In this paper, we estimate the mean number of objects in the M/H₂/1 model for web service when the mean object size in the M/H₂/1 model is equal to that of the M/G/1/PS and M/BP/1 models. To this end, we use the mean object size obtained by assuming that the mean latency of deterministic model is equal to that of M/H₂/1, M/G/1/PS, and M/BP/1 models, respectively. Computational experiments show that if the shape parameter of the M/BP/1 model is 1.1 and the system load is greater than 0.35, the mean number of objects in the M/H₂/1 model when mean object size of M/H₂/1 model is the same as that of M/G/1/PS model is almost equal to the mean number of objects in the M/H₂/1 model when the mean object size of M/H₂/1 model is the same as that of M/BP/1 model. In addition, as the upper limit of the M/BP/1 model increases, the number of objects in the M/H₂/1 model converges to one, which increases latency. These results mean that it is efficient to use small-sized objects in the web service environment.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) colonization of the stomach mucosa and duodenum is the major cause of acute and chronic gastroduodenal pathology in humans. Efforts to find effective anti-bacterial strategies against H. pylori for the non-antibiotic control of H. pylori infection are urgently required. In this study, we used whey to prepare glycomacropeptide (GMP), from which sialic acid (G-SA) was enzymatically isolated. We investigated the anti-bacterial effects of G-SA against H. pylori in vitro and in an H. pylori-infected murine model. MATERIALS/METHODS: The anti-bacterial activity of G-SA was measured in vitro using the macrodilution method, and interleukin-8 (IL-8) production was measured in H. pylori and AGS cell co-cultures by ELISA. For in vivo study, G-SA 5 g/kg body weight (bw)/day and H. pylori were administered to mice three times over one week. After one week, G-SA 5 g/kg bw/day alone was administered every day for one week. Tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ (TNF-${\alpha}$), IL-$1{\beta}$, IL-6, and IL-10 levels were measured by ELISA to determine the anti-inflammatory effects of G-SA. In addition, real-time PCR was performed to measure the genetic expression of cytotoxin-associated gene A (cagA). RESULTS: G-SA inhibited the growth of H. pylori and suppressed IL-8 production in H. pylori and in AGS cell co-cultures in vitro. In the in vivo assay, administration of G-SA reduced levels of IL-$1{\beta}$ and IL-6 pro-inflammatory cytokines whereas IL-10 level increased. Also, G-SA suppressed the expression of cagA in the stomach of H. pylori-infected mice. CONCLUSION: G-SA possesses anti-H. pylori activity as well as an anti-H. pylori-induced gastric inflammatory effect in an experimental H. pylori-infected murine model. G-SA has potential as an alternative to antibiotics for the prevention of H. pylori infection and H. pylori-induced gastric disease prevention.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effect of banhasasim-tang intravenous herbal acupuncture (BST-IVHA) on emesis induced by chemotherapy in rats. Methods: This study used methotrexate(MTX)-induced Rat-Pica model. The rats were randomly allocated into seven groups; normal group, two saline groups, four Banhasasim-tang(BST) groups (groups treated with BST-IVHA). All the experimental animals except those in the normal group were injected with MTX. Those in the pre-treatment groups were treated with saline injection (saline group) or BST-IVHA (BST group) before MTX injection. Those in the post-treatment groups were treated with saline injection or BST-IVHA after MTX injection. Two different dosages of BST-IVHA solution (low dose; BST-1 group, high dose; BST-2 group) were used. The changes in body weight, food intake, and kaolin consumption at 24h, 48h, and 60h were monitored and analyzed. Results: 1. No significant change was found in body weight. 2. The food intake at 48h was increased significantly in the BST-1 pre-treatment group($19.89{\pm}0.01g$) compared to the pre-saline group($18.68{\pm}0.26g$). 3. The kaolin consumption was significantly decreased in the BST-1 pre-treatment group at 24h($0.24{\pm}0.02g$) and 60h($0.36{\pm}0.14g$), in the BST-2 pre-treatment group at 48h($0.02{\pm}0.01g$) and 60h($0.80{\pm}0.31g$) compared to the pre-saline group($24h:0.81{\pm}0.37g$, $48h:0.76{\pm}0.43g$, $60h:1.56{\pm}0.03g$). The kaolin consumption was also significantly decreased in the in the BST-1 post-treatment group at 24h($0.05{\pm}0.02g$), 48h($0.64{\pm}0.06g$) and 60h($0.14{\pm}0.05g$), in the BST-2 post-treatment group at 48h($0.01{\pm}0.01g$) and 60h($0.01{\pm}0.01g$) compared to the post-saline group($24h:0.51{\pm}0.4g$, $48h:3.58{\pm}0.33g$, $60h:2.5{\pm}0.2g$). Conclusions: BST-IVHA showed an anti-emetic effect in MTX-induced rat-pica model. This result suggests that BST-IVHA could be an effective treatment for chemotherapy-induced emesis.

