The binding abilities of two multidentate tripodal amine catechol ligands, cis,cis-1,3,5-tris[(2,3-dihydroxybenzylamino) aminomethyl]cyclohexane (TMACHCAT, $L^1)\;and\;N^1,N^3,N^5$-tris(2-(2,3-dihydroxybenzylamino) ethyl)cyclohexane-1,3,5-tricarboxamide (CYCOENCAT, $L^2$) with Ga(III) and In(III) have been investigated by potentiometric and spectrophotometric methods in an aqueous medium of 0.1 M KCl at 25 ${\pm}\;1\;{^{\circ}C}.$ The ligands $L^1\;and\;L^2$ formed various monomeric species $MLH_3,\;MLH_2$, MLH and ML (M = $Ga^{+3}\;and\;In^{+3}$) and showed potential to form strong encapsulated tris(catechol) type complexes. The coordination modes, binding ability and selectivity of the ligands towards Ga(III) and In(III) have been discussed with the help of experimental evidences, and supported with molecular modeling calculations.

Tomatoes and tomato products are the major source of lycopene in the diet. The bioavailability of lycopene is different in raw tomatoes compared to processed tomato products. This is due to the chemical and physical properties of the different lycopene isomers. All-trans-lycopene is found in raw tomatoes and is a poor bioavailable source, whereas, processed tomato products are more bioavailable because they contain more cis-isomers. Heat and mechanical processing of tomatoes induces rupture of the cell walls, thereby releasing lycopene from its food matrix. Heat processing also induces cis-trans isomerization and disrupts protein-carotenoid complexes. Many dietary components also impact lycopene bioavailability, like the amount and type of fat present with the intake and processing of tomato products, the amount and type of fiber present, and the interaction between carotenoids. Fundamentally, anything that enhances formation and incorporation of lycopene in bile acid micelles increases bioavailability, and the opposite is true in that anything that interferes with micelle formation decreases bioavailability.

In this paper, an attempt has been made to design the controller applicable for H.264 level3 encoder of baseline profile on full hardware basis. The designed controller module first stores the images supplied from CMOS Image Sensor(CIS) at main memory, and then reads or stores the image data in macroblock unit according to encoder operation. The timing cycle of the DMA controller required to process a macroblock is 478 cycles. In order to verify the our design, reference-C encoder, which is compatible to JM 9.4, is developed and the designed controller is verified by using the test vector generated from the reference C code. The number of cycle in the designed DMA controller is reduced by 40% compared with the cycle of using Xilinx MIG.

In this paper, the authors propose the pseudo complex correlation coefficient (PCCC) of the two complex random variables (RV), because the four real correlation coefficients (RCC) of the corresponding four real RVs cannot be obtained only from the complex correlation coefficient (CCC) of given two complex RV. Such observation is motivated by the general statement; "The complex jointly-Gaussian random M-vector cannot be completely described by the complex covariance matrix, even though the real Gaussian random 2M-vector can be completely descried by the real covariance matrix. Therefore, in order to describe completely the complex jointly-Gaussian random M-vector, we need an additional matrix, namely the complex pseudo-covariance matrix, along with the complex covariance matrix." Then, we apply PCCC to correlated information sources (CIS) for non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) in 5G system, and investigate impact of the proposed PCCC on the achievable data rate of the stronger channel user in the conventional successive interference cancellation (SIC) NOMA with CIS. It is shown that for the given same CCC, the achievable data rates with the different PCCC are different, because the corresponding RCC are different. We also show that as the absolute value of the same CCC increases, the impact of the different PCCC becomes more significant.

The stereoselectivity of the intramolecular Diels-Alder reactions of 1 and its derivatives were investigated by ab initio calculations. The stereoselectivity mainly originates from the steric repulsion and the orbital interactions. The additional s-cis and s-trans conformations by introducing the carbonyl group at the neighbor of diene or dienophile may change the stereoselectivity, hence this kind of substitution can be utilized for stereoselectivive asymmetric synthesis.

This study was designed to compare the anti-carcinogenic effect of conjugated linoleic acid isomers on tumor incidence, cell proliferation and the levels of thromboxane (TX) B$_2$, prostaglandin (PG) E$_2$ and 1,2-diacylglycerol (DAG), and the related enzyme expression of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 and protein kinase C (PKC) in colonic mucosa of 1,2-dimethy- lhydrazine (DMH) -treated rats. One hundred eight male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into 3 groups depending on the types of CLA isomers, i.e. control group (no CLA contained), c9t11 group (cis-9, trans-11 CLA contained), and t10c12 group (trans-10, cis-12 CLA contained). The experimental diet was composed of protein at 20%, carbohydrate at 56.2%, and fat at 14.5% including 1.0% CLA isomers by weight. The experimental diet was fed for 30 weeks with the initiation of intramuscular injection of DMH, which was injected twice a week for 6 weeks to give total dose of 180 mg per kg body weight. Two CLA isomers (c9, t11, t10, c12) significantly reduced tumor incidence and cell proliferation by reducing the protein expression of COX-2 and PKC, and the level of TXB$_2$, PGE$_2$, and DAG in colonic mucosa. However, there was no significant difference in anti-carcinogenic effect between c9t11-CLA and t10c12-CLA.

