The HAP complex has been found in many eukaryotic organisms. HAP recognizes the CCAAT box present in the promoters of 30% of all eukaryotic genes. The HAP complex consists of three subunits - HAP2, HAP3 and HAP5. In this paper, we report the biological function of the AtHAP3b gene that encodes one of the HAP3 subunits in Arabidopsis. Compared with wild-type plants, hap3b-1 and hap3b-2 mutants exhibited a delayed flowering time under long-day photoperiod conditions. Moreover, the transcription levels of FT were substantially lower in the mutants than in the wild-type plants. These results imply that AtHAP3b may function in the control of flowering time by regulating the expression of FT in Arabidopsis. In a subsequent study, AtHAP3b was found to be induced by osmotic stress. Under osmotic stress conditions, the hap3b- 1 and hap3b-2 mutants flowered considerably later than the wild-type plants. These results suggest that the AtHAP3b gene plays more important roles in the control of flowering under osmotic stress in Arabidopsis.

Hydroxyapatite (HAp) powders with different crystallinities were synthesized at various calcination temperatures through the co-precipitation of $Ca(OH)_2$ and $H_3PO_4$. The degradation behavior of these HAp powders with different crystallinities was assessed in a simulated body fluid solution (SBF) for 8 weeks. Below $800^{\circ}C$, the powders were nonstochiometric HAp, and the single HAp phase was successfully synthesized at $800^{\circ}C$. The degree of crystallinity of the HAp powders increased with an increasing calcination temperature and varied in a range from 39.6% to 92.5%. In the low crystallinity HAp powders, the Ca and P ion concentrations of the SBF solution increased with an increasing soaking time, which indicated that the low crystallinity HAp degraded in the SBF solution. The mass of the HAp powders linearly decreased with respect to the soaking time, and the mass loss was higher at lower crystallinities. The mass loss ranged from 0.8% to 13.2% after 8 weeks. The crystallinity of the HAp powders increased with an increasing soaking time up to 4 weeks and then decreased because of HAp degradation. The pH of the SBF solution did not change much throughout the course of these experiments. These results suggested that the crystallinity of HAp can be used to control the degradation.

Objective: We report monitoring conservation effect for a Chinese indigenous chicken (Langshan) breed using major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and DNA barcords. Methods: The full length of MHC B-G gene and mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene in generations 0, 5, 10, 15, 16, and 17 was measured using re-sequencing and sequencing procedures, respectively. Results: There were 292 single nucleotide polymorphisms of MHC B-G gene identified in six generations. Heterozygosity (He) and polymorphic information content (PIC) of MHC B-G gene in generations 10, 15, 16, and 17 remained stable. He and PIC of MHC B-G gene were different in six generations, with G10, G15, G16, G17 >G5>G0 (p<0.05). For the COI gene, there were five haplotypes in generations 0, 5, 10, 15, 16, and 17. Where Hap2 and Hap4 were the shared haplotypes, 164 individuals shared Hap2 haplotypes, while Hap1 and Hap3 were the shared haplotypes in generations 0 and 5 and Hap5 was a shared haplotype in generations 10, 15, 16, and 17. The sequence of COI gene in 6 generations was tested by Tajima's and D value, and the results were not significant, which were consistent with neutral mutation. There were no differences in generations 10, 15, 16, and 17for measured phenotypic traits. In other generations, for annual egg production, with G5, G10, G15, G16, G17>G0 (p<0.05). For age at the first egg and age at sexual maturity, with G10, G15, G16, G17>G5>G0 (p<0.05). Conclusion: Combined with the results of COI gene DNA barcodes, MHC B-G gene, and phenotypic traits we can see that genetic diversity remained stable from generations 10 to 17 and the equimultiple random matching pedigrees conservation population conservation effect of Langshan chicken was effective as measured by these criteria.

Psychrophilic phytases suitable for aquaculture are rare. In this study, a phytase of the histidine acid phosphatase (HAP) family was identified in Morchella importuna, a psychrophilic mushroom. The phytase showed 38% identity with Aspergillus niger PhyB, which was the closest hit. The M. importuna phytase was overexpressed in Pichia pastoris, purified, and characterized. The phytase had an optimum temperature at $25^{\circ}C$, which is the lowest among all the known phytases to our best knowledge. The optimum pH (6.5) is higher than most of the known HAP phytases, which is fit for the weak acidic condition in fish gut. At the optimum pH and temperature, MiPhyA showed the maximum activity level ($2,384.6{\pm}90.4{\mu}mol{\cdot}min^{-1}{\cdot}mg^{-1}$, suggesting that the enzyme possesses a higher activity level over many known phytases at low temperatures. The phytate-degrading efficacy was tested on three common feed materials (soybean meal/rapeseed meal/corn meal) and was compared with the well-known phytases of Escherichia coli and A. niger. When using the same amount of activity units, MiPhyA could yield at least $3{\times}$ more inorganic phosphate than the two reference phytases. When using the same weight of protein, MiPhyA could yield at least $5{\times}$ more inorganic phosphate than the other two. Since it could degrade phytate in feed materials efficiently under low temperature and weak acidic conditions, which are common for aquacultural application, MiPhyA might be a promising candidate as a feed additive enzyme.