This study was performed to investigate the removal characteristics of phosphate by adsorption on olivine, which is generated as industrial by-products from quarry. The adsorption of phosphate on olivine was significantly achieved within 1 hour and equilibrated after 3 hours. The adsorption capacity of phosphate was enhanced with decreasing pH. The maximum adsorption capacity was observed to be 0.463 mg/g in the condition of pH 3. The $Ca^{2+}$ and $Mg^{2+}$ ion amount per adsorbent eluted from olivine was increased with decreasing pH. The precipitation test showed that phosphate in aqueous phase under the condition of pH 3 ~ 9 could be eliminated largely by adsorption on olivine, not precipitation. Freundlich adsorption model were successfully applied to describe the adsorption behavior of phosphate on olivine. The $q_m$ of Langmuir adsorption model were 1.3369 mg/g, 1.0544 mg/g, 1.0288 mg/g at pH 3, 6 and 9, respectively. The $K_F$ of Freundlich adsorption model were 0.4247 mg/g, 0.3399 mg/g, 0.2942 mg/g at pH 3, 6 and 9, respectively. The olivine showed high feasibility as a adsorbent for the removal of $PO_4$-P.

세계적으로 게임 산업의 경쟁이 심해면서 기획력이 성공의 열쇠로 부각되고 있다. 하지만 한국 게임은 기획력 부족 논란으로 경쟁에 뒤쳐지며 해외 진출에 제동이 걸렸고 반대로 해외 게임에 국내 점유율을 잠식당하는 위기에 처해 있다. 기획력을 높이기 위해 게임에 대한 이해가 선결 과제이며 게임에 대한 이해를 돕기 위해 게임 분석은 가장 좋은 방법이다. 그러나 지금까지의 게임 분석 방법은 실무에서 사용되고 있는 세부적인 구성요소까지 분류되지 못했고 게임 디자인 외적인 부분을 고려하지 못한 채 추상적이고 한정된 범위에서 이루어져왔다. 본 논문에서 '인간의 역할'과 '게임 분석의 영역'의 2축을 기준으로 한 H-G모델을 제안하고 게임 분석 방법을 9가지 유형으로 분류하였다. H-G모델에 선행 연구를 매핑한 결과 기존의 연구들은 2가지 유형에 한정되어있음을 확인하였다. 본 연구를 통해서 앞으로의 게임 분석에 대한 연구가 H-G모델을 통해 제안한 9가지 유형을 고려한 통합적이고 체계적이 될 수 있는 가능성을 제시한다.

퀴놀론계 항균제인 nalidixic acid(OA), piromidic acid(PA), oxolinic acid(OA)를 사육수온($13{\pm}1.5^{\circ}C$, $23{\pm}1.5^{\circ}C$)에 따라서 넙치(평균체중 700 g)에 60 mg/kg의 농도로 1회 경구 투여한 다음, 경시적인 혈청내 잔류농도를 분석하였다. 수온이 $23{\pm}1.5^{\circ}C$의 경우, 투여 후 NA는 10시간째 ($11.55{\mu}g/m\ell$), PA는 24시간째($3.79{\mu}g/m\ell$), OA는 30시간째($1.12{\mu}g/m\ell$)에 각각 최대혈중농도에 도달하였다. 수온이 $13{\pm}1.5^{\circ}C$의 경우, 투여 후 NA는 10시간째($6.36{\mu}g/m\ell$), PA는 15시간째($1.4{\mu}g/m\ell$), OA는 30시간째($1.01{\mu}g/m\ell$)에 각각 최대혈중농도에 도달하였다. NA와 PA의 넙치 혈중내 흡수정도는 수온 $13{\pm}1.5^{\circ}C$보다 수온 $23{\pm}1.5^{\circ}C$에서 매우 높게 나타났으며, NA의 넙치 혈중내 소실정도는 수온 $13{\pm}1.5^{\circ}C$보다 수온 $23{\pm}1.5^{\circ}C$에서 두드러지게 빨랐다. 한편 OA의 넙치 혈중내 흡수 및 소실정도는 사육수온에 크게 영향을 받지 않는 것으로 나타났다. NA 및 PA는 one-compartment model, OA는 two-compartment model로 해석하여 WinNonlin program을 이용, 약물동태학적 매개변수(parameter)를 조사하였다. 수온이 $23{\pm}1.5^{\circ}C$의 경우, 혈장농도-시간곡선하 면적(AUC)은 NA, PA, OA가 각각 258.26, 248.12 및 $138.20{\mu}g{\cdot}h/m\ell$, 혈중최고농도의 도달시간($T_{max}$)은 10.67, 21.15 및 23.95 h, 혈중최고농도($C_{max}$)는 8.91, 3.09 및 $1.06{\mu}g/m\ell$로 계산되었다. 수온이 $13{\pm}1.5^{\circ}C$의 경우, AUC는 NA, PA, OA가 각각 341.45, 103.89 및 $159.10{\mu}g{\cdot}h/m\ell$, 혈중최고농도의 도달시간은 7.72, 12.89 및 28.03 h, 혈중최고농도는 6.23, 1.22 및 $1.02{\mu}g/m\ell$로 계산되었다.

