The porous SiO$_2$-B$_2$O$_3$ membrane was prepared from Si(OC$_2$$H_5$)$_4$-($CH_3$O)$_3$B-C$_2$$H_5$OH-$H_2O$ system by sol-gel method. In order to investigate the characteristics of this membrane, we examined that using BET, IR spectrophotometer, X-ray diffractometer, SEM and TEM. At $700^{\circ}C$, the surface area of SiO$_2$-B$_2$O$_3$ membrane was 354.398 $m^2$/, the median pore diameter was 0.0048 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, and the particle size of SiO$_2$-B$_2$O$_3$ membrane was 7 nm. The separation properties of the gas mixture ($H_2$/$N_2$) through the SiO$_2$-B$_2$O$_3$ membrane was studied as a function of pressure. The real separation factor($\alpha$) of SiO$_2$-B$_2$O$_3$ membrane for $H_2$/$N_2$ gas mixture was 4.68 at 155.15 cmHg and $25^{\circ}C$. The real separation factor($\alpha$), head separation factor($\beta$) and tail separation factor((equation omitted)) were increased as the pressure of permeation cell increased.

Low temperature magnetic properties and crystal structures of melt-spun $Sm_{2}Co_{7}B_{3}$ compound were characterized. The magnetic measurements in the temperature range 77 K~450 K indicated that a spin-reorientation took place at about 150~160 K. A large anisotropy was observed(Ha=135 kOe at 300 K, 725 kOe at 77 K) for $Sm_{2}Co_{7}B_{3}$ although the magnetic moment is rather low. The crystal structure of the $Sm_{2}Co_{7}B_{3}$ compound was analyzed in detail by Rietveld analysis of powder diffraction pattern, and it was revealed that B(4h) atoms are not placed in the Sm(2e) layer but in between the Sm(2e) and Co($6i_{1}$) layers.

Polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (poly[I:C]) can stimulate Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) signaling pathways. In this study, DF-1 cells were treated with poly(I:C) at various concentrations and time points to examine the comparative expression patterns of innate immune response genes. The viability of DF-1 cells decreased from 77.41% to 38.68% when cells were treated different dose of poly(I:C) from 0.1 ㎍/mL to 100 ㎍/mL for 24 h respectively. The expressions of TLR3, TLR4, TLR7, TLR15, TLR21, IL1B, and IL10 were increased in dose- and time-dependent manners by poly(I:C) treatment. On the contrary, the expression patterns of interferon regulatory factors 7 (IRF7), Jun proto-oncogene, AP-1 transcription factor subunit (JUN), Nuclear Factor Kappa B Subunit 1 (NF-κB1), and IL8L2 were varied; IRF7 and IL8L2 were increasingly expressed whereas the expressions of JUN and NF-κB1 were decreased in a dose-dependent manner after they were early induced. In time-dependent analysis, IRF7 expression was significantly upregulated from 3 h to 24 h, whereas JUN and NF-κB1 expressions settled down from 6 h to 24 h after poly(I:C) treatment although they were induced at early time from 1 h to 3 h. Poly(I:C) treatment rapidly increased the expression of IL8L2 from 3 h to 6 h with a plateau at 6 h and then the expression of IL8L2 was dramatically decreased until 24 h after poly(I:C) treatment although the expression level was still higher than the non-treated control. These results may provide the basis for understanding host response to viral infection and its mimicry system in chickens.