In last two decades, an impressive progress has been recorded in terms of developing new materials or refining existing material composition/microstructure in order to obtain better performance in biomedical applications. The success of such efforts clearly demands better understanding of various concepts, e.g. biocompatibility, host response, cell-biomaterial interaction. In this article, we review the fundamental understanding that is required with respect to biomaterials development, as well as various materials and their properties, which are relevant in applications, such as hard tissue replacement. A major emphasize has been placed to present various design aspects, in terms of materials processing, of ceramics and polymer based biocomposites, Among the bioceramic composites, the research results obtained with Hydroxyapatite (HAp)-based biomaterials with metallic (Ti) or ceramic (Mullite) reinforcements as well as $SiO_2-MgO-Al_2O_3-K_2O-B_2O_3-F$ glass ceramics and stabilized $ZrO_2$ based bioinert ceramics are summarized. The physical as well as tribological properties of Polyethylene (PE) based hybrid biocomposites are discussed to illustrate the concept on how can the physical/wear properties be enhanced along with biocompatibility due to combined addition of bioinert and bioactive ceramic to a bioinert polymeric matrix. The tribological and corrosion properties of some important orthopedic metallic alloys based on Ti or Co-Cr-Mo are also illustrated. At the close, the future perspective on orthopedic biomaterials development and some unresolved issues are presented.

This study is a descriptive analytic research measuring nursing service quality, using SERVQUAL model, to make fundamental data and strategies for nursing service improvement. Data were collected by self-reported questionnaire from 202 patients and 142 nurses, from June 7 to 14, 1999. The reliability of instrument were adequate(Cronbach ${\alpha}=.94$). SAS program was utilized for statistical analysis of collected data. The results were as follows; 1. There was a gab between patient's expectation and perception on nursing service(Gap B). Gap D was indicated an affecting factor to decide nursing service quality. Gap C was indicated an indirect affecting factor of nursing service quality. Because it was not statistically significant in total item analysis, but in individual item analysis, 7 items were appeared statistically significant. Gap A was not a gap occurrence factor of nursing service quality. 2. Focuses of nursing service quality improvement strategies were; (1) to direct qualitative improvement of nursing service in order to correspondence patient's nursing service expectation. (2) to make nurse's service activity modified because nurse's practice were not reached patient's expectation level. (3) to need internal, external factor analysis affecting nurse's service activity. 3. Nursing service quality was decided by rather environmental inappropriateness provided nursing service than itself. Therefore, to make nursing service quality improvement, it is required to improve nursing service environment. For this, followings are required; (1) to strengthen nurse's education on lower part of nursing service satisfaction and QI activities. (2) to balance demand and supply of nursing personnel. 3) to fix computerized system for reducing other duties weight except nursing care through analysis of nursing activity. (4) to construct rational cooperating system among related departments. 4. The important parts for nursing service quality improvement were indicated as follows: (1) Gap B: 'prompt reaction', 'examination symptom before patient's complaint', 'hearted nursing service reducing patient's dissatisfaction', 'explanation goals of nursing activities', 'having special Knowledge enough', 'maintenance position comfortably', 'management of patient's physical hygiene'. (2) Gap C: 'maintenance physical safety', 'explanation about hospital rules and facilities'. (3) Gap D: 'tender, safe injection and wound care'. Because above items are mostly improved through nurse's attitude change and quality improvement, it is required to establish nursing standardization and to strengthen nurse's clinical education. As the based on above results, followings are suggested; 1. SERVQUAL model is very useful to make strategies for nursing service quality improvement because it indicates multiple factors affecting hap occurrence. 2. At individual items analysis of Gap C, statistically significant 7 items appeared higher nurse's perception level than patient's perception level on nursing service were trouble perception level on nursing service quality improvement. So. it need further research to analysis about these difference occurring factors. 3. At analysis of Gap D, it is indicated that in nursing service performance process, multiple factors lowing nursing service quality were intruded. So it needs further research to analysis what these factors are and how each factors affect on nursing performance process. 4. nursing service quality measurement is changeable according to sample select time or sampled subject's characteristics. So to develope strategy for nursing service quality improvement is based on the results of periodical analysis.