An in vitro study was conducted to examine the effect of addition level of carbohydrates on fermentation characteristics, and bio-hydrogenation of unsaturated fatty acids by mixed rumen bacteria when incubated with soybean oil or flaxseed oil. Four levels(0%, 0.3%, 0.6% and 0.9%, w/v) of the mixed carbohydrates(glucose, cellobiose, soluble starch, 1:1:1, in weight basis) and oil sources(soybean or flaxseed oil, 60mg in 150ml culture solution) were added to the mixed solution of strained rumen fluid with artificial saliva(1:4, v/v), and incubated anaerobically for 12 hours at 39℃. pH and ammonia-N concentration were lower by increasing the substrate levels at all incubation periods(P<0.05～P<0.001). The propionate proportion increased(P<0.001), but acetic acid and butyric acid decreased(P<0.001) with the substrate level at 6 and 12 h incubations. Oil sources did not influence the proportions of individual VFA. At the end of incubation, the proportions of C18:0(P<0.01), C18:1(P<0.001) and trans-11C-18:1(P<0.01) were reduced but those of C18:2(P<0.001) and C18:3(P<0.01) were enhanced by the addition of flaxseed oil compared to addition of soybean oil. The proportions of C18:0 and total CLA were reduced(P<0.01) but those of trans-11-C18: (P<0.05) and C18:2(P<0.01) were increased with the substrate level when incubated with soybean oil or flaxseed oil. There were interactions(P<0.05) in the proportions of C18:1, C18:2 and C18:3(P<0.01) between oil source and substrate level. The proportions of cis-9, trans-11-CLA and trans-10, cis-12-CLA tended to reduce with substrate level, although there was no significant difference between treatments.

The volatile flavor compounds of fresh and dried shiitake mushrooms(Lentinus edodes) were extracted by simultaneous steam distillation-extraction apparatus, and analyzed by combined GC and GC-MS, and effects of pH on the formation of volatile compounds in fresh shiitake mushroom were investigated. Of the 29 compounds identified from fresh shiitake mushroom, the main volatile compound was 1-octen-3-ol comprising about 74.7% of the total volatiles and that in dried shiitake mushroom was 1, 2, 4-trithiolane comprising about 66.3%. With the exception of above two compounds, 3-octanone, 1-octen-3-one, 3-octanol, cis-2-octenal, n-octanol and cis-2-octenol as $C_8$ compounds were identified. Carbon disulfide, dimethyl disulfide, dimethyl trisulfide, 1-(methyl thio)-dimethyl disulfide, 1, 2, 4, 5-tetrathiane as sulfurous compounds were also identified. The formation of $C_8$ compounds in fresh shiitake mushroom during immersion was dominant in the range of pH 6.0 to 7.0, while the formation of sulfurous compounds in the range of pH 8.0 to 9.0.

To investigate the constituents of antimutagenic factor from brown rice, methanol extracts were fractionated into ether, ethylacetate, buthanol and aqueous fractions. The ether fractions showed distinct antimutagenic effect and active spot were selected by silica gel chromatography. The specific activity of active spot decreased with isolation of the active components from the methanol extract. Qualitative analyses of the active spot by using various spraying reagents revealed that ninhydrin and orcinol did not develop colored reactions. But, ferric chloride, 2,7-dichlorofluorescein, antimony pentachloride, phosphomolybdic acid, bromothymol blue and rhodamine 6G led to colored reactions. These results suggested that the consitituents of active material were neither polar nor nitrogen-containing compounds and that they may contain phenolic compounds and fatty acid derivatives. Main compounds of the active spot were analyzed to be o-hydroxy benzyl alcohol(saligenin), octanoic acid(caprylic acid), 9,12-cis-octadecadienoic acid(linoleic acid), 11-cis-octadecenoic acid(oleic acid), hexadecanoic acid(palmitic acid), 1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid and 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid(phthalate) in GC/Mass spectrum, and antimutagenicity of these active compounds using standard regeant was reconfirmed in S. typhimurium reversion assay.
