Ellerman bombs(EB) are small-scale bright features observed best in the wings of H alpha line. We used the Fast Imaging Solar Spectrograph(FISS) with the 1.6m New Solar Telescope at Big Bear Solar Observatory, in order to investigate characteristics of each EB. We analyzed H alpha line profiles of EBs, and classified EBs by their contrast profiles. To analyse characteristics of EBs, we applied power-law fitting ($C={\alpha}{\Delta}{\lambda}^{-n}$) to the EB contrast profiles. The amplitude ${\alpha}$ is a measure of the strength of an EB event (or the amount of released energy), and the power-law index n is a measure of spatial concentration of energy in the higher layers of the solar atmosphere. With the two parameters, we classified EBs into a few groups. We try to understand the physical properties of each group.

Six pig farms were surveyed to measure the odor concentrations and characteristics of ammonia and sulfide corollary compounds in piggery. They were depended on the scale of piggery, weather conditions such as temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, scales and types of pig breeding, and manure treatment methods. The highest ammonia concentrations in piggery were measured during the winter, since the tight sealed insulation in piggery made less amount of generated ammonia discharged from piggery. The objective of this study was to measure concentrations of odor in the piggery by season and growing, and to measure concentrations of odor at boundary area. So, we investigated the raising managements, manure managements, and methods of reducing odor according to farm scale. We found that concentration of ammonia gas in the swine fattening piggery in winter was the highest. This result is consistent with the lower ventilation rate to maintain Indoor temperature. In this result, there was no connection between farm scale and ventilating system. Concentration of ammonia gas was 1.64 ppm at one boundary area in the middle scale. $H_2S$, $CH_3SH$, $(CH_3)_2S$, and $(CH_3)_2S_2$ were below the standard of protection odor policy.

Let B denote the unit ball in $C^n$, and ν the normalized Lebesgue measure on B. For $\alpha$ > -1, define $dv_\alpha$(z) ＝ $c_\alpha$$(1-\midz\mid^2)^{\alpha}$dν(z), z $\in$ B. Here $c_\alpha$ is a positive constant such that $v_\alpha$(B) ＝ 1. Let H(B) denote the space of all holomorphic functions in B. For $p\geq1$, define the Bergman-Privalov space $(AN)^{p}(v_\alpha)$ by $(AN)^{p}(v_\alpha)$ = ${f\inH(B)$ : $\int_B{log(1+\midf\mid)}^pdv_\alpha\;<\;\infty}$ In this paper we prove that a function $f\inH(B)$ is in $(AN)^{p}$$(v_\alpha)$ if and only if $(1+\midf\mid)^{-2}{log(1+\midf\mid)}^{p-2}\mid\nablaf\mid^2\;\epsilon\;L^1(v_\alpha)$ in the case 1＜p＜$\infty$, or $(1+\midf\mid)^{-2}\midf\mid^{-1}\mid{\nabla}f\mid^2\;\epsilon\;L^1(v_\alpha)$ in the case p ＝ 1, where $nabla$f is the gradient of f with respect to the Bergman metric on B. This is an analogous result to the characterization of the Hardy spaces by M. Stoll [18] and that of the Bergman spaces by C. Ouyang-W. Yang-R. Zhao [13].

Objectives : The aim of this study is to measure pulse waveforms by applying 5-level graded pressure, and selecting optimum pulse waveforms. Also to proposing the possibility of using AW(Area of the 1/3 upper height of h1) rate in respect to AT(Total Area) for risk assessment of hypertension or arteriosclerosis is another aim of the study. Methods : Pulse waveforms of normotensive were measured by 5-level graded pressure. The pulse waveforms well reflecting properties of blood vessel(having the largest h1) were selected for optimum pulse waveforms. Various parameters(h-parameter, t-parameter, and others) of optimum pulse waveforms were analyzed. AIx(Augmentation index) was calculated by height-parameters to assess arterial stiffness. The area rate of the 1/3 upper height for h1 in respect to total area was analyzed according to aging. Results : According to aging 1. in height-parameter, h2 and h3 were increased but h5 was decreased. 2. In time-parameter, t2, t3, and t5 were getting short. 3. Area of systolic period was increased, and that of diastolic period decreased. 4. AIx rose by aging. 5. AW was significantly increased despite no changes in AT. Conclusions : By analyzing optimum pulse waveforms of 5-level graded pressure method, we could complement weakness of single graded pressure method. Also, possibility of applying the AW rate to risk assessment of hypertension or arteriosclerosis was confirmed in normotensive population which might not be assessed by AIx.

Caffeine and capsaicin increase resting energy metabolism. However, most measurements have been conducted in short-term studies. Therefore, we investigated the effects of caffeine and capsaicin on energy expenditure and energy substrate utilization in resting rats for 6 h. The caffeine (Experiment 1) experiment included four male rats aged 5 weeks and measured the effects of oral administration of caffeine (10 or 50 mg/kg) on respiratory gas, energy expenditure, and energy substrate oxidation for 6 h. Experiment 2 included four male rats aged 6 weeks to measure the effects of capsaicin (10 mg/kg) using the same method as in Experiment 1. The results of Experiment 1 indicated that O₂ uptake and carbohydrate oxidation after caffeine administration for 2 h was higher in the 10 mg trial than that in the 50 mg or placebo trials (P < 0.05). However fat oxidation was not significantly different. In contrast, capsaicin (Experiment 2) observed no differences between the placebo and the capsaicin trials. In conclusion, caffeine initially increased the resting energy consumption for 2 h, and this energy expenditure was due to carbohydrate oxidation. Capsaicin did not change oxygen uptake, respiratory exchange ratio, fat oxidation, or carbohydrate oxidation.

