  • Education is one of the pillars of sustainable development. For this reason, the discovery of useful information in its process of adaptation to new challenges is treated with care. This paper aims to present the initiation of a process of exploring the data collected from the results obtained by Romanian students at the BBaccalaureate (the Romanian high school graduation) exam, through data mining methods, in order to try an in-depth analysis to find and remedy some of the causes that lead to unsatisfactory results. Specifically, a set of public data was collected from the website of the Ministry of Education, on which several classification methods were tested in order to find the most efficient modeling algorithm. It is the first time that this type of data is subjected to such interests.

  • This study was performed during the four seasons for the production of transgenic pigs containing the Cellulase Digest Gene. Purebred Landrace gilts and sows approximately 8∼15 months of age (n=126) were used for the collection of 1-cell zygotes for DNA microinjection and transfer. Retrospectively, estrus synchronization and superovulation schemes were evaluated to assess practicality fur zygote collection. Synchronization and superovulation procedures were used that cyclic gilts were synchronized with 20mg altrenogest (ALT) per day for 9 days after PG600 administration followed by superovulation with 1000 IU pregnant mares serum gonadotropin (PMSG) and 750IU human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG). The cellulase digestion gene for microinjection is rat elasterase promoter (rEl) linked to CelD gene. After hormone treatment, 1,422 embryos were collected from 91 donors and 95.6% (1,359/1,422) embryos were in 1-cell stage which can be visualized the pronuclei for DNA microinjection. A total of 725 DNA microinjected embryos transferred into 35 recipients and produced 65 piglets from 13 litters. Pregnancy rate according to the number of transferred embryos to recipients was higher the group which received 21 to 24 embryos (50.0%) than other groups 20.0% in less and 33.3% in more. A tail tissue was collected from 65 piglets for biopsy. PCR screening was performed on each DNA sample using two separate sets of primers specific for the 5'- and 3'-flanking region of the rEl-CelD gene. Five of the 65 piglets (7.69%) were positive for the transgene. This study provide useful information regarding production of transgenic pig for bioreactor research.

  • The effect of different dietary structural carbohydrate (SC) to nonstructural carbohydrate (NSC) ratios on fiber degradation, digestion, flow, apparent digestibility and rumen fluid characteristics was studied with a design using 18 wethers fitted with permanent rumen and duodenum cannulae. All sheep were divided into six groups randomly, receiving six diets with varying SC to NSC ratios. All diets contained the same proportion of wheat straw and concentrate. The dietary SC to NSC ratios were adjusted by adding cornstarch to the concentrate supplements. The duodenal and fecal flows of dry matter (DM), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), hemicellulose (HC) and cellulose (CEL) were estimated using chromium-mordanted wheat straw as a flow marker. The degradation parameters of wheat straw DM, NDF, ADF, HC and CEL were determined by incubating the ground wheat straw in nylon bags in the rumen for different periods of time. There was no effect (p>0.05) of the different dietary SC to NSC ratios on rumen pH or $NH_3$-N, but acetate, propionate and butyrate concentrations were significantly affected (p<0.05 or p<0.01) by dietary SC to NSC ratios in the rumen fluid. When the dietary SC to NSC ratio was 2.86, the highest rumen degradability of wheat straw DM, NDF, ADF and CEL was found, but the highest apparent rumen digestibilities of DM, NDF, ADF, HC and CEL occurred at a 2.64 SC to NSC ratio. However, because of compensatory digestion in the hindgut, the apparent digestibilities of DM, NDF, ADF, HC and CEL were highest when the dietary SC to NSC ratio was 2.40. In conclusion, there is a optimal range of dietary SC to NSC ratios (between 2.86 and 2.40) that is beneficial to maximize wheat straw fiber degradation and apparent digestibility.

  • purpose of this work was to study the applied effects of out-of-class Chemical Experience Learning (CEL) Programs on scientific process skills and science-related attitude for middle school students. The out-of-class CEL Programs which were developed to make the funny out-of-class chemistry and the exciting science class', included the nature-friendly chemical experiments suitable for natural environment and composed of real life-centered experiences. The out-of-class CEL programs were applied to natural environment through all-day improvement activity. The science club students in D middle school in Busan were selected as the objects of the study consisting of one experiment group and one control group. The out-of-class CEL programs were applied to the experiment group and traditional class method was applied to the control group. The change of scientific process skills and science-related attitudes between two groups were compared and analyzed. And students reaction on the out-of-class CEL programs was investigated. As a result, out-of-class nature-friendly chemical experiments were improved scientific process skills and science-related attitudes of middle school students. Also, more than 70% of students in the experimental group gave positive feedbacks to the out-of-class CEL programs and increased attention, interest, and degree of self-participation in science.

  • We have solved the crystal structure of a predicted fructose-specific enzyme $IIB^{fruc}$ from Escherichia coli ($EcEIIB^{fruc}$) involved in the phosphoenolpyruvate-carbohydrate phosphotransferase system transferring carbohydrates across the cytoplasmic membrane. $EcEIIB^{fruc}$ belongs to a sequence family with more than 5,000 sequence homologues with 25-99% amino-acid sequence identity. It reveals a conventional Rossmann-like ${\alpha}-{\beta}-{\alpha}$ sandwich fold with a unique ${\beta}$-sheet topology. Its C-terminus is longer than its closest relatives and forms an additional ${\beta}$-strand whereas the shorter C-terminus is random coil in the relatives. Interestingly, its core structure is similar to that of enzyme $IIB^{cellobiose}$ from E. coli ($EcIIB^{cel}$) transferring a phosphate moiety. In the active site of the closest $EcEIIB^{fruc}$ homologues, a unique motif CXXGXAHT comprising a P-loop like architecture including a histidine residue is found. The conserved cysteine on this loop may be deprotonated to act as a nucleophile similar to that of $EcIIB^{cel}$. The conserved histidine residue is presumed to bind the negatively charged phosphate. Therefore, we propose that the catalytic mechanism of $EcEIIB^{fruc}$ is similar to that of $EcIIB^{cel}$ transferring phosphoryl moiety to a specific carbohydrate.

  • To clone ${\beta}$-glucosidase gene from Cellulomonas sp. a gene library was constructed using E. coli JM83 pUC9. Among 2,500 pseudotransformants obtained, 20 clones developed yellow color on the p-nitrophenyl- -D-glucopyranoside filter paper These 20 clones were classified into three groups based on the results of activity staining using nondenaturating polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and restriction enzyme digestions. Among the three groups, only one group containing pCEl plasmid has specificity for cellobiose.