국내에서 다량 생산되는 갈조류인 미역포자엽, 다시마, 톳, 모자반으로부터 fucoidan을 추출, 분획하여 Pb와 Cd의 흡착 특성을 조사하였다. 4종의 갈조류에서 추출한 fucoidan의 분획물 모두 Pb의 흡착량이 Cd보다 높았으며, 시료간에는 미역포자엽 분획물 (Fr-3.0)이 Pb와 Cd 모두 흡착력이 상대적으로 우수하였다. pH와 농도 변화에 따른 홉착력의 변화는 $C_f$ (잔류농도)가 50mg/L까지는 pH 간 차이가 없었으나, 농로가 증가함에 따라 pH 5.5 처리구가 다른 처리구에 비하여 흡착량이 증가하였다. 실험을 통하여 얻은 Pb 와 Cd의 최대 흡착량은 pH 5.5에서 각각 94mg/g ($C_f$164mg/L), 64mg/g ($C_f$197mg/L)였으며 Langmuir sorption model을 통해 구한 최대 흡착량은 pH 5.5에서 각각 178mg/g, 122mg/g이었다. Cd 공존시 Pb 흘착량은 $C_f$가 낮을 범위에서는 변화가 없었으나 $C_f$가 증가함에 따라 공존 이온의 흡착 방해로 인하여 감소하였다.

In this study, we developed kinetic models to predict the growth of pathogenic Escherichia coli on cheeses during storage at constant and changing temperatures. A five-strain mixture of pathogenic E. coli was inoculated onto natural cheeses (Brie and Camembert) and processed cheeses (sliced Mozzarella and sliced Cheddar) at 3 to 4 log CFU/g. The inoculated cheeses were stored at 4, 10, 15, 25, and $30^{\circ}C$ for 1 to 320 h, with a different storage time being used for each temperature. Total bacteria and E. coli cells were enumerated on tryptic soy agar and MacConkey sorbitol agar, respectively. E. coli growth data were fitted to the Baranyi model to calculate the maximum specific growth rate (${\mu}_{max}$; log CFU/g/h), lag phase duration (LPD; h), lower asymptote (log CFU/g), and upper asymptote (log CFU/g). The kinetic parameters were then analyzed as a function of storage temperature, using the square root model, polynomial equation, and linear equation. A dynamic model was also developed for varying temperature. The model performance was evaluated against observed data, and the root mean square error (RMSE) was calculated. At $4^{\circ}C$, E. coli cell growth was not observed on any cheese. However, E. coli growth was observed at $10{\circ}C$ to $30^{\circ}C$C with a ${\mu}_{max}$ of 0.01 to 1.03 log CFU/g/h, depending on the cheese. The ${\mu}_{max}$ values increased as temperature increased, while LPD values decreased, and ${\mu}_{max}$ and LPD values were different among the four types of cheese. The developed models showed adequate performance (RMSE = 0.176-0.337), indicating that these models should be useful for describing the growth kinetics of E. coli on various cheeses.

In this report, we provide experimental evidence that heavy metal ions could be removed using Pachymeniopsis sp., particularly soluble arsenic in leachate from soil contaminated by arsenic. We performed pilot scale of soil washing process based on our results. The adsorption of arsenic by Pachymeniopsis sp. indicated that it could be described with the Langmuir Model and the maximum adsorption capacity increased with decreasing pH (pH 3: 102.48 mg/g, pH 5: 98.32 mg/g, pH 7: 57.70 mg/g, pH 9: 43.34 mg/g) and increasing temperature (10$^{\circ}C$ : 60.38 mg/g, 20$^{\circ}C$ : 76.39 mg/g, 30$^{\circ}C$ : 112.12 mg/g). Our results revealed that soluble arsenic in leachate was removed from 24.03 mg/L to 0.6 ${\pm}$ 0.1 mg/L by Pachymeniopsis sp. for 48hours on pilot scale of soil washing process.
