  • A recombinant human growth hormone(hGH) was expressed as a secretory product in the yeast Saccharomyuces cerevisiae. There different leader sequences derived from the mating fac-tor $\alpha$1(MF$\alpha$1) inulinase and invertase were used to direct the secretion of hGH into the extracel-lular medium. Among three leader sequences tested, the inulinase leader sequence was found to be the most efficient in the secretory expression of hGH. In contrast, no hGH was detected in the ex-tracellular medium with the invertase leader sequence. After 48 h shake-flask culture, the yields of hGH secreted into th emedium by the invertase. MF$\alpha$1 inulinase and invertase leader sequences were approximately 0, 0.3 and 0.9 mg/L, respectively. The secretion efficiencies were also found to be 0, 3.8 and 13% for the invertase , MG$\alpha$1 and inulinase leader sequences, respectively.

  • The 4-H camping programs in USA have been providing various resources so that members can achieve their physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potential. The camping programs have been carried out members to participate in programs as responsible citizens in their local, national and international communities. One of the key requirements of successful youth camping was the leadership role of leaders with more conscious and systematic for preparing, equipping, and carrying out programs. This paper was intended to explore the goals of 4-H camping and leaders' role in USA, and give implications to Korean outdoor activities. To perform the 4-H camping effectively, the camping leaders need to focus on the following steps: First of all, they need to recognize the specific purposes and missions of participation in the 4-H camping. Secondly, they should make sense of the site-based teaching skills and its application in the field. Thirdly. they should set up the principles of effective camping strategies and abide by the steps in the process of activities. In addition, they should be qualified to handle the risk management skills, research and survey technology, and environment conservation efforts throughout the camping.

  • We study to confirm the relationship between leadership trust and job satisfaction on the leadership style of managers recognized by ICT organization members. To this end, the research hypothesis established by using SPSS23.0 for the survey results of 230 ICT organization members was analyzed as follows. First, the hypothesis 1 person leadership type (individual consideration: H1-1, intellectual stimulation: H1-2, charisma: H1-3, conditional compensation: H1-4, exceptional reward: H1-5) had a significant effect on leader trust. The results were obtained. Second, the hypothesis 2 manager's leadership type (individual consideration: H21-1, intellectual stimulation: H2-2, charisma: H2-3, conditional compensation: 2-4, expected compensation: H2-5) is based on job satisfaction. As a result of verifying the impact relationship, all showed significant effect on job satisfaction. Third, it acted as a positive factor in the job satisfaction of the leader of the hypothesis 3-member organizational member. It was confirmed that the job satisfaction of organizational members started based on the trust of actual leaders. Fourth, the role of leadership trust was partially confirmed between leadership type and job satisfaction. Through this study, in order to improve job satisfaction of ICT organizational members, the importance of exerting competency on the leadership type of managers and trusting the leaders on the characteristics consistent with ICT organizational characteristics was emphasized.

  • Yeast expression plasmids containing an appropriate leader sequence and bovine $\beta$-casein cDNA were constructed to produce $\beta$-casein for the study of its functional characteristics. Two kinds of expression systems for $\beta$-casein were constructed using pCGYl444 as a precursor plasmid. This plasmid is a yeast-E. coli shuttle vector which contains the chelatin promoter. The plasmid pISB202 contains the invertase leader sequence and $\beta$-casein gene. The plasmid pDEB303 contains the original bovine $\beta$-casein leader sequence gene. These two plasmids were introduced into S. cerevisiae AB116 which is a strain deficient in the major yeast proteinases. Each clone was grown in minimal media for 24 h before induction by $CuSO_4$. The cells were thus grown under expression conditions. Both strains harbouring pISB202 and pDEB303 expressed bovine $\beta$-casein. The $\beta$-casein was detected using immunochemical staining after western blot. Secretion of $\beta$-casein was detected in the culture broth. The estimated amount of secreted $\beta$-casein was approximately 50 ${\MU}g$/l.

