에서 모두 대조구보다 증가하였으며 이들 중 병재배 영지추출물 1.0% 첨가구에서 $CO_2$발생량이 가장 많았다. 발효과정중 효모의 세포수는 영지추출물 첨가구의 경우 모두 대조구보다 증가하였으며 병재배 영지추출물 첨가구가 원목영지추출물 및 야생영지추출물보다 세포수가 많았다. 효모의 건조균체량은 pot 0.5%구(區)>Pot 1.0%구(區) wild 1.0%구(區)>wood 1.0%구(區)>wood 0.5%구(區)>wild 0.5% 구(區)>wild 0.1% 구(區)>Pot 0.1% 구(區)> wood 0. 1% 구(區)>대조구의 순서로 증가하였으며 병재배영지추출물 첨가구는 원목재배나 야생영지추출물 첨가구보다 많았다. 각 처리구의 alcohol 함량은 발효 72시간의 경우 영지추출물 첨가구는 모두 대조구보다 3배 이상으로 많았으나 120시간 발효 후에는 큰 차이가 없었다. 발효과정중 효모의 당소비율과 발효율은 발효초기에 영지추출물 첨가구가 대조구보다 현저히 높았으나, 그 후 시간이 경과함에 따라 비슷하게 나타났다.

The electrochemical performance of positive pole grids of lead-acid batteries made of Pb-0.08%Ca-1.1%Sn alloys without and with 0.1 wt% of each of Cu, As or Sb and with 0.1 wt% of Cu, As and Sb combined was investigated by electrochemical methods in 4.0 M $H_2SO_4$. The corrodibility of alloys under open-circuit conditions and constant current charging of the positive pole, the positive pole gassing and the self-discharge of the charged positive pole were studied. All impurities (Cu, As, Sb) were found to decrease the corrosion resistance, $R_{corr}$ after 1/2 hour corrosion, but after 24 hours an improvement in $R_{corr}$ was recorded for Sb containing alloy and the alloy with the three impurities combined. While an individual impurity was found to enhance oxygen evolution reaction, the impurities combined significantly inhibition this reaction and the related water loss problem was improved. Impedance results were found helpful in identification of the species involved in the charging/discharging and the self-discharge of the positive pole. Impurities individually or combined were found to increase the self-discharge during polarization (33-68%), where Sb containing alloy was the worst and impurities combined alloy was the least. The corrosion of the positive pole grid in the constant current charging was found to increase in the presence of impurities by 5-10%. Under open-circuit, the self-discharge of the charged positive grids was found to increase significantly (92-212%) in the presence of impurities, with Sb-containing alloy was the worst. The important result of the study is that the harmful effect of the studied impurities combined was not additive but sometimes lesser than any individual impurity.

Background: Nuclear reactors produce a great number of antielectron neutrinos mainly from beta-decay chains of fission products. Such neutrinos have energies mostly in MeV range. We are interested in neutrinos in a region of keV, since they may take part in special weak interactions. We calculate reactor antineutrino spectra especially in the low energy region. In this work we present neutrino spectrum from a typical pressurized water reactor (PWR) reactor core. Materials and Methods: To calculate neutrino spectra, we need information about all generated nuclides that emit neutrinos. They are mainly fission fragments, reaction products and trans-uranium nuclides that undergo negative beta decay. Information in relation to trans-uranium nuclide compositions and its evolution in time (burn-up process) were provided by a reactor code MVP-BURN. We used typical PWR parameter input for MVP-BURN code and assumed the reactor to be operated continuously for 1 year (12 months) in a steady thermal power (3.4 GWth). The PWR has three fuel compositions of 2.0, 3.5 and 4.1 wt% $^{235}U$ contents. For preliminary calculation we adopted a standard burn-up chain model provided by MVP-BURN. The chain model treated 21 heavy nuclides and 50 fission products. The MVB-BURN code utilized JENDL 3.3 as nuclear data library. Results and Discussion: We confirm that the antielectron neutrino flux in the low energy region increases with burn-up of nuclear fuel. The antielectron-neutrino spectrum in low energy region is influenced by beta emitter nuclides with low Q value in beta decay (e.g. $^{241}Pu$) which is influenced by burp-up level: Low energy antielectron-neutrino spectra or emission rates increase when beta emitters with low Q value in beta decay accumulate Conclusion: Our result shows the flux of low energy reactor neutrinos increases with burn-up of nuclear fuel.

