In order to compare molecular structure, malonate decarboxylases from Acinetobacter calcoaceticus, Pseudomonas fluorescens, and Pseudomonas putida aerobically grown on malonate, were purified by the method employing streptomycin sulfate treatment, chromatography with PBE 94 and ${\omega}-aminohexyl$ agarose. Molecular masses were estimated to be 185, 200, and 200 kDa, respectively. All malonate decarboxylases were multimeric enzymes consisting of four different subunits, $2{\alpha},\;1{\beta},\;1{\gamma},\;and\;1{\delta}$. The molecular masses of the Pseudomonas enzyme subunits were $65({\alpha})$, $33({\beta})$, $30({\gamma})$, and $11kDa({\delta})$; which are very similar to those, $65({\alpha})$, $32({\beta})$, $25({\gamma})$, and $11kDa({\delta})$ of Acinetobacter enzyme. The ${\delta}-subunit$ of the active form of the enzymes was acetylated. The acetyl group may form a thioester bond with the thiol group of the prosthetic group covalently linked to the enzyme. It suggests that such molecular organization is common in all malonate decarboxylases.

Many international transactions involve the use of security devices, commonly referred to as "guarantees", "bonds", or "standby credits", designed to protect one of the parties from a breach by its counter-party. These security mechanisms may be provided by banks, insurance companies, specialized surety companies, or other financial service firms. Although some legal systems distinguish between "guarantees", "bonds", and "indemnities", these terms are often used as synonyms in the everyday language of international traders. It may therefore be necessary to examine the particular characteristics and nature of the guarantee obligation in order to properly classify the guarantee. Two main categories of guarantee are demand and suretyship. Under a demand guarantee, the guarantor must pay on first demand by the beneficiary. The beneficiary only has to demand payment under the guarantee - there is no need to prove that the principal has actually defaulted on a contractual obligation. Under a suretyship or conditional guarantee, the obligation of the guarantor is triggered by the actual default or contractual breach of the principal, as evidenced in a document such as a court judgement or arbitral award against the principal. Guarantees have been widely used in the international business transactions. Main uses of guarantees are as follows : Performance Bonds/Guarantees, Bid(or Tender) Bonds/Guarantees, Advance Payment or Repayment Bonds/Guarantees, Retention Bonds/Guarantees, Maintenance(or Warranty) Bonds/Guarantees etc.

In order to reuse inulinase effectively, a method for immobilizing both endo- and exoinulinase to vinylsulfone activated agarose via covalent bond was investigated. The immobilized enzyme preparation had, respectively, 400 U for exoinulinase activity and 80 U for endoinu- Iinase activity per gram gel. A thermal stability by immobilization had increased in the case of exoinulinase. Optimum pHs for two immobilized enzymes were 4.4 to 5.0. Synergistic effect which depends on mixed ratio of two immobilized enzymes was the best when the mixed ratio of endo/exo lay between 0.1 and 0.5, and its activity of the mixed enzyme increased 1.7 times as compared to that of each immobilized enzyme. Inulinase activities of both of the immobilized enzymes did not change during 20 times experimental runs in a batch reactor.

This paper presents an experimental work to study the flexural strength of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened by partially de-bonded near surface-mounted (NSM) fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) strip with various de-bonded length. Especially, considering high anchorage capacity at end of a FRP strip, the effect of de-bonded region at a central part was investigated. In order to check the improvement of strength or deformation capacity when the bonded surface area only increased without changing the FRP area, single and triple lines of FRP were planned. In addition, the flexural strength of the RC member strengthened by a partially de-bonded NSM FRP strip was evaluated by using the existing researchers' strength equation to predict the flexural strength after retrofit. From the study, it was found that where de-bonded region exists in the central part of a flexural member, the deformation capacity of the member is expected to be improved, because FRP strain is not to be concentrated on the center but to be extended uniformly in the de-bonded region. Where NSM FRP strips are distributed in triple lines, a relatively high strength can be exerted due to the increase of bond strength in the anchorage.

PURPOSES : The objective of this study was to evaluate the results of the dynamic immersion test (DIT) through digital image analysis (DIA). METHODS : The asphalt binder retained post DIT was inspected visually by more than three investigators. However, because visual observations can be subjective, depending on the inspector's skills and knowledge, DIA was also performed. The threshold value for the DIA was determined by a mesh analysis, in which the digital image to be analyzed is divided into very small meshes. In addition, the bitumen bond strength (BBS) test was also performed to the compare the visual results with the mechanical values. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS : Depending on the materials used, various methods can be used to predict the behavior of retained asphalt. However, the increasing ratio in the trend of retained asphalt shows different behaviors among the evaluation methods. In this study, the results of the visual observations were significantly different from those of the DIA, the mesh analysis, and the BBS tests. Thus, DIA is an appropriate method for evaluating the results of the DIT. However, in order to use this technique in the field, it is necessary to determine a more reasonable threshold value by performing DIA on various materials.

This paper presents a new prototype of an engine mount for a passenger vehicle featuring ER(elector-rheological) fluids and piezoactuators. Conventional rubber mounts and various types of passive or semi-active hydraulic engine mounts have their own functional aims on the limited frequency band in the board engine operating frequency range. However, the proposed engine mount covers all frequency range of the engine operation. A mathematical model of the proposed engine mount is derived using the bond graph method which is inherently domain, the ER fluid is activated upon imposing electric field for vibration isolation while the piezoactuator. Computer control electric fluid for the ER fluid H.inf. cotrol technique is adopted for the piezoactuator. Computer simulation is undertaken in order to demonstrate isolation efficiency of the engine mount over wide operating frequency range.

With the wide spread of direct current(DC) electric railroads in Korea, the stray current or leakage currents from negative return rails become a pending problem to the safety of nearby underground Infrastructures. The most widely used mitigation method for this interference is the stray current drainage method, which connects the underground metallic structures to the rails with diodes (polarized drainage) or thyristor (forced drainage). This method, however, inherently possesses some drawbacks such as an increase of total leakage torrents from rails, expansion of interference zone, etc. In order to resolve these drawbacks, we developed a rapid potential-controled rectifier and applied to a depot area where stray current inference is very severe. The effect of this method was analyzed from the field tell data and we suggest this method can be an excellent alternative to the drainage-bond-based mitigation methods.