A biosensor for the measurement of malate has been constructed by the sodium-alginate immobilized bundle sheath cell tissue of corn leaf containing malate dehydrogenase (decarboxylating) (EC 1. 1. 1. 40) on the CO2 gas-sensing electrode. The proposed tissue sensor had the linear in the range of malate concentration $5.5{\times}10^{-5}M∼2.5{\times}10^{-2}M$ with a slope of 53.5 mV/decade in 0.02M Tris-HCl buffer solution at optimum pH 8.0, and $25^{\circ}C$. A response time was 16∼18min. The present L-malate sensing tissue sensor is stable for more than one week. At pH 7.4, Km value was $0.6{\times}10^{-5}M$. The various kinds of salt did not effect the signal of malate tissue biosensor as the inhibitor. We can measure the malate by the CO2 electrode at the pH=8.0. Thus, the proposed tissue sensor will be useful for the measurement of malate.

Minor B-H loop measurement for a rectangular high tensile steel was obtained by using Labview. A ferrite cores of high permeance with primary and secondary windings on the steel plate were used to form a closed loop of magnetic flux. To compensate errors due to an extremely small gap between a pair of ferrite core, and between the ferrite core and the rectangular high tensile steel, quadratic function of least square method was used. Also a 3D FEM magnetic analysis tool was used to measure H and B of the steel. B-H loop of the high tensile steel plate can be measured up to 520 A/m of a magnetic field and 0.15 T of a magnetic flux density.

Let C[0, t] denote the space of real-valued continuous functions on [0, t] and define a random vector $Z_n:C[0,t]{\rightarrow}\mathbb{R}^n$ by $Z_n(x)=(\int_{0}^{t_1}h(s)dx(s),{\ldots},\int_{0}^{t_n}h(s)dx(s))$, where 0 < $t_1$ < ${\cdots}$ < $ t_n=t$ is a partition of [0, t] and $h{\in}L_2[0,t]$ with $h{\neq}0$ a.e. Using a simple formula for a conditional expectation on C[0, t] with $Z_n$, we evaluate a generalized analytic conditional Wiener integral of the function $G_r(x)=F(x){\Psi}(\int_{0}^{t}v_1(s)dx(s),{\ldots},\int_{0}^{t}v_r(s)dx(s))$ for F in a Banach algebra and for ${\Psi}=f+{\phi}$ which need not be bounded or continuous, where $f{\in}L_p(\mathbb{R}^r)(1{\leq}p{\leq}{\infty})$, {$v_1,{\ldots},v_r$} is an orthonormal subset of $L_2[0,t]$ and ${\phi}$ is the Fourier transform of a measure of bounded variation over $\mathbb{R}^r$. Finally we establish various change of scale transformations for the generalized analytic conditional Wiener integrals of $G_r$ with the conditioning function $Z_n$.

Pesticides are widely sprayed by the growers in street trees and planting areas which include urban forests, community forests and city parks to control pests. Spraying pesticides not only affect the people who sprayed but also affect the unspecified citizens who's are exposed to pesticides sprayed trees by contact or inhalation. A few studies have been conducted to measure the amount of pesticides in forest area but no studies have been conducted to measure the pesticide amount in tree in public living space. So, in our study, we investigated the amount of pesticides in cotton gloves, in leaf residue, and respiratory exposure for a certain period of time after applying Fenitrothion EC to Korean boxweed tree (Buxus Koreana) to know the safety time of pesticides after spraying. We found that, up to 4d, there was no significant difference of the amount of Fenitrothion on leaves. But the amount of pesticides on gloves was significantly higher on 1h ($510.1{\mu}g$) and 24h ($405.4{\mu}g$) than 48h ($45.0{\mu}g$) after spraying. The amount of pesticides on inhalation was also significantly higher in 1 h ($0.2{\mu}g$) and 24 h ($0.1{\mu}g$) than 48 h after spraying. After 48h, we did not find pesticides amount in inhalation. Thus, we was considered necessary to pay attention to 48h after spraying of pesticide Fenitrothion.

Background: BIOGF1K, a fraction of Panax ginseng, has desirable antimelanogenic, anti-inflammatory, and antiphotoaging properties that could be useful for treating skin conditions. Because its potential positive effects on allergic reactions in skin have not yet been described in detail, this study's main objective was to determine its efficacy in the treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD). Methods: High-performance liquid chromatography was used to verify the compounds in BIOGF1K, and we used the (3-4-5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2-5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide method to determine its cytotoxicity in RBL-2H3 and HMC-1 cell lines. RBL-2H3 cells were induced using both anti-DNP-IgE/DNP-BSA and calcium ionophore (A2187) treatments, whereas HMC-1 cells were induced using A2187 alone. To measure mast cell degranulation, we performed histamine (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) and β-hexosaminidase assays. To quantify interleukin (IL)-4, IL-5, and IL-13 levels in RBL-2H3 cells, we performed quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR); to quantify expression levels of IL-4 and IL-13 in HMC-1 cells, we used semiquantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Finally, we detected the total and phosphorylated forms of extracellular signal-regulated kinase, p-38, and c-Jun N-terminal kinase proteins by immunoblotting. Results: BIOGF1K decreased the AD response by reducing both histamine and β-hexosaminidase release as well as reducing the secretion levels of IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13 in RBL-2H3 cells and IL-4 and IL-13 in HMC-1 cells. In addition, BIOGF1K decreased MAPK pathway activation in RBL-2H3 and HMC-1 cells. Conclusions: BIOGF1K attenuated the AD response, hence supporting its use as a promising and natural approach for treating AD.
