Bovine angiogenin (bAng) is a potent blood vessel inducing protein purified from cow In ilk. fluorescence spectroscopy has been used to study the interaction of bAng with actin in 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, and 1 mM $CaCl_2$ at $25^{\circ}C$. Actin contains four tryptophans but bAng contains no tryptophans. A 50% decrease in intrinsic fluorescence accompanied formation of the bAng/actin complex. By contrast, the interaction of RNase A, a homologous protein to bAng, with actin results in about 10% quenching of the fluorescence. Fluorescence titration experiments were performed by adding increasing concentrations of bAng (0~1.0 ${\mu}M$) to a constant concentration of actin (0.1 ${\mu}M$), and the dissociation constant $K_d$ for the bAng/actin complex and the stoichiometry n were measured as $20{\pm}1$ nM and $1.0{\pm}0.1$ respectively. These results suggest that the interaction between bAng with actin is specific and that quenching of actin fluorescence has occurred in the bAng/actin complex. The bAng binding sites of actin are discussed in the results of this study, and we propose that Trp-80 in the small domain of bovine actin is responsible for the bAng/actin binding.

M$_{n}$(F) denotes the set of all n*n matrices over F={0, 1}. For a, b.mem.F, define a+b=max{a, b} and ab=min{a, b}. Under these operations a+b and ab, M$_{n}$(F) forms a multiplicative semigroup (see [1], [4]) and we call it the semigroup of the n*n boolean matrices over F={0, 1}. Since the semigroup M$_{n}$(F) is the matrix representation of the semigroup B$_{n}$ of the binary relations on the set X with n elements, we may identify M$_{n}$(F) with B$_{n}$ for finding all D-classes.l D-classes.

This paper describes a 2.5V 80dB 360MHz CMOS VGA. A new variable degeneration resistor is proposed where the dc voltage drop over the degeneration resistor is minimized and employed in designing a low-voltage and high-speed CMOS VGA. HSPICE simulation results using a 0.25${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ CMOS process parameters show that the designed VGA provides a 3dB bandwidth of 360MHz and a 80dB gain control range in 2dB step. Gain errors are less than 0.4dB at 200MHz and less than 1.4dB at 300MHz. The designed circuit consumes 10.8mA from a 2.5V supply and its die area is 1190${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$$\times$360${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$.

Xylitol, a five-carbon natural sugar alcohol, is widely used non-cariogenic sugar substitute. In present study, the effects of xylitol on the expression of mRNA for glucosyltransferase which synthesizes glucan from sucrose were detected by Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) and flow cytometry. FITC fluorescences for mRNA of gtfB, gtfC and gtfD were decreased further with increasing concentration of xylitol from 1% to 10% when detected by FISH. Flow cytometric analysis also showed that the expression of gtfB, gtfC and gtfD was increased by the addition of sucrose and decreased by the addition of xylitol to BHI broth containing 1% sucrose. In conclusion, the expression of gtfB, gtfC and gtfD mRNA was decreased by the addition of xylitol.

The 1${\times}$2, 1${\times}$4 and 1${\times}$8 multimode interference(MMI) optical power splitters are fabricated by using $Ag^+-Na^+$ ion exchange on BK7 glass. Before fabricating the MMI optical power splitters, we find the refractive index of the channel waveguide and calculate the multimode section length and width. The multimode section lengths and widths are 887${\mu}m$, 1666${\mu}m$ and 1834${\mu}m$ and 40${\mu}m$, 80${\mu}m$ and 120${\mu}m$ for 1${\times}$2, 1${\times}$4 and 1${\times}$8 MMI optical power splitters respectively. The measured properties of the fabricated MMI optical power splitters show that the unbalance ratios of the 1${\times}$2, 1${\times}$4 and 1${\times}$8 MMI optical power splitters are 1.4[dB], 1.7[dB] and 2.0[dB] and the excess losses of those sre 0.96[dB], 2.26[dB] and 1.67[dB]. respectively.