  • The ${\beta}$-1,4-glucanase gene of Bacillus licheniformis B1 was expressed in Esherichia coli BL21, and a protein with a mass of 50 kDa that was soluble was overproduced. A protein with a mass of 37 kDa was secreted from B. licheniformis. It seems that the ${\beta}$-1,4-glucanase produced in E. coli contained the leader peptide and unprocessed carboxy-terminal region, but its processing occurred in the carboxyterminal in Bacillus. The optimal temperature of ${\beta}$-1,4-glucanase was $40^{\circ}C$. The enzyme still had 76% maximal activity at $60^{\circ}C$. The optimal pH of the enzyme was 7. The enzyme retained considerable activities over the weak-acidic, neutral, and weak-basic pH range. Acidic fungal cellulases are used in food, detergent, pulp, paper, textile industries. However, studies about neutral and alkaline cellulase are not enough. The cellulase developed in this study may be useful for industrial applications in the fields of biofuel development.

  • A functional screen of 60,672 fosmid metagenomic clones amplified from marine sediment obtained from the Dokdo islets in Korea identified the gene EstES1, whose product, EstES1, displayed lipolytic properties on tributyrin-supplemented media. EstES1 is a 576 amino acid protein with a predicted molecular weight of 59.4 kDa including 37 N-terminal leader amino acids. EstES1 exhibited the highest sequence similarity (44%) to a carboxylesterase found in Haliangium ochraceum DSM14365. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that EstES1 belongs to a currently uncharacterized family of lipases. Within the conserved domain, EstES1 retains the catalytic triad that consists of the consensus penta-peptide motif, GESAG. EstES1 demonstrated a broad substrate specificity toward the long acyl group of ethyl esters (C2-C12), and its optimal activity was recorded toward p-Nitrophenyl butyrate (C4) at pH 9.0 and $40^{\circ}C$ (specific activity of 255.4 U/mg). The enzyme remained stable in the ranges of $60-65^{\circ}C$ and pH 9.0-10.5 and in the presence of methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, and dimethyl sulfoxide. Therefore, EstES1 has potential for use in industrial applications involving high temperature, organic solvents, and/or alkaline conditions.

  • tRNA and 7SL RNA based antisense vehicles were prepared by inserting conserved anti-viral and anti-viroid domains. Anti-PVS coat protein leader sequence (ACPL) and antistructural antihairpin domain of PSTVd (AHII) were inserted in tRNA cassette; anti- zing finger domain of PVS, AHII and anti hop latent viroid ribozyme were inserted in 7SL RNA gene isolated from A. thaliana. These constructs were shown to be transcribed both, in in vitro and in in vivo conditions. However, it followed from our work that closely linked position of PoIII reference genes and PoIIII antisense genes within T-DNA lead to the impairment of RNA expression in transgenic plants. To assay in vivo transcription of antisense genes, hairy root potato cultures were established using h. tumefaciens A4-24 bearing both, Ri plasmid and PoIII-promoterless plant expression vectors with antisense RNA genes. Expression of antisense RNA in transgenic potato tissues was proven by specific RT-PCR reactions.

  • The tendency to renewables is one of the consequences of changing attitudes towards energy issues. As a result, solar energy, which is the leader among renewable energies based on availability and potential, plays a crucial role in full filing global needs. Significant problems with the solar thermal power plants (STPP) are the operation time, which is limited by daylight and is approximately half of the power plants with fossil fuels, and the capital cost. Exergy analysis survey of STPP hybrid with PCM storage carried out using Engineering Equation Solver (EES) program with genetic algorithm (GA) for three different scenarios, based on eight decision variables, which led us to decrease final product cost (electricity) in optimized scenario up to 30% compare to base case scenario from 28.99 $/kWh to 20.27 $/kWh for the case study. Also, in the optimal third scenario of this plant, the inner carbon dioxide gas cycle produces 1200 kW power with a thermal efficiency of 59% and also 1000 m3/h water with an exergy efficiency of 23.4% and 79.70 kg/h with an overall exergy efficiency of 34% is produced in the tetrageneration plant.
