The experiment was carried out to investigate the productivity of freshwater rotifer, Brachionus calyciflorus and marine rotifer, B. rotundiformis at various temperatures, initial inoculation and pH in a 5 L semi-continuous high density culture. Rotifers were fed by commercial condensed freshwater Chlorella. When pH was not controlled, average daily productions of freshwater and marine rotifers increased with temperature. The highest production, $44\times10^6$ rotifers, was achieved of B. calyciflorus at $32^{\circ}C$ and the possible production lasting period of B. calyciflorus was shorter than that of B. rotundiformis. Under the adjustment of pH at 7, the possible production lasting periods of B. calyciflorus and B. rotundiformis inoculated with 5,000 inds./mL were longer than those of rotifers inoculated with 10,000 inds./mL, and the daily production rate of the former was higher than that of the latter. The results from this study indicated that optimum density of the initial inoculation for the cultivation of B. calyciflorus and B. rotundiformis was 5,000 inds,/mL under the controlled conditions of pH 7 and at $32^{\circ}C$ in a semi-continuous high density culture, in terms of production rate and food cost aspects.

This study was performed to investigate the effect of vitamin $B_{12}$ addition on the production and hatching rate of resting egg of freshwater rotifer, Brachionus calyciflorus. Different concentrations of vitamin $B_{12}$ was added into concentrated freshwater Chlorella before fed to rotifer and rotifer was cultured in 250 mL flask. The maximum density of rotifer was 138 inds./mL at 6 ppm and it increased with an increase of vitamin $B_{12}$ addition. Mixis rate and fertilization rate of rotifer were $63.0\%$ and $89.6\%$, respectively, at 6.0 ppm. The production of resting eggs per mL was 231 eggs/mL at 1.5 ppm, but there was no significant difference among vitamin $B_{12}$ addition levels. The highest production of resting eggs per 10,000 rotifers and Chlorella dry weight (g) were 11,289 eggs and 121,252 eggs, respectively, at the 6 ppm. The hatching rate of resting egg was not significantly different among vitamin $B_{12}$ addition levels, but significantly higher than the control (without addition of vitamin $B_{12}$ ). These results showed that vitamin $B_{12}$ addition could affect production and hatching rate of resting egg of freshwater rotifer, B. calyciflorus.

The purpose of this study is to find out the spatial characteristics of the multi-housing units in Seoul and Kyung-gi area since 2006. Literature review and content analysis were used for this study and 82units of the big size over $165m^2$ were analyzed to review such design characteristics as spatial composition, layout and linkage. Through this study, the following conclusions have been reached; 1) Most unit plans had 4LDK and 3bath types including family room as a public space. This results shows that family-room and bathroom has recently become more important than number of rooms in multi-housing units planning. 2) Diversity of plan figures such as mass-mixing, mass-separation and polygons(L, V-type)was showed in most unit plan, breaking from the standardized forms of box types. 3) Intermediated spaces such as foyers and halls in entrance zone were planned and sub-entrance into kitchen were planned for the various types of circulation and work-efficiency. Cases had private space separated from public space, the dispersion of rooms with the increase of connection by corridors, L-DK meaning the living room isolated from the dining and kitchen, partially located living room for a view in area distribution. The spatial planning of master-zone mostly consists of the types of two-rooms and an entry into a foyer(library, dress-powder room, bathroom and master bedroom). This study has a significant meaning on grasping current trend in Korean multi-housing and to provide information for future direction on housing-unit design.

Water extracts were extracted on water bath for 3 hrs at 90${^{\circ}C}$ after 5 times water was added to hot-air dried garlic (DG) and red ginseng (RG), respectively. Its extracts were dried on rotary evaporator, and then the mixture samples were prepared from RG extracts added to DG extracts at 5, 10, and 15%. To test biological activities such as DPPH, nitrite scavenging, tyrosinase, $\alpha$-glucosidase, human gastric (AGS), and human colon cancer cell (HT-29) growth, dryness of DG, RG, and mixture samples were diluted 500-10,000 $\mu$g/mL adding deionized water, respectively. DPPH scavenging activities of mixture sample were slightly higher than DG and RG sample alone. Nitrite scavenging activity was the highest in DG, and the other samples were below 45%. Inhibition activity of tyrosinase was below 35.0% in tested all samples. Inhibition activity of $\alpha$-glucosidase was lower in DG or RG alone, while its activity of mixture sample was increased in proportion to concentration of RG extracts. Inhibition of AGS cell growth was more effective in mixture samples than DG and RG alone, while inhibition of HT-29 cell growth was more effective in DG or RG alone than mixture samples.

Mastoparan B (MPB), an antimicrobial cationic peptide isolated from the venom of the hornet Vespa basalis, is a basic amphipathic α-helical peptide composed of fourteen amino acid residues. In this study, we have investigated the algicidal effect of MPB against harmful algae blooms (HABs) casative Alexandrium tamarense, Chattonella marina, Cochlodinium polykrikoides and Gymnodinium catenatum. The algicidal effect of MPB showed in the concentration of 31.3 $\mu{g}$/mL to 500 $\mu{g}$/mL against 4 HAB species and observed cell lysis or cell ecdysis by microscopy. MPB reacted more sensitive to C. marina and C. polykrikoides than A. tamarense and G. catenatum. The algicidal study of MPB against HABs will provides much insight into development of new algicidal substances.