Sixteen strains of marine rotifer, Braohionus plicatilis were isolated from salt pond, estuary and lagoon. Among 16 strains, 2 strains were large (L)-type and the others were small (S) or ultra small (US)-type. Four strains of fresh water rotifer, B. calyciflorus were isolated from commercial fish ponds. The size of lorica and resting egg were measured. In B. plicatilis, the range of lorica length from S-type and S-type were $244.3{\~}255.3\;{\mu}m$ and $131.0{\~}165.8\;{\mu}m$, respectively. The major axis of resting egg in the marine rotifer were $93.7\~116.4\;{\mu}m$ for S-type and $142.4{\~}145.5\;{mu}m$ for L-type, respectively. In freshwater rotifer, B. calyciflorus, the size range of lorica and major axis of resting egg were $211.8\~229.9\;{\mu}m$ and $126.8\~140.2\;{mu}m$, respectively. The size of freshwater rotifer was larger than that of S-type marine rotifer, but smaller than that of L-type one. Growth and formation of resting egg of B. plicatilis were different among the strains. The maximum density of S-type and L-type rotifer was 753.3 inds./ml for H-S strain and 220 inds./ml for O-L strain, respectively. The largest production of resting egg of S-type and L-type rotifer were 86.7 inds./ml for YY-S strain and 45.8 inds./ml for O-L strain, respectively.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of vitamin {TEX}$B_{6}${/TEX} deficiency on the utilization and recuperation of stored fuel in exercising rats. Thirty six rats were fed either a vitamin {TEX}$B_{6}${/TEX} deficient diet(-{TEX}$B_{6}${/TEX}) or a control diet(+{TEX}$B_{6}${/TEX}) for 5 weeks, then subdivided into 3 group: non-exercise group(NE), exercise group(EX), exercise and recuperation group(EX). EX group were exercised in treadmill({TEX}$10^{o}${/TEX}, 0.5~0.8km/h)for 2 hours and ER group were recuperated three days with the respective diet after exercise. Glucose(GLU), glycogen(GLY), protein(PRO), trigyceride(TG) and free fatty acid(FFA) were compared in plasma(P), liver(L) and skeletal muscle(M) of rats. Compared to +{TEX}$B_{6}${/TEX} rats, in NE group, the level of L-GLY of -{TEX}$B_{6}${/TEX} rats was higher, M-TG, L-PRO of -{TEX}$B_{6}${/TEX} rats were lower and there were no differences in P-PRO, P-FFA, P-TG, M-GLY, M-PRO and L-TG. In EX group, the levels of P-FFA, L-PRO of -{TEX}$B_{6}${/TEX} rats were higher. P-TG, L-TG of -{TEX}$B_{6}${/TEX} rats were lower and there was no difference in L-GLY. In EG group, the levels of P-GLU, P-PRO, P-RG, L-PRO of -{TEX}$B_{6}${/TEX} rats were lower and there were no differences in L-GLY, L-TG, M-TG and M-GLY. these results suggest that a lowered intake of vitamin {TEX}$B_{6}${/TEX} may impair the recuperation of aminals after exercise related to exercise fuel stores although there is a compensation among stored fuel utilization during exercise.

M$\ddot{o}$ssbauer and Raman spectrum studies have been carried out on the 2b-site Fe ion in the Ba-ferrite (M-type). The thermal dynamics of Fe ion was analyzed by M$\ddot{o}$ssbauer spectra at different angles between the $\gamma$-ray direction and c-axis. The vibration on the 2b-site was more active compare to other direction and had very strong intensity in the Raman spectrum.

This study investigated the effect of UV-B irradiation on the quality of Pleurotus ostreatus. The changes of vitamin $D_2$ contents, color value and flavor pattern in mushrooms were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), chromameter and gas chromatography - surface acoustic wave (GC-SAW) electronic nose. By exposure to UV-B irradiation (0 kj/m$^2$, 10 kj/m$^2$, 20 kj/m$^2$), vitamin $D_2$ content increased from 0 (control) to 48.50 g/g (DM: dry matter, 10 kj/m$^2$) and 61.58 g/g (DM, 20 kj/m$^2$). Although there was no significant difference in L, a, b values among the three groups, flavor changes were detected by GC-SAW electronic nose. The number of peaks increased from 10 in the control group (0 kj/m$^2$), to 14 and 15 for the 10 kj/m$^2$ and 20 kj/m$^2$ groups, respectively. Nevertheless, the changes of flavor pattern were not detrimental to the mushroom quality. These results suggested that UV-B irradiation is an effective method to increase the vitamin $D_2$ content without degrading the quality.
