In this study, both structural and microwave dielectric properties of the $Mg_5B_4O_{15}$ (B=Ta, Nb) cation-deficient perovskite ceramics with sintering temperature were investigated. All sample of the $Mg_5B_4O_{15}$ (B=Ta, Nb) ceramics were prepared by the conventional mixed oxide method and sintered at $1400^{\circ}C{\sim}1500^{\circ}C$. The bulk density and quality factor of the $Mg_5B_4O_{15}$ (B=Ta, Nb) ceramics were increased with increasing sinterning temperature in the range of $1400^{\circ}C{\sim}1450^{\circ}C$, but these were decreased the sintering temperature of above $1450^{\circ}C$. The dielectric constant of the $Mg_5Ta_4O_{15}$ ceramics was increased continuously with increasing sintering temperature. And the dielectric constant of the $Mg_5Nb_4O_{15}$ ceramics was increased in as the sintering temperature increasesfrom $1400^{\circ}C{\sim}1450^{\circ}C$ but was decreased at the temperatures above $1475^{\circ}C$. In the case of the $Mg_5Ta_4O_{15}\;and\;Mg_5Nb_4O_{15}$ ceramics sintered at $1450^{\circ}C$ for 5h, the dielectric constant, quality factor, and temperature coefficient of the resonant frequency (TCRF) were 8.2, 259,473 GHz, $-10.91ppm/^{\circ}C$ and 14, 37,350 GHz, $-52.3ppm/^{\circ}C$, respectively.

Consistent with a previous study on the brown planthopper Nilaparvata lugens (BPH) (Seo et al., 2009), we identified seven distinct EPG waveforms (np, L1, L2, L3, L4-a, L4-b, and L5) in adult female Laodelphax striatellus (SBPH) that fed on rice plants, by using the direct current electrical penetration graph (DC-EPG) system. The shape of waveforms and the pattern of occurrence of each waveform of SBPH were very similar to those of BPH. L3 and L4-a always occurred prior to L4-b. Periodical honeydew excretion was observed in L4-b only. Microsection observation following laser stylectomy revealed that the tips of SBPH stylets severed in L3, L4-a, and L4-b were commonly located in or near the phloem region of rice plants, but were located in the xylem in L5. Plant sap flowed from the stylets severed in L4-b only, and its main carbohydrate component was detected as sucrose by HPLC analysis. These results and the patterns of EPG waveform progress in SBPH suggested that feeding activities on rice plant tissue were relevant to each EPG waveform. L1 and L2 corresponded to the initiation of stylet penetration and stylet movement with salivation on the outside of the vascular bundle. L3 and L4-a were related to feeding activities within the phloem region in preparation for phloem sap ingestion. L4-b was closely associated with phloem sap ingestion, and L5 corresponded to xylem feeding behavior.

Let $T_aD_b(n)$ and $T_aD^{\prime}_b(n)$ denote respectively the number of representations of a positive integer n by $a(x^2-x)/2+b(4y^2-3y)$ and $a(x^2-x)/2+b(4y^2-y)$. Similarly, let $S_aD_b(n)$ and $S_aD^{\prime}_b(n)$ denote respectively the number of representations of n by $ax^2+b(4y^2-3y)$ and $ax^2+b(4y^2-y)$. In this paper, we prove 162 formulas for these functions.

The magnetic properties of Nd-Fe-B alloys of containing 4 at.% Nd have been studied for the development of new type rare-earth magnets. The amorphous phase of a melt-spun $Nd_{4}Fe_{85.5}B_{10.5}$ alloy is transformed into the phases which have a small amount of $Nd_{2}Fe_{14}B_{1}$ in ${\alpha}-Fe$ matrix by annealing above their crystallization temperature. The addition of Mo, Nb, V or Cu to $Nd_{4}Fe_{85.5}B_{10.5}$ alloy results in the reduction of grain size and the sub¬sequent improvement of the coercivity. The coercivity of $Nd_{4}Fe_{82}B_{10}M_{3}Cu_{1}$(M = Mo, Nb, V) alloys increases in the order of M = V < Nb < Mo and shows the highest value of 2.7 kOe when M = Mo. On the other hand, the rem¬anence of these alloys shows the opposite trend and the rn>st improved value of 1.35 T is observed when M = V.

Examined in this paper, is the effect of B$_{4}$C addition on the frictional characteristics of Cu-Sn based sintered friction materials. For the specimens 1wt%, 2wt% and 4wt% of B$_{4}$C were added into the reference material. A pin-on-disk type friction tester was used to,measure the friction torque with respect to the surface temperature and sliding distance. Wear mechanism of each specimen is analyzed in the view point of the oxide film formation. The specimen containing 4wt% of B$_{4}$C showed stable friction and low wear since the oxide film was sustained up to higher surface temperature ranges.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the concentrations of Leukotriene B4 in relation to the clinical symptom of pulpitis in human dental pulp. Pulps obtained from 3 groups of teeth: normal uniflamed teeth(N=22), asymptomatic teeth with deep caries or large restorations(N = 21) and symptomatic teeth with the clinical diagnosis of irreversible pulpitis(N = 15). Pulps were dissected from normal un inflamed teeth and extirpated from asymptomatic and symptomatic teeth during routine endodontic treatment and stored in liquid nitrogen ($-70^{\circ}C$). The levels of Leukotriene B4 in individual or pooled pulps were measured by radioimmunoassay and the mean levels of each group were compared statistically(Kruskall-Wallis oneway ANOVA test). The results were as followings : 1. In normal pulp, low levels of Leukotriene B4 were measured. 2. In pulps from asymptomatic and symptomatic teeth had significantly higher levels of Leukotriene B4 than normal pulps(p<0.01). 3. The levels of Leukotriene B4 in pulps from symptomatic teeth were significantly higher than those of pulps from asymptomatic teeth(p<0.01). These results suggest that Leukotriene B4 play a cretain role in inflammatory process of dental pulp and have a relationship with clinical symptoms of pulpitis.

The adhesion of 16 bifidobacterial strains, including 10 isolates from Korea infants, to Caco-2 cells and their cell surface hydrophobicity were tested. The results of adhesion and cell surface hydrophobicity of for various bifidobacterial strains were obtained and correlations between adhesion and hydrophobicity were strain-dependent properties. Any correlations between species of tested strains were not observed. Among the tested strains, Bifidobacterim longum D6, B. longum H4, B. thermophilum ATCC 25525, B. suis ATCC 27533, and B. animalis subsp. lactis BB12 had higher adherent properties and B. bifidum B3, B. longum D6, B. longum stronger hydrophobicity, respectively. Due to the strain-dependant correlation between adhesion to Caco-2 cells and cell surface hydrophobicity of bifidobacteria, these results provide a possible method for preliminary selection of bifidobacteria potentially adherent to Caco-2 cells by means of cell surface hydrophobic properties.