Milk proteins have many potential sequences within their primary structure, each with a specific biological activity. In this study, we compared and investigated the bioactivities of hydrolysates of the domestic (A, B) and imported (C, D) skim milk powders generated using papain digestion. MALDI-TOF analysis revealed that all milk powder proteins were intact, indicating no autolysis. Electrophoretic analysis of hydrolysates showed papain treatment caused degradation of milk proteins into peptides of various size. The antioxidant activity of the hydrolysates, determined using 2,2-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) and total phenolic contents (TPC) assays, increased with incubation times. In all skim milk powders, the antioxidant activities of hydrolysates were highest following 24 h papain treatment (TPC: A, 196.48 μM GE/L; B, 194.52 μM GE/L; C, 194.76 μM GE/L; D, 163.75 μM GE/L; ABTS: A, 75%; B, 72%; C, 72%; D, 57%). The number of peptide derived from skim milk powders, as determined by LC-MS/MS, was 308 for A, 283 for B, 208 for C, and 135 for D. Hydrolysate A had the highest antioxidant activity and the most potential antioxidant peptides amongst the four skim milk powder hydrolysates. A total of 4 β-lactoglobulin, 4 α_s1-casein, and 56 β-casein peptide fragments were identified as potential antioxidant peptides in hydrolysate A by LC-MS/MS. These results suggest that domestic skim milk could have applications in various industries, i.e., in the development of functional foods.

Two Bacterial strains 1-C and 51-C capable of utilizing aniline as a sole source of carbon and energy were isolated from river waters. Both strains were identified as Pseudomonas rhodesiae based on their physiological and biochemical characteristics and 16S rRNA gene sequence. The strains were able to grow on the mineral salt media containing aniline at concentrations up to 6,000 ${\mu}g/mL$. Pseudomonas rhodesiae 51-C completely degraded aniline in a mineral salt medium containing 300 ${\mu}g/mL$ of aniline as a sole carbon and energy source within 16 hours. The optimum pH and temperature for its growth and aniline degradation were 7.0 and $30^{\circ}C{\sim}35^{\circ}C$, respectively. This is the first report of aniline degradation by P. rhodesiae strains.

This paper presents a two stage L-band power amplifier realized with a $0.32{\mu}m$ Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) CMOS technology. To overcome a low breakdown voltage limit of MOSFET, stacked-FET structures are employed, where three transistors in the first stage amplifier and four transistors in the second stage amplifier are connected in series so that their output voltage swings are added in phase. The stacked-FET structures enable the proposed amplifier to achieve a 21.5 dB small-signal gain and 15.7 dBm output 1-dB compression power at 1.9 GHz with a 122 mA DC current from a 4 V supply. The amplifier delivers a 19.7 dBm. This paper presents a two stage L-band power amplifier realized with a $0.32{\mu}m$ Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) CMOS technology.

The lactase activities of nine species of lactic acid bacteria were compared using the chromogenic substrate, $o-nitrophenyl-{\beta}-D-galactopyranoside$. Streptococcus thermophilus KACC 91147 had the highest lactase activity among a total of thirty strains of Lactobacillus and S. thermophilus tested, including commercial strains. S. thermophilus KACC 91147 released $0.30{\pm}0.12\;mg/mL$ of galactose in treated milk A ($10^7\;CFU/mL$) and $6.49{\pm}0.38\;mg/mL$ in treated milk B ($10^9\;CFU/mL$ milk) over 2 hours. In milk tolerance tests, the blood glucose level (BGL) of 6 volunteers (2 males and 4 females) clinically diagnosed as lactose intolerant increased 3.0 mg/dl after drinking milk A, but a significant (p<0.05) additional increase of $11.2{\pm}4.18\;mg/dl$ was found after drinking milk B. This result suggests that the addition of S. thermophilus KACC 91147 cells into milk aids the digestion of lactose in milk and ameliorates the symptoms of lactose-intolerant individuals due to the activity of lactase from the lactic streptococci.

Carex pumila Thunb. is a plant native to East Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. However, its effect on skin melanogenesis has not been investigated. In the present study, we evaluated its anti-melanogenic properties using B16F10 melanoma cells and zebrafish larvae in the presence or absence of α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH). In this study we revealed that concentrations below 50 µg/mL did not induce any cytotoxicity in B16F10 melanoma cells and cardiotoxicity in zebrafish larvae. However, 50 µg/mL treatment significantly inhibited α-MSH-induced extracellular (from 181.24% α 0.62% to 105.15% α 0.31%) and intracellular melanin contents (from 119.8% α 1.2% to 53.4% α 1.7%) as well as intracellular tyrosinase activity (from 143.9% α 4.2% to 103.7% α 1.4%) in B16F10 melanoma cells. At 25 µg/mL and 50 µg/mL concentrations, it could significantly inhibit α-MSH induced hyperpigmentation in zebrafish larvae (from 100% α 2.3% to 60.7% α 1.3% and 47.5% α 1.9% respectively). Additionally, the extract suppressed α-MSH-induced cAMP-CREB-MITF signaling pathway and consequently inhibited tyrosinase expression in B16F10 melanoma cells. In conclusion, our results indicate that this plant extract could suppress the cAMP-CREB-MITF axis which consequently inhibits tyrosinase mediated melanogenesis.