기체크로마토그래프에 직접 연결한 펄스 반응장치를 이용하여 10wt% $Ag/{\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ 촉매상에서 에틸렌 부분산화반응을 수행하였다. 산소가 분자흡착상태로 존재하기 어려운 실험온도에서 산소를 주입한 후 에틸렌을 주입하였을 때 산화에틸렌이 발생하였으며, 이 결과로부터 원자상태의 흡착산소가 산화에틸렌 생성에 관여함을 알 수 있었다. 흡착산소량과 몸체산소량을 감소시키면 산화에틸렌의 선택도는 감소하였다. 생성된 산화에틸렌은 에틸렌과 흡착산소로 분해되거나 아세트알데히드로 이성질화되었으나, 아세트알데히드로의 이성질화반응은 먼저 흡착된 산소에 의해서 크게 억제되었다.

The common-envelope process is a complicated phase in binary evolution. A lot of effort has been dedicated to study the common-envelope stage, but many questions related to this process are yet to be answered. If one member of the binary survives the common-envelope phase, the binary will emerge as a white dwarf accompanied by a low-mass main sequence star in close orbit, often referred as a post common-envelope binary (PCEB). SDSS J0745+2631 is among the list of newly found PCEBs from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). This star is proposed to be a strong eclipsing system candidate due to the ellipsoidal modulation in its light curve. In this work, we aim to confirm the eclipsing nature of SDSS J0745+2631 and to determine the stellar and orbital parameters using the software Binary Maker 3.0 (BM3.0). We detected the primary eclipse in the light curve of SDSS J0745+2631 in our follow-up observation from January 2014 using the ULTRASPEC instrument at the Thai National Observatory. The data obtained on 7th and 8th January 2014 in g filter show an evident drop in brightness during the eclipse of the white dwarf, but this eclipse is less prominent in the data taken on the next night using a clear filter. According to our preliminary model, we find that SDSS J0745+2631 hosts a rather hot white dwarf with an effective temperature of 11500K. The companion star is a red dwarf star with a temperature of 3800K and radius of 0.3100 $R_{\odot}$. The red dwarf star almost fills its Roche lobe, causing a large ellipsoidal modulation. The mass ratio of the binary given by the Binary Maker 3.0 (BM3.0) model is M2/M1 = 0.33.

Background: Understanding the geographical distribution of a species is a key component of studying its ecology, evolution, and conservation. Although Schlegel's Japanese gecko (Gekko japonicus) is widely distributed in Northeast Asia, its distribution has not been studied in detail. We predicted the present and future distribution of G. japonicus across China, Japan, and Korea based on 19 climatic and 5 environmental variables using the maximum entropy (MaxEnt) species distribution model. Results: Present time major suitable habitats for G. japonicus, having greater than 0.55 probability of presence (threshold based on the average predicted probability of the presence records), are located at coastal and inland cities of China; western, southern, and northern coasts of Kyushu and Honshu in Japan; and southern coastal cities of Korea. Japan contained 69.3% of the suitable habitats, followed by China (27.1%) and Korea (4.2%). Temperature seasonality (66.5% of permutation importance) was the most important predictor of the distribution. Future distributions according to two climate change scenarios predicted that by 2070, and overall suitable habitats would decrease compared to the present habitats by 18.4% (scenario RCP 4.5) and 10.4% (scenario RCP 8.5). In contrast to these overall trends, range expansions are expected in inland areas of China and southern parts of Korea. Conclusions: Suitable habitats predicted for G. japonicus are currently located in coastal cities of Japan, China, and Korea, as well as in isolated patches of inland China. Due to climate change, suitable habitats are expected to shrink along coastlines, particularly at the coastal-edge of climate change zones. Overall, our results provide essential distribution range information for future ecological studies of G. japonicus across its distribution range.

