A new algorithm for determining noise level is proposed for more reliability in interpreting spectral data for complex Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR) mass spectra of petroleum. In the new algorithm, a moving window with a fixed number of data points was adopted, instead of a fixed m/z width. In the analysis of petroleum, it was found that a moving window of 50,000 or more data points was optimal. This optimized automated peak picking performed well even with frequency-dependant noise in the mass spectrum. Additionally, this fast, automated peak picking algorithm was suitable for the analysis of a large set of samples.

Accurate measurement of benthic nutrient fluxes (BNF) is a prerequisite for evaluating the effect of sediments on nutrient cycle in the surface water. The intact sediment cores were collected in July 2015 at the midstream of Nakdong River. We identified pre-incubation time (6, 12, 24 hr), dissolved oxygen concentration (90, 70, 50% saturation), diffusive boundary layer thickness (0, 0.6-0.8, 1.2-1.4 mm), and incubation temperature (10, 17, 20, $25^{\circ}C$) as the most important control factors, and measured the BNF fluctuation with the variation of these factors using the laboratory sediment core incubation method. Since the chemical composition, redox condition, hydrodynamic regimes and microbial activities at the sediment-water interface were changed as a result of the alteration of control factors, sediment core incubation should be conducted under as close to the natural conditions of study site as possible, in order to produce the results similar to actual values. Relative percentage differences between two replicates were below 20% in most control factors, which showed satisfactory precision for strict compliance with the experimental conditions and procedures. In the further studies, we will compare the results of core incubation with those of in situ measurements to confirm the accuracy of the sediment core incubation method.

Previously, we showed that acetone enhanced aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH) activity in only 3-methylcholanthrene (MC)- or $\beta$-naphtoflavone (BNF)-inducible microsomes of rat liver. In the present study, the possible mechanism underlying acetone action on AHH was investigated in the liver microsomes from MC-pretreated rats. Other n-alkylketones except acetone did not increase AHH activity, which rather decreased significantly with the length of alkyl side chain. Acetone had no effect on the activity of NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase or inhibited the formation of 3-OH benzo(a)pyrene (B(a)P) in nonenzymatic model ascorbic acid system. However, in cumene hydroperoxide (CuOOH)-supported B(a)P hydroxylation, acetone enhanced its velocity remarkably by 30% at the optimal concentration (30 $\mu$M CuOOH and 1.0% acetone). From these results, we conclude that acetone may facilitate the formation of an activated oxygen species or the insertion of oxygen into B(a)P molecule in CYP1A rich microsomes.

자바 언어는 객체 지향 언어이며 이식성에 좋은 언어로써 각광을 받고 있다. 하지만 자바 프로그램은 이식성은 좋지만 실행 시 인터프리터 방식으로 사용하기 때문에 실행속도가 느리다는 단점이 있다. 또한 바이트코드는 스택기반의 코드이기 때문에 코드 단편화 문제점과 스택 접근 연산들을 사용하여 프로그램 분석이 용이 하지 않고, 단순한 변환을 복잡하게 만들 수 있다는 단점이 있다. 따라서 바이트코드 자체로 분석과 최적화하기가 용이 하지 못하다. 본 논문에서는 바이트코드의 분석을 위한 트리구조 중간코드를 제안 한다. 트리구조 중간코드는 스택기반 코드의 문제점을 보완하고, 기존에 3-주소 형태의 최적화 기법들을 적용할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 본 논문은 바이트코드와 각종 정보를 가지고 있는 클래스 파일을 입력받아 분석 후 기본블록을 나누고 BNF코드를 바탕으로 트리구조 중간코드를 생성하게 된다. 생성된 중간코드를 가지고 제어 흐름 그래프를 만들게 된다. 이러한 방식으로 트리구조 중간코드를 설계하게 된다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of aqueous extract from Cicadidae Periostracum(CP) on the RAW 264.7 cells. Method: We examined the cytokine productions including nitric oxide(NO), interleukin(IL)-1b, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-a(TNF-a) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW 264.7 cells and also inhibitory mechanisms such as mitogen -activated protein kinases(MAPKs) and nuclear factor kappa BNF-kB) using Western blot. Results: CP inhibited LPS-induced production of NO, IL-1b and TNF-a but not of IL-6 in RAW 264.7 cells. CP respectively inhibited the activation of MAPKs such as extracelluar signal-regulated kinase(ERK 1/2), c-Jun $NH_2$-terminal kinase(JNK), p38 and NF-kB in the LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. Also oral administration of CP inhibited CLP - induced endotoxin shock. Conclusion: our results showed that CP down-regulated LPS-induced NO, IL-1b and TNF-a productions mainly through ERK, JNK, p38 MAPK and NF-kB pathway, which suggest the anti-inflammatory effects of CP.