현재 경복궁에 대한 연구는 건축사 문헌사 미술사를 중심으로 이루어지고 있는데, 이와 같은 연구는 현전(現傳)하는 건물과 기록에만 의존할 수밖에 없음으로 궁궐 전체를 연구하는 데는 한계가 있다. 그러나 현재까지도 양호한 상태로 잔존해 있는 경복궁 건물지 유구, 특히'적심(積心)'은 이러한 연구의 공백을 채워줄 수 있는 중요한 고고(考古)학 자료라 할 수 있겠다. 본고에서는 이러한 경복궁의 '적심'에 대하여 분석하여, 형태 규모 재료 축조방식에 따라 그 형식을 분류하고, 이것이 건물 기초로써 상부 건물과 어떤 관계를 가지는지 알아보기 위하여 궁궐 건물 유형별 사용된 적심을 검토하고, 시기별 변천양상을 살펴보았다. 그 결과, 경복궁 건물지 적심은 총 21가지 형식으로 구분되는데, 각 건물 유형에 따라 건물의 기초 즉 적심도 달리 축조되며, 시기별로도 적심의 축조방식 및 재료 등이 변화하여, 특정 시기에 유행하는 적심의 형식이 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 경복궁 적심은 평면 형태에 따라 원형(I), 말각방형(II), 세장방형(III), 방형(IV), 통적심(V)으로 분류할 수 있으며, 다시 축조방식과 사용된 재료에 따라 21가지 형식으로 세분된다. 특히 조선전기 14~16세기에는 원형 잡석 적심(I-1), 말각방형 장대석(II-1), 말각방형 잡석+와전(II-2a) 세 가지 형식의 적심만 축조되다가, 조선후기 19세기에 들어 21가지 분류한 모든 적심이 다양하게 축조된다. 19세기 고종연간 내에서도 연대별로 각기 다른 형식의 적심을 사용하고 있는데, 특히 재료에서 두드러진 차이점이 확인된다. 경복궁을 재건한 고종 2년(1865)~고종 5년(1868)에 축조된 적심 10가지 형식 중 무려 7가지가 와전편을 섞어 넣은 형식인 반면, 고종 10년(1873)과 고종 13년(1876) 혹은 고종 25년(1888)에는 축조된 5가지 형식 중 3가지가 강회를 섞어 넣은 사질토를 사용한 형식으로 대조를 이룬다. 궁궐 건물은 '주인의 신분과 용도'에 따라 건물의 서열이 정해지고, 건물의 이름 뒤에 가장 중요하고 격이 높은 순서대로 전(殿), 당(堂), 합(閤), 각(閣), 재(齋), 헌(軒), 누(樓), 정(亭) 등의 명칭이 붙어 그 유형이 구분되며, 그 격에 맞추어 건축물이 축조된다. 이 건물 유형별 사용된 적심을 검토한 결과, 건물의 유형(전(殿), 당(堂), 합(閤), 각(閣), 재(齋), 헌(軒), 누(樓), 정(亭))에 따라 그 기초, 즉 적심도 달리 축조되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 현 자료의 한계 상'전', '당', '각', '방'등 일부 건물 유형만 확인되었는데, '전'과 '각'의 경우 장대석으로 축조한 방형 적심(IV)이, '당'과 '방'의 경우 기와와 잡석을 사용하여 축조한 말각방형 적심(II)이 많이 사용되었으며, 기타 건물명을 알 수 없는 경우는 대부분 조선전기 선대(先代) 건물지의 적심임으로, 조선전기에 원형 잡석 적심(I-1)이 많이 축조된 것을 알 수 있었다. 이를 통해 주인의 신분이 높고 격이 높은 건물일수록 건축물도 격이 높듯이, 그 기초부, 즉 적심 또한 가장 견고하고 좋은 재료를 사용하여 축조한 것으로 추정해 볼 수 있다. 또한 '당'과 '방'은 같은 말각방형 적심이 사용되었지만, '당'은 잡석과 와전편을 주재료로 사용한 II-2a(잡석+와전편 말각방형 적심)형식이, '방'은 II-2a형식의 상면에 15~20cm 가량 와전편을 깐 II-2b(와전편+(잡석+와전편 말각방형적심)) 형식이 많아 차이가 있었다. 이러한 건물 유형별 적심은 시기별로 축조되는 형식에 변화가 있는 것으로 확인되었다. '전'과 '각'의 경우 모두 14~15세기 조선전기에는 I-1형식(원형 잡석)의 적심을 축조하다가, 19세기 조선후기에는 다양한 형식의 적심이 축조되는데, 그 중에서도 특히 방형 적심(IV)이 많이 축조되었음을 알 수 있었다. '당'의 경우 조선후기의 변천양상만을 확인할 수 있었는데, 고종 4년(1867) 축조된 적심은 잡석과 와전편을 섞어 넣은 형식의 적심이 많이 축조되고, 이후 고종 13년(1876) 혹은 고종 25년(1888)에는 다른 건물 유형에서 확인되지 않는 강회사질토 및 탄축 적심이라는 독자적인 형식이 사용되었다. 본 연구를 통해 조선전기에 비해 후기에 적심의 다양한 축조방식과 재료가 개발되었음을 알 수 있었으며, 이는 당시 궁궐건물 기초 축조 기술 수준의 변화가 있었음을 대변해 준다. 또한 건물 유형별로 사용되는 적심의 형식이 다른 것이 확인되어, 건물의 기초를 축조할 때 미리 계산된 건축 공법을 적용하였음을 알 수 있었다.