Background: Whether ambient exposure to environmental pollutants leads to hematopoietic malignancies such as multiple myeloma (MM) remains to be ascertained. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the immunotyping distribution of serum monoclonal paraprotein and the environmental influence on MM and monoclonal gammopathy of uncertain significance (MGUS) in the Taiwanese population. Materials and Methods: Serum protein electrophoresis with immunosubtraction by the capillary zone electrophoresis method was performed as primary screening for MM and MGUS. Clinical, pathological, and residence data of patients were also obtained. Results: From August, 2013 to June, 2015, a total of 327 patients underwent serum protein electrophoresis with immunosubtraction. Among these, 281 demonstrated no remarkable findings or non-malignant oligoclonal gammopathy, 23 were detected to have MGUS, 18 were identified as MM, and a further 5 were found as other malignancies. The most frequent immunotyping distribution of serum monoclonal paraprotein was IgG kappa (54.3%, n=25), followed by IgA lambda (15.2%, n=7) and IgG lambda (10.9%, n=5) in subjects with gammopathy. Additionally, it was shown that the elderly (OR: 4.61, 95% CI: 1.88-11.30, P<0.01) and males (OR: 2.04, 95% CI: 1.04-4.02, P=0.04) had significantly higher risk of developing MM and MGUS. There was no obvious impact of environmental factors on the health risk of MM and MGUS evolution (OR: 0.77, 95% CI: 0.40-1.50, P=0.49). Conclusions: The most frequent immunotyping distribution of serum monoclonal paraprotein included IgG kappa, IgA lambda and IgG lambda in MM and MGUS in the Taiwanese population. The elderly and male subjects are at significantly higher risk of MM and MGUS development, but there was no obvious impact of environmental factors on risk.

일반적으로 약주 생산 공정에서 고정화 담체를 이용하는 연속식 반응기에서는 회분식 반응기와 비교하여 생성되는 알코을 생성량 못지않게 연속식 반응기에서 연속적으로 생성되고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 고정화 담체를 이용한 연속식 반응기는 약주의 품질에 긍정적인 효과를 보이는 것으로 나타났으며 담금 공정에서의 처리효과를 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 회분식 배양에서 에탄올의 생성량은 1차 담금 1일 째부터 12%이상 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며 연속배양은 2차 담금에 효모를 주입하지 않아도 회분식 배양에서와 같은 알코올 도수를 가지면서 지속적으로 얻어졌다. 또한 pH는 4.4에서 3.8로 감소하는 패턴을 나타냈으며 산소농도는 1 ppm정도 차이가 나타났으나 이는 연속적으로 기질이 반응기로 주입되기 때문에 증가된 것이다. 2) 폴리플로필렌에 폴리스티렌을 샌드위치식으로 접합한 고정화 미생물담체는 연속배양에서 효모 주입 없이도 회분식 배양과 비교해보았을 경우에 당화과정과 알코올 생성과정 등이 서로 상반되는 패턴을 갖으면서 생물학적인 반응이 정상적으로 진행됨을 증명하였다. 3) 연속배양의 실험결론을 토대로 1차 담금에서 당의 생성기질을 이용하였을 경우, 10톤/일 생산하는 약주생산 공장은 1년간 효모 투입비용을 환산해 본 결과 1억원 이상의 투입비용이 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.

To infer phylogenetic relationships among Epinephelus species inhabiting coastal regions of Korean peninsula, mitochondrial cytochrome b genes from 9 species belonging to the subfamily Epinephelinae were PCR-amplified, cloned and sequenced. Aligned cytochrome b sequences of 10 species containing one additional sequence from GenBank were 1,140 base pairs in length, including 439 variable and 330 parsimony informative sites. The cytochrome b genes of 10 species, as other vertebrates studied to date, exhibit unequal base compositions: an entirely low G content ($15.2{\pm}0.3{\%}$on average) and almost equal T, C and A contents ($29.3{\pm}0.8{\%},\;30.7{\pm}1.0{\%},\;and\;24.8{\pm}0.5{\%}$ on average, respectively).In third codon positions, transitional substitutions especially between Epinephelus species and outgroup species are almost certainly saturated or near saturation. Phylogenetic analyses were performed with sequence data from 8 Epinephelus species and 2 outgroup species (Cephalopholis urodela and Vaviola louti) by using distance-based (neighbor-joining and minimum evolution) and parsimony-based (maximum parsimony) methods. The results showed that the monophyly of the genus Epinephelus was supported by relatively high bootstrap values. However, phylogenetic relationships among E. areolatus, E. moara, E. septemfasciatus, and Epinephelus sp were poorly resolved. Within the genus Epinephelus, three resolved monophyletic groups were found: clade 1 included E. akaara and E. awoara;, clade 2 included E. fasciatus and E. merra; and clade 3 included E. akaara, E. awoara, E. fasciatus, E. merra, E. areolatus, E. moara, E. septemfasciatus and Epinephelus Sp.