Seasonal quantitative van Veen grab sampling was conducted to characterize the composition and structure of the benthic polychaete community inhabiting the shellfish farming ground of a coastal bay system of Jiniu Bay (Korea). A total of 132 polychaete species were identified and the polychaetes accounted for about $80\%$ of overall abundance of benthic animals. There was little significant seasonal difference in densities (abundances) of polychaetes, Maximum biomass was obseued in summer (August) and minimum value was recorded in winter (February) and spring (May). Conversely, diversity and richness were lowest in summer, indicating a seasonal variability in the polychaetous community structure, The cluster analysis indicated that such a seasonal variability resulted mainly from the appearance of a few small, r-selected opportunists in spring and the tubiculous species of the family Maldanidae in summer. On the other hand, several indicator species for the organically enriched environments such as Capitelia capitata, Notoniashs Jatericeus and hmbrineris sp. showed high densities during all the study period. Density and biomass of univariate measures of community structure were significantly lower in the arkshell-farming ground of the southern area than in the non-farming sites of the bay, A similar general tendency was also found in the spatial distributions of species diversity and richness. Principal component analysis revealed the existence of different groups of benthic assemblages between the arkshell-farming ground and non-farming sites, The lack of colonization of r-selected opportunists and/or tubiculous species in the former ground seemed to contribute to the spatial differences in the composition and structure of the polychaetous communities. Although finer granulometric composition and high sulfide concentration in sediments of the arkshell-farming ground and low salinity in the northern area were likely to account for parts of the differences, other environmental variables observed were unlikely. The spatial distribution of polychaetes in Jiniu Bay may be rather closely related to the sedimentary disturbance by selection of shells for harvesting in spring.

We investigated geochemical constituents of pore-water and sediment, rates of organic carbon (C_org) oxidation and sulfate reduction (SR), and benthic nutrient flux (BNF) to elucidate characteristic of C_org oxidation and its control in the coastal area near Lake Shihwa. The study sites were selected in the vicinity of Soraepogu (E0), Songdo tidalflat (E1) and Oido dock (E3) and in front of floodgate Shihwa tidal plant (E5). The C_org contents in the sediments and concentrations of ammonium and phosphate in pore water exhibited the highest value at EO, and gradually decreased toward the outer sea (E1, E3, E5). Rates of anaerobic C_org oxidation (260.6 mmol C m^-2 d^-1) and SR (91.4 mmol S m^-2 d^-1) at E0 were 4-9 and 6-54 times higher than at the site of outer sea (E1, E3, E5). Rates of SR at E3 and E5 accounted for 11-23% of anaerobic C_org oxidation, whereas it comprised 47-70% of anaerobic C_org oxidation at E0 and E1. Rates of C_org oxidation and SR showed a highly positive correlation with the concentration of dissolved organic carbon (r² = 0.795 and 0.777, respectively). The BNF at E0, E1, and E3 accounted for 120-510% and 26-178%, respectively, of the N and P required for primary production in the water column. Overall results suggest that the C_org oxidation in the sediment controlled by concentration of dissolved organic carbon in the pore water and the excessive C_org oxidation stimulates the benthic nutrient flux, which may cause a phytoplankton bloom in the water column.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the sensory characteristics of 11 noodles from four countries by descriptive analysis and consumer acceptance test. Noodle types were udon, pasta, kalguksu, and plain noodles. Fourteen sensory descriptors were developed to evaluate the sensory characteristics of the noodles. The sensory characteristics of the noodles were sweetness, saltiness, springiness, hardness, chewiness, milk flavor, yeasty odor, milk powder flavor, loose particles, and so on. PCA conducted to visually summarize the sensory characteristics of noodles by consumer preference test revealed that 77.1% of the variance was positively defined by sweet, springiness, cohesiveness, chewiness, and moisture and was negatively defined by hardness, color, and floury taste. Yk_udng_KR, thin_KR showed high scores for attributes of springiness and cohesiveness. Overall consumer acceptance was surveyed. Udng_KR scored the highest for attributes such as gusu. Udng_KR showed the highest springiness and high moisture, taste acceptance, and overall acceptance. Note: Please confirm this word.

Corporations look for their competitiveness in many different areas, and one of them is customer call center, which provides professional, special service to the customers. The importance and the value of realization of customer satisfaction at each call center have become significant as it plays a leading role and is responsible for customer recreation and follow-up services. This study held in-depth interviews with 3 groups of professional call representatives (categorized by experience) from popular property and life insurance companies in Korea who operate in and outbound calls. Three variables, emotional quotient, organizational citizenship behavior (OCB), and IT utilization skill, were selected and it was observed how these variables affect the job performance of in and outbound call center representatives. The importance of the relationship between the variables and the key factors in the future direction of improvement of the call center representative organization was analyzed. Emotional quotient refers to the ability to recognize and use the emotion of oneself and others. It was considered it would be effective in enhancing the counseling ability of call center representatives, This study identifies the effect of emotional quotient on job performance and organizational citizenship behavior, which is defined as actions outside of normative roles in the organization. Also, the study aims to prove the effect of emotional quotient on the rapidly developing IT utilization ability in relation to job performance. As a result, it was found that service career (3 months, 3 years, 10 years) had a significant effect on the key factors that affect the organization-emotional quotient, IT utilization skill, and OCB. Especially for OCB, it was considered relatively less important to the new employees, while it greatly affected the job performance, rate of settlement, and sustainment of the working life for those with longer experience. Also, the result of the interview for each variable differed by the service career. Emotional quotient, IT utilization skill, and OCB were close connection for the representatives with longer experience than for those with shorter experience. And the level of intimacy of their relationship with job performance was in proportion to the years of service. Thus, to secure stability for the call center representatives and enhance their job performance continually, the importance of emotional quotient and IT utilization skill shall be reflected in the operation process actively. In particular, in order to lead a organization with outstanding culture, a management system shall apply OCB from the recruitment process.