To investigate the possible use of probiont in fish farming industry, a bacterium with inhibitory effect against Vibrio anguillarum was isolated from gastrointestinal tract of the marine fish of yellow tail. It was identified to be Bacillus amyloliquefaciens H41 based on biochemical and physiological characterization. The optimal growth conditions of the isolated strain were 1% peptone, 1.5% yeast extract, 1% sucrose, 0.5% NaCl, 0.05% $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_20$, pH 7.0-8.0, and 20 hr of incubation between $28-35^{\circ}C$ under aeration. The culture supernatant of the isolated strain showed inhibition activity against V. anguillarum. Inhibition activity was cleared by forming a clear zone by a paper-disk method. The maximal production of growth inhibition factor was induced by cultivation under 1% peptone, 1.5% yeast extract, 1% sucrose, 1% NaCl, 0.05% $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_20$, pH 7.5 and at $35^{\circ}C$. The highest growth inhibition factor production was observed after 16-24 hr cultivation under aeration. The culture supernatant of the isolated strain showed inhibition activity whereas no inhibition activity was shown from the standard B. amyloliquefaciens KCTC 1724 strain. The growth inhibition affected only against V. anguillarum among other pathogenic Vibrios tested here.

New series of 6-(arylthio)uracils, 6-(4-substituted-1-piperazinyl)uracils, 2,4,5-trioxo-1H,3H-benzothiopyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidine and 5-aryl-2,4-dioxo-1H,3H-pyrimido[5,4-f]benzo[1,4]thiazepines have been prepared and screened for their in vitro activity against herpes simplex-1 virus (HSV-1) and human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1). The in vitro cytotoxic activity was also evaluated. The results of biological testing revealed that compound 5b showed marginal activity against HSV-1, while compounds 5b and 5f exhibited marginal activity against HIV-1. The rest of the tested compounds were found devoid of antiviral activity against both HSV-1 and HIV-1.

The current ruminant feeding models require parameterization of the digestion kinetics of carbohydrate fractions in feed ingredients to estimate the supply of nutrients from a ration. Using an automated gas production technique, statistically welldefined digestion rate of carbohydrate, including soluble carbohydrate, can be estimated in a relatively easy way. In this study, the gas production during in vitro fermentation was measured and recorded by an automated gas production system to investigate degradation kinetics of carbohydrate fractions of a wide range of ruminant feeds: corn silage, rice straw, corn, soybean hull, soybean meal, and cell mass from lysine production (CMLP). The gas production from un-fractionated, ethanol insoluble residue and neutral detergent insoluble residue of the feed samples were obtained. The gas profiles of carbohydrate fractions on the basis of the carbohydrate scheme of the Cornell Net Carbohydrate and Protein System (A, B1, B2, B3 and C) were generated using a subtraction approach. After the gas profiles were plotted with time, a curve was fitted with a single-pool exponential equation with a discrete lag to obtain kinetic parameters that can be used as inputs for modern nutritional models. The fractional degradation rate constants (Kd) of corn silage were 11.6, 25.7, 14.8 and 0.8%/h for un-fractioned, A, B1 and B2 fractions, respectively. The values were statistically well estimated, assessed by high t-value (>12.9). The Kd of carbohydrate fractions in rice straw were 4.8, 21.1, 5.7 and 0.5%/h for un-fractioned, A, B1 and B2 fractions, respectively. Although the Kd of B2 fraction was poorly defined with a t-value of 4.4, the Kd of the other fractions showed tvalues higher than 21.9. The un-fractioned corn showed the highest Kd (18.2%/h) among the feeds tested, and the Kd of A plus B1 fraction was 18.7%/h. Soybean hull had a Kd of 6.0, 29.0, 3.8 and 13.8%/h for un-fractioned, A, B1 and B2, respectively. The large Kd of fraction B2 indicated that NDF in soybean hull was easily degradable. The t-values were higher than 20 except for the B1 fraction (5.7). The estimated Kd of soybean meal was 9.6, 24.3, 5.0%/h for un-fractioned, A and B1 fractions, respectively. A small amount of gas (5.6 ml at 48 ho of incubation) was produced from fermentation of CMLP which contained little carbohydrate. In summary, the automated gas production system was satisfactory for the estimation of well defined (t-value >12) kinetic parameters and Kd of soluble carbohydrate fractions of various feedstuffs that supply mainly carbohydrate. The subtraction approach, however, should be applied with caution for some concentrates, especially those which contain a high level of crude protein since nitrogen-containing compounds can interfere with gas production.

The lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27, LDH) in liver of Lempetra japonica was purified in buffer of affinity chromatography. The liver-specific $C_4$ isozyme of Gadus macrocephalus was purified by heat treatment, affinity chromatography, and DEAE-Sephacel chromatography. The liver-specific $C_4$ isozyme was eluted in a buffer containing NAD+ and was coeluted with $B_4$isozyme in plain buffer of affinity chromagraphy. Liver-specific $C_4$ isozyme in G. macrocephalus was the most thermostable, and$B_4$isozyme was more stable than $A_4$. The LDH in the fraction of pH 7.45 purified from the liver of L. iaponica by chromatofocusing was more inhibited by pyruvate than purified LDH. The optimum pH of the LDH isozyme in the liver of L. japonica was 7.5 and that of liver-specific$C_4$ isozyme was 8.5. The LDH in liver of L. japonica made complexes more with antibody against Coreoperca herzi$A_4$ and liver-specific $C_4$ than with that against eye-specific $C_4$. Therefore, the structure of the LDH in liver of L. japonica might be similarly evolved to that of subunit A and liver-specific $C_4$ isozyme in liver tissue of G. macrocephalus. The evolution rate of subunit C is faster than that of subunit A. LDH in liver of L. japonica has not one isozyme but isozymes and it was also found out to have not only subunit A and B but also subunit C.

In order to decide the naval ship weapon system acquisition for national policy/market economy activities, the decision makers can determine policy based on current technology level/concentration/utilization. For this, the decision makers apply the major common technology field analysis using patents data. As a method for collecting patent data, we can collect patent data of domestic mobile carriers through the Korea Intellectual Property Rights Information System of Korean Intellectual Property Office. As a result, we collected 14,964 patents/352 International Patent Classification(IPC) types. Based on these data, we performed three analysis processes (SNA, PCA, ARIMA, Text Mining) and got each result from extracting 58 IPC types of SNA and 7 IPC types of PCA. Based on the analysis results, we have confirmed that 7 IPC(B63B, H01M, F03D, B01D, H02K, B23K, H01H) types are the Major Common Technology Distribution of domestic Defense Companies.

The identification and characterization of Bacillus polyfermenticus KJS-2 (B. polyfermenticus KJS-2) was conducted using TEM, an API 50CHB kit, 16S rDNA sequencing, a phylogenetic tree, and catalase and oxidase testing. The conversion rate of glucose to lactic acid by B. polyfermenticus KJS-2 was found to be $60.7{\pm}4.9%$. In addition, treatment of B. polyfermenticus KJS-2 with artificial gastric juice (pH 2.0) and bile acid (pH 6.5) for 4 h resulted in a final viability of $140{\pm}7.9%$ and $108{\pm}3.5%$, respectively. Finally, the results of adhesion experiments using Caco-2 cells revealed that the adherence of B. polyfermenticus KJS-2 to Caco-2 cells was approximately $65{\pm}0.6%$.

Melt-spun $Nd_{14}Fe_{76}Co_4B_6$ and $Nd_{10.5}Fe_{79}Co_2Zr_{1.5}B_7$ ribbons were prepared under an externally applied magnetic field. Magnetic properties in terms of anisotropy were evaluated by discussing the effect of textured structure of the ribbon samples as well as its powders. About 32 % increase in $(B{\cdot}H)_{max}$ and 18.8 % increase in $B_r$ were observed along the perpendicular direction of the ribbon plane which is more prominent for the Nd-Fe-Co-Zr-B than for the Nd-Fe-Co-B alloy. The enhancement of magnetic anisotropy was monitored by measuring the anisotropy constant of each alloy as a function of quenching rate of the ribbon. It was found that for the melt-spun ribbon quenched at slow rate(less than 7 m/s) the magnetic field effect was overwhelmed by the heat gradient effect through the ribbon thickness while the field effect was prominent at intermediate quenching rate (more than 7~11 m/s). The reproducible maximum energy product, $(B{\cdot}H)_{max}$=16.4 MGOe can be obtained from the Nd-Fe-Co-Zr-B alloy.
